T-Mobile Offers a Friendly Social Networking Phone
by Chris Padgett on Dec.17, 2011, under Uncategorized
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of LG DoublePlay™ for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
How often do you use a phone for surfing the Net or checking up on your social networking sites? For me, I never have used my cell phone that much. I probably make about 50 calls per month and I send out less text messages than that. On average, I probably send 30 text messages out per month and I probably receive around 100 back. Recently my social networking sites have been helping me with my online business. I am now in the market for a phone; which will help me have more access to the Web and especially to my social networking sites and friends.
A phone from T-Mobile caught my eye. If you want this cell phone, you can only get it from T-Mobile. It is called the LG DoublePlay™ and I really like a lot of things about this phone. It does have a nice camera with it. It is a 5 mega-pixel camera with flash. Plus it can record live video in high definition or HD, so this is another attractive feature on this T-Mobile cell phone. It does come equipped with a full size Qwerty keyboard. I like having all of my typing keys on my phone. Users of the Double Play phone, will have access to the Gingerbread or Android 2.3 and the Android Market. I don’t know much about these things, but I look forward to learning more about them.
Currently I don’t surf the web from my phone or do any social networking. My online business is really growing and the only way I can keep up, is to have a phone, that can connect me to the Net anytime I need it. Especially for my social networking websites, where I do a lot of advertising and speak to my online contacts and business clients. I believe T-Mobile has the best phone, for my social networking desires. How much do you like to use your phone, for the popular social networking websites? Do you use your phone at least one time a day, for surfing or checking up on your emails or social network sites? I will start spending about 2 hours per day on the Internet, with my new phone. Do you think you use your phone for online purposes this much? Or maybe you spend more time than this? About how many hours would you guess? Do you think if you had the LG Double PLay phone, it would help you more each day? Please be sure to let me know, because I am about to start a lot of multi-tasking assignments and I need all the help I can get.
Georgia Bulldogs Head Coaching Job Not Safe After All
by Chris Padgett on Dec.14, 2011, under Favorite Blog
The Georgia Bulldogs will be playing Michigan State in their bowl game this year. Despite what the national sports media says, Mark Richt in Athens, does not have a comfy seat. His 10 game win streak did nothing to change the Bulldog Nation in Georgia. All this Georgia team had to do at the end of the year, was to beat Kentucky to go to the SEC Championship Game. As big as this game was for the Bulldogs, Richt did not bring a well-coach team in for this game. In fact, if not for a crucial turnover in the game, the Wildcats from Kentucky would have went to the halftime locker rooms leading this game. It was a series of field goals for the Georgia Bulldogs and that was their offense for this game. At no time, did this team really run the less talented Wildcats team off the field. This is a perfect example of a football game, in which Mark Richt fails to get his players up for the magnitude of the event. What should have been a blowout game or at least one, where the Bulldogs threw everything (including the kitchen sink) at Kentucky, they really came in with a vanilla game plan.
Then go to the LSU game for the SEC title. Mark Richt coached relaxed and let the boys play. Since there is a lot of talent in Athens, it was clear, the Bulldogs are a much more athletic team than the LSU Tigers. We saw the real Bulldog team in the first half of this game or maybe the first 25 minutes of the game. Once Georgia had a little success in this big southern game at the Georgia Dome; that is when Richt got nervous and begin to play Mark Richt football. He just doesn’t turn his guys loose on Saturdays. He doesn’t trust them. He doesn’t convey to his players the importance of things and how to deal with certain situations, when there is 2 minutes or less left in the half or the game. Mark Richt coaches a “scared game of football” and this is why he has not been able to push the Dawgs all the way to the BCS Championship Game and win it. Let these guys from Athens play, like you did in the first half, with creative play-calling, on-side kicks, and going for it on 4th down and this team can hang with anyone in the Nation. Let them play in the Mark Richt system and you will get blown out. Its been like this for years in Athens and Richt needs to move to another position for this UGA football team.
Don’t forget the first 1st down the LSU Tigers got, was due to Mark Richt telling the referees to enforce the penalty on the Bulldogs team. The referees in the SEC Championship Game had awarded the Bulldogs sideline a timeout. Yet, Richt did not want to lose a timeout in the early part of the 3rd quarter and allowed the Tigers to get their first (or maybe 2nd) first down of the game. There was no need to save this timeot, since the game ended and the Georgia Bulldogs still had a timeout in their back pocket. This did not get mentioned on the National TV Coverage, but the cameras did pick up Mark Richt and you saw him telling the referees, to take the penalty and not award him the timeout. This turned out to be the dumbest call of the game and it was the beginning of the end for the Georgia team in the Georgia Dome that night.
The way he led his team out of the locker room, from the Georgia Dome, for the first game of the year, the horrible play against Kentucky, when an SEC championship appearance was on the line, and his scared play-calling in the 2nd half, with his refusal to take the timeout and give the Tigers a 1st down and 5. It was a long list and combination of things like this in 2011, which has kept Mark Richt on the hotseat.
He admits he never heard anything from the A.D. (athletic director) at Georgia about his job. Now he is caught up in the national media hype that his job is safe and he is now off of the hot seat. FAT CHANCE! Mark Richt is a nice guy, nice coach, and can coach a descent game. He doesn’t have the guts to call games in the SEC or take chances in the toughest division in football. He has recruited well and it would be nice to see him stay in Athens and let him help with the recruits, who want to play in Athens, Georgia. The top freshmen class in the country came in to the Georgia Bulldogs football program in the 2011 season. Another super class of studs have already gave verbals to UGA and it looks like several of the big names this year, are going to be coming to Georgia again. The most talented team in the NCAA next year will be the Georgia Bulldogs. If they want the perfect season, they will need for Richt to step down, take away Mike Bobo from the offensive play-calling, or change the current situation in Athens; which has been in place for a long time now.
