The New World Order and Motorcycle Clubs

By LJ James

The New World Order and Motorcycle Clubs

What a crazy world we live in today. It's come to a point where you just don't know what to believe any more. The "news" media has gone from investigative reporting to regurgitating Government and Corporate "News Releases" as actual news.

The thing that I don't understand is, some people actually believe everything they see on TV or read in the paper or on the Internet. You can tell people the Sky is falling but if it wasn't reported on CNN, People will just think your some kind of crazy Chicken Little. Chunks of the sky could be hitting them in the head and they still wouldn't believe it.

If CNN reports that the Sky is Falling and states the reason as "human over consumption of oxygen", people start trying to figure out how to stop breathing so they can stop the Sky from falling. It doesn't matter if the real reason is some new Military Toxin.

Let's say there is some national disaster and you say something different from the official Government release on why and how it happened. Now you're some kind of crazy Conspiracy Nut. Again It doesn't matter what kind of proof you have, what kind of scientific evidence you try and present, you're just a nut and no one wants to listen to you.

Because We all know the United States Government would never lie to us. They'd never conspire against the people of this country. Anyone remember The "Gulf of Tonkin" incident? Iran/Contra? Weapons of Mass Destruction?

We're used to hearing about the Government Controlled Media in places like China and Russia, but what of the "News" media in the United States? Just a few months ago our Government was besieged with letters, email, and phone calls by people who were vehemently against the so-called Wall Street Bail-Out. At first the measure failed. CNN broadcast a week of programming designed to "educate" us stupid Americans on the reasons why we needed to pay for this bail-out. The next week it passed.

This is not the "Free Press" our founding fathers envisioned. Our founding fathers envisioned a "Free Press" that would help to keep our Politicians and our Government honest, as a way to speak out against injustices, not an "education" tool.

What has happen to the Spirit of the American people? When did we stop demanding to know the truth about what is going on? When did the Truth get too hard for us to handle? Is it fear? It seems every time someone uses the phrase "National Security", that somehow, we understand that's all we need to know.

Is it apathy? What happened to the days of protest, the intolerance of greed and corruption? Throughout History there are examples of great Societies that have fallen, not from outside forces, but from corruption within.

We live in a world of the Future where things that seemed impossible yesterday are common place by tomorrow. For some of us, we're too busy trying to make it to tomorrow to worry about what is happening politically in the World. We're too busy working and taking care of our families to seek the truth or get involved with some kind of cause.

Many still believe that eventually the Government will take care of us, that despite the loss of our industry, the loss of our jobs, the loss of our freedoms, and the lowering of our standard of living, the Governments still have our best interests at heart.

When we see Governments around the World curtailing our right of assembly, our freedom of speech, do we stand up or do we accept it? Lately, it seems that these political entities have been giving those of us in Motorcycle Clubs a little extra attention. Why is that? Most Motorcycle Clubs are made up of principled, patriotic men who value family, brotherhood and their communities above all else. Many are Veterans of Wars past and present.

Why are we viewed as Radicals & Extremists. The Governments of the world have begun pushing hard to break us up, shut us down.

As a Biker and a Member of a Motorcycle Club I see many injustices taking place all over the world. I have seen Motorcycle Clubs names and logos seized in dirty under handed methods. Large Clubs charged with Crimes and their members locked away. Government Agents inserted into clubs for years so that they can introduce drugs and violence into the clubs in an effort to bring them down. Ex Members and "friends" of Motorcycle Clubs offered Millions of Dollars if they can come up with charges against these Motorcycle Clubs!

Just as in any culture or society, there are going to be a few bad apples.The problem is the Government and the Media have conspired to paint everyone in the Biker World with the same brush. I'll bet it takes you 5 seconds to think of a News Story, Movie, or Documentary that you've seen portraying Bikers negatively, but I bet you can't think of one that shows us feeding the poor, protecting the children, or raising money for every disease known to man.

Watching Motorcycle Clubs slowly being taken down in such blatantly unjust ways is scaring the hell out of me. What makes me sad is at the same time these wolves are getting through the gate and destroying the MC world, Many Motorcycle Clubs continue to fight against each other! These fights are embellished and sensationalized on TV and in the press. They are then used by the Governments of the world as the fuel they need to continue to shut down all Motorcycle Club's.

Motorcycle Clubs, much like the United States of America, were started with incredible Ideals. Both set down on paper what they were about and what they stood for. It is time for both Motorcycle Clubs and Americans to get back to their core beliefs. I believe with all my Heart that true Members of Motorcycle Clubs hold the ideals of Freedom and Brotherhood higher than any other group anywhere.

As I have said many times before I am no Hippie and I do not preach peace or love, I am a true Biker ! It is just that I have realized "Rome is burning" and only by working together can we hope to be able to stop the fire! Motorcycle Clubs are like people and not everyone will always get along, We are always going to have our differences.

What needs to happen now is for members of every Motorcycle Club in the World to look deep inside and ask themselves, "What is the most important thing to me?" If you truly believe in Motorcycle Club Brotherhood, and you have felt true Motorcycle Club Brotherhood, the answer will be simple. We as members of Motorcycle Clubs, need to set aside our differences and unite as one so that we may work together to save the Motorcycle Club world! We must fight against those who would take away everything we are and have us live as slaves.

