Bout Blog

Last week I was looking to buy a new pair of bike shoes and was surfing the net going from site to site looking at things (half of which had absolutely no relevance to what I was searching for) until my friend told me about Shopwiki.com

This site is amazing.  By far the best shopping site on the web. Not only does this site search the web and list all the on line stores and their sales, but they are honorable enough to even list the stores that have not paid for advertising or positioning on the major search engines. As a consumer, this is a great thing.  Because, now we can get the relevant stores listed as opposed to the stores with the deeper pockets who can afford to pay for placement and buy traffic.  The bottom line is that as a consumer, we are looking for sales and the best bang for our buck.  This site will assist us in finding that.

So if you are a biking enthusiast like me, all you need to do is search for things like, bike cranksets or bike pedals and you can rest assured that you will definately find the best product for the best price.

Its been several months since my Myrtle Beach Golf trip and I am ready to go back for seconds, thirds and forths…I remember how much fun and relaxation I had during this trip. It was amazing in every aspect.  This was truly one othe BEST vacations I have had in a very very long time.

Golf Myrtle Beach may sound like an average outing, but its contrary. I am telling you, do yourself a favor and book your Myrtle Beach Golf Vacations now. Don’t wait for any special or specific occasion because you will be doing yourself a dis service. Just get up and go.  You will have the best time on the golf course as the greens are extremely immaculate and the course is great to play.  In addition to all this, the people there are very friendly and you will soon find yourself bonding with people from all over the country.

Myrtle Beach Golf Packages are easy to find and i can not, for the life of me, understand why they are still a hidden treasure.

I found a great site where I can actually play online and have fun doing it.   Whats more, is the fact that they even offer you a PKR Bonus Code to allow you to get some additional free features.  The one thing I was really amazed at was the lifelike 3D graphics on this gaming site.

The PKR Bonus is basically free money that you are given once you sign up.  I mean listen, you’re going to sign up anyway…somewhere….right well, might as well sign up and receive some money for it.  It really is that simple. If you need more convincing, just read what the general public and other members are saying about this.  The PKR Review has all the details as well as information that you will need to make up your mind.  This is something you will definately thank me for later…..trust me!!!

What a night of boxing!!!

A bunch of friends and I went to se Art’s fight last night at Club Nokia put on Oscar DeLa Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions  and we were treated to an amazing display of boxing put on by Art.  He controlled the entire fight and dropped his opponent 3 times before the ref stepped in and called off the fight.

The crowd was great and the atmosphere was fun. A perfect night for boxing.  The fight was attended by a number of HyeFighters and it was great seeing all the guys come out and support each other.

Art with friends and fans!!!

My good friend HyeFighter Art “Lionheart” Hovhanissyan is ready and eager for his fight tonight in Los Angeles at the Nokia Club across the street from the Staples Center.  He will be fighting on the Golden Boy Promotions event and with a win here (which I am certain he will get) his career will get the exposure it needs to take off.

Art has always been a crowd favorite because his fighting style is exciting and appealing to all fans.  He has speed, power and slick moves.  He can bang with the best of them as well as box like an Olympic champion.  This will be a huge fight for him and we will all be there cheering him on to victory.

With the beginning of the new school year, the after school recreational programs have also started.  This year< i have volunteered to help out and my first assignment was to look for and make recommendations on where to purchase the trophies.  It seems that in previous years not much thought had been given to this and there were a lot of bad mistakes that occured because of it.  For instance, 2 years ago, the after school sports leagu received a shipment of golf trophies instead of Basketball Trophies.  Needless to say this led to a last minute scramble and twice the amount of money was spent to remedy this situation.

This past example has led everyone on the committee to be extra careful and cautious for this year.  That is why we are ordering our soccer trophies at the beginning of the season to make certain that if there is an error in shipping, we have ample time to make the change and have our trophies in time for the end of the season.  We all remember how it was when we were younger,  the trophies were what we were all playing for and waited all season long to get our hands on the next year’s trophies.  Things haven’t changed.  Kids today are the same way and we as parents and coaches understand and will do what it takes so that our children are not disappointed.

