Located in sunny San Diego, the Belmont Park is oneof the best amusement parks in San Diego. With plenty
for the entire family, this Park has something for
everyone. With rides for the entire family and basically
everything in between, Belmont Park makes for a very
exciting adventure.
The most distinctive attraction in the Park is the Giant
Dipper Roller Coaster. The coaster was built in 1925 and
has been restored over the years. This coaster is truly
one of a kind, as it offers quick drops, steep hills,
and insane speed!
Belmont Park in San Diego also offers the endless wave,
which is perfect for wave riders. The Flowrider offers
hourly rides, even lessons for beginners. If waves
aren't your sort of thing, you may find the raceway bumper
cars or the Chaos enticing. Chaos resembles a ferris
wheel, although it creates a random three dimensional
rocking and rolling. Anytime you get on it, no two rides
are every the same!
For arcade enthusiasts, there is a family fun arcade and
gamelords. This creates the ultimate gaming experience,
keeping kids, teenagers, and even adults occupied for
hours on end.
Other rides at the park include the Vertical plunge, krazy
kars, and the infamous "plunge". The plunge is a great
attraction, and actually happens to be the largest indoor
heated pool in San Diego. Perfect for swimming, diving,
and just enjoying yourself, the plunge is a blast.
To feel the sensation, the Crazy Submarine and the
Trampoline can help you. To truly test your limits, the
Rock Wall will offer a unique challenge. Anyone wanting
to give it a try, can get to climbing the wall and see if
they truly have what it takes to get to the top.
Once you've had your fill on rides, there are plenty of
other entertainment and events to keep you occupied. In
Belmont Park, there is always something going on. With
San Diego being a tourist attraction, you can bet the
entertainment in Belmont Park is nothing short of
spectacular.
For the kids, Belmont Park offers some truly unbeatable
deals on birthday parties or private parties. If you
decide to have a party here, you can pretty much rent a
chunk of the park for yourself. For kids, this can truly
be an unforgettable memory.
Closed Monday - Thursday, Belmont Park is open Friday and
Saturday 11 AM - 10 PM and Sunday 11 AM - 8 PM. Although
the park is closed on major holidays, you can visit on
the weekends and enjoy the best in entertainment.
To round out your fun, make sure you do a little shopping
and take in some of the food. Belmont Park in San Diego
has great food and shopping, giving you more than a few
reasons to visit the park and be amazed - truly amazed.
If you are interested in blogging, consolidation, debt, and
other financial topics are sure to appear in many of the
blogs that you regularly read. Techniques to make and
manage money are some of the most popular topics for
bloggers to explore on the web, so it is little wonder that
so many bloggers turn their attention to dealing with
debt. Falling into debt is all too easy, and getting out of
debt can be very difficult for people who do not have a
lot of financial expertise. For people who have a knack
for dealing with finances, blogging about their insights
and knowledge can be a great way to literally and
figuratively share the wealth.
If you are considering getting into blogging,
consolidation, debt, savings, and investment topics can
prove to be very fruitful things to write about. Many
professional bloggers who make a living off of their
blogs spend their days writing about money. If you
know how to court advertisers and build a blog fan
base, you can make money just by talking about money.
If you are familiar with loan consolidation, negotiating
settlements with credit card companies, or any other
financial topics, consider using your knowledge to
create a successful blog. By sharing your expertise, you
may be able to help your readers get out of debt while
you reap sizable monetary rewards for your time and
knowledge.
Submitted By: Doug Firebaugh When you think about it, there are only 2 things that people are looking for in Social Media. It does not matter if you are in real estate, mortgage banking, insurance, or even in marketing of some type. People are always looking for something.
You just need to make sure that you know what those things are.
Most people in the Social Media arena are progressive thinkers and progressive people. Most are ahead of the curve in the web 2.0 world, and most have a focus of being ahead of the pack. The early adopters of Social Media, which I am one, started on the Social media scene 5 years ago. There as not much there, but what was there, was used as best as it could be used.
