| Article Title :: Slack Economy Fuels eBay Shopping |
| |
|
With the current economic outlook appearing fairly bleak for
many individuals and businesses, most feel the need to make
every dollar count.
But, no matter how bad the economy does or doesn't get for every
one of us, one fact remains a constant of human nature: People
love a bargain!
This fact came home quite clearly to me last week when I used
eBay to turn an expensive business purchase into an almost
guilty buying pleasure.
I needed to purchase a very specialized piece of equipment for
my home office called a "Mimio Board." It converts a standard
"white board" you draw on with erasable markers into a digital
board you use with your PC. In short, everything you draw on the
board shows (read full article) |

Should We Walk or Ride
Most of us when playing golf are riding in carts. But should we
consider walking rather than riding?
The PGA has written they believe "walking is the most enjoyable
way to play golf and the use of carts is detrimental to the
game." They claim "this negative trend needs to be stopped now
before it becomes accepted that riding in a cart is the way to
play golf."
There is no doubt that walking the course is a good exercise
program. There have been many scientific studies to prove that
walking a golf course is a great exercise. One study has shown
that walking 18 holes has about the intensity of 50 percent of
maxium aerobic workout. Another study shows that bad cholest (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Your Child's Goldfish ~ easy, inexpensive care ~ |
| |
|
Goldfish are popular starter pets for children and a good
parental choice when it comes to budget and time considerations,
although you should take note that goldfish can grow to be
anywhere from 6 to 12 inches and may live for as long as 10
years.
Getting Ready
The day before you take your child to the pet shop, fill clean
buckets with 10 gallons (that's 16 quarts or nearly 40 liters)
of water so that it has 24 to 48 hours in which to allow
chlorine, lead and any other toxins to evaporate and in order
that the water is room temperature. Goldfish can survive in a
wide range of temperatures, from above 50 to below 80 degrees
Fahrenheit (that's 10 and 27 degrees Celsius respectively). It's

We recently planted our saskatoon berry trees. I am sure those
of you who live in Saskatchewan know exactly what I am talking
about. For the 99.99999% of Internet readers who have never even
heard of Saskatchewan, let alone of saskatoon berries, allow me
to explain.
Saskatoon is the name of one of the two big cities in
Saskatchewan. In this case, "big" is a relative word. But
Saskatoon is big enough to have a food named after it, which
puts it in the same league as Hamburg (hamburgers), France
(French fries) and Iceland (ice).
Saskatchewan is a small Canadian province. Small in that its
population can comfortably fit onto the deck of a luxury cruise
liner ... except who would want to do t (read full article) |

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. No matter how
excellent the quality of your HDTV, 18" DBS receiver, or
DVD/DVD-AUDIO player, it'll never see the light (or sound) of
day if
The interconnect (if there's a jack for it) which yields the
highest quality is not employed.
The cable isn't sufficient at isolating the signal from other
signals, or limiting signal loss through "leakage."
So here are a few basic tips you may or may not already be aware
of, that will increase the probability you'll extract the
highest quality your audio/video gear is capable of providing.
1. REPLACE ORIGINAL CABLES: Those "free" ones which come with
most components may have a quality "look", (especia (read full article) |

Well the first new video is almost ready. We have all of our
deer hunting footage recorded and ready for release. We
anticipate a late spring or early summer release. The turkey
season is the last part of filming that is required. Join Marty
Anthony, Jamie Honeycutt, and John Hollingsworth in our upcoming
video. We are Mississippi Outdoor Adventures.
We look forward to the best turkey season in years. We have seen
more turkeys this year than ever before. I saw flocks almost
every day of deer season with 20-40 turkeys, including some
great big gobblers. Just the other day I saw an albino gobbler.
I personally am looking forward to taking my first turkey with a
bow this year. We look forwa (read full article) |

What causes us to become collectors?
For some of us, it's as simple as finally being able to afford
to have that certain thing that, as a child, we always wanted
but were unable to attain due to a lack of finances. Perhaps we
dreamed of it, longed for it, and hoped for it so much, that
now, as adults having the money to buy it...we simply can't get
enough of it! For my mother-in-law it was dolls. Now, in her
seventies she has many dolls! Some she has purchased for
herself, but most have been gifts from those who have known that
she loved them as a girl, yet never had one of her very own. The
variety of dolls she now has, adorn her bedroom and give her
great pleasure...a testimony to the (read full article) |

Live the Life of a Civil War Soldier When you Drink your Mornin’
Coffee
by Paula McCoach The Coffee Customer Spoiler Civil War soldiers,
Confederate and Union, used to make their coffee in pots. But on
the march, they just used their boilers. Remember: don’t boil
coffee. Confederates and Union soldiers had a little bit of
coffee, chewin tabaccie, and that was it. Moreover, Confederates
usually had tobacco, and Union troops had the coffee. When the
troops would cross paths during the war, they would trade coffee
for tobacco and vice versa. Soldiers would take their hardtack
biscuits and soak it in coffee and get some fat and put it in a
frying pan and fry a crust on the hardtack like ch (read full article) |

Coffee Brewin' - Civil War Style by: Paula McCoach The Coffee
Customer Spoiler!!
Even though there was a war between the states, both Confederate
and Union soldiers still drank their morning coffee. But how did
they make it? Obviously, being in the 1860's and in the open
fields and battlegrounds, there were no electric coffee makers,
cappuccino machines, and not even latte! Jim McCoach, a Civil
War reenactor for 25 years, has recreated the method they used
and named it Open-Pot Brewin'.
Open-Pot Brewin' is a unique technique developed by Coach's
Coffee to serve Civil War reenactors coffee in the field. First,
Coach's Coffee starts with their own blend, Coach's Blend. This

Coffee on Campaign Confederate and Union Soldiers Roast their
Own Coffee, and You Can Do it Just Like them and other Little
Beans about their Coffee Drinkin’ Habits and the War Between the
States
by Paula McCoach as dictated by the Coach The Coffee Customer
Spoilers
Roastin’ their own coffee was a common activity among soldiers
in the War Between the States. They would carry only a few items
and sometimes they would have been issued green coffee that they
would roast. Their tin cup was what they had to complete the
entire process. Some of them did have a frying pan, but for the
most part, they would roast the beans in their tin cups.
To do this at home, use a heavy iron frying pan. (read full article) |
