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.

Rush on top of things...

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.

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.

A worthy raise...

Congratulations goes out to Kathryn Morris on getting a nice raise. Morris will be now be earning from $180,000 - $190,000 an episode and she has two seasons left. Each season runs about 24 episodes and with that kind of money coming her way you can expect her to start dipping her funds as well as talents into other projects that may be upfront or possibly behind the scenes.

Morris is also launching her own production company, which will have a first-look deal with Warner Bros. Television, one of the production companies behind "Cold Case."

Keep an eye out for shows maybe movies with her name attached to it.

Mohegan Sun is moving up...

Reading today's paper in New London I learned that the Mohegan Sun (One of Connecticut's large casinos) is looking to partner up with Capital Play to help run the following tracks -
The Aqueduct
The Saratoga
The Belmont
Here in Toledo we have a track but it's not as large as any of the tracks previously mentioned but it would be nice if the casinos or any casinos for that matter would expand in this direction and bring these tracks up to speed. I'm not saying bring in slot machines I'm saying bring in some larger known restaurants or even some added entertainment. I haven't really hear of anything happening there ever since the 'Earn and Learn' issue.

Four Door Porsche?

I currently own a four door Chevy Cobalt, the four door version makes it easier for me and the family. Growing up I always thought that many fast performing vehicles were only made in a two door version. Well I guess I was wrong, Porsche is set to unveil a new concept in September but it won't be available until next year which would probably make some heads turn. When I imagine a Porsche the first product that comes to mind is the 911, now the first thing that comes to mind when they are mentioned is this new sleek vehicle that will definitely have some mothers and fathers thinking twice about buying one because now they can have their kids with them while looking stylish at the same time.

UFCWexposed.com...

The video above is just one of the reasons why I'm not too union open. I have worked for many retail stores that had union dues and when I needed the unions help on a matter that was occurring in the work place I found myself exploited by both the retail store as well as the union. Watch the video and let me know what you think of it, also visit their site for a little insight on what is currently going on at this union.

I'll buy that for a dollar...

A common phrase used back in the late eighties and early nineties. My sister called me today and asked me if I was interested in purchasing a home for $1. She mentioned that it had a waterfront view, quiet neighborhood and definitely had an independent look to it. Well after I heard all the pros she then continued to give me the cons of the house. If you want to know what the house looks like and what the cons were click this LINK and you'll see what made me change my decision. Well actually if I was able to move I would probably consider it.

The iPhone and more...

Today is the day and so far I've seen a huge number of people buying the new gadget. Here in Toledo there have been reports that the lines were growing earlier in the day at the two locations. I watched a video on CNN that had a gentleman camp out since Monday to get the iPhone. I cannot afford such a wonderful toy just yet but I am planning on having one in the near future. I currently own a MacMini so the iPhone would work great on this little puppy. Hear are a few videos that I saw and watched that are located on my Apple home-page.
Activation and Sync
Keyboard
Rates/Plans
I have watched the presentation of the iPhone earlier this year, grant it I didn't need to watch it but I still did. Watching the demonstration just mad me want it even more. I'm counting my money and saving up for it, hopefully by the time I gather it up it might of dropped a few bucks.

Trash It...

Here in Toledo there was an increase in our garbage fee to five dollars, three and change if you committed to recycling every other week. Well now we hear that some parts of Toledo won't be getting the service that they are paying for. It is being said that trash pickups that fall on holidays won't be picked up until the following week. That will cause some trouble for families that have more then the average amount of trash. I have a quick question - Will those residents receive a lower trash rate when the holidays come and they have to wait an extra week to get rid of it?

Toledo Arena...

The image above is a designed drawing of what the new Toledo Arena will look like. I can't wait until they have this thing built, the crowds that this facility will bring is rumored to be in the thousands. Toledo's light on the map is getting brighter every day.

McDonald's New Look...

Now this McDonalds is one I would be interested in visiting. The layout alone looks great. The fact that they have televisions is awesome. I wonder what type of shows or videos will be playing during the open hours?
