I can’t believe my ears what is coming from NASCAR officials today after there was a scrum between Kevin Harvick and Juan Pablo Montoya. These two guys were in a physical altercation and weren’t easily separated when NASCAR individuals finally did decide to step in. Neither guy really wanted to let go of the other one. On top of that you had Kevin Harvick use a bad word in a threatening matter to Juan Pablo Montoya. The FCC doesn’t deem it as a bad word, but please go tell your local policeman what Harvick said and see where you wind up. I’m sure the police will love your FCC explanation.

It’s amazing that NASCAR is seriously thinking about letting this one go. Kevin Harvick has already shown to have a quick temper in the sport and his actions were the worse on Sunday with physical and verbal abuse caught on camera. Now NASCAR is just laying down the ground work for this to happen again. The next thing you know these will be falling off the circuit like car parts at the end of a conveyor line. If my driver gets suspended for hitting another driver or threatening him on National Television, then they better show the same punishment in the future as well.

NASCAR is really messing up! If you saw the most popular driver last year miss the cut for the Championship Race with Dale Earnhardt Jr. failing to finish in the top 10, then NASCAR gave two extra positions this year for him to get in. Now even with the extra help, Earnhardt isn’t going to be in the Cup Race this year either. Suspending Harvick for the rest of the season, which he deserves would help Earnhardt’s chances of getting in. If you are a little E fan, then you might want to push for punishment.

People want to talk about Michael Vick of the Falcons, but fail to see how this event in NASCAR on Sunday was worse than dog fighting and dog killing. These two guys could be holding a grudge and this could result in a human death on the track, and all because NASCAR is allowing this childish behavior. It’s time Kevin Harvick is showed the door and Nascar doesn’t need guys representing the sport in that way. It would be nice to see the local law enforcement take action on this situation and file criminal charges against these 2 drivers.

I see the rich and famous these days are just turning their basements or an area in their home into the ultimate home theater setting. You can see some really big screen projectors in these homes and it’s almost as big as the one the theaters have. I guess the price has started to come down some and you can still get a pretty big size television or projector screen for watching all those great Hollywood movies, for a reasonable price. You just need to add some Home Theater Seating and maybe a bar or refrigerator in the area of your big screen television and you will have a room like the rich and famous have! Just invite a few friends over, make some popcorn and turn up the surround sound and you can have that same theater experience at home! Your own entertainment room like this is also good for getting your friends to pitch in and order the latest Pay Per View boxing match that might be coming on. You can also host this years Super Bowl party and watch the game in style while offering your friends a unique experience that they may not soon forget. Having theater type seating sets the stage for some great times whether you are watching your favorite blu-ray DVD or the latest episode of 24.

I got the new King Diamond album a couple of months ago. It is sweet, though not as sweet as the older material. I think that he’s fallen in love with Livia Zita. She has been on two albums now, “The Puppet Master” and “Give me your soul…please”, which is the new album. For some reason, he doesn’t have the same intensity as he used to. I have a copy of him with a band called “Probot”, and I think that the vocals on the song “Sweet Dreams” were among the best that he has ever done. That song contains almost everything that a King Diamond fan loves him for. It is chock full of the highs and lows that give him that signature sound. Even in the days of “Mercyful Fate” King’s voice has proven to be among the most powerful in the business, rivaled only by the likes of Ronnie James Dio and Mike Howe of “Metal Church”and “Heretic”. The last album though, did not have the same insanely dark characteristics. The story of the album too, is lacking. A lot of the plot points don’t make a lot of sense. Since the first solo album, King has been making “concept” albums. All the songs tell a complete story all the way through. “The Graveyard” is among the very best. The story there is good enough for a summer horror blockbuster. I hope that King gets his groove back for the next project. I would hate to see him go the way of “Metallica”. That would be a true shame.

As we approach the holiday season, it appears that stress seem to go up. A good way to eliminate stress  through exercise. Any type will help. I coach my kids soccer teams, so that definitely helps. Even just getting on a bike and riding for a 20-30 minutes can do the trick. If you spend a lot of time on the PC like I do, you need to take a break every 30-45 minutes, walk outside, or just get away from the monitor. This will also help your energy level if you are working on a project that requires you to be in front of your PC.

Just how fun is it to be in California? So many people living in such a large state and seeing some of the most famous people in the USA and the world living in California, leaves one to wonder what California has? Maybe the riches in Malibu, the thriving business in L.A., or is all the fun in Southern California?

