Simple things are worth blogging about

Once the kids graduate high school, they will be looking for a good college university to attend. In many cases there may not be a college close to home and our children will have to move out for the first time and live on the college campus. It can be a bit stressful when a student has to move away from home and be on their own for the first time. While some can make this transition very easily, others find it difficult and get a little home sick in those first few weeks.
Parents can do a variety of things to help their children adjust to life on a college campus. Sending them letters frequently or making a daily phone call can really help a lot. It helps to relieve the stress when our kids can hear from home and know how things are going back in the old hometown. Another good idea parents can do for their kids is to send them one of these digital picture frames. The parents can get one of these frames and upload a variety of old and new pictures, so their kids can get a taste of home from their college dorm rooms. Be sure to take some new pictures of the family members, the home, outside in the yard, and even include a few of the family pet if you have one.
One of these digital picture frames can hold a lot of pictures. The frame will randomly rotate these pictures, so your hard working college students can sit back and watch a variety of pictures from home. These frames aren’t really that expensive either and normally you can find a sale online for one of these high tech frames. Whoever came up with the idea to create one of these digital photo albums had a really good idea. These modern frames have become very popular in the college dorm rooms. This is a great way to remind your children of home and it helps to relieve some of the tension of college life. These cool picture frames really are a great gift idea for parents to give their sons or daughters; who are away from home and living life in a college dormitory.

The History Channel recently aired a series of programs that was called America the Story of Us. It starts off in 1607 when the first boats arrived in Jamestown from the British colony. It also showed the Pilgrims landing at Plymouth Rock later on. This TV program started with the white man first taking a step on this land and went from there. It showed how wars and technology shaped this country and how America became a super power today.
I thought this TV special was very good and there really isn’t anything around, that shows all the steps to how America was created. I think schools should start showing this program to their classes in the 7th grade and show it each year; until they graduate from the 12th grade. Let students watch this History Channel special on America each year for 6 years and more Americans would have knowledge and an understanding of how we got to where we are today. America the Story of Us is no longer showing on the History Channel. The series finale was on Monday, but you will probably be able to catch future showings; when they re-air this TV program. Keep a lookout for it, so you can watch this powerful TV series from the History Channel.

As a licensed driver on our roadways in the United States, it’s up to you to know the speed limit on the roads and highways you drive on each day. We know one or two miles per hour over the speed limit is fine and allowed in most areas. Even if you’re driving just 1 mile per hour over the speed limit, you’re breaking the law. I know on some roads you would get run over, if you drove the speed limit. It can be a little difficult sometimes, to know exactly how fast you can go, so you won’t get a senseless speeding ticket. Drivers that go over the speed limits in the double digits, need to get a ticket and these tickets help to make our roads safer in this country.
The Memorial Day weekend is here now and most states will have extra law enforcement on the roads, to help make sure drivers are not drinking and driving. They will also be setting up road blocks, to make sure drivers have a valid driver’s license. For those drivers that like to speed around a lot, this is not a good weekend to do that, since more law officers will be on the lookout for unusual driving behaviors.
A good radar detector can help drivers avoid speeding tickets. These little tech gadgets help to detect radar devices that are used to determine how fast drivers are driving. The one in the picture is a Whistler XTR-590 Radar Detector that is currently selling at Buy.com. This radar detector is selling at a good price and is probably cheaper than what you paid for the last speeding ticket you got. When you can invest in a tech product that will help save you money in the long run, it becomes a good investment.
If you figure the average speeding ticket is $100 or more and can find a radar detector on sale for less than $100; its easy to see how this product can save you money. You can take the heavy foot off of the gas pedal to help you most of the time, to avoid speeding tickets while driving. However, at some point we all need to drive a little fast to get to somewhere we need to be at a specific time. During these times when we are late and looking to make up a little time by driving fast, we could benefit from the services these radar detectors provide.
For the most part, all drivers need to slow down and realize being late is not as important as a big speeding ticket or causing an accident. During the holidays, like the Memorial Day weekend, we see just how serious the law is with holiday drivers. I would like to have a radar detector to help during these strict driving days, but to also have handy when I really need to get to somewhere fast. If one of these radar detectors help you to avoid a speeding ticket one time, they pay for their self right then and there. Do you own a radar detector? Do you think a radar detector would have helped you to avoid the last speeding ticket you got?

