Test Match cricket is said as the real test of cricket. Every professional cricketer prefers test cricket rather than playing a one day match or T-T Match. But if we look this from public opinion, its no doubt they see 20 20 cricket or a 50 over match a better alternative because they do not like waiting for 5 days to get a result.One day cricket’s short form is t20 cricket.It is most exiciting form of all levels of cricket.

Worthing is a large town with a population of approximately 100,000, situated on the South Coast of England between the South Downs and the English Channel. It is located 60 miles south of London and 11 miles west of Brighton. It is served by good roads, rail and bus connections.

Evidence of settlement in the Worthing area goes back over 60,000 years to the Stone Age. By the New Stone Age, around 5,500 years ago, it was one of Britain’s most important flint mining centres.  With its banks and ditches enclosing an area of 65 acres Cissbury Ring is one of Britain’s greatest prehistoric hill forts.

It was built during the Iron Age, the construction beginning before 300 BC and was probably a tribal capital. The Romans occupied the area with coins, tiles and pottery having been found as well as evidence of buildings and roads from that period.  

From the time the Saxons settled until the late 18th Century, Worthing consisted of a number of fishing and farming communities. It then began to grow along with other settlements such as Brighton and Bognor Regis when with the medical profession praising sea-water as a cure-all.It became fashionable to visit the seaside.

For Worthing this popularity was in part due to George III deciding that his daughter, Princess Amelia, should visit in 1798. By 1803 with a population of approximately 2500, some streets, fine residences, hotels and boarding houses, Worthing gained the status as a town.

Since then Worthing has expanded, incorporating local villages to develop to what it is today. The Esplanade was built in 1821 and extended in 1865.  The pier was completed and opened in 1862.  Despite disasters in 1913 when it was badly damaged by gales and in 1933, the South Pavilion being destroyed by fire and then during World War II, a hole was blown in it to prevent it’s use as an enemy landing stage, it has been repaired and remains a major attraction for the town.

There is much to offer the visitor. During the day attractions include the seafront and Esplanade, Pier, numerous public parks, gardens and open spaces as well as a pleasant shopping centre. There are also many places close by to visit such as historic towns, landmarks and places of interest.

For those who are more energetic, there are wonderful walks and cycle rides on the South Downs and along the coast. You can participate in or watch many sports activities with football, golf, Bowling, swimming and leisure centre facilities being well catered for. Of particular note is Beach House Park which is the home of the outdoor bowling governing body, Bowls England and one of the world’s most famous venues. Water sports include rowing, sailing, kite and windsurfing.

At night time, as well as there being many restaurants, clubs and pubs, quality productions can be seen at the Connaught, Pavilion Theatres, Assembly Hall, films at the Connaught Screen 2 and recently restored Dome Cinemas.

A wide variety of accommodation is available for the visitor. There are many hotels and guest houses on the seafront and in the town and in addition, inns and farmhouses in the locality. Self catering options including cottages, holiday flats, chalets and static caravans are available along with caravan and camping sites.

With its safe pedestrianized streets, wide selection of high street and department stores and interesting boutiques and specialist shops, shopping in Worthing is a real pleasure. There is a regular Wednesday market in Montague Street and a Farmers Market every fourth Saturday in South Square Street. French, Continental, Italian and Gardeners Markets are held throughout the year.

So after reading this brief introduction, why not come and see for yourself all that Worthing has to offer the tourist / visitor?

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!
