The NFL decided to make two NFL teams happy in 2014 and awarded the Super Bowl bid for 2014 to the New York Jets and the New York Giants. It’s a bit tricky when you’re in this area of New Jersey. The actual stadium, which goes by the name New Meadowlands Stadium is located in New Jersey, but is right next door to the New York metropolitan area. Both NFL teams (Giants and Jets) share this new stadium for all of their home football games and they carry the New York name in their NFL city titles. If baseball fans think the subway series between the Mets and Yankees is something to see, you can only imagine the power a 2014 Super Bowl, that featured the NFC Giants and the AFC Jets would create. It would probably be impossible for the average person to get New Meadowlands Stadium Tickets, if the NY Giants and NY Jets did square off in the 2014 Super Bowl.

Some people have a knack for always being able to find those hard-to-get tickets. A lot of websites online can provide help to those that want to attend an event, which is said to be sold out. Someone looking for PNC BANK CENTER TICKETS, could search online and find a specific ticket to a specific event. Even if the box office had none left to sell to the general public.

What makes the 2014 Super Bowl so special, is the fact its a cold climate stadium that will be hosting the event. We could see the Super Bowl in 2014 played in snow or very cold temperatures, since the Super Bowl usually happens around late January to early February. This move to have a winter-weather Super Bowl, also leaves other northern cities in the running for a future Super Bowl. I’m sure people in Chicago would like to buy tickets to Super Bowl Sunday, instead of buying Chicago Theatre Tickets for that day. Does this new cold weather move suggest a hint that the NFL will expand into Canada too? We may have a Canadian NFL team competing in the 2014 NFL post season.

I guess since this Super Bowl is so far away and any NFL team could be playing in it, I will go ahead and lay down a prediction, that I will stick to 4 years from now. I will say the NFC will be represented by the Detroit Lions in the 2014 Super Bowl. I will predict their AFC opponents to be the Miami Dolphins. I have a feeling some warm weather team will be present in the New Meadowlands Stadium, so I will root for the Dolphins and Lions to play in this outdoor Super Bowl; which will take place on New Jersey soil in the New York area.

A lot of companies online and on television spend a lot of money on advertising, trying to get your business. There are a lot of different choices for all types of insurance. Finding a website online that will show various rates for different companies is a quick and easy way to find a new insurance plan for yourself. You can check out places like wholesale insurance and see if they can help find a new insurance plan that meets your needs and your budget.

Do you know which person is the luckiest one in your office? The one who makes the most money? Well, you could say that and the highest paid employee is always the luckiest. Someone that doesn’t get paid as well, but still a very lucky person in the office, is the one who gets to buy and pick up the office supplies. At least this is true for the offices that send out an employee to buy extra pens, staples, printing paper, and custom presentation folders during business hours. If you can get paid for doing it and get a chance to get out of the office; then this employee is very lucky in my book. I hate running to the office supply store for myself, but would love a break from the office and get a chance to get paid while doing it. For those that have been lucky enough to get this position in the office, know what I am talking about. It may not sound like a position that is lucky, but staying in the office all day for 8 hours is not too fun or lucky.

The 24 hour restaurant is more common now. We use to just have a couple of chain restaurants that would serve customers 24 hours a day and now there are several which do this. You may even be lucky enough to have a private or one-of-a-kind restaurants in your hometown that serves up breakfast and dinner 24 hours a day.

There is just something magical about a food place that stays open after midnight. A lot of restaurants today are trending to the “open late” campaign, in which they will stay open longer than usual. This usually occurs in the summer months and some places may only offer a drive-thru service for their open late hours.

I’m a night owl, so I have eaten a lot of my meals after midnight. I have also had my share of 3rd shift jobs, so trying to find a hot lunch at these hours have always been a challenge. I love the night and sleeping through it seems like a waste. I hate to sleep through all of the daylight hours too, so the less sleep the better. Even though sleep is one of my favorite things to do. Makes a lot of sense, huh?

I even like watching the big Hollywood movies that will take place all night long or end up in a late night diner. I recently saw a movie called Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist and this is a good example of an all night movie. The Dazed and Confused movie is also another good example and they recreated this late night fun in a 2nd movie they did on top of this one.

The hard part can be finding friends to share these late night hours with you. I know for teens and people in their early twenties, this might not be too challenging. As you get into your 30′s, you will find there are less and less friends you can go out and have an all-nighter with. I still have 1 or 2 people I can count on for the 2 to 3 a.m. hours of the night. If I want to see the sun rise the next morning, I will probably be alone for that to happen now. It’s just one of the parts of growing up and how people get married, have families, and then have to wake up early for a job the next day. I have not did the marriage or family part yet, but I have had a little taste of the 9 to 5 job, where you have to be in bed at 10 or 11 p.m. each night. It’s a little depressing to call it a night at those hours and I will stay up past 2 a.m. on most nights.

