Global Warming or Global Warning?

2008-03-22T15:48:00.000-07:00

As the Earth turns into a fiery hell exactly as the global warming alarmists predict, all of human life and human civilization will burn to a crisp on the scorched surface of the planet. Many people believe that global warming is being caused by mankind emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere.

In fact on one graph they will show you the increased in CO2 emissions from human civilizations and then they will show you another graph that charts the 1 1/2 percent increase in ambient surface temperatures on the planet over a 50 year period. Then they will say; see everyone, can see the data, obviously this is being cause by mankind?

About 6 years ago someone began tracking the sales of Prozac and began showing a chart of their sales next door to the chart of the stock market and the economy. When the sales of Prozac went up it matched the graph of the stock market. Nevertheless we know that the sales of Prozac have nothing to do whatsoever with the stock market or our nation's economy overall. And if so, just give every one Prozac to make the economy good, See everyone, can you see the data?

It should be a relatively easy consideration if you study logic and critical thinking, however apparently if the mass media says something over and over again enough times everyone will start believing it, which is completely and utterly ridiculous. But that is exactly what we have here with global warming.

Is it really global warming caused by mankind or is it more a global warning that there are cyclical changes occurring on earth with regards to our atmosphere and ambient surface temperatures? From a global warning perspective it does make sense to strengthen our civilizations and our infrastructure to handle the potential issues that lie ahead.

It does not make sense to crush our energy sector and weaken our economies over fear tactics that are completely invalid. If it is our intention to stop polluting that is a good thing. We should focus on that. Not the fear of global warming or some massive crisis that plagues the future of all living life on the service of the planet. I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought. The goal is simple; to help you in your quest to be the best in 2007. I thank you for reading my many articles on diverse subjects, which interest you.

Games Cheat

2008-03-20T19:45:00.000-07:00

Games cheat when I was in high school, I played video games every time and it kind of addicting. Each time I won the game against my computer or human opponent feels like very satisfying. But not all the time it,s a win-win situation because the application of game cheats those days is not yet accessible.

I envy the younger generation now (though I'm not that old) who have the opportunity to make use of game cheats in their consoles or in the game they are playing because they frequently triumph against their challengers. The other good thing is that game cheats are not illegal. game cheats just added more fun in playing video or computer games these days.

However, not all people agree in the application of game cheats. They are saying that cheating is dreadful trait and should not be tolerated even in playing video games. But do you know that the make of the games themselves are the ones publishing those game cheats? This is for the reason that they discern that not all ps2 gamers have all their time in gaming.

Some wanted to jump up to other levels as quick as possible. This is where game cheats are helpful because they are giving gamers more time for other things aside from having fun in video games. Moreover, games cheat is not really that bad, its objective is only just for pure enjoyment.

just like me, I am a busy body right now but I still wanted to be updated with video games. So I use game cheats whenever I occupy myself with video games. Game cheats has made my gaming life simpler and I am always ready to give another new game a try due to the fact that I already finished other games through games cheat application.

So is it advisable to apply games cheat? For me, of course yes. But it depends on the person if he wants to bring into play the games cheat or not. My point is that there is nothing immoral or illegal in using games cheat and others are doing it too.

Hello From Ottawa - Skating On The Rideau Canal - Officially The World's Largest Skating Rink

2008-03-20T16:13:00.000-07:00

There is no denying it: Ottawa is known is one of the coldest capitals in the world (only as far as temperatures are concerned though). But does that mean you stay at home during the winter and mope? Absolutely not! Ottawa has turned a potential liability into a key asset and really shows us how to celebrate winter.

First there is Winterlude, Ottawas winter festival, which is being held this year from February 3 to 19, 2006. Winterlude is apparently attended by more than 650,000 winter revellers and encompasses a myriad of events: concerts, special events, culinary demonstrations, restaurant festivals and the list goes on. Skating on the Rideau Skateway, at almost 8 km the worlds largest icerink., was our main reason for coming to Ottawa. Indeed we had travelled to Ottawa about 3 years ago and due to warm weather Winterlude was a total washout for us that year (I guess the appropriate term for that event would be "Waterlude").

But our earlier experience didn't deter us, so this year Theresa and I decided to come back and pray for better weather so we would indeed be able to check out this phenomenal skating and entertainment venue for ourselves.

Incidentally, the Rideau Canal Skateway has been recognized by the Guiness Book of World Records as the world's largest naturally frozen ice rink. The skateway is 7.8 kilometers long and takes you from the Rideau Bridge all the way to Dow's lake.

We got going early just around 10 am on an absolutely perfect winter day, but even at that time, the skateway was packed, and the walkthrough over the frozen ice from Confederation Park to the skateway entrance on the other side of the river was chock full with people in a long lineup.

We laced up our skates and put our boots in our backbacks which would give us the flexibility to get off the ice at any time and continue our explorations on foot. Or if we got too tired, we could even hop on the "Sno-Bus" which connects Dow's lake with Confederation Park during the entire Winterlude Festival for the low fee of $2.50 (more information on the OC Transpo site) .

