Built on an abandoned waterfront pier, Nomadic Museum, a 67-foot-wide by 672-foot-long, privately-funded traveling museum is made of 148 stacked steel cargo shipping containers. Designed by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban, exhibition, Ashes and Snow, consists of portraits taken by Canadian-born artist Gregory Colbert.

Elementary school teacher, Heidi Laudien, 38, said she plans to bring her students to sight.

"I love idea of a museum made from recycled materials and I want my kids to see that creative part of exhibit and how it illustrates transience of space," she said.

The exhibit and museum will be displayed through June 6 in 45,000-square-foot temporary structure. Afterwards, it will be dismantled and resurrected in Santa Monica, Calif, then off to Vatican City in 2006, as it continues on its nomadic adventure.

Colbert is no stranger to traveling either. His work features portraits of exotic animals and natives from his visits to places like India, Egypt, Burma, Sri Lanka, Kenya and Ethiopia.

His sepia colored photographs are printed on leather looking parchment paper and held up by wires and hanging on an invisible wall along lengths of pier. The scenes depicted include large animals like elephants, whales, manatees, eagles, with much smaller mammals and children.

What are satellites and how do they work? Basically a satellite is a way to enter a major tournament and play for big money without having to pay large buy-in required. For example, buy-in for World Series of Poker (WSOP) is $10,000. An on-line poker room could sponser a tournament with a $1,350 buy-in (they will also charge somewhere around 9-10% for a registration fee). For every 10 players in tournament there would be a prize pool of $13,500, enough for single buy-in to WSOP and some extra for spending money. So for a $1,350 you could win your entry to major tournament. If there are 100 players then players who finish in one of top 10 positions would be on their way to Las Vegas and a chance at $10,000,000, estimated top prize in this years tournament.

A thousand dollars is still a little steep if you ask me but you're dying to play in WSOP. So you go to an online poker site like Royal Vegas Poker. There, they have a way for you to make it to World Series for as little as $1. It takes six steps and works like this:

Step 1: You pay a $1 buy-in and a $.10 registration fee. You play against ten other players. If you come in first or second you've made it to step two.

Step 2: You enter this tournament by either coming in first or second in step 1 or by directly buying in for $5 + $0.50. Come in first or second and you move on to step three. Come in third and you get to play level 2 again free.
