How to find hidden treasures without treasure maps!
Where can you find hidden treasure? Almost anywhere. How can you find it? Here are some new ideas on that.
I was once involved in tearing down an old house. In the attic, hidden underneath the insulation, I found a glass piggy bank of old pennies. I also found a rare old magazine and a few other minor treasures.
Treasure is not always things of obvious value, though. Hidden in the walls of that house was a treasure that at the time never occurred to me: copper tubing. I later discovered that the water lines we paid to have hauled away were sold as valuable scrap by the junk man. It made me wonder what else could be “treasure,” and where else I might find it.
New Ideas On Hidden Treasure
Hidden in a warehouse in the small town where I used to live, was a mountain of old boxes. It was the leftover inventory of a wooden clock factory that had gone out of business. The owner of the clocks had let them sit there for at least ten years. Finally someone explained to him how he could sell them on Ebay, and he realized the treasure he was sitting on.
An old Mayan Indian we met at a hot spring in Arizona showed us how to find arrowheads and metates (used for grinding corn or mesquite beans) in the desert. They’re hundreds of years old. He sold one of his metates for $200 during a yard sale, but this may be illegal now. Check with authorities on this one.
I have hidden money several times in my life. Many people do. What happens when people die unexpectedly? The money and valuables they hid remain where they are until discovered. There is an estimated several billion dollars in hidden currency alone in this country, and who knows how much in silver, gold, jewelry and other things. Here are some of the places people have discovered these hidden treasures.
- Under sinks (money).
- Hidden inside the pages of books (bills).
- Buried in crawl-spaces (all sorts of treasure).
- Above ceiling tiles.
- Buried under the edges of cement patios.
- In walls behind outlet plates.
- In pump houses.
- Under floors in sheds.
- In old heating oil tanks (coins).
- Under rocks in highway rest areas.
That last one is a favorite hiding place for drug dealers and other criminals who need to hide cash fast. If they never get out of prison, or die, the money waits for a treasure hunter to find it. Sometimes you just have to look to find hidden treasure.
A backpacking checklist is usually about the “stuff.” Good equipment is nice to have, but even with the best gear you can get into trouble in the wilderness.
You might have matches and the latest fire starters, but still not be able to get that fire going. It takes more than good gear to assure a safe and enjoyable trip. Towards that end, then, this is a list of skills you should have or learn.
1. Navigation. Contrary to what many novices think, a compass doesn’t tell you where you are. For that matter, a map doesn’t either, if you don’t know how to use it. Practice close to home if you can’t yet use both of these easily. Do the same with your GPS unit.
2. Staying warm. There are tricks to staying warm. Shed layers as you get warm, for example, so you don’t have sweat to chill you later. Use wind-blocking shell clothing, and wear a hat. Eating fatty foods before sleeping can keep you warmer.
3. Pitching a tent. Pitch your tent or tarp wrong and the rain will come in, or the wind will tear the seams. They need to be pitched tight, and you should be able to do it in a few minutes. Practice in the yard.
4. Cooking over a fire. Making soup over a small fire is not as easy as it seems. Cover the pan, block the wind, and keep the fire small and concentrated. Time yourself when you practice. You don’t have to rush normally, but speed can be important in some situations, and it’s always possible your stove will break.
5. Identifying edible plants. Learning to identify three or four wild edible berries can make a trip more enjoyable. Learning to identify cattails and one or two other good survival food plants can be very helpful, especially if you ever lose your food to a bear.
6. Walking. If you pace yourself and learn how to move comfortably over rocky terrain, you’ll be less tired, and less likely to twist an ankle. Tighten those laces, too.
7. Understanding animals. Is the bear “bluff charging” or stalking you? The latter means you’ll be the bear’s supper if you play dead. A clue: making a lot of noise usually means he just wants to frighten you (a “bluff charge”), but you need to read up on this one.
8. Sky reading. Are those just clouds, or a lightning storm coming? It would be good to know when you’re on a high ridge. In the rockies, afternoon thunderstorms are the norm in summer. Learn about the weather patterns of an area, and the basics of predicting weather, and you’ll be a lot safer.
9. Basic first aid. What are the symptoms of hypothermia? Stumbling and slurred speech are a couple of them. How do you properly treat blisters? You can use duct tape if you don’t have moleskin. These and other basics are good things to know.
