Don’t let Texas Holdem Poker terms scare you off!

If you are intrigued by the world of poker, but have no idea of what a “pre-flop” or a “river” are, no one of your friends does quite qualify for the poker trainer role, and you cannot absolutely picture yourself driving to the closest bookstore, buying the latest poker guide and then reading it, you may then want to check out the free poker tutorial available in some of the major poker rooms online.

Understanding the poker lingo is an essential part of becoming a poker player, as is learning the poker rules and being able to practice playing. Online training rooms are very easy to use and take away the pressure of playing poker with real people. Instead, newcomers learn how to play poker by playing against automated trainers (robots).

A typical poker tutorial has a poker glossary and a step-by-step game play, with commentary and examples. All you need to do is to download the poker software and start playing for fun. Online poker training is easy and free. You can use the online poker training room as often as you’d like, anytime, day and night, and there is no minimum deposit required.

Once you’re ready you can then play for cash at the real money tables, you can select multi-table tournaments or sit-n-go’s, limit or no limit tables, and discover the whole world of poker . In addition, some of the largest poker rooms have their software translated into many languages to welcome players from all over the world in the comfort and convenience of their native language. So, download the software, learn the lingo, and start playing. Enjoy!

CCIDC has announced a new “single” certification.

Filed under: College Education, Graphics + Design + Layout — admin @ 7:14 am

CCIDC has announced a new “single” certification examination for Interior Designers in California. Anyone who intends to become a Certified Interior Designer need to write and clear one of the three recognized national examinations such as the NCIDQ, the CQRID, including a supplemental California Codes and Regulations Examination, the CCRE and all these courses are running for the last eight years approximately. Before then, only one national examination was recognized. These are additional to the regulations noted in Section 5800 of the Business & Professions Code. This move from the California Council for Interior Design Certification (CCIDC) will bring to the interior design market many new young interior designers.

Bringing the California certification examination up to date to be in accordance with the Section 139 of the California Business and Professions Code and to make it available to those who fall under the three categories of education and experience under the law, as well as to those with “experience only” is the purpose.

Mandatory: Candidates and student that pass the examination to meet all of the other requirements for becoming a Certified Interior Designer.

Note: CCIDC will accredit those who have taken one of the three national examinations, by making the current CCRE available longer.

Work Experience Degree - Get What You Deserve

Filed under: College Education — admin @ 10:13 am

I lost track of how many bags of Doritos I’ve eaten this week. If I sat up and looked underneath me, I bet I could get a lot better of an idea. Ah, but I don’t really want to do that. I’m really comfortable. In fact, I’ve been comfortable for…god, I guess four or five years now. Its not that bad, sometimes friends come by and my mom has called me before too. Although I do have one regret. Probably my only issue with my life dedicated to the ultimate acquisition of sloth (really I like to think of myself as a Western monk), is that I’ve acquired virtually no skills or experiences whatsoever, work or life derived. Normally I wouldn’t consider this a problem. That drastically changed when I heard about work experience degrees.

A work experience degree is a college degree that you can earn by using your knowledge and skills and experience instead of going to the classroom and laboratory and learning these things by experts, academics, professors and intellectuals. You may be thinking that even having a degree is something that wouldn’t appeal to me. Normally, you’d be right. But, through the work experience degree method, obtaining a degree is completely congruent with my life philosophy.

For those of you who are crying, “FOUL!” Quiet yourselves. This isn’t one of those “diploma mills” that just doles out undeserving degrees to any fool that fills out the online application. I’m talking about utilizing your native understanding of Spanish to pick up a Spanish 101 course credit. I’m talking about bring using a painting you did to grab yourself a little intro to art credit. Get the picture? That boring seminar on new methods in bookkeeping that your job sent you to just earned you credits in accounting.

This is legitimate, is reasonable and its respectable. The more knowledge you have gained in your jobs, travels and general life, the more college credits you’ll have with the work experience degree. There are several institutions that can help you with this, but the Thomas Edison State College is one of the best. This is because it has no restrictions on the number of credits you can acquire through work experience. So, for those of you that have done more in your lives than me (which should be just about all of you…if not call me, we’ll hang out), start making your experience work for you. Go get started on your work experience degree.
