10 Tips For Getting Sponsors As An Athlete
Finding sponsorship to bring an athletic career to a higher competitive level is a competition in itself, so here are 10 tips for getting sponsors as an athlete. It can be a difficult task for both amateurs and professionals. Whether you are just getting started, or you need to ramp up your sponsorship, here are 10 tips for getting a sponsor as an athlete.
- The sponsorship letter. The first thing you need to do is create a letter about yourself and your accomplishments as an athlete. This in a sense is your resume and cover letter. It should list awards and also say what sets you apart from other athletes to make you marketable.
- Start with who you know. The best place to start when looking for a sponsor is with the people you know. Family, employers, neighbors, and groups within your community. Even some of the most famous athletes started with smaller sponsors from their own home towns before they made connections with the big names.
- Online Social Networks. Social Networking sites are not just for teenagers anymore. There are some sites such as SponsorHouse where the goal is for athletes and sponsors to meet. This is a place where someone who loves a sport and wants to find a way to be involved can find athletes who need help getting their careers off the ground.
- Know what sponsors want. An important point to remember is that a corporate sponsor is not necessarily sponsoring you because they like you. The want to get their name out there and have it associated with a winner. When asking for sponsorship remember to tell them what you can do for them as a public figure in the sport.
- Research. Before you approach a specific sponsor make sure you do your homework. Find out all there is to know about the company, including their values and how they perceive themselves in the business world. This will help you to build a case for a successful relationship.
- Getting in the door. How do you know who to talk to about sponsorship? The best person to start with is the receptionist. He or she will know the name of the person you need to speak to. Remember that in a large company you will want someone in the marketing or public relations department, but in a smaller company it could be anyone from the sales department all the way up to the president of the company.
- Public Speaking. As much as most people hate it, public speaking is necessary. The better public speaker you are the better you will be at promoting your sponsor. Being an accomplished public speaker is a great way to sell yourself to a potential sponsor.
- Websites. One of the easiest ways to promote yourself is to have your own website. This is a place where potential sponsors can get information about you. Make sure it looks professional and includes your bio, accomplishments and upcoming events.
- The Interview. An interview for a potential sponsorship is just like an interview for a job. Make sure you can talk about yourself as a person and as an athlete. You should be able to qualify your accomplishments, and also make sure you can talk fluently about where you want to go in your career.
- Get involved in your community. The best way to get your name out there is to be involved in your community. This is a good way to hone your public speaking skills while you make yourself known to local businesses. Finding a sponsor is all about how you market yourself.

