5-Minute Power Boosters for the OfficeThis is one of those things that you should be doing on a regular basis. I try to do a quick workout in the morning from 8:30 to 8:45. Some simple stretches, shadow boxing and jumping jacks. I work in a warehouse and there are times that it gets really quiet back here and if I'm not alert I can find my self feeling tired and sleepy. Take a few minutes and read the article who knows maybe you can learn a few things.

MSNBC Anchor: Palin‘s Use of American Flag Could be ’Breach of Federal Law’ | The Blaze

MSNBC Anchor: Palin‘s Use of American Flag Could be ’Breach of Federal Law’ | The Blaze.
When something like this comes along you can only imagine that there will be more dumb reporting to follow. I hope that MSNBC can find better researchers to help their anchors because if this is the kind of work that is presented to the mouth pieces then I guess it's a good thing no one really cares for that network.

As most of you may have heard, there have been some amazing breakthroughs this past month in linking certain genes to Alzheimer's, but there is still a lot of work to be done. This year, the first of the Boomer Generation turns 65. To bring urgently-needed attention to the risk facing the Boomers, Alzheimer's Association released a groundbreaking study, Generation Alzheimer's: The Defining Disease of the Baby Boomers.

The information you read is just the beginning of what has been discovered. Please take a few minutes of your time and do some homework on the ever growing problem of Alzheimer's.

Did you say FREE?

If it's one thing I've learned in the past is that when someone mentions the word free all those around will suddenly perk up their ears and look to the source. Well I'm here to do just that. FREE, that's right FREE - I have found a site that truly has free products waiting for you to try them out. If you are the kind of shopper that I am where every purchase has to be done properly then this is the site to visit. There are hundreds of free samples from different companies where they are looking for a little feed back and some that are simply advertising a different product. If you don't like ordering online then you can receive free offers/products by mail as well. Heck, my sister is still having trouble finding the right cell phone that fulfills her every need at work and at home. I told her to visit the site and search free cell phones. She hasn't called back yet to let me know what she got but something tells me that she is looking at other offers. Maybe you're like my brother where getting free stuff is the only reason you need to visit. I went through the site earlier and found what I needed - a tire gauge kit. Look, open up a separate tab and visit the site and trust me, you will find something for either yourself or someone you know. Visit soon visit today.

"Live a little, live on fire" would be a great term to use if you're playing for a team but when you're shopping for your loved ones please don't follow this quote to the T - it will end up costing you more then you think.

I don't know what to say but what I'm definitely going to feel is a great rush of pride flowing through my veins. Chicago has been performing quite well in the past few days. That butt kicking they did against Golden was the tip now they move on to beat Washington. Yes, I know that some of you are saying that Golden and Washington aren't really contender teams but you have to admit that both teams have a decent roster. Keep up the good work Bulls and lets bring in another victory soon. Here is a quick piece from UPI on the game -

NBA: Chicago 103, Washington 96
CHICAGO (UPI) -- Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah and Luol Deng produced a total of 65 points Saturday, fueling Chicago's 103-96 decision over Washington.

Rose led the way with 24 points, while Noah had 21 and Deng had 20. Noah and Deng had nine rebounds apiece in the Bulls' third win in a row.

Washington lost for the fourth time in its last five games despite getting a game-high 30 points from Gilbert Arenas. John Wall contributed 16 points and six assists for the Wizards.

No, I'm not talking about the street racing car type. What I'm talking about is the movie that is due to come out in a few days. Yes I know that this might be yet another attempt at taking our planet and we find a way to save ourselves but you must watch it just to see the special effects.
Watch Below -

A must see...

2010-10-23T18:10:00.004-04:00

Most of you know me but for those of you who don't allow me to tell you about my interests in movies. Anything that involves explosion and lots of action is pretty much what I like. The image you see above is of course the next flick that I will be watching as soon as I get a chance. Watch the clip below and you'll see why I want to watch this so bad.

Not bad at all...

2010-10-23T09:27:00.003-04:00

Okay, while watching a show called Detroit 187 I came across an ad for Duracell. The image you see to the left is the product I'm talking about. No Duracell did not come out with a new phone or any phone for that matter. What they did come out with is much better then that. I present to you the Duracell MyGrid - from what I've read this pad charges up to three phones by simply placing the phones on the pad. I say three because I believe you can only put three on it before it becomes a bit crowded. Now, in my household there are five people - so that means five different chargers for five different phones. I strongly believe that if three of these phones are on this pad and two are traditionally plugged in then that's a good thing. Why you ask - well that means that there would be three less cords plugged in to outlets throughout the house. Check it out and let me know if you bought one by leaving a comment.

First episode of Doctor Who Debuts on BBC (1963)
This long-running science fiction program about a mysterious time-traveling adventurer known only as "the Doctor" has become a significant part of British popular culture. Despite its featuring of low-budget special effects, it was widely recognized for creative storytelling and use of innovative music. After twenty-six seasons and a TV movie, Doctor Who recently reappeared as a new series. What machine does the Doctor use to travel through time and space?
Post a comment with the answer.

Although the program had many doctors the one I remember the most is Tom Baker. I don't know what it was about him that had me seriously focused on the program but he was definitely my favorite of the doctors. I haven't really been following the series since I was a little kid but I have read that they have had some spin offs like Torchwood that looks interesting but I really don't see myself running out and getting one just yet but I would accept it as a gift if anyone would be interested :)

Enjoy your weekend...

Are you interested in exploring the art world and all of it's forms for free? Then let me inform you about St. Augustine Artwalk. The oldest city in America is the host of such an event. Imagine yourself with your loved ones down in Florida looking for an event to attend and then you come across the usual boring "live" events on the strip. Well if you're in the area please make your way to St. Augustine and have yourself an experience like no other. This glorious event starts on Friday December 7th and Saturday December the 8th but that's not the end of it along with the first weekend of each month afterwards the old city comes alive with music and art exhibits once again. If you are the type that would enjoy the music aspect of it instead of the art then this would definitely get your body moving in a good and gleeful manner. First Friday Weekend Art Walk would be just what my wife and I would do without any hesitation. We enjoy intriguing and unique art work that many artists produce. Please, if you're vacationing in the "Sunshine State" and you happen to have some time to spare then you will not regret visiting the ole city and participate in the weekends events.

DENVER (UPI) -- Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson combined for 48 points Tuesday as the Denver Nuggets swept past the Chicago Bulls 112-91. Anthony tallied 26 points and Iverson added 22, while Marcus Camby added 12 points and 20 rebounds for the Nuggets, who have won six straight. Kenyon Martin contributed 13 points for Denver, which shot 50.6 percent. Rookie Joakim Noah led Chicago with 16 points, with Kirk Hinrich and rookie Thomas Garner adding 14 points apiece for the 2-8 Bulls.
After going up just 36-25 in the first quarter, the Nuggets used a 13-0 run to forge a 72-53 halftime lead and were up 94-69 after three quarters. The Bulls, who were without Luol Deng for a second straight game (sore back), never mounted a challenge in the final period.

I know that this looks bad for the Bulls but they have a really good squad. Even though Noah gave them a good effort by rippin in 16 points I am giving them a few more months before the chemistry begins to flow at a steady and dangerous pace where the name Chicago Bulls will put those opposing them in fear.

Fresno, California - A story that will not amaze me now or ever, this man has done what most homeless people haven't thought of yet. Bruce Stacy a homeless carpenter has dug himself a home underground where he lives and spends his time away from the elements. Apparently he has built himself a few of these before in the past. Although the video below doesn't mention where they are or what has happened to them it looks like Mr. Stacy has improved his work where he even has an escape tunnel when ever some one approaches that is of the unfamiliar kind. The percentage of homeless people is rising at a record pace, we need to help those in need until they are able to get back on their feet financially and spiritually.

