Fathers Day is just around the corner, and if you’re looking for that unique gift for the dad who has everything, consider a custom poker gift. There are a lot of cookie cutter poker products on the market, but if your father is anything like mine, he already has every thing commercially available. Here are some unique, one of a kind ideas for the poker loving dad who has everything.
There are a multitude of poker chip cases and trays on the market, from inexpensive plastic trays to outrageously expensive sets. If your dad has clay poker chips or more expensive collectible chips, you may want to consider ordering a custom, handcrafted wooden case. Several artisans will make the chip case to your specifications and allow you to choose from a variety of exotic hard woods and detailed inlay options. When ordering a wooden chip case or trays, you should specify that the finish be chip friendly, and be certain that his poker chips are appropriately sized for the chip case. Generally speaking, the majority of chips are of the 39mm size, however large denomination chips, as well as chips based on the Paulson Inverted Hat and Cane mold, are of the larger, 43mm size, and will most likely need special chip trays and cases. Not only can your dad organize those stacks of poker chips lying around, but also add a touch of class to his home poker gaming experience.
2. Tailor-made poker chip sets imprinted with dads personalized homecasino logo.
There are a number of vendors who can create personalized poker chips with your design on them. You can supply your own logo or artwork to be hot-stamped on the poker chips quickly and inexpensively. There are numerous chip customizations available, including Initials (up to 3 letters or numbers in several fonts), Chip Denominations (standard chip denominations ranging from 5¢ to $10,000), and Custom designs (company logos, family crests, names, dates, cartoon characters or miscellaneous graphics) to name a few.
3. Personalized barware engraved with dads name or casino logo.
Custom glassware such as personalized shot glasses, wine, martini, whiskey rocks glasses, hi- ball glasses, pint pub glasses, beermugs & other personalized glassware can be printed with your logo or design.
4. Personalized Playing Cards with dads casino logo.
You can have personalized playing cards with the design and copy of your choice from a huge number of vendors at a relatively inexpensive price. Use an image from the vendors template gallery or send your own art. Custom playing cards can be made to your specific needs, whatever the occasion, theme, or event.
If your dad is a real poker aficionado, and is into hosting his own home games, you may want to have a custom poker table or table topper built. There are several vendors who will build a custom game table to your specifications. You can select from a variety of fabric colors, table designs, and metal or wood finishes, and tray insert designs.
Whatever custom poker gift you choose, be sure to give yourself enough time to have your gift created and delivered in time for father’s Day. Custom poker chips can take anywhere from 2 to 3 weeks to complete, and custom chip cases and poker tables may take several weeks or longer depending on the design specifications.

Backyard Airsoft Target Practice with JG G3 SG1 Rifle
Im currently moving my autographed basketball and football collection from individual cases to a big display case. I cant seem to find anything to set the balls on to keep them from rolling around. I have seen people use shot glasses, but they are a bit too tall fro my liking. Anyone have any suggestions?
This is how i display my autographed balls.
1 for footballs, use the thing they set the ball on for kickoffs, it works well, if u use the tee, try to get the teams logo or mascot on it,
2 for basketballs, use foam squares, you can wrap them with the teams material, or color both work.
3 go on ebay or some trophy store, and buy stands made for that kind of thing,
I bought stands for mine, and some i used the other things for.
Good luck and i hope i helped
vent: WWE Monday Night RAW Airdate: Monday, January 24th, 2011 (USA Network) Location: The Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, MI. Results by WrestleSite.com
“Yes, sir, we promised you a great main event…”
The RAW opening video rolls and HERE WE GO! Edge vs. Miz in a champion vs. champion match.
Melina challenges for the Divas Title tonight.
Here’s Edge to open the show. He says to Miz that he doesn’t have a lot of patience and doesn’t want to wait. After listing off things he doesn’t like to wait for he says let’s do it now Miz. An E-Mail cuts him off though and the GM doesn’t like Edge still. Thankfully they’ve gotten what looks like an e-mail on the screen now. We’re going to have a mini Rumble right now and whichever of the three can throw Edge over gets #40.
Edge vs. Tyson Kidd/Drew McIntyre/Jack Swagger
They all come and are in at once. Edge takes them all down and eliminates Kidd. Drew kicks him HARD in the head and almost gets him out. Swagger makes the save as he wants the final spot but charges at the champion and goes flying out also. Edge throws Drew out without much effort to win at 1:14. No rating of course and I’m not even going to call it a real match of course.
Edge b. Jack Swagger/Drew McIntyre/Tyson Kidd @ 1:14 – Edge eliminated McIntyre to win
Post match Edge says he’s going to get ready for Miz but first of all he wants to relive something that he did the last time he was on Raw. Does anyone want to see a smashed computer? Edge goes out to the computer but Cole stands in his way. Edge is going after him but here’s Nexus instead. Five guys this time, including the new guy.
