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.

Free video games!

Published by Joe under Entertainment, News, Technology, Video Games

Do you like to play video games? I do, and I play for free. How, you might ask. Well, if you watch TV at all, I know that you have seen the commercials for it. Gametap is where I get to play free video games. They have a wide variety of old arcade and old console games for free. To play these games all you have to do is download their player, install it, and play till you’re cross-eyed if you want. They also have newer games, but you’ll actually have to pay for those. The free games are worth it though. I have had a lot of fun playing the games from my childhood, and I know that you will too.

Tomato Fight!!!

Published by Joe under News, Uncategorized

Apparently every year there is a Tomatina festival held in Bunol Spain. Really all it is a bunch off people throwing tomatoes at each other, not just a bunch of people I’m talking about 40,000 people. All of them just throwing tomatoes at one another.

I found a video of this on Yahoo this afternoon, the question that came to my head was, I wonder if employers would let people off work for this day? Actually i bet the boss’ were there to.
