Gun Digest

From June until September the narrow road which passed our house and skirted around the lake almost disappeared. Through the middle of the road long grass was hardly bothered by passing cars, and out from the bottom of the fields, under and over the barbed wire and rotting fence posts, banks of green growth fell out in excess. These wild hedges were grasses mostly, dock and nettles, the stunted trees, whitethorn, hawthorn and hazel and the bright colours of a great many wild flowers which were of no interest to me. I remember them for the many frustrated walks and cycles with my sisters, stopping every five minutes to add more flowers to their wilting handfuls. All through the summer these damp offerings were spread around the house in little vases, and cups when the vases ran out, and forgotten about so the water turned brown and slimy and the flowers rotted where they sat.

When I was quite a lot older I went to stay with a friend in Dorset, in England. Walking around the picturesque cliffs on a particularly hot summer’s day we stopped above the small town of Eype for a picnic. Looking down over the byways and fields I noticed a large number of middle aged people who appeared to stop every so often and peer into the hedgerows, as they call them there. My friend told me they were flower enthusiasts. Dorset, and the whole south coast, she said, is a haven for such people who come every spring and summer to identify the many different wild flowers. On the way back down to the town I picked a few flowers and carried them home in the tinfoil from my sandwich. At the house there was a two volume Readers Digest guide to the wild flowers of Britain and Ireland. With my six or seven flowers laid out in front of me I searched patiently through the big, glossy pages until I was satisfied I had them all named. Herb Robert, purple tufted vetch, germander speedwell, bird’s foot trefoil, harebell, dog rose. As I flicked back and forth, holding up my flowers at different angles, I found, impressed on the pages, relics of previous flower hunters, desiccated real life versions of the beautiful pictures which showed the flowers at their height, in vibrant colours and light.

For the next few days of my stay I walked up and down the hills collecting as many flowers as I could. The only one I couldn’t bring myself to pick was the bee orchid, a sensational purple and yellow flower out of place in the cow field I found it in, and quite rare. All these flowers went straight into the Readers Digest volumes, under a large Atlas and a solid brass ash tray, necessary weight to press the flowers thoroughly. Just as when I was ten, first learning French, repeating over and over ‘Je m’appelle Patrick’ in case I forgot, I went around in a kind of crazed mantra repeating the names of the three dozen flowers I had discovered. Cursing when I couldn’t remember the name I returned to the Readers Digest book to revise my knowledge. My friend was relieved to see the back of me, and my flowers, which I took deposited between various pages of the three novels I had brought to read but never opened.

I bought the new edition of that Readers Digest double volume as soon as I was home but not long after in a second hand book shop I picked up another double volume with an inscription on the fly leaf, ‘Mabel Francis, July 25th, 1914′. The momentousness of the date and the antiqueness of the name persuaded me to buy it. Published in 1905 it must have been one of the first books to have plates, ninety-six of them, printed in colour. That it was ‘by Ann Pratt’ struck me as interesting. My Readers Digest was not written by anyone, it was edited and compiled. But this was nothing like the Reader’s Digest. Included in the first volume was a separate and complete contents page hand-written in beautiful italic script. Some names I recognised, others not.

Names populate the two books, circulating, recurring, drawing out lyrics and stories in their wonderful clarity. Rest harrow whose tiny, crimson flowers stem from powerful roots ‘arresting the work of the plough in spring’, but whose same sweet roots gave succour to the miners; wild straw-berry collected and woven onto cords of straw to sell to traveller’s on the road; fleabane, the smoke of the yellow flowers driving away gnats and flies; St John’s Wort, burned in fires and hung in windows to mark St John’s feast day, but earlier again known plainly as Balm of the Warrior’s Wound for its healing properties; knotted fig-wort known in France as Herbe de Siege after soldiers relied on the root for survival when Cardinal Richelieu laid siege to the town of Rochelle in 1628; hedge woundwort which Gerarde once used to bound a man’s arm n Kent after he nearly severed it with a scythe, the downy hairs of which are collected by a certain type of bee to fleece its cells, leading an eighteenth century observer to write “this bee may be said to exercise the trade of a clothier.”

