MOMENTS IN LIFE

2009-04-09T18:26:00.000-07:00

There are moments in life when you miss someone
so much that you just want to pick them from
your dreams and hug them for real!

When the door of happiness closes, another opens;
but often times we look so long at the
closed door that we don't see the one,
which has been opened for us.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile,
because it takes only a smile to
make a dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile.

Dream what you want to dream;
go where you want to go;
be what you want to be,
because you have only one life
and one chance to do all the things
you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human and
enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don't necessarily
have the best of everything;
they just make the most of
everything that comes along their way.

The brightest future will always
be based on a forgotten past;
you can't go forward in life until
you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying
and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so at the end,
you're the one who is smiling and everyone
around you is crying.

God has a positive answer:

Naruto Shippuuden

2009-01-16T05:23:00.000-08:00

Naruto is an anime and manga series created by Masashi Kishimoto centered around a loud, hyperactive, young ninja who is in a constant search for both approval and recognition, and with a great aspiration to become Hokage. First published as a manga series in Japan by Shueisha in the 43rd issue of Shonen Jump magazine in November 1999, the Naruto series has risen in popularity exponentially and has since been licensed in the USA (becoming VIZ Media's top selling title) and nearly two dozen other countries, with the anime series currently airing in 18 countries.

Although the anime series debuted on TV in Japan on October 3rd, 2002 nearly three years after the manga series first appeared it has quickly caught up, as each episode can cover up to two chapters. To prevent the series from being pulled off of the air and cancelled completely with no official story to base it upon, as had been the fate (and death) of other anime such as Rurouni Kenshin, the decision was made to produce original content for the anime series to allow the manga time to get far ahead and keep Naruto fresh in the minds of its many fans. Starting with episode 136 there has been over a years worth of filler episodes which tend to cover the supporting characters of Naruto who may not otherwise be seen often. New episodes of Naruto air every Wednesday night during the Golden Time slot at 7:27PM, and movies based upon the Naruto anime series have been released every Summer since 2004.

Naruto made his first English debut on September 10th, 2005 in an hour long premiere on the US cable channel Cartoon Network during the Toonami timeslot at 9PM, followed by an hour long encore (repeat of the first two episodes shown previously) at 10PM. Currently a new episode of Naruto is shown every Saturday at 9PM with an encore presentation at 2AM, along with reruns airing at 10PM Monday - Thursday. It had been announced previous to the premiere that Naruto would hit Canada (a less editted version than the American) before airing in the USA, on the 9th of September, however, due to licensing agreements the premiere was forced back until the 16th on the Canadian YTV. In the United Kingdom a much more heavily editted version of Naruto airs at 8PM on Jetix.

All About Naruto - What It's All About
Twelve years before the start of the series, a Kyuubi (nine-tailed fox demon) attacked the Hidden Leaf Village. A swing of one of it's mighty tails could raise tsunamis and flatten mountains, chaos reigned throughout the village as it killed many people, until the leader of the Leaf, the Fourth Hokage, defeated it by sacrificing his own life to seal the demon inside a new born child, that child is Uzumaki Naruto. The Fourth Hokage would forever be celebrated as a hero for sealing the Kyuubi and saving the entire village. It was his wish that Naruto would also be respected in the same way he would be, however, this was not the case. Everybody in the village avoided Naruto, regarding him as nothing more than the evil demon fox. The Third Hokage made it a rule within the village that other villagers were forbidden from mentioning this event to anyone, even their own children, however because of the way their parents treated Naruto, they mistreated him as well throughout most of his childhood.

As a result of this Naruto grew up as a lonesome orphan, without friends, family, or acknowledgement of any sort. Nobody would pay any attention to him, so he sought attention in the only way he knew how, through pranks and mischief. However, Naruto's behaviour would come to change after graduating from the Ninja Academy by learning the technique of the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu to save his sensei Umino Iruka from certain death. Naruto learnt two things that day, that the Kyuubi was contained inside him, and that there was someone who cared about him, and understood how he felt. His graduation would become a changing moment and define his world for the rest of his life.

