No wonder it has a booming tourist industry. It wasn’t always like this, as in the early days it had to deal with Indian wars, cattle rustling, gunfights and other leisurely pursuits whereas today instead of dodging bullets you could well be dodging golf balls from its golfing communities.

Yes today it’s a place of great jobs, schools, shops, entertainment, cafes and definitely a superb place to spend your vacation.

The Funny Side Of Deer Hunting

It was Saturday morning as Jake, an avid hunter, woke up ready to go bag the first deer of the season. He walks down to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee, and to his surprise he finds his wife, Alice, sitting there, fully dressed in camouflage.

Jake asks her: "What are you up to?"

Alice smiles: "I'm going hunting with you!"

Jake, though he had many reservations about this, reluctantly decides to take her along. Later they arrive at the hunting site. Jake sets his wife safely up in the tree stand and tells her: "If you see a deer, take careful aim on it and I'll come running back as soon as I hear the shot".

Jake walks away with a smile on his face knowing that Alice couldn't bag an elephant--much less a deer. Not 10 minutes pass when he is startled as he hears an array of gunshots.

Quickly, Jake starts running back. As Jake gets closer to her stand, he hears Alice screaming: "Get away from my deer!" Confused, Jake races faster towards his screaming wife. And again he hears her yell: "Get away from my deer!" followed by another volley of gunfire. Now within sight of where he had left his wife, Jake is surprised to see a cowboy, with his hands high in the air.

The cowboy, obviously distraught, says: "Okay, lady, okay!!!! You can have your deer!!! Just let me get my saddle off it!"

SA Labor Loses Control Of Budget

The spending capacity of the Labor Government never ceases to amaze me. This year the SA State Government had planned to employ some 400 public servents, yet the figure actually blew out to 1500! No wonder the mid year budget review shows cost blowing out by $4 million a day.

Where originally it had a surplus of $91 million the Government now predicts a surplus of oly %9 million dollars. This with all the extra revenue coming from collecting the GST as well. It seems that those in power think they have an unlimited supply of money on tap so they do not worry about over expenditure. It's too bad that they do not run the State in the same manner as executives run a profitable business.

Tickets USA

Yes, it’s just been announced the purchasing of Tickets online has finally been stream lined. Premium Seats USA have devised a system that has kicked the tickets purchasing blues to the kerb. Forget the hassle of having to line up to get your tickets or having to take a telescope just in case you get the worst seats in the house.

Premium Seats USA have solved this long running problem by providing a huge selection of first-class tickets to all concerts, sports and theater events nationwide. Just about anything you can think of, this premium online ticket broker makes it happen; if it's a comedy show you crave or a fabulous show in Vegas , consider the tickets in your hands.

It makes you wonder why it has taken someone so long to devise this simple plan. All those times that I had to line up for tickets only to get stuck somewhere behind a pole would never had happen. Oh well forget the past and look to the future.

Taking Things Literally.

I thought this was a rather good joke.

A couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: “My friend is dead! What can I do?” The operator, in a calm soothing voice says: “Just take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead.” There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says: “OK, now what?"

Labor's Political Gaff

Labor’s family spokeswoman Jenny Macklin announce that under a Labor plan all children care providers would need to run an education program. With usual Labor thoughtlessness she didn’t take into consideration any costing that may be involved. When it was brought to her attention that would raise the cost of child care service thereby excluding those of low and middle income of this essential service she was quick to respond that Labor would not do anything “that puts up the cost of child care.”

She then goes on to say, “I certainly won’t be doing anything that loads that cost onto parents because parents are already paying enough.” Well Ms Macklin who is going to wear the cost? Even if Government subsidises the whole plan, which I doubt, the cost will be thrust on the shoulders of the already over burdened taxpayer. Either that or they will run the country back into the red.

Dental Care Charlie's Way

We all know how important good dental hygiene is and I reckon there is a fair few of us who are a little intimidated by the dentist. That’s why we should consider charles brown dds pc of Hayfield Dental Care. They have been serving the residents of Alexandria and the surrounding areas since 1987, which shows they are not just a fly by night business. All of their dentists have received advanced or specialty training which means they can perform almost any procedure without the need for a referral to another office. This gives you added piece of mind that you can get it all over and done with then and there.

There is absolutely no short supply in experience. Hayfield Dental Care has employed Charles Brown DDS for over ten years. During that time Charles Brown DDS has performed literally thousands of crown, root canal and surgical procedures and has a perfect record at the Virginia Board of Dentistry with a history of zero complaints. He graduated from the Medical College of Virginia and has received numerous awards among them the Academic Achievement Award for being ranked first in his class for the 1996 academic year. In 1997 he received the Quality Care Award and Resident of the Year award from UMMC. He’s listed as one of the regions top dentists by the Washington Area Consumer Council and is a member of the ADA.

Fortunately Hayfield Dental Care’s doors are always open to new patients and emergencies so don’t procrastinate when it comes to your teeth, and certainly don’t suffer in pain give them a call at 703-971-2220.

Blondie's Wild Night In!

Blondie decides to do something wild that she hasn't done before, so she sets out to rent her first X-rated adult video.

She goes to the video store and, after looking around for a while, selects a title that sounds very stimulating.

She drives home, lights some candles, slips into something comfortable, and puts the tape in the VCR. To her disappointment, there's nothing but static on the screen, so she calls the video store to complain.

Blondie said, "I just rented an adult movie from you and there's nothing on the tape but static."

The store clerk replied, "Sorry about that. We've had problems with some of those tapes. Which title did you rent?"

Blondie answers, "It's called 'Head Cleaner'."