People then, and people now, are still the same. They always will be. But in the Social media arena, they are looking for 2 things that will help them.
Help them feel better about whom they are. Help them feel better about what they do. And help them feel better about where their life is going. All people are in some way looking for that forward focus. That is why in the social scene, there are 2 things people seem to be seeking more than anything.
Only two.
1) CONNECTION.
Most people in Web 2.0 ville are looking for Connection. They want to connect with people, information, new ideas, new trainings, new events, new groups, new videos, but whatever they are looking for, they want to CONNECT.
Connection is part of the culture we grew up in. People in real estate understand the person want to feel emotionally connected to a house before they purchase it. People want to feel connected to a car before they decide to buy it. And people want to feel connected to something before they start building that bridge of trust with you. You must make an effort to connect in a way that they will respond to in social media.
IN Social Media Marketing, Connection is NOT Correction as so many people think. They are NOT looking to be told that their life is not any good, or is lacking. They are not looking to be told their home is too small for them. They want to Connect to something or someone that will make them feel better about themselves and where their life is headed. You do that in conversations on twitter, facebook, myspace, orkut, moli, LinkedIn, and the like.
They want to feel GOOD about a conversation with you, no matter the social network. They want to feel FOCUSED ON and Tied into a conversation that will help them feel more a part of something that can increase and enlarge their life and future.
CONNECTING with people is simply reaching out and taking their hand over the internet and letting them feel PLUGGED IN to something and someone that can help you connect to new possibilities and to new destinies.
THAT is simple and the truth. Keep the Connection authentic and real, and they will listen to what your conversation is about and start drawing closer to you and your message.
2) Elevation.
People want to feel like they are being lifted higher in their life. They want to feel like their life is going somewhere and means something. We all do. We all are looking for that special feeling that we are special, and as trite as that sounds, it is the truth.
What can you do to create that feeling that they truly believe they are walking on air?
Life them up by noticing something g they said that has helped you.
Compliment them.
Give them a kind remark about their efforts in what they are doing in Social Media.
Ask questions they might know the answer to show you appreciate their knowledge..
Send them new ideas on their passion.
Notice something about their conversation that you can totally appreciate and let them know about it.
Empower them with encouragement.
Thank them for learning something from them.
WHY?
It will make them glad they talked to you in Social Media. And they will remember you the next message, tweet, or conversation. They will move from the Awareness stage, to the Appreciation stage in Social Media.
As a realtor, you will see that they can start to trust you, and even start referring possible clients to you as people they know are moving out or into - your area.
Remember- it is NOT what you said. But how you made them feel by Connecting with them and Elevating their hope and future in the Social media Marketing arena.
Michael Douglas: 'I've a lot to be grateful for.' Photograph: Robin Holland/Corbis Outline Michael Douglas is feeling philosophical. "The timing sucks, but that's just the way it goes," he says. He is talking about the stage four throat cancer that he first revealed in August and for which he is in the middle of radio- and chemotherapy. Chatting about it, he is refreshingly unguarded.
"I've taken the kids down to the hospital and shown them the whole radiology thing so they understand it," he says. "They've watched me actually get zapped. But there's not a lot anyone can really do. Cancer is a whole world on its own. You just have to do the programme."
That programme has, he says, given him a 75-80% chance of recovery – and he looks surprisingly well; grey hair brushed back off his face, thinner than expected but energetic, with his usual charm, and engaging. "I've a lot to be grateful for – I am very blessed to have a family who couldn't be more supportive," he says.
His family, of course, includes two Hollywood heavyweights – his father, Kirk Douglas, and his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and their two children (Dylan, 10, and Carys, seven) from his second marriage to the British actor.
Douglas is 66, and having children in mid-life has had an enormous effect on him. "I'm not driven like I once was – these days I am consumed with being a father and with my responsibilities as a husband. I never anticipated starting a family at my age. I'm genuinely happy to let Catherine work, while I stay at home with the children. I cherish this time."
But, by his own admission, he hasn't always been so involved. His marriage to his first wife, Diandra, ended in 1995, and their son Cameron, 31, is serving a prison sentence for dealing cocaine and methamphetamine.
