Poker as a Psychotherapy
August 14, 2008, 2:16 pm
So you sleep through the alarm clock and then try to rush out the door meanwhile managing to get in a fight with your significant other. When you finally make it outside, the neighbor’s dog is doing its business right on the side of your car, and while you try to shoo it away your morning cup of coffee spills everywhere. We’ve all been there, one of those mornings when nothing seems to be going your way. When you get home at the end of the day there seems to be little that you want to do besides mope around, feeling sorry for yourself.
Well, let me suggest something new to try. How about a game of online poker – I promise you, it will work like therapy. You will become so engrossed with the game, all the unlucky events of you day will be forgotten. Also, what can be more convenient than playing right at home? You can sit in your favorite chair, munch on your favorite snack and listen to your favorite music- you get my gist. The more involved you get in the game, the faster you will let go of all your frustrations. Online poker is fun, exciting, and best of all it’s like having a free therapy session in the comfort of your own home!

Coming to a Car Dealer Near You!
August 14, 2008, 5:08 amThe 2006 cars are fresh in dealer showrooms and already talk is raging about several upcoming cars set for release in model year 2007 or later. The styles are great, the engineering is advanced, and you simply haven’t seen anything yet. Let’s take a peak at what is coming down the pike. One of these future cars just may be what you end up driving!
Hyundai Equus – Can you say, V8 Hyundai? That’s right, the Equus which is already sold in Korea, may make its debut here in North America as a 2008 model. Reports have it that the car, which is larger than the Sonata, will be a rear wheel drive four door sedan outfitted with wood, leather, and all the latest electronic gadgetry.
Saturn Outlook – Things are certainly changing for Saturn, now that GM has killed off the Oldsmobile division. Still trying to find its footing amongst Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, and Cadillac, the division will get its first big crossover vehicle when the 8 passenger Outlook debuts as a 2007 model. Look for V6 power standard with the first Saturn equipped V8 as an option.
Ford Edge – If a Ford model starts with an “E” it likely is an SUV. The Edge is an SUV and it isn’t an SUV. More of a crossover vehicle, the 2007 Edge will be based on the Ford Fusion which borrows its platform from the Mazda 6. Positioned between the Escape and the Explorer, the Edge is meant to be Ford’s answer to other car based people movers including the Honda Pilot and the Toyota Highlander.
Volvo C30 – Can you say, subcompact Volvo? Yes, it is true: Volvo will be introducing the C30, a three door hatchback coupe. Some eight inches shorter than the compact S40, the car will run on a small inline four and it may be the first Volvo to have an optional hybrid engine. The C30 is to debut as a 2007 model.
Chevrolet Sport Wagon – GM’s purchase of Daewoo is having some positive side effects in the development of the 2008 Sport Wagon. A joint Daewoo-Chevrolet venture, this five seat model will be a crossover vehicle and share some components with Chevy’s larger Equinox. Planned as a world car, the Sport Wagon is likely to wear Daewoo, Chevrolet, Suzuki, and Opel nameplates.
Are you excited yet? If not, there are hundreds of additional models on the drawing boards and concept cars on display at an auto show near you. Hang on, change is in the air and you haven’t seen anything yet!