Top Gun Results

Last Tuesday I ran a competition on BlogSire's Games Palace. I named it Top Gun and the winner would be the one with the highest score on Asteroids 2, and would win $5. The whole purpose of the exercise was to try and drum up more business as you had to be a member for the site to record the score I had hoped more people would join. Well the competition runs out tomorrow and I would say it's pretty safe to say it was a failure.

Perhaps it would be better to offer a larger prize, but heck that would be like paying them to join. It was an interesting exercise. I think I will try it again after Christmas, and maybe even advertise it on more sites.

Make Wedding Favors Part Of Your Wedding Plan

For those who are already married, although you have fine memories of the wedding many will remember what a hassle it was preparing for it. I would like to offer some hints for those planning this memorable moment so that all your memories will be happy ones.
Probably the most stressfull part of the wedding is the financial aspect. The average cost for a 150-person wedding is about $25,000 the major portion of this being (up to 50%) the reception. Traditionally the brides family would pay for the majority of the wedding, but today more and more of the groom’s families will pick up some of the tab.
It would be a good idea to talk to your families to see what part of the tab they are willing to pick up. You can bet your bottom dollar that most mom’s will insist on paying for the brides dress, it wouldn’t be too hard for the brides exitement to spill over to her parents. The groom may like to win the father over to help pay for the cars and it shouldn’t be too hard to get the parents to decide on a 50/50 split on the reception.
Choosing wedding favors is always difficult but I have found that wedding cameras are a great choice. Not only would they make a good impression, but as many guests forget to bring their own cameras imagine how delighted they would be to not only receive this but to be able to record this memorable occasion. I have found the knot to be a great place to get wedding cameras and other favors and also a one stop shop for all your wedding needs. They can help you with your budgeting stratagies, your checklist, even help you with your own web page so that your guests can get to know more about both of you, when and how you met etc, as well as supply details of the wedding itself.
A longer engagement will not only give you more time to plan the wedding, it will also give you time to save for those luxuries that go over and above what parents are willing to pay, especially the honeymoon. It would be good to put aside a portion of your pay every week as well as watching your spending. Instead of going out for meals you may like to eat in more often. There is absolutely nothing wrong with romantic meals at home.

For those planning the wedding I wish you all the best for the day and for the rest of your lives.

Blogging For Money Using the Right Tools

Aussie Sire's Blog
Webmasters and bloggers alike are always looking for ways to make money on their site. We all know it can be a real pain searching for different affiliates or sites to promote, but what if you were able to join one site that allowed you to promote hundreds of companies?

Interesting? There is such a company and its called checkmystats. They supply you with everything you need and once a member you can recruite other affiliates.

A lot of people don't want too many banners on their sites because it clutters it up so checkmystats have rotating banners so that every time a page is refreshed it shows a new banner. You can have static banners if you like. For bloggers this means every time someone reads your post they see a new banner. [i]I recommend putting banners at the end of your post so as not to clutter up your blog.[/i]

You either earn money from signups, or from clicks. For example if you wanted to advertise this dating service you would get 18c per click. There are absolutely too many companies that they support for me to include them here, but believe me its too good an opportunity to pass up, especially because its free.

Little Johnny In Trouble Again.

Teacher: "Children, tomorrow I would like you to give me an example of a development that is currently being built near your home and what are the advantages of this new development".

At the end of the class, the teacher asks that all the little girls remain behind for 5 minutes.

Teacher: "Young ladies, I have received numerous complaints from your parents concerning Little Johnny's' crude remarks. It is very likely that tomorrow he is going to say something dirty and that is why I am asking you all, to avoid any further problems that if he says anything that appears rude, I would like you all to get up and leave the classroom."

Everybody agreed to this plan.

Next day

Teacher: "Is everybody ready with their assignment? Go ahead Anita."

Anita: "Near my home, a supermarket is being built. Now my mommy doesn't have to walk so far to get bread and milk."

Teacher: "Very good Anita! Yes Suzie!"

Suzie: "Near my home, they are building a furniture factory. My daddy is a carpenter and this permits him to work near home."

Teacher: "Excellent, thank-you Suzie!"

At this point, little Johnny's hand shoots up and the Teacher asks: "Oh heavens, Johnny tell me what new development is being built near your home."

Little Johnny: "Near my home, they are building a brothel."

As planned, all the young ladies get up and proceed to leave.

Little Johnny says, "Hey relax... sluts, it hasn't opened yet!"

How To Get A Cool Email Signature?

Have you ever wondered how they got those cute little links on the end of the emails or even the banners? Have you tried so many times to implement your own but with no success? Well I will show you how to implement this nifty little feature on Microsoft Outlook Express.

The first thing you need to do is to open Microsoft Word compose your links.

[a href="http://www.theelusivepotofgold.com">The Elusive Pot of Gold[/a>
[a href="http://www.theelusivepotofgold.com/postnuke/html/index.php">The Games Palace[/a>
[a href="http://www.theelusivepotofgold.com/phpBB2/index.php">
[IMG src="http://www.theelusivepotofgold.com/postnuke/mysig/pogoldforum.gif" [/a>

Anything in bold is your actual link. Anything in italics is the title you want to show. The last one that says src="http://www.theelusivepotofgold.com/postnuke/mysig/pogoldforum.gif", instead of a title will display a banner of your choosing. You must of course make sure you have uploaded the banner to your server.

This is your signature, and can now be saved on your hard drive. You must save it as a html file but before you do replace all [ with the less than sign which is shift comma on your key board. Now to configure Outlook Express.

1: Open Outlook Express.
2: Click on Tools, scroll down and click on Options.
3: Click on the Signatures tab.
4: Go down to Edit Signature and select the File option

A Bit Of Aussie Humour

Ok guys don't get offended! After all, it's just a joke.

