Epidemic Enthusiasm and Pandemic Pride

2008-02-18T08:18:00.000-08:00

Every businessman knows that the key to turning customers into raving fans is to give exceptional customer service, to provide not only for the customer's needs but for their every want and desire even before they know that they have a want or desire. What eludes many business owners is how to provide that level of customer service. Literally hundreds of books have been written and seminars sold on how to improve customer service. Experts have employees imagining everything from mailboxes to Caribbean beaches all in the hope of improving customer service.

Walt disney World Resorts creates raving fans because they provide a vacation beyond your imagination. They accomplish this not through the miracles of animatronics or the amusement park atmosphere, these things can be found at hundreds of vacation destinations worldwide. Walt disney World Resorts creates raving fans by infecting their employees (known as cast members) with epidemic enthusiasm and pandemic pride.

So how do you start an epidemic in your business?

The key to creating an epidemic of enthusiasm is to turn your customer service inward. To create for your employees a career experience beyond their wildest imagination. Epidemic enthusiasm comes from an experience of the relationship between your employees and you. When employees feel that they are truly appreciated as your everyday hero and that by coming to work they leave invigorated and their life is enhanced rather than leaving tired and their life diminished then your employees become infected with enthusiasm for their work. When they see their careers, their employer in comparison to those of their peers elsewhere they cannot help but catching pandemic pride because their employer treats them so well.

There are two simple steps to enriching your employees' lives to the point where they know that they are valued and the infection of epidemic enthusiasm takes hold. Appreciation is the first of these two steps.

Robert is the CEO of a mediumsized company in South Central florida. Every morning when Robert arrives at 9:40 a.m. he walks through the entire building greeting every employee from janitor through the managers with a genuine eyeglinting smile and a hardy good morning. If an employee appeared down, upset, or distracted he would take a moment to ask them if they were all right, if there was anything that he could personally do to make their day just a little bit brighter and if there was he would do it. It was not unusual to see Bob, as he encouraged his employees to call him, carrying coffee or water or hot tea to somebody's desk just to make them feel a little better. Bob regularly said thank you for being here even though nothing special had been done yet. The day had just begun. His genuine enthusiasm and appreciation was warm, enveloping, and infectious. And it cost him nothing but a brief 20 minutes before his day began.

Robert is a living example of the first step to infecting your organization with epidemic enthusiasm and pandemic pride. The second step is to encourage resilience. There are six basic areas of human function:

* Physical

* Emotional

* Intellectual

* Social

* Behavioral

* Spiritual

Resilience has been described as mastery against adversity and by fostering the ability of your employees to show this mastery in the face of adversity either in the workplace or in their family or personal lives. You create an experience in their career that enriches their entire life. You make them masters not just of adversity but of their own destiny.

Resilience is built by filling six "canteens of resilience":

* Physical resilience

* Emotional resilience

* Intellectual resilience

* Relationship resilience

* Functional resilience

* Spiritual resilience

Physical resilience is exactly as the name would imply. It is the physical capacity to continue working in light of physical and even emotional stress. Physical resilience is enhanced through the maintenance of good health and a healthy lifestyle. Eating a balanced diet both at home and at work; regular exercise; and adequate rest, even during the disaster, are essential to "filling" your canteen of physical resilience and maintaining that resilience.

Emotional resilience deals directly with what we feel and how we respond to it. The old saying "attitude counts" was never more true than when filling your canteen of emotional resilience. Loving and being loved, including loving yourself; enjoying the everyday joys of life and ensuring that you have the opportunity for boundless joy and genuine happiness fill your canteen with the sweet emotions that counterbalance the bitterness of adversity. On the other hand, if you have filled your emotional canteen with despair; selfloathing; angst and animus then you will have nothing but bitter drags from which to drink when in the midst of a challenge.

Intellectual resilience is bolstered by the very act of learning and practicing the skills which you have learned. It is as we gain experience and knowledge we slowly imprint new patterns which we may later use to compare and ultimately recognize as familiar situations and events that unfold during an event. The more of these patterns that we have in our intellectual canteen the more quickly we can recognize and adapt to the ever changing business environment. When we can recognize these patterns quickly we can respond quickly thus bolstering our intellectual resilience.

Relationship resilience bolsters our social functioning. It is through our relationships with those that we hold dear, spouses and significant others; children and grandchildren; parents; relatives; friends; coworkers that we fill our canteen of relationship resilience with memories and comforting mental images that carry us through our times of separation. It is also these relationships that safeguard our lives and our emotions. It is through these relationships that we not only fill our canteens but keep them full and keep watch on each other.

Functional resilience bolsters our behavioral function. The skills that we have practiced in our day-to-day lives as we have moved through our careers are that with which we fill our canteen of functional resilience. Like the patterns in our canteen of intellectual resilience the skills of our functional resilience are no different at times of adversity than they are at times between challenges. We need only be able to access those skills more quickly and perform them more calmly.

Spiritual resilience is somewhat different because the canteen of spiritual resilience is not filled by what we believe, but rather by the fact that we believe. Research in the area of resilience has shown that the very act of believing enforces an even intelligence beyond ourselves, a higher purpose for higher power, bolsters our resilience, and improves our function and our likelihood to master adversity.

By assisting your team in developing resilience and maintaining that resilience they are not only better able to perform at work but in every other aspect of their lives.

Pam was the president of a small public relations firm and had an intimate understanding of the need to maintain full canteens of resilience. She had begun her professional career selling sports club memberships to highend clients and quickly learned that it was through demonstrating the benefits of health that she made the most sales. When she started her own company she maintained a treadmill in her office setting a visual example to employees and clients alike of the importance of personal health. She took a tremendous interest in her diet and her health care maintaining both at their peak potential.

She filled her life with positive affirmations and chose to allow negative emotional events and negative feelings to flow past her like water past a riverbank.

Her life was rich with friendships both personal and professional and if Will Rogers never met a man he didn't like, then Pam never met a person that she did not have a smile for. Always learning Pam invested time in both personal and professional readings as well as audiostudy programs and an everexpanding range of intellectual interests and selfstudy. Her full intellectual canteen paled in comparison to her canteen of relationships which was always full to overflowing as she would make new friends even during the mundane activities of going to the store or traveling on an airplane. She encouraged her employees to do the same reserving a part of one day a week to play games, brainstorm, and just enjoy each other's company in the office.

Pam also maintained her skills in all aspects of her business. Professional speaking and oneonone sales were part of the "personal touch" that allowed Pam to maintain some of the most soughtafter clients in the public relations world. Pam paid for her managers to travel with her to several key events each year so that they could maintain their skills in all aspects of the business as well as maintaining relationships with outoftown clients.

Pam's spiritual canteen was filled by her belief that there was a higher power in the universe, a greater consciousness which was both benevolent and allpowerful. Never one to impose her beliefs on others, she maintained space within the company for the free personal expression of belief within the confines of each employee's personal space.

By both leading by example and providing the template for success Pam imbued in her employees pride which became pandemic not just among those who worked for her but her people infected her clients, each of them as proud to say that her company represented them as she was to say that she represented each client.

Thus we see that epidemic enthusiasm and pandemic pride are infections created by those who own, operate, and lead the most successful businesses. It is this leadership and this attitude of employee service equal to customer service that creates employees that go on to turn loyal customers into raving fans that then spread the reputation and the name of your company.

How To Rent Video Games Online And Save a Fortune

2008-02-17T09:31:00.000-08:00

To rent video games online makes sense if you like to shop for them from the comfort of your own home.

The way it works is simplicity itself. You join a rental company and the games are then sent to you by them in a pre-paid envelope which you can also use to send the game back with the next game that you want to order. To choose your game all you do is log into the rental game site of your choice and order the game that you want. It's all done at the push of a button.

Here are a few pointers for what you need to look out when picking an online video game rental outfit online:

1. Are you a gamer that likes to play one game at a time and then order another or do you like to play many at a time? If the latter choose a site that offers a cheaper subscription offer if you order more than one game during the month.

2. The shipping cost should be covered by the subscription of the online video rental site, this ensures that you do not end up with further charges, especially if you like to order many games during the month.

3. Has the site got games for the console machine you play with? Most will have the most popular platforms like the playstation 2 or the xbox, but if you are a game cube fan or a PS1 owner be aware that some site will not stock games for them. So make sure that you check!

