Poker has been around for over a hundred years and yet, it has only really surged in popularity recently since it first spread across America in the 1800's. Since the year 2000, people have become more and more interested in the game. Because it has been around for so long, many people wonder what the reason is for the sudden interest. Well, it's not a mystery. Aside from the advent on Online poker games and tournaments, especially those played with the Texas Hold'em variation, the popularity is largely due to televised poker games, including the World Poker Tour, and celebrity poker games, like Celebrity Poker Showdown.
When poker first aired on television, viewers were unable to see the players' hole cards. Since then, new technology has provided the worldwide audience with this intimate view of the game. Add that to people's fascination with celebrities and money and you've got a winning combination. That's why the television show, the Celebrity Poker Showdown, is such a success.
The Celebrity Poker Showdown is a celebrity game show on Bravo, which shows celebrities playing poker and donating their winnings to charity. In each show, five celebrities play no-limit Texas Hold'em in a tournament for a charity of their choice.
When a celebrity is eliminated, he or she moves to the "Loser's Lounge" to watch the rest of the game. They are then interviewed by show hosts about the game and their strategy. The show is always hosted by a celebrity and this job has seen a number of high profile actors and comedians and features a running commentary by a high-profile poker expert.
The first six tournaments were played for $250,000. The four players eliminated in the first five games win $5,000 each; fourth place wins $10,000; third place wins $12,500; second place wins $20,000; and first place wins $100,000.
With the start of the seventh tournaments, the prize pool increased substantially to $1,000,000. With that change, the prize money in the championship is divided as follows; the four players eliminated in the first five games get $5,000; fifth place gets $25,000; fourth place gets $75,000; third place gets $100,000; second place gets $200,000; and first place gets $500,000.
Some of the celebrities featured include Ben Affleck, Don Cheadle, Emily Proctor, Martin Sheen, John Spencer, Hank Azaria, Nicole Sullivan, Coolio, Shannon Elizabeth, Ron Livingston, Sarah Silverman, David Cross, Tom Green, Mimi Rogers, Rosario Dawson, Mena Suvari, James Woods, Star Jones Reynolds, Matthew Perry, Tom Everett Scott, Dave Navarro, Jerry O'Connell, Kathy Griffin, Kevin Nealon, Chevy Chase, Angela Basset, Mekhi Phifer and many more.
The Celebrity Poker Showdown is so popular it has even inspired parodies of the show. In 2005, Saturday Night Live dedicated a skit to the popular tournament. Two celebrity players lent their voices to an animated TV Funhouse parody called "Celebrity Mugshot Poker," where various celebrities are represented by animated versions of their mugshots.
It is anybody's guess where poker will take the world next.

A Spring Wedding brings a theme of excitement. It's the time of year when flowers begin to bloom and the warm air is revitalizing. Even though we lose an hour of sleep, you'd never know it. We're rejuvenated from the long winter months. The bulky clothing gets packed away until next year, and we're ready to bare some skin.
This is exceptionally great news to the bride who wishes to wear a sleeveless wedding gown, or a gown made out of lighter material. Spring weddings make lighter dress attire appealing to everyone! The bridal party can wear elegant bridal gown in pastel colors of blue, yellow, pink, mauve, white, and aqua.
Spring Weddings are embraced by many couples every year. Most couples who married in Spring would tell you that it's the perfect season for a marriage ceremony. You can incorporate gorgeous seasonal flowers into your décor, such as Easter lilies, daffodils, tulips and Irises. In the colder months, these flowers are out of season and are very difficult to find. Spring provides an opportunity to embrace life and partnership. What better way to express your undying love that a spring wedding?
To compliment the theme, our tables can be draped with pastel linens, use watering cans as table centerpieces and place fresh cut flowers into their centers. Daffodils and/or tulips make a beautiful touch and they give off such a pleasing scent! Use bright colored ribbons to travel down any poles in the reception hall. It will remind family members of Maypoles, which are also associated with Spring. If you are getting married on a date close to the Easter holiday, incorporate an Easter theme to your wedding. Give miniature wicker baskets that include small personalized gifts as a wedding favor. After all, giving wedding favors is important, as it's proper wedding etiquette.
If there are a lot of small children invited to your wedding, give them room to play! Employ fun games, such as an easter egg hunt, or pin the tail on the bunny. They'll have the time of their lives on your special day. It's something that they'll never forget. Let your imagination run wild as you select your decorations. If for instance, you love butterflies, use them in your Spring wedding theme. Use butterfly card holders to let each guest know where they'll be seated. Hang butterfly decorations from the ceiling. If you can find butterfly candle holders to hold a votive, by all means do it! This is an occasion that only happens once in a lifetime. Do it with style!