I thought I would give you a taste of some good Aussie Humor. At least I found it funny.

Bruce is driving over Sydney Harbour Bridge one day in his ute when he sees his girlfriend Sheila just about to throw herself off the bridge into the water far below.
Bruce slams on the brakes & shouts "G'day Sheila! What the hell do you think you're doing?"
Sheila turns around with a tear in her eye and says "G'day Bruce - You got me pregnant & so now I'm gonna kill myself."
Bruce gets a lump in his throat when he hears this and says "Sheila, not only are you a great root, but you're a real sport."

See I Told Ya Blogging Does Pay!

Blogsvertise have set me another task which I have completed, and you can see it here. Both finished tasks were accepted within 24 hours. Again they have promised to pay me TEN DOLLARS, payment due within a month. I would now assume this is the standard fee.

I recommend that this would be a good company to join. It seems that we can make money from doing something we love.

So far Blogitive is my best task supplier, then Boggingads and now Blogsvertise. The beauty of being a member of all three is that when one doesn't have a task, the other does, so I am kept busy.

The last task. Of course its always good to have another blog to enter so why not join us at BlogFeast You will be surprised to see some of your friends already there.

Are You Tornado Proof?

What with global warming the weather patterns are changing dramatically, sometimes with disastrous effects. One wonders, especially those in areas prone to tornadoes and such how safe their family would be in case a storm was to suddenly hit there home. Sometimes you just haven’t enough time to seek proper shelter, so what are you supposed to do.

There is a company in America know as FamilySafe, one of the best above ground storm shelter construction company that you will find anywhere. Using steel as the primary agent for saferooms, tornado shelters and severe weather protection they have been building these shelters and serving the entire United States for many years.

They are proud of the advancements their engineers make every year with the aid of the HILTI anchorage company and Texas Tech research…all while maintaining a competitive cost. You should visit their site at FamilySafeShelterms.com to get more information about what makes the FamilySAFE storm, tornado and saferoom shelter the best of its kind.

WebMasters Be Wary Of Auto Surf Programs

I assume that a lot of webmasters probably are members of auto surf sites and where I agree that many of these can generate a substantial amount of traffic, though I prefer manual surf to auto surf as I beleive most autosurfers don't even sit in front of their screen, how many of you realize that they can cost you your Google Adsense Account. Do you really want to take that chance because once you lose that account its almost impossible to get it back.

This is extremely important. I received the following email from Google after trying auto surf for less than a week.

Quote:
Hello,

It has come to our attention that invalid clicks or impressions have been generated on the Google ads on your site(s) through users of third-party programs paid or provided with other incentives to visit your site. Such programs may include, but are t limited to auto-surf, pay-to-surf, pay-to-read, or pay-to-click sites.

As a reminder, any method of generating invalid clicks or impressions is strictly prohibited by our Terms & Conditions and program policies:


If we continue to detect invalid clicks or impressions from these services on your ads, we may disable your account to protect our advertisers.

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team


I took their advice and deleted all such accounts. That was a sheer panic reflex action. I have rejoined some auto surf sites, my favourite being Traffic Rodeo, but now I use these sites to direct traffic to my affiliate links such as my Web Template Design page which actually makes me more money than Google Adsense.

I would be interested to know if any-one else has received such mail from Google.

Why The Hell Do We Blog?

Have you ever wondered why we blog? For a lot of people blogging is fun, but that is not the only reason for blogging. One may like to keep an online personal journal that they want to share with the world, sort of like a diary but not one that you keep locked away.

My initial reason for blogging was to get noticed by the search engines as I have several web pages I wanted to promote, mainly:

The Elusive Pot of Gold
Visit BlogSire's Games Palace!
My Web Template Store

As its well known that search engines like changing and regularly updated content blogging can be seen as a great way to fill this need. Make it interesting enough, add a google adsense and it can even earn you money. If you blog has an rss feed you can use this to your advantage for an even quicker uptake by certain major search engines..and so Well Blog Me! was born.
Above all else, my main reason for doing it now is not only because its fun but because I make damn good money out of it. For those interested you should check out my tutorial on how to blog for money.

Yeah, yeah I know it's supposed to be "Diamonds are a woman's best freind" but let's face it guys you can't give em a damn diamond every day now can you.

Legend Of The Green Dragon.

Years ago I was the SySop (System Operator) of Prestige BBS. In those days I had a great online game call Legend Of The Red Dragon (L.O.R.D) by Seth Able Robinson. It was a very popular game and I sorely missed it after the demise (killed by the Internet) of the BBS.

Fotunately I came across Legend of The Green Dragon a remake of the old L.O.R.D. The game play is almost identical and even has some of the popular characters like Violet the buxom barmaid and Seth the bard. Lots of dragon and moster killing for all as well as drinking and general adventuring. A truly great game.

Swords Not Just For Chopping Off Heads!

Swords, what the hell do you do with them these days? I mean in the days of knights and dragons and stuff you could slash, stab and chop peoples heads off. Somehow I can’t see too many people getting away with that sort of thing today. Even so swords can be quite popular amongst a lot of people and there are thousands worl wide who just love to own at least one of them.

KarateDepot.com carry almost 100 different swords and swords sets. Though they focus mainly on samurai swords many other unique swords can be found. Swords are rated from collectible up to practical. Many of the practical blades are hand-forged, the same as they were made in Japan and across Asia for the last thousand years. All the swords are of high quality and represent great value. If you know a sword lover, shop the retailer you can trust. Order by Dec. 13th for $2.95 holiday delivery.

Passing Gas On The Sly!

