Simple things are worth blogging about

If you live in Georgia or plan to travel to Georgia soon, I have a great place you can eat some good seafood. The Marietta Fish Market is a super place with great-tasting seafood and a excellent variety of seafood choices to choose between.
I really enjoy eating here during their lunch hours. You can save a lot of money by eating here during the daytime hours. They don’t give small samples either during their lunch specials. I get more than I can eat at the restaurant and always end up getting a to-go box to take home, so I can enjoy this great seafood later. I love to eat fresh fish and these guys have a big selection to choose from on their fish menu. You will also have a choice of how you want them to cook your piece of fresh fish. I usually will get mine grilled, but their fried fish is good too. The shrimp can be ordered grilled or fried and I recommend a combination platter. Order your favorite kind of fish, you see on the menu and then get a order of fried shrimp or the grilled shrimp to go with it.
I don’t know of anyone who didn’t like eating at this restaurant in Cobb County, Georgia. I live in Cherokee County and don’t mind one bit driving south on Old Highway 5, to get down to the Marietta Fish Market for some good seafood. Have you already ate here before? Please leave your comments and what you thought about this little taste of fresh seafood from the Ocean; that’s located right here in North Georgia. You will have a hard time finding a restaurant that serves bigger portions, better taste, and for such a good price; than this tasty little seafood restaurant in northern Cobb County.

Home security is a multi-billion dollar business these days and for good reason. Our home and the things inside our homes are the most valuable things we own in life. Making sure they are secure is a top priority for most home owners. If it isn’t high on your list now, you should really change your way of thinking, before it is too late. Home security systems are a lot more advanced than they use to be. A lot of families go this route; when it comes to protecting their home. You and your family may not quiet have the budget right now to afford a home security system or any high tech security gadgets to install in and around your house. A cheaper alternate you could choose to make is finding the Kwikset hardware for your doors at home. This hardware can probably make your door knobs much more secure than your current hardware your door knob’s are using. It might not seem like a big security upgrade, but it does help to lower the odds of your home becoming a target for burglars. Try to find other ways to secure your doors and windows at home, so you can keep the bad guys out and the good things inside!

The Cincinnati Reds have a very interesting young pitcher in their minor league system. His name is Aroldis Chapman and the kid has one of the best arms ever. While he’s yet to pitch in a MLB game yet; his stuff is clearly ready for the professional batters. There have already been articles written up about him for his 100 mph fast ball. He’s even been known to click the 103 mph mark from time to time. Now a scout in the stands clocked him at 105 mph and so did the radar gun in the stadium. These are two different radar systems and both showed Chapman’s arm throwing a blistering 105 miles per hour!
After seeing MLB not let one of their best pitchers in 2010 compete in the All Star Game and now that same pitcher will need Tommy John surgery; you would hope the Reds baseball team would go ahead and call up the young phenom on the mound. The injured pitcher is Stephen Strasburg and it was a pity he didn’t get to pitch in the 2010 All Star Game. Many felt like he would have many more years to pitch in the A.S. Games; since he is so young and talented. Now that an injury has him sidelined and he will never be a top-tier pitcher in the Majors again. We can now see how the National League manager Charlie Manual of the Philadelphia Phillies made such a huge mistake. He is the one that will have to go to bed at night, knowing he was the NL manager who kept Washington Nationals pitching phenom Stephen Strasburg out of the Mid-Summer Classic.
The Reds need to avoid a Strasburg situation and give Chapman his time to shine in the Majors right now. Life is too short in general and it’s a lot shorter for a MLB pitcher. I hope to see this kid with the 105 mph fastball in a Major League ballpark soon. No MLB batters can consistently catch up to heat like that. Judging by some of his latest stats, the kid isn’t wild either. He knows where that 105 mph baseball is going and he’s pitching it over the plate to hitters. Let’s get a glimpse of him, before his career comes to a sudden end like it did for the 22 year-old Washington Nationals pitcher.

