Husker Radio Updates

   Posted by: Brian Garvin   in News

If you are a Nebraska Cornhuskers fan and like to listen to Husker Radio, you’ll be pleased to know that they are broadening their viewer range into Texas thanks to NTN Communications. NTN has delivered Nebraska Cornhusker football on the air for well over a decade now. Around 2005 NTN was in serious need of donations so they could continue to broadcast football for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. The Husker Radio Broadcasts were originally paid for by a series of donations made by patron support as well as sponsorship donations made by a variety of businesses with direct connections to the University or the State of Nebraska.

The year 2004 was a tough one for Husker Radio. Less than 2 months before the start of the season, NTN was rejected by KSKY 660 AM, which was the home for Husker Radio since 1996. As of this time frame, the radio station was in jeopardy of closing its doors. Not only did they need monetary commitments from it’s members, but they needed lots of time commitments as well if they were going to stay around and make things work for everyone.

Producing an entire season of Husker Radio broadcasts isn’t an easy job at all. You are responsible for collecting money from advertisers to make sure you can afford to stay on the air. In the past, plenty of influential business owners with ties to the team or the State of Nebraska were able to meet the financial goals of Husker Radio. They were even able to reach the viewers in Texas. But the problem was many of them bailed out due to financial difficulties and couldn’t continue to provide to necessary support to keep the radio station afloat.

Bob Van Horn is a big player at Husker Radio and deserves credit for the many hours and sweat he put into making sure the radio station keep blasting out air waves to Nebraska and parts of Texas. From selling ads to raising funds to resolving technical issues that arose. It’s a hard job but someone has to do it. Try sitting through a Saturday without the Cornhuskers playing on it and that can amount to a very depressing situation as a football fan.

And Nebraska is known for a high ratio of citizens who are also football enthusiasts. Our research as of a couple days ago shows NTN is going strong now and it looks like Husker Radio is doing great as well. Whatever NTN did, the Nebraska Cornhuskers look like they have a lot to look forward to.

Kendra Engaged to Hank Baskett Does Hugh Hefner Care

   Posted by: Brian Garvin   in Cool Stuff

Kendra Wilkinson is the girl from Girls Next Door show. She has now accepted a marriage proposal from Hank Baskett who is an NFL Receiver from the Philadelphia Eagles. Hank Baskett currently has 1 1/2 years left on his NFL contract. Kendra Wilkinson was formerly Hugh Hefner’s ex girlfriend. Interestingly enough 2 of Hugh Hefners current girlfriends are both twins and are just 19 years old and Hugh Hefner is 82. Now the Kendra Engaged to Hank Baskett story is shocking to many.

The wedding for Kendra Engaged to Hank Baskett is supposed to take place in June 2009. You can say that this is wedding news coming out of the Playboy Mansion but it’s not about Hugh Hefner. Kendra will be leaving the nest for a Philadelphia Eagle. Hugh doesn’t seem to be too upset about this, he’s even giving her a free wedding ceremony which is to be held at the Playboy mansion and Hugh Hefner has even agreed to walk Kendra down the isle. Bridget is the only one left from Girls next door, and many think it won’t be much longer before she leaves the Playboy mansion as well.

So now that we know the Kendra Engaged to Hank Baskett is true, lets examine what took place. Hank Baskett Proposed to her at the Space Needle before both of their families in Seattle, WA. One of Hugh Hefners main bunnies is hopping down the aisle with another man. Did Kendra think that the relationship with Hugh was too strange, too dominatrix? Hugh mentions it is like bad fiction, but never the less he is supportive of her final decision although we’re not too sure he is happy about it.

Now with Kendra Engaged to Hank Baskett we’ll have to see if everything folds out okay. Kendra mentioned she didn’t know what else to say other than it’s a lot of fun. Maybe the age differential has a lot to do with it. As far as level of success is concerned, you can’t say that Hugh is less successful than Hank. Kendra Wilkinson has lived with Hugh Hefner since 2004, so she is the type who is able to maintain a stable relationship with a man.

From what we understand she will still be co-starring as one of the three girls in the reality show the girls next door. Kendra says the difference between the reality show she is a co-star in and other reality shows is that hers is real. Maybe now we can say was real. We wish both Hugh Hefner and Kendra Wilkinson the best in the future.