Take a look at this marketing and public relations firm in Dallas, Texas.
Pet food promotion, just in case you have not seen, is fiercely competitive. I used to be in a Pet Smart just this week and when I located the dog treat segment – it seemed just like a giant shiny wall of ads – a 9 foot wall, yelling distinct claims at me. I merely stared in shock and presumed – how do pet owners choose things to get and wade through the wall-o-treats full of pet food advertising mania. Thus, I inquired a man who had been standing there, additionally looking somewhat shell shocked. He explained "I purchase the duck flavored 1. My Joey won't eat anything but those, plus they are all outside." After assessing for almost any stock back there he was waiting for the pet store worker to come in the back room. They were out back there also. Joey's owner was smashed. Said he'd come back when another cargo was to arrive.
Some things reiterated to me some fundamental notions that I've learned in my own dog treat baking and sank in for me:
1. Dog treats is an incredibly competitive company,
2. Dog owners, much like their 4 legged companies have become true,
3. Setting yourself besides the bunch of other bakers is among the most critical elements of establishing your successful company.
You will need to get found, get customers excited about your treats, and also make the sale. Pet food promotion or specially, dog treat promotion, is around going for an individual from believing "oh that's a cunning / fantastic / wonderful merchandise" to "oh that's a cunning / fantastic / excellent merchandise. I want that for my dog." Think about that for a second. You desire individuals to WANT your treats. You want your own customer be be just like Joey's owner – standing in the wall-o-treats, decided to locate that 1 type and willing to come back much later in the week simply because they did not have it.
Let's be fair. The majority of you'ren't slaving away working 2 jobs, staying up all hours of the nighttime scouring the internet for help as you are bored. And I understand that a good number of you are in fact working that difficult. Probably you're
– Really enthusiastic about your dog(s)
– Love all dogs for that matter
– you've fire to produce wonderful treats
– you'dn't mind loving your work and producing an adequate income from customers purchasing your dog treats
So, how can you get seen? How can you choose all this fire and turn it into an effective business which brings you fulfillment. An excellent technique to market your treats is vital to getting this occur. Some things to think about as you enter pet merchandise promotion and specially dog treat promotion. Comprehending all these tasks and going through each of these exercises can help you to better identify where you wish to go and the way to reach your consumers and ask them to say "I desire that dog treat (your dog treat) for my dog."
Construct a much better dog treat
One method to set yourself apart from your competition and develop a strong pet merchandise marketing plan is to create a much better dog treat than is out there now. Is there something unique about your dog treat? No allergens, no fat, low calories, distinct contours, forte flours / fixings, decorated gourmet treats, all-natural, you use "orange flower honey" and hand rock ground chicory root flour – Do any of those apply to your own merchandise? Do you oven bake your treats in a brick fire oven? Is there something in regards to how you prepare them that nobody else is doing? Developing a distinctive merchandise may open up a number of consumers that nobody else is tending to. This is certainly one method to efficiently begin your furry friend merchandise marketing plan. That Is called niche marketing.
Define your marketplace
Where would you anticipate selling your dog treats? This can help you construct your dog treat marketing plan. Defining how, where and to whom you would like to sell your treats will undoubtedly be vital. The fixings you may want to use would be quite different than if you wished to offer your treats at a local independently owned pet store, if you're planning on selling your dog treats in a nearby farmer's market every Saturday, afterward the packaging you could choose. Or, in case you anticipate selling your treats in a veterinarians office or selling them in something special boutique – all of the scenarios would merit different strategies.
For instance, in the farmer's market, I may possess the treats open to the atmosphere in the original market place fashion with small paw print paper bags to set the treats in as individuals bought the treats they needed from the 1/2 pound, where as in a boutique, I may wish to show my treats in an exceedingly cunning basket display, as well as in the veterinarians office – a really conventional carton sort program may work best. The customer at all these places is likely looking for really various kinds of goods too. So the way you promote your pet merchandises to all those people will differ. Construct your treat for those who'll be shopping where you sell.
Understand your opposition
Thus, as a way to develop an improved dog treat, you must understand what everyone else is constructing, particularly those peoples on your turf. We could call this pet merchandise marketing research. Visit The locations you want to market and look at exactly what the peoples are doing that are already there. Speak to the pet store owners to see the things they enjoy about specific treats, and what they do not enjoy. Utilize these details that will help you choose what you would like to do otherwise. Make sure you comprehend the costs your rivals are charging and what their pack size is. Value their display and any literature that they might have supplied the shop owners.
You may also purchase several of the opponent's products and take them home and try them out yourself. Do Not simply restrict your evaluation to the treats – actually read the packaging also. Can there be a problem with all the packaging, is it possible to create a treat which goes in a more environmentally favorable bundle than your competitors? Dissecting your competitors is a crucial part of being successful in the market. And even after you've gotten your products out there, making certain that your opposition is not retrieving your land will probably be essential. Your will should continue your furry friend merchandise marketing research. This exercise of reviewing competitive merchandise, browsing the internet and walking the shops is vital.
Outside cost your competitors
Another manner, besides constructing an original dog treat, to efficiently promote your dog treats is to outside price your rivalry. You might not need to assemble anything exceptional – your cost might be quite so great the shop owners / customers will leap in the chance to utilize your merchandise. Using pricing to simply help sell your products is one strategy to building your customer base. Your gross profit may be a bit less than your opponents, however you can make up the difference in quantity.
Support your merchandises
Among the things that people learned going into independent pet stores and speaking to owners about what made merchandises successful was the in store support that we supplied alongside our treats. They said that having some form of signal / pamphlets / in shop promotions were all keys to success in the pet stores.
So if when you bring your dog treats into a shop owner to market your goods, additionally you bring a fantastic display thought, some hints to hang up, and you also give to coming once a month to do a sampler display for 2 hours on a Saturday so that their clients can attempt your treats – they LOVE that. You might be helping them to sell the merchandises they take – and at once, sell your personal products.
In a farmer's market – you might additionally wish to do a free sampler Saturday – and give away a few of your treats. This gets people excited about your goods, and additionally they get to trust you. You standing behind your goods, supplying support to put away owners or letting dog owners have their dogs strive your products will go a really long way to developing a true customer base.