Enjoying Our Fresh Water
Our precious supplies of fresh water could all disappear one day. It would be a scary situation, if Man didn’t have any more fresh water to drink or use for cooking. It probably wouldn’t be too noticeable, because we probably wouldn’t even be around to see a world with no fresh water. The World supply of fresh water is constantly in danger and we have to always be thinking about better ways to Save Water. Our world is changing and most of it is due to global warming or climate change. All nations will have to start somewhere, if we hope to change the deadly course we are on now. I believe starting with our supplies of fresh water is a good starting point.
We don’t have to solve this problem tomorrow. We just need to begin taking steps today, so we can insure there is a tomorrow. Something as simple as saving a few gallons a week with your toilet bowl can make a big difference; when every family starts taking action. The dual flush toilet is a much more cost-effective way of saving families gallons and gallons on their monthly water bills. Reducing the cost on the water bill is helping to insure our supplies of fresh water stay strong in our communities, states, countries, and the one planet we all live on. Currently we are wasting a lot of water from our toilet systems and this is an area we can improve on right now. The technology has already been created for us to save water, each time we have to flush the toilets at home. It’s just up to each family to insure their household isn’t wasting any water with their current toilet bowl situations. Dual Flush Toilets can begin helping us with the fresh water wars we are currently in with Mother Nature right now.
The bottom line for all of us, is we do need fresh water to drink and cook our meals with each day. Filling our swimming pools with fresh water, washing the car, or taking a nice hot shower are all luxuries; which come from fresh water supplies. We may have to start using other water sources on Earth for these chores. If our water levels ever go too low, we would have to make adjustments, so we could continue to have fresh water for drinking. These changes don’t have to be drastic, if we all begin making the small changes now. Going to the hardware store this weekend to pick up a low flow toilet, is just one of the things you can start doing to help. It only takes one drought in a certain area of the World; to prove just how miserable a world without fresh, clean water is and these folks won’t take it for granted anytime soon.

Fresh Homemade Baked Biscuits
There isn’t many things in life as good as a fresh baked biscuit from Mom’s kitchen. You just can’t sit down to a country-style meal without having a biscuit or piece of cornbread nearby. Your typical vegetable restaurants will serve customers a meat, 2 vegetable choices, and a biscuit or cornbread with each order. For people who eat a lot of fast food or don’t cook much at home, probably don’t get to enjoy these southern-style meals too often. So it’s a treat when you haven’t ate a good home-cooked meal in awhile and finally get to sit down and have one. The meat and two vegetables might taste really good, but if it doesn’t come with bread, your meal will just be lacking. This is why a good home-made biscuit belongs with every meal and it’s the icing on the cake for these traditional home-style meals.
A lot of restaurants out there do a good job with baking fresh home-made tasting biscuits. I have several restaurants I know I can count on for a good biscuit each day. Some people just like a hot biscuit with a little butter and they could make a meal out of that. I still want the meat and vegetables, but the biscuit is just as important as the main dish is to me.
Now imagine you have an out-of-town guest to come in for a visit. They haven’t eaten anything in a long time and really want to go out and get something to eat. They only make one request and allow you to select the best place to meet this request. Your visitors request for you to take them to the restaurant with the best homemade biscuits. They don’t care where you go or which restaurant you choose. They only want the best biscuit your town or city has to offer. Where would you take them?
A. Cracker Barrel
B. Hardees
C. Mrs. Winners
D. Bojangles
E. Churchs
F. KFC
G. Red Lobster
H. McDonalds
I. Chick-Fil-A
J. Burger King
K. Local Restaurant
Do any of these places stick out in your mind as having a good biscuit to eat? I know in a lot of cases, you probably would want your guest to have a unique, hometown experience. So you would probably take them to a local diner or a Mom & Pops restaurant that are locally famous for their restaurant biscuits. Let’s just go ahead and take away all of your local restaurants out of the equation. Which famous chain-restaurant makes the best dog gone biscuits you have ever put in your mouth? Perhaps I have left off a restaurant from my list above. Feel free to name any restaurant chain in which I might have forgot to mention. Please try to just pick one or two restaurants that stand above the competition and serves their customers the best home-made biscuits each day. I look forward to seeing which restaurants score the best on this online biscuit poll for the best biscuits. After we learn which restaurant makes the best biscuits, we can try to get their biscuit recipe, so we can make them at home for our families. It may be tough to do and some probably won’t share online biscuit recipes with the World Wide Web.

