Football

One thing I love about this time of year is the fact that football season is here. The preseason is starting and I can be found in front of the TV watching the games. I will once again root for my favorite team the Washington Redskins. I hope well have a better year than last.

Whatever happens, I enjoy the game and am glad we will all have something to talk about every Monday morning. I wish your teams the best of luck this year. That is of course unless your team is playing the Redskins!!

Wolves and us

For many years, the gray wolf was a key part of the ecology in the western United States. They lived along side the other animals and made sure that other species were kept healthy and strong by eliminating the weak. That all changed when farmers and ranchers moved in to raise cattle and pigs.

The wolf population was decimated and they were all but extinct. Strict laws were enacted to restore their population and their numbers have risen. Now some states are claiming that the wolf population is too high and they want to hunt some of the animals to keep their numbers down. The courts are scheduled to rule on this matter shortly and we will wait to see what the results are.

A sense of style

This summer has been a good one for us. While the weather has been a little on the hot side, we have still managed to use our yard to great effect. I have had several barbeques and have invited many of my friends over to enjoy the food. What was really surprising was that many of these people have commented on the fiberglass planters that we have on the deck. They like the way they look and the fact that they are built to last.

I believe it was my daughter who first came up with the idea to get them. She had seen a fiberglass planter at a friend’s house and had to have one. We checked them out on the internet and found that there were many different ones to choose from. You can choose from many sizes, shapes, or colors. You can also get your fiber glass planter shipped to you for free. It’s a great deal.

We like the way our house looks now that we have the ability to add plants where ever we want them. They make the place look so much better and are set off by every fiber glass planter that holds them. I am glad we are so lucky to have a daughter who has such a good sense of style.

Majority

One thing that is particular to America is that the majority rules. This is the way our founding fathers set up our nation and it has served us well over the years. This years coming election will be important for both the democrats and republicans. There are many seats available and no one knows who will get the majority.

The GOP is campaigning hard to regain control of the house. Both sides are opening their war chest and funding massive campaign advertising. The outcome will surely affect our countries future and I hope the voters will choose wisely.

Clean it up!

Since the economy has been in a tailspin over the last couple of years, this has led to many people having trouble paying their bills on time. The problem is that this can hurt your credit and cause many problems when you want purchase something. Recently, a friend of mine was having this type of problem and he asked me for help. I told him about what I had learned previously.

Being as my daughter had been through this type of thing, I knew a few tricks on how to Improve & Fix your Credit Score. There are many ways to do this, but one of the best that I found was by going to a site called thecreditpeople.com. They can help you by giving you advice on the best way to proceed. It’s easy to do and won’t cost you a fortune to do.

Taking control of your credit score is one of the best things you can do. It will allow you to take control of your life by cleaning up your finances. This in turn will open many doors for you and allow you to make better choices about your future. I highly recommend that anyone with a credit problem try out a credit repair services company. I am sure that you will be glad you did.

Breakout

The department of corrections in Arizona announced today that three inmates have escaped. Tracy Province, Daniel Renwick, and John McCluskey cut a hole in the fence at the Arizona State Prison and got away on Friday. The men were helped by a woman named Casslyn Mea Welch who helped them make their getaway.

The men then kidnapped two truck drivers and used their vehicle to drive toward the Flagstaff area. The men then escaped on foot and left the truck drivers unharmed. Police say the men may be dangerous as all three were convicted of murder. Anyone who sees these men should report it their local authorities immediately.

The learning curve

Since I am fortunate enough to work in an office, I get to learn many things that I would not normally know about. I had the chance recently to learn more about what a dedicated server was and how it affected our business. We rely heavily on the internet and need to keep our website going at all cost. We bring in a lot of business that way and it is important to our bottom line.

It turns out that a server is what keeps your website running. It performs many basic functions that are important. Things like security, redundancy, and latency are all important factors to be considered. Another item we are concerned with is managed hosting. This is a practice that allows us to concentrate on making money as opposed to spending our time trying to figure out what is wrong with our site.

Another word that came up was colocation. I must admit that I didn’t have a clue as to what is was and was interested to find out. This is an option for people who already have a server but want someone to take care of it for them. Servers can be temperamental and it takes a lot of skill to keep them going. I was glad to learn more about the subject at hand and hope I will soon be able to talk more intelligently about it.
