Once again I’ve been lagging with updating my site and my last few articles have been bleh at best. However I hope to make up with it not by posting something with substance but with pictures of hot girls with fish.

Nothing like starting your day with a bikini clad fishing hottie.  So being a man of very few words I’ll let the pictures of chicks with fish do the talking.

As you can some of you have noticed I am a somewhat of a degenerate poker player. If I am not playing in a casino I play in home games. When playing in home games one thing that drives me crazy are playing cards that stick to together or bend just by taking a peek at them. Cheap poker cards while very inexpensive may be good for 10 even 20 hands, after that they have a permanent bend to them and will soon begin sticking when trying to deal them

Cheap poker cards can easily be manipulated to expose to a trained eye what card or suit it is. Therefore it’s imperative you play poker with a good high quality set of playing cards.

Copag Cards and Kem Cards are the absolute best playing cards on the market. Both are 100% plastic playing cards and both can be lifted virtually all the way over without ever creasing. Copag playing cards offer a lifetime guarantee on their cards which includes creasing!

Anyway, my main reason for writing this is my friend has created an online webstore where he is offering discounted Copag cards and Kem cards. His prices are lower than most that I’ve seen online and his shipping prices can’t be beat. Remember to look at the total cost including shipping and you see that’s where the real price comes in.

Look below for some examples on his low cost playing cards.

As you can see and have probably landed here from searching for them is I have a few free WordPress themes I’ve designed and allow for free use. I’ve literally had 10s of 1000s of downloads but the one I’ve followed up on and am very proud they decided to use one of my WordPress themes is Give To The Gulf

I have no affiliation with them whatsoever and now live in Southern California. However I did grow up on the Gulf coast. My father was born in New Orleans, grew up in Mississippi then I lived in all over southern Louisiana till I was in the 3rd grade then moved to Houston, TX where I lived till I was 23. I have family strewn throughout the area that have been devastated by hurricanes and now are being devastated by the BP oil spill. That’s just a quick synopsis on why I’m happy the Give To The Gulf website has chosen one of my themes to use.

I have not contacted them but according to their blog they’ve delveloped the site to help those along the Gulf of Mexico that are suffering from the oil spill which created an environmental catastrophe. They are gathering assistance from musicians who donating their work for .99 Apple’s iTunes download to be donated to those affected by the Gulf oil spill.

From the Give To The Gulf blog “We do not make a single penny from this effort.   We are an entirely volunteer group of musicians and technologists who have put this program together.  We’ve donated our own time and money to build and host this Web site. Our goal is simply to help in every way we can…..When you download the album or individual song, 100% of the sale (less Apple’s standard iTunes distribution fee) will go directly to the United Way and their relief efforts in the Gulf region.  That is our promise to you.” Please help the fine people affected by the Gulf oil spill and get some good music to boot! Just know that this disaster was a a natural disaster it was one created by a very rich oil company who in the long run will screw anyone out of a dime if they can. And they will

At 7yrs old in Crystal Beach, TX Port Boliver Peninsula along the Gulf Coast

I have fished the Gulf of Mexico from Mississippi all the way down to Mexico with my father. I’ve gone Shrimping from Galveston and over into Louisiana waters with my Grandfather countless times. I remember the waters along Gulf very well and it kills me to see yet another disaster come to the area. My grandparents built a house in Crystal Beach, TX with their own hands, the only help they had was carrying the cast iron bath tub up a flight of stairs. That house along with virtually every other house was completely leveled by hurricane Ike. I have a great uncle that was still shrimping up to just a few weeks ago but now he’s seen oil on the shrimp and his income is gone.

America seems to run to the aid of any country in the world dumping billions of dollars into the relief and rebuilding. I’m pretty sure our government will leave the fine folks of the Gulf of Mexico to fend for themselves. Right or wrong, it’s up to us to help our own. Please go to Give To The Gulf and help today.

Venture Heat is the manufacturer of heated apparel and Far Infrared Ray Heat Therapy products.
Some of the items they make are heated gloves, heated vest, heated jackets and heated wraps for pain relief.

All are great ideas and used in the right conditions work ok some of the time. The main issue I have observed is the battery used to power the heated gloves, jackets and vest. They simply do not last that long, at least not as long as they claim they do. I’ve personally heard claims that the batteries last up to 6 hours while areas of their website claim up to 5 hours of battery. This is simply not true, you’ll be lucky to get a maximum of 2 hours of use at ANY power setting. Many of the batteries I have personally observed last only 30 minutes and in many cases didn’t work at all. This is true for their heated clothing like the heated jackets, heated gloves as well as their heated pain relief products.

Personally I think their heated glove liner is the best bang for your buck. It can be worn as an underlining to many different gloves for different purposes and because it acts as an insulating liner you can wear it with any style you wish. Whatever you do, DO NOT purchase their SG-20 gloves. They heat only the finger tips and are pretty much useless.

As for their heat therapy products it’s a great idea but a poorly implemented heat therapy wrap. If you wish to purchase any of the Far Infrared Ray products from Venture Heat, purchase only the SH-55 Heated Back Wrap for portability or the Universal Wrap if you only need pain relief at home and do not mind being plugged into the wall. However as mentioned before the batteries used in their products just do not perform as the advertise.

I suggest only the back wraps because while having a form fitted heat therapy device for pain management is a great idea the wraps are not designed in a way that the heat or FIR effectively penetrates the skin. The argument is with FIR you don’t even need the heat and this may be true but the fact of the matter is we need and want heat just to satisfy our minds. Basically if you mind is telling you that you aren’t being relived of pain, you’ll still feel pain and you’ve dropped $100 TO $140 for nothing.

