After reading about “billy the human billboard”, 우리카지노계열 a guy who has put at last count over 23 brand 우리카지노계열 named tattoos on his body for money (and even changed his name to “Hostgator Dotcom”).., I was going to ask a forum question “how much would you need to get paid to put a company’s brand or logo tattoo on your body? But then I realized, this would actually make a great hub. People have put brand names and logos all over…, forearm, back, forehead, for money and just because they love the product. Want to see what some of these people got paid to brand themselves? Read on…

Meet Billy Gibby a.k.a ” Billy the Human Billboard”. At first glance he may appear a bit crazy, but Billy’s story does start out with good intentions. Billy is a well known boxer in Anchorage Alaska, and as a boxer he already knew how to get paid for temporary tattoos from companies willing to pay good money to get their logo seen. But when a childhood friend needed a kidney transplant he decided to go the extra mile and offered to put a permanent tattoo anywhere on his body for more money. A few years later I read that he now has collected 26 paid for tattoos (including an adult website on his forehead) and hopes to someday make it into the Guinness book of world records for the most paid for tattoos on a person’s body. In one of his most recent moves, he not only put this company’s brand name on the back of his neck, but he legally changed his name to Mr. Hostgator Dotcom. Just wondering if some of the many punches to his face over the years have possibly affected his rational?…Interested in advertising on this 18-0 tough man champion boxer’s body? You can check his personal blogpspot here for prices… I’m wondering If I should put “Howlermunkey” on his chest…..Would that count as a backlink??

Source Next up is Kari Smith, a young mother from Utah who wanted to help pay for her son’s college tuition. I don’t know about you, but this picture makes me want to avoid this online casino at all costs. You may remember Golden Casino from other stunts, such as the purchase of the “Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese Sandwich” featured in my “Top Ten Craziest and Weirdest items that ever Sold on eBay” hub. I’m wondering what’s next, will the Vegas casino’s tattoo “Cheater” on your forehead if you get caught counting cards at the blackjack table?

How much did Kari get paid to tattoo her forehead? Ten thousand dollars. I’d really like to know if that money is still socked away in the bank. Wouldn’t it be ironic if it got wasted in online slot machines? Imagine that scenario, not only did you lose your son’s college tuition, but now every time you look in the mirror you see the casino that took your money back. Sounds like a scene from “The Hangover, 우리카지노계열 part 3″. You can find some more extreme brand tattoo pics at Rankmytattoos.com. Believe it or not, some people brand themselves with company logos for free.

Source So was this a fad?

It seems most of the websites I found that give info on “how to tattoo yourself with corporate logos for money” seem almost dead at the moment. The pages I found include “tatad.com” , which currently has a “bandwidth exceeded” error message, and “leaseyourbody.com” (featured on Billythehumanbillboard’s neck) doesn’t seem like it has any recent posts. (I feel sorry for the girl with the temp tattoo on her forehead), how long has her picture been on the front page of that site?

After much research, it seems the best way to get paid from a company to tattoo yourself with their brand name is to contact therm directly. You could also try selling personal advertising space on eBay. Some companies, such as ecko, offer a lifetime 20% discount. Personally I’m thinking more along the lines of 60-70% discount would be fair. Hmm, this leads me to a poll, How much would it take for you to tattoo a brand name on your body?

How much would you take for a company to place their brand name as a permanent tattoo on your body?

20 – 40 percent discount for life

500 – 2500 Dollars

10,000 – 15,000 Dollars

Depends on where the ad is placed

No amount of money or discount

Free – Just because I LOVE their product

Did You know that some of the beach sand in Florida actually comes from the Sahara Desert?

And So the 21st Century Space Rush Begins

Who invented the Caesar Salad?

So now I’m wondering if HubPages would pay me for a tattoo. Probably have to publish a few more hubs first ;). If You find some more crazy or lucrative corporate brand tattoo stories please feel free to comment.

Specifically, try to get in contact with the marketing department. Good luck, and if you are able to make money off a tattoo, please let us know about it! Thanks for stopping by! –howlermunkey

id=”article-body” class=”row” section=”article-body”> Sceptre Not every holiday can be as exciting as Thanksgiving or Christmas. And since it’s always within a few days from Valentine’s Day, Presidents Day has it tough. But retailers do their best to jazz things up with some Presidents Day sales, and this year there are some genuinely great deals to be had. 