Next time you hear that a Government or one of its agents has brought down another Brother or a Motorcycle Club you didn't like, don't celebrate, because the next time it will be you and your club. They won't stop until we are all gone.

Access to Free Public Records - Court Records

By Bobbie McKee

Some individuals are too busy with their work and so they can't afford to consume a lot of their time in accessing free public records. Most of them don't have luck in getting free public records for free, no matter how hard they try. Well, don't lose hope yet because you might just be searching in the wrong places. There is lots of information resources online that can help in obtaining free public records like the court documents and you need to know about them.

Once you find out how to obtain free public records, you will have less difficulty in getting the court records you need. The law mandates the government to provide easy accessibility of public records to the general public. The citizens of the US are privileged to access various public records but this doesn't mean that the people can already abuse such privilege. If you want to get a certain public record, you have to make a request to the concerned government agency and the agency will decide on your request. Invalid requests can be turned down especially those that involve national security issues and the safety of some individuals in sensitive court cases.

Public records are usually obtained after paying a certain fee and if you can't afford to pay for the public records, you can obtain free public records. Free public records can be requested from other online providers. This is a much faster and simpler way of accessing public records without paying anything.

Most online public records search sites offer various types of records like birth, death, marriage, divorce, criminal, court, and many other records. With so many free search sites to choose from, it's very easy to fall victim to online scammers. Online searches should therefore be conducted in secured sites to ensure your safety. Remember that when you request for any public record, you will also need to provide some of your personal details; ensuring your safety should also be among your priority.

When looking for court and criminal records, you have to make sure that you choose updated websites. Some free sites maintain limited databases and so there are times when the information is not updated. This is one consideration when looking for good search sites. Even free sites should maintain updated public records and for this reason, it's a good idea to stick with reputable and established websites.

You have to know the right places to search so that you can get the court or criminal records you need. Once you learn about the good free sites to visit, you will soon realize that it's very easy to obtain public records.

Looking for public records was difficult many years ago but this time, it's quite different. You don't need to drop by at different court jurisdictions just to look for the court or criminal records you need. With an internet connection at home or in the office, you can already browse different websites to request for the public records.

So if you need to get copies of free public records like the court documents, start looking for reputable free search sites that maintain updated databases of public records. This is the only way to get the records you need for free. Try to browse several secured free search sites so that you can also verify some of the pieces of information you've gathered.

What Is Search Engine Marketing?

By Brent Sweet

It's in our genes, we're driven to seek. We 'hunt' for food, homes, partners, jobs and lately - with the advent of the Internet - information.

Even in the early years of the Internet, before it evolved to include Web browsers, there were text based search engines. Back then they had funny names like Archie, and Gopher. It was only later, when the graphical browser was invented, that searching became much easier and accessible for the rest of us.

The concept behind Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is quite simple: when a consumer or business person searches the Web through either a text box or by clicking through a directory hierarchy, they are in "hunt mode." This mode is unique because it indicates that the person is looking for information. Marketers understand this "hunt mode" means the searcher is probably somewhere in the buying cycle, researching a product or service to fill an immediate or future need.

It's this 'timeliness' that makes search engine results some of the best sources of targeted traffic, whether that traffic originates from "organic" unpaid search listings or paid (sponsor) advertising listings.

To leverage the power of targeted traffic, marketers must understand how to effectively use both paid and organic SEM and what they can expect each methodology to achieve.

Search engine traffic is unique because:

Presenting your message within the search engine traffic is non-intrusive. The searching is not interrupted and your message "arrives" just when the searcher is seeking knowledge or a solution.

Search engine traffic results from a fixed inventory of searches. To truly qualify as search engine traffic, the search must be one that the searcher initiated as a search, either by clicking a search link or by entering a search query.

Search engine traffic originates from a voluntary, audience-driven search. This means the visitors arriving from a search have selected your listing and chosen the words that match.

Natural or "Organic" search engine marketing combines the best practices of technology, usability, copy/linguistics and online PR. This is because many search engines base their relevancy algorithms on a combination of the text they see on a page or site, combined with external elements such as links and user behaviours/preferences.

These days, Marketers can buy text-link search results on all of the top search sites. The popularity of paid search results advertising can be attributed to the search engines' need for alternative revenue sources, marketers' increasing requests for search results traffic, and the high value of the traffic generated through search results.

Unpaid (otherwise known as organic or algorithmic) search engine traffic was once fairly easy to get - but this was before there were more than 3 billion documents competing for attention of the search engine databases!

Some marketers believe there are "tricks" which will improve the relevancy of their indexed sites. Using tricks to fool the search engines is dangerous because many of these 'tricks' result in negative relevance penalties (they actually lower your ranking score!) as the engines take measures to punish search marketers who try and manipulate their systems. Remember, site and IP Blacklists do exist and 'tricks' are one sure-fire way to get yourself added.