Good luck to the Dawgs in their bowl game this year against Michigan State. These two teams will match up in the Outback Bowl. It should be a fun game for the Georgia team, since they did get an easy opponent. Here goes my prediction for the game below and congrats to the Crimson Tide and Tigers for representing the SEC in the Big Game this year.
Georgia – 44
Michigan State – 9
*I pick the Bulldogs in the Outback Bowl and they should win by 35 points or more
Using Search Engines Online for Help
by Chris Padgett on Nov.21, 2011, under Blogging
You woke up this morning and you decided you wanted to go on a diet. You have no idea on what to do first, but you know you must start a new diet today. How would you approach a situation like this? Have you ever thought about using a search engine online for help? You know, one like Google, Yahoo, or one of my favorites Dogpile.
Start off by typing in keywords that relate to the subject matter. In this case, we are looking for a new diet. We can search for things like:
*popular diet plans
*diets that really work
*best diets
*top diet plans
*highest rated fat burners
For my search now, I will try “highest rated fat burners“. The first two results I get, don’t really relate to what I was looking for. The third listing in the search engine has a diet product called african mango. This would be a product I would want to read more about. I can save or bookmark this page now and continue looking for other search engine results, or just see if this African Mango Fat Burner would be the answer for my new diet plan. Either way, I will have a lot of options and there is a ton of information online, when it comes to best diet pills or popular diets.
I have heard to start eating more is the best way to lose weight. No, I am being serious! Instead of 3 square meals a day, you could benefit by eating 4 to 6 smaller meals. By eating a lot of times each day, you keep your metabolism going. So the trick here is to keep your metabolic rate high; while eating smaller portions. You could use a search engine, to find new diet recipes or search online for “low calorie foods and snacks”
I think the World is a better place now and a lot of credit goes to the search engines. They are our maps for the World Wide Web. We would never find nothing without them. If you don’t often think to use them, then start changing your thought process. Finding new recipes for a food you like or searching for diet tips online is just the tip of the iceberg. We can learn a lot more online; than we could with our encyclopedia collection; which is just collecting dust now.
Moving to Philly
by Chris Padgett on Nov.01, 2011, under Blogging
Guest post written by Joseph Finch
When we moved to Philly last year, I spent my first few months staying at home and watching Philadelphia Direct tv. I was having a really hard time finding a job and was getting really discouraged. I moved at a weird time during the year. I am a teacher and I know that most teaching positions don’t come up until the summer, but I couldn’t even find a job being a substitute for the first few months. I applied everywhere. I even applied to work at a local department store. After taking an on-line personality assessment, I immediately got an e-mail that said that they were pursing other applicants. How discouraging! Luckily, about three months later, I got a call from a local school. One of their teachers was going on maternity leave and they needed a long-time fill-in. Now, I am so happy where I am. I am teaching science to middle-schoolers. Everyday is exciting and something new. I like Philly much better now than I did when I first got here.
Crafting some vegan fudge for Halloween
by Chris Padgett on Oct.28, 2011, under Home Finance
Guest post written by Beverly Fox
Going vegan a few years ago was a really tough personal decision for me to make, but I’ve decided that I’m not going to look back. Although, Halloween can be a little tough for me because I have such a sweet tooth and I just can’t go and grab just any kind of Halloween candy off the shelves now like I used to do before. Now I just have to be a little more creative and make the non-vegan treats myself.
I love to use my wireless internet Honolulu to search for different vegan recipes that I can fix. There are so many recipes out there too, so I’m never at a loss as to what I should fix.
Even though I normally think of fudge as a Christmas treat, I decided to make some vegan fudge for Halloween. I mean, when isn’t there a good time to eat fudge? To me, it’s always a great time. I shared it with my roommates too, who aren’t vegans, and they said that they thought it tasted like regular fudge! What a vegan success!
Join the Zacapa Premium Rum Society Today Online
by Chris Padgett on Sep.27, 2011, under Uncategorized
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Diageo. All opinions are 100% mine.
The beverages most of us drink today, all have a great story behind them. This is true with soft drinks and alcoholic beverages too. One story you may have never heard about, comes from the Zacapa premium rum label.
Back in 1976, a tiny town in Central America was celebrating 100 years of life. It was during this time, when all of the right things came together, for a great-tasting rum. Several key factors played a part in this unique brew, like the local ingredients and geography of the area. In Guatemala there is a town called Zacapa and it was here, where this special-tasting rum came to be, in the late 1970′s.
This premium dark rum would later share its name with the town and be called Zacapa. From the acidic soils, to the local sugar cane growing abundantly all around here. Made everything come together in the ageing house; which is one of the highest in the whole world. This high elevation and all of the local ingredients around, made a unique tasting rum. Along with a lot of casks and an American Whiskey or two.
To learn more about this, please search for more information online.To join the Zacapa Society, simply register your interest at http://bit.ly/pvKdC9
It’s a great story to know the process this rum takes. Check it out further, by taking part in the society online.
