How Bout Them Dawgs!

Monday, October 29th, 2007

Georgia Beats Florida!

What a great game on Saturday to see our boys from Athens kick some Gator butt! It was a great game between the border rivals of the Georgia Bulldogs and the Florida Gators. When it comes to water, we have had another battle there. We got them in football and now it might be time to stop our water from going down to the Sunshine State.

One of the best things in the game was when Georgia scored their first touchdown. The whole team from Georgia rush to the endzone and celebrated with the offense. The Florida team was visibly shaken from this move and their coach tried to ralley them. Florida’s coach “Oscar” Meyer “Winner” got a few Florida players to root on the defense when they came off the field, when Georiga kicked the PAT. Things would only get worse for Meyer as everything he tried against that tough Bulldog defense just failed. He even benched one of his players, because the center snapped the ball over his head. Florida’s coach for some reason thought that his player should have got the ball, even though it was over his head. Meyer is a poor loser and you can see that very clearly as his team was overmatched by the team from Georgia. I doubt Meyer will have a job much longer down there, the way he acts when his team is losing. He just yelled and blamed the players all game long and it was clear they haven’t seen a football team as good as Georgia this year.

A star is born in Georgia with Knowshon Moreno. This kid is the real deal and he’s only going to get better as a red-shirted freshmen. The sky is the limit for this kid and if Mark Richt will let him take over, the Bulldogs are going to win a lot of games.

GO BULLDAWGS………THAT A WAY TO HUNKER DOWN!!!

WHO LET THE DAWGS OUT?

WHO LET THE DAWGS OUT?

WHO LET THE DAWGS OUT?

So long Florida….we will see ya again next year in Jacksonville! Don’t even worry about revenge, because a lot of recruits just watched who the real men are, and all those recruits that were on the fence will now be flocking to the Georgia Bulldogs!

Footwear That Is Safe

Monday, October 29th, 2007

Our feet are important to us and it’s important to protect them. If you work in an environment; where heavy things can drop on your feet from time to time; you might want to consider getting a good pair of Steel Toe Boots. These boots won’t protect you from everything, but they go a long ways in helping you protect your feet from the normal things that could smash a toe or something.

If you haven’t found a good place to find steel toe boots, then be sure to look at MetBoots.com. They have a great selection of work boots and many of the brands you have heard about already. Dickies, Converse, Florsheim, and Wolverine are just a few of the brands that MetBoots.com carries. You will find the boots that look best on you and you will be getting the extra safety that work boots provide. Their prices are very competitive, so you can rest assure knowing that you’re getting your boots for the best price. Also, there is FREE SHIPPING available for any orders over $100!

I found a pair that I liked that was the Carolina Mens 6 Inch Plain Toe Briar #3510. These are boots with the steel toe feature in them, but they also have a stylish look to them, that I wouldn’t mind wearing out to other places. A pair of boots like this isn’t just for work, but they can be for pleasure too! These look like a pair of work boots that would last me for a long time to come.

Trick or Treat

Monday, October 29th, 2007

Halloween is almost here! This is a great time of the year. We start to feel the first cool weather from the long hot summer days. All the kids are picking out their favorite costumes, so they can go spend the night on the town grabbing up all the goodies in their bags. It’s as much fun giving out the treats as it is to eat them!

What’s halloween without a few scares? A lot of the scary movies will start coming on television and I like watching them. Even though I have seen them a hundred times, it’s still fun to watch them over and over again. I also like a good haunted house too! I haven’t been to any yet, but would like to take one of my nephews to a good one. I’m not a big fan of those that are so dark, you can’t even see where you’re walking to, but sometimes those are the best ones. A good haunted house can even scare the adults a bit. You expect someone to jump out at you, but if that someone has a really creepy look to them, they can take your breath away a bit. Maybe I will find a good one and it will give me my money’s worth. BOO!

