Mac vs. PC - 4 Reasons Why You Should by a PC!

The age old debate still rages, Mac or PC? While many of us are definitely in one camp or the other, as witnessed whenever a Mac and a PC guy/girl get together there is sure to be a debate or even an argument. We have tested, played with, and worked on, many Mac's and PC's in our quest to end the debate once and for all. We have come to the conclusion that both sides have some valid and interesting points but ultimately it comes down to personal tastes, preferences, and purchasing power. Even in our camp of testers we are split, so this first article will list four reasons why you should by a PC. My esteemed colleague will list four reasons why you should by a Mac in the next article. Below is my list of reasons:

4. Hardware - because Mac's or only made by Apple there is really only seven or eight choices of models, so choice is limited. Whereas with PC's there are really hundreds of choices. Anything from the cheap, inexpensive to the Rolls Royce. Many different brands like HP, Dell, Sony, and Toshiba really put this category in favor of the PC.

3. Performance - Although the start up for Mac seems to be much faster than a PC, again this category must go to the PC. The reason is again the PC's diversity of choices. A top of the line desktop or laptop PC will surely out perform its top of the line Mac counter parts like the MacBook Pro or iMac. The many reason is that there are many more companies putting out products for PC's, Mac just can;t stay up.

2. Accessories - I know, I know you are tired of hearing it but this category, again, goes to the PC. In this case quantity is the king. The PC's have many more accessories made specifically for them. It is true that the majority mice, monitors, keyboards, and connectors work for both Mac and PC many more are made specifically for the PC.

1. Price - All I can say here is DUH, not even close! Mac's are much more expensive, in most cases double, compared to their PC counterparts. Again this category is affected by the number of companies that produce PC's, hundreds, compared to Apple and Apple only producing its computers.

For your information I own both a Mac (MacBook Pro
) and a PC(HP Pavilion DV6
) and both have great qualities but for me the price is the kicker of all of the categories and Mac prices aren't even in the ballpark.

Football vs Soccer

I have been around a lot of discussions about football and soccer lately.  Mostly, arguments about which one is better.  My personal preference is football, I grew up football, soccer was just a ball we tried to kick as far and high as we could.  Now don't get me wrong, I respect the skills it takes to play soccer, but it is just not my sort of game.  Here are 4 reasons I think football is a better sport.

1.  Football is the ultimate team sport.  Soccer does not need 11 guys doing the right thing in order to be successful.  During a typical football play, you need 11 guys doing their job for the play to work.  If two guys slack off, then the play won't work.

2. More scoring.  If you watched any Oklahoma Sooner football game this year, you noticed how enjoyable it was to see a great offense at work.  Points were scored at will and I just loved watching them light it up.  Even a low scoring football game can be fun to watch because you know at some point the other team is going to break through the defense.  Soccer on the other hand just doesn't have the ability to light up the scoreboard.  However, if every soccer game ended in a shoot out with a hot girl taking her shirt off, I would probably watch it more.

3.  More strategy.  Football has thousands of different plays that can be ran from hundreds of different formations.  Also, the defense can run many different types of fronts, blitz's, stunts, and coverages.  Special teams are also very unique, many different ways to run them.  Soccer just does not have that many x's and o's.

4.  Physical Contact.  I know that soccer has physical contact, but not 22 different guys going after each other every play of the game.  Which most of the time is between 150 to 200 plays if not more.  I have seen some tough hits during the course of a soccer game, but not as many as I have seen watching football.  I would much rather let Pele tackle me than Dick Butkus or Ray Lewis.

Lets face it, football is a better sport.  What is your argument?

The 4 Best Laptops Under $700.00

The following is a list of what we believe to be the four best all-around laptops for under $700.00. Most laptops in this price range provide many of the same functions and features; so much of our review came down to brand recognition and how familiar we were with each product. Please tell us if what you believe to be the best of the best for under $700.00.

4. Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5904 15.4-Inch Laptop. This laptop is fast, includes plenty of space, and looks sleek and refined. It gets a Vista rating of 3.0 according to Microsoft. We can honestly say that Vista is not so bad. Vista can also be quite pleasing to the eyes after a couple of uses. (2.0 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual Core Mobile Processor, 3 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, DVD Drive, Vista Premium)

3. Toshiba Satellite A355-S6922 16.0-Inch Laptop. If you like to watch movies this computer is great because you can see the screen from any angle without black shadowing. The light-up DVD controls on the top of the keyboard are also a great for quick control of the movie. The speakers are very good quality, with excellent range and can be turned up loud enough to enjoy music or watch a movie from another part of the room.
The Satellite has a built-in webcam that is easily activated with a click. All four USB ports are on the sides near the front, as is the network port.

2. Sony VAIO VGN-NS235J/S 15.4-Inch Laptop. It works fast, it's not too big and you didn't have too much pre-installed things that you have to take care of, and for the price, it's was a bargain. Big bonus here it has 4GB RAM available, which is always nice!!(2.16 GHz Intel Dual-Core T3400 Processor, 4 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, Vista Premium) Silver

1. HP Pavilion Artist Edition DV2890NR 14.1-inch Laptop (Intel Core 2 Duo T5550 Processor, 3 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, DVD Drive, Vista Premium)

Hope all this helps. Good Luck!!!!

Bracketology: NCAA DI Men’s Basketball Tournament

It’s that time of year again to get your brackets filled in and start the competition with your family, buddies, and co-workers. It’s all you ever see on the sports channels and newspapers. You also sit there and listen to those so-called experts talk about the bracket and who will win or lose, and also talk about that Cinderella team that always messes everyone’s bracket up. March Madness always keeps everyone entertained when you fill out a bracket and compete with other people because you don’t just cheer and watch your favorite team, but you also watch your other teams that you’ve picked. Even if you aren’t into basketball, it’s still a lot of fun! Here are my 4 teams in the Final Four:

- From the Midwest Bracket I have Louisville vs. Memphis from the West Bracket.
- From the East Bracket I have Duke vs. North Carolina from the South Bracket
- For the Championship I have North Carolina beating Memphis.

Lose 20 Pounds in Two Months

These are 4 things I did to lose 32 pounds in just over two months. I know the title says Twenty Pounds in Two Months
, but I took it a little bit further. I reached my goal and told myself I can do a little more to lose a little more. You have to be strong-willed! Here it is:
4. Reduce the size of your meals and eat more frequently.
- I’m not here to tell you what to eat or what not to eat, but your meal portions should be reduced a significant amount compared to what you are used to eating on a regular basis.
- Eating a snack between your main meals keeps you from being hungry all day.
3. Have a partner to lose weight with and make it a competition.
- Losing weight is hard enough and if you have someone to do this with, it just makes it a little easier (moral support).
- If you are a competitive person put a wager on who can lose the most weight, this is great for motivational purposes.
2. Make sure you do some high intensity cardio.
- There are many cardio workouts you can do, but I usually stick with running because you can always find a place to run.
- You want to make sure you do this cardio activity for at least 30 minutes a day and usually 5 days a week, no less!
1. Have a goal!
- You want to make sure you are specific about how much you want to lose, make it a realistic goal, and also make sure you have a time frame to reach your goal.

These are just a few ways to lose some weight! Please let us know what you think and don’t be shy to tell us your ways on how to lose weight. We want to hear your story also. Good Luck to All!

4 Websites You Must Visit Before You Travel To Disneyland

My family travels to Disneyland at least once and sometimes twice a year. We have found the following websites to be helpful, informative and excellent for increasing the pre-trip excitement.

4. http://www.universalstudioshollywood.com/special_deals.html - I know you are saying this is the ticket area for Universal Studios Hollywood. I find that I typically can’t afford the magical rush, all Disney, all of the time so I buy a Southern California City Pass. This pass is a great money saver, typically save over $100 dollars per ticket, and we get to go to 5 theme parks at a great rate.

3. http://www.southern-california-beaches-vacation-guide.com/ - I can’t go to Disneyland without going to the beach so I always use this site to try to find a new and unique beach experience for my family. I think two of the most unique beaches we have found are La Jolla Cove and Windansea Beach, look them up.

