There are special products on the market designed for men who seek to lose a few extra pounds. The fat burners for men is nothing new, but the improvements on these products have gotten better. Diet products in general are getting better as our nutritional technology grows. A product designed for women to lose weight may not work as well in men and vice versa. The newer products that are specifically designed for men; now give us a better chance of taking off those excess pounds. Even though men don’t make up a big market for those people wanting to lose more weight; it’s nice to know some companies are there to give men that extra boost. Adding a fat burner to a good food diet and exercising regularly, can produce fast and effective results for men.

It’s been a long time since Hee Haw has been on television. We have seen it come back in syndication over the past few years, but it’s been ages since any new episodes were made. Hee Haw started in 1969 on the CBS Network. If you want to catch a glimpse of one of the old Hee Haw shows today, you could tune-in to RFD-TV and they’re currently airing old Hee Haw shows on Sundays.

Hee Haw was led by their two front men who were Buck Owens and Roy Clark. These two headed the show that would feature other popular personalities that all of America would grow to love. Most people living in rural areas got the show, but surprisingly it was popular in places like New York City and Los Angeles in their run from 1969 to 1971.

One of my favorite characters on Hee Haw was Junior Samples. He was from Cumming, Georgia and one of the bright spots on the show. Junior would often have problems getting his lines right and the producers of Hee Haw didn’t hide this footage. They made sure to show all of Junior’s mistakes and I doubt all the cast together could add up to all the mistakes Junior made on each episode of Hee Haw. Junior’s used cars was always a funny segment and there was even a band that named their self after the famous phone number “BR-549″ that never did change. Not sure how the show came up with that as the phone number to the used car lot owned by Junior Samples. If anyone knows this; then please reply and let me know. Junior was as country in real life as he was on the show and he wore overalls before ever going to film any episodes of Hee Haw.

Stringbean was another character I like from Hee Haw. His real name was David Akeman and he never had too many big roles on the show as a front man. You could often see Stringbean in the background for many of the Hee Haw skits. He was the scarecrow you would see in the corn field; when jokes or salutes were being given from the cornfield. Hee Haw left the scarecrow up as a tribute to Stringbean for his untimely death in 1973.

You can’t mention Hee Haw without talking about Grampa Jones. He was the wise one on the show and gave great view points on a variety of things. He could make you a little hungry sometimes when Hee Haw would do their skit “HEY GRAMPA! WHAT’S FOR DINNER?’. He had a unique and very southern way of naming food items that were on the dinner menu. Looking back on it now, I think Grampa Jones was a big part of what kept the show together and made Hee Haw such a big success in the early 1970′s.

I don’t think no one could forget Cathy Baker who played the perky blonde girl on Hee Haw. She was the clean one that dressed in descent attire for the show (usually overalls). The other Hee Haw girls would wear much more revealing clothes, but for Cathy it was always simple and sweet. She would normally have the Hee Haw Dog next to her in many of the skits or songs that got performed on Hee Haw. According to the Hew Haw website the name of the dog was “Buddy the Wonder Dog”, but I remember the early Hee Haw shows calling the bloodhound “Beauregard”. One thing that Cathy did get to do each episode was to close the show. Hee Haw had their own song each time that would close out the show and then you could see Cathy saying “That’s All!” each time Hee Haw went off. I will use Mrs. Hee Haw’s line to close this blog post on remembering the TV Show Hee Haw. That’s all!

If you use diet pills to help you lose weight; then please share your stories concerning diet pills. Taking a diet pill each day to lose weight can be an effective tool in the battle for weight loss. Trying the best weight loss pill in the world won’t do much good, if you don’t do other things to assist your weight loss efforts. A good exercise plan and a balance diet is two key factors in losing weight. In most cases, people should start with these two steps first, before they try adding a diet pill to their daily routines.

Now is a good opportunity for you to share your weight loss stories using diet pills. Good or bad, I would like to hear about your experiences with trying to shed away those pounds with an over the counter diet pill or a prescription diet pill. This information could help others who want to start using diet pills to help them lose more weight. Don’t forget to eat less and exercise more for the best results in any diet plan.

