The 2012 WSOP $1M buy-in event is basically the Ashley Ann Vickers of poker tournaments.


We’re all about big buy-in, high stakes tournaments with ridiculous prize pools. It’s why we liked the ONYX Cup so much. These types of events are like girls with ridiculously huge boobs: they’re eye-popping and you can’t take your eyes off of them.

So naturally, we love the $1M buy-in event announcement yesterday for the 2012 WSOP.

The event will take place July 1st, 2012 and will benefit the ONE DROP charity. So far, 15 people have committed, including:

Guy Laliberté, Bobby Baldwin, Treasure Island owner Phil Ruffin, Patrik Antonius, Gus Hansen, Daniel Negreanu, Johnny Chan, Tom Dwan and Tony Guoga, and Andy Beal.

Johnny Chan? Has a million dollars?

A total ofSUCKINGHOBBITDICKS11.1% of the buy-in will be donated to ONE DROP, leaving math math math $889,889 for the prize pool. A total of 20% of the entrants will get paid, so if 20 players enter, 4 cash.

We spoke with WSOP VP Ty Stewart after the announcement, who mentioned that if they can secure just 12 more players (27 total), the event will exceed the record score Jamie Gold nabbed at the 2006 WSOP Main Event.

Most families spend a lot of time in the living room (hey, it's not called the living room for nothing). Why not give your space a boost with a few small changes that make a huge difference.

Share Tweet

If you have time and a few friends on hand to help, painting can add just the dramatic effect you need to change the vibe of your living room. Choose a bright color to liven up the room, or create one accent wall to mix things up. Have a small space? Try hanging a few mirrors to give the appearance of a larger room. The mirrors will reflect light and open up dark corners. Set them opposite a window to bounce light across the room.

If your lampshades are looking a little dusty, try a few of these groovy and affordable floor lamps from Walmart, Target or Ikea. You can also get fancy and hire a professional to install track lighting. Why not?


And finally, re-purposing old furniture can mimic the effect of new furniture at a fraction of the cost. Wipe down the old couch or remove the plastic and try out new slipcovers. Swap tattered seat cushions on old chairs with bright new fabrics and with just a few changes you'll see a big improvement in your living room. You may never leave the coach.

Found Kittens
Kathryn says: I am fostering these kittens and looking for homes for them. Right now the kittens are still with mom and will be until mid to late June. The calico is Marilyn (named for Marilyn Monroe, because of her beauty mark), the lighter-faced orange-buff one is Butterscotch and the darker orange one is Marmalade, and the little grey kitten we are just calling Little Grey. Their adopters will probably give them other names, but we're just calling them that for now. The mother cat was found living outdoors in my neighborhood. I live near a wooded area where there seem to be quite a few feral cats. Miri, the mother, is clearly not feral, so I think she may have been dumped. My neighbors were feeding her and noticed that she was pregnant. They said she had another litter -- outdoors -- but all the kittens died. They were not able to take her in. I asked them if they could catch her, and they did. She was really thin and VERY pregnant.

I started calling around to various shelters and rescue groups. Before I was able to find a placement for her, she gave birth to four adorable kittens under the bed.

Mom has been vet checked and is healthy and FIV/FLV negative. She's going back for a follow-up visit with her kits next week so we can get their first shots and check the sexes. I think we have two girls and two boys, but I'm not positive.

From PureWow.com:

While there's much to love about the warm weather, we hate how the humidity inflates our frizz-prone strands to epic proportions. Luckily, we have a secret weapon this summer (and no, it's not a hat): Ricky's new No-Frizz hairbrushes, which have turned the bad-hair-day theory on its head.

Smoothing olive oil is baked directly into the bristles, then deposited into strands every time you brush your hair. The result: silky locks without the greasy residue. Best of all, you don't need to pile on extra products (which typically weigh hair down) to keep your mane under control--just run the brush through wet or dry locks for touch-ups.

The No-Frizz brushes, which retain their oil-diffusing properties for roughly a year, come in two versions that we put to the test on a steamy weekend. The flat paddle ($15) delivered a super-straight blowout, while the rounded barrel ($15) gave us glossy waves.
