Lake George New York, A Great Place to Ride

By LJ James

As a Biker I love to take long Rides on my 2007 Harley Davidson, Nightrain. Some times a trip to Connecticut where one has the freedom of choice to decided if they want to wear a Helmet or not is a great place to go. Often I head up to the NY Catskill Mountains, Where a Burger and a Beer at Nicks Waterfall House in West Conesville can be the perfect end to a day of Cruising threw the Mountains.

Then there is another of my Favorite places to ride to, The Lake George NY area. My Uncle has a small Cabin in the Mountains right outside of the town of Lake George where I often stay. The area has some great long and winding roads for riding, These roads will relax even the most stressed Motorcycle rider.

There is so much history to the Lake George NY area. While on a trip one year riding around with no real destination in mind, I found myself in front of Fort Ticonderoga (fort-ticonderoga.org). Being very interested in American History I had to stop in and take the tour. The Fort was built between 1755 and 1759 and has plenty of stories to tell. It had a big roll in the American Revolution. As I walked around the Fort the I could almost imagine I had traveled back to the 18Th Century, The things I learned reminded me of the sacrifices our fore Fathers made to secure the Freedoms we enjoy and let slip threw our fingers every day.

Another thing I like to do is ride on some of the less traveled roads. Riding on a road where you see nothing but Forests and small Waterfalls for miles is very relaxing. I like to search out small little Dinners and eatery's, Stopping at them and trying some of the foods they have to offer.

I recently met up with my Mother, Sister, Brother, Nieces, Nephew and other members of my family at the Lake George Escape Evergreen Resort Campgrounds (LakeGeorgeEscape.com), I found it a great places for me to relax for a few days. There where plenty of activities for the kids and many activities I could enjoy with the kids. In the resorts game room I won my Nieces and Nephew many prizes and I played (or maybe Battled is a more accurate word) Air Hockey with my younger Brother in the game room for hours. The resort has a pond and two pools to Swim in. Each week at the resort during the Summer has a thyme and while we where there it was Halloween week. The Camp Grounds has Nightly Hay rides around the Camp Grounds and since it was Halloween week my Brother came up with the idea of throwing out candy to all the kids as we took a Hay ride around the grounds one night. The Cherry on the top of this great resort has to be the on Grounds full service Tiki style Bar where most Nights they had a DJ to help keep the party going!

Many other things I have stopped to enjoy while riding around and staying in the Lake George area is White Water rafting, Hiking and many Trips to Six Flags Great Escape & Splash Water Kingdom. The park was known as Storytown USA when it first opened in 1954. As a Kid I used to love to watch the gun fights in its old western area known as Ghost town. The park may be much larger now and have many modern day Rides and attractions, but all the old Story town, Jungleland and Ghost town areas from the 50's and 60s are still there! Then of course there is the town of Lake George it self with many great stores for shopping including a new shop I found last year called DILLIGAF's. Many Arcades, Museum's, Para Sailing, Night Clubs and Many Places to eat including some Waterfront Restaurants. Now in my opinion no trip to Lake George can be Complete without a Paddle wheel Cruise on the historic and scenic Lake George itself. The lake is known as the Queen of American Lakes. There are Two maybe three Companies you can use, But I recommend you take your trip on the Lake George Steamboat Company's (lakegeorgesteamboat.com) Minnie-Ha-Ha. I have Pictures of me getting on this Boat with my Family that go back many years.

As Bikers We are always looking for Great places to ride to alone or with our friends and family that offer both great riding areas and many things to do. I have found Lake George to be a great area for both!

Maybe I will see you there! Your Bro L.J. James AmericanBikerX.com Listen to LJs Radio Show at BikerLowDown.com

Make Money Taking Surveys - A Career or a Scam?

