Why Spiritual Gay Travel is Enjoyable

By Howie Holben

Why do we think that spiritual journeys are not fun? We want to have fun on a vacation; we want to leave the daily grind behind us and play for at least a liitle while. Unfortunately, we frequently we think of spiritual travel as something we need to do; we view it as a form of work. Of course, if we think like this, spiritual travel won't be any fun at all. How would this change if we thought differently?

My experience is that spiritual gay travel is a joy. You meet people with the same mindset and really can connect with them. This level of connection really adds to the enjoyment of being on vacation. The chance to have an honest, heart to heart conversation with someone brings adds tremendously to my vacation experience and I come to value these conversations very much.

Also, we have learned being "spiritual" requires acting seriously or even solemn. We seem to think that laughter is the antithesis of being spiritual. This couldn't be further from the truth. We connct more deeply to spirit when we laugh. After all, it is said that laugher is the best medicine.

When we connect spiritually with others and the world, our vacation is greatly enhanced. Conscious awareness of our surroundings, makes a gay vacation more exciting and we can get more out of our travel experience. We become very aware of everything we experience while travelling and as such, we are more fulfilled.

A good example of this is children. All is new to them and all is a wonder to encounter. They find joy in everything. All that they see and touch is theirs to play with. Experiencing the world as a child does is an incredible way to be.

Finally, there is the experience of being awestruck. While spiritual traveling, we may be deeply touched by something; a sunrise or perhaps a smile. Although an intense experience, being awestruck is not a solmemn experience. It just holds a deep meaning for the individual. - 16890

The first and most important term to getting your website on the Internet is "web hosting". Web hosting refers to a service, a type of web hosting service, used on the Internet to allow various organizations and individuals' to create, publish and promote their own websites on the World Wide Web.

Who or What is a Web Hosting Server

A web host is a company or an individual that owns a server that is connected to the internet 24 hours per day, seven days per week and who is willing to sell you a space on that server for a certain number of dollars. The ideal web host is online 99.9% of the time, however, many cannot fulfill this goal.

A Web Hosting Can Make The Difference Between Success And Failure

By Emma Lee

A web hosting should be able to provide a number of advanced features such as high-end hosting to leverage the best in technological advances and should be able to provide different hosting systems. It should be possible for customers to take advantage of their own diverse requirements such as using Windows .NET Server 2003 and Linux ES 3.0 hosting so that the subscriber gets the full advantage of using Microsoft's newest development platforms or be able to choose from the full range of commercial IT environments from Linux.

With hybrid hosting, one can also choose to host the website on either Linux or Windows and have Linux for email hosting.

A Powerful Tool That Can Grow The Company's Business Tremendously

The web hosting company should understand the importance of the client's website which is a powerful tool that enables companies to conduct profitable business ventures all across the World Wide Web and, so should be operable round the clock as well as all year round. An uptime of less than 99.9 percent would be unimaginable and totally unacceptable. In addition, the web hosting service should provide foolproof security as well as have a dedicated customer support service combined with highly competitive pricing to offer the perfect combination of features in order for the company to grow its business.

Needless to say, the customer's website should be secured and safe from hackers as well as other malicious attacks and, the web hosting company must be able to safeguard its clients with the help of sophisticated firewalls and, use robust inspection firewall services in this regard. It should also provide mirroring as well as other means to ensure that data is protected and, it should facilitate real-time load sharing as well as instant fail-over to give fast performance, better reliability as well as total continuity for the business of the client.

Another notable feature of a good web hosting company is its ability to offer state-of-the-art anti virus cover, anti-spam gateway as well as many more features to protect the client's mailbox from unsolicited junk mail and, at the same time, provide security from spam as well as possible virus attacks. One can always distinguish between good web hosting companies and the more average ones through the level of service provided which would be a result of high-level expertise and value-added services that helps in leveraging emerging technologies to enhance the website. One should experience the benefits of enhanced efficiencies, attain optimal growth prospects as well as propel one's business to greater heights - all with the help of a good web hosting company. - 16890

Using Yoga For Weight Loss

By Jane Lee

Is it really possible to use yoga for weight loss? It is. Many people think of yoga as merely stretching. But if you attend a class at your gym, you may come away with a completely different idea about this exercise technique. An average class can even burn almost the same amount of calories as would be used in another more strenuous cardio exercise.

Yoga is a resistance activity, even though it may not seem like it. It's like lifting weights so it qualifies as resistance activity. It can be very effective when you support your body's weight, which is what you do in yoga. As is typical in any resistance workout, your muscle strength will increase.

You can find variations on exercises you would use in any other type of training. Whether it's lunges, push-ups, squats or other types of movements, yoga offers a full range of exercise. But yoga poses are more interesting because it's so different from other traditional exercises. Yoga is considered by many to be an art form. You can appreciate the full beauty of your body when you observe its reflection in the mirror while doing yoga.