A night on the town that takes all night to do, is still a winning formula in my book. The 24 hour restaurants are one of the fun things to do in these hours, when most people are dreaming away in their beds. If you can find the bowling alley or pool hall that stays open 24 hours a day, then you really have some all night fun you can get into.

If you want to do some recording on the DVD player, you must first know what to buy for your specific DVD player. These blank CD’s or discs are specially formatted to fit different types of DVD players. I’m not sure if there is a more common format to record on or not. What you don’t want to do is get to the store and guess which one to buy. Even though you may have a 50 percent chance of getting it right, it will more than likely be the wrong kind, since you do have a 50 percent chance in getting it wrong. So please check your DVD player or the manual to see which format your DVD player records in. You may have one that will record in both formats, but it seems most of the ones I see only use one format to record in.

The Maxell DVD +R in the purple picture is a “plus” formatted disc. Make sure you see where the plus symbol appears on the package, so you will be able to recognize the blank discs you’re buying for your DVD player. The Maxell DVD -R in the blue pack are the ones that have the minus symbol on them and they will only work in DVD players that record in that format.

It’s great to record things on DVD players. These recordings last much longer than the old-style of VCR recordings on the VHS tapes. It really isn’t that expensive and if you buy your blank CD’s on sale at a electronics store or online at a place like Buy.com; you might even see it is cheaper to record on DVD’s than the VCR tapes. The quality of your recordings look better on DVD too, so if you’re still recording on the VCR, its time to make a change to the DVD player. Just make sure you know which blank discs to buy for the DVD player you plan to record on. You can also save a little money, if you will buy in bulk on these blank DVD discs.

Gary Coleman Dead?

It appears to be true and the actor that once played Arnold Jackson on the TV series Different Strokes, is no longer with us. He had some sort of bleeding or hemorrhaging in the brain, that caused him to be put in the hospital on Wednesday. He would later slip into a coma and was put on life support. On Friday, the family decided to take the life support off of Gary Coleman and he later died. Gary Coleman was 42 years old and left us with some great laughs from his appearances on television.

I grew up watching Different Strokes and I really liked that show. I never had a big brother, so I wanted a big brother like Willis, who was played by Todd Bridges. I thought his sister Kimberly (Dana Plato) was hot and I wanted a girlfriend like her. Then you figure how rich Arnold’s family was and I thought that was a perfect situation for me. Years later, after the show ended, the story of Dana Plato who was Gary Coleman’s sister “Kimberly” had a tragic ending. She died of an accidental over dose and has been dead for awhile now. Things haven’t been going too well for the other childhood actors Arnold and Willis, but at least they was still alive. Well that isn’t true anymore, since little Arnold has passed away today at the age of 42.

Hearing this news today, makes me think of the day when Michael Jackson passed away. Gary Coleman was just as big as Michael Jackson and probably bigger in the early years of the 80′s decade. Coincidentally the last name of Arnold on Different Strokes was “Jackson”. Also, the actress that played Charlene (girlfriend to Willis), who played on several episodes, was the real life sister to Michael Jackson. Janet Jackson has created her own name in the entertainment world and isn’t just Michael’s sister anymore. Janet Jackson was Penny on the TV show Good Times and then later appeared as Charlene on Different Strokes. I wonder what is going through her mind today, after the shocking news her brother Michael was dead and now one of her co-stars on Different Strokes, has suddenly passed away at only 42 years of age. Today is a sad day for many and lots will be paying their respects for this very funny actor we know as Arnold from Different Strokes.

Look and find  cheap car insurance online with just a few simple clicks.

No longer are gold and silver credit cards the thing to have. In an effort to offer consumers a reason to switch credit card companies, banks are finding new ways to pimp their cards. One company is getting ready to launch a “scratch and sniff” card that will smell like coffee or one of as many 90 smells. A company that makes the plastic cards, has prototypes for prospective banks that will have the fuzzy feel of a tennis ball, or the feel of a football. If banks can get consumers to use their cards, it is a win for them., There are so many choices and most consumers only switch cards every 3-5 years.

American Express is looking to roll out a Titanium credit card for their Centurion customers. These are customers they charge in excess of $250,000 per year. It is all about the prestige and the recognition factor. Who wouldn’t want to pull out a card to pay for those new jeans that looks like a tennis ball. Many of them are now offering budget support in order to manage your total spend to stay within limits. This is probably one of the best ideas that has been implemented to actually help the customer manage their debt instead of helping them get more into debt.

Senior citizens are now living in an age where technology has brought about so many changes in their everyday lives. These changes have not overlooked the senior citizen community.

Cell phone companies are now making cell phones that are geared towards the senior citizen. They are making the numbers on the keypad appear larger on cell phones. This is a very good thing for the only person who has a very hard time seeing numbers. Since more and more cell phone companies are catching on to this new trend, seniors now have a variety of cell phones to choose from.