I never thought I would spend a weekend watching women’s college softball this weekend. The reason I was tuning-in was to watch Jen Yee, the best softball player in the country with all of her impressive stats she put up this year. Leading the nation in homers and batting average was on a couple of her stats she led all other college softball players in this year. It was a magical season for Jen Yee and she didn’t disappoint anyone that watched her play on Saturday or Sunday on ESPN. She lived up to the hype and delivered a lot for the Lady Jackets as they fell short in extra innings to Oregon on Sunday afternoon.
It’s not often on a Sunday afternoon that the Atlanta Braves is not showing on my TV at home. Yesterday I had the remote control in-hand; while flipping back and forth to the Braves and Pirates game to the Lady Yellow Jackets softball game. I found myself more wrapped up in the Lady Jackets than the Braves and that doesn’t happen too often. A big reason why was due to the fact of watching the 5th year senior from Canada Jen Yee do her thing. She was impressive in all aspects of the game and she’s the Alex Rodriguez of college softball. It’s too bad she won’t have a chance to swing the bat again for the Georgia Tech team, because she was worth watching, that’s for sure!
I guess Jacket fans can turn their attention to the Canadian team and watch Jen Yee continue to play softball this summer; as she will be representing her country of Canada. I will be curious to see how Team Canada does in softball and will be rooting for Jen Yee to rope another single up the middle or take one out of the park with her awesome home run swing. She brought that strong bat down from Canada, to the hot sun of Atlanta, Georgia; where she hit an impressive 29 home runs this year. Not to mention the fact she had a batting average of over .500; which means she was getting on base more, than making outs for her Georgia Tech softball team.
Jen Yee steps on the field, you know the girl will be giving 100%. She can’t even keep that energy bottled up for the game to begin as Jen was out there with the GT ground crews and was watering the field down. She started this on Saturday; while she just held the water hose on her shoulders. On Sunday, she did more than just hold the hose, as she was the one who was doing the actual sprinkling of water on the field and all of this right before the Georgia Tech and Oregon softball game. It didn’t slow her down either day, as she hit a home run against the Auburn Tigers softball team on Saturday and then hit a long home run over the right field porch in Atlanta on Sunday afternoon.
What now for the senior softball player from Tech? She has been working on an engineering degree; which she hopes to apply her education to producing a new bat. A bat that is a high tech bat and one that would provide better results than the current-day bats are providing to players. I think opposing pitchers would disagree with Ms. Yee and would probably let her know now, that there is nothing wrong with the bat she used in 2010 for the Lady Jackets softball team.
It was a magical day for the Lady Jackets as they spent most of Sunday trying to come back from the defecits they kept finding their selves in from the women’s team from Oregon. They had their own little slugger doing her thing.
Allie Burger from Oregon
