Now that Christmas has passed us we can now focus on redoing our bathroom completely from top to bottom. We are looking into getting a nice looking vanity and we heard that MaxFurniture.com has the best deals on bathroom vanities. If you know me and my habits on how I spend my money wisely then you know that by me visiting their site I will most likely be purchasing on of their bathroom vanity sets. If you're waiting to upgrade your bathroom with something much better and still save you money then please visit them and browse through the many sets and deals that they offer. With next year upon us I can almost hear my wife asking if we can upgrade our bedroom furniture as well. We currently have a queen size platform bed and I have to admit that I do miss having a real bounce when I sit down or climb into bed. Yes a platform bed is cheaper then most beds but I can get myself a great bedroom set that would include the bed and an excellent dresser. They are currently running a Winter Sale that ends on January 2nd of 09 which can save you from 45% to 75% off retail prices. Please stop reading and click on the link above to get a first hand look at their inventory and the great prices.
Sammy looking to return...
It's been a while since we've seen the great one smack one out of the park but it might be sooner then later that that image will be back. Sosa is currently fit to return to MLB and he wants to come back in full force and from what people have seen he looks to be in great shape especially when it comes to his hitting. I would be really excited to see him sport a red "B" but I don't know if Boston would even throw a bid for his skills. Check out the full story at this link and give it a complete read so that you can get a full view of what he is planning on doing. If any Red Sox decision makers are reading this (yeah right) please send Mr. Sosa a bid and who knows maybe he'll come on over.It's coming right around the corner...
That's right - CHRISTMAS! I don't know how those of you reading this poast celebrate but here in the Roman home we like to gather just about the entire family and have what we have tried now for the third year in a row is a gift exchanges. Most families do the traditional presents for everyone while there might be a few others that practice the same idea we do except that we throw in a huge dinner right afterwards. Kind of like Thanksgiving except it's in December. Now for the past we years my wife and kids have decorated the tree and the table where the family will be sitting to enjoy the feast. This year I plan on getting a few Christmas gift baskets and placing one on each end of the table. Better yet I might want to go ahead and get a centerpiece that would bring the attention of the room straight to it. If you have a tradition that doesn't include some gorgeous flowers from 1800flowers.com. Please visit their site and place your order just in time for delivery before it's too late. The last thing you want is to be in charge of decorating and not falling through on a spectacular display. Visit today and Happy Holidays.
PlayStation Home...
Well it's finally going to happen - Sony has decided to go ahead and release the online 3-D social networking service known as PlayStation Home. I remember when SEGA had their deal with certain cable companies when presenting the SEGA channel and yes I know that the two aren't the same thing but if you remember way back when the channel was introduced it lasted roughly a few months before it strted to go downhill. Some saw it as an issue with the family some said that the price that was being paid was too much especially knowing that the games offered weren't all that great.
I guess only time will tell if this brand new venture for Sony wil help or hurt them.
Sony officials say they don’t expect an immediate payoff from Home. Their plan is to offer Home as a free software download to all PS3 users, and to charge gaming companies and other brands to create shops, sell goods, host events and advertise.Now I know that I don't own a PS3 and I can mention about ten others that don't either because of the price for one of those bad boys but do they have something for those who don't have one but are devoted PlayStation fan?
It’s unclear what impact the delays will have on Home. The original plan was to have Home ready by autumn 2007. Sony Computer Entertainment chief Kaz Hirai announced the first delay in October, 2007. The company had expected Home to be ready by April of this year, but instead announced another delay. In late August, the company started inviting a limited number of users for a trial.
I guess only time will tell if this brand new venture for Sony wil help or hurt them.
Bringing the new look back...
We are currently in the midst of Winter and from what I've seen throughout my neighborhood it looks like half of us need new vinyl shutters. I am telling the truth here, most of them have shutters but they look like they have seen way too many Winters or any other season for that matter. On my home I don't have shutters but I can tell you that if I did it would easily bring the look of my home up by a huge percentage. Don't wait until your home becomes a statistic where it's being evaluated by others based solely on your shutters. Visit the site and get that new look to accent your home today.
Getting another win...
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -- Unheralded Shaun Hill upstaged Brett Favre with two touchdown passes Sunday when the San Francisco 49ers upended the visiting New York Jets 24-14. Hill, now 4-0 as a starter, was 28-of-29 passing for 285 yards and tossed TD passes to Bryant Johnson and Frank Thomas, who left the game with an ankle injury in the third quarter.
Favre was 20-of-31 for 137 and was intercepted once as the Jets (8-5) remained in a three-way tie with Miami and New England for first place in the AFC East. The loss was Favre's first ever against the Niners and snapped a four-game road winning streak for the Jets.
Thomas Jones ran for 56 yards and a touchdown that gave him 14 for the season and tied the Jets' record for TDs in a season.
A 32-yard field goal by San Francisco's Joe Nedney broke a 14-14 tie early in the fourth quarter. The 49ers (5-8) put the game away with a lengthy scoring drive capped by Hill's 3-yard TD pass to Johnson with 6:05 to play.
It's always a good feeling to know and see your team win a game - especially when facing the Jets with the newly acquired Brett Favre at the helm.
The look of the game could of been worse then what happened but it's a good thing that the Niners calmed down a bit because they could of mad the final a much larger lead. Even though I'm happy for the win but by them winning they helped out New England clinch their side. I'm not a Patriots fan but I have to admit whether or not they make it, I don't think they'll get passed Tennessee. I'll leave that for another day though.
:)
GREAT JOB 49ers!!!

