The best advice you can get before starting any business is knowing what you’re getting into. That means doing your homework from the biggest to the smallest things that revolve around your business. You will want to do a lot of market research about the specific industry you’re about to make the plunge into. No matter how much you think you know now, there is always something else to learn. If you know your skill or trade well, be sure to brush up on other sectors of your business that you might not be as comfortable with. Your rent costs, taxes, or local laws are things you need to really look into before you start up a new business. In some cases you might can save your self a lot of money, or you might avoid breaking a law that you might not be aware of. Try to know your business from the inside out and don’t rely on other people to do these things for you. It can be helpful to have an accountant on board to pay the employees and keep up with your taxes, but try to find ways where you can assist your accountant and see if there’s something you can help them with. If you take the time to learn a lot of these things before you start your business, it will save you a lot of growing pains and you can get in the profits much faster.
Old man winter is starting to show his head and I have woke up to some chilly mornings already. Its time to put away the summer clothes and get the long-sleeve shirts out and maybe look around for the jackets and go buy you some volcom clothing. I’m not a fan of winter or the colder days ahead, but I do like it when it snows. If its going to be cold, I better see some of the white stuff flying around. We don’t get much snow here in Georgia, so anytime it snows here it’s a big deal. We haven’t had any big snows in recent years and I really wish I could bundle up in a lot of clothes and go out and play in the snow. I remember having to put on several layers of clothes, so you could stay warm and enjoy the snow all day long. It’s not been like that lately, so I have forgotten all the good and bad things that snow brings. I don’t like losing our power during those winter storms, but if we can keep our power on and drive the roads safely, it can snow 10 feet for all I care. However, it only takes the predictions of flurries here to have all the milk and loaf bread racing off the shelves. So I will get out my winter clothes for this winter, but I doubt I will be playing in the snow anytime soon.
If you like your money, you might want to start ordering all your pizzas by the telephone. I can tell you a few good reasons why you don’t want to order that pizza online and have it delivered to you. I know it’s easier to order it online, but you’re going to pay if you do it that way. Most pizza places don’t have the best people answering their phones and if you ask about discounts, you can usually find them. The person taking your order on the phone will have to put in the price of your order manually and you can save money by doing this.
I just saw a commercial for Pizza Hut. Right now you can get a 1 topping stuffed crust pizza for $10.99. Now this is for all Pizza Huts that are participating in the offer. They should all be participating, because this is free advertising for them and they should give you the same thing you see on the commercial. Just be sure you ask for it, when you call your order in. Now this $10.99 pizza from the Pizza Hut commercial is over $15 online. They are also charging me $2.50 for delivery and then you tack on the tax, my order quickly balloons to over $19! That 10 dollar pizza is more like 20 bucks! Now in most cases that delivery charge is given to the driver, so no need in paying more for your order if they are going to charge you for the tip. I usually tip better than the charges on my order, but since the pizza establishment feels it’s necessary to charge me, I just let the driver have the smaller tip. I know that might not be fair to the driver, but if enough drivers speak up, they can get rid of these pre-paid charges and let customers tip what they want.
Pizza Hut isn’t the only bad guy in the higher charges online. Papa Johns is just as bad and they are the highest guys in the business when it comes to charging for your order. If you want cheap prices, you really should consider Dominos and then maybe Pizza Hut. Papa Johns prices are the highest in the business and its hard to get a discount with them, when you’re already over paying for their food. Papa John is truly a company that is just out for your money and they could care less what value they are offering you. All three places basically have the same items on the menu, without much difference in taste. I know some people swear to each one of these pizza places, but they are all just serving you pepperoni and cheese on baked dough. It’s the sauce that makes the difference and I am willing to pay dollars less to eat my pepperoni pizza.
If you have been ordering your pizza online from Papa Johns or Pizza Hut, you should really start calling in your orders. You are going to pay more for your food when you use their convenient online ordering. Don’t think the money saving codes they send you in the emails are saving you money either. You can still get better prices by the phone and you don’t have to tack on those free breadsticks, when you weren’t planning on ordering them anyhow.
