Disposable Cell Phones at Your Disposal
If you haven't watched Ultraviolet yet, the techie film which has displayed oh-so-many nerdy gadgets, you have missed how cool disposable cell phones are, that is if you're not using one yet.Connectivity options have become so varied you don't know what to use anymore. Aside from laptops, one of the most favored mode of communication now is through cell phones. Hey, with the various innovations of these little gizmos, who won't get addicted? Aside from mobile communication, you know what's also getting so "in" today? Anything disposable!So with those two trends rolled into one comes a "disposable cell phone!"The InventorAccording to reports,Houston Texans Jerseys, a man named Randi Altschul, a New Jersey toy inventor, created a disposable cell phone.Want to know more about its major components according to Altschul's model?Parts of Altschul's Disposable Cell PhonePaper SubstrateFrom the original plan of using a synthetic polymer component,practicality has paved the way for paper as the cell phone's substrate. Recycled paper can be of greater help if you want to be environment-friendly, too, don't you think?Circuit LinesThe paper substrate gets printed with metallic inks as circuits and other parts such as conductors. The difference between an ordinary cell phone's circuits and a disposable cell phone is that a disposable one has its circuits printed over a larger surface.GraphicsThe keyboard numbers and other graphics components are printed on the substrate. Because of the paper substrate, the disposable cell phone can be made more customized to its owner's preferences by printing whatever graphics the owner wants it to have.Non-printed Parts In a separate part, the unprintable parts of the disposable cell phone such as capacitors and crystals are contained. The keypad are placed to the substrate mounted.BatteryThe battery is added after the initial production methods. It is included via slipping a battery case at the cell phone's end part of its body.However, Altschul's disposable cellphone is not the first one to market it as Hop-On Wireless of California created its own version of a disposable phone. It is said to be the size of a deck of playing cards AND even has a cool voice recognition dialing feature to boot. With a handsfree earbud and mic accessory, it sure is one hit of a phone which makes you think twice before discarding it, right? A Hop-On disposable cell phone comes with a cheap tag price of $30.Nice, right? Until reports have revealed that Hop-On admitted that it only was repackaging Nokia cell phones. So, nailed they got!Since rumors say that disposable cell phones are becoming an accomplice to crime and terrorism (150 disposable tracphone from Target) and some scams (Hop-On Wireless) were also blurted about them, but still lots of benefits come from their existence such as:- No more crying when your phone gets snatched from you.- No more complaining about how this and that brand lasts longer- You can always use your phone as your outlet for anger or just about any frustrationsSeriously, those benefits are the grandest that a disposable can provide. A low-cost, no strings attached device that you can always get rid of anytime you want.But still, it should not be the gadget that should be blamed if any mishaps or any ploy from no-souled individuals becomes successful, right? Although many believes that these disposable cell phones are giving more opportunity for any acts of insanity to be easier realized, what about the use of payphones and other devices that can also become media for terrorism and other criminal intent? This issue is still open for debate until now as many fruits of technology still are.But for those other people who see goodness in using disposable cell phones, you might want to create your own if you're geeky enough, eh?And hey, please find a way to make those disposable cell phones less helpful with persons with ill intent. Ideas, anyone?EditorBart R

many participants have embraced the sport competitively
Go Cart Racing for the Long Haul
In the world of go carting, many participants have embraced the sport competitively, which has resulted in racing events occurring across the nation at tracks made especially for go cart street racing. Amateurs and seasoned go cart drivers are attracted to the large scale go cart racing events that have become serious competitions. Endurance karting is what many of the go cart races have been dubbed because most of the popular track events consist of long distance races.Endurance karting is an event where a series of races are held at tracks around the United States, such as those in Florida, North Carolina, Nevada, New Jersey and Connecticut. The events have 90 minute, three hour, four hour, six hour and eight hour races with participants of all ages and experience levels competing. The endurance karting has a system set up to classify the racers by age, weight and experience level. In each race there are several first place prizes awarded because teams from every classification level compete in the races.This type of racing is said to be a European style. Racers and advocates of endurance karting enjoy it because