Help For Small Dogs

Shopping source No Comments »

When your little guys need help getting around and maybe can’t get up on things as easy, you should consider getting them a ramp. A ramp would make it easier for them to go up steps or just places their little legs would never be able to carry them.

There is a big selection of dog ramps at the Pet-Super-Store. Your sure to find one that your help your small canine get to all those hard to get places. I know some places we don’t want them to go, but others we don’t mind and a ramp would make it so much easier. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a ramp, they do have decorative pet steps available. These steps look great in the home and will not draw any extra attention. They have a very natural look to it and your guest won’t think twice about it.

Pet-Super-Store also has a wide variety of feeders that are available. These aren’t your ordinary feeders that you might normally think of, when you think of what a dog feeder looks like. These are very upscale feeders and have an elevation to them that makes them look real nice. Also don’t forget the automatic feeders for those times you will be gone away from the house for an extensive amount of time. They are food and water feeders available that will gradually give your dog the feed and water it deserves while you are gone.

When You Wish Upon a Star

Blog Source No Comments »

How many shooting stars have you seen? And how many times did you make wishes when you saw them? And how many of them wishes came true?

If your like me, then probably none, but guess what? For some reason I still keep wishing on them shooting stars. I’m really not sure why it is suppose to bring you good luck. The same goes for the 4 leaf clover. I have found dozens of them and can’t really think of any luck they brought me.

Maybe if I would stop wishing for a million dollars, and lowered my expectations a little that would help. It seems like that is always what I wish for. Even on the birthdays before I blow them candles out, I usually make that million dollar wish. I guess I will just have to start wishing for things that are more in reach. So the next time you see a shooting star, go ahead and make that wish, but maybe it needs to be something more realistic. Good luck and let me know how it turns out.

This video shows some of the dangers of fireworks. This is also the time of year that many fireman are on edge as they await the calls to come put a fire out when a stray firework lands on their neighbors roof. Be safe and Happy Fourth of July!

Bahama Dreaming

Finance Source 2 Comments »

Is there anywhere in the world that is more beautiful than the Bahamas? I think the first thing that attracts me to the Bahamas is the water. Have you seen the color of the water down there? It’s like no where I have ever seen before. It has such a pretty green-teal looking color to it. I would love to swim, fish, or maybe even go scuba diving in water like that.

Now I hear they really welcome the guests great in the Bahamas and make the tourists feel right at home. My mama was lucky a few months ago, as she got to take a trip down there by the way of a cruise ship. Just hearing her stories about the Bahamas makes me want to go even more now. I am going to get down there one of these days, that’s a must!

Now I do love my seafood, and I bet there is plenty of seafood in the Bahamas to choose from. I’m sure they have fishermen down there that catch it daily, bring it in to be cleaned, and probably throw it on your plate for dinner all in the same day! So you would probably be getting some of the freshest seafood possible in the Bahamas. Not only would I enjoy eating the fresh fish down there, but going out and catching it myself would be fun too. I do love to fish and I hear the fishing is great around the Islands down there. So I’m sure I would fit fishing into my Bahamas Itinerary, if I even had one. I’m not sure if you could plan all the great Bahama activities they have and stick with it. I would probably jump at the first thing I saw, and would be like a kid in a candy store.

So yes, I am dreaming of the Bahamas and that beautiful clear water that surrounds it. I have never taken a cruise before either, so if I took a cruise ship to the Bahamas, I would be able to achieve two things I have never did before in one trip!

Car Wash or Storage Buildings?

Business Source No Comments »

I was just wondering which business would be the better one to go into, a place that you had storage buildings or a car wash? I like the business models of both of these. I think they are two businesses that would practically run their self. The car wash you would have to empty the trash a lot, but it’s a business that is open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. A lot like the storage buildings you would be renting. You would probably rent these out by monthly rates and holidays and weekends, you would make just as much money as you would through the week.

I guess I’m a bit lazy and to think that I could get a business that would operate itself makes it a little more appealing to me. If you have any suggestions on which one of these businesses you would prefer, then please let me know. Maybe you have some inside information or know someone that runs a car wash or a facility for storage buildings, and you can let me know which one is the better one!

Floating Down the Etowah River

Blog Source No Comments »

I have floated down the river that runs through my hometown. It runs through a lot of different counties and it’s called the Etowah River. The Native American Indians give it the name “Etowah” or that is how some say. The Cherokee Nation has argued this and says the name was corrupted in to what is now known as “Hightower” a small community that lies on the Cherokee and Forsyth County Borders. Even more myths debunk the name coming from the Indians as it is now believed that the Creek Indians had a strong position in the South Cherokee County Area.

