How to Effectively Set Up a Dartboard at Home

2010-03-19T07:34:00.000-07:00

The great thing about darts is that anyone can buy a dartboard, put it up indoors and start playing straight away. However you will get most enjoyment and satisfaction out of playing this great sport from the comfort of your own home by following a few simple guidelines.

First of all you should make sure that you place the board at the correct height. If it's not in the right place then you will struggle to play very well when you play on a dartboard that's the correct height, so this is very important. To help you out, you should ensure that the centre of the bullseye is 1.73 metres (or 5 feet 8 inches) from the floor.

Similarly you want to ensure that you are throwing from the correct distance, ie 2.37 metres (or 7 feet 9 1/4 inches). This is the distance from the face of the board (if you were to draw a line down to the floor) to the oche, not from the wall to the oche.

The easiest way to do this is to simply buy a darts mat because you simply roll them onto the floor and they automatically have the correct markings on them. They may also come with an oche attached so therefore you know you will always be throwing darts from the correct distance.

Another thing you want to do is to protect your surrounding wall. You may think that you couldn't possibly miss the board completely, but sadly it happens to the best of us, particularly when going for some of the trickier doubles. Therefore if you want to avoid having to look at a wall full of holes, you should either place some cardboard behind the board or invest in a cabinet or a dartboard surround. I personally think the surround is the best solution to this particular problem.

One final thing you may want to do is to invest in a darts scorer. Even though you may spend a great deal of time playing by yourself, you will still save lots of time by using an electronic scorer to calculate your scores for you. Furthermore you can also use them to work out what your three dart average is, which is always very useful because you can then monitor your performance and see whether or not you are improving.

So to sum up, if you do decide to set up your own dartboard at home, you should make sure that you use the correct measurements, use protection to prevent any holes from appearing in your wall, and invest in a darts scorer to make your games flow quicker and make them a lot more enjoyable.

Christmas Time Gifts for the Guy Who Wants Nothing

2010-03-19T07:32:00.000-07:00

I know the holidays can be stressful. There are always a few guys in your life that are impossible to buy for. You have bought them enough shirts, blank VHS tapes, and CD's to last a lifetime. You need some new ideas that will get him excited and looking forward to your gift next year. Well, that's what we're here for. Now, what to get him? Sure, you could get him that new iPod nano or maybe the Xbox 360 (If you can find one!), but there are other options that will be both creative and practical.

The best gift ideas usually will play into that "guy stereotype". I have found that the gifts I've enjoyed the most are not necessarily the ones that are the most expensive or flashiest. It might be something that I'd never buy for myself. For instance, clothes are a safe bet for a guy. Who doesn't need clothes? Its practical, but at the same time its kind of boring. Electronics? Good luck picking that out for him! With all those choices and all those different models who knows what the best option is. Plus, it will probably be obsolete in a few months anyways.

What I've found is the best present is something that the person will not necessarily buy for himself. A perfect example is the really really nice dartboard for his basement. Maybe its a foosball table for when his buddies come over. Another idea would be a cornhole (or bean bags, corn toss, or baggo) set with his alma-mater's logo right on the boards. Think about something that would fit a "guy room" in the house and buy something that he might not buy himself. A safe bet is something with his favorite team. Its something that will last and something that you could point to when you are around and say "Yep, that's my present". Going outside of the norm will definitely get you some style points!

Hopefully these are some ideas that will make your shopping a little easier! Best of luck and Happy Holidays!

Basement Renovation

2010-03-19T07:31:00.000-07:00

A finished basement can be a great place where you can entertain your family and friends by putting in a recreation room which includes a pool table, ping pong table, pinball machine, and/or dartboard.

Before a basement renovation you should:

1. Look for basement foundation cracks. Hairline cracks in the basement can be the fault of improper curing where as large cracks are most likely caused by settling. Both can be repaired with hydraulic cement if the crack is not active i.e. whatever caused the crack is no longer an existing problem. If the basement crack is still active then the crack patching may be re-opened later.

2. Look for basement moisture problems. Moisture problems may be tough to fix. Water is persistent and can make its way through the basement walls that are considered permeable. An easy way to test water problems is to tape a piece of aluminum foil to various places on the basement walls and floors. Seal the edges of the foil tightly and leave in place for several days. After several days, if moisture droplets appear beneath the foil then moisture is going through the basement masonry. If the moisture appears on top of the foil, the problem is condensation from basement humidity. Look for other water problems by looking in the underside of the basement's first subflooring for signs of leaks. Fix any faulty pipes and fixtures. Look for brownish stains on the basement subfloor and sides of the basement joists. This will indicate active or an old leak that has been repaired. If the stain is spongy, an active leak exists.