Anytime someone does us wrong or we feel that we have been mistreated, we like to pay them back in our own way. You also have to be careful and make sure you treat everyone right, so someone isn’t looking to get you back for something they think you did. Sometimes we might not even be aware that someone is paying us back and when we learn about it; it comes as a shock. You can call it “paying someone back” or you can refer to it as revenge. Revenge can be sweet if we are the ones revenging, but what if you’re caught on the wrong side?
You might recall a movie that was released in 1962 and done again in 1992 called Cape Fear. Nick Nolte plays Sam Bowden in the 1992 remake and his character is unaware of what’s going on. It seems he convicted an innocent man years ago and now that man has served his time and is looking for revenge. Robert De Niro’s character Max Cady is portrayed as the victim, when he had to serve time for a crime that he apparently didn’t commit. Now that Max Cady is free from jail, he feels like he has lost his life and the only thing left to do, is to get revenge on the man that took away his life. So you get to really see the extreme measures that someone will go through, just to get revenge on someone they think has did them wrong in the past.
Coming to theaters this Christmas is another movie that deals with revenge and it’s called Sweeney Todd. For more information you can visit the official Sweeney Todd movie site. This is another good example of revenge in movies. Sweeney Todd who is played by Johnny Depp is in the same boat as Max Cady was in Cape Fear. He feels that he’s been given a punishment that was too harsh for him as well and he decides to take things in his own hands. This movie really looks like a good one for the upcoming Christmas season and you can learn more about this movie if you visit Todd Sweeney on MySpace. Let’s see if Todd Sweeney is like Max Cady or if he’s worse?
I have reached the 2nd spot on my top 10 music video countdown. I have been showing the top 10 music videos over the last few weeks. You can go back and check the videos I have already listed under “Favorite Video” on my blog. Also you can check to see what video came right before this one and was my 3rd best video of all time.
The 2nd spot is a musican that has had many great videos. The artist is none other than Michael Jackson. Michael may not be cool now, but back in the 80’s he was the man! Michael wasn’t just the king of pop but he was also the king of videos. His Thriller video has worn many countdowns when it comes to these top music video countdowns. I decided not to put Thriller in my top ten music videos. Now he has a lot to choose from and some of his videos are more like a short movie. I decided to go with a video that really is Michael Jackson and this video is a classic. It’s really this video and the song that was above all of his other songs. At least for a time it was and when you heard the name Michael Jackson back in the 1980’s, this is usually the song that came to most people’s mind first. So turn up your speakers and listen to the 2nd greatest video ever!
Michael had the world eating out of his hands back then. This song Beat It won a grammy for Michael Jackson back in 1982. The song was one of the leading songs on the multi-platinum album Thriller. The amazing guitar solo in this song was performed by the legendary Eddie Van Halen. The setting of this video shows 2 gangs getting ready to rumble and this was inspired by the West Side Story.
The song Beat It also got attention from Weird Al Yankovic and he redone the lyrics and the video to the song Eat It. You know you have made it big when Weird Al goes and remakes your song! Not only Weird Al, but Metallica created a lot of buzz at the 2003 MTV Music Awards and did a version of Beat It.
Michael Jackson did write this song, arranged it, and composed it. He also helped produce the song, along with another very famous producer in Quincy Jones. It’s been a long time since Beat It or Michael Jackson was popular (or at least in a good way), but you can’t deny when this video was appearing on MTV, it was just one of those videos you would have to stop and watch. No matter how many times you seen it, you just had to watch Michael get out of bed and head down to the rumble.
Michael Jackson belongs in any countdown and no matter which one of his videos you choose, you have to add a Michael Jackson video in the top 10! So Michael is on mine at number 2. So who’s left for the top spot? You will have to stick around and just see which video lands on the top notch of my top 10 music videos of all time.
A lot of people are feeling better these days by getting a colon cleaning. A colon cleanse can help rid the body of toxins and other things that might just be collecting in the digestive tract. Getting rid of some of these things might make you feel better in the short-term and also help you live a longer and healthier lifestyle. It can also improve the quality of your hair and fingernails. Another thing that can be beneficial from a colon cleaning is that nutrients can get absorbed better by the body. So there is a lot of good things you can benefit from, if you get your colon cleaned out today!