lefish (11/10/2012) [-]
That story is so cool because of how obviously real it is. The fact that girls are always giving strip teases to this guy makes me think he's cool and attractive. I bet he has sex all the time with beautiful people, when he isn't too busy making piles of money. Because he's rich and smart. Hot damn, what a cool ******* guy. I wish I could be as great as him.

PopTag! players will have a series of new maps added in the next update. Ocean themes are the name of the game, matey, so keep readin'! YARR!
PopTag!'s Ucoming Update to Introduce New Map
Players looking for an ocean adventure will be able to water balloon battle in a new ocean-themed setting to be introduced in Nexon America's next update for PopTag!. This new content addition will allow gamers to explore and adventure in an entirely new gaming environment. Several maps will be available for players to choose from, giving them an opportunity to test their sea legs in different settings. For those afraid of getting sea sick, they can stick to the new maps designed more like an island, rather than a watery maze. Just as other maps, players will be rewarded with an abundance of Lucci, or in-game currency, and EXP.
To find out more about the upcoming update and to practice steadying your sea legs, visit: http://poptag.nexon.net

Coffee bean cuff links? Lap and knee mugs? What?
While researching the Holiday Gift Guides, I came across some rather unusual coffee products, but nothing that compares to what I saw at Uncommon Goods. I've come across some great gifts there, but that's the first time that I've spotted any coffee related items there.
I know that for most people, the holiday shopping season is probably over, but I couldn't wait until next year to share them with you.
What's the most unique coffee item that you've come across?
I don't wear cuff links often, but I do have a couple of cuff link shirts and I'm certain that these would look amazing on me. I'm just saying.
These coffee bean cufflinks are made from the molds of real coffee beans cast in solid sterling silver. An artist named Amy Pfaffman specializes in turning everyday objects into functional art and these coffee bean cufflinks are the perfect way to enjoy that morning tradition all day long.
These aren't your average, every day coffee mugs and don't even think about trying to rest it on the table. Resist the urge to live dangerously!
Turn that underutilized lap or knee into a cup holder with the help of these cleverly designed ceramic nestling mugs. Perfect for cozy couches, comfy chairs and messy desks – when a resting place for your drink is nowhere in sight.
As an added bonus, they have a couple of coffee treats.
The Roboostas is robusta coffee mixed with chocolate and the Java Rocks is finely ground coffee mixed with cocoa. I think both would satisfy my sweet tooth.