All About Naruto - Did You Know?
Did you know that the name of Uzumaki Naruto comes from a city in the Tokushima Prefecture of Japan named Naruto? The city of Naruto was founded on March 15th, 1947 and has a population of 64,257 and a density of 474.40 per km². Naruto is most famous for the Naruto Whirlpools (Uzumaki, hence Uzumaki Naruto), a famous tourist attraction. Naruto also is home to the Ryozenji and Gokurakuji temples, the first two temples of the 88 temples on the Shikoku Pilgrimage that are believed to have been visited by the famous Buddhist monk Kukai, who was born in Zentsuji of the Shikoku Prefecture in 774. The pilgrimage is 745 miles long (1200 kilometers) and traditionally walked, which can take up to 60 days to do completely. Those who do complete the entire pilgrimage are known as o-henro-san and are often recognizable by their white clothing, sedge hats, and walking sticks. Also in Naruto is the Ohnaruto Bridge, a suspension bridge on the route that connects Kobe with Naruto. Completed in 1985 the bridge crosses the Naruto Strait (location of the Naruto Whirlpools) and has a span of 876 meters (2,874 feet), good for being named the 25th largest bridge in the world.

Closing Cycles
By Paolo Coelho

One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through. Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters - whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave in the past the moments of life that have finished.

Did you lose your job? Has a loving relationship come to an end? Did you leave your parents' house? Gone to live abroad? Has a long-lasting friendship ended all of a sudden? You can spend a long time wondering why this has happened. You can tell yourself you won't take another step until you find out why certain things that were so important and so solid in your life have turned into dust, just like that. But such an attitude will be awfully stressing for everyone involved: your parents, your husband or wife, your friends, ! your children, your sister, everyone will be finishing chapters, turning over new leaves, getting on with life, and they will all feel bad seeing you at a standstill. None of us can be in the present and the past at the same time, not even when we try to understand the things that happen to us. What has passed will not return: we cannot for ever be children, late adolescents, sons that feel guilt or rancor towards our parents, lovers who day and night relive an affair with someone who has gone away and has not the least intention of coming back. Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away.

That is why it is so important (however painful it may be!) to destroy souvenirs, move, give lots of things away to orphanages, sell or donate the books you have at home. Everything in this visible world is a manifestation of the invisible world, of what is going on in our hearts and getting rid of certain memories also means making some room for other memories to take their place. Let things go. Release them. Detach yourself from them. Nobody plays this life with marked cards, so sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Do not expect anything in return, do not expect your efforts to be appreciated, your genius to be discovered, your love to be understood. Stop turning on your emotional television to watch the same program over and over again, the one that shows how much you suffered from a certain loss: that is only poisoning you, nothing else.

Nothing is more dangerous than not accepting love relationships that are broken off, work that is promised but there is no starting date, decisions that are always put off waiting for the "ideal moment." Before a new chapter is begun, the old one has to be finished: tell yourself that what has passed will never come back. Remember that there was a time when you could liv! e without that thing or that person - nothing is irreplaceable, a habit is not a need. This may sound so obvious, it may even be difficult, but it is very important.

Closing cycles. Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because that no longer fits your life. Shut the door, change the record, clean the house, shake off the dust. Stop being who you were, and change into who you are.

The True Meaning of LOVE - A Touching Story

My husband is an Engineer by profession, I love him for his steady nature, and I love the warm feeling when I lean against his broad shoulders. Three years of courtship and now, two years into marriage, I would have to admit, that I am getting tired of it. The reasons of me loving him before, has now transformed into the cause of all my restlessness. . I am a sentimental woman and extremely sensitive when it comes to a relationship and my feelings, I yearn for the romantic moments, like a little girl yearning for candy. My husband, is my complete opposite, his lack of sensitivity, and the inability of bringing romantic moments into our marriage has disheartened me about love. One day, I finally decided to tell him my decision, that I wanted a divorce.

"Why?" he asked, shocked. "I am tired, there are no reasons for everything in the world!" I answered. He kept silent the whole night, seems to be in deep thought with a lighted cigarette at all times.

My feeling of disappointment only increased, here was a man who can't even express his predicament, what else can I hope from him? And finally he asked me:" What can I do to change your mind?" Somebody said it right, it's hard to change a person's personality, and I guess, I have started losing faith in him.

Looking deep into his eyes I slowly answered : "Here is the question, if you can answer and convince my heart, I will change my mind, Let's say, I want a flower located on the face of a mountain cliff, and we both are sure that picking the flower will cause your death, will you do it for me?" He said :" I will give you your answer tomorrow.... " My hopes just sank by listening to his response.

I woke up the next morning to find him gone, and saw a piece of paper with his scratchy handwriting, underneath a milk glass, on the dining table near the front door, that goes....