"During my first marriage, my career was the most important thing in my life," he says. "I clearly know I made mistakes. There were absences. My eldest son, Cameron, is in the middle of a very, very difficult and tragic time. Cameron has made a couple of big mistakes in his life. He's paid the price. On the other side of it, he's sober. The kids really miss him, and he misses them. I've taken them to visit. Now that my own priorities are entirely different, I'm always encouraging people to wait to have a family – get yourself sorted career-wise first as much as you can."
Douglas was born in 1944, the son of Kirk Douglas and Diana Dill, also an actor, from Bermuda. "My own parents divorced when I was six. I was raised with my brother Joel by our mother on the east coast, visiting my father in Los Angeles during holidays. When your parents are divorced, you don't know anything else, do you?
"Kirk's career was constant, overwhelming – the guy didn't stop. Back then they were doing five movies a year. My father did 90-plus films. He was Spartacus! I always admired his tenacity and stamina but he was intimidating to me as a child. Like a lot of actors, he was consumed with ambition and his career.
"He was also consumed with guilt because of the time he spent away from the family. It took him a long time to come to terms with it. Some people don't get over it. We all get on well now. There are not a lot of sons or daughters of actors who have made it. Hollywood is awash with failures.
"I was really blessed that my mother remarried a great, great guy [William Darrid]. Step-parents never get enough credit. You know, it's always the wicked stepmother or stepfather but the truth is, there are so many more step-parents who have assumed the responsibility of raising kids that are not theirs and I was really lucky."
Darrid died in 1992 but left Douglas with a lot to be thankful for: "He was my surrogate father from when I was 12 up until adulthood. Kirk would be the first one to acknowledge that. He was a great listener, which is a tough thing to find, and I got to watch a lovely marriage – so it reaffirmed and reassured me that marriages can work."
He and Zeta-Jones married in 2000 and celebrate their 10th anniversary in November, but he didn't expect to find such a meaningful relationship: "Catherine was a tremendous surprise in my life. After my divorce from Diandra, I was puttering along quite well as a single guy and couldn't believe how honest you could be with ladies as long as you didn't date two of them in the same town at the same time.
"Then I got struck down. I was just bowled over by Catherine. The first time I saw her I was watching The Mask of Zorro. I just sat forward and said, 'Who is that?' We met for the first time later that year at a film festival. I was smitten with her, no doubt. I wasn't quite the son-in-law her parents had envisioned! I do like to wind up Catherine's father and call him Pops."
Douglas didn't start out with the intention of going into the family business of acting. He was intent on creating his own identity away from his famous father. "I thought I could never be the actor Dad was, so I avoided it for a while. I just spent time being a hippy. Then I got cast in the TV series The Streets of San Francisco, which became a big hit in 1972."
Even after making it as a television actor, he didn't rush into film. Initially, he made his name as a producer after Kirk gave him the rights to the novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The subsequent film won an Oscar in 1975, but gradually, with movies such as The China Syndrome and Romancing the Stone in the late 70s and early 80s, he became more of a presence on the big screen. Then came two major hits. "Wall Street and Fatal Attraction marked the turning point in my career. Winning the Oscar for Wall Street was meaningful for me as a second-generation kid, born with a silver spoon in his mouth. It really meant a lot. My father always jokes with me. A few years ago, he said: 'You know, Michael, if I'd known you were going to be so successful I'd have been much nicer to you.'"
"I should probably go to a therapist to find out why I love to play awful characters in impossible situations like Gordon Gekko or Ben Kalman in Solitary Man."
Solitary Man is his latest film, following on immediately after his return as Gekko in the Wall Street sequel, Money Never Sleeps. But he has had to ease back on the workload because of his illness. He laughs: "Not surprisingly my itinerary is not that busy at the moment. But, generally, I really don't do a lot of films unless the project is important to me – like A Solitary Man, a little film of which I'm so proud but which, unfortunately, because it's an independent, will hardly see the light of day."