Ike Turner made a final appearance yesterday in a spectacular gold-studded lilac suit, with a golden Fender Stratocaster by the side of his coffin.
The elaborate silver coffin was topped with a massive spray of white flowers at the Angelus Funeral Home on Crenshaw Blvd., where hundreds filed past to pay their final respects. TMZ spotted accused murderer Phil Spector in the queue.
this picture is so wrong and should be taken down. are you human dont you have any respect for anyone?? havent you ever heard in the saying "rest in peace". you should not disrespect him or his family like that regardless of his past. how would you like to see a picture of a family member or someone you cared about being exploited like that?? thats just plain wrong.
TMZ are you serious??? why in the world would you decide to post that picture? it doesnt spark debate or controversy or get attention, it just makes your site lose cred and become something like National Inquirer or Star. Totally tacky. Step it up Tmz, seriously! I am so disappointed in you. STop the TACKINESS already!
Long ago in the late 1800's and early 1900's is was common to take photos of people in a coffin due to the fact that family members couldn't make it due to the lack of transportation.......What's your reason now, TMZ? To be like Rotten.com? Hmmm.......
Jeffery Miller, Ijust wanted to say something in response to your post. I was feeling the same thing about how cruel poeple were twards your Godfather, a person whom propbably none of them have meet. I am sorry for your and the familys loss. My father met and hung out with, and drove your Godfather around L.A. Ike brought in the new year with my dad and Kato. He said that he treated him as though he had always knew him. He also said he was generous and kind. I know he will be missed.
I came to this website today to verify that TMZ removed this photo. Much to my surprise, TMZ DID NOT. I am really shocked that you have not listened to your customers in this regard. Most of the posts ask you to REMOVE THE PHOTO.
I stated I would never come to this site again. Today I gave you a second chance. Today was your last chance.
Regarding this comment: "65. It's pretty funny that you guys are totally okay with TMZ disrespecting living stars all the time. It's okay to stalk people... Come on, guys, feed a hungry kid, plant a tree...by FIGHT"
I was NEVER OKAY with some of the video and pics that TMZ has chosen to post. In the past, I chose NOT to look at the video, or scrolled past the photo. THIS photo OF IKE'S DEAD BODY is the LAST STRAW for me.
It is not a matter of seeing a dead body in a coffin, or seeing the coffin photo in an unexpected way on the web. My disgust comes from all the feelings and pain and grief that his loved ones are feeling right now, and how those family members and friends would feel so betrayed and disrespected to see the photo. If MORE OF YOU who do not see that this photo is DISRESPECTFUL would start to think of SOMEONE ELSE BESIDE YOURSELVES, you MIGHT be able to see a different perspective.
Hugging a tree or buying a hybrid or any of those other unrelated, condescending remarks have nothing to do with the LACK OF RESPECT THAT TMZ has shown by posting this photo. AS I STATED BEFORE, THIS IS THE LAST STRAW FOR ME.
If you cannot write another point of view without offending others, you should not post.
One more thing: Why do you have to go so LOW and disrespectful in your "reporting," TMZ? Dirty, distaste, shock value, and disrespect DON'T ALWAYS SELL. You have talented people working for you, and the direction of this site and this company is WRONG. You can still take the high road and have all that you have at TMZ. You all have to look at yourselves in the morning.
I am glad Tina stayed far far away from that funeral. She does not need to put up with Ike's family talking about her behind her back. If they have something to say to Tina why don't they tell her in her face. Why is it that evrytime something happens to Ike they want to hear from Tina? Leave the woman alone. I feel bad for Ike's family but they need to shut their mouths up about Tina. Tina is the best and would always be the best.
RIP Ike!
Oh yeah, If you'd actually like to know the truth about Ike and Tina's relationship from someone who was there and not the BS that her movie put out, go here:
But then,,, you people can't stand the truth, can you?
People go and get a life. I quess you all are calling tina's son, the ikettes and everybody else a liar. That's what it sounds like to me. There are so many people who says thr same thing that Tina is saying. For your infromation Tina is actually mixed her you know how to read you would know that.

Project by SNSpencer | posted 1570 days ago | 6471 views | 11 times favorited | 21 comments |
Sometimes I find it amusing what people find interesting. After a box run I took a bunch of leftover stock and made a "scrap" box to hold something small on my desk at work. It ended up being my rubber band box. I have received more attention over this box than I would have ever expected with multiple offers to purchase it. Weird. But is does make a nice example of what some different woods look like for comparison. Resulted in a couple of custom box requests.
The box is made from leftover Yellowheart, Purpleheart, Maple and Padauk. Through Dovetail joinery using a Leigh jig. The lid is also from left over veneer scrap so I tried my hand at creating veneer seams. The joints turned out way better than I expected for my first shot. The veneers are Quilted Maple, Black Walnut Burl on the outside and Quilted Bubinga and Pomelle Sapele on the inside.
Box size is 6"L x 4"W x 2 5/8"T.
Red leather lined bottom and simple surface installed hinges.

