Which of Your Poker Images Should You Hang on to?

By Thomas Kearns

It may be entirely beyond the average poker player that at any moment of the game he or she projects a specific image. Players are either unaware of the fact that an image had better be consciously maintained or trying to avoid projecting any image by assuming a sort of somberly inexpressive expression. Shielded behind shades and baseball cap, unsmiling, moodily silent, they believe that they thus "minimize" communication with the rest of the table.

But unless they completely disappear - did Welles's invisible man play poker? - they will always project just enough information for good players to exploit. They are not only likely to attract other and better skilled silent scarecrows similar to themselves, but they are also likely to scare away those players who would otherwise constitute the bulk of their regular income.

To become utterly neutral is not the same as to become beyond observation. Active controlled communication with opponents, when managed correctly, is likely to yield much better result than a blank attitude. A blank attitude is most probably, in most cases, a sign of weakness rather than of sense or strength.

If it is a retreat from controlled active participation, it is always a weakness (the alternative is not hyperactivity, but balanced calculated manipulation). Moreover, these players probably do not suspect that for the skilled opponent they probably still have tells of one type or another somewhere about their inevitably, even if reluctantly, living breathing person.

A non-serious player will look for a table where folks seem to be having fun. They will cruise around the room until they stumble upon the table with laughing friendly players gathered around. They are not looking for a serious game but for some fun and so a potential opponent's skills are not a priority.

On the other hand, those that play poker as a profession are also looking for that table of good time Charlies. Nothing like a bunch of fun loving amateurs to whet the pros appetite for the game. The laughing amateur will linger at the table as long as he has having fun and may not even notice he is losing his shirt. He will not play with a bunch of non-communicative, somber zombies.

Sparkling conversation and a sense of fun in combination with compliments on others play will keep an amateur in a trusting frame of mind and keep him returning to that table again and again. They don't play for an income or for the thrill of risk so they will not be upset by losing to an amusing opponent.

By keeping weaker opponents in a fun frame of mind, you encourage their high hopes of lady luck finding her way to them. Lady luck will visit occasionally and turn them into frequent players and attract still more fun-loving amateurs to the table. If you display a cold attitude, they will leave.

The best professionals are aware that they project an image and so are cautious as to what that image is at any given time. They have created an image to add to their interests, not to shun others. They have learned their superior technique through experience and have learned to manipulate the game to their advantage by creating a persona that establishes a positive environment in which everyone wants to join in including the heedless, fun-loving victim. - 31406

How to Do Stage Magic Card Tricks

By James Wong

A common principle used by magician to produce something on stage from a hidden place which is demonstrated in the classic decanter magic trick. A handkerchief is pulled by a thread rapidly to appear inside a transparent decanter placed on a table. This pulling thread principle could be used in various different situations to produce objects as the magician desires.

Another application of the same principle is the use of the elastic cord instead of the thread. This also, working like the thread, brings the object from a concealed hiding place. A familiar example is The Card Sword, or a similar device for producing a handkerchief. Here the elastic extends through the hollow blade and emerges at the tip. The cards or handkerchiefs are attached to the end of the elastic. The elastic is stretched out and brought down behind the blade so that the cards or silks may be concealed within a hiding place at the handle.

When the elastic is released the production springs into view at the tip of the blade. The principle is still the same as that in the decanter trick. Here are the familiar hiding place, the object to be produced, the location at which it is produced, and a means of bringing the object to its destination suddenly. Basically, the only difference is that the performer applies the power before the performance. The energy is expended when he stretches the elastic. This power remains stored up for use until needed.

In the above variation the change is in the indirect application of the power prior to performance. You need not use a sword. A broom, a long stick, a cane or anything supplying sufficient length of elastic to allow the object to be produced to reach its hiding place, and with sufficient "take-up" to bring the object to its place of appearance, will do. This principle has been used for years to bring a rose, concealed beneath the armpit, into the buttonhole. It could cause a necktie to appear-perhaps it has.

For stage workers, they may consider incorporating such device in their stage act. For example, they may bring in a coil of rope and scissor magically with the pulling device. And then they can move in to do a cut and restored rope routine. How about a deck of cards for some card manipulation actions?