The Etowah River starts in an area of North Georgia that is close to Dahlonega. It runs 98 miles before reaching the Allatoona Lake in Cherokee County. I have been on most of the river that runs through the Cherokee County Area. I have used several different ways to go up and down the Etowah River. Boats, canoes, and even a 2 person inflatable kayak, are just some of the ways I have traveled along the beautiful Etowah River. I think the best way to travel the river is with a 2 person inflatable kayak, that allows you to bring a buddy along for the journey.

It’s fun just floating down the river and taking in all the scenery. Most people that live around the Etowah River have never had the opportunity to see all the beauty that is along the Etowah River’s winding path. It’s funny how people can live in an area so long and never yet see it all! I like to fish, so most of the times I have floated down the Etowah River I would be fishing. The Etowah River is a great place to fish and is the home to 76 native fish species. If you live near the North Georgia Area or just want to find a good place to float down the river, then the Etowah River is a great place to do so! It’s calm in most parts of the river and it’s easy navigation for amateur boaters.

ALEX SINGS WHITE HOUSES

Throwing on the headphones and turning on her webcam, YouTube sensation Alex uploads another video at YouTube. She added this video back on April 17th and judging by what she says, it appears she is starting to hear feedback from the YouTube community. It wouldn’t be much longer until suggestions would be flying all over her videos; as we are in the middle of her YouTube appearances.

It seems this would be a crucial point in her success at YouTube. She gives me the impression in this video that she is going to start applying her self more. Maybe before this video was released she has just been turning on the webcam and letting things flow, however they came out. I get the impression she is now going to start thinking about what she puts on her YouTube videos. I still see that she is enjoying what she’s doing and is taking pride in what she is now releasing to the YouTube watchers.

The Journey Continues…

Heavy Equipment Operators

Technology Source 3 Comments »

HowStuffWorks is a very interesting concept to a company. Do you know what they do? They simply show us how things work. Now this might not seem like a big deal to you, but there is indeed a market that is needed for this. I have been to countless job interviews and I have done a number of jobs in many different fields. A lot of these jobs will show you some training video or a video on a piece of equipment that you might be using in your future employment with a company. I think it also keeps the companies out of the court room, because they can show documentation that you saw and understood the video.

Now HowStuffWorks is a popular website and is the leading source of credible, unbiased, and easy-understanding to how things actually work. NAHETS has recently been approved as an “Approved Content Provider”, and I think this will help give the company recognition in the field as they make more and more videos on how stuff works! NAHETS or The National Association of Heavy Equipment Training Schools is pleased to announced that they have been approved for their videos on heavy equipment. The president Matt Klabacka feels that this is a major milestone for the company. You can find out more about the company at www.nahets.com.

For all the heavy equipment operators out there or people that are wanting to become heavy equipment operators. They will now have the benefits of seeing live videos and animation to help them work better with heavy equipment and most importantly, doing it in the safest manner possible. These videos should be very helpful to all the heavy equipment operators.

Many of the accidents that occur with heavy equipment are preventable. I believe NAHETS plans to use these videos to help prevent the accidents that are occurring now. A lot of rental companies will rent out skid steers everyday to hundreds of people. These skid steers are dangerous or can be, when they are not used properly. When used correctly they can be a very helpful tool, and hopefully these safety videos pertaining to skid steers will be seen by the operators before using the equipment.

PRESS RELEASE

The National Association of Heavy Equipment Training Schools NAHETS, has become an approved video training publisher with the
popular website www.howstuffworks.com.
Skid Steer Heavy Equipment Operator
Matt Klabacka, NAHETS President states, “This is a major milestone for NAHETS to achieve the status of “training content provider” for one of the Internets most popular self-help websites.”

HowStuffWorks is the leading source of credible, unbiased, and easy-to-understand explanations of how the world actually works. Founded by North Carolina State University Professor Marshall Brain in 1998, the site has since grown to be an award-winning online resource for millions of people of all ages.

NAHETS curriculum development department and internet video department, in conjunction with yellow metal tv, have created a series of heavy equipment training videos entitled, “Yellow Metal Boot Camp.”

The skid steer series represents the first of many training videos that NAHETS and Yellow Metal Boot Camp will produce, and includes live footage and 3-D animation. Each series begins with a “Safety First” component emphasizing the importance of safe operation of the equipment. NAHETS will publish, and disseminate these into the web 2.0 environment.

Klabacka says, “NAHETS is focused on a long term strategy in providing quality, publicly
available, heavy equipment specific, instructional material in a rich media environment.”

According to Klabacka, “heavy equipment instruction, which is made available to the public, can improve the results obtained through the equipment’s use, increase the longevity of the machines, reduce property damage and accidents, and, most importantly, help to cut down
on the number of injuries and even save lives.”

Heavy equipment accidents are common and many are preventable. After watching the Yellow Metal Boot Camp Skid Steer Safety module, Klabacka stated “Every skid steer rented in the country should come with this basic safety video.”