The good news is there are many compelling and legitimate organic search engine optimizations. Some of the best ones focus on content - the mainstay of the Internet. Particular efforts should be focused on copy (the words), the site design (it's an artful balance between what the computerized search engine needs and what the human searcher wants), HTML formatting, and other technical considerations.

Online marketing is a proven and valuable part of an overall integrated marketing campaign. And it all begins by understanding the precise keywords and search terms your ideal prospect is using to search the Internet. Find these and you unlock the potential of the Internet.

How To Get Blog Traffic Thru Compelling Content

By Charles Carr

There are two main goals that everyone who decides to publish a blog will have in common. They want what they have written to be read, and they want their visitors to return to the blog for repeat visits. There is only one way to ensure that you will make money from your blog and that is if you get lots of visits to it. Of course, those people will need to click on the AdSense link on your blog in order for you to make any money.

WHAT DO I MAKE MY BLOG ABOUT?

Unfortunately every blogger has this problem so you are not alone. Once you have set it all up and placed the AdSense link in the best place to invite clicks, you are now faced with that white text box and trying to decide what to write in it. We have all had to deal with writer's block at some time. Although you know you are quite capable of composing a few paragraphs, when it comes down to doing it on your blog, you may find that you keep drawing a blank. And then, as if writer's block isn't enough, you might start to wonder why anyone would be interested in what you have to say in the first place! But there are tools available that will help you to come up with ideas of what to write about.

Although ad placement on your blog is important it is actually the easy part when you start your own blog. The difficulty comes in when you try to decide what your blog should actually pertain to. The reason for this is because you will need to write about it daily, so it needs to be both interesting and relevant in order to keep your visitors returning for more. If there are no visitors to your blog it cannot create an income.

You have the choice about what your blog will be about and you can choose to write about any topic under the sun that takes your fancy. But that doesn't help much, now does it? There are simply far too many options available to you. It is really like taking a child into a large toy store and then telling them that they can choose any toy they want. How are they to make such a choice when there are so many toys to choose from? It is the same situation. You are faced with unlimited possibilities.

Your blog can either be a blog that does not earn you any money, or it can be one that does. So the first decision you need to make is to decide which is best suited to you. If you choose the one that does not earn you money then all you need to do is provide the link to your blog to the people in your life, such as friends and family. You will merely need to post updates every now and again but other than that there is not much more you need to do. If, on the other hand, you want to write a blog that will bring the cash in, you need to know and understand just how search engines and AdSense work. This might also assist you in deciding what your blog would be about.

In the later articles, we will take a look at search engine optimization and AdSense more closely. But for now it is necessary that you understand that knowing something of how search engine optimization and AdSense work can assist you greatly in deciding what your blog should pertain to. If you have decided that you want your blog to generate an income then it is vitally important that whatever topics you intend writing about will effectively bring you as much traffic as possible via the search engines. While search engine optimization will direct some readers your way, your up to date and always fresh, informative content is what will keep them coming back for more. And in order to make money, the relevant AdSense ads on your blog will need to be strategically placed.

You Can Give Gift Baskets on Halloween

By Bobbie McKee

Just because kids are the only ones that go trick or treating does not mean that grown ups cannot have some fun too during Halloween. Adults throw grown up parties and also give gift baskets that the recipient will surely enjoy.

A gift basket is pretty self-explanatory. Since it can be used for any occasion like a housewarming present or a baby shower, you have to put items that suit the occasion like a bunch of scary masks, pumpkins, candies, grapes and even a bottle of wine.

You can make this yourself by buying the materials and the items from the grocery or buying it directly from the store.

If you choose to make one, the first thing to look around for is the basket. These come in different sizes so be sure that what you get will be able to contain whatever you want to put inside.

From there, you can already pick out what goodies will go in the basket so you can fix it up. Before you put the contents inside, get some crumpled and loose paper cut into small pieces then put this in the bottom of the basket so this can act as a cushion. Wrap each item carefully using a colorful gift wrap then slowly put it inside.

It will take some time to fit everything right inside the basket so be patient because you are doing your best to maximize the limited space.

The last thing you have to do when all the items are inside is to cover up the basket using cellophane wrap. If the basket is big, you might need a couple and when you are finished, bring it up and then tie it using a ribbon as this will preventing it from opening.

Now to add a personal touch, put a nice card addressed to the person you are giving the basket to. A cute one could read in the front something like "open at your own risk" or simply greeting that person a "Happy Halloween."

Aside from making or buying a Halloween gift basket from the grocery, there are some that sell it online. They range from $30 to a little over a $100. If you look carefully, there are some who offer this at discounted prices so you end up with a good deal.

So, should you make a Halloween gift basket or buy one? That decision is up to you. If you are working on tight budget, follow the instructions so you can make one by yourself. To add a touch of creativity to it, you can put other items than candy, masks, a bottle of wine or pumpkins.

A few examples of these are a bouquet of dead flowers since we are accustomed to getting those that blooming already or just about to, toy spider webs, a Halloween CD and some popcorn.

Your friend will surely be surprised with the Halloween basket that you are about to give to them. It is creative and original which shows that you are giving something not for the sake of the occasion but because you care about them.