From the first entry, wild hyacinth, blue bell to us, the writer compels you to remember. The scene is from childhood ‘wandering in the woods in April and May, the ground strewn with blue flowers, winter is over, the turtle is heard again in the land.’ She draws from all over the British isles and Ireland the fragments of local history, of personal experience which make meaningful the many flowers, makes them resonate. No better example is her description of the scent of the Ransom, broad-leafed wild garlic: “In the Isle of man it is very abundant, and the graveyard of the church of Kirk Braddon is so full of it, that often when the Sabbath bells are chiming, its odour is borne afar upon the breeze, as the feet of those who are going up to the house of god have trodden upon it.”

I began to collect old flower books and herbals, books written at a time when it would have been unthinkable to list flowers without including their uses, powers and stories. Some are specific to a region, driven only by that clear and intense love for a countryside which fills a life and a memory, others are compilations, written by people who wanted to record stories which vary from place to place. These stories are now enveloped with my own. Bee orchids are preserved in a rough field in Dorset; sorrel always grows by a ruined castle in Cork; hawthorn blossom is only ever seen through the window of a train heading west. When a paper thin poppy floats out from the pages of a forgotten book and settles on the floor there is “some brief delight, some memory that had taken flight, some chime of fancy, wrong or right, or stray invention”. I have forgotten all those names I once learnt so religiously in the south of England. But associations and stories remain, making a spring walk something like re-visiting old friends.

Several years ago I had the opportunity to work in an assisted living community. My job involved talking to people who had nutrition problems (diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure) and to give short lectures to the residents.

The talks were always fun, because the topics were interesting (to me anyway). They included how taste changed with age, how to be active while sitting in your chair, ways to add fruits and vegetables to your daily diet. After a short lecture, we would have a Q & A. I always enjoyed this, because I never knew what was going to come at me.

One question that seemed to arise on a regular basis was “why do they always serve dessert?” Usually followed by the comment “I have gained ten pounds since I moved here!I began to feel like I was talking to college freshmen about weight gain their first year (but I understand that, with inflation, the “freshmen ten” is now 15 pounds).”

I could understand their frustration, because, after having worked in several facilities, I felt like I was on a cruise ship. Along with three meals a day, there was always some type of snack around-cookies, fruit, cake. And, along with salad, vegetables and a main course, the meals always had dessert.

You probably feel this way as well, especially when you eat at a restaurant, or at a friend’s house. You want to eat what is in front of you, and you feel as though there is no choice. Then, when you discover you have gained weight, you wonder why.

Let me tell you what I used to tell the folks at the assisted living facility-and it is this:Did someone put a gun to your head and tell you that you had to eat dessert?

I realize this is a bit harsh, to you, and to the folks I was lecturing. In fact-no one is forcing you to eat dessert. The truth is, no one is making you eat anything. My concern for the elderly is that they eat adequate amounts of food to stay healthy, and if they eat dessert, it’s their choice. Well, my friends, when you are at a restaurant, or at your friends’ house, the same hold true-it’s your choice. Maybe you are feeling guilty because you don’t want to disappoint your host by not eating dessert-but no one is forcing you to swallow the food by holding a gun to your head.

I suggest to all of you, including my former residents, pay attention to your diet, that’s all. If you know you are going to have dessert, then cut back a bit on some of the foods you eat during the day. Or try to be more active. Activity helps to increase your metabolism and to burn calories. Whatever you consider, though, do NOT skip meals the next day-that sets up a dangerous cycle of starving and overeating.

The folks at the assisted living needed a bit more advice, because dessert was offered at every meal. We did need to discuss more strategies for watching their intake during the day, especially if they weren’t active. The bottom line still holds-no one is forcing you to eat, you are responsible for what you put into your mouth. Unless, of course, someone is holding a gun to your head.