“Equipment rental companies across the country are renting hundreds
of skid steers every day and many of the operators are clueless on safety matters regarding this very useful, yet potentially dangerous piece of heavy equipment.”

Chris Cannon, NAHETS Director of Curriculum Development says, “skid
steer loaders are not ‘lawn tractors.’ Many weigh as much as a car and have more power, pound for pound, than their larger cousins on the heavy equipment line-up. These small machines warrant a healthy respect. We will start to see an increase in small equipment being used as contractors realize how they can improve production and profits as the size of residential real-estate continues to shrink and the ‘do-it-yourselfer’ launches out into various projects; often without receiving more than a few minutes of training! These machines have come a long way since their invention in 1957 when they were just being used on a farm. More and more, the cost to own, transport, and operate a skid steer with its incredible versatility and the availability of many work tools is making it the obvious machine of choice for many contractors and rental fleets.

The ‘Yellow Metal Boot Camp’ Video training is far superior to a
simple instructional manual, pamphlet, or 5 minutes of instruction from a rental clerk or co-worker. Nothing takes the place of seat-time and professional hands on training by a qualified instructor; but in the absence of that, nothing comes close to these videos. They are professionally produced, high quality, and very engaging unlike many traditional training videos which tend to be rather boring. These videos have been “kicked up a notch.” They have great music, eye catching graphics, 3-D animation, and have more of the look and feel of an adventure; yet they still deliver expert advice, techniques, and emphasize safety as the number one priority. Making this valuable resource available to the public is a mandate that we, at NAHETS, feel very strongly about.”

Take A Bite Out of the Big Apple

Consumer source No Comments »

What comes to mind when you think of the Big Apple? I assume you said New York and that comes to my mind as well. That might all change with the latest IPhone that Apple has came out with. Now I still don’t own a cell phone. I have not seen a reason to this point to have one, and I think my nephew sold me on a few points the other day, that will make me get a cell phone. My main reason for not owning one, is because I didn’t want another monthly payment. He told me I could buy these phone cards and wouldn’t be required to pay the monthly payments. So I might be close to owning my first cell phone.

If I want to go in style, this new IPhone that Apple is realeasing seems to be the way to go. It has a touch screen that will access the internet, not to mention it has video capabilities, and somewhere in there, is appears a camera is built in. My only questions is: Can you talk to people on it, like you can with a telephone? I never seen that as one of the features, but I guess when they call it a phone, they expect most people to know it does allow conversations like a telephone.

Please let me know if you are going to try to get this latest phone by Apple, or give me any advice on getting my first cell phone?

Increase Business Exposure on the Internet

SEO Source No Comments »

If your company or business isn’t taking advantage of the millions of people online, then you are missing out on a huge market. If you are already doing promotions online and it’s not been too successful at this point, then be sure to considering hiring a SEO (search engine optimization) company. They can give you valuable information to help your website get the best results possible.

Another thing you might want to consider is web site design. Having your website designed properly can make a big difference. Make sure your website is easy to navigate and the pages load fast. No one likes a website that it takes the pages a long time to load. While they are waiting for your pages to load, they might just decide to leave your website, without ever seeing what you might have to offer.

Not the Internet has made a huge difference in my business. It seems like I learn something new everyday. There is always new and better technology coming out, and staying up on these newest things, can help you maximize your online efforts. I have learned so much in the past year and I hope I can learn just as much in the years to come. I have seen what a good website can achieve online and I want to make sure that I take advantage of all the opportunities that exist.

So if someone has the toolbar installed on their website and they visit your website, it will help your Alexa rankings.

Alex Gives Us a Triple Take on an American Idol Star

Alex Performs 3 Songs by American Idol Star Kelly Clarkson

I wonder if we would even know who Kelly Clarkson was if it wasn’t for American Idol. Do you think Kelly Clarkson was so talented it was just a matter of time before she was discovered? Or do you feel American Idol was the only way she has became a household name today. It’s pretty interesting that a teenager from Mexico liked her music well enough to upload 3 videos on Kelly Clarkson.

Alex has a lot of things she does well and it’s great to see her get to share her music desires with so many people around the world, thanks to YouTube and the Internet. If your looking in on Single Source Writing Ms. Clarkson, I would love to hear your thoughts on Alex and how does it make you feel that a teenager from Mexico has enough respect for your music; that she has uploaded 3 of your songs to YouTube.

I have just learned some exciting new information on Alex. She is getting ready to start performing at a local restaurant, where she will be getting a taste of singing in front of a live audience. CONGRATS ALEX!!! I’m happy to see someone giving you the opportunity to show off your singing skills and I have no doubts that you will do great!

