Caddie Tips For The Beginner

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: caddie, clubs, gol, golf ball, golf clubs, golfer, players — admin @ 8:33 am

Caddying for a golfer is not a lot of work, and could be quite enjoyable, especially if you hook up with a good golfer. Like the old saying goes. Watch and learn. There are 8 main job tasks that a caddie must do. We will try and take a look at them briefly.

Carrying golf clubs

This task could very well be the toughest of the eight, especially if the golf bag is heavy. Knowledge is not a factor hears, but carrying them properly is. Try resting the golf bag on the small of your back, may be the most comfortable position. Adjust the strap of the bag to accomplish this position. When you carry a golfers clubs, you should hold the irons steady with your hand. Try to prevent them from clanging together by placing your wrist at the edge top of the bag and reaching over them with the palm of your hand.

Placing the golf bag down around greens, fairways, and tee boxes, should be done gently. By doing this routinely, will prevent noise of the clubs around golf greens, tee boxes, and other players. Do not drop clubs.

Washing players golf clubs

This is a fairly simple task, but you have to stay on top of it. Keep a wet towel with you at all times. You may want to keep half of it dry, if you want to carry it with you. Make sure the golfers clubs are clean and dry at all times. Do not hand your golfer a dirty club. Keep a tee in your pocket to clean the grooves of the clubface and wipe clean with the towel. Make sure golf clubs are dry and clean before every hole. When the golfer is finished with the club. Clean them right away and place in golf bag gently. If you do not put them back in the bag right away, you may forget them on the ground, and find out later the golfer may need that particular club. When you happen to remember leaving one behind. Mention it to your golfer immediately. He or She will give you instructions on what to do.

Washing players golf ball

Ask the golfer well in advance, if he or she would like their golf ball cleaned. Do not wait until the last minute before their shot. Have other golf balls clean and ready, just in case they decide to change golf balls. Do not pick up your golfers ball, when on the tee box, fairway, bunker, rough, and green to clean it. The ball must be cleaned before the tee shot, and after the ball is marked on the green. The golfer will know the playing rules. Let them give it to you to clean.

Replace golfers divot

Typically you will find divots on fairway shots. That is not always the case. Sometimes they will have to be replaced on tee boxes. Wait for all golfers to finish their shot, if they are behind you. When everyone starts to march out to his or her next shot. Simply run out and pick up the turf and place back in divot hole, and pack down with foot. Replace a couple of divots, if you have time.

Repair ball marks on green

The golfer should do this task. The golfer may ask you to repair the ball mark, if he or she is lining up their putt. Simply prop up the grass around the hole with a tee and pack down with a flat surface, such as a putter or sole of foot.

Tending the flagstick

Wait for the golfer to ask you to either pull the pin, or tend it. Be nearby to keep play up to speed. Stay off of all golfers lines to the hole, and keep the flag from waving in the wind if holding the flagstick for the golfer. Also keep your shadow away from golfers’s line. Make sure the flagstick is pulled when the ball is rolling towards the hole. The golfer may occur a penalty stroke, if they hit the pin when putting. The golfer has the option to leave the flagstick in when off the green. Some golfers like it out. Wait for instructions when another player is off the green. Try to stand still when a golfer is putting. After all golfers are finished putting, replace the flagstick and check for golf clubs left behind.

Club selection advice

This particular task is for the experienced caddie, and or caddie that has been with the same golfer for a while. Try to memorize the distance of your golfers shots and what club he or she used. They may ask you for advice on what club to use on any given hole. You may surprise them with your choice of clubs. Lets hope its a good surprise. If your not sure, do not guess. Just remember. Its only advice. When your not sure of the distance and club selection, encourage them on making the right decision.

Keep sight of golfers ball

When your golfer and other golfers are taking a golf shot, always watch where the ball lands. Always keep a marker, like a bush or particular size tree when it lands. This particular task is very important. Your responsibility is for the golfer you are caddying for. Try to look out for other players as well. This could be the single most important task. No golfer wants to lose a golf ball. When you can always find the golf ball, the golfer will almost always want you to caddie for them again.

