Husqvarna HU800AWD
[caption id="attachment_1486" align="alignnone" width="802"] Husqvarna HU800AWD[/caption] We bought this at Lowes for $456.05 out the door. List $499.00 - 10% coupon ($49.90) + $26.95 PA state tax - $20 rebate. The reviews were very good. My personal review. This is a great lawnmower. (9.5 out of 10) It has lots of power, doesn't leave clumps of grass when not using the bag, and is very comfortable to walk behind. Also, while we were putting together the catcher bag, one of the clips broke. We contacted Husqvarna support and instead of just sending us a new clip, they send us an entirely new bag. That is good service and is greatly appreciated that they back their product. Husqvarna HU800AWD The HU800AWD walk behind lawn mower features all-wheel drive which provides users with balance and power to all four wheels in hilly, uneven terrain and other tough mowing conditions. This rugged mower features a 22" heavy-duty steel deck and a powerful 190cc Honda engine. The AWD mower features a 3-in-1 cutting system allowing it to bag, mulch and side discharge, as well as a side bumper that doubles as a grass rake to pull in the grass for a clean trim.

Cutting the Cord (cable or satellite)
"Cutting the cord" refers to choosing not to pay for cable or satellite television. In my situation, by subscribing monthly to DISH, I would be paying $73.99 per month for the "America's Top 120" package. With the additional taxes and charges that are added, my total monthly cost would be $80.00. That is $960.00 for a year. I use the HomeWorx Digital TV Flat Antenna for FREE Digital reception on your television. The cost is $9.99 and is commonly on sale for $7.99 shipped free. I get a total of 22 channels, including ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX. There are many, many choices of Antennas (indoor and outdoor). A higher prices does not always equate to a better antenna. Look here for an excellent article about how to choose an antenna that is best for you. You can use this webpage to find channels that may be available in your area. If you have a good Internet connection (5.0 Megabits per second is recommended for HD quality by Netflix), you can choose one of the many streaming services.

The End of Support for Windows XP
[caption id="attachment_1484" align="aligncenter" width="680"] The End of Support for Windows XP[/caption] The end of support for Windows XP is here. According to Microsoft, you have two options. There is really only one viable option (assuming you want a Windows PC). Buy a new or refurbished PC with Windows 7 or Windows 8. Dell often will have specials for new desktops for $300.00 or under. (which will include the operating system) Sample DELL PC to buy Most new PC's have Windows 8.1 installed. Probably the best choice is to buy a refurbished PC. On this page, you can get a nice HP computer for around 100 dollars. This computer includes Windows 7. The cost of the Windows 7 operating system happens to be also around 100 dollars. So, there really is just one option.
Steelers Draft 2014
Steelers Draft History The Steelers Draft for 2014 is of paramount importance to them. After two lackluster seasons with a record of 8-8, the Steelers need to re-equip in order to make the playoffs in 2014. The stars are aging, however, they should be just fine for the short term. A few rookies stepped up last year and will be needed again this year. My advice for this year: the offense needs to be less BEN-centric and the defense needs to be less TROY-centric. Let's step up guys and it could be a great year! The following are my picks (from a virtual draft): Round 1: Darqueze Dennard, Michigan State, CB Round 2: Stephon Tuitt, Notre Dame, DE Round 3: Kelvin Benjamin, Florida State, WR Round 4: Ronald Powell, Florida, LB Round 5: De'Anthony Thomas, Oregon, RB Round 6: James Hurst, North Carolina, OT Round 7: Isaiah Johnson, Georgia Tech, SS I have two other considerations for Round 1: Kyle Fuller and Jason Verrett, both CB. And the Steelers actual picks: Round 1: Ryan Shazier, Ohio State, LB Round 2: Stephon Tuitt, Notre Dame, DE Round 3: Dri Archer, Kent State, RB Round 4: Martavis Bryant, Clemson, WR Round 5:...Read More
