Saddler

This week Pittsburgh Steelers player Joey "I have a big mouth" Porter did some trash talking against the Indianapolis Colts offense. Joey Porter seems to have a problem that the Colts audible in attempt to confuse their opponents. Porter doesn't feel that it's real football.

Joey Porter is not thinking with a full deck. Of course NFL teams will try and confuse their opponents. It's part of the game. the Colts are run by a smart football coach and their Quarterback Peyton Manning is a talented and smart player.

Maybe Porter is afraid that he doesn't have the smarts to play against the Colts. Maybe the Colts are too smart for him. He might like to think with his biceps but the Colts think with their brains.

I also think Porter is not being a team player. Many NFL players hate when their teammates trash talk their opponents. If I was his teammate I would be extremely upset with him.

Why would you trash talk your opponent, especially when they're the best team in the AFC? The only answer that I can think of is that Porter isn't the brightest person. He may have physical talent but he's in dire need of a brain that fires on all cylinders. Porter is a disgrace to the NFL, his team, and all athletes.

I'm starting to get sick of players like Porter. I want to see players perform on the field and not act like clowns off the field. Now when I think of Joey Porter, he reminds me of a clown. I can't take him seriously anymore.

I hope that Indianapolis destroys the Steelers tomorrow. I would have hoped for the Steelers but I can't stand what Porter said. I'll support the smart team on Sunday.

The Bridge is Love is a beautiful but heart-rending story about a how a family dealt with the tragic loss of their four year old son. Scotty died in a car accident. The story is written from both the parents perspective of how they dealt with their grief and in a fictionalized account from Scottys perspective as an angel. When a young child dies tragically, the grief of the parents and family members runs very deep. Dr. Mayhall hung on to hope and her faith in God that Scotty lives on in heaven.

As Dr. Mayhall went through the stages of grief, she found positive things to do to help her deal with the pain and make a difference for others. She also became involved with The Compassionate Friends Network and was able to reach out to other people to help them through their grief.

I highly recommend this book to families that are grieving from the loss of a loved one. It will help you to know that the horrible feelings that you are experiencing are normal. Dr. Mayhall writes about how hard it is to be a parent and lose a child. Parents tend to feel like they did something wrong, or didnt do something that they were supposed to, when their child goes first. You learn that this is something bad that happens, but not to blame God for it. God is what helps you through this time. In this story, Scotty also meets with Jesus and Jesus helps him understand that Jesus is helping his family through their healing.

If you have experienced the loss of a child, this story will give you hope and help you with your healing.

Here's the short lesson on blood stain removal: act fast. Carpets today usually come with stain-resistant treatments, so even blood can be removed if you get it right away. The longer the delay, the more difficult removing any carpet stain becomes, and there are no stain-proof carpets yet. With blood, the process of coagulation makes it especially hard to get the stain out if it is old and dried.

Step-By-Step Blood Stain Removal

1. Rinse and extract the blood stain with cold water. Apply just a little at a time, so you don't spread the stain. Hot water can set the stain, making it permanent, so use only cold water. Add the water, then blot it up with a clean white cloth or white paper towels. You can also suck the solution out with a shop-vac, which means less of a chance of spreading the stain.

2. Remove the remaining stain with a solution of a few drops of Dawn dish washing detergent in a cup of cold water. Work it into the blood stain, but be careful not to spread the stain. Blot the area with a clean white cotton cloth or white paper towels, but don't rub the stain, as this can damage the fibers. Damaged fibers hold stains and get stained in the future more easily.

3. Repeat the process as many times as is necessary, or until there is no more transfer of the stain from the carpet to the cloth or paper towels. Then blot up excess water when you are done.

4. Leave the fan blowing on the area to dry it quickly. Otherwise, set a stack of paper towels (white) on the stained area, or a couple clean white cotton cloths, and put something heavy on them. Leave this to blot up the remaining liquid, replacing the cloth or paper towels as necessary. Fast drying keeps any remaining stain deeper in the carpet from "wicking up" to the surface and becoming visible again.

