Vacation

noreply@blogger.com (Lady Nazh) — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 18:23:00 +0000

While planning our family vacation, I stumbled upon an historic gem looking for a Georgia beach resort. The Jekyll Island Club Hotel. The resort boasts a beautiful lush landscape featuring nine miles of beachfront, bike trails, sixty-three rounds of golf (on professional courses), tennis courts, horse-back riding with casual and fine dining areas all around.

This Georgia resort is rich in history and beauty. The clubhouse, complete with a turret, offers breath-taking Queen Anne style architecture fit for royalty. The annex has a gorgeous landscape and sprawling trees all the while surrounding you by beauty inside and out. The San Douci offers twenty four rooms as well as two private meeting areas; perfect for family reunions and gatherings. Cherokee cottage boasts ten beautiful guest rooms; meeting area and even a billiards room. Perfect for a smaller family get together.

Another remarkable area, Crane Garden, is perfect if you are looking for a Georgia wedding venue. Offering various packages tailored to any size event. Packages include everything from the minister to the photography, food, set-up, music and honeymoon accommodations.

Jekyll Island Club Hotel is the perfect choice for many occasions: from romantic get-a ways, vacations, weddings and other special gatherings. Among the numerous amenities you will find include: top-notch room service, wireless internet, highly recommended concierge, spa with salon services and even baby-sitting services. The varied outdoor activities also include swimming (beach or pool), croquet and putting greens (before you head off to the course). I am so excited about our future vacation and I guarantee that you will be too.

Happy New Year

Kentucky

noreply@blogger.com (Lord Nazh) — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 20:55:00 +0000

Congrats to the Kentucky Wildcats! First win over Tennessee since 1984 and first at home since 1981.

Yes, we got jobbed on that 'fumble' call (clearly a fumble, UT clearly recovered) but we played awful the whole game and Kentucky wanted it a bit more.

1-26 in the last 27 years... Time to start a new string.

QUITMAN, GA (WALB) - 12 former Brooks County officials were indicted for voter fraud. The suspects are accused of illegally helping people vote by absentee ballot.(link)

Short story so I can't quote much of it; but the three (3) paragraphs seem to never mention the party of the offenders. Name that Party (TM) used to be a regular here and on Don Surber's blog

Football Picks of the Week

noreply@blogger.com (Lord Nazh) — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 19:27:00 +0000

8-0 in the SEC last week (41-9, 82%), 3-1 T25/US (19-13, 59.4%)

SEC:

Tennessee travels to Kentucky: A bowl game is on the line for the Vols and #27 in the streak (wins by UT over KY); Bray should be closer to 100% and UT's defense is much better than Kentucky's: UT 31 - KY 13

#1 LSU vs #3 Arkansas: Huge matchup of prolific offense (Ark) vs prolific defense (LSU), This is at LSU so there's a huge edge right there, along with the fact that LSU's offense is 5x better than Arkansas' defense: LSU 27 - Ark 20

#2 Alabama at #24 Auburn: Semi-final game for the Tide in their quest to the National Title Game. Auburn won last year on Cam's greatest comeback, but he's no longer there and the Tigers have a lot of trouble stopping the run (uh oh for them, ala Trent): ALA 35 - AU 10

#13 Georgia at #23 Georgia Tech: Georgia will give up 300+ rushing yards to Tech and still win: UGA 28 - GT 25

Vanderbilt at Wake Forest: Bowl game elimination game for Vandy; after being pissed off all week for the way the UT game ended, they'll start out on fire; it won't last, but the lead will hold up: Vandy 21 - Wake 17

Florida State travels to Florida: Florida is a mess; their offense is in the skids and they can't stop the run: FSU 35 - UF 20

Ole Miss at Mississippi State: Nutts last game for Ole Miss; you'd think it would inspire them to send him out with a win; you'd think wrong: MSU 20 - Miss 7

#17 Clemson at #12 South Carolina: Clemson got bombed by NC State last week; SC wins, but they are missing their most important player (Lattimore): Since this game is at home, I'll give SC the advantage over the reeling Tigers: SC 20 - Clem 19

T25
#8 Houston stays unbeaten against a rough Tulsa team on the road;
#5 Virginia Tech takes the ACC Coastal (?) with a close win over Virginia
#9 Oklahoma makes Iowa State remember that it isn't that good;

US: Texas A&M takes out #24 Texas

Football Picks of the Week

noreply@blogger.com (Lord Nazh) — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 06:42:00 +0000

6-1 SEC last week (33-9, 78.6%) 1-3 T25/US (16-12, 57.1%)

SEC

Tennessee at home against Vanderbilt; UT needs to win this one and the last one against Ky to get to a bowl and have a .500 season; Vandy wins this one or the next (Wake Forest) and they go to a bowl. Vandy is playing better, but UT gets Bray back for this one and history is on the Vols side; UT 25 - VU 21

#12 South Carolina over Citadel; #3 Alabama over Georgia Southern; #24 Auburn over Samford; Florida over Furman; #1 LSU over Ole Miss; #14 Georgia over Kentucky : All these games will be 21+ point blowouts.