It doesn’t matter which political party holds the White House or which man is known as the President of the United States of America when it comes to oil and gas prices. Once again we see the prices soaring at the pumps and no relief in site. I’m not sure how a society can function with high fuel costs and no jobs. I guess 3rd world nations do it all the time and it looks like we are heading in that direction. No money or pay checks being cashed on Fridays is a big problem this country is facing right now. The fact that oil prices can jump in a blink of an eye is even more reason for concern these days. No one seems to be driving less and this isn’t good either. If we aren’t getting money, but need more money to fill up our cars for travel, then something is going to have to break some where. I’m not sure where these breaks will occur but people seem to be set on driving just as much, no matter what the costs are. We must drive less and spend less at the pump, when we do see gas prices rising. Just a little bit here and there from everyone adds up to big numbers nation wide. It’s time to put on the brakes and let’s cut down on our driving right now, until we can see lower gas prices at the pump.

Chevron is the number 1 buyer of foreign oils and this is one gas station you don’t want to stop at these days. Buying Chevron gas hurts our country and pocket books more than any other gas station you could stop at these days. Let’s start making the right steps here and drive less as a society when oil prices are high and don’t buy gas from the service stations that rely on foreign oils. No more Chevron gas for me and I will just drive to the next station to fill up. Other gas stations are to blame too, but Rome wasn’t built in a day and we can’t solve high gas prices overnight. Let’s go for the head of the monster first and this is Chevron and no one should be buying gas at a Chevron station. If your tank is close to empty and you need gas fast; then use Chevron if it’s the closest station to you. Just add 1 or 2 dollars to the tank and then drive to the next gas station to fill up. I know this takes a little effort and isn’t convenient to do, but if we all make these small efforts, then it will show up on the big map. The big map is the price we pay per gallon at the pump!

If you want to see gas prices lower; then just follow these 2 steps immediately!

1. Drive Less (not forever, just until regular gas goes below $2.25 a gallon for regular)

2. Don’t Buy Chevron Gas (largest buyer of oil over seas)

When most people think of car covers they think of just that…cars.  However, there are plenty of people in need of truck covers, SUV covers, and even motorcycle covers.  Are those people just out of luck?  Nope.  With Empire Covers you can get a cover for just about any type of vehicle, from cars to trucks, SUVs, and even boats and ATVs.  No matter your vehicle cover needs, Empire Covers has something to fit them.  Check out their selection online today and I’m sure you’ll be ordering from them in no time.

Just these two things will lower our cost at the pumps and we can set our own gas prices. Oil isn’t going to be around forever, but in 2009 we should be spending less than $2.25 a gallon for regular gas and under $2.50 a gallon for the highest octane choice your service station offers.

Nothing fancy for me when it comes to choosing my dream truck. I get more wild with my dream car selections, but a good basic truck is all I need for my dream truck. I think the older models of the Chevrolet Silverado is perfect for me. I don’t have anything against the newer versions of the Silverado, but those made in the 1980′s have a nice look. It’s a rugged look and a truck you could work with or go off road with if you wanted to. It’s getting harder and harder to find the Chevy Silverados from the 80′s that look good and still run good. I have been wanting one of these older model Silverados for a long time and I know I am running out of time, if I don’t buy one in the next couple of years.

It wouldn’t be wise to drive a 1980′s truck across country or for any long distant trips. If I left my home on the east coast and headed for the U.S. west coast, I know I would probably break down around Texas somewhere. I would then have to rely on a Dallas auto repair shop to get my Silverado fixed and back on the road again. It may need more repairs once I got to the west coast or have to stop in at Dallas again on my return trip. Car repairs are normal for those that take long trips, but making these trips in older vehicles is not smart to begin with. If you currently own a Chevrolet Silverado, please tell me the longest trip you made and did you experience any problems? I think travelers would be fine for a long trip in the newer Silverados; it’s the ones from the 1980′s that I would have my doubts about. They are good about not breaking down if you drive them around locally. You may have to get a brake job done every now and then, but the overall running condition would stay good, if you did avoid the long trips in these classic trucks.

Do you like the older Chevy trucks from the 1980′s? Or would you prefer one of the newer model Silverados? I’m happy with a simple truck and one that I wouldn’t worry about putting a few scratches on. I never owned a work truck. I think all men need one and they’re good for hauling stuff that you can’t do with a car. They say if you keep the oil changed in these trucks they will last a lifetime. I will be sure to keep my dream truck up, if I ever get a chance to buy one.

Hillary Clinton Travels to the real estate of Haiti that was leveled by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake last Tuesday.