Here’s what you need to know: Presidents Day takes place on Monday, Feb. 17, and should be an especially good time to get a mattress — this is the holiday that, as a society, we’ve decided is a good time to buy bedding. We’re also seeing some good deals on home goods and electronics, even though those sales mainly happen during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Here are the biggest sales happening this weekend:

PCs and laptops: Lenovo has about two dozen products on its Presidents Day page. 

PCs, laptops, TVs and other electronics: Dell has a treasure trove of Doorbuster deals for Presidents Day.

It’s all about appliances at the Best Buy Presidents Day Sale page, which has up to 40% off.

There’s a little of everything at the Walmart Savings Spotlight, which includes Presidents Day sale items. 

Need a car? Volvo is having a Presidents Day Sales Event.

If you need an appliance, Home Depot has up to 40% off with appliance special buys. 

Not everything is about tech, gadgets and household products. Check out Macy’s Presidents Day Sale page as well. 

Here are the best Presidents Day deals we’ve found so far, but be sure to check back from time to time. We’ll keep this article updated with new deals and updates as they happen.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon: 57% off and $300 in Rakuten points

With these Lenovos, Rakuten is offering 20% back in points that are as good as cash

Lenovo For the lead-up to Presidents Day, Rakuten is going above and beyond. Not only are there some deep discounts on Lenovo hardware, 우리카지노주소 but you get 20% back in Rakuten Super Points, which you can redeem on your next purchase. That’s nothing to sneeze at. Consider the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon with 1TB SSD, for example. You can get it for $1,499, which is 57% off, and get another $300 in Rakuten points at the same time. That’s enough to snag a set of Bose QuietComfort 35 ANC headphones, for instance. 

Here are the Lenovo deals we could find:

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 7 with 1TB SSD plus $300 in Rakuten points: $1,500 

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 7 with 512GB SSD plus $330 in Rakuten points: $1,649

These deals end Feb. 17, and inventory may sell out before then, so if you like any of these, I suggest you jump on them now before your luck runs  out.

$1,499 at Rakuten Microsoft Xbox One S 1TB All-Digital Edition with three-game bundle: $134

You save $115

Sarah Tew/CNET Just because Black Friday has come and gone doesn’t mean that you can’t still save a wad of cash on a new Xbox. This Xbox One S All Digital Edition comes with a 1TB drive and a trio of games: Minecraft, Sea of Thieves and Forza Horizon. To get this deal, apply promo codes  212XBOX100 and UKMHJX at checkout. They’ll stack to give you a total of $115 off. Read our full review of the Xbox One S.

$134 at Google Shopping All SodaStream sparking water makers and accessories: 15% off

Save on Fizzi Classic, One Touch Electric, Aqua Fizz Premium and other brands

SodaStream I wish there was a clever historical tie-in to this particular deal, such as if George Washington used to carbonate his own sparkling water using chopped-down cherry trees, but alas, that doesn’t appear to be the case. Nonetheless, SodaStream is discounting its Fizzi Classic, One Touch Electric and Aqua Fizz Premium sparking water makers — basically, everything sitewide — from now through Feb. 17. To get 15% off anything on the site, apply discount code PRES15 at checkout. The only caveat: You can’t get this discount on gas or cylinder exchanges. 

See at SodaStream Beats Studio3 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones: $199

You save $150

Sarah Tew/CNET The Beats Studio3 might look the same as their predecessor, but they’re radically re-engineered on the inside. They include Apple’s W1 Bluetooth chip, for example, which is why they pair so well with iPhones and also eke out as much as 22 hours of battery life. But they also deliver a solid bass response — something that a lot of headphones in this class tend to lack — not to mention improved noise canceling. Usually priced at $350, Best Buy is now offering the gray version (and only gray — the other colors are priced much higher) for just $200. That’s about $50 less than the best price we could find elsewhere. Read our full Beats Studio3 Wireless review.

$200 at Best Buy August Smart Keypad: $48

You save $12

August I’m a big fan of the August Smart Lock — there’s nothing quite like the convenience of hearing your front door unlock automatically as you approach the porch. Not everyone loves using a mobile app to unlock the front door, though. Add August’s Smart Keypad and guests, kids and your smartphone-ambivalent spouse can just tap the entry code. Right now, save $12 on the keypad when you enter promo code VDAY20 at checkout.