It's a Great Looking Box, that's why people like it!! The stark contrasts in Woods really "Sets-off" those joints, and the diagonal amplifies it that much more… A real Eye-catcher!! -- Mike in Concord, NH---Unpleasant tasks are simply worthy challenges to improve skills. |

This is the type of project that does't sound like it will work until you see the final project. I like the contrast between the two woods especially in the dovetail joint. Looks way too nice to be a rubberband box. -- Richard Boise, Idaho |
#11 posted 1570 days ago |
Fantastic scrap wood box! Lots of nice details. The diagnol across the top is an amazing affect. Great joints. Great design and build. Kep it up. Scrappy -- Scrap Wood's the best...the projects are smaller, and so is the mess! |

Great use of scraps. -- CJIII Future cabinetmaker |
#13 posted 1570 days ago |
Cool box! I see why people like it and want to buy it. There seems to be a harmony with the differing species you used. When I first looked at the images, before I read your description, I wondered what on earth you were trying to achieve. Then I read that you used scraps, looked at the images again, and decided I really like what you created, much more than just a box, but an exhibition of the different woods.

"Why You Shouldn't Link to Your Web Portfolio in Your Job Application"
This is a ridiculous statement.
I don't know about you, but I could care less what is on a resume. If you can show you can design or code well, I'll want to work with you.
Anytime I get and email from anyone applying to be a designer, I go to the resume last. I want to see what you can do before I even consider responding.

My goal this week is to clean up my G+ circles. It's time I start actively using G+ in general, but that's a roadblock I have to get through first.
I've got a circle for designers and developers I set up over a year ago, but it's a big link pile that I normally avoid. I've got a feedly for that kind of stuff. Don't need it here, too.

Day 21: Waking Up On Time #wakeupontime
The last time I wrote about this "project" was August 2nd. So, it could be easily assumed I failed at continuing this. However, le'me explain.
The main problem, really, is that I'm terrible at blogging consistently. Outside of that, this month was terrible for my schedule.
August 5th-9th was the final push to get a lot of work done before WMC Fest. So, I was still getting up early, still clearing off my podcast queue, but I was also managing some other blogging that I help do before leaving in the morning. Normally, I've been doing it during my breaks while at the office, but - knowing how much needed to get done at work, there just wasn't enough time.
August 12-14th, was my final push at the office, but I decided to change up the new morning routine. I was able to add about 20 minutes ... more »

Just signed up for the Google Music 30-day trial. They want to give Spotify a go. I'm willing to give them that opportunity.
The one thing I miss so far is the tie-in into Pitchfork. I used that app to find new music.

Had a problem upgrading the T42 to the latest Ubuntu. Only get desktop now, with no ability to access anything but the terminal. After surfing the net, couldn't find a solution that actually worked. Tried booting from an 11.04 CD and it failed, big time.
So, back to XP on the craptop. Installed Chrome and called it a day. That's all we'll use on it. Maybe will put Avast on it tonight.
Going back to XP is always fun, just because it requires an update to all drivers prior to accessing the internet. Glad I burned that driver CD the last time I had to do this.

I've started to brew beer. On a small scale. I've worked with 2 brew kits so far. The first was a West Coast Pale Ale, which was bottled in December. The second was a Blonde Ale, which was bottled in January.
Last night, I opened up one of the Blondes, as it had been conditioning for 3 weeks. Figured I'd give it a try.

This is the +Go Media Podcast studio. Yes, it's our glass-walled conference room. Some soundproofing panels in the right corner and behind me (in gray, with the headphones on).
This is from Episode 6 which will be released next week. Bill (red polo) and +Jeff Finley (red plaid) are the main hosts using Samson U2Qs. Our guests this week, Jesse Sloan and Todd Gauman, shared another mic. This week, we talked about WMCFest.com's upcoming event.
We're using a Behringer x1204usb mixer, a standard Dell laptop to record (Audacity) and stream (Mixlr), and I am using a Nexus 7 for my show notes. Also, recording to a Zoom H2.
Podcast recording will be out on Wednesday.

