Spain edges Germany to reach final

2010-07-07T14:34:00.000-07:00

Carles Puyol soared high to head in the goal that sent Spain into the World Cup final for the first time with a 1-0 win over Germany on Wednesday.

In a rematch of the 2008 European Championship final that Spain won by the same score, Puyol leaped in the center of the area in the 73rd minute to score from Xavi Hernandez's corner kick, finally giving Spain the lead after having dominated from the opening whistle.

Spain's best previous World Cup finish was fourth in 1950, when the final round consisted of a four-team group.

In Sunday's final at Soccer City, Spain will meet the Netherlands, which has also never won football's biggest trophy.

Traveling to Las Vegas

2010-06-29T15:16:00.000-07:00

On June 16th I decided to take a road trip. I went to Los Angeles to pick-up my sister and cousin. I didn't know that Las Vegas was so close to Los Angeles. I took Highway 15 into Las Vegas. What a experience. Las Vegas was 100 degrees or above the whole week. What a change from the weather in Portland, Oregon. I felt I was in heaven for 5 days. there is soo much to see and do in sin town. We mostly walked Las Vegas strip and tried to visit as many casinos as possible. The food was outstanding. If you ever wanted to eat great sea food. Go to the Rio Casino .... all you can eat seafood. I think the price range is $29.00. All the seafood you can eat..is worth the $29 bucks. Can you say Lobsters,Shrimps,Clams,Salmon, and much more. What a treat, and the staff is outstanding. The Rio is a few blocks off the strip , but it's well worth the time and effort.

Never to old to attend College

2010-06-08T11:45:00.000-07:00

Congratulations to myself for attending College again. I've been granted regular admission to Warner Pacific College in Portland, Oregon. The Adult Degree Program is designed for working professionals to earn their Bachelor in Business Administration degree or other fields. Both of my kids are gone,and left the nest. My Son Isaiah is Attending the University of Oregon, and will be graduating in March 2011. So, I thought it will be great to finish what I started a long time ago. Education has always been high on my family values. Next, will be my daughter Brittney. Brittney just had a baby girl name "Aaliyah ", so I can give her a break. I know she will complete her course work. In the meantime, be safe and have a great day. "Sitting next to 20 year olds in college will be challenging but worth the effort and time".

Vick reinstated, but not free under Goodell

2009-07-28T12:49:00.000-07:00

The terms of Vick's conditional return for the 2009 season go far beyond any player punishment levied since Goodell became NFL commissioner almost three years ago. To Goodell, it wasn't enough that Vick already missed two full seasons while serving 19 months in a federal penitentiary for dog fighting. If he wants to play in the NFL again, Vick will have to live much of his private life the way Goodell wants him to lead it.

Steve McNair Shooting

2009-07-06T14:12:00.000-07:00

Steve McNair earned the respect of his fellow NFL players for shaking off defenders and injuries. That same blue-collar playing style won the love of fans amazed at how the quarterback kept showing up for work — and winning.
He endeared himself more with his charity work. Not just from the checks he handed out, but for throwing himself into the efforts, like he did when loading boxes onto tractor-trailers bound for Hurricane Katrina victims.Publicly, McNair was a happily married man and proud father of four sons who split his time between his Mississippi farm and a home in Music City, where celebrities are cherished, not hassled.
But when he was found shot to death on the Fourth of July with his 20-year-old girlfriend dead nearby, a darker side of his private life was suddenly thrust into the spotlight.

Building Home Business/ Nework Marketing

2009-07-02T14:16:00.000-07:00

Another day advertising my home business, and trying to get leads. Anyone having a hard time creating leads ? Affiliate programs are fun and easy to advertise, but finding a way to drive traffic to the links can be difficut. Have anyone used Traffic Swarm ? A great source to get traffic right away. What about Clickbank ? I think I'll start writing article's to promote the links ! any suggestions ? I'm quite skeptical of some programs on the internet but these two seem real.

Micheal Jackson

2009-06-29T10:14:00.000-07:00

Micheal Jackson a world class perfomer. He will be missed in the music world. Millions of followers. Over 300 million dollars given to charity. We should praise Micheal 40 years in the entertainment business and give him a true goodbye. I heard that there will be a global funeral for Micheal. Micheal father.... what a piece of work. I wished Micheal could've had a childhood. Maybe his life would have been different. This is a good example to parents.... let your kids fulfill their own dreams..... don't live through your kids... I think Joe Jackson wanted out of the Steel mill, and Micheal and his brothers was his meal ticket. God bless the "King of Pop" and let his soul rest in peace. Anyone want to share any additional comments. Did anyone see the BET Awards on Sunday night? What a tribute to Micheal.

NBA Basketball Draft

2009-06-25T14:11:00.001-07:00

I wonder what the Portland Trailblazers are going to do. Should they go after a point guard or trade for one? Do they bring in a Veteran player to help with toughness. What about Shaq going to Cleveland.... I bet that will make Mr. James.... Happy. That will probably change the Power in the East. Also, Richard Jefferson going to the Spurs... I like that move. I think the spurs will be in the hunt for their 5th title. My PortlandTrailblazers will have to keep pace... We moved up the draft today from 24th to 22nd. I think the owner Paul Allen is ready to spend some money.
