Pennsylvania (PRWEB) April 17, 2008

GuaranteedMonitor.com is pleased to announce it’s Online Guaranteed Tournaments Guide. GuaranteedMonitor.com is an online poker portal dedicated to the provision of instant access to current, online poker tournament schedules. With simple navigation and user-friendly sorting features, visitors to GuaranteedMonitor are now able to search through online poker guaranteed tournaments at break-neck speed.

The idea behind GuaranteedMonitor is to give online poker players a single destination where they can find online guaranteed tournaments from all poker networks in a single, convenient web site. The extensive database allows users to search by a multitude of categories that include start time, poker room and/or network, prize and buy-in fees.

GuaranteedMonitor’s online poker tournament guide offers the user all of the vital information needed to assess the value and optimism of any online poker guaranteed tournament. Learn the exact time, location and network of each guaranteed tournament, along with the game type (Hold’em, Omaha, Bounty, etc.), Limit, Payout and Buy-In. Under the Buy-In info will be a letter that indicates the tournament’s rules, as well. For example, R=Rebuy and F=Freezeout. In short, visitors will be left without question, provided a complete overview of each and every guaranteed tournament.

The folks at GuaranteedMonitor realize that guaranteed tournament schedules aren’t every online poker enthusiast’s cup of tea. Therefore, visitors can also choose to search Online Poker Freerolls Tournaments, presenting the same essential data across all online poker networks.

GuaranteedMonitor has integrated several enticing features aside from the online poker tournament schedules that users may find of great use. These include a Poker Rakeback listing, where visitors will find details on all exclusive rakeback deals; a No Deposit listing of all online poker rooms with a no deposit offer; a Poker Odds Calculator and other Poker Software section that describes many of today’s most popular software programs that assist poker players in winning more often.

The online poker information, freeroll and guaranteed tournament schedule guide encompasses 28 online poker networks, spanning literally hundreds, if not thousands, of online poker rooms. Supported networks include the immensely popular Entraction, iPoker Network, Microgaming, Cryptologic, BossMedia, OnGame, Cake Poker, PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker, Party Poker, PKR and more.

Webmasters with an online poker portal of their own will find the GuaranteedMonitor Tournament Schedule available for use on their own site, free of charge, using their own affiliate codes. Webmasters need only insert a small script into their html, containing a unique ID that automatically displays the user’s affiliate links. The tournament schedules are always kept up to date for the most current information. There are a few linking requirements that vary by freeroll tournament schedules and guaranteed tournament schedules, but use of the script is absolutely free.

GuaranteedMonitor would like to extend an invitation to all online poker players, new and old, to make use of its free online poker tournament guide. There is no registration, login or subscription required. The compilation of so many poker networks and tournaments in a single database is a convenient, if not invaluable, resource to online poker players.

(PRWEB) August 30, 2003

eMedia, LLC today launches a new website that is the answer to a question that many people have been asking. The question: How can I get back at someone who crapped on me, who treated me real bad? The answer: http://www.CrapOnMe.com.

Conceived by the President of eMedia LLC, http://www.CrapOnMe.com is the site where people have the opportunity to describe how they have been crapped on by other people. Said Jim J. Hobuss, President of eMedia, LLC, “I developed the idea for this site when someone that I knew had been really crapped on by her landlord. This landlord knew there was toxic mold in her apartment that was causing health problems for my friend, but he did nothing about it. Eventually, my friend moved out. Within a week, that landlord had a family with a small child moved into the apartment, and the mold that was hidden in the wall was never cleaned up. It was then that I thought there had to be a better way. There had to be a way for people like my friend to post descriptions of this event in her life, and the name of her landlord, so that other people can read about him and make a more informed decision about whether they want to rent from him or not.”

This website is valuable to a huge percentage of the population. To people who have been dealt with unfairly by someone else, the site is a place where they can go and document their treatment. In a very real way, their ability to do this is cathartic. People who are considering doing business with other people or a particular business can come to the site and read any posts that might exist about that person or business. And for everyone else, reading the stories of others can be very entertaining.

Said Jim J. Hobuss, “most people don’t know it, but Insurance Companies in the United States all have access to, and report to, a national database of policy holders. Whenever a claim is filed on an insurance policy, the company owning that policy creates a record in this database. The consequence to this deceptive practice is that the person who tries to find better rates with another insurance company has the cards stacked against them … the other insurance company has all your claim history. One of the benefits of this site is that it takes an element of control away from the insurance companies. Now, the general consumer has the opportunity to read how an insurance company they are considering doing business with treats its existing policyholders.”

The http://www.CrapOnMe.com site has many easy-to-use and convenient features that will make the browser want to come back frequently. For example, there is a top 10 list that describes the 10 most crappy reports made by people. There is also a Featured Crap list that describes the most popular crappy reports made.

The site is free to access and use.

“We feel it is important that people have this voice. People and companies that you are considering doing business with all have a reference list that has been carefully crafted to only give positive and glowing reports. What good is that? With this site, people have the opportunity to read the negative reviews.” Jim J. Hobuss continued, “Whether you have been crapped on by someone, are considering doing business with someone and want to check to see if they have a tendency to crap on people, or, just have a few minutes and want to be entertained, this site is a must-see bookmarked site. When you come and take a look, you’ll want to come back often.”