Some have reported good luck using club soda to remove blood stains, so if the above instructions don't work, you can try that next. It's not easy to predict which stains will come out and which won't until you try. This is because of various types of carpet fibers and other factors. For example, wool and other natural fibers are usually more difficult to remove stains from. As with all stains, use water first before trying other solvents for blood stain removal.

You can make a fortune in business without really trying, however, most people do nothing of the kind. Many more people try really hard and make little or nothing. Why does this happen. In many cases its because although they work hard, they fail to work smart. They expend far too much effort for meager returns. Perhaps this is you. Youve tried everything. Online business, offline business, eBay, you name it, youve tried it. Why has nothing worked?

It doesnt matter weather you are just beginning a home based business or have been running a business for years, there are certain things you must do in order to become successful. The first is planning. Its often been said that those that fail to plan, plan to fail. Do a business plan. A good business plan will cover all aspects of your business. It should include your service or product line, your marketing plan and a timeline for the future. You should have a good financial plan as well. Where will your revenue come from? Where will it go?

Do you need capital to begin or expand your business? If you plan on seeking financing, either from conventional sources, such as banks, or other sources such as private investors, they will want to see how you plan to spend their money. This will help them evaluate your chances of success. After all, your ability to repay the loan or increase the value of their shares depends upon how you will be using their money.

A business plan will also enable you to plan for contingencies so you can effectively deal with them. The more you can plan for risk, the better you will be able to mitigate them. You dont want to be waylaid by something unexpected that could cost you dearly. Youll never be able to anticipate all business problems, but you can plan for as many as possible.

The next thing you need to do is execute your plan effectively. Many great plans, in business, sports and war have been undone by poor execution. Youll probably need to make changes to your business plan due to unforeseen circumstances or opportunities. These are similar to the halftime adjustments made by a football coach. Its often the coach or business owner who makes better adjustments that is the most successful.

The third thing you must do is test everything. You should test your marketing and advertising to determine what gives you the best R.O.I. If you are doing pay per click advertising or other online advertising, you have an advantage in that you can very quickly see the results of any changes you make. Youll probably see big differences from small changes. For example, headlines can often give very different results from just one or two word differences. The only way youll know is through rigorous testing. Test different product mixes to see what sells the best to your market. Do lots of research and find a good niche to market to and then test, test, test.

These three things, planning, execution, and thorough testing combined with the resultant changes, can make you a fortune in your business. Failure to do any of these things properly can limit your profit and chances for ultimate success.

A western themed party could be the perfect idea for your next special event. Whether its a birthday party, an anniversary or retirement, follow a cowboy/ cowgirl theme. For an outdoor party, hay bales can be turned into a wonderful accessory. They can serve as extra seating benches and the mess wont be a concern since youre outside. Place coffee cans around like old fashioned spittoons.

A great party favor would be a plastic cowboy hat for each child or adult. Mini plastic toy guns can also add to the ambience for Western guests. Use the construction paper to complete a cowboy costume. Cut out stars personalized with Sheriff Tommy or whatever the guests name is on the badge. Cut out holsters, spurs, chaps or anything you can think of and then simply attach with safety pins to create a quick and easy costume.

Depending on the size of your budget, live animals can add excitement to your party. You can only imagine the thrill of child getting a surprise pony ride or getting to pet a horse. Hire someone to play the role of a bad guy and let them walk around in all black.

As with any party, the food is always one of the main attractions. With this type of theme you can serve what they would have on a chuck wagon or on the ranch: baked beans, jerky and coleslaw. Modern conveniences like hamburgers, hot dogs and condiments can also be snuck in! Get fancy and roast shish- ka- bobs over an open fire. If children are old enough, let them roast their own hot dogs over the fire. Activities like this are sure to create a memorable day.

Party supply stores will have all the accessories you need to finish off your theme party: plates, cups, napkins and decorations. Get moving pardner and invite some guests today.

