If you are someone that likes to play billiards every now and then, your probably going to need a good pool stick. Sometimes the best stick you can get, is by not really getting a stick. At least making your opponent feel like you are using the house stick. If you buy some of those sticks that are out there now, you can quickly determine that a player has brought their own stick to the pool hall. However, you can buy a stick that has that house-look to it and it plays like a nice stick. It’s some of the Sneaky Pete Pool Cues that you can now buy. Some of these sticks are really nice, but you can’t tell by looking at them. They are designed to look like your average house stick, but they play much better than a house stick. These Sneaky Pete sticks is a good thing to whip out at your favorite pool hall. Most players will shy away from the people that have a nice stick, but when they see your Sneaky Pete (and think it’s just a house stick) they won’t fear you a bit. That’s when you can get them on the table and start knocking down a few shots for them to see. They won’t know what to think, about a player that shoots as good as you and you are only using a house stick.
Check out some of these sticks the next time you’re looking for one. If you get the chance to play with one, you will love them as good as any other stick you could buy on the market today. I highly recommend looking at these Sneaky Pete pool cues, if you’re looking to buy a new stick. Be sure to let me know how you like the Sneaky Pete sticks and if you think they are as good as the fancy looking pool cues.

A few years we were presented with the opportunity to convert our 8mm and old VHS tapes to the standard DVD format. I was able to acquire the software, and hardware to start the CD DVD replication process. What I was not told was the amount of time that this would actually take. Not only was it not as simple as putting in the old tape and then clicking convert there multiple conversion steps that had to take place in order to get the video to convert properly. To make matters more complicated there were three varieties of DVD’s available which some were compatible with current DVD players and other were not. Then there was the process of getting the video and audio to synch up which that was whole other tutorial. Needless to say I went through dozens of DVD’s and hours trying to make them work.
Thank goodness now there are professional companies who at the time we were looking to make the conversion were pretty expensive. Now that the technology has become more affordable and the medium that is used has come down in cost it makes sense for individuals and businesses to send these projects out to have them done. The typical turn around time is about 1-2 weeks depending on the size of the order and what you need done. Most of the companies will even offer DVD replication where they can master and burn thousands of disks so if you are trying to send out a training video it can be more cost effective.

The heavy favorites in this year’s World Series is now leading by two games. The Colorado Rockies didn’t have anything for the Red Sox in game 1 and came up 1 run short in the 2nd game against the Boston Red Sox. Boston’s pitching has really been good and they just aren’t allowing the Rockies to put up any crooked numbers on the scoreboard. I’m still going to be rooting for the underdogs and see if they can get the bats going at Coors Field in this World Series.
This could be a special time in the Boston area. The Red Sox are 2 games away from winning the World Series, while the New England Patriots have looked unstopable. You factor that in with what the Boston Celtics have did during the off season by adding in Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen and the city of Boston might just be cheering for a long time. How nice it must be to live in Boston right now and being a hometown fan for all the teams. I’m not sure about the Boston Bruins, but if they win the Stanley Cup, we might all just have to move to Boston, so we can join in on all the fun!

The Cubbies play in the Cactus league during their spring training and to get Chicago Cubs Spring Training Tickets it is now very easy to do online. They hold their spring training down in Arizona which is always great weather for watching baseball, and we usually get a chance to meet some of the star players as they are more willing to sign autographs and talk with the fans. They have been playing and training at HoHoKam park in Mesa, AZ which provides a great facility for sports fans to view and interact with the Cubbies.
I just hope that this year we can continue the success and get off to a fast start. Coach Lou Pinella was brought in to make some changes, and get the team winning. He was able to take a and build a great Seattle team in the mid 1990’s and the hope that he still has some of that magic. If Kerry Woods stays healthy, and their bullpen can provide some relief the Cubs can push some of the top teams in the league.

Remember the last great Ohio State running back?Maurice Clarrette, is now serving time after being caught with a car load full of guns. A highly touted recruit, who totally lost his sense of direction is now just a bookmark. There are rumors of 4 players from this years Ohio State team looking to turn pro. Most young college see the alure of the money and playing in the NFL, but never realize all that comes with this next level of play. I went to WSU and we had Ryan Leaf, drafted in the first round, left college early. And it was a total disaster. He was a great college player but with all the distractions, was not able to stay focused on his game and is now no longer in the league.
These young players, while they are being told that they could be picked as high as the first round, should look to the future and what happens if the only play one or two seasons, they will not have finished college and have no degree to fall back on. Very few can leave early and make a successful career in the NFL. But most will not. Go Buckeyes in your quest for a National Championship. Only because I cannot stand Florida.