A computer will allow a senior citizen to do research on Miracle Ear Prices at home. This will particularly come in handy if they are interested in making a major purchase. They will be able to do research at home, instead of going by the word of a salesperson wants to make a quick sale. This is particularly important will because a lot of times people think they can get over on senior citizens, but a well-informed senior citizen will be able to go into a place of business and know exactly what they want. Grandchildren are very helpful when it comes to senior citizens learning how to use the Internet. There are also many classes that are geared towards senior citizens learning about the online world.

Senior citizens can also utilize the Internet to meet new people around their age. There are numerous communities online there aimed towards the elderly. These online communities will help them get over a sense of sometimes feeling alone. They can just log online and feel as though they are in touch with the outside world.

Whether it is a free hearing test or a wheelchair, technology has brought about so much change for the senior community that is a necessity for senior citizens learn how to adapt.

G.T. Star Slugger Jen Yee

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!

Your average local business wants to see you. They will go all out to do whatever it takes to get you to use their products or services; they’re providing for you and others living in your hometown. This means leaving no stones left unturned and you certainly can’t overlook the biggest stone of them all. The World Wide Web is the boulder for every small business in every small town in America. They want to appear in any local search you do for your area of the world. As much as they want to advertise online to find you; the same should hold true for you to find them. Why drive out of town or go long distance to find a certain item you’re trying to track down? Especially if you can find it locally in your area.

The way we search for things online is changing. It’s changing for the better too, as more and more local businesses are appearing on the searches we do online. This is a very convenient way to learn more about a business in your area and it’s much easier than picking up the phone book and calling around. The yellow pages in the phone book have always been a valuable service to local communities. Now that we have computers, those with an Internet connection can search for the local yellowpages online for their specific hometowns. Every business owner that has a shop on Main Street in your neck of the woods, should be advertising to the local consumers in their area. It works out great for them, as they should see a spike in business and it makes things easier for us, when we do search for their services or products online.

The first place you will want to use is Local.com. They have combined all the local resources in and around your area, so you can easily find all the local companies that produce or provide what it is you’re looking for online. The Net is full of good websites for local areas like CitySearch.com, Superages.com, Yellowpages.com, and Yelp.com. All of these sites provide information to one greater website called Local.com. It’s almost like a series of streams and rivers that flow into one big lake of local information and that lake is Local.com.

Try using Local.com the next time you want to search for something in your local area. I use these local searches a lot for phone numbers to my favorite restaurants; when I want to call-in an order-to-go over the phone. You can find the phone numbers, addresses, driving directions, and other detailed information about the local restaurants in your hometown; if you use Local.com to search for these food places. The World Wide Web is now open for business in your local hometowns. Once you see how easy it is to use, you will never want to pick up the phone book again!

I sat out two tarby worm trees behind my house about 15 years ago. Each year they get a little bigger and that means a few more tarby worms on them. Today is the first day I have seen the white blooms on them flower out. A tarby worm tree isn’t that big and mine are probably about 18 feet tall. It’s a pretty sight to see the white blooms with a touch of brown color inside each bloom. It’s these flowers on the trees that will attract the moths to them. When the moths come in to eat the nectar from these white blooms (like the bees do), they will lay eggs on the leaves and branches of the tarby worm tree. Its these eggs that will hatch in a couple of weeks and become small worms. We call these worms “tarby worms” and they will spend their whole life eating off all of these leaves on the tarby worm trees.

These tarby worms make a great fish bait. They may not work as well as the white eagle does in catching its fish to eat each day, but I have had a lot of luck with catching fish from tarby worms. A tarby worm is a lot like a caterpillar, but without all of the prickly hairs like most caterpillars have. A tarby worm is smooth and they are black on their back side with little white dots. Their underside or the belly of the tarby worm is a bright lime green color. I believe this bright color sticks out well under water and fish can find them real easy in the lakes and rivers where you like to go fishing at. You can catch pretty much anything, if you use tarby worms as the bait. I mainly have caught bass, but bream, catfish, carp, and other fishes will go after the tarby worm. The white eagle is a beautiful bird that catches its fish with a lot of grace and ease. Or at least it appears that way to see them grab a fish from the waters like they do. I don’t think the tarby worm fishermen will make anyone’s fishing technique graceful-looking, but you should have a little luck catching fish, if you use tarby worms as the bait. The best part of all is the price for the tarby worms their self. Since they’re free, it makes owning a couple of tarby worm trees well-worth the price.

