Newly Improved GMTUNERSOURCE.com Now Live Exciting Revamped Site for GM Racing Sport-Compact/Drifting News and Information
DETROIT, March 23, 2007 - The newly improved version of gmtunersource.com is now live and ready to use. This enhanced site, which boasts an exciting revamped look, will serve as the source for the most current news, photos, race results and information about GM Racing's sport-compact and drifting efforts.
"Visitors will still be able to find driver bios, engine specs and build-books, and GM accessory parts info, but the website will have the added bonus of frequently updated blog content," explained Carmen Smith, GM Racing program manager, sport-compact drag racing/drifting. "This will allow us to always post the most recent information, provide answers to technical questions, and give updates on interesting events. There will be a lot more for customers who visit our site."
Regular visitors will notice a host of new features including an area that allows users to interact and share comments and information about their tuning experience.
In addition to the new features, many characteristics from the old site will remain including driver profiles and photos, events schedules, accessories pages, build books, and a host of other items in a format that is easier to navigate.
"I'll be on there quite a bit, with race event updates and new technical information," explained Smith. "We'll have our race drivers and engineers blog from time to time. We'll also see updates from the GM Tuner Tour, which travels to cool sport-compact events (like Hot Import Nights and NOPI Nationals), and we'll get updates from Performance Parts and the vehicle marketing teams whenever they want to tell you about a new accessory, feature, event, or vehicle. Basically, if someone at GM has something interesting to tell our sport-compact customers, we'll post it."

Gang Hooks Simply Catch More Fish

by : Trevor Kugler

For those of you who have never heard of the term "gang-hooks", it's probably time for you to take a closer look. A set of gang hooks is fairly simple to tie yourself, or you can buy them, the choice is yours. What's important is that you begin using them for all of your live bait fishing. A set of gang hooks is, by far, the most natural way to present a worm.
Gang hooks are simply two small hooks tied in tandem. Hooks that are probably much smaller than you may be accustomed to. I personally prefer size 10 hooks. My preference is 2 size 10 hooks tied on four pound test. And I catch BIG fish with a setup that's this size. I consistently catch Smallmouth Bass up and Rainbow Trout up to five or six pounds on gang hooks setups exactly that size.
The only downfall to a gang hook setup is that some state regulations don't allow them. So check your state regulations before fishing with gang hooks. I know from experience that in Montana and Pennsylvania gang hooks are perfectly legal. Check your local regulations before using them though, just to be safe.
So how do you get a hold of gang hooks? There are two ways. First you can do a little research on knots, and tie them yourself. His is obviously the most inexpensive way. Research the "Snell knot". The other way to get a hold of gang hooks is to just buy them. Go somewhere like JRWfishing and you'll be good to go. My theory has always been, that you can make a hamburger yourself to save money or you can just go to McDonald's and pick one up. The choice is yours.
The bottom line is that if you begin employing gang hooks into your live bait fishing, you'll simply catch more fish. The natural presentation that gang hooks provide can't be beat. The days of the "worm ball" and threading a worm onto a hook are gone the moment you begin using gang hooks. With gang hooks, you simply hook the head on the worm into the top hook, the hook the second hook into the worms' body. Now your worm is rigged and looks exactly like it would if there were no hooks at all. It's a beautiful thing. Give gang hooks a shot, I promise that you won't be disappointed.

Gun Holsters - Gift Ideas for Men

by : E Lawrence Welch

Gun holsters - one of man's best friends. Believe it or not - men who are into guns love to receive gun holsters for gifts. Actually, we prefer to get new guns and gun holsters but buying a new gun for someone might cost more money than you are planning to spend.
Gifts are challenging - particularly when your man has pretty much everything he needs, wants and desires - saving those things you obviously aren't going to buy him anyway (i.e. new bass boat, new truck, etc.). Sometimes people are reluctant to purchase gun holsters as gifts - simply because they're afraid they might purchase the wrong size holster. Most online holster stores will work with you to help you find the correct holster size. Generally, all you need to do is send them an email - stating the name, model and barrel length of the handgun for which you wish to purchase a new holster. With this information - the operator of the holster store will be able to suggest a number of holsters which will fit the handgun. Generally, holsters are priced anywhere from $25 and up so you can find a gun holster gift to fit your budget.
Also, you might want to observe what type of holster he uses already or what type he might want. Most men like a shoulder holster or double shoulder holster. Also, a nice side/hip holster is usually a winner. If it's a holster for concealed carry - you might desire a belly holster or waistband holster. Regardless of what type of holster you wish to purchase for him - a good holster store will help you find the right holster gift. All you need to do is send them an email with the correct information and they'll do the rest. Additionally, most good gun holster shops offer a return policy in case he doesn't like the holster or in the rare event the holster is the incorrect size. Once again, it's hard to go wrong when you purchase a man a gun holster for a gift.

