Looking to start a business

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

If you’re looking to start a new business, but you want to reduce the risk that this venture causes, a franchise may be for you. If you’re looking for a franchise opportunity, then this is the site for you. It lists out many different franchise options for almost every type of business imaginable. Using the blueprints for business that others have already shown to be successful is a great way to reduce risk and give yourself the best possible chance for success.

Ninja Warrior

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

Now that I’ve moved to a region that has the G4 network on basic cable, I can’t get enough of Ninja Warrior, a Japanese game show where contestants move through an extremely difficult obstacle course. Over the past ten years, there have been 20 competitions of Ninja Warrior. Each competition features 100 athletes. That makes an even 2000 competitors. Now here’s the thing. Only two people have ever completed the obstacle course.

It changes every year and usually becomes more difficult. The insanity of many of the obstacles is just incredible. That’s one difference between cultures. This show would never have started in America. We have to have a winner at the end of the competition. It wouldn’t be good enough to have everybody lose. The popularity of the show is growing dramatically in this country, so maybe we will have an American version of this show soon. That would be really cool.

Prescriptions

A lot of prescriptions are available online nowadays, but you have to remember to be careful where you get these controlled substances. Phentermine is a controlled substance and a form of amphetamine so you’ll need a doctor’s prescription before you try to order any of this stuff. The site lists all of the possible side effects and other prescriptions that might interact negatively with the Phentermine.

New Edition

No, not the old Bobby Brown group.

Dungeons and Dragons has a new ruleset out. It means a lot of money for the new books and a lot of time spent learning the ins and outs of all the new rules, but things look pretty interesting.

Gnomes and half-orcs are out as player characters but still in the game as monsters. New elves, dragon people, and evil tieflings are in as player characters with all sorts of new and weird abilities.

The entire magic system has been revamped along with just about every other rule. Every character also gets abilities that are at least like magic depending on their class. Can’t wait to give it a try.

They released some videos with interviews of monsters and characters. They’re pretty funny, even for non-D&D fans. My favorites are the mind flayer and the gnome.
