Good morning everyone

Yes, I know it is a sunset photo but sometimes if u r really lucky here in Kentucky you get a sunrise that looks like this! Only in the fall and winter do you get the best chances to see these colors.

Today is going to be a big day for me so posting will be late, however I was wondering if everyone was aware of the changes to the blog list on the right side of the site? What do you all think? Keep or ditch???

I am still working on how to link up pages to this blog so I can have separate pages for the characters and the info that goes along with Bleach and Naruto.
Why bother to do that if all these great sites do it? One more site with the info can not hurt, right? And its fun as you make the pages you do learn stuff you did not know about the characters and story line.

so check back later this afternoon for my Bleach and Naruto Posts ~

Where would you go for the best Diamond Jewelry?

Diamond Jewelry makes the perfect Christmas gift for your loved ones, whether your Mother, sister, wife or daughter. Diamonds have an illustrious history dating back as jewelry to the early 4th century BC in India. They are colorless, yet sparkle with every color of the rainbow and when a woman wears them she feels like a Queen. No other gemstone gets as much attention from jewelers or the people who buy them, and some of the most haunting history comes from stories about famous diamonds. The Hope Diamond is one such diamond, from its original owner King Louis XIV of France who while owning the stone went through the French Revolution to Henry Hope who after owning it died penniless, to the last owner who gave it to the Smithsonian Institute this diamond was said to be cursed. Another historically famous diamond was the Taylor-Burton Diamond, given to Elizabeth Taylor by Richard Burton. It was a 69 carat stone that Ms Taylor wore at the 40th birthday party for Princess Grace's in Monaco and in 1978 sold to fund a hospital in Botswana.

No other gemstone gathers as much attention and the one business that brings as much sparkle to diamonds as the stone itself is Blue Nile. They have an outstanding collection of Diamond Jewelry with well educated people to help you in your buying journey and free shipping as well.
Whether you are looking for Diamond Earrings or a Diamond Necklace you will find many styles and price ranges to help you with your decision.

Sears is having a Veterans Day Sale ~ Great Deals to be had

Sears Veterans Day Sale is happening from November 9th 2008 until November 11th 2008. There are amazing deals to be had, such as these Levis 512 Slimming Jeans at a unbelievable price of $23.99!

They are having a 60% off all outerwear for him and her sale, and with what looks to be a harsh winter coming on this deal could not come at a better time.

You can also find other great deals at Sears today. How about $300 off a 46 inch Samsung HDTV, or how about a new set of dinnerware for the upcoming holidays? I love the colors in this set. If you order you get free shipping on orders of $99 or more and Sears has gift cards, gift registries and if you sign up for email notifications you even get $10 in coupons! Great deals all the way around. Make your Christmas shopping experience a bit easier this year, and start with Sears.

Today is not about awesome sale of course, Veterans Day is a day to remember the sacrifice made for our freedoms we all share in, it is a day to say thank you to every service member you may pass in Sears. Please remember to visit a VFW Hall or maybe donate your time once a week to a Veterans Hospital. The vets are our living reminders of just how precious our freedoms are, and we have the moral obligation to never forget their supreme sacrifices made so that we would not have to.

You all have made me secure in my home with my children, have given me untold opportunities to be safe, happy and to realize my dreams.
No words I say can ever repay your devotion to country, but I say thank you just the same.
To everyone who reads this blog, please ... when you see a Service member of our Armed Forces today, please tell them thank you. And don't just do it today, do it everyday.
My son serves proudly in the US NAVY, I salute him and his fellow sailors today. I work hard to make sure that all service members are given the proper respect due them for making sacrifices beyond measure for all of us.
God Bless each one of you on this day, and all days. We love you, we know your sacrifices, and we hold you in our prayers each day.

Layway helps during the Christmas Holidays

The XBox 360, the single thing all my kids want for Christmas, and the one thing that unless I can use Layaway I wont be able to get them. I used to love when that large chain of stores whom I will not name would start the Christmas Season Layaway, but alas they no longer have this option. Shame, because in my section of the state so many families counted on this for helping and with our economic state being what it is this option is more needed than ever before.
Well there is one retail chain that still have layaway, the only one from what I hear - Kmart. With Kmart Lay-Away you can go into the store nearest you ( use this link to find a store near your location) and then get your purchases together go to the lay away section of the store and place a small down payment and then just make bi weekly payments until you reach the total. That is it, no credit, no interest its a perfect deal.

Now at least if I can get the down payment together I will be able to get the kids an XBox 360 and a few games. And I will be able to do so without stressing over the cost or worrying about being accepted for credit and it will be a new system, not used which never ends up working out well for me.