As Christmas rolls near, many shoppers are going to be attracted to all the television sets that are in the electronic sections of the store. They just stick out like a soar thumb and even if you’re not looking to buy a tv; they still seem to catch everyone’s eye. It’s no wonder when you get a glimpse of a big screen television or one of those sharp HDTV, you can see why they become eye-candy to so many. If you’re looking for a television and since they are so many to choose from, be sure to do your homework. Research some of the different brands and types of tvs you would like to own. You can find good information online and Krillion is a good place that can help you find a tv and a store nearby to purchase it at. Be sure to use all the valuable information they have so you can buy a tv worth watching! You might just find your dream television at the best price possible too!
Shocking news out of the NFL today. The talented young star from the Miami Hurricanes that was shot in an early morning attack in his home, has just passed away today. It was in the early morning hours of Tuesday that he had circumed to his injury. This is going to be a tough week for the Redskin nation as they have to try and prepare for a game this Sunday, while still paying tribute to their teammate Sean Taylor.
Sean Taylor had a wife and young daughter that was not hurt in the attack on the home of Sean Taylor. It would seem the attack was directly at Sean and nothing appears to have been stolen from the home. Some reports have said the phone lines were cut and this home was also broken into just 8 days before the attack happened.
Taylor was a great player in college and it was no surprise to Hurricane Fans that he got taken so high in the draft. He was well on his way to proving that he belonged in the spot he was taken at by the Redskins. Many fans will remember his highlight hit in the Pro Bowl Game. He leveled a kicker during a special teams kickoff in the Pro Bowl and his hit was shown on all the highlight reels. That’s just the type of player he was and he could go with the best of them. Sean Taylor will be missed by a lot of folks and I’m sure the authorities will get to the bottom of this and justice will be served.

How great would it be to have a home on the range? Maybe in a state like Texas, Montana, or Arizona? If you could buy a piece of Scottsdale real estate at a good price, would you want a home on the range? You could listen to the coyotes or wolves howl into the night as the sun would be setting in the western sky at your home on the range. It sounds like a life for the rich, but it’s really affordable to buy land where there isn’t many things around. So buying the land wouldn’t be that expensive, if you had enough money to live on already. If you needed to work at the local factory, you might have to drive a long distance each day from your job to your home on the range. So this probably makes more sense for people that are retired. I’m surprised at how many people go to Florida and retire, when they could be living life on a huge piece of land and enjoying the nature. I think a home on the range will be more of what I am looking for in my retirement years and I doubt I will be living close to any beaches.
The Atlanta Falcons are in trouble. They have a new coach and their star Michael Vick is not able to play right now. He is probably going to get cut when his contract runs out, so don’t look for Vick in the Georgia Dome anytime soon. Bobby Petrino has been a big bust for the Falcons this year. He has done nothing to help the team and after their latest lost to the Colts, they are just getting worse. Some thought he might leave the Falcons for one of the more attractive college jobs that are being dangled right now. He insists that he wants to stay, but do the Falcons want him?
One of those jobs up for grabs will be the head coaching position at Georgia Tech. They just fired Chan Gailey today and I think they might have made a mistake. Gailey is a great coach and did really good for the talent that was here. Tech had an impressivie recruiting class last year and if all the verbal commitments pan out, then Georgia Tech will have one of the best recruiting classes this year. They are just another year or two away from making some serious noise in the college ranks and I thought Gailey should have been given two more years. He makes great decisions and isn’t scared to pull the trigger like most coaches are.
Now factor in the Falcons need for a coach and Chan Gailey not wanting to leave Georgia Tech and I think you have a great combination. There is no way the Falcons organization can allow Bobby Petrino to continue to butcher this team or let Rich McKay pick the players in the draft. Arthur Blank has really got to make some hard decisions and letting McKay and Petrino go would be the best thing for the Atlanta Falcons right now.