4. shop around for the best prices and special offers. Typically prices from one company to the next will be similar but special offers like a $1 trial for the first month or a free though shorter trial period can make a difference to your monthly expenditure.

Many sites online offer online video game rental, the most popular of which include gamefly, gplay and gottaply which at the moment offers a free 10 day trial (details of which you can find in the link after this article).

Finding The Right Home Security Equipment

2008-02-16T10:35:00.000-08:00

The majority of people think that you simply cannot choose to be too careful when it comes to the safety and protection of your family and home when you invest in home security equipment to guard their safety. Depending on your budget and your needs you can obtain home Security equipment as sophisticated or a simple as you wish.

Basic vibration detectors for your windows or door jam magnet contacts have a fairly easy installation procedure and guard the entry points of your home. For surveillance of the interior rooms, home security equipment can include devices such as motion detectors, which have options to adjust their sensitivity to compensate for household pets, yet detect a person passing through the protected area.

An additional helpful piece of home security equipment are what are known as infrared detectors, that measure ambient temperature changes of a monitored room and triggers the alarm if it notices any difference in temperature passing through. This function also allows for adjustments for any known changes.

Home security equipment can also include a dialer system, which instantly sends a phone call to a call center to alert of a break-in, a medical emergency or fire, depending on the particular home security equipment that triggers the alarm.

Closed-circuit television Helps Prosecute Criminals

Regardless of any installation of home security equipment that you have put in your home, you can help identify anyone who has broken into your home with a closed-circuit television system. Color cameras can be hardwired into your house, or through the use of a wireless home security camera that would assist in hooking them up easier.

They can be set up to record onto a VCR that is time lapse for a period of 24 hours, or onto a digital video recorder with the majority of them having a capacity to hold a constant stream of video for up to 30 days.

When choosing the kind of home security equipment you wish to have installed in your house, you should first go over your home and determine the highest probability entry points and the most effective way to cover them. Some likely surveillance options could be infrared switches, which trigger an alarm whenever the beam is broken, motion detectors and possibly what are called pressure mats which are installed underneath a carpet near a window or door.

There are also options such as a silent alarm and a dialer system, or a local alarm that will set off a loud siren, which is typically at least 200 decibels, or both. One of the benefits of a local alarm is frightening away potential burglars, however when using a silent alarm that notifies a call center you have the ability to catch additional burglars in the process of committing a crime. The downside to this type of home security equipment is you could end up face-to-face with a perpetrator before the authorities can get there.

Nutrition and Golf

2008-02-15T08:10:00.000-08:00

players are hitting the ball further than ever and there seems to be no limit to the distance that balls travel these days.

The likes of Bubba Watson and John Daly are making the old 240 yard drive look like a wedge from a perfect lie.

Yes, technology makes for more distance. The golf ball just travels further end extensive research into dimple patterns and ball construction has the inevitable result of more distance.

Manufacturers have changed the lofts on sets of clubs and sell that off as extra distance. Why? Because distance sells like nothing else! Everybody, even the tour pros want an extra ten yards.

The impact on golf courses and course design is enormous. Courses are being lengthened, the rough is longer and tougher, and greens are super fast and not receptive at all. Just watch the majors!

So what is the next big thing in golf? What is going to distinguish the individual from the pack? Can the local club golfer benefit from this as well? They do make up the bulk of sales anyway!

Chances are that it will be the diet. Yes, THE diet. Gary Player was most probably the first tour player who seriously worked out in a gym. These days mobile gyms are following the tour.

Then came technology and everybody jumped on the bandwagon to maintain a portion of this lucrative market. The positive side to that is that it makes it easier for the average player to start end to enjoy the game more with more forgiving clubs and some extra distance.

That is why the next big thing in golf just might be a proper, balanced diet. The demands on physical fitness and mental stamina on the major tours is increasing by the day. Physical training and fitness can only be successful when combined with a well-managed diet. We also know that 95% if the reasons for visits to the doctor can be related to what we eat - need I say more?

Now that you have revisited your membership at the local health club and spent your earnings on the latest technology, have a serious look at what you eat, and DO NOT forget to drink 1 to 2 liters of water every day!

The benefits of a proper diet and exercise with sufficient water are just too much to go into now. this just might be the next big thing in golf and life in general.

To your health!

The gym phase is a given, technology is advancing rapidly, and the diet will make a difference in the demands of the professional golf circuits.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship

2008-02-14T09:31:00.000-08:00

ufc is the ultimate fighting Championship, the best Mixed Martial Arts organization in the world. ufc is the trucker cage match that somehow got on TV. ufc is every bit as much MMA as PRIDE is.

ufc

ufc also is growing as a pay-per-view ticket, breaking some boxing (and pro wrestling) records and soon to break them all. UFCs Dana White might be out to take over the MMA world, but hell have to do it without the services of one of the biggest names in the sport. ufc: ultimate fighting Championship ufc is the main fighting group in the United States for the presentation of the ultimate fighting Championship. ufc is the ultimate fighting Championship, the best Mixed Martial Arts organization in the world. Could the best pound-for-pound fighter in the old combat sport (boxing) handle a champion in the new combat sport (UFC).

With the ever expanding number of cards the ufc is putting on each year it would still hurt to lose a guy you can put on a PPV with name recognition. The ufc is without any real competition (baring the PRIDE deal falling through) and isn't in the position to have to overpay for a fighter, albeit recognizable, who has now lost to Kalib Starnes in addition to Anderson Silva and Jason McDonald. The good thing is that ufc is expanding its programming on SpikeTv. With a cable television deal with Fox sports Net and now Spike TV, and legalization of MMA in California, a hotbed for MMA fandom, the ufc is currently undergoing a remarkable surge in popularity, along with heightened media coverage. Boxing is dead not just because boxing is worse than ever -- which it is -- but also because the ufc is better than boxing on all but boxing's best day. The ufc is spreading globally -- but that's not the TV breakthrough, either. Basically, the ufc is everything boxing should be. MMA in the ufc is now more of a sport- not ultimate fighting- if you get my meaning.

Improve Your Golf Game on the Back Nine

2008-02-12T09:56:00.000-08:00

All the major tournaments, especially the U.S. Open and the PGA, are a true test of endurance. They are usually located in a part of the country where it is hot, humid and muggy. A real physical and mental drain on any golfer.

Look who has been winning the Majors in the last couple of years: Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh. They have incredible endurance. It doesnt come by accident. They work at it.

Endurance is a word that is commonly associated with athletes such as marathon runners, tri-athletes, swimmers, and cyclists.

Granted, the majority of amateurs use a cart to play. This takes the walking part of the game out of the equation. Bit when most golfers break down, it has more to do with the endurance of the swing muscles than the walking part.

Think of endurance as the ability to perform the same activity over and over for an extended amount of time at max effort and peak performance. Relating this definition to, say, a marathon runner becomes pretty easy. A marathon runner, for example, has to have the cardiovascular (blood and oxygen) endurance to run 26 miles at a steady pace. In addition to having the cardiovascular endurance to run 26 miles, a marathoner needs to also have the endurance in their muscular system to again run 26 miles. If they do not, the body begins to give up and this is seen in the form of cramping, muscles not responding, and the body hitting the wall as many marathoners call it.

Endurance as it applies to the golf swing and the ability to perform the swing correctly is different than the intensity of running a marathon. But the underlying theme when it comes to endurance is the same. Swinging a golf club is a repetitive, explosive movement performed by the body. The muscles are active from address, back swing, transition, contact, and follow through in the same motor pattern every time you swing a club (or at least they should be; for some of us amateurs the swing path changes from time to time, but that is a subject for another article). Anyways, to perform the golf swing efficiently and effectively for an extended period of time (like 4 rounds of tournament golf) the muscles involved in the golf swing are required to have a certain level of endurance developed within them to sustain the swing.

Do you have enough gas in the tank?

It is essentially having enough gas in your tank to swing a club a given number of times. Now I referred to a four-day tournament, which is the average number of days a PGA tour event lasts, but when it comes to endurance and golf swing the number of swings in a tournament is only the beginning. Remember the definition of endurance is the ability of the body to perform a certain movement over and over for a given period of time. In relation to the golf swing and endurance we must also include a time frame. Let us first begin with looking at a typical four-day tournament. At the very least, we need enough endurance in the muscles that swing a club to hit all the shots from tee to green in 72 holes of golf. On top of just the tournament play you must add the additional practice time before or after the round. This could comprise anywhere from 2-3 hours of additional time swinging a club. Now, at this point we are just talking about a single tournament for a tour player.