But, apparently we didn't need a Sno-Bus, we skated our way down on this wonderful natural ice surface all the way to the lake and didn't even need to rest. On this gorgeous day with crystal blue skies and perfect winter weather and amazingly no winds, skating on the Rideau was a phenomenal experience. We could indeed not have picked a better day to explore the Rideau Canal on skates.

At different intervals along the way there were a variety of rest areas, food concessions and special entertainment or information areas. Well represented of course is a famous Ottawa trademark: the Beavertails concession booths which sell freshly made warm pastry, sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon. The perfect snack and energy source on a cold winter's day.

At the Via Rail Concord Station Rest area an exhibit shed light on Ottawa's railroad history. Apparently many years ago, trains would arrive in downtown Ottawa right next to the Rideau Canal. At Fifth Avenue, young sports fans were enjoying the canadian Tire JUMPStart Activity Centre where they were jumping through the air on a trampoline system and putting their hockey skills to the test.

At Pig Island a special area with teepees was set up to get a taste of Aboriginal traditions, culture and cuisine. In addition the area featured a loggers' exhibit, a snowshoe-making workshop and aboriginal songs and drumming.

Once arrived at Dow's lake I went on to explore the 26th Annual Bed Race, a fundraising event which proved to be an absolutely hilarious experience, for a good cause no less. The Bed Race is organized by the Ottawa Kiwanis Club and the proceeds, close to $50,000 will go towards the Children's Read-A-Thon.

A young hockey star tests his skills at the canadian Tire JumpStart Activity Centre

But I had more to cover, so I started skating back towards the downtown and by this time the skateway had filled up quite a bit. It seemed like young and old, the whole family was out. Parents were pulling their children on little sleds, or even pushing them in all-terrain baby carriages. Everybody was having a ton of fun.

On the way back one person struck my attention: a young lady on red skates with red gloves and a red scarf was skating down the canal, juggling, apparently just having a ball of a time. I approached her to find out a bit about her. She introduced herself as Sylvie, and shared with me that she is part of a juggling family and that juggling is in her blood. She said that juggling is her life, and although she doesn't drive the fanciest car, she is happy because she gets to do what she loves.

After all this skating I got really hungry, so I took off my skates and simply headed up to the Rideau Centre, one of Ottawas biggest shopping centres. It is located right next to the Canal and was positively packed on this day. The Rideau Centre offered a welcome opportunity to warm up and catch a nice lunch in its food court.

Obviously I love outdoor activities as well as urban exploring, and skating on the Rideau Canal through downtown Ottawa combines both activities perfectly. I got a brief taste of this special winter activity, and one thing is for sure: I'll be back!!!

Selecting a Toll Free number?

2008-03-19T18:20:00.000-07:00

Toll Free numbers have gone a long way; nowadays there are hundreds of toll free companies and resellers out there that provide the same basic features. Enhancements on telephone applications enabled toll free service to acquire most if not, all of the telephone applications inherent in landline services.

Consumers now look for quality of service provided by telecommunication companies with respect to appropriate pricing. The advancement of T1 lines and their corresponding circuits, colocation and cooperation between competing companies now allowed to consumer to call different networks which was just a dream 10 years ago. now wireless phones, VoIP phones, enhanced landline, drives voice communication to its peak.

Analysts believe that wireless communication is going to take over as the main medium of mass media in the near future as wireless bandwidth becomes faster and more secure. Businesses are now trying to integrate as much of their well-invested telecommunication products to wireless and web based applications. Toll Free numbers are a staple for a successful business venture, proven again and again by many different experts, white papers, feasibility studies and old fashion experience. Technology convergence remains fast but what will happen to toll free numbers?

VoIP long distance companies are able to provide toll free service, which is nothing, more than a collect call forwarding service at a much cheaper price than most stand alone toll free providers. Consumers are still wary of using VoIP phone, which have major disadvantages such as calling emergency numbers like 911. Consumers believe that the lack of access to such important government service is not worth the price of reduced long distance cost.

Toll free numbers however, which are dependent on incoming rather than out going minutes are less affected by this and is able to fight and win on a service price war.

The minute cost of toll free numbers has been drastically reduced for the past few years but are they really cheaper? Toll free providers have found myriads of ways to increase profit by adding additional monthly service fees on top of your phone subscription, minimum monthly minutes, expiring pre paid minutes, and the biggest scam of all to win the price war is the multiple leg pricing scheme.

Toll Free numbers as explained before are call forwarding service, which effectively makes it 2 phone calls. The first call from the original caller to the toll free service provider, then another call from the toll free service provider to the service subscriber. This is a great opportunity to charge for more while legally advertising a cheaper price. This annoys consumers but found it difficult to change service provider or acquiring a new number. Vanity numbers are hard to find and takes a week to register. For most businesses the cost of changing service providers is very expensive on wasted time and opportunities

A lot of consumers dont know that their numbers are portable and can be used on any service provider assuming proper legal procedures have been done; this normally takes just as long as registering a new vanity number. There are people who also thought that Telcos such as AT&T have more numbers in their database for them to choose from, what they dont realize is that all toll free companies get their number availability from the same place.

Today even experienced toll free service subscriber still fall for tricks made by service provider to make money. The best advice for a good deal is the same as any other consumer advice, shop around, be thorough, and find great toll free service providers out there.