2. Official Website of Disneyland - You have to visit this site just because it is “The Official Webpage of Disneyland Park” If you want an all Disneyland experience this is the site you will want to use to plan you trip. They will set you up to where you never leave the Disney grounds. It is more expensive going all Disney but what a magical rush.

1. http://miceage.micechat.com/ - This site presents a unique and independent view of Disneyland. If I ever want to know what is happening or will be happening in “The Happiest Place on Earth”, I visit this site. They have all of the editorials, reviews, and guides you will ever need for a Disneyland trip. Also visit their Forum board, Micechat, it will help you plan your trip by letting you know what is in, out, good, and bad.

Top 2 Wireless Providers

AT&T vs. Verizon

How are they the same?

1. Both AT&T and Verizon have a number of plans to choose from that fit any type of user. For example they both have plans that contain prepaid, individual, family, and mobile-to-mobile. Both providers also have a roadside assistance feature.
2. AT&T and Verizon also have standard features in the minutes department such as free nights and weekends, mobile-to-mobile and free domestic long distance.
3. Both providers offer free phones when signing a contract, usually with the minimum of 2 years.

What sets them apart?

1. I believe AT&T is ahead of Verizon in its cell phone selection, quality over quantity. AT&T phones range from basic budget cell phones to smart phones. AT&T is the ONLY cell phone provider to sell the popular iPhone from Apple.
2. What sets Verizon Wireless apart from AT&T is its wide selection of cell phones. Once again AT&T has the smaller selection. Verizon also has a rare feature of not rounding up your minutes. 1:43 is 1:43 not rounded up to 2 minutes.
3. Since we’re talking about minutes, AT&T takes a big lead with its key feature in rollover minutes. Whatever minutes you don’t use from your monthly plan are carried over and added onto your minutes the next month. Rollover minutes let you subscribe to cheaper plans. As your minutes add up you can use them during your busy months.

I have AT&T on top how about you? Hope this helps, Thanks!

4 Sayings to Get You Past Those Daily Doldrums

4. Get busy living or get busy dying! The first time I heard this saying was on the movie "Shawshank Redemption (Buy Now!)" it makes a great deal of sense, you either do or don’t it is that simple.

3. It takes resistance to fly! With out a little push or tug in our lives there would be no real living, embrace it and enjoy life.

2. Whether you think you can or can’t, you are right! This one is attributed to Henry Ford. It makes sense as well because we are what we believe we are, not what others perceive.

1. Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can’t change. This is part of the prayer and it is helpful for those of us who just can’t or don’t want to leave those things we can’t control alone.

Myspace vs. Facebook

Myspace, Facebook, Myspace, Facebook, it’s taking over our lives. These social networking websites are connecting millions of people worldwide. These websites have become very popular with people of many different ages. It’s hard to say which one is better than the other because they both have great features. Myspace seems to be the most popular one, but Facebook is just as good. Myspace is very popular because it’s a site where you can express yourself, put a lot of creative backgrounds, and even have music on your page. Even though Facebook isn’t as personal, its uses to connect with people are very similar to Myspace. These social networks are great if you like to stay in touch with many friends because we all know that we don’t have the time to call everyone. Let us know if you have a Myspace, Facebook, or any other social networking site; and also let us know which one you think is the best. Thank you!

Nascar Fans: The Top 4 Reasons Why They Hate Jeff Gordon

Many Nascar fans have hated Jeff Gordon for many years. I always wondered why, so I did a little research and these are the four reasons that kept popping up.

4. Jeff Gordon is a pre-Madonna. What? Many fans felt that he did not pay his dues, that he was just given the spot on a great team with great equipment.
3. Jeff Gordon is a crybaby. Again, what? Many fans feel that every time he loses he blames someone and cries that it is their fault and not his.
2. Jeff Gordon must be gay. What? Because he doesn’t have a Skoal ring and he originally hails from California he is an outsider to most Nascar fans.
1. Jeff Gordon is treated differently by Nascar. Many fans believe that there is a conspiracy between Nascar and Jeff Gordon that allows Gordon to dominate.

