Bullet Proof Crocodile and Alligator Skin?
There is a common myth about alligator and crocodile skin. Due to its strength, it is believed by some that crocodile and alligators are impervious to bullets due to their thick, bone-like scales and ultra-tough thick skin. First, let's talk about why this myth is so popular. Keep in mind that almost the entire body of a gator or crocodile is pure muscle under a thick, tough layer of rigid skin meant to keep them safe in their harsh environment. This thick skin is likely one of the reasons that crocodilians are one of the oldest types of animals alive on Earth today. They are natural predators with few to challenge them in - or near - water. Quick, agile, and very strong, when submerged they can...
Rare Copywriting Bullet Point Secret All But...
One of the most powerful bullet point tactics I ever learned was from a master copywriter (who has controls with many of the biggest mailing houses in the world) named David Deutsch. And what he said was, when you are writing bullets for books and information products you should structure them in a way where you are very specific about the problem...but purposely vague with the solution. He actually compared it to baiting a hook. Where you bait the hook 9/10 of the way, with that small little piece of information (without which renders the secret you are writing about impossible to understand) purposely left off. For example: Let's say you are writing an ad for a book about how to train dogs. And...
The body armor and the bullet proof vest- go...
When we hear the word body armor, the first image that comes in our mind is the clanking metal that was used in the battlefields during the ancient times. Today the body armor industry is on a rise and being propagated by teams of highly qualified experts who come up with a variety of body armors and bullet proof vests with the help of the sewing machine. The reason for this is that the modern day’s body armors and self-defense clothing are made up of the highly resistant fabric which can ensure a life protecting shield against the bullets fired from firearms, short range guns, sharp weapons like the knife and the arrow and the explosives like the hand grenades. The body armors manufactured these...
1. Bullets and phrases: When I conduct public speaking training, I always remind my audience to keep their PowerPoint slides easy to read. Pretend you're on the interstate where someone could read the information driving 55 miles per hour. Bullets work best as they are easier to read than sentences. Also, you are less likely to read the slides this way. The biggest rule with PowerPoint slides is to keep them big, bold, and simple. Your slides should resemble a billboard. No more than 6 bullets per slide and 6 to 8 words per line. Stick to three colors per PowerPoint slide, otherwise your audience will start focusing more on color and less on your content. 2. Font choices: Often, people come up to me...

Article Marketing - Using Bullet Points and...
Readers don't like to read long paragraphs. Readers hate articles that are just one long paragraph. Why? Because in order to get information out of that article, they have to read the whole thing. Writing articles in one long paragraphs will not only make your readers angry, but your article will not do very good in it's market. It's true. Adding bullet points and paragraphs are the best ways to write an article. This way, viewers can just skip through certain parts of your article and read the major parts. The faster you can give your reader information, the more of a chance that you'll have of them actually clicking on your URL link. So here are some reasons why bullet points and paragraphs will...

When designing a Direct Mail program for your health club these following features MUST be included: 1. PRIMARY OFFER Your primary offer is what will be seen first and foremost when your potential customer pulls your direct mailer out of their mailbox.

3 Effective Strategies To Get More Prospects To...
ond step to the 7 secrets of advertising is to get more prospects to read your ad till the end. After all, if we don't get to fully inform our reader how can we expect them to make a buying decision. And fully informed means, reading your ad rightto the very end. Here are 3 effective strategies to help you achieve this. 1. Break up your copy Remember your prospect is looking for a reason to turn the page or click off to another site so it's not just what you say but how you present it. Use short paragraphs and sentences. And break up your copy with Subheadings. Subheads make it visually more appealing for the reader so they are more likely to start and continue reading if it looks easy. Just be sure...
Tell the story without you; If your PowerPoint presentation can stand on its own, it's a white paper or a handout NOT a visual aid. Your slides (or any other visual) should help you tell your story, and preferably in a way that words alone cannot. Ideally it should illustrate a concept that you are talking about. Think kindergarten; think Show and Tell. Your PowerPoint presentation is the "show" part. YOU are the "tell" er. Require "Super" vision: Nothing is nuttier than a presenter introducing a slide with the words, "You can't really see this, but..." You're kidding, right? If I can't see it WHY am I looking at it? Your slides must be able to be seen from anywhere in the room. This means a type no...

