Oh my God, I don’t know how Zalman Silber was allowed to make gazillions off his New York Skyride, a self-described interactive multimedia entertainment extravaganza for the entire family. The only reason this ride’s got on any claim to fame would be Kevin Bacon narrating the half-hour film, and that’s putting matters nicely. Yeah, that’s right, it’s a movie: did you think thirty dollars was going to get you a real ride? I guess the promoters figured they could call it a “ride” because people happen to sit in seats – like any other ride, they seemed to have thought.

Okay, so Zalman Silber threw in some dohickeys in the seats to make them vibrate in tune to onscreen goings-on. But it’s a movie through and through, make no mistake. And despite its famous venue, the whole thing takes place on the second floor of the Empire State Building – that’s right, the second floor! You’d think that it was a ride to the top of the world-famous skyscraper; why else would they use the words “sky” and “ride?”

Naturally, what else could you expect from an insurance salesman – a top one at that, too. Yes, make no mistake, this one is through and through about money money money. You pack in as many people as possible, rush them through a lame educational movie about New York history and the Empire State Building – and repeat day after day, just about every day of the year. Only be sure to mix in plenty of advertising and good old-fashioned ballyhooing!

Even the much touted “special access to the top” is nothing else but overhyped baloney. All it is, is that guests, for an additional fee of course, are able to use the Skyride’s own elevator up – avoiding exactly one set of lines on the main floor! That’s it! Though described in terms which make you think that you’d get a special express elevator straight to the observation deck, all you do is skip a few lines on the first floor.

On the other hand, the “attraction” isn’t a complete waste of money. After all, the locals need a job, and so as a tourist you can feel good about helping a little with their livelihoods. And it even feels warm and fuzzy to help contribute to the personal fortunes of the already rich Zalman, who like everyone else also needs money. But seriously, multimedia entertainment this is not, except for folks who have never been inside a half-way decent theater in their lives, past or present.

Okay, enough with the griping. The Skyride is solid “G” fare suitable for all ages. You get to skip a couple of lines. And you hear Kevin Bacon narrate. No big deal, but…well, it’s making money. Yes, somehow it’s making money by the fistful, so somebody’s recommending it!

As Casio Watches deliberately attract clients, it can be only normal to wonder how they’ve become so successful. Well, Casio Watches bear a proud background, which can be only organic enough for goods from this sort of a legendary organization with this kind of a line of business “firsts” to its credit. Via humble beginnings being a successful manufacturer of cigarette lighter rings (this is Japan, after all, the land of gizmos and gadgets galore) towards the world’s first at any time all-electric compact calculator in 1957, Casio wrist watches has been innovating at any time since, following up with the initial graphing calculator in historical past, the first digital camera with an LCD screen on the market, the first three megapixel digital camera in the world…and so on and so forth goes its extended list of technological achievements. And so it came to pass very naturally sufficient in 1974 that the Casiotron was born, first of numerous prosperous Casio wrist watches since, debuting just when the industry was starting to embed digital technologies in its designs.

The business may be a leader from the field at any time given that, a well-respected pioneer in a business with giants like Sony and Samsung. Casio wrist watches were the initial to offer numerous of what are regular features nowadays, having a historical past that’s a veritable “what’s what” in horological and customer electronics hallmarks. As Casio stands tall these days they also did prior to the ‘90s with their many returning and satisfied consumers using their products in formals and crucial events. Being a result Casio marketed their newer and very much more powerful items and allowed previous clients to possess a trade in for their older equipment for an upgrade.

Like their popular Databank sequence of Casio watches. Debuting in the early ’80s, extended prior to any PDA, smartphone, or other do-it-all convergence device, the Databank was a really clever and handy timepiece for storing get in touch with info and other info, with some designs even offering the day with the week in up to thirteen various languages – a actually nifty feat for your time. Then there was the “jet setter version” that kept track of diverse time globally. 1 fascinating Databank even doubled being a universal remote for residence entertainment units such as cable boxes, television sets, and VCR players! The Databank line has proved so well-liked that it is even now getting made these days, despite every one of the do-it-all convergence devices previously described. Actually, one existing bestseller may be the retro-chic model, looking just like an original Databank.

