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!

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

I would like to go to Niagra Falls someday. I know a lot of people take their honeymoons or make it a romantic type of trip when they visit this breath taking scene. I would just like to go and see the raw power that water has coming off the edges. I know the falls are used for electricity purposes and I bet it is responsible for a lot of people having power in that area. I’m not sure if it’s possible for a drought to occur in that area and would hurt the amount of power it supplies to the residents up there. I know a lot of people would be without lights if the Falls was to suddenly stop.

I know we are suffering from a drought here in Georgia. Our two major dams in North Georgia produces electricity, but I haven’t heard about any problems with that, as our lakes dry up here. We need Niagra Falls to flow in our lakes for about a month to help them fill back up. Most of the experts think our biggest problems will be late in the summer next year, but right now we have about 75 days of water left, if it doesn’t rain anymore. I was just wondering with global warming and the climate changing, if Niagra Falls would ever be in danger of drying up or becoming a trickle one day? I guess a lot of ice and snow-covered mountains feed it and the hotter it gets, will just mean more water that comes through the Falls.

The young sensation from YouTube gets back on the singing track. Releasing two new videos of her singing. Please be sure to leave replies to these songs or requests that you might want to hear Alex singing in the future.

Alex Sings Umbrella by Rihanna

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!

Things I’ll Never Say by Alex

Excellent!

Please be sure to stay tuned and see what Alex does next. We will soon be learning how things are going for Alex at school and possibly a new look? You will have to stick around and see more of the YouTube Sensation as she continues to rock up the scene over at YouTube!

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

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“

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!

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!

The Atlanta Hawks have been an organization that has been on the brunt end of a lot of jokes lately. They have became the Clippers in the East and maybe just the Clippers of the NBA. One big difference right now is that the Clippers let guys walk and never wanted to pay out the money. The Hawks haven’t followed that road yet and from the multi-owner group that owns the Hawks, it appears they have some deep pockets. Not as deep with Belkin gone, but they have a few pennies to spend on B Ball in the Peach State.

So many different people have suggestions on what the Hawks need to do. Stay the course and let the young guys develop, bring in experience, get a new coach/GM, etc…

I would like to focus on a different view of how these Hawks from Atlanta can become a playoff team. They have one of the most amazing athletes in the NBA and in the world if you look at what the average man can do. I’m not sure anyone in the NBA has the raw skills of this young man and if he would have chosen college, he would still be there (due to being under 22 years of age). I’m talking about Josh Smith and by all accounts, he is a Hawk amongst the other hawks and I’m not talking about basketball players. This guy flies around in the air like an actual hawk and it’s amazing to see him leap against gravity and reach the heights he does.

I have seen players like Patrick Ewing, Shaquille Oneal, Dikembe Mutombo, and other 7 footers have such a presence in the lane and around the rim in a defensive manner. I have also watch under-sized guys like Charles Barkley and Ben Wallace have that same presence in the paint. Now Josh Smith is built more like a Mutombo, but his size would be more like Ben Wallace. It’s a recipe that would equal getting pushed around in the paint and not being an effective player on defense. However, when you see the product of Josh Smith and see how he controls the paint, it’s unreal how much of a Mutombo-like presence he brings on defense for the Atlanta Hawks. Forget where the Hawks list him in the line-up, and who he is matched up with defensively, because the guy keeps an eye on the paint for the Hawks.

There are not 12 guys in the Eastern Conference that are better than Josh Smith. He should be an all-star player, but playing in Atlanta he doesn’t get the recognition and no one in the NBA really know just how talented he is. They see a few highlight dunks or blocks and quickly write him off as the defensive guy with hops. He can shoot the basketball and many times he might just be shooting too far away from the basket. He needs that jump shot to keep players honest, but when you have the leaping ability he has, forget about honesty and start looking to expose.

I think he can put this Hawks team on his back and carry them to a playoff appearance in 2007/2008 Season.  It should be interesting to see how the Hawks fare against the Boston Celtics at Boston on November 9th. It’s not just a match up against the favorites to win the East this year, but it will be the end of a tough start to the season for the Hawks. They will play the Mavericks, Pistons, Nets, Suns, and then Kevin Garnett to start the season. If the Hawks win 3 of these 5 games, others will mention the Hawks in the same breath as playoffs. If they are 5-0 after the Celtics game, they will be mentioning the New England Patriots and Atlanta Hawks in the same breath. If they lose the majority of these games, then the Hawks will not even get mentioned, which will be a way to fly under the radar. You might think they couldn’t fly any further under the radar, but I think most people wait to those first few games of the season before they pick the winners and losers of the league.