Post match Edge says he’s going to get ready for Miz but first of all he wants to relive something that he did the last time he was on Raw. Does anyone want to see a smashed computer? Edge goes out to the computer but Cole stands in his way. Edge is going after him but here’s Nexus instead. Five guys this time, including the new guy.
Punk says that in this world only the strong survive and they do that by evolving. He talks about the Rumble being bigger and to survive, the New Nexus had to evolve as well. Punk introduces the new man, and his name is indeed Mason Ryan as we all knew coming in. At least it’s official now. Ryan says faith. That’s the only thing he says. Everyone is in Nexus because of faith according to Punk.
He talks about Corre (yes I know it’s the wrong spelling and I don’t care) and how Nexus has more faith than they do. He will win on Sunday and Nexus will become the most powerful group the WWE Universe will ever see. Could that mean a new addition? As he stops talking, cue the Corre (I hate myself at times).
Barrett says he’s looking at the poor man’s version of Nexus. Jackson says Corre will try to win the Rumble for themselves but will eliminate Punk. Ryan gets in his face and we have an e-mail. The GM makes Barrett vs. Punk. The loser’s entire group is out of the Rumble. The guest referee is Cena. King says it’s a match you never thought you would see on Raw. Why wouldn’t you expect to see that on Raw? Anyway that takes us to our first break.
Back and we get a clip of the mini Rumble from last week with Henry clearing the ring.
John Morrison/Mark Henry vs. Sheamus/Alberto Del Rio
Alberto and Morrison start us off. Cole is ripping into Jerry over him lasting 4 seconds in the 97 Rumble. Alberto controls early and brings Sheamus in after a few seconds. Morrison fights back fairly well against the Human Jar of Mayonnaise. Off to Alberto again and Morrison may want to consider a tag. He’s fought off Del Rio but won’t tag.
Morrison sets up for Starship pain but Sheamus pulls him to the floor as we take a break.
Back with Del Rio holding Morrison in a chinlock. Sheamus interfered during the break to give his team the advantage. Off to Sheamus again and we see that Michael Tarver is watching on. He looks a bit slimmer but that could be due to being in a suit. Sheamus continues to hammer away and locks in that highly modified crossface chickenwing that he’s been using recently.
A tilt-a-whirl backbreaker gets two. Brogue Kick misses and Morrison gets an enziguri to take down Sheamus. Henry finally is tagged in after 9 minutes. He runs over Del Rio a few times and gets a standing splash for two. He and Sheamus face off but get Sheamus gets taken down by the Flash Kick. Morrison dives out onto Sheamus and may have tweaked his knee on the landing. In the ring the cross armbreaker ends Henry at 10:07.
Alberto Del Rio/Sheamus b. Mark Henry/John Morrison – Cross armbreaker to Henry
Rating: C-. I wasn’t feeling this match for some reason. It’s not terrible but Henry not coming in until the very end hurt it a bit. Morrison seemed like he was sleepwalking through this and it didn’t work that well for the most part. It’s an ok match but it never really got going for me.
Divas Title: Melina vs. Natalya
Melina is shrieking early and knocks Natalya to the floor very early. Natalya is in trouble and Melina locks on a Full Nelson using her legs while sitting on the mat. That’s a new one on me for sure. Natalya stands up and rams Melina in the corner and fires off some forearms.
She pulls back for a big right hand but Melina drills her to take her down. Melina tries a leg lock but Natalya grabs the legs and pulls into a Sharpshooter, wrenching back on it so hard that she’s laying on her back. There’s the easy submission at 2:45. Too short to grade but that submission was great.
Natalya b. Melina @ 2:45 – Sharpshooer
Post match here’s Laycool. They say that this Sunday Natalya is losing some weight in the form of the title. They don’t say which it is but apparently one or both is getting a shot.
Back and we recap last week’s main event with Punk winning by DQ due to Ryan kicking him in the face. There’s a religious sounding song in the background as Punk narrates about loyalty and faith.
Nexus is worrying about how Punk could cost them their spots in the Rumble. Punk and Ryan come up and Punk talks about making a sacrifice to beat Cena. He says that Sunday they will all sacrifice their spots so that Punk can win. Harris isn’t looking happy about that. He says there are 40 people this year and what if Punk is already gone when they get there? Ryan says Punk won’t be eliminated.
Punk says take care of the Corre tonight but McGillicutty says what about Cena? Punk says he’ll win because Barrett was Cena’s main enemy, not Punk. The leader has them take a knee and raise their fists, drawing great heat from the crowd.
