Nice start for the Vols!!!
How do you explain the first half? Fumbles and interception. My middle school football team has a better program than WKU. ;D

Ready for saturday
If you didn't want brag about it, you wouldn't have listed their facts. ;D I'm convinced that my middle school has a better football program than Western Kentucky. My god they are totally giving Tennessee the ball as if Kiffin paid the players to do so.

Ready for saturday
College football fans, are you ready for Saturday night fight between Alabama and Virgina Tech? Lot of crap has happen at Alabama recently, meanwhile, just recently NCAA cleared Julio Jones and Mark Ingram for Saturday's game, and Brandon Deaderick will not play. Well, Hokie's fan are you ready for nice match up? I'm really concern about Alabama's offense of line and distractions, but hopefully this will be a great football game that will go down as one of most exciting game ever played on opening weekend. http://espn.go.com/blog/sec/post/_/id/2486/deadericks-return-a-welcome-sight-for-tide P.S. about the Courtney Upshaw's incident, news say the woman dropped charge, and the woman's father said "it was my daughter's fault" or something. So I don't know what deal was with that mess.

What a read.
I bought this book back in spring, but read 3 chapters and got side-tracked. I pick it back up off my book case last week and read it from front to back. Probably one of best economic/finance type book I have ever read. Give it a read if you want something to read. http://search.barnesandnoble.com/A-Demon-of-Our-Own-Design/Richard-Bookstaber/e/9780471227274 This guy tells story of everything we built to attempt make risk small, or built to achieve better market outcome, has in fact made things worse. Great read.

Really? Some guy I know saw it last night, and claimed it's "terrible". He said some of it was in french? Maybe that was theater's fault.

Good way to have fun and really tick off the wife
My dad and I bought airsoft guns and had a battle royal. Those suckers hurt if it hits bare skin. Can you imagine a 19 year old and 44 year old walking around house blasting hell out of each other with airsoft guns? Youth never dies. ;D Mother got mad when she swept floor afterward and found bunch of ammo....

USA TODAY Coaches Poll
Don't argue with a person from the bayou. ;D I'm an SEC fan and I see your argument is to brag on your school winning 3 titles in a row not the conference as a whole, (Even if you want argue on appy state conference, the conference itself won 3 in a row.) Catt, I might be illiterate, but somewhere above I must have missed Davis statement about Appy state will beat any team the SEC send to Boone. Unfortunately he didn't claim that. Catt his point is, his school won 3 in a row in their respective league and conference. he believes that a greater bragging right. LSU never won 3 national title in a row, so thus, you cannot counter-argue that. Only the SEC as a whole won 3 in a row. Capisce? ;D P.S. Catt, Alabama domination in 60s and 70s is far more greater achievement than LSU ever had in their history of football.

Health Insurance Rant
Insurance company gambles on us like we gamble on option security (especially if you do a buy-write). Not just health insurance, but home, auto, etc. It was never design to cover all your emergency expense, it was design to lower the overall shell shacking of your bank account. For instance, if your house caught on fire and it cause you lose nearly 90% of your savings account asset to cover the cost of rebuilding, however, with insurance it was design to lower that loss. You was going lose money one way or another, but you would be better off than 90% loss. That was idea behind insurance. It tangle web we weave in this world. I do agree with Moby Bass for most part. It just seems like supply and demand is not big issue with health, it just more of a long line of cost that are tied up to the health care industry. 300 million American in need of some form of health care and doctors paying 100,000.00 or more in students loans..Yeah there pretty big incentive keep price high, not mention the cost of research, and to pay off money borrow from researching, etc. It a messy business. Also, it not just insurance trying to rape you, the hospitals themselves are trying to make a profit too.

You just never know who is in the crowd
Yeah, I got some rich friends who are very laid back and hardly even speak about their wallet. He same guy that had 8 bedroom house in very exclusive neighborhood in my town, he sold it just have a small condo, He thought house was too big. Some rich people are normal and laid back and could careless what in their bank account. Some are just plain snobby.

Gatlinburg suggestions
Yeah a whole year to plan, I just like to be prepared and and have plenty of time to save up extra $$ for special activities too. If you never been to Galtinburg, you are in for a treat. Lot of activities, and lot of things to do. I live 30 miles from it. It fun to be there in winter time, cold air, snowy mountains, and hot cocoa. While you are in Galtinburg, when you not fishing of course, may I recommend, hiking up Clingman Dome? It in Smoky Mountain National Park, and when you get to top, there an observation tower, and you cannot see the bottom, too much smog and fogs, and etc. It a treat.

