Tile Setter requirements (on average)

Jobs such as (but are not limited to) teachers, lawyers, physicians, CIA, FBI, or NSA agents are excellent examples of jobs that require a bachelor's or higher and a considerable deal of work experience, which in turn, requires the need for a resume. However, there are some jobs such as McDonalds' Meijer, Panera Bread, and so on that do not require a college degree and in turn a resume. One such example is the Tile Setter. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average yearly rate is around $37040-46250 and an hourly rate is around $17.81 per hour. In education/work experience, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average Tile Setter typically requires a High School Diploma or GED and a huge majority of these tile setters learn on the job, starting as a helper or similar position.

Perhaps the most inexpensive phone bill one will ever pay (Straight Talk Wireless)

Have you ever got your bill from Verizon, AT&T, or other company and realized that you paid too much? Well, your prayers will be answered. That is because there is a moblie phone plan that is just like them but the only difference is that it is only $45 per month. The plan is known as Straight Talk Wireless. The plan consists of unlimited talk, text and data for only $45 per month. As the commercial suggests, "same phone, same networks, and half the cost." The plan also has no hidden fees and no contracts. Straight Talk Wireless is available at Wal-Mart.

Virginia Tech Hokies football

Obviously the Virginia Tech Hokies were extremely good back when they had Michael Vick, Kam Chancellor, Josh Morgan, and so on. Now, Virginia tech is alright in football (that is 6 wins or more). However, their bowl streak is still intact. This is largely thanks to the work of head coach Frank Beamer. It also happens that his son Shane is also the associate head coach.

Let's go back to the year 2008. In 2008, the Virginia Tech Hokies were 10-4 overall. A year later in 2009, they were 10-3 overall and defeated the Tennessee Volunteers in the Chick-Fil-A bowl. In 2010, after and 0-2 start, Virginia tech was 11-3 overall. In 2011, the Virginia Tech Hokies were a consecutive 11-3 record overall. In 2012 though, things started to go downhill for them (though they did get to 6 wins and to a bowl game). In 2012, the Hokies were 7-6 overall with a Russell Athletic Bowl win over the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. In 2013, the Virginia Tech Hokies improved to an 8-5 record overall. In 2014 the Hokies were the same record as 2012, that is 7-6 overall with a Military bowl win over the Cincinnati Bearcats 33-17. Extra! Extra! It seems that Frank Beamer will return in 2015.

The Biggest Non-Predatory Fish in the World

There are various sorts of fish on our planet, Earth. But the biggest fish in the world that is not a predator is without doubt the Whale Shark. Basically, picture "a shark the size of a whale." As its common name implies, its massive size will remind one that encounters it of whales. Do not worry if you encounter a Whale Shark because "although it may have 3000 sharply hooked teeth, they are only a few millimeters long." This massive whale-sized shark could easily swallow a diver even though "there is nothing to fear from that gigantic mouth because it is really just a big sucker." In other words it is a filter feeder that "feeds on plankton, krill, and macroalgae." While the Whale Shark feeds on the plankton and krill, "like a gigantic vacuum cleaner, it sucks up sea water and filters plankton from nearly a million liters of water every hour." At this rate, "That is more than enough to fill an Olympic sized swimming pool."  Considering it's graceful nature, an encounter with a Whale Shark will not be a nightmare, but a very special occasion.

Considering how the whale shark eats a lot of plankton and krill, "anything this big that eats that much is sure to attract a crowd." In other words, "the whale shark is like a huge floating reef providing shelter for many species of fish and the odd leftover from that massive maw." Despite the whale shark almost constantly having its mouth open, "it is incredibly thick skinned. It's 15 centimeter hide is one of the thickest skins of any living animal."

History of Pittsburgh Panthers football

The University of Pittsburgh Panthers were pretty good back when they had Antonio Bryant, Larod Howling, Lesean McCoy, and Larry Fitzgerald, and today, they are fine in college football. Today, they are led by coach Paul Chryst. They also play in Heinz Field (the same stadium home of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL).

In 2002, the Pittsburgh Panthers under coach Walt Harris were a 9-4 record overall. This was back when Larry Fitzgerald was playing for Pitt. In 2003, the Pittsburgh Panthers were a 8-5 record overall under coach Walt Harris. In 2004, Pittsburgh was a 8-4 record overall under coach Harris. This is when Pitt had WR #81 Derek Kinder, RB#23 Tim Murphy, RB#2 Marcus Furman, WR#82 Kelvin Chandler, and QB Tyler Palko.

But, starting in 2008, Pittsburgh has been really been on their hot streak in good records. Back then, they were led by coach Dave Wannstdtedt. In 2008, Pitt was 9-4 overall. This was also the sophomore year of HB#25 Lesean McCoy, the senior year of HB#34 Larod Howling and WR#81 Derek Kinder. They also had QB Bill Stull. In 2009, Pitt was 10-3 overall. The following year, in 2010, Pitt was 8-5 overall and after the season, Dave Wannstedt left. In 2011, Pitt was 6-7 overall under Todd Graham. The following year in 2012, Pitt was 6-7 for a second straight year under first year coach Paul Chryst. In 2013, Pitt was 7-6 overall beating the BGSU falcons in the Little Caesars Bowl.

Sharing NFL Stadiums with College teams

Although some college football teams like the Michigan State Spartans, Nebraska Cornhuskers, Virginia Tech Hokies, Rutgers Scarlet Knights, Boston College Eagles, Texas Longhorns, UCLA Bruins, Arizona Wildcats, Oregon State Beavers, Oregon Ducks, and so on have their own stadiums to play at, other teams simply share the stadium with NFL teams. The precise teams consist of the Pittsburgh Panthers, Tulane Green Wave, Miami (FL) Hurricanes, South Florida Bulls, UMass Minutemen, Temple Owls, and San Diego State Aztecs. These teams most likely share the stadiums in an effort to save money. 

This relation does not only apply to NCAA and NFL teams though. For example, take Tropicana Field the host of the St. Petersburg bowl and also the home of the Tampa Bay Rays of the MLB. Also Back in the Day, the Cincinnati Bengals and Reds played in the same Riverfront Stadium. In 2014, the Cincinnati Bearcats play all of their home games at Paul Brown Stadium since Nippert Stadium is undergoing renovations due to be completed by 2015. 

Personally, I like the idea of sharing stadiums because if I were short on money, I would have to simply share a stadium with another team.

Nebraska Cornhuskers football at its peak (since 2008)

The Nebraska Cornhuskers football program has done rather well in 2002 (7-7), and 2003 (10-3), however, the Cornhuskers of Nebraska have really been at their best beginning in the year 2008 onwards under coach Bo Pelini.

In 2008, Bo Pelini made his coaching debut for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. In that year, he lead the Cornhuskers to a record of 9-4. In 2009, the cornhuskers did better than in 2008, as they went 10-3. In 2010, they were not as good as in 2009, since they were 10-4. But beginning in 2011 onwards, the Nebraska Cornhuskers would be in the Big Ten Conference. In 2011-their first season in the Big Ten Conference, the cornhuskers were 9-4. In 2012, they did better than in 2011, as they went 10-4. To this point, in 2013 the Cornhuskers of Nebraska were 9-4. It seems that the cornhuskers will still be at their peak in the here and now under coach Bo Pelini. However, after the 2014 season finale, Bo Pelini was fired and replaced by Mike Riley.