Get Caught in the Web at a Spider - Man Birthday Party

2008-03-19T07:33:00.000-07:00

spider-man is famous for leaping from building to building and now he can bound into your home for a spider-man birthday party. Boys of all ages long to pull on spider-mans suit and shoot webs and bound around town. Bring this home for his next birthday.

Invitations for the spider-man party can be purchased at any party supply store or can be created from home. Use the theme colors of red, black and blue card stock and draw webs on the cover. Invite the guests to party with Zach Martin and his super hero pal spider-man on July 14, 2008.

Extend this color palette of the spider-man party invitations to the decorations of the party. Again many of these items can be purchased pre made but for an inexpensive route use red, black, and blue streamers, balloons and decorations to liven up the party. Feel free to incorporate both the movies and the cartoons into the party to give the overall feel of spider-man. Take black streamers to create a spider web hanging from the wall or ceiling.

A spider-man cake can easily be made or decorated with webs and Spider-man figurines. Make sure to include his nemeses green Goblin, Scarecrow and Doc Ock as party of the cake decorations.

A terrific craft and party favor for any spider-man party would be having the guests make their own spiders. Use black napkins, pipe cleaners and googly eyes to create an easy craft that guests can take with them once the party is over.

Using some of these ideas at the next spider-man party will have all guests tied up in the web of excitement.

Setting Up a Wireless Network - What You Need

2008-03-18T18:37:00.000-07:00

Are you thinking of setting up a wireless network for your home or workplace? Interested in having the luxury of going from one room to another without having to depend on wiring systems creeping inside your walls just to retain your connection with your computer?

but, how should you do this? Is setting up a wireless network hard to do? Do you need to be a tech-savvy person so you can install and set up this work successfully?

The First Thing to Bear in Mind:
One of the first few things that you may have to do in setting up a wireless network is determining what wireless network you would need since there are various options available in the market.

To zero in on a particular choice that would suit your needs, be sure to understand what it entails. Search the internet for additional information if necessary. Or, ask your friends, family, or colleagues on whats the best thing to use.

Knowing Where to Locate a Vantage Point or Point of Access:
Point of Access (AP) is crucial in setting up a wireless network. It involves the following configuration settings that you need to implement:

Connection settings
Wired interface settings
Security settings

Asking for Help:
Sometimes, the task at hand may seem difficult - even with the access point configurations; and you may be confused with what the next thing to do is.

times like these, it would be wise to call or get in touch with a support group. You can use the help of the vendor if you are sure to have purchased the things you need from a reliable source.

If you have troubles with the access point, be sure to understand that the three things that you need to set up includes the RF (or radio frequency), the perceived distance with your access points, and the IP address of that connection.

Managing Your Ethernet interface:
The next thing you need to do after configuring the setting of your point of access is the selection of the things that youll need to get you started: speed and duplex settings.

However, you may find that there are other manners of set-ups that may not require you to do this since these features are set up automatically after you have provided a suitable point of access.

Purchasing a laptop:
With a wireless network, it is suitable that a laptop be used instead of the desktop computer version. However, this doesnt mean that you have to ditch your desktop for this reason since there are some customers who still use their desktops together with their wireless network at their offices or homes.

Ensuring Your Security:
Security measures are crucial in wireless connections and you have to be sure to have this since there may be instances when a complete stranger can listen in to your private conversations traveling through the airwaves with your wireless settings.

It is true that setting up a wireless network may seem difficult at first when it is your first time to deal with it. but, if you are good with following directions and see to it that everything is done well, setting up a wireless network can be easily configured even if you are a mere beginner or arent that knowledgeable in technical stuff.

Natural Ways To Boost Your Sexual Potency

2008-03-18T15:22:00.000-07:00

If your sexual potency is decreased after sunny summer days do not be anxious, it's quite normal! Keep reading, on the next lines you'll find out few recommendations and a special formula to overcome these hard days!

According to mythology, love goddess Aphrodite was known by her own formulated preparations and ointments that she makes for her lovers to increase their sexual power. This is why today we call all stimulating elixir as aphrodisiac, but nowadays men are not such lucky, and this article is highly recommended especially to people living in big cities.

Without doubt best aphrodisiac are the sun, a good sleep and fresh air. A good sleep is necessary for the body to pack itself up, to increase its energy and revitalize its hormones. The sun light and heat is a powerful doping for our body including sexual hormones. The main reason of men's vitality in holidays is being relaxed in fresh air. But in autumns cloudy days some natural supplements may help a lot.

Magical power of foods:

Basil, clove, ginger, onion, tomato, radish, celery, egg, carrot, red pepper, oats, asparagus, fresh onion, chestnut, hazelnut, pistachio nut, coconut, cucumber, oyster, caviar are main foods to improve your sexual power. Having them in your weekly menu selections would be a wise choice. Specially, foods containing vitamin E like pistachio, almond, hazelnut and walnut are natural drugs for impotence and erectile disorders.