Chicago losing big...

2007-11-19T17:09:00.001-05:00

LOS ANGELES (UPI) -- Kobe Bryant had just 16 points on a cold shooting night, but the LA bench came up big Sunday night, as the Lakers beat Chicago, 106-78. Bryant was good on just 6-of-16 shots, and was on the bench when the Lakers put together an 18-0 streak over the third and fourth quarters to take matters in hand against the Bulls -- who had a team-wide cold hand, shooting just 34.8 percent from the floor. Andrew Bynum and Jordan Farmar had 14 points each, and Bynum hauled in 10 rebounds. Chris Mihm and Vladimir Radmanovic had 11 points each off the bench, and Mihm had seven rebounds for the Lakers, who won their third straight game and their fourth out of five. Ben Gordon led the Bulls with 20 points. Andres Nocioni had 14 points and six rebounds -- and no other player was in double figures for the Bulls, who have lost seven of nine games this season.

Massive Deal 4 Rodriguez...

2007-11-16T16:16:00.000-05:00

NEW YORK (UPI) -- Alex Rodriguez and the New York Yankees have reportedly agreed to a framework that could lead to the largest sports contract in history. The New York Daily News reported that Rodriguez will likely sign a deal worth $275 million over 10 years. It appeared the superstar third baseman would no longer be with the Yankees after he opted out of the remaining three years of his previous contract with the team.
That made him a free agent and allowed him to negotiate with any team in the majors, but he indicated he would like to stay with New York if a deal could be arranged. Rodriguez met with the sons of Yankees owner George Steinbrenner during the past week. The Daily News report said that while language in the contract must be made final, it is expected to include incentives concerning the career home run record currently owned by Barry Bonds. Rodriguez hit 54 homers last season with 156 RBI and batted .314. But he struggled in the playoffs and the Yankees were eliminated in the first round for the third straight year.

I was kind of disappointed because I has hoping that he would try out our MudHens here in Toledo but I know that money talks so his decision to stay with the Yankees was coming soon enough. Well I wish him the best and a good luck on reaching Bond's record.

When I spoke to my 20 year old daughter the other day about what she might want to do as a career she surprisingly mentioned that she was looking for a flight attendant career school where she can learn and gather some extra training that can help her achieve her goal. I told her that I just visited a site where they can help her with her courses as well as a few other types of classes that she might consider as well. This Flight school blog has everything you can ever need and want to prepare yourself for the right career path. My daughter has also thought about applying for the Ticket Agent course as well as the Gate Agent course. If you love to fly or you enjoy working with others especially with customers and you know that having a strong sense of helping people when the need is in high demand then you should definitely visit and sign up for one or more of their courses today. I know that my daughter loves to assist others when they feel that no one else is around to help them. She and I have taken the time to visit, we both agree that the site is very user friendly and the information listed was of great help.

Bonds Indicted...

2007-11-16T06:56:00.000-05:00

SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -- Major League Baseball's all-time home run leader Barry Bonds has been indicted in San Francisco on five counts of perjury and obstruction of justice.
Documents were filed Thursday in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in San Francisco in connection with Bonds' Dec. 4, 2003, grand jury appearance, during which he testified he did not knowingly take performance enhancing drugs supplied by Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative (BALCO). Bonds' former mistress, Kimberly Bell, and a former childhood friend, Stevie Hoskins, also have said BALCO supplied him steroids. The indictment of the seven-time National League MVP follows one of the longest federal grand jury investigations in Northern California history.
The 43-year-old slugger, who has consistently denied using steroids, has hit 762 home runs with a career average of .298 in 22 seasons with Pittsburgh and San Francisco. His historic 756th homer came Aug. 7 this year against Washington.
He is a free agent after the Giants decided not to re-sign him.

Ricky and Dolphins...

2007-11-15T04:00:00.000-05:00

DAVIE, Fla. (UPI) -- The National Football League announced Wednesday Miami running back Ricky Williams can return to action late this month. Williams has been suspended since the 2005 season for violating the league's drug policy.
"Ricky Williams was notified this morning by Commissioner (Roger) Goodell that he has been reinstated as an NFL player," the league said in a statement. "Williams can begin attending team meetings and practicing immediately, but will not be eligible to play in games until Week 12 when the Dolphins play at Pittsburgh (Monday night, Nov. 26). The Dolphins will receive a roster exemption for Williams for up to two weeks when he begins practicing, starting no later than Monday." Williams was suspended in April 2006 for his fourth violation of the league's anti-drug policy. He then signed a one-year deal with Toronto of the Canadian Football League, where he ran for 623 yards. He missed two months of the 2006 season with a broken arm. His reinstatement to the NFL does not guarantee he will be on the Miami roster. Miami Coach Cam Cameron said Wednesday that he and Williams, "will sit down and visit."

My wife might be thrilled to hear that her favorite player is back but then again will he make a huge difference in how they are currently playing? I hope that for the teams sake they try and improve their defensive team, because from what I've seen they need it pretty bad.

Justice or Street Justice?

2007-11-14T10:21:00.000-05:00

This post is one that will go down as one that will keep us wondering why not build a moat. A man fleeing from police near Miami, Florida, jumped in a pond and was eaten by a large alligator. Now I don't know if the man was a native to the area but I guess the sign you see to the right was not seen by the gentleman. I would call this justice served, would you consider it street justice or just justice? Either way this should be a story for all crooks to remember - always plan your route before attempting to rob someone or some place. What an idiot, he should taken his chances with the cops instead of taking a short cut.

Hold that pose...

2007-11-12T22:08:00.000-05:00

The camera you see to the right is one that I've been eying for about a month and a half now. I'm a photographer well actually a novice but I help my wife out when she's working through out the city covering several political events as well as public events. We have a digital camera now but it's not exactly the best. It's not like the Nikon D300 where you're zoom quality goes above and beyond what our camera can do now. I would be thrilled and of course excited if I were to get one for my birthday which is in May or maybe sooner like Christmas. When I'm not taking pictures for my wife I usually visit different locations throughout Toledo and I tend to take pictures of objects that the average person wouldn't even think about, for example if I'm walking down the street and there happens to be a piece of newspaper on the street I would stop and look for a certain angle and then take a picture of it. It's the look of it that attracts my eye, some call it art I call it just another perspective. Now that I think about it I can't remember the last time I took a roll of film to have developed. It's amazing how much money we've saved since the digital bug bit us.

Buckeyes lossing 1...

2007-11-11T12:09:00.000-05:00

COLUMBUS, Ohio (UPI) -- Juice Williams threw four touchdown passes Saturday afternoon, as Illinois knocked off the top-ranked and previously unbeaten Ohio State Buckeyes, 28-21. Williams threw for 140 yards on 12-of-22 passing and also ran for 70 yards for the Fighting Illini (8-3, 5-2 Big Ten), who defeated a nationally top-ranked team for the first time since they beat Michigan in 1956.
Marques Wilkins, Michael Hoomanawanui, Brian Gamble and Jacob Willis all caught touchdown passes from Williams in the victory. Todd Boeckman struggled behind center, completing 13-of-23 passes with no touchdowns and three interceptions for the Buckeyes (10-1, 6-1), who suffered their first loss of the season and saw their 28-game regular season win streak end.

We're one week away and the Buckeyes have shown a little normalcy. The top ranked Buckeyes have gone down during the Ohio Illinois game. With just a week before the big game here between the Bucks and the Wolverines a lot of speculation is going around that this might not go so well for Michigan, with Ohio losing the way they did this may charge them up for the next game. I on the other hand see this as a possible plus - they're hurting right now so a game against Michigan might make things worse for the Bucks. All Michigan has to do is present a strong front keep the momentum moving forward and don't look back.

