Steroids And Sports - With All Due Respect Congress Keep Away

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

Steroids and sports is a very serious issue. While it is proper for the lawmakers of this or any country to create laws making steroid users and sellers criminals. It is not right for Government to tell a private industry how to handle their own internal affairs.

The perception by congress is that Baseball and the other major sports in this country have a Steroid issue and if these sports don’t move fast to resolve this issue that congress will enact laws to resolve the steroid problem in sports.

Congress claims to be worried about young children in organized sports from little league thru high school who follow the example of these major leaguers and take performance enhancing steroids, Are congress imposed penalties on the professional level really going to change the level of usage among children?

If congress is really concerned about the children wouldn’t it be better to spend their energy on toughening the laws and enforcing the laws. Shouldn’t the dealers and suppliers be the focus of congress instead of the rare athlete who gets caught.

It appears that baseball has the steroid situation well in hand. Only a handful of players tested positive for steroid Use. How many players want to go thru the mental abuse of the fans that Rafael Palmeiro was subjected too after his recent suspension after a positive steroid test.

Many ballplayers have already expressed disgust over steroid use. Wouldn’t it be better to allow the sports to continue in the direction they are heading since it appears they are moving in a positive direction.

Ante Up, It’s Poker Party Time!

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Choose your Poker theme party purpose. Do you want a tournament or to celebrate a birthday? Or you could even do both at the same time! If you have a tournament, you can only use so many numbers of players and move up through a pyramid system to winning. Determine if you need an entry fee to cover chips or if each person decides on how much money they spend.

Invite your poker players with card invitations. Use oversized “cards” or simply the shape of a heart, a diamond, a club or a spade. These would all be available at the party supply store. They will also have all of the paper products needed if you will be serving food.

Poker theme products include plates, cup, napkins and tablecloths. Table pieces aren’t really needed since you need the space for card playing. Decorations can be minimal, or extravagant. Balloons in black and red, along with black and red streamers can add a dramatic effect to your theme. Add in a little gold to symbolize money, and you have an elegant look.

Food can be made into fun poker shapes. Cut sandwiches, brownies or anything else into shapes of the cards - hearts, diamonds, etc. Rename food dishes to coincide with your theme. Make Sloppy Joes into King of Spade sandwiches. Make it unique and people will talk about it for weeks after.

Remember to take pictures as people fall out of the tournament. Take a group picture to post on a website or to save and add to if you make it a yearly event. Another good idea would be to donate any profits to a local charity.