Red is good for men's vitality:

When we say aphrodisiac we generally mean supplements for men because they are required to be active in sexual relationships. In other words, for a successful lovemaking, men must be aroused, erected, and stay erected! For a man's vigor red color is vital. In astrology Mars represents man and its sexual potency, and Mars's symbol is red. For men's sexual vitality red colored foods and drinks are highly recommended, as red pepper, red ginseng...

Besides this is the reason of using red light, red underwear, red sheets... to create erotic environments. Also red coral or ruby stone may help to increase man's energy. Men wearing always pale, pastel and dark colored dresses will get less attraction and less excitement!

Red color and stones may also help to activate women's sexual feelings but the must strong aphrodisiac for a woman is love and affection added into careful lovemaking!

Besides vegetable aphrodisiac, vitamins are helpful for a successful sex life. Especially vitamin E is vital for men. You can get vitamin E in pills or through natural foods (especially hazelnut contains many minerals and essential fat acids). To overcome the fatigue syndrome due to modern life and high technology, vitamin B is strongly advised.

Avoid depression:

Behind many sexual troubles, some nutritional and hormonal disorders and depression may reside. After a serious depression or a disorder, along with natural supplements, help of a psychiatrist (sexologist) and a nutrition expert may be needed!

Heavy training may be harmful:

For healthy sexual life a light training program is as useful as aphrodisiac. A regular and continuous exercise program will balance your metabolism and hormonal system to keep your body sexually active. But beware of heavy and tiring training programs because an extra low fat texture may cause a performance decrease.

yoga, meditation and many other positive energy techniques are recommended to purify your brain against stress. Right breathing is also important for powerful sexual potency. If you insist on heavy training you have to pay special attention for a proper and healthy nutrition program.

A Special Sexual Potency Booster Formula:

Put 1 kg. of a good quality flower honey into a (glass is better) pot, add 250 g. powdered ginger, 100 g. powdered Indian saffron, 50 g. peeled and pounded green cardamom, 1 g. saffron, 5 g. pounded coriander, 4 sweet spoons of pounded stinging nettle seeds, 2 sweet spoons of royal jelly, 4 sweet spoonful of pollen, 100 g. unshelled and pounded pistachio nut and 100 g. of pine nut. Stir and mix the whole with a wood spoon, and store the pot in a cool and gloomy place. If you don't have any allergy or illness against those ingredients, eat one tablespoon 2 times (morning and night) in a day.

The Nintendo Wii is the most affordable of all GenX gaming systems. The negative in the Wii is short battery life, no advanced HD graphics or surround sound and inability to play CDs or DVDs.

What Nintendo Wii brings to gaming is an affordable console with motion sensitive controllers and a focus on fun filled gaming.

Golfers Need Many Talents

2008-03-14T20:42:00.000-07:00

So you think that golf is easy?

O.K., So I toss a little white ball on the ground and puck it with a fat-headed metal stick till it falls in a hole..how hard can that be?

The Journey Begins:

A friend of mine contends that every round of golf is different even if played on the same course on the same day in the same conditions and I agree with him 100%. golf is one of those sports with so many factors involved so as to make it almost quantum and chaotic by nature. I have often felt like a sea captain, driver in hand standing two meters behind a teed ball and overlooking the sea from the port as I prepare to launch my vessel on a fantastic journey. Bending to the ground to remove a pinch of grass between thumb and forefinger then standing erect to momentarily survey the terrain before tossing the light green strands skywards to get some indication of the winds movement. This ancient ritual alone bonds me with my long dead ancestors who lived before our advanced tools of navigation. Watching the grass gives the golfer and idea of the winds strength and direction. Do these current wind conditions allow me to drive straight or should I play right and let the ball be carried back around by the strong breeze? The golf game now enters the realm of applied mathematics or physics. Each Golf club representing a different distance and height depending on the stance one takes, the individual grip and swing of the golfer (and strength thereof) and the pivot or openness of the golf club face etc. Another factor could be the mental or nervous stress. Are you playing alone or in a tournament? The patience of a vicar and the courage of a G.I. can also be invaluable assets in your golf arsenal. Relatively happy with your drive you leave the safety of the tee and the voyage begins.

In Full Sail:

Personally I find electric golf carts a nuisance and distraction unless of course you are handicapped or elderly but golf trolleys are fine in order to avert back damage through long years of carrying golf clubs for hundreds of miles. So being in a good health condition is also a requirement for the game of Golf. Striding down the fairway you reach your golf ball and it is plugged in sponge-like ground. Taking out your archeology tools you begin to excavate. Then enters the new aspects of law and conscience as fair play and sportsmanship are required dropping the golf ball the prescribed distance in accordance with the rules of the game. How good is the new placement and how far away from the green are you? Has the wind changed? Oh! Oh! A wide bunker and tall tree stand in the trajectory path so I need to play a high golf shot. I don my aviators cap and prepare for flight. Having plotted in a course both long and high the golf ball leaves the grass runway and sails high out of the metaphoric airport. Pausing momentarily I watch as it lands safely on the green.