A lot of new hosting companies are springing up all over the place. I guess the website hosting industry is a lucrative business to go into these days. Webmasters will have to be careful of all of the smaller guys and companies trying to fight for your business and hosting needs. There are so many more companies to choose from, you know the odds mean a few will not be the most reliable service, a website owner could choose to hire. If webmasters will take their time and do a little research; the flood of new hosting companies will mean lower prices across the board. At least it would be a safe assumption to expect lower prices for hosting and perhaps even a better quality of web hosting too.
I really like the websites online, which take the time to list all of these new companies. They give consumers a chance to express their opinions about a certain web hosting company. These types of websites allow new webmasters a chance to see which companies are probably going to make them the happiest; once they do employee one of these hosting providers. A webmaster who is currently not happy with the company they hired, could also switch to a new host; while having an educated guess about their next choice delivering a good hosting service.
Web Hosting Geeks is one of these services online; which is a great free tool for webmasters. They allow members of hosting services to come on their website and post good or bad reviews about a variety of different services online. Their main homepage is very easy to understand and plainly lists the 10 best overall web hosting companies. I even see where they list a Top 10 Green Web Hosting area. This special green section is given to the providers who respect our planet and go the extra mile, to make their hosting services as Eco-friendly as possible. I would have never thought these money-hungry hosting providers would put Mother Nature over the almighty green dollar. I guess all of these companies are not just starting up new businesses to collect the green stuff and are actually paying their respects to the 21st century’s hope in a greener tomorrow. I would have known about things like this, if I read the web hosting news every now and then.
I would like to see a show of hands out there and see how many others knew about environmental-friendly hosting services? Please do your part and spread the word about these types of hosts existing on the World Wide Web. This would make a great new post for a blogger who is having a brain-freeze and needs a new topic to blog about. If you do blog about it, please reply back and post the link back to your individual blog post. I would like to read a few of these green blog posts and I thank you in advance!

A big chestnut tree that sits in the middle of a lot of buildings in Amsterdam has been talked about a lot over recent years. Some felt like it was time to remove the tree and open up the space the tree was taking up. Others felt the tree was not safe for visitors, who were going to the office building, in which Anne Frank and her family was hiding in the attic from Nazi German soldiers. On the other side of the debate was the supporters of Anne Frank and they wanted to see the tree stay up, since the big tree brought happiness to Anne; while she was a young teen growing up in a very small space for over 2 years of her life.
Famous Anne Frank Tree
The big chestnut tree has been standing strong for over 150 years now. It was well in the ground and growing high toward the sky, long before the Frank family went into hiding and before Hitler started invading his neighbors in Europe. The tree has remained firm in its original setting, since Otto Frank and his family got betrayed and sent off to prison camps. The tree survived long past Hitler’s reign of terror on the Jews and even continue to grow as the new millenium finally arrived in the year 2000. However, just a short decade later and in the month of August and in the year 2010; the 150+ year old Anne Frank Tree finally met its match. It was Mother Nature who would solve the Anne Frank chestnut tree debate, as she poured soaking rains into the Amsterdam area. The moist ground, which the famous Amsterdam tree had its roots firmly planted, finally gave way to the high winds and all of the stress being caused by the towering tree. The beloved tree that would cheer up the famous young girl, based on her entries into her diary, we all know about now is just a memory, as the clean-up process begins to remove the 150 year-old tree.
In some ways this tree will continue to grow. There have been a number of saplings taken from the tree over the years and a lot of them are growing all over the World. This famous chestnut tree is actually growing more now than it ever did during it’s 150 year-old life on Earth. This historic Amsterdam tree is like a mother for so many offspring trees which in some cases will be around for another 150 years or more. We can all shed a small tear today, knowing the Anne Frank tree will no longer stand tall in front of the Amsterdam office building. At the same time, we can crack a smile knowing the saplings from the Anne Frank tree are still very much alive and will grow long after the August, 2010 death of the original Anne Frank tree.
-IN LOVING MEMORY OF ANNE FRANK -
Born June 12th, 1929 and Died Sometime in Early March in a Nazi Concentration Camp in 1945