Free agent Roger Clemens

2007-11-10T20:04:00.000-05:00

NEW YORK (UPI) -- Roger Clemens, who has told the Houston Astros he is ready to fulfill a personal services contract, officially filed for free agency Friday. That move leaves open the possibility Clemens might pitch in the majors for a 25th season. Clemens was one of three players to file for free agency Friday, bringing the total to 146 who have done so since the filing period began last week. Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Randy Wolf and Tampa Bay designated hitter Greg Norton also filed.
Clemens does not have to officially retire to start his personal services contract, a 10-year deal he signed with the Astros in 2004. He agreed to the deal then because he expected to retire at the end of that season. But he pitched again for the Astros in 2005 and 2006. He then signed a one-year deal for the New York Yankees and went 6-6 with a 4.18 ERA in 18 games last season.

One down many to go...

2007-11-09T21:04:00.000-05:00

NBA: Chicago 97, Detroit 93
CHICAGO (UPI) -- Joe Smith and Tyrus Thomas combined to make three free throws in the final 17 seconds Thursday night, boosting the Chicago Bulls past Detroit, 97-93.
Chicago won its first game of the season and Detroit lost for the first time. The Bulls were nursing a one-point lead when Smith made two foul shots with 17 seconds to play. After Detroit's Richard Hamilton missed a three-point attempt, Thomas was fouled. Needing to make only one free throw with two seconds remaining to clinch the win, Thomas missed his first attempt. But the second one was good, giving him 19 points for the game.
Luol Deng added 17 for the Bulls, who had lost their first four games of the season. Detroit, which had opened the campaign with three straight wins, got 36 points from Rasheed Wallace. Wallace, Hamilton and Chauncey Billups combined to score all but 25 of Detroit's points. This was the first meeting of the teams since Detroit eliminated Chicago in six games in last season's conference semifinals.

Now that Da Bulls have one in the locker they can focus on the next win and continue their efforts to become a great force throughout the season.

Get the Devil out...

2007-11-09T20:08:00.000-05:00

Tampa Bay drops 'Devil' from nickname.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (UPI) -- The Tampa Bay Devil Rays dropped the "Devil" from their name Thursday while introducing a new image.
"We are now the 'Rays' -- a beacon that radiates throughout Tampa Bay and across the entire state of Florida," said Stuart Sternberg, the team's principal owner. "Tampa Bay and the Sunshine State are beautiful places. We want the Rays to reflect the best our region has to offer." The team also changed its colors, replacing green and black with a combination of navy and light blue. New uniforms were introduced as well, featuring the new colors along with a yellow sunburst that emerges from behind the letter, "R."

This is the beginning of a good thing, now if we can only take of the others that have bad names like The Florida Marlins,The Arizona Diamonbacks heck even The Minnesots Twins, has anyone done a research as to what their twins of? Let's not even mention the Washington Nationals.

Where were you?

2007-11-07T23:04:00.000-05:00

Where do I start, I can share many stories with you about the many embarrassing moments when I thought that what I paid for would actually work and stay put. It was early March of 1997 at my brother's wedding anniversary that I came across a very embarrassing moment that I try to forget. A week before that event I had gone in to the dentist to get a cap placed on my bad tooth. Well my brother had a little side game that night that involved apples and a small shallow container, basically bobbing for apples except with punch instead of water. Well after most of the guests went ahead of me and had a good time it was finally my turn and wouldn't you know it right from the first bit the cap came of ans it was stuck to one of the apples, I didn't notice it at first but my niece sure did and of course to make matters worse she had to announce to the entire crowd that she has found a tooth and that it probably belonged to me. I just wanted to hide in the dark until everyone went home, but I mustered up the energy and had a laugh and even thorugh in a joke to ease the pain. If I only had Dentemp OS right then I could of at least saved myself at least an hour of pain before continuing the party fun. The temporary dental repair would of gotten me through the night until I saw my dentist the following day. Prevent an embarrassing moment from happening, keep some of this stuff handy in case you get the unexpected surprise like I did.

Randy Moss named to weekly player honor

NEW YORK (UPI) -- New England Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss Wednesday was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week.
In a 24-20 victory against Indianapolis, Moss scored once on nine receptions for 145 yards. Pittsburgh linebacker James Harrison (defense), and San Diego defensive back Antonio Cromartie (special teams) were the other AFC honorees. Harrison had nine tackles, one interception, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, and 3 ½ sacks as the Steelers trounced Baltimore, 38-7. Cromatie returned a missed field goal 109 yards for the longest play in NFL history in the Chargers 35-17 loss to Minnesota.
Named in the NFC were Vikings' running back Adrian Peterson (offense), who scored three times while rushing for an NFL single-game record 296 yards on 30 attempts, Detroit tackle Shaun Rogers (defense), who raced 66 yards for a touchdown after a pass interception in the Lions 44-7 rout of Denver, and Washington placekicker Shaun Suisham (special teams), who booted five field goals in a 23-20 overtime win over the New York Jets.

It would of been nice to see some of the players from the 49ers team mentioned but it looks like they have to do a little more to get that special announcement. With the way things are going thus far for the niners I hope that they at least get one or two more wins before the season is over.

November's the month...

2007-11-07T21:45:00.000-05:00

I don't know how many of you out there realize but November is Alzheimer's Awareness Month. I want to make sure that those of you who have a loved ones would take the advantage and have them go through a screening to detect early signs of Alzheimer's. I strongly advise you to notify your older friends as well as family members of the screening so that they can either go on their own terms or have you accompany them. I currently have two aunts that have some memory issues from time to time. They are currently dealing with the problem but we all as a family don't think it's related to Alzeimers but we are going to have them visit their local clinic to have themselves screened for early detections. You can consider this as an early holiday gift from you to them.

Big East tournament expands to 16 teams
PHILADELPHIA (UPI) -- All 16 Big East Conference members will take part in the league's post-season basketball tournament beginning in 2009, Big East officials said in Philadelphia. The league said the decision to expand its tournament from 12 to 16 teams was made Tuesday at the Big East's annual presidents' meeting.
"Our presidents performed a very thorough review of the tournament format," Big East Commissioner Mike Tranghese said in a release. "After extensive deliberation, it was decided that inviting all teams to participate would provide a special opportunity to every men's and women's basketball student-athlete."
The current arrangement has the top 12 teams in the regular-season standings qualifying for the Big East post-season tournament. In 2009, all 16 teams will advance with the eight lowest seeded teams -- determined through regular-season standings -- playing the first day and the winners going against seeds 5-8 on the second. The top four regular-season finishers will have byes into the round of eight. This decision was a great decision if you ask me. This would improve the outcomes to anyone who has an office pool going with the other employees.

Here at home I have two daughters that spend many afternoons reading their favorite books. It seems that they have chosen Thursday as their reading night. I have mentioned to them that there is a company that specializes in Reading Tutors that help students focus on the way they read a book and are able to comprehend what they're reading as well as being able to read at a pace where the students won't be discouraged to learn and enjoy reading. Visit the site and see where the nearest center is.

The Farm...

2007-11-04T16:04:00.000-05:00

I went to MacQueens farm yesterday to find myself buying some nice size apples and of course their specialty donuts for my wife and my daughter. The day was pretty nice and it was rather warm out. The view of fall in the trees surrounding the farm was a thing of beauty. As you can see I took some pictures of the products being sold at the market. The colors in that picture are just a few of what I saw at the market. If any of you are within the area and you know of this farm please stop by before the cold hits and walk through the apple trees and select your own apples, the experience is unforgettable.

