Great news has emerged from the U.S. state of Kentucky for poker online players everywhere! The Kentucky Court of Appeals issued a ruling last week prohibiting the Franklin Circuit Court from enforcing its seizure order against the 141 domain names of internet casino and poker sites that were seized illegally by the state of Kentucky. In case you haven’t followed this story Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear seized 141 internet gambling domains, including those belonging to several major online poker rooms. The Court found that Internet domain names are not a “gambling device” under Kentucky law and that the Franklin County Circuit Court’s ruling that these domain names constituted gambling devices that were subject to forfeiture was erroneous. I have been following this case for a while and this is great news. If the state of Kentucky basically said since online poker is illegal in that state, they could seize the domain names of any online poker site, no matter where it is based, and shut it down. This is, of course, illegal and if upheld would have allowed basically any government anywhere that doesn’t allow online poker to try and shut down any online poker site as long as anyone who lives in their jurisdiction was using it! This would have been preposterous and disastrous, and this is a victory for online poker players everywhere.

I can’t believe how early Christmas decorations are going up in towns now-a-days. I swear it is getting earlier and earlier every year. If last August this year I was having problems getting nice birthday cards because the card shops were swamped with Christmas cards, wrapping and gifts.

I only wish I could be that organised. If I could budget properly and buy presents in stages maybe I would not have to worry so much about the cost of all those Xmas gifts because I wouldn’t have to buy all the presents in one go. But I’m not. I try and try every year but I can never get prepared enough to do it, So come early December I am starting to panic.

Last year my friends told me about Discount Vouchers from FoundItCheaper – It lists some great ways to save money. I didn’t even realise it was possible but by simply entering the few letters that the website gives you, you automatically save money on your purchase.

You can use it at all your usual shops – Argos, BHS, Debenham’s – all of them! You enter the code just at the check out part of your website and it takes money off your final shopping total. It really is that simple. Last year it saved me loads and really took the pressure off me and my purse! I intend to keep my eye on it this year and hope to see some cracking Christmas deals that will save me even more money!
