Sidney Crosby

Though the Penguins weren't doing so well in the earlier part of the 2000s, I still gave them my heart. I loyally watched each game. Even when they ended in heartbreak, I still wore my black and gold jerseys with pride. In the 2005 draft, the Penguins were lucky to have the first draft pick. They chose Sidney Crosby, an eighteen year old Canadian who was already being called 'The Next Great Thing'. Loyalty pays off! Sidney did to the Penguins what Terry Bradshaw did for the Steelers back in the 1970s.

Though the Pens had a dismal ending to their season that year, Sid the Kid was already an icon in Pittsburgh. Though others scoffed when he was named co-captain at the tender age of eighteen, he quickly had the naysayers zipping their mouths. He has collected many achievements in the five years he has been with the Penguins. He is the youngest captain to ever win a Stanley Cup for his team and he is the first rookie and youngest player to ever record 100 points in a season.

There are not enough good things to be said about this young man. He is an animal on the ice and a total gentleman everywhere else. Though I can't afford tickets to every game, I never miss one. When I can't go to a game, I am always watching him lead his team on my Directtv.

How to be Happy

I've been thinking a lot lately about being happy, and how to get there. I've lost a lot of weight lately, and while that has certainly helped my attitude and the way I think about myself, I still feel like I have a lot of work to do.

I've learned that happiness is really just a state of mind, and that there are different kinds of happiness. There's the fleeting happiness I get when I buy something I really want, like that TW Steel watch I've had my eye on. Then there is long-term happiness - which to me is more of an overall attitude in the way I approach daily life. This is what I have a hard time with. I feel like I get so caught up in everything I have to do every day that sometimes I forget to stop and enjoy the little things in life. I only just realized how much I'm missing.

I read something really interesting this weekend. Psychologists have identified some important areas that they say really impact a person's happiness. That's not to say that having or not having these things definitely determines if you will be happy or not. But they have found trends that point to general happy feelings and a positive approach to life. These things include having enough money, being healthy, having good friends and also things like spirituality and how involved you are with your community.

I've decided that I need to start by increasing my community involvement through volunteering. I'm healthy, I have enough money to take care of what I need, and I have fantastic friends. But I sometimes feel a little something missing in my life, and I think that if I can share some of the blessings I've received with others, I'll be happier.

Happy Birthday Mareng Niks

It's 22nd of November in Philippines, and I know this is an exceptional day for a special friend.

I am not sure if she is already back in Manila after the much awaited weekend vacation in Bohol. But I just want to wish a Happy Birthday my beloved kumareng Niks today. This gorgeous mommy is one of my treasured friends here in the blogging world. Words are not enough to describe on how our friendship had blossomed into a real one. Our profound bond just swiveled stronger each year, and I'm so grateful that we finally met when we paid a visit to Manila this summer.

I want to express my appreciation for all the things you've done to me, through good times and bad times notwithstanding. You are such a sweet friend whom I greatly valued. Hope you enjoy your birthday today. I missed you.

Video Converter for Mac - Now Converting Video Made it Easy

Being a Mac user, I often encounter this snag since I'm not a tech savvy person. Anytime I would like to put QuickTime videos or movies to multimedia players such as MP4. I simply have no clue precisely how to do this, since this kind of player does not support the MOV video format which basically bothers me a lot. In all honesty, I just love how great it is to be able to take pleasure in watching classic movie with my tot on the computer.

Continuously, I've believed that it's hopeless that I will be able to understand transferring movies to my old MP4 player. Therefore, I simply ignore it. However, out of my expectation, my hubby informed me the best solution soon after he found out that I was such a hot potato. So we bought this video converter called Imtoo Video converter for Mac, and it was truly helpful.

Providing you do the installation on your Mac notebook, it is possible to convert virtually any video format derived from one to another, just like MP4, MOV to AVI, M4V to MPG and many others. It was such a relief because it took me some time to figure out how to convert videos. Now, that I know how to use it, finding for an Ipad Video converter is like a breeze.