jesus meditations
Richard Rohr operates under the ministry that is entitled Center For Action & Contemplation. He has it nailed. We so need both. As I was pondering my navel in the back yard, with the winds whisltlig through the trees, I felt this peace of just sitting, doing nothing, and observing all the action going on around me.
We don't do enough of that. We miss what Eckhart Tolle calls the Power of Now. And what was in my NOW moment?
Blue Jays, red birds, doves, sparrows, robbins, wood peckers, and squirrels were about doing their thing. Cars were driving in and out of the cul-de-sac. Did I mention the activity of three golden retrievers? Me, I, I just WAS. And then this is what I heard.
We in the West need to explore the East.
The West is primarily into PRAYER and of course the putting down of MEDITATION. Prayer is in a sense action direction. Do this for me God, do that for me Jesus. We Westerners are DOERS and that’s good unless that is ALL that we do.
We need a balanced prayer life and Christology.
The East is primarily into meditation which is a non-doing of course- one is just to BE! It is though a ceasing of constant doing that sctually does produce. Since Jesus came to tell us that we are ALL ONE with the Father, maybe we should try and do BOTH.
Human rage and intolerance must be abandoned.
So, how’s your prayer life and your meditation, followed by a deeper contemplation? We need every weapon in the arsenal. To choose one method over another, to choose a Western tradition over an Eastern, or to choose only what we know over what we don't is to "miss the mark".
Isn't that the definition of sin?

Face painting for children is a common pastime offered at community fairs and similar types of events. Of course there are a number of children face painting designs that may be employed. Here are some ways to choose designs that are right for the occasion.
In some instances, there may be a theme to the event where children face painting designs are employed. For example, a harvest festival that focuses on a vegetable or fruit indigenous to the area may provide the basis for the types of face painting designs that are offered. Designs such as apples, bunches of grapes, or even rows of crops may be a fun and colorful option.
The designs may draw their theme from a holiday as well. Flags may be ideal for an event centered on Flag Day, Memorial Day, or the Fourth of July. Christmas and Easter may feature children face painting designs that center on religious or secular themes associated with the event, such as crosses, Santa faces, easter eggs or hearts.
Of course, children face painting designs may also be very free form in nature. To that end, the designs may focus on anything from symbols that are indicative of local culture, favored music groups or performers, or even a hobby, such as music or an art form.
The important thing to keep in mind with these types of designs is to keep it fun and easy, so that the child will enjoy the design and have a lot of fun wearing the finished product for the duration of the event. Also, make sure the children face painting designs that are offered are within the skill range of the person who will apply the designs. That way, both the creator and the child will have a great time with the activity.

An Entrepreneur's Guide to Getting Noticed in a Noisy Marketplace
My daughter, the one I affectionately call Daughter Number 2, recently challenged herself to participate in a high school Debate Tournament, following in her mother's footsteps. The topic? Be It Resolved that Santa Claus is a Dangerous Concept Which Should be Abolished. So, 6 AM, the morning of the debate, I'm surfing the net for stories of bank robberies and kidnappings by men in Santa suits. It didn't take long before I got sidetracked onto something even better― a bunch of articles on The Santa Brand. (Let the kid do her own research!)
Gotta admit, it never occurred to me before, but Mr. Claus fits most of the criteria I set out in my upcoming book "Step Into The Spotlight! -'Cause ALL Business is Show Business!" (Publication Date: April 2008), criteria for developing a dynamic business persona using showbiz techniques.
In show business, actors, directors and playwrights spend a lot of time on character development. In business, we call this building a brand. A business persona, just like a character in a play, needs a unique look (white beard, rosy cheeks, an enlarged perimeter), a unique costume (Red Suit, much better for branding than Banker Blue), a unique name (Santa Claus), a clearly defined personality (Jollier than the Jolly Green Giant), a strong philosophy (You gotta be nice, not naughty) and the guy's gotta know his lines and stick to the script ("Ho, Ho, Ho!").
Santa does all that. And the guy's consistent. You never see him in a blue Hawaiian shirt, even if he's hanging out at the Honolulu Hilton in December. Try leaving your scarf or gloves or umbrella at a Chamber of Commerce Networking Breakfast. Would everyone immediately know to whom it belonged? They would if you forgot your red velvet hat with a dangling white pom-pom!
The Pillsbury Dough Boy, The Maytag Repairman and The Man from Glad also each have a consistent look and OK, the Dough Boy is irresistible. But none of these characters have the emotional connection with their audience that Santa has. And it doesn't matter how many times you've seen Santa's show, you'll be sitting in the front row again next December. The Maytag and Glad guys stand for dependability, but Santa's not only dependable, he stands for hope as well, ask any kid on December 24.
Speaking of kids, why is it that we let our kids sit on the laps of strange men in department stores? Why is it that year after year, chubby red suited guys get away with "naughty" deeds like robbing banks and kidnapping kids? Why? Because Santa is such a strong brand that not only kids, but adults, lower their guard and trust the guy. We even leave the guy milk and cookies by the fireplace and encourage him to break into the house when we're all asleep. Even the Grinch Who Stole Christmas eventually succumbed to his charm as did the journalist who wrote "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus". What does he stand for? Goodness and kindness and "pull out your wallet".
Santa even knows how to work publicity. Many would disagree, but my philosophy has always been that it's hard to burst onto the scene if you've been hanging around on stage all along! Santa doesn't try to get ink 365 days a year. He lets Cupid have Valentine's Day, lets the chicks and bunnies arm wrestle over Easter, leaves Thanksgiving to the turkeys and only then, bursts onto the scene after the stuffing's been stuffed away.
But we're talking business. You're probably thinking, "Yeah Tsufit, but can the guy make money?" Yah Man! Actors are always asking their director "What's my motivation?" and the classic joke answer is "To get paid". Santa knows how to bring in the bucks as well as the next guy, better even. But there's one question nobody seems to be asking. Who's he making money for?
The major downside of the Santa Brand is that, unlike the Pillsbury Dough Boy or the Man from Glad or the Maytag Repairman, Santa will work for anyone. (You'd never catch the Maytag guy hawking computers on the side.)
I recently snuck out of a marketing seminar to visit the Coca Cola Museum in Atlanta and learned that although the Claus-ster's been around for ages, Coke gave the guy his current look, Coca Cola Red suit and all, way back in the 1930's and put him to work selling The Real Thing. But like Kleenex became just another tissue and Zipper became just another fastener, Generic Red Suit Santa started raking it in for anyone who wanted a piece of the action.
It's nice that he lends his name to charity and stands on street corners pulling in bowls of dollars for the Salvation Army and unwrapped new toys for unfortunate kids. But that's where I'd draw the line if he were my brand. In Showbiz, unique characters are the show's best currency. If the character of Ugly Betty started showing up on Grey's Anatomy and The Gilmore Girls and Desperate Housewives, it wouldn't be long before she'd lose her draw.
The lesson here? Develop a clear living breathing persona for your business, but make sure it's your brand, one that has a unique look, philosophy and connection with the crowd so people will pull out their wallets for you too. Before you know it, you'll be rolling in more dough than the Doughboy!