These are the top reasons for hating Jeff Gordon, I for one don’t. I think he is a great athlete with an excellent will to win.

St. Patrick's Day "Who is this Guy?"

St. Patrick’s Day came to America in 1737. This holiday was first publicly celebrated in Boston. Today, people celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with the traditional wearing of green and parades. Many people also celebrate with the drinking of beer and most of the time its GREEN beer.
So what’s the history of this guy, St. Patrick? Well he was born with the name of Maewyn around 385 AD. Before he began turning the native pagans of Ireland into Christians he sort of had a rough start in life. At the age of 16 he was sold into slavery. It was during this time of slavery he found God.

St. Patrick was a slave for six years until he escaped and headed for Gaul. This is where he met up with St. Germain and studied in the local monastery. This is where St. Patrick found his true destiny in life, and that was to turn pagans into Christians.

After returning to Ireland St. Patrick was very successful at converting the pagans and this did not sit well with the Celtic Druids. Patrick was arrested several times, but escaped each time, because that’s how the Irish roll! Throughout the next thirty years he traveled throughout Ireland building and establishing monasteries, schools, and churches.

St. Patrick died on March 17th 461 AD. After his death a lot of fiction surrounds St. Patrick’s Day. Some of these stories include the belief that Patrick raised people from the dead, but we all know that’s reserved for Capitan “Big Guns” upstairs! One of the most famous stories of St. Patrick is that he is said to have given a sermon from a hilltop that drove all the snakes from Ireland. Of course, no snakes were ever native to Ireland.

So what’s the deal with the shamrock? Well St. Padddy used the three-leafed shamrock to explain the Trinity. It is said that he used the shamrock in his sermons to show the representation of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Sprit, hence the Trinity.

Well I hope this clears things up! Thanks

4 more sports movies that you need to see

Here are 4 more sports movies you should see.  Not Bring it On, you are not normal if you think cheerleading is a sport.  I agree that Vision Quest should be seen, but its not my top 4.  Anyways, here are 4 more sports movies that you need to see.

1. Miracle.  Great movie about the US hockey team that defeated the unstoppable Russian team of the 80 Olympics.

2.  Bring it On.  Just kidding, only a guy with a girls name would like this flick.

2.  Rudy.  An inspirational story about the man that made it on the Notre Dame football team.

3.  Varsity Blues.  Funny, hot woman, good football scenes, and a pure classic. A ten, a f***ing ten.

4.  Happy Gilmore.  Very funny movie with a lot of classic one liners that I still use today.  

Alright, lets see some more comments on this post.

Get Out of Debt 4 Ever (Part 2)

So here’s the facts, you either came back looking for more answers or if you’re just joining us… just kept reading, if you came looking for hugs you came to the wrong place feel free to leave anytime. Well looks like you’re ready to get to work so lets get straight to it!!

1. Make a list of all those that you owe and don’t be shy. This includes everyone, thing, person, animal, loan shark, credit company, mob boss, and so on. You may be surprised how much you really owe. You will probably end up saying, “Wow, I owe more than I thought. I was really in self denial, I had myself fooled!!” Now look around make sure no one is around……..now say “Holy smokes I’m an IDIOT!” and say out loud.

2. If you can’t do number 1, you’re obviously still in denial and actually like being in huge debt! Just stating the facts! We’re looking for people who will actually step up to the plate! Last chance, say it out loud!! If you still can’t say it then be on your way please, you’re bugging us, thanks for stopping by!!!

3. Now, at the very top of your list put Family members you owe first then close friends. Let me guess “but I have credit cards with interest pilling up, why aren’t they first?” HEY, no excesses!!! Your calculations up till now haven’t really worked now have they!! Family should come first in everything you do or decision you make, right? If you hit absolute rock bottom, who is going to be there to help you get back up? Your credit card companies, yea right!! How about your family, whom you’ve put first? It also goes with your CLOSE friends as well.

