Mon, 6 August 2007 My primary computer, that we produce the PageantCast on, went down last night around 9:30 p.m. Completely dead. I'm calling in tech support and hope to have it on its feet soon, but I have no idea. I'll also have limited access to e-mail, etc. during this nightmare so I won't be on top of that, either. Apologize for any service interruption. Category: general -- posted at: 8:30 AM Comments[0] | |||
Sat, 30 June 2007 Today's episode of PageantCast On The Scene is cancelled. I only got one usable interview last night so I will incorporate that in a new episode tomorrow. Besides, I got home at 3:00 a.m. which makes me all cranky and such. I'm an old guy these days. However, I will share with you the prelim winners: Talent (tie): Miss Western Wisconsin - Beth Bruzek / Miss Madison/Capitol City - Christina Thompson Swimsuit: Miss Arcadia - Dana Taysom Alrighty, then. Talk to you tomorrow. I'm taking a nap. Tim Category: general -- posted at: 3:15 PM Comments[0] | |||
Mon, 30 October 2006 This week's PageantCast will at minimum be delayed as my studio is moved. The move is happening in phases, but this is the bad one so it will affect this week's show most--perhaps even cancelling this one for a new one next week. We'll see how it goes, but I thank you all in advance for understanding! Tim Category: general -- posted at: 7:00 AM Comments[0] | |||

Mon, 27 March 2006 GSN
and Shuffle Up Productions to Telecast First-Ever Million Dollar 'Three
Card Poker National Championship Tournament' (New Friday Airdates -
April 21 and April 28)SOON: The PageantCast will be airing an exclusive interview with Danielle Demski "soon!" The popularity of Three Card Poker has risen quickly over the past nine years, making it one of the most played casino table games in North America, with international expansion close behind. Shuffle Master Inc. includes a portfolio of proprietary table games including Three Card Poker® and Let It Ride Bonus®. "We are excited about giving away a $1 million to the winner of our first event. Next year we anticipate bigger crowds and more players competing for the finals at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. We expect to conduct 30 to 35 Regional events in 2006 throughout North America," said Brooke Dunn, Senior Vice President of Shuffle Master, Inc. In Three Card Poker, players compete against the dealer. Each is dealt three cards face-down and must make the best poker hand with them. Hand rankings are slightly different from five-card poker: straights beat flushes, and the highest ranking hand is a straight flush. There are three wagers, pair plus, which pays based on the rank of the hand and the ante and play wagers that pay off if the players hand is higher than the dealers hand. The dealer must have a queen high or better to qualify. Shuffle Master held 20 regional Three Card Poker tournaments throughout North America, and over 250 people qualified to play in the finals at The Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The special will focus on the nine finalists as they battle for the $1 million dollar grand prize and a diamond and ruby-encrusted bracelet worth over $30,000. "GSN is on the forefront of bringing casino games to television in a compelling and entertaining manner," stated the show's executive producer, Eric Schotz. "Three Card Poker is a perfect fit for viewers. It is a game based on skill and luck that anyone can play." GSN, the Network for Games, is the only U.S. television network dedicated to game-related programming. The network features game shows, reality series, documentaries and casino games. As the industry leader in interactivity, GSN has allowed viewers to play-along with on-air programming via their computers and GSN.com since 2002. Reaching more than 57 million Nielsen homes, GSN is distributed in the U.S. through all major cable systems and satellite providers.
