Miniature Golf Fun For The Entire Family

Looking for something new to try with your family and friends? If you want to do something that everyone will enjoy, while getting a little exercise, why not give miniature golf a try. It’s a great way to spend time with your family, and reconnect with the people you care about. Miniature golf offers fun and good natured competitiveness. Many courses are a definite challenge, but will give you a sense of accomplishment when you finally get through them.

Not all miniature golf courses are created equally. Each is unique and requires a different method for success. But one thing that remains consistent about them all; they bring fun and entertainment to the player. Some courses are more easily beaten than others, but those that are more difficult will give you a greater sense of achievement once you’ve successfully navigated them. You may have to play a few courses to find the one that’s right for you, or do a little investigation to find your perfect game.

The internet is an invaluable resource for finding information about everything and anything. Miniature golf is no exception! You can browse the internet to find the right miniature golf course for your needs. Finding a site that compares local miniature golf courses and their skill levels is simple; just direct your browser to your favorite search engine.

It’s best to do a little research before you take young children miniature golfing. So that everyone enjoys themselves, it’s important to make sure the course of your choice is not too difficult or too easy for your miniature golfing party.

You can be sure you’ve found a good place to play miniature golf if they have something for every skill level. Typically, the first shot will be much easier than the last, and everyone in between will get progressively more difficult. The reason for this is so that everyone gets the opportunity to find their miniature golfing groove. It’s like a warm up. You should take your time with each shot and inevitably you will get better as you work your way through the course.

Miniature golf is amusing fun for the entire family, not just to play, but to watch others play as well. The best courses offer interesting looking shots and merry accompaniments. Some will look much like fairs and carnivals, with oversized moving parts, little ponds and lights that twinkle at night. No miniature golf course would be complete with a windmill. These kinds of decorations will make the course stand out and provide fun and lively entertainment and conversation.

Forget Everything You’ve Been Taught About Autosurfing and STOP Flushing Your Money Down The Toilet!

I would love to slap you. Maybe you deserve it, but certainly you need it. I need to pour iced water over your head, flog you with a sausage and yell as loud as I can in your ears …

“FORGET EVERY BIT OF ADVICE THE OLD INDUSTRY GURUS TOLD YOU, THE OLD ADVICE ABOUT AUTOSURFS DOES NOT WORK!”

Yes, you might be a little surprised. Yes you’ve probably not been flogged with a sausage before, and you’ll probably be a bit confused as to why I’ve got an entire website dedicated to an industry I don’t hold much faith in.I really believe that right now (October 10th 2006) the entire ‘industry’ exists because of one company alone and I’d like to use this opportunity to explain why you might have lost money on investment after investment this year.

I’m pretty much out on a limb here. Nobody else seems to share my pessimism, but then look around … where are the autosurf commentators and advisors of last year? Have you received any email updates from these people telling you how much money they’ve lost and how they are trying to recover it? Are they still providing advice and strategies? They aren’t because when the autosurf industry is strong, its actually hard to lose money. Whether you tell people to diversify, or to invest only in one company, the advice will appear to work. It’s only when the industry is not going strong that people follow the old advice which once seemed to work, and effectively flush their money down the toilet.

I’m dedicating this article to the people who are scratching their head this year. The people who’ve consistently lost money in nearly every surf site of 2006 and wonder what is going on. We can’t blame Stormpay any longer, we can’t blame e-gold or SEC regulations so I’m going to tell you exactly why the odds are so hugely stacked against you this year.

1) Due Diligence DOES NOT work.

Due Diligence was the pompous buzzword of 2005. Every forum post required it to be used to assert your status as an autosurf elite. It means “do proper research about a company” before you invest.

Due Diligence makes some very dangerous assumptions …

- It assumes that if you know the name and contact details of a webmaster they will never run away.

- It assumes that the webmaster is competent.

- It assumes that it is hard to falsify DD documents.

2) People are Wrongly Petrified of the Word ‘Ponzi’ Because they Associate it with 12DailyPro’s Collapse.

