Candles and Water Pistols

Two (or more players, if you dare) are given a lighted candle (secured to a plate) and a loaded water pistol. The winner is the last to still have a lighted candle. Players are not allowed to deliberately use their bodies, or anything else to shield their candle.

Mummies

Split the patry goers into teams of three and give each team a toilet roll. Two persons then wrap the third in the toilet roll so that they look like an Egyptian Mummy. The winning team is the one who in a set time (say 2 minutes) have the neatest and most covered Mummy.

Fashion Designer

This is like "Mummies" but instead of having toilet paper and having to wrap the 'victim' to look like a mummy, you give each team part of a (not ready pasted) wall-paper roll, and 12 safety pins and they have to make an 'outfit', in say 5 minutes. If you wish, you may specify "A dress", "Jacket and trousers", etc. (The paper may be pinned on the person's normal clothes, rather than having to make the 'outfit' and then they have to put it on.)

The Photographer

An equal number of boys and girls are taken out of the room, andn the one couple are brought back as to be posed for a 'really romantic' wedding photograph, so bring in a boy from outside to arrange them in the pose of his choice. When he has finished, he is told that he must now take the place of the boy in the pose! (If you have a camera, now is the time to use it.) Now it is the turn of the next girl to come in and arrange the couple, and so the game go on until everyong is back in.

Honey, if you love me smile

Have all players except for one sit in a circle facing each other. The one who is not in the circle faces a player of the opposite sex and requests "Honey, if you love me smile." Aside from tickling, the player may do anything to make the person smile. After a while the chosen partner must reply "Honey, I love you but I just can't smile" without smiling.

If the player chosen partner smiles while saying this, then they must give their place, and it becomes their turn to choose a partner.

Scavenger Hunt

This is very popular among large groups of teenagers. Make a list of 30-35 everyday items (ie.toilet paper roll, red piece of string, rubberband, chewed piece of gum,etc.) and sent two teams on a mission to find these items on thier list. They have one hour to find these and the winning team is the one that is back first with EVERYTHING ON THEIR LIST!!!

Doughnuts and Toothpicks

Everyone stands in a line with toothpicks in there mouth the first person puts a ring doughnut on the toothpick then they have to pass it on to the other players toothpick without making it fall. If it falls on your turn the person before you wins.

A variation is to make several teams each stand in line and the doughnut is passed from the front to the back. When it gets to the back, the person has to run / walk / stroll to the front and start again. If it falls, it has to be passed to the front person and start again down the line. The winning team is the first to have had everyone start at the front.

Whistling Crackers

You give every child 3 soda crackers. When you say "GO" every child puts all the crackers at once in his/her mouth. The first one to whistle wins. (You can also substitute the soda crackers with peanut butter but make sure there are no Allergies).

Can You Guess

Put several small items into a brown paper bag. Blindfold one person and hand them one of the items in the bag. Give them a few seconds to guess what the item is. If they are unsuccessful they are out. The last one wins.

Ducky Ducky

Everyone sits in a circle except one who is given a pillow and blind-fold. They then go and place the pillow on a persons lap, sit on it and say ducky ducky. The person should say"quack quack" this can be done only 3 times. If the blind person guesses the name the person, they should now be given the blind fold and the game run over again - after everyone has changed their places.

The compression process is unique because it removes parts of the sound that are outside the hearing range of most people, thus allowing a smaller sized file without audio degradation.

Another good thing about the MP3 is its widespread popularity on the Internet. Most peer-to-peer file sharing networks such as Napster for example would not have been able to function without the smaller size of the MP3 file.

Thanks to its popularity, MP3 files can be played not only on the Windows operating system but the Mac’s as well. This is the key reason why you should use the MP3 file format for your websites, info products etc.

Okay so you have audio files in other formats, now how do you get those audio files converted to MP3? This is an issue where many people are inexperienced with and end up buying $50 dollar programs to solve the problem.

Good news, if you know where to look you won’t have to buy a program to convert your audio files to MP3. You basically have two different options to take here, let me explain.

There are hundreds of different free shareware programs available that will convert any type of audio file you have to the MP3 format. Keep in mind oftentimes the quality of an MP3 file depends on the encoder/converter used to make the MP3 file.

Just be aware, some of the older software programs don’t convert as well as the newer programs. You may want to try different converter software if you’re not able to achieve the quality you desire.

OK, so far we've been looking exclusively at using RSS feeds to distribute our content to other places on the internet, building backlinks, updating our sites on the fly, and gaining exposure for the stuff that we've already created. Now it's time to take it a step farther.

In this section, we're going to use RSS to dominate our niche, and we're going to do that by using RSS as if we were readers rather than as if we were marketers. Are you ready for this?

What a reader does with RSS is to copy and paste the feeds from their chosen websites into a centralized program (called an Aggregator) that reads these feeds and monitors their content. When a new piece of content is posted to a feed, it can then be displayed to the end user as a link, and they can visit it if they determine this content is useful to them.

