Golf Laser Rangefinder Product Comparion - Bushnell vs. Callaway Nikon
Bushnell PinSeeker 1500 with slope
Bushnell has a 90% share of the market in golf rangefinders and with good reason - the quality and accuracy of their products is well known.
Released in 2006, the PinSeeker 1500 w/slope takes virtually all of the guesswork out of the game of golf. In the slope mode, this rangefinder will not only tell you the distance to an object, but how your shot will play.
For example, if you are on a 150 yard par three and it is uphill, this rangefinder will tell you, "Hey, it's 150 yards to the green, but since it is uphill, it is going to play more like 165 - so use more club, you dummy!" Well, the slope won't insult you like that, but you get the picture!
With several scan modes and fully, multi coated optics, you will easily be able to judge the distance to any object on the course - at a range of to 1,500 yards (that is almost a mile - enough power even for John Daly!). The only downfall of the slope version is that is not legal for USGA tournament play.
Bushnell PinSeeker 1500 Tournament Edition
This is the rangefinder that 90% of PGA Tour Pro's use. The reason why? This version is legal for tournament play and is still the best rangefinder on the market for it's price.
It features several scan modes, multi coated optics, and a 1,500 yard range. The only difference between the tournament and slope version is that the tournament edition does not have slope (and thus is legal for tournament play.
Bushnell PinSeeker Medalist
The Medalist is new for 2007 and is also legal for tournament play. It employs the same PinSeeker technology as the 1500 for better shot making and course management on any course, to virtually any object anywhere, any time of day. We prefer the Medalist over the 1500 because at $299.95 it is affordable and is smaller than either of the 1500's. Features both PinSeeker and scan modes and has a range of up to 1,000 yards.
Callaway LR 1200
The Callaway (made by Nikon) LR 1200 Rangefinder is the flagship model of the Callaway lineup. It provides quick and accurate distance measurement up to 1,200 yards, and features what Callaway calls "First Target Priority Mode". First Target Priority mode displays the range to the nearest target among multiple results obtained with a single measurement - useful when measuring the distance to a pin on a green with woods in the background. The LR 1200 features an LCD display with backlight - something the Bushnell rangefinders do not.
Callaway LR 800
The Callaway (by Nikon) LR 800 Rangefinder provides quick and accurate distance measurement up to 800 yards and also features First Target Technology. Range is up to 800 yards and the LR 800 also features an LCD display with backlight.

Insurance Agent Marketing - Escape the Lead Avalanche
Leads. Every insurance agent needs an inflow of qualified insurance leads. No matter how big your current book of business, attrition will surely erode it. People move, pass away, or--heaven forbid--find another agent for their insurance needs.
Of course, you know a key component of your insurance marketing plan must be the ongoing retention of your clients. It's vital for you, as a top-producing insurance agent, to keep frequent contact with your current customer base.
But, no matter how skilled your efforts at marketing insurance products to your customers, there is simply no way retention efforts alone can sustain a healthy agency's growth incline.
You need new clients.
And that means you need to source insurance leads.
Don't fall into the trap so many insurance agents do--avalanche. Agents are extremely busy people. Like most salespeople, agents tend to prospect heavily and discover several new clients, then back off on the prospecting efforts.
Avalanches tend to bury people. If a person feels inundated with new business to write, then it's critical to keep prospecting.
Yet this is just when many insurance agents stop prospecting altogether. The agent becomes buried under a snow of new business, and so makes the seemingly rational choice that a client in the hand is worth two in the bush; and so focuses exclusively on the new business.
This is the avalanche trap. You're buried with new business because you've been prospecting hard. But, you're too busy to follow up leads. And the leads are piling up and you keep paying for more and pretty soon you simply stop buying the leads.
And then you write all the current business and follow-up with the leads and at the end of the day you are just too busy to prospect.
Avalanches bury agents alive...they think they have a good month based on sales, when in reality they let dozens of opportunities pass them by.
But, as we'll see in another article, right at the start of the avalanche is precisely when lead-generation systems must take over for you.

Is Wireless Internet Technology Bad For Your Health?
What is WiFi?
It is possible to form a somewhat informed opinion on the safety or potential risks of this new technology without actually being a physicist yourself.
Quite simply, Wi-Fi is the wireless technology most commonly used to connect people to the Internet in schools, coffee shops, hotels and other network locations, or to connect cell phone users to one another. Wi-Fi is certainly convenient for travelers and students, but is it dangerous? Many believe that the low-level electromagnetic waves that radiate from the wireless Internet source to each individual user can be harmful to your health, even causing cellular changes and possibly cancer in some cases.
The area covered by a WiFi Internet connection is known as a "hotspot"; this is the area in which the waves radiate to give users access to the world wide web. It can span several kilometers, although the waves cannot pass through treed areas. While in the hotspot, a laptop user can simply connect to the network, access the Internet, and check their Email or do their other business on the run.
A wireless network uses radio waves to send communications across a two-way network. A computer's wireless adapter translates the Internet connection data into a radio wave and sends it to the wireless router - the one in your laptop. This process works in reverse as well, sending a radio signal back to the host computer.
Hotspots Useful Stations or Environmental Hazards?
Some report an unusual sensitivity to the waves emitted in these hotspots. Officially, the levels of WiFi electromagnetic radiation emitted into the environment in a hotspot are well below recommended levels and there is no evidence of any risk to humans. Yet some people blame WiFi exposure for everything from sleep disturbances, headaches and blurred vision, to heart and breathing problems.
Because no study has ever shown a conclusive risk to human health from exposure to these low-frequency radio transmissions, many simply shrug off the complaints of these people, choosing to believe their symptoms are coincidental or caused by another source.
So just how high are the levels of radiation in a hotspot? According to Dr. Michael Clark of the HPA, the published research on mobile phones and wireless networks does not indicate a risk to human health. "All the expert reviews done here and abroad indicate that there is unlikely to be a health risk from wireless networks" he says. "The few studies on cellular phone masts that have appeared in peer-reviewed journals claiming to observe health effects are not at all conclusive. The real problem is deciding what level of precaution is appropriate.
"When we have conducted measurements in schools, typical exposures from wifi are around 20 millionths of the international guideline levels of exposure to radiation. As a comparison, a child on a mobile phone receives up to 50% of guideline levels. So a year sitting in a classroom near a wireless network is roughly equivalent to 20 minutes on a mobile. If wi-fi should be taken out of schools, then the mobile phone network should be shut down, too - and FM Radio and TV, as the strength of their signals is similar to that from wi-fi in classrooms."