Before 12DailyPro was around last year, people were not really concerned about how an autosurf made money. Suddenly this Ponzi word began infecting everything to do with autosurfing. People began to associate 12DailyPro with Ponzis with losing all their money. The case is MUCH more complex than that. If it were that simple then other autosurfs would have been hauled in front of the SEC too and this has not happened.

People are convincing themselves that autosurfs are trading in forex, investing in offline opportunites are living a dangerous lie. I’ll leave it again until another time to explain exactly how an autosurf makes money but for now don’t let autosurfs blindside you with this kind of rubbish. A company declaring links with forex traders is much more likely to be a scam than one which keeps its operations more private.

3) People Confuse Reputation With Competence.

People seem to be connecting experience in a forum with an ability to run an autosurf.

Haven’t you noticed that all these new autosurfs and HYIPs are being run by people with no experience at all in running sites. Why do you believe they will learn the ropes and excel?

4) Diversification Doesn’t Work if There are no Good Companies Around

There have been times this year where there has not been even one autosurf worth investing in. Often it is worth getting out of the market for a few months until something credible appears again. If we’d have all done that since January, imagine how much we might have saved.

5) People Believe That Low % Autosurf Sites Are More Stable Than High Percentage Sites

I remember last year hearing a respected autosurf commentator explaining that sites offering 1% interest per day for a year should be considered as ‘bankers’. He was explaining that they are much more stable that high % short-term sites. How many 1% for 1 year sites do you see now? How many of them are being advertised or are attracting attention? There’s about three I can think of and not one would get noticed in a forum.

6) People Still Have Blind Faith in AutoSurf Owners

I’d argue that during 2005 nearly every autosurf owner began their website with the best intentions in mind. They genuinely thought that they’d be able to pay members and keep the site running. I argue that this year the story is different. People have come to realize that when a site closes it is the owner who comes out smiling at the members expense. I believe that some companies (perhaps CompactSurf) set off with a financial target in mind. When they got a certain dollar value in their e-gold account they decided to close. It really is impossible to read the mind of the autosurf webmasters and there is nothing at all you can do about it.

7) People are Still Following Tipsters Like Sheep

Nothing makes me more angry at how irresponsible HYIP and Autosurf commentators have become. Read most of the autosurf blog sites, or read some of the emails that you get from those people and you’ll recognize that there is ALWAYS one company being marketed. As I said, there can be (and there have been) times where not one HYIP or autosurf is credible. Most of the bloggers take the least-bad company and market that. As soon as it has problems they switch their downline into another company, collecting their commissions on the way.

The most common question I’m asked is “Which autosurfs should I invest in?” My standard reply is … invest in the industry leader and nothing else. I’ll define this industry leader later, but I’m keen to keep this article academic and don’t wish to go off-track. Most people are disappointed by my reply.

They were expecting me to whisper a company name in their ear and magically unleash the next way they can make millions. I could pander to demands and reel off the company that pays me the highest referral commission but I very much want my reputation to last longer than a typical autosurf’s lifespan.

To Conclude …

* I hope by now you can appreciate just why you’ve been losing money this year and can see that autosurfing now is very different to how it used to be.

* I do not recommend many companies, simply because it is extremely difficult to predict their motives and their future.

* A wise investor will not search for opportunities which really do not exist.

* I have not yet completed an article about what new strategy you should adopt .. but it is in my to-do list. If you understand the gravity of my arguments here then this update is essential reading.

Save Fuel, Save Money

The prices of gasonline or petrol increase daily, wherever you live in the world. The price of a barrel of oil has quadrupled since the beginning of the millennium. It went from about $20 a barrel to almost $80 in these days.

The Reason to Save Fuel

The resources of fossil energy deplete. Oil has served as the backbone of the modern society. Gas and coal also have plaid an important role, but oil has prevailed. The book “The Final Energy Crisis” forecasts a dramatic development during the next years. They expect that the peak of the oil production will be achieved around the end of this decade and that the production will fall, although the demand will increase further. This means higher energy prices. Another source says that the oil reserves will be exhausted in about 43 years and the reserves of natural gas in about 64 years.