In the film he plays a middle-aged man who has an affair with a woman 40 years his junior – it's hard not to draw comparisons with his marriage to Zeta-Jones. He pauses and gives a wry smile: "The age difference – I'm 66 and Catherine is 41 – has been irrelevant to us. I'm more aware that I'm going to be 75 when my son's 18 years old and my daughter's 16. The kids are 10 and seven now and they demand that you stay fit.
The couple have moved to New York after spending the last 10 years living in Bermuda. "The kids recently started new schools, which means having to make new friends. I like to get them up in the morning and get them ready for school. I make them breakfast, and we talk about their day. I like to know who their friends are. I can see the tightness of the bond we feel and the security they have. It is tremendous, unequivocal love with no judgment, and that is the best feeling in the world.
"Neither of us is overwhelmed with worry about which school or college they are going to be going to. We just want them to be good citizens of the planet. They're not spoiled or obnoxious. They're well-mannered, confident, pretty worldly. My son deals with dyslexia to a degree – it runs in the family and my brother has it. He goes to a special school. We're old-fashioned parents, they've got British nannies and we get nice compliments from people. Our children make us proud.
"The year before last was Catherine's 40th, my 65th [the couple share a birthday on 25 September]. In these tough economic times everybody was a little cautious but we don't throw that many parties, so we said, what the hell. We took over the rooftop of the St Regis Hotel in New York and decked it out. We had great food, 150 people and an awesome rock'n'roll band. We invited everybody, the police commissioner, Welsh relatives, New Yorkers, people in their 70s, people in their 20s, everyone danced. If you have a party where everybody knows each other it gets a little la-di-dah. This was a disparate bunch of people at the party who didn't really know each other. My stepmother, Anne, was there – she's close to 90 – and she said: 'Michael, I've been to a lot of parties, but that was the best I've ever been to.'"
Every summer, they take the children to see Zeta-Jones's parents in Wales. "We'll go briefly and see all the 'rellies', maybe there's a charity event back home that we'll do. Then the kids stay on and we get a chance to take off. It's one of those rare times – the kids are safe, our nanny gets a chance for a holiday – real Welsh normality! The grandparents have a very nice house up there, but they do normal stuff in Mumbles and it gives us a chance to do something romantic.
"Once we're through this [cancer], Catherine and I are talking about taking the kids out of school for a year and travelling around the world – Phuket and Vietnam; we'd love to take the family down to New Zealand and spend some time in South Africa. We're still trying to figure out what age you can get away with taking the kids away from their friends and not have them hate you for it.
"From now on I'm going to spend all my efforts on the people I'm closest to. When you're younger you are so self-involved, self-obsessed. As you get older, all of a sudden, you begin to appreciate relationships, be understanding about the foibles of life, more forgiving – and you've got more time for the kids. It makes for a much happier marriage and family environment."
inventor, a bitter anticapitalist, and a salesman of cork-lined bottle caps. It was 1895, and despite ideas, energy, and wealthy parents, he had little to show for his work. He blamed the evils of market competition. Indeed, the previous year he had published a book, The Human Drift, which argued that all industry should be taken over by a single corporation owned by the public and that millions of Americans should live in a giant city called Metropolis powered by Niagara Falls. His boss at the bottle cap company, meanwhile, had just one piece of advice: Invent something people use and throw away.
One day, while he was shaving with a straight razor that was so worn it could no longer be sharpened, the idea came to him. What if the blade could be made of a thin metal strip? Rather than spending time maintaining the blades, men could simply discard them when they became dull. A few years of metallurgy experimentation later, the disposable-blade safety razor was born. But it didn't take off immediately. In its first year, 1903, Gillette sold a total of 51 razors and 168 blades. Over the next two decades, he tried every marketing gimmick he could think of. He put his own face on the package, making him both legendary and, some people believed, fictional. He sold millions of razors to the Army at a steep discount, hoping the habits soldiers developed at war would carry over to peacetime. He sold razors in bulk to banks so they could give them away with new deposits ("shave and save" campaigns). Razors were bundled with everything from Wrigley's gum to packets of coffee, tea, spices, and marshmallows. The freebies helped to sell those products, but the tactic helped Gillette even more. By giving away the razors, which were useless by themselves, he was creating demand for disposable blades. A few billion blades later, this business model is now the foundation of entire industries: Give away the cell phone, sell the monthly plan; make the videogame console cheap and sell expensive games; install fancy coffeemakers in offices at no charge so you can sell managers expensive coffee sachets.