A Good Concert...

2007-11-04T13:23:00.000-05:00

My wife and I were honored to attend and support our youngest child at her second chorus concet at Bowsher High School. She and her group performed very well, the songs they chose were sung excellently. In case you're wondering which one is my kid - she's on the top row she's the third one from right to left. Their performance was very well put together and you can tell that they had a good time performing. As most of you might already know my wife is a very emotional person especially when it comes to watching her youngest perform on stage, well she had a few tears escape hence causing her to cry during the event. I'm proud of you Aubrey and I hope to see many more performances from you and your group.

Biotene Sensitive...

2007-11-03T20:10:00.000-04:00

Have you ever wondered if there was a toothpaste out there that can help you with your sensitive situation? Well if you're just like I was where the only thing that would help was brushing my teeth with really warm water then let me introduce you to Biotene's new product. This new product that you see to the left is not the tooth brush but the actual tube itself. This new sensitive toothpaste made me feel a little better when I tried it this afternoon. Usually I would need to use warm water to brush my teeth but with the new Biotene sensitive toothpaste I find myself enjoying a normal encounter with brushing my teeth. This fine product would of saved me a whole lot of money on natural gas, yes natural gas because I have a hot water heater and with me brushing three times a day that would of been nice to keep that extra cash in my pocket :)
I strongly advise those of you viewing and reading this post to try this toothpaste out if you have sensitivity issues when brushing. They don't just help you the moment you need them but they resolve the problem as well.

A-Rod in the Glass City?

2007-11-02T14:37:00.000-04:00

Alex Rodriguez isn’t going to be a Tiger in 2008, but maybe he’ll consider an offer from the Toledo Mud Hens. On Sunday, after SI.com reported that Rodriguez would opt out of his contract and become a free agent, New York Yankees senior vice president Hank Steinbrenner told the New York Times, “Does he want to go into the Hall of Fame as a Yankee, or a Toledo Mud Hen?” The Mud Hens figured they should give him that opportunity. Dan Royer, a graphic designer for the team, created a mock Hall of Fame bust, with Rodriguez wearing a Toledo hat. The Mud Hens also prepared a letter that they plan to mail to Rodriguez’s agent, Scott Boras. Included is a contract offer with incentives if he hits 75 home runs per season and leads Toledo to 10 straight Governors’ Cup titles.
There is a catch, of course.
The letter includes a reminder that Mike Hessman – the International League’s reigning Most Valuable Player – is the Mud Hens’ everyday third baseman.
“We think that it would be a healthy competition at spring training between the two of them,” it reads. “Would your client be willing to play a different position?”
By Jon Paul Morosi -
Detroit Free Press Sports Writer

I believe we should welcome him with open arms and hearts. We have a great crew in The Mud Hens and we can always use an addition to the club. Let's see what happens with this one and I would have to agree that he might bring in a bigger fan crowd and a bit more money to the area which Toledo canuse right now and in the future.

Dirty or Clean?

2007-11-02T09:52:00.000-04:00

LOS ANGELES (UPI) -- Barry Bonds said Thursday he would turn down entry into the Hall of Fame if an asterisk is placed on the baseball he hit to break Hank Aaron's career record. Bonds, who made the vow during an interview with MSNBC, broke Aaron's mark of 755 homers this year and finished the season with 762. He was released by the San Francisco Giants at season's end. The ball Bonds hit to establish the record was purchased by fashion designer Marc Ecko for $752,000 and Ecko gave fans a chance to vote on the Internet on what they thought should happen to the ball.
Fans voted to send the ball to the Hall of Fame with an asterisk marked on it as a symbol of Bonds' alleged use of performance enhancing drugs. "I don't think you can put an asterisk in the game of baseball," Bonds said in the interview. When asked what he would do if the ball was displayed with an asterisk, Bonds said:

"I will never be in the Hall of Fame. Never. I won't go. I won't be part of it, I won't be there. You can call me, but I won't be there."

It bothers me that although there have been many accusations towards Bonds about the juicing of the performance drug and no one has yet to show some kind of proof. You would think that if in fact he did use the additives some one would of busted him on it by now. Allow the ball to be placed in The Hall of Fame without the asterisk next to it because until proven dirty, he's clean. How many players in the league have large numbers of RBIs and stolen bases? Quite a bit right, well let's say we add an asterisk to there number total and add a text saying "Well so and so got that last boost of numbers because the last team the played completely sucked so his total counts but it's under restraint due to lack of a challenge from the opposing team." Now that would completely enrage the player accomplishing that task of greatness. Now if it turns out that he was walking around with an IV pumping the stuff in then I guess I'll take back my words and agree that the ball should not only have an asterisk but it should be placed in the cleaning supply closet for all to see where dirty accomplishments go.

Volunteers to honor...

While watching the news last night and again tonight online I want to send a special thank you to the couple that have taken the time to take the course and passing it with such a passion for the safety of their fellow neighbor and stranger. That couple is none other than Rick and Lynn Melchert. Thank you for taking the time to help the police force by offering your time and energy. What we need here in Toledo is something similar to what they have done but with the police vehicle problem we have this wonderful program won't work all that good here, but it would be nice for Toledo to look into it.

Taking advantage...

Every body knows that the holidays are just a few weeks away and that the special sales that occur on black friday makes a lot of people feel good inside when they try to find that special gift. Well you can do all that and feel better whn you show up with coupons that might not be known by all of those waiting in line for hours. My mother is a huge IKEA Coupons shopper, she is planning on visiting me just before the big day so that she can get a nice visit and a great shopping experience here in Toledo. I can guarantee you that she will be spending a lot of money and I mean in the hundreds range. Yes I know that the kids here will probably get the most of the gifts but I can still wish that I get something too. Even if I don't get that special DVD collection (hint hint), I will still have a great time shopping with my mom. I intend on showing her all the coupons she can get and all the money she can save when she and I visit BlackFriday.net. I urge you all that are reading this to remember to visit Black Friday.net and get the details on saving yourself some extra cash and a long line headache.

ANT

2007-10-30T20:31:00.000-04:00

GM-OnStar ANT
General Motors has been actively researching continuous car-to-car data communication as a way of optimizing traffic flow and crash avoidance. GM's OnStar service provides a working basis for such a system. The ANT would be the ultimate expression of this sort of technology. It would act independently but do so while in continuous communication with other vehicles around it.
Within the vehicle itself, different parts, including body panels and wheels, could act independently, as well, but in communication with one another. This way, the ANT could change its shape to suit various needs. It could change from an aerodynamic speedster, for example, to a comfortable mobile office space.

This concept although very interesting would probably work better for my wife the blogger instead of me the web surfer/blogger. Reading the article it turns out it can turn into an office, which like I said would work better for my wife because she is a political junkie and blogging is what she does for a living. I can imagine what the price tag must be for something this creative.

Many of you look around and you ask yourself that maybe if you had some Plastic Surgery done you can get that needed confidence to fulfill your career or dream. Well I can tell you that I have had the same thought as well. If I was only a few pounds lighter I might be able to last longer when playing with my kids baseball or basketball. If and when you decide to get that surgery for yourself make sure that you do your homework before signing any deals. Read this linked article and see why Times chose MYA as a respectable company for these types of surgeries.

Game 4 goes to the Red Sox as well as the World Series Trophy...