It was a great Sunday afternoon for the lead-off hitter from Corvallis; where the Oregon team is from. Allie Burger is a star in the making and she probably learned a few things from Jen Yee in their two day battle against the Yellow Jackets in Atlanta. Burger almost hit a home run and was just inches away from clearing a long fly ball over the right field fence. This was a big hit in the game and Allie had a hot bat all weekend long in Atlanta. You don’t think her small size would be home run material, but their rivals from the Oregon State Beavers probably thought that too; when she hit her first college career home run off them this year. Oregon would win that game over Oregon State by a 6 to 5 score and Allie Burger hasn’t stopped swinging since. Look for this freshmen to make more noise in the 2010 tournament and for the rest of her college softball career. I won’t be surprised to see Allie Burger leading the nation in hits next year or at some point in her college softball career. She has a nice blend of power and speed that make her perfect for women’s softball. Her bat is a big reason why the Ducks didn’t need to play a 2nd game on Sunday against the Jackets softball team.
Did you spend the weekend watching these talented girls like Jen Yee from Georgia Tech and Allie Burger from the Ducks of Oregon? Don’t laugh or think this would have been a waste of time. If you like sports and watching two evenly matched teams go at it on the diamond in softball or baseball, you would have loved watching the softball in Atlanta his weekend. These girls are amazing and I wonder where they go after college? I guess the WNBA isn’t the only pro league women need to become professionals in sports. I think a women’s softball league on the professional level is needed, if there isn’t one now. I know there would be at least a dozen cities that would have an interest in this and folks in Georgia would have more than the Atlanta Dream from the WNBA to watch in women’s sports. I’m not that big of a fan of women athletes or the sports they play. When you see talent like Yee and Burger display at the plate, it makes you want to watch them play more.
The softball in Georgia Tech is in good shape. They have a lot of talented freshmen like Oregon’s Allie Burger that will be representing them on the field in 2011. I’m sure a few high school girls watched the action on Sunday and now want to be a part of the great softball program in Atlanta. A few more good recruits for next year and the women from Tech will be right back up there next year, defending their title as ACC Champions in women’s softball.
If Allie Burger or Jen Yee is reading my blog now, I do have a question for each of you. Please leave me a reply, if you’re currently online reading about your self and found my blog post through the search engines.
First question for Jen Yee: If you do come up with a better bat, will you make an effort to give the Lady Jackets softball team the first swings with it? Or will you be leaning more toward your teammates in Canada and providing the Canadian National Team with the first high-tech bats from Jen Yee?
Second question for Allie Burger: Did the games in Atlanta over the weekend have a more special place in your heart; than the diving catch you made in high school during the State Championship Game?
Allie played at Shadle Park High School and during her sophomore year, she made a diving catch to help her team win 2-0 in the State Championship game. I’m sure this catch will always be a lasting memory for Allie, but how does the college action and playing against the country’s best softball player in Jen Yee and beating her team; compare to the diving catch as a 10th grader at Shadle Park HS?
Great job Jackets! Hope to see you guys back in 2011! Also, I would like to wish the ladies from Oregon good luck as they continue their tournament play in 2010 and beating the odds in front of the hostile fans in Atlanta; that was primarily rooting for the Lady Jackets to win on Sunday afternoon. Congratulations to both teams!