Naruto Manga Chapter 424

Naruto Manga: Determination

Naruto's latest manga chapter,Entitled Determination, Kakashi's battle with Pain still continues,but things become a little more difficult when some one unexpectedly get killed?!?!

this Chapter is definitely a must-read!
You can download this chapter at NarutoFan ,or just read it at OneManga or Bleach Exile, and while you're at it check out this preveiw of this weeks Chapter

NarutoFan also has this weeks Episode so check that out and possibly if you want to download it , or just skip on down to Anime Media and watch it.

Also, last night I was talking about catching up with Bleach Synopsis web sites, and I thought it would be cool if I placed the very first episode of Bleach here for your viewing pleasure!

Enjoy :-)

In need of new Personal Checks?

If your in the market for new checks then there is a website you just have to check out! It is called Carousel Checks and it has a great selection with even better pricing! We all know that most times we use a check cashing card, called a debit card for our purchases, and shopping online has made having checks even less necessary.

But what happens when your out in a different area than where you live, and all of a sudden your in need of a check because the store or business wont take a debit card? That is where Personal Checkscome in totally handy! This means that if your stuck in a small town with a flat tire or trashed engine you can still stay over night in a hotel instead of sleeping in your car!

Checks are also nice to have because you can insert them into a card to send to a child for their birthday. It is those personal times when you do not want to be whipping out your ATM card, right? And at Carousel checks you can pick all sorts of neat styles. I love the Animal Checks, there are Cats Checks that totally rock as well as baby animals.
No matter what your personal style is they have a selection of checks to cover it, with a really good shipping price and great turn around time.

*Rukia* and Aizen and the Soul Society

Aizen and the Soul Society

I have been thinking much about this story line we now see in Bleach. I am a new comer to the story myself ( my kids are the Lords of the story) but I am beginning to see that I must start at the very beginning and catch up. I love romance and this story is certainly filled with that, as well as high drama and justice.
My question now is , will Aizen battle and win over the Soul Society and should they be helped after trying to kill Rukia? Was Rukia right to have helped Ichigo in the first place???

Are there any crib notes for this show?
So that is my post for tonight, to find the best synopsis sites for Bleach, complete with commentary for we poor souls who are late to the party and need help catching up.
I found Bleach Story Synopsis first ~ and Endless Bleach as well. I think I prefer the set up at Endless Bleach just check out what it has, an about page for Kubo Tite, an introduction to Bleach, then character biographies, movies, game information, location guides, ghost types ... you name it! And there is a Zanpaku-to Guide too. I will be adding more to this as time goes on, but its a start to help those who are just now getting into Bleach.

Do it right the first time and you will never regret it

Some times when you are about to try something new, you do one of two things ( if you are like me that is) you either jump into the new event with both feet and both eyes closed or you sit and wonder and chew it over until it is nothing but a distant memory.

This is how it has been for my search for web hosting for my websites. I already know that there are a few of the biggies out there that I sure do not want to deal with, but I wish I had been lucky enough to have learned these particular companies were not the greatest by checking out WebHostingReport.com first!
Great little website top compare all the different major web hosts out today, as well as other information such as Linux Hosting information.

A Major Listing of Anime Websites ~ OVGuide.com

I found from a Tech Blog of all places, Techradar.com the mother load of Anime Websites, mostly for videos. The post is called 50 Websites you'll wonder how you lived without
and it has many websites in this article , not just video so I really suggest a read as it covers all one needs to use on or off the Internet.

The main site is called OVGuide ( Online Video Guide) and it has to the left a sidebar where you can choose your topics, and of course for this blog we choose Anime and here I will list just a few of the websites I liked but you can see the entire listing by clicking here:

OVGuide - Anime Topic

The first few I found on the website that seemed to be good for all things, not just video are:

AnimeWoot -
It has a forum, a section with all the Anime Shows, and a chat on each shows page. CUrrently there are 192 episodes that are working on the site to view. There is also an Anime shop that has
the Manga for sale. The show listing looks pretty extensive, so check them out.

Next up in my review is JustDubs ~

This site has the dubbed episodes of Bleach to 86 and two movies. If your not into hearing it in Japanese only, this is the place for you. Nice website, easy to use.

The next website I will place here is AnimeVegeance Videos ~

While this site also has all the major names in Anime as videos to view, it is a bit cluttered and harder to use than the other two. There is a forum, video, graphics and even radio to listen to although I did not use the radio.

The last website to be reviewed today is AnimeThat ~

I love the peaceful colors, easy on the eyes. Nice to see first off when you come to a website.
This site is current to episode 181 and also sports forums.

The best thing about all these websites is the fact that while you can go to see your favorite Anime you can also get hooked on shows you may not have seen otherwise. This is a perfect way to expand your Anime knowledge and have a great time.

And remember OVGuide.com is not just for anime there are many many other topics to choose from, beware though that there might be adult content so if your under age, please check out the website with your folks okay?