Since the gift basket can be used for any occasion, you can do this again and give it to other people. With Christmas less than 2 months away after Halloween, that would be a great idea to give out to friends and family.

Learn How to Speak Italian for Your Italian Getaway

By Bobbie McKee

For your trip to gorgeous Italy, it helps if you can speak the language as you go around the beautiful streets and take in the sights of this marvelous country. Italy's official language is Italian but there are many other local dialects from the different regions of the country. Any local will be able to distinguish between a Pisan and a Roman just by their accent. But all citizens of the country can speak Italian which is why it's convenient for tourists to learn how to speak Italian even if it means just learning a few phrases.

Learning the Language

Italy is a tourist hotspot and tourism is a major industry of the country. Italians are used to tourists and they welcome them with open arms. Any traveler will find it quite easy to navigate through the major cities of Italy as most of the people can speak a few and basic English phrases but if your trip to Italy takes you to the smaller cities and regions, not many know how to speak English, which is why learning a few phrases can be handy. Plus, learning the language is also a great way to get into the Italian culture and get the full blown Italian experience.

Even more so is the fact that learning just a few phrases can get you plus points with the natives who will appreciate your gesture and you effort. By learning a few Italian phrases, you're trying to connect with the locals and look very much like an educated tourist.

Talking the Language

When it comes to speaking Italian, pronunciation is very important to be easily understood and any amount of effort to do so will be greatly appreciated by the locals.

Easily enough, Italian pronunciation is simple. All that is required is to speak each consonant and vowel clearly. Italians tend to talk fast but with a light tongue. And like learning any language, practice make perfect. Remember, it's the effort that counts so it's alright to make mistakes.

Here are a few basic phrases that you can use as you go around Italy:

Arrivederci- Goodbye Bene- Well or good Buon giorno! - Good day Buona sera! - Good afternoon or evening Sto bene - I am well Dov'...? - Where is... Per favore - Please Grazie! - Thanks! Male - Bad Mi scusi - Excuse me No - No Si - Yes Prego - You're welcome Quanto e' - How much is...

Almost Like English

As you learn how to speak Italian or at least learn some basic Italian phrases, you will come to realize that it does sound almost like English. Just like Italian, English is a Germanic language and because of this there are many words that are shared between the English and the Italian languages. Although some words are pronounced the same in both languages there are those that are pronounced differently.

As you listen and read through the Italian language, it's always important to learn and be observant of how every word is pronounced. You will notice as you listen in to conversations in Italian that most of these words you already know about.

LED Lighting: The New Kid on the Block

By Tom Sanderrs

LED or light emitting diode lights are lights that convert electricity into light. They have a special circuit that uses less energy and lasts longer than a regular light bulb. They are often equipped with reflectors to enhance their lighting capacity.

There are a number of advantages in using LED lighting:

LED lights have been around for about 40 years and were originally used as small instrument lights like the ones you might have seen in an aircraft. They have progressed to domestic and business use as a very reliable source of light that is energy efficient while at the same time providing superior light output. As the world starts to look for alternatives to save energy, LED lights have gained a very strong following and will probably take over from traditional bulbs in the future.

Longer life: LED bulbs last up to ten times longer than regular bulbs. Some people even speculate that they can last up to 40 years! This saves time, money and gives your business the added bonus of being friendly to the environment, which can mean a lot to modern employees and shoppers.

They give off more light: So they last longer, use less energy and they even give off more light. There really is no down side to using LED lights.

LED lighting can be used in a number of ways:

Strip lighting under cabinets: cabinets can create dark areas around counters and work spaces in kitchens. This can be dangerous as well as unhygienic, making it difficult to work and clean. Some intelligently placed LED lights will create the light needed and enhance the look and feel of any kitchen or similar work area.

Reading lamps: because these LED lights point in one direction they are good for reading lamps. They have a brighter light than regular bulbs which also makes them good for this purpose.

Highlights: Directional lights like LEDs are perfect for highlighting decorative pieces and as reading lamps. They can generate atmosphere to a normally cold room by highlighting areas that draw attention.

Landscape lighting: entertainment decks really come to life with just a few LED lights in the right areas. They can create highlights or can be used to illuminate the natural look of the deck. They also are ideal for drawing attention to areas of a yard or garden and create different feel than traditional bulbs.

Different colors: LED lighting comes in many different colors. This can create a different atmosphere for various rooms in your house. You can also use different hues for displays in your business. The use of colored lighting can be used very effectively on your deck. It might even be a source of conversation when you entertain.

LED lighting is the way of the future and everyone's ticket to a greener home or business. You will save on energy, but at the same time bring better light to areas. As well, you do not have to change your light bulbs as often as traditional bulbs. You are saving your money on a newer, more superior product that gives real results.

What Materials Are Available to Help You learn Italian

By Bobbie McKee

There are a lot of materials around that can help you learn Italian. You just have to find them and then make use of what is available. Regardless of what these are called, they are all language courses. There are traditional ones audio, CD and those offered online.

When we refer to traditional language courses, we are talking about textbooks that have different types of exercises and dialogues that people can read and practice. This is what is being used in a few language centers. If you prefer to study this on your own, this is usually accompanied by cassettes and CD's.

