July 26th, 2009
The Shades of Green has gone through a lot of upgrades over the years but none has caught my attention and made me pause like the latest addition around the pool. (Read the rest of the story…)

One Problem With Cap and Trade
June 30th, 2009
Cap and Trade, a bill made it through the House of Representatives last week, advocated by President Obama, will set up the first mandatory U.S. greenhouse gas limits on oil refineries, power plants and other industrial facilities.
Progress Energy is a power company that generates electricity for hundreds of thousands of homes in Florida and beyond. I want to discuss the effects Cap and Trade may have on Progress Energy, specifically the power plants located at Crystal River.
Crystal River Units 1&2 are two of the oldest and dirtiest coal burning plants (Read the rest of the story…)

Captured by Twitter
June 9th, 2009
Every morning I wake up, run up the stairs to my home office, fire up the CPU and open up Twitter. I do this prior to checking email, new blog comments and any web site issues.
Twitter has captured me and has yet to release it’s ransom demands.
Don’t get me wrong, Twitter – namely the people I follow, offer me a trusted portal to current events and pretty good banter. I do take the time to research each prospective person I will follow, I look at a number of things ranging from their bio, twits and web site/blog (if any) the person may have.
I’m sure, as with most things, I will budget my time better to become more productive here on my blog – until that time comes bare with me and if you don’t already, come Twit with me! NavyCS on Twitter
My last 20 Twits (short term resume) just before article publish. (Read the rest of the story…)

Politics is Why You Should Buy
March 11th, 2009
President Obama
President Obama has recently proposed a budget outline for 2010 that contains some programs he feels will balance social issues with growth in our nations economy. His political capital will not be enough to carry the day if the stock market hangs in mediocrity.
Individuals are starting to wake up to the fact that their investments into 401K have lost much more than proposed tax cuts for those who make less than $250,000 will gain. President Obama’s political capital will have to remain at (Read the rest of the story…)

Snowing in Memphis
February 28th, 2009
OK, I moved away from Boston almost 6 years ago – great city. Being a Floridian the one thing I didn’t miss about the northeast was the snow.
For the 6 years we have lived in the Memphis area we have come to expect about an inch of the white stuff every year, seems we are getting about 4 years worth in one day today.
Somebody tell me again why global warming is a bad thing… (Read the rest of the story…)

Very Bitter, Somewhat Sweet
December 28th, 2008
Buccaneers Flag
First the bitter – Today the 2008 football season for my beloved Buccaneers came to an end. Just a few short weeks ago I thought for sure we would be entering the playoffs, heck we were 9-3! Tampa Bay’s defense, for whatever reason, started to self-destruct in the 4th quarter. The once feared defense started making mediocre/bad teams look good down the stretch. They just looked slow, wore out. I look forward to the draft, we need another Warren Sapp!
Now the sweet – The Dallas Cowboys lost! The Cowboys, in a must win game, lost to the Eagles 44-6.
The Eagles lost their last game in their old stadium and first game in their new stadium to the Bucs. I hope the schedule next year has the Ravens playing the Cowboys in their first home game next year… Actually, it doesn’t matter to me who does it – I just want the Cowboys to lose 
Now for my predictions for the 2008 NFC playoffs…. (Read the rest of the story…)

December 24th, 2008
“Oh, the weather outside is frightful…” OK, yes, you are very lucky your not in ear shot but I can’t help singing during the holidays! This time of year always brings families and friends closer together. It is really the only time of year you send cards to people you may not have seen or heard from in months!
I challenge you this holiday season pick up the phone and call someone, call that old friend from high school or a family member you haven’t seen in ages. Share the spirit of Christmas! Since I don’t have all your phone numbers (almost had a million people visit NavyCS this year ) – from my family to yours – please have a safe, happy holiday and may God bless!
Where is my eggnog?!! (Read the rest of the story…)

Relax and Watch the Panda
November 13th, 2008
My oldest son visited the Memphis Zoo and took this video of a panda eating some bamboo. Watching it seems to relax me almost as much as the panda seems to enjoy eating. Enjoy