Guest post written by Rolf Tate
A few months ago I decided I needed to know more about what was going on in the world. I wasn’t keeping up with what everyone was talking about at my college campus so I decided to get a little bit more news in my life. I tried reading the newspaper but I always ended up falling asleep in the morning. It was then that I decided to watch a news network on my satellite television that I got from tvbydirect.com.
I went through all the different networks from CNN to MSNBC. I never seemed to find a fit that was right for me. Then I stumbled onto Fox News and I believe I have found my home.
Glenn Beck is my favorite newscaster, and he is one of the most popular on Fox News. He is one of the only talk show hosts who actually seems to care about what he is reporting. He wants America and the world to succeed and he believes we have it in our power to do it. That is why I like him. Most news programs are just boring presentation of facts and who won American Idol last night. Glenn Beck uses diagrams and facts to prove his points and is a very passionate man.
I’m really glad I decided to start watching the news. It has helped me so much in my classes and in random conversations.

Those nice kitchen spice racks you have at home are probably loaded with a bunch of different spices. Some you use frequently and others you never even touch. You keep them around just in case a new recipe calls for it to be added. I know we have a few spices at my house now that I have never used or even heard of before. My kitchen at home doesn’t have a wall spice rack like most home owners or chefs have around in their kitchen. We have our spices shoved in a normal cabinet above the stove. So when we need to spice something up, we usually have to spend a little time looking for the correct spice.
I think the spice rack here (picture above) is a simple one, but one that could save you a lot of time. Keeping the spice bottles organized properly not only makes the kitchen look better, but it makes finding them a breeze. Imagine having a spice rack like this steel 3 tier spice rack in your kitchen. Then taking your spices and putting them in alphabetical order on the rack. Now you can see just how easy one of these spice racks keeps things simple in the kitchen. My blog is Creating a Simple Lifeand a nifty spice gadget like this accomplishes that.
Now let me name you a few spices we have at my house and you can let me know which ones you have too, ones you like, or ones you would never use or might be allergic to. I’m not sure what my most favorite spice is, but oregano is one I use a lot and tons of recipes call for oregano. I guess everyone uses salt the most. I know most families use salt and black pepper so much, they don’t include these popular spices in their spice racks. Here is our spices at home:
*Oregano
*Red Pepper
*Basil
*Chili Powder
*Onion Powder
*Cumin
*Nutmeg
*Turmeric
*Cinnamon
*All Spice
*Mustard Seed
*Parsley Flakes
*Taco Seasoning
Those are a few spices we have in our spice cabinet above the stove. I wished we had a spice shelf or rack out in the open, so we could arrange them in alphabetical order. You will need your spices for all those new recipes you find online. Free recipes online is another great benefit to having the Internet. My favorite online recipes are chili and I love making homemade chili. I use a variety of spices for my chili recipes. What’s your favorite spices in your kitchen?