French Nuclear Submarine Base Overview

   Posted by: Brian Garvin   in News

About 85% of France’s Nuclear Weapons are on Submarines. Now the world is wondering if the French Nuclear Submarine Base will be soon called into action. Jacques Chirac mentioned earlier this week that it will not tolerate nuclear weapons in the region, and if needbe, they will open up their French Nuclear Submarine Base and engage on any terrorist attacks against the country. This is in opposition and abandons the standard French Foreign Policy they usually abide by.

The French President Jacques Chirac mentioned in his speech after visiting the French Nuclear Submarine Base that influencing countries to desist is the best guaranted they have for National Security at this time. Jacques Chirac mentioned that France has the ability and the means to inflict a horrific amount of damage to any major power and are not afraid to do so should they feel overly threatened. He also stated that France has the capability to respond to threats on any level.

Later in the speech that any leaders who carry out acts of terrorism against France risks what he calls a firm and appropriate response for his country. He mentions these responses could be in the form of regular conventional war weapons like Tanks, Aircraft and Long Range Missiles, but if necessary, nuclear weapons could easily be employed into the picture. When Jacques Chirac made these threats he didn’t focus his speech on any particular country, it was more of a worldwide broad threat that could potentially effect any country who became hostile with France.

Right now Europe and the US are currently at a gridlock with Iran because of it’s Nuclear Weapon Arsenal. This is over a decade after the tail end of the Cold War. Right now France spends over 3.5 Billion Per Year on it’s Nuclear Weapons. I don’t think the French Nuclear Submarine Base is any direct threat to the US, since we’re not making terrorist threats against the country. We think in the future it’s going to be more and more of a challenge to keep Nuclear Weapons away from the smaller countries. Some people think this will blow up the planet inevitably.

There are lots of checks and balances issued by the US Government but this we think will only slow it down. I don’t think we’ll be in a Nuclear War anytime in the near future, but I’m not sure about 50 years or so where we’ll be. If every angry small country leader can harness this technology in the future, we could have problems.

Plot to Kill Barack Obama Unmasked

   Posted by: Brian Garvin   in News

Daniel Cowart is 20 years old and from Tennesse and his partner in crime Paul M. Schlesselman who is 18 from Arkansas, are now in a Tennessee Prison with all bail requests denied. Their plan was to both Plot to Kill Barack Obama at a school which was primarily African American. Yesterday they showed up in from of a Court Magistrate in Memphis, Tennessee. If these two men are found to be guilty of this crime they can each spend over a decade in prison.

Their original plan was to get their hands on lethal weapons by stealing them, break into an American School where the Plot to Kill Barack Obama would then take place. They wanted to wear White Top Hats and Tails to show their allegence to the White Supremecist community. Government reports came back and said the plot wasn’t able to be traced to higher command and that these two were acting on their own. But in spite of this it still really concerns authorities about Barack Obama’s future safety from these types of ultra violent groups.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms and Tobacco are involved along with the FBI and Local Law Enforcement. So when writing a blog post like this I have to ask myself what would make people get so angry to hurt and kill someone just because they are from another race and are successful. We’re these people trying to prove a point to themselves or to the Aryan Nations. Did they want to go down as legacy figures by doing something evil and off the wall. It has been said that anyone serious enough about taking the Presidents life with a little planning and bravery can do it IF they are willing to pay with their own life. But apparently this Plot to Kill Barack Obama leaked out too quickly and these two got nabbed before they had a chance to carry it out.

The other question I ask in situations like this, is what swayed these two from doing what most people do. Go to college or get a steady job. I think many young men are frustrated nowdays because of lack of opportunity in the market place or no clear cut goals for the future. We believe until he proves us wrong that Barack Obama is going to try hard to change this in his term. So why would someone try to kill the one person who is going to try to make things better for these two and millions of others in this country. What I do hope is that Daniel Cowart and Paul Schlesselman will get some much needed counseling while in prison. And after these two get out, that they will help others avoid the mistakes they made.

Warlocks Motorcycle Gang and It’s Roots

   Posted by: Brian Garvin   in News

The Warlocks Motorcycle Gang sometimes knows as the Warlocks MC or Warlocks Motorcycle Club was started in 1971. Billy Warlock was interviewed and said that the Club was started in 1971 and it all started with Park Benches and hippies. Billy Warlock said his original aspirations was to become a Fireman. When they formed the club Billy was hesitant about joining. His bike was torn apart and had to ride his bicycle to work each day. His friend Grubb drove him home after he was drunk, took him to the club house and then he became a Warlock. He worked hard to put the 40th Warlock Anniversary together.

