08/12 Grand National after the Royal Wedding

In 2005, the Grand National had a regal touch after it took place hours after the wedding between the Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles on Friday 8 April at Windsor. Bookies were unsure about the effect the wedding would have on the grand national. Experts said there would be a frenzy of bets on specific names of horses and the turnover would definitely top the 200 million pound mark for the day. It is said that Prince Charles gave Camilla Parker Bowles a racecourse as a wedding present. Any horse with the name ‘Royal’ in it was certain to be a special horse.

08/11 Exercises to jump higher

If you have hit a plateau in your vertical jump and you just can’t seem to break through and take it to the next level no matter how much you practice (or if you simply want to avoid having this happen), you may need to learn some new exercises to jump higher. First of all, work out all your muscles not just your legs! You need your whole body to be in top condition. Second, try jumping for a target. Once you reach it, aim higher. Third, don’t over do it! Training too hard can actually decrease your vertical jump height.

08/03 Dad’s Bike

I remember my Dad riding his bike to come see me from 20 or 30 miles. He was always riding his bike, it was a racer, he wanted to be in a bike race. He wore funny shoes and a backpack filled with water that he could drink. I tried to fill my backpack with water but all I did was ruin a book and my homework. He rode a Shimano Bike, it was beautiful. I loved to see him ride up. He was so fast. I used to ride my bike with him but I couldn’t ever keep up with him.

Tip #1

Whether you enjoy waking up before dawn, or sleeping in at sea, there’s a fishing boat that’s right for you. There are generally two types of people who enjoy fishing boats–hard-core fishers and casual vacation only fishing.

Tip #2

Peerless fly reels are some of the most timeless, tested and reliable fly reels on the market.  Peerless fly reels continue the traditional look and feel of the classic reels from the golden era of fly fishing that have provided anglers with endless hauls of fish for decades.

Tip #3

People who don’t like the perils and perceived sense of danger that comes with deep sea marlin fishing might well enjoy the ease and delight of striped bass fishing. Certainly the rush of landing a giant blue fin tuna or even a man-eating Mako is something extraordinary, but an ice-chest full of big sole stripers is pretty nice as well. It’s simply a matter of personal preference.

Tip #4

07/19 Sports Blooper Clips

One of my favorite shows can really get me laughing and allowing me to feel my best during and afterward.  This is a show that shows sports blooper clips.   They can really get you laughing if you  like or dislike sports they can really allow you see a lot of funny stuff more related to human error than anything else.  How ridiculous we can look if we aren’t careful and sometimes even if we very careful, we can still goof up and make someone else’s day even if we’d prefer not to be let the world see us in that way.

07/07 Should You Try Pilates?

If you are burned out by your normal, dull exercise routine and want a way to tone, shape, and increase the flexibility of your body, give Pilates a try. Pilates moves can vary from quite easy for beginners to very advanced, so you do not have to worry about Pilates moves being too difficult, or too easy. You can easily adjust the difficulty of your own personal program as you progress. Best of all, Pilates really does not require any expensive equipment, and if you are a good independent learner, you can learn many of the techniques without instruction by reading a book or website.

 

07/03 All in one supplements all over the bed

I wondered who was using what as there seems to be a lot of new all in one supplements hitting the market at the minute. The simplicity appeals to my lifestyle as to be honest I can not really be bothered mixing different drinks all day long! I have been using cyclone for ages now but I absolutely despise the taste, it is disgusting. I think the quality of the product is good however and I have noticed a marked improvement in my recovery and muscle tone. I think I will try the new all in one supplements from Sci-MX next as it appears to be better value for money.

06/14 What is appropriate?

What is it appropriate to do when golf charities request gifts? I don’t really have a lot of money, but I don’t want to offend anyone either, or look like a cheapskate. What is an appropriate gift to offer? And do I have to give a gift at all? I have a membership at the golf club, but I really can’t afford to spend a lot more money on golf. However, there seem to be a lot of charity events at the club, and sometimes I feel I have to do something or else get a bad reputation. Does anyone have any advice on this?

05/15 The Perfect Getaway: Bird Hunting Trips

While backyard barbecues and a night out at the baseball stadium are good ways to relax on the weekend after a long work week, sometimes it just isn’t enough to get everything that is bogging you down out of your head. When it comes to this, the best thing to do is pack up the truck and grab a couple of friends and head out to the countryside. Set up camp and another in a long line of bird hunting trips has begun. It is a challenging sport that allows you to spend quality time with friends all while immersed in the outdoors in an environment wholly not urban.   

 

05/08 Children’s Fencing

I recently read a little bit about clubs and organizations that teach children to fence. I have absolutely nothing against the sport, and I would not be opposed to the idea in most circumstances but I think that there definitely needs to be an element of control that is also taught along with the techniques. I understand that most instructors probably provide such lessons, but I feel that the lesson will not really hit home, literally, unless the parents are the ones to enforce it. I think it is always great when children take to any sport, but fencing comes with the need for a little extra parental involvement.

04/30 The 4 Points Of The Golf Swing

When it comes to improving your golf swing, you can look at all the golf swing tips online and books & magazines but nothing will improve your game more than getting out on the golf course and playing a game of golf. Just master the 4 basic points of the golf swing and use them effectively. They are, #1 The pivot movement should be improved. #2 Swing the body round before the arms stop moving. #3 Break the wrists back on the downswing and #4 Improve your waggle at the top of the golf swing which allows you to hit the ball consistantly each time.

04/20 Celebrate With A Hot Air Ballooon Ride

I was celebrating a special birthday and you know how it is. You want to do something a bit special to celebrate those significant birthdays that end in a zero. I was coming up to forty and felt there must be some special way to remember this birthday.I came up with a few ideas but nothing seemed to really grab me but then I happened to see a hot air balloon one day while I was driving along.

A hot air balloon ride would be just perfect, I thought. So, when I got home I started looking on the internet to see what I could find.I discovered that there are actually quite a lot of places where you can go for a balloon ride.

You don’t have to be incredibly fit or even a lightweight, which is handy for me. I went through and found somewhere fairly local to me and gave them a call. They sent me some details through and when they arrived I booked myself in for a ride.

Came the day and we were fortunate that the weather was suitable since weather is important and if it is too windy a hot air balloon can’t fly. I turned up at the launch site and they filled the ballooon. I couldn’t believe how big it was, it was massive.

We got in and took off.It was spectacular. Just such a wonderful experience to see familiar landmarks from a totally different perspective. If you have any interest at all in doing something really special then I recommend a balloon flight. It is just wonderful.

04/19 Putting Will Save Your Golf Game.

If you want to save yourself four to eight strokes every round of golf you must become a good putter. Your putting game is essential if you are to lower your handicap and start winning some “skin” money. Your putter can save you a lot of money. Of course, to become a good putter you must spend time with putting practice. Before each round of golf go to the putting green and get a “feel” for the greens. All greens are going to be different and that is why you need to survey the greens for speed, grain, and slope. Practice the short ones and practice to get a feel for the long putts as well.