2007-10-29T09:50:00.000-04:00

MLB: Boston 4, Colorado 3
DENVER (UPI) -- Mike Lowell homered and scored a run Sunday night, as the Boston Red Sox beat Colorado, 4-3, to complete a four-game World Series sweep. After the game, Lowell was named series MVP. Bobby Kielty also homered for Boston, and Jason Varitek and David Ortiz each drove in a run. Jacob Ellsbury had two hits and scored a run for the Red Sox, who won the World Series for the second time in four years. They previously won it all in 2004. Garrett Atkins hit a two-run home run and Brad Hawpe had a solo shot to account for the Rockies' scoring.

Red Sox starter Jon Lester pitched 5 2/3 innings, holding the Rockies scoreless on three hits, with three strikeouts and three walks. Reliever Jonathan Papelbon earned the save, pitching 1 2/3 innings of no-hit ball, with one strikeout. Colorado starter Aaron Cook took the loss, giving up three runs on six hits over six innings, with two strikeouts and no walks

Game 3 goes to the Red Sox...

2007-10-28T10:24:00.000-04:00

DENVER (UPI) -- Jacoby Ellsbury had four hits, drove in two runs and scored twice Saturday night, as the Boston Red Sox beat Colorado, 10-5, to go up 3-0 in the World Series. Dustin Pedroia had three hits, drove in two and scored a run, and Mike Lowell had two hits, two RBI and two runs scored, as the Red Sox continued their mastery over the Rockies. Boston has won the first three games of the World Series by a combined score of 17-7, and has out-hit Colorado, 32-23. Red Sox starter Daisuke Matsuzaka (1-0) held the Rockies to two runs on three hits in 5 1/3 innings -- and contributed a two-run single during a six-run third inning.

The Red Sox led, 6-1, when the Rockies came up with two runs in the sixth and three in the seventh, when Matt Holliday stroked a three-run home run to make it 5-5, Boston. Ellsbury drove in a run with an eighth-inning single, and then scored on Pedroia's two-run double, to put the Sox back in control. Game 4 is set for Sunday in Denver, with Jon Lester set to start for Boston and Aaron Cook getting the start for Colorado.

Red Sox lament losing the DH
DENVER (UPI) -- Boston will be without the designated hitter when the World Series shifts to Denver this weekend. It will not be in effect Saturday night when the Rockies are home for Game 3, and the Red Sox will be down an automatic batter with first baseman Kevin Youkilis on the bench. The DH rule, often criticized, was established by the American League in 1973.

It forces Boston to use its normal DH, David Ortiz, at first, while pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka will bat for himself because the game is in an NL city. Boston, up 2-0, loses defense with Ortiz at first and Youkilis on the bench. "'Youk' is a really good hitter, but they won't let us play all three of them," said Manager Terry Francona. "So we'll go with this." When the series' first two games were played at Boston's Fenway Park, Colorado used its right-fielder, Ryan Spilborghs, at DH.
The Rockies did openly oppose the rule.

Stop Scammers...

2007-10-27T18:56:00.000-04:00

I got this little FYI from a co-worker that I consider a good friend, read it and please watch out for scammers...

NEW CREDIT CARD SCAM

The Holiday Season is just a little bit down the road and the bad guys are
already trying to get free stuff by using your credit.

This one is pretty slick since they provide YOU with all the information,
except the one piece they want.  Note, the callers do not ask for your card
number; they already have it.

This information is worth reading.  By understanding how the VISA and
MasterCard Telephone Credit Card Scam works, you'll be better prepared to
protect yourself.

One of our employees was called on Wednesday from 'VISA', and I was called
on Thursday from 'Master Card'.  The scam works like this: Person calling
says, 'This is (name), and I'm calling from the Security and Fraud
Department at VISA.  My badge number is 12460.  Your card has been flagged
for an unusual purchase pattern, and I'm calling to verify.  This would be
on your VISA card which was issued by ( name of bank).  Did you purchase an
Anti-Telemarketing Device for $497.99 from a Marketing company based in
Arizona ?' ........

When you say 'No', the caller continues with, 'Then we will be issuing a
credit to your account.  This is a company we have been watching and the
charges range from $297 to $497, just under the $500 purchase pattern that
flags most cards. Before your next statement, the credit will be sent to
(gives you your address), is that correct?' You say 'yes'.......

The caller continues - 'I will be starting a Fraud investigation.  If you
have any questions, you should call the 1- 800 number listed on the back of
your card (1-800-VISA) and ask for Security. You will need to refer to this
Control Number.  The caller then gives you a 6 digit number. 'Do you need me
to read it again?'

Here's the IMPORTANT part on how the scam works.  The caller then says, 'I
need to verify you are in possession of your card.' He'll ask you to 'turn
your card over and look for some numbers.' There are 7 numbers; the first 4
are part of your card number, the next 3 are the security Numbers' that
verify you are the possessor of the card.  These are the numbers you
sometimes use to make Internet purchases to prove you have the card.....

The caller will ask you to read the 3 numbers to him.  After you tell the
caller the 3 numbers, he'll say, 'That is correct, I just needed to verify
that the card has not been lost or stolen, and that you still have your
card.  Do you have any other questions?' After you say, 'No,' the caller
then thanks you and states, 'Don't hesitate to call back if you do', and
hangs up. ....

You actually say very little, and they never ask for or tell you the Card
number.  But after we were called on Wednesday, we called back within 20
minutes to ask a question.  Are we glad we did! The REAL VISA security
Department told us it was a scam and in the last 15 minutes a new purchase
of $497.99 was charged to our card.

Long story - short - we made a real fraud report and closed the VISA
account.  VISA is reissuing us a new number.  What the scammers want is the
3-digit PIN number on the back of the card. Don't give it to them. Instead,
tell them you'll call VISA or Master card directly for verification of their
conversation.

The real VISA told us that they will never ask for anything on the card as
they already know the information since they issued the card!  If you give
the scammers your 3 Digit PIN Number, you think you're receiving a credit.
However, by the time you get your statement you'll see charges for purchases
you didn't make, and by then it's almost too late and/or more difficult to
actually file a fraud report.

What makes this more remarkable is that on Thursday, I got a call from a
'Jason Richardson of Master Card' with a word-for-word repeat of the VISA
scam.  This time I didn't let him finish. I hung up! We filed a police
report, as instructed by VISA.  The police said they are taking several of
these reports daily!  They also urged us to tell everybody we know that this
scam is happening. Please pass this on to all your family and friends.  By
informing each other, we protect each other.

An excellent opinion...

2007-10-27T17:46:00.000-04:00

It all seems to be coming together now, at just the right time, much as it did in 2004 after the Red Sox staged the greatest comeback in the history of sports to vanquish the Yankees in that year’s ALCS.

The comment above is that of Corey Fyke Day Staff Writer , his piece on the past and present of Boston's standings are true to the fact. I became a Red Sox fan even more this year because of my brother Chelo. He i definitely a die hard fan, my uncle from Boston has been a fan for pretty much his whole life. I am glad to have become a stronger fan to this excellent ball club, watching them play against the Indians brought me some memories of watching a game with my uncle when I was younger and I had gone to visit him for a week. I have been to Fenway before but it would be nice to go there with my uncle and my brother at the same time. Read Mr. Fyke's complete article by clicking on the link at the bottom labeled 'Article', his entry is a definite read don't miss it.

Game 2 goes to the Red Sox...