Basement renovation planning is key to the success of your basement. For instance, if you decide you want a wetbar and/or bathroom, you will need to have the plumbing done first. This would be a top priority because the plumbing usually goes beneath the cement floor. After the plumbing is completed, you need to plan and install the electric which may include hiring a certified electrician. Your plans should include enough electrical outlets, telephone lines and cable hook-ups. These will be used for your television(s), lamp(s), computer(s), electronic games, and a computer modem. Once installed, you must decide on paneling, dry walling, or painting to cover your cement walls. Although paneling might be cheaper, the refined look of drywall makes it the material of choice for finished spaces. Paneling can look dated and does not always last long.

The next phase in your plans should be the stairwell. Some professionals suggest you should open up the stairwell and install a banister because a basement typically features stairwells that are enclosed. By opening up the basement stairwell you remove some of the basement like atmosphere. Some designers would like to see the doorways of the basement widened and employ arches and columns to dress them up. Examples include French Doors for privacy or a partial separator using decorative glass to add elegance to the basement room.

When looking at windows, if applicable, add as many as you can. Basements tend to be dark and gloomy but with more natural light it becomes a better and well lit area. If windows are very limited, look into security and use glass block windows. When it comes to artificial lighting, the choices are fluorescent lights, table lights, floor lamps and ceiling lights. If your budget allows, stay away from the fluorescent lighting since it is not the most appealing in design.

When installing the ceiling, stay away from suspended ceilings because they make the basement look like a basement. Consider using tray ceilings. When choosing the color for painting, use a light, bright, or dramatic color scheme. With these colors, you can turn that dark gloomy basement into a room that opens and brightens.

The basement floor is always cold since it is in direct contact with the ground. Look at having a subfloor between the concrete and flooring space. This will make it a warmer and dryer living area and a smooth surface for your carpet or flooring of your choosing. If a subfloor is not in your plans and you are using carpet, get plenty of padding to put under the carpet. Try to have a storage room added, maybe around the sump and furnace area. This would be convenient for all those things that can't be thrown out. Think about adding shelves to this room to keep it fairly organized.

To control noise, have thick wall to wall carpeting and a high quality pad can absorb much of the sound. You can use sound deadening material below any underlayment or subfloor. This is nice especially if the basement is used for a bedroom or office. An easy way to reduce noise is by installation of thick insulation between ceiling joists.

In below-ground basement renovations, should you want to add a kitchen or bath you can tie into the plumbing system that is in place above. You can buy toilets and lavatories that are specifically designed for below grade applications.

After your basement renovation are complete, start adding the "toys" that will make it an enjoyable area where you get away from it all.

Customer Service - More Than 100 Surefire Ways to Lose Your Customers

2010-03-19T07:28:00.000-07:00

Some people are saying that customer service is the pits these days with surly sales people leading the way. Just in case you haven't conceived of every method to further alienate your clientele, we have come up with a list of ideas that are certain to drive customers away from your business. With tongue firmly planted in cheek, we offer the following tips to you:

Customer Service in General:

1. A closed mouth gathers no foot...speak boldly!

2. When the only customer service tools you have to work with is an axe, you will have hours filled with fun.

3. Try to come to an amicable conclusion...the place where you and the customer both got tired of arguing.

4. An irate customer is its own reward. Make someone's day.

5. Freely and frequently tell customers that you HATE your job.

6. Only provide one-word answers when customers ask questions.

7. If you're having a bad day, the quickest way to feel better is to take out your frustration on a customer.

8. Your day is not complete until you've sent yet another customer running away.

9. Pass the buck to another coworker; you're not in the mood to deal with this customer right now.

10. Creating some inaccuracy can save a world of explanation, ahem.

11. Best customer service award goes to: the one with the subtle blend of psychology and extreme violent behavior.

12. Make sure you try to upsell another product to the customer, no matter how much they argue they don't need it. You never know, they may not realize they could use something they didn't want until it was forced on them, and your commissions will go up!

