Hypnotism!!!

Guest post from: Kent Lara

I logged onto directstartv.com and updated our cable package. I have started watching this show on NBC called , “Prime Suspects”. The main character is Maria Bello, I started watching her and really liking her when she was a doctor on the hospital drama, “ER”. One thing that was really interesting on the crime show, that it different from a lot of the other crime shows is that they use a hypnotist to interview witnesses. It is actually pretty cool. During one hypnotism, one guy completely recites one of the inning of a game he was watching and then provides information about the exact time that he heard a shooting and also gives detailed information about the shooter that he saw. Apparently, under hypnotism, you recite things that you don’t even remember at the conscience level. It makes me wonder if police officers really use this tactic and if it really works. I have always been interested in crime show and detective stuff. I don’t think that I could ever be a detective because I can’t stand the sight of blood, but it really sounds like a lot of fun!

How Much Time Online?

Thanks for the guest post by Donn Schroeder

I’m trying to figure out how much time online is too much for my kids and luckily they haven’t made it too hard so far. They’re wonderful as they are but since we recently got satellite internet broadband at home I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t putting them in a position that made it hard for them to keep track of how much time they were using the internet and how much they were spending outside and on school work. I don’t really want to have to impose really hard time limits on anything since I want them to trust me but I’m kind of at a loss…does anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking that 1 hour of web time a night is probably sufficient for each of them but I don’t really have any idea if that’s too much or too little. I love the boys to death and the last thing I want is to stifle them socially or allow them to get addicted to the internet!

What About Gold Rush Alaska?

This guest post from Alice Wall

Every Friday night I cannot wait for Gold Rush Alaska to start on the Discovery channel on my Todd Hoffman. Todd is a big, and bulky guy he just has a mean look to him. He has a job to do and takes this job very seriously. When the rest of the crew are not doing their job, and are just goofing around trying to have fun Todd will get on them to start doing their jobs.

The reason the show is on the Discovery channel is that it gives viewers a sense of what it was like for the viewer's ancestors. During the California Gold Rush many people rushed to California in search of gold, and if they were lucky enough to find gold they were able to cash in on the gold. Many people who find gold today are able to cash in on the gold, and are able to become quite wealthy. Gold Rush Alaska is a program that builds excitement.

Did You Hear About the Zoloft Lawsuit?

Archie Brown had not thought of the thalidomide babies for a long time. The best Archie remembered, the drug was used for contraception back in 60s and 70s. And then it was discovered that thalidomide users who later had children often had children with serious deformities and other handicaps.

The thing that had sparked Archie's memories of those babies was an item he was reading promoting O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath – Personal Injury Lawyers – 808 West Avenue, Austin, TX. 78701 – 512-494-9949. But the culprit drugs these days appear to be antidepressants, some of the very popular over the last few years.

It seems as though the Austin law firm is working on a big Zoloft Lawsuit. There is some evidence that Zoloft, as well as some other antidepressants currently on the market, have contributed to children being born with some of the same maladies as those thalidomide babies four decades ago.

Such reports cause Archie to shake his head in wonder about the wisdom of approving drugs without recognizing the potentially devastating side effects can be generated. And it makes him hope that no one he knows who is still in childbearing years is taking any of those drugs these days.

Super Bowl Party

Thanks for the post from Barney Crosby

As a child, I can remember the long expectation of the coming of Santa Claus and the endless wait for Christmas. Easter was another one and the long awaited search for Easter eggs and then the wait for Halloween, and the prospect of bags of sweet treasures. Adults are not immune to expectations and although our tastes may have changed from Hersey's kisses and gumballs to foamy beer and wine, the prospect of Super Bowl Sunday is foremost in my thoughts during the last days of January.

When hosting a Super Bowl party, I like to do a little more than fill the ice chest with beer and cut cheese for assorted crackers. Hardy food must be provided for the viewers and if one's culinary skills are in question, orders of pizza and wings will go! well with the gridiron crowd. The more food the better and potato and tortilla chips should be served with a stunning variety of dips to help soak up the alcohol that will be consumed whether the favorite team is winning or losing.

As more and more women are becoming diehard football fans, they can be enlisted to prepare a delicious Super Bowl cake in the form of a football or the 'home' teams logo. Prepare the food, chill the beer, turn on Cannonsatellite TV and watch the Super Bowl

Did You Hear about the Dip You Recall?

Archie Brown's stepmother had a hip replacement procedure done a few months ago, and she has been having some difficulty with pain and swelling. So Archie took notice when it was announced in August that there was a recall of 93,000 hip replacement units by the Depuy Orthopedic, a subsidiary of the Johnson & Johnson Corporation. He called his stepmother to find out if he knew what brand of unit had been placed in her hip, but she said she did not. Archie urged her to contact her doctor and find out.

A couple of weeks later Archie saw a commercial on television by Depuy recall attorney. It reminded him that he had not heard from his stepmother about her situation. So he called her again and found out that she had not yet gotten around to making the phone call to her doctor. Archie urged her very strenuously to make that call.

Did You Hear about the Pitching Matchup?

Archie Brown is very excited to hear that the pitching match up for game one of the World Series is between Tim Lincecum of the Giants and Cliff Lee of the Texas Rangers. the Giants' righty has one the previous two Cy Young awards in the National League, and has been on fire during the playoffs. Cliff Lee has never been beaten in postseason play. Archie thinks this could be one pictures' duel for the ages.

Did You Hear about the World Series?

The World Series begins tonight in San Francisco. Archie Brown is very excited about the fact that new faces will be in the series this year, and not the New York Yankees. It has been eight years since the Giants represented the National League in the series, and this is the first time ever for the Texas Rangers to appear in the World Series. It should be an exciting time for everyone, and Archie will be in his lazy boy for every pitch.

Did You Hear About The Price of Gold???

Archie Brown was watching the news a couple of days ago when the price of gold was announced to be the highest in history, well over $1300 per ounce. Archie is very seriously considering an investment in gold. He knows that the precious metal has been very consistently valuable, that it has traditionally improved one's purchasing power and preserved one's wealth.

Archie thinks he will first purchase gold coins, which are both valuable and beautiful. He likes that he could not only enhance his portfolio, but could also enjoy displaying a collection of gold coins. But Archie knows that others might prefer the convenience of having and independent depository house their investment in a safe manner that give them peace of mind.

Did You Hear About Groupon???

Archie Brown is always ready to take advantage of a good deal, at least on things he will use or enjoy. He recently discovered the website called Groupon. They work with local merchants to present big discounts on attractive products and services. If enough people sign up for the deal, everyone gets the benefit. Archie supposes that the deals are intended by the merchants to generate traffic and new customers. Groupon is available in many cities across the country.

Archie has bought a Groupon for $200 dollars of merchandise in a furniture store for $50, a night in a hotel for less than half the listed price and a pass to a children's playland at 60% of regular price. Archie would like to enourage his friends to take advantage as well.

Did You Hear About My TV Disappoints?

Archie Brown is an avid baseball fan, especially of the Houston Astros. He has always made sure that his television provider carries the Astros' games, even the home games. Archie has used cable and two different satellite providers. He is currently aggrivated that Dish Network is feuding with Fox Sports Houston. The last game of the Astros season was not shown on television because of the squabble. Now the Big 12 football games are in jeopardy of not being shown this week.

Archie is not a happy camper!