Reaching Your Destination:

The adventure so far has proved rather predictable leaving you with a comforted feeling of smugness. Arriving at the green you prepare to enter the next phase of this multi-personality game of golf. Bending to one knee you survey the grooves and texture of the landscape like an experienced engineer. Walking the distance between golf ball and pin to check for any obstacles that may be laying on the surface the physicist/mathematician returns to calculate the angles and force need to complete the journey. The putter strikes the ball firmly and the echoing hollow plink sound closes a chapter in the days book.

Epilogue:

true, you may be familiar with every ridge, nook and cranny of a course which you regularly frequent but the constantly changing conditions such as weather, seasons, personal fitness/mental level, course upkeep (pin position/tee distance changes), skill level, playing style, golf club brand etc. can make each round of golf a unique experience.

Advertising: Friend, not Foe!

2008-03-14T19:21:00.000-07:00

They say advertising is excessive: it interrupts TV series, preceding movie shows and dominating music award ceremonies. Some even lament that advertising not only occupies the media, but is also present everywhere else; the latest music editor softwares could be seen at bus shelters, and online VoIP products pictured in public telephone booths. It is irrelevant and disruptive.

If you agree with my last sentence above, continue reading. You might decide to change your mind.

first of all, I dont think advertisers occupy the media. As a matter of fact, it is the media that courts companies, maybe except for over-popular shows. TV stations need funds to run your favorite programs, and radio broadcasts have to pay for the Music on Demand. It boils down to us consumers: we demand, and the media provides, at a price of course.

Ah, you might now argue that it is the advertisers who flock to the media and pay for available ad space. True! But how many time slots are so coveted over? Shows like the super Bowl Football are rare. Other less endowed channels, in fact, have some hard time securing long-term ad contracts to be financially sufficient. It is thus fair to conclude that advertisers and the media, and us, are in a multilateral relationship.

Besides its commercial relevance, there is more to this misunderstood industry that we often miss out on, like how advertisements might effect cultural understanding, especially in this globalizing world of business. HSBC features newspaper ads of cultural differences across countries. FedEx has their TV ads filmed in Japan, showing the way Japanese people live and work. And I actually learned from a MasterCard ad that in India, people release white doves for luck. Interesting, isnt it?

In addition, informative ads feed useful information to our preoccupied minds. Public service messages could be conveyed effectively through ad-works on air. And people get to know the latest products available on market during review hours. I mean, it would be a pity if we work so hard to produce all these commodities just to, in the end, know nothing of them. And because we work so hard, we could hardly afford to find out about whats going on ourselves. Informative ads keep our society functioning as it is meant to.

But most of all, advertisers are creative (e-mails are not advertisements; they are spam). The appealing advertisements that crack you up or hook your eyes for the hundredth time take much more than the 30 seconds of airtime. Creativity, and the resulted attention, increases sales, and the advertising environment is so competitive nowadays it truly stimulates the human edge of creativity and nurtures it to flourish. Advertising signifies the human drive to succeed.

To me, what makes modern advertising desirable, besides bridging cultural gap, informing the populace or generating new ideas, is that it empowers every individual possible. It no longer takes an established firm to put up an ad. Any one anywhere can promote their ideas, products and even themselves through the thriving medium of the internet. 15-year-olds can now economically design and effect ads to promote their companies (yes, dont look down on these young entrepreneurs). Any one could adopt different voices using voice changer softwares, and edit audio as well as video ads with the many music editor softwares and video editor softwares available. Because advertising could so omnipotently enable far-reaching creativity of expressions, it is relevant to our human society that values progressing thoughts and selective reception of ideas.

The staunchest critics of advertising might ask, what would be the future of advertising, now when people are able to get rid of the commercials. MythTV offers a plug-in that automatically filters out commercials during recording, whereas video editor softwares allow you to freely cut out unwanted ads from pre-recorded clips. Yes, people are actually paying to be free of advertisements.

But hey, think again! Advertising is not that inconsiderate. Have you ever listened to radio broadcasts so excessively loaded with audio commercials its impossible to follow? And advertising might be excessive and disruptive, but I suppose only to a minority few. In fact, like I have said, informative ads are actually desirable. Dont you or your children feel excluded if you are not aware of the new iPod, or the latest music editor gadgets?

Trust the media. They are doing their work. Isnt Google putting into place keyword-related ads to better suit your preference? Trust the authority, too. They approve all circulating ads, or at least those we often see. And most of all, trust the advertisers. We are mutually dependent; we need them for our TV shows, and they need our money votes.

Cell Phone GPS Tracking - Privacy Issues

2008-03-14T18:24:00.000-07:00

Although there are many advantages to cell phone gps tracking, there are also privacy concerns. As most people carry their cell phone with them at all times, the ability is in place to track the exact movements of all individuals. Is this a case of Big Brother, and who can access to this information?

Cell Phone gps tracking can prove useful in many walks of life and especially when an emergency arises. Picture the scene of a road accident where injuries have occurred. A 911 call made from a gps cell phone would significantly speed up the arrival of the emergency services if the GPS signal from the cell phone can be pin-pointed to an exact location. This feature alone could save many lives.

For these reasons the FCC has instructed that wireless network providers provide the cell phone GPS tracking location information for 911 calls which have been made from cell phones. This is known as E911. In essence this is no different than a 911 call made from a land line, as the land line is registered to an address and the relevant emergency services can be quickly dispatched to that address.

