The Selfish Bastard’s Position on Pool Design

Ooooh so you’re one of thooooose guys! Selfish as the day is long. Well good for you; I mean if you don’t look out for number one who will right?

One Man’s Beauty Is Another Man’s Beast

Don’t worry about what the neighbors are going to think of your new backyard extravaganza. Why should you care? If they’re lucky you might just invite them to your next shindig. Now, let’s get down to business. The truly selfish bastard is not just going to just have a pool in some weird kidney shaped design; oh no. There’s a Jacuzzi, poolside hammocks, an outdoor kitchen for both grilling and conventional cooking, specialized lighting (with a dimmer of course), a screened in area in case of flying insect infestation and so very much more.

Almost Forgot The Sound System

You’re going to want your big screen TV viewable through the sliding glass doors and a sound system that will break the windows in surrounding homes. Now you really will have to invite the ingrates to your next shindig.
Seriously if I have to tell you every step that you need to take in order to make your pool design one of a truly selfish bastard; what kind of lousy selfish Bastard’s are you after all?



Must See TV for the Rich and Relaxed

If you’re any kind of a TV buff you already know that there are plenty of shows on TV about the rich and famous; probably the most famous being Robin Leach’s Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous.

The Rich Don’t Enjoy Watching The Rich

Whether it’s envy or bad acting, a casual survey resulted in the conclusion that the rich don’t necessarily like watching television shows about the supposed rich. Shows like Rich Bride, Poor Bride; Filthy Rich; or any ‘trailer trash’ show having to do with cops or handcuffs are out. (What do you suppose the aversion to handcuffs is?) Rich teens in college are watching Glee and New Girl; as well as Desperate Housewives (hoping not to become one?).

What The Rich Do Like

Though rich women over 50 seem to be getting quite a bang out of Dancing With The Stars; BlueBloods (actually liked by women but not men… Could Tom Selleck have something to do with that?); and Modern Family and Modern Family Part ll are both enjoyed by the annual income of $83,000 or more demographic.
And with the right satellite TV deals, the rich and famous can keep an eye on the financial ticker across the bottom of the screen on certain ‘all news all the time’ channels.



Snagging Seats for the Triple Crown

You won’t need to worry about snagging seats for the Triple Crown if there isn’t one officially won. The Kentucky Derby is only the first stop in the race for the Triple Crown. Win that and you must next win both the Preakness and Belmont Stakes in order to achieve the heralded title of Triple Crown Winner.

If You Use History To Make Your Bets…

Some people take a look at winning trainers, others look at winning jockeys; others still look at things like favorite colors and numbers. All the past history of winners, trainers and jockey’s is available if you search Kentucky Derby online you will find more than enough info to help you place your Kentucky Derby bets. Everyone has their own system or beliefs behind how and why they place their bets in the manner that they do. A quick and easy place to look up history on any of the above mentioned races is Wikipedia. There you’ll find history, origin, statistics, records made/broken and more.

Triple Crowns Past
Since the year 1919 only 11 horses have been good enough and have hung in there long enough to achieve the Triple Crown; the last of those being the way back in 1978 when teenager Steve Cauthen won aboard Affirmed there is a wiki devoted to both the jockey and the horse. Barbaro was favored to be a major contender for the elusive Triple Crown and instead ended up breaking the hearts of horse racing and animal lovers throughout the world with his untimely death.
To avoid confusion, all three races mentioned above officially make up the Triple Crown. You cannot have a Triple Crown Winner however, unless the same horse wins all three.

Planning a Little Selfish Entertainment

Standing in line for 5 hours just to get Book Of Mormon tickets, the hottest show on Broadway, may not seem like a little selfish entertainment but; if you go with the right frame of mind you can selfishly enjoy yourself at other’s expense.

South Park-esque Humor

If you are a fan of Comedy Central’s South Park, and the kind of humor in displays, Book Of Mormon should be right up your alley. Some see it as offensive; but those who understand it realize that its very offensiveness is what makes it funny in the first place. No one is spared. The church, Broadway, Disneyland, Africa… No one is safe. The show is an equal opportunity offender. But that’s why people love it.

Music, Music

The show opens with a song that brings practically everyone to their feet, called “Hello”. In fact you may find yourself humming various tunes from the show the next day as you putter about the house. The staging, acting and comedy in the show are superbly executed. One word of warning… Some kids are allowed to watch shows like South Park, some are not; Book Of Mormon is not a Broadway show to which you should bring the children. (Unless of course your children are over 18.)

Preventing Diabetes – Don’t Become a Statistic

African Americans are disproportionately affected by diabetes, when compared to the rest of the general population. African American diabetes diagnoses are swiftly reaching epidemic proportions.