No Easy Going Alternatives at Hand

There is a lot of research going on worldwide in the field of solar power and hydrogen power. They will have to substitute oil, gas, coal and uranium in an intermediate term. Photovoltaic, wind power and power from biomass progress quickly. The process of transformation lasts decades. New solutions need time to step fully into the foot prints of oil.

The Urgent Task to Save Fuel

There is an urgent task to save fuel in order to prolong the use of the remaining fossil energies. Saving fuel is inevitable because the cost for fuel will increase further. There might be days of lower prices, but the general tendency is clear: up, up and up again.

Solutions are demanded in order to make the consumption of fuel affordable. Modern and already proven standards of housing construction show that 60% to 80% of the fuel can be saved.

Solutions for Money Saving Consumption Needed

Saving fuel in the field of traffic and transportation still sticks in the beginning. If the wheels have to turn further, fuel saving becomes highest priority. There are cars coming up with low fuel consumption or even bio-ethanol. Millions of used vehicles still are useful and they are driven for many more years. It makes sense, if there is a solution for used and new cars, trucks, motor-bikes etc. To save fuel also means to save money. Fuel Freedom International propagates such a convenient looking solution. This could be one solution among others, e.g. eco-efficient driving. Everything that helps saving fuel should be tested.

Branding Lessons For Attracting Quality Women Online

Q: What don’t great brands have to do?

A: Sell themselves.

Coke doesn’t have to advertise flavor. It associates itself with happy images. Apple doesn’t have to detail its great functionalities. It can just contrast itself with a clunky PC Bill-Gates stand-in.

It’s exactly the same thing with dating.

In fact, it’s even more important in dating.

If you find yourself selling yourself… you’re selling yourself short.

And turning away women.

Women secretly hate it when you sell yourself. When you list your attributes. They sense weakness in the “song and dance.”

As always, online profiles are a great way to measure what guys are doing offline. So many guys’ profiles read like this…

“Hi, I am a really great guy. A diamond in the rough! One of a kind. I can do a hundred push-ups. I dress really well! I drive a BMW. I am kind and sensitive and manly!”

In person, women may act like they are flattered when men dance for them like this. But what they like is the temporary power such flattery makes them feel.

The kind of power that vanishes the second the interaction is over — because now they are left empty of that experience. All they retain is the uncomfortable feeling that you are submissive and dorky. They liked the feeling for a moment, but selling yourself leaves them feeling no connection at all, no sense of the solid man behind the show.

Go read twenty other guys’ ads. They almost all focus on listing their attributes. Very data-centric. Very puffed-up feathers, wild animal display behavior.

And very, very ineffective. Why?

Because the “choose me! Buy me!” advertising bullets that clutter most guys’ profiles blur one into the next. The effect is not only as if you are a car salesman or a vacuum salesman, but a salesman among a thousand others!

And anyway, is that how you want her to perceive you? As a floor salesman? As a carnie? A sidewalk hawker?

Think for a moment: in our culture, are those powerful, attractive models of manhood?

No. What else is wrong with the “I’m so great – buy me!” pattern of online personals writing? Well, from a semiotic point of view, many things:

*Facts are boring to women, they want feeling.

*Facts are bare, they are not contextualized into a story of who you are. Stories and fantasy visions are compelling and exciting!

*Facts are a writing no-no – they are stated, or said, not shown – and as any writer will tell you, the only power is in showing, not telling. You must show or demonstrate your attributes by what you write and how you write. It must be indirect, or a result of who you are. You must not blabber about how great you are.

*Your facts are unsubstantiated. There’s no back up. No testimonials.

Why should she believe you? Think about this…

Can you imagine an infomercial where someone like Tony Robbins gets up for 30 minutes and just says how freakin’ fantastic he is?! How annoying and non-convincing would that be? Now throw in Nelson Mandela and movie producers and CEOs of Fortune 500 Companies interspersed in this commercial – and now you have powerful selling. Because Tony, in the mind of the viewer, isn’t selling himself.

Instead, become “The Desirable Brand.”

Or, as genius internet marketer, Alex Mandossian, says,

“Educate Overtly; Sell Covertly.”