Let us expand this time period to 7 days. A 7-day time frame for a tour player would consist of a 4-day tournament (Thursday through Sunday) in addition to 3 additional days in the week. Realize that those three other days during week are not rest days, but rather filled with work. First off, you have Wednesday, which, at most tournaments, is when the Pro-am is scheduled. If you are unaware of what a Pro-am is on tour, it is a round of golf usually held on Wednesday where each pro in the upcoming tournament is paired with three amateurs for a round of golf. So we can chalk this up to another round of golf. This again would comprise all the golf swing made during the round and any practice before and after.

We are up to Wednesday through Sunday of a tour week. Now what about Monday and Tuesday of a tour week? I would guess that it would be safe to say that probably most players take Monday off, not always, but most of the time. Tuesday is a whole different story. Tuesday is a practice day where a pro could spend 4 to 6 hours at the range, putting and chipping. The number of swings taken on Tuesday can be huge!

So there you have it, a full week on tour with an idea of the number of swings taken by a tour player over a 7-day time frame. Now take this number of swings and multiply it out over an entire season where an average player will participate in 25 tournaments. The numbers get really big looking at it from this perspective. I imagine at this point the connection between endurance and the golf swing has been made. It essentially comes down to this: to swing the club effectively on the correct path over an extended period of time, you need to develop endurance in your muscular system specific to golf. The next question to present is how do you do that?

Developing Endurance Specific to the Golf swing

So how do you develop endurance in the muscles that are used in the golf swing? You can not really do it by running or doing the Stair Master at your local health club. The reason why? These types of exercises are great for developing cardiovascular endurance and developing some musculature endurance in the legs, but they do not work all the muscles involved in the golf swing. And they certainly do not create endurance in these muscles in relation to how they are used to swing a club.

The methodology that is required to develop endurance in the golf swing requires you to perform what I call cross specificity exercises specific to the movements and positions in which the body placed during the swing. The result of this type of training is what we term a transfer-of-training effect. A transfer-of-training effect is where the exercises performed in your training program improve the performances on the field of competition. Field of competition, when it comes to golf, pertains to the golf course and your swing. So invariably we need to develop what I term golf endurance through exercises that are cross specific to the golf swing with the outcome of a transfer-of-training effect to golf swing.

Visiting the Magic Kingdom with Small Children

2008-02-10T16:34:00.000-08:00

When traveling to the Magic Kingdom with children, it is important to perform advanced planning before arriving in florida. Preparing for this trip will make the difference in a stressful family vacation and a fabulous, magical vacation that your family will always remember.

The Magic Kingdom park at walt Disney World in florida is one of the worlds most popular vacation destinations. Millions of visitors tour the Magic Kingdom park each year and although it is the smallest of all four disney florida parks, it is also the most crowded. It is not uncommon to see families touring the parks in the hot florida sun, with parents yelling at their children and the children crying or screaming for something. This tends to happen as families spend a lot of money on this type of vacation and want to be sure to get their moneys worth. This leads them to drag their families throughout the park, with over-tired, hot and hungry children.

It is important to remember that children function best when in their normal daily routine. Their days at walt Disney World will be filled with early mornings, off schedule (or skipped) naps, changes in eating times, and late nights. Also the weather in Orlando can be extremely hot and humid or very rainy, depending on when you visit. It is crucial that parents understand that children will be on sensory overload and will be out of their routines when on vacation.

You can visit the Magic Kingdom with children and still have a fabulous time. If you are only able to visit for one day, you should arrive at the parks before its scheduled opening time. As the park opens you should visit Fantasyland (if traveling with small children) or Frontierland (for older children). A one day touring schedule is possible, however, if traveling with children you will have to be willing to limit your list of must-see attractions. With children, it is always better to allot two full days at the Magic Kingdom. This will allow you to tour at a calmer pace and allow your children to take in all that the park has to offer.

Your advanced planning when visiting the Magic Kingdom should include deciding what time of year to visit, what day of the week will be least crowded, and how many days you have to visit the Magic Kingdom. You should also review the park layout and policies before you arrive. Being knowledgeable on the attractions will help you decide which ones you would like to visit before even arriving in Orlando. Reviewing Disney information on stroller rentals, the Fastpass system and parades and shows are just a few examples of things you should strive to learn about before you arrive. This will allow you to maximize your time at the Magic Kingdom and concentrate on your Disney family vacation.

A little planning will help you create your best visit to the Magic Kingdom!

Getting In Shape

2008-02-10T10:58:00.000-08:00

Nothing and nobody will be able to make you lose the weight without a serious modification of your eating habits, and success with that can only be had by also including a strict weight loss exercise program. Of course, while it is hard enough to stick to a diet, it is even harder to take time out every day to exercise. In addition to the foregoing, many gyms have the kind of clientele that is a bit off-putting to somebody trying to get in shape. add to this the sheer boredom that quickly and easily slips into most exercise routines, and it is no surprise that the United states is threatening to become a nation of yo-yo dieters.

If you are trying to lose some weight, you know how hard it is to stick to a healthy diet. You might even be tempted by some of the advertisements that promise you to shed the pounds overnight while you sleep all you have to do is purchase some outrageously expensive supplement that does not have the blessing of the Food and Drug Administration.

Create Your own Weight loss Exercise program D[id you know that your weight loss exercise program does not have to be boring? On the contrary, you will be able to create your own program easily and quickly! You can use any of a number of online sites that will help you to draft your own routine, or you can simply decide what kind of athletic activity is the most fun to you.

Golf Swing Troubleshooting

2008-02-08T15:32:00.000-08:00

Every golfer player knows that in order to lower their scores they need to learn about golf strategy as well as tips on how to help with golf swing. Below we provide you with some golf swing troubleshooting tips which should help to ensure that you get the most out of your swing every time you play.

golf Swing Troubleshooting

When it comes to aiming at a target a golfer can cause themselves to miss aim in a couple of ways. The first is because they place their body in such a position that it is this which is aimed at the target. What you should be doing in order to aim correctly at the target is to have your club sitting at right angles to the target which you align your body parallel left to it. It will take quite a bit of practice on your part in order to get you to align your body and club correctly when you actually play a game of golf on a course. The best place to practice this position is at the driving range where you can pick a target that you wish to aim at. Then you get another one of your clubs a few feet in front of you in line with the target. Then take another club and place this parallel to the first but in line with your toes so that it shows how your body is aligned. Then you just start to need hitting a few balls and after a while you will find that you are easily able to train both your body and eyes to accept the way in which you are aligning your body now.

If you are looking to get more distance and less loft out of your shot you need to spend time evaluating how you actually move through the swing to the stage where you hit the golf ball. If you find that your swing is quite steep it may be advisable to come lower the loft and if you are someone who finds that they have a much shallower steep swing then it may be worth your while actually raising your loft higher. By raising your loft you will be able to provide maximum low spin but it will launch the ball much higher when it is in flight. It is best that your launch angle should sit somewhere between 13 and 14 degrees at all time.

When it comes to using different golf swing troubleshooting tips it is important that you always relate the position of the ball to your upper body. A lot of golfers today will use their feet as a way of judging a balls position and this will in most cases actually give the illusion that it is in the correct position when it isn't.

2008-02-07T19:07:00.000-08:00

Shopping for video game systems this Christmas? You probably know of the popular gaming systems: the nintendo Wii, microsoft Xbox, and Sony Playstation. So which is the right one for you (or your lucky kid)?

The hottest video game system this holiday season is undoubtedly the nintendo Wii. There are many stories surfacing that the Wii is sold out in a lot of stores locally. While it has been available since last year, this game system is experiencing major supply shortages because it is so popular. As the latest major new release, it's the most advanced and some would say there is no competition. At this time, you can still get a Wii online before the holidays. But don't wait as they're in dangerously low supply.

Another high in demand gaming system is the microsoft Xbox. Its versatility and enormous popularity makes it a great choice for a gift for kids, teens, and adults. With some accessories, it even doubles as a dvd player or music/karaoke player! add in the extensive selection of games and online multi-player gaming, and you have yourself a classic and robust game system.

Then there is the Sony Playstation 3. Popular among kids, the ps3 and ps2 have many family friendly games. Recently, Sony has released a more affordable version of its original Playstation 3 in time for the holidays. The bundled Spiderman movie pack offers a solid value as it includes the Spiderman game along with the more affordable version of ps3.