AIG
Well, when you said "opinion" it seems you tried to discredit me. I have no incentive to be a stockbroker, thus, I have no reason to make any recommendation, (if I was making a recommendation, I wouldn't post it on a public forum, I got to eat you know?) For future reference, I'm not making stock recommendation, I'm making observations Please see a CFP or stockbroker for that. Although, I wouldn't let 2 economic class fool you (which I made a B and an A in). Financial Market is one of my pet peeve. You be amaze at what one dillhole could learn by reading books and investopedia.com Not only that, I got the cojones to manage my own portfolio without any professionals advice. (if you are a CFP or stockbroker, I apologized for using a cheaper method.) G'day, moot.

Gatlinburg suggestions
There are guides on both Douglas and Cherokee. I fish them both regularly. There plenty of fly fishing stream up in Cosby (right next to Galtinburg) or you can drive about 15 miles to nearest landing for Douglas. In August, fishing be pretty tough, so I recommend night fishing and early morning fishing for top water will yield plenty of result. Douglas is notoriously famous for smaller fish. Many of tournaments I fished on Thursday night usually takes 7 pounds to win. You can expect lot of fish to be caught early in morning, but I wouldn't have an high expectation for big fish during that time of year.

I'm not offended or anything by your comment, but everything above is err fact.. And I'm not offering any public recommendation, I'm simply making a post about an observation I've been watching half the day. Actually I notice this yesterday, but didn't bother pay attention to it until today. So, you can wait on roadwarrior post for no reason at all, or just simply be marvel by speculations at work. Speculators believe the earning going to beat the analyst expectation... G'day, mate.

After I took my Economic exam this morning I've been eating a banana pop and watching this stock move up and down...I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Yesterday the stock went from 13.00-22.00 60% gain. I'm not touching that. I cannot believe after the bailout this stock went up that fast.

Want a book?
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?isbn=0073511269&itm=1 Anyone want buy it? I have it for sell, if no one buys it I probably throw it in closet. None of the other web sites like textbookcenter, barnes noble, and other legit textbook websites are currently not buying this book. Only way I can sell is if I post it on Amazon or Ebay and hope some buyer respond to my ad. Figure someone on here might want an economic book for their own enjoyment and knowledge. I sell it for 40.00, so I can make a contribution to my new books for fall semester. P.S. If your a college student, check see if your school is using this book, I sell it to you $10-15 cheaper than buyback price and let you sell it to them for $10-15 profit. Which buy you 3 packs of worms or about 3 meals at Taco Bell. (depending on your consumption level)

Alright college students let start suing.
I'll try to remember that. Good thing about my accounting courses my professors are CPA's. So hopefully since my school small, and it easy get professor help and could get recommendation from them to other CPA's or if a CFP they might know could use my help. My economic professor a CFP and he told me he work with CPA's, and the CPA will steer clients to him for more advice on investment and CPA will take care of taxes. He told me if I become CPA it be wise to partner up with stockbrokers, CFP, etc and they will help steer clients my way or pay for some of my service for their clients if I promise do same to them.

Alright college students let start suing.
I was wondering the same thing. Not gonna lie, I did not have the best attendance record in undergrad. As a matter of fact, after the first year of grad school I was voted most likely to skip class. I guess since she can't land a job, I have no chance. Now, who can I sue??? I remember one class in my last semester that was Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays. I ONLY went to class on Fridays because we had weekly quizzes. The rest of the classes were useless. I got 90s or 100s on the quizzes anyway. I ended up with a B in that class, although it was sociology so it's not like it's that hard. Some of my professor keeps attendance....If you missed like 3 days with unexcused they take points off your grade. My friend had A average on test in speech and made a C, because he skip some days LOL. My Biology lab, if you missed a day you got 5 points taken off. (lab was only 1 day a week.) Most professor will not follow the college. Oh well, I mean if someone going pay me go college, I guess I might as well show up, otherwise why bother signing up? Oh well. There was one day I wasn't ready for test so I skipped it called my professor that I was "sick" and I made it up another day and made a B. I really wasn't prepare for it first time lol.