Swapping Links

Saturday, October 27th, 2007

So many ways to rank your websites now and this is key in getting good search engine results on Yahoo, MSN, and Google. Your PR Ranking from Google and the Alexa Ranking are two ways that most people will judge your website by. You want a high number with the Google Ranking (0-10) and the lower your Alexa Ranking is the better. Some people get these confused, but just remember your Alexa Score is like playing golf. The lower you can score with your Alexa Ranking, is the better.

Now a good way to move up in both of these rankings is to swap links. Find other websites that are similiar to yours and swap links. Find a place on your website, that you can give others a link for their websites. In exchange, they can add a link on their website that will lead to yours. This works best for the Google PR Rankings, but your overall SEO will benefit from swapping links. Do as much as you can to have your link on as many websites as possible!

Metal Cabinets

Saturday, October 27th, 2007

I have lived in houses all my life that had wooden cabinets. The wood cabinets are not as durable as the metal cabinets are. I believe that metal cabinets would last forever; unlike the wooden cabinets that are in most homes now. I guess some people just get use to the wooden cabinets in their kitchens and might feel enough metal exist there already. If you have a metal stove, refrigerator, microwave oven, or things that appear to look like metal, you might have enough metal in your kitchen. I think metal cabinets would fit in better and just from the looks of it; they would fit in better than wooden cabinets would. I just think metal cabinets would last a lifetime and you wouldn’t have to worry about ever changing your cabinets or having new ones installed again. So if you’re planning on installing any new cabinets in your kitchen, check and see if there are any metal ones that fit your needs. You don’t just have to have metal cabinets in the garage anymore!

Need a Well for Water?

Saturday, October 27th, 2007

A good business to be in right now in the South is the guys that drill the wells. A lot of concerns over a water supply that is dwindling everyday. Some homeowners are taking matters in their own hands and having wells dug out on their property. I think that is a great idea and especially for people that have a yard or plants that need the extra water. If you have your own well, you can water outside as much as you want. Nobody can tell you when or how to water your plants outside. If things ever get worse and people’s taps start running dry; then you have a water source for drinking. I think the well diggers will be busy for the next several years, as it seems climate change is going to dramatically affect the folks in the South.

Pool Tournaments

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

Is there a place that has pool tournaments in your area? I was just wondering what some other pool players might do, before they go shoot in a pool tournament. Do you practice up a lot on your billiards, before you go play in a big tournament? I always try to get a lot of practice in, but sometimes it’s hard to do. There is a big pool tournament close to where I live at; that will be this Saturday (October 27th). First place will be $500 and only B and C players are allowed to play in it. That means they will be no A or really good players in this tournament. The B Players will give the C Players an extra game when they face each other.

This tournament is going to be at Johnny Archer’s pool hall. He’s a real famous pool player and has won a lot of big tournaments. I don’t think Johnny will be at this one, because I believe the U.S. Open is going on right now for pool players. It’s the best of the best competing in that one. I have a cousin that is trying to talk me into going to play in this tournament Saturday, but I haven’t got in the practice to play in any tournaments, much less one that will be this big. It’s not often we have pool tournaments around here for that big of a pot. I will have to pass on this one and maybe prepare for the next one they will have.

Nice job!

Not an easy song to sing, but Alex pulls it off! In the comments for this video over at YouTube Alex says “U CAN STAND UNDER MY UMBRELLA WHEN U NEED SOMEONE, OK?” I think they will be a lot of people standing under Alex’s umbrella one day, as she continues to make her way up the YouTube charts.

Alex didn’t just stop at that video. She decided to put out another video and this one was a request she did. It’s an Avril Lavigne song and she did a great job with it!

The Color of Money

Friday, October 19th, 2007

74m.jpg

The Color of Money is one of the best movies ever! There isn’t a lot of pool related movies but this one has to be the leader with the Hustler coming in a close second. When you put Paul Newman and Tom Cruise in a movie and have them playing billiards, you have the parts of a great movie. That is exactly what the Color of Money is and if you haven’t seen this one, then just go put your pool cues down and get it today!