My dear, "I would not pick that flower for you, but please allow me to explain the reasons further.." This first line was already breaking my heart. I continued reading. "When you use the computer you always mess up the Software programs, and you cry in front of the screen, I have to save my fingers so that I can help to restore the programs.

You always leave the house keys behind, thus I have to save my legs to rush home to open the door for you. You love traveling but always lose your way in a new city, I have to save my eyes to show you the way.

You always have the cramps whenever your "good friend" approaches every month, I have to save my palms so that I can calm the cramps in your tummy. You like to stay indoors, and I worry that you will be infected by infantile autism. I have to save my mouth to tell you jokes and stories to cure your boredom.

You always stare at the computer, and that will do nothing good for your eyes, I have to save my eyes so that when we grow old, I can help to clip your nails,and help to remove those annoying white hairs. So I can also hold your hand while strolling down the beach, as you enjoy the sunshine and the beautiful sand... and tell you the colour of flowers, just like the color of the glow on your young face...

Thus, my dear, unless I am sure that there is someone who loves you more than I do... I could not pick that flower yet, and die.. " My tears fell on the letter, and blurred the ink of his handwriting. ... and as I continue on reading...

"Now, that you have finished reading my answer, if you are satisfied, please open the front door for I am standing outside bringing your favorite bread and fresh milk...

I rush to pull open the door, and saw his anxious face, clutching tightly with his hands, the milk bottle and loaf of bread..... Now I am very sure that no one will ever love me as much as he does, and I have decided to leave the flower alone...

That's life, and love. When one is surrounded by love, the feeling of excitement fades away, and one tends to ignore the true love that lies in between the peace and dullness.

Love shows up in all forms, even very small and cheeky forms, it has never been a model, it could be the most dull and boring form.. . flowers, and romantic moments are only used and appear on the surface of the relationship. Under all this, the pillar of true love stands... and that's our life... Love, not words win arguments...

The Difference Between Cartoons and Anime Explained!

2008-07-26T04:55:00.000-07:00

Cartoon is a term that once referred to fine art during the renaissance period. Somehow, though, the term’s meaning evolved (or devolved, depending on how you look at it) into humorous and witty illustrations and, finally, into animated programs meant to entertain people, mostly children. For, clarity, the term ‘cartoon’ in this article shall be referring to the animated programs. Recently, however, a new term has been coined: Anime. And the distinction between these two has caused much confusion.
Strictly speaking though, there should be no distinction between anime and cartoon. Anime is a term used by the Japanese to refer to animated cartoons, from their own country and from others as well. Somehow, though, the world started using the term anime in reference to Japanese cartoons exclusively. Japanese animation was once called japanimation, but this term was aptly discarded when the term ‘Anime’ was put into use.
Several people, mostly the grownups, say that they see absolutely no difference between the two, even going so far as to classify both cartoons and anime as ‘childish’ because of the nature of how they are presented, much to the woe of anime fans. Technically, there’s no official difference and the grownups are somewhat correct. But you only have to watch a single episode of any anime series and you’ll see that anime is far more than your usual slapstick comedy man-tripping-on-a-banana-peal early morning cartoons. There is a real and profound difference between the two besides their spellings: Anime is so much more than ‘just a cartoon.Storylines/Plots
Cartoons usually have a simple and defined plot. And they’re usually about the good guys fighting the bad guys. Cartoons rarely go beyond that old cliché. Most Anime series, on the other hand, are also about the same good vs. evil stuff but the plots are rarely simple and rarely predictable. You’ll find an element of politics, religion, humanity, and a score of several other abstract concepts within an anime. Whereas cartoons are just about ‘evil’ cats chasing ‘innocent’ mice or a hero defending himself and others from a very evil bully. Anime can blur the lines between good and evil so much that you’ll be left wondering which side is really right. Look at the plot of Gundam, there aren’t any good guys or bad guys. They’re both fighting for a cause – a worthy one, and both sides are prepared to do good and evil to achieve their goals. Look at the Wave Country arc of Naruto. Zabuza, evil as he was, had evoked more sympathetic tears than any of the typical Disney antagonists. There are, however, few exceptions to the ‘cartoons are simple’ rule. There are cartoon series that are far advanced like X-men.
In terms of humor, anime goes beyond the slapstick comedy that cartoons offer. There won’t be any corny joke about the chicken crossing the road with anime. There won’t even be the quintessential banana peal. Anime humor is deep and witty. However, it is to be noted that cartoons are mostly for kids. Anime can be for an adult audience; it mostly is, actually. There are even times when anime plots are hardly suited for children.Characters
In cartoons, there’s a protagonist, an antagonist, and a damsel in distress. Their roles are well-defined and clear and the characters always act according to their roles. In anime, however, the damsel in distress may very well become the antagonist, leaving the protagonist in distress. There’s no knowing what to expect in anime.
In short, there are so many similarities between the two since they are fundamentally drawn but yet they are also very distinct in many ways. One thing is for certain are that both are gaining immense popularity amongst adults due to its evolutions through time. You would be surprised at how many parents actually know the existence of popular animes like Naruto Shippuden or Bleach these days.