Basics of Writing a Winning Sales Letter
You can write a great sales letter. Sure, you may have to learn some new skills. But keep in mind, the great copywriters of today weren't born writing great sales letters. They started right where you may be--having never written a sales letter. Or maybe you've written a few sales letters, but they have disappointed you. Take heart. In this article, I will show you step by step what you need to put in your sales letters to give them the structure and persuasiveness you may desire. Every sales letter has a basic structure. Now, each sales letter may insert these basics in different orders or using a different method, but generally all sales letters will include these basics: Headline: Every...
When Great Copywriting Can Actually Kill Your...
One of the most-quoted copywriting phrases in the world is, "sometimes people will buy your products because of just one bullet." And that's true. People really will read an ad that's 5, 10, 15 pages or more...but whip out their wallet simply because of a bullet point buried somewhere on page 8. However, there is also another side of the bullets story where bullet points can actually hurt your sales. Let me give you a "real life" example. A few years back I wrote an ad that was long (one of my copywriter friends even said, "What is this the Declaration of Independence!"), copy intensive and had something like 60 or 70 bullet points. I was dang proud of that ad. And when I finished it, I sat back...
ashington Wizards have already won one NBA Finals, as the Washington Bullets. Although the name has changed, the team plays to win another NBA Championship trophy for the city. What is in a name? Today's Washington Wizards have played as the Chicago Packers, the Chicago Zephyrs, the Baltimore Bullets, the Capital Bullets, and the Washington Bullets. Interestingly, however, the team's name change did not include a change in the city that it represented. Today's Washington Wizards are the same team as the Washington Bullets. In 1996, the owner of the Washington Bullets, Abe Polan, chose to change the name of the NBA's Washington team. That was due to the increasing number of homicides in the city...
When you are writing a sales letter, one of the important things is the body of the sales letter, and of course this often contains some bullet points. These bullet points are designed to make the case for the purchaser to buy your product. So what will these bullets in the body of your sales letter do? These bullets will be key points about your product. For example, if you are selling a product geared towards grade school teachers, or towards any classroom teacher, your bullets might be: Learn to manage your classroom with no effort - guaranteed! Discover the keys to teaching vocabulary at any level, no matter the student How to teach math so that students learn the fastest and best What every...
The Internet has impacted all of the arts, but no sector has been hit quite as hard as the music industry. With CD sales fading and radio play shrinking, recording artists are finding less opportunities to get their music heard. To survive, many musicians are becoming brands in the service of brands. The industry is in such a free fall that advertising avenues are filling the shoes that music labels once did. During most of rock's history melding music in the service of a product was anathema. But this is a very different world; in the past musicians and record labels could make a good living off of selling records and CDs. An artist didn't have to sell his or her music to an advertiser or TV show...

With the Beatles Album Review
With The Beatles may be the least known and least talked about of all Beatles albums (if it's not Beatles For Sale.) It was their second album released, after Please Please Me, so it doesn't have the distinction of being their first album. It also doesn't have the distinction of being their first truly formed great album (which was their 3rd album A Hard Day's Night.) But that's not to say it's not a good album, it does contain some great Beatles classic. It was ranked #420 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the greatest 500 albums of all time released in 2003. The album was released in the UK in 1963 but was not officially released in the United States until 1987 as the early Beatles albums in the...

Anderson v. Commonwealth, 279 Va. 85; 688 S.E.2d 605 January 15, 2010 Anderson was indicted for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon in violation of Code § 18.2-308.2. While a police officer was chasing him, he threw a silverish, grayish object, hitting a tree and landing about five or six feet away. Thereafter, as the officer was handcuffing Anderson, the officer saw that the object was a revolver and asked Andeerson if it was loaded. He answered yes. After discovering that Anderson was a convicted felon, the officer arrested defendant and advised him of his Miranda rights. Anderson subsequently filed a motion to suppress the statements he made about the gun. At the...

