These storms and flooding across the eastern part of the United States this month has turned a lot of people’s live’s upside down. From my understanding, there has been a few people already killed, many without power, and many hurt. I read that the estimated damage of these storms and floods will cost well into the millions. A few of these states are still recovering from bad snow storms. Not only does the flooding affects the people of these states it affects all of us. Our food costs will be going up because of damage crops and delays in planting crops. We can only hope that the rains subside to reduce flooding. For some it’s to late, waters in some areas of the northeast is 20 feet over flood walls. Hopefully it will stop soon!

It seems that there are a few changes coming about within the Bills. And here’s the surprise, Terrell Owens is getting cut, not really a surprise is it, or is it. He did manage to stay out of trouble for a year, so why cut him? I think the Bills are doing this because T.O. gets in trouble during season 2 with his new team. Now this hasn’t been verified yet, but insiders at the Bills camp say it’s coming. T.O. is a huge problem for any team, and the likelihood of him being picked up by another team is slim, but the Ravens have been asking questions. As good as T.O. is, his career just might be over if he does get cut. And I really don’t think any other team will pick him up, been wrong about that before thought. If he wasn’t always such a trouble maker he could have been one of the best whoever played the game, it’s a shame.

Not to long ago a test done by Time Warner Cable Inc. went very well, according to them. The test was charging more to their customers that went over their limit of data traffic. This test was done in one market to make sure their system can charge the right rate and monitor customer usage. I was reading that if you where a customer paying $30 a month you had 5 gigabytes of transfer data. And if you went over that limit you would be charge $1 for every gigabyte over the 5. If you ask me the 5 gigabyte limit is way to low. I would burn through that amount in the first week. I would consider switching to a new ISP if this comes to my area. Time Warner Cable is taking advantage of hard working people, this is wrong. Since they think everything went so well they have choose to role this out to 4 more major U.S. markets. And if your wondering if other ISP are doing the same thing, that would be a yes. But no where’s near the lows of transfer data that Time Warner Cable is giving. The other ISP’s are offering limits starting at 60 gigabyte all the way up to 250 gigabytes. So you can see why I think Time Warner Cable is taken advantage of people. If they try this with me I will leave them and switch to DLS or find another Cable provider. However, with all that being said, not all ISP’s are going to be doing this, so this just might keep the other ISP’s in check.

Tech Giveaway from Tony’s!

A few weeks ago I was sent a few coupons to try out Tony’s Pizza Crispy Crust. Since this was a new pizza pie it took me awhile to find one. So my wife went to one of those big box stores and purchased 3 different kinds, cheese, pepperoni and supreme. This new Crispy Crust is said to be baked, not fried, which means it’s much better for you. It’s also labeled to have zero grams of trans fat, which is much healthier for everyone.

Okay, it’s healthier, there’s variety, but you really want to know how did they taste? Well, there not that bad, pretty good, I was surprised. I usually don’t purchase pre package pizza’s. I earthier order out, or make my own at home, which everyone tells me I make a great pizza. Anyway, I tried all 3 pizza pies, and the only thing I was disappointed about was the cheese, there wasn’t that much at all, which I expected. Adding a little extra cheese isn’t a big deal for me. If you do decide to purchase Tony’s Pizza, or any other pre package pizza pies you’re going to need to add extra cheese, there are the same.

Last – Tony’s Pizza is also running a contest were you can win a Tech Prize Pack valued at $500. There are a few bloggers that have posted about this contest, click here to locate the rules and were to enter, good luck.