Perusing fly fishing articles is a great way to learn more about the passion of fly fishing. The library of fly fishing literature rivals other forms of fishing even though in sheer numbers fly fisherman are out numbered by almost all other forms of fishing. There are terms in fly fishing literature that are thrown out frequently without explanation or definition. One such subset of these terms is the classification of fly fishing rivers. One can read for years and hear about freestone rivers, tailwaters, and spring creeks, without elaboration of what these terms actually mean in general and to fly fishers in general. We will attempt here to explain these classifications a little bit. This first in a series of articles will go into the spring creek.

Spring Creeks are infamous in the United Kingdom, long credited as the ancient birthplace of fly fishing. Specifically, in the UK and the Midwest United States, are the limestone spring creeks. By definition spring creeks are fed obviously by springs. What this means for fly fishing is that the water temperature will most likely remain stable year around, ideally in the high forties to low fifties on the Fahrenheit scale. Stable temperatures allow for a healthy environment for aquatic insects to grow, which doesn't take a huge amount of mental power, to make the jump to the thought that this is also great for the growth of fish.

Not only do the water temperatures remain steady but the volume does as well. Unlike other rivers that depend upon snow melt, and/or dams, spring creeks water comes bubbling up from the surface, and is fed by springs and smaller spring creeks as it works itself downstream.

When one thinks of spring creeks, one thinks of, meandering hills, gentle slopes, meadows, and wide shallow valleys. Although spring creeks can occur in mountainous regions as well, carving out a niche that is usually reserved for freestone streams. They typically are at lower elevations.

The characteristics of spring creeks, leads to some special considerations when selecting your arsenal of fly fishing flies. The meandering of the typical spring creek, with all its stable features lends also to vegetation growth. Therefore insects that feed of vegetation are the rule here. Also the banks tend to be cut into the earth, perfect habitat for mud dwelling grubs, worms and nymphs like the hex. There also tend to be abundance of scuds, sow bugs, as well as midge patterns. Since the terrain is likely grassy, look for terrestrials like hoppers and crickets. And in the riverbank itself will be ants and beetles. Terrestrials make a good bet all summer long. A good selection for spring creeks will include, patterns imitating species above, as well as some small classic dry flies, like Adams, BWOs and PMDs.

Spring creeks are likely to be small and certain tactics need to be remembered. Everything is more likely to be noticed by your wary prey. Including your approach, your colors, your silhouette. It is best not to wade, it is best to approach from upriver, and you are likely only going to get a few casts, and then moving on is your best bet. With gentle gradient the spring creek will have many, many holding areas for trout. Using tippet down to 7x is common, as is long leaders. Perfect presentations are required, and it is a great time to practice your accuracy and line management. Bring your 4x or smaller for precise fly placement, mending if necessary must be done early in your drift and without ruckus.

Many think of the spring creek as the epitome of fly fishing. And with good reason. Their very nature, evokes relaxation, tranquillity, and all the things fly fishers love.

This week Pittsburgh Steelers player Joey "I have a big mouth" Porter did some trash talking against the Indianapolis Colts offense. Joey Porter seems to have a problem that the Colts audible in attempt to confuse their opponents. Porter doesn't feel that it's real football.

Joey Porter is not thinking with a full deck. Of course NFL teams will try and confuse their opponents. It's part of the game. the Colts are run by a smart football coach and their Quarterback Peyton Manning is a talented and smart player.

Maybe Porter is afraid that he doesn't have the smarts to play against the Colts. Maybe the Colts are too smart for him. He might like to think with his biceps but the Colts think with their brains.

I also think Porter is not being a team player. Many NFL players hate when their teammates trash talk their opponents. If I was his teammate I would be extremely upset with him.

Why would you trash talk your opponent, especially when they're the best team in the AFC? The only answer that I can think of is that Porter isn't the brightest person. He may have physical talent but he's in dire need of a brain that fires on all cylinders. Porter is a disgrace to the NFL, his team, and all athletes.

I'm starting to get sick of players like Porter. I want to see players perform on the field and not act like clowns off the field. Now when I think of Joey Porter, he reminds me of a clown. I can't take him seriously anymore.

I hope that Indianapolis destroys the Steelers tomorrow. I would have hoped for the Steelers but I can't stand what Porter said. I'll support the smart team on Sunday.