Think about other ways to apply the force required to bring the object into view. This will be very useful to adapt the trick to different applications. An assistant can be used to pull the thread at the right moment. Or a counterweight is released to pull the thread. Other mechanical device that produces suitable force can be considered. If the method of a stored power is used, elastic chords or springs can be used. - 31406

Invent New Magic Tricks with Old Magic Principles

By Matthew Wong

Everyday there are new magic tricks selling in the market. To tell you the truth, many of them are produced using one thousand year old methods. You too can produce an innovative magic effect by using old principles. For example, the old decanter trick is used to produce a handkerchief in a transparent decanter. We can change the appearance of the trick by switching the objects used in the effect. We could use a wine bottle instead of the decanter, or a rubber water bottle or anything else. We could produce a belt instead of a handkerchief, or anything that works. You can reproduce ten thousand new effect just by substituting the props.

Sometimes a very little change made in an old magic effect can make a huge difference. The change may be even smaller than using a different container. We now compare another trick that look completely different from the decanter trick, but in fact utilizes the very same thread pulling principle.

The Spider Web Trick is also to produce something by pulling the object quickly into view just as the decanter trick. The spider web trick still uses a thread which is the most important part of the trickery. But Orrin switched a card for the handkerchief. A cool spider figure is used instead of a transparent decanter. A disc decorated to look like a spider web is used instead of a plain table.

Orrin made an important change to the trick or even the principle by changing the moving part from the appearing object to the appearing location. He produced the card by moving the spider quickly. And moreover, he turned the web and let the thread to wrap around to produce the tension to pull the card. Originally, a hiding assistant or a counterweight is used as the driving tension. The magician pulled the thread himself by turning the web disc. This excellently covered the pulling action.

I don't suppose Mr. Orrin consciously went through the various steps of deliberate substitution, working from the old decanter trick, as outlined here. But it could have been produced in that manner.

The follow steps can be gone through to produce the spider trick. Firstly, the appearing object is changed to a spectator chosen card instead of a handkerchief. Secondly, the location of appearance is completely changed to a spider figure instead of the original transparent decanter. Thirdly, the magician pulled the thread himself instead of using a helping assistant. Fourthly, the location of appearance is moved with high speed instead of the produced object. Fifthly, a camouflaged background is used to cover the thread, the path, the secret pocket and the action. This makes it a much more deceiving magic effect.

It may seem that the decanter trick and the spider web trick are completely different magic effects. But after analysis, we see that they are much related. Readers can also produce new tricks by changing some elements in an old trick. - 31406

Amazing Magic Tricks Revealed

By James Wong

Have you ever seen the magic trick which the magician magically produce a handkerchief inside a transparent decanter? By using the same principle, we can do amazing magic tricks, too. We start off by using different objects, like a picture instead of a handkerchief. You can use whatever things to do the trick, but the object would decide what you can do with it. You would also need a proper hiding place for it, too. Like a picture, it can be rolled up and hide in the edge of a photo frame.

The pulling of the thread can also be done with indirect forces instead of a simple pull. By rotating the frame, the thread would wind up and tension is built up to pull out the photo with high speed. The frame could be rotated horizontally or it can be mounted on a backing and a turntable to be rotated vertically.

And then experiments should be carried out to test various hiding and pulling method. Find a place to hide the photo so that it is invisible while standing by and pulling out. Numerous trials would be needed to ensure the successful movement of the photo or picture every time the turning is executed.

There are many different ways to pull the thread. You could spin the frame, or you could pull the thread with counterweight. One possible way is to fasten the other end of the thread to a fixture on stage. Then the magician can walk forward or away from the fixture with the frame holding in his hands. The thread will be pulled and the picture appears.

Think about what container to use. Choose one that suits the whole theme of the magic act. You could cause a rose to appear in a vase magically but fixing a vase on a turnable table and turn it quickly. The rose could be hidden in a secret pocket in the table.

The same principle has been applied to non-apparatus magic. The hands are substituted for the decanter. The space behind the vest takes the place of the pocket in the table. The thread still remains. Secured to two corners of a large flag, the thread extends across the top. The flag is folded and tucked beneath the vest, leaving the thread extending across the body. In a flash the flag is produced merely by hooking the thumbs under the thread and extending the arms forward and apart. Properly done, the flag seems to appear suddenly between the two hands. This may be used for a flash production of almost anything concealed beneath the vest, the coat or within a pocket.