Ipod Touch - Awesome

2008-07-24T18:35:00.000-07:00

The iPod touch has the iPhone's multi-touch interface, with a physical home button off the touch screen. The home screen has a list of buttons for the available applications. All iPod touch models have included the applications Music, Videos, and Photos (collectively duplicating the standard functions of the iPod classic), iTunes (providing access to the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store), Safari, YouTube, Calendar, Contacts, Clock, Calculator, and Settings. Later models added Mail (accessing POP/IMAP/SMTP e-mail), Maps, Stocks, Notes, and Weather,[3] which could also be added to the earlier models with the purchase of a software upgrade. Direct links to web sites can be added to the home screen by the user.

The iPod touch is equipped with Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, and, like the iPhone, includes the Safari browser and a viewing client for YouTube. The device's Wi-Fi capabilities can also be used to buy music from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store.

It lacks some of the iPhone's features: access to any phone network, an internal speaker, a microphone, a camera, physical buttons for volume control, Bluetooth capability and Assisted GPS. The iPod touch uses software-based volume controls which require users to double-tap the home button, bringing up an on-screen slider.

GPS, Where Am I?

2008-07-22T01:34:00.000-07:00

When people talk about GPS, they usually mean a Global Positioning Satellite receiver. The GPS is a constellation of 27 Earth orbiting satellites. This system of satellites was originally developed by the military, and then opened to the public.
The 3-4,000 pound satellite, circle the earths globe, at about 12,000 miles, making 2 complete rotations a day. A GPS receiver job is to locate four or more of these satellites, figure out the distance to each, and use this information to define on location. The GPS receives the location of the satellites. By Knowing how faraway a satellite is, the receiver also knows know it is located on some imaginary sphere somewhere at the satellite. It then determines the size of several spheres, one for each satellite. The receiver is located where the two spheres intersect.The accuracy of the GPS depends on the type of receiver. Most hand held have a 10 to 20 meter accuracy. Other receivers use a method called differential GPS to obtain a much higher accuracy. Observation made by the stationary receiver are used to correct positions recorded by the revolving units, which offer a greater accuracy, greater than 1 meter.Today, GPS is still being used by the military. Hunter have grab onto the idea. Have a deer you are unable to drag out of the woods, tag it and relocate with the GPS. For several years, This GPS system, basically used for emergency, now used for mapping, auto help, unlocking doors and engine trouble.

Nintendo Wii - Wii Sports

2008-07-21T02:02:00.000-07:00

Don't have a Wii yet? If you ever do decide to get one, it should be noted that every Wii console comes bundled with the Wii Sports video game, which is fantastic. What Nintendo has essentially done, is they created a software title that practically anyone can pick up and play.The problem with most consoles of the past, besides not coming with a free game, is that they didn't look user-friendly to the average gamer. Yes, those that played game religiously knew exactly how to control and operate one of these consoles. But again, for the average person, it looked very complicated, and frankly, not that fun.That is what is so great about Wii Sports. Not only is it user-friendly, but it's also entertaining for those that aren't actually playing the game. The reason for this is because the game is motion controlled, rather than just pressing and pushing a bunch of bottons. Wii Sports consists of five different sports games, in addition to some other features. It consists of a bowling, golfing, boxing, tennis, and baseball game. So for example, if you decide to play bowling, you are using the Wii remote (the controller) in a similar manner as you would use a real bowling ball. What you are essentially doing is emulating the movements of the real sport. So in baseball, you hit the balls as if you were holding a real bat. In golf, you would swing your club as you would a real golf club. How about though, if you don't feel like emulating the real sports with such "drastic" movements? Actually, there are ways to reduce movement significantly and still get the same effect in terms of how the game is controlled. When I started playing Wii bowling, I used to stand up and swing the ball as if I were in a real bowling alley.Now, I can actually play the game while sitting on my couch, and it still plays and feels great. I do the same thing with golf and/or boxing. So, if you ever decide to purchase a Wii for yourself, be happy in knowing it comes with a game that is inviting, and entertaining for the whole family.