Update, Feb. 16: August has added some more deals:

Save $80 on an August Smart Lock Pro plus Connect bundle with promo code VDAY80

Save $50 on an August Smart Lock with promo code VDAY50

Vizio’s SB36512-F6 is a 5.1.2 home theater soundbar with a pair of wired rear speakers and a wireless subwoofer.

Save $1,000 on this factory refurbished and recertified tablet PC

Sarah Tew/CNET The Surface Pro 4 is far from the newest model — it first hit the streets back in late 2015 — but it got solid reviews at the time and remains a dependable tablet PC workhorse, despite the appearance of many newer iterations in the interim. This model is powered by a 6th generation i5 processor, has 256GB of storage, and has a 12.3-inch display. It’s also a refurb, certified to look and 우리카지노주소 work like new. It comes with a 90-day warranty, which should be plenty of time to uncover any unexpected glitches. Since new models still sell for around $1,500, this is essentially $1,000 off. Read our Microsoft Surface Pro 4 review.

$499 at ZDNet Academy Dell XPS 13: $1,100

You save $300

Dell Dell is having a pretty big Presidents Day sale, with over 200 featured deals rolling out over the next few days. One of our favorite deals you can snag right now is this souped-up Dell XPS 13, decked out with a 10th Generation Intel Core i7-10710U and 256GB SSD. In a review of the XPS 13, CNET’s Dan Ackerman said, “Dell has done nearly the impossible — it’s made a laptop I can find almost no fault with.”

We’re big fans of the XPS 13 and its narrow bezel that makes the 13.3-inch screen look massive. It comes with a trio of USB-C ports and a microSD slot, as well as a Windows Hello-compatible integrated fingerprint reader and four microphones for Cortana voice support from across the room.

$1,100 at Dell Ganker Ex movement-controlled battle robot: $400

You save $100

Ganker I’ve written about (and drooled over) the Ganker Ex before. It’s a mech-style robot you operate with a set of controls strapped to your waist. Rather than pushing joysticks on a traditional R/C controller, you grasp articulated arms that look like your robot’s appendages. As interesting as it looks, $500 is a lot to ask, even for a toy like this that’ll appeal equally well to kids and adults. But you can now get a Ganker Ex for $400 when you use promo code  GJSROBERT at checkout. If you buy one, please send me video of your battles. 

$400 at Amazon Lenovo Yoga C630 13-inch 2-in-1 laptop: $500

You save $440

Sarah Tew/CNET The Yoga C630 is one of our favorite Presidents Day deals because the discount is enormous — regularly $940, it’s selling for $500 through the holiday when you use discount code EARLYVOTING11 at checkout. That means you can get this Windows 10 Home S Mode laptop for less than the Yoga Chomebook 630 variation we reviewed last year. 

This Yoga 630 has a 13.3-inch FHD display with 1,920×1,080 pixels. It’s powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 850 processor and has a 128GB solid-state drive. It’s a convertible, so you can use it as a laptop or tablet and tent it as well. 

Lenovo has a lot more on sale for Presidents Day, including IdeaPads, Yogas and IdeaCentres. Check out all the deals at Lenovo’s Presidents Day sale page.

$500 at Lenovo Sceptre 55-inch 4K UHD LED TV: $229

You save $260

Sceptre What sport do they play on Presidents Day? Hockey? Presidential debates? Water polo? The point is that I don’t follow sports. But no matter what you want to watch on Presidents Day weekend, you can do it in style with a new 55-inch screen. Sceptre isn’t a big-name brand, and the Sceptre U550CV-U doesn’t have quantum dots or even smart TV streaming apps built in. But it does have a 4K screen and costs just $229. 

Cheapskate Rick pondered the question of whether you should buy this Sceptre TV, and he landed on, “Yes, it’s a great deal and if you don’t like it, you can return it.” (I paraphrase.)

$229 at Walmart Save $250 on an Amerisleep mattress

The deal is good on any mattress sitewide

Amerisleep Now through Feb. 17, you can get $250 off any Amerisleep mattress. To get this discount, enter code PRESDAY250 at checkout. 

