Horizon Resort - Ocean Front Myrtle Beach Hotel

It's that time of the year when the weather is cooling down and I'm thinking about taking a vacation in Myrtle Beach. If you've never been to Myrtle Beach it can be overwhelming finding a nice place to stay, especially when you'd like to play a few rounds of golf in between seeing sites and enjoying the nice restaurants.

My choice is to stay at a resort since it's like an all-in-one package. One place I'm definitely checking out is http://www.horizonmyrtlebeach.com. They have ocean front rooms and are definitely on my list of Myrtle beach best hotels. Their website is really informative and you can look around and make reservations right from the comfort of your own home.

Currently I'm looking at their package deals and am thinking of going around Thanksgiving. Why cook and clean and slave away at home when you can enjoy a fabulous Thanksgiving dinner, stay in a luxury room, and golf to your heart's content? http://www.horizonmyrtlebeach.com is probably going to be my choice for a Myrtle Beach hotel.

Playing Tennis For Fun

Guest post from: Kent Lara

If you are competitive person, you may want to try the game of tennis on for size. It is a very fun game that can acutally be very addicting to play.

I love to play this game. There are many reasons why I like to do this. One, it gets me out of the house. After work, I love to put on my athletic clothes and play a few sets of tennis for stress relief. Tennis really gets my blood moving after putting hour after hour in at the office.

Another reason to play is that I get to go out with my favorite tennis partner, my wife of fourteen years. She is a very good tennis player, and was the best on her tennis team in high school. Needless to say, she beats me on occasion and that is very hard to swallow. But, she is good, so she deserves every win.

I love to play anywhere there is a court. The local high school is usually full on nice days so it is hard to find one. But, when I do, I am there for a few hours of fun. Before I go though, I set my ALLHOMESECURITY alarm to keep my home safe from intruders.

Free Halloween Screensavers Recapture Traditional Halloween Fear Factor

By Randi Kucala

It is hard to believe that Halloween actually began in the U.S. as an autumn harvest festival and celebration of the Celtic New Year. For the Celts, October 31 was the beginning of their new year; a time when the harvest was complete and nature was going into a season of death and darkness. This was the night when Samhain, lord of the dead, would let loose the spirits of the dead upon the world. These souls, trapped in the bodies of animals upon death, were free to roam, and not all of them were friendly. Some accounts of the Halloween tradition claim that the Celts believed these evil spirits could claim a new body on this night when the veil to the Otherworld was crossable. In their terror of possession by an evil spirit, they set out treats and took steps to ward off these wicked wraiths.

As new immigrants and varying religions made their way onto American soil, Halloween lost much of its original horror and evolved into the less terrifying, kid-friendly version we see today. However, many of the original references to creepy and sinister creatures such as witches, ghosts, and ghouls still pervade the holiday.

This time of year, there are tons of people who thrill over being scared. These fear fanatics really get in to the Halloween spirit and try to keep the traditional Celtic fear factor alive. That is why two of the free Halloween screensavers at Screensaver.com have been so popular throughout the years.

Halloween Screensaver is a chilling 3D animated graveyard complete with the sounds of pouring rain, crackling lightning, and owls hooting in the distance. The menacing dark clouds, swarming bats, and floating apparitions are ominous enough, but the blood red faces that scream and fly at you are terrifying.

Haunted House Screensaver tells the tale of the haunted Garrison home and the horrifying happenings that occurred there. Attic, bedroom, graveyard, basement, and other haunting scenes are truly disturbing. Spooky church bells ring and doors creak while macabre blood drips, lights flash, and threatening red eyes glow in dark corners. The sounds, story, and animations are spectacularly spine-tingling.

Best Part Of Fall

Guest post written by Thomas Hansen

Summer is my favorite season because I'm always out of school and have a bunch of free time to hang out with my girlfriend and sleep in late. But once fall rolls around, there is one thing that I really look forward to, the county fair.

I was talking to my girlfriend on Facebook chat with my Clearwire Wimax 4g and we were making plans about going to the fair together last week when I found a food blog talking about all the different kinds of food that they were having at county and state fairs all across the country this year. That got my girlfriend really excited about going because she loves all kinds of junk food.

When we finally got to the county fair , I think that we spent a whole lot more money on the food than we did on the tickets just to get in the fair or to get on the fair rides. But I think it was worth it because our deep fried pickles were delicious.

Wild Coyotes Living The City Life

Wild Coyotes Living The City Life

By Rosemary Cisneros

All across America coyotes are pushing their way into the big cities. Where before they could be seen only in the wild or more rural areas, now they're spotted from posh Beverly Hills to humble Tucson. Why are they moving into the cities and what can we do about it?


We're On Their Turf

As much as people would like to believe otherwise, wild animals were here long before we were. We're actually the ones who forced them out while we built our towns and roads, and they sought shelter in whatever wild areas were left and in the mountains.

A six-year study done by Ohio State University that radio-collared almost 200 coyotes in the Chicago area showed that coyotes that were born in the city actually preferred living in the urban areas rather than more rural sections. So, it seems it's not really a matter of them being forced out of their homes, they're simply moving back where they feel they belong.

Why The City?

As previously mentioned, coyotes can make themselves feel at home wherever they're born, so pups who grew up living a city life will naturally feel that it's the only place for them. Paul Krausman, a biologist at the University of Arizona stated that, “Coyotes are one of the most adaptable species on the face of the Earth.” Big cities have everything a coyote would need to survive such as a lack of predators (besides humans), plenty of food in the form of garbage that people throw away, and a good supply of water. When it comes to survival, city life is probably a lot easier than living in the wild.

Are Coyotes Dangerous?

Although a lot of people get nervous when they hear coyotes yelp and howl in the middle of the night or see them casually trot across their neighborhood streets, there's really no reason to be afraid. Mother coyotes teach their young to stay away from people, so they'll rarely attack a human. Your pets, however, might not be so safe.

Getting Rid Of The Problem

No wild animal should be considered a “problem” though it's wise to take precautions to keep your pets and smaller children safe. Some coyote safety tips are:

• Keep your pets and their food inside. Small dogs, cats, and their bowls of food are prime targets for a hungry coyote.
  
• Obey the leash law and keep your dog on a leash when walking it. Dogs are known to run off and can quickly become an easy snack for a coyote.
  
• Don't overly fill trashcans. Along with causing a mess due to tipped over trashcans, the coyotes will get used to rummaging around your home at night looking for a free meal.
  
• Don't purposely feed coyotes since this takes away their natural instinct to hunt for their own food.
  
• Avoid having birdbaths or other containers of water in your yard that coyotes can drink from.
  
• Ignore coyotes when you see them. If they get used to humans they'll be less afraid and become bolder in their hunt for food and water.

People and coyotes can be friendly neighbors if we remember the fact that they're wild animals and should be treated with respect. By taking precautions that won't inadvertently lure these wild dogs to your property and by observing a few other commonsense tactics you and your family will be safe, and humans and coyotes can live together in peace and harmony.
