I Am Not A Golfing Instructor, But I Played One On The Internet by Bill Platt |
| |
|
I have a unique job, as a professional article ghostwriter,
which forces me to do research on topics that I may not
normally be interested in learning. Certainly, golf was one
of those topics I thought I would never learn about in my
life. Now that I have taken the time to learn about the
fundamentals of golf, I am glad that I did... But you will
be surprised as to why... |

Losing Weight - A Body in Motion by Larry Tobin |
| |
|
Newton tells us that a body in motion will stay in motion
unless acted upon; likewise, a body at rest will stay at
rest until acted upon. This gives us a powerful metaphor for
the difficulties of getting into a proper, healthy exercise
habit that can help shed weight and keep it off. If we can
break our old habits and get ourselves into a good, strong
routine of healthy habits, we will find they are much easier
to maintain. This applies just as much to exercise as to any
other habit we have in mind. Taking it step by step
(literally!) can make all the difference in the world. |

Learn How To Overcome Your Subconscious Mind To Improve Your Golf Game And Handicap by Winchel Blanc |
| |
|
Obviously, the goal in golf is to get the ball into the
hole, in as few strokes as possible. More important than
learning a specific technique, to enable the possibility, is
to understand the learning process in the game of golf. If
you learn to hit the ball fast and straight the first time,
then you will naturally lower your handicap. So, for those
who are truly interested in improving their golf game, one
should strive to make the first stroke hit its mark. This
article will guide you through a different way of thinking
about how to improve your golf game. |

Weight Loss - Walking off the Pounds by Larry Tobin |
| |
|
Walking is a near universal opportunity to burn a few more
calories every day, everywhere we choose to go. It is the
most basic exercise. We move muscles, and those muscles burn
calories as we go. But it's such an automatic thing to do
that we often forget the benefits that a good walking
routine can provide us. So, let's take a look at five quick
ways we can take advantage of our walking habit without
going out of our way. |

2008 NFL Season Outlook by Mark Anderson |

The 2008 NFL season is upon us and as always, there is plenty of
excitement in almost every NFL city across the country. Every fan
is hopeful about their team at the start of the season, but when
it comes down to it, the best teams will always end up at the top
of the heap. Only 12 teams can make it the playoffs out of 32, so
the odds aren't always on your side. But as the Giants showed
the world last year: once you're in the playoffs, anything can
happen and anybody can win the whole thing and go home as Super
Bowl Champion. |

It will be a tight division race, coming down to St. Louis or

win the division (the pre-season number on Arizona is 3.25 to 1
odds to win the division). The better play here is St. Louis to
win OVER 6.5 games. Our scorecasting models have the 2008 Rams
winning 9 games; a deviation of 2.5 games from the Vegas total -
which correlates to a strong betting line play. |

Fly Fishing 101: Learn Everything You Need to Know to Get Started on a Fly Fishing Adventure by Christine Beals |

Fly fishing is an ancient angling method in which artificial
flies are tied onto a hook to imitate naturally occurring food.
These artificial flies are made out of materials such as fur and
feather. Rods are generally light while the lines are heavy in
weight, providing the proper weight and momentum for casting.
Because of the ease of learning, fly fishing has become an
enjoyable past time for many people of all ages. |

Paintball Guns For Beginners by Jerry Tarrer |
| |
|
The first uses of paintball guns can be traced back to
approximately 1981 when James C. Hal invented them. At that time
paintball guns were used primarily by foresters and farmers to
mark trees and livestock. In 1985 Robert G. Shepherd came up with
the design specifically used for playing paintball games. |

A Stingray Tale by Vincent Bossley |

The head of Queen Charlotte Sounds are tidal. The tide range is
not huge, but the water being as shallow as it is, low tide
reveals a great expanse of brownness. Ringed by lush native bush
to the waterline, this little corner of Marlborough is paradise
to a small boy. |

Red Sox Offense For 2007 Season Ready To Strike by Patrick Hickey Jr. |
| |
|
Despite winning 86 games last season, Red Sox GM Theo Epstein
knew that his team needed a bigger infusion of power and speed.
As much as the fans at Fenway respected the hard-working Alex
Gonzalez and loved long-time Red Sox outfielder Trot Nixon,
Epstein knew that in order for his team to get to the next level,
they needed more. |

Chicago Cubs Pitching Staff The Key To The Success For The 2007 Season by Patrick Hickey Jr. |
| |
|
Winning only 66 games last season, not many analysts and scouts
were happy with what they saw from the Chicago Cubs last season.
While they did have a better than average offensive team in 2006,
the pitching staff was a huge question mark. However, with the
recent additions of Ted Lilly and Jason Marquis on the team's
starting rotation and Lou Piniella behind the bench, the boys at
Wrigley may in fact be the sleeper team in the NL Central. |
