What's great about Florida seminars in the Tampa Bay area? Well I'm glad you asked! For one thing, Florida is a great place to visit, especially during the cold winter months! The temperatures are near perfection, match this up with an extremely high percentage of sunny days (we are the "Sunshine State!") and great local attractions - This equals a fantastic seminar destination!

As you go about considering the timing of the buying or the selling of your home in Florida, including the Tampa real estate market, there are a number of factors that you need to consider and analyze. One of the more important factors that you need to keep in mind when it comes to the buying or selling of residential real estate in the 21st century is what is known as the housing industry. Perhaps more than anything else, the housing industry effects the price of residential real estate in markets from around the country, including the Tampa real estate market. The current housing market inventory across the country at the present time is challenging to say the least. The same holds to be very...

Those who live in the Miami area may - worried that they will be shunned from restaurants and country clubs - claim to be Dolphins fans, growing fins and living underwater in their spare time. But Miami, like any other city in a state with multiple football teams, likely has its fair share of Tampa Bay fans. Perhaps these folks once lived in Tampa Bay and moved to Miami. Perhaps they grew up watching Tampa Bay or know someone who played for them. Perhaps, they (gasp!) would just rather be a Buccaneer than a Dolphin. For you Tampa Bay fans lingering in the city of Miami, this article is one you'll likely want to pirate. Every NFL team has its fair share of history and trivia. But, the Tampa Bay...

Tampa's RHP Seth McClung notched his fifth straight start of allowing two or fewer runs, though he is only 1-1 in that stretch. The key has been keeping the ball down. "I'm not concerned with my wins and losses," McClung said. "All I can do is put my team in a position to win. Whatever happens after I leave the ballgame is out of my control." CF Joey Gathright has had trouble getting breaks on balls. Wednesday, he made a bad play trying to set up for Jermaine Dye's sacrifice fly and was unable to prevent Scott Podsednik from scoring the tying run. OF Rocco Baldelli played right field instead of his customary center field in an extended spring training game on Wednesday and the Rays will at least...

So you are considering a new garden plot. If you plan on a 25 by 50 foot garden with 3" of compost to get it started that is going to require 312.5 cubic feet or about 12 cubic yards of compost. Realizing that a third of a compost pile can be lost due to moisture and carbon dioxide loss while it is being made, about 18 yards need to be produced which means in turn a pile 3 feet by 3 feet by 54 feet. This is a lot of material and a lot of work. While there is still work involved, the material can be home grown. The simplest way of composting in this situation is to perform an old farming practice developed before the days of chemical herbicides and fertilizers, green manuring. Just as a compost pile...

This is where investors purchase a property that doesn't exist. I'm not referring to buying a make-believe property! I mean one where you're relying on a development company to build the property. How does the process work? You may have seen eye-catching brochures for the development of a fancy new luxury resort. You're invited to invest in this property and receive a discount if you do it early. You're told you can sell during construction or after project completion for a huge profit. This sounds too good to be true! Well, let's look at this from the developer's point of view. The developer has enough money to draft the plans and print enticing advertisements for his proposed development...

In the dark ages of window films consumers had to make a tough choice between two evils. Do they select a dark window film to block glare and heat, or do they have a mirror like window film installed? Either way; the Hobbesian Choice had a down side. Today's window films like VISTA Window Film created a new dynamic and resulting solution for consumers. Superior glare rejection and heat blocking while providing visible light and optimum clarity. No longer the "dark days" or what we used to call "Scotch Gloom" , but rather a perfect balance. The advances made in the last few years in the area of thin films and nanotechnology have been the vehicle for these advances in performance. Here in the Tampa...

Shirley MacLaine had some things to say about Dennis Kucinich and UFOs in her new book, Sage-ing While Age-ing. According to Ms MacLaine, Dennis Kucinich had a UFO sighting while he was visiting her home in Graham, Washington, about fifteen years ago. She writes, "And then the smell of roses drew him out to my balcony, where he looked up. He saw a gigantic, triangular craft, silent and observing him. He said it hovered, soundless, for ten minutes or so and sped away with a speed he couldn't comprehend." Kucinich was later asked if he really did see a UFO by Tim Russert of NBC News during a debate involving the 2008 Democratic presidential candidate hopefuls and replied, "I did...you have to keep in...

There is no doubting the health benefits that an extended period of time in the sun has. Now, that doesn't have to mean lying on a beach all day reading and getting sun-burnt, which would probably be many people's idea of a holiday from hell. No, in an age which has seen many more people affording exotic adventure holidays, it can be easy to forget that sometimes all a body needs is a week or two of fun in the sunshine to recover from the trials and tribulations of everyday working life. Indeed, Florida has been the classic holiday destination for years for this very reason. Now, a cynical person may say that having a nickname such as 'the Sunshine State' is just a clever marketing ploy, designed to...

Some of us may have an idea about what core training entails. Swing coaches and trainers talk about it in relation to the swing, but what actually is the core? When the question is asked, "What is the core?" The most common answer is, "Your abdominals." The core can be defined as the region of the body that incorporates the hips, abdominals, obliques, and lower back. The definition of the core indicates that it is an anatomical region of the body. The top of your chest to your hips is the easiest way to think about the core region. This part of the body includes numerous muscles in each of these defined regions. Think about all those little back muscles that your doctor speaks about when you are...

Have you gotten scared by the media reporting on the recent events in Paris? Phil almost did, but he knows better than just listening to the hubbub. Check with him what's the real story on these events, and if they really should hinder you from traveling to Paris. If you watched CNN or Fox News like I did a few evenings ago, you might have been impressed at the student demonstrations in France. Both TV channels had us sold on the idea Paris was being mobbed by the angry multitude. Pictures of Mad Max-like police trucks hosing thousands of protesters. Scenes of massive gatherings around Bastille square. Interviews of malcontent students. Some pyrotechnics to boot! Golly! Though I often travel to...

The "Matures" are the generations that came along between 1909 and 1945. Born to and tempered by economic uncertainty, older Matures were nurtured by the New Deal and served in the mightiest armed force fielded by any nation. The Matures' core values are a roll call of traditional American culture: Honor; optimism, selflessness, dedication to a higher purpose (self-sacrifice equals virtue). Having made the World safe for democracy, the men and women whom we now refer to as the "Matures" attended college on the G.I. Bill, opened businesses, raised families...and saw the Marshall Plan rebuild Europe from the ground up (many as participants!). Shared Experiences -- Seeing is Believing As a result of...