However, where the difference occurs is that a property does not move but the tracking of a GPS cell phone is registering the day to day movements of an individual, and that has given rise to the privacy concerns of who can access such private information.

However, the relevant law relating to E911 is fairly explicit. It allows carriers to provide tracking location information to third parties for e911 emergency calls only, however not under any other circumstances whatsoever without the consent of the cell phone owner.

The privacy of cell phone GPS tracking has also been backed up by a number of recent court hearings. Recent court hearings have disallowed the requests of law enforcement agencies to obtain cell phone GPS tracking information from the cell phone companies for suspects. The courts have ruled that Congress have not authorized location tracking without actual evidence of wrongdoing and that probable cause is not sufficient reason for the release of records.

These events will ensure that the advantages of cell phone GPS tracking will not be compromised by privacy issues and that its long term future and usefulness is secured.

Why It Is Becoming Hard To Decrease Flood Insurance Premiums In The UK?

2008-03-14T05:06:00.000-07:00

The last few years have seen the amount of rainfall in the UK increase and in the past few months especially there have been horrific scenes of homes devastated and in some cases entire towns cut off for weeks at a time. It is with all of this in mind we take a look at why it is becoming hard to decrease flood insurance premiums in the UK.

Over the past 5 decades the UK has seen a massive boom in the need for housing as the population of the country has grown from around 36 million people to a massive 58 million people . This has put a massive strain on the need for affordable housing and many new estates with the expansion of towns have been built on flood planes!

A flood plane would have been the land that in times of heavy rain and swelling rivers would have flooded and offered some relief to the rivers during the flooding and the waters would have drained away. Unfortunately due to the fact that there are now properties and roads built on this land the water still floods but doesn't drain away as easy.

This leaves behind it a great deal of devastation as the waters don't only cause damage as they flood the properties but the mud and the disease that the waters can leave behind can make the properties uninhabitable for months to come. This is some of the reason that getting a decrease flood insurance premium is less likely than before.

There is also the gamble of flood insurance, if you get flood insurance included in your policy then you are likely to get an increase on the cost, however you will in the next few years see an increase in the price of home and content insurance as the insurance companies continue to regain the money that it will be costing them (an estimated 3 Billion Pounds) to put right the issues that the current floods have caused.

Can you expect to see a decrease flood insurance premium over the next few years, probably not, as the climate continues to change and the unexpected weather conditions get worse and more unpredictable then the cost will more than likely rise but is it worth not getting the insurance? Personally I think you would be mad not to protect your home and belongings.

Find more valuable information from Home Flood Insurance and make sure that you are not caught by the next major weather event.

Importance of Controlling Your Mind

2008-03-14T03:14:00.000-07:00

Since ancient times, the human philosophers have realized the importance of mind in governing the human affairs. They knew that a persons external circumstances were the result of his internal thoughts. They were aware that if the person thought riches, he would be riches, while the thoughts of poverty, success and failure would produce the corresponding effects in the persons circumstances. Today, modern science has acknowledged the truth of these findings. Hence it becomes crucial for a person to control his mind.

yoga has specific techniques which deal with the science of mind control. We will study the nature of mind as is recognized by yoga in this chapter. Shankaracharya has defined mind in four different ways as per its functions: manas for the job of resolving and doubting; buddhi for the decision and judgment; asmita for the consciousness of its individual existence and chita for remembering the previous experiences. Mind is a vast collection of thoughts and traces of the past experiences. When you are born, your mind is the collection of samskaras collected over the previous births. Those samskaras, whose fruits have already been enjoyed have been wiped out. But as you grow up, new samskaras are being added continuously due to various acts performed by you from birth to death. This translates into the law of karma which states that the events one faces in his life are the results of the activities done by him in the past and his mind at birth contains the samskaras from his previous births. Our

yoga recognizes five factors, basic to the mind of every person. They are called kleshas because they are the forefathers of every human misery. They are: avidya which is the false knowledge or ignorance of ones true self in relation to the objects; asmita or ego feeling since in yoga, body and soul are two different aspects; raga is the liking of pleasurable experience; dvesha or aversion to pain; abhinivesha or fear of death. yoga understands the human behaviour from the perspective of these five qualities which are assumed to be present in a person since birth and are considered as the impurities of the mind. They make a person unstable and agitated. Hence yoga has given way of dhyana and pranayam to cleanse your mind.

Helicopter Mountain Rescue In Snowdonia

2008-03-13T13:01:00.000-07:00

When a female climber slipped and fell while scrambling on the cliffs of Craig Yr Ysfa below Carnedd Llewelyn in Snowdonia, the rescuers who were first on the scene recognized that her leg injuries required immediate treatment. Fortunately for her, help was at hand in the form of RAF 22 Squadron's Sea King helicopter, and she was in hospital in Bangor within the hour.