The Warlocks Motorcycle Gang is centralized around Philadelphia and spread out to Atlantic City. In the original days there were a lot of turfwars back in the day. Billy Warlock has been a member of the Warlock’s for 36 years now. His family thinks it’s cool and have no problems with him being a member. He mentioned that they don’t want people involved in the organization that don’t want to become a member.

He reemphasized that there was a lot of violence and turfwar back in the days, and that recently there is a lot less violence and more peace. Billy Warlock’s quest was to bring all the original members back for the anniversary. He got a lead on Skip Cheney, who was apprehensive but gave Warlock a lead on some other brothers. He found 7 of the original 13 brothers. 3 he couldn’t find and 3 died. Most of the brothers have been out of touch for decades. When they started the Warlocks Motorcycle Gang they did it out of survival, and had no idea the gang would still be around today.

Billy Warlock was asked what we thought about the Warlocks Motorcycle Gang, and he said it’s a true Strong Brotherhood just like back in the early 1970’s. He feels this organization will be worldwide in the future. He also felt good when Noodles and Owen got their patches. He thinks the world knows what’s going on, and admits that any club has good and bad. And that the media likes to slant things, and that some people can tolerate the lifestyle because of this and some can’t.

Ghost Whisperer Jim Dies But Does He Resurface

   Posted by: Brian Garvin   in Cool Stuff

For those not in the loop, Ghost Whisperer produced with John Gray is a Television Drama played by Jim Clancy who is David Conrad in real life. Jim is Melinda Gordon’s husband in this American fantasy Television series. Many people are wondering how Ghost Whisperer Jim Dies, who was ultimately responsible for his death and will this be the last we see of Jim? Read on because you are about to find out.

Ghost Whisperer Jim Dies at Mercy Hospital. Jims spirit is leaving his body and moving towards the light as others are trying to save him. Jim tries to touch his own body but his hand goes through. Caitlin Mahoney is who this episode is centered around. She is a 17 year old girl who was one of patients Jim was trying to save. Caitlin tells Melinda Gordon that she felt guilty because Ghost Whisperer Jim Dies right at the point while he was trying to save her. Unfortunately Caitlin also dies.

The Ghost Whisperer Jim Dies is a true sign of love and what it is like to be loved. You would think Melinda would be gentle and sympathetic but she wasn’t. She was upset at Caitlin and appeared to not want much to do with the ugly affair. Caitlin hurts her Stepdad as she told Melinda, but Melinda is so emotionally outraged and hurt she just wants to disassociate herself with the situation.

After a bit of nudging Caitlin tells Melinda that the Ghost Whisperer Jim Dies story wasn’t an accident, that she helped plan his death and took part in his murder. Melinda tried to jump toward the ghost, a lot like someone trying to tackle someone in real life, and the ghost disappears. A viewer we research said she couldn’t believe Jim was dead, it was horrible! We’ll see if he comes back to life soon, it will be interesting to witness.

Compaq CQ 139wm What Makes It Different

   Posted by: Brian Garvin   in Cool Stuff

The Compaq CQ 139wm is Compaq’s new Notebook Computer they just released. What makes this computer so different than many of the other ones is that it supports 3GB of RAM (Random Access Memory) in each slot (they have 2 slots). So a total of 6GB of RAM are supported with this computer. The computer comes with a AMD Turion X2 mobile processor (2 GHz) however the computer only comes with 3GB. I say the word only a bit loosely I guess.

I remember just a few short years ago when having just 2GB of RAM was barely affordable, and you’d have the best computer on the block if you had 2GB of RAM. With the evolution of Micro Electronics on the rise, heavy competition the prices of computers will continue to go down and the way they are built will continue to improve and the features they offer will continue to be more robust and efficient.

Rumor is these Compaq CQ 139wm computers are only $298.00 at Walmart. And to be honest I never thought I could afford a Laptop anytime soon. The hard drive on the Compaq CQ 139wm baby is 5400RPM and 160GB, so it’s not a small space to store your stuff. However if you’re a gamer note that the Graphics Card has some improvements to be made to it, maybe on a future model, but right now they are not up to standard for a gamer.