With one end of the thread attached to a firm foundation, just hooking one thumb beneath it and pushing forward suddenly will make it possible to produce a silk, a flower, or some small device with which you work. - 31406

How to Do Simple Production Magic Tricks

By James Wong

Sometimes magician can produce an object by pretending the required work has been done but in fact he only does the work while audience's attention is directed away. Somewhat similar to this is loading a new object in the act of taking away that produced. A familiar repeating cigar production illustrates this perfectly.

One cigar is produced and placed in the opposite hand. But while the right is placing it in the left, the left hand is loading another, unseen, into the right. There are probably nine hundred and seventy-five thousand ways this principle of secretly loading while attention is elsewhere might be disguised, cloaked, counterfeited or otherwise camouflaged.

It is almost impossible to list every object that can be produced with this method. I recommend you to memorize the principle, do some experiments with it and try to apply it to your magic routines. The only limitation is your imagination.

The next most common way to produce an object is to use speed. The magician brings out something so fast that spectators' eyes are fooled and thinks that an object has been produced. It is said that the hand is quicker than the eye, but in fact that is impossible. Some sort of help is used to achieve high speed like that.

As hands do not give the required speed to produce such effect, some other devices are used. The common ones are the pulled string, elastic pulling device and spring pulling device. There are also other machines used to provide the required force like counterweight, electric motor, steam engine. Anything that can pull out the object with a suitable force and speed can be utilized.

The invisible thread jerks the object into view from its secret hiding place so swiftly that its flight cannot be seen. The appearing handkerchief in the decanter is a good illustration. The handkerchief is concealed within a pocket in the table. Tied to the handkerchief is a strong thread. This leads down into the neck of the bottle, through a hole in the bottom or a side, and thence offstage to an assistant. Sometimes the thread is tied to a weight which can be released suddenly. A sudden swift jerk brings the handkerchief into sight within the decanter. - 31406

Send Out Cards Review: What You Need To Know Before Joining.

By Brandon Koon

Send Out Cards Review: If you regularly find yourself wanting to let people know you are thinking of them, then Send Out Cards may be perfect for you. You can pick from many cards, customize your greeting and they will print and mail it for you. This can save you the time of having to run and find one at the store. You also avoid the possibility of forgetting to mail it. They provide services for both businesses and individuals. Your card will be printed and sent out on their very next production run.

Their reminder service can also come in handy. Use their calendar to put in the dates and they will make certain you know about every occasion that is coming up. Whenever a special card or gift may be needed, you will not have to worry about forgetting.

Along with your chosen card, they also allow you to purchase and include any one of several gift options. If you prefer not to use their reminder service, you can just log-in to your account and send a card at anytime you choose.

One issue that may turn a lot of people off from using their service is the fact that you cannot see the prices. In order to find out what the cards and service costs, you have to create an account on their site. You cannot even see the inside of the cards or specific details. If you click on them to look, you are taken to a log-in page. None of the prices are shown, in advance, anywhere. Many people are going to be leery of providing their contact information for a service they are not yet sure they are going to use. This just sets off many warnings.

I really cannot think of anyone that agrees to purchase something, without knowing the price ahead of time. Before they give a company all their personal information, certain details are a necessity. It is also almost impossible to discover how to create a personal account. There are tons of options on their site that direct you how to do it to become a distributor, but not for an individual. I looked for nearly an hour and finally was forced to surrender in defeat.

Not only do you have to provide your information, but the details on the people you want to send cards to, as well. It can be questionable as to how much you should trust a company that hides so much of their information. I value my privacy and certainly would not want my friends and family giving it out under these conditions.

There are many that may find looking through their cards easier than picking one out at a nearby store. They do provide a huge variety, which can allow you to select the perfect one in much less time. The fact that they print on-demand also means you can customize them much more than an off-the-shelf card. The ability to have it sent with the gift of your choice will also appeal to many, many people.

It is easy to see why some people may like using the Send Out Cards service and how it can save them a lot of time. But, you can also see why many people would opt-out and rather pick and mail cards on their own. They do not tell you who is printing them out and mailing them for you. - 31406

A system must be matched to individual needs. Some things to consider are whether a single card access system or multiple site access facility is needed for a large security system. The chosen system also has to take into account building types, function and size. Whichever system you opt for, fast and easy access is essential to prevent employee frustration.