Matthews is with Cena who says he’s always done the right thing and he’ll do that tonight. If Punk wins he’ll eliminate every member of the New Nexus. If Barrett wins he has to deal with the Corre, which has an extra R. He found out what it stands for earlier today but gets cut off by Miz and Riley. Apparently it stands for rectum.
Miz says everyone needs to realize that winning the Rumble could be the worst thing possible as it means they could face him. Cena stares him down and says Miz might lose at the Rumble and lose his rematch and not make it to Wrestlemania. Cena leaves and Miz gets rid of Matthews. Miz asks the audience if they think he’ll win the Rumble. He asks Riley if it’s ready and Riley says roll the footage. We get a clip of the beatdown of Orton from last week and Cole is very happy with it.
The Miz vs. Edge
As we’re about ready to go here’s Dolph. Can we get to some wrestling already? Ziggler and Vickie join us on commentary and we finally get the bell. Edge has taped ribs due to the Corre attack on Friday. After a brief feeling out process Edge takes over with some basic stuff. Later on we’ll get an update on Teddy Long. Miz fires back but no one has had a long advantage yet.
Edge gets a clothesline to take Miz to the floor and we take a break.
Back with Edge getting a cover over what looked like a backdrop. Jerry: “Vickie I’m glad you could be here. I thought you’d be at the birth of your next boyfriend.” King gets a good line in every now and then like there. Miz takes over but lowers his head and gets caught in a spinning neckbreaker. Edge wants the spear but Miz hits the floor.
Miz goes for the ribs but can’t send Edge into the railing as the Canadian reverses. Back in and Miz can’t get a superplex. Edge knocks him off and gets a top rope cross body for two. Jerry gets in an argument with Vickie and Dolph over glasses and pants or something like that. Miz drapes Edge over the top rope as we take another break.
Back with Miz getting a two off an unseen move. Some right hands get another two. Miz has a body scissors on Edge as Cole goes on and on about how great Miz is, listing off various people he’s a combination of: Sammartino, Thesz, Michaels, just to name a few. Edge fights up and gets his half nelson face crusher for two. Miz’s corner clothesline misses and Edge gets two.
Riley grabs the leg of Edge and Edge goes after him. Nothing comes of that but Miz gets a small package on Edge when he comes back in for two. Edge hits the ropes and misses a clothesline but Edge takes out Riley with a baseball slide. Edgecution puts Miz down and Edge wants the spear. And never mind as Ziggler trips him for the DQ at 16:40.
Edge b. The Miz via DQ when Alex Riley interfered
Rating:B-. Good match here and it got a lot of time. The double commercial kind of hurt it as it made it feel a bit disjointed. They started to crank it up at the end, but the most important thing here is that Miz looked pretty strong. No one winning definitively is a good thing for sure. Not a great match but not bat at all.
Post match Ziggler hits the Zig Zag but here comes Orton for the save. The crowd wakes way up for his appearance. RKO to Riley and RKO to Ziggler, but Miz gets a shot in and leaves with the title as we take a break.
Back with Barrett saying that he always talked about how Nexus was about the bigger picture. However he lost sight of that and only cared about the title and humiliating Cena. We pan out to see everyone else but Barrett repeated that there are no leaders here. Matthews asks about the attack on Long but Barrett again denies it. He respects Cena and hopes that can be mutual someday.
Daniel Bryan/Bella Twins vs. Ted DiBiase/Alicia Fox/Maryse
The genitaila have to match here. The guys start and it’s off to a Bella and Maryse very soon. The other Bella hits on Daniel and Maryse gets a rollup with ease to end it at 57 seconds. No rating of course. Alicia I beg of you: straighten your hair again.
Maryse/Ted DiBiase/Alicia Fox b. Daniel Bryan/Bella Twins – Rollup to Nikki Bella
The genitaila have to match here. The guys start and it’s off to a Bella and Maryse very soon. The other Bella hits on Daniel and Maryse gets a rollup with ease to end it at 57 seconds. No rating of course. Alicia I beg of you: straighten your hair again.
Maryse/Ted DiBiase/Alicia Fox b. Daniel Bryan/Bella Twins @ 57 seconds – Rollup to Nikki Bella
Back and the Bellas are arguing about Bryan. Tarver is staring at them and then disappears. That was….odd. They go into Bryan’s locker room and find him making out with Gail Kim who is apparently his girlfriend who he’s been dating for SIX MONTHS??? And yes he was in fact a vegan. Gail says he was hanging with the Bellas because he felt sorry for them since there were no more guest stars and they had nothing to do. They call Gail a nothing and a brawl breaks out. This was surprisingly hilarious.