Bocce Ball Hobby

by : Peter Jay

Well, I haven't played bocce ball in a while, but it is a fun hobby. I wish I had a bocce ball set so that I could play again. The first time I ever played was on a group date with a married couple. They kept talking about this game that they always play from Italy, called bocce ball. That was before it really caught on in the United States. Now it seems like many people know about.
Bocce ball is a game where you just toss the bocce balls against another ball. First, you throw the first ball. There are two teams. One team then throws a bocce ball and tries to get their bocce ball to land as close as possible to the target ball, the first ball that was thrown. The other team then tries to get their ball closer to the target ball. It is kind of like the winter sport of curling. The person or team who gets their bocce ball closest to the target ball wins. The points are then allocated by how many bocce balls the winning team has closer to the target ball, then the team that didn't have a bocce ball closest to the target ball.
The nice thing about bocce ball is that you can play it wherever and whenever you want. It's a simple game with simple rules, but it's somewhat addicting and you can play for hours, and you can play often without getting bored with it. It's also nice because once you get yourself a bocce ball set you can go play as often as you want for free. Just take the family to the park or even to the backyard, or invite a date over or to the park and play a game of bocce ball.
One thing I like to do when I play bocce ball is to play on different and various terrains. It adds a whole new level of bocce ball playing experience to play on different terrains. Usually people play in the park on the grass in an open field. When playing at the park, sometimes it is fun to have an obstacle in the way. Once we played where we through the target ball over the backstop of a baseball field and had to throw our bocce balls over it as well, to get close to the target ball. Another time, at the park we threw the ball under a pine tree or over or behind, or among some pine trees. It makes a little more fun to try different things.
You could also try playing bocce ball in the mountains. You could play on a rocky terrain where your bocce balls could bounce away when they hit the rocks. You can play by water if you like; you can play by a pond or stream, as many golfers do at golf courses. You can play on a sloped up or down hill where you have to compensate for the ball rolling down the hill.
Bocce ball has really caught on in some parts of the United States. It seems like many people know about it now. More and more people are realizing how fun it is and starting their bocce ball hobbies. It's nice as well, because bocce ball is kind of a laid back, slow game, that is still fun, but you can still talk about things, kind of like golf. You can talk and joke around while still playing the game and entertaining yourselves.
There is some strategy to playing bocce ball. It makes a difference who goes first and last. Do you want to hit the target ball? Do you want to hit the other teams bocce ball with yours when you throw, to hit their ball further away from the target ball, at the same time risking that your ball may not be as close because of it. Some people can even get pretty competitive playing bocce ball. Bocce ball games can get pretty intense sometimes.
So, if you want to start a good hobby that you can do often for entertainment, then go and get yourself some bocce ball sets . You can even play by yourself if you want. Just throw the target ball, and then start tossing the bocce balls at it, although it is probably much more fun to play with other people.

Soccer Balls and Stuff

by : Peter Jay

There are a million things you can do with soccer balls. You can kick them. You can play catch with them. You can hit them back and forth across the floor with a baby. You can dribble them with your knees. You can bounce soccer balls off your head. You can play dodge ball with them. You can play with your soccer balls in a pool. Or, you can play soccer with your soccer balls. Whatever your interests, you can find something to do with a soccer ball.
The nice thing about soccer balls is that you don't need anything else to have fun with them. Sure, if you are going to play soccer, then you might want some soccer goals , or a soccer field to play on, but you can usually find a park that has some or you can make some yourself. Most of the time however, you don't need any other equipment to find things to do with just your soccer ball.
You can kick soccer balls around for hours at a time and not get bored with it. You can practice different kinds of kicks and soccer tricks, and show them off to your friends. You can kick the soccer ball back and forth with a friend. You can kick your soccer ball around in a park, a field, a farm, up in the mountains, on rocks, anywhere you are, you can probably kick a soccer ball around for entertainment.
One nice thing about a soccer ball, is that you can play games where you compete with yourself. You can test yourself to see how many times you can kick the soccer ball into the air without it hitting the ground, similar to hackey sack. You can do it by yourself or with friends. You can bounce it on your head for as long as you can. You can dribble it off your feet and your knees, your shoulders and your head. Once you've done it, you can keep trying to improve and do better. Keep trying to increase the number of times you can kick it, knee it, or hit it with your head without letting the soccer ball touch the ground. It's nice because it also helps you develop your soccer skills, as well as just being something fun to do. You learn to have better ball control and when you are playing a game you can control the ball better as you are dribbling down the field or passing to your teammates. It will help you to dribble past your opponents better. When you are in a game, you also may be more likely to do a cool move or score a cool goal by hitting it off your head into the goal.
Another nice thing that you can do with a soccer ball is practice cool soccer tricks, like jump kicking it in the air. You can do a straight jump kick or a side jump kick. Or you can do one of those kicks where you jump backwards onto your back and kick the ball while you are in the air, before you hit the ground. One of my favorite tricks, that makes people think that I am good soccer player, even though I am not, is to roll the ball up the back of your leg with your other foot, and then kick the ball with your heel, from the leg the ball rolled up, so that it goes flying forward over your head. My goal is to one day score a goal by doing that trick where I kick it with my heel forward over my head, and then using my head to hit the ball in to the goal and score. Once I've done that, my purpose will be fulfilled.
Anyway, a soccer hobby has proven the test of time and space. Whatever country in the world you are in, you will find people playing soccer. It is the most popular sport in the world, and it doesn't look like it is losing momentum. In fact, soccer is catching on more in the United States, where it is the less popular than in other countries. So start your soccer hobby today and get yourself a soccer ball, and start kicking it around.

