What I Learned from an Indonesian Resort about Blogging
What I Learned from an Indonesian Resort about Blogging
Over the last two weeks I’ve been lucky enough to have some time away with my family in Singapore and Indonesia. With our 3rd child arriving in early July it was our babymoon and a last chance to get away with our two little guys for a bit.
The bulk of our time was spent on Bintan Island (Indonesia) where we stayed at Club Med Bintan (note: the pics in this post are all iPhone shots I took at the resort over the week) – a resort which had been recommended by a couple of friends.
I’ve never been to a resort quite like this one before. We usually try to get a self contained apartment in the locations we visit which we can do day trips from – but with ‘V’ (my wife) pregnant and with two active little boys we thought we’d go for an all included option like Club Med which also had a kids club and plenty of activities on site so that we didn’t have to travel once there.

This is some good advice and something we should all consider -- creating a culture of welcome for visitors to our blogs, although it's not always easy to do for every type of blog.

Tips For Putting Spin on a Bowling Ball
By Marva Gee
Throwing a hook ball or spinning the ball when bowling is all about trying to create right to left motion (if you're right handed) as you throw the ball down the lane, in order to knock as many pins down as possible. The hook creates some room for error so that you don't necessarily have to strike the head pin in the perfect spot to knock the pins down.
Determine Which Grip to Use Based on the Type of Bowling Ball
When you go to the bowling alley if you don't have your own and have to use the house ball, you want to use what's called a conventional grip. To do this, hold your hand to the side of the ball, your fingers need to be in the ball all the way up to the second knuckle.
Spread your index finger out a bit because that will help the ball hook more. Support the ball with your other hand by placing your other hand on the side.
If you are using a Finger-tip ball, which is better for throwing hooks than the house ball, put your fingers in the holes only as far as the first knuckles -- this is called the Fingertip grip. Make sure to spread your index finger out and support the ball with your other hand.
A reactive resin ball
is best for throwing hooks. Use the aforementioned Fingertip Grip, cup your wrist a bit, spread out your index finger and support the ball with the other hand on the side of the ball and you're ready to throw a hook.
Mastering Your Release
The hook happens at the release point and your goal is to try to get your hand to rotate counterclockwise at the point of release. Your body position plays a big role. You want to have your head right over the ball or slightly on the outside of the ball, and your elbow on the inside of the ball. Your hand should come from the back of the ball. The important point is to create somewhat of a shelf for the ball in the palm of your slightly cupped hand.
Rotate your hand about half a turn, and let your hand go from slightly cupped to un-cupped. Release the ball by collapsing your hand and elbow. This will create RPMs and side rotation -- the rotation causes the ball to roll in a different direction than the ball is traveling.
