Don’t Surf Past this Matrix!

You Didn’t Surf Past This Page….. Did You?

Fortune 4X1 Matrix

You don’t want to continue over looking this page. It leads to a powerful new matrix and it’s one you will want to join. You may have not had luck with other programs like this, but the 4×1 Fortune Matrix works! It’s easy to get started with and it won’t take you long to get paid. A one time payment of $11 insures that you will be a lifetime member and you can get paid over and over again. If you know 1 or 2 people now that you can get to join you; then that may be all you need to get your first $30 payment! You will get the benefits of spillunders and spillovers and this will help you fill out your matrix much faster!

 

You can join from this blog post and you will get credit from my spillovers as I will be aggressively marketing this 4 x 1 Matrix. I have been paid already, so you will get paid. I plan to get paid a lot more times and this is only the start of some easy online money you could be earning. If you can afford the small investment of eleven dollars; then you can join my team and we can work together for some extra cash online.

 

A matrix is not the cure-all solution to your money problems. A matrix is not going to allow you to quit your job. A matrix isn’t going to pay next month’s bills for you. What a matrix will provide you with is a chance to create a new stream of income. You will have fun promoting this new 4×1 Fortune Matrix and it will give you a little extra cash for advertising online, investing into your other online programs, or a little extra spending money for around the house. A new matrix like this is a good online hobby to have that you can actually get real money from. Your money will be paid to your Alert Pay account. You will need this to join the Fortune Matrix. If you don’t have an Alert Pay account yet; then go do that now and when you get it set up, come back here and we can pair up as a team to help each other make some extra money online.  

4X1FortuneHeader

Now is your chance to join a matrix where your upline will be supplying you with spillovers from his extra downline members. This will help you fill up your matrix much faster; than if you had to do all the work by yourself. Your one time payment of $11 gives you a lifetime’s worth of fun as you will be collecting money from this new Matrix Fortune for a long time to come.

 

After you first join, try to promote it lots on free traffic exchanges, ptc sites, blogs, and any other way you have to market and advertise referral pages. You just need 2 members in first level and 4 members in your 2nd level to get your first cycle complete. This first cycle will pay you $30, so you already get your $11 paid back and make $19 profit for completing your first trip through the matrix. You will automatically be placed in it again and no additional money will be required. Your 2nd time around will be fun, since you have already got your money back and made your way into the profit side of things.

 

In order for a matrix to work properly, it does need a large member base of dedicated people. You have probably seen the 4×1 Fortune Matrix referral page already, so you know lots are involved and actively promoting it. This matrix is going to get a lot bigger before it is over and really it will never be over. You can earn over and over again and there is no ceiling to the amount of money you can make from the Fortune 4×1 Matrix.

 

I look forward to teaming up with you and together we can make a lot of money from this matrix. Our first mission is to get your $11 back and the sooner you join, the sooner we can start making our way toward that goal. I wish you luck and hope you make a fortune with this popular matrix that is sweeping the web right now.

The Wall by Pink Floyd

The Wall by Pink Floyd

After all these years the Wall by Pink Floyd is one of those videos that people still like to watch. It’s been a few years since I have seen it, but would like to watch it again. Pink Floyd has a lot of good songs and their music has survived through the years. You use to see their movie playing on television a lot. I noticed they were coming on pretty regularly on the TV music channels in the USA. Perhaps it’s still gets played heavily on the television channels outside the U.S..

 

What is your favorite Pink Floyd song? Another Brick in the Wall would be my favorite Pink Floyd song. However, there is at least a half dozen others that I like very well too. The Wall is a bit confusing to some and may be hard to understand, but once you learn the pattern of the movie and the story it is trying to tell, it is a good movie to watch.