it mimics the Nascar races. The set up of these long distance, time consuming go cart races is professional grade. Go cart racers have driver changes throughout the race and tedious passing and other driving skills are strategically executed by each team.Endurance karting events bring in numerous racers, but since the competitions are so long and require driver changes, teams are a must. Avid go carters or those that are members of a go carting club often bring their own team of three or four drivers. If you are new to the sport or just a lone rider, individual racers are welcome and will be appointed to a team.Street racing go carts has become a hobby of so many because it appeals to a large age range. Go cart racing seems to not discriminate in the audience it attracts. The reason behind the interest in racing go carts is different for each person as well. Some enjoy the thrill and rush of fast races, while others have a taste for the challenge of enduring a long distance competition and working with team members.There is no doubt that at events such as the endurance karting races, being a participant will introduce you to an enthusiastic population of go cart racers. Endurance karting events and races like them are successful also for the diversity within them. The events not only host endurance races,Houston Texans Jersey, they also hold special occasion events to appeal to a more precise audience.Endurance karting has go cart racing events for families to participate in together. They have also held a women's go cart racing day where experienced women drivers offered tips and lessons and all women go carters where recognized. The endurance karting challenges are for amateur, semi-pro and professional go cart drivers and each year they hold a championship series for those who follow the trail of racing events around the nation.

and where's the fun in that
How To Become An Overnight Success
Taylor Hicks, Evelyn Adams, William "Bud" Post, Eldrick Woods, Suzanne Mullins, and Joanne "Jo" Rowling all have something in common. For at least one time in each of their lives, they were an overnight success.Many Americans, at least, will recognize Taylor Hicks as a 2006 winner of the popular TV show, "American Idol". British subjects have cause to be proud of Joanne "Jo" Rowling who is more easily recognized by her pen name, J. K. Rowling. Those who still don't recognize her have almost certainly heard of the boy wizard she created who goes by the simple name of Harry Potter. Harry's a bit of an overnight success himself, and he has taken J. K. Rowling along on a magical ride. Who's Eldrick Woods,Houston Texans Jersey? Oh, if I had just said Tiger Woods, you would have picked up on it right away, and where's the fun in that?Who are Evelyn Adams, William Post, and Suzanne Mullins? We'll get to that in a moment.There are essentially two ways to become an overnight success. Taylor Hicks, J. K. Rowling, and Tiger Woods exemplify the first way.Taylor Hicks became an overnight success in the middle of 2006 when he won top spot on the "American Idol" TV show. That much many "American Idol" fans and music buffs around the world now know. What many don't know, or even think about, is that Taylor Hicks spent a decade as an independent artist before his overnight success. Had you been at the Playboy Mansion, the Talledega Motor Speedway, or in Auburn, Alabama on the right night, you might have gotten to hear him perform. Over the years, he did get to perform with such legendary names as James Brown, Tom Petty, and Jackson Browne. However, up until the night he won the "American Idol" competition, HIS name was not exactly a household item.Joanne Rowling was turned down by Oxford College in her younger days and worked variously as a researcher and secretary and also in Portugal as a teacher of English. In the early 90's, she got the initial idea for the young wizard who eventually became Harry Potter, and began writing. She completed her first novel while she was unemployed. She was living at the time on what we in America would call "welfare". When she first tried to market "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", a close friend, who was on her side, advised her to "get a day job" because he didn't feel she had a chance to make much money in children's books. The first printing run was one-thousand books and half of those were sent to libraries. Today, those first one-thousand books are each one a collector's item in itself. While this ex-secretary and English teacher must surely be pleased by the fantastic income she has made from the Harry Potter books and movies, she is possibly even more pleased by the fact that in 2006, in a poll by "The Book Magazine", J. K. Rowling was selected as "the greatest living British writer."Okay, so how did Tiger Woods get in a list of overnight successes?Well, you may have seen a small trend in the mini-biographies of Taylor Hicks and J. K. Rowling. Although they fit into the category, even a cursory scanning of their lives shows they paid their dues for some time before success found them. In fact, the overnight success they experienced came about after years of disappointment, standing on the