The Internet is a great place to source for fun games to play. There are many electronic games available for free on the Internet, and you can play to your heart’s content. However, you may be spending too much time in front of the computer and eventually get tired or bored. If so, perhaps it’s time to try out some simple games.

Yahtzee is an often neglected game that most people have not even heard about. It’s a simple game that requires the use of five dice, and a score card. You can play this game with your family and friends, and the game encourages social interaction. Once you learn the rules of the game, you will find that it’s actually rather similar to a card game. Here is how the game is played.

First, you will need five dice, and a special Yahtzee score card to keep the scores. The five dice represents the numbers from 1 to 6. In each hand, a player will start by rolling all five dice. Each hand consists a total of three rolls. You may decide to roll up to three rolls, or you may decide to end a hand early if you have achieved the result that you want.

The goal for each hand is to achieve the best result in a poker hand. If you are already familiar with the rules of poker, you will find this game very easy to pick up. For example, having three similar numbers will give you a better score than just two similar numbers. That’s where the second and third rolls come in. If, in the first roll, you are not satisfied with the result, you can choose to keep the dice with the numbers that you want, and roll the remaining dice. The numbers from the second and third roll will then combine with your existing numbers to give the final result. Get all five numbers to be similar and you have got a Yahtzee! This result is then recorded in the score card, and makes up part of your total score.

In a way, the score keeping for the Yahtzee game is similar to that of a Bowling game. When you are pitting yourself against other players, you are trying to achieve the highest possible score in each and every hand. The player who ends up with the highest score wins the game. The rules are so simple that there is little chance for confusion to occur. Just make sure that all scores are kept properly as the game progresses.

There are commercial Yahtzee games available for sale in retails stores, or on the Internet. They come in different packaging, but the ground rules remain the same. Children may want to play a game of animal Yahtzee. The rules are the same, but the dice have animals on them. For teenagers and grown ups, perhaps a traditional game of Yahtzee will provide hours and hours of fun and excitement.

I started blogging in May of 2006. I wanted to create a place on the internet where I could accomplish two goals:

Goal #1.

I wanted to give my opinions on Current Events and, hopefully, encourage others to join me in a lively exchange of ideas. You see, I am a retired Radio/TV News broadcaster. Giving my opinions was something I did not have the luxury of doing during my career because I had to remain neutral. Now, I can give my opinions and I am having great fun doing it!

Goal #2.

I wanted to make a little extra money in my retirement while learning something new. Many male retirees head for the golf course, the Bowling alley, even the Club to down a few beers and talk sports. None of that appeals to me so I chose to learn something new – the internet and blogging.

Well, what began as simple goals grew into nearly a full time project! I now have 15 blogs covering various topics! I chose Blogger.com because it’s totally Free! It’s a Google company so I automatically get great exposure. As of this writing, my pages have been viewed over 8,000 times! Not bad for someone who knew absolutely nothing about the internet.

Trying to make a little extra money was a bit tougher. I quickly got lost in the jungle of internet marketing, dodging the darts from various tribes (marketers). I began exploring any path that seemed promising, that would lead me out of the jungle. I signed up for countless newsletters, forums, and special packages of Free stuff. My computer files were quickly loaded with tons and tons of directions to do this and that. I was quickly lost and overwhelmed by the choices. It took over an hour each day just to get through all the emails from marketers!

It quickly became clear that I needed a guide, someone or something, a guide that could really show me the way out of the jungle. One thing I knew, right off the bat was: Hold onto my money!

I have read of folks, like me, who have spent thousands of dollars on the various get-rich-overnight schemes only to be disappointed. Are in that category? Have you already spent hundreds or thousands of dollars only to be disappointed? Are you still lost in the internet jungle, trying to buy your way out?

As of this article I have only spent $127.00 on internet marketing programs. I got a refund of $17.00 of that from a marketer who misrepresented his product. But, I did not get the refund from him. I got the refund from my credit card company. They are going after him for the $17.00. You see, he lives in another country. I’ll explain why this was a problem in a minute.

Here is how to avoid being scammed by internet marketing hucksters:

#1 – Use Google, Yahoo, and MSN to search by the name of the program that interests you.

Not only will you find positive comments but, if the program is a scam, you will find negative comments as well. If it’s a relatively new program you might not find anything either way. If you find nothing – DO NOTHING! Don’t be the first victim and always remain cautious as you move through the steps outlined here.