 

Other bands and singers have did movie videos too. Most of them don’t ever produce a video that is as great as the Wall was and this has been the industry standard for many years now. I’m not sure if Pink Floyd is still touring or if they plan to do any future concerts. A Pink Floyd concert tour would be huge in the United States now. The music concerts have slipped a bit in recent years and a band like Pink Floyd could change that fast with an announcement of a future concert tour. I guess we will have to wait and see if Pink Floyd does plan to go on tour anytime soon and in the meantime, we can watch The Wall by Pink Floyd on video.

What Firemen Shop For

The brave men and women that go to work everyday to insure our daily safety, have to buy their own safety items to provide them safety on the job. Firemen need good communication products, clothing, and other things to do their jobs fast and safely. It’s a lot more than just grabbing a hose and putting water on fires. A firemen that was looking for some good throat mics could find them online at a New York based company called Comtrex. They have recently redesigned their equipment page for the fire fighters to help them find these very important tools they need; while working in their dangerous line of work. Comtrex isn’t done with their redesigning efforts and they plan to fix up the main site soon.

 

Comtrex has a lot of products they offer to firemen and other law enforcement workers. It’s not easy putting up so many items online and then breaking them down into categories so they are easy to find. There are a lot of categories to choose from at Comtrex, but they have to do this in order to provide so many products, for so many different people. It is pretty easy to navigate and most first time users will find their way around, once they see how the categories break down into different groupings. My first time there, I did think they had too many categories on the left hand side of the sidebar. After seeing how many items they were actually selling, I saw their reasoning behind all the category links on the left side of the page. I don’t think you can put a price on safety, but the items do appear to be reasonably priced. I could easily see Comtrex being a website that is saved to “favorites” by fire departments all across the country.

The Fourth Kind Movie – Alien Abduction

In 1972 a scale was created to measure our contact with UFO’s and aliens.

First Kind – Sighting

Second Kind – Evidence

Third Kind – Contact

Fourth Kind – Abduction

 

Now a new movie focuses on the 4th kind and it’s called the Fourth Kind. This 2009 movie is a fact-based thriller that takes actual events from patients who went under hypnosis and experienced their alien abductions. These stories have been compiled together and the basis for the new true story movie called the Fourth Kind.

Fourth Kind Movie

This looks like a good movie and one that I would like to see. I am just wondering how far this movie goes and how much we can learn after watching it. The movie is set in Nome, Alaska and people are going missing in Alaska and nobody knows why. Some believe it is a government cover up and they are the ones responsible. The Government blames the high alcohol rates on the people that are turning up missing. While the 2009 movie The Fourth Kind touches on the alien abduction angle.

 

Some believe this latest movie is set up more like another Blair Witch movie. Blair Witch was a movie that we all thought was real and that we were looking at actual film footage of young people roaming around in the woods. The Fourth Kind is positioning their self as a real life story and the first ones to see it, are under the assumption that it is real and these are true events taking place.

 

It will be interesting to see how things turn out. One good thing is that the people who are really missing and no where to be found; new light will get shed on this Alaskan Mystery and we can hopefully find out the real reasons why. The Net is really buzzing right now about the Fourth Kind and searches have seen a sharp increase over the last few days. It’s looking like this movie will create as much attention and talk around the water cooler as the Blair Witch Project did several years ago.

 

Do you plan to watch the new 2009 movie called the Fourth Kind? People fascinated with aliens, ufo’s, and life on other planets will probably want to make plans to see this one. I would like to hear some feedback from the people who have already seen this movie, so please be sure to let me know what you liked or didn’t like about the movie. The release of this movie is set to open in theaters on November 6th, 2009. There does appear to be an audience right now for this movie, since Paranormal Activitywas the top movie this past weekend in theaters. More people wanted to see Paranormal Activity than the latest Saw movie and Saw VI ranked 2nd at the weekend box office.