Amerisleep offers a family of mattresses, each optimized for a different kind of sleeper. The AS3 (which Amerisleep says is its most popular model) is designed with support in mind. The AS2 is for back and stomach sleepers and is designed to alleviate back pain. The AS5 doubles down on memory foam, for an especially soft sleep experience. Prices on mattresses start at $849.

id=”article-body” class=”row” section=”article-body”> Robert Rodriguez/CNET Health officials around the world continue to battle an outbreak of respiratory disease, first detected in the central Chinese city of Wuhan in December. The causative agent was traced to a novel coronavirus, dubbed SARS-CoV-2, which has now infected more than 70,000 people in China and 우리카지노계열 claimed over 1,700 lives. 

The spate of illness was first reported to the World Health Organization on New Year’s Eve and in the following weeks was linked to a family of viruses known as coronaviruses, the same family responsible for the diseases SARS and MERS, as well as some cases of the common cold. On Feb. 11, WHO and other organizations agreed to name the new illness COVID-19 (for “coronavirus disease 2019”).

A special WHO committee declared a public health emergency on Jan. 30, citing “the potential for the virus to spread to countries with weaker health systems.” Human-to-human transmission has been confirmed, 우리카지노계열 including in the US, and authorities around the world have limited travel and enforced quarantines to guard against the spread.

Some of the world’s largest tech firms have been adversely affected by the outbreak, shutting down stores and factories in China. Barcelona’s Mobile World Congress, the world’s largest phone trade show, took the unprecedented step of cancelling the entire show on Feb. 12 due to growing concerns over the spread of the coronavirus.

Coronaviruses belong to a family known as Coronaviridae, and under an electron microscope they look like spiked rings. They’re named for these spikes, which form a halo or “crown” (corona is Latin for crown) around their viral envelope. 

Coronaviruses contain a single strand of RNA (as opposed to DNA, 우리카지노주소 which is double-stranded) within the envelope and, as a virus, can’t reproduce without getting inside living cells and hijacking their machinery. The spikes on the viral envelope help coronaviruses bind to cells, which gives them a way in, like blasting a door open with C4. Once inside, they turn the cell into a virus factory — the RNA and some enzymes use the cell’s molecular machinery to produce more viruses, which are then shipped out of the cell to infect other cells. Thus, the cycle starts anew.

id=”mod_44439278″>Las Vegas has moved far away from its beginning as verdant oasis in the middle of the desert. Las Vegas which literally translates to ‘the meadows’ was named by Spanish explorers in 1829 to reflect the fertile green meadows and happy streams that flowed from underground springs to create a fertile green oasis in Nevada’s Mojave Desert.

Today, the name Las Vegas elicits more risqué images than its translation suggests. The springs that gurgled through Las Vegas have long been depleted by the population boom that came following a brand of entertainment that has earned the city the moniker ‘city of sin’. Instead of wholesome, verdant images Las Vegas is now synonymous with gambling, strip clubs, prostitution and Elvis style weddings done on a drunken whim. Out of all these activities, gambling is the one that many people associate the city with. After all, the city’s other moniker is ‘gambling capital of the world’. There are however, other, shall we say, more wholesome things to do in Las Vegas that have nothing to do with gambling. Here are 5 of the best non-gambling things to do in Las Vegas for visitors who would prefer to keep their money away from the gambling machines and in their pockets.

Although it’s known as the gambling capital of the world, there are actually several great non gambling things to do in Las Vegas | Source 1. Horseback Ride Cowboy Style Through Red Rock Canyon

If you’ve ever had dreams of making like a cowboy and reliving the wild frontier days depicted in western movies and novels, Las Vegas is just the place to make them come true. Leave the lights and money grabbing slot machines of the city behind and join a truly unique cowboy trip through the stunning Red Rock Canyon.

Red Rock Canyon lies just 20 miles away from the Las Vegas Strip and is stunning because of its drastic natural formations.The bright red cliffs formed from red sandstone, stands beside yellow and brown rocky mountains thousands of feet high and provide shade to cactus, yucca and other bristled desert plants.