Bending is not enough...
DETROIT (UPI) -- United Automobile Workers said they would rather bend than break, offering concessions to U.S. automakers on the eve of bailout hearings in Washington.
Executives from General Motors Corp, Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler LLC were scheduled to appear at Thursday hearings to ask for about $38 billion to get them through tough times.
Meeting in Detroit Wednesday, union leaders said they would suspend the controversial "jobs bank" that pays laid off workers 85 percent of their salaries, The New York Times reported.
Union president Ron Gettelfinger also said the union would allow automakers to postpone payments to a multibillion-dollar healthcare plan for retirees.
But Washington Democrats said critical votes for a bailout were still lacking.
"It's going to take (President George) Bush and (President-elect Barack) Obama calling people," a Democratic aide told the Times.
With new business plans in hand, auto executives have said they would make further production cuts, eliminate some brands and focus on more fuel-efficient cars.
Federal assistance should be based on "a realistic plan for how we're going to make these companies viable over the long term," Obama said.
What the Unions need to do is cut back on workers as well as cutting back on the huge wage that isn't helping the company any. It's bad enough that the top three have to find ways to make their vehicles more tempting by offering delayed payments and more incentives.
Other car companies have a good car where in some cases at half the price then those offered by anyone else. How is a company going to compete if that's where the starting point is and the top three others are in dead last place. I beleive they need to fail and file for bankruptcy so that they have to be forced to sit down and trim down what they have so that they can at least have a decent run in this future vehicle race.

The Fast and the Curious...
The title should have your attention automatically get it "automatically" - okay maybe it's a bad joke but the title does have that catch to it. You think your ride is fast now but you're still curious if it can go just a bit faster, right? Well now you can answer that very question by checking out TurboChargerPros.com today and looking through their huge inventory for that special part or parts that will elevate you to the next speed bracket. I myself own a 1990 Cavalier - I have seen this type of car charged before so I plan on spending some time at TurboChargerPros.com and see if they can set me up with some new toys. Now I know I won't be able to handle anaudi turbocharger but I would love something just as fast though. Quit reading and visit today.
A different look on the future...
I received the pics above from a friend and from what I saw it does look cool but is this really the direction we want to go. Check out the pics and let me know what you think. I would love to test drive the vehicle below...No steering wheel; you drive it with a joystick. No pedals either.
Can you drive with a joystick? Our children and grandchildren probably can.
The influence of video games in our lives has really arrived, wouldn't you say?
SCARY THOUGHT THAT NOW A 7 YEAR OLD COULD STEAL YOUR CAR AND PROBABLY DRIVE IT BETTER THAN YOU.
Thinking of the hunters in your family...
Or better yet think of the friends that you know that have been hunting for years now and you;ve seen their equipment - and from what you have probably seen thay might need some new gear. With it being December you can easily try a Nikon Hunting Christmas Promotion to find that family member or friend exactly what they need whether it's a new scope or maybe a DVD that can improve the skills they have right now so that a day out hunting won't be an empty one. Please visit the site and be overwhelmed at all the deals/packages they have to offer you right before Christmas.
Back in the day...
The phrase "Back in the day" comes up a bit when either families are having a festive gathering or when an individual is having a conversation with someone. I have had moments when I feel that no matter what I do I can't seem to do anything right - and the first thing that comes to mind is maybe an old friend from back in the day that would be there to tell you that it's going to be fine so don't worry about it. I read an article the other day that would be nice to see done more and more herr in the US. Give the following a read and leave me a comment regarding what you read...
SOUTHAMPTON, England (UPI) -- Nostalgia amplifies perceptions of social support, and in this way, counteracts feelings of loneliness, British and Chinese researchers said.
Constantine Sedikides and Tim Wildschut from the University of Southampton, England, and Xinyue Zhou and Ding-Guo Gao from Sun Yat-Sen University, in China, ran a series of experiments that had participants answer questions related to feelings of loneliness, social support and nostalgia.
The study participants included children, college students and factory workers. In addition, the factory workers were also assessed on their resilience -- their ability to recover from traumatic events and adverse life situations.
The study, published in Psychological Science, found individuals who felt the loneliest reported receiving the least amount of social support.
However, when nostalgia was induced in a number of the study participants, they in turn perceived to have the greatest amount of social support.
These findings suggest nostalgia boosts perceptions of social support, and in this way, mitigates feelings of loneliness. In addition, the findings revealed that the most resilient individuals are more likely to use nostalgia to overcome feelings of loneliness.