Proper Dental Care Needed For Sensitive Teeth

2008-07-17T07:06:00.002-07:00

Have you ever experienced that the familiar electric stinging sensation as you take a sip of iced tea or a slurp of your favorite hot soup? Have you ever felt like crying just as pain hits you after you took a bite of your favorite candy bar? Well, if you answered yes, there is a great possibility that you are suffering from sensitive teeth!What is the major causes of this problem? The problem of sensitive teeth may actually stem from a wide variety of reasons - ranging from the simple to the complicated. This dental problem can result from a mere "bruised" tooth caused by biting too hard on something or as a result of a routine dental procedure (such as after having them cleaned or filled). Clamping the jaws tightly and habitual tooth grinding can also lead to this condition. However, tooth or teeth sensitivity may also get result from a dead tooth pulp that requires a much more complicated dental procedure.In order to solve this dental problem, it would be the best to see your dentist to determine what exactly is causing all the trouble. If a simple enamel abrasion or normal gum recession brings about your this condition, rejoice! You can effectively deal with the predicament just by following these simple suggestions:Proper dental hygiene is the key. As a rule of thumb, you should observe proper dental hygiene at all times. It would be advisable to brush your teeth by at least twice a day using a soft toothbrush and the proper brushing techniques. Flossing at least once every day will also be a immense idea. These practices will definitely hold the dental plaque at bay and prevent it from causing even more trouble.Why all this attention in keeping plaque by away as much as possible? Well, dental plaque, that white gummy substance that form by on the surface of your teeth, can cause sensitive teeth to react more strongly to the usual stimulants whenever the affected tooth comes into contact with them. Thus, waging a war against the dental plaque can definitely spare you from pain and save your day!Use desensitizing toothpaste - That if you are suffering from widespread dental sensitivity due to enamel abrasion or gum-line recession, dental fillings alone cannot effectively solve the problem. One good way to treat this major problem is to start using desensitizing toothpastes. These products can help reduce your problem by filling up the tubules in the dentin to minimize your tooth or teeth’s sensitivity.

Nintendo Wii, Playstation 3 Or Xbox 360? Which is For You?

2008-07-15T06:25:00.001-07:00

Ok, where do we start?If you're anywhere between 5 years of age and 80 years of age you've probably heard of the Nintendo Wii, Playstation3 and Xbox 360 !!! Wow, what an impact they're having on us folk eh!!As for me, I'm 43 years of age with a beautiful wife, Sula who is 8 months pregnant !!! When we were kids, yep, the only computer games we had were the original Bat And Ball !!! Thats right, a plain bat and a relatively slow moving ball !! And there we'd be, hitting the ball and then watching it slowly move to the other side so that it could be hit again and yes, watch it slowly move back to the other side........etc etc........you get the drift yes? wow!!!So, do the games of today compare at all? Me thinks you already know the answer to that 'un !!!!!!!!Sorry, but no comparison. Bat And Ball !!!!!!?????? What's one of those!!?!?!?!?!?!?Remember in the 80's when all the arcade games came out? Of course you do!!!! We had the Packman, Space Invader, Outer Galactic Rocket and all the rest of them..........yep, they were pretty good at the time - as a teenager I played on them many a time.But the Wii, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360..............Now you're talking a different league altogether!!!The detail, the superb quality, the futuristic feel etc etc are just out of this world...So how do we answer the question "Which One Is For Me?" Well, without sounding flippant, its really quite easy.........If you don't like excercise then get the Playstation 3 or the Xbox 360, if you like excercise then get the Nintendo Wii!!! And there you have it. Yes, I know - very simple answer but that really is what it comes down to. Loads and loads and loads of parents say how better they feel about this little gem simply because their kids are not sat down on their fat bums eye-glued to a screen - they are actually doing something positive and beneficial.Did I just say what parents say about their kids??? I did didn't I. Lets just get the record straight here. On the Nintendo Wii its also the parents that are getting hooked on this excercise gaming lark.Make no mistake about it - just about everyone regardless of age are getting stuck in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Take the tennis for example - you actually carry out the exact same movements that you would if you were out on the court itself. The same for the boxing - you actually box just like you would if you were in the ring!!!!!Wow!!! In my opinion, there is nothing quite like the Nintendo Wii - its fun, its new, its for any age, its addictive (good in this case), its EXCERCISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I recently read somewhere on the internet where someone was reporting how difficult it is to get hold of a Nintendo Wii !!!!!!Hasn't this chap heard of the internet where around 2 billion people now shop?????!?!?!?!?!?!?!Hey listen, if you want to get hold of yours for a superb price with massive savings and have huge choice then check out the website below - it won't let you down.It has loads of excellent stuff - all the consoles and games etc, but if you want to be more specific for the Nintendo Wii - then of course, its there as well !!!Go and enjoy yourself.I wonder what's next on the agenda for consoles and games.........ummmmm..............