Climb up the rocky trails on horseback with real horse wranglers who provide guidance to novice and experienced riders. Before you get to the very top where the payoff will be breathtaking views of the city and the mountains, stop and camp out for lunch in the wild just like real cowboys did in the days when week long rides were the norm. The only thing missing will be invading Indians or outlaw cowboys! Check out cowboytrailrides.com for good packages.

If long hours on a horse isn’t your thing, the Red Rock Canyon is a popular hiking spot so well marked trails, maps and other activities are available. Particularly interesting is the historic Petroglyph Wall hike with its 800 hundred years old carvings on the rock. Plan a trip at redrockcanyon.org.

2. Marvel at Criminal Masterminds at Mob Museum

Tied as the mob is to the birth of Las Vegas’ gambling industry, it may seem disingenuous to include this museum on a list of non-gambling things to do in Las Vegas. However, the mob is so inextricably tied to Las Vegas’ history that even if just for historical reasons this museum deserves a visit.

It could easily be argued that the mob helped create Las Vegas by using illegal gains to front the legitimate businesses and resorts that would lay the foundation for the Las Vegas of today. The Mob Museum makes this argument and makes it well in its interactive displays that will entertain and teach those who are interested in this part of American history.

For the history buff, the movie buff and the curious, the museum is a treasure trove on all things mob. Fans of infamous mob figures will enjoy the displays of information on men whose names were once whispered with fear. Al Capone, Lucky Luciano and Frank Costello are just a few of those featured. In addition to major mafia players, some major events in mob history are explained and exhibited in a way that will excite fans of the mafia period of American history. Notable is Chicago’s 1929 Valentine’s Day Massacre. On that bloody day seven men were lined up in front of a wall in Chicago and assassinated a result of war between rival mob families in Chicago. The wall where the assassinations took place and even some of the bullets from the day are all on display.

Other displays include original paraphernalia from famous mob movies and shows like The Godfather and The Sopranos. The mob Museum is located right in the middle of all the action in downtown Las Vegas, get information on tickets and opening hours at themobmuseum.org

3. Cool Down at Boulder Beach

“A beach in the desert?”

“Not really”

Boulder Beach is really part of Las Vegas’ largest man-made lake called Lake Mead. A small section of the lake has been outfitted with sand to give the beach experience. Regardless of the technicalities, Boulder Beach is an excellent way to cool off on one of Las Vegas’ hot days. The actual sandy part of the beach is narrow, but the water is cool and inviting for swimming or just splashing around with the kids. The whole area is a peaceful respite from the busy strip and good for spending a few hours just sitting by the water getting a tan and watching seagulls and boats go by. Make it a whole day affair, and pack a lunch which you can later eat at the picnic area.

Boulder Beach is located in the Lake Mead Recreational Area, about 30 minutes from the Las Vegas strip. Plan a trip at nps.gov

4. Hike Ancient Trails at Valley of Fire State Park

The Valley of Fire State Park is a bit further away from the heart of Las Vegas than the other places on this list, but is one of those places that every visitor must visit at least once. Like Red Rock Canyon, the 40,000 acres of land that make up the park consists of fiery red mountains made of red sandstone. The name Fire State Park is said to have been influenced by a passerby who noted that the area seemed like it was on fire because of the red rock. Apart from the stunning views of fiery red mountains, the park is filled with birds, rare wildlife like the desert tortoise, artifacts and historic carvings from ancient civilizations.

By far, the best way to see these sights is by hiking one of the ancient trails (the park dates from the Jurassic period) which are marked and documented by maps found throughout the park and at the visitor center.

5. Operate a Real Bulldozer at Dig This

Dig This Las Vegas is probably one of the coolest non gambling activities in Las Vegas. The concept behind Dig It is unadulterated childhood fun and will appeal to all the grown-up kids who dreamed of wearing a hard hat and operating an excavator or bulldozer as children.

Wreck, dig, stack and do whatever else you desire on a real excavator or bulldozer. The journey begins with your choice of vehicle, then it’s on to get fitted into a real hard hat and neon yellow jacket. After that, instructors give lessons on how to operate the levers and buttons that make your vehicle sing. Once you feel safe operating the gigantic machines, its time for the fun to begin under the watchful guidance of your trainers.