“What is your target market?”

Any marketing expert knows two things:

1. Only a fool creates a product and casts around for a market.

2. The truly brilliant marketers find the market need first – and then fulfill that need.

How do you apply this to dating? The easiest way in the world is with online dating, where women actually tell you exactly what they want in a man!

All you have to do is read their profiles very, very closely. Read between the lines, identify what they desire in a man. Are they asking for humor? Quiet authority? Love of dogs or animals?

Find the women who you want to meet and write your profile according to what they desire. Throw in how much you like dogs – don’t SAY it – write about a time you were with your dog and were happy – by a lake, on a trail.

Or if she says she loves a tv show, Scrubs, for example, show some insight into the show when you email her – recall an anecdote or great line that means something to you and let her know why.

You don’t say “Hi! I like dogs, aren’t I great!” Or, “Hey! I love Scrubs too, don’t we have so much in common!”

The key to being a successful, non-self advertising brand:

Express yourself, don’t advertise yourself.

And let her come to you, the attractive brand.

Do Alternative Therapies Work For Pets?

Natural and holistic therapies are not new but even their use in humans has only recently gained popularity in the UK. More and more people are shunning traditional medicine not only for themselves but for their pets. According to Direct Line Insurance over 750 000 of the UK’s dog owners use alternative or complimentary treatments – with 30% doing so on recommendation from their vet.

So, why have some of the oldest and most natural treatments only recently seen a revival and do they actually work?

Part of the answer is they never went away. Holistic treatments such as acupuncture and herbs are still the mainstream in many eastern countries such as China, inclusive of their pet population. It seems to be a predominantly Western attitude to have adopted traditional medicines as we know them. Some orthodox medics frowned on them as ‘quack’ methods, a seemingly odd approach as many of the pharmaceutical drugs available today are derived from plants – the basis for herbalism. However, they have stood the test of time and been documented throughout history, one of the oldest books of acupuncture in animals, is ‘bo le zhen jing’ (Boles Canon of Veterinary Acupuncture) an equine acupuncture book believed to have been written between 659B.C and 621B.C.), so is it likely they would still be mainstream in other cultures if they didn’t work?

The main objection to natural therapies by most opposing doctors and vets, are that they are untested, unproven and unregulated. That may have been true once but now as more veterinarians are aware of the impact of modern life on pets and the need to treat the ‘whole’ not just the symptom, alternative therapies are being more widely used by those best able to judge their worth.

The limitations of orthodox medicine particularly with long standing conditions has caused some vets to look for alternatives and as a result it seems many are being more readily adopted as essential first point of calls rather than as solely ‘complimentary’. – “Within months of qualifying in 1992, while still in Beeford, I was beginning to question the wisdom of conventional medicine. I could not help thinking, “Is that all there is to treat animals?” says Nick Thompson, a qualified vet from Bath, who uses herbs, acupuncture and homeopathy in both small and large animals.

Acupuncture – is already recognised by the American Veterinary Medical Association as suitable for the ‘treatment of numerous conditions in animals’ It also says ‘Veterinary Acupuncture and acutherapy are now considered an integral part of veterinary medicine’ (1)

It’s very effective in managing pain and research in 1989 reported that out of 191 dogs with disc disease in their spines that out of those treated with acupuncture

* 85 dogs with only back pain – 94% recovered
* 37 dogs with back pain, lack of ‘hind leg co-ordination and use’ – 89% recovered
* 59 dogs with paralysis, unable to stand or walk or bear weight, but pain response present – 79% recovered
* 10 dogs with paralysis, unable to stand or walk or bear weight, and pain sensitivity absent – 20% recovered (2)

Homeopathy – is based on the concept ‘like cures like’. Hippocrates is credited to be the first to use it in 400B.C.when he noted that herbs given in a low dose tended to cure symptoms that they created when given in a large dose. (Not unsimilar to modern day vaccination principles). There is very little research so far, but of the trials completed there is positive evidence for its use in kennel cough in dogs, Cushing’s Disease in dogs and horses and in conditions found in other animals. A more dramatic use featured in the case of a Collie with ivermectin (a wormer) poisoning – his prognosis was poor – but the ‘like cures like’ principle was used and the vet gave a homeopathic dilution of the poison. The dog’s condition improved rapidly and the dog recovered within a week. (3)