Until they get the battery issues fixed I would wait before spending a dime on any of their products. They will tell you the battery issues have been fixed but I assure you, they have not. If you do purchase any of their products you have 30 days to get a refund and they are very good about that so I suggest you not be afraid to take advantage of that.

Seriously this makes me ill. What the hell is wrong with people that would cause them to do this? There really is no reason they should not know they have alternatives.

SANTA ANA – An 18-year-old mother was charged with murder Thursday for stabbing her newborn daughter and hiding the corpse in her closet, county prosecutors said.

Yoselin Torres Tovar, 18, of Fullerton is charged with felony murder and child abuse with a sentencing enhancement for inflicting great bodily injury, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s office.

She will be arraigned Friday. If convicted, she faces a maximum of 25 years in prison, prosecutors said.Authorities say Torres gave birth to the infant Saturday night in her family’s home. She is accused of stabbing the baby to death, and then putting the dead infant in her bedroom closet. No one in her family knew she was pregnant, prosecutors said.

Torres was bleeding, so her family members took her to St. Jude Hospital in Fullerton, prosecutors said. Doctors determined Torres just gave birth, and called police. They later found the dead baby in the closet.

She is the second young Fullerton mother in the past two weeks to be charged with killing her newborn baby.

Yanira Valderrama, 20, was arrested April 8 on suspicion drowning her newborn baby boy and hiding his body in a trash can in September. She faces the same charges as Tovar and will be arraigned April 30.

Parents who don’t want their newborn infants have alternatives.

California’s Safe Surrender law allows parents to drop off an unwanted newborn at any fire station or hospital within 72 hours of birth with no questions asked.

Anyone that knows me knows I love baseball and dogs, so what better video could I give you than the one shown here.

Just over a year ago I had to put my Labrador Retriever to sleep because she had cancer that ran through her nose and it was beginning to work it’s way to her brain. Emotionally, it was one of the hardest things I ever had to do in my life. After the vet administered the drug (I forget what it was) she let me sit there with her for as long as I needed. I sat there and balled my eyes out. I cried more over her passing than I did for my mother or father combined. I loved that dog more than most people I know and could never ever imagine causing her harm in any way. Especially through neglect or physical abuse.

Knowing the love I had for her, I knew at some point I’d get another dog but have not been ready to do so for a number of reasons until now. So it’s a matter of where will I find another pooch, which breed, color and so on. The decision has been made I’ll go for a rescue dog and the online search has begun! Awesome! Or so I thought.

What I have found that humans do to dogs makes me literally sick to my stomach. I thought I would be looking through web sites where dogs may be in a pound hoping to be rescued before being put to a premature death hopefully with a smile on my face that I may be able to save just one. Of course I expected to see mangy dogs found on the street also suffering from malnourishment, but what I found in addition is what bothered me so bad. What I found instead were beautiful helpless puppies up to senior dogs that were rescued from assholes that beat, tortured or neglected them to a point they were almost unrecognizable as the lovable creature they are. I ended up spending a night literally crying at was I was reading.

I came to the conclusion as drastic as this may sound, these people don’t deserve to live. Now, I’m not saying I am going to go out and kill anyone, but if I hear of someone who has harmed one of these dogs suffering a horrible death I will have a heartfelt chuckle over it. hope they burn in hell.

Yes I can hear it now “oh here is one of those PETA preaching MFers”. This is one of those bleeding hearts “that puts a dog before a human” No I am not a PETA lover, in fact I eat meat, own leather and I’d like to see a few of them burn as well. But when I read about an animal who wants nothing more than to be loved and play ball by those who own it makes me sick.

Even the dumb broad that took her perfectly healthy dog to the pound to be euthanize because her future husband said she couldn’t keep the dog at his place. Hasn’t that stupid bitch heard of pet adoption? There are plenty of foster homes out there! Could she not even consider giving the dog away? Stupidity like that is what deserves a lethal injection.

Anyway I have no real end to this rant other than saying if you abuse your pets you’re an asshole, you don’t deserve to live either.

If you cannot care for your pet please consider putting it up for adoption. You are no more of a man because you can beat up a pit bull by sticking cigarette butts into its forehead and it does nothing to you.

Here’s a few links that may help you find a loving home for your pet. If you are not anywhere near these places a simple online search like pet adoption then your city name after it will easily put you in touch with someone who can help you.

So what these people have been fighting for 30 years is a rock that only rose 6 inches out of the water?? Are you kidding me? And now it makes Yahoo’s front page as an argument in favor of Global Warming?

People, this is a piece of rock that could be covered up with a high tide, or lapped over by a boats wake much less to say the oceans natural waves. It could very well be the sea bottom below has sunk a little each year. Sand is very light weight and the ocean floor is always changing as are the coastal beaches. I’m sure if I took a few minutes I could find other reasons that sound far more valid.

However, it seems to me the more important need here is to mark that sucker so a ship or boat doesn’t run up on it.

“What these two countries could not achieve from years of talking, has been resolved by global warming,” said Hazra.Scientists at the School of Oceanographic Studies at the university have noted an alarming increase in the rate at which sea levels have risen over the past decade in the Bay of Bengal.Until 2000, the sea levels rose about 3 millimeters 0.12 inches a year, but over the last decade they have been rising about 5 millimeters 0.2 inches annually, he said.