The way we write sales marketing letters, now that Web 2.0 has arrived, has changed radically. There are several articles and other resources on the web today which talks about this shift, this entire change that we’re actually seeing right now on the internet.

There is one particular report that actually goes into how the mindset has not shifted from long copy to short copy. A lot of people say well, long copy is dead. That’s not entirely true. When people are in your market and they want to buy your product, they’ll want more information about it, not less. That hasn’t changed. The one thing that we all have in common, that is pretty much the same since the beginning of time is human kind, is emotions. That will never change.

But the way people digest that information changes. What I really say in my report boils down to this. It’s not about giving people less copy, it’s just giving it in a different format. Whether it is an interactive format, whether it is more copy, but less copy in the print style and more copy in the video style, maybe more audio.

Maybe now you have testimonials rather than fully typed out testimonials, like in the old days like with web 1.0 and even before then. After that it was testimonials with the picture of the person who is giving the testimonial and their signature at the end with their link. That is because it shows more credibility and shows it is coming from an actual person.

Nowadays you’ve got video testimonials and audio testimonials. I’ve seen sales marketing letters just recently where people are giving their social media profiles. So if you wanted more information about their testimonial, or more information about the product that’s being sold, and you want to contact the person on the social network sites like Facebook, Twitter, Posturous, all these other sites like MySpace, you can.

My point is that copy has not really changed in its essence. It is there to sell, it is salesmanship in print. But that print may not necessarily be in type. It might be in the script for video or audio. It might be also over a period of time rather than all at once, like multiple videos. This is to increase anticipation or to increase the buzz or the viral marketing factor. You see a lot of this with Frank Kern and John Reese and a lot of guys. It might be also in a blog format where you attract people adding their own comments and so on.

You even have testimonials on the fly, dynamic testimonials. You might have what is called reverse opt in. Reverse opt in is something I learned from John Reese. Reverse opt in simply means, rather than giving people a bit of information, tease them, get them to opt in and squeeze them to a sales page, now it’s the complete converse.

Now you give them everything, but then you either space it out over time and you get them to opt in to get the rest and to be notified when the rest is available. Or you give them ample information, you give them a lot of information they love, and then you say, hey would you like to have more of this.

They opt in and they either get more information after that, or they get to the sales page and the sales pages themselves are no longer just about pitch. You’re seeing more and more of these sales pages becoming more of an editorial style with content, with stories, with actual tips and information that people are looking for on the sales page.

It’s all about fresh content. That content can be served up on a sales page. It doesn’t have to be a blatant sales pitch from the start. It can be information that people are looking for, either in a video or an audio or through a reverse opt in process. The point is, that’s what we’re seeing the shift in. It’s something I believe in. It’s something powerful because that shift has changed so much that when we do product launches, now we’re seeing changes in sales marketing letters.

Hobby-type bloggers and “bum” affiliate marketers prefer Google’s platform – Blogger [Blogger.com]

If you don’t take your business seriously, then use Blogger, they host your blog, but you do NOT control it! That means, one day, they might shut you down, without warning, like it happen to a few of my friends. I’m not saying this is the rule, yet the exception. But why risk your business and reputation?

Professional speakers, book authors and consultants prefer Typepad [TypePad.com] It is not a free solution but might prove beneficial if you’re a coach, author or speaker and want to stand out in the crowd.

When it comes to blogging, I prefer WordPress.org, self-hosted on DREAMHOST, my favorite webhost provider. This is the favorite blogging platform among pro bloggers, Internet marketing top guns, and super affiliates.

What you plan to use is up to you. But chose wisely.

From early America and through over half of the 20th century, tobacco was one of the most essential parts of the national economy. There are still plenty of tobacco companies out there–but the market is less powerful now because of research and cancer studies. The Surgeon General’s Warning has certainly had an effect–as the cost of tobacco products rises continually.