On a podcast I help with, we want to give people an incentive to donate to us to help pay for operating costs (hosting, etc).
My thought is to basically say that, with each donation, you are put in the running for a free T-Shirt or a ad spot on the show or something. It's kind of like a raffle ticket, really.
Is that within the law (#Ohio and #Michigan specifically)? Can anyone assist?

I'm looking for an inexpensive external wav/mp3 recorder that I can hook my mixer into with a line out. I've used the Zoom H2 and have heard good things about the H4N, but what about the Tascam DR-05?
It's got pretty good reviews on Amazon and is under $90 for prime users. Curious if anyone else has had any experience with it.

About the College of Nursing
Current students
Prospective students
Financial information
Sanford College of Nursing
General admissions requirements
Admissions ProcedureApplication ProcessSanford College of Nursing (College) admits students twice a year. The application deadline for students with an anticipated May graduation date is November 1. The application deadline for students with an anticipated December graduation date is February 1. An admissions meeting will be held to consider applicants meeting each deadline. Applications received after each deadline will be considered until the class is full. The College encourages interested students to apply after the application deadline should there still be spaces available in the class or on the waiting list.
Application Review and Selection for AdmissionThe Student Affairs Committee makes admission decisions based on a composite picture of the applicant. The College retains the right to accept the most highly qualified applicants as determined by the College. Admission to the program is competitive and based in large part on the grade point average (GPA) earned in prerequisite and science courses. Therefore, the higher the average and the greater the prerequisites completed at review, the greater the likelihood of admission. All available information in a student file will be considered. Selection criteria for consideration of admission include, but are not limited to, overall GPA, science GPA, TOEFL iBT scores, amount of prerequisite coursework completed, review of personal statement and impromptu essay, and personal interview. The Director of Student Services may accept exceptional students without review by the Student Affairs Committee. The following is the exceptional student criteria:
Student Services will provide written notification to each student regarding admission or denial of admission to the College. Accepted students must complete commitment forms and submit a $200 reservation fee, which will reserve their space. The fee will be applied to the first semester of tuition. Applicants who meet admission requirements and are not granted admission may notify the College to keep their application active for future consideration. Accepted students are notified of their spring or fall placement in Health Assessment and Foundations of Nursing Practice. An additional five qualified applicants who have completed the interview process will be ranked and placed on a waiting list. They will be provided written notification. The top ranked student on the waiting list will be contacted if a position becomes available.Final AdmissionAdmission is on a conditional basis until:

Independence Hall Museum Review
This impressive building was originally the home of the city's first mayor, Meir Dizengoff. The country's leaders assembled here on May 14, 1948, to announce to the world the establishment of the State of Israel. Today the museum's Hall of Declaration stands as it did on that dramatic day, with the original microphones on the long table where the dignitaries sat. Behind the table is a portrait of the Zionist leader Theodor Herzl.

Bonnie Cazier the Art of Western Impressionism
Bonnie Cazier's love of the Western landscape and it's inhabitants is evident in her passionately rendered image of horses, cowboys and evocative images of light interacting with landscapes of the west. Equine art is a specialty and with 40 years of experience working with horses as an owner, exhibitor, trainer, massage therapist, photographer and artist, she has become a favorite of collectors and people that wish to have the equine companions immortalized but custom commissioned pieces. The above image was chosen "Top 10" in Artists Magazine "Over 60 Competition" out of over 2700 entries. Look for her in the 2014 "Arts to Zions Studio Tour 2014" January 17-20.