Impress With Great Birthday Party Invitations

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: birthday party invitation — admin @ 6:27 am

My philosophy in life is simple: if you are going to do something, then take your time and do it well. This goes for almost everything you do. If you are going to cook a meal for your family, than cook a great meal. If you are going to get in shape, then take your time and make a great fitness plan that meets your needs. In the same way, if you are going to throw a birthday party for a friend or family member, than take your time and make it an extra-special birthday party. Start with sending great birthday party invitations.

Birthday party invitations are important because they are the first piece of a party that anyone sees. People will be much more likely to get excited about your party if they receive a unique and exciting birthday party invitation. A great birthday party invitation sets the stage for the quality of the birthday party. Great invitations usually signify a great party, just as boring invitations give a clue to the level of excitement a party will have. If you’re like me, than you think in themes for a party. Think about the honored guest of the party. Use their likes or dislikes for the theme of your party. Make sure that all of the details of the party fit who the person is. Your birthday party invitations can be the first step of making your theme come alive. No amount of attention to detail is too much when you are planning a party for someone you care about. Let the birthday party invitations reflect the person you are throwing the party for.

Don’t go for normal birthday party invitations. Go out of the ordinary and choose unique and creative birthday party invitations. You and each person who receives them will be glad you did. If you have the time and energy, consider making homemade birthday party invitations. There is nothing as unique as something that is originally made by you.

If you’re looking for ideas, pick up a couple of magazines. See what ideas you can get for color combinations, texts or ways to decorate your birthday party invitations. Starting with other ideas will help you to move quickly to your own. Use other peoples’ creativity to spark your own.

Birthdays are special events. Let everyone know just how special they are by sending great birthday party invitations.

2006 Seattle Mariners Preview

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: Seattle Mariners tickets, ticket — admin @ 10:07 pm

2005 Overview:

The Seattle Mariners provided little for fans to become exited about in 2005. Seattle ended the 2005 season posting the 3rd worse record in the American League finishing up 69-93 which was only a 6 game improvement from the previous year. The Mariners also managed to only score a total of 699 runs all season which ranked 2nd worse in the entire American League behind the Minnesota Twins.

The starting lineup for the 2005 Mariners offered very little in the way of offensive spark. Newly acquired 1st baseman Richie Sexson (.263 39 121) proved to become a fan favorite while Adrian Beltre (.255 19 87) also helped. But beyond Raul Ibanez (.280 20 89) and superstar Japanese import Ichiro Suzuki (.303 15 88 33 steals) there really wasnt much offense to speak of on the club.

The 2005 starting pitching also proved somewhat spotty with only Jamie Moyer (13-7 4.28) and Gil Meche (10-8 5.89) posting winning records for the season. Starters Ryan Franklin (8-15 5.10) and Joel Pineiro (7-11 5.62) failed to impress only winning a combined 15 games between the two of them. The only real bright spot in the rotation beyond Moyer and Meche was rookie Felix Hernandez (4-4 2.67). Hernandez was brought up in August and posted an impressive 2-2 record with a 1.84 ERA, striking out 45 in 44 innings while allowing a 1.66 ERA to left-handed batters in his debut month. Relief pitcher Eddie Guardado (2-3 2.72 36 saves) also posted decent numbers out of the bullpen by doubling his save total from 2004.

Off Season Moves:
Perhaps the biggest move during the 2005 off season for the Mariners was re-signing Jamie Moyer to help keep the starting pitching stable. The Mariners wasted no time by resigning Moyer on December 7th. Jarrod Washburn (8-8 3.20) was also picked up in order to help the starting rotation while the Mariners added some offense as well by signing free agents Matt Lawton (.254 13 53) from Pittsburgh as well as Carl Everett (.251 23 87). Seattle also acquired veteran infielder Fernando Vina (.226 in 29 games with Detroit in 2005).

