I have often thought about the so called percentage of people whom win a Big Prize in their national or state lotto let's say 1 million and over but end up broke within 5 years! It's obvious that we give so much thought and effort to the winning aspect that we neglect the 'Handling' aspect which is equally important, in some extreme cases more so. 노 To expand on the above. Ms. Joanne Doe (not a real person) wins let's keep it simple and say $1,000,000 in her national/state lotto and is blown away and naturally over the moon. She also has one million ideas going through her head about how she is going to spend her newly found fortune. She knows she now has no further money worries and can purchase anything (within reason) she desires, payoff all her debts, a holiday and even give up her job if she wishes. She calls all her family and friends and shares the wonderful news. Here's were I think the problems begin. After calling all your family and friends you now have (conservatively speaking) 20 people now mentally spending the money and giving you advise and ideas. Of course everyone's happy for her (and some more so for themselves!) so as soon as funds clear in her account she is going to have a knee jerk reaction spending spree, which is quiet normal. I'm sure some of her friends and family will be present at this monumentous occasion and probably $20,000 will wash through her finger tips. I'm sure that's perfectly normal for most mortals but now is the time to sit down and take stock for at least 7 days to work out in her mind and on paper how she is going to handle her newly found fortune. Below I will outline a basic rule of thumb which I think can be useful and easily adjusted depending on win amount i.e. $2 million win double the figures etc... She has $980,000 left. Grand total spend thus far is $720,000 and this looking at the above is a conservative spend! Leaving you with $280,000 to deposit in a high interest account at 5% which will yield approx. $14,000 per year or $1,166 per month. Although Joanne's out goings are low due to no debt and ownership of her home it might still be a good idea to keep the day job! A word of warning... the above does not take into account the people she will attract and be contacted by once the word starts to get out about her newly found fortune! I will elaborate on this in an update at a later date. I will just say this factor can be devastating if not handled correctly. One might consider being rather discrete in the first instance... At least until one moves home! NO PLAIN TATTOO CASINO ROYALE WHO ARE THESE GUYS? MORE THAN SKIN DEEP BANKER'S HOURS OPEN PALMS THE ARTISTS WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS?
CASINO ROYALE The Palms Casino, made famous by MTV's Real World, is now home to the Hart & Harrington Tattoo Company. The shop opened on February 25th with performances by Good Charlotte and Mix Master Mike of the Beastie Boys. The event was earmarked by a fashion show featuring designs from Jaime Pressly. This is the first time a Las Vegas casino has housed a tattoo parlor and is the first official location of Hart & Huntington. WHO ARE THESE GUYS? Who are Hart & Huntington anyway? Well the idea falls to a masterminding venture with Palms owner, George Maloof and a couple guys with the last names of Hart and Huntington. Carey Hart is an extreme sports freestyle motocross legend and John Huntington is one of the country's premier nightclub promoters. Huntington is responsible for creating big parties, including two of the largest in the country - Club 노노노노노노 Rubber and the Pimp ?n Ho Costume Ball. MORE THAN SKIN DEEP Behind the scenes, the tattoo company has three state-of-the-art tattoo stations. Guests are free to choose from the "flash" (pre-drawn artwork on the walls) or they can customize their own designs to fit their personalities. A private guest station for VIPs is also available. The entire place feels like a lounge complete with antique leather- covered walls, a custom surround sound stereo system and luxurious seating. Djs are regularly featured in the shop as are some of the countries premier tattoo artists. BANKER'S HOURS Casino banker's hours that is. You can get a Hart & Huntington tat between the hours of noon and midnight Sunday through Wednesday. Noon and 3 AM, Thursday through Saturday. OPEN PALMS The Palms Casino is heralded as one of Las Vegas? hippest resorts. A 95,000 square foot casino, spa, salon and 14- theatre Cineplex are just part of the $265 million dollar resort. A lavish, "Mad Max - Beyond Thunderdome" styled night club dubbed, Rain in the Desert or just Rain for those in the know, boasts a dance floor with shooting fire. The Skin Pool Lounge gives you more than one reason to take a break from the gambling and the Ghostbar on the roof will give you the swankiest view Las Vegas has to offer.

LACEY Even though her mother and grandmother are both artists, 28 year old Lacey came into tattooing more from the lifestyle cultural angle. It was a kind of retaliation and liberation from her stodgy upbringing in a small Utah town. For her tattooing is a creative and holistic endeavor. As she says, "A blending of some physical pain with the desire of your soul to be permanently marked, along with some mental control, makes you feel very alive". INK?D AE now runs a hidden camera at the shop, called "Ink'd". A reality show that records conversations between the customers and artists as well as documenting the ongoing dramas with the staff operating Hart & Harrington Tattoo Company.