Here Without You - Three Doors Down

Happiness Begins With Forgiveness

2008-07-14T14:39:00.000-07:00

I would like to preface this article by stating that I am referring to people and occurrences that can be forgiven. There are some atrocities in our world that are simply too horrible to forgive. That said, even the most painful of experiences can be let go for the purpose of allowing happiness into our lives. One of the major stumbling blocks on the road to happiness is the painful emotion of anger. Whether this anger is directed at a friend or loved one, or worse… yourself, it is a feeling that must be overcome and released if you are truly going to have a chance at lasting happiness. Anger is something that we all have to deal with from time to time. Just as we are all as unique as individual snowflakes, it is virtually impossible to stroll through life without becoming angry with someone that you know and love. In fact, one of the worst bouts of anger you can have is actually with that person staring back at you in the mirror. When something or someone upsets you, it is extremely important to vent your feelings.Ideally, it’s best to deal with the offender directly. If that someone happens to be you, so be it. In fact, forgiving yourself is one of the most important steps you can take on the happiness path. If you are not worthy of forgiveness, how can you ever experience real happiness? I’m not suggesting that you run out and berate everyone who has ever done you wrong, I am merely stating that harboring anger will eventually catch up with you making it very difficult, if not impossible, to partake in the happiness that would otherwise be available to you. It is perfectly normal and natural to become upset or angry with others or yourself. Perhaps someone insulted you, hurt you, cheated or betrayed you. Maybe you actually let yourself down by not playing by the rules, or accomplishing a goal that you had set out to achieve. Conceivably, you unintentionally or worse, intentionally harmed someone. While none of this is noble, it is crucial to let it go. With forgiveness comes peace, and with peace, happiness may begin to flow. Therefore, it is important to remember that happiness begins with forgiveness.

Make Money Blogging--Can You Really Make Money Blogging?

2008-07-14T14:28:00.000-07:00

This is a question that lots of soon to be bloggers and blogger newbies ask themselves. Is it really possible to make money blogging? This is a fair question when you consider how many people try to make money online versus how many actually succeed at doing so. Not to mention all the scammers out there waiting to sell another newbie the dream, only for the newbie to realize that he just wasted another $97.So it is not surprising that so many aspiring bloggers quit after initial failure, yet I firmly believe that most blogger are following an inefficient business model. The prevailing wisdom regarding the steps to successfully make money blogging is really a lot of bologna. The problem with the make money online niche is that it is dominated by newbies. You think you are learning reading these popular blogs (which shall remain nameless) but you just don't realize that the blogger himself is just rehashing the same stuff he read on another clueless MMO blog. The current 'A-Lister' type method is basically to build a 'readership' and then to sell everything you can to them. And judging by the products I see advertised on many A-List blogs, they are rather indifferent as to the quality of the products they advertise. I see "get rich quick" and "Secret ways to make MILLIONS!!!!" type products all over these A-Lister blogs. The idea is to build credibility with your readers by pretending to be an expert in your niche. Fake it till you make it. See, the credibility is supposed to foster a relationship of trust between you and your 'readership'...this way you can more easily soak them for everything they are worth. So in order to make it using this method you really need to hit it big. There are only a handful that become name bloggers, and thousands who never are. But don't let this depress you.In fact you can make money blogging! You don't need to do all of those A-Lister chores like constantly providing fresh and excellent content. You don't need to establish yourself as an expert in your field, and you don't need to sell advertising and links on your blog if it ever becomes a PR5.There is a simple but effective business model for bloggers in niche blogging. This is basically where you set up a blog that acts as a small site. A mini site at that. It will look like a blog and feel like a blog, but it will really be a static site. You write about ten posts focused around your main keyword and leave it alone from there on out. Then you just promote the site with lots of links using your anchor text. Once the blog ages a couple of months you put adsense on it. Your only job is to get enough links for the blog that it ranks on the first page, ideally at number one. You put almost all of your time into building links to your blog.Of course this is real internet marketing so you will need to learn to do your keyword research and how to analyze your competition, but this is the way to make money blogging without really having to blog at all.