Weight loss is a result of yoga because of its impact on the mental as well as the physical. With the kind of peace that can be attained through yoga, you won't need some of the harmful coping mechanisms, such as eating for emotional reasons. There is always a problem if you find yourself eating for any reason other than for hunger.

You will reduce your total intake if this kind of emotional eating stops. Weight reduction would automatically follow. Yoga can give you a little vacation from your mind. While practicing this during yoga, you can learn to use this skill in your real life off the mat.

You can get positive weight loss results from just a few days of yoga a week. Very positive physical outcomes are possible from yoga. Although it may not strike you as the type of activity that can really change your body, you could be pleasantly surprised. Contrary to what you might believe, you don't have to despise exercise for it to really work for you. Your body need not be tormented for positive results. Being kind and gentle to it can work even better. - 16890

Music has the ability to change the levels of our brainwave activity. Its effect is long term, lasting way after listening to the music. The effects of music to the brainwaves can help alter the function of our nervous system. The result would be a slower pace in breathing. The heart rate is also lowered; giving is a state of relaxation which is the opposite effect of stress.

Music is also used to treat anxiety and depression by converting the negative state of mind into a positive one. When a person is in a positive state of mind, he becomes optimistic. It helps him analyze the situation better and find an effective solution for it.

No wonder why music therapy has become popular in this present generation as a good and natural relief for stress. With music you don't have to set a time for it in compared to other stress relief techniques, all you have to do is find a comfortable place a player, press play and then listen to music that relaxes you. - 16890

Be A Dynamic Student

By Dr Jay Polmar

BE DYNAMIC THROUGH SPEED READING is an amazing course that you teach to yourself. It comes with audios, software, and course manuals to teach you to build reading speed, comprehension, concentration and focus. And also stimulate long-term memory.

Another factor is photographic or tape-recorder memories. You have the potential to remember everything you have ever seen or heard, even if you weren't paying attention to what was said. Your brain/mind, like a computer, stores all memories.

As you start to learn the various methods used in the BE DYNAMIC THROUGH SPEED READING, you'll notice some intentional redundancy, repetition! It is techniques repeated over and over, with visualization and various other added methods that will help you achieve the results you desire and be the best you can possibly be.

This will make you a better student, employee, communicator, and decision maker in your life. Only one of your benefits will be that you will cut reading time on reports, memos, correspondence, newspapers, novels, non-fiction, magazine, etc. You will save time, and really ..."time is money".

If you didn't know this, let me clue you in to the reality that writers get paid by the word in articles and by % of gross sales (royalties) in book publishing. The thicker the book the higher the price and the higher the royalty. Writers are unnecessary verbose. This means is there are many words within sentences that are just there as fillers; what you have to learn to do, through the Be Dynamic Through Speed Reading program, is only read the words that are essential.

Dr. Jay Polmar taught the "Be Dynamic Through Speed Reading" program to share these valuable tools with students to help them get the most out of their reading experience. In the past two years he has worked with other educators to bring students the Perfect Learning System (www.perfectlearningsystems.com) which includes Be Dynamic, mind mapping comprehension and memory supports, plus special speed reading software developed to match the Perfect Learning System. - 16890

Heart Jewelry...The Very Beginning...

By Betsy Johnson

We thank you for all the kind response regarding the heart jewelry articles that we have written in the past. It's very heart-warming. Today we would like to go back in time a bit further and write a more "generic" history of jewelry in general. The art form that we know of as "Jewelry Making" as been around for thousands of years, and different cultures have incorporated it in different ways. If we examine their pieces of jewelry we will gain some insight into the inner working of these ancient cultures.

In Ancient Africa the homo sapiens provide us with the first signs of a culture using jewelry. Snail shell beads have been found at the Blombos Cave in South Africa that date back to over 75,000 years ago. At Enkapune Ya Moto in Kenya beads made from ostrich egg shells have been found that date back to over 40,000 years ago.

When we think of Egypt we think of the pyramids and the sphinx, right? What about jewelry? Well, it is here that we find the first signs of established jewelry making around 3,000 - 5,000 years ago. Egyptians made their jewelry out of the same materials that we make jewelry out of today. For example, gemstones, but they preferred to make their jewelry out of glass, which they could color to satisfy their particular tastes. This meant that for every gemstone that they could find in nature, they were able to manufacture a glass replication that could mimic it. Other cultures have used the template of Egyptian jewelry in their own jewelry making. Consider the Phoenicians for example, who copied many Egyptian designs.