Finally, don't forget to pick up some games and accessories to complement your gifts. Whichever gaming system you choose, your gift recipient (or you) will be thrilled with any of these three video game systems.

Using Railings in Your Garden

2008-02-06T18:30:00.000-08:00

When it comes to relaxing, you cannot get it much better than sitting out in your own garden, watching the world go by. No matter what size garden you have, it is usually seen as a sanctuary a small place in the outside world where you can relax without worrying about who is around you.

One particularly good way in which you can enjoy your garden, even in bad weather, is by installing a porch enclosure. That way, when you need to get away from everything, even when it is bad weather you can sit out in the porch enclosure and relax. The only choice you have to make is which type of porch enclosure is the best one for you?

Adding a Porch Enclosure to Your Garden

There are a few benefits of having a porch enclosure in your home. The first is it makes it easier for you to relax and enjoy your garden and the second is that it can actually improve the value of your home. Everyone loves to have a nice attractive porch, so by choosing the right one to compliment your garden, you could potentially add quite a lot of value to the home.

One thing to consider when you look for the right porch enclosure for you is how weatherproof they actually are. Obviously you need a porch enclosure to be safe and secure through all weathers and whilst you may expect that all porches would be completely weather proof, which unfortunately is not always the case.

So double check with the manufacturer before you purchase a porch to see that it is completely weatherproof, or whether you need to add anything to it in order to make it weatherproof. Usually the only maintenance needed with a porch is if it is wooden, it will need to be treated eventually. All other types of porches are generally maintenance free.

What a Porch Enclosure Brings to the Garden

When you install an enclosed porch, it gives you the opportunity to enjoy your garden even when the weather is not that great. Even in summer, the suns rays can be too strong and you need somewhere to recover and stay cool. So, by adding an enclosed porch you get to enjoy it all year around, whereas with an open porch you do not get to use it as often.

You can also add things to your enclosed porch to make it seem a little more welcoming. You could have a heater in there for the colder months, a fan for summer and also carpets and small pieces of furniture could go well too. Making the porch into another room expands your home and it also gives you a place to entertain your guests.

Overall a porch enclosure is a great way to enjoy your garden. Due to the fact that it also enhances the value of your home, it would make good financial sense to add one too.

Don't Get Flushed by Plumbing Problems

2008-02-06T15:33:00.000-08:00

There are several plumbing problems that the do-it-yourselfer can fix with little effort and a lot less money than calling a plumber. Remember the DIY motto is to only call for professional help when absolutely necessary. Now there is nothing wrong with hiring a professional because we cannot possibly do every project ourselves but there are many projects that we can do.

Some common plumbing problems include problems with the hot water, problems with the toilet, and problems with drainage in the sink of tubs. With hot water sometimes you may find that there is not enough hot water. This is especially true for larger families. A common cause for this may be that the thermostat on the water heater may be set too low. A fix for this is to adjust the water heater thermostat upwards. This will allow less hot water to be used to still get the temperature that everyone wants.

A common toilet problem is when the toilet does not flush completely. This of course is evidenced by remnants remaining in the bowl after the toilet is flushed. The most common cause is that the ball in the tank is not being lifted high enough. The solution is to adjust the lift mechanism so that it lifts the ball higher in the tank.

A common sink drainage problem is the grease clog. In the case of clogs, the best thing to do is to try to prevent them in the first place. A good way to prevent grease clogs is to pour about a half gallon of boiling water down the drain every other day. However if you already have a grease clog, try pouring some hot vinegar down the drain and letting is set for about 20 minutes and then follow it with boiling water after the 20 minute vinegar soak.

Plumbing problems are one of the top reasons that professional help is sought. However, many of the plumbing problems that you will face can be solved as a DIY project. So make sure that you determine that you are not equipped to solve the problem before you call the plumber.

Muscle Coordination For Good Golf Swings

2008-02-02T04:53:00.000-08:00

There are many ways to improving your golf game from going to a golf school, training under a professional instructor, and so on. But in the end true success is only going to come from diligently practicing what you learn. The old saying about practice making for perfection is so true when it comes to golf. Every golfer knows that one of the most frustrating things is for their game to go off. Playing bad golf can be seriously annoying. Even those players that undergo extensive training and years of practice often find themselves wishing that the efforts they have put in had yielded better results. There are very few golfers that are not constantly working with golf swing techniques to find that touch of perfection.

You must always remember that there is a lot more to the game than just golf swing techniques. Your mind set and attitude, especially when you are on the course, will greatly determine the sort of game you play that day. confidence is a paramount requirement in golf along with clear thinking and the ability to handle pressure. You must be positive in your approach and be sure of yourself that you are going to play a good game because that is what you always do. The most important thing to remember when practicing your golf swing techniques is to visualize where you wish the ball to land.

Once you have hit the ball you have to go into the follow through. You should not think that hitting the ball is the end of the stroke. You must continue curving your body towards the left. The best way to practice golf swing techniques is to pick one particular spot on the course; this could be the fairway or the green, and then practice hitting the ball onto that spot. When you swing for the stroke then make sure to use the muscles in your trunk and legs.

Getting into the habit of using good golf swing techniques is one of the most important things for an amateur or starting golfer. It is only by using the right technique will there be the sort of improvement in the game that is so desirable. This is why every golfer is working so hard on perfecting the golf swing. You must know that there are several muscles in your body that must work in perfect coordination to get the swing just right. Right from the hells up to the shoulder, neck, and head the muscles must move in rhythm throughout the swing if your shot is to go as expected.

Muscle coordination is so important that even if you have the swing technique down pat you will not get the stroke right because your muscles are not working as they should.

How To Lose Belly Fat With A 10 Minute Workout

2008-02-02T00:48:00.000-08:00

Are you looking to change the shape of your body or trying to lose belly fat without joining a high priced gym? If so, try this high energized cardiovascular fitness routine that that was developed by Keli Roberts.

With this 10 minute exercise routine you can burn up to 150 calories every single day.

The first two minutes of this fat burning routine is: Jump Rope - Begin by performing two jumps for each turn of the rope. Safety: Use the correct size jump rope and always land softly on the balls of your feet (that is the upper part of the bottom of your foot). Keep thinking I am losing weight.

Minutes two to three: Squat Thrust into a Push Up. The proper technique for this exercise is to stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your arms strait down next to your sides. Slowly squat down with your head forward and bring your hands to the floor just outside of your feet. Your hands should be pointing forward as well. Then in one movement, push your legs back and out behind you (into a pushup position). Perform one strict pushup and then jump back into your squat position and then stand back up. Keep thinking, the fat is vanishing.

Minutes three to four: Jump Rope with only one jump per turn. Keep thinking, The fat is melting away.

Minutes four to five: Back to the Squat Thrust and Push Up only this time you are going to add the Side Plank. After completing your squat thrust and push up, you are going to lift and rotate your left arm off of the ground and over your head. Your left foot will rotate and rest on top of you right foot. And you will rotate your neck so you are looking up at your ceiling. Rotate back to the center and repeat on the other side. When finished, hop back into your squat position, stand up and start again. Keep thinking, no more belly.

Minutes five and six: Jump Rope. Same as minutes three and four. keep thinking, I am losing body fat.

Minutes six and seven: Back to the Squat Thrust and Push Up only this time you are going to add the Leg Lift. This is the same as minutes two and three only this time you will lift the toes of one foot about twelve inches off of the ground only after you have performed your push up. Lower your foot and repeat on the other side. Hop back up to your squat position, stand up, and start again. Keep thinking, goodbye belly.

Minutes seven and eight: Jump Rope. Same as minutes three and four. Keep thinking, my belly is getting smaller.

Minutes eight and nine: Back to the Squat Thrust and Push Up only this time you are going to add Mountain Climbers. Repeat everything as in minutes two and three only this time after your push up, you will quickly jog in place from your push up position. Make sure you bring your knees up to your chest on each rotation. Perform 5 jogs and repeat this entire process. Keep thinking, I am going to lose weight.

Minutes nine and ten: Jump Rope. Same as you first two minutes. Keep thinking. If I do this everyday, I will lose belly fat. Good luck to everyone.

We recommend using a soft padding such as a yoga mat when performing this exercise. This will cut down on any injury and save some of those knee joints for you. If you need more information on gym mats and yoga mats, please visit Ultimate Fitness Equipment - for all of your fitness needs.

