Mountain View, CA (ContentDesk via ContentDesk Direct) February 8, 2006 -- PicksPal.com players proved once again they really know their pro football, as the free online sports picks sites Big Game Blowout Contest came to an end with a site-wide predicted Pittsburgh win and the occurrence of several long shot props. While many sports experts did have Pittsburgh beating Seattle, only PicksPal.com players were sure of the otherwise surprising plays during the big game. For example, 78 percent were sure that someone besides Ben Roethlisberger would throw a pass for the Steelers, and 93 percent knew that a TD pass would go for over 35 yards during the game; both of which were covered in one play: Antwaan Randel Els bomb to Hines Ward. A majority of PicksPal.com players also covered the games over/under, adding to their streak of accurate predictions stemming from the conference championships. Other long shot props featured on PicksPal.com that took place during Sundays big game were Roethlisbergers TD dive, Willie Parkers 75 yard TD run, and Kelly Herndons 76-yard interception return.
And although the odds were not too steep, 78% of PicksPal.com players also accurately predicted that the Rolling Stones would sing Start Me Up during their halftime performance.
PicksPal.com gives players free points each week to pick events and props from pro football, pro basketball, college basketball, hockey and other sports. At the end of the week, the players with the most points win prizes such as iPods, portable DVD players, and for special events such as the Big Game Blowout Contest, even big screen HDTVs. The winner of the Big Game Blowout Contest and a 42-inch plasma flat panel HDTV was Larry, who uses the famous Stooge as his moniker. I looked towards Curly and Moe for advice on sports picks, but they just kept trying to poke my eyes out, said Larry, hopefully the TV will be here before the next Stooge marathon though. With the March mania surrounding the mens college basketball tournament right around the corner, Larry will be set to watch all the action on high definition as he competes in PicksPal.coms College Basketball Bracket Contest, which will also feature big prizes.
The Picking Order (the sites main blog) previewed the action when it stated Everyone is invited to (Larrys) house for the Final Four. If they find him there, that is. When asked what he was going to do now that he won the Big Game Blowout Contest, Larry responded Im going to Disneyworld! And because Larry couldnt afford the flight to Orlando, he added and Im taking the bus. About PicksPal.comPicksPal.com is a free, national online contest to find the best sports pickers.

This article explains the differences between plasma versus LCD TVs, then shows you how to get the best price for a plasma or LCD TV.
Plasma TV

Vitamin C Overdose
Using Vitamin C products beyond recommended the limits may cause stomachaches and diarrhea. Even though the body would only use as much as it needs of the vitamin, Vitamin C Overdose can hinder metabolic activities in the body.
The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for Vitamin C in nonsmoking adults is 75 mg per day for women and 90 mg per day for men. For smokers, the RDAs are 110 mg per day for women and 125 mg per day for men. A dose of 200 milligrams daily is almost enough to maximize plasma and lymphocyte levels.
Higher levels of Vitamin C are needed when under environmental stress such as trauma, fever or infection. Full saturation is reached with daily intakes of 200-500 mg per day (in 2-3 divided doses). This is a water-soluble protein, and anything in excess is excreted by the body. Vitamin C Overdose can cause diarrhea, gas, or stomach upset. Other side effects could be stomach cramps, nausea, and diarrhea, and an increased risk of developing...