2006 Analysis:

New pitching coach Rafael Chaves looks to have Hernandez and Moyer provide some much needed stability to a weak starting rotation. Look for Hernandez to develop nicely with some much needed guidance. Everett and Lawton will help the lineup greatly. Both will provide better protection for Sexson, Beltre and Suzuki making the 2006 offense more fun to watch then the 2005 version. Expect Seattle to score more then 699 runs with this lineup. The Mariners still lack much needed depth in their starting rotation. Hernandez should have a strong 2006 season and fans should be hopeful that perhaps a surprise or two can pull the Mariners from the basement. Kevin Appier was signed to a minor league contract in early January and if healthy may be just what the rotation has been looking for. Appier managed to post 14 wins in 2002, so the Mariners are optimistic that he has a chance to rebound.

What Are The Symptoms Of ADD?

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: add, bird fl, chrones, healing, health, illness, Medical — admin @ 4:24 pm

Many people assume a child with ADD will run screaming like a wild banshee through the supermarket, school, or any other inappropriate place they happen to be in; however, that is rarely the case. The term hyperactive and ADD are sometimes used interchangeably, but this is not accurate. The true symptoms of ADD may be less obvious than that of the tantrum-thrower in the mall.

Attention Deficit Disorder.most often makes itself apparent as extreme inattentiveness. While most children go through spells of lack of concentration, with an ADD child, it actually hinders day to day activities. This is displayed by having a short attention span, being easily distracted, and not paying attention to details, all more so than an average child of the same age. You may notice a child with ADD becoming sidetracked with very little noise or activity that other people may not even notice.

Impulsiveness is another symptom of ADD. A child that interrupts constantly, has an inability to wait their turn, or blurts out answers in class may be exhibiting signs of Attention Deficit Disorder. This characteristic shows a lack of process in action – not thinking before acting. For most people, a thought comes to mind, they consider it, and then choose to act or not act on it. However, with ADD, the idea enters a childs mind and is almost instantly enacted, with little consideration to consequences. This comes across as the child not being able to control themselves.

Another possible symptom of ADD is hyperactivity. Although this is not present in all children, it is exhibited in many. A child with ADD and hyperactivity may talk excessively, fidget, have a difficult time sitting still, climb or run excessively, and often displays these behaviors at inappropriate times. Most children are active; however, interference with daily life is a sign of a problem.

The key to diagnosing Attention Deficit Disorder is excessiveness in the above characteristics. Almost all children will exhibit these traits occasionally, but they must actually create a difficulty on a regular basis to point to ADD. They must also be inappropriate for the age of the child. Most younger children will be more inattentive, impulsive, or hyperactive; however, with age, these behaviors are usually controlled. For this reason, a child must be compared to other children of the same age to accurately analyze if their actions are excessive. More in-depth information is provided on the symptoms and signs of ADD in ebook 2 of Attention Deficit Disorder Explained From Child to Adult.

Do You REALLY Believe You’ll Be A Success?

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: succes — admin @ 10:13 am

I was recently invited as a guest on a 4-day cruise boarding a True Luxury Liner. Every room was a suite. I knew via their website we had a bathroom bigger than the one in my home, a sitting room, bedroom, mini-bar and balcony. I knew I needed a break and kept saying I did. It came just before I was due for foot surgery. In my heart I know when we continue to say what we want and believe, it comes to us bigger than what we expect.

I had also wanted to fly home and see my mother who is in an assisted living home. I knew I wouldnt be seeing her for some time due to my foot surgery coming up and really wanted to get home. So I asked. On our return flight we were able to stop to see my mom for a couple of days. The timing was amazing but I believed.