Country Club Golf Courses - Membership Or Green Fees?

2008-02-01T09:35:00.000-08:00

How much golf do you play? Can you justify the cost of membership against the amount you spend on green fees every time you play a round at your country club golf course?

Lets say you only play once a week and the green fee is $25 for the round. That means your golf is costing you $1300 annually. If the membership is $2K a year, its not making much sense to join on the strength of the golf alone. If you play at least twice a week though then you would be saving money and it would be wise to join the club even if you were only going to use the golf facilities.

country club membership isn't just about golf though and you should check out what else is on offer such as a sauna and spa, gym, pool, tennis courts etc. As a golf player you should find out if there is a members league, how many competitions a week etc. also, if you are taking a family membership, what is the youth program like for the younger members of your family and is there much for your partner to get involved in if golf is not there thing?

There is also the status that comes with being a member of the local country club. many a country club golf house is the hub of the local social calendar. It can be an important place to socialize and drum up business for your company and for your children to learn the correct etiquette. These are all things you will probably consider when deciding whether to become a full member or not.

For true golfers though, these are just added bonuses to being a member of what is hopefully a great golf course. As a golfer, what might be of interest is that many country club golf shops offer discounts to their members. These can range from 10% up to 20% and you could also be offered discount green fees to any none members who accompany you for a round of golf.

If you have only recently moved to an area and are unsure which country club to join, many offer a monthly membership so you can try them out before taking the plunge and taking out an annual subscription.

country clubs sometimes have property for sale set amongst and around the golf course itself. These properties usually come with membership included. One such country club is Collier's Reserve in naples, Florida. Situated along the Cocohatchee river it offers its homeowners the chance to enjoy fishing and boating as well championship golf. Now thats what I call a great life!

This type of country club has been hugely popular for some time now in Europe, particularly spain and Portugal. Thousands of people from England and other northern european countries take early retirement and move there for the sunnier climate and superb country club golf.

Healthy Living Guidelines

2008-02-01T07:24:00.000-08:00

There are many essential physical and psychological factors that will assist in the process of staying or becoming healthy. The most important of these have been listed in this article. It may for many people seem to be a very challenging list. If you are one of these people then I suggest that you make a start. Choose one thing that you can change about the way that you currently live. Make that change and stick to it and then make another change and so forth. If you find the list daunting then choose something relatively easy from the list to do - for example, increase the amount of filtered water that you drink in one day. This is adding something to how you live rather than taking something away. Adding in is easier than taking something away. When it comes to your diet try adding in eating one piece of fruit per day and do this for a week and then add in two pieces of fruit per day. Again you are adding in and not taking anything away. You may also be able to add in something for you mind or physical exercise. You will have made a good start.

Attempting to change many things at the one time is very difficult and will make it difficult to succeed but you can make changes over many months - just keep the goal of improved health in your mind. Improved health is what you are working towards and having this in mind will help to keep you going when times get tough and you feel like giving up.

Eating a good diet and ensuring that you are obtaining your vitamins and minerals is one necessary step to good health. This means eating plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and taking a good vitamin and mineral supplement. If you have not been eating a good diet it is probable that you have a build up of toxins in your body. Toxins are one of the main reasons for ill health and need to be removed. You find out how to safely remove the toxins with Safe Colon Cleansing:Your Good health Guide. Volume 2 also contains hundreds of recipes to help you eat a good diet.
Do not smoke. Tobacco has many harmful effects. If you currently smoke try to give it up. Join Growerz.com for the support and assistance that you need.
Do not drink alcohol as even in small amounts it can have a detrimental effect on the body.
Breath deeply - but in pure and not polluted air. Air Purifiers are able to assist if you live in an environment with poor air quality. They can also assist if you have a problem with allegens such as dust mites and pollens.
Drink plenty of fresh pure water.
Sunshine. Our body needs sunshine to function well and to make vitamin D. We should not get so much that we burn as this damages the skin and can lead to skin cancers. How much you need will depend upon where you live and the nature of your skin - about 10 minutes per day with about 60% skin exposure is a rough guideline.
Good posture and bones. We need to make sure that the structure that holds us together and upright is in good alignment. There are many who consider this to be the foundation of our health and that if our bony structure is right then the nerve and energy impulses that pass to the rest of the body will help to keep it in good order. if you have any difficulties with this you need to see a practitioner such as a chiropractor or osteopath or massage therapist.
Take medical drugs only if essential. Excessive use of medicinal drugs (obtained either on prescription or over the counter at a pharmacists or supermarket), can lead to serious physical ill-health. Avoid taking drugs unless there is a defined medical problem. Many pharmaceutical drugs have an adverse effect on our vitamins and minerals. Seek alternative approaches (such as naturopathy and herbalism) to managing health problems.
Take regular exercise. In order to maintain good physical health is necessary to take regular exercise. This needs to include three elements, aerobic fitness, muscular strength and flexibility. Walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, sporting activities, weights, yoga and so forth are all suitable. Choose the forms of exercise that suit your lifestyle and personal preferences. If you haven't exercised for a while you need to start very gradually. You may also need to check with your health professional if you have had heart problems or surgery.
Take regular mental exercise. The mind affects the body in many ways and mental health is necessary to achieve physical health. Mental activities such as reading, writing, the creative arts, a hobby, learning something new, doing a different project all stimulate the mind. Watching excessive amount of TV, computer games or videos does not allow you to exercise your creativity or mental capacity.
Have and follow a goal in life. It is important that you have a goal or purpose in life that you are interested in and genuinely wish to achieve. This may be via your job or home life or by being a member of a local or national society or some other means. Without an interest in wanting to achieve something, life often becomes dull and meaningless.
Develop and maintain a range of positive, supportive relationships.
Maintain a wide range of interests and activities. Life can be divided into certain areas such as your own personal interests, your family, work and groups or societies that you belong to. Try to have interests and activities that relate to each of these areas.
Manage the levels of stress that are in your life. Learn how to relax and stay calm and have a practical and positive attitude to your abilities and life circumstances.

Remember to enjoy life. Even when you are unwell or under stress there is much enjoyment to be had.

There are many activities that you can do to help you in the process of staying or becoming healthy. The list provided above is a good starting point. Try making a plan for yourself and add in things to your life before you try taking things away. However if you smoke make it a priority to quit. Not smoking is one of the greatest health improvements that you can make. Growerz.com will assist you to become smoke free.

She believes that health is not just absence of disease and seeks to actively promote vitality and wellness through empowering others.

The Most Important Golf Terms

2008-01-31T08:42:00.000-08:00

Possessing complete knowledge about the terms and conditions related to any game makes playing that game easier. Similarly there are some pre-set golf terms for playing this game which are very important to be known when you are going to play the game. The terms and strategies associated with golf are completely different from other games.

One of the important golf terms is that you play by hitting a golf ball with the help of golf clubs on teeing ground. There is a term called putting area in golf where a hole is found and ball comes here traveling along fairways after being hit. Basically the prime target in golf is hitting the ball into hole in as few attempts as you could do. It shows that a golf player need to complete hole in fewer stroke by hitting the ball using golf club from teeing ground into the hole in putting ground. Thus the golf term which is important in it is to hit ball from golf club as little times as you can do in getting it from teeing ground to putting ground. A complete round of golf contains a play of eighteen holes. It means you have to reach golf ball into the hole for eighteen times.

Normally, there are two ways of playing this game in golf terms. In one type of match play, depending upon the holes lost and won, winner of game is declared. In another type of match play, which is known as stroke play, winner is one who completes the whole round with minimum number of strokes.

Apart from it there are some more golf terms related to it, which are as follows-

When the golfer is going to make stroke, then avoid talking close to him/her, because it might harm you.
You should make your full efforts to play when all players in group are already out of way.
Do not delay in playing and try to leave as early as possible along with other members of your group.
Before starting count your golf clubs because you are not allowed to take more than fourteen golf clubs.
Always ensure well that you are teeing off in front of the tee markers. In match play in case, your tee off is a bit of outside the area then you might be asked to repeat it without any penalty. But if you are playing match play then in such case you have to bear two-stroke penalty.
When your ball is lying in a water hazard or banker then you should first complete your downswing then only touch the water or the bunker.
Always strike the ball well instead of resorting to spooning the ball or pushing it.

Thus by following these golf terms you can successfully play golf.