2007-10-26T11:04:00.000-04:00

MLB: Boston 2, Colorado 1

BOSTON (UPI) -- Mike Lowell doubled in the go-ahead run in the fifth Thursday night, as the Boston Red Sox beat Colorado, 2-1, to take a two-game lead in the World Series. After pounding out 17 hits and winning easily in the series opener, the Red Sox captured a tense struggle in Game 2, despite stranding a dozen runners. Colorado will be at home for Game 3 Saturday night in the first World Series game ever played in Denver.
Boston starter and winning pitcher Curt Schilling allowed four hits and a run through 5 1/3 innings. With two on and two out in the sixth, Hideki Okajima came on to end the threat. Okajima struck out four and did not allow a hit over 2 1/3 before being replaced by closer Jonathan Papelbon, who got the last four outs and moved the Red Sox within two wins of their second World Series title in three years. Colorado scored in the first when Willy Taveras raced home from third on Todd Helton's ground out. Jason Veritek's sacrifice fly tied it in the fourth. The Red Sox tied it with two out in the fifth, when David Ortiz walked, went to second on a single by Manny Ramirez and came in on Lowell's two-base hit off Ubaldo Jimenez.

I was unable to watch the entire game last night because my youngest daughter had her first chorus concert and my wife had a forum to attend at Devaux Junior High. When I got home it was the bottom of the 7th and I was feeling a bit tired. The outcome although low was still predictable, they are up two games to none and that is all that counts in my opinion. All they need now is two more games and the season is over.

A true garage...

2007-10-25T23:52:00.000-04:00

Here in Toledo we really don't have Prefab Concrete Garages that would be ready for the buyers. Visiting this site gave me an understanding that not all garages are not the same regardless to the likeness. If you are tired of having a wooden garage like I do and would like something that will last you a lot longer then you need to invest in purchasing yourself a nice concrete garage.
"We will not be beaten on price!"
With a direct and strong statement like that you know that they mean business, select what is practical for you and you can rely on a price tag matching exactly what you're looking for.

2007-10-25T23:39:00.000-04:00

Thus far the Red Sox are doing pretty darn good. I was hoping for another blow out but I'll take a win even if it's smaller the the first one.

Ubaldo Jimenez did his best to make Colorado forget about Game 1, but Mike Lowell's RBI double in the fifth inning knocked out Jimenez and has given the Red Sox a 2-1 lead in Game 2 of the World Series. Curt Schilling? He went 5 1/3 strong innings.

The night is still young, the game is still 2-1 in Boston's favor. I hope to wake up with the Sox having a 2-0 lead over the Rockies.

Sales Training...

The way a business is run would depend on how the training was conducted. Most companies out there do not put the time and effort into training their staff. What they do is simply known as the short cut into business. A Sales Training Courses UK would help your new business even an older business run at a smoother scale with out any of the problems that other courses put you through. Thy have perfected their plumbing courses now they have put their success into creating a great training program that will spread and help many business owners get the extra edge on the market.

Game 1 goes to the Red Sox...

2007-10-25T09:27:00.000-04:00

MLB: Boston 13, Colorado 1

BOSTON (UPI) -- A lead-off homer by Dustin Pedroia was the first of 17 Boston hits Wednesday night as the Red Sox blasted Colorado in Game 1 of the 103rd World Series, 13-1. Boston's Josh Beckett improved to 4-0 in the playoffs, giving up a run on six hits with nine strikeouts over seven innings, but it was the long procession of two-out Boston hits that turned the game into a rout as Colorado, making its World Series debut, lost for the first time in 10 games and for only the second time in 23 contests.
The Red Sox had 11 hits and scored 11 times after two were away. Three of those runs came on consecutive bases-loaded walks during a seven-run fifth inning. The 12-run victory margin was the largest ever in a World Series opener. Pedroia drove in two runs, as did David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez, Jason Varitek and J.D. Drew. Colorado starter Jeff Francis surrendered six runs on 10 hits in four innings. Rain fell off and on during the contest while temperatures were stuck in the low 50s. Curt Schilling will start for Boston in Game 2 Thursday night. Ubando Jimenez will pitch for the Rockies.

Last night's game was exactly what I expected well actually it's a bit more then what I expected. When the bottom of the 5th came even though it was 2 outs on Boston they just kept hitting and walking. This morning I woke reading stories in the news that a slew of fans were cheering at Fenway until late in the night. You have got to love those kind of nights.

Quality Oak Beds...

2007-10-24T21:14:00.000-04:00

Regardless to what bed set you have or what type of bed you have the one thing that you will be asking for is a nice Quality Oak Beds as a gift. I currently own a regular bed without a headboard and believe me it really isn't enjoyable at all. After viewing the collection that Time4Sleep.com has to offer I found myself wanting two of their oak beds. The image you see to the right is one of the ones I like a lot. Visit their site and you will also find yourself wanting something this beautiful. If oak isn't something that fits your style then feel at ease because they have other types of beds that can fit your style and need.

Game 1 is underway...

2007-10-24T20:54:00.000-04:00

It's game 1 and so far it looks good for Boston. Not much is going on thus far but I know that it will change as they get warmed up. My prediction is that Boston will come out on top with a 9 - 3 win over the Rockies. Yes I know that some of you are thinking that I'm celebrating a bit early but I know a sure thing when I see it.

Woodgas Camp Stove...

2007-10-24T11:20:00.000-04:00

Camping season is upon us especially if you like to camp outdoors when the weather gets a bit brisk. I know that my friend Rick would be excited to go camping especially if he knew he had something like the Woodgas Camp Stove instead of the many other camp stoves he has stored in his garage. I can easily see most of the camping community here buying one of these bad boys, most of them want something new that is worth every red penny. While I know others that would buy it because it looks shiny. Check it out and see if this can make it to your list of holiday gifts.

Wakefield on the side...

2007-10-24T08:18:00.000-04:00

BOSTON (UPI) --

The American League champion Boston Red Sox have left starting pitcher Tim Wakefield off their World Series roster.
Wakefield was left off the American League Division Series roster with soreness in his back but was added to American League Championship Series roster and pitched in a Game 4 loss in Cleveland. It was reported that Wakefield has a shoulder injury.
Game 1 of the World Series is set for Wednesday night in Boston. Josh Beckett will start for the Red Sox and Jeff Francis for the Colorado Rockies. Wakefield had a 17-12 record and a 4.76 ERA in 31 starts this past season. But the 41-year-old knuckleballer missed a scheduled start Aug. 31 with a back injury and was just 1-2 in his last five starts. He gave up 39 hits and 24 earned runs over his final 24 2/3 innings.

Tonight being game 1 of the series you know for a fact that my attention will be focused on the game especially seeing what Colorado has to offer. I'll be looking for certain signs from the Rockies pen to see if they really are the Champs in their region.

A great hotel...

2007-10-23T16:33:00.000-04:00

When I travel with my wife we like to stay at a hotel that offers the best and the rates are just that, the best. Most Hotels Blackpool offers don't meet the same standards as the Big Blue Classic Hotel. Recently named hotel of the year Big Blue has had a review done by such customers like S. Conroy, E. Liddle, Diane Poole and many many more witnesses to the grand and elegant nature of the Big Blue Hotel. If you happen to be like my wife where she perfers experiencing it for themselves then please by all means take some time aside when visiting the Blackpool area and check them out. The hotel is looking into improving their site so stayed tuned for that.

Rush on top of things...

2007-10-23T15:30:00.000-04:00

Philanthropist Betty Casey won the Harry Reid "phony soldiers" smear letter with a $2,100,100 donation to the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation (MC-LEF.org). Rush matched that donation with $2,100,100 of his own money. The Democrats donated $0 to the children of our fallen heroes. I was hoping to see Harry himself throw in some cash for the cause but of course he would much rather try to make it look like he and Rush were in on this the whole time by asking those who were listening to him to participate in the bid because after all it was for the kids. What a loser.

Come one come all!