Buying Your Wedding Rings should be part of the happy memories your making.

After the reading I did the other night about Engagement Rings at BlueNile I kept on reading on how important Wedding rings are and let me tell you, BlueNile's Wedding Sets are amazing!
They have a selection to die for with so many choices in style its dazzling to the mind.
But there are many important factors to buying the right Wedding Rings. You need to either be a Gemologist yourself or you need a company who can help you make the best informed decision possible about the metals you will have your ring in, as well as the Diamonds you will have as the stones.

And since not many people are well versed in diamonds it really helps that BlueNile has the staff to help you in this most important choice.



Some of the most beautiful Wedding Bands BlueNile offers are the channel set and the Eternity Band. Personally I love the Eternity Bands, because they represent a lifetime full of love and hope to me. If I could, I would choose the Eternity Band in Platinum for its rarity and gracefulness in style.

BlueNile has to be the most awesome company on the Internet with the best prices around, but the most wonderful thing about BlueNile is the fact that they will lead you with a knowledgeable staff in the journey to buy your Wedding Bands and you can feel safe knowing that this purchase is the best one you will make.

New Bleach and Naruto Websites

Found two great new websites for Bleach and Naruto ~

The First website is 4Bleach.com which has great Bleach Episodes to watch online, free!
You can even watch the movies online, and the site links to a website that lets you have a month to month subscription to downloads that are legal! That website is NarutoShip.com.
The only downfall to these two websites is the fact that they do have popups so if your browser or connection is slow it will be hard to watch the shows. All in all good websites with a great service.

The other website is BleachAnime.org. ~

Bleach Anime.org has a forum to join with on going discussions that are current to today's date. I hate finding forums that are like a year or more old with no new discussions so this is great. Also
the site has pages for Character Profiles, MP3's and Wallpapers as well as the Manga to read.
It is a clean site, easy to use and has tons of information to keep every Bleach Fan happy for a long time.

Buying Diamonds or Engagement Rings?

If you are looking to buy either engagement rings or have your own Diamond Ring repaired with a new diamond, why not look at what BlueNile can offer you?
BlueNile offers the largest collection of Diamonds at the best price, some at 20 percent below traditional retail pricing. BlueNile also offer Ring Settings, with your choice of Gold, Silver,and Platinum. You can build your own ring by choosing the best diamond in your favorite cut and then you have your own memories that will stand the test of time.
BlueNile also has a collection of Jewelry from Gemstones, such as the prettiest
Heart Necklace made of Rubies and Diamonds. You can find Gentleman's Jewelry as well as Ladies which is very helpful especially at this time of the year with Christmas being only 55 shopping days away! So whether it is Engagement Rings, Wedding Bands, or other genres of Jewelry BlueNile is the best company to start your buying with.

Looking for a New Couch?

Buying Couches is not as easy a task as it used to be back in the day. Today there are literally hundreds of styles and just as many choices in coverings. You can choose from sectionals, Sofas and simple love seat arrangements.My first choice has been leaning toward Leather as a covering lately. Leather Couches just have that timeless beauty and seem to fit almost every decor you can possibly think of. At BuyCouchesOnline.com I found a sweet Leather Sofa Set, the Burnished Tobacco Leather Sofa that has the styling I have long been wishing for. The cost is awesome as well, at $1950.00, a savings of over 55 %! There is also also a gorgeous leather and fabric chair to go with the sofa.

And if your choices run toward the Sectionals, check out their Premium Leather Sectional.
That sectional would be great in a large living room with high ceilings. Can you tell I watch way too much HGTV? An ottoman is also offered to go along with the Sectional so you can be sure to match your set perfectly.

So if you are looking for a great sectional or sofa at a awesome price, check out BuyCouchesOnline.com for all the greatest and latest styles and prices.

Naruto ~ Ultimate Ninja Heros 2 Phantom Fortress Review

There is a review of Naruto Ultimate Ninja Hero's Phantom Fortress over at PSPdownloads.biz today:

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 2: The Phantom Fortress is the second game in the series for the PlayStation Portable. It is a casual fighting game. It may just as well be a revamped version of its predecessor, and while it still has its own share of problems, you’ll find Phantom Fortress to be more entertaining, and considerably longer.

The reviewer seems to like the game and describes many of its features in detail which is great if your trying to decide on whether or not to shell out the cash for a game. To read the rest of the review please click here.

Also, found another awesome blog ~ Naruto Chaos.
The site has the latest chapter ~ 422 available to read about. There is also a extensive Image Gallery at the blog ~
I love finding these blogs, if you have a blog you would like to see reviewed and listed here, leave a note!!! One final note about Naruto Chaos, they have the bloodlines listed, see this link.