Hello grooms and brides-to-be!
You can make your wedding favors something that they will remember.
You remember when Oprah Winfrey gave out a brand new car for each of her guests one day? Well that might be a little out of your price range, but you get my drift on where I’m going with this.

It’s really hard to say where the problem started and at what point it might end, but the recruiting process for Chicago Colleges has been nothing short of a hoops nightmare for the state. Going back to the days of Isiah Thomas who grew up in the Chicago area and would wake up at 5 AM each morning, to take a 90 minute commute to high school. He made this commitment at a very early age, so he could develop his basketball talents further at a good, private school in Chicago. His tremendous dedication led to a nice scholarship at the University of Indiana; which is outside the borders of Chicago, Illinois; where Thomas was born and played basketball. This would only be the start for the recruiting problems that Illinois colleges still face today. Letting a talented point guard like Isiah Thomas, who became an all star in the NBA for many years, get out of your backyard is not something the hoop fans in Chicago want to see very often.
In 1994 a powerful movie called Hoop Dreams came out and showed two basketball prospects over a 5 year period in Chicago, Illinois. This true story documentary on basketball followed the lives of Arthur Agee and William Gates. Both of these guys looked up to Isiah Thomas and he was their basketball idol while growing up in this film. Isiah’s old high school recruited both young men to play, but only one would survive after the first year; while the other one had to return back to his old high school. This movie points out a lot of the real-life struggles that take place on the streets of Chicago and how a college basketball scholarship is one way to leave the Chicago streets.
While Hoop Dreams was being seen for the first time around the country, another very interesting story was coming to light in Illinois basketball. A very tall and talented kid by the name of Kevin Garnett was making headlines and some were suggesting he would not even play college basketball and go straight to the NBA, because he was that good. Garnett was born and grew up in South Carolina, but transferred to a Chicago school called Farragut Career Academy. He played out his senior year there and also played along side high jumper Ronnie Fields. Most basketball fans know who Kevin Garnett is, but very few would know the name Ronnie Fields. It has been reported that Ronnie Fields had a 50 inch vertical leap and to put that in perspective, Michael “Air” Jordan had a 46 inch vertical leap during his highest flying days. Garnett and Fields both committed to play basketball at Depaul; which was a Chicago college. However, Kevin Garnett would skip out on Depaul and go to the NBA; while Ronnie Fields suffered an injury from a car accident and went to the CBA Draft; which was a pro league just under the NBA’s elite league, and got drafted in the 7th round by the LaCrosse Bobcats. It was another hoops nightmare for the recruiters working along side Chicago colleges. Two more talented high school stars that played in Illinois, but would never play for a college in Illinois.
A modern star for the Chicago Bulls is Derrick Rose, who also grew up in the Illinois area and chose to leave the state to play his college basketball down south in Memphis. I’m sure a lot of basketball fans are glad to see Rose back in their state playing basketball for them, even though the Colleges in Chicago must have tried everything in the world to keep this kid in state. It appeared the University of Illinois would change things up; when they almost got Eric Gordon from the state of Indiana. In one of the biggest and most public recruiting battles ever for a high school player, Gordon finally chose to be a Hoosier in his own home state and never did play for a college in Chicago. Gordon only stayed at Indiana for 1 year and now is a key member of the Los Angeles Clippers NBA team.
So the story continues in Chicago and the problems their colleges have with recruiting the basketball stars in their own home state. There is nothing they can do about the past and losing players like Derrick Rose, Isiah Thomas, Kevin Garnett, and others who have left the borders of Illinois to play basketball. They can only control the future and you can bet all the colleges in and around Chicago are now pulling out all the stops, so they can keep these kids in state. You can already see some of the early results with players like Brandon Paul and D.J. Richardson staying home to play at the University of Illinois in Champaign, Illinois.