Atlanta Braves Trade for Gold Glove 1B Derrek Lee
The Atlanta Braves have made 3 key trades this year in the 2010 Major League Baseball Season. The team’s MVP last year was shortstop Yunel Escobar. After a slow start to the season this year and getting in the doghouse of manage Bobby Cox, the tensions grew high inside the Braves locker room. Players like Tommy Hanson and Troy Glaus publicly made scenes on the baseball diamond; when they felt Yunel Escobar wasn’t focusing enough. What has become funny is that Troy Glaus got sent to the minors recently to see if he can play third base again. Glaus is an automatic out in the line up and commits way too many errors on routine plays at first base. So basically his skills are not MLB level anymore, so the Braves traded for first basemen Derrek Lee from the Chicago Cubs. For Tommy Hanson’s uncalled stare down, toward the Braves former shortstop Yunel Escobar, for a dropped fly ball, he can’t buy a win. He continues to rack up loses or no decisions and isn’t even an average pitcher coming down the stretch. Both Tommy Hanson and Troy Glaus are facing the Yunel Escobar curse! This is a real curse and you can just ask Glaus and Hanson if they believe it exists. They asked for it and now they are both getting exactly what they deserve. You have to stick up for your players in the club house and these two failed to do it. So they are dealing with the Yunel Escobar curse.
Now turn to the Braves new shortstop Alex Gonzalez. Who is making a lot of fans in Braves Country miss their beloved SS Yunel Escobar. Gonzalez has been a direct cause for 2 Braves loses this year. He has done it with his glove too and he has without a doubt cost the Braves 2 wins and probably could make a case he has cause the Braves team 6 to 8 loses already. Alex Gonzalez is not producing at the plate, making errors at short stop, running into his left fielder and causing him pain in a collision, and just a lot of other silly and dumb plays. No one on the airwaves is calling the Gonzalez trade a bad move (yet), but clearly he doesn’t stack up to Yunel Escobar.
Each error Escobar committed in his last few weeks for the Braves team got hightlighted way too much. Joe Simpson has been the one spear-heading this campaign against Yunel Escobar. Now after bragging so much on Alex Gonzalez’s glove work in practice and Simpson even going so far to say “I could just watch him all day long in practice at how quick his glove and hands are at shortstop“; he’s put his own self in a bad situation. His beliefs in how he is a better shortstop than Yunel Escobar couldn’t be further from the truth. Remember fans, the Atlanta Braves were cruising in the NL East Race; when the Escobar/Gonzalez trade went down. Escobar was helping the team to win with his glove and even the times Glaus and Hanson highlighted Escobar’s errors, they were not ones that lead to the team losing. Like Alex Gonzalez has already did 2 times and his errors resulted in direct loses for the team.
The Atlanta Braves did very little in their attempts to win a 15th straight N.L. East Pennant a few years back. They was unable to put any trades or jockey any guys around that year, so the Braves went out losers that year without even giving it their best try. Not the case this year, after the first place Braves traded away the team’s 2009 MVP in Yunel Escobar. The Braves front office knew they made a mistake for trading Yunel Escobar to the Toronto Blue Jays. So in order to cover up their mistake, they have made 2 more other trades. They are now sacrificing the future and giving away our minor league talent, for players like Rick Ankiel, Kyle Farnsworth, and now Derreck Lee. This first place team made a lot of changes and they didn’t even need to. Now our new GM has created a poor team in the ATL and over half of our regular starters wasn’t even with us last year or a true farm product of the Atlanta Braves minor league system. Check out this long list of people we are counting on to win games for us in the last 5 weeks of the season and just how long they been with the team:
*Eric Hinske
*Troy Glaus
*Derreck Lee
*Melky Cabrera
*Rick Ankiel
*Jason Heyward
*Alex Gonzalez
*Diory Hernandez
These players with 2 key rookie pitchers in Jonny Venters and Mike Minor; who are both expected to start games (Minor) for us now or pitch in critical innings late in the game (Venters). Bobby Cox is taking this cast of new comers and trying to mke them mesh; while he continues to bat our line-up out of order. Those line-up cards he submits before games need to be torn up and burned for good measure. Just by fixing the batting order, this team could have kept all their original players from the start of the season and would have 8 to 12 more wins already under their belt.
Key points Bobby Cox must be willing to do, if he expects to break the Yunel Escobar Curse and manage a NL Pennant East Title or wildcard birth in the 2010 baseball post-season.
1. Bat Matt Diaz 4th in every game for the rest of the year. He is the most “Barry Bonds” type of player we got, in terms of clutch hitting and just overall hard hits; where the ball finds the sweet part on his bat the most often.
2. All Star MVP Catcher Brian McCann must be guaranteed an at-bat in the first inning of every game. He’s a clutch hitter and batting him 5th is too far back. Let him hit 3rd the rest of the year.
3. Get your rookie right fielder Jason Heyward out of those top 3 spots. He’s just turned 21 years old and this pennant race is way too much pressure for the kid. Move him down.
4. Martin Prado is almost Superman, but struggles in clutch situations. He could help the team in the 2nd hole.
5. If your starting pitcher is leading off an inning in the 5th inning or later in a game that you are losing on the scoreboard; YOU MUST PINCH HIT! Letting Tommy Hanson lead off the 5th inning against the Cubs; while trailing by 5 runs is NOT acceptable. Especially in a tight pennant race in a game that is in the final 6 weeks of the season!
6. Must understand now, that there is no more tomorrows. Quit saving players (hitters and pitchers) for later in the game. It doesn’t get any later than this Bobby Cox. Our backs are against the wall and now we must play every game and every inning like it’s our last. Letting Eric Hinske pinch hit for Matt Diaz is a mistake in general, but doing this move with Brian McCann on your bench is not a smart decision! Yes B. Mac did get to swing in that 9th inning against the Cubs, but if Alez Gonzalez would have grounded into a double play, you would have lost a game, where you selected Eric Hinske over Brian McCann. That was a terrible decision to let Hinske bat and someone should have called you out for that one!
Bobby Cox has been slow to get Martin Prado and Omar Infante at-bats or high places in the batting order over the last couple of seasons. It has taken both of these guys way too long to get up in the proper places. If Chipper is still playing; then Infante is probably still riding the bench. You must bat these guys 1 and 2 in the batting order each game. The Braves top 6 spots in the line-up must remain the same from here on out!
Braves Final Batting Order for Post-Season Push 2010
1. Omar Infante
2. Martin Prado
3. Brian McCann
4. Matt Diaz
5. Derreck Lee / Jason Heyward (platoon situation based on starting pitcher being a Righty or Lefty)
6. Jason Heyward / Derreck Lee (platoon situation)
If Bobby Cox can not see this obvious 6 player batting order for his team right now. He deserves to be at home on the couch watching October baseball. No room for errors now, win or go home Braves Team!!!