What I Do On My Lunch Hour

Just like many other people in the world, I work eight hours a day in an office. For eight hours, I sit at my desk and type away continuously like a zombie. Luckily, I do get a one hour lunch break that I look forward to everyday. My lunch break allows time for me to do what I want away from the stressful workplace.

There are a variety of activities I enjoy doing on my lunch break that I would like to share with you. One of my favorite things to do on my lunch break is to visit with my friends. One of my best friends does not work too far away from my office so we have enough time to swing by the local fast food joint, grab a sandwich, and chit chat about our lives.

On some days though, my best friend is busy so I like to hang out in the break room and visit with my coworkers. On the occasion where I do stay at the office, I will sometimes watch tvbydirect on my lunch break. If my friends are all busy and staying at the office does not sound appealing, I will go check out the local shopping mall that is close to my work. As long as my break includes not working, I am a happy camper.

Sweet, with just the Right Amount of Tart

I've never really had all that much of a sweet tooth before. I'm not sure why. People think that I'm some kind of freak because of it, but I've managed to live my life and still be okay with it. But i like things that are a little bit sour and tart instead, which means that there are some desserts that I really do like.

My mom emailed asking what I could contribute to the Thanksgiving dinner this year. Most of the time I just bring yeast rolls or something else I can buy at the grocery store but I decided to make something myself. When I was looking for some kind of dessert that I would like, I saw the site ClearwireInternet.com and decided to switch over my internet service to it after reading through all of it.

I found a recipe for lemon pie that I think that will be really good. I haven't really had any experience cooking any kind of pie. We'll see how this goes. I'm buying a pre-made pie crust so at least I have that going for the pie.

Most of us have noticed the latest craze of the advertising and marketing process, media and TV coverage. Therefore, the recognition involving DIY Superannuation is rising continuously even when the super choice system hasn't been available that long. And as a result, DIY Superannuation has become an absolute option for Aussie folks getting close to retirement.

Nowadays, average folks are now recognizing that a Government pension plan probably won't provide them with the best of life they desire in the years should they be not generating positive cash-flow. The necessity to make big savings for future years is a lot more than the usual hot subject. It has grown to be a huge wake up call to countless employees with minimal Superannuation savings.

Day after day, you go to work is but one day nearer to your retirement life. However, could you manage to stop working? Should you be struggling to stop working for a couple of months caused by health issues or accident, do you have the sufficient cash flow to aid yourself and your loved ones?

There are numerous resources available to assist you with your choices, just be sure you're gaining knowledge from somebody who has previously accomplished what you would like to attain.

Warriors Basketball

This October is the first year that I've ever bothered to watch preseason basketball. The reason? The Warriors picked up a slew of new players and are finally going to stop playing small ball with the retirement of their coach, Don Nelson.

With Nelson's retirement, I was looking forward to seeing new coach, Keith Smart's, player rotations, what style they would play under Coach Smart and whether he could get the new members of the team to fit in with the five remaining players from last years roster. Another thing I wanted to see was how all-star power forward David Lee and promising young small forward Dorell Wright, who both signed with the Warriors this off-season, would mesh with the other starting players (Monta Ellis, Stephen Curry and Andris Biedrins).

One area I was concerned with is the Warriors bench. After trading away most of their depth off the bench for Lee and letting go of key bench contributors Anthony Morrow and C.J. Watson in order to sign Wright, I wanted to see who Coach Smart trusted and who would be the first players off the bench. One player many fans are also anxious to see is Brandan Wright. The player who was traded for Jason Richardson has so far only seen 77 games in his 3 year career. Although a lot of questions still remain, it was great to get a small look at the preseason thanks to the satellite tv I got after researching direct tv vs dish.

Things You Need to Know About Managed Hosting

Managed web hosting is designed for almost any website owner who isn't knowledgeable about issues related to server management and supervision. Web servers are technical equipment that needs routine service to be able to perform effectively, and regrettably the majority of people simply don't hold the aptitude or perhaps the technical know-how to have their internet server working efficiently.