A trip down south for Mrs. Clinton led her to a piece of land that the whole world’s attention is focused on right now. Haiti and their citizens must have been shocked to see a powerful 7.0 earthquake hit their area this past week. Haiti is nothing like California, where we expect earthquakes to take place. None of the structures in Haiti were designed to hold up against the effects of a small earthquake, so you can imagine the damage that took place Tuesday when a powerful one struck this tiny island; that is one half of the Hispaniola Island. The other half is the Dominican Republic and they seem to escape the powerful land shocks from the earthquake that affected the Western part of the Island.

Hillary Clinton got to see first hand the damage in Haiti. She also probably got to witness thousands of people needing food and medical attention. It’s been a slow process delivering aid to these people, since the main seaport was damaged badly and the airport in Port-au-Prince was also hit hard. It’s taken a lot of work just to get the airport up and running to the limited capacity it has right now. The supplies have been accumulating nicely over the last couple of days at the airport, but the challenge still remains, how do they get these supplies out to other parts in Haiti. The most deliveries were made on Saturday and this is really the first day where help arrived for the needy that were not located near the airport. Sunday will be a pivotal day in this region of the world as it becomes a race to deliver more food, water, and medicines to the people living in remote regions and the outer parts of Port-au-Prince; which is the capital of Haiti.

I’m not sure how much good it does for Hillary to be in Haiti this soon after the earthquake. If she is willing to roll up her sleeves and help distribute some of these items out to the locals; then her arrival will be a welcomed one. If she is just doing this trip to Haiti for show and plans to return back to the USA in the coming days, then I think this will be a negative impact on her political status.

The people in Haiti have waited so patiently for these supplies and this has to be the number 1 thing for those on the ground and lending help for the relief effort. Hopefully Hillary Clinton understands this and plans to stay in Haiti until the situation has stabilized down there. This could take a few weeks to a few months to complete, so hopefully Clinton is up to the task.

Mr. Clinton has teamed up with George Bush Jr. and they are trying to collect money for the releif efforts in Haiti. They want to present their charity as a place people can make donations and know their money is going straight to the cause. You don’t always get this with other charities and Bush and Clinton hope their efforts will bring in a few more dollars for those that are reluctant to give their hard working money to charities.

How long do you think Hillary Clinton will stay in Haiti?

A. 1 Day

B. 2 Days

C. 3 Days

D. 1 Week

E. 10 Days or Longer

Hopefully the answer to this question is “E” and we will see one of our American leaders braving the conditions and learning to live on the limited resources that is currently available in Haiti.

Not treating acne properly can lead to other dangers down the road. We might not think of scars as a “danger” but when they become visible on our faces, it can be a negative in our lives. Preventable treatments and not taking acne for granted is some easy measures we can start to implement now, that will help to prevent some of this facial scarring. Acne can occur for all ages and it affects men and women the same. Typically we think of acne as a teen problem, but adults do have to be cautious too. An effective acne scar removal product is what some of us will have to use, if we don’t take care of our acne problems now. You can find some good information online about acne. For those that fear a real problem with acne, should contact a dermatologist in their area. This is a doctor that specializes in the skin and they can be the best weapon when it comes to facing acne. Acne can lead to scars and there is ways to prevent this and also ways to help people that have already been scarred by the effects of acne.

The FDA or Food & Drug Administration barely approved the use of Alli on January 23rd 2006. Their approval gave drug makers the ability to sell Alli in small doses over the counter in stores. Even though you can pick up this product at your local drug store, it doesn’t mean it is the best choice you should choose when trying to lose weight. Alli is not everybody and their tame advertisements try to convey this to consumers. You can read other alli weight loss reviews on the Net and see if this is something you want to try to help you lose weight. Anyone wanting to lose weight in 2010 does have a lot of products to choose from. Selecting which product is safest and works best for you, may take a little time with so many to choose from. Just make sure you do your homework and research some of these weight loss products, before you attempt to add one of them to your daily weight loss routines.

The battle of late night TV in America is just getting started and for good reason. Viewers are all choosing sides in this battle for the prime time spot in late night television, if there is such a thing. Apparently as far as Conan O’Brien’s corner is concerned, the prime time spot does exist for the program that follows our late local news in America. Most know that Johnny Carson held this spot for many years on NBC. Since his departure we have seen a variety of night show hosts try to fill the Carson spot. At one time Jay Leno was pretty successful with this duty, but soon he would give it up to Conan O’Brien and Conan has did a terrific job.