13. If the shoe fits, beat the customer senseless with it.

14. Nope, nope, we can't alter that service for you, that's the way we do things here. Yes, I know we could probably DO it, but that's our policy, no alterations of any kind to the services for customers.

15. Act as distant and indifferent as possible to the customer; they'll eventually go away, I promise.

16. Ready?! Aim......FIRE!

17. Make it your policy to take pictures of customers that lodge a complaint. Then post them on the front door and use them as target practice for your dartboard gaming. That will surely slow down the complaints you receive.

18. When a customer asks where your blue widgets are, do NOT make eye contact, and simply mumble something under your breath. If they persist, just quickly point in its direction, but don't make the mistake of raising your head and looking their way or you're doomed; you'll be stuck with having to actually SHOW them where they are.

19. If you can't beat the customers, arrange to have them beaten.

20. Everything is an interruption. Someone comes into your store, it's an interruption. When the phone rings, it's an interruption. If a customer is in front of your face, it's an interruption. Heavy sigh. Everything these days is a bloody interruption!

21. If you're the acting manager, it's easy to duck out the back door if there's an irate customer making a complaint. They can't make a complaint to the manager if the manager isn't there, right?

22. When a customer is lodging a complaint, argue the matter in hand from YOUR standpoint, not theirs. Stand your ground!

23. It's not losing the argument that matters...it's how many you take down with you that counts.

24. Give the customer a very vague time frame of when they can receive delivery of the widget they ordered or when you'll arrive for their service call from somewhere between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Tuesday. Now for the fun part...don't show up, and don't call to let them know!

25. Don't deal with a complaint with reality. No one does. Deal with your OWN reality.

26. If you believe your customers are a pain in the butt, TELL them!

27. When the customer is wrong, they're dead wrong. TELL them!

28. Your Point of Sale Poster at an electronics store reads: Don't ask us to change the channel... the TV is for OUR enjoyment, not YOURS.

29. If you can't dazzle the customer with brilliance, riddle them with bullets.

30. Argue long enough to get the last word, and you just might get it!

31. Repetitive arguing with a customer will eventually establish your validity.

32. Tell the customer the item they want is in stock when it isn't, and quickly charge their order to their credit card. It will get restocked sooner or later...just put off their calls until it arrives, and you've made a quick sale! It's also hilarious fun to think of them checking their mailboxes each day for weeks on end with anticipation of its arrival.

33. Defeat to a customer ain't bitter if you can sprinkle them with a little dirty revenge.

34. Use voice mail on your telephone system with the option for customer service to 'press 2'. Have a canned recording for the customer to leave a message for screening purposes. Just don't return the complaint calls.

35. Our company's Mission Statement has been revised. Our goal is to see how many customers we can piss off this month.

36. If all else fails, blame the customer!

37. State that they're calling you a bitch like as if it was a bad thing.

38. When someone asks to speak to a manager, tell them none are available.

39. You can be one of those bad things that happens to good people.

40. Provide different store policies and services throughout your store that conflicts just to confuse people.

41. A good scapegoat is hard to find...do your earnest to find yours.

42. An argument long winded enough will end up in semantics.

43. When all else fails, mumble.

44. Anyone can admit they were wrong...the true test is not admitting it to anyone!

45. Be the best at talking in circles, for you shall be known as the 'big wheel'.

46. Tell the customer you didn't say it was their fault...you said you were going to blame them.

47. Inform the customer they have the right to remain silent. Anything they say will be misquoted then used against them.

The Customer Service Counter:

48. To hell with calm and rational discussion with customers over refunds...now is the time for shameless bickering!

49. Sign at customer service desk: Thank you for not annoying us more than you already are.

50. What part of our policy for things not covered for returns -- 1) changing your mind; 2) found cheaper price; 3) things you didn't need but you couldn't resist the price -- do you not understand?!

51. Sign at customer service counter: I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandmother...not screaming and yelling like the customers I shot yesterday.

52. Let's see...we've got your name, address, rank and serial number, home number, cell phone number, your mother's maiden name...oh yes, we still need...

53. Guaranteed your money back...if we feel like it.

54. Sign at customer service desk: If you can read this, you are within aim range...oops, I mean in proper file formation.

55. Sign at customer service: Don't get me mad...I'm running out of places to bury the bodies.

56. Never underestimate the power of stupidity when you're the customer service manager.

57. There is always one person in the customer service department that understands and works well with people. This person must be fired.