Josh Smith is a good kid and his middle finger to the Charlotte Bobcat fans was a lot different than Michael Vick’s middle finger to the home crowd at the Georgia Dome. Michael Vick was on the sideline and had been there awhile as the Falcons game had already been settled. It was then he elected to show the rude gesture to the Falcon faithful. Josh Smith had just received a horrible officiating call and he let the referee know about it and got 2 technicals in his rage and did his gesture to the Charlotte crowd in the heat of the momment. So while the stars in Atlanta are making headlines with one of their digits, just know that Josh’s case was a lot different than the former number 7 in Atlanta.

Maybe the NBA will recognize him this year and he will get an All Star appearance for the Eastern Conference. If the Hawks are below .500, then don’t hold your breath Hawks fans. He is a top 10 player in the Eastern Conference and once the NBA recognizes it, he will not miss an All Star Game!

Fans are still talking about Carlos Boozer’s performance for the Utah Jazz and what he accomplished in the post-season last year. If Josh Smith gets his chance to play in a playoff series, LOOKOUT!

ATLANTA HAWKS 2007/2008 PREDICTION: 53 WINS AND 29 LOSES

NOTE: Atlanta Hawks @ Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008. This will be the first game for the 2008 year and against LeBron James and company. This is the statement game and this is where this organization will turn that magic corner!

If you’re searching for an air riffle for the kids Christmas this year or maybe you would like to have one yourself; then be sure to check with Pyramyd Air. They have a nice selection of air guns to choose from. You can find them for less than $100 and some of the really nice ones are available for a few hundred dollars. They come in many different styles, brands, and whatever power you’re seeking in an air gun.

I was noticing the Big Cat 1200 by Gamo and this gun really packs a punch. Most of your typical air guns will have a maximum velocity of 600 to 1000 feet per second. This bad boy has a maximum velocity at 1200 feet per second! Now that’s packing a punch! It can easily take out the small game around your house that you might want to get rid of. No small game is going to be a match for this air gun by Gamo. If you’re looking for a gun that has some pop to it; then this is the one for you!

Another thing that made me like this gun so much was the fact that so many people wrote reviews for it at Pyramyd Air. Almost all the air guns they sell, you usually can find some reviews about it. You can learn what people like about the air gun, what they would change about it, and what they didn’t like about it. So it gives you a good idea on which gun to select when you get ready to buy one. They also have plenty of accessories to choose from when you do decide which air gun you want. If you already own an air gun and just need something for it, be sure to check with them and see if they have it first!

Would you like to save 5% on your purchases from Pyramyd Air? If you find a mistake on their website; then they will gladly award you a 5% off coupon that you can use on any purchases you make at Pyramyd Air. So be sure to check and see if you can find any mistakes! (Maybe someone should tell them that isn’t the way to spell Pyramid?)

The drought is never gonna stop it appears. We figured with Fall here now in the South that the rains would come, but that hasn’t happend yet. It’s gotten so bad, a local news station is going to be doing a 30 minute special just on the drought. At 6:30 EST on Sunday Evening, the ABC affiliate in Atlanta (channel 2 News) will be conducting an half hour show on the drought in Georgia. Many believe this is the worse one ever. We was lucky to have a few brief showers the other night, but the ground quickly soaked all of that up and we need more. LOTS MORE! I think as bad as it might seem to say, we need an hurricane in the Peachstate. I think we could do without all the power outages and wind damage that comes along with a hurricane, but all the wet stuff would be a welcomed sight.

I know I have lived my whole life in Georgia and I can’t recall it ever being this bad. We are under a 0 tolerance water ban in Georgia. Your first offense is just a written warning, but the 2nd time you get caught doing any outdoor watering, it could cost you as much as $100. Please try to conserve the water when you are washing dishes, brushing your teeth, taking showers, and only do clothes when you have enough to complete a full load. If we all pitch in just a little, I think we can make a dent in this awful drought and hopefully we can make it until the November Rains set in.

If you have any tips or tricks on how to save water, then please reply and if we all can save a drop here and there, maybe the fire departemnt will have enough when the next house or woods catch on fire. Lack of water like this is unsafe for all of us, so please try to conserve!