It’s not clear if Chan Gailey would want to enter the NFL again, but if he could keep his home in Atlanta, it might make the most sense for him. He will experience the growing pains for the Falcons again, but Rich Mckay is dead set on going after the high priced free agents, that will not be in the best interest of the Falcons. The Falcons should really look to rebuild and just acquire draft picks for now. The high-priced free agents are only going to put a band-aid on this team and they will win a few more games. The chances of a playoff game next year would still be against the odds and if they did make it, you could be sure it would be an early exit for them.
If Arthur Blank wants a Super Bowl (like he has said in the past) he needs a GM, a coach, draft picks, and needs to target the 2012 Super Bowl. The Super Bowl this year is out of the question and next year is just as slim too. If he and the Falcons organization don’t target the 2012 Super Bowl and continue with the veterans due to the lack of selecting good players out of the draft, it might be a lot longer before the Falcons get close to a Super Bowl appearance. This off-season will determine if the Falcons can be competitive in the journey to the Super Bowl. If Bobby Petrino remains and Mckay selects the draft picks, its going to be a long decade for the Falcon Fans.
Its fun to look through all the gear that firefighters, policemen and the military use. I found a lot of things on the 5.11 tactical website that I would like to own. The footwear section with all the boots looked really good. I could use a pair of waterproof boots and the 511 Tactical Haste Boots looks just like the boots for me. I would also get 3 pairs of FREE socks with these boots! Actually you can get the free socks with any order of boots you choose to get from 511TacticalOutdoors.com. There are plenty of other things you can get too, like knives, watches, uniforms, gloves, and gear bags. I always wondered where my security uniforms came from, when I was a security officer. Now I think I know!
Jordan Crowder is a very talented filmmaker from Canada. He was born in Detroit and moved to Montreal, Quebec at the age of 6. He soon became interested in the arts of filmmaking and acting too. He is now 22 years old and is attending school at the University of Texas. He is taking advantage of a scholarship that he received from Austin’s Film School. Jordan has produced a nice collection of works already and I thought I would display them on my blog. I did get his permission first and he is aware of his works being displayed on my blog. I’m not really sure how big Jordan’s dreams are to become a successful filmmaker, but at only 22 years old, it would seem the sky is the limit.
I am the camera man/producer/filmmaker for my family. I’m the one that gets the camcorder out and puts together all the family get togethers and such. I thought I was doing a pretty good job and had a lot of creativity in my works, until I saw one of Jordan’s films. I soon realized that I was way behind the curve and as I continued to watch other pieces that Jordan had put together, I knew he had ideas that were just busting at the seams. I could very well be the next guy you see with a film on America’s Funniest Home Videos and Jordan might just be the very next Steven Spielberg that we are all mad at, because he won’t release E.T. on VCR tapes that we could go to Blockbuster and rent. If it sounds like I am jumping the gun a bit, be sure to watch some of his work before you start blasting me. I am going to show you below the first film that I saw that caught my eye. While my eye may be long from a professional’s opinion, maybe Rob Zombie’s eye could shed light as well.
Does he sound cocky? Or is he just being sarcastic? I think he was just being sarcastic. Watching his works and the email he sent me, he sounds like a really great guy and check out the video that caught Rob Zombie’s eye and mine as well.
Being a huge fan of horror movies and the characters that play in them, I just loved this video. I must have watched it a few dozen times now and it was this video that made me wonder, just who was this Jordan Crowder?
Now for the metal heads out there that know about White Zombie are well-aware of their songwriter and lead singer Rob Zombie. Some may be more familiar with the movies House of 1000 Corpses or its sequel The Devil’s Rejects; both of these movies were produced by Rob Zombie. His 2007 movie made big news as he brought back Michael Myers from the popular Halloween movies and once again the mask killer was on the big screen terrorizing the neighborhood.
Rob recently did a video at YouTube, where he was looking for Halloween themes from other YouTubers. In his search, guess who he found?
Did you see Jordan’s YouTube video get mentioned by Rob Zombie?