I'm a huge Beatles fan and I've written many articles about how great The Beatles are. I've written articles about their greatest albums (The White Album, Revolver, Abbey Road, Sgt Pepper, etc) but today I've decided to do something a little bit different. What about The Beatles worst albums! I've decided to only consider their official UK studio albums to make it more tough (otherwise I might choose some awful compilation made by the record company at some point or another.) #1 Yellow Submarine The Yellow Submarine album only included six actual Beatles songs (the rest was rather boring instrumentals created by their producer George Martin.) And two of those songs ("Yellow Submarine" and "All You...
The Beatles Remastered CD Stereo Box Set -...
Less Than Stellar Mastering On 1987 CDs The main reason that Beatles fans have been asking for remastered versions of The Beatles albums on CD for over 20 years is that it's a widely held belief that the mastering done for the original release of Beatles albums on CD (in 1987) was not good. Over the course of the past 22 years this has never been rectified, until now when new remasters of all of The Beatles albums have been made. 9/9/9 On September 9th, all of The Beatles newly remastered albums are being released on CD both individually and as part of a stereo CD box set. There's also a mono box set being released, but that's beyond the scope of this article. The Stereo CD Box Set All 13 of The...
Paul McCartney's Seven Best Beatle Ballads
Paul McCartney wasn't (and isn't) just a balladeer. He's written all kinds of different types of songs ("Helter Skelter" for an obvious example) and he's a brilliant bassist and song arranger. But there's a reason he's so well known for his ballads. He was (and still is) an incredibly gifted composer of ballads. These are his seven greatest ballads with The Beatles in alphabetical order. "And I Love Her" - This song from 1964's A Hard Day's Night foreshadowed the rest of the songs on this list. "Blackbird" - Ah, The White Album. The best album ever. I still remember the first time I ever heard this song. I was listening to The White Album for the first time and when I got to "Blackbird" I actually...
Many airsoft guns are ones that come in different types of designs. Many of them are ones that are very similar to that of some popular firearms including the revolver, Desert Eagle and Luger designs. Revolver designs are very popular for these guns. A revolver design is one that features a cylinder with numerous chambers that can fit one piece of ammunition in each chamber. This is an especially popular design for spring airsoft guns and is used by many who enjoy a good challenge with one's airsoft gun. Glock style guns are also popular. These are guns that have designs that are similar to that of what is used for firearms for police and military members. The lighter polymers used to build one of...
The Beatles Rubber Soul - Original Mono &...
Rubber Soul - A Groundbreaking Album People often point to Sgt. Pepper or Revolver as groundbreaking albums (and for good reason) but they were not the beginning of The Beatles treating their albums as "art." After all it was Rubber Soul that inspired Brian Wilson to create Pet Sounds (which in turn inspired Paul McCartney to create the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band concept.) Rubber Soul was a clear step forward for the band. The songs sounded more "serious" than the majority of their previous work and there was little on the album that could be called "filler" (although "What Goes On" is pushing it.) The Mono Mix In 1965 mono was king. It was just the way people listened to music back then...
The Beatles Seven Most Experimental Songs
Sadly I've found that many people think of The Beatles only as the band that sang songs such as "She Loves You" & "Can't Buy Me Love." While these simple early tunes are great and have lasted the test of time. It's The Beatles more artistic, experimental songs that I feel are their real legacy. They are the songs that are still inspiring thinking musical artists nearly 40 years after they last recorded together. These seven songs were The Beatles at their most experimental. Not all of these songs are among their best (although some certainly are) but they are all a cherished part of The Beatles back catalog to me. #1 "What's The New Mary Jane" This song which features only John Lennon, George...
Classic Rock History - What is Classic Rock?
Classic rock - the definition defies most, and yet, everyone knows a classic rock song when they hear one. What makes it classic exactly? Well, for starters, it should be an older song. Nineties rock tunes do not qualify. Generally, 70's, maybe a few 80's and 60's can qualify for the esteemed title of "classic rock." Generally, classic rock history begins with artists that still occupy radio time today, most of whom still generate huge crowds and pack large venues. The Who, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane - all of these artists are included in the classic rock genre. But does every song ever recorded by them qualify? No. Just the ones we remember, in our...
The Top 5 Beatles Albums
The Recording Industry Association of America lists the top best-selling albums of the Beatles. Here are the top five: The White Album This album sold 18 million copies. This is the group's ninth album, officially called "The Beatles." It is better known, however, as the White Album because of the design on its sleeve (just pure white sleeve, with a plain text that says The Beatles). It was released in 1968. The White Album contains hits such as "Helter Skelter" and "Blackbird" by Paul McCartney; "Dear Prudence" and "Revolution" by John Lennon. This album is also remembered for a more collaborative song writing efforts from the band, with George Harrison penning the song "While My Guitar Gently...
American Battlefields - Battle of Little Bighorn

The clashes between the settlers of the American West and the Native Americans between 1865 and 1890 are known as the Indian Wars.