#9 Arkansas will run and gun and hold off Mississippi State; Ark 42 - MSU 35

T25

Athlon

#5 Oklahoma rolls #22 Baylor
#10 Boise St takes out frustrations on San Diego State
#9 Stanford does likewise on California

US
USC hands the #4 Oregon Ducks another loss and makes the LSU/Alabama rematch that much more probable.

Football Picks of the Week

noreply@blogger.com (Lord Nazh) — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 13:55:00 +0000

Running late this week; got married last sunday :) I'll get a pic or 2 up later

5-2 in the SEC last week (27-8, 77.1%) 3-1 in T25/US (15-9, 62.5%)

SEC

Tennessee travels to #8 Arkansas; not a good game to get on track in the SEC for the Vols :( Arkansas has more weapons than we do. Arkansas 35 - UT 20

Florida is at #13 South Carolina; SC should beat them like a drum; somehow I don't think they will and Florida will pull the upset (and send Georgia to the SEC championship); FL 28 - SC 27

SEC

Kentucky at Vandy; elimination day for one of these teams (bowl wise) and it will be Kentucky; even with the win over Ole Miss last week; I don't think they have the defense to stop Vandy this year. Vandy 41 - Ky 30

#20 Auburn at #15 Georgia; Auburn wins, not pretty but they keep doing it; No one is hotter than Georgia lately and somehow they keep it going; UGA 25 - AU 19

Western Kentucky is at #1 LSU; ouch LSU 55 - WKU 9

Louisiana Tech at Ole Miss; Should be an easy win for Ole Miss; but nothing works like it should; La Tech 29 - Ole Miss 19

#3 Alabama at Mississippi St; trap game for the tide as they just lost to LSU and play Auburn in 2 weeks; the bulldogs are hungry and at home, too bad it's Alabama; AL 35 - MSU 12

T25/US

#9 Clemson back on track against Wake Forest;
#5 Boise St rides home field against TCU;
#16 Texas slides past Missouri;

U/S #14 Kansas State loses a close one to Texas A&M

Football Picks of the Week

noreply@blogger.com (Lord Nazh) — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 16:51:00 +0000

4-1 Sec last week (22-6 78.6%) 4-0 T25/US (12-8 60%)

SEC

UT takes on Middle Tennessee; 45-20 UT

#1 LSU at #2 Alabama; this should be a monster game, strength on strength and athletes galore on both sides. I'm going to give the home team a slight advantage and say Bama 21-17

Vandy is at Florida: Vandy is playing lights out; Florida is reeling ... it won't matter. Florida has their number and that won't change this week: FL 30 - Vandy 25

New Mexico St is at Georgia; UGA suspended their top 3 running backs for this game so this should be close; UGA 32 NMSU 28

Ole Miss is at Kentucky: Miss starts out fast and fades; Kentucky doesn't do anything :( Miss 28 Ky 14

South Carolina at Arkansas: Game 2 for SC without Lattimore should be much harder than the 1st one; Arkansas actually has an offense. Ark 48 SC 38

Tenn-Martin at Miss. State; Trap game and I'm not sure if State can win it; Miss St 35 - T-M 34

T25/US

#3 Oklahoma St avoids the upset against #14 Kansas St
#25 Southern Miss likewise avoids one against E. Carolina
#6 Oklahoma keeps the hope alive against Texas A&M

U/S #21 Texas goes down to up/down/up Texas Tech

Football Picks of the Week

noreply@blogger.com (Lord Nazh) — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 21:30:00 +0000

5-0 in the SEC last week (18-5, 78.3%) and 2-2 in T25/US (8-8, 50%)

SEC:

Tennessee starts another new QB (freshman this week) against #13 South Carolina. SC has lost it's #1 running back for the year and kicked off the starting QB; however, their defense is super against the pass. Doesn't look good for UT, but I'm going to say that home field and a non-Sims start prove the difference in the upset. UT 21 - SC 18

#10 Arkansas at Vandy: Vandy is playing extremely well; but that won't help them win this game, although it should be close. Ark 28 - Vandy 21

Bleacher Report

#22 Georgia vs Florida in the World's Largest Cocktail Party: Georgia is on a roll, Florida is in flames (although they do get their starting QB back); I think in this game it will be too much UGA and no running game for the Gators. UGA 31 - FL 20

Ole Miss visits #23 (really?) Auburn: Both teams are sucking up the atmosphere; Auburn was good at some point however and that's enough. AU 20 - Ole Miss 7

Miss State at Kentucky: Can they both lose? MS 12 - Ky 6

T25/US

#6 Stanford rolls at USC,
#9 Oklahoma rebounds at #8 Kansas State,
#7 Oregon beats Wash St by at least 35

U/S #14 Nebraska beats #11 Michigan State

Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry unveiled a sweeping economic agenda Monday highlighted by a plan to level a voluntary 20 percent “flat tax” on all taxpayers who will accept it in place of what they’re paying now. (link)

Until I can read the proposal myself, I can't comment to much on it, but it sounds like a turn in the right direction at least.

And we have Herman to thank for finally getting the R's to start thinking of doing away with the tax system we now have.