A meeting worth remembering...
There are a few company owners out there that don't know the existance of PPS (Peak Performance Services) and to this date they try to put together an escape for their employees and staff that pretty much ends in disappointment. What they need to do is look up PPS under Corporate Incentive Travel and finally present to their employees/staff how appreciative they are of them. They can easily start with one of the simple Cruise incentives which I can safely assume will be wonderful for those hard working individuals who need that broad escape. Most Corporate incentive travel companies try to compete with PPS but from what I read on their site as far as their services and the testimonials I have to admit that they are going to be a company that will be hard to beat now or in the future. If you are currently looking to spruce up you're meetings whether their for business or appreciation please take a few minutes and visit Peak Performance's website and get a clear picture of their services and please read what others have written about them as well.

Knowing what you saw...
Winter is right around the corner and for those who know me you know what this means - that's right, nice bright white snow and me having trouble seeing when I'm driving. I am willing to continue to save my family money by purchasing a new pair of eyeglasses because the ones I have aren't strong enough for me. If I'm going to buy a pair I might as well get some that isn't going to hurt the wallet. The family and I have been pinching pennies in order to go on a nice vacation trip next year. We know that this Winter will be interesting enough so we are planning on visiting Puerto Rico next year around this time so that we can actually enjoy some warm air and avoid the bright white snow.
We have on our list for next Spring a nice large yard sale that can help me get my garage back to what it used to be and at the same time help my wife and kids reduce their clutter of "stuff". With a pair of eye glasses from Zennioptical I know that I can get a good quality set and not spend way too much. Check them out today and be sure to mention it to your friends and family because you know that there's a me in your world - don't deny it.

Bring the proof...
This next section is from UPI...
I have stated many times on this blog as well as other sport and nonsport blogs that if the man is dirty then please present the proof that doesn't extend to just words from people that might not have too good of a reliable background.
The man is innocent until "proven" guilty not considered guilty or assumed guilty. Bring the proof to the light and let's see it otherwise shut the piehole and remove the charges.
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -- Barry Bonds wants a U.S. judge in California to dismiss most of the charges he faces from the steroids scandal, the San Jose (Calif.) Mercury News reported.
The charges, all felonies, stem from his grand jury testimony in the probe of BALCO, the lab cited for steroids distribution in 2003.
Bonds, 44, became major league baseball's all-time home run leader when he hit his 762nd round-tripper in the 2007 season, but was not signed in 2008 by any team.
He has denied knowingly taking illegal performance-enhancing substances.
The newspaper reported six lawyers representing him said in a pretrial motion Wednesday that 10 of the 15 counts Bonds faces should be dismissed for a variety of reasons, including one claiming that some of the questions posed to Bonds in the grand jury session were "fundamentally ambiguous."
The lawyers argued before U.S. District Judge Susan Illston in San Francisco.
Bonds faces up to 30 months in prison if he is convicted.