Here’s Nexus and the tag titles are on the line next.
Miz/Ziggler vs. Rated RKO on Friday.
Michael McGillicutty/Husky Harris vs. Santino Marella/Vladimir Kozlov
Cole corrects himself as this is not a title match. McGillicutty and Kozlov to start. Off to Santino and he loses the advantage for his team. Harris beats him up for a good while as the Canaditalian is in trouble. He needs a tag but Harris takes Vlad down before it can be made. Santino wakes up and fights Harris off on his own. Time for the Cobra but he walks into a clothesline from Husky. Downward Spiral ends it at 3:52.
Michael McGillicutty/Husky Harris b. Santino Marella/Vladimir Kozlov @ 3:52 – Downward Spiral to Marella
Rating:D+. Nothing special at all here and I’m not entirely sure if I’d have gone with a glorified squash of the champions. It was a TV match with nothing going on at all for the most part. pretty clear that it’s just a way to set up another Nexus title run which they could use I guess. Yeah that’s it.
Otunga says let’s hear it for the winners and introduces Punk.
Cena is coming and we go to a break.
Wade Barrett vs. CM Punk
Cena is referee and the winner’s group gets to stay in the Rumble. Before the match, Cena throws Nexus out. Hey Corre, you’re out too. Cole gets on Cena for abusing his power with those ejections. Ah there’s the bell but Cena shoves Punk down almost immediately. Punk comes up with a fist but Cena points out the referee. There’s a slap to Barrett from Punk and again with the shirt.
Punk jumps Barrett and we’re finally on. Barrett is thrown to the floor and Punk jaws at Cena, saying that’s him on Sunday. Naturally Cena throws Punk over the top. Punk charges back in but won’t hit him because it would mean he’s out of the Rumble. Barrett jumps him from behind, but Cena hits the floor to sign some autographs instead of counting a pin.
Back in the ring and it’s…a bell? It’s a double DQ for use of excessive profanity on a PG show at 2:00. Both teams are out of the Rumble! Cena starts to leave but it’s an E-Mail. The teams are back in, but if Cena doesn’t apologize to both guys then he’s out.
Wade Barrett vs. CM Punk went to a Double DQ @ 2:00 when they both used too much profanity
Cena apologizes but drills them both. The rest of the teams run in and Cena hits the floor. The locker room empties and it’s the annual pre-Rumble big brawl to end the show.

Wholesale glowsticks are available in a wide different colours
There are many themes you can give to parties. Sometimes it’s to mark a particular festival, for instance Christmas or the Mexican Day of the Dead. But occasions such as birthdays are not so specific, meaning that if you want a themed party then you have a huge range of ideas to choose from.
One suggestion could be a glow-themed event. This means glow sticks, glowing accessories and decorations and even glowing clothes for guests who really want to get involved. For those on a tight budget, there are now many stores online who can offer you both retail and wholesale purchase, meaning that you can bulk buy the materials cheaply and quickly for your event.
Wholesale glowsticks are available in a wide spectrum of different colours and sizes, from red, green, pink and yellow to purple orange blue and white. Wholesale glow sticks are often sold both individually in bulk packs. Generally speaking, wholesale glowsticks bought in bulk are best if you are planning a special event, as individually sold glow sticks can cause a lot of unnecessary waste packaging and having to fiddle with single packets of glowsticks. On the other hand individually sold wholesale glow sticks can be a good choice for vendors who wish to buy their products wholesale in bulk and sell them onto customers. Glow sticks are usually packed at 50 to 100 pieces per bag.
One of the plus points about buying glow sticks wholesale is that the prices are comparatively low to when they are sold on the high street; however this does not always mean that they will be good value. By zeroing in on a temptingly low price, it is possible to lose sight of the possibility that quality could be an issue, presenting you with problems such as glow necklaces which fade after only a few hours. This can be the result of one of two issues; either the product has not been manufactured properly, or the shelf life of the product sold is limited (On average, glow sticks have a shelf life of about two years). Delivery time is another essential aspect which should be taken into account. An online retailer should be able to deliver any products you need for your event such as glow bracelets with efficiency and promptness.
You can use glow products for many different purposes depending on what type of event it is. Glow products are notorious for their use at trance parties and dance clubs, so perhaps a themed event with music to match could be a great choice for a party. Or what about music concerts, where glow sticks are frequently seen waving in the air at the opening bars of a favourite song?
You can even ask your guests to get involved by arriving in fluorescent clothing. Wholesale retailers can provide you with a range of different ways to accessorise for your event, such as novelty glow products like glow necklaces and glow bracelets –even glowing party ware like flashing LED shot glasses and tumblers.