There was once a very prim and proper older lady who had a problem with passing gas. Since she came from a generation when people didn't even talk about this kind of problem it took a long time for her to seek help. Finally, however, she was persuaded to consult her family doctor.

After she filled out all the proper forms and had waited about 20 minutes in the waiting room the doctor called her into his office, leaned back in his chair, folded his hands into a steeple and asked her how he could help.

"Doctor," she said, "I have a very bad gas problem. Yesterday afternoon I had lunch with the Secretary of State and his wife and had six, um, er, ahhh... silent gas emissions. Last night I had dinner with the governor and his wife and had four silent gas emissions. Then, while sitting in your waiting room I had five silent gas emissions! Doctor, you've got to help me! What can we do?"

"Well," said the doctor raising his voice a little, "I think the first thing we're going to do is give you a hearing test."

BlogSire's $5 Competition

I've decided to run a second competition to try and drum up interest in BlogSire's Game Palace. Unlike the first one I thought I would set it up so that it would run for a week, that way I thought I would get maximum exposure. I've picked Asteroids as the game for this week's competition. It's an old classic and the high scores are quite achievable for those who persevere with it. A tip, use the shift key to hyperspace.

Increasing Your PR Rating.

We all know how important linking is in obtaining a good PR, and that one-way links are the best. It is fairly easy obtaining a reciprocal link (where you exchange your link with another site) and a lot harder to achieve a one-way link (where another website links with yours without requiring a reciprocal link). Most SEO experts agree that Google holds one-way links as highly important and will usually give a site with lots of one-way links a higher PR. The reasoning behind this is that if a lot of sites are linking to one particular site then that site must be pretty important and hence warrants a higher PR.
How do you get these prized and highly sought after links? One such way is joining forums. Of course the best forums to join would be the ones with a high PR as well as those with a high member base. Once you have joined the forum the first thing you have to do is to adjust your signature, which is found in your profile. When doing this remember that The Elusive Pot of Gold looks a lot better than http://www.theelusivepotofgold.com/ Check out my signature at The Pot of Gold Forum to see what I mean. Now every time you post in a forum your link/links is displayed at the bottom of your post. Simple, is it not?


Forum Etiquette

The first thing to remember once you have joined is that you are in someone else domain, his or her "virtual home" so do not abuse the privilege. Most forums have rules, please read and follow them at all times.
As far as posting goes you may take note of the following guidelines.

Make your questions (and responses) as clear and intelligible as possible. Watch your spelling and punctuation and refrain from using "online chat" lingo and abbreviations as these tend to look less professional and may confuse many users not used to the net or whose primary language is not English

Your post should have a relevant subject, as this is the first thing someone will see. "Runtime Error 429 ActiveX component can't create object" will attract more viewers than”Please Help" title.

Don't post in a forum where you don't have something constructive to say, this is not polite and is a waste of their time as well as your own.

Don't just go posting without first giving a lot of thought to what you about to say. Remember your posting is a door way to your site. If you write a lot of garbage no one is going to visit your site. You may gain a better PR but you have just thrown away a huge potential customer base. If you post something intelligent or are able to solve someone’s problem you will be amazed how many visitors this will send your way

Remember to be polite at all times.

Follow these rules and you will enjoy posting and with luck your PR will rise and your site will get a lot more hits.

Increasing Link Popularity.

Would you like to increase increase link popularity? If you were any sort of decent webmaster the answer to that would have to be yes. Why? Because it is essential for not only the survival of a website but in order that the site's popularity will grow thereby bringing more prospects (visitors that may convert into money)to it. Now, the obvious way to get links to your site would be to have a link exchange program. This is where you contact another site and request a link exchange. If they agree they will place a link to you on their site and you reciprocate by placing a link to theirs on your site. This is called a reciprocal link.

Even of more value than a reciprocal link is a one way link. This means that another site links to yours but you do not link to theirs. These sort of links are harder to come by but is possible through haveing a website with great content or buy actually purchasing the link.

The reason so many webmasters seek to increase their link popularity is to boost their PR rankings with the search engines, especially google. This for many is an arduous task which is why many seek profesional help. By having a professional, like usweb.com, look after this aspect frees up time to concentate on the other tasks required of a webmaster.

A Blonde Pilot?

A blonde went to a flight school insisting she wanted to learn to fly.
As all the planes were currently in use, the owner agreed to instruct her by radio on how to pilot the solo helicopter.
He took her out, showed her how to start it and gave her the basics, and sent her on her way.
After she climbed 1000 feet, she radioed in.
"I'm doing great! I love it! The view is so beautiful, and I'm starting to get the hang of this."
After 2000 feet, she radioed again, saying how easy it was to fly.
The instructor watched her climb over 3000 feet, and was beginning to worry that she hadn't radioed in. A few minutes later, he watched in horror as she crashed about half a mile away.
He ran over and pulled her from the wreckage.
When he asked what happened, she said, "I don't know! Everything was going fine, but as I got higher, I was starting to get cold. I can barely remember anything after I turned off the big fan!"

Accessories The Mother Of Invention!

I know, I know it's supposed to "Necessity Is The Mother Of Invention", but in the following case necessity brought about the formation of Belisi Fashions a company that deals with accessories. It's founder Peter Belisi originally was a bartender in Palm Beach who served the trendsetters in the area and actually craved to to embody their lifestyle.

Strangely enough to achieve this end he invested his money in ties (I reckon his wife and struggling family thought this strange) and would wear a different tie every day. Soon co-workers and clientele noticed his stand out ties, ties fit for Palm Beach trendsetters and started asking for his advice. The door opened and Belisi placed his foot firmly in it.