I’m not specking of the show, “The Biggest Loser,” I’m speaking of U.S Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. As most of you know, not to long ago he was he was the New York Fed chief. He also got caught not paying taxes on all his income. He said sorry, paid a small fine, and went to work for President Barack Obama in 2008. If you or I would’ve had the U.S Government come down on us like a bad habit. Not him, he gets to be in charge of the U.S money, something wrong here, what was Obama thinking? Anyway, today Geithner was attacked by and criticized by Democrats and Republicans Wednesday for his role in the $180-billion-plus taxpayer bailout of insurance giant American International Group. Something you may not know, money went through AIG and filtered down to business partners within AIG. The money wasn’t meant for that, and Geither said he didn’t know that’s were the money went, which I think he’s not telling the whole story. The money was also used for trips and bonuses, unreal. They mess up, get free money from the Government, what’s wrong with these people. Part of the problem is that we have people that’s supposed to be looking out for us not doing their jobs. Their really looking out for themselves. What needs to happen is Geithner needs to spend time in jail with the other Wall-Street law breakers. Hopefully some day the truth will come out and Geithner get’s his 4X8 room for a few years.

I would like to wish everyone that stops by a very Merry Christmas. Christmas time is my best time of the year. During this time of the year it seems that people help others more by givin. Plus you get to see family and friends you don’t see on a regular bases. And how about all the good food, cookies, and candies. And most importantly, we celebrate the birth of our lord, Jesus. A lot of people lost the real meaning of Christmas, but I also feel that a lot of people still understand why we celebrate Christmas. So enjoy the day, and remember why we celebrate.

I have a few questions for all of you. Are your fed up with your hosting provider? Does your site have a lot of down time? And do you feel that your hosting provider could deliver much better customer service? If you answered yes to any of these questions you need to seek out another provider, fast.

If you’re business website constantly goes down it will cost you money, and customers. If you’re a site owner, business or personal, you know how hard it is to find reliable web hosting, which is very critical to your business. As most of you know, when your site goes down you just want to pull your hair out. You purchase a plan, your promissed up site time, then out it goes, drives me nuts. So do what I did, research, research, and research your next provider. Call them, talk to someone on the phone. Most of these providers don’t offer toll free numbers, but that’s not a big problem. They just want to reduce the calls for low level questions. To avoid phone charges, call from your cell phone. I know I’m running on here, but I can’t stess enough, call your provider, and research them. Good luck on your searches.

Over the last few weeks Facebook has been requesting that you review the new privacy terms. But now you no longer can move onto your page until you do complete the new update. With the new rules you get to do a little more tweaking your privacy. You can still remain closed to anyone outside your circle of friends, or open a few things to others. I think that’s pretty neat, but still would recommend to stay within your circle. There are just to many people out there looking to scam you. Opening up to others will open that door of trouble, it really will. Stay within your circle, make the right setting changes. By staying within your circle of friends will help keep the creeps away. If everyone remained as private as they can will help keep the creeps off Facebook, so think about that as well, remain private.

Most of you already know that I had problems with my web hosting services in the past. My sites would always go down for hours at a time. One time my sites went out for two days. I would send email after email and never got a response. As you can imagine this was very frustrating. And the thing that made me the maddest was I felt trapped. Because feeling trapped meant that I was going to need to start all over again. And I was also afraid of losing some of my site information. But I’m here to tell you not to be afraid and make the move if your hosting provider is failing you. The move wasn’t that bad at all, matter of fact it was pretty easy. So I did a little work and found a hosting provider where you can get reliable web hosting. The web hosting company I came across tonight can meet all your business needs. This web hosting site also offers some of the best ecommerce web hosting I’ve come across. And on top of providing all their great services, you can really depend on them. So don’t be affraid, do your research, and make the right choice.

Here we come again Afghanistan. The President of the United States is sending 30,000 more of us to clean up your country. I sure hope someday that you guy’s are truly grateful for what we’re doing for you. We’ve lost thousands of Americans to give you what we Americans believe in, freedom. We’re not there to take over Afghanistan, we’re there to free the country from people that want to rule over others, which is wrong. If sending 30,000 more troops from America, and more troops from other nations is what will close this war out I’m all for it. Over the last few years Afghanistan has been sliding backwards, it’s time to stop that, and give our troops there more help. President Barack Obama thinks we can get the job done in 18 months, I don’t know if that’s true or not, but giving a date makes no sense. I think we should have a set time, but don’t tell the enemy. Now that the enemy knows, they can just sit and wait until we’re gone. Hopefully it won’t come to that, and we get all the bad people.
