Looking to avoid outrageous airline baggage fees?

Scott Asher — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 01:34:57 +0000

Looking to save even more on the cost your flight? If you are a hardball flight bargain hunting maven and looking to save even more money on your vacation, I have just what you are looking for. I don’t do a ton a flying, thank God! But these stupid baggage junk fees have really got me thinking. Like most of you I am trying to save a buck. With these fees, what exactly are you paying for? They call it a baggage fee, but it’s really a poke for a few more bucks. When your bag is lost, your out the extra money you paid and your bag, and that just silly. Baggage fees can add hundreds to the cost of your trips, as it turns out these are just airline junk-fees. Hopefully you will never again have to pay baggage fees and get nothing in return.

Pros to shipping your luggage vs. paying a baggage fee.

You get a tracking number – There is nothing worse than paying to have your luggage on the airplane, then when you get to your destination, it’s lost and having to pay for it. The funny thing is – The loss of your bag won’t even get your baggage fee back! With shipping, not only will you have a tracking number, you will have insurance to cover your personal items. You have to remember, the airlines are not providing you a service. They are just looking to poke you for a few more bucks. So if your going to pay, you should get the best service you can for your money.

Door to door service – Fedex and UPS will pick your luggage up from your house and it will be waiting for you when you arrive! (Most destinations accommodate packages for guest.)

No Restrictions – When you ship your bag you can ship any size with no restrictions. With the airliners, over weight, over sized, too many, can’t lock it, just too many to remember… and talk about service, now your items will be waiting for you at your destination. Never having to lug-it around in the airport. Now that’s is service worth paying for! No more back breaking, busted wheels, TSA panties sniffers, items you can’t bring, weight restrictions, size restrictions, damage or theft of your luggage.

Cheaper? – Yes! With shipping, you don’t even need luggage, all you need is a plain old box!

And all this adds up to a happier you!

Is it just me, or are these casinos just everywhere?

Scott Asher — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 13:30:33 +0000

After doing a little research online – I found an interesting casino fun-fact. If you live in the US, there is a good chance you are less than 100 miles from a casino or a place that offers some form of wagering.

Rush Poker: How Much Should You Adjust Your Game?

Scott Asher — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 11:20:52 +0000

Full Tilt’s Rush Poker has proved to be both innovative and popular among the online poker community. If you’re not familiar with the format, it’s an interesting idea – instead of players being seated at separate tables, all players are part of a player pool that the system “creates” a table from that pool for every hand dealt. The result is that you can fold you hand and instantly move on to the next hand. It’s a fascinating way to play poker, and the speed of the game really does make it feel as if you’re playing a different game entirely.

But are you? That’s an important question that will ultimately impact how you approach the game strategically. On one hand, Rush Poker is still poker, no matter how fast it moves. The cards are the same, the rules are the same. On the other hand, the speed is a major difference and seems like it should really impact the natural tendencies of the players in the games. The answer, as is often the case in poker, is to take a bit from each side and craft a strategy that acknowledges the impact of both aspects of the game.

So, when considering a Rush Poker strategy, the key is to not scrap your current approach altogether, but to tweak it slightly. The primary adjustment to make is a simple, but profound one – realize that players are going to, on the whole, play tighter in Rush Poker. Why? Because, unlike regular poker, a better hand is just a click away. A good amount of mistakes by typical players are a result of boredom, of a certain itch for action. As Rush Poker by and large pre-scratches that itch, you have to assume players are less likely to get out of line preflop and on the flop. Anticipate fewer bluffs on later streets than you are used to, and consider adjusting your value betting ranges on the river to a slightly snugger spot.

Finally, you should consider the impact of rakeback when deciding how you approach Rush Poker. If you have Fulltilt rakeback, then you can consider even a tighter approach. Why? Because the sheer amount of hands you’ll see per hour playing Rush Poker can result in significant rakeback payments, so in many cases it’s more profitable to simply open another table, tighten up a bit, and focus on playing a high quantity of hands without taking many risks. A little boring? Perhaps on one level, but after playing several tables of Rush Poker you’ll probably agree that it’s the most exhilarating grind you’ve ever experienced.

I’m moving to California!

Scott Asher — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 01:43:40 +0000

I love California, more than anything. So I thought I would list the reasons California is so great.

We are moving to California!

Because I love: Earth quakes.
Because I love: Sitting in traffic.
Because I love: Getting horse fucked with civil fines. (I know this sounds strong, you should see the fines read more. To be honest, I was leaning more towards elephant fucked.)
Because I love: Meg Whitman (She is just great… hu? She probably could single handedly save California with the amount of money she is spending on her campaign for governor. I guess eBay was better than we all thought. Maybe California should sell her the governorship? Just a crazy thought. She is just what California needs… I could just see her saying “Hey guys, if it fails we can sell it on Fee-Bay!”)
Because I love: Illegals (Yes, fuck me… I’m a raciest too. My back-up plan here is Arizona, some vacancy are expected soon…)
Because I love: Taxes

And most of all, because if all else fails, I can find a minimum-wage job with the state!