Here's How You Control Your Blood Sugar With a Diabetes Natural Remedy

2008-01-30T22:26:00.000-08:00

Diabetes affects over 170 million people world wide and that figure is expected to double by the year 2030 according to the World Health Organization. Left untreated, it leads to cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, blindness and joint problems. In extreme cases, as you lose circulation to the peripheral tissues, amputations may become necessary. You can do something about this with a diabetes natural remedy involving changes to your diet, losing weight and supplementation all of these together will allow you to control your diabetes and lead a normal life.

Type 2 Adult Diabetes

Type 2 Adult Diabetes really shouldnt be called Adult diabetes, since the majority of new diagnoses are in children; the blame for this lies fairly and squarely with the modern 'fast food' and soft drink diet. Risk factors for diabetes include:

High intake of sugar, refined and processed flour, caffeine, and soft drinks

Lack of exercise sitting around playing computer games, for example

Symptoms are varied and may include: sudden weight gain or extreme weight loss, fatigue, frequent urination and chronic thirst these are warning signs (amongst others) which should be checked out.

A positive test showing sugar in the urine and blood is another test. The blood of a diabetic becomes thicker and stickier and the person can be more prone to blood clots which leads to stroke or heart disease.

In Type 2 diabetes, youre actually producing plenty of insulin - in fact maybe too much because of the high sugar intake. The job of insulin is to carry sugar to the cells where its used to make energy.

In a diabetic, two things can happen: 1) The cells become resistant to insulin in this case the cell membrane which is made up of goods fats and protein doesnt function correctly and 2) The insulin becomes less effective this is caused by excess intake of sugar, alcohol, refined flour etc depleting the minerals (particularly chromium) required to make the insulin work. Caffeine will severely aggravate the condition.

A diabetes natural remedy involves taking control of the disease, which is really nothing more than a nutritional deficiency and lifestyle disease.

To get the disease under control its a matter of losing weight, exercising, having a good diet and using the right supplements.

Steps to take for a Diabetes natural Remedy

Increase your protein intake this repairs the cell membrane.

Reduce your intake of sugar and increase your intake of complex carbohydrates.

Lose weight and exercise reduces your risk of cardiovascular disease

Eat frequently - have 6 meals a day this helps keep your blood sugar more constant.

Completely avoid milk and alcohol.

Drink plenty of fresh, filtered water (8-10 glasses per day) and no pop or soft drinks.

Supplementation is essential use all 90 essential nutrients and additional antioxidants.

Diabetics lose vital minerals and vitamins in their urine and this further complicates the disease. In addition, these same nutrients, when they are replaced will actually reverse the disease and prevent further complications

Note: When using a diabetes natural remedy, it's very important to monitor your blood sugar often more than 4 times a day and monitor the medications with your health care professional. Your goal, and the goal or your health care provider, SHOULD be to reduce the medication you are on and to achieve a normal and healthy life.

You should also discuss any possible side effects of medications you are taking. Unlike many prescribed medications, the diabetes natural remedy approach will not affect your kidneys or your liver

Start Taking Control

recommended Supplements include:

All 90 Essential Nutrients necessary for health including 98% absorbable plant derived liquid minerals, a multi-vitamin/amino acid supplement, and essential fatty acids to help rebuild the cells.

A Chromium/Vandium supplement - will provide a diabetes natural remedy by assisting with natural regulation of blood sugar.

An Antioxidant Supplement containing vitamins A, C, E & Selenium - have been shown to improve both Type I and II diabetes.

Heres a summary of how some of the essential nutrients work:

oChromium and Vanadium these two minerals can actually help the insulin transport sugar to the cells, or even replace its function. Chromium works to make insulin more effective and Vanadium can actually do the job of insulin and transport sugar to the cells. A study by the University of Vancouver in 1985 stated that: Vanadium will replace insulin for adult onset diabetics. See our References section below for this report

oZinc helps blood sugar get into the cells and helps insulin to work better; magnesium also makes the insulin work better and can lower your risk of diabetes complications such as blindness and heart attack; selenium, copper and manganese all have a protective cellular function when blood glucose levels are high and selenium can assist with lowering blood sugar.

oVitamin C and vitamin E help get sugar out of the blood stream and into the cells, keeps the blood vessels healthy and help protect against kidney damage and heart attack. Vitamin E may improve the body's response to insulin. Biotin (a B group vitamin) can lower blood glucose; B6 and B12 along with Folic acid also may help prevent diabetic complications.

oEssential fatty acids supplements help rebuild the cells, and may assist with better weight control and reduce blood sugar levels

oA herbal extract from a climbing plant known as Gymnema sylvestre has been used since the 6th century BC and helps lower blood sugar and repair damage to insulin producing cells in the pancreas

Hypoglycaemia

In any discussion about a natural diabetes remedy, its important to talk about hypoglycaemia as this can lead to diabetes and serious health problems. Its characterized mainly by mood changes such as nervousness, irritability, lack of concentration (typical symptoms of lack of blood sugar).

In a hypoglycemic person, as the blood sugar level begins to drop - they respond to this by taking sugar. In addition the adrenals start producing more adrenalin to raise the blood sugar levels. The blood sugar level gets very high and the body starts to produce excess insulin. This can then lead to a cycle of blood sugar highs and lows.

If untreated or poorly maintained, this can easily lead to Adult Type 2 Diabetes or even worse, the adrenal glands may stop functioning correctly causing major problems.

There may also be medical reasons for this to occur, such as an insulin tumor, or a tumor on the adrenal gland, this would be diagnosed by a doctor.

The diabetes natural remedy described above:- 1) having a diet low in sugar, high in protein; 2) taking supplements including the essential nutrients plus a chromium and vanadium supplement; 3) and eating 6 meals a day will work for people suffering from hypoglycemia.

The additional vitamin C, vitamin E, minerals and essential fatty acids you get from supplementing, will also support the adrenals and cell membranes, and make the bodys control of blood sugar more effective.

Type 1 diabetes or Juvenile onset diabetes

A diabetes natural remedy can be applied also to Type 1 diabetics. In this instance, no insulin is being produced by the pancreas (the Islets of Langerhans). In this case the adrenals and the liver are involved in the control of blood sugar.

Your aim should be to try to use as little insulin as possible to do the job of controlling blood sugar. Adopt the same approach as for Type 2 diabetes, that is:

* Increase your protein intake and have 6 meals a day

* Reduce your intake of sugar and increase your intake of complex carbohydrates

* Supplementing is essential. You need to take in all 90 Essential Nutrients necessary for health including plant derived liquid minerals, a multi-vitamin/amino acid supplement, and essential fatty acids to help rebuild the cells. An additional supplement of chromium and vanadium will provide a diabetes natural remedy.

Heres a Summary of the major points in this article:

Diabetes is a complex nutritional deficiency disease that can be managed by simple changes to lifestyle, diet and through supplementation. A diabetes natural remedy involves:

1.Eliminating sugar, bad fats and caffeine from your diet and increase your intake of protein, fibre, plenty of water and good fats.

2.Eat plenty of green leafy vegetables and small to moderate amounts of fruit

3.Have up to 6 high protein meals per day

4.Exercise and lose weight this will lower your risk of a number of other complications including heart disease

5.Supplement with all 90 essential nutrients including plant derived colloidal minerals, a good multi-vitamin supplement and essential fatty acids.

6.A Chromium/Vanadium Supplement is also needed for a diabetes natural remedy

10 Lazy Ways To Squeeze A Little Exercise Into Busy Days

2008-01-29T17:32:00.000-08:00

There are a lot of us baby-boomers. I think we all recognize that the ease with which we used to discard a few extra kilos, no longer quite works as quickly as it used to in our twenties and thirties.

Many of us also have lifestyles that place greater demands on our time and energy. Some of us are no longer willing to spend the hours at the gym or on the road jogging, like we used to. So here are some ideas for getting movement squeezed into a fast paced schedule. Many of these you may have seen before, however how many have you actually incorporated into your life? Its always good to be reminded.

Have music I your kitchen or wear your iPod then dance as you cook or do the dishes. Same with any housework activity such as hanging up the washing go ahead, wiggle those hips! Measure a walking distance in your back garden. Take 4-minute breaks from computer work or any other sedentary activity e.g. my distance measured is 30 metres. Five times each day I drink a 200ml glass of water and directly follow that with 7x30metre walks. This way I get to walk 7 km per week and drink one litre of water daily.