Can't wait until next season
This season just ended for paintball gaming and tournaments with many of the team players wanting a new look that would bring their mood up just in time for next season. I tried to tell them that even though they did not make it to the tournament they weren't going to win hardly any of the matches before next years big match by simply looking cooler with Galco holsters. Knowing them they'll buy a bunch of these to later find out that they don't work for the guns they have now :) - What they should get is the black hat that can give them the added cover when in the woods especially Steve with his bright red hair. Check out the site and see if you can find something for your friends that might be in the paintballing world.
Good and not good...
Last nights game was fun to watch but at the same time it wasn't - most of you know that I'm a Bulls fan till the end. Most of you also know that I'm a big fan of King James as well - watching was a bit confusing because found myself yelling at the tv for Chicago to put a little more pressure on Cleveland and not allow the easy scores while cheering James on getting a nice shot off. If someone would of been listening they would of thought that I had either lost it mentally or just a nut sports fan that was undecided.
:)
The following report is from UPI's site - a great break down - give it a read and if you have any comments on the game last night please feel free to leave me a note saying so.
CLEVELAND (UPI) -- LeBron James poured in 41 points Wednesday and Cleveland used a run late in the second quarter to knock off Chicago 107-93.
James made 13 of 23 shots from the field and 15 of 16 from the line while grabbing nine rebounds and handing out six assists. Both teams came into the game with 2-2 marks in the early going this season.
Delonte West added 16 for the Cavaliers and Zydrunas Ilgauskas had 15.
The Bulls were within four points with three minutes remaining in the first half, but Cleveland went on a 12-4 run that gave the Cavaliers a 57-45 advantage at the break. Chicago came no closer than seven points during the final two quarters.
Ben Gordon led Chicago with 31 points.

Here is another warning from a very knowledgeable person from the Hollywood sector that is not a preaching Democrat. His words are spooky.
Grim predictions
The writer of this essay is Jerry Molen, an Academy Award winning Hollywood Producer, who produced Jurassic Park, Hook, Rain Man and many more classy movies, and who won the Academy Award for Schindler's List. Jerry is one of the very few conservatives in Hollywood - but wants to include Democrats. He says:
We are about to make the Mother-of-All-Mistakes, because the Republican Party gave us no reliable alternative. If the conservative movement does not rally behind the only alternative left to us, this country will become a true Socialist State within the next two Presidential terms.
Ladies and Gentleman, this is the most grave situation this nation has faced in my lifetime. We just experienced an over-hyped, outrageous primary election season that has left me wondering where the heads of our citizens are hiding - must be someplace where the sun doesn't go very often.
At one time in my life I was a determined, dedicated and ever-loyal registered Democrat. Then something happened - Lyndon Baines Johnson - that turned my life around and gave me pause for the veracity of a party that lives and feeds off of the most unfortunate among us. Some of them are in their positions in life by their own choosing, others by outside circumstance. But always, always there was a door open to them, to reach for new heights, achieve new goals, change their lives for the better. Similarly, there have always been the bottom feeders, doing what they could to take advantage of those who had not or have not seen better days, nor realized that they in fact were the masters of their own destiny - these unfortunates had come to believe that they were dependent on people in Washington, who would look out for and take care of them. They waited and still wait for all those promised freebies.
Most people don't reflect upon the fact that the Democrats ruled Washington for over 40 years; it wasn't until 1994 when the so-called Gingrich Revolution changed - but only for a while. These same people do not realize that it was the Democrats who created the failed policies of the entitlement programs that are now falling apart before our eyes.
Do not think I find the Republicans blameless in all this. They, too, suffer from the ego and greed built into our system. But in the past few months I have listened with growing horror to the railings of the left, calling for yet more giveaways, more promises of a proverbial 'free lunch.' What sums up my feelings, why I am appalled by those in political power is contained within a quote by basketball legend and talk show host Charles Barkley: 'Poor people have been voting for Democrats for the last fifty years....and they are still poor.'
Now, with our elections, come yet more new promises of 'change:' 'change we can believe in,' 'hope for the future'. But if you really, I mean REALLY listen to what the new messiah is asking for, it is not 'change of policy' or 'change for the better' - this is a warning that he wants our change. And the change you will get will not be the change you expected or wanted.
I leave you my predictions of what will happen if the junior Senator from Illinois becomes President - especially if the House and Senate are veto-proof Democrat:
1). Strict gun laws, though he promised he would not.
2). 'In God We Trust' will be removed from all currency.
3). He will renege on his pledge to Israel and leave them to the wolves of Islam.
4). Hillary Clinton will be named to the Supreme Court.
5). Tax rates will surge to the highest levels in 30 years.
6). Capital gains tax will be at least double current levels.
7). Retired Army General Wesley Clark will be named Secretary of Defense.
8). Our borders will be open to all comers - especially from the Middle East and South America .
9). Amnesty will be granted to all illegals in the U.S, regardless of status or even gang membership (think MS-13).
10). Our presence in Iraq will come to an abrupt end - with tragic results to their citizens and devastating consequences to our military.
My predictions will not sit well with some people - the best we could hope for is that I am wrong.
Any bets?

