Birdman Buys Massive Miami Mansion!


Some people live good, some live really good, and some live like Rapper and Rap Industry Mogul, Birdman. Below are the specs on his crib...I am assuming if he brings a date home, it is going down (not just talking the panties). When I was fresher (younger), I use to wonder who the heck buys and lives in a home like this? It kinda does not even look like a home, but this is where your mind has to get away from stinking thinking (as it is called in personal development courses).

Most of us would love to live in a set like this; but we say it is too much because he could have bought a housing residence to house poor families or homeless people  Guess what folks, he's done that; and by all means, if you're able to make a lot of money, you (in my opinion) are obligated to help a lot of people materially. At the same time, you're obligated to what you want to do also. Live lavish, eat well, talk big, but also remember you're human and all can vanish tomorrow at the sounds of a trumpet.

But you have to like Birdman's set up, he's still making that cash money and there is nothing to hate about that. This article I pulled from yahoo, you can read it below. Peace, and don't forget to visit duedaniels.com for info and articles related to personal development, health, and our favorite, making money. God bless, God speed

Hey, when you head up a record label called "Cash Money"--you gotta live up to the name, right? Hip-hop icon Bryan "Birdman" Williams, who's known for buying whatever he wants at any price, apparently takes this very seriously: He has just thrown down $14.5 million on a Miami mansion, which looks ornate even by music-mogul standards. In fact, the new pad actually resembles a luxuryhotel more than a private residence.

The property, which is in the exclusive Palm Island area, may not be as big as a full-scale mega-hotel--but it comes with resort-like amenities and certainly has room to accommodate more than a few overnight guests. It boasts 19,000 square feet, 9 bedrooms, and 17 bathrooms. According to Realtor.com, the home features 100 feet of waterfront, plus a mind-boggling pool area which rivals any private club in Vegas.
And, of course, it's got all the over-the-top touches Birdman will need to host friends like Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj in style--25-foot ceilings, a 70-foot custom bar, massage room, home theater, and gym. No word if a bellhop has been hired yet, but we wouldn't be surprised.
As proof positive that Birdman is not exactly what anyone would call a penny pincher--he purchased an $8 million Maybach Exelero car in May--this particular house was not scooped up at a bargain price. It originally belonged to music producer Scott Storch, who was forced into foreclosure in 2009. The home was then scooped up for the relatively reasonable price of $6.75 million by Rockstar Energy Drinks co-owner Russell Weiner...who clearly just made a tidy profit on his investment.
Don't worry too much about Birdman losing out on a deal, though. His wallet clearly isn't crying:Forbes named him one of hip-hop's five wealthiest artists in 2011, with a net worth of about $100 million.

Texas Hold 'Em Poker Fun and Games


Texas hold ‘em poker started in the early 1900s at Robstown, Texas. In 1967, Crandell Addington and few other poker players introduced Las Vegas to Texas hold ‘em. Around that time the Golden Nugget Casino was the only casino to play Texas hold ‘em. The decor and scenery of the poker room was not very attractive in those days. All that changed over time nevertheless.

Texas Hold ‘em Poker on the Rise


Texas Hold 'Em Poker was
even Released on Apple
Due to media and television Texas hold ‘em has seen a large spike in popularity. Texas hold ‘em tournaments have been on television since the 1970s, but ratings didn’t move up or spike until 1999. This was the first time lipstick cameras were introduced. Lipstick cameras allows the viewer to see the players face down cards. That way the viewers can get in on the excitement a little more.

Online poker also has much to do with the explosion of Texas hold ‘em. You can play poker online for cheap and still build your bankroll. Online poker is also anonymous which helps people to be more comfortable betting. Many people win tournaments at online poker, and online poker is where many professional poker players get their start to the game of Texas hold ‘em.  Nowadays you have to be careful though and do research, because most online poker sites are illegal in the U.S.

The Explosion of Texas Hold ‘Em Poker

 

Another reason for the popularity of Texas of hold ‘em are the players. There have been many poker players who have become celebrities. Phil Ivey for example is known as the “Tiger Woods” of poker. He’s won multiple tournaments and bracelets in poker. He also allows the viewer take a look at his lavish lifestyle. Texas hold ‘em poker has also become popular because there have been novices who win poker tournaments. So many people looking to start playing poker have a ‘if he can do it I can do it’ mentality. Which is true but not always true.

Be Cautious and Learn Texas Hold ‘Em Poker Before Your Play


Texas hold ‘em has come a long way. You can even find celebrity matches on television now. Texas hold ‘em is not like any other betting game in a casino. Primarily because Texas hold ‘em is a game of strategy with a little luck. It’s no longer looked at as a rough game to play like when it first came on the scene.

Violence in Chicago is Too Much


The violence in Chicago has recently been getting a lot of attention worldwide. There are many street gangs throughout the city of Chicago that makes it a very dangerous place to live in urban poverty stricken areas. Even though the media has been covering Chicago violence recently, it’s important to know that violence in Chicago has been here a long time. There’s even been worse times in Chicago believe it or not.

Violence in Chicago


The first major rise of violence in the city was 1974. Chicago had 970 murders during that time.  When the 90s started the homicides started to grow again. The most significant time was 1992, Chicago had 943 murders. As time went on the murders started to decline. By the time 2000 came around Chicago was down to 633 murders.

As 2004 approached, Chicago got the murders down even further; there were 453 murders that year. Chicago Police Department says what really helped murders decrease were the surveillance cameras that were put up throughout many of Chicago’s rougher neighborhoods. Even though that might sound good, Chicago’s murder rate was still way above average. As of right now Chicago currently has 505 murders. So it seems like violence may be trying to peek back up.

Violence in Chicago 2012 Improving?


Violence in Chicago is Affecting People
If you are from Chicago, you already know when the summer hits you can usually expect the murder rates to rise up and be high. Most people are murdered between 7pm and 5am. There have been a few murders in Chicago that has gotten national attention. For example, the murder of Derrion Albert. Derrion Albert was caught in a brawl and beaten to death with railroad tie near Fenger Academy High School. Even President Obama had to weigh in on the senseless violence in Chicago.

Even though the murders have decreased from the 90s era, there is still much work to be done in Chicago. There are rumors that the National Guard may come and try to clean up the streets. We must also keep in mind that most of these murders take place in poverty stricken areas. So until these poverty stricken areas get some resources, there is always going to be high crime rates.

What Can We Do About Violence in Chicago


Community leaders and government officials have to understand the correlation between poverty, lack of education, and violence. We can fix a generation if we provide better education and improve monetary systems for people to work and start businesses. We have to do this to assist the decrease of violence in Chicago going forward.