We're going to set up an aggregator in this section. Not just any aggregator, though. We want one that will give us very useful information about our niches and help us beat the competition.

The first step in any successful business venture is planning, whether you are online or not. Planning is simply putting down on paper a road map that leads you from point A to Z. Sometimes in our hurry with excitement to establish and run our own business, we forget or omit certain steps. Those missing steps can sometimes lead to disaster and worse than that, your hard-earned money sent straight down the drain. It has happened to me so I have personal experience with this one too and it’s not fun at all.

So my question to you is would you take a trip to a location 12 hours away that you had never been before without a road map? No, because there is a high probability that you’d get lost. And once you are lost you’d have to find someone to give you directions to where you want to go. But wait a minute, you didn’t write down your destination. So when you finally find someone that can help, you can’t give him the specifics of exactly where you want to go. All you have is an ‘idea’ of the direction and the location.

You couldn’t point out your destination if you were looking dead at it. You don’t even know what your destination looks like. You can’t recognize it because you didn’t make a map to show you the way. I mean you may be able to pinpoint a location close to the ballpark but that’s not good enough. Your map guides you along the way and helps you to recognize your exact destination when you get there.

This same theory applies to your online business. You have to know where you are presently in order to get to your final destination. All successful people and businesses also have this one thing in common…they all had a plan. They didn’t take a walk down the yellow brick road with visions of grandeur that success would easily become their friend; they knew better than that. They made out a deliberate plan to ensure their success, and you must do the same.

You should make it a habit to follow the lead of people who have reached where you want to go, and not the people standing beside you and behind you giving you advice. You know the people I’m talking about. It’s your neighbor, co-worker or family member whispering in your ear that the idea you have to start your own business is gonna fail, and that you should just work your job and forget about that ‘stuff’. And if you mention that not only do you want to start your own business, but it is in internet marketing; they are really going to try and stomp your dreams out like they are putting out a forest fire.

They are going to have many jokes and negative comments so prepare yourself for it. Because of this, I didn’t tell anyone about starting my internet business. I knew I had a business to build and I really didn’t want the distraction and the constant injection of poison (negative comments) from the peanut gallery. It always amazes me that the people always telling you that you can’t do something are the one’s that never tried to do anything themselves. I believe it’s because they don’t understand ‘business’, and let alone this business and equate our activity on the computer as “playing” and nothing to do with money.

Yes, it is given that you are a do-it-yourselfer, but even when you do your home improvement by yourself, you don’t have to do it BY yourself. Note that some jobs may take two or more days to be accomplished. Thus, asking for some help, maybe from your family or friends, will make your project safe and proper. Just schedule somebody you know to assist you even before you encounter these jobs.

Another reason to support this piece of advice is that most home improvements involve a range of different tasks. Each task oftentimes requires knowledge and skills, from design and construction to wiring, plumbing, and finish work. As what most of the experts often suggest, the overall remodeling project might go far more smoothly if you hire a pro for certain job parts. For example, when remodeling your beloved kitchen, chances are you might want to install the flooring and cabinets yourself but bring in plumber for installing new piping.

The bottom line is, just be realistic about your skills. Never try to take on work that you won’t be able to accomplish or may end up looking unprofessional. Simply avoid intricate work or work that requires a high degree of craftsmanship, unless you’re competent enough at the job.

If you do cry for a professional help, it is always critically important to make sure that they are qualified and reliable. Of course, there are some ways to find pros, and perhaps the best way to find good help is through personal recommendations. Otherwise, you can find qualified, pre-screened plumbers, electricians, contractors and similar professionals on the web through a certain online service.

Chapter 7 - Step 6: Learn How To Use The Phone With Success

93% of all communication is done with your voice tone and body language. If you ring up a woman asking for a date and you sound like mickey mouse and are all nervous, you've blown it straight away, no questions asked.

Again, the idea of using the phone is to get the date, not to have a general chit chat. Most guys have this habit of speaking for ages on the phone and not getting to the point.

Before you ring, think about what you are going to say, how you are going to say it and what you are going to say if she throws a curve ball at you.

Go into the phone call with a plan, think about what you are going to say and you will be fine. Too many people fear confrontation, just ask for the date and if she says no, she says no, just move on. If you don't get a returned call you should probably move on, happy that you didn't waste another moment with a rude jerk.

If, on the other hand you're the adventurous type, you can try this. Call the person up, but don't leave messages on their answering machine or voice mail. Wait for the person to answer.

Just so you know, phones these days usually tell people who has called, hungup, when and how many times, so please dont ring 50 times a day, because more then likely they will know you were doing it and it looks a bit stalkerish.

If after you called a few times over a few days and no one picks up, leave a short, funny message about not being able to get a hold of her and she can ring you back.