Soccer season is about to start for both of my sons and that means getting them geared up with the right soccer equipment so they can be both comfortable and protected.  The problem I have is that the stores carry only low end or high end equipment.  I need more of the middle end type equipment.  And for this I have found that nothing is better than online shopping.  Additionally, I want to use an online service that has already done the price comparisons for me.  I do not have the time to go thru the price comparison process.

Obviously, my biggest purchases are the cleats and shinguards. Which are purchased new every season.  On line shopping for these items or any other soccer gear, has many advantages, the biggest of which is the ability to find the best deal.  When purchasing these types of items I look to do a lot of side by side comparisons to see what new technologies are implemented in the new equipment lines and decide if it is something useful or worth having.  Additionally, the selection of available items are so much more on line than in stores and the best part about that is that you dont have a pesky salesperson trying to sell you the most expensive item as opposed to the one you need.

The online shopping site I use should list all the available sales and make it easy for me to find what I am looking for.

I am a huge sports fan.  However, it is only recently that I have discovered football….as in soccer.  And, once I learned about the game, it actually became very very fun to watch.  I think what helped make it fun was the fact that there are so many games on any given day and, realistically, there is no “off season”.  The game is played worldwide 12 months a year.

One of the reasons I like sports so much, is the fact that I can always make the game more interesting by wagering on the outcomes and performances.  Football, in this case is great for this.  All I need to do is check the football fixtures to see what the bookmakers are thinking, place my wager and check the livescore periodically to monitor what is happening.  And, because there are so many games every day, there is never a dull moment.  The excitement is very high and the quality of the game is extraordinary.

I really believe that this game is about to take off and become huge in the US very soon.  Football is the world’s sport and we here in the states are slowly starting to see this and changing our preception of the game.

The economy is “pretending” to get better…yes, I did say pretending because I am not convinced the worst is yet over.  I think the banking industry will be hit hard next.  As such, I am telling anyone and everyone who listens to purchase gold.  As the volatility of the financial system is on such a hairline trigger, the only thing that makes sense is to purchase gold coins because the monetary system is still based on and backed up with gold.

When you purchase gold coin you are actually investing in the value of money at the time of the investment.  As money becomes less valued, the product backing it becomes more valuable. Hence, the growth in your investment.  In simpler terms, the amount of gold you can purchase with X amount today, will be more than the amount of gold you can purchase with that same X amount in the future.

If you look at history and try to identify those investors who came thru recessions unscaved, you will soon realize the commonality between these types of investors.  More often than not, you will see that gold was the investment vehicle for them all.

When you purchase bullion, you are insuring that the value of your investment will not decrease. Purchase gold bullion and make sure your investment makes it thru bad times and provides a return that will probably be better than any other investment that can be made during bad times.

I am a huge sports fanatic.  When it comes time to watch TV, my first choice is always SPORTS.  However, regular cable tv is horrible for showing sporting events from across the country.  College football is a great example of this.  Cable TV stations try to give “fair” amount of air time to all conferences.  But being from California, I really don’t care at all for games or teams from the north east.  I want my Pac 10 football.  This is why I switched to Direct TV.

With Directv, I can watch all the Pac 10 conference games that are scheduled and not be forced to watch a conference game from some other conference.  And, since college football season is right around the corner, you know I will be ordering Direct TV in California so I can watch all my games.  I have my Saturdays and Sundays planned already. My weekends will consist of watching  football, football and more football.  Last year, I got into fantasy football, and learned a lot.  So this year I will need to follow all the games that my fantasy players are in so I can get better and have a more of a routing interest in the game.

I got my Direct TV and all I am waiting for now is for the season to start.  The pre-season games were all great and gave me a taste of what I can expect in the next few months and I am so looking forward to it.