Closet shuffle to find rush week outfits
by Chris Padgett on Sep.01, 2011, under Blogging
Guest post written by Breanne Murphy
I’m always finding pieces of clothing in my closet that I thought were lost or I had gotten rid of. Well, I recently had to down size my wardrobe a bit when I moved into a dorm room for freshman year of college, but I have some creative storage solutions for a lot of my things. Right now though, I’m worried about finding some good rush week outfits from my extensive wardrobe.
But I needed some guidance on what to expect to wear to an event like this. While I was looking online I found some info on internet packages, decided to Click HERE and forwarded the info to my parents. They’ve wanted to change over their service for a while anyway.
I think that i have a few options picked out already. I basically live in dresses. The best thing about them is that they’re an outfit by themselves so you have to do less planning to look really pulled together! Now I just have to worry about how exactly I’m going to accessorize my dresses.
Easy Way to Hire Cheap Construction Help
by Chris Padgett on Aug.06, 2011, under Home Finance
Is there a such thing as cheap construction help?
Well that might be debatable, but I do know how you can the lowest construction offers possible. Currently online there is a website called Hire-a-Pro.com and I really like how this website is set up. First the home owners or someone like your self will come online and post a job you need done around the house. You can post a financial range of money on the amount you’re willing to pay. Then you will have construction workers, professionals, and every skilled worker capable of doing the job, bidding on your work services. All you have to do is sit back and let the offers roll-in. Once you find a bid; which is in the range of your financial budget, you can hire the person or company for the job. I believe an online service like this, is the way of the future for all home owners.
Those landlords out there who overlook several homes or apartments will find value in a service like this. They now have the opportunity to post jobs online for gardeners, roofers, plumbers, electricians, swimming pool cleaners, and others who work in the construction job industry. This will make it easy on them for finding the lowest bids; for the new jobs they have available. Keeping the tenants happy, is not always an easy thing to do. The task should be a little easier now, with a great online job service like Hire-a-Pro.com around. They connect home owners and landlords alike, with a wide range of professional workers.
A Trip West

Guest post written by Bob Thornton
So my wife and I have been doing a lot of work inside the house lately, and we’ve been cleaning up and getting ready for the spring. Yep, that’s spring cleaning started early, and we have felt good for doing it! We are looking sooo forward to warmer weather here in South Carolina, and we can tell that it won’t be long until it gets here. While cleaning up the house, my wife and I discussed the possibility of taking a vacation after we get the place clean. I am all in for this idea. I think it would be a great way to say goodbye to winter and hello to spring after spending all this time indoors!
The sears cabinet refacing South Carolina crew is coming next week to fix up the kitchen, but after that would be a golden opportunity. After talking to my wife, I think we are probably going to California. She loves beaches, and she’s always wanted to see the beaches of the Golden Coast. I love the water too, and I think it would be great. I’m sure we’ll see a lot of the touristy spots, too, without a doubt.
How To Make 1 Million Dollars
by Chris Padgett on Jul.01, 2011, under Finance
The time has come for a lot more people to have a million dollars in this world. It wasn’t that long ago when just a few people around the world had this much money. Now as time has moved us forward, the almighty dollar has gotten weaker and weaker and owning a million really isn’t that difficult. Even with that said, most people will never make a million dollars in their lifetime. Just figure up your current salary per year and go back to the age of 18. From 18 years old to 65 years old, most people will not make a million dollars in this life span. But I figured out a true and honest way to make 1 million dollars and anyone can do this. I won’t go down a long list of things and tell you all the things this program ISN”T; like so many other online programs choose to do. I will speak directly and straight to the point on how you and your family can own a million dollars. How long will it take? Well that is totally up to you! I can tell you, if you are 18 years old right now, most people will have their 1 million dollars, before they turn age 65. I hope that is a little comfort to you. Since most of you are probably closer to 65 than 18 years old, I know speed is important. To earn this much money by 65 years old, just be willing to spend more time on it; than the average person will be doing. If you’re 65 years or older right now and seek a higher income. Well you can do this simple-to-understand program too! You may fall short of 1 million dollars, but you could still make several hundred thousand dollars and I’m sure that is music to most of the “elderly” ears out there.
OK, enough talk. To avoid being like all the other programs that beat around the bush, let’s dive right into this. You may have had this million dollar conversation before. Did someone ever tell you making a million dollars is easy? They say that line and follow with “just find a way to make a buck and do it a million times“. Well if you have heard that before, that is the whole “trick” or “gimmick” to this real life million dollar plan! It’s true! Just find one way to make one dollar and then repeat the process 1 million times and you have your million bucks! Isn’t that easy? Well figuring out how to make that first dollar can be hard for some people. Others who know how to make the first dollar, don’t have a way to multiply it 1 million times. I understand this and I thought it over long and hard. I must be completely honest with each and every one of you out there right now; who is reading this blog post. The first one dollar is easy, but finding a way to duplicate the process one million times is where the work comes into play. I never said this was an easy way or an overnight way to 1 million dollars. If I did, I would be pulling your leg, like every other money making program already does on the World Wide Web. We will have to work, but the good news, you are not alone. I will be here and others will come in with other new and bright ideas, as we all make this journey together. What happens if we fail? Well if we only make it half way to our goal, we still all come away with 500,000 dollars each and that isn’t too bad is it? Most programs you fail with and you take a negative loss to the financial side of things. With my honest and real way to 1 million dollars, ever the failures that use my system will still be in the profit! It’s true! Why? Because with my system your investment is only 1 dollar. If you fail with my product 100% and never get your dollar back, you could be in the hole 1 dollar. If you have a few friends, a neighbor, some family members, or co-workers; then I’m pretty sure you won’t be one of the ones to make minus -1 dollar. No, you will profit and you will profit over and over again with my system. Don’t worry! You don’t have to talk this over with family members, people at your church, your co-workers, or strike up any financial conversations at the annual family reunion. My system is mainly based online. I plan to make 1 million dollars online and never ask any of my close friends or family members for the first red cent. Again, like other online programs that want you to only get 2, 3, or 5 of your closest friends and family members to join. After you get your share; then they have to go out and get their own close friends and family members.So let’s get to the first part of my 1 million dollar plan.