#2 – Make sure there is a 100% No-Questions-Asked-Money-Back-Guarantee!

This is not always completely safe as evidenced by the $17.00 I had to get back. That marketer pleaded poverty and said he did not have the money to issue a refund. He offered to give me a different product in exchange for my refund. While most marketers will honor their guarantee, this guy was obviously a scam artist. It only takes a few to empty your wallet.

#3 – Know who you are dealing with.

Reputable marketers will disclose their identity up front. There should be an easy way to contact them and their name and location should be readily available. One of the things I regularly do is send them an email with questions about the product. I wait to see how long it takes them to respond and how clear their answer is. If they do not respond within 24 hours, move on. Do not buy the product. Obviously they will not respond quickly when you need help with their product.

#4 – If you do buy a program, make sure you test it immediately.

The idea here is to be sure you are within the time frame of the guarantee to ask for a refund if you are not satisfied. Some of the programs take some time to implement. You may have to ask questions of the author. All this takes time. The clock begins ticking when you download the program or method.

#5 – Know the country of origin.

This ties in with knowing who you are dealing with. The interenet is worldwide in scope. I am in the United States. I have downloaded Free stuff from many marketers in many countries around the world.

Here is the important thing to remember: They are not bound by the Internet Marketing Laws of the United States! That’s right. It may be difficult, if not impossible, to get a refund from a foreign scam artist.

The marketer I mentioned earlier was from Quebec, Canada. My credit card company operates in Canada so they are after him. They already have credited my card for the $17.00. Bottom line: Do your research (see #1 above) before you whip out the plastic!

#6 – Search online for Internet Scams.

I left this for last because there is no single website that lists every single scam. That would literally be an impossible task. But, all do list a few scams so save this step for when you have exhausted all the other steps. Just Google “Internet Scams” to find these types of websites. Some of these allow you to report a scam as well.

I hope this will be your guide out of the internet marketing jungle. It has served me well. I trust it will serve you and save you a lot of money and frustration.

Remember this – It’s Get Rich Slow that works everytime!

Yours for success in life.

If you are bored with your tiddly winks club, your monster truck has broken down one too many times, and knitting isn’t your thing.  Perhaps you should be looking for a new hobby.  Bowling is hard on the back, gemstone collecting is a little too expensive, and cooking just might expand your waste line too much.  So what do you choose?  Model trains just might be for you.

The uninitiated may look at model trains as toys, not something a grown person would want to be associated with.  But a closer look into the hobby will show that not only is this a grown up hobby, it is rewarding from a technical, historical, and aesthetic standpoint as well.  Model trains have been around for over a century and while they started out as marketing tools for the real railroads, enthusiasts soon demanded more and more to satisfy their thirst for this rewarding hobby.

?

So is train modeling for you?  Let’s take a look. There are several different aspects to the hobby that may be appealing.  First is the history.  Model train enthusiasts pride themselves on building accurate scale models of real railroads.  In order to preserve that accuracy, some knowledge of history is required.  Learning about an industry that was once the primary method of long distance travel can be very interesting.

A second attraction to model trains is doing something that requires working with your hands to make something that can be displayed to others with pride.  Whether it is the scenery, the benchwork, or the trains themselves, this can be a fairly technical hobby that requires some level of skill in working with your hands.  There are aspects of woodworking, metalworking, mechanics, electricity, automation, and crafts all rolled up into this hobby.  If you are only interested in one of these things, the others can mostly be purchased as kits so that you do not have to be a jack of all trades.

One more thing that may interest those with children or grandchildren is the opportunity to share a hobby with them.  Because these are “toy sized” trains, they are often seen by children as interesting and exciting, but because they are not toys, and require some skill to operate, adults also find them interesting and exciting.  This is a great hobby for adults and children to enjoy together.  It is totally appropriate for everyone, men, women, boys and girls!

So if your interest is piqued, perhaps the model train hobby is for you.  If you would like to learn more, there are many resources you can find both locally in hobby stores, in model train clubs and on the internet.  Check it out!

After your partner dumps you, you can act on many theories to win ex back.  Many advisors will tell you to play head games with your ex.  But by messing with her head to win her back, you’re building a weak foundation upon which you can rebuild your relationship if and when you reconcile. 

When you were dating, she’d send you text messages all day long.  Now you get zip.  It would be a good idea for you to call her once or twice a week to remain in touch and maintain the possibility of reuniting.