Feel free to send Alex congratulations on her newest adventure into singing live for people, or if you just have questions, suggestions, or any thoughts, you can send them to: AlexYouTubeFanClub@yahoo.com

Money In Real Estate

Consumer source No Comments »

Do you stay up late at night? If you do you probably have seen those infomercials that come on late at night that involve real estate investing. I’m not sure if those programs work or not, but I do know many people have cashed in from the real estate market. The infomercials tell us we can purchase homes and land with no money needed. It’s hard to believe and with the poor acting skills that comes along with those infomercials.

Now a safe way to take advantage in the real estate market is by ETFs or mutual funds that are geared toward real estate properties and real estate companies. If your are interested in making real estate purchases for yourself or just as an investment, then the first advice I could give you is to compare mortgage rates. Find the best rates that are in your state and around the country. If you are buying land as an investment, then it doesn’t matter if it’s in another state or hundreds of miles away. You want to find a piece of land that you can get a good deal on, with the opportunity to resell it for a profit in the future.

Now one of the hottest real estate areas in the country can be found in North Carolina. I have seen and heard a lot of good things about Asheville real estate. This isn’t going to be around for years and years to come for some of the rates you can find in Asheville, North Carolina. People looking to buy homes and investors are quickly learning about all the benefits of owning land in Asheville. When you start comparing interest rates you will learn that real estate in North Carolina is as good as any place in the country.

If you are someone that has tried them infomercials that come on late at night, I would love to hear your stories about it. Did you make money? Do you expect to make money? Is it as easy as they make it look on television? I have my doubts about it, but I have never doubted that there was plenty of money to be made in real estate. I would hope that in the near future I could get in a better financial position to start purchasing real estate for myself or for investment purposes.

Evan Almighty Is Popular!

Social Source No Comments »

One of the latest big movies to hit the big screen is Evan Almighty. The box office was kind to this movie that looks to be pretty funny judging by the previews I have seen so far. The scary new thriller by Stephen King was 2nd at the box office raking in just a touch over $20 million dollars for the 1408 Movie. Evan Almighty was even more popular as movie fans brought in over 32 million dollars at the box office to see this movie.

Bruce Almighty was a successful movie in it’s own right and the creators of that movie has produced this new movie Evan Almighty. This comedy is going to give us a whole brand new view on that famous arc that Noah built from the floods. I could see some religious parties that make take some offense to this movie dealing with a popular biblical story in Noah’s Arc. This is a movie suitable for all the members of the family. So don’t be afraid to take the kids to see this blockbuster movie this summer. I think Evan Almighty will be at the theaters for awhile, from all the positive reviews that is coming from this new comedy from Universal!

Alex Goes Down Memory Lane

Alex YouTube No Comments »

ALEX AND HER TOYS

The sensation from YouTube goes down memory lane and introduces us to Fluffy. Hi Fluffy! Alex also discovers she has a doll with no name and request help for naming her doll. Only one suggestion so far at YouTube, so if you have a name for Alex’s doll, then please be sure to leave a reply.

Alex goes on to discuss Barbie and where the future of Barbie’s might be. Now I grew up in total different era from Alex. When I think of the toys I use to have, it’s the video games that stick out the most for me. My first memories of Pong was the greatest! Do you remember the game Pong? It was the first time people could sit and watch their televisions and actually interact with the tv. It was a brand new way to use our television sets. Now you have the Playstation 3 and Xbox that a lot of kids and adults play today. It all started from that little black and white game called Pong. It even had a sound effect “beep” “beep” , it wasn’t nothing fancy at the time, but it’s lead to a billion dollar market in the video game industry today.

Now as much as I loved Pong, the guys from Atari came out with video games for the television. This is where Pac Man made it’s debut to people all over the world. There was nothing better than playing Pac Man. It even had a catchy song that went with the video game that was called “PacMan Fever”. I still know some of the lyrics to that song, I’m sorry to admit. Maybe I could find that song and have Alex sing it? Now that would be funny! Just kidding Alex!!! I wouldn’t do that to ya!

Another fun toy of mine when I was younger was the Hot Wheel cars. I would take these to school and my friends and me would get these Hot Wheel Cars and put them at the top of a slide on the playground. We would let them go and see whose car would be the fastest. At the end of the slide was sand that would often get in the wheels and cause the car to slow down after time. So if you was lucky enough to have the fastest car on the playground, it wouldn’t last long as eventually sand would get to it, and would make someone else the champ. I had a gold car that had the number 8 on it, that I still have today. Everytime I see that Hot Wheels car, it makes me think of the days on the playground where it was the fastest one for a short time!

It’s great that Alex took timeout to make a video of her remembering her toys like this. The internet or YouTube wasn’t around for my benefits, and Alex will be able to look back on this video years from now and have all her favorite toys still fresh in her mind. Thanks for the memories Alex!