Snowdonia in north Wales contains some of the best mountain walking and climbing areas in the UK. Besides Snowdon itself, there are several other peaks above the 3000 ft mark, and these are surrounded by steep crags and sheer cliff faces which are often the site of accidents, either as a result of fallen climbers, or walkers who have slipped from a path. When accidents occur, members of the Ogwen Valley mountain Rescue team are called out, and if they require assistance to move the casualty quickly to hospital, a Sea King Mark 3 SAR (Search and Rescue) helicopter from RAF Valley on the Isle of Anglesey can be on the scene within 20 minutes.

The Sea Kings are operated by C Flight 22 Squadron (C Flt), one of the busiest SAR flights in the UK, carrying out around 300 rescue missions every year, and since the Flight formed at Valley in 1956, over 6000 rescue missions have been flown. Sea Kings have been operated by 22 Squadron since 1997, replacing the Wessex which took over from the Westland Whirlwind in 1976, and provide increased range and load capacity, plus enhanced night and bad weather performance. Helicopters are on standby 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and can be airborne within 15 minutes. Although their main function is to perform search and rescue missions for RAF aircrew, the bulk of their activity is centered on civilian rescues, often assisting mountain rescue teams across the UK.

The Sea King is manufactured by AgustaWestland in the UK, and is powered by two Rolls-Royce H1400 1T turboshaft engines, providing 2,700shp. It has accommodation for a 4-man crew, and up to 19 passengers, or nine stretchers and two medical officers. The Mark 3A is equipped with advanced all-weather radar, navigation and Global Positioning Systems, and when hovering can be controlled by the winch operator, who can position the rescue harness directly above the casualty. The winch operator also controls the hydraulic hoist, rated at 600lb. The Sea King has a range of 280 nautical miles, with a maximum speed of 143 mph at sea level, and helicopters from 22 Squadron, who are based at RAF St Mawgan in Cornwall, carry out rescue operations all around the united Kingdom, as well as mountain rescues in Snowdonia.

The Sea Kings are a familiar sight to hill walkers and climbers, and its a comforting thought to anyone who ventures into the mountains that should the worst happen, the big yellow helicopter will quickly be on the scene.

Making A Preventive Stop With Pool Covers

2008-03-13T01:08:00.000-07:00

Summer time is approaching and it is already tempting to take a plunge in your swimming pool. Sunday gatherings and barbeque weekends beside the pool is becoming more and more popular during this time. But in as much as we would like to enjoy the poolside activities, danger also finds its space in every poolside gathering.

Statistics shows that accidental pool drowning is one of the causes of deaths for children 5 years and under. And if we would try to analyze this, we would realize that the useless loss of childrens lives could be completely prevented.

Securing the pool is very important if we want to prevent these children deaths from happening. But draining the pool as a preventive measure would not ensure the safety of the children. Oftentimes, it contributes to the danger, as pools are still open. And if we only drain the water from the pool, the risk does not diminish.

The total solution to this problem is by using pool covers.

pool covers are designed to keep the pool maintained if not in use while protecting your children from drowning. It will keep the children safe even if they play unattended near the pool.

But the benefits of pool covers do not end here and pool covers job is not limited on this particular function. pool covers also let you save money during hot and dry weather. As pool covers secure the people from the outside, they also maintain the water inside. During the intense summer heat, uncovered swimming pools of a normal size lose more than 800 gallons of water in a week. But if you are going to use pool covers, the loss will be minimal or totally controlled since pool covers keep the waters in tact because they do not allow the water to evaporate.

It is not only water that pool covers protect. The chemicals such as chlorine would also be maintained. And due to the high cost of this chemical, it is wise to cover your pool rather than refilling your pool every time it demands.

If your swimming pool happens to be located indoor, pool cover can also reduce the amount of energy required to keep the area ventilated. pool covers also keep the building maintained. This is because pools have chemicals that evaporate and could cause corrosion to the building. Directly affected from this is the metal fixtures, window frames, and other metallic objects near the pool area.

Compared to uncovered pool, pools with covers cut the maintenance cost as it eliminate the need for frequent cleaning. This in turn would not require you to hire and pay a person to clean the pool for you pool covers protect the pool from dirt, debris, sand, leaves, and other particles that may cause the water to become dirty.

Pool covers save a lot of energy and keep your water bill to a minimum as they protect the water clean and safe. Pool covers save lives of innocent children by keeping them off the water that can cause sure drowning. Pool covers let the family enjoy the summer weekend without worrying so much about the maintenance of the pool. And to top it all, pool covers keep you and your children safe while keeping the water and your bill clean.

Lumines - An Expensive Demo

2008-03-12T20:38:00.000-07:00

After waiting a few months for Lumines to hit the xbox Live arcade, I was finally able to buy it on Wednesday. Unfortunately, I only got a fraction of the game. The description doesnt tell you that you are not buying a complete game; it just says that there is plenty of downloadable content. Which translates to, you can buy the rest of the game if you liked the demo. This demo cost me $14.99. In order to have access to all of the game modes I need to shell out more money for four additional packs.