Ok, first of all, let’s get rid of the word “obese” and change that to “fat“. Not trying to be insensitive, I just don’t see how sugar-coating words help any. If you want to battle tough issues, like bullies and bullying in schools; then take out the nice and politically correct words. Let’s face it, some kids are fat and some are not. Some kids are skinny and some are not. Some kids are cute and some are not. This is just a part of life and we all have to deal with it. If you have a fat kid, he or she may not win any marathons. If you have a skinny kid, they may not win any weight-lifting competitions. If you have an ugly kid, they may not win any beauty pageants. And so on and so on…
This new study I read today at Yahoo, states that fat kids or kids who are overweight, are the main targets for bullies. Kids who are different from others in their schools are always a lightning rod for getting bullied. A child that comes from a low-income family, their race, gender, and a lot of other things can be reasons for them getting bullied at school. According to the Yahoo study at their health section on May 3rd, they have found that fat kids get bullied more than all of these other reasons. If your child is overweight, it doesn’t matter if they are black or white, male or female, or if they come from upper, middle, or lower class families. They will have the bulls-eye on them, simply because they are overweight.
I found this to be an interesting angle on bullying. Many of the Hollywood movies, cartoons like the Simpsons, and from my own experiences as a child, I fould the bullies them self to be overweight in most cases. How often do we see the skinny kid being the bully in a movie or TV program? Aren’t most bullies the one that threaten other kids with their large size and the fact they could beat the snot out of them? Or at least sit on them? I do understand that fat kids will be the target of bullying, but I also believe they’re responsible for it too. The topic of bullies in schools is very popular right now and I really don’t see why. This is a part of growing up and just about every boy or girl has had to face or deal with a bully in their lifetimes.
Don’t Cute Kids Get Bullied Too?
I think a cute kid, male or female, has a big chance for getting bullied at some point in their lives growing up. A cute boy that the girls all like, will be targeted by other boys who may be jealous of his cute ways. A pretty girl growing up that has the eye of all her male classmates, may not be like by the other girls in her school. I think the Yahoo study should show that it’s the physical appearance that kids have, that make them the targets for bullies. Not fair to say fat kids are the number 1 target; when it really boils down to the physical traits a child has.
I believe we have bigger issues to face with our kids; than trying to stop bullying. Growing up with bullies is a part of life. Over time, the bullies eventually meet someone bigger and stronger than them and they get their own dose of bullying. The fat kid or the the ugly kid will one day see someone fatter or more ugly than them and they become a bully. There is no cure for bullying and most of this is kids just being kids.
I know if we could stomp out bullying it would make our children enjoy going to school more. If they never have to face a bully growing up, what will happen when they face one for the first time as an adult? Our children need a few bumps in the road and a bully is one of the most common bumps a child has on their educational paths. Learning things and dealing with things as a child is much better than having to face some of these issues as an adult. The mistakes our youngsters make are much more easier to fix; than the ones adults create.
I find the latest study at Yahoo, that points fat kids as the most likely targets, as a poor work of journalism. I’m guessing the author of this article is overweight or has a child that is overweight. Kids are mean, they don’t mean to be, but they are. Your fat kid is just as likely to be the target as they’re to be the actual bully and that makes them the problem. Let’s don’t put a weight on bullying in school. Clearly the physical appearances each child has and is different from the other kids, will have some issues to face. It doesn’t always have to be bad. Let’s let kids learn in school, because the lessons taught at early ages are much better, than the laws and jails that teach these lessons as adults.
Other Reasons Why Kids Get Bullied
The physical traits are the number 1 reason why kids get bullied in school. It’s not the only reasons that make them targets. What if your child is really smart or a slow learner in school? These two traits both get attacked equally and I wouldn’t say smart kids get bullied more than dumb kids. Why would anyone else say that fat kids or obese kids get targeted more than tall or short kids?
The clothing your child wears to school can make them the targets for being bullied. Since we don’t want bullies in school, I guess parents need to make their kids wear a different selection of outfits, right? Well if we start down this road; then all of our kids will be dressing the way others in their classroom dress. This totally cuts out the freedom of expression in our children. Making yourself more likable or more appropriate for others is not the right way to handle things. It’s great we are all different and we all have the freedom to dress or wear our hair the way we want to. No anti-bully rules should cross these lines and try to make all our kids the same. Let’s keep kids the same, so they can learn at a early age that we are all different. If they learn these differences as an adult, it could lead to them getting hurt from physical violence or they could just end up on the wrong side of the law.
Fat kids are not the problem! Adults trying to fix bullying in school is the problem. I realize some kids have committed suicide or chose to carry a gun to school to handle things on their own and these tragic situations can be led back to being bullied. It’s unfortunate when these things happen, but these cases are few and far in between. Parents, politicians, and school systems can really make things worse and one example of this, is the poorly written article at Yahoo, that claims fat kids are the top targets for kids to pester in school. Teach your kids the best way you know how and let’s let our kids handle the bullying issues. Parents should give advice and help their children when certain situations warrant the attention. For the most part, our kids will handle these bullying issues in school on their own. If more adults keep writing trash like that person at Yahoo did about bullying, we could really have a problem in this area one day.
Do you agree with my views on bullying? Do you agree more with the Yahoo article written on May 3rd in the health section at Yahoo? Please give your opinion and don’t be scared to choose a side in this discussion on bullying in our school systems.

If you need help or just need a legal question answered, there is help for you in the Lone Star state!