Similarly, there have always been the bottom feeders, doing what they could to take advantage of those who had not or have not seen better days, nor realized that they in fact were the masters of their own destiny - these unfortunates had come to believe that they were dependent on people in Washington, who would look out for and take care of them. They waited and still wait for all those promised freebies.
Most people don't reflect upon the fact that the Democrats ruled Washington for over 40 years; it wasn't until 1994 when the so-called Gingrich Revolution changed - but only for a while. These same people do not realize that it was the Democrats who created the failed policies of the entitlement programs that are now falling apart before our eyes.
Do not think I find the Republicans blameless in all this. They, too, suffer from the ego and greed built into our system. But in the past few months I have listened with growing horror to the railings of the left, calling for yet more giveaways, more promises of a proverbial 'free lunch.' What sums up my feelings, why I am appalled by those in political power is contained within a quote by basketball legend and talk show host Charles Barkley: 'Poor people have been voting for Democrats for the last fifty years....and they are still poor.'
Now, with our elections, come yet more new promises of 'change:' 'change we can believe in,' 'hope for the future'. But if you really, I mean REALLY listen to what the new messiah is asking for, it is not 'change of policy' or 'change for the better' - this is a warning that he wants our change. And the change you will get will not be the change you expected or wanted.
I leave you my predictions of what will happen if the junior Senator from Illinois becomes President - especially if the House and Senate are veto-proof Democrat:
1). Strict gun laws, though he promised he would not.
2). 'In God We Trust' will be removed from all currency.
3). He will renege on his pledge to Israel and leave them to the wolves of Islam.
4). Hillary Clinton will be named to the Supreme Court.
5). Tax rates will surge to the highest levels in 30 years.
6). Capital gains tax will be at least double current levels.
7). Retired Army General Wesley Clark will be named Secretary of Defense.
8). Our borders will be open to all comers - especially from the Middle East and South America .
9). Amnesty will be granted to all illegals in the U.S, regardless of status or even gang membership (think MS-13).
10). Our presence in Iraq will come to an abrupt end - with tragic results to their citizens and devastating consequences to our military.
My predictions will not sit well with some people - the best we could hope for is that I am wrong.
Any bets?
We are only a few weeks away...
With the month of October just about half way through you and I know that the most entertaining holiday of the year is just around the corner - that's right Halloween. I have not found the right Halloween Costumes yet that my wife and I would like but if I had to pick one for just myself I would have to say that the Pinhead character from Hellraiser costume would be my first pick. I have loved watching the Clive Barker flicks for years now. My wife loves to watch them as well especially when it's time to collect the bodies/souls towards the end of the movie. If you plan on looking for something that fits your character or your lifestyle please visit HalloweenAdventure.com today and view the many catagories of costumes. If it's a favorite show on television don't worry, visit the site and see if they have it. If it's a movie character that you seek then like I said previously, visit their site and simply click on the desired link. Maybe you know someone who is undecided and might need a little help - simply send them to the HalloweenAdventure.com site to get the answer their looking for.
We're at 2-1 for now...
I thought for sure that the Red Sox would of come out swinging after losing game 2 but it didn't even look like they even showed up. I don't know about you guys but it didn't look like Lester found his groove thoughout the night. Game four is just around the corner so let's hope they can get themselves focused so that they don't give the Rays a 3-1 lead. Tampa Bay at Boston tomorrow @ 8:07 PM I won't be able to watch it but I will be looking on ESPN.com's site for up to the minute stats.They are family too...
I learned a valuable lesson the last time I went on vacation. I decided to go on vacation for a few days and thought that if I left enough food out for the dog that she would be ok. Well let's just say that I came home to explosion - my living room was a mess as well as my bedroom. Well it didn't click in my mind that an unsupervised dog is a call for trouble. Don't be an idiot like me and have your dog enjoy a vacation as well at one of the many Dog Boarding facilities in your area or in the city in which you are visiting. Check them out today.
Maybe next time...
I was unable to watch the game but from what I saw during the rewind presentation on SportsCenter it didn't look like a game that would of excited me. All I can do now is sit back and welcome the next opponent with open arms and an ax to grind - we need a win fellas. Pull those straps on tight and let's see what we can do better on the next one.