While Rob didn’t necessarily give a great endorsement and really seem to be a bit full of his self and maybe doesn’t really realize that the videos he was mentioning, was just like the big studios produce. Except the people on YouTube aren’t making millions from their works and would seem just to have a love for the arts instead of the big bucks, like Rob is making. I still think its very impressive to see a guy like Jordan get mentioned by another fellow filmmaker/producer. Rob was born in 1965 and Jordan was born 20 years later in 1985 and it makes me wonder where Jordan Crowder will be in 20 years.
Wikipedia (online encyclopedia) credits Rob Zombie with 5 movies right now. One is just a short film and another one hasn’t been release yet and will be out in 2008. When the rated R animation of The Haunted World of El Superbeasto comes out in 2008, it will make Rob’s 5th film. It should be interesting to see what Wikipedia has on Jordan Crowder in 20 years.
Stay tuned and I will be featuring more of Jordan’s works over the days, weeks, months, and possibly years to come! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK JORDAN!
Thanksgiving has come and gone and now it will be time for people to return home and get ready to go back to work on Monday. It’s always hard to get started again, after you have took some time off of work. I know I am bad to just stick the luggage sets in a corner and don’t unpack them. It has taken me over a month in the past to unpack everything from my suitcases. I’m just never in the mood or in a hurry to get everything out of my luggage. It is helpful when you forget to unpack some cash that might have been left in your luggage and you find that weeks later. I guess it’s close to the same feeling when someone wins the lottery. You discover or get money you didn’t know you was going to get or have. So I do like that part, but we all know the hardest part is returning to our jobs. It’s great to see our co-workers again (in most cases) and see how their Thanksgivings went, but it can be difficult to get back in the swing of work. I don’t really think they are anything that makes the process easier, but try to do your actual job as soon as you get there. It will be better if you get back in the swing of things, before you start showing pictures and talking about what you did on your holiday. Don’t worry about it too much, because Christmas will be here before you know it and the whole process starts again!

You can sign up and get in on all the fun. Sign up now and just send the admin an email saying “I signed up just for the Super Bowl Contest” and I will add an extra 500 credits to your account! Traffic Attitude is a great way to advertise your websites or get referrals and we have over 1000+ members and growing everyday!
HOW THE CONTEST WORKS
It’s all about predictions! I want you to predict which teams will be in the Super Bowl, what the final score will be, who will be the MVP, and give me a quirky prediction! The quirky prediction is anything you want it to be. Predict something unusual that will happen and if it happens during the Super Bowl, you get extra credits! There is lots of ways to get extra credits and you don’t have to be right about everything to get them.
We don’t know which teams will be in the Super Bowl yet, but we do know some things. The 2008 Super Bowl (2007 NFL Season) is going to be played in Arizona on February 3rd. It will be the most watched event on the planet, until they play the 2009 Super Bowl. The NFL will decide who their champion in football is with the Super Bowl. We now need to know what you think will happen in this year’s Super Bowl.
TEAM VALUES
Ok I am going to list the most likely teams to be playing in the Super Bowl this year. Beside each team will be a point value. If you pick that team in your prediction and they make it to the Super Bowl, you will then receive that many credits on your Traffic Attitude accounts! I will also add the team “Other”, which means a team that I didn’t think had a shot at the Super Bowl, did actually make it to the big dance. If you choose “other” as one or both of your predictions, you can rack up the most points that way, but please understand that they are probably the long shots to make it in the 2008 Super Bowl in Arizona.
NFC TEAMS
DALLAS COWBOYS - 25
GREEN BAY PACKERS - 50
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS - 75
SEATTLE SEAHAWKS - 100
NFC OTHER - 1000
AFC TEAMS
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS - 25
INDIANAPOLIS COLTS - 50
PITTSBURGH STEELERS - 75
JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS - 100
AFC OTHER - 1000
So there are the teams and the credit amounts you can win. If you picked the most likely scenario of the New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys in this year’s Super Bowl, you would get 50 credits added to your accounts, if both of those teams made it to the Arizona Super Bowl. If you select “other” as your prediction for the NFC Team and the New York Giants, Arizona Cardinals, or any other NFC team made it to the Super Bowl, you would then get a whopping 1000 credits!!! Pick “other” as both of your selections and you could win 2,000 credits!!!