It was the Juniper bonsai tree that was featured in a big Hollywood movie most of us have seen. There are many other types of bonsai trees that exist in the garden area in stores or can be found online for sale. I didn’t know what a bonsai tree was, before I seen this one certain movie that featured this beautiful and unique tree. Do you know the movie I am talking about? You may remember how to paint a fence, wash a car, or catch a fly with chop sticks better than the bonsai tree part of this movie. Now do you know the famous movie that featured a bonsai tree? If you’re thinking about standing on one leg and doing a “crane kick“; then I believe you know which movie has the bonsai tree. It was a movie our school librarian showed to us in the 6th grade and the first time I ever seen it. So it’s not a recent movie, but still comes on TV a lot. The bonsai tree movie was the Karate Kid and it’s still one of my top 10 movies of all time. Anytime I see or hear about a bonsai tree, I quickly think about actor Pat Morita teaching Ralph Macchio, the art of clipping and shaping a bonsai tree. A lot of the bonsai trees don’t look like the one in the movie, but they’re still a part of the bonsai tree family.
ProFlowers - Juniper Bonsai Tree
If you have any trouble locating a bonsai tree in the garden department at a hardware, home supply, or other retail store that sells trees, flowers, and other plants. You can look online and find a large variety of bonsai trees at ProFlowers.com. This is where I will probably go; when I decide to get my own bonsai tree. I really like the Indian Hawthorn Bonsai tree. Be sure to check this one out, before you buy any other kinds of bonsai trees. I first want to own a Juniper bonsai tree (like the one in the Karate Kid movie), but the Indian Hawthorn Bonsai would be my 2nd choice. Overall, all of these bonsai trees are beautiful and you can’t go wrong with any selection.

Joanne Kathleen
Many people may not know the name Joanne Kathleen, but they do know this person. She is better known as J.K. Rowling and her claim to fame is the story about a boy wizard and his adventures. It was many years ago, when a young Joanne Kathleen was riding a train from Manchester, England to the capital city in London. It was on this train that sparked an idea to create a story about a boy named Harry. This wouldn’t be a normal boy, but a boy who was a wizard. Once the train ride was over, it wasn’t like Ms. Kathleen ran to a notebook and this famous story came to life. The creation would take many years later to come about, since Joanne was having to work as a teacher and didn’t have a lot of free time to write about this little boy named Harry.
Eventually things would work out and the story of Harry Potter was created. Even after the story of Harry Potter had been written, there was still publishers in England that was turning down this bright, young author. Finally a publishing company in the U.K. did buy the rights to Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling in 1997. A year later in 1998, the story would come to America and it didn’t take long for Joanne Kathleen to have enough money, so she could quit teaching and begin a series of books featuring the boy wizard named Harry Potter.
You can look online today and see some book website or a website selling movies that will have a sale on Harry Potter books, movies, and other related merchandise. All over the world, parents have been taking their kids to watch Harry Potter at the movies or buying each new book that gets written by J.K. Rowling (author of Harry Potter books).
For the kids which may still be too young to read these great books, parents do have the option of getting Harry Potter movies or the CD’s that feature the boy wizard. I think getting Harry Potter on Audio CD is the best way for these kids to learn about Harry Potter. One of these audio CD’s is a great thing to put on at bedtime each night. Your children can drift off to sleep; while listening to Harry and his friend’s adventures in this great series that is loved by kids world wide. Leaving the TV on all night produces too much light for sleeping and limits the imagination Harry Potter can create. Listening to Harry Potter on an audio compact disc, will force your child to create these adventures in their mind and develop those thinking skills early. Keep this in mind, before you buy the next Harry Potter movie.

We have found that advertising for itchy scalp medications to be on the rise. It seems that most dry scalp can be easily treated with simple over the counter shampoos or creams. What most people don’t know is that this is not a condition that can be treated in one application and needs to be treated over a few weeks.

Where we choose to work a lot of times, can be a big difference in our overall feelings toward our jobs. For instance, if you was a waitress at your local diner in town, you probably wouldn’t think about your job being that special. Now imagine if you was a waitress on an airplane. You would still be bringing people their food and drinks, but would be doing it 30,000 feet in the air; compared to being on the ground at a local fast food restaurant. Take it one step higher and imagine being a waitress on Air Force One and serving the President of the United States and his staff. Your job duties would be the same at all 3 places (local diner, regular airliner, President’s plane) but the excitement level would be so much better on the planes; than the typical job an ordinary waitress would work at on the ground.
Young ladies that have an interest in beauty school, can apply these same steps too. It would be easy to get a job with a local barber or beauty shop in your hometown. What if you could take your beauty school skills and go on a cruise each week to take care of the passengers? There is a cosmetology school in Virginia that could help you get there. The Regency Beauty Institute is one of the fastest growing schools in the country of its kind. The Regency beauty school was founded more than a half century ago. In 2002, they had two schools in the state of Minnesota. Now 8 years later, this fast growing cosmetology school has 30 campuses spread out over 9 states with one of them in Virginia.
You know that Virginia has a lot of ports and daily business that takes place at these sea side ports in Virginia. I think a woman could attend a beauty school in Virginia, at a Regency location, and be a short hop, skip and a jump away; from getting a job on one of those big cruise ships. Don’t settle for ordinary in your career choice and shoot for a luxury liner or some other place that wouldn’t make work seem like work.