Computer Processor - Before, Now And Eventually

2008-07-14T06:38:00.000-07:00

The fact is that a computer comprises several processors however the one regularly used by advertisers when they want to draw attention to the power of a computer commonly relates to the Central Processing Unit (CPU).Few individuals will not have heard of Intel or AMD processors while their significance to the advertising community and thereby the general public at large is comparable to the way motor manufacturers sell their cars. If in the market for a sports car an individual usually wants as much performance as is available hence manufacturers will sell their most powerful cars simply by stating the number of cylinders a particular model possesses. By using just two letters such as V8 - a message is sent to the public consumer who will automatically recognize that this indicates a potentially powerful engine. The equivalent term to excite the adrenalin rush in the computer buyer today is probably a "Dual Core Processor".However before describing the merits of dual core processing or any other electronic component or semiconductors it seems reasonable to first explain why the CPU attracts so much attention, possibly more than any other electronic component lurking within a computer. The specification of a CPU is defined by its speed for example 900 MHz provides an approximation of the number of instructions that a CPU is able to process by the second - 900 million in this example. In addition the data handling capability of a CPU defines its power: a 64-bit CPU is able to combine, stage-manage or subtract numbers that are 64-bits wide. In the early nineties computers with 16-bit CPUs were considered powerful while today 64-bits are the norm, a reflection of how far the IT public sector experience has developed in a little over fifteen years.A CPU today would seem like something from an alien world to the computer geeks of fifteen years ago, Not only have they become much more powerful but in addition their use of new materials as semiconductors increases efficiency beyond anything thought manageable fifteen years ago. The intention of these new semiconductors is directly aimed at the speed with which a CPU operates. Making the CPU faster is an ongoing challenge that drives this industry because ultimately all computers are limited by the capability of their CPU and, because IT has become an established ingredient in the daily routine people now have to handle we are much more proficient at using them. The knock on effect from the IT development of the past fifteen years relates to people and their improved functionality when interacting with computers. The demands made on electronic components will continue to increase as people learn how to add, manipulate and subtract using their IT on a daily basis and it seems that no matter how fast electronic components become they will never quite be capable of matching the speed of the brain whose fingers deftly work a keyboard.In addition a fast CPU back in the early nineties ran at around 386 MHz, an electronic component that would today freeze being within close proximity of a modern PC game.

The History of Computer

2008-07-14T06:34:00.000-07:00

Uninformed researchers of computer (computador) history would probably note the first computer in the mid 1930`s. In reality, this history dates nearly 2000 years ago with the invention of the abacus where the user programmed beads using formulated constructs.Although many historians caution against the use of the word computer (computador) except to define 20th century computers, a broader understanding illuminates an instrument designed by a Frenchman and which functioned as a calculator and was designed for a tax collector in the 1600`s. Improvements to this calculator continued through the 19th century.Similar work was underway in England and with the support of the government a `mechanical` calculator was invented. It was powered by steam and supported a fixed program for its use. This calculator went through many changes until an automatic calculator was invented. Following this flurry of discovery and invention, little changed until the early 1900`s when detailed mechanical and transportation work required complex mathematical calculations (especially calculus). Two Census Bureau workers began to look for a means of accurately calculating information. They conceived the idea of a punch card which would be inserted into the computer (computador), read, and stored. The greatest advantage of these still slow moving machines was the ability to store large amounts of information with ease and accuracy.The early 1940`s and the imminent World War, brought the military into the computer era (computador). New weapons requiring computer technology for effectiveness, were needed, designed and produced. These were large floor model machines and utilized the floor space of an average one family home (about 2,000 square feet). One independent computer (computador) was not adequate and a means was found to link computers which produced a more accurate and clear channel of information. These devices were not only cumbersome but they required rewiring and rechanneling for each program. Greater inventions were in progress. These new computers (computador) would be equipped with memory capacity and worker faster than any in existence at the time.In 1947, the first modern programmable computers (computador) were designed. They contained RAM (Random Access Memory) and made it possible to access information in seconds. This technology continued to be tested and improved into the 1950`s when magnetic core memory and a transistor circuit element were discovered. These increased the memory capacity and functionality of the computers (computador). On the down side the cost to operate these machines was astronomical. By nearly sheer determination alone, these devices evolved into amazing machines able to work with a number of programs simultaneously while giving the impression that only one program was in use. As recently as the 1960`s computers (computador) were more available and the price had become nearly reasonable for businesses. Their use however, was confined mostly to mathematically based operations such as billing, accounting, and payroll. One of the major purchasers of these devices was hospitals which stored date from patients, inventory, billing, treatments, and the like.By the 1980`s smaller individual computers (computador) were being produced. Technology continued to astound the general public as the microchip came into existence permitting personal computers to be sold with accompanying program disks for downloading. A glance around most medium to large companies would reveal many desk top computers in use. It would be impossible to track the history of computers (computador) without acknowledging Apple Computer and IBM for their leading edge and evolving technology. Radio Shack coupled with Apple Computer (computador) produced video games for the computer (a move from the arcade).The ability for businesses and individuals to access the worldwide web gave birth to new and innovative marketing and communication with inquirers and/or clients. Today it is inconceivable that one attempt to research something on line and not find multiple references there. The momentum has only continued to mount and new upgrades are available nearly by the day.