Gambling Online Gaining Popularity

I love the websites online that let you gamble for real money. Apparently I’m not the only one, because online gambling is gaining in popularity. These online gaming sites that lets you play poker, bingo, or other well-known games is huge on the Net right now. I think TV has played a role in helping these sites gain in their fame and the fact more and more people want to win real money online. One popular game we seen on television a lot is Texas Hold’em. This is one of the most popular ways to play poker online and this is what the poker stars play on TV. Texas Hold’em is an easy game to learn and fun to play. It’s pretty much like regular 5 card stud poker with the exception of a couple of extra cards and you try to build your hand with the same cards as your opponents get. Each player gets two cards in the hole and these are the only thing that makes your hand different from the other players, in a game of Texas Hold’em.

 

If poker isn’t your game, there are other games you can play on these gambling sites online. Most people have played bingo and you can find this game on a lot of websites. I have played bingo for money in a few places in my hometown and I have also played bingo online for real money too. I haven’t won anything too big with bingo online, but I have had some success with the slots. Have you tried online slots yet? No thinking required with these games and playing slots is an easy and relaxing way to enjoy your online gambling adventures. This is cheap fun and you don’t need a lot of money to play slots. Many websites will let you deposit a small cash amount into your account, so you can start playing slots for real money. You’re going to win more often in slots; than any of the other gambling games I can think of right now. If you’re new to online gambling, you may want to try the slots first, to get your feet wet. You don’t have to wait for a special trip to a nearby casino to have some gambling fun. The online websites are open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. There is always some money to be won; when you start playing online. Please be sure to come back here and let me know how you did. I would love to hear from those that are giving it a try for the first time and see if you had any “beginner’s luck“. I wish you lots of luck and don’t forget to have some fun; when you play these gambling games online!

Atlanta Hawks on TV Tonight

The NBA is back in Georgia and tonight will be a chance for the Atlanta Hawks to display their basketball talents to the nation. The Atlanta Hawks will be hosting the Orlando Magic at Philips Arena in preseason action. Orlando had a big year last year and they made it all the way to the NBA Finals. I’m sure they are eager to get started this year and they have added Vince Carter to their arsenal of weapons. This will be a tough team for the Hawks to do battle with this year, but winning this preseason game tonight could set the table for later on.

 

It should be fun watching Josh Smith lead the young Hawks into another great season this year. I’m ready for some NBA basketball and I’m glad ESPN will be showing tonight’s game on television. It gives us all a chance to see the Hawks play ball, before they start the real games next week. All eyes will be on one of the newest Hawks player Jeff Teague. There is do doubts Teague can score at the NBA level. If he can knock down the NBA 3 Pointer is a question mark and his point guard skills is another thing he will have to improve on. Jason Collins has been hurt and not sure if we will see him play tonight or not. The Hawks made a great trade for Jamal Crawford and I look forward to seeing him play basketball in a Hawks uniform. Well it’s getting close to game time, so better start getting ready to watch the Atlanta Hawks and Orlando Magic Game. Good luck to the Hawks this year and this team really does need to get off to a good start, for a big time confidence booster.

New Christmas Carol Movie with Jim Carey

It looks like Disney has another winner coming out in theaters this November. The new Christmas Carol movie with Jim Carey looks great and this new Disney movie will be in 3-D too!

 

Jim Carey has played in some good movies and he’s even did a few holiday movies. I think his new 3D movie about the classic Christmas story a Christmas Carol is going to be huge at the box office. The new Christmas Carol movie in 3 D technology will debut in theaters on November 6th. This will be the first time fans of Christmas movies can see this latest production from Walt Disney moives.

Christmas Carol

Have you seen the previews yet? It looks like it will be a really good movie and this will be a movie that the adults and kids will all enjoy. I’m sure most of us have seen many variations of A Christmas Carol and now we get to see it in 3-D. I think the 3D aspect does give it that extra bit of excitement to the movie and I can’t wait to put on my glasses and watch this movie. I plan on taking my twin 4 year old nephews on the day this movie comes out; which will be November 6th. I’m not sure who will enjoy the movie more (them or me), but I think all 3 of us will have a good time. Jim Carey is going to be playing the main parts of all the characters in the movie, so that is another thing to look forward to. He will be playing the grumpy old Ebenezer Scrooge; while also playing the ghost parts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Future. I know we know how the story line goes and the way it will end, but every Scrooge movie I have seen puts their own little twist to it and those are the parts I look for.