A good example is the linguaphone which teaches students various languages. This and others focus on conversational language and at the same time introduce you to their version of the alphabet and other writing systems if it is needed.

As mentioned before, this is sometimes accompanied with a tape or CD but you can also buy this separately which helps you learn how to talk since there are instructions, exercises and explanations which all help you understand and speak the language.

Another way to study Italian comes in the form of CD's or DVD's. Once you buy it, you can upload this to your MP3 player which is easier to carry rather than your notebook.

There are also online language courses that can teach students Italian. Some of these sites charge students a fee while others are free. If you are not sure about paying for it, ask friends who have tried it in the past, work with the free ones first or just try your luck. Which one is better is hard to say because some free and paid sites are somewhat lacking in both accuracy and organization.

A cheaper way to learn Italian is with the help of phrase books and flash cards. The ideal phrase books to get are those that come with recordings of phrases as there are hints to help you how to pronounce them properly. If you want to use flash cards, make sure they say it in a conversational tone. If you can't find one, you can make it yourself by copying what is written in the phrase book.

It is also possible to learn the Italian language by subscribing to a magazine. Some are published monthly and comes with a CD inside that talk about various topics that could help improve your vocabulary.

Some people forget what they learn using these mediums which is why it pays to carry a dictionary wherever you go. Between the pocket versions and the bigger ones, it is advisable to get the larger dictionaries because it has more definitions, has examples of usage and information about grammar, pronunciation and even etymology.

Since carrying the larger dictionary could be difficult, why not settle for the electronic dictionary? They carry the same amount of information and even more. The only downside is that they are rather expensive.

Similar to the electronic dictionary is the electronic translator. Since it is programmed already to translate English to Italian and vice versa, you will find it very useful when you can't seem to find the right word.

There are a lot of materials available that can help you learn Italian. You just have to choose which one is the most convenient to use as this will put you on the right track to become conversant in this language.

Carpentry Career History

By Bobbie McKee

Carpentry career is one of the oldest professions. Carpentry dates back to the early days of man using crude tools. Ancient Greeks showed the skills in carpentry through the temples that they have built to show reverence for their gods and goddesses. While in Asia, ancient Japanese also showed their skill in carpentry through the buildings they have constructed. These buildings dates back to 7th century and some of these buildings are still standing up to this day.

We can trace the history of carpentry back to 8000 B.C. During this time, early people are using stone axes to construct their shelters. Several studies and researches showed that early Stone Age Europeans were building rectangular timber houses more than 100 feet long.

Egyptians were already using copper woodworking tools as early as 4000 B.C. These copper made tools evolved into bronze tools used in 2000 B.C. Egyptians were very proficient in drilling, dovetailing, mitering, and mortising wood.

The word carpenter was derived from the Latin word carpentarius. Carpentarius is the person who build the two- wheeled chariots called carpentum in Latin. Roman carpenters were already using adzes, saws, rasps, awls, gouges and planes.

In the Middle Ages, carpenters found work in large towns. They would travel along with their tools to other villages where a major construction project is ongoing. During this age, steel-edged hand tools were already part of the carpenter's toolbox. Skills in carpentry is already much developed because of the construction of ornate designs for churches and castles.

Carpenter guilds started in the twelfth century. There were three kinds of members in the guild: masters, journeymen and apprentices. The master was a carpenter with much experience and knowledge that takes an apprentice and trains them. The apprentice trained and lived with the master. He is provided with food, clothing and shelter but works without any payment.

After five to nine years, an apprentice can become a journeyman. A journeyman can already work for wages. Eventually, he could become a master. Carpentry guilds were the forerunners of the modern labour unions and associations.

In 1724, Carpenter unions were established to help workers in such things as regulated number of hours. Work hours used to be eleven hours but through the union efforts it was lessened to the present standard of eight hours. Benefits and assistance were also offered to unemployed members.

During the Renaissance period and afterward, carpenters were already constructing splendid buildings in this period. Meanwhile medieval carpenters were already using tools that can be found in modern toolboxes. As a matter of fact, in 1873 the electric power drill was used for the first time. The hand drill was developed in used in 1917. Electric portable saws were being used in 1925.

There was a city literally hammered together in the 1700's by carpenters. Much of the work was done by slaves that the builders own or hired, but the carpenters worked on the structures, smokehouses, dairies and other outbuildings. They also worked on the brick structures lay-outing. The colonial city that they built is the City of Williamsburg.

Colonial carpenters built the city of Williamsburg and it still stand today. This colonial city prides their historic attractions as testament to the skill of the colonial carpenters. There would be reenactments of colonial life in this city and the construction being done during the 1700s.

Nowadays a carpentry career is much easier with the aid of different electronic tools that make work easier and more efficient. But the heights reached by the current carpentry can never be accomplished without its rich history.

great digital camera buying tips

By george mathews

Achieving success when shopping for a digital camera can be as much about doing your homework and research, so you get the best digital camera at the best price. Digital camera shopping problems are common when consumers don't have all of the information they need.

