I’ve always felt like Valentine’s Day is followed shortly by St. Patrick’s Day to cure the increasing rate of depression that follows the one day of the year people feel bad about being single. But every fluffy cloud should have a shimmering pink lining. So channel cupid, grab your arrows, and head to the bar for the hunt.Somehow, even when I had a boyfriend I always got shafted on Valentine’s Day (no pun intended) for one reason or another. I always end up at the bar with a couple of my girl friends and we would notice that the guys seemed sweeter, more attentive, and eyeing our red outfits like they could easily fall off. In a sense I realized, they were right. Here we were downing martini’s trying to erase that neglected feeling while standing before us, were beer guzzling men ready to pretend, at least for the night, that they care.So here is how to navigate the bar for just the right person. At least for this night.1. You’ve gotten your drink from the bar and you’ve begun to shimmy on the dance floor with the other ladies. You look over and see the bars creepy locals leering at you, don’t make eye contact and keep your moves PG. For now.2. The cute guy at the D.J booth is requesting a song. Now’s a good time to request the Journey song you’ve been dying to hear since you got to the bar. Bat your eyelashes, flip your hair over your shoulder, and ask cute guy what song he requested. Steer clear of if he mentions any songs with “Hate My Ex” or “Miserable” in the title.3. You met the guy you want to spend the rest of the night with. You can’t stop staring at his eyes…okay, dimples, muscles, butt… but he keeps mentioning his recent ex. It’s time to reconsider your options and excuse yourself to the bathroom. Powdering your nose is more exciting than this.4. Waiting to order your next drink, you spot Mr. Hottie Pototie chatting with the bartender. When you finally get the bartender’s attention ask if you can buy his friend a drink. It’s brave and charming. -

Water bottles, soda cans, candy wrappers, coffee cups – “people trash” strewn on the roadside. And what about all those patriotic red, white and blue recycling bins in our garages? They're empty! Does it surprise you to learn that Las Vegas households recycle only 2 percent of their trash? It doesn't surprise me at all – it makes me crazy. I'm on a mission to change things. From now on, it's reduce, reuse, recycle.

June 25th, 2009UncategorizedIt’s a fact that males have a higher alcohol tolerance than females. I’m pretty sure I read that somewhere, but I’ve also lived it. So what’s a girl to do when you want to hang with the boys all night?
There have been many nights that I’ve been out that a bartender has been hitting on me and thinks he has a better chance if I’m drunk so he keeps those drinks coming. Other nights I’ve been out with my group of drinking buddies who can finish off any drink in minutes and are ready to move onto shots. It’s taken me years to perfect my not drinking but drinking techniques that allow me to drink with the boys while still acting classy like a girl.1. Purchase a beer bottle, take a small sip and excuse yourself to go to the bathroom. Although I never condone wasting alcohol sometimes it’s necessary. Pour half or all of it down the drain and fill it with water. Just don’t get your bottle mixed up with your friends. Gigs up.2. The bomb. Jager bomb, cherry bomb, any bomb that requires red bull as a base is clutch. It slows down the immediate feeling of drunk wooziness.3. Diet coke is a girl’s best friend. Switch between one with alcohol and one without. Just remember to keep the garnish consistent so that nobody questions that fake drink.4. Start the Coors Light with ice trend. Make the excuse you like to keep your beer always cold. What you’re really doing is watering down already watered down beer.5. Wine spritzers keep the alcohol content low as well as the calorie count. Pair wine with sprite or club soda.6. Mocktails. Cranberry and orange juice looks like a fabulous mixed drink but note there is no vodka or rum added to it. Be careful you don’t go into a fruit juice coma with this one.7. Diet coke/regular coke and Malibu. My guy friends call this my ultimate girly drink. I drink it when I’m working so I’m drinking but just enough to get the party started and let someone take over from there.8. Keep a water bottle in your purse. It allows you to hydrate often throughout the night. -

State Sen. Bill Raggio says he won’t be supporting a business tax, which limits one of the options lawmakers might consider in closing the $2.4 billion budget gap facing Nevada. Speaking to the Las Vegas Business Press in an interview published today, Raggio ruled out voting for such a tax after university Chancellor Jim Rogers came out for one in a speech to the North Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce.
“I do not support this,” state Sen. Bill Raggio, R-Reno, said. “I don’t believe I could at this point in time, when the economy is leaving businesses in very bad shape as it is. A corporate income tax and a gross receipts tax is just out of the question.”
Southern Nevada would be hurt the most by a corporate income tax, which is what the profits tax would be, Raggio added.
“Businesses are really hurting, especially in Southern Nevada,” he said. “(Its) economy is in dire straits. Its industry is already suffering, especially gaming. That would be the final straw.”
Raggio is one of the key lawmakers in the tax debate, since Democrats control only 12 of the state Senate’s 21 votes. They need 14 to be able to raise or create any tax, which puts minority Republicans in a position to negotiate any tax solution. (Democrats control 28 votes in the Assembly — exactly two-thirds of the lower house.)
With Raggio’s declaration, it appears focus may shift to an incremental solution — a small increase in a large number of taxes across the board. Then again, Raggio today voted for a 3 percentage point increase in the hotel room tax in Clark and Washoe counties, despite promising a constituient in August, “Well, I’m not going to raise taxes, I can guarantee you that.”

Super Bowl Sunday can be a guy goldmine for single ladies if you can learn how to play the field correctly. It’s a day guys plan for weeks: the best location to watch the big game, if the beer will be continuously flowing, and if there will be a gorge of munchies readily available. All the details that go into planning this one day, and all we have to do is show up and well, score.
Do a Little Planning of Your Own. Find out which bars in your area have the most big screen T.V’s, which ones have the best football deals (think cheap pitchers of beer and wings), which bars are most popular. Guys subconsciously head for where bigger is better and they can still be as cheap as they like.
Game Gear. Know a lot about football already? Wear your jersey and support your team. Know nothing? Pull out that push up bra and go for the jeans and wife beater look. You never know, you might actually learn something for next year.
Rule #1: Don’t Talk During the Game. It’s the cardinal sin on game day to be talking to a hot guy while he’s watching the game. If you do those, ‘uh huhs’ and nods mean you can be 99% sure he’s not even listening. Wait until the commercials to make a cute comment, ask a question, or show off your football knowledge.
Buy Beer, or Buy Him a Beer. It’s a man’s world on Super Bowl so you might as well enjoy it. Grab a beer, take a shot of whiskey just don’t go for any pink drinks. Score more points by buying him a beer, it’s a sure fire attention getter, and if he returns the favor you’ll be ready for half time.
Dos and Don’ts. Do look like you’re having fun. Don’t look like your just waiting to watch the commercials (even though they ARE the best part). Do talk to guys, that is of course why you came. Don’t expect them to come talk to you, that is not why they came. Do wear the appropriate team jersey if the team you’re rooting for is in the Super Bowl. Don’t wear his brother’s who is on another team completely (I really had a friend do this). Do give and get phone numbers. Don’t drunk text later on.