58. Tell the customer you're sorry to hear they're unhappy. Now follow through the process of closing their account. You'll never have to be bothered by them again!

59. When a customer brings back an item for return that you sent them in error, try to talk them into keeping it. If they flatly refuse, try to talk them into splitting the cost of re-stocking the item.

60. Make the customer angry enough in a manner to make them happy to be leaving. At that point you've done your job!

61. Sign at customer service counter: Bring on the customer return beheadings!

How to Anger a Customer Even Further:

62. When a customer makes a complaint, just give them a blank stare. If that doesn't work, give them attitude. It will work every time!

63. Throw the customer a stick and ask them to go away.

64. Show the customer you can get even madder than they are, and yell louder than they can.

65. Take on a bad attitude. It will surely diminish any façade of friendliness the customer may have mistakenly taken.

66. State if you agreed with them you'd both be wrong.

67. Keep looking at your watch while the customer is vocalizing their complaint.

68. Treat the customer like they're a waste receptacle. End of that story.

69. Tell the customer you've fixed the problem. But don't do anything...at ALL.

70. Explain that just because you don't care about their problem doesn't mean you don't understand.

71. State you're there to help them out, then ask which way they came in.

72. Tell the customer you're busy and they're not the only one waiting.

73. Tell them you refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.

74. Tell the customer the way you see it, there doesn't seem to be any problem.

75. Explain that their warrantee expired upon payment of their invoice.

76. Keep talking until the customer finally stops listening.

77. Tell the customer to commit suicide and be done with it. After all, millions of lemmings can't be wrong.

78. Inform the customer that this is the best time for them to just shut up.

79. State that you'll try to be nicer if they'll try to be smarter.

80. Sarcasm is just one of the many good services we offer.

Ways to Handle Telephone Calls:

81. Sorry, I can't take your order...I'm on lunch break.

82. Throw the customer on hold before they can squeak out 'Hello'. Now you can take that much desired coffee break.

83. If you have an angry customer on the phone; don't waste your time with it...simply hang up!

84. Throw a big wad of gum in your mouth when answering the phone...remember to chew with your mouth open. That goes for eating your lunch while answering phones as well.

85. Tell the customer to call back when you're not so busy.

86. Rush through calls, forcing customers off the phone at the earliest opportunity.

87. Slam the receiver in the customers' ear when you hang up to break their eardrums, or drop the receiver on the floor while talking to them. Even a good couple of whacks on a desk with the receiver in hand during conversation should suffice.

88. Tell the customer 'that's not my department, call back and ask for someone else to help you'.

89. Try waiting to see how long a customer will sit on hold before they finally hang up and go away.

90. Tell the customer they're going to have to repeat their information; you're only the third person they've had to speak to thus far.

91. Tell the customer that someone will be calling them back within 1 hour. But don't follow through with it whatever you do!

Courier Service Companies:

92. Flipping the bird in traffic and making rude gestures while you've got your company logo and phone number on the vehicle.

93. Drive in reverse to the receiving door and slam on the brakes and watch it fly...'Here's your delivery! We don't do hand bombing!'

94. Sure, we're available 365 / 24 / 7 to serve you...just don't call us after 2pm or on weekends.

95. God help the customers today...our dispatcher quit smoking last night.

96. You want it when? Then laugh out loud when they answer.

97. Here's our rate sheet...de jour.

98. We only have 1 truck today...you'll have to pay tractor trailer rates for that skid.

99. Sorry, the driver had a flat tire...again.

100. Sorry, we don't take envelopes on Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays...only high paying jobs.

101. Open unmarked small brown paper packages, then deliver to customer. Then make comments on their contents.

102. One tequila...two tequila...three tequila...floor.

At Restaurants:

103. If you're the waiter and a customer complains about their food, make sure to instill the fear of what the cook (or you for that matter) can do with their food when they send it back...you know what I mean. They'll think twice about following through with that complaint!

104. Be a ghost. Only appear to their table when you can't escape the customers' sight. When you finally get around to giving them their bill, give them someone else's with a much higher total. Cha-ching $$$.

105. Strike up an argument with the customer as to why they didn't give you a fatter tip...you deserve better!

At the Checkout Counter:

106. Be sure to turn your back on the customer standing at the till and do spill ALL about the great time you had at that party last night to your coworker. Don't forget to tell your friend about that awesome outfit you wore to the party either.

