'Tis the Season for Electronics: Gifts for Everyone's Budget

The holiday season is upon us, which can only mean one thing: electronics are at the top of everyone's wish list. Even if you can't snag a new PlayStation 3 or nintendo Wii, there are still many electronics gifts that will delight your recipients. Here are just a few:

cell Phones: cell phone technology continues to improve, as do the features available on cell phones. A new cell phone, complete with a high-res camera, video functionality, and wireless adaptability, is certain to be a welcome gift. If that's beyond your budget, opt for any of the number of cool cell phone accessories that are available.

iPods: An Apple iPod makes the perfect gift for anyone who enjoys music or television, even if they're not tech-savvy. Not only can they download tunes, but increasingly, they can download television episodes that they may have missed. Again, if you can't afford an iPod, there are any number of accessories - from earbuds to "socks" that are adorable and affordable.

Home Theaters: This year, why not indulge the whole family with a home theater? Flat screen TVs have come so far down in price that they're more than worth the splurge. While you're at it, get a collection of DVDs that every family member can enjoy!

car Audio and video: Entertainment has most definitely moved out of the home and into transportation. High-quality car audio and video equipment make wonderful gifts for family members on the go. Everyone can enjoy the high-quality sound that great car audio produces, while the kids in the family will be entertained on road trips with car dvd players.

Computers: For many people, computers aren't a convenience - they're a necessity. Everyone from adults who bring work home with them to students who have to research school papers (and book some time on one or more of the social networking sites!) will treasure a new computer. Again, prices on electronics have come down so much that either a notebook computer or a desktop PC is affordable.

Games: If you're not able to nab one of the new gaming systems, don't worry about it. There are still great games that are made for the Sony PlayStation 2, the nintendo GameCube, and the microsoft xbox and xbox 360. Final Fantasy XII, guitar hero II, Okami, LEGO Star Wars II, madden NFL 07, and Viva Pinata, are all highly rated games for a variety of interests and age levels.

The bottom line is that, whatever the gift-giving occasion, you can't go wrong with a gift of personal electronics. Your best bet is to find an online source that has deeply discounted electronics, continually adds new items to their inventory, and provides you with the perfect online shopping experience.

Putt the Ball in the Hole

The strokes you take on the green during your golf game wind up being about 40 percent of your score. Wild, isn't it? We spend $500 on drivers to gain 10 yards and give it all away in just one or two three-putts and/or missed four-footers. As a corollary, we could use a 1970's laminated driver with some knock-off, found-in-the-garage irons and score the same as our most technologically advanced pals if we just shaved a few strokes off our putting game.

I know, "Drive for show, putt for dough." is what the guys that can't hit the bomb are always saying. I know that the guy that pounds it farthest is "The Man". OK. I have been playing for over forty years and am on average one the longest hitters in the groups I hang with. That being said, my best rounds (and most Nassau wins) have been when I reign in the big swing and drain some putts.

Over the last twenty-five years my handicap has remained fairly constant around twelve to thirteen. That has been in the face of declining frequency of play and plowing through the fifty year-old barrier. How? Putting!

putting is simply a combination of three key ingredients:

  1. Mind
  2. Reading
  3. Execution

In this article I address the mind. No smoke, no mirrors, just how you mentally approach your putting.

Some years ago, I was reading some self-improvement books and came upon one that was something like "Learn While You Sleep". I just tried to find it by goggling and couldn't locate the exact book. That is not important. What is important is not the techniques taught in the book, but the concept that I came away with and have held ever since. The book was about letting your subconscious train your conscience during sleep, but I found that I could convince myself of certain things while fully conscious. This is the old "talk yourself into it" concept.

Years after I read this book and while putting on a practice green, I drained a few 20 footers. I stepped back and realized that before I had made those putts, I expected that they were going to fall. The hole was huge, the ball was a bee-bee and my putter was a target rifle. Without realizing it, I had convinced myself of future success.

If you believe you will make the putt, you will have a great chance of making that putt. If you can't find that comfort, step back and gain the confidence. If you can't get it during that round, fine, get on the practice green later and gain it. If I did this with my garage-sale putter, lack of confidence, and intermittent jeering of pals, you easily can do it.

As positive as this article is, I hate to bring in the negative. I do so only to remind you of what you have felt so many times. "I can't make this putt but I hope to get it close enough so that I have a gimmee." "It's down hill with a good bit of break; hope I can two-putt it."

Horse manure! You own the green! Three-putt? That is what your opponents do. You are a putting machine. Your putts eat the holes up. Now go out there and prove yourself correct. Stayed tuned for the next two articles on reading greens and then the technique to swat that beebee in the bushel basket.

Mini Tummy Tuck - What Kind Of Procedure Is It?

The correct term for tummy tuck is abdomioplasty. This procedure will remove any extra skin and fat from your midsection and will tighten the muscles of your abdominals while they are in there. The results you can expect from a tummy tuck are a tummy that will be flatter, smoother and tighter. When you have a mini tummy tuck, you will be ready to show off the results to the world.

A mini tummy tuck is for those who want to flatten the area of their lower abdominals. It is also recommended that if you within 10 percent of your ideal weight for your body type, this is a less invasive procedure and the mini tummy tuck can be done on an out patient basis. For those who choose the full tummy tuck, it will involve an incision that goes around your navel and across the lower part of your abdomen.

When you choose to have a mini tummy tuck, your belly button will be left intact and you will need a smaller incision. Many times liposuction is performed while you are undergoing a mini tummy tuck. It is the best time to get the maximum benefits from both a mini tummy tuck and liposuction.

If you weigh more than 20% of your ideal weight, you will be more likely to be a candidate for a full tummy tuck procedure. If you plan to loose a lot of weight, or intend to have more children, any procedure whether a mini tummy tuck, or a full on tummy tuck should be postponed.

There isnt a woman who has given birth that wouldnt give their left arm up to have a mini tummy tuck. After you give birth to several children, the body your husband fell in love with stayed in the hospital with the first placenta. It is not always enough to exercise and eat right. Sometimes you need a little boost and a mini tummy tuck may be just the boost you need.

So get out there and start asking your friends who you suspect have had a little work done. It always is a good idea to see the finished product on many others before you put your faith in a cosmetic surgeon.