What do the Dallas Cowboys and Jimmy John's have in common?
VOTER FRAUD - Well not them per say but it looks like the group known as ACORN has done some work in helping people register to vote and within the 5000 or so entries it looks like a good chuck of those submitted may be disqualified. I'm sorry but when the reporter on the video that's linked at the bottom of this post finds one that says Jimmy John's that's when I say that some people are about as dumb as a box or buttons. The address was in fact the address to one of the JJ franchises. The fact that ACORN stands behind their quality check and still has that many go through simply tells me that they are not truly checking them or if they are then they have a crew of dunmb asses. Watch the video by CNN and see it for yourself.

At it again...
I don't understand how this guy can get into the rouble he does and still manages to to keep his job. It's reported that the recent incident isn't that bad - it's minor. I don't care if it's minor the point is and should always be keep your nose clean and stay focused on your career and not the bad habits that may or may not consume you. The following is from a reliable source (UPI) read it and see for yourself how they (the team) are trying to brush this off as something that should worry us and that we should just understand that things happen.
IRVING, Texas (UPI) -- Dallas Cowboys Coach Wade Phillips said Thursday he expects Adam Jones to play Sunday despite the cornerback's alleged involvement in a fight this week.
Jones, who served a one-year suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, reportedly became involved in an incident with one of his bodyguards while they were at a Dallas hotel Tuesday night.
Police were called to the scene, but no arrests were made and no charges filed.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the player and his personal security guard were "kidding around."
"It went a little too far," the team owner said. "It went over the boundary. They resolved it and went home."
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said the league was gathering information.
"We're trying to determine all the facts," Goodell said. "It's clear there was some type of incident."

Doesn't look too bad for Sunday...
In case you're wondering what I'm talking about just look at the image to the left. Okay now that you know what's going on I'm going to go right to Sunday's game that brings the 49ers and Patriots head to head in Candlestick Park. With me living in the mid-west (Ohio) and the fact that the local stations only display local teams on television I'm pretty sure that the Niners game will not be shown here. Which is a drag but I have grown to deal with it - there are those rare occasion when they play the Browns and the Bengals but that doesn't happen too often. Okay back to the game at hand, I'm not sure how the Pats are doing without their main man Brady but what I do know is that they had their butts handed to them by the Dolphins (my wife's favorite team - Hi Baby) not too long ago - so I"m hoping for a similar performance by the Pats when coming to Cali to face the Niners. With Mike Nolan at the helm I'm confident that the boys in red and gold will not go down with out a good fight. Good Luck men and see you on Sunday!Trying to locate them...
Have you ever received a phone call when you have just fallen sleep and it feels like you're night will be an awesome one and then the phone rings with some knucklehead at the other end trying to trick you and get you upset?

I know I have a few myself to share so I'll be stopping by myself.
A complete shocker...
Well I would to say first and foremost - Congrats to the Fang Tribe for not only winning the Reward Challenge but the Immunity Challenge as well. I did enjoy watching the episode because they did catch me off guard. They performed well and did not look back when it came right down to fighting for what you want. Can't wait until next week's episode.