10. Firemaking. Start practicing in your yard. Try to start that fire with one match. Also try it the next time it’s raining. Get in the habit of collecting dry tinder before the rain comes. Learn what things burn even when wet, like birch bark and pine sap.
This last one can be one of the more important skills in an emergency. Experts can start a fire in almost any circumstances, but you don’t need to be an expert in wilderness survival to enjoy a safe hiking trip. For a safer, more enjoyable trip, just do the best you can, and start checking off the skills on this backpacking checklist.
Getting signed to an established label isn’t easy. There are thousands of talented acts out there, all fighting for a few open slots. This means if you want to be chosen, you can’t hold back.
You’ve got to do everything to make the right impression and stand-out from the crowd. One of the most vital (yet often overlooked) parts of doing this is professional mastering.
You can think of mastering as the “Polish” that makes your music sparkle. It’s what gives your music the professional, “Big label” sound by bringing-out the best in it.
And this is vital. Because when the A & R manager has a big stack of demos to go through, he or she is going to give very few of them a serious listen. Some are going to get dumped on the spot based on first impressions.
=>Want to make thousands of beats without needing to be a professional musician or have any experience? We made it super user friendly to make your own beats and you won’t believe the quality of the sounds we packed it with. Click here!
While, others are going to fail to grab his or her full attention. Moreover, even if you are the most talented artist on the managers’ desk, that does NOT mean he or she is going to realize it… because your demo just did not stand-out enough when stacked-up against those of better quality.
You see, mastering communicates that you’re a serious act… and, as a result, encourages those listening to give your music the deep look it deserves.
It does this by:
• Making all the sounds cohesive,
• Increasing the loudness to grab attention,
• Bringing-out the right instruments or vocals in the best amounts,
• Helping to eliminate or reduce errors (that can occurr during the recording and mixing),
• Plus, much more depending on what you and the mastering engineer feel the songs need. In other words, mastering gives your music that little extra edge you need to get signed… because it allows you to be pictured as a successful act. And this is what the key to getting signed is all about.
The label must see you as an investment that is going to pay-off quickly and easily without a lot of effort. Mastering paints this picture and helps get you a deal so as many people as possible get to experience your music long into the future.
With that said, you should also keep in mind that there is a world of difference between a professional mastering engineer and an amateur. A professional knows what to listen for, the exact adjustments that need to be made (as the wrong ones can ruin the music), and has the equipment to do a serious job.
You should not expect a “Big label” sound by doing it yourself on a home computer or by hiring an amateur who doesn’t fully understand the aspects of “real” mastering.

There’s lots of reasons parents are baking with their kids these days.
The delicious result is of course on the list. But more importantly, baking with children is a great way to spend time with them and to teach them things at the same time you’re all having fun.
Baking cookies with any or all of your children is a naturally fun activity. Cookies are portable, sweet and fun to make. They can be made in stages if time is tight-prepare the dough in the evening and bake them the next morning.
Older children can read the recipe and direct adults on what steps to take. Small children can roll the dough into balls and flatten it with a fork, similar to making peanut butter cookies.
There’s enough fun to go around for everyone. What makes your cookies even better is to add corn starch to the dough. In fact, many recipes for baked goods from the early 20th century used corn starch in conjunction with flour. Bakers found very early on that corn starch gave biscuits, muffins, cakes, shortcakes, pie crusts and most notably cookies a finer texture and more tender crumb when compared to recipes using flour alone.
Recipe books produced then by the experts at Argo and Kingsford’s Corn Starch bear this out.
In fact, Argo, established in 1892, has offered their customers cookie recipes since its very early years.
Here’s a recipe for Lemon Shortbread Cookies that’s simple and delicious and should make for a batch of family fun.
Lemon Shortbread Cookies 11/3 cups
Argo or Kingsford’s Corn Starch 2 cups
butter or margarine 2/3 cup
powdered sugar 1 teaspoon
finely shredded lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
Makes six dozen
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, beat butter until softened.
Add powdered sugar, beat until well combined.
Add lemon peel and vanilla; beat well.
In a medium bowl, stir together flour and corn starch;
add to mixture and beat well.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls (kids will love this).