Fast Eddie Felson who is played by Paul Newman is a man with a plan. He is a hustler in every sense of the way. He’s ready to share his talents with this young kid he hears breaking the balls with authority. The young kid is Vincent who is played by Tom Cruise, and Fast Eddie offers to teach Vincent how to be a hustler. Vincent accepts the offer and the two plan to go to a big tournament in Atlantic City. Fast Eddie, Vincent and his girlfriend Carmen load up to go play in this big tournament, but they stop at all the pool halls along the way, so Fast Eddie can teach Vincent all the ropes. Vincent isn’t the best student in the world and really flashes his talent for everybody to see. Fast Eddie has a rough time trying to teach Vincent how to hustle and shows Vincent how he could be winning more money than he’s accustomed to.

Short Scene From the Movie

YouTube Preview Image

If you play pool or know someone that does, then you must make sure that the pool player in your life sees this movie! It’s a 5 star movie for anybody that picks up the pool cues every now and then. I give it 4 stars for the people who have never played billiards before in their life! If you haven’t seen this movie yet; you might want to go ahead and get the Hustler and see a young Paul Newman in that movie first. It might make The Color of Money more understandable from the beginning, but it’s not a hard movie to follow at all. I would love to take a trip like the one Fast Eddie and Vincent took in this movie and stop at every billiard place I saw along the way. 

On the snap Vincent

North Georgia Drying Up

Friday, October 19th, 2007

A drought has stricken the northern part of Georgia. The two main lakes that give water to the millions of people around metro Atlanta are drying up. Lake Lanier and Allatoona is sending more water down stream everyday; compared to the water that is coming into these two big lakes. North Georgia would be a lot better off if they stopped this drastic decrease that is occurring daily. However, the folks in Alabama and Florida also use the water from these lakes downstream and they are demanding that the flow continues.

One thing that Florida and Alabama don’t understand is that once these lakes dry up, then there will be no water for anybody. It would be better if they turned down the amount that is going down stream everyday now, and force the folks in Alabama and Florida to slow down on their consumption of this valuable supply of water. Each day that goes by with no significant rainfall, is each day that is being lost in the efforts to retain some of this water in North Georgia.

Laws were in place that date back many years on just how much water Georgia would supply its neighboring states. These laws are old and archaic and need to come off the books. We all need to be saving the water right now and that’s just not happening. The people in Florida and Alabama are still continuing to use their full supply each day and the federal government has failed to step in and solve this crisis. It’s now getting to the point where it’s too late and the people down in Florida and Alabama are going to be hurt the worse when they have to quit using the water in a sudden stop. At least the people in North Georgia are already getting use to using the least amount of water it takes to do the daily routines of our life. THANKS A LOT FEDERAL GOVERNMENT!

Saving Money Online

Monday, October 15th, 2007

It’s getting close to the shopping season and with more and more people getting connected on the internet and I think it’s safe to assume that online shopping this year will break all the records again. We sometimes prefer to buy one thing at a store before we shop at other places, because it’s convenient for us to just go ahead and pick it up at the place we are at. It’s easier to “shop around” online than it is in real life. Take time to check a few different retailers, before you click that “Pay Now” button. It’s also a good idea to see what kind of online discount codes are available. These can save you a lot of money and it doesn’t take much effort to find these coupon codes.

Many of the big and popular stores have these codes online somewhere. You can find Kohl’s coupons online, if you like to do your shopping there. There are many others that you know well where you can find coupons for. Maybe you watch the shopping channels that come on television, as your way of shopping for the holiday season. ShopNBC coupons are available online and you can use them to save you money. It doesn’t matter where you shop, just try to find these valuable discounts that can save you money. Go now and see just how easy it is to find a ShopNBC coupon code!