HOW TO MAKE THAT FIRST $1?
All you need to do is buy my professional-looking money page. Instead of going out and creating your own, I already have one made up. It costs only $1 to get and that’s it! Once you pay me $1 for this page; then you can take it out and show it all over the Net and begin to make your one dollar bills. Are you with me so far? This is how each and everyone of us is going to make 1 million dollars!
IS THERE ENOUGH PEOPLE ONLINE FOR US ALL TO MAKE 1 MILLION DOLLARS?
Yes! The latest numbers I saw for people being online was something like 880 million people. So mathematically or technically speaking, it would be possible for about 880 of us to go out and make that million dollars today. Realistically you and I combined will never have a 1 million dollar day in this program. We won’t make a million in 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, or even 1 year. The truth is, it will take us some time to get our 1 million dollars. For those who get tired on the journey or give up, all of these folks will have lost nothing and there will be a financial profit there; to have paid for all the time and energy you invested in this 1 million dollar online program. But each day there are hundreds, if not thousands, of new people coming online for the first time. We will never run out of an audience online. We will never fall short of finding people who want to make a million dollars. This is not a pyramid scheme or ponzi scheme like so many like to point out. We all make the same profit on the exact same million dollar page. We never get a raise or the value of the page never increases or decreases. This 1 million dollar page will remain $1 always and forever!
All you need to get started today is one simple dollar! To send this dollar online, you will need an Alert Pay account. This is just like PayPal and it works the same way. Join Alert Pay for free and add the one dollar to your account. If you are anxious to get started; then simply just add a credit card to your Alert Pay account and send the money by CC to my Alert Pay account. You will be able to do all of this from the one million dollar page. And once you get your own page, with your own referral information and an ID number on your one million dollar page; then you will be all set to market your page online.
HOW TO PUT OUR 1 MILLION DOLLAR PAGE IN FRONT OF 1 MILLION PEOPLE?
This is where the work and time comes in. This is the most important step to this real and honest way to make 1 million dollars online. You will need to advertise on a lot of different websites, blogs, message boards, newsgroups, social media sites, and any where else you can stick your own personal 1 million dollar referral page. Everyone can do this marketing online, without ever having to spend any real money! You can advertise on PTC sites for free and traffic exchanges for free! The way you do this, is by joining these free advertising websites and spending time on them clicking ads for real money or surfing pages to earn credits. Each new website you join for free could be putting you 10, 50, 100, 1000, or even 10,000 dollars closer to your million dollar goal. The good news for you and me is that the Internet is totally free for small time advertisers and small business organizations to use. There is over 1 million websites and places online that you can advertise for absolutely no cost! If each site you joined, only produced 1 new dollar bill for you, then it would still be possible to achieve the 1 million dollar dream. Obviously we will have better luck than this on some websites and as we go toward our goal, we will learn which sites offer the best return on new sign ups and time spent there.
To advertise on PTC or paid to click sites, you will need to join a few of them online and start a daily routine by clicking at each of them daily. This way, you are building up cash in your account and later on, you can use this account cash to buy online advertising. The PTC sites offer unique views and you will get your highest success of sign ups at these types of sites; when comparing them to the free traffic exchanges online. So the best place online to start is with the PTC sites. I will list a few links below and after you join a couple of them, you will find other PTC sites you can sign up for free with and create your own arsenal of PTC websites. Here is a few to help you get started:
For traffic exchanges, you will find a lot of these free online to join. Most of them will let you advertise several different websites on each one of them. You may want to advertise some of your other free traffic exchanges and cross promote them with each other. Especially the free traffic exchanges that offer you free credits for each of the pages your referrals surf. I will give you a few examples of some free exchanges you can join. Once you sign up with a couple of mine, you will see other pages in rotation for more free traffic exchanges you can join, so you can create your own personal arsenal of traffic exchanges too (just like you did with the PTC sites). Here is a few to help you get started:
I will try to update more places you can advertise for free online later on. This should be enough to keep you busy and get you off to a profitable start online. Please let me know if you have any questions and I will try to answer them as fast as possible. Good Luck!

Road Tripping for the Holidays
by Chris Padgett on Feb.12, 2011, under Favorite Blog
Guest post written by Jamison Langley
This Christmas, my mom and I have decided to do something a little different to celebrate together. We’ve always talked about taking a roadtrip all the way from the east coast (where we live in Virginia) to California, where we’ve both always wanted to visit. This year, now that I’ve actually gotten a week and a half off of work? We’re doing it.
The plan is to rent a car (so we don’t put all those miles on the one we have) and drive the whole way. We’re going to stop in different states, depending on how far we get that day, and camp overnight. We have no set schedule for when to arrive where, since camp sites don’t require it, so we’re hoping to just go wherever things take us. We definitely want to sight-see along the way! I’m thinking once I get back, I’ll even start up my own site about the journey, once I check out domains. It will surely be a holiday trip that neither of us will ever forget!