Herbs – have probably seen the greatest acceptance into conventional care. Their potency has been acknowledged by the National Office of Animal Health issuing license under its Controls of Animal Medicines to the Dorwest Herbs range. Before an animal medicine can be sold in the UK it must be approved by the Veterinary Medicines Directorate who must be satisfied that ‘the product is safe, it works, and that it is of good quality’. The range of conditions treated is varied and includes epilepsy – given in conjunction with orthodox drugs, veterinary surgeons have found that it is possible to reduce the quantity of epileptic drugs required and thereby the side-effects often experienced.

In light of some of the startling results being seen in the veterinary profession, the objections that just because alternative medicines were seen as ‘natural’ did not mean they were safe, seems to have some ground.. Some herbs such as garlic, valerian and ginseng can cause problems such as bleeding and low blood sugars when a patient is given a general anaesthetic (4). With the potential to have undesirable effects, their adoption into mainstream veterinary care can only be seen as a positive move, even by their opponents. As research slowly catches up, whether it is undertaken by those who wish to disprove it as bunkum or those who want confirmation of its abilities the outcome can only be of help to our pets.

Dog Agility Equipment – Free Play Or Competition?

There are five factors to consider before you and your dog decide which agility direction you want to focus on. First, there is fun with your dog at home . Second, there is competiton where many people have that “gotta win” inside their bodies (and I’m one of them!). Third, you will need to find out if you and your dog just want to have some fun and exercise at a club for a social and competitive outing. Fourth, there are pros and cons with running through the dog agility equipment for fun or competition. And lastly, make a decision and stick with it.

I’ve had people come to me and say their dog can jump high, is full of energy, has a hunger to run and jump, etc. But that does not mean all dog trainers and their dogs will want to compete in the agility sport ring. You might get the impression your dog just wants to have some fun, so make an effort to set up an agility course in your backyard, or get together with a small group. I am not suggesting to set up a whole agility course, we know its costly and takes up a lot of space, and we know most of your backyards will not be able to fit all equipment. Instead, set up a few obstacles such as some jumps and weaves, make up your own course. Or just have your dog do most of the exercise jumping over bars and chasing a ball or frisbee. You might want to get involved in social activities such as dog or breed clubs. There are a lot of clubs just starting agility, or just getting together to have some fun and to socialize, a healthy atmosphere to gather around dogs. Even clubs that have a competitive group also welcome newcomers to join a beginners class.

To train and prepare your dog for competition takes time, patience, and more patience. Converting from the fun atmosphere in your backyard or club to the competition level changes your spontaneous free play to planned training sessions and goals of putting in more training time.

Training for competition requires lots of teamwork. You and your dog need to know each other well, trust each other, and find your weaknesses and strengths in both of you. To be successful in competition, your dog must have a “clean run”, meaning no bars knocked down, making the contacts, running on course, and making the time. Gee, that’s a huge challenge to do all that in one run. This does require training specific behaviors for each obstacle. You need to ask yourself “are we willing and capable of working hard?” If that’s what you want and your dog is able, then get start with simple training methods, do one thing at a time, until both of you can move on to the next harder method of training. Competition on Animal Planets channel on TV as well as games such as Great Outdoors on ESPN looks so easy for the handlers and their dog running the agility course. Don’t forget the fact that it took most of them 3-5 years to reach that level, or more.

If you can’t decide which direction to go, free play or competition, let your dog do the speaking. Play with your dog, throw a frisbee, ball, play tug o war, take up obedience training, give yourself some time, maybe 2-4 months. That will give you a better idea what your dog enjoys. Making a decision on either free play or competition, there is no right or wrong answer. Every dog owner and their dog will make an agreement or pact on what kind of activity they choose. However, one needs to observe carefully the talents, limitations, and desire each dog has. For instance, a border collie that loves to run and jump all over the agility equipment, but is asked to do training for obedience, which requires lots of sits, stays, gos, and comes, may find it difficult to be still The bottom line is to find out what makes your dog happy and how you can have a good time with your dog. Do not force your dog to run in the agility ring when it wants to just stay at home, or do not force it to stay at home where it wants to get out and go.

