Jaded Players of Bridge, Texas Holdem, and Canasta Turn to Hollywood Screenwriter Instead of Reaching for their Wii

Hollywood, CA (PRWEB) September 2, 2007

Mark Moran teaches card players how to hold fast to their lifelong fascination with traditional card games especially when their passions seem burnt out and society on the verge of writing off traditional, four-suited card play in favor of electronic games, with the publication of 52,000 Hands Later. Appropriately, Moran is a screenwriter at Breadwin Productions (http://www.breadwinproductions.com), Hollywood’s first shingle whose edgy movies sharpen their edges not through Hollywood’s own familiar practice of sniping at tradition but rather from the reverse: through all the best of what’s to be found in traditions wherever they exist.

52,000 Hands Later is a step-by-step guide to helping card players learn either of two intriguing, entirely novel card games, one the easier to master and the other the more difficult, and through learning them rekindle their passion for card games. The two card games were inspired by an earlier card game (called Porcio) introduced in a recent issue of nationally syndicated Games magazine. The book includes detailed rules, ideas about strategy, and comparisons to its famous “elder cousin” card game, Contract Bridge.

Mark Moran wrote 52,000 Hands Later to help himself and others whose lifelong love affairs with the 52 cards in a conventional deck seemed at an end. He immersed himself in the book, between script writing projects, after Breadwin Productions colleagues realized the synergism between a card game tradition worthy of promotion and the film production shingle’s ongoing efforts to edify tradition on celluloid and video. 52,000 Hands Later is available for purchase at Amazon.com, Booksamillion, Lulu.com and other book merchants online and off.

“Actors have been playing Gin Rummy for countless years. Gamblers have been playing Poker for ages. It took years to outgrow the shock that a form of game around for more than 500 years, on numerous continents worldwide, in almost every language, was verging on extinction. But it has only taken me a few months to recover from the more recent, and happier, shock to find out that the extinction of card games, unlike what happened to the dinosaurs, is only an urban myth,” said Mark Moran. “The sports TV networks, taking advantage of the new technology to reveal the private niche of a card player’s hand, are in fact capitalizing on a resurgence of interest in people sitting down not with patented Yugio cards but with traditional Kings and Queens, hearts and spades, diamonds and clubs, around a good, old-fashioned card table. Now is hardly the time to abandon your dog-eared deck of playing cards: now is the time, rather, to learn something with the potential to be to the 21st century what Contract Bridge was to the 20th century.”

The Sycuan Casino Powers Growth for a Sovereign Indian Nation

Sycuan Casino

(PRWEB) November 10, 2011

“Above all else, Sycuan is a people,” says Daniel J. Tucker. “Incredibly, our ancestors have lived in the San Diego area for nearly 12,000 years. We proudly pass down many time-honored traditions to keep our heritage and customs alive.” Tucker is chairman of The Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation and its 130 tribal members. They live in the scenic Dehesa Valley near San Diego.

A Native American Indian tribe, the Sycuan defines its identity as an independent, sovereign nation. It has a democratically elected government. The Sycuan people abide by tribal laws as well as state and federal laws. The Sycuan also diversify as a business enterprise to ensure growth. “To date, the Sycuan Casino has been our most noteworthy economic success,” Tucker allows.

Sycuan times 20,000 uniforms purchase to $ 28M renovation

“The Sycuan Band was very savvy with their uniform investment strategy,” says Vanessa Barbarin, purchasing manager at Sycuan Casino. “The property is entering a $ 28 million renovation. Designer uniforms for its entire team will be an important part of the casino’s new image. By timing the new uniform purchase with the total casino renovation, guests will see a fresh image the moment they walk in the lobby.”

Sycuan just-in-time policy maintains no more than $ 170K in uniforms inventory

“Due to the efficiency and accuracy of the RFID inventory tracking system we installed from InvoTech, we are able to maintain a just-in-time reorder process. We also ensure top service to our team members,” Barbarin continues. “The system lifts the property’s asset control to a new level. Benefits realized in efficiency, productivity, and accuracy make Sycuan Casino more profitable.”

One supervisor and 3 wardrobe attendants process uniforms for 1,694 people

Barbarin explains, “The department processes uniforms for more than 1,600 people. That includes everyone from food servers to table games dealers. Soon, we will handle the uniforms for the back of the house teams such as, chefs, cooks, and others. And we do that with 1 supervisor and 3 wardrobe attendants. We use technology, not manual labor, to manage our operation. This saves money for our company.”

Sycuan’s productive staff processes thousands of items in minutes with no data entry

InvoTech’s GIMS™ uniform tracking system uses ultra-high frequency readers to scan and record information from RFID tags sewn into the new uniforms by our supplier,” says Barbarin. “The technology enables our wardrobe team to scan hundreds of uniform items at one time without hand sorting. We do not even enter data into a computer. A light flashes to confirm the uniforms were processed into the GIMS system. The savings in time and lost items goes directly to the property’s bottom line.”