By Adrian Evans

In this day and age most people are aware that you can make money taking surveys, but not everyone knows how much you can actually make doing money surveys. I was really becoming burnt out in my last job with the long hours of traveling that comes with a sales career; not to mention I was missing the my son's toddler years. I wanted a better life and at first I had a real tough time finding ways to make money working from home. After several months of searching, I came across a review similar to this one. This review was written by a man in a position very similar to mine that had been able to make quite a good income earning money for surveys online. He was making $2900 a month for just a few hours of work a day from his lake front cottage. At first I thought it was too good to be true, and in most cases it is, however, there are some real companies out there that compensate well for participating in money surveys.

Companies need product feedback in order to provide a higher quality product for consumers, and employees at these companies don't have time or budget to be setting up booths and running around with a clipboard. The fact of the matter is that the internet is the cheapest way for these companies to achieve this.

Having said that I'm not referring to money surveys websites that allow you to sign up for free. On the surface this offer sounds tempting, however, these survey sites offer surveys from fly-by-night often marketing focused companies, rather then companies doing legitimate research that will pay for accurate customer data. What you will often find with free survey sites is that the represented company's mandate is to retrieve your personal data for their marketing purposes rather then providing legitimate surveys.

There are some great programs available that pay you well for your opinion of real products. The most reputable money survey websites include:

- Membership Fee: Any real company is going to require at least a small initial membership fee. No matter how bad you want there to be a legit free sign-up money for surveys website, it truly is impossible for that to happen. Any company looking for consumers to take a product review survey is going to want real, honest people who are not just going to randomly answer every question. The membership fee allows the survey website to provide only the better surveys and weed out people who are just looking for a quick buck, rather than an honestly earned paycheck.

- Large Companies: If your money for surveys company is legitimate, they are going to have a number of large name clients. Many of these companies have names such as Coca Cola, Taco Bell, Verizon, and Burger King on their client list. You won't see any of these large names on any of the free paid survey websites. That is because none of these large companies would trust their data to a survey company with a less than trustworthy screening process.

Money surveys can also be a fun way to express your opinion and it is possible to make a good living taking surveys from the right programs. I would recommend, however, to combine this survey program with other proven work at home programs (some on site highlighted in footer) as diversification is important from both a multiple revenues streams perspective and to keep your mind stimulated with a diverse set of daily tasks and challenges.

How To Get Your Ex Boyfriend Back

By Ray J.T.

Two critical parts in the give and take that goes hand in hand with any relationship are sacrifice and compromise. If you want to get back together with your ex boyfriend, then you are going to need to keep these things in mind. Nothing is going to make mending a broken relationship simple, but some of the advice in this article can certainly make it a lot easier overall to give him a reason to come back to you.

So while you may be obsessing with the all important question, "how can I get back together with my ex boyfriend?", what you need to be focusing on is rectifying the causes of failure. By doing so you will be able to reduce the tension and stress which brought the split on in the first place.

So, how can you get your ex boyfriend back ?

When a relationship fails, you should take that as an indication that something went wrong. If your boyfriend left you, then it was likely for one of two reasons: Either the relationship was becoming stale because there was not enough of you in it, or the relationship was getting too claustrophobic because there was too much of you in it. Either way, one of these causes is going to lead to relationship failure. If you are asking "How can I get back together with my ex boyfriend", then you should start evaluating at which of these led to the break up so you can act accordingly..

Whatever the cause is that chiefly contributed to the separation, it was maybe either something that you did, or something that you didn't do. It may be uneasy to look at things this way, but that is simply how it usually works. The person who was broken up with either did, or did not do something and the person doing the splitting simply felt driven away. So now what happens, and how can you manage to get him to come back? The first step is to change whatever it was that drove him away in the first place.

You need to sit down and really take a hard look at your situation. What could have led to the breakup? Which of these things were your fault, and which were not your fault?

Rule out the ones that were out of your control, since they continue to be out of your control, and focus on the things that you did do wrong, the ones that you can in fact change. If your biggest problem is something that you were responsible for and that you could change, then there is a very good chance that you can still get back together with him. However, you must be certain you really are willing to make the necessary changes to appeal to him again.

Just knowing how to get back together with your ex boyfriend is not enough. It won't happen unless you are willing to make changes. Now!