Traveling to Malta for a Vacation
by Chris Padgett on Feb.02, 2011, under Blogging
A week long vacation or just a weekend getaway is something we all need from time to time. For those living in Europe, the tiny island nation of Malta provides a perfect travel destination. The Malta villa rentals provide a place to stay for travelers and they are affordable. I was looking online at a holiday rentals website for the UK. It showed a lot of lovely spots in Malta and gave plenty of details, on how to reserve one of these villa rentals for a vacation.
Maltese is one of the official languages for Malta. Luckily for English visitors there are two official languages in this small country. The other official language is English. So most English-speaking travelers should have no problems, navigating their way around in Malta. Just knowing they speak English here, makes me feel a lot better about traveling to Malta. I could even book my own holiday accommodation, without needing an interpreter or an online translator. English isn’t just my best language, but its really my only language. If your tongue has the same problem as mine, with foreign communication, you could also relax, knowing this island country speaks English too.
You know the waters will be beautiful and there will be a lot of great views, since visitors to Malta will be on an island. I have never been on an island like this, but would love for Malta to be my first island trip. The warm sun and the smells of salt water air, is I how I imagine a vacation in Malta. I hope someday I can travel in Malta and see all the different lodging areas for tourists or visit all the best Malta restaurants. I always like to eat while on vacation. I enjoy going to eat at places that I have never been to before. I’m sure with Malta being such a big tourist attraction in Europe, I could find all sorts of good restaurants there.
The Maltese Islands do provide a wealth of history. If you like to study history and see how life was like a long time ago, you can get a lot of that rich history in Malta. The 2nd largest island is called Gozo. There are less people on this island and it is more rural. I would enjoy making a visit to Gozo, so I could do some deep sea fishing and get away from the large crowds of tourists, who would mainly be on the big island of Malta. This is another selling point to tourists, who might be thinking of a weekend getaway or spending the whole week on these beautiful European Islands.
Auburn Proves for a 5th Time in a Row Who Has the Best Teams
by Chris Padgett on Jan.11, 2011, under Blogging
The SEC Football Conference in college football has won 5 National Titles in a row. If they will let a team from the South play in the big game, you know which school will win. It’s hard to get an accurate gauge on college football. We are led to believe the Pac 10 college football teams are just as good as the ACC and SEC teams. The Pac 10 is not even a close comparison to the size and the speed of the typical football players, who get brought up in a southern atmosphere.
The number 1 offensive team in college football was the Oregon Ducks. They blew away every team they played this year, with the exception of a road game in the California Golden Bears football stadium. The Ducks only managed to put up 15 points in that close contest, but they still won the game, since the Bears could only score 13 points against the Oregon defense. After looking at this game, your next lowest scoring game by the Ducks was 37 points! This was also a road game, so their low scoring games are happening at their opponents football stadiums. Continuing with this same pattern, the next lowest scoring games for the Oregon Ducks would be 42 points at Arizona State, 43 points at Washington State, and 48 points at Tennessee. Their lowest scoring home game would be another 48 point performance and this would come against the 20th ranked team in the country in the Arizona Wildcats. Everything else would be 53 points or more from this Pac 10 school. I mean really! How can a team have 1 football game where they put up 15 points and then can manage to put up 37 or more points against the rest of their division 1 college football school.
Some of these schools are considered big name schools, like the USC Trojans, UCLA Bruins, Stanford Cardinal, and the Wildcats and Sun Devils from the state of Arizona. Even had one big game against the SEC and beat the Volunteers on their own orange turf. There was little doubts about who the number 1 team in football was offensively. I’m just wondering if money played a role in any of these huge margins of victory.
Two things puzzle me about the USC Trojans as it relates to the Oregon football program. The first thing, was the fact USC was not a ranked team. They had lost two games in a row and was well off the top 25 charts. After their 2 back to back loses, they did manage to beat a descent California Bears team from the Pac 10, but this victory was not enough to put the Trojans in the top 25 teams in the country. After their win against the Golden Bears, the rankings came out and did not have USC listed. USC goes into their bye week and will have 2 weeks to prepare against the top offensive Pac 10 team in the Oregon Ducks. Now the first strange thing happens and suddenly after their bye week, the Trojans from Southern California appear as the 24th team in the nation. There is actually a reason why this happened and its been doing it constantly over the last 10 years or so. The Trojans must have a strong football conference, so they can beat these easy teams and get a free ride to the Rose Bowl or a BCS Title Game. Obviously their hopes for a national title was gone, by the time Oregon appeared on their schedule, but it wasn’t for the Ducks. They were actually the top team in the land and sort of surprising, when you see the weak teams they played in their first 7 games of the season.
Auburn was playing ranked teams and half of the first 8 teams were ranked and just about all of them was a .500 opponent or better. While Oregon had a win over 1 ranked team and had beaten 4 teams that had won 2 games or less for the entire season this year. Now we start to learn why USC mysteriously appeared as the number 24th team in the country, after coming off a bye week. USC was going to be another opponent for Oregon, who was not ranked and it was going to be another Pac 10 team. The power, money, and rich political men and women who control the landscape of college football from their homes in Southern California, allowed USC to be number 24 in the polls, so the Pac 10 would save face and it would be another step to keep Oregon in 1st place; while the Auburn Tigers was not even being recognized as the 2nd best team in the country. This honor was being given to Boise State. Another west coast team who isn’t really playing any of the big teams of college football.
