Southern Fresh Water Total Fishing Tips

Sunday, December 31, 2006

My trip into the south to uncover the best techniques for catching catfish has yielded some unusual yet astounding results. I first arrived in a small town called Belton in the great state of Texas. I asked some of the locals where a good place to catch catfish would be. I was directed to Lake Belton only about 15 minutes from where I was. Boat in tow, with a bucket of minnows, and a box of night crawlers I headed out to see what kind of success I would have. I ended up going to about four different spots spending roughly two hours only to have my bait stolen off the hook. I started (Read more)

Why Get an iPod MP3 Player?

Sunday, December 31, 2006

Way back when I was a kid, I thought it was pretty cool when I got my very own walkman for Christmas. Just think! Now I could pop in a tape, press the play button, and listen to music wherever I went! How much things have changed since those days! I have just bought my second iPod, a 2GB second generation nano, and I can’t believe we lived without these fantastic devices for so long! It makes me wonder what the next twenty years have in store for the average music fan! These new iPod MP3 players are lighter and thinner than ever before, and the biggest model (still smaller than the (Read more)

Stop Snoring Through Singing

Sunday, December 31, 2006

Surgery is but one of the many options to stop snoring. As it is an invasive procedure, it is best to be considered if other options are not bringing you the results that you hope to achieve. One alternative method that you may wish to consider is singing. A study in the United Kingdom was conducted to examine if singing exercises could be used to strengthen the palate, make it less flabby and so less likely to vibrate. Less vibration would mean less likely to cause snoring. The study involved twenty people who snored nightly. Their sleeping and snoring patterns were monitored for seven (Read more)

Lowering Cholesterol on a Low-Fat 80/20 Diet

Sunday, December 31, 2006

My husband forgot to take the trash can to the curb on trash pick up day this week. I heard the truck coming so I dashed outside just in time to get our load added to the collection. It was cold outside and I was making a run for the warmth of my house when I heard my neighbor whom I hadn’t seen in a while call to me. “You’re looking slim and trim!” “I am?” I was shocked that she could tell a difference in my shape. I had been eating a low-fat diet for about three weeks and I could tell a difference in the way my clothes fit but my weight hadn’t (Read more)

7 Parenting Strategies That Cause Sibling Rivalry

Sunday, December 31, 2006

Sibling rivalry comes with the parenting territory. If you feel uncomfortable with rivalry between siblings then maybe it is best to stop at one child. After the birth of the second child you may think you are bringing a playmate home for the first born but in his or her eyes you have brought someone into your home who is a rival for your affection and attention. This of course is not how you see the situation but then it is your child’s private logic that matters. The current trend to have small, planned families promotes competition between siblings. Rivalry is generally intense (Read more)

Beatles verses iTunes: Much Ado over an Apple

Sunday, December 31, 2006

It’s just an apple, but it has had some legendary rockers fighting a legendary computer company for over fifteen years. When the surviving members of The Beatles created their Apple Corps record label in the late 1960s, I doubt that they ever thought they would be battling in court over the rights to the name and image some forty years later. It’s Paul, Ringo and the survivors of George and John verses Apple Computer and iTunes. In 1991 the two adversaries came to an agreement which they thought would keep one Apple trademark associated with computers and the other with music. (Read more)