 

One thing that I love about the older Christmas Carol movies is the bed of Ebenezer Scrooge. I would love to have a bed like his and it looks so comfortable. A bed that has 4 high posts and a curtain that wraps around it. I’m not sure what the bed will look like in Jim Carey’s new movie, but I’m sure they will stay true to form and get the bed that has the high posts and curtains.

 

As exicted as I am to see The Christmas Carol with Jim Carey this November, it’s actually 2nd on my list on the movies I want to watch in November. There is another big movie coming out on Friday the 13th in November and I hope I get a chance to watch it in theaters too. Do you know what movie I am referring to? I will blog about it later on and reveal my top choice for new movies in November, but for now my excitement level is very high for this new Disney movie that will be focused on Scrooge. I think this movie will be a huge success and it will probably remain playing in theaters for the rest of the 2009 year. I couldn’t imagine them taking this new 3D movie down before Christmas Day. It should be a good holiday movie for those families that go to the theaters to watch a movie on those family get-togethers on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.

There are so many good hosting companies out there you shouldn’t have a hard time finding a good one and at a fair hosting price. There are some differences in hosting companies, so once you see which ones offer the best price, you want to choose the one that meets your specific needs.

I did get lucky and I chose one of the top hosting services available and I have been happy with my selection so far. I have had very little to no hosting issues. I know it can be frustrating to have problems with your hosting company and I have heard a few of the nightmare stories. You spend a lot of time and effort on your website, so you don’t need any outside distractions; like an issue with a hosting company.

Do you see your current hosting company in the top 10? If not, you might want to see if there is better hosting options available. I see a couple of names I am not familiar with and I need to read the reviews on them. They both have “green” in their titles and I’m not sure what is up with that. So I will investigate more into SuperGreen and GreenGeeks at Web Hosting Geeks. Please feel free to let me know which hosting service you use and if you would recommend them to another webmaster online.

Sarah Hyland Stars in the New Fall Lineup for TV

sarah hyland
One of the new shows airing this fall is Modern Family and it’s one of the few bright spots in the new fall schedule. This show deals with 3 families and they are all very different but at the same time they’re all very modern families. You get to see a view of 3 different families and the things that go on in their household with this new TV show from ABC. I think Modern Family is one of the top 3 shows out there this fall and it seems like the star of the show is Al Bundy from Married with Children. It really isn’t Al Bundy, but actor Ed O’Neillplays one of the men on Modern Family and there are some similarities to his character on this new ABC show as his character for Fox’s Married with Children.

 

As of right now, Sarah Hyland who plays Haley in Modern Familydoesn’t have that big of a role. In fact, she didn’t even appear in the last two episodes of Modern Family, but did make an appearance in tonight’s episode. It makes you wonder if there is a contract dispute some where along the lines or if this was just the intention of the show’s creators? From the cast of characters that make up this new fall show on ABC; it would seem that this cute teen would have a lot of air time and they would want to use her to pull in a bigger audience. Sarah Hyland does have a very young appearance and you would think she is 12 or 13 years old with 14 as your highest guess. She is actually 18 years old and will turn 19 in late November. These super young looks and the fact that she is an adult should open up a lot of roles for her in Hollywood. Some may remember Sarah in Private Parts, the story about Howard Stern, and she played the role of his daughter. She has also appeared in the movies: The Audrey Hepburn Story in 2000; Spanglish in 2004; and Blind Date in 2008.