I should be having my first batch of tarby worms around the 4th of July. The worms are only around for about 1 week to 10 days. So you have to plan your fishing trips around Mother Nature, if you plan to use tarby worms in your bait tackle boxes. After the tarby worms have ate all the leaves from the trees, they disappear from sight. The trees then begin growing new leaves and will be full of leaves in no time at all. Once all the new leaves get fully grown, the tarby worms will hatch for a 2nd time and make one more seasonal appearance. This is your 2nd opportunity to get a few tarby worms to take fishing with you. I love to fish with them and I can’t wait until early July to go fishing with the tarby worms that will soon be appearing in my backyard. Let me know if you have seen or heard about tarby worms or the tarby worm trees? Also, please share your fishing stories on the success or lack of success you had; while using tarby worms as your bait.

We have those certain times of the year we can count on certain things. Around the Thanksgiving holidays, we can always count on shoppers to pack the malls the Friday after Thanksgiving Day or Black Friday. Then after the weekend; we get to see the most online shoppers on Cyber Monday. Now for this time of year; we get to see our highways and Interstates get swarmed by cars, trucks, vans, motorcycles, and the family RV. The weather warms up and everyone wants to go on vacation to some far away place, they must drive hundreds of miles to get to. You know these people like you know the shoppers at Thanksgiving looking for Christmas gifts. The holiday travelers need food and gas. This is a good time for those in the food and gas business and have a business close to a major highway. Predicting when these travelers will show up and what they will buy, is easy to do for the experienced owners in the gas and food industries.

A service station that didn’t buy extra toilet paper or have it in stock in the bathroom, may run out real fast, if they don’t prepare for the travelers that need to take restroom stops. A convenience store that didn’t order enough soft drinks, may lose out on some money, if they can’t provide a cold soft drink to their customers. It makes good business sense for these companies to prepare for all the travelers that will hit the highway from now until late August. It works the same way right after Thanksgiving; when the malls offer big sales on Black Friday and give out the best online deals the Monday after the Thanksgiving Day weekend.

If you don’t know what I could possibly be talking about with corn and worms; then you probably never been fishing before. I like to do all sorts of fishing and I will do whatever it takes to catch a fish. One of the best ways to teach children to fish and get them into the sport of fishing, is to take them bream fishing. This is perfect for the impatient fishermen who must have a bite every minute or they don’t think the fish are biting.

Bream are a small fish and they are easy to find. Just about any lake or river, you can find schools of small bream hugging the shorelines. You don’t have to cast out to catch them. Just release about a fishing rod’s length of line out and bait your small hook with corn or worms and you can catch bream all day long. Just toss the line out by hand, keep your hands on the pole, because it won’t take these little fish long to bite. In fact, if you haven’t gotten a bite in less than 1 minute, you may want to check your hook to see if any bait is still left on it. If this isn’t the problem, then go find a new place to bream fish.

I always like to go bream fishing one time a year. The first fishing trip of the year is perfect for bream fishing. It gives fishermen a chance to develop their fish-catching skills for the upcoming fishing season. You get a chance to anticipate the bite and get to jerk your rod, while you try to hook these fish with very small mouths. A small hook is a must for bream fishing. They will have a hard time getting their lips around the larger hooks and you will just be feeding them. You can catch a lot more bream, by using the smallest hooks you have in your tackle box. Be sure to carry plenty of bait, if you plan to fish for any length of time. You can go through a whole tub of worms or can of corn in 1 hour or less; when you go bream fishing. I have been digging up worms around the house now and putting them in a 5 gallon bucket. So when I get ready to go bream fishing, I will have my worms ready to go.

Most bream are too small to keep. If you can find some that are bigger enough to string, you will want to take them home and clean them. Bream is one of the best tasting fish our fresh waters in North America offer. I love to eat bream and they are even more fun to catch. If you have a small child you would like to take fishing this year, get them set up with a bream gear (corn and earthworms). Buying the worms in the store is pretty expensive, considering how fast the bream will eat your store-bought worms. You can do yourself a favor, if you will start digging your worms now and giving them a chance to multiply, before you go fishing again. Creating a worm bed is pretty simple. I just use a 5 gallon bucket and feed them the table scraps. You can put just about anything in your worm bucket or worm bed; when it comes to food. Avoid the meats and cheeses and your worms will grow really fast and multiply faster than rabbits. A little cornmeal in the bucket every now and then is a great food source for your worms. Don’t forget to add a little water (don’t drown them), so your soil stays good and moist for the worms to thrive in.

Some women will never have to worry about what they eat or ever concern their self with that ugly “D” word. Yes, the dreaded diet! While only a small percentage of women in the world has this luxury; the rest have to find ways to make it work the best way they know how to. Some women that have that slight bulge in the middle can tuck it in real easy and without anyone ever knowing. A simple kymaro body shaper can curve your body into a shape you feel more comfortable with in public. Slipping one of these on is the fastest way to a trim waist-line and you don’t have to spend weeks or months dieting to get this look. So it is possible to be a slim woman and never have to diet, to get there.