Get a hands-free phone and headset. When having that hour-long conversation with a close friend or family member, walk around the back garden as you chat. Make it a habit for all lengthy calls.

Always take the stairs and always park the car as far from work, as is feasible. Get off the bus or tram a few stops earlier and walk the rest. Tighten your stomach muscles, or raise and lower yourself on your toes to exercise calf muscles, while waiting in a queue.

We used to walk to school by ourselves, several kilometers sometimes. Many parents now drive their children because they say its a safety issue. Could you not walk your children or ride bikes to school together? It has the combined benefit of family fitness and time to speak with each other at length.

quit making use of the moving sidewalk (travelator) at airports if your work involves a lot of air travel. Use the stairs in large buildings instead of the lifts and elevators, even if only for a few of the floors of that building.

learn a couple of simple, yet highly effective, yoga, Pilates or stretching moves and before leaving your bedroom each morning, use a few of those moves as a 5-10 min. wake up routine. March on the spot while watching television (and you said you dont have time!), or get up during the advert breaks and do a few stretches or laps of the room. Make it a habit whenever an ad begins. Instead of watching your children play in the playground, sitting on a park bench, get up and push their swing or meet them at the bottom of the slide. Kick or throw balls with them. Walk around the track while youre watching your children play soccer or athletic training.

Trade baby-sitting time with your sister or best friend. Get them to mind the children while youre at the gym and vice versa. Is the same opportunity available at work? What could you trade with a colleague to give each other 30 mins. time-out to go for a good walk each day, or few times a week?

Im sure that while reading some of these ideas it may have triggered a few of your own. Any of these activities are better than just giving in and saying that obesity is your lot in life. All the above is a lazy persons guide to exercise. anyone can create a healthy body habit by habit. You do not have to be Tarzan and Jane with the six-pack, at the local gym. movement is movement. Stagnation is stagnation. Choose!

Microsoft's XNA Game Studio - First Impression

2008-01-29T08:00:00.000-08:00

For those of you who dont know, XNA game Studio is a set of tools to help aid independent developers in creating games. Since the XNA Framework uses C# and is based on the .NET Framework, applications made with XNA game Studio can be run on the latest Windows operating systems as well as the xbox 360.

As soon as I installed it, I started messing around with Space War, a sample game that comes with XNA game Studio. I was very excited to see that it supported the xbox 360 controller. Unfortunately, Windows XP only supports wired 360 controllers at this point so I was unable to try it out. I love the fact that xbox 360 functionality is built into the framework. It seems like it would be fairly easy to make a game for the PC or the xbox 360 and transfer it to the other.

After altering all the code in Space War, I started to work on my own game. I managed to get some boxes to move around the screen fairly quickly. A few hours later, I had a simple pong game (Download Here) with some great AI. Although I had never programmed anything in C# before, I felt it took way too long to make a playable version of pong.

While XNA Game Studio lets the user focus mainly on coding the game, it is still too advanced for just anybody to pick up and create something. You will have to have a good understanding of the .NET Framework and be familiar with C# in order to make something decent.

Xbox 360 - 3 Red Light Repair

2008-01-28T08:20:00.000-08:00

Since the release of the Xbox 360 in 2005, this system has been causing Xbox 360 owners severe frustration due to the breakdown of the system. What is the main causes of the three red lights and how can this problem be solved?

The main cause of the Xbox 360 game failure is the console can be over heated by poor ventilation to the system. One reason for overheating is actually where the Xbox 360 is located. Try and keep your game in a cool, well ventilated location and keep the vents in the rear of the console free from dirt or blockage. When the game over heats, this causes the soldering on the mother board to come loose and thus causing the 3 red lights and system failure.

The Nyko intercooler was released as an accessory to help resolve the issue of over heating. This is an accessory for the Xbox 360, which attaches to the system, pumping more air into the console and thus keeping it cool. However, some sources have reported that this inter cooler has caused the system to fail as well, due to the pulling of too much power from the system.

The first way to resolve this issue is to ship your Xbox 360 back to Microsoft and have them repair it. Speaking from experience, Microsoft says it can take 6 to 8 weeks to get your console back, due to the higher than expected volume to repair the game. The good news is that Microsoft has extended the warranty on the game up to 3 years, so the repair is free. However, if you are like me, 6 to 8 weeks is a long time to wait for your system.

I did find an interesting guide on how to fix the problem yourself. The website is http://www.workathometoolchest.com/xbox3603redlightfix.html This website offers a step by step guide on how to do the repair by yourself in a little over an hour.

Chevy Nerf Bars

2008-01-27T14:21:00.000-08:00

Looking to customize your truck? Chevy nerf bars are the way to go. I just bought a 2007 Chevy Silverado and I was looking for a way to keep that ruff rugged look and still keep it stylish, yet original. After a lot of thinking I found that nerf bars were the things I've been looking for.

For those of you, who aren't familiar with nerf bars, don't be embarrassed I used to be one. nerf bars are the stainless steel or chrome bars mounted on the side of a vehicle, to act as a step in or out. nerf bars can also help prevent damage to your vehicles body as well as interior, being the outdoorsy person that I am protecting the body of my vehicle, was an eye catcher. Whenever we go out 4x4ing I'm always worried about scratching my truck with all the big rocks during those tight turns. But my nerf bars saved the body of my Silverado and kept it looking new.

nerf bars are also known as step bars, side tubes and running boards, not to be confused they all do the same job. nerf Bars mount easily in minutes with no drilling of any kind to a minimal amount of drilling. nerf bars are strong, sturdy and easy to maintain. nerf bars can also protect the side of your vehicle from those (inconsiderate people) swinging doors. With nerf bars there is no need to park miles away from other vehicles to avoid unwanted dents and dings.

With nerf bars you're protected. nerf bars can also protect the inside of your vehicle from unwanted dirt and grim. This is basically the one that sold me. I have two young boys who are always stomping in the mud, with my new nerf bars a dirty carpet is the least of my problems. All they have to do is step up on to the nerf bars at ease and gently dust off their feet.

How to Do Window Tinting

2008-01-27T09:20:00.000-08:00

Window Tinting BMPs Best Management Practices and Procedures. Every auto detailer who lives in works south of the Mason Dixon line or in a large metro area has asked themselves; should I offer window tinting to my customers? Every wholesale auto detailer in such states in areas has probably been asked by their customers, namely new car dealerships and small used car dealerships, do you know anybody who does window tinting? That simple question spins around your mind like a thought you can control, hey, maybe I should you window tinting, what can I charge, how do you do it? Is it difficult?

Many auto detailer's and professional car care specialists or even those that call themselves mobile car washers and detailer's have considered such a tact. Some have found that they did not have proper training, that was not as easy as it looked in that they had made a grave mistake. While others seem to have a knack for tinting windows tinting windows is as much an art as a science you have to mistake and a careful I and patience, just the thing for a detailer, well at least a professional one, someone who is into the details. Here are some tips and ideas that may help you decide if you want to go get some professional training, and start offering such services. There are some relatively basic steps that does the profession must follow. It is not easy, but in theory it is simple. first you must prepare the surface of the window, the window must be perfectly clean with not even the finest speck of dust. It saves a lot of time if you have proper tools for window tinting, for instance some hard-cards, a heat gun and some in razor blades.

It is also nice to have a tiny squeegee. You'll see seasoned professionals who also carry around paper towels and dishes soap. You also need to look out for the things like automotive caulking compounds and weather stripping sticking out, these can make for it to install, any need to take care these things upfront. Also, make sure there are no cellular phone or satellite radio antenna components on the inside the window. If there are you're going to the work around us any need to put extra liquid around us area so you can move the tent around to get in the right spot before you start cutting up the shape of the razor blade.

We have often seen old antenna mounts or leftover glue on the windows that we didn't see due to the lighting or shading when we first started, and there you are with a soapy film mass with one hand it is a razor blade to scrape of the other hand, all the while knowing that you don't do everything right, he could easily fold over the window tent and have to start completely over any just by yourself extra material. This is why you should pay extra attention to every square into the surface of the interior of the window before attempting this procedure. Once this is completed while the window film is still dry, you need to cut the film to the basic shape of the window. The easiest way to do this is to lay on the outside of the window and cut into the basic shape in a nylon paper, but leave yourself a little extra room. Then take the nylon paper and slightly moisten the window to the desired amount and lay the paper against the inside of the window and then smooth out the paper working from the center outward in all directions. As you get towards the edges make a few cuts along the edge. Cut the paper to the exact shape and then lay it on top of the film w/liner.