Anaheim, CA (PRWEB) April 27, 2012

Already a home-improvement star in thousands of back yards, Synthetic Grass Warehouse artificial turf is ready for prime time. In an upcoming episode of “Kitchen Crashers” on the DIY Network, SGW’s Majestic turf steals the show during a high-definition makeover of an outdoor living area.

This episode in the first-year series, emerging as a fixture of DIY’s popular “Crashers” Monday-night reality block, is scheduled to premiere July 9 at 9:30 p.m. ET.

Each week, host Alison Victoria and other designer and contractor professionals surprise enthusiastic do-it-yourselfers at home-improvement stores, follow them to their house and transform their underwhelming space into a dazzling showstopper. In this show, “Kitchen Crashers” comes to the rescue of a random homeowner shopping in Henderson, Nevada, outside Las Vegas. A “green” conversion for an outdoor living space is prescribed; Damon Long, a designer, specifies artificial turf for its beauty and long-lasting, maintenance-free aspects.

Spoiler alert: SGW provided Majestic synthetic grass — a plush, all-polyethylene, lifelike artificial grass with olive-colored highlights – and, according to “Kitchen Crashers” producer Nikki Frakes, “The results were fantastic.”

DIY Network, which reaches more than 50 million households in the United States, is enjoying one of its highest-rated seasons, bolstered by “Crashers” programming and the celebrity of Victoria, who has supervised a $ 160 million expansion of the Silverton Casino Hotel in Las Vegas and designed a unit for Trump Tower in Chicago. However, product placement also has a co-starring role on “Kitchen Crashers,” and viewers are invited to further explore and purchase featured items from each episode at DIY’s Marketplace website (http://www.marketplace.diynetwork.com).

SGW’s Majestic synthetic grass will be showcased in DIY’s online marketplace, including specifications, pricing and a link to the company’s own site (http://www.syntheticgrasswarehouse.com).

About SGW

Synthetic Grass Warehouse, the exclusive national distributor of TigerTurf artificial turf, is the best-selling brand in North America. Founded in 2003, SGW delivers a wide selection of landscape turf, pet turf, putting greens and accessories for artificial grass and offers same-day shipping on all orders.

London, UK (PRWEB) August 22, 2007

Red Lounge Casino, which is powered by Cantor Gaming, has been given the best Google rating for high payout games. The online casino provides the highest payouts, which are available for all its games in all categories.

Payout is the main emphasis of the online casino’s promotions. New players get a £50 bonus, and during the summer months a weekly promotion has been on that offers 15% rebate for regular clients and 20% for VIPs. No matter how much players have won over the week, 15% of the sum they have lost is automatically transferred back to their account every Wednesday.

Most games at the Red Lounge Casino also focus on payout. If we take the blackjack games for instance, the Single Deck Blackjack has been rated best payouts by Inside Edge magazine, and Double Exposure 21 has 99.74% payout.

Moving to the category of casino poker games, Red Lounge Casino offers one of the best odds on Jacks or Better Poker anywhere – 99.54% payout when played optimally. Let Them Ride is a fast-paced online casino poker game where payout may reach £50 000, and the online casino’s Caribbean Poker pays 250 to 1 on Royal Flush.

The online casino also offers a wide range of slot games. One of them, Luxuria Video Slots, combines a great luxury-travel theme with high quality graphics, game play and very generous payouts. Bets range from 5p to £21 per spin and there is the ability to bet up to 21 lines per spin. Pharaoh’s progressive slot machine and the Football 5-Coin Slot are designed to payout 98.1% which makes them one of the highest paying slot machines anywhere. Another high-paying opportunity is that of the Jungle King Slot, where a single pay line can pay up to almost £19 000.

The casino’s Baccarat, claimed to be the best of its kind, is among the star performers as far as winnings are considered. Virtually all casinos take 5% commission on winning banker bets. The baccarat at Red Lounge offers players 4% commissions, combined with 9 to 1 payout.

The online casino’s overall policy is exclusively targeted to satisfy the needs of even the most demanding customers. Payouts are increasingly turning into a main consideration in the selection of appropriate online casino games, and the Red Lounge Casino has perfectly adapted to meet the expectations of players. Its generous payouts are combined with faultless customer service and one of the best graphics among online casinos.

The Daily Fiber Films Logo

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 24, 2012

Daily Fiber Films, a group of professional filmmakers producing online comedy videos, was selected by L.A. Comedy Shorts Film Festival, the largest comedy film festival in the USA, to screen two films in 2012, “Do Not Push” and “The Two Lovers”, marking five films in three years. This little known comedy group is proving that, even online, quality filmmaking beats quantity when it comes to audience likes, comments, and viewer retention.

“We’re professional filmmakers, so from day one we made a commitment to making high quality content we could be proud of,” says Raymond McAnally, actor, writer, and co-founder of Daily Fiber Films. “We didn’t have money to throw around, so we used what we had- experience and expertise as trained filmmakers. With no funds to advertise, we had to trust word would spread and an audience would build, that there were people like us out there who wanted to see something well made, every time. Looks like those folks are starting to find us.”