4. After Family and Friends put whatever debt you owe starting with the lowest total amount first. (T.V., laptop, couch, student loan, car 1, car 2, credit card 1, credit card 2…3….4, house……everything and anything smallest to largest debt)

5. Now when you start paying this stuff off start at the top of the list. Believe me you’ll feel great about getting family and friends paid off first. Then family get togethers won’t feel so awkward. Then we’ll knock off one small thing at a time. “Why don’t we start paying the big things off first or the high interest cards?” Ever try eating a 24oz steak in 4 bites without getting a cramp in your jaw or choking to death while some red-necked guy named Butch is giving you the Dodge Hemi-lock? Sound rough? So is attempting to pay off the large debt first. You will feel like you are getting nowhere. So, back to this plan and not Butch’s. Lets order the smaller steak first and take small bites while building up some confidence. Then we’ll tackle the 24 ouncer later.

Keep this list handy as you’ll be looking back on it and checking stuff off as you pay them off. There is one more thing left to do before we get started and that’s in part 3!! Feel free to post any questions. See you next time.

Socialism, Capitalism, Communism – What does it all mean?.

Socialism – Is a broad set of economic policies that advocate state and public ownership or administration of the means of production. Karl Marx, the father of communism stated that socialism is the transition between capitalism and communism.

Capitalism – Is a broad set of economic principals in which the means of production are owned and controlled privately. All means of production and services are decided by a free and open market economy.

Communism – Is a socioeconomic structure in which there is a common ownership of the means of production. Communism works toward a classless, stateless society.

The United States is a “capitalist” or more accurately described “capitalist mixed economy”, which means the means of production are both owned privately and publicly. It seems to be getting more socialist as the government intervenes on a more regular basis, like the “they are to big to fail” bailout. True capitalism would let the market decide if they are to big to fail. Please let the markets decide.

The 4 Best Sport Movies: In my opinion

Here are my picks for the 4 best sports movies.

1.  Rocky IV.  This is the best of all the Rocky movies.  Great 80's pump up music and a classic David vs. Goliath battle.  If you don't get pumped up watching the training sessions and watching the fight scenes, then you have a problem.

2.  Remember the Titans.  What a classic true story, enough said.

3.  Dodgeball.  Dodgeball is a sport whether you like it or not.  Incredibly funny show with a bunch of classic one liners.

4.  Caddyshack.  Another funny movie with a bunch of great one liners.  If you don't laugh your butt off when you watch Bill Murray chop the flowers, then you have problems.

These are my favorites, what are yours?

4 No No's for the Vegas coaching clip

Here are 4 things you should re-think if you are going to the Vegas Coaching Clinic.  None of which have to do with the actual coaches clinic.

1.  If you are leaving Wednesday and the clinic starts on Thursday, get a room!  Sleeping in the hall during registration is not acceptable.

2.  No "warm-ups" in Mesquite.  This turns out to be a full fledged work-out instead of a warm-up.  You end up with doubles when all you need are singles.

3.  No sleeping in the halls or at the clinic.  See #1.

4.  Make sure you research the show before going to it.  You do not want to end up with a broken neck because you fell asleep.

Chuck Norris Cont'

Here's number 8 - 4:

8. When Chuck Norris does a pushup, he isn’t lifting himself up, he’s pushing the Earth down.

7. Chuck Norris counted to infinity “twice.”

6. Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.

5. Chuck Norris is so fast, he can run around the world and punch himself in the back of the head.

GET OUT OF DEBT 4 EVER (PART 1)

This is part one of a no holds barred, absolutely free, and effective way to get out of debt. I’m not a wizard or some famous guru on finance. I’m just a regular person, like you, who had to be told the obvious. I was looking for the magic answer, the quick way to make money, the easy way out, and it was right in front of me the whole time. Sure I read a book or two and that’s what helped me out the most. So…enough about me, listen closely “STOP!” That’s it. I bet your saying “Wow, that’s great but stop what?” You have to realize what you are doing. Get your hand off the stove!!! You are in debt because you have more money going out then you have coming in! Here are 7 quick ways to STOP throwing money away.