Now it appears Jay Leno wants to get back in the business and NBC welcomed him back with open arms. They liked the idea so much, they actually gave Leno a real prime time spot on NBC and this was at the 10 PM hour; before the local news would come on. This didn’t work out too well and after 4 months of declining ratings, the Jay Leno in prime time has not worked out. For some odd reason, the producers at NBC think it would do better, if they move Jay Leno back to the spot right after the local news and push Conan O’Brien down 1 hour. This news didn’t sit too well for Conan O’Brien and to this point; he has refused to make room for the big-chin Leno that America didn’t want to see at 10 PM and they certainly don’t want to see him replacing the talented Conan O’Brien.

The NBC troubles is making one late night host smile from ear to ear. David Letterman seems to be benefiting from the early struggles between Leno and O’Brien, but don’t look for this pattern to continue. David Letterman isn’t that great to watch either and his ratings may see a decline if NBC allows the feud between Conan O’Brien and Jay Leno to continue. Since no talk show host has a gag order yet, this could work out well for NBC in the long run. It might have been planned by NBC the whole time, who knows? We do know that America loves controversy and if this feud continues on NBC; then late night TV watchers will be tuning in to see what Conan has to say about Jay Leno. I wouldn’t get happy too fast over there Letterman, you may just be walking into a clever trap set by NBC. It doesn’t help when David Letterman uses his air time to talk about the Leno/O’Brien battle and this only gives more reasons for viewers to tune in to NBC.

I won’t pick between broadcasting networks and tell you which station to watch late at night, but I will throw my support in the Conan Obrien corner. I think Conan has did really well for the past 5 years, entertaining the sleepy-eyed Americans as they go to sleep watching his show. Not sleeping due to the content of the show’s material, but going to sleep to wake up for their 9 to 5 jobs that the people in this country do 5 days a week. Conan has worked his way up the ranks and has did nothing to get pushed down those ranks. We can certainly say that Jay Leno has did nothing to over take Conan’s Show and Leno’s talents are average at best. I don’t think NBC should blindly grant Conan Obrien this spot forever, but as for now, we choose Conan Obrien over Jay Leno.

Who do you want to see in the NBC time slot immediately following your late night local news?

A. Conan O’Brien

B. Jay Leno

C. Other?

My vote is for “A” and I will take the wittiest late night personality currently on the air and that is hands down Conan O’Brien. I strongly urge NBC to keep Conan in his rightful time slot and give the hour after his show to Jay Leno or you could do midget wrestling? I would just like to see if Jay Leno is man enough to accept the spot behind Conan O’Brien and I think most Americans are more curious about that than anything. Let’s see if Leno could hold up during the graveyard shift like Conan did so proudly before he got his rightful time on NBC.

No matter if you’re on Jay Leno or Conan Obrien’s side, I think we can all laugh at Letterman for thinking he’s the winner in all of this. Big mistake on his part to keep this public feud going; as his viewers click away from his show to see what Conan O’Brien has to say about Jay Leno.

By the way….

For any late night show host that mentions my blog post on the air, I will instantly give you my support on this blog and all of my other blogs. My support can be bought for a little exposure on late night TV. I think I might just have the power to sway votes and grow NBC’s late night viewership numbers with the words I can cleverly craft on the World Wide Web.

Is the man of your house planning to do some touch-ups on and around the home this year? These home repairs are a bit more easier when he has help. It’s great to see families working together and the man of the house doesn’t always need someone with muscles or another man to help him. The wife or daughter could roll up their sleeves this year and give the hubby or dad an extra pair of hands to work with. For households that are larger than just 2 or 3 family members; these home improvement jobs can be a snap if everyone participates. After all, each family member has all the benefits living in a good home, so everyone living under the same roof should get out and help with these home repairs.

A communication system can be handy with the outdoor chores that need to get done this year. Using your cell phones is one way to keep everyone in contact, so the outdoor jobs can get done faster. If everyone doesn’t have cell phones; perhaps these bright yellow 2 way radios could work just as good. If dad is up on the roof and needs something handed to him or thrown up to him on the roof, he could make a simple call to a cell phone or a walkie talkie to a member that is down on the ground. If you ever did any work on the roof before, you know how aggravating it can be to forget something or have to keep climbing up and down the ladder to retrieve tools, material, or other items that are needed on top of the house. A cell phone or a pair of two way radios would save a lot of steps in situations like these.