The Belisi Brand was then founded to enhance luxury wardrobes, while making the world a little brighter for everyone. Belisi—a name already synonymous with beauty—has earned a loyal following for its high-end, quality ties, and most recently scarves and handbags. Belisi’s guiding principle is to create Luxury with Meaning. Every time you purchase a Belisi product, you put the finishing touch on a put-together look, while fighting poverty, protecting the environment, seeking justice and funding medical research. Put simply, Belisi stands for good living: great style, quality accessories and giving back to the community. So you see for Belisi "Accessories Was The Mother Of Invention!"

Husband's View Of A Girls Night Out.

Two women friends had gone out for a Girls Night Out, and had been decidedly over-enthusiastic on the cocktails. Incredibly drunk and walking home they suddenly realized they both needed to pee. They were very near a graveyard and one of them suggested they do their business behind a headstone or something. The first woman had nothing to wipe with so she took off her panties, used them and threw them away. Her friend however was wearing an expensive underwear set and didn't want to ruin hers, but was lucky enough to salvage a large ribbon from a wreath that was on a grave and proceeded to wipe herself with it. After finishing, they made their way home.

The next day the first woman's husband phones the other husband and said, "These damn girls nights out have got to stop. My wife came home last night without her panties." "That's nothing," said the other. "Mine came back with a sympathy card stuck between the cheeks of her butt that said, 'From all of us at the Fire Station, Well never forget you!'

Salvation Army A Great Charity

I have been a member of BlogFeast for 17 weeks and one day and it is the best community that I have ever been involved in. It all started with Trishzen's POST asking the community to get together to raise money for worthy charity. Now Trishzen and Alli have combined to form the following MySpace page where anybody can make a donation.

They are currently raising money for the Salvation Army which is an international movement that do Christ's work to help the needy all over the world. I urge everyone who can spare a dollar to make a donation.

The Dating Game

One of the hardest thing for a lot of single men is actually getting out there and meeting women. There could be many reasons for this. It could be too much of a hassle, the fear of rejection or maybe even that they are too damn shy. Luckily there are dating services out there you can bring together men and women together without all the hassles.

Lovers Planet is one such dating service. They have a diverse community of single Russian women seeking men for marriage and romance. You will find many singles looking for a serious relationship. Apparently Lovers Planet understands that it takes time for a relationship to grow into marriage and their service offers profiles and photos of single Russian women and Ukraine women, as well as ladies from other countries of Eastern Europe. Most Russian brides are looking for a life partner on this site, and to them marriage is very important and they are very family orientated. So if you ask me forget the hassles and give these great looking Russians a go.

A Musicians Dream Store.

For those looking at buying an instrument, any sort of instrument at all, you can't go past InstrumentPro. Especially now that they are holding a Holiday Sale. They can cater for all sorts, the beginner through to the professional. They can even help DJ's with all their needs. When I mean they have everything I mean everything. You don't believe me, then I suggest you log onto their site and check out for yourself.

How good are you at Bar Sliding. What is that you ask? Its a game where you get five full glasses of beer which you slide across the bar one at a time seeing how close you can get it to the edge without falling off. The closer to the edge you get the more points you score. If you go over the edge not only don't you get any points but you get to hear the glass break and you can just imagine the mess it makes.

Get it right on the edge and not only will you hear the roar of the crowd, you will also score bonus points. So if you haven't done it yet play Bar Sliding now.

We Need Lawyers, Honestly We Do!

Lawyers provide the community with a useful service. They go beyond the fact that only lawyers are familiar with the legal jargon involved with nearly every legal document. Let us put behind us the old adage that lawyers are only there to fleece us and that they can’t be trusted. I mean really, should all lawyers be tarred with the same brush?

I think not! Let’s face it without lawyers the majority of us would be lost if we ever found ourselves in court. They seem to have a language of their own, one that twists and turns and seem to lead nowhere especially when you are trying to understand legal documents. Thankfully there are law firms such as simmons jannace stagg who are out there to change this false perception that lawyers seem to have.

Take the case where Thomas Stagg of Simmons, Jannace & Stagg, LLP recently obtained a ruling from the United States Bankruptcy Court in New York that clarifies a credit card company's obligation to consumers. This was a case of national significance, a ruling that was important to creditors and debtors alike. They were therefore able to reshape a particular law for the better understanding of many. This is indeed an accomplishment as unclear laws can be abused and twisted in such a fashion that lawbreakers use them to their advantage.

BlogSire's First Contest

Recently I ran a contest to try and drum up some interest in my latest games site. I offered five dollars to anyone who could beat Alli's score in Bloody Pinguin. It was an interesting venture, but I think that perhaps it was too easy a contest as the target was too easily achieved and therefore the contest did not run long enough. I think that perhaps the next time I shall run a contest with a time limit of say perhaps a week, where the person with the highest score will win the prize. Yep that sounds like the best bet, a least that way I can me assured some decent exposure.

Definition Of Courage

A bunch of generals were arguing about whose men were the most courageous when the Air Force General says to the others, "My men are the most courageous of the Armed Forces."

"Ha!" said Army, "My men are the most courageous and I'll prove it."

Army calls a Private over from the tower. He tells the Private, "I want you to jump off that tower - no rope, no parachute."

"Yes, Sir!!!" the Private yells and proceeds to climb the tower. The Private walks to the edge, yells "Hoo-ahh!" and jumps off the tower. He is killed instantly upon impact.

"That's nothing," the Air Force General said, bored. He calls a Senior Airman over. "Son, I want you to jump off that tower - no rope, no parachute and I want you to do it with style."

"Yes, Sir!!!" the Senior Airman yells. He climbs to the top of the tower, walks to the edge and jumps. He executes a swan dive that would make Greg Louganis proud, hits the ground and dies on impact.

