tropical Storm Rita is looking for some warmer water and moving towards the gulf of mexico with nothing in her way. Ready or not here comes Rita and she is really growing fast. Rita is already a fairly large system and moves directly thru the alleyway between cuba and Floridas Southern Most coast and will travel directly over the florida keys. Unfortunately the only way out of the keys will be thru Rita, as she approaches from West to East, while the escape route by land is from East to West?

The atlantic hurricanes are now on number 18 named storms, while the Pacific coast is still on the Ms for tropical storms. Meanwhile the moon cycle and Solar Flares are problematic and adding to the atmospheric energy right now and once these storms get started they will grow in a turbulent environment of higher seas, white caps, warmer waters and we are still in the peak of hurricane Season, in September.

Will we get a fatal four hurricane Run again this year like we did last year when florida took 4 hurricanes in a little over a one-month period? It is well possible the Rita will clear the alley way and suck tropical Storm Philippe into her void as she quickly moves into the gulf and is texas bound. Meanwhile if Rita hits with the revenge of Galveston:

We have another sea wall to deal with and if it hits north East of Galveston then Houston, we have a problem and that means due to the size of what Rita could become, we are talking about flooding from houston to New orleans. There is not a whole lot in the way of tropical Storm Rita and weather forecasters are pretty certain that it will be a hurricane within 36-48 hours. Rita is going to rip the relaxing reality of resorts in Key West on her way to breath the really warm gulf air. Think on this.

A portable dvd player is great for alleviating the boredom of long rides on the road. Usually, all portable dvd players are manufactured sturdily for traveling purposes. However, since it is still an electronic device, there is always the probability of it getting spoiled due to the various bumps found on roads. This is where the use of a portable dvd player case comes in handy.

There are many portable dvd player cases available on the market. However, when choosing a case, make sure to choose a good and solid portable case for the delicate portable player. The portable dvd player case has to be large enough to have room to keep the portable player and the extra cables that may be needed to use the portable dvd playerand, of course, a few favorite DVDs. The portable dvd player case is usually made of ballistic nylon, as it is a sturdy material that is both lightweight and water resistanttwo requirements for a traveling accessory. They come with an adjustable in-car suspension system that allows for easy attachment to most seat backs, or between two bucket seats. This mounting system can also be detached to convert into a portable carrying case.

In addition to all this, there are also storage pockets for the remote control and discs and sometimes extra space for additional boxed DVDs. For the convenience of listening to the movie while the player is in the case, some portable dvd player cases come with a built-in, double headphone jack. There usually also is a built-in power port that streamlines an AV power cord from the vehicles power source. Moreover, there is also a warranty for portable dvd player cases that is usually for twenty-five years or so. So go ahead and buy a portable dvd player case before the wear and tear of use on the road takes its toll on the portable dvd player.

How many times have you had an excellent drive followed by an equally excellent approach shot only to be disappointed by your chip/pitch/sand shot and/or 3-putt effort? The short game (putting, chipping, pitching and sand play) accounts for about 80 percent of your total score. These skills are too important to be ignored.

You dont believe us? The next time youre out on the golf course, count the number of shots it takes you to get from the edge of the green to the hole. If youre an average golfer like us, you will be surprised at the number of strokes you use on your short game, and it doesnt necessarily depending on what golf equipment you are using.

If you want to lower your score, your best chance to do so would be to work on your short game. With a little time and effort spent practicing with your wedges and putter, you will improve your game and shave strokes off your score. The great thing is that improving your short game does not require any special strength, coordination, conditioning or special golf clubs. These are skills that everybody who plays can masterand have fun improving! The key is to spend just as much time, if not more time, practicing your short game as you do your long game.

putting Rule: When putting, try not to think too hard. This is when mistakes are usually made. Am I taking the putter too far back? Am I aligned correctly? If you continually ask yourself these questions on the green, you are already thinking of ways to miss the putt. Just look at the hole and go straight at it. Why do you think new golfers and kids sometimes do so well at putting? Is it because they have a special gift for putting? No, of course it isnt. Its because they are not thinking about their approach and are only wanting for the ball to go in the hole. We know that this sounds overly simplistic, but if you do your thinking on the practice green and get your timing and alignment set on a consistent basis, the next time youre on the course it will all become instinctive and you can then concentrate on distance and the undulations on the green and not focus attention on your putting stroke.

putting practice: Before you tee off on the first hole if you're in a hurry. This exercise will help you make good contact with the ball and create momentum on your putts. Place the ball about three feet away from the hole on a flat part of the green. Without using a backstroke, push the ball into the hole using your putter. In other words, don't use a backstroke during this part of the exercise. Hit the ball immediately from address, do this 5 times and get a good feel for your follow-through. After doing this, use your normal putting stroke and hit the ball another 5 times from the same distance. You should notice a difference in your putting stroke. This simple and quick exercise creates a smoother stroke and follow-through when putting.

Pitch shot Rule: Set your hips, knees and feet open to the target and accelerate through your swing. Yes, there are other things that your could work on when hitting a wedge, but the most common mistakes that amateurs make are standing square to the ball at address and slowing down on the backswing. Correcting these two flaws will enable you to hit more consistent and accurate shots. Keeping your shoulders square and slightly opening up your hips, knees and feet towards the target will allow you to get through the shot and get air under the ball. Your follow through should be as long as, if not longer, than your backswing just to make sure you accelerate through it. This will allow you to make good contact with the ball and you will make consistently straight and accurate shots.

So, what are you waiting for? Get out to the golf course and start shaving strokes off your score!