Thanks to Gillette, the idea that you can make money by giving something away is no longer radical. But until recently, practically everything "free" was really just the result of what economists would call a cross-subsidy: You'd get one thing free if you bought another, or you'd get a product free only if you paid for a service.
Over the past decade, however, a different sort of free has emerged. The new model is based not on cross-subsidies — the shifting of costs from one product to another — but on the fact that the cost of products themselves is falling fast. It's as if the price of steel had dropped so close to zero that King Gillette could give away both razor and blade, and make his money on something else entirely. (Shaving cream?)
You know this freaky land of free as the Web. A decade and a half into the great online experiment, the last debates over free versus pay online are ending. In 2007 The New York Times went free; this year, so will much of The Wall Street Journal. (The remaining fee-based parts, new owner Rupert Murdoch announced, will be "really special ... and, sorry to tell you, probably more expensive." This calls to mind one version of Stewart Brand's original aphorism from 1984: "Information wants to be free. Information also wants to be expensive ... That tension will not go away.")
Once a marketing gimmick, free has emerged as a full-fledged economy. Offering free music proved successful for Radiohead, Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, and a swarm of other bands on MySpace that grasped the audience-building merits of zero. The fastest-growing parts of the gaming industry are ad-supported casual games online and free-to-try massively multiplayer online games. Virtually everything Google does is free to consumers, from Gmail to Picasa to GOOG-411.
The rise of "freeconomics" is being driven by the underlying technologies that power the Web. Just as Moore's law dictates that a unit of processing power halves in price every 18 months, the price of bandwidth and storage is dropping even faster. Which is to say, the trend lines that determine the cost of doing business online all point the same way: to zero.
But tell that to the poor CIO who just shelled out six figures to buy another rack of servers. Technology sure doesn't feel free when you're buying it by the gross. Yet if you look at it from the other side of the fat pipe, the economics change. That expensive bank of hard drives (fixed costs) can serve tens of thousands of users (marginal costs). The Web is all about scale, finding ways to attract the most users for centralized resources, spreading those costs over larger and larger audiences as the technology gets more and more capable. It's not about the cost of the equipment in the racks at the data center; it's about what that equipment can do. And every year, like some sort of magic clockwork, it does more and more for less and less, bringing the marginal costs of technology in the units that we individuals consume closer to zero.
It has been shown that using project management templates to develop and document a project plan saves time and money. This is attributed to their ease of use and thoroughness of how they were prepared.
When deciding on which set of project management templates is best for your company, there are several factors you need to consider. The first one is your computer system. If you have many stand alone units, then the project management program would need to be loaded on each and every one where a user might be working. This is becoming a rarer scene, but still exists in smaller companies.
For the corporations that have a centralized server, the users will have easier access to the project management templates. With access, the project managers will be able to use all of the templates to their fullest potential if they are aware of them and know how to use them. This is where training is beneficial.
In businesses across America, there is safety training every month. This is so every employee keeps in the front of their mind that they should always use safe practices in the workplace. This same type of monthly training should be done with the available software your employees have access to. The software programs are the modern tools of the trade for business. Training on project management templates and other pieces of software would then benefit the company.
Just like with the reduction of injuries, an increased knowledge of what is available and how to use it is beneficial to the workers. By repeatedly going over how to use project management templates and other pieces of software, the employees in your company will become more proficient in their use.
Being proficient in using a tool saves time, which is money in the business world. There is nothing tricky about using the project management templates, but using them correctly is another matter. With step by step instructions on using this tool and others, your employees will be able to accomplish their tasks in less time, saving the company money.