Foreign Aid in the Aftermath of Large Natural Disasters
This paper examines Official Development Assistance (ODA) in the aftermath of large natural disasters between 1970 and 2008. Using an event-study approach, the paper finds that while the median increase in ODA is 18 percent compared to pre-disaster flows, the typical surge is small in relation to the size of the affected economies. Moreover, aid surges typically cover only 3 percent of the total estimated economic damages caused by the disasters. The main determinants of post-disaster aid surges are found to be the intensity of the event itself and the recipient country's characteristics such as level of development, country size and stock of foreign reserves. The paper does not find evidence that political considerations or strategic behavior on the part of donors determine the size of post-disaster aid surges.Download Info

by Planning With Kids on December 24, 2012 in Organisation, Travel and tagged KIDS. | 0 comments
I live in Melbourne, but grew up in Mildura. My parents, my sister's family and lots of other family still live there, so we make several trips a year to visit.
Mildura is located in the north west of Victoria and is 550 kilometeres away from Melbourne. Pre kids we would complete the journey in a bit over six hours. The average journey time now with kids is about seven and a half hours. It peaked at over eight hours once, as I was travelling with all kids on my own and had to stop for a number of breastfeeding sessions!
I do quite like long road trips, but for them to be enjoyable for everybody, I have found they do require pre planning and organisation. Making long road trips so frequently we have our organisation down to a finely tuned process now:
We let the kids know when we are going, what time we are leaving. This gives them the opportunity to organise things they might like to have in the car with them.
As the kids have reached reading stage, we print them out a map of the route we are going to take. It is a great way to introduce map reading skills and they love to work out exactly where we are on the map.
Now we don't have babies sleeping and breastfeeding to work around, we let the kids look at the map and discuss where we might like to stop along the journey.
The activity packs are for our younger three (9, 6 & 3). Putting the activity packs together is a great task to set the kids in the lead up to going. They can print out quizes, mazes, dot to dots, puzzles etc. Kidspot have a range of Kids Activity sheets that they can print out.
The kids can also make their own wordsearch. This online tool is super easy to use and the kids can create a wordsearch based on any theme they like.
We often make them themed around our trip, for example using town names between Melbourne to Mildura. You can download the one you see pictured above if you are making a similar journey – Melbourne – Mildura Word Search.
The site offers a range of other tools that the kids can use to create more activities for the trip:
To avoid the I lost my pencil scenario, for the last few trips I have simply used a clipboard with a pencil attached to it. We still pack a pencil case with coloured pencils, rubbers, sharpener etc, but I keep that is kept up in the front and accessed as needed.
We drive a Tarago which means we have a couple of rows of kids. We have found it easiest to set each child up with their own food pack for the day. It wil include, water, snacks, fruit and a main lunch item. I aim to make the food packs as healthy as possible. Five kids cooped up in a car with too much sugar, colouring etc is not an enticing thought.
While we stop regularly, I find the kids often want to eat at different times. Once we hand over the packs in the car, the kids are reminded that the food needs to last them the whole trip.
Hearing them discuss with each other in the car what they are going to eat when, reminds me lots of my childhood. Working out when to eat the treat – first or last???
Most trips we don't need to access the emergency pack, but there has been times when I have been so grateful to have it on board. Like the time the eldest threw up before we had even made our way out of Melbourne! Being able to bag his clothes, wipe him and the mess in the car up and then give him some Panadol for his throbbing headache meant, while it was a less than ideal start to our car trip, we could still continue on in comfort.
This is what we have stocked in our emergency pack:
If you have the ability to play your iPod in the car, we have found it is so handy to have some playlists created. We work it that everyone has a turn of deciding what is played in the car for around an hour. This might be music, quiet or stories.
It is worthwhile investing in some good audio books. They break up the music and give the kids something to focus on. I have also found for the younger ones, the quiet of the car and the story reading is so similar to our nap time routine, that they quite often pop off to sleep.
These are some of the audio books my kids love:
We try to make the journey as enjoyable as possible and stoping regularly for the kids to run around and get some fresh air really helps this. Where possible we will stop at a park, so the kids can play and we always pack a couple of balls, so even if we can only stop at an area with no play equipment, the kids can have a quick game of soccer or down ball.
I know many cars now come with in-built entertainment systems and you can buy portable DVD players, but we are old school and travel without them. And we do survive!
Amongst the music and audiobooks we will often play these games (click on links to see how to play):
I think our holiday starts when we get in the car, not just when we arrive at our destination. Getting there can be part of the fun. Doing some preparation and involving the kids as much as possible means not only can you survive the long road trip with the kids, but you can create some fabulous family memories along the way.

