Coke Zero Video Directors

When drinking an ice cold Coke beverage isn't good enough - how about drinking that same great beverage while directing your very own, "Life as it should be" film strip. Coke zero has a great web site where you can do just that while enjoying your real taste, zero sugar, Coke zero, while becoming one of many directors out there. Then send it to one or more of your friends so that they can view your film clip or better yet they can create one of their own.

Discovery Channel

Once again we are bombarded with too much information in reguards to all that is wrong with America. The 24/7/365 news networks are either too far Right or to far Left and are so negative. I therefore recommend the Discovery Channel as a new news channel. If you watch The Discovery Channel long enough you will realize that the world is beautiful, wonderful, mysterious and very small. The Discovery Channel explores the world with all of its diversity including people, making no judgements but just showing the reality of the situation.

Ultimate Paintball

Several years ago I introduced my son to the world of paintballing with a Triumph XT Paintball PowerPack gun by Tippmann. That paintball gun has been a real treat for him and me, we shoot all the time and the best part is the paint is gone in a couple of days. Naturally my son started searching the web for paintball supplies to see what is available and visited Ultimate Paintball web site. Ultimate Paintball web site is hot, easy to navigate and full of pictures to highlight their large inventory of awesome paintball guns, and supplies. You name it and Ultimate Paintball has the latest top selling products like a Tippmann A-5, Tippmann 98 Custom gun, Smart Parts Ion, Spyder Pilot ACS or how about a sniper paintball gun and all the extras you would ever want including free shipping. Visit Ultimate Paintball web site for the ultimate in paintball experience and then get out in the woods and have the best time ever.

Gadsden Purchase

While reviewing the industrial sites that my employer monitors in Mexico a friend mentioned the Gadsden Purchase which I had not heard of before. Searching the web for information I found that in 1854, the United States purchased a strip of territory (approximately 30,000 square miles) from Mexico in what is now southwestern New Mexico and southern Arizona. The purchase price was $10 million, which at the time was greatly overpriced for what was essentially desert lands, because this price reflected the public sentiments at the time. Many Americans considered the price of the Gadsden Purchase as "conscience money" or additional compensation for the earlier purchase of vast tracts of land under the 1848 Guadalupe-Hidalgo Treaty (American-Mexicam War of 1848). This is interesting because the acquisition of land in this purchase defined the present boundaries of the continental United States.

Hotel Reseverations.com

Traveling is something everyone does whether it's for a week or a weekend and I love to travel throughout the states anytime of the year. Visiting out of state hotels can became an intriguing experience especially when you show up late at night and have to sign in quietly but your kids think that it's okay to talk loud and run instead walking to the room. We decided to make Hotel Reservations prior to traveling just to make sure that the kids don't have enough time to act foolish. I have used HotelReservations.com before and found that they have a very well developed site that is easy to navigate even for those who don't like to enter information and reserve rooms like myself. The site offered vacation packages, vacation rentals, cars, flights, hotels in almost every country on the planet. We are looking at visiting my family this summer and I plan on using the coupon that is offered at HotelReservations.com. With me staying for a week I am going to save at least $45.00 on my expenses. I viewed the many Vacation Packages that are also offered and I have to say that they look rather tempting. All you need to do is select one of the following in order to get going,
- Flight + Hotel + Car
- Flight + Hotel
- Hotel + Car
- Flight + Car
If you have any questions regarding the offers or availablility of hotels, cars and flights feel free to visit HR's FAQs for those very questions that might already be answered for you. Don't wait until the day before your vacation to decide what you want to do and where to stay but if you do then visit HotelReseverations.com today and save immediately on that next getaway or company business trip.

How Can this Be!

Watching CNN today I saw a video of a young man who apparently had everything lined up just right for his future, ended up dead because he apparently took someone else’s parking space. I tell you what - this country can be a great country but those few individuals that do stupid things like murder really need to be taken out of society so the ones that wish to succeed can. How good of a parking space was it that made that young man think that spending 2 life sentences in prison was worth killing someone! What is happening to this civilized country of ours?

PhotoHunt # 72 Happy

This is my dad John, and his sister Clara at the Leach, Frazier, Broyles, Carrol annual family reunion in Jellico Tenn. Looking at their glowing faces, their shinning eyes and their happy smiles they are a perfect fit for this weeks PhotoHunt. Thank You Jesus!

The name's '@' to you...

Today I saw an off-beat news story about some parents in China that want to name their child '@'. Yes that right, they want to name their kid a symbol. Recently we have had a few people that have named their kids drinks, like 'brandi' and even a fruit like 'apple'. So for this family to want "@" as a name does not surprise me at all. What are we comming to when Chen, Wu, Jiang, Yao, and Song are no longer considered worthy names?

Lance Armstrong Applies Political Pressure

Lance Armstrong's Livestrong foundation is sponsoring several "presidential cancer forums" Monday and Tuesday August 27th & 28th in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in a high profile drive to make cancer research and prevention a priority for the next president. I don't understand why cancer research and prevention is not a national priority given the alarming rate of cancer in American society and I applaud Lance's effort to force the issue. With all our technology and a national effort I firmly believe that a cure can be found and found quickly.