How To Make Money From Soccer

by : Alan McLean

The world of soccer is a great niche to tap into to make money. There are a few ways to do it, and I'd like to cover 3 of them, including the technique I personally use.
I love soccer for 2 reasons. Firstly it's good fun! I love playing (I'm not that fast these days I might add!) and love watching.
Secondly I love soccer because it provides an online market which is more than willing to spend money, and in order to grab some of that money, you simply need to offer the market what it wants.
The personalization of soccer shirts may be most obvious, but someone who pays for that will pay for all sorts of other stuff to be personalized. Did you know that 'personalized soccer shirts' as a phrase is searched for online a huge amount of times each and every month?
This is highly targeted traffic, because when someone types that phrase into a search engine, we know what they are after - personalized soccer shirts! We don't need to guess what they want.
So, how can we profit from this market?
Firstly we can be an affiliate for a company that offers the product. The advantages are that we don't need any stock, we don't need a website, we just drive traffic to the site, and earn a commission from any sales generated, those commissions can add up very quickly.
The only downside with this method is that you are competing with all the other affiliates - great for the company, not so good for all the affiliates!
The second method is to set up our own operation to provide personalized soccer shirts and other gear. The obvious advantage is that we get to keep all the profit, but the equally obvious disadvantage is that we have to pay out lots in advance, for the stock, website creation, traffic generation, etc, etc. That's why I wouldn't use that method.
The third method is the one I use. You don't need a website or up-front expense - in fact it can be run and maintained at zero cost.
It's providing information. Information is easy to produce and distribute with today's technology. People ready to pay for personalization of soccer gear will absolutely be interested in information which tells them how to get the cost covered for free!
How about information which tells them how to earn a lot of money from the world of soccer, so they can buy as much personalization as they'd ever want! It really is a simple way to make money online, and once the work is set up, it continues to work on autopilot!
It works for me, and there is absolutely no reason why it shouldn't be working for you today, so hopefully I've excited you about how you can make money from the world of soccer.

Get Paid for Watching Sports on TV

by : Alan McLean

Most sports fans think it would be great to be a sports commentator or writer- you get to travel round the world watching all the great events live, and then get paid to talk or write about it! Sounds good, yes?
The problem is, that although you do indeed get to travel around the world that particular novelty soon wears off and the fact that you may been in England one day, America the next, and Brazil the next would soon become a big pain, living out of a suitcase, with no time to relax or settle.
And yes, although you do indeed get to see all those events in person, you can't kick back and enjoy them, because you have all those deadlines to meet, and not only that, the quality of your work is always under pressure.
And let's not forget that in order to get to the top of those big ladders, you have had to spend years fighting your way up the ladder. Anyone can start being a sports commentator or writer, and the competition is always snapping at your heels waiting to take your place.
So although the idea sounds very nice, I choose not to follow those careers, preferring instead to relax, watching any sport I want live in the comfort of my own home, maybe with a nice drink of in hand!
How do I do this? I provide information to sports fans, that's how. With the advance of the internet, it's possible to create and distribute information quickly and cheaply, for free in fact, so that's what I do - I provide sports fans with information about how they can do the same as I do, earn enough money from sport to enjoy it at their leisure, earn enough money to match the earnings of all but the elite commentators and writers, to earn enough money to overtake the day job.
So, if you enjoy watching sport as much as I do, you can enjoy it even more by profiting from it like I do!