The shark attacks that keep making the news is a result of them coming closer to our shorelines. Many of these attacks are not out in the deep seas or off a boat that is diving in the deep blue yonder. People are getting attacked by a variety of sharks and most of these are swimmers that are 100 yards or closer to the shore line. This disturbing pattern is a good reason for parents and travelers to take notice. If you plan to visit a place that occupies the coast line of the ocean, be aware that there is sharks out there roaming around. It doesn’t matter which state or country you’re in, shark attacks can happen in warm waters or in the icy cold waters further up north.
A family vacation that comes with the ocean surf and beach sands, should know that sharks are waiting for us to go swimming. New patterns in their behavior is showing clear signs of their feelings toward us. We are now one of the things sharks look for to eat and all men, women, and children are on the menu. The experts would like us to believe the odds in getting bit by a shark, but this is not good enough for someone that wants to come back from vacation with all of their limbs in tact.
Do we really care if getting struck by lightning is more likely to happen than a shark bite? Do we really care that millions of people enter the salty waters each day and only a few dozen unlucky swimmers get bit by sharks? The fact is, if a shark crosses your path and decided to take a bite, you will be leaving a lot of bone, tissue, muscle, and skin behind in its mouth. The amount of blood you lose can be enough to kill you and the loss of blood may be the least of your concerns. If you do manage to get medical help from a shark bite, the chances of living a normal life is slim to none.
Why chance a swim in the ocean for the chance to go through life without an arm, leg, or a hunk of your body that you will need for the rest of your life. Until we can learn why sharks are increasing their attacks on humans, everyone should avoid the oceans. Going out in the water and keeping the water line below your belt line is the safest way to play in the oceans today. Making the move to go out in water above your head is just way too risky for anyone and nobody should ever get this deep in any ocean in the world. Stay safe and keep away from all oceans is the best advice you can get this summer; before you plan that next trip to the beach or taking a summer vacation to a ocean nearby. The oceans are no longer safe for us to play in and we should all avoid them!