Suicides are surging among US soldiers, averaging nearly one a day this year, according to statistics from the country's defence department.
The 154 suicides for active-duty troops in the first 155 days of the year outnumber the US forces killed in action in Afghanistan by about 50 per cent, according to statistics obtained by the Associated Press news agency.
The numbers are rising among the 1.4 million active military personnel despite years of effort to encourage troops to seek help with mental health problems.
The reasons for the increase are not fully understood. Among explanations, studies have pointed to combat exposure, post-traumatic stress, misuse of prescription medications and personal financial problems.
Jackie Garrick, head of a newly established Defence Suicide Prevention Office at the Pentagon, said on Thursday that the suicide numbers this year are troubling.
"We are very concerned at this point that we are seeing a high number of suicides at a point in time where we were expecting to see a lower number of suicides," she said, adding that the weak US economy may be confounding preventive efforts even as the pace of military deployments eases.
Because suicides had levelled off in 2010 and 2011, this year's upswing has caught some officials by surprise.
Army data suggest soldiers with multiple combat tours are at greater risk of committing suicide, although a substantial proportion of suicides are committed by soldiers who never deployed.
Afghanistan casualties
The unpopular war in Afghanistan is winding down with the last combat troops scheduled to leave at the end of 2014.
"He [Major John Roucco] had suffered injury in combat and he had also suffered from depression and let it go untreated for years. And because of that, he's dead today"
- Kim Ruocco, widow
But this year has seen record numbers of soldiers being killed by Afghan troops, and there have also been several scandals involving US troop misconduct.
The 2012 active-duty suicide total of 154 through to June 3 compares to 130 in the same period last year, an 18 per cent increase.
This year's January to May total is 16 per cent ahead of the figures for 2009, which ended with the highest yearly total thus far.
The suicide pattern varies over the course of a year, but in each of the past five years the trend through May was a reliable predictor for the full year, according to a chart based on figures provided by the Armed Forces Medical Examiner.
Sign of weakness
Many in the military believe that seeking health for mental health issues is seen as a sign of weakness and thus a potential threat to advancement.
Kim Ruocco, widow of Marine Major John Ruocco, a helicopter pilot who hanged himself in 2005 between Iraq deployments, said he was unable to bring himself to go for help.
"He was so afraid of how people would view him once he went for help," she said.
"He thought that people would think he was weak, that people would think he was just trying to get out of redeploying or trying to get out of service, or that he just couldn't hack it - when, in reality, he was sick.
"He had suffered injury in combat and he had also suffered from depression and let it go untreated for years. And because of that, he's dead today."
Ruocco is currently director of suicide prevention programmes for the military support organisation Tragedy Assistance Programs, or TAPS.
The military services have set up confidential telephone hotlines, placed more mental health specialists on the battlefield, added training in stress management, invested more in research on mental health risk and taken other measures.
The suicide numbers began surging in 2006. They soared in 2009 and then levelled off before climbing again this year.
The statistics include only active-duty troops, not veterans who returned to civilian life after fighting in Iraq or Afghanistan.
Nor does the Pentagon's tally include non-mobilised National Guard or Reserve members - part-time troops who normally divide time between civilian life and military services.

pylint 1.1.0
python code static checker
Pylint is a Python source code analyzer which looks for programming errors, helps enforcing a coding standard and sniffs for some code smells (as defined in Martin Fowler's Refactoring book).
Pylint has many rules enabled by default, way too much to silence them all on a minimally sized program. It's highly configurable and handle pragmas to control it from within your code. Additionally, it is possible to write plugins to add your own checks.
It's a free software distributed under the GNU Public Licence.
Development is hosted on bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/logilab/pylint/
You can use the firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list to discuss about Pylint. Subscribe at http://lists.python.org/mailman/listinfo/code-quality or read the archives at http://lists.python.org/pipermail/code-quality/
Pylint requires the astroid (the later the better; formerly known as logilab-astng) and logilab-common (version >= 0.53) packages.
From the source distribution, extract the tarball and run