"Hmmph," the Marine growled. "Ya'll obviously forgot the Marine Corps were here," he said (yelling "Marine Corps!" as all Marines tend to do.)

He calls a Lance Corporal over. "Marine, I want you to jump off that tower and make the Corps proud!"

The Corporal yells, "Ooh-rah!", by way of response and runs to the tower. He grabs an M-60 and ammunition belt on the way and wraps the belt around himself in the Pancho Villa style. He climbs the tower and walks to the edge. Upon reaching the edge, he throws two grenades into the air, yells "Semper Fi Do or Die!" and jumps off. He starts shooting the M-60 in mid-air, clipping treetops and yelling the entire way down. His impact is obscured by the two exploding grenades. When the smoke clears, only little pieces of the Marine are left.

The others are impressed and nod their heads in admiration. Then the Admiral says, "That's nothing." The others turn to face the Admiral, their faces in disbelief. The Admiral calls a Seaman over who was cleaning latrines. "Son, I want you to jump off that tower- no rope, no parachute."

The Seaman looks the Admiral in the face and says, "Screw you! You kiss my ass first!" and walks off.

The Admiral turns to the others and says,
"Now THAT'S courage!"

There's Gold In Them Thar Hills!

"There's gold in them thar hills!" Yep that's what the old timers used to yell in the old gold prospecting days. The days when all you had was a mule, a pick and shovel and a couple of pans. "Gold fever" would have thousands of would be miners scurrying around looking for the ever elusive lucky strike which would make them rich.

Of course the only thing that has really changed in all those years is the technology used for prospecting and retrieving gold from the grasps of mother nature. The wise however know of better ways to uncrease their wealth by the aquisition of gold products. Simply put monex.com provides a wide range of precious metal investment products. Whether its gold siver or platinum and you can have it in bullion or coins. Coins are a unique investment opportunity in that not only do you have the value of the metal but the coins as well. Imagine having a pile of your own gold American eagles.

You want to invest safely, don't do it without giving gold a thought.

Talk To The Pros About Time-Shares

A lot of people have either heard or though about time-shares which became popular in Europe in the 60’s. Basically time-shares is a joint ownership or lease of property between several people. It could time-share cruises, recreational vehicles, campgrounds or the more popular condominiums, yet one has to take into consideration the negatives and positives of time sharing.

Let us consider our first positive. Take condominiums as an example. If you were to actually buy one for holiday purposes and was only to use for two weeks of the year, unless you were able to rent it out you’d be losing money. Time-sharing allows you to pay only for what you use. Also you don’t have the hassle of maintenance and other fees while your not using it. Another plus is that hopefully in the future you will be able to sell it and make a profit. You’re also guaranteed a holiday destination and if you can’t go you could rent it out at a profit. Some people actually get into time-share just so they can rent it out and make some money.

On the down side, there can be high maintenance fees and you have to pay your share. You want to make sure you buy in the right time and place because in the short term real estate can be quite volatile. Another con used to be that you were stuck to holidaying in one place, yet luckily fairfield resorts revolutionized time-share. In 1991, the company forever changed the face of the timeshare industry by introducing FairShare Plus®, a revolutionary concept of points-based exchange. It was becoming apparent that people needed more flexibility with their time off — in their vacation length, their choices of locations, when they travelled, and even the size of the unit they stayed in. FairShare Plus offered consumers substantially greater flexibility through a yearly allotment of points that could be “spent” in increments for custom-sized accommodations at any time of the year and for varying lengths of stay.

When considering time-shares it's always best to talk to a professional like Fairfield Resorts.

It Pays To Be A Quick Thinker.

Smart Thinking

A man in the Florida supermarket tries to buy half a head of lettuce.

The very young produce assistant tells him that they sell only whole heads of lettuce. The man persists and asks to see the manager. The boy says he'll ask his manager about it.

Walking into the back room, the boy said to his manager, "Some asshole wants to buy half a head of lettuce."

As he finished his sentence, he turned to find the man standingright behind him, so he added, "And this gentleman has kindly offered to buy the other half."

The manager approved the deal, and the man went on his way.

Later the manager said to the boy, "I was impressed with the way you got yourself out of that situation earlier. We like people who think on their feet here. Where are you from, son?"

"Canada, sir," the boy replied.

"Well, why did you leave Canada?" the manager asked.

The boy said, "Sir, there's nothing but whores and hockey players up there."

"Really?" said the manager. "My wife is from Canada."

"No sh*t?" replied the boy. "Who'd she play for?"

Did You Really Want To Cuss?

A 6-year-old and a 4-year-old are upstairs in their bedroom. "You know what?" says the 6-year-old. "I think it's about time we start cussing." The 4-year-old nods his head in approval. The 6-year-old continues. "When we go downstairs for breakfast I'm going to say hell and you say ass."

"OK!" The 4 year old agrees with enthusiasm.

Their mother walks into the kitchen and asks the 6-year-old what he wants for breakfast. "Aw hell, Mom, I guess I'll have some Cheerios."

WHACK! He flies out of his chair, tumbles across the kitchen floor, gets up, and runs upstairs crying his eyes out, with his mother in hot pursuit, slapping his rear every step. The mom locks him in his room and shouts "You can just stay there till I let you out!"

She then comes back downstairs, looks at the 4-year-old, and asks with a stern voice, "And what do YOU want for breakfast young man?

"I don't know," he blubbers, "But you can bet your ass it won't be Cheerios!"

Use The Internet To Make Cash?

Yes that's right there are people out there who are making hundreds of thousands of dollars. No, I am not one of them and I am not trying to sell you anything excepth the idea that there are ways of making some extra cash by using the internet. The amount depends on how hard you work at it, the amount of research you put into it as well as how lucky you are.

