Ghostbusters 3

Published by Joe under Entertainment, News, Uncategorized

That’s right, I said it Ghostbusters 3!!  Apparently the script is being written right now. I know the first question you asked, will it be the original cast? Well that’s one question i can not answer at this time.

The script is being written by Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg, a couple of writers from The Office. They have won Emmy’s for their writing on that show. It has been almost 25 years since the first one had came out, lets hope that everything goes well and its out soon.

Gustav’s Aftermath

Published by Joe under Environment, Insurance, Maps, Money, News, Real Estate

Five days after Hurricane Gustav made landfall the estimated damages are up to 10 billion dollars. This is a lot lower than originally expected because as the hurricane moved over land it fortunately went from a category 4 to a category 1 storm. Many people were worried that this storm was going to be as bad as Hurricane Katrina which did 41 billion dollars in damages. Unfortunately, this is only good news comparatively as insurance rates for coastal cities will continue to rise due to Hurricane season just starting.

People from effected areas will have to be evacuated as storms get stronger and will continue to have to determine what kind of damage has effected their homes. When Katrina was over and residents returned to their homes the debate became whether wind, flood or rain damage was to be paid by the insurance companies. Home-owner’s insurance covers the wind and rain damage, while the flood damage is paid by flood-insurance policies. To learn more on the rising insurance rates and what they mean to you visit USA Today’s site. So, to all the residents of coastal cities this hurricane season: Good Luck! You are going to need it.

Chrome Google!?

 Google has released a new web browser called Chrome. It is being marketed towards Internet explorer users. I haven’t had a chance to download it and try it for myself yet, but I’m downloading it now. Apparently Chrome browser displays thumbnails of a user’s most-visited pages when a new tab is opened, rather than a blank page.

 Also it does away with most of the menu bars and tool icons to give you more screen room, and they have intergrated the adress bar and search bar, which also saves room. I will post more blogs on this once i have my own opinions.

New Orleans Under Pressure

Published by Joe under Environment, Maps, News

A massive hurricane is headed directly for New Orleans and residents are advised to evacuate. Sound familiar? Well, it’s not a hurricane named Katrina, it’s a hurricane named Gustav, and it’s happening right now. Three years to the day that Katrina ravaged the Gulf coastline. In fact, right now, New Orleans is feeling the first drops of rain.

There are other differences besides just the name of the storm though, people are actually leaving. Residents of New Orleans turned out in the thousand today at bus stations to leave their beloved city. Most of the people interviewed said that after Katrina they were not going to take any chances. For more in depth coverage go to The Weather Channels Homepage.

Considering A Personal Loan?

Published by Joe under Business, Maps, Money, News, Technology

For most of my life, my parents house has been in a constant state of flux. Every few years they would start a new project to make our house better. They have completed three additions, a porch that wraps around one half of the house,  covered part of that porch, then turned it into another whole room.The only way that this was possible was through several Personal Loans.

The last time that they wanted to improve their home I asked them if I could look around on the web and see if I couldn’t find a better deal for them. That is when I ran into the site for Personal Loans Leader. This is a site that connects the user with nationwide loans that are available for all credit types. A Personal Loan can be used for anything you need it for, from home renovations, like my parents, to pay bills, or to start a new business. The best part about this site is that there is no obligation to accept the loan if you are approved! So, if you need a little money for any reason this is the site to visit.