The Authenticity of Civil War Reenactments
The authenticity of Civil War reenactments is of extreme importance to many Americans who regard them as an important means, not only of participating in an enjoyable activity, but also of keeping alive the history of the period. Reenactments are carried out all over the USA by adults and children of all ages, and many, known as 'stitch counters' try to have every aspect as authentic as possible, even down to the number of stitches in the uniforms. In fact it is not restricted to the USA, though most take place in the Southern states for obvious reasons. There are Civil War groups in Canada, and even in the United Kingdom, where several reenactment groups are currently active. There are different...

Gunsmithing - An Acquired Skill
The gunsmith trade is one that has been well respected due to the skill needed and the long years of training to acquire that skill. In early America the gunsmithing trade was viewed as an indispensable vocation because their skills were necessary to the survival of the area they served. The gunsmith supplied the area with services necessary to defend themselves against their enemies. A finished weapon required close detail work on iron, wood, steel, carving designs, and engraving soft and hard metals. The skills required to perform these many tasks were acquired over many years, beginning as a young boy of 12 or 14 years of age. Gunsmithing, for the dedicated hunter or sport shooter, is usually...
Americans thrive on credit. It's estimated that each American credit card holder has three bank cards, two debit cards, and four retailer cards at any given time. That's a lot of plastic! And Americans are relying on their credit cards more heavily than ever before. If you're a cardholder in America, you might have wondered how your situation compares to the national average. How much debt does the average card holder carry? How much do they pay off each month? What is an average credit card interest rate? With some facts and figures from Citigroup Inc and the Federal Reserve, you can see just how your debt compares. You might be a typical American cardholder if... - ...you carry a balance from one...
As officer's age and gain more experience...they often find themselves in the midst of an ever changing world of technology, laws, training and equipment. I remember when I first started our we were the first real generation that did not even consider carrying a wheel gun as a duty weapon. We would look at veteran officers and their revolvers as dinosaurs that needed to change. I told myself that I would never have a problem with adapting to new things because we had the latest and greatest equipment and little would change over the course of my career. Boy was I wrong! Since my rookie year, I have seen the likes of major adaptations to the job. Now we have computers in the cars, our pistols have...
How to Choose a Boresighter
A boresighter is a device used to align the sights or scope of a hunting firearm to it's bore. It's primary use is to ensure a hunter is able to set the sights or scope so the gun prints on paper on the first shot, reducing the amount of ammunition expended during the sight-in process. This is an important consideration, especially when using today's expensive premium hunting ammunition. A secondary use is for checking the zero of a firearm while in the hunting field at any time without firing a shot. Boresighters come in two styles. The first has a collimator, which depending on the model, attaches to the muzzle of the gun with either a magnet or an arbor. The magnet-mount type can be used for all...
George Schrade was a talented machinist and toolmaker employed by the US Patent Office in the late 1800s when he invented the automatic opening, switchblade, knife. He would later, in 1904, form the Schrade Knife Company with his brothers Joe and William in Walden NY. Once his knife business was established, George went on to invent machines that would improve the companies production quality. These included the neck drawing machine, the heating machine, sharpeners, saws on center, bone jigger, bolster and automatic shielding machines. It was George's pursuit of the highest quality and craftsmanship that had his company produce some of the best knives of his time. It was George Schrade's desire to...

Deciding on an airsoft gun that is right for you will all depend on the intention of the gun. There are a number of reasons for acquiring an airsoft gun; to use it for hitting targets in order to improve eye and hand co-ordination, coaching beginners on firearm safety or to engage in a combat game. The police and military utilize airsoft guns during their training as it is safer and a cheaper alternative than using real guns. Airsoft guns are seldom exact replicas of the real thing. They also have a higher level of safety, flexibility and cost less to buy; all of which adds to their appeal for the airsoft enthusiast. There are a number of airsoft gun manufacturers. Some of the better known brands...
Almost everyone loves the cute Smart Fortwo but let's face it - not everyone will buy one. Compact and fuel-sipping it may be, having just two seats does limit its appeal in practical terms. Enter the Forfour, a five-seater 'conventional' car that shares some 60 per cent of parts with the Mitsubishi Colt. Yes, underneath the bodywork is a platform that was jointly developed by Smart and the Japanese company when the latter was still allied with DaimlerChrysler, even the engines of both cars come from a joint-venture factory in Germany. Yet you would not have guessed that the two cars have similar genes because the Forfour stays true to the styling philosophy of Smart. Like the Fortwo, a different...
2010 Fantasy Football Rookie Assessment
Every year, many rookies come into the league and, outside of RBs, very few make much of an impact. Maximum Fantasy Sports has put its collective heads together and has ranked the Top-5 fantasy football relevant rookies at the core skill positions and their projected draft round in standard 12-team fantasy football leagues. Receivers have a chance to shine in their first year, but tend to be very inconsistent and require a year or two of patience. However, many of us play in deep Keeper leagues, so we need to think about the future as well as the present. Do NOT hang your current season on a rookie QB. Even the great Peyton Manning had an average season. The pro game is much more complex and much...
Here Are Some Interesting Facts About Horses
Depending on breed, management and environment, the domestic horse today has a life expectancy of 25 to 30 years. It is uncommon, but a few horses live into their 40s, and, occasionally, beyond. The oldest verifiable record was "Old Billy," a horse that lived in the 19th century to the age of 62. The size of horses varies by breed, but can also be influenced by nutrition. The general rule for cutoff in height between what is considered a horse and a pony at maturity is 14.2 hands(h or hh) (147 cm, 58 inches) as measured at the withers. An animal 14.2h or over is usually considered a horse and one less than 14.2h is a pony. However, there are exceptions to the general rule. Some smaller horse breeds...