***PLEASE BE SURE TO SELECT ONE TEAM FROM THE NFC AND ONE TEAM FROM THE AFC. The Super Bowl will be played with one team from each conference!
Now once you pick your two teams, go ahead and add a number beside them. If you get within a field goal (3 points) of that team’s final score, you will get 100 more credits! If you guess the exact amount; you will then get 1000 credits added to your account!!! If you choose both “others” as your prediction, please be sure to specify NFC Other and AFC Other as your team’s score.
Don’t stop there! Go ahead and lay out a name for the MVP. If you give the name of the MVP (most valuable player) of the 2008 Super Bowl, I will add another 100 credits to your account!
QUIRKY PREDICTION?
This is the fun part, where you can predict anything at all that will happen! Try to be somewhat specific. Don’t say something like “a wide receiver will get hurt and not return to the game”. Instead say something like “the first wide receiver that catches a touchdown in the Super Bowl will get hurt on that play and will not return to the game”. You don’t have to give any players name, feel free to use their position instead, so it can increase your odds of getting it right, but at the same time, be sure to say something that will be specific. GET THIS RIGHT AND YOU GET 1000 CREDITS AND MAYBE MORE???
***If you’re not sure if your quirky prediction was specific enough, just check the comments section below and I will be sure to let all the people know that it’s not specific enough. Your quirky prediction can be anything and it doesn’t have to be game related. An earthquake will cause a delay? A power outage will cause a delay? A swarm of bats delay the game? The quirkier you get, the better! I look forward to reading your quirky predictions!
You don’t have to predict everything. You can simply pick one team if you want. If someone posts “The Pittsburgh Steelers will win” and that’s the only thing they post. I would give them 75 credits on their Traffic Attitude accounts! (if the Steelers win)
Be sure to leave your Member ID Number from Traffic Attitude, so I can quickly add your credits once the game is over.
Example Post:
New England Patriots 38
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20
MVP Randy Moss
I say that a running back in the game will have to leave the field for a few plays and change jerseys, because his jersey will get ripped so bad.
That’s an example of what I am looking for. I picked my two teams (one from the NFC and one from the AFC), I picked the score for each team, I picked an MVP, and I gave a quirky prediction.
So do you understand the Super Bowl Contest? If you think you know what you’re doing; then by all means give it a shot! DEADLINE WILL BE DECEMBER 31ST! So be sure you get your predictions in before the 2008 year starts!
***If anybody picks the right two teams and gets just one of the scores right (winners or loser’s score), I will add 100,000 Auto and 100,000 Manual credits to your account!
Good LUCK! Have FUN!

I’m not sure how many keyboards I have gone through, but it’s been a few. I like to eat around my computer and I find a lot of that food gets in between the keys. This causes my keys to stick and eventually they just quit working all together. I bought a new computer last year and it came with a new keyboard of coarse. I really wanted to protect my new keyboard, so I decided to put plastic over the keys. Now the plastic is a little aggervating at first, but you do get use to it. I can now take the plastic off and my keyboard still looks brand new. If you have had a problem with sticking keys and keys that just don’t want to work anymore, try finding something to wrap your keyboard up in and see if this helps you. I continue to eat at my keyboard/computer and have yet to have any problems, like I use to.
It just seems like my poor Aunt Lucile can’t win these days. It all started back on her 60th birthday when the bones started to crack and she just couldn’t move as well as she use to. She was becoming lazy and just didn’t want to have anything to do with anybody. We knew we had to get her out of this funk, so after watching her go through her pains and miseries for 10 years, we started trying to perk her up, on her 70th birthday. We didn’t have much luck and everything we tried for the next 10 years just didn’t seem to work. So now my poor Aunt Lucile is 80 years old and just hasn’t had much life in her for the last 20 years.