With over 125 rides and attractions and spectacular shows Pleasure Beach Blackpool is the place to take the entire family. October is here and what better way to add that scare to the family then by having them ride the thrilling Revolution ride or on the Pepsi Max Big One. If you're feeling a little old school then ride the classic twin tracked coaster the Grand National. Theme Parks UK has had Pleasure Beach on the map for many years now. Take the time to visit the park and try all the rides, don't leave until each ride is experienced - well don't ride the kids only rides because you might get in trouble. I viewed the Pepsi Max Big One and let me tell you I usually ride pretty much anything but this one might make me think twice before trying it out.

A courthouse that can not go away...

2007-10-22T21:10:00.000-04:00

I posted about this back in July of this year, back then the talk was to bring down the old courthouse that has been around since 1884. It hit the news again today and Rep. Peter Ujvagi (D., Toledo), is working on potential sources to help fund restoration of the vacant courthouse and possibly other courthouses across the state. Mr. Ujvagi is looking at a menu of possible legislative options, including creation of a Texas-style commission to help finance courthouse restoration, a business tax credit to encourage private investment, and capital-budget funding. This courthouse is one of many throughout our state that will potentially meet a fate that is completely opposite from its' opening day. Let hope that a course is taken before such a historical landmark is destroyed.

Staying home...

2007-10-22T21:00:00.000-04:00

n this day in age there are a lot of folks that go a long way to have a good time with some friends. They spend hundreds of dollars getting the group to the destination and then putting in a few more dollars to play either the slots or try their luck at one of the tables. Don't forget that when in the middle of your 'fun' you got some people around you who can't stand still to save their lives because they had too much to drink or you have some obnoxious player that thinks they own a whole row of machines. Look, invite your close friends over to your place log in to one of the online casinos and enjoy some time with your friends without the added headache of going to a casino. If you feel that maybe you want to have a good time with out anyone else then you can do that as well. The point I'm making is that no matter what game you want to play at a casino you can do that from the comfort of your own home and save yourself a few bucks from actually driving there and save money on aspirins for the headache after laving a casino.

Back to the past or maybe the future...

I just saw one of the famous DeLoreans go by me when I came back from lunch. Apparently one of the employees next door owns one, his is in really good shape considering the age of the car. Well when I got back to my desk I did a Google search on the car and found the video below. It turns out that they have a huge warehouse full of parts from fenders to engines. Check out the video and see for yourself what the history was on this little puppy.

Game 7 goes to the Red Sox - and they're going the World Series...

2007-10-22T09:09:00.000-04:00

MLB: Boston 11, Cleveland 2
BOSTON (UPI) -- Dustin Pedroia homered, drove in five runs and scored three times Sunday night, as the Boston Red Sox beat Cleveland, 11-2, in Game 7 of the ALCS.
Pedroia's two-run homer in the seventh cracked open a one-run game at Fenway Park, as the Sox went on to score six runs in the inning on the way to their third straight win over the Indians. After coming back from being down 3-1 in the ALCS, Boston earned its second trip to the World Series in four years, and will take on the National League champion Colorado Rockies in Game 1 Wednesday. The Red Sox won the World Series in 2004. Kevin Youkilis had three hits, including a two-run homer, and Boston starter Daisuke Matsuzaka earned the victory, giving up just two runs on six hits in five innings, with three strikeouts and no walks.
After Hideki Okajima pitched two-plus innings of relief, Boston closer Jonathan Papelbon posted the first six-out save of his career. Grady Sizemore and Ryan Garko each drove in a run for the Indians. Cleveland starter Jake Westbrook took the loss, despite holding Boston to three runs on nine hits in six innings, with five strikeouts and one walk.

Game 6 goes to the Red Sox...

2007-10-21T11:43:00.000-04:00

MLB: Boston 12, Cleveland 2
BOSTON (UPI) -- J.D. Drew hit a first-inning grand slam and Boston scored six times in the third Saturday night, as the Red Sox beat Cleveland, 12-2, to tie the ALCS, 3-3. The Red Sox forced a deciding Game 7 in the American League Championship Series Sunday night in Boston, with the winner advancing to the World Series vs. the Colorado Rockies. Drew went 3-for-5 and drove in five runs, and Julio Lugo added a two-run double for the Red Sox, who have come back from a 3-1 deficit in the series. Kevin Youkilis had three hits with an RBI and scored twice.
The Red Sox are trying to become just the fourth team in 14 post-season series to win after trailing 3-1 in a best-of-seven set. Boston has already accomplished that twice -- rallying for four straight wins to beat the Yankees in the 2004 ALCS and coming back from a 3-1 deficit to top the Angels in the 1986 ALCS. Curt Schilling got the win after pitching seven innings and giving up two runs on six hits. His performance was indeed one to watch over and over again. Fausto Carmona took the loss. He left the game after allowing six hits and seven runs over two-plus innings.
Victor Martinez homered for Cleveland.
The next encounter will be tonight October 21, 2007 at 8:00pm ET.

Game 5 goes to the Red Sox

2007-10-19T12:06:00.000-04:00

MLB: Boston 7, Cleveland 1
CLEVELAND (UPI) -- Josh Beckett extended Boston's season, allowing a lone run over eight innings Thursday night, as the Red Sox downed Cleveland, 7-1. Boston reduced its deficit in the American League Championship Series to 3-2, and will try to square things when the action resumes Saturday in Fenway Park. Beckett, the winning pitcher in the series opener, gave up five hits and struck out 11, while throwing 74 of 109 pitches for strikes. He again got the best of Cleveland's C.C. Sabathia, who surrendered four runs on 10 hits in six innings.
Manny Ramirez, who drew criticism from Boston fans for saying it "would not be the end of the world" if the Red Sox do not win the AL title, singled in the go-ahead run in the third. Kevin Youkilis drove in three Boston runs with a solo homer in the first, a triple during a two-run seventh and a bases-loaded walk as part of a three-run eighth.
Curt Schilling will pitch for the Red Sox in Game 6 Saturday. Fausto Carmona will get the start for the Indians.

A new member...

Of course I had to hold the baby as you can see. Hold a new life in my arms felt really good, it gave me a real sense of how life can be fragile at first but as the years go on you find yourself feeling invincible. God bless you Annika and I love you.

2007-10-17T11:10:00.000-04:00

Do you think horror is on it's way out? Do you think that horror has become something of a gore fest instead of the actual scare? Well let me inform you all that horror is just that 'Horror', the meaning although spelled out in a dictionary as something that is an intense, painful feeling of repugnance and fear. I believe horror's definition is based on the individual that is being asked, for example - I fear cornfields and it's not because of films I've seen it's just the fact that I am a city person and to know that I can get lost in something like a cornfield simply disturbs me to the point of fear. I need to see my surroundings, I do not like to be surprised. Red Scream Films LLC has quite a collection of films that are out and some that are in production that look to be fun to watch. I find neo-grind house flicks to be frightening because the thought of torture in that manner is completely frightening. The indie film industry is growing with each and every movie released. I intend to search the releases by Red Scream Films and purchase a few of them just to add them to my collection.

Game 4 goes to the Indians

2007-10-17T10:05:00.000-04:00

MLB: Cleveland 7, Boston 3
CLEVELAND (UPI) -- Jhonny Peralta hit a three-run homer in a seven-run fifth inning Tuesday as Cleveland pounded Boston 7-3 for a 3-1 lead in the AL Championship Series. Casey Blake started the fifth with a home run for the Indians, who will try to wrap up the best-of-7 series Thursday night at home in Game 5. The American League champ will play the Colorado Rockies in the World Series.
Cleveland starter Paul Byrd (1-0) went five-plus innings, allowing two runs on six hits with four strikeouts and no walks. The Indians are one win away from their first World Series appearance since 1997. Kevin Youkilis, David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez hit consecutive home runs in the sixth inning for the losing Red Sox. It was the second time in postseason history the feat has been accomplished Boston's Tim Wakefield cruised through the first four innings. But Cleveland chased him from the game in the fifth as he left after 4 2/3 innings, allowing five runs on five hits with seven strikeouts.