At first in the history of tobacco, the negative effects of smoking tobacco were virtually unknown, and therefore tobacco seemed harmless. However, by the time we reached the early 20th century, information about the health effects of tobacco began to be published in newspapers and magazines all over the world.

The history of tobacco indicates that in Germany in 1930, scientists were able to make a distinct correlation between cancer and smoking tobacco. However, in the history of tobacco on American soil, it was eight years later when Doctor Raymond Pearl, a professor at Johns Hopkins University, declared that smokers (more often than not) do not live as long as non-smokers.

In the history of tobacco in our country, even by the year 1944 the American Cancer Society claimed that no absolutely definite scientific evidence had been found that would link lung cancer or any other kind of cancer to smoking. Of course, now the history of tobacco has reached the point that we are fully aware of the dangers. We now know that there are dangerous, cancer-causing carcinogens in smoking tobacco that can end your life likely sooner than you would like to.

Nonetheless, even with this information took a long time to really absorb into the consciousness of the American public. After all, it had been so many years of unknown damages, that the people were likely to remain uninformed–because they would not have expected this news at all.

In the early 1950’s the magazine “Reader’s Digest” published an article entitled “Cancer by the Carton” which discussed individual details specifically about the dangers of smoking. Following this phenomenon, more and more publications provided informative articles similar to the one in “Reader’s Digest” and cigarette sales actually began to reduce.

By the mid 1950’s the tobacco industry began its counter-attack. The tobacco sellers and researchers conducted their own studies of the effects of cigarettes on someone’s health. This is when tobacco companies started selling additional merchandise, cigarettes with more filters and lower-tar. Because people loved to smoke so much, and because they had been brought to the illusion that there were “healthier” cigarettes available, the sales market for tobacco was up again. But the new, light cigarettes were, in truth, no healthier than regular cigarettes.

Tobacco products are virtually impossible to quit for many people. Some say that an addiction to tobacco is harder to break than an addiction to heroin. Therefore, there is still a necessary market for tobacco and tobacco products, because some people will always be people smokers. The history of tobacco may have altered our perspective and lowered the number of people who smoke, but there is not a chance that smoking will ever be eradicated completely.

Anne Clarke writes numerous articles for websites on gardening, parenting, fashion, and home decor. Her background includes consumer information, health, recreation, teaching, and gardening. For more of her articles about tobacco products please visit Smoke Shop.

Popular literature like magazines has become a lovely mode of decor information exchange. Given there is such a range of magazines, one can really get some quality information on their sometimes very personal interest, fleeting or periodical. My personal interest is in electronic engineering, so I do like to see accurate publishing and well based authority feature.

From a niche as close to our every day lives as magazines are, it is an interesting account of what magazines are the most popular. Currently, the top magazines are Reader’s Digest, Better Homes and Gardens, National Geographic, Good House Keeping, Woman’s Day, Family Circle, Ladies’ Home Journal, People Magazine, Game Informer, in that order. The top magazine or journal is Reader’s Digest, above all the other categories of popular interest a journal in the standard of, generally informative, reliable, accurate and modest fit the bill. It says genuine stability and an honest intention to educate is the most well received and holding of interest. This tells a lot about our fellow man/woman, it shows that their is a basic quality associated with the importance of education and literature.

Some magazines such as “Prevention” and “Parenting”, offer a means to pass on information that is intimate with our historical cultures and blending modern turns. It criss-crosses a means for some who don’t have the benefit of professional experience, close friends or family that can help with these essential aspects of our life.

For an international industry born out of the simple pamphlets and bills, its glamour and educational integration are a pride of a modern society. Inspire yourself or another, you’ll find a much greater range of categories than available before.

Tiger’s Pre-Shot Routine

There is a lot we can all learn by observing better players and who better to emulate than the World’s #1? I have been studying Tiger Woods since he reached the top shelf of golf in 2000. A statistical “stalker” of sorts, I would record every televised event and then use the replay to record Tiger’s SHOT BY SHOT data. My VCR has long been replaced by a DVR, but I still record every event.

