Props
Just wanted to say that it means a lot when a product works out for you. I think that was why I was so pissed when DirecTV cut their DSL Service. It was the perfect fit for me. Another web service that I really enjoy and pay 12.95 a month for is Onebox. It is email fax and voicemail all in one and I have a dedicated 800 number. It is (877) 843-7671 so feel free to leave me a message. Another service that I enjoy strongly enough to also pay for is GoToMyPc. Go to my pc is a service that allows you to connect securely to another computer using SSL which in many cases allows it to pass through a firewall, it does in my case though the administrator asked me about shortly after setting it up because it sends a ping out every 10 seconds. My final kudos goes to link] [Karma: -10 (+/-)]

Pulver knocked out in UCC
UCC 12 Adrenaline

Former UFC champ Jens Pulver is sent down in round 1 by a kick/punch combo in his bout with Duane "Bang!" Ludwig. Wow what a shock this will be to the lightweight rankings. Pulver has been king of the hill despite his apparent lacking of the killer instinct in his most recent fights. Does this make Ludwig the new king or will the winner of Penn and Uno become the new dog?

Go TO My PC
GoToMyPc is awesome remote management service. I use it now to get to my work PC and it makes my life much easier. It is awesome because rather than putt along at dial up speed I am actually connecting at the speed of the internet connection between home and work which is far faster. I also think that it doesn't use as much resources as the other remote management program I typically use, netmeeting.

Update!
Well I realize I have been slacking on the old posting duties again but hey I m doing better than I had for a stretch there. At work my boss has left us to head for greener pastures and I dont know what fate awaits me yet. I am anxious to see as they have decided to implement a new HIS cal;led meditech which is a really marketable skill. The implementation would take over a year to get done, probably more. I also sent out a resume for another job yesterday that was written like it was my job description so I am anxious to see what I hear back on that one as well. At home we painted the bedroom which was a chore and a half, but it looks really nice now that we are done. It looks that I am going to be traveling to Korea in April for my brothers wedding which should be really exciting. Especially if the current political climate continues, it may be too exciting to go.

Yao versus Shaq I - Yao wins the war?
USATODAY.com - Rockets soar past Lakers in overtime

HOUSTON (AP) %u2014 Yao Ming made it clear early that he belonged on the same court with Shaquille O'Neal. And the 7-foot-6 Chinese rookie was there at the end to score the biggest basket of the game. In one of the most hyped matchups of the season, Yao blocked O'Neal's first three shots, altered Kobe Bryant's attempt at the end of regulation and dunked with 10.2 seconds left as Houston beat the Los Angeles Lakers 108-104 in overtime Friday night.

University computers crippled by electronic bomb
USATODAY.com - University computers crippled by electronic bomb

Ohio State University computers were clogged for several days last month after someone sent an electronic bomb of 11 million e-mail messages into the system, officials said.

When I first read this I thought it was a real bomb that sent out an electronic wave that shorted out these computers.

HBO Documentary "The Smashing Machine"
Boxing Insider : MMA News : Review of HBO Documentary "The Smashing Machine"

It is often asked what happens to the celebrity once the lights are off, the applause is gone, and fans no longer are shouting his/her name. These highs and subsequent lows in life have been chronicled from various perspectives. In %u201CThe Smashing Machine: The Life and Times of Mark Kerr%u201D, a new documentary directed by John Hyams, this question is examined through the eyes of MMA star Mark Kerr.

This show was awesome as it was deep look into the sport of mixed martial arts. If you can catch a replay of it. I fell on it by accident as it showed after Oz which I watch religiously.

Rodriguez to Defend against Sylvia
Rodriguez to Defend against Sylvia

LAS VEGAS, NEV., January 8, 2003%u2026The Ultimate Fighting Championship%u2019s (UFC) new Heavyweight Champion Ricco Rodriguez will defend his title for the first time against undefeated contender Tim Sylvia at UFC 41: Onslaught live on pay-per-view Friday, Feb. 28, at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. An eight-fight card also will feature the return to the UFC of legendary Heavyweight Tank Abbott, who will meet jiu jitsu submission specialist Frank Mir. In the co-main event, lightweight top contenders BJ Penn and Caol Uno will meet for the lightweight title.

Mir versus Tank should be a good example of new versus old in so many ways plus it would legitimise the title shot that both of these are seeking for the victor.

My exercise plan
Bally Total Fitness | Fitness FAQ

It takes two different types of exercise to help you most effectively lose weight and keep it off: one to burn a high number of calories (aerobic-type exercise), the other to build and preserve muscle tissue (strength-training exercise). Muscle tissue enables you to lose weight and keep it off because it helps you maintain your resting metabolic rate, thereby allowing you to burn a greater number of calories when you're at rest. An analysis of the available data indicates that, in general, the combination of a conventional aerobic exercise program with a severely calorie-restricted diet does little (if anything) to help preserve lean body mass during weight reduction.