Some of the things the machines can do, with your help is stack tires, dig huge trenches, build mounds and more. For 우리카지노계열 more information, visit digthisvegas.com

This list of fun non-gambling things to do in Las Vegas is proof that what happens in Vegas doesn’t have to stay in Vegas. If you plan on visiting the city, try a few of them. Your pockets may just thank you. Happy travels!

id=”article-body” class=”row” section=”article-body”> The Nintendo PlayStation. 

Heritage Auctions The Nintendo PlayStation. It sounds wrong, like an Apple Galaxy S10 or something. But it’s a real thing, and not even the result of some kind of apocalyptic black magic. And not only does the Nintendo PlayStation exist, you can buy one — for an exorbitant price. The game system, developed around 1990, is currently up for auction at Heritage Auctions. At the time of publishing the current bid is $420,000 (including a 20% buyer’s fee). 

The Nintendo PlayStation (known at the time as the Play Station) was a collaboration between Nintendo and Sony in the late 1980s and early ’90s. Sony wanted into the booming video games business, so it struck a deal with Nintendo to forge the Super Disc format. An add-on to the SNES would allow it to play disc-based games (as well as music CDs), and a separate system made by Sony would play both discs and cartridges. That system was the Nintendo PlayStation.

But it wasn’t to be. A day after Sony announced its partnership with Nintendo at CES 1991, Nintendo revealed it had struck a deal with Phillips for a CD-based gaming platform. The result was the Phillips CD-i, home to such luminaries as Hotel Mario, Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda: 우리카지노주소 The Wand of Gamelon — considered three of the worst games of all time. 

Sony was scorned but not soured on video games. Three years later, it realized its disc-based gaming dreams with the PlayStation, a console that you may say went on to have some success. 

The Nintendo PlayStation is very, very cool, but I can only think of a handful of other people who think it is $300k worth of cool. pic.twitter.com/caEiPlrtO6

— Palmer Luckey (@PalmerLuckey) February 14, 우리카지노 2020 There were said to be 200 prototype units of the Nintendo PlayStation before the partnership was torched, with this apparently being the last surviving one. Heritage Auctions says the console still works and that it tested this by playing “a few rounds” of Mortal Kombat.

id=”article-body” class=”row” section=”article-body”> Add a second phone number to your phone with Hushed.  

Hushed One phone gets you one phone number, right? Actually, it’s possible to add a second line, which can be useful in all kinds of ways: business, dating, selling stuff on Craigslist and so on. There’s a good free option in the form of Google Voice, but I’m going to make the case for this instead: ZDNet Academy is offering a lifetime subscription to second-line service Hushed for $21.25 with promo code PRESIDENT15. Note that this is an update of a deal from last year; it was $1.25 cheaper then, but that’s hardly a dealbreaker.

See it at ZDNet AcademyIf you’ve never used a second-line app before, it works like this: You choose a new number to use with Hushed. When someone calls that number, 우리카지노계열 your phone rings (duh). To make a call, you use the Hushed app instead of the stock dialer.

Messaging works pretty much the same way, and Hushed offers some noteworthy capabilities in this side of the app: group chat, burnable messages (meaning they’re deleted after being read) and, perhaps most important, end-to-end encrypted messaging. That puts Hushed on par with Signal, except that the former has “no affiliation with any major corporations and [is] in no way beholden to anyone,” according to a company rep. 

Hushed also offers features like autoreplies to text messages, custom voicemail, Slack integration (you can send texts directly from it) and support for syncing messages and voicemail to a Dropbox account.

Stuff like that helps justify paying $21 for Hushed instead of $0 for Google Voice. I’ve used both, 우리카지노 and while the latter can definitely get the job done, the UI is clunky, if not downright confusing in places. That said, I recommend reading the user reviews for the iOS and Android versions of the app, depending on which you’ll be using. Hushed has a 4.6-star rating on the iOS side, but only 3.7 stars on Android. (I use the former; no complaints to speak of.)

It’s worth noting that this lifetime subscription limits you to “a combination of 6,000 SMS or 1,000 phone minutes per year.” That’s probably more than enough for most users, but Google Voice has no such limitations. Be sure to read the full description on the product page so you know exactly what you’re getting — especially the part about keeping your subscription active.

I won’t say Hushed is perfect, but for $21, for life, it’s a pretty killer deal. No other second-line service comes close, price-wise.