1. STOP touching the stove, its hot! If you are doing any of the following, than for some reason you keep touching the hot stove. How many more times are you going to get burned???
2. STOP using your credit cards, you're paying interest rates that are out of this world. “But I need my credit cards” STOP making excuses that’s number 7.
3. STOP letting your own pride get in the way when you’re out with friends, you don’t have to keep up with them, some of them are in the same boat as you. You’re the one who has to look at the bills every month, not them!!!
4. STOP eating out!! You have time to make dinner, if you make time. Everyone has 24 hours in a day. “You don’t work as much as I do.” See, you can’t even wait till number 7!!!
5. STOP using quick forms of payment, (Credit cards, Debit cards, ect) use cash. It’s harder to spend it when you know, and can see, how much you are actually throwing in the trash. Its hard to let go of the GREEN, you ever try it? It’s too easy to swipe, and forget.
6. STOP talking yourself in to good deals. If you have to borrow or finance to get the good deal..... IT'S NOT A GOOD DEAL, can you not see that?????
7. I can already hear them so…. STOP making excuses.

STAY TUNED for more postings to come on this topic. The sooner you truly realize what is going on, the sooner we can get into the nuts and bolts of this thing!! I haven’t even begun to get started. Do you really want to get of DEBT? This way isn’t easy. If you’re looking for the quick fix, go somewhere else, we’re busy. Enough said lets get to WORK!!!!!

See you next time!!!!

Constitution: 4 bits of trivia

1. At no point in the constitution does it mention separation of church and state. The only place that it comes close is in the 1st Amendment; it states that congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion or the free exercise thereof. The intent was to insure that we did not end up with a state religion, like in England and some other European countries. It’s purpose was not to keep religion out of the United States as evidenced by the Constitution containing the phrase “in the year of our Lord” as part of the witness/signing statement. The phrase “separation of church and state” is generally credited to Thomas Jefferson in a letter written to the Danbury Baptists.

2. Very few statements drive me more insane than hearing statements like “the President’s tax cuts” or “the President’s failed economic policy”. Article 1: Section 8 makes it very clear that congress has the power of the purse; they decide how and when money is spent. It does state in Article 2: Section 3 that the President from time to time shall recommend to the Congress’s consideration such measures, as he shall judge necessary and expedient.

3. When the delegates of the several states met it was for “the sole purpose of reviving the Articles of Confederation”, according to the Confederate Congress. Some notables didn’t even attend. One example is Patrick Henry who declined because; according to him “he smelt a rat”.

4. James Madison is known as the “Father of the Constitution”. He kept meticulous notes on the convention and it’s proceedings. They can be found on the Internet by googling “Madison notes”.

4 Presidential Approval Ratings, What?

Check this out!!!! Notice that two presidents share their names with both lists, three for the top five and more for the top ten! This information reflects data from the Gallup Poll, and that numbers taken from other polling sources may vary.

Top 4 lowest presidential approval ratings:
1. George W. Bush (19%)
2. Harry S. Truman (22%)
3. Richard Nixon (25%)
4. Jimmy Carter (28%)

Top 4 highest presidential approval ratings:
1. George W. Bush (92%)
2. George H.W. Bush (89%)
3. Harry S. Truman (87%)
4. Franklin D. Roosevelt (84%)

Why is George W. Bush at the top of both lists? I wonder where Obama will end up? Yeah his ratings may be high now, but isn't every newly elected president's rating at least over or close to 50%? What if things don’t change for a long time? What will happen to Obama's rating? What if it does go down hill, will you still stand up for your vote, or hide in the corner like 70% of America did for Bush? Why do people blend in and hide when things go bad? Why is it always somebody else's fault? Have you ever heard someone say, “Wow, I screwed that vote up!” Instead its, “That guy is horrible, who ever voted for him is a moron, he really screwed the country up!" Here's a few questions for you. How about Congress? Who voted those people in? Was it your uneducated vote? Did we forget the three branches of Government, how about checks and balances, or maybe the Preamble "We the People....? How about we stand as ONE like it is stated over and over in the Declaration of Independence and then again in the Preamble!!!! Remember just because someone is president does not mean he calls all the shots, That’s called a KING!! Quit being pulled down by ignorance and then blending in when things go bad.