While some may complain about cell phones and texting causing accidents on the highway, there are other phone accidents, where the phone is the only one who gets hurt. Hopefully consumers will be aware of their iphone warranty; when these times do creep up on us. I know some people who can’t make it through their first year with a new phone. It is common for people to drop their phones, but the people I know are the ones who drop it and several different phone parts going flying outwards. They seem to have a knack for putting it back together, but phones can only take so much. I hope future developers will make a stronger phone, so it can endure some of these dropped calls and I do mean this literally, when talking about a “dropped call“. Maybe this will cause less phone users, to have to use their phone warranties fewer times.

One of the most appealing roles in years recently came up in Hollywood. A lot of the big names in the actress department was trying for this leading role in the remake of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I don’t think some Hollywood actresses even knew about this part, because I think a few other people would have been good for this part too. There are no doubts this part would have been great for Natalie Portman and I really wished she would have got it.
Watching this talented actor or actress (if you will) has been great over the years. Many of us have watched a lot of actors and actresses group up on camera. Natalie Portman is a good example of that and she has been in acting for a long time. Her talents shined out as a kid and now I’m not sure why they couldn’t shine bright enough to land this part in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I am very curious to see who these people think are better than Natalie Portman. I would have chosen Natalie over Neve Campbell, Drew Barrymore, and Christina Applegate, if they would have applied for this hot new role in Hollywood. Some of the people who really did try out for this part was Emma Watson and Ellen Page. So who did these directors choose as the star and leading role of this new movie about to come out? The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo will be played by a 25 year-old actress named Rooney Mara. I’m sure her and her family are very happy right now, because this is one of the biggest Hollywood roles to have come out in the last 5 years or at least going back to 2006.
The girl standing on the left and in the darker, copper colored dress is Rooney Mara. The person with the white dress and to the right side of the photograph is Kate Mara. It’s the person on the left Rooney Mara; who has just landed the biggest role in Hollywood for this year and for probably the last several. I do think Kate Mara has that look and she will be in something big in the near future too.
If you want to watch Natalie Portman, you can still see her in the new movie Black Swan. It looks like a very entertaining movie and one you will need to put your thinking caps on and try to keep up with this high paced thriller, at least that is the impression I get from watching the movie trailer of the Black Swan.
Movie Trailer Black Swan
The new 2010 Black Swan movie will be something movie lovers will have to watch this year. The Black Swan does include Natalie Portman; while the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo will not have Natalie Portman as their leading actress in this huge Hollywood movie.