Obviously if you’re dong these fix-up jobs, you do want to put most of your money in the home improvement tasks. Spending money for the neighbor, an extended relative, or someone else outside the household, to help dad, isn’t the smartest way to go. If others in the home will help, that will leave more money for getting these touch-ups done cheaper. Purchasing the walkie talkies isn’t that big of a deal and I found these at Buy.com for under $20. They usually have a sale on various items a family could use to fix up the home. Any homeowner that has a tight budget on the home improvements, will do the most good by getting others in the home to help with the labor and seeking out some of these cheap tools that are available online.

I wish all the husbands and dads good luck this year on finding that help. The rest of you can roll up your sleeves and make this year’s home repairs a family project. Have fun everyone and don’t forget to communicate a little in between the hammering and sawing that will take place at your house this year. The family that works together is the family that stays together!

There are a lot of fun places you can go online to play games. You can enjoy casino-style games with no cost and play them for free. There are other places that allow you to play with real money and Internet users have the chance to win real cash money. The online casino games are very popular and it continues to be a growing industry on the World Wide Web.

Most of these games are easy to play. Beginners can figure out how to play most of these games in a few short minutes. I know playing roulette online is an easy game to learn and I enjoy playing it. It’s the game that has a spinning wheel with numbers and a little white ball is released and will land on one of these numbers. You try to figure out which number the ball will come to a rest on and that is one of the ways to win in roulette. This game offers other betting options and it’s not as hard to win as you might think.

When I go to a real life casino, I normally play the slots more than I do the other games. The card tables are fun at the real casinos, but usually it costs you a little more to play. The slot machines can be a cheap way to pass the time at a casino. My biggest win on a card table was for $330 and this was playing 3 card poker. It works just like regular poker, but you only get 3 cards and there is no draw. I guess it could be called 3 card stud. My biggest payout has been on a slot machine and I have won $1250 and $650 in the same night and on the same slot machine! If you find a slot machine that is hot and paying out, I would stay on that machine. The slot machines that are cold seem to stay cold and I do best when I get to play on one that is letting you win. I like playing the online slot games too and I often play these when I get bored. I haven’t never tried to win real money online before, but I have heard of people winning online. Give some of these online games a try sometime and it’s a great way to prepare for a trip to Las Vegas or Atlantic City.

The man with “Popeye” arms who hit 70 home runs in a single season has confessed to using steroids and other performance enhancing drugs. We know Popeye got his arms by eating a lot of spinach and Mark McGwire got his by taking steroids. Many want to know why he has chose to confess now and admit his association with steroids. It’s not clear right now why McGwire came out and confessed his sins, but if we have learned anything about baseball players in recent years, you can bet there is some form of greed behind his admittance to taking steroids.

I’m sure this new attention on steroids and Tiger Wood’s being in the news a lot lately, we may finally learn that Tiger Woods was also using steroids and his PGA championships seem a little gray right now. More needs to be done on Tiger Wood’s accomplishments in golf and an investigation would probably reveal that Tiger and others used performance enhancing drugs on the golf course.

Do you agree or disagree with Mark McGwire’s new confession that he used steroids to help him play better and recover from injuries faster; while he was an active MLB player? I haven’t made up my mind yet, but I’m sure his new revelation comes with something he hopes to accomplish or achieve by confessing his faults to the world.

If you’re a baseball fan, are you still mad at the last time these over paid cry babies went on strike? I know many have still not came back to watching baseball; since the last MLB strike took place. Or did you stop watching baseball after we learned half the players were using performance enhancing drugs to put up those amazing statistics? They say this is a soar subject for baseball players cause some of them did not use steroids. I find that funny and these guys are barking up the wrong sympathy tree. It’s the fans that got screwed and they are the ones that have been cheated. For all the guys in baseball that think steroids is a soar subject, our frustrations go back further than that. We have had to do without baseball because we see you guys fighting over millions of dollars and the average working baseball fan will not even make 1 million in their lifetime. Until MLB and the baseball players learn this isn’t about them anymore and it’s about the fans, they will continue to build this path toward destruction.

Major League Baseball is holding on by a thin thread now and unless the playing field levels out soon, baseball will no longer exist in America they way we know it today. The latest news on Mark McGwire will prove that fans won’t be showing up at the ball park this spring. Some fans were given these players the benefit of doubt and now they know for a fact that McGwire was using and this will affect ticket sales across all MLB parks this upcoming season.