Look at yourself, did you have a part in it, or did you not vote but still complain?

Can anyone answer any of these questions? If so please leave a comment, of course if your not afraid to stand up for what you believe in!

Thank you for your time and your comments!!!!!

Laptops, 4 musts when buying!

1. Processor – The processor’s main job is to execute a sequence of instructions. Two main factors when looking at a processor are the bus and the cache. Typically the higher the number for the bus and the higher number the cache the faster the processor will be able to move the information. Look at the processor like a truck hauling gravel, the larger and faster the truck is the more gravel it will be able to move in the same amount of time as a smaller and slower truck. The main question then becomes, “how much processor can your pockets afford?” This area is an area that is difficult to upgrade, so get what you can afford, now!

2. Memory – In this case, again, the larger the number typically the better for the user. How much do you need? It depends on the type of applications that you run. If you run lots of graphics you will definitely need more memory. This is an area that can be upgraded later, start with a little more than you think you will need and possibly upgrade later when you can afford it.

3. Graphics Card - Or the graphics accelerator card. Its basic function is to generate and display images. This area cannot be upgraded later, so get what you can afford now. The easiest way to see the best products is to find online comparisons to see which company offers the best sound cards.

4. Bells and Whistles - Most computer companies do a good job of putting together packages that meet different needs, look and see if one of these packages work for you. If not, many companies also let you configure your own computer. Just go to the different websites and configure a computer, make sure you put the same elements on each. Check prices and see which fits your budget best.

This is by no means a comprehensive list of needs, just some ideas and thoughts. If you have any other suggestions on laptop needs let us know.

Energy Drinks: The Favorite 4

Since the introduction of Red Bull in 1997, energy drinks have been popping up everywhere. These energy drinks have many names, anything ranging from “Monster” to “Full Throttle.” One of the biggest selling points for an energy drink is in the name itself. These drinks are very popular among teenagers and young adults; this has become a multi-billion dollar industry in our country. Here’s a list of 4 favorites:

4. The edge goes to Spike Shooter for the number 4 favorite energy drink. This is number four because of the availability of the drink; you can’t buy it just anywhere. This is considered the hardcore energy drink by many and is why it’s so popular among the young people.

3. The number 3 spot goes to Rockstar Energy Drink. This drink tastes like candy it’s very sweet. The title of this drink by itself says it all, when you hold the can you feel and want to party like a “Rockstar!”

2. The second favorite drink is Monster Energy. This is a drink that is very popular among young people, especially high school kids. The problem with this is that once it hits your lips, you can’t stop drinking it. The label is very appealing to the youth as the “M” on the can looks like a monster tearing through it.

1. The number 1 energy drink is the one and only Red Bull. Red Bull is the drink that started it all for the rest of the competition. The only thing that hurts it is the price. It is not as extreme as the others, so it makes it the safest energy drink to have. Red Bull is the originator of the energy drinks and remains the best-selling energy drink in the United States.

There are many energy drinks on the market and we’re sure that you can find the right one for your taste. Please let us know which one is your favorite and why, thank you!

4 Cheap Valentine’s Day Dates

Here is a list of cheap dates that are sure to go over great. Hey remember that if she truly loves you it doesn’t matter how much you spend.

#4 - Instead of going out to an expensive restaurant for dinner, stay at home and make your partners favorite meal. Then, afterwards go somewhere for dessert.

#3 – Go for a walk by the lake, one where there are some ducks or geese. Make sure you bring along a cheap $1.00 loaf of bread or better yet any leftover bread from your house, you know to feed the ducks. This one also works great if you need to take you kids along, they’ll get a kick out of it and so will you.

#2 – If you don’t care what others think about you and you like strange reactions from people here’s a good one. Get dressed up in your best threads and go for dinner at McDonalds. Order from the dollar menu, and pay with the change you found in your couch or underneath your car seat.