Modern Family

While I do think Sarah Hyland is the star attraction for all of the new shows this fall on TV, I think her show Modern Family ranks 3rd on my list as of right now. Another ABC show that I like better than Modern Family is the one that stars Christian Slaterand he might just be the 2nd biggest star to shine this fall. He is an ex-cop that plays a role for an organization that tries to identify the people that can’t be recognized or identified by the police. He leads his group of volunteers each week to hunt down some person that has died, but yet no one knows who they are. That is until Christian Slater and his friends get a few tidbits of information and then the journey begins as they break down all of the clues and finally get a name to match up with a body. Slater’s character name on the show is Alex Donovan and there appears to be a little bit of a mystery that is looming around his character. He apparently has a daughter that gets mentioned briefly from time to time and I’m thinking this is going to be a future episode that will involve Alex Donovan and his missing daughter. Now the show hasn’t said she was missing, but as of right now, you would have to think that Alex and his friends will get a missing girl and it will probably end up being his daughter. I may be wrong here and totally off, but it does seem a bit strange right now, how they just briefly mention her and then the show moves on. I guess we will have to wait and see where The Forgotten takes us this fall.

flash-forward

Now I have named the 3rd best show (Modern Family) and the 2nd best show (The Forgotten), I think it’s time to announce the best new show to debut this fall. If you have seen the show already; then I am sure you recognize who is in the picture above. If you haven’t watched the best new show to come on TV this fall; then I will let you know what it is. I think the top new show is Flash Forward. I would recommend setting your VCR or DVR for this one and it airs on Thursday nights and it is another ABC show. I think ABC is the top network this fall and they won with the best new shows this year.

 

Even though FlashForward is my pick as the top new show, it still isn’t that great of a show. There is enough drama and suspense in this show that makes you want to watch it each week, so you will know what’s going on. Basically the show started off with a boom and it didn’t take long for everyone in the world to black out. I’m guessing we saw the blackout after the first episode had been on for 5 minutes. Everyone in the world (almost everyone) did black out and each person saw a quick glimpse into their future. It seems the whole world loss consciousness for 137 seconds and no one knows why. The show has you on your tip toes each week to see why the blackout happened and what is up with the 137 seconds. The lead character is Joseph Fiennes (pictured above) and he plays the role of FBI Special Agent Mark Benford. His flash forward focused on him trying to solve the blackout and now he is trying to catch up and solve this mystery; before a set date in 2010 gets here. This probably isn’t the best new show television has ever gave us, but it is the best one they gave us in 2009, so try to enjoy it the best you can.

Saw VI Coming October 23rd

 SAW Part 6 Coming Soon!

Saw VI Movie

Listen up Saw fans and those seeking their thrills from movies. The Saw series has a new installment coming out October 23rd! This will be the 6th time fans get to see this mad man put his victims through a series of life and death challenges they must figure out to survive. These movies are all intense and I don’t expect any less from Saw VI when it makes it’s way to theaters in late October.

 

This latest Saw movie is just in time for Halloween and people that like to watch scary movies during the Halloween holidays will have a new one this year. I think the new Saw movie will do better than the other 5 have done at the box office. There are more theaters open now; since Saw 5 was in theaters and couple that with the Halloween holiday and you have a cash cow at the theaters! I’m not sure what other movies will be making their debut on October 23rd; but look for Saw part 6 to be the top draw at the box office.

 

Do you plan to watch Saw 6 when it comes out in theaters? Do you let your teenage kids watch these types of movies? I find the Saw movies interesting and I will be sure to watch it; when it comes on satellite TV. I don’t like them good enough to pay money at the theaters and not sure how the newest Saw movie will compare with the other ones. I found the first Saw movie and Saw IV or Saw 4 as the best two out of the 4 Saw movies I have seen. I haven’t watched Saw V or Saw 5 yet; but will have to see if it’s playing on the movie channels right now. It wasn’t too long ago when I saw part 4 in the Saw series and I thought Saw IV was really good.