The day after returning home I went into surgery. Before I went in I had a concern that I would lose momentum in my business with a 12-week recovery period. As I looked at what I had accomplished and believed there was a great downtime opportunity to create, I KNEW I wouldnt have any problem. I believed everything would be all right. The second I woke up from my surgery I KNEW I would continue to achieve my goals. Its the first thing I thought about when I opened my eyes. It was like a gift that came in the form of a thought. Through the next 3 weeks my laptop was attached to my hip with ideas just BURSTING. (in-between naps from the painkillers) It was a painful time and an inspiring time.

Heres something else I had in place. I had come across some great products about Belief and Truth. During my first month of recovery time I continued to learn about myself, my business, what was right for me and where I shouldnt go.

I was like a sponge and one day something really hit me. A BIG AHA! BELIEF! Ive had it all along but something was different now. It had a deeper meaning and it played a much bigger role. Not just for me but for all solo-entrepreneurs.

The BIG AHA is coming up soon. The foundation with cornerstones that I work from and I know a lot of us do when we have a business is, Belief, Trust, Passion, Business Process and Marketing. Another big piece is only doing what I LOVE. That would be included in Passion. Feel free to fill in any pieces that are different for your foundation.

Heres the BIG AHA! Belief is the entire foundation. In fact, if I were to create a business model it would look something like this. Picture a triangle. On the left side of the triangle is Business; Right side is Marketing; top is Trust; Within the triangle is Passion; and Belief is the entire foundation.

I KNOW what I have and BELIEF has carried me to where I am now and where I will go. Do you know what you have? You have something magnificent! You have something that no one else has because you are unique and thats what you bring to your business. If you have a dream, go after it. If you have a business, make it a GREAT one. In either case dont deprive others of your gifts. They are in need of you and its up to you (and your support system) to make it happen.

Have the BEST day and keep Believing!

Athletics Are the Right Track to Scholastic Success

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: Athletics Are the Right Track to Scholastic Succes — admin @ 6:07 am

This year, the nation’s largest amateur track series begins its 31st season as young female athletes compete in the Colgate Women’s Games.

More than 11,000 girls and women, from first grade to post-college age, will compete in the weekly events at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, N.Y., for the chance to qualify for the finals at Madison Square Garden in February. Track competitors across the nation can measure their performances against some of the best talent in their age and grade divisions.

Seventeen former Olympians and hundreds of national record-holders have competed in the games, which aim to give girls and women an outlet where they can develop self-esteem and learn sportsmanship.

The Colgate Women’s Games also instill the importance of educational achievement. All participants are required to submit their school attendance records along with an essay on a peer-related topic.

Each week, participants have the opportunity to win numerous ribbons and medals. In addition, finalists are awarded trophies and educational grants-in-aid.

“Thousands of former participants have continued on through college and successful careers,” said meet director Fred Thompson. “They inevitably return to tell us that the games had such a significant impact on their lives.”

The Colgate Women’s Games, which officially open the women’s indoor track season, have become a national proving ground, annually setting the pace for the season. Participants, primarily from the East Coast, travel to New York from as far as Boston and Virginia.

“Our girls are among the most heavily recruited female athletes by colleges and universities across the country,” Thompson said. “Thousands have received college scholarships from their schools and earned financial help with tuition and supplies from their Colgate grants.”

Kosher Food Popular With Health Conscious Of All Faiths

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: family, food, koshe — admin @ 2:14 am

Until recently, it was close to impossible for the kosher or health conscious traveler to keep his religious or healthy meals while in transit. Now developments in the kosher food industry are making this challenge much easier.

The health conscious and dieters are finding Kosher food is better for you and offers a very wide range of items and dishes, and this trend is spreading rapidly.

Keeping kosher means following dietary laws handed down through the centuries among the Jewish faithful. Kosher has its roots in the Old Testament. Kosher laws are generally more strict than U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) standards.

Religious inspectors also rule out sick or injured animals that would be normally be accepted in non-Kosher markets.

In our modern world where most animals are often treated roughly, keeping Kosher means eating a much healthier grade of meat.