Trace around the outside of the paper on top after you tape down four edges and are sure it is perfectly flat. If you have and areas where you have to go around like the mirrors you have already cut the opening in the paper and will trace that opening on to the film and peel sheet. Once you have the perfect shape you are ready to go and install the tint. Now place this on the window in the right place after you have put some soapy water on the inside of the window, pull back the first 1/3 of the peel sheet and spray the window tint showing with adhesive window solution. It best if you never touch the window film itself during this process. Makes sure the edges are lined up on all sides. Slowly peel and spray adhesive and work any air bubbles out you want to leave about one-eight inch from the top of the window and work downwards. By using the squeegee you need to slowly work downward all the to the bottom and out to the sides, it is okay to let the solution move down with your squeegee, it is better to use a little extra solution than not enough. Once everything is correct use the plastic hard tool too bring down the solution and any soapy water and then pat and buff the moisture left.

To keep the plastic tool from ripping often it is advised to use a paper towel wrapped around it. This is what we have seen most operators do who are seasoned and experienced. One recent problem we have seen in the last few years is those windows with safety glass, which have a dot pattern on the edges. This makes things a little tougher.

You want to use more adhesive on the edges otherwise it will try to peel up. So use more solution as you are working outward and try to work upward on the initial point of contact, some of this extra solution will roll down, but that is okay you need a tight seam at the top. Another issue is to advise your clients of the law in your state if one exists for window tinting.

Many states outlaw black out tinting commonly referred to a Limo tinting, some allow SUVs to have tint like this but not cars, some states SUVs can have it in the back, but not in the front. There are so many laws you need to know what your state says and also and if you live near a border to another state, well? Best to know those laws too. In some stats the operator is responsible, other states the vehicle owner and in some states the installer also. Great more laws, yep. Get use to it you are in an over regulated industry.

Golf Ball Compression

2008-01-24T21:02:00.000-08:00

Why is it so important even for amateurs golfers?

Many golfers who plays around 5-10 games per year do not realize the importance of a golf ball. Some of them think that it will not make any difference on their games and only look at the prices instead of the advantages and disadvantages. The market for golf balls is over $ 560 millions and over 875 millions balls manufactured by the industries. Every company is battling very aggressively to produce the miracle ball that one day will travel from the first to the 18 holes in one shot! I wouldnt be surprise one day that someone will come with an insert micro chip inside that soon after your hit your ball, you will control with your remote and tell her where to go, and how far. Hey, they did it with the pulls carts and some of them end up in the lake

To understand a little bit more on how you should choose a golf ball, lets look at the advantage and disadvantage of theses balls. I will give the bottom line of each ball which will help you making an intelligence choice. First what is the most important thing that you are looking when you play golf? Do you look for distance, back spin, feel, durability or control? Once you have chosen your category, identify how much distance you are making with a driver and if the ball goes straight or not. If you need more distance and ready to sacrifice some control lowest compression will be the best ball for you. Usually theses balls are designed for lady, junior and seniors golfers. However if you are a golfer that has tendency of slicing, use a 90 compression which will help you keeping your shots straight in the fairway. Like I always said, if you are not a professional, control is a priority instead of distance. 90% of the golfers average 200-220 yards meaning a regular speed of 80 miles per hour at the impact of the ball. The key for distance is to take a ball which is about 10 compressions less than you average speed, if you play straight only. Here is a little chart below to give more information on golf balls.

80: Lowest compression is designed for lady, junior, and senior golfers. The softer core allows for a more spring-like effect off the club face, increasing distance while sacrificing some control.

90: The compression of choice for the mass of golfers who has slices.

100: Harder, tighter core that can really only be taken benefit of by advanced golfers with high swing speeds over 100 miles per hour.

Reason why I do not suggest any companies is simply to be fair with the industry as I am not here to promote any balls, but only to give you information that will help you enjoying this sport.

SOFTER OR HARD LIKE A ROCK. I am gonna make a suggestion as this is personal feeling. Some people prefer soft which barely makes a sound and seems floating of the club around the greens. Some others will prefer hard for durability. One thing that everyone agrees on is the number of dimples, which increase better flies. Shallow dimples generate more spin than deeper ones, increase lift, also stay in the air longer and roll less. hope this will help you selecting the best ball for you, according to your actual swing.

Have a nice game Robert

Halo 3 Could Put XBox in Front of the Console Wars

2008-01-24T01:04:00.000-08:00

Everywhere you turn, the news of Xbox 360's halo 3 release is out there. The game is garnering such attention because the franchise has been so successful and this is the latest and greatest. halo 3's release is one of the biggest video game events to date. part of the reason for this is the coverage the game is receiving. You don't have to be a gamer to run across halo 3 everywhere you turn. Many news programs are constantly running stories about this new game.

The original halo game came out with the launch of the original xbox, and it has been a popular gaming franchise ever since. Expert gamers claim that it is the best first person shooter franchise in gaming history. These fans call themselves "halo Nation" which is to halo what "Trekkies" is to Star Trek. halo Nation members camped out for the release of the game, hoping to be the first to get their hands on halo 3.

There was so much attention surrounding this release that stores like EB Games held release day parties at midnight so that customers would not have to wait to receive the game until normal opening hours. With such devoted fans, Microsoft pulled in a cool 170 million dollars on the very first day!

Predictions have Microsoft making about 560 million dollars from halo 3! This is not bad considering they spent only 55 million dollars to design the game. They may even collect some money from those buying the xbox 360 console just to play the game. The timing is perfect with the holiday season right around the corner. Many children and teens will have this on their wish-list for sure!

Still not sure what halo is? The franchise is based on a setting in the future where people must battle against aliens. The weapons are all futuristic and very cool! You play as Master Chief Petty Officer Spartan-117. Master Chief has all the tools he needs to battle the aliens. The game is very "pretty" and well done as Microsoft had top employees developing the game for over 3 years. You can expect the world to be massive and full of interactivity. This definitely isn't a game they threw together just to keep the franchise going. They seem very committed to producing a top of the line game for halo fans.

Microsoft needed this boost, as the nintendo Wii is still the top selling console. We'll have to see what happens with the battle of the consoles this holiday season.

XBox 360 Price Drop Means Bargains For Gamers

2008-01-23T16:50:00.000-08:00

When the second generation xbox, the xbox 360, was released in 2005, it received much recognition and acclaim. The xbox 360 garnered so much attention at it's release, in fact, that supply could not keep up with demand and many gaming enthusiasts were not able to even get the console until the new year.

Many people could not afford the new xbox 360 game console anyway because of its hefty price tag. The reason why the console was so expensive to buy was simply because of its many new features and functionality, the likes of which, had never really been seen before.

It has unique features that make it a "must have" for gamers. For example, the xbox 360 is functionally state of the art, and has a sleek modern design. The console comes in an attractive space-aged appearing external case with a remote control and wireless hand-controllers. This wireless connectivity was unseen in previous gaming consoles. It is still one of the xbox 360's most prolific features.

Fortunately for buyers of the previous xbox model, the xbox 360 has backwards compatibility, which means that a number of the games purchased for the original xbox will work with the new xbox 360.

The xbox 360 also comes with built in networking which enables the user to connect to the internet and download games, as well as playing games live online with other xbox 360 owners. It has a built-in hard drive which can store around 80 Gigabytes of data (or more if a larger hard drive is purchased), which means users can store quite a lot of games and saved game data without having to buy extra memory cards like other game consoles.

The online feature also enables the gamer to download updates to games so that they are always able to play games with the latest features included.

Other features include interchangeable faceplates with various colors and designs, the capability to play streaming digital music from an MP3 player connected to it, and you also can use it as a dvd player.

For parents, there is also one other appealing item available as an add-on for the xbox 360 which is a set of headphones which plugs directly into the wireless hand-control of the xbox 360, so that not only are there no more cords running across the floor to trip over, but the kids (or adults) can play xbox 360 silently using the headphones. Two of the most annoying problems for parents have been taken care of which makes the xbox 360 a winner on that basis alone.

A recent xbox 360 price drop has made this console even more appealing and finally gives the people who missed out on buying at the release price, to get in on it and find out why this is the best games console released to date. This means you can find discount Xbox 360 games as well, which will give the kids (or yourself) hours of pleasure.