Common Access Control Systems include:

Zoned andor timed access
Biometric Fingerprint Access Systems

Trespass Exclusion Technology

Dettering vandalism and theft while balancing access control requirements of a door entry sytem is an important decision.

Access control systems of the future will be linked to individual recognition technology. This will include Biometric entry, facial, and iris recognition.

Biometric systems can already be configured to recognise individuals not only from their voice patterns, but also their fingerprints and iris through local scanners. If you need a state of the art door entry system, these options are for serious consideration.

New technology is being released all the time, but one that is used in banks and with high value equipment is the use of smart water technology. This puts invisible marks on intruders, making them easily identifiable by the forensic science service. - 31406

Credit Card Debt Consolidation Loan Follow the Credit Card Debt Forgiveness Program

By Christopher Eyres

There's a commotion today not only in America shoppers but even worldwide of the tricky fiscal circumstances the folks are coming across in these current times. The best uproar is many folks can't make their both ends meet because many have got downsized and subsequently they can't pay their requirements ; therefore, they require assistance - major help.

This nonpayment of debt have ended in an harmful effect on some business sectors and one of these industries which are encountering problems of collecting payment is the Mastercard industry. One of the main reasons that many of the Mastercard holders are weighed down by their debt is due to the unreasonable rate of interest imposed by the Mastercard corporations.

Many believe the interest rate of about 222% imposed on the purchased amount by the credit card companies are considered as inhuman, immoral and unrealistic. It is quite deceiving when credit cards are offered to prospective clients because most often credit cards are delivered to your office or residences without even requesting for it. In addition it is given for free but without your knowledge it is already included in your monthly billing.

It is unlucky that there isn't any clear reason on the IR charges and other penalties and they deserve to be partially blamed on this problem. So , the reason for the issue of ballooning card debt of the clients can also be partially traceable from the card corporations who are promoting obscure Mastercard programs not disclosing its significant point.

It is reasonably comprehensible that buyers of the card firms are asking for for a relief of their debt and many of us clamoring for the govt. help. Thus , many years gone the U.S. Congress passed a bill which is named the nation's Business Stabilization and Recovery Act ( NASARA ) whose purpose is to forgive the debt of the credit card holders.

However, because of the vast influence of the some businessmen in the industry they were successful in deliberately holding its implementation and consequently the law has not been put into effect. Even without the law the credit card companies should heed this call of credit card debt forgiveness as part of their social responsibility towards their customers. Anyway they have grown to this level of becoming one of the most viable businesses and this should give due consideration on this request. - 31406

Poker Persona: Playing Poker In a Straightjacket

By Thomas Kearns

It seems that many serious players in poker, in trying perhaps to project a minimum of tells, project a kind of moody, somber, or even sinister effect, sunglasses and sun-visors sealing off unshaven faces as if they had a pair of six-shooters under the table. One wonders whether they know what exactly they are trying to gain or whether they simply underestimate the influence of appearance on their own game and on the players around them.

There must certainly be some idea lurking behind their Halloween masks. Very likely they are trying to confuse and discompose opponents by putting on an intimidating show, discouraging players from meeting their bets and challenging their banks. A kind of sulky bully persona which, I think, in many cases stems at least partly from the simple inability to create any other image of oneself. As with the actual sulky street bully type, it betokens a somewhat anxious lack of imagination. Some persons may certainly be actually comfortable with and good at precisely such impersonation. But with many there is a feeling that they hide, rather than project a well thought-out image.

You should think carefully about the image you project. The bully persona, even if done well, is probably not effective. It may work on some opponents, but mostly it works against you. It may also attract the type of opponents that you want to steer clear of - the experts. If you sit there looking like a hawk, your prey will run in the opposite direction.

It the first place, it may attract the rare professional player who is actually naturally moody and dark to an extent which may intimidate you. After a few such uncomfortable encounters you may find it difficult to get rid of these grim reapers who - with cynical glee - sense in you the weaker prey and grimly reap the rewards. Subsequent games might then grow unnecessarily complicated by your suspicions of how serious some of the sulky opponents at the table actually are.

You may be putting on that stern impassive face to make you appear like a more serious and focused professional, more concentrated than the rest of the players at the table. The problem is, though, that anyone who plays poker, whether rookie or expert, is not going to be able to hang on to an impassive demeanor. If your image is not projecting any of what is really you, it may quash your ability to be conversational and enjoy the game. And, in fact, your energy may be expended on maintaining that phony image rather than on winning at poker.