On Sunday, October 31st we can view the 10th week of the college football rankings from the AP Top 25 Poll.
1. Oregon with 49 of the 1st Place Votes out of a possible 60. They just came off beating the 24th ranked USC Trojans and their only other ranked opponent was the #9 Stanford Cardinal . Their record is 8 – 0.
2. Boise State with 7 of the 1st Place Votes out of a possible 60. (More the 3X the first place votes Auburn has at this point). They have only played 7 games compared to the 8 Oregon has played in. They have only had two ranked opponents, the same as Oregon and they beat #10 Virginia Tech by 3 points and #24 Oregon State. Which Oregon State is from the Pac 10 and its very interesting they we at number 24 when they played Boise State. They began the season at number 24 and lost by 9 points to the #6 TCU football team. This defeat knocked them down to 25 and still ranked. After beating unranked Louisville team by only 7 points and allowing Louisville to score 28 points against the, they went from 25 back to number 24, so Boise State would have a 2nd opponent in the AP Poll Top 25.
3. Auburn with only 2 first place votes out of a possible 60. They have played in 9 games and won them all. Oregon has 47 more first place votes and has only played in 8 games? Boise State has played in 2 fewer games at this point, and still manges to get more than 3x the first place votes? It so clear right here that these AP first place votes does not want another SEC team in the championship game. If the season was to end right here, it would be Boise State and Oregon for the Championship Game, even though Auburn has won 1 more game than Oregon and 2 more games than Boise State. I wonder how many ranked games Auburn has played in at this point? They have beat 3 ranked teams and they are #6 LSU, #12 South Carolina, and #12 Arkansas. Oregon and Boise State has only played against 2 ranked opponents and each team has a victory over the number 24 team in the country and in both cases, there is suspicious activity going on with these two #24 teams from the Pac 10. This makes zero sense!!! Auburn has played more games, more ranked opponents, and even higher ranked teams and yet they are losing the first place votes by a 7 to 2 margin with Boise State and a ridiculous 49 to 2 margin with Oregon? Why did we not see the rankings get properly adjusted on Halloween Day (October 31st, Sunday) in 2010?
Boise State and Oregon does not have any credentials to give them a more favorable ranking at this point in the season. No matter which angle you look at it from, the Auburn Tigers is being given the short end of the stick. They have played more games, against more ranked opponents, they played higher ranked opponents, and yet the Pac 10 needs protection against the strong southern teams from the SEC Football Conference.
Auburn’s last undefeated season got no respect. USC should have n not been number 1 that year. And the people with all the power and money, knew USC would have a much better shot of beating Texas; as to getting a win over QB Jason Campbell (NFL Starting QB), Ronnie Brown (NFL Starting RB), and Carnell “Cadillac”Williams (NFL Starting RB). Oh wait, let’s not forget the USC Trojans had Matt Leniert (Not a NFL Starting QB)!
Sure, we can look at the final score of the Fiesta Bowl in Arizona and say justice got served tonight. But really it didn’t, even the strange play calling of Auburn’s offensive plays in the 2nd half, leads one to scratch their heads. Why did the 2010 Auburn college football champions from Alabama begin taking time off the clock in a one possession game? When getting another score up on the board would have been much faster to achieve and put the odds much more in your favor.
Then we have the mysterious play at the end of the game, where the Auburn running back is just trying to keep the ball in the middle of the field for a FG attempt, but then suddenly breaks it out to the half yard line. There is 10 seconds left to go in the National College Football Game to determine a first place, overall winner in the entire country and the head coach for Auburn sends out the field goal team? Luckily the other school Oregon tried to ice the kicker and called a timeout, so Auburn could have more time to come up with something on this very important, championship deciding decision.
It finally appears the head coach for the Tigers is now on board with the idea of scoring a TD in this critical situation, instead of leaving it up to just 1 kick for the win in regulation. However, this news was just falsely reported by ESPN’s college football announcers Kirk Herbstreet and Brent Musburger, as Auburn’s head coach would only run a time-designed play for QB Cam Newton to just run the ball back to the line of scrimmage on the half yard line and allow the clock to go from 10 seconds down to 2 seconds and Auburn would call its own timeout. So with 2 seconds the place kicker for the Tigers goes out and boots the ball as straight as an arrow and actually didn’t split the up-rights, and sent the ball within 8 feet of the goal post bar going up. A lot of 2nd guessing will be played out on talk radio shows all over the country today, to determine if Auburn’s head coach made the right call or not.
It’s clear to me, that even an average football fan, could make the determination to at least call 1 play from scrimmage and hope your guy can run it in or bounce it in somehow across the goal line for a 6 point lead with less than 10 seconds on the clock. Auburn did have another timeout too, so it was possible, for them to actually run 2 offensive plays from the half yard line and if both attempts failed, you would have time left on the clock to still kick a game=ending field goal. The coach for Auburn made very poor decisions and he allowed options to be taken away from him and his football team and you can’t even give the other team credit for it either. Sometimes your opponent can take away your options to win a close game at the end, but in this case, Auburn’s 2nd year head coach made several huge mistakes in the biggest game of his life and on the biggest stage there is in college football.
