Card Shark Uses Skills to Inform, Not Exploit Casino Consultant Demonstrates Cheating Techniques to Casinos, Law Enforcement Agencies, and Now the General Public
Florence, KY (ContentDesk) January 7, 2006 -- Beginning Sunday, January 8, its Vegas Week on the Travel Channel. Cheats & Scams 2 features Sal Piacente, an expert on casino scams. This airs in the advent of the (January 24) release of Poker Cheats Exposed, produced by Pocket Aces, LLC. The 2-1/2 hour DVD program features Piacente revealing the methods/devices used by professional card sharks to fleece unwitting poker players and offers advice to guard against them.According to Card Shark Media, an estimated 60 million people in the U.S. play poker in casinos or at home or watch poker on television.
Poker is so hot right now, especially with the young crowd. Theyre real vulnerable (to card sharks), Piacente comments. Casinos and card clubs dont have a vested interest in poker like they do other games. No matter who wins, they collect the rake. Its up to the players to protect themselves and thats where I come in. For over two decades, Piacente has been a consultant to over 40 major casinos and law enforcement agencies throughout the U.S.A., Canada, the Caribbean, and even as far south as Argentina.To gain a prospective from the dark side of the table, PCE unveils the arsenal of a 45-year poker cheat who has never been caught.
This shadowy cardsharp, called Charlie, exposes his moves, but not his identity. I learned to play on the square before I learned to cheat and Im a good player. I use discretion- (I) only move when necessary because I dont want to make the guy that brought me in look bad. Virtuous con man? The jurys still out on that one.Pocket Aces, LLC is a Florence, KY based company that produces informational programs and materials related to the gambling industry.

Don't Use Markers to Label CDs and DVDs
Many people use markers to write on the surface of their CDs and DVDs when labeling their media.
What most people do not know is that using markers, such as Sharpies, ballpoint pens, or any other sharp object can be very damaging to the media.
Most markers contain chemicals that create oxidation, which can deteriorate the CD or DVD.
The oxidation can ruin the aluminum, which covers the surface of the media and ultimately can destroy the data on the disc.
Additionally, these types of markers can damage the physical structure of the disc.There are a couple of ways to avoid these problems.
Special pens are now sold which are made specifically for writing on media.
One brand is called Staedtler Lumocolor CD/DVD Markers (pictured to the right).
Another tip to keep in mind is that off the shelf markers can be used on media that has been screen printed because the screen printing protects the data from chemical destruction..

Home Entertainment At Its Best--Your Private Home Theater
You LOVE watching movies, but don't always have the time to roundup the family and journey to the local theater, or can afford to shell out the money for the cost of the tickets and the criminally priced greasy popcorn. So, you often resort to renting videos from your local store, but watching them on your 27" TV just doesn't quite have the same impact. Not only is the picture quality awful, the sound is even worse through those 4" speakers in your TV set. You've been hearing a lot about "Home Theater", and both your neighbor and your brother-in-law have the huge, new, big screen TVs, powerful surround receivers, and gargantuan speakers to shake the entire house. The kids are begging for a similar system, but your spouse is saying "no" to remodeling the front room for a wall full of techno gadgets.
So, how do you keep everyone happy? Perhaps the answer lies in a home theater system. Whether you are considering a home theater-in-a-box for $200, or are adding a entire room to house...