The worst thing you can do is to join an affiliate that will take money off you and provide you with a ready made website. What they don't tell you is that there are hundreds if not thousands of people before you who got their website first and no-one will probably ever see yours. If they never see you website how will you make a sale.

The way around this is to have your own domain so that you can promote your site and get those visitors. There is a fantastic article on my forum that will help both experienced and new webmasters get their site to the top of Google search engines. I have found the best company to host your site is lunarpages and it would definately pay for you to check them out before making any final decisions.

Can You Complete The Shark Challenge?

Rent Money Is Dead Money!

Have you ever heard the phrase “Rent money is dead money” or “There’s no better investment than bricks and mortar”? My father burnt those phrases into my mind. He made sure I realized the importance of them because he knew it would set me up for the future. . It's easy enough to prove, just look at prices of houses today and compare it with prices 10 years ago. He showed me he was right by example. There he is living comfortably in his own home while many others who are still renting are finding it extremely hard to make ends meet.

I would suggest that this is a good plan no matter where in the world you live. Arizona Real Estate Listings will provide the earnest investor or first home buyer with many homes to choose from. Part of the Holm Group they are here to assist you whether it’s a residential purchase, re-sale, investment property, or a commercial purchase/lease that you are looking for, you can rely on The Holm Group to unsure a smooth and successful transaction.

Once you own your home fully or even partially you can use the equity in your home to help you purchase another, and then another. Before you know it you will be on your way to retirement.

A Blonde And Jokes

There is a blonde, a redhead and a brunette on the stairway to heaven.

God says, "There are 3,000 steps and I'll tell you a joke on each 1,000th step you reach. If you laugh you go to hell."

So they start walking and reach to the first 1,000th step. God tells a joke, the brunette laughs and goes to hell.

Then on the 2,000th step God tells a joke, the redhead laughs and goes to hell.

On the 3,000th step God tells a joke, the blonde doesn't laugh and proceeds to the gate.

Suddenly, she bursts out laughing. God asks, "what are you laughing about?", so she replies, "I just got the first joke!".

The Best Flower Arrangements

Flowers are well known for their beauty. A florist can enhance that beauty so that all who see it will be amazed. These arranged flowers can be used for many occasion, weddings, bithdays, engagements, to say I love you or even to say I am sorry.

One may also send flowers when a loved one dies. The difference between funeral flowers and flowers for other occasion is that there is no margin for error. You have to get it right because this is a once only occasion. this means you need a florist who is respected and is known for their followup with funeral homes as well as a courtesy call to the sender to let them know that everything has been verified and going according to plan. A florist such as dotflowers.com.

Not only can the quarantee that everything goes smoothly, they have some of the best arrangements around. You can choose from a Bouquet to an Angel's Cross Easel. No matter your requirements, they can surely be satisfied.

What Is A Diamond Without A Band Of Gold?

This can be done online and you can invest in several ways. You may choose to invest in gold bullion or for the more astute investor you could try gold coins. One would think over time that the coins may actually accrue more value over time. If gold isn't your cup of tea, then you may even try silver. I'd like to finish off with a little poem i wrote on some important aspects of gold.

Throughout the ages so I've been told
Mankind has always searched for gold
What's the alure of this beautiful mineral
Surely this lust is not behavioural

We all know that it's a thing of beauty
Is this why pirates count it as booty
Surely we all know it has many uses
Those who use it offer no excuses

What is a diamond without a band of gold
A rock on its own simply looks cold
Would you give a ring of plastic to your wife
Surely not it would land you in strife

Perhaps a band of wood would fit the bill
Come off it you dope, don't be a dill
No other metal but gold or silver will do
Anything else will land you in the poo

Gold is precious amd valuable as well
It's an investment as many will tell
Bullion or coins on the internet you can buy
And yes you can use plastic so don't be shy

Getting Customers Through That Door.

Have you ever wondered why some people succeed in business and others don't? A lot of it has to do with planning and customer relations. You have to make sure that you have a plan and have factored in all your costs and expenses and have enough to cover at least your first year of operation. The last thing you want to happen is to go broke before you even start.

As for customers they can make or break your business. You want to make sure they are well looked after not only so they spend their money but because you want repeat sales and you want the to tell everybody what a great experience that had when dealing with you.

Of course the first thing in any new business is to get those customers through your doors or to your website. You may want to advertise in your local rag, run a leaflet drop or advertise on many of the local notice boards. On should never forget the importance of Local Marketing Opportunity when starting up a business.

Another great way to get your business noticed is get it listed on the Internet. Depending what you are selling you can reach a huge potential customer base. Of course you will need to use different strategies to get you new site noticed but this should not put you off, as there is a lot of help available to get you started. If you have the time you can do all the research yourself or if time is of the essence then you can pay someone to do it for you.

Whatever you do, remember once that customer gets to your site or steps through the front door you treat them like gold. Do that you have a better chance at success in any venture you choose to start.

Wedding Plans And Sky Diving.

For all of those who are reading this, I want you to know that as a married man of some twenty odd years, if I was to do it all again I’d like to do it all differently. Naturally I would have a hard task to convince the wife, but then it would certainly make for some interesting times. We had what you would call a traditional wedding, the white dress, the church and the limousines. I think I’d like to do something more exciting.

Imagine getting married while parachuting out of the plane. Naturally the ceremony would have to be quick (a definite plus) while in free fall, and once that was complete a quick kiss, the chutes open and you land in the midst of your cheering guests.

Just to be different how about a theme wedding. I love bowling so I would even consider having the wedding, photos and reception in a bowling alley. I’d make sure everyone came dressed in the “Happy Days” 60’s theme and that the cheap wedding favors matched the theme. There is so much one can do, it’s absolutely mind-boggling.