What Makes The Ipod Sell?

2008-07-14T06:28:00.000-07:00

People have intense love affairs with their machines, like some men are known to be enthusiastic about their cars, and some women are known for some household appliances. But the iPod seems to top them all and seems to pull strings at the heart with such consistency that some people, irrespective of age, sex, color, and creed, make the mp3 player device an extension of themselves, an extension of their personalities, and an extension of their lifestyles!The marvel of the 21st century, the iPod, never had it so good. Psychologists are of the opinion that because primarily an iPod delivers music and the human mind is naturally attuned to music, therefore it is an instant hit. But there are other mp3 player devices around, then what makes this device so unique? Market analysts say that the small size of the iPod, its capacity to store thousands of songs, and its ability to use the computer as an alter ego, has contributed to its tremendous sale.However, market survey agencies pronounce that the popularity of the iPod is mainly due to the strong identification between songs and emotions. When people hear a particular song, they identify it with some emotion, some event of their lives, and they relive those moments of the past. This makes them feel happy, which in turn justifies the amount of money they have spent on purchasing their iPods. People have gone on record to say things like when they hear romantic songs they are reminded of their ex-girlfriends or pleasant moments. When they hear songs like Bette Midler`s `Wind Beneath My Wings`, they are reminded of their husbands. Stock exchange brokers and traders identify their job and lives with the Frank Sinatra song, `My Way`. Similarly, Linda Ronstadt`s `When Will I Be Loved`, and Peter Frampton`s `I`m in You`, reminds one of the high school dances. This association with emotions makes the iPod a must-have consumer product.Some iPod users have something more than an intense affair with their mp3 player music devices. Something more like an obsession. It is an on going love story. Sociologists claim that the iPod makes some individual a good societal being, as their frustrations are released by simply listening to their favorite songs. Dramatists affirm that emotional catharsis is superbly performed by iPods. Some medical experts state that mp3 player devices may even eliminate depression and elevate one`s mood.As music tends to be very personal, it becomes very emotional. So when you listen to the songs stored in your mp3 player device, you tend to get emotional and take a walk down memory lane. Thus, iPod becomes a small, compact memory bank, which you can carry around with you, wherever you go. The ability of the iPod to rewind your life backwards and hear it, being enacted in lovable musical melodies is perhaps the greatest selling point of this machine. No wonder then that more than 22 million iPods have been sold in a few years only! No wonder then you see people with their music players down the streets, at Harris Teeter while shopping for Cocoa Puffs, while doing stretch ups at Gold`s Gym, or sipping high quality afternoon tea at the Ritz`s. The iPods have become absolutely indispensable, completely irreplaceable, and simply irresistible!With the iPods now coming with multimedia capabilities, they have become small, personal cinema houses, compact media players to view home videos, or even to show some commercial multimedia applications. Thus, with passing time, the popularity of the device is increasing as it enters new vistas of commerce, arts, and sciences. The iPod has indeed become multifunctional and multifaceted, and has aptly adapted to the needs of changing times. This adaptability is the prime reason why this music player sells so much!This article is under GNU FDL license and can be distributed without any previous authorization from the author.
