Tiger By The Tail?
Who could not see this coming after watching Tiger Woods have a less than spectacular 1st round 74 in Augusta at The Masters? To watch the next couple of rain soaked days on Friday and Saturday we started to see the brilliance of Tiger. Upon seeing what was a partial 3rd round on Saturday to be finished up this morning I figured Tiger would be even or 1 to 2 back.
To even my surprise I awoke this morning to see the mastery that is Tiger Woods. With everyone wondering what has happened to Tiger Woods’ game; I guess the answer is, nothing.
In true Tiger Woods fashion by making the impossible looks routine; he is a man among boys. When his game is on there is nothing that can get in his way as seen by his 3rd round play.

How to Choose a Cut of Meat
Here is a great post from EHow
| There are really only two cuts of meat: tough and tender. Tough cuts of meat contain the muscle, which requires braising or stewing to become tender; tender cuts demand quick cooking to retain their texture and seal in their flavor. Look for high-quality cuts of whatever type of meat you are buying. |
|
 |
Steps: |
| 1. | Choose a grade of meat. |
| 2. | Beef is divided into five grades based on fat content, marbling and quality. Look for select (the least amount of fat; sold in grocery stores), choice (fattier than select, leaner than prime), and prime (the well-marbled cuts high-end restaurants serve, fattier but also more flavorful). The lowest two grades of inferior meat, commercial and utility, aren’t typically sold in grocery stores, and home cooks and aspiring chefs should avoid them. |
| 3. | Lamb is usually sold as choice in grocery stores and has a purple U.S. Department of Agriculture inspection stamp to signify that it came from a healthy animal. |

EyeTrack, learn how to set up your site more effectively
This is an older article I had sitting up in the attic to post on. Years ago I studies Menu Design for restaurants. If you place your most profitable items in certain places on the menu, people would order them more often. When people look at a menu, they typically follow the same pattern. Top left, Bottom Left, Top Right, Bottom Right. And they tend to linger at top right the longest.
People also follow patterns when reading web pages.
This is the typically how people read a news web page.
Read the whole article here if you are interested in this combination of technology and psychology. If you have a business website, the knowledge may help you and your company.
My favorite quote from the article was this.
The Eyetrack III researchers discovered something important when testing headline and type size on homepages: Smaller type encourages focused viewing behavior (that is, reading the words), while larger type promotes lighter scanning.
Maybe I should shrink the type even more.