During the final round of the recent PGA Championship I decided to put a stop watch to Tiger’s pre-shot routine. I had done this with Phil Mickelson during his march to victory in the final round of the 2004 Masters. I found the results and comparisons interesting.

What do I mean by Pre-Shot Routine?

There are two important parts to the process that we all go through before we hit the ball. First, we decide what shot and club to hit. Then we visualize the shot. Finally, we execute the shot. This is a gross simplification of a sophisticated process but covers the basics.

Pia Nilsson and Lynn Marriott* refer to the THINK BOX, the DECISION LINE and the PLAY BOX. The Think Box is where all the pre-shot decisions are made; the Decision Line, is the line you cross when you step forward to begin your setup; and, the Play Box is where you stop the thinking process and focus on executing the shot.

I like to think of that step forward from behind the ball as moving into an Execution Chamber. Once in this chamber, one can only execute the shot visualized in a positive manner. No second thoughts or doubts are possible. When I discussed this with Pia and Lynn, they agreed in concept but were quite amused at the decidedly negative connotation of my “Execution Chamber” label.

The part of the Pre-Shot Routine that I timed for Tiger and Phil was the last segment – the time from the moment each player stepped forward from behind the ball until contact was made.

Here is the point!

I was able to time a representative sample of tee shots, approach shots, short game shots and putts for both players. Tiger and Phil have decidedly different routines for different types of shots. Their full swing routines are quicker than their routines for putting and the short game.

Full Swing

Tiger’s full swing routine is between 9 and 11 seconds every time. Step forward, setup, two short waggles and WOOSH! For the same full shots, Phil’s routine is slightly longer – between 14 and 17 seconds.

Putting & Short game

Interestingly, both champions had slightly longer pre-shot routines on and around the greens, but both averaged 20 seconds. Tiger’s longest putting routine, 24 seconds, came on a breaking 12 foot putt for birdie on the 4th hole. This is still quick in comparison to how long Jack would loom over a must-make putt. My guess is that the slightly longer routines here are dictated by the addition of the distance or “touch” variable to the process.

What should we all take from this?

1. Develop your own pre-shot routine and divide it into the segments suggested by Pia and Lynn.

a. Think Box – Plan and visualize

b. Decision Line – You cross this when you move forward to play the shot.

c. Play Box – Just execute what you have planned.

2. Have a friend time your routine. If it exceeds 20 seconds you are not only wasting time, you are leaving too much time for doubt and confusion to creep into your Play Box.

3. Practice your routine whenever you practice. It should become an automatic part of your game and be the same every time. Relying on a solid routine is the best defense against the pressure of competition.

Each day more people search the web for color therapy home study courses. But without guidance how do you know which course is right for you? Where do you begin, and what are the pros and cons of color therapy home study courses overall?

Let’s begin, I’ll assume you’ve already decided you want to study color therapy at home, and this is about how to choose the right kind of course and delivery method for you.

*** Training Levels: Personal or Practitioner

Before we discuss delivery methods, we should consider the level of learning you want to experience. Are you seeking color therapy education for personal use? Because if you are, it increases your choices. Alternatively, if you want to train as a color therapy practitioner, the decision making process becomes more involved because you need to consider whether the course is accredited, whether you’ll get certified – and if so, by whom? Color Therapy is still a self regulated profession and not all color therapy training is created equal. More about that later…

*** Practical or Theoretical

Let’s assume you want to study color therapy at home for personal use and enjoyment. When you are reviewing a home study course, you need to consider the training offered, is it all theoretical? Will you get reading materials and be expected to simply digest the information?

A so-called ’self-paced’ home study course might work for some, but think of this: if a book of information was all it took to be smart, then why are libraries unpopular, and why do people languish with so many self-help products? Simple really, learning is a participatory activity.

A professional educator, trainer or teacher will tell you “doing” helps reinforce learning. Reading provides limited retention of the subject matter, whereas a home study course encouraging participation ensures a higher, and more satisfactory level of learning.