 

Which Saw movie have you liked the best out of the ones you have watched so far? Did you get a chance to see the first 5 Saw movies that have came out yet? If you haven’t ever watched a Saw movie before, it wouldn’t be that big of a deal if Saw 6 was the first one you seen. I would recommend to most people that you at least watch the first Saw movie, so you can understand how these movies work. They are a unique concept in horror movies or thriller movies and it is refreshing to see that someone out in Hollywood finally had an original thought. As for naming the best Saw movie and the one I like best, I would have to give props to the original one and my vote is for Saw I as the best Saw movie in the series so far. I would rank Saw 4 as the 2nd best Saw movie and I really didn’t like Saw 3 or 4. If you have only watched one Saw movie and didn’t like it, I bet it was Saw 2 or Saw 3 that you watched. I’m not the biggest Saw fan in the world, but in my eyes these guys are 2 for 4 right now and batting 500. I will have to watch Saw 5 to see which way I lean overall on the Saw movies.

 

How many Saw movies?

Michael Moore Scratches at Box Office

MichaelMoore

Michael, Michael, Michael is all it seems we are hearing these days in the news. A lot of Michaels making headlines and are any of them news worthy? We have heard from A-Z about the news of Michael Jackson’s death and that is one story that isn’t going away anytime soon. In Philadelphia we are hearing about the Eagles newest QB Micheal Vick and his return to the NFL. Between Michael Jackson and Michael Vick is there really any room left for another Michael in the news?

 

Well the latest “Michael” story is coming from Hollywood and it’s Michael Moore’s new movie Capitalism: A Love Story. This new movie from the controversial Moore came out on September 23rd and I still haven’t heard much about it. I did notice that this movie is still hanging on in the top 10 movies at the box office and that surprised me. This past week, Michael Moore’s new movie got 8th place at the box office. No matter if you like him or hate him, his movies do tend to get us talking and I hope his new movie continues down that road. I have actually thought a couple of his movies were pretty good and I usually do sit down and watch them when they are released for viewing on the movie channels I get on satellite TV.

 

It seems most people don’t like his movies because they have inaccurate information and feel he is choosing one side of the political party. I actually just see him taking shots at the American Government and really don’t see him drawing party lines. I don’t know what his political choice is when choosing between Democrats and Republicans, but we do need voices in America standing up for what they believe in. He may not always go about it in the best ways, but at least he is out there sharing his ideas and opinions and that is more than most of us do. I get angry and upset at certain things, but have no idea who to talk to or complain about my disputes with the Government. It seems the latest news on health care has got people speaking up at public forums in their local cities and hometowns and I think this could be another Michael Moore movie in the future. I have seen Sicko and know Moore gave his fans something there but this latest news on health care is really stirring folks up.

 

If you have seen the new Michael Moore movie and would like to comment; then please do. I would like to hear some opinions on the Capitalism: Love Story movie that Michael Moore has just created and see how his latest work stacks up with previous Michael Moore films. It should be interesting to see which Michael makes headlines next. I wouldn’t be shocked if we find out that David Letterman’s real name is Michael and the Letterman scandal makes it’s way into the Michael Jackson, Michael Vick, and Michael Moore headlines too.

Looks Very Important in the Job Market

We have learned over the years that a good resume is the key to finding a good job. Now if you’re trying to get a job at a fast food restaurant; then your resume really isn’t that important. If you are looking for a well-paying job and there are many other applicants trying for the same position; then you will need to focus on a good resume. Preparing a great resume can be very important to finding that next job. Especially with the job market getting more competitive now with all the recent lay offs from the big companies.

 

We are also learning that your looks can go a long ways into securing a position with a good company. The way you dress and groom yourself is something employers are taking a closer look at these days. You can look online for the Gillette Resource Center to pick up on some of these new trends and things that might can help you land that next high paying job. Gillette has put together some great information and this can be valuable information to those that are seeking a new job or just a better job. If you already have a job and you’re just looking to move up the corporate ladder; then there are some things for you too. It was Gillette that commissioned a survey recently and they used more than 500 HR professionals to conduct their survey with. They found that most of these HR professionals agreed that a well-groomed employee is the one that stands a better chance of landing that job or just moving up the company ladder.