Introduction.
The period of Easter is a particularly joyous one in most parts of the Northern Hemisphere. This time of year usually marks the end of the dreary winter, with the budding of new flora, and emergence of fauna from their hibernation. Man is not left out of this sense of renewal. Men, women and children change their outdoor clothes, from the heavy suffocating wool to the lighter linen and cotton. Easter is that time of year when children stream out of the front door squealing, squalling and running round the garden. The more enterprising ones among them bring out their bicycles and pedal down the street, calling on their neighborhood friends to come out and play.
Preparation for Easter
One of the novel traditions of Easter in the West, apart from the religious ceremonies that attend this period, is the easter egg hunt. A few days before Eater day, there is a general cleaning out of both the home and the barn. Piles of disused furniture and equipment, used clothes and rags, are brought out to be sent to the incinerators. The house frontage and garden are given a face lift. Dead leaves flowers and twigs which had survived winter are raked, pilled up and burned. Inside the home, shuttered windows are opened to let in fresh air. The living room really comes alive. The floor is vacuumed clean, the chairs tables and other furniture given a shine and polish.
Special Meals for Easter
The kitchen takes on a life of its own. Special meals are usually prepared for easter day. In most countries of Europe and North America a major component of any special Easter meal is the ubiquitous chicken egg. In traditional Christian homes, the previous forty days before Easter had been a period of deprivation and austerity in protein consumption. The period of Lent is usually one of fasting with the conspicuous absence of animal protein like beef in the meals served during the Lenten forty days. Maybe to make up for the shortfall in protein intake, while at the same time avoiding any food containing blood, the bloodless chicken egg comes in handy. All kinds of menus containing eggs are presented on the dining table.
Easter egg Hunts.
The Easter egg is a dyed or decorated egg, traditionally associated with Easter. The decorated Easter egg first started as a simple art of just painting a boiled chicken egg with red color. The preparation of the Easter egg has gone through a lot of metamorphoses to now include an elaborate process, which include embedding of sweets into egg shaped candy. Easter egg hunts have become a major part of Eater Monday celebrations in North America, Europe and some far-flung places like Australia and New Zealand. The British, who colonized these last two places as outposts of their now moribund empire, took their tradition along with them.
The easter egg hunt is one such tradition. On Easter evening the lady of the house, prepares her brightly colored eggs a few days to Easter, or maybe just got them off the shelf in a grocery store. She then packages them in foil or other suitable wrappers. Off to the garden she goes to hide them in some shrubs or under her rose bushes, while her kids are asleep. The following morning the children of the house and their invited friends go in search of the precious eggs. The more you find, the more you eat or keep.