1. Do Your Homework Before you begin shopping for a digital camera, you need to do a little homework. It's important to familiarize yourself with digital camera terminology, giving you the ability to understand a model's specification list. If you already have a digital camera, figure out why you even need a new one .Don't waste money on a camera that is more powerful than you need.

Taking into consideration only the price is a bad way to buy a camera.You also should take some time before shopping to figure out how you plan to use the camera. Read some reviews about the camera like consumer reports which will give more ideas about different models from different manufacturers.

2. Buying established brands. Off-brand digital cameras from unknown manufacturers might be really inexpensive, but they usually don't deliver the type of power, speed, and image quality that you'll want. The best thing to do is to build your Top 5 Favorites cameras from well known brands and start comparing their features and prices and making a decision.

Selecting the right lens is critical when purchasing a digital camera. If you are looking for inexpensive basic camera use fixed focal lens or auto focus lens.You'll also want to watch zoom measurements. A camera that promotes a 30X combined zoom might not offer a zoom lens as powerful as a camera that promotes a 10X optical zoom lens. Combined zoom can be misleading. Optical Zoom is a far more important measurement than either combined zoom or digital zoom. Underwater photography requires a waterproof camera or an underwater camera case. A few cameras are splash-proof for taking pictures in the rain or in dusty environments.

3. Right camera at the right price. A beginner shouldn't use a pro digital SLR because the controls are very difficult to use and the menu isn't that simple and intuitive at all. For beginner simple basic models will suffice. Some beginning consumers end up spending more than they need to, spending too much for features that they'll never use or that they don't understand how to use. Set a budget and stick to it. You need to shop around for the best deal first before you decide on one. Figuring out how you'll use your digital camera before you begin shopping can help you avoid spending too much. If you know which features will be most important to you, you can focus your spending on finding a model that is strong in those areas.

Affiliate Marketing Education - The Wealthy Affiliate way

By Steve Siemoreland

Getting yourself an Affiliate marketing education is one of best self improvement methods you can learn. Not only can it lead to a full time home business, you can learn it in your spare time, theres no rush to finish assignments given to you, and should you get stuck there is lots of help in the forums, or you can wait for your mentor to sort you out. The best thing is to start you need no stock, no money, and the best thing is its easy to learn. You are soon able to gain a good understanding of your affiliate marketing education with the help of those who already do this full time, and soon put it to use getting some extra cash.

Your own home business, thats what most just dream about wishing they could have a successful online business, but thats all most do just dream and never take any kind of action to make it reality. There is always a wall they just dont seem to be able to claim over. The right affiliate marketing education can help to brake that wall down, and as time go on all the other wall you may come to will seem a lot smaller in their statue, a quick leap and bound will have you over it in no time. The wealthy affiliates university provide in my opinion the best affiliate marketing education on the web at this time and as built their reputation on producing some of the highest earning affiliates on the web today.

The easiest way to explain what affiliate marketing is and is not. It is a real business, its not pie in the sky like most so called home business. This is how it works. you are the middle man/women, you set up a landing page and send targeted traffic to that page. Your visitors click on your affiliate link and you get a commission for the sale, simple, and you learn how to do that. to find and send the targeted traffic to your landing page once you are a member of the wealthy affiliates university you are learnt how to do this.

So this is how you become a wealthy affiliate marketer. A potential customer enters a keyword phase into a search engine looking for a product, you the affiliate knows that this particular product is hot in the market place, and you have set up your landing page to target those potential buyers. If your landing page sell them on the product ,their next step would be to make a purchase.

At that point the cookie is dropped on to the visitors computer, don't worry it's armless, the cookie which records the affiliates details allows the affiliate to get paud a commmison from the mearchant. Sounds easy doesnt it, well in practice it is with the right training.

It is my understanding that the wealthy affiliate university where most seem to learn their affiliate marketing education gives all the teaching materials for free with the students subscription, These include such things as. Web sites and landing pages. Tracking tools, site builders, rapid article writers and blueprints of successful niche products among other things.

Recently I was invited to their private forums as a gust, Browsing around I found myself lost in the success postings, they where truly motivating and delightful to read. It seemed that almost anyone who is willing to learn with the help of the more savvy affiliate marketers helping and teaching them some tricks, that any amount of success is truly accomplishable with the right affiliate marketing education.

You can pay a yearly or monthly subscription for your affiliate education , and all the educational resources are made available to the students. you are best to go for the monthly subscription just in case you don't get on with the work load. The eight week course is the first lessons you need to complete, theses are divide in to three categories, new , intermediate and advanced, so as you can see with just the eight week lessons there is lots to get done.

The affiliate business is ideal for anyone to earn extra income or build it in to a full time income that is of a high turnover each month it's flexible and runs on autopilot for the most once you have established your landing pages. Setting those up is easy, from the instructions given to you in your learning materials,

It is my understanding that all the tools needed to achieve and learn are given free by the wealthy affiliate university, so no money is needed except your monthly subscription. Web sites and landing pages. Tracking tools, site builders, rapid article writers and such are made available among other things.

