Whether you’re Irish or simply love Irish traditions and holidays, St. Patrick’s Day brings Irish cheer to many people around the world. St. Patrick’s Day is a celebration of all things Irish, commemorated on March 17 when many families gather and serve cabbage, corned beef, and delightful mint chocolate pies. Some cities even celebrate by changing entire bodies of water to the color green to remember the beloved St. Patrick.

The holiday also sparks a tradition of shopping for and wearing Irish t-shirts and apparel, usually the color green. People celebrate by wearing cute Irish accessories and fun clothing to create humor on the holiday.

Brief History of St. Patrick’s Day

The holiday remembers St. Patrick, one of Ireland’s patron saints. St. Patrick was born to a family of aristocrats in Whales and was set on course to become a priest. He was captured at 16 years of age and taken to Ireland by Irish raiders. For six years, he was held captive, but was also able to grow spiritually during this time. He believed he heard the voice of God commanding him to leave Ireland, so he escaped to Britain after walking hundreds of miles.

He became a priest and returned to Ireland, knowing that many citizens of Ireland were pagans at the time. He created the famous Celtic Cross and used some of the Irish customs he had learned to celebrate Easter. Many people believe St. Patrick died on March 17 in 461 AD. His legend grew in Ireland and the UK as the man who single-handedly spread Christianity throughout Ireland during his day. Perhaps the most famous legendary story about St. Patrick is that he drove out snakes while in Ireland. Though this story is probably not true, many Irishmen claim that a snake cannot be found in Ireland!

Celebrations of St. Patrick’s Day

Today, St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated around the world. In Ireland, it was once a religious holiday, but is now used to draw millions of tourists each year with parades, fireworks, and live entertainment. In America, there are parades, Irish dances and jigs, Irish singing, wearing Leprechaun-themed outfits, clovers with three leaves, and more. The holiday is celebrated with a day of prayer by many Irish Catholic families. St. Patrick’s Day is often called by a nickname, St. Paddy’s Day. There are even products and icons designed specifically for the holiday such as Paddy the loveable Leprechaun, which can be bought in various themes like Cop Paddy, Firefighter Paddy, or Cowboy Paddy.

A Hat For St Patrick’s Day

Thursday, March 11th, 2010






Have you ever gone out on March 17th and found that many people were wearing a St. Patrick’s Day hat? I know that I have seen it, especially in bars and nightclubs. It seems that hats have become as much of a tradition as what green beer is for St. Paddy’s Day.

Nightclubs aren’t the only place I find people wearing a St. Patrick’s Day hat. I’ve seen many kids wearing hats to school to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day. My daughters love being able to pick out a new hat to wear for school. Most of the time they end up with a sequined hat, though they usually pick out a top hat for me.

A St. Patrick’s Day hat doesn’t have to be expensive. There are hats available for less than a dollar, though these are usually plastic and won’t last much beyond the one day. Of course, you can get hats that are more expensive, but it’s not really a great expense. Hats usually range between the $10-$20 mark; with a few exceptions, and many are available for less than the ten dollars as well.

Dressing up in a St. Patrick’s Day hat is meant to be fun, and since they are always green or have green on them they can save you from the pinch too! Personally, we have found this to be a fun way to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day. My advice; get a kiss, buy a hat, and make the most of enjoying the day.

Winning Sports Picks – Who You Should Follow

Thursday, March 11th, 2010






March madness brackets are quickly approaching us. 64 teams there has to be 1 winner! Will you pick the correct winner? Are you prepared to choose Cinderella teams when you pick your NCAA mens basketball tournament predictions?

Winning sports picks are a must, definitely if you decide to quit your job and place wagers on sports for a living. There is no better feeling than quitting your 9-5 day job, buying a house, a new car, and putting money away in your savings account thanks to sports betting online. There is a new revolution that’s hitting the streets today, its called sports picks online! No more bookies, no more trips to Las Vegas needed, no more embarrassment from your friends and family for betting sports picks. You can pretty much do anything today from the comfort of your own home, and betting on sports is one of them. NCAA odds, college basketball odds, and college basketball favorites to win are challenging but definitely something that you can put in your favor.

