Do This Frst --Before Heading Out on the Water!
Getting ready for some summer fun on the water?
But before you actually head out make sure you brush up on your boating safety skills first. Far too many boaters do not give much consideration to this. And not keeping safety foremost in your mind can have deadly results for you and others.
Tasking the online safety course is also mandatory now if you own and operate any type of power boat. For more information on this check such sites as www.safeboatingcourse.ca./BC or www.discoverboating.ca/Free DVD
You should also brush up on you swimming skills. Far too many persons have all the right moves and attire on the beach but when they suddenly find themselves unexpectedly in deep water they are helpless.

Time to Detox?
In this endless flood of information we are swimming in nowadays are brains can be burned out by the task of sorting through this flow of valuable useless information -- the point where we become burned out. Have you ever sought ways to recuperate from all this?
This relief is actually not far away if your turn to nature. In his feature, "Nature and the brain" in the May 2012 edition of Alive magazine, Eva Selhub, MD says: "Researchers from the United Kingdom, Japan, China and the US have connected parks, gardens, green areas, and forests with lower mortality from cancers, circulatory diseases, stroke and other causes.
Apparently living in areas surrounded by parks or other green areas can create a host of benefits such as lower stress; reduced illness; better mental health; more caring attitudes in people and memory.
So you might want to think twice before moving into that glass tower surrounded by nothing by steel, glass, and concrete -- unless it has the new style roof gardens or is not far from parks or other areas.
Taking time to meditate or walks in such areas can be critical to your health.
(For a more more detailed explanation of all this pick up the May 2012 edition of Alive magazine from a health food store or the publishers -- or check with the publishers online at www.alive.com.)

Get Eyes Behind Your Head When Driving
Yes. You can get eyes behind your head -- cameras that let you see what is behind you when backing -- or even when parked.
I first saw this idea in the Mechanics Illustrated years ago in its "Inventions Wanted? department which features innovative ideas from readers.
The idea somebody sent in was for a camera to be developed that truckers could put behind their semis to see what was behind them. And now I cameras like this are actually on the market.
Two are currently advertised by a leading Canadian auto supply dealer. One is a "digital wireless backup camera with a dash-mount 4.3inches display and the other one with a 3.5 inches display.
The miniature weather-proof camera is mounted on the rear license plate.
If these cameras give you a wide enough angle of vision they would be great for not only seeing what person is behind you when backing up but also who might be trying to sneak up from you behind.
Definitely worth checking out. Another version of this camera kit has the monitor on one side of the rear-view mirror.

Here's A New Twist to Watch Out For
You need to be careful when dealing with any potential clients by e-mail as are a clever bunch -- as in this example.
The other day I received an e-mail from a Mr/Mrs Linda Steve (sent to undisclosed recipients) offering $400.00 to clean their apartment before they moved back from Ireland.
I responded to this by asking for more information. And they responded to this by thanking me for responding so quickly and again offering me $400.00 by certified cheque or money order.
All I have to do is provide them with my full name, address and phone number.
I don't know what they are up to. Possibly they want me to start providing personal information bit by bit. Don't know. It is intriguing.
I have written back to them asking for the name of their landlord and the address of the apartment so I can let their building manager at tis end know what is going to be happening next week first.
The whole this is very strange as you would think that the moving company they say is orchestrating this move for them with would contact a professional cleaning company to handle the cleaning instead of broadcasting a requesting to "undisclosed recipients" over the internet.
Most moving companies handling this type of move for people who are out of the country would handle the entire operation -- including finding the cleaning company, supervising the cleaning, and then paying the cleaner. The mover would then add this expense to their bill.
I'll let you know how this one turns out. This offer has me more than a little curious -- and concerned. Since so many residential cleaners are women -- and many people are desperate for money nowadays is this some scheme to entice people to give out their personal address and phone number?