*** What’s a Fair Price For a Color Therapy Home Study Course?

At the time of writing there are color therapy home study courses priced for less than $100, to courses priced well over $1,000. And many courses hide their true total cost by offering segments!

Each course creator is entitled to charge whatever they consider fair, however having experienced many of the courses – both cheap and outrageously expensive, I have found the main differences are customer service, interactivity, and support.

And NO, price does not indicate the levels you can expect to receive. More money paid, does not mean more service rendered. In fact, one of the most expensive courses I ever bought simply provided me with a single CD – no printed materials, no email support, no phone support. I’d spent over a thousand dollars and I was on my own!

*** Guarantees



Remember, many color therapy home study courses are not guaranteed. Their creators will sell you the training materials “sight unseen.” Caveat Emptor – buyer beware is good advice.

Guarantees are not required by law in many countries. If you are dealing with a trustworthy business, they understand a strong guarantee is great for business. A strong guarantee speaks volumes about them, the course and finally it provides you with a level of comfort reducing any concerns you may have.

*** Delivery & Teaching Methods

Mail order is probably the oldest delivery method available for home study. Today many courses offer this option and if you are located in parts of the world where Internet access is unreliable or limited, it may be good choice. Remember though, the mail can be slow, customs are often an issue, and it’s not an interactive medium by modern email or web based standards.

Mail order can deliver course materials in a timed or sequential fashion, but the logistics are tricky. It is possible for one lesson to arrive before another. If you are simply getting the entire course materials in one batch, then out-of-order lessons is not a problem.

The best way to study color therapy at home is via an Internet training model. The web offers excellent opportunities for students, and teachers alike to interact and train in ways which until recently were not possible.

Lesson and other materials are delivered only when appropriate, students are not deluged with information, and tools like email, websites, forums and pod casting makes for a rich learning environment.

Of course, training like this is not for everyone, but for ease of use, interactivity and price – yes, a home color study course delivered via web technologies is often better value than a printed and mailed version.

*** Conclusions

Here’s a summary of the things to consider when deciding on the pros and cons of any color therapy home study course:

1. Decide if you want to learn color therapy for personal use, or whether you are planning to open your own color therapy practice.
2. Assuming personal use, decide if you are theoretical learner, or if you’d prefer hands-on practical exercises as part of your studies.
3. Don’t fall for the high-prices, the Internet affords e-publishers the opportunity to pass along cost savings to you. Remember, high prices don’t guarantee a quality learning experience.
4. Speaking of guarantees, if the course you are considering does not offer a 100% Money-Back guarantee then consider yourself warned. Choosing an education is a personal matter and you want to feel comfortable with your decision without worrying whether you can get a refund if it’s not right for you.
5. If you want the best available home study teaching features, I recommend an Internet delivered course. It affords you interactivity, and other benefits a 3-ring binder, or a mailed CD simply cannot.
6. Finally, contact the author of the course if you have doubts. And if they don’t offer support via email, special forums and other mechanisms – I’d pass.

Falling onto the back foot is a common fault in high handicap golf players. But this unstable stance causes inconsistency and much hair pulling. Here is a tip on how to stop falling back.

I found when I started playing golf that I was often falling back onto my back leg after a golf swing – especially if I had been going for a ball peeling screamer. (And you know how often those come off).

I think I was probably lifting my head looking for the golf ball or maybe I was just swinging off balance but what ever the reason I found that I was pushing and pulling that golf ball all over. But then I noticed that I tended to fall back even on a short chip into the green – probably trying to scoop up the ball.

A fellow golfer suggested I step into the golf shot. I mean – step into it – like a ball player stepping into a pitch. Not a big step but still a conscious shift of weight onto the front foot. Step before starting the downswing.

I found after awhile that I started shifting my weight onto my front foot instinctively. And that was the end of falling back.

That worked out ok for me. maybe it will workout for you if you also find yourself falling back