Best places to move in a recession.

Scott Asher — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 12:48:59 +0000

I offer you my version of “best” places to move list, with some interesting twist!

1.) Las Vegas these days is best described as a evacuation zone. Once a oasis, people looking to escape Las Vegas’s number one unemployment, might want to consider Oklahoma. Oklahoma City these days would be better described as Silicon-Tornado-Ally. With companies like Sprint offering jobs with great starting salaries. Oklahoma looks really good for small families right now, with very low cost housing. I don’t see how anyone could go-wrong with this little hidden treasure.

2.) This is going to sound crazy but if your white, you might want to consider moving to Arizona. If you are illegal and living in Arizona, you are more than likely fixing to leave to other towns in the US. No illegals, means more jobs! Need I say more?

3.) Move to Ohio! That’s right, Before LaBron left Cleveland you could buy a house for the price of a VCR. Now you can probably get one for a price of a bar of soap. So… save up a a few months of rent and go buy a house and live for free!

4.) TEXAS – Yes I said it! Texas is just doing better! Texas has a lot to offer people looking for a change! No matter what you do for a living, it has bound to get better in Texas. Just don’t kill someone, they will fuck you up!

5.) Mexico – Yes…. fuck it! If life in the US has got you down, Move to Mexico! For just 10k, you can comeback to the US after the recession is over! Sip on Margareta and love the senoritas! For under $500 a month you can live like a king, just don’t forget your bullet prof vest, life this good does have it’s drawbacks!

LeBron James leaving Cleveland!

Scott Asher — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 22:34:33 +0000

Will King James leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers be the nail in the coffin for struggling Ohio? Only God knows what will happen tonight. My guess is LeBron James will goto the Nets or Miami The Heat. What is sad, with all the money being made off this event on ESPN. The people that made the King will not get a penny. God Bless Cleveland

DoylesRoom online poker

Scott Asher — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 13:41:10 +0000

About 2 weeks ago I thought I would play some online poker. What-a-mistake! Online poker really is in poor shape. I recently used DoylesRoom and this MoneyLineWallet, now I am dealing with the problems. It is unbelievable, MoneyLineWallet can’t even process a 40 dollar payment without a issue. It is just so freaky, I don’t feel safe, who knows what retard has my banking info.

When I first attempted to fund my account, DoylesRoom was unable to process the transaction. Then I was directed by DoylesRoom Security, to use one of their “trusted” payment processors.

I contacted Money Line Wallet, here is the chat-log.

Chat Started: 07-06-2010 07:57:39

Chat Log:

You: hello?

MoneyLineWallet (David): hi

You: oh, I didnt think it was working

You: I made a deposit about 12 days ago, is it ever going to hit my account?

MoneyLineWallet (David): let me check

MoneyLineWallet (David): what is your user name?

You: I think it is XXXXXXXXXXX

MoneyLineWallet (David): hold

You: k

MoneyLineWallet (David): has a debit paid to Global Link shown for $40 plus a small processing fee?

You: I was not awair of a prossesing fee?

You: no

You: nothing has cleard my account

You: what is small prosses fee?

MoneyLineWallet (David): Ok I will have our banking department make sure this is processed tonight. We had a major software problem at our bank causing a lot of problems but it is resolved now. The total debit will be a little over $41

You: why cant I get an exact amount?

You: what is alittle over 42?

You: 41 rather?

You: ok, take your money and close my account, thanks

You: I will post this on my website

What are you thinking when you read that? ”We had a major software problem at our bank causing a lot of problems but it is resolved now.” WTF does that mean!! That is really scary stuff, I have to assume somehow my transaction was apart of that, or they would have their money right now. Being a computer programmer myself, I feel like I need to protect myself. This is coming from a company that boasts “16 times more secure than the average bank” Who knows how this is going to work out… Thank God it wasn’t hundreds for dollars!

Thanks, for nothing…

My plan for stopping or limiting the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico by: Scott Asher

Scott Asher — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 19:21:53 +0000

My Idea would be to build a collector that can be lower from the surface and fit over the spewing area, guided into place with assistance from a unmanned sub.

You can see from my drawing at the base of the collector it would be fitted with a bushing/collar limiting the chance of back-flow; allowing containment of the spewing oil as it rises to the collection area, naturally separating the oil from the water and pumping it to the surface.

The sidewalls have louvers installed slanted upright so oil will not escape but also allowing water flow, an important element in this design.

The top will be a cone design collecting the oil and pumping to the surface.

I will submit my plan to BP for consideration,