Bedding for my little girl...

2007-10-15T20:50:00.000-04:00

I hope that I can post this and not have my lovely thirteen year old see it. I have noticed that when I'm shopping at the local stores with her they don't usually carry what she is liking at the moment. Childrens Bedding is just one of the many things that are offered at VisionBedding.com. I can pretty much assume which picture my daughter would love to use for her new blanket. Visit the site and try to keep your kids away so that you can get a chance to pick something before they find out. Yes I know I said 13 year old but she is having trouble letting go of the cute characters from her past.

Illegals are just that illegal...

2007-10-15T15:28:00.000-04:00

I can't take this anymore...
Everytime I hear these people talk it penetrates right down to the bone. Let me get some duct tape and wrap my head with it before I start my rant.
Okay - to all the illegals in Texas and anywhere else for that matter, WHERE COMING FOR YOU! The video link below will probably upset most of you like it did for me. If you are an illegal and you are driving with a fake license then you will be deported, if you are an illegal and you are caught breaking the law you will be deported, if you are an illegal and you get a traffic stop and your license is listed in a list of illegal immigrants then guess what YOU WILL BE DEPORTED. It may not seem fair to those who get caught but what about the immigrants that are taking the courses and paying their dues to become a "Legal" immigrant what about their fairness. These stories keep popping up and of course there's always someone on camera putting words together to make a sentence that only god can understand what the hell their trying to say defending the "rights" of illegals. Now that's an oxymoron for ya 'Illegal Rights'.
I need more duct tape...

MLB: Cleveland 13, Boston 6
BOSTON (UPI) -- Trot Nixon had the go-ahead RBI and Franklin Gutierrez hit a three-run homer in a seven-run 11th Saturday night, as the Cleveland Indians beat Boston, 13-6. The road win at Fenway Park allowed the Indians to tie the Red Sox at one win apiece in their best-of-seven American League Championship Series.
Gutierrez finished with four RBI, Jhonny Peralta had a three-run homer and four RBI, and Grady Sizemore had a solo home run for Cleveland, which put together a 17-hit attack. Tom Mastny (1-0) got the victory, pitching one inning in relief. Eric Gagne (0-1) took the loss. He combined with Javier Lopez and Jon Lester to let in seven runs in relief. After Manny Ramirez hit a two-run homer in the fifth, Mike Lowell followed with a solo shot. Ramirez has 23 career post-season homers -- more than any other player.

Game 1 goes to Boston...

2007-10-13T11:37:00.000-04:00

MLB: Boston 10, Cleveland 3
BOSTON (UPI) -- Manny Ramirez and Mike Lowell drove in three runs each Friday night as Boston opened the ALCS with a 10-3 drubbing of Cleveland. Boston's Josh Beckett, the only 20-game winner in the majors this year, allowed four hits and two runs over six innings to get the win, and was backed up by a 12-hit attack. The Red Sox, trying to reach the World Series for the second time in four seasons, overcame an early deficit and pounded Indians starter C.C. Sabathia. The Cleveland ace gave up eight runs on seven hits with five walks in 4 1/3 innings.
After Travis Hafner homered in the first to give Cleveland a 1-0 lead, Ramirez singled in the tying run in the bottom half of the inning. Ramirez also walked twice with the bases loaded -- as part of Boston's four-run third and again during a two-run sixth. Lowell's ground-rule double in the third delivered two runs and put Boston in front for good. Lowell added a sacrifice fly in the sixth. Bobby Kielty contributed a two-run single in the fifth and scored later in the inning on Jason Varitek's double.
Game 2 is set for Saturday night in Boston.

Romo family receiving prayers...

2007-10-12T20:21:00.000-04:00

DALLAS (UPI) -- The father of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is dealing with prostate cancer. The Dallas Morning News Friday reported 50-year-old Ramiro Romo learned he had the illness late last season when his son developed into an NFL starting quarterback.

"He's your dad,' a worried Tony Romo told the newspaper after practice Thursday.
"Tony and his dad, they really have a good relationship," said tight end Jason Witten. 'I don't think he wants Tony to think a lot about it or want him losing his concentration. But they're best friends, so that makes it harder."

The report added Ramiro Romo is supposed to have surgery, but details of his diagnosis were not available, and a surgery date was not disclosed. Tony Romo said he expects his father to be in the stands at Texas Stadium in Irving when the unbeaten Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots clash Sunday afternoon.

An Interrupted Plan...

2007-10-12T12:50:00.000-04:00

By looking at the image to the right simply disturbs me because for this kid to have this much arsenal and then having the mom being found responsible for purchasing some of the weaponry which includes a 9mm rifle and allowing her son to actually have gun powder in the home. Call me an out of the box thinker here but didn't she get a clue or an insight or heck even a hint that her son was a bit out there. What kid collects guns as a hobby, why I say that - because it would not surprise me if she pleads not guilty due to her thinking it was a collection that he had and that it didn't have any other meaning to it other then that. I need to meet the friend that brought this to the attention of the police because that person needs to be honored for preventing a possible horror.

Clean-up Weekend...

2007-10-12T06:51:00.000-04:00

This weekend will be clean up time. I'm planning on going into my garage and not coming out until it is completely clean. Grant it my garage organization skills are pretty darn good but it would be even better if I had some extra "items" in there that could help me out tremendously. Now if I can only get my wife and friends to read this post and have them unite and get me the added essentials that I so desperately need that would be wonderful.

A day that can be better...

2007-10-11T13:19:00.000-04:00

I woke up this morning with a huge headache and I couldn't shake it no matter what I tried. I finally took about four pills and thus far it seems to have worked. I spent most of my time in my office away from the warehouse (where I do most of work) to try and keep my head away from loud noises. I feel a little better right now so I'm going to try and work out back for a few hours and see if the headache stays away. Just as soon as work is out I plan on going home and resting for a few minutes.
Yes I'm whining.

Optimistic...

I've been very optimistic the past few weeks - How's that you ask? Well I've been picking my favorite team to win since day one and after the first two weeks they've been in a kind of slump. I was hoping that they would of won today's game against Baltimore but it turned out to be disappointing wish. They had it going very well in the beginning but by the third they kind of took a nap and didn't have that fire burning in their bellies. Well regardless of the outcome I'm still going to continue to pick them even if they keep losing. That's what a true fan does.

When in Trouble...

When a pinch comes your way and you know that you just got done paying your current bills and don't have the funds available to help out either yourself or a friend then that's when you consider getting a payday loan. Getting a loan is an added help but you need to make sure that you don't borrow more then you can pay back, the last thing you want is to borrow too much and then have trouble paying that back as well as any other bills that have come up. Borrow responsibly is the key phrase.

Visiting the Big House!

2007-10-07T10:17:00.000-04:00

Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending a Michigan football game and let me tell you that it was worth it from beginning to end. I parked in the Brown Lot which cost us about $15 bucks, they offered those who parking there a shuttle ride to the stadium. It was an enjoyable ride going through one of the golf courses. Another thing that I noticed is that all Michigan fans had a great personality and sense of humor a great bunch to have met personally. The game itself was awesome, as you all might know Michigan won over Eastern Michigan 33 - 22. It felt great being there and witnessing a Big House game first hand. I took lots of photos and created a video stream so that you can see what I saw. Enjoy and have a great weekend.