Kosher tradition features a major group of foods known as Parve. Parve includes a huge variety of fruits, vegetables, and grains in their natural, unprocessed state. This is exactly what many people who are trying to eat a healthier, low-fat, high-fiber diet are looking for.

These days Kosher food is widely available and often can be ordered pre-packaged via the Internet or mail. This makes a perfect option for anyone who wants to try Kosher, eat Kosher occasionally, or needs a stash of good Kosher meals when traveling.

Options include a wide variety of vegetables and salads along with meat, chicken, and fish dinners. Also available are salt-free meals and veggie dinners for people with special dietary needs. You can chose from menu items with traditional Jewish names to items that might seem to come from your average neighborhood restaurant. The difference is that everything is prepared with very high Kosher standards for ingredients and preparation.

People everywhere are starting to view Kosher certification as a mark of a food’s superior quality, cleanliness, and healthfulness.

Ripped Six Pack Abs

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: ab workou, abs, six pack, six pack abs — admin @ 6:23 pm

Crazy toned and ripped six pack abs. That’s the key to showing an awesome body. If you think that all training is about is making sure your chest is big enough to make your shirt hang out past your stomach then youre missing the boat. Chiseled abs are awesome abs.

How do you get ripped abs?

It’s about diet, cardio and hard ab routines. I’ll give you the low down on how to burn in some washboard abs with this killer ab routine and save the diet ramble for the main book Fat To Fit.

First of all if your not training abs, start. That would be beginner ab routine phase one! Three sets of crunches for 20 reps a set. If that’s not a problem then superset each set of crunches with a set of hip roles, followed by a brief 30 second rest to let the burn fizzle a bit.

For hip roles you lie on the ground pushing down with your hands and raise your pelvis off the floor so the tail bone comes right up and squeeze the abs!

Last step in the beginner ab routine is to add in some bridges or “planks” as some “guru’s” of fitness have coined them. This is basically a pushup position but you don’t rest on your hands, you rest on your forearms and just hold it for 30-60 seconds. Don’t let your lower back sag! Keep a slightly inverted c posture like your trying to pull your hips toward your chin.

So here is the ab routine once you are working all exercises together.

Beginner six pack ab routine phase 1: Crunch x20 Hip roll x20 Bridge for 30-60 seconds Rest and repeat for 3 circuits or just keep rotating through! Alright enough of the easy stuff, we’re here for some serious six pack abs, killer abs.

Onto Ab Routine 2: The ab killer! I love pet names. This ab routine will all be done on the decline bench.

The first ab exercise? Decline hip roll/leg raise. Beauty!

Step 1: Put your head where your feet should be

Step 2: grab the bench or the footholds; whichever is more comfortable (not that it will matter in a few minutes)!

Step 3: Stretch out and do a straight-legged leg raises.

Step 4: once at the top of the leg raise turn it into a hip roll so that you point your feet at the ceiling. Hold for a three count and go back down!

Second six pack ab routine exercise: Incline sit-ups:

Step 1: put your feet in the foot holds (you’ve turned around!)

Step 2: Lower yourself until you’re about a foot short of lying fully back

Step 3: Come back up if youre still with me!

Third ab routine exercise:

Incline Russian twists (even sounds evil doesn’t it?)

Step 1: don’t move out of the sit up position. Just grab a medicine ball or a 10- pound weight.

Step 2: straighten fully your arms right to your front and lower yourself to the bottom position of the incline sit up and hold it.

Step 3: Rotate to the right 90 degrees with your arms straight and then back to the left at 90 degrees. That’s one rep. You don’t come out of the bottom at all! Fun huh?

Here it is ab routine layout:

Leg raise/hip roll x20

Incline sit-ups x20

Russian twists x20 or 40 if you count both sides! No rest between ab exercises, and only 30-60 seconds rest after completing the tri-set.

Third Ab Routine:

And the grand daddy hardest ab routine ever? For mortals anyway? Because I remember something about homer Simpson and a cannon ball, but I think you need to have access to the applesauce bar for that ab routine to work!