bottom rung of the ladder, and in some cases, not even being near the ladder.Tiger Woods has been called by some a "golfing prodigy", and that is not an unrealistic assessment. However, even a Tiger Woods does not get to where he is today by strapping on a set of cleats and wandering out onto a golf course with a nine iron and a dream. He learns, practices, fails, assesses, moves forward, falls down, gets up, and starts all over again.In other words, an overnight success very seldom happens overnight. The success comes after a lot of effort on the part of the successful person.After a memorable performance, a great pianist was approached by one of the audience. The fan spoke glowingly about the performance and finished with the remark that she wished that she could play as well. Perhaps with more truth than tact, the pianist replied to the effect that she was wrong. She could NOT genuinely wish to play as well as he. Otherwise, she would practice for hours a day year after year as he did, rather than simply "wishing" she could play as well.Overnight success is so named from its apparently sudden appearance on one's doorstep. However, success is not too good at finding people unless they have built a pathway for it to follow, and perhaps lit a beacon as well.I mentioned that there are essentially two ways to become an overnight success, and I have concentrated on the first group for a reason. If you wish to join that group, YOU are the one in control of the situation. If you seriously want to be in the first group, you now have an idea of what you might need to do.So, who are Evelyn Adams, William "Bud" Post, and Suzanne Mullins? They too were overnight successes. They each won a lottery.Evelyn Adams actually was an overnight success twice. She won the New Jersey lottery in 1985 and 1986. She won a total of 5.4 million dollars. She lost it all, donating part of it to some needy Atlantic City slot machines. "Bud" Post won 16.2 million dollars in Pennsylvania but eventually wound up living on his social security. Suzanne Mullins won 4.2 million dollars in 1993. She lost all of it and went even deeper in debt through poor decisions on its use.There's another term sometimes used for an overnight success. That term is "flash in the pan". Many people who are seeking what they see as success will often wind up as just a flash in the pan at best unless they are willing to get out the necessary tools and prepare the pathway so that success can find them.Tiger Woods, J. K. Rowling, and Taylor Hicks were willing to build the pathway and keep it cleared. Their names will be familiar for years to come, and they can always claim the victor's laurel wreath for becoming an overnight success.

but that's not the most important thing to concentrate on. Time
How to Make a Good Baseball Recruiting Video
Youth of today are faced with crucial dilemmas in their attempt to establish a pathway to follow in order to secure their financial futures,Houston Texans Jerseys. They are told, and figures do justify, that College graduates earn much more over the course of their earning lives than non-college educated persons.However, the economy is reminiscent of the Titanic, Federal Grants and loans have been significantly reduced and the competition is vicious for scholarship monies.So what do you do if you're a student athlete searching for financial aid to attend college? If you're reading this you're either 1 step ahead of the game, or fooling yourself about your skills. Assuming you do have extraordinary skills in a scholarship sport, say baseball, how do you let the proper people know they just can't live without your skills?Recruiting Videos have played an ever increasing importance in the determination of whether a student gets an initial look much alone a second look from a coach. A well created recruiting video can be a great asset to both parties, the family attempting to seek exposure, and the coach trying to squeeze as much investigation and research into recruiting as possible in a very limited time span.So, what constitutes a Good Recruiting Video which stands a chance of being seriously viewed by a coach or his staff? Let's briefly review the basics.1. Our quest of course is for money, scholarship money, but that's not the most important thing to concentrate on. Time, or lack of it, is what one should focus on. Coaches are busy, their staff is busy and the student interns which assist in viewing and grading videos are busy. Think Sales!!You have to reach out and grab the attention of the viewer in as short a time, 4 - 8 minutes maximum, as possible. The video should be a collection of high light films. Don't show a time at bat where you worked the count full, then hit a home run. Show the 1 swing that produced the home run.2. Make sure your video is fully and completely labeled with all pertinent information. Remember, you're not sitting there with the coach, You're 1 of hundreds of videos received.List your name, address, phone numbers, high school name, year of graduation, identify your jersey number and uniform color, email address, GPA and SAT/ACT scores if available.You may only get I shot at this, you don't want to blow it because you