Place on ungreased cookie sheets.
Press tines of a fork atop each ball to make subtle design.
Bake about 15 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned.
Cool on wire racks.
There is nothing worse than going to a restaurant knowing the entrée you are going to order is not good for you but not being able to stop yourself. Everyone faces this dilemma and falls victim to the delicious greasy burger or chicken pasta covered in butter and fatty sauces.
Now you can turn your favorite dishes into healthy restaurant recipes.

Really, you could make requests to turn those dishes into healthy recipes at the restaurant. However, special requests are not always granted and can actually result in a special delivery from the cook that you did not ask for. The better way to go is find the recipe you desire online and transform it into the healthy meal that can save you the calories and cholesterol.
The first way to turn your entrée into a healthy meal is to broil your fish or meat. This is a better alternative to cooking it on the grill and leaving it rare dripping with blood and grease. In addition to broiling the meat, make sure you do not drench it with extra butter. A little on the top never hurt, but it is the excessive amount that will kill you.
If you are going to go with mashed potatoes or a baked potato to compliment the main entrée, the benefit of cooking at home is that you can give it the special healthy restaurant recipes touch. Instead of settling for a baked potato that is covered in butter, sour cream, and cheese, you can build the toppings yourself with a teaspoon of margarine and low-calorie sour cream. Healthy does not have to be disgusting, but you do have to make some sacrifices.
Everyone loves the delectable sauces and gravy that cover various items that are served in restaurants. However, these facets of the meal are extremely unhealthy for you.
This does not mean you have to completely rid them of your life, but cutting down the dose can do you good. Instead of plastering your entrée and sides with gravy and sauce, create a smaller portion and place it on the side in a bowl for you to lightly dip food items in.

Healthy restaurant recipes are not going to come with high-fat dressings that cover your salad. While a salad is healthy a smart addition to your meal, it does you no good when covered in fatty toppings. But if you create the meal from home, you can go with low-fat dressings, vinegar, or a dash of oil or squeezed lemon.
The final thing to remember is to not bread of fry any of your food whenever possible. You can splurge once every couple of weeks to reward yourself for eating so well. Just remember that fried and breaded food adds a tremendous amount of fat.
The beauty of cooking from home is that you can transform regular restaurant recipes into healthy restaurant recipes thanks to the amount of control you have in the kitchen. Start enjoying your favorite restaurant meals from home the healthy way.

Magicians have their secrets but they won’t tell. It’s a sworn oath for magicians not to tell the audience how a trick is done.
There are 3 secrets though that they’ve shared all throughout the years. Here are their 3 secrets.
The first secret is that some tricks are done through sleight of hand. These are ways with which they skillfully hide an object and make it reappear on another hand. New magicians hide things up their sleeves. Those are old tricks and very few used them now.
Sleights of hand require a lot of practice to master. Beginners of magic use specially created gimmicks to create the illusion. Professional magicians make use of their impressive sleight of hand. It requires a lot of time, patience and hand coordination to fully understand and do.
Another secret is the art of misdirection. See this blank paper? And as audience looks at the blank paper, he is carefully getting another piece with his other hand. This is misdirection. Another type of misdirection is the kind that doesn’t let the audience see what’s really causing the tricks.
You might have seen that a magician has a lot of assistants who also do incredible stuff, but what you didn’t know is that they are helping the magician perform the magic just with their presence.
Another kind of misdirection is the appropriate use of words. For example, a magician will tell you to look at the ‘empty’ box. We tend to look at the box as empty just because he said it. This causes our mind to wonder when the magician gets a rabbit out of it.
Misdirection takes a lot of practice and lots of time in planning. It requires body coordination (one body doing something while the other is doing another thing) and quick thinking. Misdirection is an art and magicians are proud of it.
Another secret is their patter or a magician’s constant talk. Misdirection is achieved mostly because of patter. The magician will ask you to look at his right hand and as you are looking, you won’t notice what his left hand is doing. This is a really clever way to achieve the illusion that what happens next becomes so magical with the wink of an eye.
Patter usually takes the form of a story, where a magician will tell you of something that happened to him someday. Sometimes it’s so funny that we actually forget to look at what their hands are doing or what their assistants are giving them.