Since the wealthy university was set up online back in 2004 it as come on in leaps and bounds. well over 90,000 have passed through, with many still staying around years later. theses are the back bone of the forums, and most of the new students lookup to them for help and guidance which is duly given. Advanced wealthy affiliates do a lot of the coaching should new students require it.

The offers of help received in the forums are of an high standard, and are not just two line explanations on how to proceed with your problem. I found this truly amazing the amount of thought that the advanced affiliate marketers put into sorting out the problems new students get them selves into. From reviewing their landing pages to sorting out their ppc campaigns and traffic to their sites.

Once you join , you only need to brows the forums to see for yourself the quality of help you can look forward to, when you need it most.

Understanding the ins and outs of the affiliate marketing business will help one decide whether this is something which one would dive in or not.

Stiff competition of course means lower potentials of you making money or thus earning commissions since this makes it more difficult for you to advertise your website and allow it be more visible to the public.

What is important to do here then is to work on a market which can be considered as a niche where the focus is going to be on the quality of the service or product rather than the price or its value. This way, it makes it a lot easier for you to market or promote the product as this will make your website more visible to the public. What this translates to then is that more potentials of earning income with affiliate marketing.

EMail Marketing Strategy for Every Business

By Fred Raley

One "must" for every business is email marketing. Since we began to use this method, our profits have not only jumped but our subscriber list grows each and every day. The perfect addition to each business is email marketing. Why is this? It gives another source of income to your business. Email marketing is powerful, easy and fully legal.

How can you go about advertising your services, products and business? The answer lies in email marketing. The basic idea is to get people to submit their email address to you as well as any further information you may need such as their first name in order for you to send your business information to. It can consist of a report about your business or one of your hot products. You can also send out coupons to lure people to come into your store. The ultimate reason for sending out coupons is to have people to spend more money in your store. The persons information is put into an autoresponder which can be preprogrammed to send out emails during specific times on a variety of subjects which may be of interest to your potential customers.

If you follow some simple rules, email marketing can be legal. What you want to do is to have a person volunteer to release their contact information to you knowing full well that they will be receiving information from you via email on subjects you describe. As long as the trust and privilege remains unbroken, you can continue to send emails to that person for as long as you like on the subject matter you have agreed to.

An email marketing strategy should be utilized by each and every business. If you have services or products to sell to people more than once, make sure that they will be able to get into contact with you. You should still try to get their name and email address as well as permission to send them your product information. You will be able to send out special offers, company and product information, news, etc. as you agree to. You will then have the chance of getting more potential sales. Barbers, hair salons, realtors and product stores such as Target and Walmart, restaurants and many more are all good places in which you can place your business cards and fliers. Every small business is able to use email marketing successfully.

The benefits of your own email marketing campaign are huge:

More profits from recommended sales products

Extra cash from special offers you make without added marketing expense

Extra cash from special offers you make without added marketing expense

If you want to move excess inventory, then have "special sales"

Remember birthdays and other holidays with special sales

Get new clients to buy from you solely because of your email marketing campaign

Get new clients to buy from you solely from email marketing campaign.

Make sales without having prospects come into your store

Setting up an email marketing campaign is easy. First, get a reliable autoresponder. Second, write a series of emails to your prospects, thanking them for opting into your email program and giving them the benefits you promised (i.e. coupons, discounts, information reports and the like.) Third, continue to use various ways to get people to give you their email address to put into your marketing system. Fourth, continue to offer products and services to the prospects on your email list. Your email list becomes another set of customers for you. As your subscriber list grows, so will your sales!

Traveling at the Last Minute?

By Bobbie McKee

...Tips for Booking Hotels

Whether you're doing it intentionally or it's just an unfortunate twist of circumstances, traveling at the last minute can be nerve-wracking. That is, if you come with an unprepared mindset. Since traveling unprepared can sometimes give you trouble regarding hotel bookings, here are tips on how you could land a place to stay even if you're making travel plans at the last minute:

Look for hotels at local websites. Websites offering tips and last minute booking deals abound but not many of them can be very helpful if you're trying to actually get accommodated. Instead of using websites that cater to a national or even international crowd, consider using local websites. These sites oven offer better (read: better) listings of hotels if you're traveling last minute. Global sites are often simply too expansive to actually give you the good deals.

Use multiple sites. It's rare to find last minute hotel bookings that offer reasonable prices in only one site. Use several different sites so you can compare. You might even come across really great deals - terrific if you're traveling on a budget.

Look for a local travel agent. Don't rely too much on your trusty travel agent. Even they sometimes don't get to help in terms of last minute hotel bookings during your travels. Instead, look up travel agencies in the locality where you're traveling to. You could probably find them online, at tourism websites or online yellow pages.

These local travel agencies have a better access on the actual availability of hotel rooms in their area. They should - they're located there. Call them up or send an e-mail to inquire.

Ask the local tourism office. If you're traveling to a popular destination, they usually have local tourism offices that you can turn to for assistance. It's the local government's way to show hospitability in order to encourage tourists to come visit. If you need booking for last minute hotels for your travel, try checking those in charge of local tours. They could guide you in finding a nice, safe place to stay for the duration of your trip.