This is especially valid with regard to dedicated web hosting, which often may appear far more powerful compared to some other internet hosting plans since it offers the end user with total access to the whole web server. Managed web hosting is a form of dedicated hosting wherein the web hosting firm runs all operations of the web server and guarantees full overall performance continuously,.

Evaluating managed hosting options is obviously challenging, an excellent managed hosting solution can easily eliminate your entire problems, because you do not need to bother about system malfunction or other issues that could potentially cause a downtime. In particular, when it comes to a hardware breakdown, you are aware that your provider is dealing with the specific situation and doing the job to resolve the issue at the earliest opportunity. At least, you could have a peaceful of mind when facing this kind of problem in the future.

Moreover, there is another option which you can set your server devices in a secured facility, this methodology is called Colocation. In case you don't possess your own server tools, your provider generally provides a completely set up dedicated server for your web hosting requirements. Clients who utilize colocation services enable their application and hosting and expenses decrease. It minimizes management outlays and back-haul traffic costs.

A Comfy Couch

I'm not sure there is anything in the world more boring than going furniture shopping. Let me be clear in that I understand that it needs to be done, but man is it boring. I have had the same ratty old couch for the last 10 years not because I simply did not have the time to go out and get another one, I have had it this long because I like it and I hate furniture shopping.

My wife says that I need to go with her because she thinks that if she brings back a couch that I do not like she will never hear the end it. What she doesn't seem to understand is that unless the couch smells like patchouli or looks as though someone threw up on it to the point where I become uncomfortable sitting on it, I do not care what it looks like.

I would like something that is comfortable to lay on and that I can take a nap on, but is there a couch out there that doesn't already fit that requirement? If there is why would someone make something like that? No, I don't want to go but apparently I have to and after I get done writing this I am just going to grin and bear it. Once I'm done though the wife better realize I'm coming home and watching my bestchoicetv.

Watch Justice In Action For Satisfaction

If you're an analytical person and you enjoy true crime, there is no show that comes close to Forensic Files. If you get nauseous when you watch true crime shows, don't eliminate Forensic Files right away. Most people get nauseous because of what happens to the victims. This indeed is horrible and your physical reaction is 100% justifiable.

Nothing can be more disgusting than one person harming another for personal reasons. However, there is another aspect to this show that a lot of true crime shows don't offer. The criminal will be caught by the end of the show - every single time. Watching that man or woman be placed in cuffs and tossed into a police car, or better yet, sentenced to life in prison, is extremely satisfying. It shows that our technology has come so far that crime is actually on the decline despite a growing population.

Can you even comprehend how important this is? Where would we be without forensics? Can you imagine crime from the 70s in today's world? That would not be a good combination. Forensic Files is more than just a television show. In my opinion, it shows us how we're progressing as a human race. There are a variety of reasons why I watch Forensic Files on Free on Demand on my satellite tv that I got after comparing directv vs cable packages, but justice is easily the #1 reason.

Golf is a fantastic activity that evolves focus, commitment as well as dedication in its gamers. Nevertheless, some people are usually not instantly interested in the sport simply because it could be disheartening when getting started to learn on difficult courses.

There is nothing more effective than visiting Myrtle Beach golf courses and firing at the very least par for any skilled golf player. However, this case might be rather a little overwhelming for somebody who has merely settled on this sport activity. For this reason, what is suggested to the beginner player as the perfect golf course to spend time playing prior to be able to learn about tougher golf courses?

The best conditions for novice golfers are always to play on a mock golf course. This type of course might include a lesser number of holes such as somewhere between 6 to 9 holes and often short in the range. Lesser holes will be a starting stage rather than to spend too much time on the golf course.

Once you are getting the hang of it, you can try to play in the actual course and start looking for golf packages. The best source is to browse through http://www.myrtlebeachgolf.net which provide plenty of information about the Myrtle Beach golf courses, tee times as well as the huge discounts for hotel accommodations.