Well lets call it the “commando cardio ab annihilation” workout. I have to have a fancy name on it or you wouldn’t be interested! It involves a pre-stretch, a contraction and dynamic stabilization (I just made that up, but you get the idea) exercise. Here are the ab routine exercises.

1. Smith machine, Swiss ball hip rolls

2. Partner resisted Swiss ball crunches

3. Swiss ball rollouts

4. Profuse sweating and clutching of the stomach.

Ab routine exercise 1: Smith machine, Swiss ball hip rolls:

1.Set the bar low in the smith machine, just below the top of the Swiss ball.

2. Sit on the ball and roll out so that you have to reach back and grab the bar as you lie on the ball. You should be about 2-3 feet away, stabilizing your self by holding the bar and flexing everything!

3. Using only your abs, stretch your pelvis down as low as it will go and then do a hip roll. Legs straight is the hardest.

Ab routine exercise 2: Partner resisted Swiss ball crunches.

1. Its a normal Swiss ball ab crunch but your arms are crossed across your chest and your “friend” pushes down on your shoulders to apply resistance. That’s it,..ahem.

Ab routine exercise 3: Swiss ball rollouts.

1. Kneel on a pad with legs crossed ball in front of you not on the pad.

2. Your hands are on the ball so it now looks like your praying.

3. Roll the ball out until your straight as a board with your head between your arms and pull it back in.

4. Profuse sweating and clutching of the stomach. This should come naturally.

In a six pack ab routine all together?

Smith machine/Swiss ball hip rolls x20

Partner resisted Swiss ball crunches x20

Swiss ball rolloutsx20

Rest 30-60 seconds after each tri-set circuit or continue right through if you’re a freak of nature or slightly “touched”. I’ve never gotten 20 on all ab exercises on all three sets in a continuous circuit; let me know if you do!

I’ll have to buckle down!

Can Birth Control Patches Kill You?

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: birth contro — admin @ 12:10 pm

The availability of birth control has become one of the great revolutions of the 20th century, giving women a concrete way to prevent unwanted pregnancies. They are considered critical components of any reasonable attempt at birth control, even if they have possible side effects. Being products that rely on the manipulation and alteration of baseline hormone levels in the female body, birth control pills and patches can cause side effects that are unpleasant. However, there have been a multitude of supposedly anecdotal reports, all of which are known to be unconfirmed, that birth control patches can be lethal.

The Perfect Gift for a Sports Fanatic

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: gift idea, gifts for him, sports, sports fans, sports gift baskets, sports gifts — admin @ 6:10 am

If you know a sports lover than you also know that they absolutely love any gift associated with their favorite team, sport or player. They probably have car flags and bumper stickers all over the car, desk and family room. It may be hard finding something they dont already have. Looking for the perfect can be just as easy as sitting down to watch the game.

Sports Jerseys seem to be very popular and it seems like everyone has one. The only problem is that before the next laundry day, the player has been traded to another team! Yikes! A better gift suggestion is buying a retro jersey or college jersey. With retro and college jerseys, you dont have to worry about the player being traded, because the point is to acknowledge the players past. These jerseys tend to be more expensive, especially the authentic ones, but you can find great deals on the off season of the given sport.

Tickets to the game are always appreciated. This is one of those gifts that no matter how many times it has been given, it never gets old. Why? Same tickets, different games! Experiencing the sport up close and personal can be a blast!

For the younger sports fans, hats, hats and more hats seem to be the trend. The catch is, knowing their hat size. Todays hat style is all about fitted caps. Other things to look out for when purchasing a fitted cap are the teams and colors on the hat. Buying a hat to match a jersey they already own, will make you a very cool gift giver. If that is too much work, try getting a gift certificate to a hat store. They are in every mall across America.

Sports Gift Baskets dont seem like a manly gift but youd be surprised at the response they receive. You can get a sports basket to match the team or colors. Sports gift baskets can contain all sports paraphernalia or can have a mixture of sports caps, towels and game time snacks. Either way they are sure to please.