An advantage here is that not many people do this often - they prefer the more beaten path of calling hotels, airlines and travel agencies. And since you'll be talking with the tourism office, you might want to get a few tips on finding the best hotels where you could experience the local flavors and offerings of your destination.

Check offers from low cost airlines. Many low cost airlines have affiliated hotels. These range from 4 to 5 star hotels to more simple accommodations courtesy of inns and hostels. You might want to check their websites for availability in case you're traveling any time soon. Many of these affiliated hotels can accept last minute bookings. An advantage: if you use the low cost airline for travel, you get all the information you need including hotel bookings from only one website.

Check out package tours. Sometimes, last minute hotel booking problems can be solved by simply checking out bundled tours. Some airlines, such as major carriers, might offer package tours that include not just hotel accommodations but also rental cars.

If you book a flight with any of these airlines, you could take advantage of their offers, get an airplane ticket, book a last minute hotel room and even have a car pick you up from and to the airport.

By Ashley Patrick

If you are someone who would like to be engaged in a part-time business that will provide you with the opportunity of increasing your earnings, then something which you would like to seriously consider is the affiliate marketing business. This kind of business though only carried out a few hours in a month will certainly open the door to big income potentials for you. There are even cases when a few hours spent in the business actually translate to pay which is equivalent to full-time earnings. There are a number of things which need to be kept in mind as one aspires to be successful in this type of business.

One surefire way of earning success in affiliate marketing is to make sure that you as the affiliate marketer have access to the right products and services. When we say that they are right, what we simply mean are those products and services which are needed and wanted by people.

A good way for you to get information on these items which are needed and wanted by people is to take part in message boards or forums. Being a member in these spaces, you will have good visibility on what people are talking about and what those things are which they in fact need and want. Dont be afraid to ask questions in case you have any. Remember, your goal is to get information.

Another option to identifying marketable items is to run a internet research on the products which are making it to the top when it comes to sales. As you further your knowledge about these things that sell, then you will be able to pinpoint to products which people actually want or need.

A good consideration in affiliate marketing is the creation of ones own website. This is yet one of the important things which needs to be put in place when you are aiming for success in this type of business. A good website provides you professionalism. What needs to be ensured here is the consistency between the theme of your website and that of products or services which you are actually promoting.

To further increase the number of people who visit your site, you may also want to resort to SEO or search engine optimization. This is good way if enhancing your chances in affiliate marketing. This ensures that your website is actually searchable for people.

In order for you to further your success, another good idea which you can do is to come up with a blog site. This blog site can be a good way of talking about your interest in the product or service which too is a very effective means of affiliate marketing. In this space, you can very well talk about things and post articles which are all related to the product or service that you are indeed promoting. This provides people with a fresh yet very informative means of reaching your website and getting to know more about the product and thus contributing to sales that you generate.

True to it, the affiliate marketing business is really a very feasible part-time opportunity for people.

How to Motivate People to Do Good

By Bobbie McKee

It's a common problem no matter where you are, and whether you're gathering donations for your church or a charitable organization: you can really have a hard time motivating people to do good. Try as you might, you will always bump against people who do not think that going to a homeless shelter for a night of volunteering is not as worthwhile as going to the club.

No matter how hard you work at it, it can be hard to convince people to help you fold clothes or gather canned goods for the less fortunate, especially when they have jobs that they think are more important than any other earthly activity. And no matter what you do, there will be people who will criticize your work as being a band-aid to other problems that should be solved.

Despite all these criticisms and setbacks, you should be able to do the work that you want without worrying about what people think. Moreover, you should be able to bank on a willingness on your part to motivate people to do what they can to help your cause out. How do you motivate people to do good? Here are a few tips that you may want to take into consideration.

- When starting off your marketing blitz to get people to listen to you, keep in mind that you are not preaching to the choir, but neither are you trying to make devils listen to you. You will have a healthy mix of people who both want to help and who don't really care. The key is to hit your note in the middle and not end up alienating any of them.

By being too solicitous and too pity-inducing, you end up irritating the people who don't care yet. By being too appealing to people's emotions, you may end up annoying the people who already do care and want to help out. Avoid being self-righteous or off handed. Remember, when you want to help people, you don't want to show how helpful you already are.

- Avoid using negative language, such as, "Don't go to the club tonight when you can help people!" You don't want people to feel that they are doing something that they should substitute with something that you are endorsing. This could lead them into thinking that you are trying to change them, and whenever people feel that their feelings and perceptions are being attacked, they will go on the defensive.

- If you are working with a charitable organization, try to tie in your work with something enjoyable. Have a dance party or rent out the club for a party and charge for entrance. Promise that you will give proceeds from your earnings to a charitable organization or cause. Have people dress up in costumes, and then give prizes away for the best costume, and ask people to bring canned goods with them.

Find a way to tie in your cause to something that people could do and have fun with. You want to look human, too, and you want to get as many people as possible. Just be sure to stay within the bounds of decency and you will be fine.

- Lastly, surround yourself with reputable people. No one wants to donate a cause that is associated with gangsters, thieves, or anyone who doesn't have a solid enough reputation. You want to have people around you that anyone can look up to and admire.
