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.

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”.

If you have any other bits of Constitutional trivia please add them in the comments section!

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.
http://www.earlyvegas.com/promo_codes.html
http://www.dailyedeals.com/las_vegas_hotels.htm

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.

If anyone has any other ideas or tips, please let us know!