Color was very important for the Ancient Egyptians. To them, different colors meant different things. If we would like to examine this matter further, we need to look no further than the Book of the Dead. It tells us that the necklace of Isis that was to be placed on the mummy's desk needed to be red. The color red would satisfy Isis's need for blood. Green jewelry on the other hand symbolized new growth in the area of fertility and crops. Egyptian jewelry was made primarily in large workshops that were attached to temples and palaces.

Around 4000 years ago we see jewelry development and production starting to spring up in the cities of Sumer and Akkad in Ancient Mesopotamia. This jewelry tended to be made from metal leaf, and was often set in a large number of brightly-colored stones, such as lapis, jasper, agate, and carnelian. They also incorporated various shapes, such as grapes, leafs, cones and spirals into their designs. Since the Ancient Mesopotamians were also masters in the area of record keeping, huge archives of detailed records relating to the creation and trading of jewelry have been unearthed in various archaeological sites.

We hope this little departure from our usual heart jewelry articles has been fun and educational. It's amazing to see how jewelry making as evolved over the years. - 16890

Spanish Food On Long Island New York

By L.J. James

Like I have said before, I am no Gourmet Chef or expert on fine Cruise. I do how ever know what I like. Recently Me and a Buddy of mine stopped at the Meson Ole Dinner in Southampton on Long Island in NY, A Mexican and Spanish Restaurant.

Some of you may know I am a Biker, As any Biker knows some times the greetings we get when we walk into a place can be a look of "Oh No" and a half hearted "can I help you?", Is it right? Well of course not, but that's a different article. The Greeting We got at Meson Ole was a very warm friendly one and we felt welcomed in.

The Decor of the place was great and you could almost believe you where some where down in Mexico. We where promptly brought over some Nachos and Salsa and some fresh hot Bread and Butter. We ordered a Pitcher of Sangria, A drink I do not believe I have ever had before but I enjoyed none the less!

We ordered a Bunch of food and the Service was pretty fast. Now even the best service means nothing if the food is not good, Well the food was incredible. We ordered a set up where you made your own Pepper Steak Burritos and also a plate of Ham and Cheese Burritos. It was all made to perfection, The Pepper Steak was served in a separate pan and it was still sizzling when it was placed safely on the table ! I could not have been happier with the taste and preparation of the food! While we where enjoying the meal the waiter made sure we where happy at all times. When the Bread was finished more was served to us. We ate so much ran out of Burrito wraps, That is not a complaint because as soon as it was notice more where quickly brought to the Table.

I eat at many places as I really love to eat, But some times I come across a place like the Meson Ole Dinner where I feel I must share the experience with others! I was happy to find out that the Meson Ole has 8 locations across Long Island NY and two in Naples Florida (That's a bit of a big jump in the Chains Locations) Good food can sometimes be hard to find, Both Great Food and Great service at one place can be almost imposable to find these days! So If you are a fan of Mexican and Spanish Cuisine check out the Meson Ole Dinners in the Long Island NY area or when you are near Naples, Florida and let me know what you think of them.

Government Ban On Biker Colors In Bars !

By L.J. James

There is a new law in Virginia that will ban Motorcycle Club Colors in Bars. The law, originally aimed at Street Gangs, is causing quite a stir with Virginia Bikers. The law states that Bar & Restaurant owners will lose their liquor license if they allow patrons who wear "gang" related attire such as Club Logo's or Colored Bandannas.

These sort of "grey area" laws are extremely dangerous and a threat to everyone's freedom. Who decides what constitutes "Gang Apparel"? I'm wondering if Boy Scouts are going to be able to eat together at Applebees if they are in their uniforms.

According to news reports, many Bikers and Motorcycle Club Members in Virginia have already begun fighting this law. If a law like this is allowed to stand in Virginia, it won't be long until it is passed in other states across America!

We as Motorcyclists and Bikers (It does not matter what you call yourself) have to realize fast that we are all connected. It doesn't matter what you ride, what State you live in or who you Support, we're all in this together. What effects Me effects you and it doesn't matter what you happen to think of me.

When the local Bar you and your Brothers love hanging out at is told that you and all other members of Motorcycle Clubs can no longer go there or they will revoke the Bars liquor license, What then?

This is no Joke my Biker Brothers, every month there is another new law that is aimed not only Motorcycle Club Members, but all Americans. It seems that every time the Government wants to take away a freedom, they find a way to craft a new law for our "safety". What kind of Country is this turning into when you can't wear what you want and suddenly, your constitutional right to assemble is taken away from you?

Although there are many ignorant people out there that believe Motorcycle Clubs are Gangs, that's simply not the case. Most Motorcycle Clubs are made up of hard working, honest, law abiding, patriotic, American Citizens who enjoy a common bond, Motorcycles. It's what is in a persons heart that determines who they are, not the clothes they wear.