The numbers, on a word of mouth level, certainly agree with McAnally’s optimistic gamble. Daily Fiber, who’s main presence is focused on the their YouTube Channel, jumped from 5,000 subscribers in October 2011 to over 19,500 today. At present, the channel isn’t backed by a network or have anyone focused on marketing them. “We have to leave it up to the fans right now. We are too busy developing the next funny video”, says Mark Nickelsburg, director and partner at Daily Fiber.

In January 2010, co-founders Raymond McAnally and Ryan Gould set a goal of producing a video a month. By March, their first two films were set to screen at the 2010 L.A. Comedy Shorts Film Festival. “It was the only comedy festival at the time that focused on the kind of short films we were making and we got in, twice” says Ryan Gould. The comedy festival lead to features on the homepage of Will Ferrell’s FunnyOrDie.com and other sites. In October, due to a fan referral, Daily Fiber was featured by the youtube mega-hit channel TheStation2, part of Maker Studios. The focus of the feature was to introduce “the best small channels on youtube” and led to over 3,650 new subscribers in two days. Daily Fiber brought onboard a new collaborative partner in writer and director, William Philbin. In 2011, Mark Nickelsburg joined the team and they were selected once again to screen at L.A. Comedy Shorts Film Festival, their home away from New York City.

Today, Daily Fiber Films is happy with what they’ve accomplished and have set their sights on where the company could go if people continue to spread the word. “If you look at our videos, our fans are incredibly supportive. We take pride in the fact our videos have hundreds of “likes” and only three or four “dislikes”. Our comments section is filled with positive feedback, love for what we do, and a constant request that we make more videos”, says McAnally. One need only click one of the twenty-five well loved videos by Daily Fiber Films to see this statement isn’t just hype. The fact seems to be that quality online comedy videos, like the ones made by Daily Fiber Films, are out there and audiences are asking for them.

L.A. Comedy Shorts Film Festival screens at the Downtown Independent Theater.

“The Two Lovers” Saturday, April 28th @ 1pm in Block #4

“Do Not Push” screens Sunday, April 29th @ 12pm in Block #8

(PRWEB) August 11, 2006

The largest and richest game in poker history, the Main Event of the 2006 World Series of Poker, is down to its final nine players, and Team Bodog’s Jamie Gold is leading the way. Gold, a former Hollywood agent turned television producer from Malibu, Calif., has amassed a commanding chip lead during the past eight days of the tournament and will sit down at the start of the final table on Thursday with a whopping $ 26,650,000 in chips — $ 8.88 million more than his nearest competitor.

Gold’s $ 10,000 entry into the Main Event was provided by Bodoglife.com, the online gaming giant and leading digital entertainment brand. He is competing against the eight players who remain from a field of 8,773 for an unprecedented first-place prize of $ 12 million and the coveted gold championship bracelet. All remaining players are guaranteed to take home at least $ 1,566,858.

“Jamie came to us through our Hollywood connections,” said Calvin Ayre, Founder and CEO of Bodoglife.com. “We knew he was a good player with some impressive tourney results, so we thought he’d be a strong competitor. An amazing run like this one we really can’t call, but we did see his potential.”

More than 500 players qualified to the various WSOP tournaments by playing poker online at Bodoglife.com. Gold is among the 400 Team Bodog players participating in the Main Event. Originally from Paramus, N.J., the 36-year-old former agent has represented a number of A-list celebrities including James Gandolfini, Felicity Huffman, Lucy Liu and Brandy. Gold quit being an agent six months ago and is now the head of production at Buzznation, a branded entertainment media and production company based in Los Angeles. Gold is working on producing a branded reality television series.

An avid poker player, Gold grew up in a family of card players, with his mother a longtime poker player and his grandfather a gin rummy champion. Gold plays close to 40 hours a week in Los Angeles area card rooms and has earned just under $ 100,000 in tournament winnings over the past 15 months. Gold has also had the opportunity to learn from one of the game’s biggest legends — 10-time WSOP bracelet holder Johnny Chan. The two met while working together on a poker television concept. In exchange for Gold’s assistance, Chan promised to help him refine his game. Both Gold’s mother and Chan are at the WSOP cheering him on.

But even with his poker pedigree and legendary mentor nearby, it is the person who cannot be with Gold in Las Vegas that is providing the most strength and motivation for him — his father.

Gold’s father, Dr. Robert Gold, has ALS, better known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, which makes him immobile. According to Gold, the money he wins at the Main Event will go toward making his father as comfortable as possible.

“He’s not well,” Gold said of his 76-year-old father. “He can’t move in his own body. He can’t swallow anymore. He has a breathing machine. This is all for him.”

The final table of the WSOP Main Event will begin Thursday at 2 p.m. (PST) at the Rio Casino and Suites in Las Vegas. The event will be broadcast on August 22 at 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. on ESPN. Do you have the skills to become next year’s WSOP champion? To learn more about qualifying for major poker tournaments, including the WSOP 2007 Main Event, visit bodoglife.com.