Hello all college math students! I’m glad you found me. I was once in your shoes too. Where is the search taking you today? Are you looking for linear maps? Maybe you want linear matrices? Not sure if I can help you with the real reason you came here. All of that linear matrix algebra and things like that; always was a little over my head.
College math students are bright and should know the power of a matrices, right? I’m looking for the best college math students who are ready to put a matrix to work and actually benefit in a positive way. Since I know most college students are broke and always needing money, let’s get our matrix set up, so we can get good math students to grow this thing right.
I know cost was going to be an issue, but it does take a little money from each, so it gets circulated around. As the matrix expands, so does the belly of the matrix that will be feeding all of us a lot of cash! The cost for the perfect matrix I found is $11. It is honest, I already been paid multiple times and there is more than one way you can make money from it. The one time payment of eleven dollars gets you in and there is never another penny you will have to spend.
You complete cycles to get paid or to move up. Each cycle takes 6 people to be completed. The first time you complete this 6 member cycle, you will earn $30! The members that earn money will be notified immediately by email. Your actual payment varies, but 2 to 7 days has been the norm for everyone so far. You made profit right here and got your eleven dollars back, so everything from this point on is icing on the cake. A lot of icing to be made here and no cost to us. The reason why; you get placed in a higher level matrix the 2nd time you complete your 6 member cycle. Everyone starts off in bronze and this 2nd matrix is silver. You get 6 members in the silver matrix, this will pay $110. Complete the silver a 2nd time, you get placed in the gold matrix for free and a completed cycle for gold matrix pays $275. The last level is platinum and the first time you get 6 people for the platinum, will result in a nice payout of $550!
Now the best part about this matrix, once you enter silver, gold, and platinum; you keep each one and no level will ever vanish. Even the bronze level we all came in on, will continue to pay us that $30. This means we can eventually have 4 matrices and getting paid nice sums of cash, each time we complete a 6 member cycle.
You don’t have to do all the work in this matrix either! People will get placed in your different levels and this happens in two ways. The person you joined under will help to create spillovers and the people you bring in will create spillunders. This means we can all fill up our levels faster; since we don’t have to do all the work.
You can study those linear math problems later. Go ahead and sign up now. Go find a few of your other math buddies and get them in on this and tell them to spread the word too. Pretty soon we will have enough math students surrounding us, the linear matrix solver will actually be us. This is a great way to get some extra spending money and have a nice sum of cash waiting for you after college graduation.
This matrix only accepts Alert Pay. It’s just like Pay Pal and its the 2nd most popular way for people to send and receive money online. If you don’t have an Alert Pay account yet, go do that now. Fund a little money to it and you can add a credit card to your account there for faster service. Once you got the 11 dollars in Alert Pay, go join the college math students matrix and let’s prove how easy it can be to make money with a program that was designed with math in mind.
I don’t have to break the numbers down to you guys. You already know this stuff. Just imagine if 1 out of every 1000 college math students in the world joins; the figures would become very hard to calculate. If you ever asked, how to solve matrices, I believe this is the answer! Time to go find a matrices calculator to keep up with the dollars that will be coming in.
All of this is completely legal! No college students in the USA have to worry about it and I’m pretty sure the rest of the world is safe too. You do get some valuable tools and online marketing items in the back office. So you’re being provided real items with your payment of $11. Now go spread the word, so we can start seeing this on CNN and I’m sure they will make a movie about this one day too! How a few math students came together to make each other millionaires!

An educational tutor to assist a student online is one of the easiest ways to get help for your child’s studies. Perhaps right now you’re looking around online to find that tutoring help. Well you can stop looking and the search is over. I can point you in the right direction, so you can learn more about online tutors. I’m sure you have a lot of questions and will want to know the costs, how long does it last, what subjects are tutors available for, how many times a week, and is there a refund if it doesn’t help. At least those would be some of the questions I would be asking, if I was preparing to hire an Online Tutor.If you want to learn more about online tutoring and how it works, you can go to tutornext.com. They can help answer some of these questions (if not all) and supply you with enough information; to determine if an online tutor is the way to go.
Tutors are available for all ages and grade levels. Some people may not see a need for a kindergarten tutor or one of the lower grades, like 1st or 2nd grade. There are certain situations, a parent will need help for a child this young and tutors are ready to assist them online. These online tutors will help K-12 students. Often the parent can’t help much, once their child is in high school. The classes get much tougher and the needs for a tutor do go up in most cases.
After the 12th grade or senior year in high school, your son or daughter should be planning for more education at the college level. Free Online Tutoring doesn’t stop after the high school graduation is over. If your child was relying on a online tutor to get through those difficult high school years, they will probably continue to need their assistance in college too. For those students that never used a tutor in grade school or high school; may find the college classes too much to handle. Finding a good online tutor could be the difference in a college student graduating or quitting after their first semester.
I would imagine a Math Tutor online would never run out of students. We begin learning our math skills from day one. Each passing year our minds get stretched further and further with these complicated math problems. Math Tutors Online would be a big help to so many students. They probably aren’t even aware that this kind of help exists on the Internet. This is where parents can come in and save the day. Be sure to talk to your kids about their school work. Try to find out if a subject like math is really difficult for them or if it’s just the average level of difficult, we all had before online tutors were a reality. One of the things I do know about Tutornext.com, your child can contact their tutors anytime they need help and as many times as needed. I think their services could be the perfect match, if you did come online today searching for a new tutor or one for the fist time.
