Golf On A Budget

I know what you’re thinking – golf on a budget! Can there be such a thing? Well, it is possible, if you take a balanced, objective look at the strategies used in marketing golf products.
Case in point – I just interviewed a local golf shop owner today. We were talking about the new golf balls, and he was telling me that representatives from different companies send him golf balls to use, hoping that he’ll recommend them to his customers.
Well, he said he’s tried just about everything, and in his opinion, they all play about the same now. Picking up a box of 12 Titleist balls, he said, “This one is probably the best.” They cost $24.99 for the dozen. Then he laughed and picked up another box. “But this one is our best seller.”
The box was priced $44.99 for View the rest of this article

Planning A Serenity Garden

"Kiss of the sun for pardon. Song of the birds for mirth. You're closer to God's heart in a garden
than any place else on earth." -- Dorothy Frances Gurney
It’s an oft-quoted (and misquoted! I had to look it up for the exact words) poem. Dorothy Frances Gurney expressed the way that most people feel about their gardens. It is in the garden that we feel the touch of the Divine more than anywhere else. It is the reason that throughout the world, men and women have put aside careers to become gardeners, planters and farmers.
There is more to it than the kiss of the sun and the song of the birds, though. When you garden, you find yourself becoming attuned to the natural rhythms of the earth – the pull of the moon, the promise of the rain, the life-giving warm View the rest of this article

Internet Marketing Tip: Know What Marketing Means

You then develop strategies - both online and offline - about your product`s important features, persuade your potential customers to purchase your product, and make sure your customers are satisfied with their purchase.

Bleach – Our Reliance On It Is A Mistaken Belief; Part3

From the first two articles it has hopefully become obvious that bleach does exactly that. It bleaches coloured pigments so they are transparent. It doesn’t clean by removing. I was trying to explain this to my son-in-law who said he swore by bleach and used it for many things. Only that morning he said he had used it to clean the tannin from stained teaspoons. Again I attempted to explain that the tannin was still there it had just been bleached so he couldn’t see it. His answer was I cannot see it so it has gone and the spoons are nice and shiny once again.. Defeated yet again by the power of bleach!
Having thought about this for some little time now perhaps I should reconsider my quest to re-educate people about the use of bleach. The power of what people perc View the rest of this article

The Charlotte Mason Method Increases The Effectiveness Of A Home School Reading Program

When it comes to home schooling, parents need all of the resources they can muster. Designing curricula, scheduling field trips, and tailoring lesson plans to children in different grade levels can be challenging. Using children's literature to enrich the curriculum you teach in the home learning environment can be rewarding to both you and your children.
Charlotte Mason, a British educator whose life spanned the last quarter of the nineteenth century and the first quarter of the twentieth century, fervently advocated the use of literature in children's education. Often referred to as the founder of home schooling, Mason pioneered a liberal arts approach to children's education. In contrast to the rigid memorization required of students during her time, Mason's e View the rest of this article

Add Color To Your Garden With Blue Perennial Flowers

Blue flowers are some of the most striking plants around and can add a rich splash of color to any garden. Plant them in a cluster of all blue or mix them in with other flowers for a rainbow of color.
When planting flowers, it is important to remember to follow the instructions on the tag for the plant. Always buy plants that will thrive in the conditions in which you intend to grow them. A plant that loves sun won't do well in a shady area and you will only be disappointed with the results.
When planning your garden, be aware of the bloom time of the flowers. Planting perennials with different bloom times near each other will insure a garden that has blooms all season long. Remember also to plan for the height of the plants, putting the taller ones in the ba View the rest of this article

Getting A College Degree After The Military

The men and women who serve in America?s armed forces, National Guard, and reserve forces have paid a great service to our country.

The benefits of a college degree for current and future employment are clearly evident. So too are the economic benefits and increased earning power of having a college education. That?s why America owes military veterans the assistance to make their second chance a successful one.
Most branches of the Armed Forces have specific funding and scholarships dedicated to their men and women on active dut View the rest of this article

Boosting Your Credit-Rating With A Well-Managed Credit Card

Audio On The Web - How To Do It With Ease

It always amazes me at how many bands and musicians don't have audio on their web sites. Doing so increases sales of your album and makes it easier to get people to come out to gigs, so why wouldn't you?
There are usually two reasons:
1. People are scared to giveaway their music because "people don't buy what they get for free."
This isn't true and the best example I can think of to illustrate the point is bottled water. People can get water for free, of basically free, but they pay a premium to have it in a nice container.
Why wouldn't they do the same with your music?
2. People don't have the technical skills to do it.
If this applies to you, get Audio Generator because you simply upload your music to their servers, they give you a snippet o View the rest of this article