107. Your Point of Sale Poster at the checkout counter reads: If you like us, tell us. If you don't, don't tell US your problems.

108. How do I set my cash register on stun?

Miscellaneous Customer Service:

109. Customer stress is waking up screaming, then realizing you haven't gone to sleep yet.

110. If you can't beat your customer in an argument, try kickboxing.

111. Deja moo: The feeling you've heard this customer bull before.

112. An armed sales rep equals one very polite customer.

Have you had enough? Likely, your customers have! In all seriousness, customer service doesn't have to be that bad, but it is easy to see how easily it can degenerate. The next time you feel like "dissing" those who support your business, then reference this article for a "your wake up call".

Making An Affordable Game Room

2010-03-19T07:26:00.001-07:00

Having an extra room in your house is like a dream come true. You can turn that extra room into a game room, where you can play pool and many other games with your friends and family. Although buying a great amount of sports equipment can sometimes be on the expensive side, making an affordable game room is pretty easy.

A must have in any game room is a pool table, so everyone can get together and play a great game of pool. A pool table can be purchased from either major department stores or sports specialty stores, and can even be found online through discount pool stores. Pool tables can be purchased in a number of different colors, making it easy to coordinate it to your game room. You can go with the classic green pool table like those found in most tournaments, or decide on another color like red, blue, or black.

Additional accessories for your pool table and game room can also be purchased at online discount stores. In order to make your game room fun for everyone, make sure you buy enough pool sticks for everyone to join in. You can also purchase decorative cue balls, which will impress your guests and make the game so much more fun. Some sites even offer starter or accessory kits, making it possible to get almost anything you need to make your new pool room the new place to hang out. Bar stools also add a great look to almost any game room, and they can be found in a number of different styles. You can theme your room by buying stools with cue balls on them, or try for a different look that may suit your room better. If you don't like the stool idea, make sure to include some type of furniture since some like to sit down in-between turns.

Because a pool table cannot make a room into a game room, additional accessories should be purchased. You can look for sports pictures for the walls, or even a tiki bar for a little fun. Neon wall lights are always a crowd pleaser, and you should be able to find them at various specialty stores online. You can include video games or other electronic equipment, but it may not be necessary if your guests are all fans of pool.

A dartboard on a wall will add a nice touch, giving the others something to do when it is not their turn. You can include a small fridge if you like, or maybe just a cooler with drinks. Because there are many different discount specialty stores that can be found online, it does not have to be expensive to make a great game room with a pool table. It only takes a few decorations along with a pool table and accessories, and you will be able to have the new cool hangout spot for you and all of your friends.

The Electronic Dart Board Is Great For The Home

2010-03-04T01:10:00.000-08:00

The electronic dart board just gets better and better. The original boards came out in the 1990's and caused a lot of controversy at the time that still goes on today. The purists hate them saying it isn't "proper darts", but no one can deny their popularity. The big advantages are that the electronic game is safer and a lot more convenient than the traditional game. The darts have plastic tips so they are less dangerous and are much less likely to put holes in your wall and I think most of us appreciate the automatic scoring, especially for the Cricket game

There are now two types of electronic dart board around, the standard board with hundreds of holes in it and the new so called "BristleTech" board, which is similar to the standard bristle boards so you can use both steel tip darts and soft tips, and it still has the electronics to do all the scoring for you as well. This is truly the best of both worlds and is surely the way of the future.

The best example of this new technology is the Halex Armada BristleTech board with a laser toe line built in as well! So not only does it enable you to play with both types of darts it marks out the throw line for you with a laser, how cool is that! So both types of darts players can make use of this board. Who knows, the electronic boards may be used in the big tournaments like the Las Vegas Classic before long.

There are standard wall mounted boards and the arcade style that doesn't need to be set up, as they are free standing and the board is already mounted for you at the correct height. (Great! no drilling) The latest electronic dart boards are relatively cheap, at a starting price of around $50 to $300 for the all singing, all dancing arcade types.

Also bear in mind the wall mounted version of the electronic dart board is necessarily bigger than the normal bristle boards because of the electronics, so when it comes to housing your new board, you will need a larger than normal dart board cabinet to accommodate it. Please ensure that if you get a dart board cabinet for your electronic board that it will fit the cabinet, there are cabinets made to fit the larger boards.