When you normally bet on sports if you do a straight wager, you have a 50/50 shot of winning. You either win or you don’t. That is a 50/50 shot of winning DOING NO research on your wager. Now let’s say you know sports well, inside and out, and you place your own bets. You can put the NCAA odds or whatever sport you want to bet on definitely in your favor. Your odds of winning may go from 50/50 to 56-60/50. You may win now 55 to 60% of the time and only lose 40%. Now depending on how much you bet on each game, this could be extremely profitable. If you want to increase your odds of winning to 85% or better, I suggest you hire a professional handicapper.

Professional handicappers can be a great source of income following their picks when betting on sports. What you need to look for in a professional handicapper is one that has an 80% or better winning percentage and has an affordable price. The best ones that I have found have an 80% or better winning percentage guaranteed, a low one time monthly fee, and a refund if you do not make profit for the month. You absolutely cannot beat that. If you currently are using a professional handicapper that does not meet these requirements and standards, you seriously need to reevaluate where you are spending your money.

For $50.00 or less a month I am now able to have a conversion rate of at least 80% or better on all sports picks. I have been using a professional handicapper for over 6 months and I have never had to get a refund. I have increased my profits by over 30%, when I was betting on my own and it is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I got a new car, new house, quit my day job, and a huge savings account. All thanks to a professional handicapper providing me with winning sports picks on a constant basis.

Basketball History

Thursday, March 11th, 2010






The father of basketball, Dr. James Naismith came up with the game in 1892 and the first game was played in Beaver Falls Pennsylvania on April 8 1893 between the New Brighton YMCA and the Geneva College.
The game was very popular and by 1914 as many as 360 colleges boasted basketball teams. In 1939, the first NCAA Men’s College Basketball Championship tournament was held which was won by the University of Oregon.

The formation of Pro basketball in 1896 came about from a dispute between YMCA team members and officials and ended in the members forming a professional team that played for money. In 1898, the NBL (National Basketball League) was formed and produced the first basketball stars – Ed Wachter and Barney Sedran.

The first two professional basketball teams to achieve success were the Buffalo Germans and the Celtics but during the 1930’s favorites included the New York Renaissance and the Harlem Globetrotters. During this time, womens basketball was also popular and produced great players such as Babe Didrikson and Alline Banks Sprouse.

In 1940, the first college basketball game was shown on TV. This game was played between Pittsburgh and Fordham at Madison Square Garden, and catapulted basketball into a national sensation. Since then basketball has been one of the most watched sports and in fact the March Madness, when almost 350 American colleges compete for the NCAA basketball crown is the most watched event in the United States.

In Pro basketball during the 1940’s and 50’s the Minneapolis Lakers were a huge favorite of many winning 5 NBA championship titles and producing starts like Bob Cousy and Bob Pettit. But during the late 1950’s up until 1969, the Celtics had the court winning 11 NBA titles (8 f them right in a row). During this era favorite players included Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlin of the Philadelphia Warriors.

During 1963 to 1975 The University of California, Los Angeles was in the spotlight winning 10 national championships, including seven in a row. Some of the great players of this UCLA team include Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jamaal Wilkes, Bill Walton, Gail Goodrich and Marques Johnson.

In 1967 the American Basketball Association (ABA) was formed and many will remember one of the satart players Julius Erving as well as their red white and blue basketballs. The ABA only lasted until 1976 when it broke up and many of the teams joined the NBA.

In the 1960’s, womens basketball introduced the 5 player full court format and made dribbling fully legal but it wasn’t until 1985 that the Basketball Hall of Fame began inducting woman coaches and players. Some of the first women to get this honor include Carol Blazejowski, Ann Meyers, Cheryl Miller; Nancy Lieberman-Cline and Anne Donovan.

In the late 1970’s start players like Larry Bird of Indiana State University and Michigan State Universities Magic Johnson emerged and the late 1980s saw such major players as Isiah Thomas and Dennis Rodman. But perhaps the most beloved player of all is Michael Jordan who led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA championships in the 1990s.