On a hunch, we heard about this product called Freeze It Gel and thought that might give some life to my poor Aunt Lucile. This product was referring to itself as the “advanced pain therapy pain relief gel”, we needed some of that advanced therapy, so we thought we would give my Aunt Lucile some. The directions said to apply it to the “painful muscles” and we knew our poor Aunt Lucile had a lot of them. So we just gave her a bath in the stuff, but we made sure she only got the gel on her external areas, because this product is NOT for internal use. It was amazing what this gel done! She began to perk up and now she acts like a teenager. I’m not sure what they put in that thar Freeze It, but it sure does work good for all the painful joints and muscles one might have.
My Aunt Lucile is now a party animal and at 80 years old, she can stay up with the best of them. Unfortunately most of her friends don’t have this Freeze It stuff yet and they are all going to bed, just about as quick as they wake up. So even though my poor Aunt Lucile does feel much better, she still has a hard time finding people that can stay up with her.
Now we just need to keep her in stock with this great product. It would be nice to win a year’s supply of this stuff. I think my Aunt Lucile wouldn’t be the only one taking advantage of a year supply of Freeze It. This product is good for sore muscles, muscle sprains, pains that come from the neck, back, and shoulders, and it helps with arthritis pains. This is just a product that you always want to have some nearby. If you don’t believe me, just ask my Aunt Lucile!
If you have a lot of family photos or like taking your pictures, why not turn them into a piece of art? It is possible at Paint Your Life, where they have portrait painters that will put your precious photos on canvas with their artistic skills. It’s really pretty cool to see some of the examples at their website. It’s a very easy-to-use website that you won’t have any problems navigating around at. You can look at some of the great works by these portrait painters they have working for them. I can’t believe how life-like some of these art portraits look and you will forget they are a painting on canvas. You have to really look close to see that it’s a painting and not a photo from a camera.
Be sure to stop by and look at their different galleries they have available and see if you would like to put a certain photo on canvas. There are different themes to each of the galleries. You can browse through wedding, pets, family, children, house, vehicles, or many other of the specified themes for each category.
The prices will vary according to what size you want the art to be at. You only have to pay for 20 percent of the total price when you place your order, then you can pay the rest when you have seen your art work and it is to your liking. If you wanted to get a family member or friend something special for a holiday, anniversary, or birthday; then one of these art portraits would be the perfect gift!
Be sure to stop back by and let me know how it went!

I see that Guitar World’s 100 Greatest Guitar Solos is on a list now. I was surprised that Money For Nothing by Dire Straight was not in the top 10 on that list. I think that is one of the best guitar solos I have ever heard. It starts at the very beginning of the song and that’s guitar playing to me. Another song I like is Sweet Child O’Mine by Guns N’ Roses and that guitar is at the beginning too. I like both of those songs in the way they take off right from the start with the guitar.
Their top 10 list goes as follows:
1. Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeplin
2. Eruption by Van Halen
3. Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd
4. Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd
5. All Along the Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix
6. November Rain by Guns N’ Roses
7. One by Metallica
8. Hotel California by the Eagles
9. Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne
10. Crossroads by Cream
Those are 10 great songs and its hard to deny that any of those songs don’t belong on the top 10 list too. They are some really great guitar players that are playing those songs above and I think a lot of us would consider them the best of the best. You know you have to include people like Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix when the word guitar is just mentioned. Eddie Van Halen is certainly someone that can hold his own and is a hero to a lot of guitar players. You don’t drop too far down the list when you start naming guys like Slash from Guns N’ Roses, Jimmy Page from Led Zeplin, Kirk Hammet from Metallica, Randy Rhoads with Ozzy Osbourne, and David Gilmour with Pink Floyd. Some bands have two great guitar players and you usually have to talk about both if you talk about one. Joe Walsh and Don Felder are both great with the Eagles. I know many people love Gary Rossington from Lynyrd Skynyrd, but you have to include Allen Collins too from Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Who are your favorite guitar players? I know the list goes on and on and you can still talk about guys like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Chuck Berry, Dimebag Darrel, Eric Johnson, Ritchie Blackmore, Brian May, Mark Knopfler, Tom Morello, Marin Barre, Steve Vai, and Joe Satriani. Are any of these guys your favorite? Please let me know if I left off anybody.