 

You really don’t want to take chances these days. I use to wear a ball cap and jeans when I went to collect job applications. There is no telling who might have been watching me during this time. What if one of these companies gave me an interview on the spot? I wouldn’t have been prepared in the “looks” department with my jeans and baseball cap on. You would now want to dress nice and have a fresh hair cut, if you get out going around collecting  job applications. You would also want to take a look at the Gillette Career Advantage before you got out searching for a new job. They have a great Gillette Career Quiz that Internet users can take and see what types of jobs might be right for them. Tomorrow’s job market will probably be tougher than today’s job market, so taking action now and getting the proper training is what the smart people will do for their future careers. It’s the HR folks that will determine the hiring and Gillette has created a good way of seeing these people’s thoughts and it seems your looks are more important than ever now.

NHL Hockey Back in Atlanta

The NHL hockey season is back and teams are once again skating around on the ice. The Atlanta Thrashers started their season by hosting the Tampa Bay Lightning in Philips arena. The Thrashers came out in fine fashion and led their opponents by a 2 to 0 score after the first period. It didn’t end there and the Thrashers scored two quick goals in the 2nd period to take a 4 to nothing lead over the Lightning. After that, the team from Tampa Bay, Florida did make a comeback and started to score some goals. However, Tampa could never stop the Thrashers skaters from scoring and the game ended with the Atlanta Thrashers winning by a 6 to 3 score.

 

This was a good way to start the new NHL season for the Atlanta Thrashers. They now get a long rest period and will not play again until this Thursday when they take on the St. Louis Blues in St. Louis, Missouri. A real test will come this Saturday when the Thrashers travel up to Canada to take on the Ottawa Senators. If the Thrashers can win their first 3 games of the season; then Atlanta will be buzzing over their hockey in hotlanta.

 

The 18 year old rookie Evander Kane played well in his first outing. We also seen some good play from Ilya Kovaluchuk and Rich Peverley who both scored 2 goals each in Saturday’s win over the Lightning. Bryan Little continued his hot play from last year and he looked really good on the ice in Philips Arena on Saturday. If these guys continue to play well around the development of Zach Bogosian who also scored a goal in the Thrashers first game; then we might just see playoff hockey in Atlanta in 2010. The team does have a good mix of young and old players on the roster and perhaps 1 more good trade before the NHL All Star break, could push this Thrasher team into a winning season this year. I guess we will just have to take the first win for now and see how the team plays in St. Louis Thursday, before we can start talking playoffs. They won’t be losing too many games if they can continue to score 6 goals a game.

Floods Taking a Toll in Georgia

Mother Nature has been kind with her H2O for the people living in Georgia. It wasn’t long ago we was suffering from the worse droughts our state has ever seen. Now we are getting more rain than we know what to do with. It seems more rain is forecasted for the days ahead and we are in a very wet cycle right now. The grounds are soaked and can’t hold any more water. All the rain that falls now or most of it is just run off. These rains are running off the grounds in the Peach State and flowing into our creeks, streams, and rivers. These areas can’t hold much more water either and they are leaving their banks and filling up the lakes fast.

 

There are two big lakes in North Georgia. Allatoona Lake and Lake Lanier are the main sources of water in Atlanta and the northern Georgia areas. These two big lakes are either full or near full pool capacity in Georgia. Now with more rains forecasted for the future, it remains to be seen where all of this water can go. It isn’t likely we will have any droughts in the near future and the water table in Georgia is very high right now. We could see the floods get worse than we did a few weeks back when 3 interstates got shut down in Georgia. For now the only thing Georgia residents can do is wait and see how much more rain we will get this fall and go from there. More flood damage is expected and Georgia may still be having flood problems into November if things don’t have a chance to dry out anytime soon. The Georgia floods are really taking a toll on the state and there is already millions of dollars of damage and more damage is expected in the Georgia floods in the coming weeks. Please feel free to share your GA flood stories and your opinions on the recent rain in Georgia. I hope you haven’t suffered any home damages yet or your home has been repaired from the heavy rains in Georgia.