#1 – If you really want to go cheap this one takes some planning but not much. Pretend you got sick over night. In the morning, make your way to the couch and set up camp. You can really milk this because its Valentine's Day, so go for it!!! Go to the bathroom often but remember to have a headache when you stand up. If you want, when your in the bathroom throw in some sound effects like your throwing up or something, this really adds to the drama. Apologize a lot about being sick, but don’t over due it, this might blow your cover. Start coming around towards the end of the day but not well enough to go anywhere, remember its supposed to be cheap. This is when you whip out the “Touching Card” and the “Blender” you bought for her the day before. You come out on top because even on your worst day "YOU" remembered Valentine's Day!

Good Luck!

4 Ways To Say Good-Bye and be Remembered

We have so many ways of saying hello. Howdy, hi there, how are ya, how ya doin', how’s it goin' how do ya do, what’s new, what goin' on, whaddaya think, whaddaya hear.
Of course, we also have many ways to say good-bye. Bye-bye, so long, see you later, ta-ta, be cool, take it easy, stay loose, hang in there, take care, keep on truck'n, and my personal favorite? "Don’t get run over." You know, some people just need practical advice.
Then there are all the foreign ways we say good-bye. Some people when they leave you, they think they have to get fancy. They whip an "arrivederci" on you. Or an "au revoir", and half the time they don’t even say it right!
In Hawaii they say "aloha." That’s a nice one. It means both "hello" and "good-bye." Which just goes to show, if you spend enough time in the sun, you don’t know whether you’re coming or going.
Do you ever get in a rut with your manner of saying good-bye and find yourself saying the same phrase over and over? And you begin to feel a little stupid?
For instance, if you’re leaving a party or your place of work and you have to say good-bye to five or six people standing in a group, you say, "Okay, hey, take it easy. Okay, hey, take it easy. Okay, hey, take it easy. Okay, hey, take it easy. Okay, hey, take it easy." And you feel like a moron.
You know what I do? Every month, whether I need to or not, I change the way I say good-bye; I start using a different phrase. People like that. They notice that little extra effort. Other people also like to think a little bit about what you said. Many times they will even think about you and what you said hours later, it might even give them a good feeling, and they’ll look forward to seeing you again. All because you make them feel good and they are always wondering what you’re going to do or say next!!

Here are 4 examples of how to switch it up when saying "Good-Bye". Maybe next time you meet the conversation will already be started.

1. “Farewell, till we meet again. May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house!'"
2. "Toodle-oo, go with God, and don’t take any wooden nickels."
3. “See you later, oh and uh… if your so innocent then why don’t you admit that your not?”
4. "So long Steve. Don’t let self-doubt interfere with your plans to improve your life."
(You know, some people just need practical advice.)

Switch it up don’t be so predictable, people will look forward to seeing you again!!!!! (Thanks to my good buddy Brian!!!)

4 ways to a Cheaper Vegas Vacation

Below is a list of our ideas and tips for a cheaper Vegas vacation!

1. Be patient and plan well in advance. Many of the hotels have early bird deals and packages. To get the most out of your buck you have to be willing to do the research, spend time online looking for the deals. A good place to start is with the hotel/casino website, many of them guarantee the lowest online prices.

2. Coupon Codes, these little babies can save you a tremendous amount of money. The hotels do not typically promote these but there are many good sites that show the codes and provide links back to the hotel, or show, and/or car rental of your choice. Many have expiration dates and sometimes they are not reliable, you may have to look around. Two sites are listed below, but there are many, look around.

3. Once in Vegas many of the hotels provide a coupon or discount booklet. Some of the hotels will only give them to people staying with them; some will give them to anyone. They are typically at the concierge desk, so walk up and ask for one. The coupons range from two for one buffets to $20 game play at the casino.

4. Use online package deals, this is my least favorite because it typically costs more to bundle than to search long and hard for the individual parts. Sometimes, however, you may not have the time to do the research; in this case it will probably be your best option. One very nice idea about this approach is that it gets done quickly.