 Be sure to call on her birthday and other important days.  You can also mail her a note or thoughtful gift when you are trying to win ex back. 

If you see a magazine article she might like, mail it to her with a brief message.  Include her on your email list to friends when you distribute news, personal updates or jokes. 

You must decide if and how much to date other women when you are also campaigning to win ex back.  If you dedicated your quest to win ex back, it’s not a good move to date others.

 Even if you are only contemplating a renewed relationship, don’t sleep with any other woman.  Perhaps this bit advice is the opposite of what you’ve heard.  Some advisors tell you to date continually to stir up your ex and incite jealousy.  But such games will really foul things up if you do reunite. 

Stay cool if she dates other guys.  She broke up with you. She can do what she likes. You can make gains by analyzing the men she’s dating to determine what she wants in a partner.

For example, if she left you because you were taking your relationship for granted, she might be impressed by men who dazzle her with attention.  And, maybe, if your tastes favored Bowling and beer and now she’s drawn to musicians and writers, you might want to develop at least an appreciation of the arts and of your sensitive side to win ex back. 

By analyzing your ex, you can get a pretty good idea as to the type of guy she needs and wants. 

Because you’re no longer a couple, certain barriers have grown between the two of you.  This can makes it easier for you to see what she needs from a man because your own baggage and feelings are out of the picture.  Remain sensitive to her words — what she says and what she doesn’t say.  And closely scrutinize her actions. 

Don’t show your cards.  She’s got the power in the relationship.  By pouring out your emotions, you increase her power.  By telling her she’s your one and only, she can manipulate your destiny.  When you keep your feelings to yourself, you can maintain the strength you have to rebuild the relationship after you reconnect. 

While you’re still separated, improve yourself.  Lift some weights, jog and work out regularly.  Put some definition into your abs.  Perhaps you should also consider a new haircut that benefits your features. 

And make sure you improve your mind as well as your body.  Devoting time to improving yourself on all fronts will make you a better catch for your ex. 

When all is said and done, you can attempt head games or you can do your best to repair your previous problems in order to get your ex back.  But when you pay attention to the problems, you’re building a solid foundation for when you’ve come through to win ex back.

If you are stuck for a vacation this year why not try one of the many Hilton Head golf vacations on offer, at the southern end of South Carolina. Combine a great climate with a marvelous golfing and seaside vacation that nobody in your family will gripe about.

Who can gripe about the otters, bobcats and mink? Or just off-island, the dolphins and loggerhead turtles? Your family will love you for this vacation so much that you will be able to golf all day without so much as a murmur of complaint…well, perhaps! I can’t see why not, though. The shopping is fine and the entertainment is great. The kids will be happy with the beaches to play on and there are also miniature golf courses for them to learn on.

Golf Schools and Bowling Alleys – Something for Everyone

Can your partner play golf? If not, there are lots of golf schools here you can take him or her to visit and get a few lessons. There is plenty for everybody to do and almost three hundred places to eat! There are Bowling alleys, a huge tennis complex and water sports to die for. If anybody complains about there being ‘nothing to do’ on Hilton Head Island, they are nuts!

The courses themselves are great and have been designed by the best. Davis Love III, Arnold Palmer and the Golden Bear himself all designed courses here. Being on an island, they are mainly links courses, and offer you a different challenge to that of an inland golf course. It’s less target golf and more a knowledge of conditions, wind and bounce, though it’s still a lot of fun and provides valuable experience. You will love it, believe me!

You Must Play the Harbor Town Links Course

Hilton Head Harbor Town Golf Links is the most famous of the courses, with its trademark red and white lighthouse designed specifically for the eighteenth hole. Its 18th hole has been featured in Golf Magazine, and it is a course that every visitor to Hilton Head than can hold a club must play. There’s no excuse and there is a lot for the other family members to be getting on with while the golfers enjoy their round.

If you have had golfing holidays in the past that you have enjoyed, but your family has not been too enamored with due to the lack of facilities for the non-golfers among them, then you must try this island. Hilton Head golf vacations have a lot to offer everybody, whether they play golf or not. Give yourself and your family a treat this summer.

One of the biggest effects that Google Suggest might have on the search experience would be that the searches will most probably lose the long tail keywords. The chances are that, users would not manually input long search queries, instead would rather rely on Google Suggest and prefer the short tail queries suggested by Google.