Overall, we have a corrupt system in college football that is led by the USC Trojans football people. They control the polls and the rankings around the country and use them in ways to best benefit the Southern California football team or will use them to prop up other Pac 10 teams in USC’s football conference. When each team from the Pac 10 gets a little favor here and a little favor there, it leads to controversy all over the country and no one on TV is ever smart enough, to figure out these false readings are all coming from the Pac 10. It doesn’t seem like it is doing much harm when you boost a Pac 10 team here and there, but eventually it adds up and you see what the final product is, when you have a Pac 10 football team facing a SEC football team.
These two teams tonight was like watching a NFL team on Sunday afternoon (Auburn Tigers) and a high school football team on Friday night (Oregon Ducks). It was truly a David and Goliath portfolio going on out there today. Auburn was so much bigger, faster, stronger, and just filled out their football uniforms better overall. While the tiny men from a Duck Pond in Oregon some where, just didn’t fit the part of a division I school. Their opponents from the Pac 10, the USC Trojans, do get a national recruiting base and manage to find some division I prospects with division I talents for their team. They look fine against the other big football teams in NCAA Football. You see what happens when the Men from Troy fail to win their easy Pac 10 and non-conference schedules. You get another team from the Pac10 that is forced into action against a worthy opponent (in most cases) and they will not be able to perform, like they did against other Pac 10 competition.
I saw it, you saw it, and every football fan from every football conference in America saw instantly the huge advantages of size and talent the Auburn team had, compared to the brightly colored socks; which were worn by a NCAA school that would have been more at home, in a division II setting.
Clearly Auburn could do whatever they wanted to on the field tonight and it was just a bad coach for them and his desire to run time off the clock too soon, is what would make the final score look respectable. But everyone who saw this game tonight, saw the Tigers making all the standard NCAA Division I plays and the big hits on the defensive side of the ball. While the 2010 Oregon Ducks Championship Team had a handful of big plays, they scored 4 points off two point conversions, or they would have ended up with another 15 point performance, like they did against California earlier in the year.
Please clean up the Pac 10 and the USC football program. The landscape of college football would be so much better and fair to all, if the Pac 10 just would cease to exist.
Congratulations to the team from the SEC and the ones who live down there in Southern Alabama! It was a great year and even as you guys are enjoying the victory ride back home tonight, you guys still played 1 more game than the Oregon Ducks did! Tigers you are the 2010 SEC Champions plus 2011 BCS Champs and I am proud you overcame a corrupt college football system and a poor head coach to win the title for the state of Alabama for a 2nd straight year. The Crimson Tide brought the trophy to Sweet Home Alabama in 2010 and now the Auburn Tigers, who were led by College Park, Georgia’s Cam Newton is the 2011 NCAA Champions of Division I College Football!!! WTG men and I look forward to seeing a couple of you play on Sundays, next year in the National Football League! Auburn Tigers # 1

Happy Thanksgiving Google Team
by Chris Padgett on Nov.25, 2010, under Marketing
Wow! The 2010 year is just flying by and now the holidays are in full-force in the USA. Even if you don’t live in the USA or celebrate the American holidays, you can still take advantage of some big time earnings this holiday season. I am very proud to be associated with the Google Ranked Us surfing team online. A team of online marketers who strive daily to be the best they can be. Our unique patent of building surfing teams and building a winning team in traffic exchanges and money-making programs continues to be effective. As the team leader has to battle with a few offline issues, so has the other members, who had no direct ties to the team leader’s offline issues. I hope most of them are now resolved and a stiff upward swing is in our short term horizons. Now on to the Thanksgiving festivities!
The U.S. holiday of Thanksgiving is traditionally known as a day of eating and watching American football. While the food and sports seem to steal the show every Thanksgiving holiday on this late Thursday in November, this special day is also a reflection time. A day to just stop and take a deep breath and be thankful for all the things we have and not sad for all the things we haven’t got.
I have a lot of things to be thankful for and could never show my appreciation for each and every thing I am blessed with in life. It would take more than a day to cover all the friends and family I am lucky to have in my life. If I did make an attempt to name these things, I would have to put the Google Team at the top of the list. Our competitive nature to show up at Trafficera each day is just half of the battle. My online family is constantly in a rating game and gets evaluated on their online activity with the team, by surfing, finding clocks, and finding the best ways to generate PV (personal value) to their Trafficera statistics. Not only has the Google Team Members found ways to achieve this on a daily basis, but they have brought a lot more to the marketing table, than just their ability to be active online. The conversation each member brings daily, the friendship and willing to help fellow teammates daily, and the amount of manners this special group of Google Team members have in their arsenal, are all things that I didn’t expect or ever demanded. Seeing all of this naturally come together and the way it has unfolded over the past year, really gives you a since of warmth and heart-felt emotions. If someone else on the team can stop what they’re doing to help someone else online; then why can’t we all do this? For the most part, we have!
Other teams at Trafficera have promoted their friendship on their sleeve or in their team pages for attracting new members. They make bold claims of having a group of people in their teams,who understand friendship comes first and the team’s success comes 2nd on the plate. The Google Team has never put friendship first and it has always been a number games with us. There are a lot of places online you can go to make friends and build an online friendship if that is what you’re looking for. The Traffic Era traffic exchange created by Logiscape Technologies was never designed for a friendship building tool. It does combine an effective social networking system with the TE functions and allows members to gain business contacts online. These people you come to build bonds with, through your online marketing efforts, do have the potential to become friends.
