Swimming With Dolphins at Discovery Cove

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

Ever since I can remember, my love affair with dolphins has always been a restless force inside of me. As a child I was besotted with the intelligence and charm of “Flipper” in the TV series of the same name. And so, many years later, as an adult, having the opportunity to interact with these creatures one on one was indeed a dream come true.

Quite rightly, dolphins are vigorously protected by many laws which makes
swimming with them in the wild an illegal activity. However, thanks to their
conservation and education programmes throughout the world, Sea World has been
granted special approval by USA government to give visitors to it’s parks a once in a
lifetime opportunity to play with dolphins “up close and personal”.

One of the very best of these facilities is Discovery Cove, Florida. Discovery Cove is a
sister park to Sea World, and they are in fact located just across the road from one
another. However, Discovery Cove is an theme park like no other.

With daily admittance numbers strictly monitored, you will have to book well in
advance, because your day at Discovery Cove is an adventure from beginning to
end.

Once inside the park, you will be awed by the sheer scale and beauty of your
surroundings.

Following a brief orientation, and a complimentary photograph, you are supplied
with wet suits, snorkels and masks. Once kitted out, the day is yours to do with as
you please.

You can swim with sting rays and other tropical fish, glide safely alongside real
sharks, feed the exotic birds housed in a stunning free flight aviary, or simply relax
and enjoy the Florida sunshine on pristine sandy beaches.

A tasty lunch is also included in your admission fee, and there is a great selection to
choose from, including vegetarian options.

But without doubt, the highlight of your day will be the dolphin swim itself. For me,
after dreaming of this event for so many years, I was almost breathless with
anticipation, and I am delighted to report that I was not disappointed in any way.

My time spent, swimming and playing with my designated dolphin, named “Star”
was the most magical experience of my life. I was truly amazed at the connection we
had, and once you have looked close into a dolphin’s eyes and witnessed for
yourself the intelligence, unique personality and endless sense of fun, your life will
never be the same again.

Almost moved to tears by the sheer wonder of the experience, I have been drawn
back to relive the experience on subsequent trips to Florida, and each time has been
even more magical.

Although Discovery Cove is not suited to everyone’s pocket, if you want a truly life
changing experience, I cannot recommend this adventure enough.

Your Guide To Web Site Submission To Increase Traffic

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

Beginner and experienced home based business owners have the
unenviable task of submitting their web sites to thousands of
search engines and classified ad sites.

The purpose is always - and has ever been - to increase web site
traffic. As you know, more site visitors means more sales.

The purpose of this article is first, to provide a no-nonsense
guide to web site owners and webmasters on the best web sites to
submit your ads and URLs, for free. Second, my aim is to give a
fair warning to all and sundry to be very careful about buying
web site and ad submission services and software.

As for the first, there are noteworthy web sites to where you
can submit your free classified ads and URLs. The problem is
locating these web sites. As you know, there are thousands of
web sites to submit to, but just submitting to a few sites will
spell a difference on your profit position.

You can find these sites through the age-old practice of
research. I have done some research of my own, and some of these
sites are featured on my web site. These sites are listed below.
More are being added regularly. If you are interested, the link
on the resource box below will lead you to my classified page.

As for the scam submission services, I’ll say the Latin words
for alerting you as potential buyer of lemon submission
services: “Caveat Emptor,” or let the buyer beware.

If you want, I can even tell you of one of these services, now
continuously promoting their software this early days of 2006.
Just write to me using the email address listed on my web site
found at the resource box below.

I’m sad to say because one of the web pages of the late Corey
Rudl, whom I esteemed highly, was used to advertise this lemon
service at one time in late 2005. I’ll be happy to have snatched
you from parting away your forty or so dollars from this
ineffective program.

I’ll also tell you of one software - which appears to be working
good as this point in time. As of now, this program is being
sold at about $50 on the Net.

If you are resourceful enough, you can find this same software
on eBay at a much lower price. I’ll give you the source of this
same software sold at $10 on eBay if you send me an email.

Lastly, below is a listing of web sites where you can post your
classified ads for free. This listing is updated regularly on my
web site’ classified page.

1second.com/1america.htm - 1 free ad and one category per
advertiser every 10 days.

When using a breathalyzer, nebulizer or any type of breathing apparatus, you may experience a cold effect in the bronchial region. This is due to the actual proper and/or increase of use of the bronchial system. The mucous will decrease as you increase the use of the breathing apparatus.

To relieve mucous, use the steam bath method. Drape a towel over your head and leaning over steam. Breathe as deeply as you can. Spit out any accumulated mucous. You may want to consider treating yourself to a Mucousless Diet for about a week. You will know when the time is right for it.

To help flush out and dry up the mucous make a Saline Solution. This solution is excellent for any type of ailment where mucous is present.

Using a large stainless steel or glass bowl, add approximately one heaping Tablespoon of Salt to half gallon warm Water. Mix until dissolved. Put the bowel to the side of the sink and hang your head over. Plug one nostril with one hand and cup a large amount of water in the palm of the other. Sniff the Saline Solution up the nose. Do the other nostril the same way. Repeat. This will flush out the mucous through the nose and out the mouth. Sound gross? Fine, suffer then. Dont knock it until you try it.

Drinking copious quantities of water will flush the system. Eat Parsley. Yep, the fresher the better. It is a breath freshener and aids the kidneys when flushing the system.

Eat Licorice. Black or Red makes no difference. Licorice has a -calming the nerves- affect, helps lower Cholesterol and is non-fattening.

Your success in Quitting Smoking using this Herbal Combination will show its Benefits immediately with long term results.