Though one is not advised to be fully natural in poker, one had better create an image which is the most natural to impersonate. A more "openly" social image may take some practice to maintain, but it will result in your greater enjoyment of the game and greater focus, since your mind will be busy doing what it more or less enjoys.

Don't even try to keep up an image that is totally at odds with who you really are. You will not reach your full potential this way, since you are locked into an uncomfortable position. Save your energy for the cards and observation of those personae around you and how they play the game.

While a costume of big shades, big hats, and big coats in a darkened poker den may appear to require less effort, for the professional player, it is better to show more of yourself. It takes less time and energy, but you just may become the poker player you always envisioned you could be. - 31406

Here's The Low Down On How To Win At Video Poker

By Dean Evert

With the way our society is structured these days, with technology becoming our new best buddy; a lot of people prefer playing games singlehandedly against a machine that used to be played around a table with many players involved and lots of personal interaction. Video poker is one of those games; many folks prefer the one on one interaction with a video machine rather than the playing table; and learning how to win at video poker has become a priority with many players.

As with any other kind of game or card game, there are rules and regulations to be followed to play the game properly, and video poker is no exception. To learn how to win at video poker, you must start with the basics and build your knowledge of the game and the quirks that lurk therein. The game of video poker is based on a deck of 52 playing cards with some forms of the game using the jokers in the play. Once the play starts, the machine deals 5 random cards to you; you decide which ones you want to keep and which you want to discard; and then the machine randomly deals replacement cards for the ones you discarded, if any. You are now paid according to the poker value of the cards you are left holding in your hand.

One of the most important parts of any poker playing strategy, especially when you are trying to learn how to win at video poker; is to learn to get over the hump of just playing one coin at a time. That will get you nowhere but broke: do like the best video poker players and consistent winners do---always bet the max allowed. A good strategy is needed if you are going to win at this game, and not only will playing the max get you there, but also learning what to do with every kind of hand you are dealt. There is a lot of reading material available out there that will tell you just how to proceed in betting depending on what you are initially dealt, and this is invaluable to the beginning player. Finally, in building a play strategy, learn how the payouts work and find a liberal pay table to play so you can make the most of what you know.

Betting the max in coins allowed makes perfect sense when you apply the old adage: the more you wager, the more you win. The win for any given hand of cards is directly proportional to the amount bet; except for one example----when the payouts are tallied on various boards around town, you will notice that learning how to win at video poker depends on how to read the boards and bet accordingly; because in the case of Royal Flushes----you may be shortchanged on your payout of getting a Royal Flush if you don't bet the max. Most boards will list the payout of such as: you will win 1000 if you bet 4 coins, but you will win 4000 if you bet 5 coins (the max). What a difference a coin makes. This little burp in the board declarations is called "An Economy of Scale".

Remember this also, that for every penny spent on the video poker machines, points are rewarded and these points can be redeemed for comps of all kinds, and free play. But, the deal is, if you don't use a player card, the casino or house has no way of knowing how much or how long you are playing and therefore no way to assign points or comps----you must use a player card to leave a play trail. And don't be fooled by the wise old fools out there that pontificate to you when you are learning how to win at video poker; because they will try to pass on incorrect info about the player cards----and that is, that if you use one, the machine will not pay out as well----WRONG. The use of a player card is strictly for tallying amount played and has no bearing on the odds or performance of the machine whatsoever.

When you are perfecting your performance as a winning video poker player and you have learned your lessons well on how to win at video poker, there is a site online that you should check out that will help you interpret the payout tables found on the various machines, and what those tables mean. The site is vpfree2.com and it has loads of info above and beyond the payout tables that you may find very useful. As you become more familiar with the world of video poker, you will begin to see the relationships of the payout tables to the play and how you can make the most of the more liberal tables; for example, the payouts vary very little except when it comes to dealing with a flush or a full house----the middle hands seem to have more variance than the others.

For a lot of fun, hours of entertainment and the possibility of winning big bucks, you can't beat poker as the world's most beloved card game; but if you want to play singlehandedly against a video machine without the psychological pressures of a live poker table, then learning how to win at video poker should be your top priority for a great time. Once you learn how to play and the strategies involved, you will be hooked and endless hours of fun await. - 31406

6 Tips For You To End Your Credit Debt Worries!

By Doc Schmyz

In order to get out of credit card debt it takes action on your part. So whether or not you are being swallowed by the sink hole of credit card debt or you are just starting out to dig yourself into credit card debt - you have to take action before it's too late in order to be come debt free.