Eli Whitney, Jr
Early life Whitney was born in Westborough, Massachusetts, on December 8, 1765, the eldest child of Eli Whitney Sr., a prosperous farmer. His mother, Elizabeth Fay of Westborough, died when he was eleven.[citation needed] At age fourteen he operated a profitable nail manufacturing operation in his father's workshop during the Revolutionary War.

There is no question that Zenyatta is one of the great racing mares of all time … perhaps a female equivalent to the legendary Secretariat. From the start of her initial season, while still just a young and somewhat "green" filly, the amazing mare has beaten all of her competition, including colts. As a fan of thoroughbred racing, you know how difficult it is for a filly or mare to reach the wire ahead of a colt. Male horses are bigger, stronger, faster … so the female that beats a male is no ordinary race horse. She is, in every sense of the word, special, the kind of equine superstar that appears on the scene perhaps once in a generation, often, less frequently than that. Currently, the...
ports betting line, sometimes called the money line or point spread when it comes to high-scoring games, is basically the basis of a bettor's bid. This is declared by oddmakers for bettors to know who is more favored by the public. But one must remember that a sports betting line is not predicting who will win the game, it simply an estimate which team has greater odds to win for the bettors to know how much they can bet and how much they will win or lose by the end of the game. Sports betting line differs in form with every sports. For example, in football, a sports betting line looks like this: Tampa - 10; Green Bay This means that a bettor will win if Tampa wins the game with a minimum of 10...
The Eastern Gate (The Messiah's Gate)
e near future, the world will witness the most awesome event in all of human history. Jesus Christ will physically return to earth in order to exact vengeance on the enemies of God. Known as the “Commander of Heaven’s Armies,” Christ will appear in sky like lightning, and every eye will see Him. His feet will touch down on the Mount of Olives, on the very place from which He ascended, and thus fulfill a prophecy made almost 2,000 years by two angels on the Mount of Olives: “After saying this, he was taken up into a cloud while they were watching, and they could no longer see him. As they strained to see him rising into heaven, two white-robed men suddenly stood among them...

I have always marveled how easy something appears when we operate from the point where competence and comfort are in harmony. What will take three minutes of your time to read, reflect thoughts taking shape over many hours. Like starting a colt, writing can put me outside my comfort zone, so I take a deep breath, clear my thoughts and see what happens. Details that hold us back are far more about our internal editor than others perception. In learning how the pieces make up the parts I am seeing how to learn, share and grow .... with grace. Can you identify an action that triggered a personal learning? A moment that provided a different perspective? I introduced Rhys a couple of months ago, a three...

If you have ever tried working with an unruly, frightened, green 2-year old colt, it should be easy to understand the importance of imprinting and training a foal at an early age. When you start to gentle and desensitize an older horse with little or no prior experience with humans, the simplest things become difficult and at times even dangerous. Haltering a big, 2-year old youngster or even a yearling for the first time is a major production compared to haltering a young foal.

I sit back enjoying a bowl of something cold, sweet tasting, that truly melts in my mouth, tantalizing taste of vanilla, chocolate and the sweet sensation of a cherry, all in one spoonful. Such a simple treat on a Sunday evening, spoon upon spoonful enjoying a Sundae.

Back in the day, many drugstores often had a Soda Fountain that served soda & ice...