Last week's episode...
I did not get a chance to watch the first episode of Survivor last week because I was in Puerto Rico but I was able to watch it with my wife on Monday the 29th on the Survivor website. I did not know what to expect but at first but soon after they had selected the teams I knew that the one team Fang was in a world of hurt. These folks were destined to fail due to the fact that they worked as individuals and not as a team. They didn't even know who would be a great leader for them. Well wouldn't you know it - they lost both challenges and were forced to vote out one of their own twice. Tonight will be an interesting night because not only do they continue the seperate thinking but they still do not have a leader. Can't wait to see the self destruction happen.
Getting the extra help...
Most people out there are probably trying to figure out how to find out details of someone who just prank called them in the middle of the night, while others would like a little more detail or information on other numbers that may not actually be prank call numbers. A Reverse Phone Registry can help you as a business owner where a simple background check just isn't enough. Check the site out and see if their service can help you.
A strong love...
I just got done watching a video of a man that almost lost his dog to a shark - yes a shark. The thought of involving yourself to help a fellow family member might come as a surprise to some people but for this gentleman it wasn't something worth pondering. He quickly sprung into action and saved the dog from the jaws of the shark by punching the shark hard enough so that it would release its' grip. I would probably act the same way for my dog but there are some times where I might not because the dog was a bit of a pain that day or something but if it was any of my family members I would definitely do something to help them. Watch the video and see for yourself the love that he has for his dog.

Michigan coming through after all...
This past weekend was a bit busy with me being Puerto Rico and all so I was unable to catch the game that from what I saw on Sports Center was one to watch. I know that Michigan has a history of coming from behind but coming from behind and actually getting the win feels great. Now that I'm back in the US I plan on catching the game this coming weekend. Hope to see the other die had fans supporting the team on tv. Great job Michigan!
ANN ARBOR, Mich. - David Gilreath caught a touchdown pass with 13 seconds left but eighth-ranked Wisconsin failed on a two-point try and Michigan posted a 27-25 upset.
Wisconsin committed a penalty on its first two-point try and failed in its next attempt to enable the Michigan Wolverines to overcome a 19-point halftime deficit.
Wisconsin was trailing 27-19 before Allan Evridge hit Gilreath on a 22-yard scoring strike. The Badgers converted the first two-point try, but an illegal receiver down field nullified the tying score.
Brandon Graham had two forced fumbles and three sacks for the Wolverines (2-2, 1-0 Big Ten). John Thompson added a 25-yard interception return for a touchdown for the victors.
Michigan gained only 19 yards and turned the ball over five times in the first half. Brandon Minor and Sam McGuffie each scored rushing touchdowns and Kevin Koger caught a 26-yard TD pass in the win.
Looking up at you...
How many of you young men out there are trying to get that extra growth spurt to hurry up and arrive?
How many of you guys are trying to get that date with that special someone but you don't think you have what it takes?
If the guys reading this post answered the questions above with a strong yes then let me introduce to you an outlet that can increasing your height up to 6 inches. Maxagen® Human Pro-Growth Hormone is a tested product that focuses on the body giving it a second chance to develop another growth spurt. I've always been 5'6" ever since high school so knowing that I can possibly increase my height by a few more inches is completely surprising to me. I remember watching an old episode of the Brady Bunch where Bobby decides to hang from his closet pole in order to grow taller. Yes I know that in the real world that doesn't really happen but the thought remained in the back of my head since then. If you're currently training for a sport like basketball you might want to give this a try and who knows I just might see you in NBA. Now I would like to also mention that this has been known to be used by women as well so for those of reading this that are of the opposite sex I want you to know that this product works for both male and female. Come and visit and see which plan falls under your budget.

Looking bad at this point...
BOSTON - Torii Hunter hit a three-run home run and Casey Kotchman added a two-run homer in a six-run sixth inning Monday to lead the LA Angels to a 7-5 win over Boston.
Vladimir Guerrero was 2-for-4 and with two runs for the Angels, who have won five of their last six games.
Juan Rivera and Jeff Mathis each had an RBI and the Angels left just four men on base.
Jered Weaver (9-8) was the winner after allowing three runs on six hits in 5 2/3 innings.
Francisco Rodriguez got his 44th save of the season.
Manny Ramirez homered and drove in three runs for the Red Sox, who have lost three of their last four.
Losing pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka (11-2) gave up six runs on seven hits in five-plus innings for just his second loss this season.
It's hard to watch Sports Center in the morning when I have to work but it's even harder to watch it and finding out that your team hasn't won a game in like five days.
The way things are going I hope they find they're issue and solve it fairly quickly because before they know it the season will end and they're going to find themselves trying to catch up.
Wake up fellas and the game going because as the defending champs you have a job to keep as well as a fan base to entertain.