A Family Vacation Is What I Need

Holidays are around the corner
The families on my back
It would certainly be a corker
If I could get on the right track

Family Vacation Packages I need
That’s definitely the solution
I must act with fair speed
And it’s certainly my resolution

To go online to Fairfield Getaways
And to source my destination
Their site is simple and not a maze
It needs no translation

They have so many places to go
I could take the family to Hawaii
Or maybe they would prefer the snow
Perhaps Florida would be the bee’s knee

It’s certain I must decide
Should I book the weekend?
And take just my bride
But where shall I the children send

No, for sure the family I must take
For a holiday we all deserve
For a certainty this Holiday I must make
So good times we can all observe

For The Love Of A Car!

Men and women alike have always had a love for exotic cars. I am no different. Cars to me can be a thing of beauty and a wild beast all rolled into one. My favourite has always been the Ferrari, the prancing horse signifying that wild beast trapped under the hood ready to gallop at the slightest pressure on the accelerator. Of course it has to be read, and if I had a choice it would have to be the classic Dino Ferrari. I loved that car, and I had a chance to buy one once and I let it slip through my fingers, one of my life’s regrets.

Of course had JDM motors been around then I would have that car in my garage today. They could have organized everything for me including finance. They would have given me all the right advice so that I would not over finance the car. They would explain how the car loan would depend on the car's purchase price less down payment, rebates, and trade-in value. How other costs can influence how much loan I needed. They would also explain how any extras I would want would increase the actual loan and therefore the repayments. I would have had peace of mind. I may just have to go over there to see what cars they have on offer. Maybe my Dino is there waiting for me.

Vacation Time In Orlando.

Orlando Florida is a place that has changed so much in its short history. Some historians date the name Orlando as originating in 1836 when a Soldier named Orlando Reeves died in the area against an Indian tribe. He operated a sugar mill and plantation in Volusia County and some settlers found his name carved in a tree and assumed it was a marker for where it was buried so it became known as Orlando’s grave and later just Orlando.

Orlando became a typical western town full of bar brawls and gunfights, but no more today it is a robust and growing community full of things to do. In fact, its main industry today is tourism. Its not surprising that tourism is such a big industry when you consider what the place has to offer.

Orlando Florida is so much more than theme parks and sunshine! Yep it has theme parks so the kids will have a wow of a time. These theme parks include Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World, Islands of Adventure as well as water parks, golf (Yay Golf) and some of the best fishing in the world! Yet only 45 minutes away from the theme parks will take you to countryside very similar to the rolling hills and oak trees of the England.

Its got golf courses, romantic gondola rides, heaps of shopping places for the wife as well as many places to wine and dine her. If you’re looking for a place to stay then Orlando Vacation Home is the place to go. Simply go on line and search the site for that special place for you and your family to spend its next holiday.

Auto Insurance Online, Quick And Easy!

I have always thought it would be pretty rough being a woman driving all alone, especially at nights. So I wasn’t too amazed when I found out that there apparently is an insurance company that is offering their female customers the ultimate in protection. This company, Sheila’s Wheels has the ‘Buddy on Demand” scheme. Nope, you don’t phone for help, what you do in the case of suspicious characters is flip a switch and whammy; you get an instant male companion. You would have to get the timing right or they would be wondering what he was doing under the dash.

In regards to buying a car, one of the first things you have to remember is auto insurance online. Never, ever purchase a car and drive it home without having it insured first. Why? Because of Murphy! Yep you heard me, if you are ever dumb enough not to insure your vehicle, you can bet your bottom dollar that Murphy’s Law would strike you down with lightning, or at the very least you will have a crash on the way home.

Today, because of the Internet, there is no excuse not to get any form of insurance. It’s so easy now to go online and get the right package that you would be an absolute dolt not to get one straight away. So if you’ve just bought a car, don’t hesitate, get online now for your best insurance quotes.

I'm Joining The Paintball Craze

A friend of mine was telling me about this great experience he had on the weekend. Apparently the company he worked for had organized a skirmish of sorts for their employees. This involved getting into teams armed with guns. No not real guns, these were paintball guns and it’s a sport in which participants use these compressed air guns to shoot paintballs filled with colored paint at other players. It’s a great game that requires team work (or it did in their situation) and it's quite fun.

Apparently, although the equipment needed is often supplied, its always better to bring your own which is normally in better condition and more up to date. They say that cheap paintball gear is one of the best suppliers of anything you would ever need to get into this exciting sport. Zephyrpaintball.com was founded in 2004 with the idea of bringing low prices, customer service and fast shipping to the paintball world. Whether its guns (a large variety), goggles, masks or outfits, you can find it all here. Now my friend's trying to convince me to join this unique sport. I tell ya he won’t have to try too hard.

I Gotta Ge Me Some Van Racks

You know its unbelievable how you can buy a truck or a van thinking that you’ve solved all your space problems only to find out your still short on room. Sometimes it’s not the amount of space that stuffs you up but the size of the compartment. I mean you want to stick a ladder in your van, or skis, surfboard or whatever and it just won’t fit.

Thankfully van racks have the solutions to solve all these problems. They have a website offering a quick and easy accessory shopping experience. It doesn’t matter whether you have a car, truck or van they have all the accessories you will ever need. It doesn’t matter if its interior, exterior or towing accessories your after they are definitely the one stop shopping experience.

You can browse online by category, individual products or even brand names and have great online tips and suggestions. If your purchase is over $100 (for FedEx ground services within the Continental US - Excluding oversized items) they can even provide free shipping. I reckon the right van racks can solve my problem.