There are some pros and cons with free play vs. competition agility. The good part about free play training is that there is no pressure to perform the best whereas competition requires no mistakes in the ring to be successful. Free play training is also less costly vs. competition. In competition, the equipment must meet the organizations standard requirements. Most competition agility equipment must be made from metal, which is expensive to purchase. Agility clubs have their own facility to train, but it will cost to practice or train at their club. Some clubs will charge a member monthly fee, or pay as you run the course or by time.

Don’t wait until your dog gets too old to even walk anymore. Make a decision which way you want to go. You might want to wait up to 5 years of your dogs life before deciding to continue have free play agility and let you dog be a dog, or get into the competion mode. Remember no matter what kind of dog you have, it takes hours, months, and even years to train for competiion. Unless your dog tells you playing with balls and frisbees is good enough for dog life. You might make the wrong decision, but its never a bad one if you keep them both fun for the dog. And your dog probably don’t give a hoot what you decide!

From Educator To Working At Home – and Making Money!

My name is Ron and I’m 52 years old. I taught high school math and coached basketball for 27 years and enjoyed many successes and personal satisfying moments. I left that part of education 3 years ago and am now the athletic director at our school.

Coaching allowed me to meet many of the most successful coaches in college basketball history and attend their clinics and even work at their summer camps. The “educator” in me has always wanted to know what makes successful people – successful. I’ve accumulated ideas from hundreds of biographies and autobiographies of successful people in all areas of life. I’ve tried to incorporate those into my teaching and coaching to help prepare young people for life. It didn’t make me a lot of money, but it was very rewarding. Someday I’d like to develop a website for success ideas/stories/inspirations of all the material I’ve collected over the years. But that’s for another time right now.

I spent many years in that career I loved, but unfortunately didn’t profit from huge salaries. I’ve really learned to love exploring on the computer and as I near retirement I was searching for something that was enjoyable and yet something that could be profitable. Searching the web for these kind of ideas is almost incomprehensible! I have sifted through literally hundreds and thousands of ideas and sometimes it makes my head spin.

However, recently I’ve come across an opportunity called “The Ultimate Wealth Package”. It is a program developed by Mark Warren and is definitely different from all those other “head spinners”. Mark is very thorough in his explanation and completely lays out exactly what you need to do in order to be successful. He explains that this is not a “get rich quickly” program, but if you follow his plan you can make some money and enjoy what you’re doing at the same time. I’m not the most computer savvy person in the world – but this is very easy to follow. I am also not the most liberal person – most of my ex-students and athletes would probably say I’m very conservative! However Mark’s program is one that I felt completely comfortable with am looking forward to making part of my life from here on out. If things could work as well as I may hope – it may even allow me to move my retirement up a few years and allow me to enjoy things I’ve only dreamt about.

I don’t know if you’re situation is anything like mine or not, but it really doesn’t matter. I think this is an opportunity that could be good for anyone. I would say proceed carefully (like I did) and compare this to other programs you’ve researched. I really don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

I’ll end with a quick motivational story from a book that is probably my favorite of the hundreds/and even thousands from those I’ve read. If you haven’t read Gary Barnett’s book “HIGH HOPES” – you should do so immediately. He took over an absolute dismal college football program at Northwestern and a few years later had them in the Rose Bowl. He simply said: “What they (the players) didn’t understand was that at 211 degrees, water is just hot. At 212, one more degree of temperature, water turns to steam, which can create enough energy to move a train through a mountain pass. We were simmering at 211.”

I’ve always tried to inspire my students and athletes to work hard for that one little extra degree. Then they can watch the fruits of their labor pay off. This is exactly how I’m going to approach this program. It has inspired me in much the same way.

I wish you well and hope that you will reach for that one last little degree in whatever it is that you want to be good at!