The Compaq CQ 139wm runs on Vista Home but for the price it’s still a heck of a deal. A DVD writer is included if you like to burn Music DVD’s or make backups of your favorite programs. It includes a wireless LAN and a six cell Lithium Battery. This should be good for at least 2-3 hours of backups. I personally think you really can’t ask for out of a computer especially for the low price Wal Mart is selling them for. As long as you’re not a hard core gamer or a Professional Graphic Designer, since this drains a lot of the RAM, you’ll have a great computer on your hands that will never let you down.

Tuition Free Colleges Is It True

   Posted by: Brian Garvin   in Cool Stuff

I’ve been living on this planet for 39 years, and most people just don’t believe me when I tell them not to worry about the economy being in the dumps right now, that with every Yin there’s always a Yang to go with it. What I mean is when the government and slanted media start to say that things are coming to an end, there’s always some kind of opportunity for relief to balance things out like Tuition Free Colleges that have been springing up lately.

One story we read recently was an ambitious couple who turned down three major Universities recently so they could go to the University of Virginia. This is one of many Tuition Free Colleges springing up across the United States. No exaggeration here, quite a few low income students are attending this college because they are offering special incentives to people without a lot of money but with a lot of talent.

With the economy the way it is, it’s such a breath of fresh air to know that community colleges and even state colleges are turning into Tuition Free Colleges for their low income students. Many have even eliminated the need for them to apply for a loan at all.

While I’m all for working hard to get what you want and am personally the type of individual who doesn’t like getting something for nothing, people born into bad economic situations but have the talent and will to become someone, I think this is a great way to add value to the american workforce and keep poor people away from economic depravity and even prison, since many poor people commit crimes to get what they need.

These Tuition Free Colleges are already available in over a dozen states even scattered all over the United States. If you want to know if a University in your area offers one of these programs just walk into the Tuition Assistance office of the school and ask them or make an appointment with an Academic Counselor.

Until I researched this I was always concerned that tuition costs would keep the upper middle class complacent and the rich richer. But I’m once again proud of America and the way they are handling this situation. I really believe anyone can make it if they are focused and serious and research Tuition Free Colleges available to those with the initiative and foresight to seek them out.

Pacific Grocery and Restaurant Oceanside California

   Posted by: Brian Garvin   in Cool Stuff

Whether you live in the City of Oceanside or are planning on traveling to Oceanside in the near future, you might or might not be aware of Pacific Grocery and Restaurant in Oceanside, California. If you’re going down Pacific Coast Highway towards the harbor, you would make a quick left on Wisconsin Ave right before the Highway 101 Cafe and a quick right on Tremont Street and it’s right there on the right hand side of the street. And Wisconsin Ave. leads right to the Pacific Ocean. Sometimes after eating or buying groceries I’ll just leave my car parked there, walk to the beach and enjoy myself for an hour or so, then get in my car and leave.

I’ve been eating lunch there pretty much all summer, and wanted to share my experience with it in hopes that you’ll pay this place a visit. Pacific Grocery and Restaurant in Oceanside offers a variety of different types of food. They offer a wide variety of mexican food in their restaurant. Recently they opened up a Grocery Store around July 2008, and yes, the restaurant is still there.  The other notable dynamic is that they are the only restaurant in the City of Oceanside that offers Indian Food. Imagine that, Indian Food in Oceanside. But it doesn’t stop there. They offer Indian Groceries as well so you can purchase your food there and cook it at home.

In addition they just started offering Chicken Fajita Burritos this week. And if you live around this area, make sure you check out their produce. I always end up purchasing an avocado, tomato or bananas almost every week. They have a nice front patio with two large tables so you can eat outside with your friends. Inside they have six smaller tables you can eat at.

It’s the perfect place to stop by if you’re going to the beach or coming back from the beach. Tonight I just came back from there with a trophy, a full gallon of milk for only $3.99. Most people think just because a place is small that you can’t get lower prices than a major supermarket. Shopping for groceries and eating here has been a wonderful experience, at least for me it was. Sam is the owner and is real nice, and they take good care of me while I’m here.

You can use Mapquest and the address is 626 S. Tremont St. Oceanside, CA. 92054.

Orders Please Call Sam General Manager at 760-433-0103
Hours of Operation – 8:00am – 9:00pm Mon. thru Sun.