Here is what the core game comes with:

Challenge Mode: Base
skin Edit Mode
time Attack Mode
multiplayer Mode
VS CPU Mode (1 Sample Opponent)
Puzzle Mode (5 Sample Puzzles)
Mission Mode (5 Sample Missions)

Here is what is unavailable in the core game:

Challenge Mode: Advance
VS CPU Mode (Full)
Puzzle Mode (Full)
Mission Mode (Full)
Real Music Videos

As you can see, the core game comes with 3 extremely dull single player modes and a multiplayer mode. The only pack available to buy at this point is the Advance Challenge Pack for $7.50. I assume the other three packs will cost at least that much, so you are looking to spend approximately $44.99 on the entire game. That is not including any extra content that may come down the line.

I personally dont think Lumines is worth that much but thats beside the point. The core game, worth no more than $5 in my opinion, is not very satisfying. You are almost forced to buy an extra pack or two in order to enjoy the game. I can understand why it is broken up into five different downloads, but it is extremely dishonest to go about it in the way they did. Many people, including myself, would have had second thoughts about purchasing it had the description been clear.

Hopefully microsoft will get their act together. The xbox 360 would be nothing without xbox live; it would be a shame to let greed destroy it.

Simple Tips To Rugidize A PC For Use As A Carputer

2008-03-12T19:34:00.000-07:00

The case mod above was preformed on a 1U rack chassis, that would later become a carputer. Rackmount chassis architecture works well for car computers despite their large size. They are built with cooling, reliability, and performance in mind. With a few modifications they can also be very robust ruggedized servers, perfect for music, GPS, DVDs, or mobile file sharing.

The number one thing to keep in mind while constructing your carputer is, the harsh environment it will face. Often addressed are the non-conditioned power the system will use and even the heat. What is overlooked by a lot of people is vibration, and shock. The same stresses that can destroy a hard drive can in time also cause a wire to rub through and short. The first line of defense against this is securing everything you can. I prefer to use duct tape in the areas where I can. care must be taken to avoid areas there it could become a short risk. zip-ties will help with any areas where duct tape is un-suitable.

The next line of defense is isolation mounts. These tiny mounts will not only dampen vibration, but also deflect shock. Often used in military application, as well as high end home audio, they are prefect for protecting your mobile electronics.

fast Booting tips A fast booting system is a must in a car computer or ruggedized workstation. In this area *nix operating systems, unix/solaris/irix/linux, have the edge. Sub 15 second boots are obtainable under those operating systems. windows while not my preferred beast, is better suited as an OS for most car computer applications. Lack of drivers, x-fi creative labs/SRX wireless/misc, make windows a smoother deployment. Keeping in mind the need for scalability, there are a few simple tricks to speed booting. Due to motherboard and chipset differences we will focus on software tweaks here. In windows a tool called bootvis can speed up your boot time in a few steps on its own. Before you do that, its a good idea to run msconfig. Make sure fastenable and nogui are enabled. Beyond that, stop any services from running at start up that you don't need. From the same utility you can also stop any programs from self launching. I was able to save 26 seconds with just those steps on an AMD 2800 system.

Tips In Choosing The Right Golf Iron

2008-03-12T03:42:00.000-07:00

Irons are used for medium to long-range shots, and the variety of their uses is why they compromise more than half the clubs in a usual set. Irons are used for shorter golf shots, ranging from 200 yards to less than 100 yards. Long irons such as 1-iron (also called driving iron) and 2-iron are not included in the standard set of irons because they are the most difficult irons to handle.

Iron

Novice and recreational golfers are advised to stay away from 1- and 2-iron. They should even consider replacing 3- and 4-iron with higher lofted fairway woods, 7-wood or 9-wood, because they are easier to hit and produce comparable distance. In general, irons are used for distance that is less than 200 yards from the green.

one of the secrets to successful iron play is knowing exactly how far you can hit with each club. Higher number irons are used as you are closer to the green. Even though, driver is used to off the tee, but irons are also used off the tee for Par-3 or narrow & short Par-4. This is why cast irons also known as 'perimeter weighted' irons. Therefore, cast irons bring significant performance improvement for average golfers who have the tendency to hit the ball off-center.

Forged irons - In contrast to cast irons, forged irons feature a full back on the rear of the club head. Hence, forged irons with smaller sweet spot are less forgiving. But forged irons offer more control and extra 'feel' than cast irons. Therefore, forged irons are recommended for low handicapper. Graphite shaft irons allows an average golfer to swing the club faster that could add extra distance. You are strongly recommended to use graphite shafts in your irons if your golf swing is slow.

Shaft

The higher the iron clubs, the more loft and the shorter shaft length is. Graphite shafts are lighter than steel can reduce the overall golf club weight which is good news for all golfers, especially for weaker players such as senior and women. Graphite shaft irons allows an average golfer to swing the club faster that could add extra distance. There are different types of shafts used for irons, and the right choice allows you to make easier and better shots.

Steel shafts are affordable and durable, making it the preferred choice of many. Graphite shafts are for people who wish to add speed or distance to their shots by making their clubs lighter without sacrificing its strength. And lastly, there are shafts that are made from a combination of graphite and steel to give you the best of both worlds.

There are many things to consider when buying clubs, like identifying your needs which shaft flex it is best suited for your swing would a club fitting benefit you the value of used golf clubs. Most teaching professionals say that up to 75% of all golfers use shafts that are too stiff. If you're not sure which shaft flex or club head is right for your game then a custom club fitting may be right for you.