Last but not least, autographed sports memorabilia are perfect for the sports fanatic. With all the auction websites nowadays you are sure to find something great. There is a catch however. Be sure to buy from a reliable source to insure authenticity of autographed items. If it seems too good to be true- it probably is. Great items to get or buy autographed are balls, photos, trading cards or jerseys. It is also a good idea to get is framed, or incased to protect is from damage. If you can, try and get the value of this great collectible.

What makes these gift suggestions so great is that whether the sports fan already has any of these gifts, they wont be disappointed to get another again.

Buying A Used Tanning Bed

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: sun tan, tanning beds, tanning lotio — admin @ 2:16 am

Buying a used tanning bed would be like buying any other product or appliance that has been used before, such as a used car or a used stair lift. One definite advantage is obviously the lesser cost of the used item. But there are pitfalls whenever you chose to purchase a second hand product. For example, when you buy a used stair lift, you may discover that the lift mechanism creates a disturbing and ominous sound. And when you buy a used car, you may find out that there are parts that you need to replace. Thus, when you buy a second hand tanning bed, what would you end up with?

To avoid unprecedented problems, you must buy second hand tanning beds the way you would buy a used car. You must know the model, the year it was manufactured, and the features. Though tanning beds are fairly recent technological products, the older models are considered less safe than the new ones. This is because some of the lamps in older models of tanning beds emit the type A ultraviolet radiation (UV-A). This type of radiation has been known to cause skin cancer and other similar diseases. Thus, the new models have lamps that produce only type B ultraviolet radiation (UV-B). This type of radiation is not entirely safe, but it is not the primary cause of skin cancer.

Check the features of the used tanning bed. Do these still work properly? A malfunctioning feature is not a good sign. You may ask a specific question, such as Can the lamps and acrylic sheets be removed and changed easily? If the owner confesses that hes selling the tanning bed because the bulb is difficult to replace, then start making a graceful exit. That could mean UV ray health risk.

Another thing that you should find out is the reason why the tanning bed is being sold by its owner. If the reason is a timer that has stopped working, or a bulb that does not turn on, move on and consider another tanning bed. If the reason is that the owner is bankrupt or moving to another country, then the tanning bed could be working fine. Now all you need to see is the warranty.

Companies that sell tanning beds offer two kinds of warranty. The first is for a limited amount of time (about a year), but it has greater coverage. The second is a limited warranty, but it is for a lifetime. This means that a tanning bed would always have a warranty, even if it is already used. If the owner tells you that the warranty for the tanning bed has expired, the product is most probably defective.

Some users of tanning beds claim that the price of new tanning beds is not much higher than that of second hand ones. The price depends on the brand and model.

“DNA Diets” : Junk Science?

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: diet, diets, dna, fad, frau, genetic, loss, plan, scam, weight — admin @ 12:07 am

Dieting and weight loss products and programs are such a big budget, big profit business today. We’ve all heard dozens of sales pitches for diet and weight loss products, plans, books, and other items that will supposedly help us miraculously lose that extra weight we’ve gained with the least amount of effort possible.

Each of these programs, books and products also usually tout themselves as being based “unique” and strongly backed science and technology.

These hyped diet aids range anywhere from diet supplements that claim to burn fat and/or blast calories away, help to suppress the appetite, or even help to block carbs and fat from even entering the blood stream and being stored as fat or extra weight. But how do we as consumers really know that any of this will actually work?

One of these so called scientifically based diet fads, which costs a fairly lofty sum of money, called the DNA Diet, has recently been in the news for allegedly preying on customers for astronomical sums of money. The company which sells this idea is currently under government investigation for misleading consumers.

The DNA “kits” the company sells online are for swabbing the inside of your mouth and sending it in for “DNA analysis”, along with an accompanying recommendation for your personally tailored diet.