The Google Teamhas always recognized the fact, people join Traficera, in the hopes they can promote or spread the word about an online interest of theirs. In 98% of the cases, it is money making opportunities that led us to this growing traffic exchange. It makes no sense to us, why someone would join a social environment like this, which is geared to making more money online and desperately wanting to attach the “friendship” label to their screen name or to their team’s name. We at Google offer no friendship, no joint efforts in signing up for new programs, or courtesy in chat toward fellow members. We don’t promote our friendship, we don’t offer our friendship to strangers, and we don’t offer a hand out to anyone online, who has priorities that are different from our online marketing and team goals. Any friendships that happen on Google Ranked Us is by accident and no time has been wasted in trying to pursue friendships and common courtesy to those who are strangers to our online marketing team.
X-Raying The Google Cheers and Friendship
However, while we never orchestrated or created ways to become better friends, we have ultimately become the best of online friends. The bond our team holds at the core is 2nd to none. The fact we didn’t advertise friendship and tried to relay false information to others, that there were other things more important than the team, our daily efforts, or the positive results we get or don’t get on any given day. Our team understands your home life and your real family which shares the same roof in your household is more important and comes before our Google team. For some reason, if teams don’t publicly say this or relay this message to others on the team and outside of the team, you become known as someone greedy and doesn’t care. We don’t have to make statements in chat that our real life families come first. Here at Google, we understand family and a lot more things without having to say it or repeat it constantly.
The good news is that the decision is all yours. You’re free to come and go in any manner that you like. If you are currently looking for a new team at Trafficera to join and want a dedicate group of marketing soldiers who will go to the front lines of war with you each day, then you need to join the 001 Google Ranked Us team. Our team will waste no effort in promoting our friendship or our love for one another. We all met online with the intentions of forming an effective marketing team online. To be a member on our team, you have to realize the mouse is a better online weapon than the keyboard. Speaking the English language or putting any amount of energy into typing words in chat is not important, not required, and not needed at Google. Your mouse clicking numbers and surfing as many pages each day as possible, is what counts first on our team. Our team will have success now and going forward into the future, because we realize this.
The Google Ranked Us team features no rules, no surf minimums, no other team related programs are not necessary to join, to become a Google member. Your mouse clicking and finding clocks is all we want from you. We don’t spend time making rules about our team chat. Other teams want to limit or ban you from posting referral links in the team chat. These same teams that promote their friendship on their sleeves, are really not that friendly at all, when it comes to posting your favorite online programs in chat and following it up with a direct referral link. Our team focuses on Google Money and not Google Team Rules!
The Google Team understands you are online to spread the word about a specific program. Posting your referral link in the team chat, is a great way to show fellow members why you are here, what your program can offer them, and allows interested parties to ask you direct questions, which you can respond with direct answers. Our ability to avoid other team’s flaws, is what gives us the edge in the Trafficera arena and in the other arenas that go outside the walls of Trafficera.
The useless statements and words that are really not supported with actions is what most Trafficera teams offer their members. They can say all they want about friendships being important and how their close-knit members makes things fun and different from other teams. These friendship teams never fail to surprise me, when they offer their friendship to complete strangers and then follow it up with a few surfing rules and what they can or can’t do in team chat.
The Google Ranked Us team is the only Trafficera team without a true team leader. No one is in charge of this team and it belongs equally to all 15, 18, 21, 25, or ever how many members is on the team at any given time. We add and remove more team players than any other team here at Traffic Era. Due to the fact, anyone can join our team. We don’t go around studying the numbers of other members and try to determine if they are active or not active. If they have an upgrade or if they are a silver member. If they show their referral page for extra PV points or not. If they speak in chat or if they don’t. Joining our team just requires a mouse that works properly. Every single day, we want you to prove your mouse is in tip top shape. We will judge you on the condition of your mouse and we want you to prove to us, that it works every single day. Those who fail to show us their computer mouses work and really work good each day, will be replaced by others who have a properly working mouse.
I have a lot to be thankful for today and without a shadow of a doubt, its the Google Ranked Us Team I am most thankful for. While we do have one turkey on the team that runs around constantly and wants to prove her keyboard works as much as her mouse, I would regret talking about this awesome surfing team, without giving her due credit for her tremendous, daily dedication, energy, and positive attitude she brings to the Traffic Era workshop each and every day. Above is the picture of our top bird and the face of the Google Surfing team. Her online name is Divaneh and she is just one of the great people you want to speak to daily and want to be friends with online. She is just one of many, on this team I consider friends and would be willing to go that extra mile for, because of the friendship and courtesy they show to everyone they meet online. By no means am I a top bird and I am often just a middle bird and if the middle finger and bird rings a bell in your head; then more than likely that is a more appropriate relation to me, than the other high flying birds on this team!
Now that Thanksgiving is here, we can officially put up the “Now Open” sign in our team window and let every marketer online, know that Google is now open for holiday business! If you like new and unique experiences and want a group of people that will talk direct numbers with you from sun up to sun down; then come by and see what our team is cooking up for the holidays. The 2010 year is almost gone and will be permanently recorded in the books soon. The 2011 year promises to be the best ever, as Google makes another move to separate their online marketing efforts away from every other team at Trafficera and online. Our direct approach and staying on the hottest traffic and money trails will continue to be the fire in our engines that puts the earnings in our Pay Pal and Alert Pay accounts. It’s all up to you! Go join the team of strangers who want to make you their new best friend or come to the team that can only offer Pay Pal and Alert Pay credits.