I’m sure with major colleges in the Southern Area of California, that there has to be a lot of fun that goes on in the sun and in the nightlife. The San Diego area is thriving with fun and they have a lot of nightlife entertainment to take advantage of. So many great places to eat and enough nightclubs to have a party at each night of the week. I’m sure while they are rooting for the Chargers, Padres, and Trojans, the San Diego residents have plenty of places to go to and celebrate their team’s win. I just wonder what club or restaurant has the best results, from a successful season by one of their sport’s team? Anyone that thinks they have a business or establishment that is idea for fans to go to after a big win on the sports field, probably would want to consider the San Diego area. Even the events that take place are handled with care from Orange County catering companies like the Bashful Butler. These companies are local to the area and know what it takes to have the Southern California feel. All the teams in Southern California are expected to do well right now and I’m sure a lot of shop keepers are licking their chops now at a Super Bowl, World Series, or maybe just a college championship sports team, for their sales to skyrocket. Even if they don’t win in Southern California, it’s still ranks as one of the best places to go for fun!

Was there ever any doubts which song would fall first in this top 5 countdown? There’s a lot of debating you can do for the top 5 songs by Lynyrd Skynyrd, but only 1 song can be put at number 1. Just to hear the first sounds of that guitar whaling away at the beginning of this song will run chills up ya.It’s songs like that and people that sings songs like that are still around many decades after originally recording them. back then Guitar Amplifiers lacked a lot of the technology that bands enjoy today so you can only imagine what could have been created back in the 1970’s with some of todays power and technology.

There might have been a horrible accident that took away the physical appearance of Lynyrd Skynyrd, but the soul of them original fellers from Jacksonville, Florida can still be felt today. When you listen to this song here, you can rest easy knowing about the horrible faith of some of those members that didn’t survive the crash. You can feel the passion in the way they sung this song and I really believe they were FREE. It’s almost like they knew what was going to happen and they decided to make this song so everyone could rest more easier about them.

An interesting trend started to take place in the early 80’s and can still be heard at concerts today. I’m not exactly sure how it started, but it is very popular to yell the name of this song out at concerts. No matter what singer or group is on stage, you can usually always hear at least one person shout out “PLAY SOME FREE BIRD!”

NUMBER 1 ALL TIME SONG FREE BIRD

Over the past fifteen years or so, many “Credit Repair Companies” or “Credit Clinics” have opened up across the nation. Their main purpose is to help the individual remove incorrect and negative items from their credit report. Unfortunately, some of these outfits are scams from the word “GO” and have given the whole industry a bad name. They take the consumer’s money and then tell them it will take month s to get results, then disappear without a trace. With the information we have provided you with here, you have no need to take that chance. If, however, you decide to hire one of these companies, check them out! First, if the sales person or company uses the word “Guarantee” or “Delete”, Run and don’t look back! There is no way to “Guarantee” that ANYTHING will be removed from the credit report! Think about it for a minute. Unless he or she is going to “hack” into the credit bureau’s computer, how can he guarantee anything? The Clinic is NOT the one that “deletes” the information! Ask to see their license, get a copy of it, and then contact your State’s Secretary of State to make sure that the company has obtained and maintained the necessary license and/or bond.

In the State of Nebraska all companies, organizations, or individuals that provide credit services MUST (with NO exceptions) obtain a “Credit Services Organization License”. If they charge a fee BEFORE they provide the services they promise, they MUST also maintain a $100,000 Surety Bond for TWO YEARS after they cease doing business in the state. While you are on the phone with the Secretary of State’s office, ask if there have been any unresolved complaints against the company. Find out how long they have had their license as well.

I got the Vice City version of the Grand Theft Auto video games. This thing is so fun. You can do virtually anything, it’s so sweet. Your character’s name is Tommy Vercetti, voiced by actor Ray Liotta. His mission is to take over the Miami-like Vice City. The setting is in the 80’s, and they do a good job at perpetuating that image. When you drive around there is a ton of 80’s music to listen to. The missions are really fun and if you don’t feel like doing any of them, you can just wreak havoc around town, or create your own missions. I got a lot of cheat codes from Gamesages.com, and now I can do almost anything. I can change the weather, create low gravity, make cars and even tanks appear out of thin air. I can start a city-wide riot, or make the girls chase me. I can make all the cars explode, or turn them all pink or black. There is so much variety that each gaming session is unique. There are helicopters and even a single engine plane that you can fly. There are also three different kinds of sweet motorcycles. You have a ton of different guns for shooting the bad and good guys alike. It is so easy to spend hours playing and not even realize how much time has passed. Anybody who likes video games would really love this one. I’ve spent quite a bit of time playing it.

Recently my parents had their old reel to reel converted to VHS. They asked me if I could then take the content and covert of digital and edit some of the footage, to take out some of the longer footage, of where the camera was left running. I was able to use some editing software and cut it down a bit, but did not realize the shear size of this video would take on my Hard Drive. So I had to try and do it in segements. I searched the internet and found 100’s of recommendations on the best way to edit over old movies to DVD, but still experimenting.

Plus, today’s home sellers know that other sellers have lost money selling with no-money down. They’ve heard the stories where home sellers didn’t get paid and had to foreclose on a property. They’ve heard the stories where the investor-buyer rented the house to tenants who trashed the property. They’ve heard the stories where the investor-buyer collected the rent and didn’t pay the home seller.