The cost may be anywhere from $499 to $1,000, and a full year of this diet advice and accompanying diet supplements can cost you upwards of $1,800.

Investigators say there is not even any scientific proof that this method of diet advice and supplementation or anyalysis works, further casting doubt on the companies that offer this service.

This particular company also offers expensive diet supplements which are mostly made of concentrated vitamins, some of which analysts claim may actually cause more harm than good due to their high dosages.

Not only that, analysis done on the supplements showed there was no difference in the formula even when different DNA was sent in, so the idea that the supplements themselves are “custom tailored” genetically is assumed to be false.

The investigators created fourteen fake customers and purchased the DNA analysis kits from four different websites. They filled out the accompnaying questionnaires with varied client information, such as different lifestyles, age brackets, etc,. All questionnaires were paired with the DNA sample of an infant girl and a grown male.

The advice varied greatly, the first sign this was an unreliable or simply fake analysis, and many of the pieces of advice received contained generalities such as smoking leads to heart disease and other already well known facts.

The investigation is ongoing, and there has been no announcement whether the company will be forced to close or change their methods and practices.

This is a perfect example of why a consumer must be vigilant when purchasing or researching any claims of diet products, or any other self improvement products for that matter. You never know when the next phony product might come along.

Shopping for Watch Bands Online

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: Shoppin, watch bands — admin @ 12:35 pm

Shopping for something as simple, yet personal as a watch band online allows one to choose from a much larger array of products, not just the select few carried by your local jeweler or department store. The search for the perfect band to compliment both the face and style of the watch, along with the style of the wearer, is easier now than ever before.

The internet has made so many parts of our lives so much easier. We can do up-to-the-minute research from the comfort of our own home. We can attend universities around the country with the use of a laptop. We can purchase unique items from around the world. Itd be crazy to think that something as simple as a watch band doesnt fall into this category.

There are several factors to selecting such a band. For example, you need to know the size band you will need to fit your watch. A good ecommerce site will show you the way to properly measure this sometimes tricky task, for it needs to be done so in millimeters.

Next is the length of your new band. Average wrists use average lengths, small wrists require short lengths, and large wrists need long length bands. Again, a good site will show the correct way to measure to get the optimum fit, this time in inches.

You mustnt forget about the style of watch band that you are shopping for, as this is the part that reflects your personality. Will it be metal or leather? From alligator to ostrich, as well as practical and sea-worthy, water-resistant styles of leather and diving strap-styles, the decision made for such a personal item is not one that should be taken lightly.

The fourth factor in your shopping endeavor should finish off the style: color. Maybe a practical brown or black to wear everyday, or gold to match the hands and bezel of the watch your grandfather left to you.

Ladies choices range from the conservative to the ultra-trendy, with all of the current colors and styles to meet even the most finicky wearer.

Finally, price is always a factor in shopping, as is reputation. Brand names are, and will always be, more expensive than a not-so-famous name, but a good site will feature price points from the inexpensive to the incredibly pricey. The websites that carries them typically more sought after, carrying with them the best guarantees, refunds and customer service available.

When choosing the right ecommerce site for your watch band purchase, you might want to take into consideration other items and services offered. If you are ever in need of a new bezel insert, or perhaps a gift of a watch box, finding one establishment that you can trust can be worth its weight in a gold watch.

A Closer Look on the Side Effects of Birth Control Products

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: side effects of birth control — admin @ 8:28 pm

Research and studies have been made on the effectiveness and reported risks of using birth control products, with results as varied as the number of the said products being sold today. These products actually deserve that much attention most especially since there is now about 100 million women worldwide who currently use birth control pills. Since its introduction in 1960 as a new method of birth control, these pills have somewhat influenced how society, and women in particular, view the issues of sexual health, reproduction, and population control. Still, the deep level of acceptance of such a method does not belittle the urgent matter of monitoring the safety of these types of medications. The potential health risks posed by some birth control products that underwent very short, inconclusive field testing makes further research a great necessity.