forgot to list your jersey number, now the coach has no idea who he's suppose to be evaluating.3. Experts say "Don't ever send in an unsolicited video," and ideally they are correct. However, there is the "squeaky wheel gets the oil" syndrome. Send in letters of query, attempt to build a relationship with a contact at the school, but being bashful won't get the job done.Although unsolicited, if you've established enough contact with the department, they will know who sent the video and why. 1 in a 100 chance, perhaps, but better than 0 in a 100.4. Perform your Due Diligence. You'll look incredibly stupid sending in a baseball recruiting video to a school which abandoned their baseball program two years earlier.The goal is to attend college, but being accepted to a college which specializes in Business Degrees, when you're goal in life is to become a doctor, won't work.5. Be realistic. The competition is fierce, money and time is limited and for some coaches, the video is just the beginning of scouting. They prefer to physically see the player in action and perhaps that's improbable due to distance or some other reason, so the recruiting process stops before it starts.Here's something important to remember. There are 1000s of college student athletes playing on scholarships. These players are exceptional, some will become professionals in their chosen sport, but you know what...Not every school was interested in them... They were told "Thanks, but No thanks." So just because school A turns you down, don't give up. School B, C or D may recruit you.
Jim ( Coach ) Bain is a former Minor League Player and Coach of Youth Baseball for over 10 years. He has drawn from fellow successful coaches' experiences and combined them with his own extensive experience to create a Baseball Teaching Website. The site is packed with 100s of tips, drills, history and instruction on how to play and coach the game of baseball.

Assuming you do have extraordinary skills in a scholarship sport, say baseball, how do you let the proper people know they just can't live without your skills?Recruiting Videos have played an ever increasing importance in the determination of whether a student gets an initial look much alone a second look from a coach. A well created recruiting video can be a great asset to both parties, the family attempting to seek exposure, and the coach trying to squeeze as much investigation and research into recruiting as possible in a very limited time span.So, what constitutes a Good Recruiting Video which stands a chance of being seriously viewed by a coach or his staff? Let's briefly review the basics.1. Our quest of course is for money, scholarship money, but that's not the most important thing to concentrate on. Time, or lack of it, is what one should focus on. Coaches are busy, their staff is busy and the student interns which assist in viewing and grading videos are busy. Think Sales!!You have to reach out and grab the attention of the viewer in as short a time, 4 - 8 minutes maximum, as possible. The video should be a collection of high light films. Don't show a time at bat where you worked the count full, then hit a home run. Show the 1 swing that produced the home run.2. Make sure your video is fully and completely labeled with all pertinent information. Remember, you're not sitting there with the coach, You're 1 of hundreds of videos received.List your name, address, phone numbers, high school name, year of graduation, identify your jersey number and uniform color, email address, GPA and SAT/ACT scores if available.You may only get I shot at this, you don't want to blow it because you forgot to list your jersey number, now the coach has no idea who he's suppose to be evaluating.3. Experts say "Don't ever send in an unsolicited video," and ideally they are correct. However, there is the "squeaky wheel gets the oil" syndrome. Send in letters of query, attempt to build a relationship with a contact at the school, but being bashful won't get the job done.Although unsolicited, if you've established enough contact with the department, they will know who sent the video and why. 1 in a 100 chance, perhaps, but better than 0 in a 100.4. Perform your Due Diligence. You'll look incredibly stupid sending in a baseball recruiting video to a school which abandoned their baseball program two years earlier.The goal is to attend college, but being accepted to a college which specializes in Business Degrees, when you're goal in life is to become a doctor, won't work.5. Be realistic. The competition is fierce, money and time is limited and for some coaches, the video is just the beginning of scouting. They prefer to physically see the player in action and perhaps that's improbable due to distance or some other reason, so the recruiting process stops before it starts.Here's something important to remember. There are 1000s of college student athletes playing on scholarships. These players are exceptional, some will become professionals in their chosen sport, but you know what...Not every school was interested in them... They were told "Thanks, but No thanks." So just because school A turns you down, don't give up. School B, C or D may recruit you.