One more extremely well-known series in the Casio lineup is the G Shock that’s favored by uniformed personnel. They feature on-board altimeters, barometers, compasses, and much more – all on one watch. Of course, there is certainly also shock resistance, at the same time as water resistance. The G Shock continues to be so effective that a “Baby-G” offshoot may be created for young teens, with a lot more compact models and vibrant classy colors in addition to the same winning G Shock features of durability and all-round utility. Last but not least, no review of Casio wrist watches could be total without mentioning venerable Pathfinders for outdoor adventuring. Although sharing many features in frequent while using G Shock, the Pathfinder was expressly developed for hiking with the woods or kayaking streams and rivers.

Hey there,

Have you been seeing your doctor a little too much lately? Headaches here, chest pains there………..shortness of breath, feeling weak, dizzy, and lethargic.

A nasty virus going around?

Not likely.

Something you caught from your kids?

Probably not.

Well, what is it?

Would you believe (and you should) that it could be that you’re overweight and/or out of shape?

“No way, it can’t be!” you say……..I mean you’re supposed to drag yourself throughout the day eating chips, drinking caffeine laced beverages, and exercising your fingers on the keyboard.

“That’s how life supposed to be”………..you say, work like crazy………make as much money as possible regardless of the health risks……retire (while being overweight and out of shape) and spend a good amount of your retirement visiting your local doctor and hospital waiting for that new breakthrough surgery to suck up all that fat from your arteries. Unfortunately, this is often true of many people nowadays. How can you possibly stop this and decrease the possibility (exponentially, I might add) that you have to spend your retirement years pitching a tent at your doctor’s office.

Get moving.

Start a fitness program………..try to do a pushup (you should be able to do more than 1, by the way)………take a brisk walk around the neighborhood……..take a jog with your dog up and down the street……..try to do 10 crunches……just start something! More importantly, stick with it.

That’s all you need……..just 2 little things.

Start with something……….and stick with it.

2 simple, yet powerful actions. In fact, they’re so powerful that if you did these two little things, you would be in better shape than most people in the world!

You want to know a little secret?

Open your ears and pay attention……….

Your doctor doesn’t want to see you. In fact, they are sick of seeing you………..they would rather be playing golf….lol. But do you want to know why they have to keep long hours and spend minimal time with patients?

Because we are getting fatter and unhealthier by the day. Which equals more health problems, which equals more doctor visits, more hospital visits, more tests (very costly I might add), more x-rays, more surgeries, etc. etc. etc.

How many hundreds and thousands of dollars are you and your family spending on unnecessary health bills? Instead of chewing on a Twinkie…….chew on that thought for a while.

What would you rather have with all that extra money: a new car, a house that’s paid off, a vacation home, a boat?

Wow.

Living healthier, looking leaner, feeling younger and more energized while pocketing extra money from saved doctor bills and surgeries.

Where do you sign up?

Not at your local McDonald’s or Burger King.

Nor at your local greasy spoon restaurant.

You sign up by making a commitment to change your lifestyle. Hey, maybe that’s not what you are wanting to hear, but it’s true. You and only you, (with some help from me, of course) can make that change.

What’s the great thing about it?

So many people have tried and succeeded by doing it the right way, and you can too! It may take some time, it will take some discipline, heck, it may even take some sacrifices….but you will get so excited when you look at yourself in a mirror and see a leaner, fitter, healthier you.

Save money, save insurance company hassles……and for goodness sakes start a fitness program. I may not be able to help you have a body like Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie by next week……….but listen to me and you can at least save enough money to take everyone you know to see all of their movies………lol. Actually, with your savings on doctor’s visits……..you’ll have way more money than that.

In closing, you can choose one of two things……….

1.Making a change to commit to a healthier lifestyle, a more balanced diet, and a fitness program that will lead to greater physical fitness, mental health and wellness, endurance (use your imagination), less doctor visits (when they are practically pushing you out the door anyway), less chances for heart attacks, strokes, surgeries…………AND more money in your pocket from saving yourself from these expenses.

VERSUS

2.A diet filled with fats, lard, cholesterol, unlimited carbonated beverages, “diet” drinks (that always gets a chuckle out of me), days of feeling weak, depressed, and lethargic. Let’s not forget a greater than average number of doctor visits, greater chance for health-related surgeries, greater chance for injuries (if and when you decide to get off your butt and do something), combined with looking less attractive to yourself and your significant other (or potential significant other), WHILE wasting money on all of these things.

Quite the laundry list, huh?

I don’t know about you, but I take #1 11 times out of 10. And, if I were you, I would think long and hard about making a change to #1 too.

You can do it, I am here to help. And if you can handle even more fitness strategies for you and your family, go to www.fitnesswithchris.com and check out what I’ve got in store for you. Have a great day!
