iPhones, iPads and Games Consoles on Christmas List at Bidibot.com

Online penny auction site gets in festive spirit with a range of great electrical gifts at bargain prices.

2010-11-20

LONDON, ENGLAND, November 20, 2010 (Press-News.org) Bidibot.com, the online gambling-specific penny auction site, is set to roll out a new Christmas campaign that will see poker players picking up high quality stocking fillers at massively discounted prices every day.

Players registering to the site will be in for a festive feast of home and mobile entertainment as daily auction lots including laptops, iPads, iPhones and games consoles - such as the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 64 - are auctioned off to the highest bidder. It may sounds like a normal auction, but when customers consider that each bid increases the bid price by just $0.01, then they get a feel for the huge value available at Bidibot.com this Christmas.

In the past two weeks, two bidders - rje8686 and TheHulk - have each claimed a brand new games console for under 5% of the normal retail cost. The Sony PlayStation 3 winner, rje8686, posted the final bid of $12.17 to claim his prize for a staggering 96% discount on the normal retail value, while The Hulk secured an Xbox 360 with the new FIFA 11 game for a mere $2.01 - a massive 99.26% saving.

"While most of the auction lots we offer at Bidibot.com are online casino and poker chips, we're also very aware that it's Christmas for poker players too, so we're delighted to be offering these high quality, high value products at bargain prices," said Bidibot CEO, John Tabatabai.

"Registered users are averaging well over 90% discount on face value packages across our whole site, and the last two console wins were no different, and to be able to offer this sort of value with Christmas approaching is just fantastic. And, with 100% extra free bids on your first deposit, the time has never been better to join in the fun."

Saturday 20th November sees the auction of a $500 Samsung laptop with announcements of more great entertainment packages and bundles coming soon. Registration is free, and new members will receive $10 worth of free bids and have their first deposits matched with 100% extra free bids.

2010-11-20

If you plan to have a breast augmentation, you have many things to consider. Among them is how you will deal with attention following your breast augmentation. This may not seem like a big deal, but many women are surprised by the discomfort such attention causes them.

At the Houston Crime Lab, a Backlog in the Thousands

2010-11-20

The crisis in the Houston Crime Lab continues. In the most recent development, the Houston Chronicle reports the lab still has a backlog of thousands of untested rape kits dating to 1996, as well as 969 newer criminal cases awaiting DNA testing. This backlog grows at a rate of 75 unperformed tests per day. This tale began back in November 2002 (the problems actually extend back to the 1980s), when TV news reports questioned the quality of the forensic science work in the lab. This resulted in a shakeup and an independent investigation. The final report acknowledged that ...

Mental Illness Affects Punishment of Would-Be Dallas Terrorist

2010-11-20

Approximately one year ago, Hosam "Sam" Smadi parked a truck under Fountain Place office tower in downtown Dallas. He left the truck in the parking garage, walked away and entered a number into a cell phone. He expected the explosives in the truck to destroy the office building -- and kill approximately 2,000 people. Instead, he was arrested by the FBI and told that the explosives were fake. In October 2010, Smadi was sentenced to 24 years in prison for attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction. Although the sentence may seem severe, it could have been longer if ...

Police Tipped Off to Parole Violator's Location by Facebook Post

2010-11-20

Of all the ways that a person can catch the attention of the police, a seemingly innocuous post on Facebook, MySpace or another social networking website is certainly not at the top of most people's lists. Many people use social networking websites to keep tabs on friends, share pictures of a night out or to just update friends and family about the everyday and seemingly mundane aspects of our life. However, it should be remembered that the Internet is a public forum, not matter what we believe our privacy settings to be. Even though our statements are aimed at a small ...

The Impact of Gender on Blood-Alcohol Content in DUI Cases

2010-11-20

A man and a woman drinking the same amount of alcohol will have different BAC levels. The women will generally be higher. The reasons for this are complex, and have a great deal to do with a women's body chemistry. Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) is the amount of alcohol in the bloodstream or on one's breath. This is the standard means of testing for levels of intoxication in DUI cases. BAC is expressed as the weight of ethanol, measured in grams, in 100 milliliters of blood, or 210 liters of breath. BAC can be measured by breath, blood or urine tests. The most ...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates there are over 16,000 nursing homes in the United States. While the Nursing Home Reform Act was passed in 1987 to establish standards of care for nursing homes across the United States, allegations of substandard care, abuse and neglect still persist in long-term care facilities.

Commercial Motor Vehicle Texting Ban Now in Place

2010-11-20

With the rise in the use of wireless communication, there have been numerous accidents and studies detailing the dangers of texting while driving. According to the Governor's Highway Safety Association, 30 states have laws that ban texting for all drivers. Over one-third of those laws took effect in 2010. While the bans in those 30 states affect all drivers, including operators of commercial motor vehicles, the lack of laws and regulations in the 20 other states lead the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Association to act. As of October 27, 2010, a federal rule will prohibit ...

Regulations Lacking for Outpatient Surgery

2010-11-20

By some estimates, anywhere from 25 to 30 million Americans undergo surgery every year. Over one third of those surgeries require at least one night in the hospital and even more can involve a significant amount of recovery time. However, an increasing number of surgeries are performed on an outpatient basis each year, requiring no hospital stay and leaving it up to the patient to manage their own recovery. The Institute for Safety in Office-Based Surgery (ISOBS), an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing public awareness and improving the safety ...