As Martin Bowling explains, “Google will now be forcing users into high-volume, high-money terms (i.e., terms that people are bidding on via Adsense) it’s almost like Google is creating a new Top 10 before the user is ever even taken to the SERPs. For more details go to www.brew-own-beer.com .By having your primary keywords that you are ranking for listed in this drop down, you are far more likely to get traffic than those related terms that aren’t being listed. When presented with options, people will generally choose one.”

Over at Site Creations, Scott Clark, has put up a very interesting post that highlights the 9 potential ways, through which Google Suggest might change the pattern of search marketing. These potential steps are:

1. Google Suggest Drop Down a new micro “SERP”: “Those who make their way into the suggest feature get a “better than #1? position. For example, typing “ipod case” into Google with Suggest shows the first suggested feature as “ipod cases at Wal-Mart” – grabbing people and then offering up the organic page free from PPC ads that use “Wal-Mart” in their keywords.”
2. Google Suggest Results May Change Long-Tail Search Optimization: “Those of us who believe in doing long-tail marketing may find an decrease down the tail from search, and a greater need to develop segments of our site to serve those long tail queries. Searches that used to come in with two word phrases may now have 3-4 words, which helps with medium-tail optimization, but longer phrases previously further down the tail may be “clipped.” This will concentrate search terms so that Adwords bids will rise and competition increases in a sort of ‘cluster’ effect.”
3. We May See More Traffic to Regional Sites: People regularly enter ‘cheap gas’ and ‘best dentist’ in search engines – without qualifying the searches at all. Organic results tend to send people to national portals, but suggest-driven search gets them closer to well optimized, regional sites. For more details go to www.dream-revealed.com .A search for ‘cheap gas’ without search suggest offers gasbuddy.com at number one organic result, while a ‘suggested’ search for ‘cheap gas houston’ gives houstongasprices.com.
4. Google Suggest SERPS offer More Impact for Trademark Blocking in PPC: “If your tradename is offered in
Google suggest results, and you’ve filed a trademark complaint form, the results page will be free from paid competition giving you a better shot at the traffic through organic or ppc links.”
5. Google Suggest Can Improve User/Searcher Skills Forever: “With Google suggest constantly popping up when you go about your daily queries, many who never really thought of keyphrases will now start to think about them. It will be a constant reinforcement of our efforts to think about how consumers search. We may have to adjust our planning to meet these enhanced skills.”
6. Google Suggest Can Be an Ad-Hoc Negative Keyword Tool: “There are other ways to be more comprehensive, but Google suggest can help to identify negative keywords you may want to enter in your campaigns. And I saw some negative phrases with higher index numbers that never showed up in Google keyword tools.”
7. Dramatically Reduced Spelling Error Opportunity: “While many of us set up ad-groups to capture spelling errors, this will have a decreasing impact as people start to use the suggest feature as a live auto-correction. Typo-campaigns may get less traffic.”
8. Hijacking Google Suggest May Become a SEO Technique: “It may become possible to hijack Google suggest so that competitive phrases are strategically flashed to the user. For example.. if you sell “abc widget” then a suggest of “abc widget fails miserably” could be used to divert traffic.”
9. Better Searches Offer Improved Analytics Information: “With the user making clear choices among those available, we’ll have better information about what is enticing and engaging to the users. Vague, high volume two-word searches are always confusing when we’re looking to make decisions, and this might just help us plan better.”

ALGONQUIN — School gymnasiums, storefronts and even parks have been used for services by area church groups without a building of their own.

Now, one local congregation is even making use of a bowling alley.

Carpentersville residents recently received a mailing from a church that meets at the Brunswick Zone XL — the big, upscale Bowling center at 1611 S. Randall Road in Algonquin.

That is something you definitely don’t see everywhere-people gathering for religious services in a bowling alley! The whole idea is to give the churchgoers a more unique environment. In fact, after the services are over, tables are turned and members enjoy meals and small talk.

The bowing alley is big enough to accommodate the attendance of 60-100 and the number seems to be growing. Is there anything wrong with making such a place a venue for worship?

If you think of it, it isn’t really the place that matters and since there aren’t any ‘forbidden’ vices going on in the venue, making it a ‘place for the Lord’ doesn’t seem wrong at all. Who knows, maybe some of the members may even get interested to learn bowling after using the arena for while.