The six tactics below can help end your credit debt...if you use them.

1. Stop using your cards - By using your credit cards you are paying additional interest on the credit card balance you owe on which you've already been charged interest. Unless you pay the new charges when you are billed you are accumulating additional interest on both present and past charges. (Don't you love credit companies...and yes this is legal for them to do.)

2. Figure out how much credit card debt is costing you. You can find out how much credit card debt is costing you by seeing how much interest rate you have to pay. This is done by reading the fine print on your latest credit card statement. If you do not understand then you call your credit card company and have them explain it to you. (By law they have to explain it to you.)

3. Lower that interest rate!!!! Lowering your interest rate is the most effective and easiest way to get your credit card debt problem under control. You can lower the interest rate you are paying by transferring high interest rate amount balances to lower or no interest credit cards.

4. Call your credit card companies and tell them to lower your interest rates. Since you already know the interest rates it is time for you to ask your banks and credit card companies to lower the interest rates. You should call them and ask to speak with a supervisor. The supervisor has the authority to give you a lower interest rate.

This is what you tell them: The rates are too high and you want it lowered. And also let them know that if they are not willing to lower your interest rate you are considering to close your account and transfer all your credit card balances to the company that is willing to give you the lowest interest rate. (since they don't want to loose the future profits from you they may lower your rate in order to keep your business.)

5. Consolidate your credit card debts - transferring all credit card balances to one credit card - is an effective way of getting out of credit card debts. So when negotiating to get a lower interest rate you should let it be known that your ultimate goal is to get out of credit card debt at the lowest possible cost and not credit card shuffling.

6. Cut your savings in half. It would be foolish to be paying high interest rates while continuing to save the usual amount, if you are indeed saving. If you are already so deep in debt that no one company is willing to loan you the money to consolidate your credit card debts then you would have to resort to this tactics.

It works like this. Get all your credit card balances. Divide each balance by the minimum amount you are required to pay each month. This tells you how long it would take to pay off each balance. Start by paying off the one that takes the least amount of time (half your savings + minimum payment). Continue making minimum payments on the rest. When that least payment is finished you would pay the next least payment and so on. You would continue using this tactics until you are no longer in debt.

If you follow the above tips and tactics you should be on your way to getting out credit card debts in very short order. - 31406

Relying On A Birthday Reminder

By Harold Anderson

If you are one of those people who have a certain blind spot when it comes to remembering important or special dates, like birthdays and anniversaries and the like, then you may have made some people very upset over the years. All they needed was a little happy birthday card, but all you needed was a birthday reminder.

There are a lot of little tricks that people have used over the years to try and remember all those occasions. Whether they are scribbling notes on a calendar or leaving post-it notes around the house, none of them really seem to help. Even having other people remind them daily doesn't seem to do it.

These are traditional birthday reminders and people have been trying to make them work for years. However, in a world with all kinds of great new technology, we should be able to devise a more reliable and sure way to remind us it's time to go searching for a happy birthday card.

These days there are a range of online services that provide a means to receive birthday reminders. Since we already habitually check our email and visit websites, these services are a great way to integrate those birthday reminders into our daily routines. Then we might actually pay attention to them.

These online systems will send out birthday reminders through email, by phone, or through RSS feeds. We have developed a routine that involves checking these things every day, so if the reminders are slipped into the middle of it, we'll see it and have the time to give the occasion a little more thought. If there is enough time you may even be able to do more than just send a happy birthday card.

There is a lot more convenience here than with traditional reminders. For example, if you set up specific intervals on your reminders you will be able to receive them on a regular basis until the event occurs. This will give you more time to plan and prepare and make sure things go just right.

If you want, you can even set up a calendar system on a website and invite your friends to go and put their own birthdays on there for you. Then you don't have to go through the trouble of asking people about their birthdays and admitting that you don't know when they are in the first place.

If you can keep track of and organize your birthday reminders, you won't ever have to be "that guy." You won't have to be the one that has to be told time and time again that they better go out and buy a happy birthday card. Instead, you'll be "that guy" who can be counted on for special occasions. - 31406