About Sycuan Casino

Sycuan Casino, open 24 hours every day of the year with 2000 slot machines, 43 gaming tables, poker, bingo, live shows and multiple dining options, is operated by The Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation. Located 30 minutes east of downtown San Diego in the scenic Dehesa Valley, Sycuan Casino’s mission is to refine the casino guest experience through unparalleled service of the highest integrity in a friendly and entertaining environment. Dining venues include an all-you-can-eat Paipa’s Buffet, Wachena Restaurant, Sunset Deli, Bingo Snack Bar, and the new GameDay Sports Bar & Grill.

Hollywood, Fla. (PRWEB) January 20, 2010

34,480. That’s the number of bottles of water donated by the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino that will begin arriving at Port-au-Prince, Haiti today aboard a special American Airlines Boeing 737 from Miami.

The Seminole Hard Rock donated 20 pallets of bottled water, with 1,724 bottles per pallet — a grand total of 34,480 bottles of water, each 16.9 oz. and each with a “Hard Rock” label. The bottled water will be distributed in Haiti by Food for the Poor, the Coconut Creek, Fla.-based organization with a long history of on-the-ground public service in Haiti.

Celebrities Use New Non-Invasive Treatment To Erase Unsightly Leg Veins Before Hitting the Red Carpet; Sclerotherapy The Latest Hollywood Beauty Quick Fix

New York, NY (PRWEB) August 25, 2008

Before celebs hit the Red Carpet at the 60th Primetime Emmys Awards on September 21, many will race to erase the unsightly veins that mar their glamorous gams using the latest non-invasive techniques such as, Sclerotherapy, or injection therapy.

Sclerotherapy consists of injecting a mild chemical solution into the problem vein. This agent causes the vein to collapse, allowing the body to absorb the vein. Blood is then re-routed to a healthy vein, restoring proper circulation in the area.

“Sclerotherapy is the most effective treatment for erasing unsightly spider and varicose veins with little or no downtime, so you can be Red Carpet ready in a few days,” said Luis Navarro, M.D., FACS, FACPh, founder and medical director of the Vein Treatment Center in New York City, and the foremost authority on the surgical and medical treatment of venous problems.

One Sclerotherapy treatment involves multiple injections. According to Navarro, patients describe the injections as a pinprick or a mosquito bite and the number of treatment sessions vary depending on the number of veins treated, healing time, and the level of desired cosmetic results.

After the injections, the leg is wrapped with an elastic bandage for several hours to keep the vein closed. Normal activities can begin immediately after treatment, although compression stockings may be required for the 1-3 days, when treating large veins.

At times, injection therapy is combined with Transillumination to locate and treat a deeper source for your varicose and spider veins. By passing a high-intensity light through the skin’s surface, the physician is able to view and eliminate deep problem veins.

Another option is Foam Sclerotherapy, a method of Sclerotherapy which delivers the sclerosing agent in a foam solution. This foam displaces blood within the vein, allowing the vein wall to absorb the full strength of the sclerosing agent without any dilution. Also, the foam is detectible with ultrasound imaging and can be easily tracked and guided to the source of the venous problem.

In treating small spider veins and broken capillaries, a glycerin-based sclerosing agent can be prescribed that only irritates the inner lining of vein vessels, leading to little or no redness or bruising in patients.

Another alternative is Duplex Ultrasound which minimizes the need for invasive treatments by allowing doctors to guide a needle to the exact location of the vein to be injected. Although this treatment is widely used, Dr. Navarro prefers to use a catheter instead (Transcatheter Image-Guided Occlusion Sclerotherapy, or TIGOS). Using color duplex ultrasound to guide the catheter to the incompetent vein valve, TIGOS is safer and more effective in the treatment of large veins in difficult areas, such as the groin or knee.

Among the latest treatments Dr. Navarro uses in addition to Sclerotherapy, are Endolaser (EVLA- Endovenous Laser Ablation), mini-phlebectomy, and ambulatory surgery. The Vein Treatment Center’s Combined TherapiesTM approach which combines several treatments, such as the patented Endolaser alternative to surgery with other techniques is recognized for the optimum results in correcting venous disorders.

Luis Navarro, M.D., FACS, FACPh, established The Vein Treatment Center in 1982 for the exclusive treatment of varicose veins and spider veins. Dr. Navarro is founder and medical director of the Vein Treatment Center in New York. As the country’s foremost authority on issues of vein health, he revolutionized the field with the invention of the Endolaser http://endolaser.com. Dr. Navarro has appeared on NBC-TV, The View and in the pages of Good Housekeeping, Newsweek, Vogue and First for Women. For more information on Dr. Navarro and the treatment of venous disorders, please visit http://www.veintreatmentcenter.com.