• 14.7 percent of all African Americans aged 20 years or older have diabetes.
• African Americans are 1.8 times have a greater risk to have diabetes as non Hispanic whites.
• 25 percent of African Americans between the ages of 65 and 74 have either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes.
• 1 in 4 African American women over 55 years of age has diabetes.

The Different Types of Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes results when the body’s immune system attacks and destroys its own insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Individuals with type 1 diabetes must have insulin delivered by injection or a pump. Some of the symptoms of Type 1 diabetes are increased thirst and urination, constant hunger, weight loss, blurred vision, and extreme fatigue. These symptoms will usually develop over a short period of time. If type 1 diabetes is not diagnosed and treated, a person can lapse into a life-threatening coma. 5 percent of all diagnosed cases of diabetes in adults are Type 1.

Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body does not make enough insulin or cannot use the insulin it makes effectively. Type 2 diabetes usually develops in adults over the age of 40. Children and adolescents are falling victim to Type 2 diabetes more and more. Symptoms of type 2 diabetes are feeling tired or ill, unusual thirst, frequent urination (nighttime), weight loss, blurred vision, frequent infections, and slow-healing wounds. Slow healing wounds is often not as noticeable as Type 1. However some people have no symptoms. 90 to 95 percent of all diagnosed cases of diabetes in adults are Type 2 diabetes.

Risk Factors

Type 2 diabetes is at a higher risk if the person has a family history of diabetes. A member of the family is of an ethnic group like African American. Overweight or obesity can lead to Type 2 diabetes. 45 years of age or older increases the risks to diabetes. Gestational diabetes while pregnant can lead to Type 2. Having higher glucose levels that are not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. Abnormal lipid levels as well can contribute to Type 2.

BMW’s i Concept Cars

When you talk about BMW concept cars all sorts of images come to mind. There’s a very good reason for that. There are all sorts of BMW concept cars; most of them looking like something out of the future that should fly as well as drive on paved streets.

 

Coming in 2013: the BMW i8 Concept Car

 

Not that there aren’t already i8 concept cars by BMW; there are. I mean if we’re talking about concept cars we might as well discuss BMW’s 2020 model, the 13 Concept. These cars would make any science fiction writer literally tingle with glee. They are so futuristic that they are almost indescribable in their lines and gadgets and pivotal door openings… It’s crazy. But awesome. If you want to have some real fun, check out You Tube and you can actually watch a BMW i8 concept car being built, right before your very eyes. It’s a virtual building of a car, but amazing nonetheless. Absolutely fascinating to watch. Not only can you watch the building of this car but pointers explain what parts are going where; i.e. The Electric Motor, the lithium battery that it runs on, the fuel tank which it apparently also runs on and more.

 

The i’s Have It

 

BMW has not only the i8 concept car but the i3 as well. These are BMW’s holistic approach to a solution that fits in with the green movement and helps deal with the overcrowding in our future; which we are already being forced to deal with. Both of these cars debuted at the Frankfurt auto news show this year. Drive trains which are hybrid or electric, lightweight materials are used to offset the extra weight and even greener methods of manufacturing all go into the i models from BMW.

If the environment is a major concern of yours, and you love futuristic looking cars, you might want to check out BMW’s i line of cars.

 



Protect Yourself and Your Rights With A Personal Injury Lawyer

How many times have you told that landlord about that wooden step that is rotting and needs fixing? Today you went ahead and miss stepped on those stairs, in a hurry, and that step gave way. Now you’re lying in a hospital bed with a broken leg. You need a personal injury lawyer.

Personal Injury as a Result of Negligence

The case described above is pure negligence on the part of the landlord. Granted you knew it existed and that may be argued but with a good personal injury lawyer the landlord will get what’s coming to him—and I don’t mean the rent. What if your neighbor’s pit bull gets loose, comes onto your property and bites you in the leg? That’s an accident if the dog broke loose, but you will probably still have a case. Vicious dogs should possibly be kept behind fences not just on a leash. If you get hurt as a result of someone else’s negligence or purposeful act a good personal injury lawyer will be able to settle a lawsuit in your favor for a decent sum of money.

Don’t Be Sue Happy

It is my opinion that this world is currently sue happy. Everybody is suing everybody for the littlest thing. Maybe it has something to do with the economy but it’s been happening for quite a while now so I’m thinking maybe not. A personal injury lawyer is for people who genuinely need assistance paying medical bills and making up for lost wages that occurred as a result of an injury received because it was someone else’s fault. A personal injury lawyer is not, or should not be, an ambulance chaser that will pursue frivolous lawsuits for your (and their) personal financial gain.

So if you sue someone because they sued you for no good reason and now you want to get something for the pain and suffering they put you through, is that a personal injury lawyer, too? Contact a Fort Worth Personal Injury Lawyer.
