Above-Ground Pool Deck

In backyards across America, above-ground pools are become more popular then ever. Its easy to see why they are so popular; they are affordable, quick and easy to instal, and require minimal maintenance. They are great for those hot summer months and can be enjoyed by every member of your family.

To get the most enjoyment out of your above-ground pool you should install a wood deck that surrounds it. You will never have to climb a pool ladder, and the deck will create a gathering place for family and friends to enjoy. A deck provides you a place to sit with your feet dangling in the cool water, sunbathe, or even dine at poolside.

Like anything else in the world, you get what you pay for, so choosing a proffessional installer with good sound structural design and matterials will provide longevity to your deck.  The syle and contractor will affect the appearance of your home and pool for the next 10 to 25 years so investigate before deciding. An above ground pool deck will extend your outdoor living space while providing your family with endless fun year after year.

Whats involved in maintaining a hot tub?

Many people look at the long list of hot tub chemicals that are available to maintain a hot tub and get overwhelmed. It is true that there are a wide array of chemicals to choose from, however with a little practice, keeping your hot tub or spa clean and safe to use, is actually quite simple.

The basic chemical used in regular hot tub chemical maintenance is chlorine. If for any reason you do not want to use chlorine, there are now alternatives! Bromine is a popular choice to chlorine. It provides the same clean and clear water, without the smell of chlorine. Bromine also comes in a tablet form like chlorine, or in a granule form, if you prefer that.

Personally i prefer to use the cartridge form. This is a little more advanced system that newer hot tubs are equipped with. You simply set the dial and insert the cartridge. The cartridge will last anywhere from 30 days, to 60 days depending on the use of your tub.

Some other chemicals that come in handy to use are, spa bright, which is a weekly additive that is used to keep your hot tub water clear as can be. You can also use a chemical called scum out that will get rid of the scummy colored bubbles you may see clinging to the sides of your spa. It is important to shock your tub weekly, and to watch the PH levels to make sure they are in balance. Other than this, change your water every 3 months, and have fun!

Kamchatka Bears eat guards

It has been reported from Russia that kamchatka bears ate some people. Now keep in mind that just about any bear can be dangerous because they are enormous and powerful. Well according to reports from Russia, there were some guards at a mine, and a large group of hungry bears attacked and ate them.

With any type of extreme circumstances an animal will do what it has to to survive. You never want to cross a hungry bear, let alone a group fo them that are starving. This is truly sad, and has caused the mines to be unaccessible until they can find a way to avoid the bears.

WNBA Brawl:Wnba Fight Site Youtube.com

This is one of the funniest things I have seen in a while. Its the WNBA fight people got on youtube. Now I am not a big fan of the WNBA because it just seems boring, but I think if they want to get more people watching they should just have a fight every game. I am joking of course, but think about this for a moment. You are probably here to see that fight. If there were more of them people would be watching the games simple as that.

Sandra Sibi Blazic

You may remember earlier a few days ago Christian Bale was getting into some trouble with authorities. Well a lot of people are brining up Sandra Sibi Blazic as a potential issue. Now I really have no clue whats going on with the Bale and Sandra Sibi Blazic marriage, and thats between them, but it seems like other people do. How can you gauge a persons marriage if you are not right amongst them all the time listening to their conversations?

Sandra Sibi Blazic to begin with used to be a makeup artist that worked with Winona Ryder as her personal makeup assistant, and thats all good and dandy, but now that Batman has come out and all the attention is on Bale, it seems everyone around him gets the floods of it too. Isn’t it silly how this works?

Sam Adams utopias

The Sam Adams utopias beer is one that I don’t think a lot of people will understand unless they are beer drinkers, and can appreciate beer. First of all there is no way I personally am going to pay the price on one of these things at 130 dollars per 24 oz. bottle, which is just crazy for a beer. A lot of people are getting the drink confused with a spirit type drink.

What it really is though is a combination of finely aged beers for over 12 years. There is also a limited amount of these made, and they sell out fast wherever they can be found. The maker of the beer says that you get some amazing tastes with the high level of alcohol content.

The beer is 27% alcohol. Thats right, you heard it. With that level you would only need one of these things before you start spinning in your chair. I am sure the Sam Adams utopias beer tastes great, but unless I fall on some huge fortunes, I doubt I will be drinking one anytime soon.

Cheesecake Factory $1.50

Its a great day for not only the Cheesecake Factory, but also for people that love the restaurant. It is the Cheesecake factories 30th anniversary and they are having $1.50 cheesecake all day long today for anyone that comes to visit them. That sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me. No pun intended.

First of all the Cheesecake factory is probably one of my most favorite places to eat out of most restaurants, and I know there cheesecake is some of the best in the world, but it would be nice if they have more occasions like this where it is on discount. I think it would also attract more people to come and buy just that.

Vanity Fair Mccain Cover

So if you haven’t seen the new Vanity Fair magazine cover of John McCain on the front it won’t be much of a shocker to you. It appears as the new Vanity Fair McCain cover is portraying John McCain just like the New Yorker showed Obama on the cover. The only difference is that they are not showing an image of a flag burning or making McCain look like a terrorist. It is amazing how they are playing on the coverage that the New Yorker got, and will probably sell a bunch of copies on this.

The contents won’t be anything special, but it sure will cause people to want to go out and buy this edition just because of the attention it gets. I for one really don’t care one bit about what these magazines have to say, and think its just a big waste of time messing with politics period.

John Edwards Affair Rumor

Well it looks like there is a John Edwards Affair Rumor going on, and I am sure you could guess who is the culprit for spreading it. Thats right its the National enquirer. While these guys always have a problem with coming up with anything concrete, they don’t mind spreading things that may or may not be true. According to them someone told them about a John Edwards affair going on. So obviously they have no proof to it.

It’s things like this that can be really frustrating if you are the person on the other end receiving the attack. If you really aren’t sure of whats what, then don’t publish something that leads people to believe is fact. Thats why we call this the John Edwards Affair Rumor and not the John Edwards affair, but I guarantee you that people will be saying it all day as if it is a 100% guaranteed fact.