In the past year the government has taken away the Colors of one Motorcycle Club. A law enforcement officer can demand anyone sporting the Clubs logo to forfeit it. The theory is that the loss of the logo strips the club of its "gang identity."

Grant it, it appears that some of the Clubs members may have been involved in illegal activities, but that doesn't mean that everyone who rides a Motorcycle should be punished for it. In fact, less than 10% of this 600 Member Club was even accused of wrong doing.

In addition, the Government and law enforcement agencies have been spending millions of our dollars to influence friends and ex-members of Motorcycle Clubs in an effort to infiltrate these clubs in hopes of catching members doing something illegal. Often, when they find that the Club they've infiltrated is nothing more than a group of Patriotic, Law Abiding Men & Women, they'll fabric wrong doing so that they can justify the enormous amount of resources spent on these Fishing Expeditions.

Just imagine how much better off we'd all be if they used those resources to investigate the Corrupt Politicians, the Corporations that control our Country, Wall Street, and the other issues that are quickly sinking this great Nation.

What I want to know is, what will be the last straw? What's it going to take for us to say enough is enough? We can not fight these Laws and Fight each other at the same time! We need to work together to save what we are, who we are.

The Government has taken away our rights to ride the Motorcycle we want, to wear what we want and now to go where we want! Why are we still fighting each other? When are we going to wake up??

Anger Management For Children

By Colin Jones

Anger, which is a perfectly normal emotion, can transform itself into something frightening and ugly. The first thought you may have of anger situations may bring about images of a couple fighting, a parent abusing a child, a teenager lashing out at a teacher or a parent. Rarely will images of angry children come to mind. Unfortunately kids, at very young ages, have to deal with emotions of anger and rage. This is a truth which is often very difficult for adults to understand or deal with.

Children, young children especially, aren't normally aware of how they feel. When children become upset or mad they simply display these emotions through their behaviour. A good example of this is a small boy in a supermarket who throws a tantrum because he's upset. Many parents have had to deal with similar situations. It is unfortunate that often these occurrences are overlooked or dismissed because they are "just children". Anger management in children is just as important, or probably even more important than anger management in grown-ups.

A kid requires instruction and guidance from their coming into the world to their entry into adulthood. The things they learn throughout their young lives are likely to form the person they become as an adult. For this reason, anger management in children with difficulties controlling their temper is extremely important. Finding ways to teach anger management for kids might present challenges.

There are programmes made specifically for kids with frustration, anxiety and anger management issues. Finding one that works for a particular child might require testing many methods. Not all youths will respond to the same treatments for anger management for children. Because a child cannot always relate their feelings surrounding angry outburst, finding the right approach may take some time. Until the issue is resolved or at least controlled, it is imperative to continue the search.

Young children may respond well to worksheets, games and fun activities. All of these can be used effectively to teach anger management for kids. Developing programs which incorporate each of these might be the best route to take. A child completing a worksheet, colouring sheet or participating in games and activities with underlying messages regarding anger management, may not even realize they are working on their problem.

Making the activity fun doesn't mean that the anger issue has to be left out. Choosing fun activities which teach healthy interaction and decision making might be good for anger management for kids. Teaching them to take turns and helping them to learn that they can't always be the best or the winner would definitely make a difference when confrontational situations occur. Little activities which instill values and positive thinking would be helpful for anger management for kids.

If a child is old enough to talk about their anger problem, encouraging them to share their emotions is important. Suggesting they talk to someone who they feel comfortable with and trust is a good idea regarding anger management in children. Asking them to write or make a drawing about their emotions may help them reveal their underlying problems, whether it be anxiety, pain or depression.

If you can teach them to ask for help when they feel threatened or angry, it would definitely help the child with an anger-related problem. The important thing to realize when thinking about anger management for kids is that they are just "children". Their minds are not able to handle adult situations and so they will need a much more delicate approach. - 16890

Getting a flat stomach is what many of us dream about. Some of us are fighting our way to six pack ABS but are we really do ourselves any good if we do not eat as we are working out. The foods we ingest as we work towards a flat stomach is just as important and the muscles we work.

Exercising is awesome but if you don't exercise your mouth and stop putting junk in it you will be defeating the purpose of all your stringent workouts. You need to exercise your body and your diet to get the flat stomach you want. You can have it and don't give up. Don't starve yourself either as that is not good. Just add some of these foods into your diet on a regular basis.

The incredible egg will get you toward you goal more than any other food. It burns the fat and gives you ample protein for your diet while you work out. You can do them in any style and if you are going to fry them use olive oil and not butter. Stay away from butter as it will defeat the purpose.

Using oatmeal as a staple can help against the fight of the bulge and give you a flatter stomach. Eating three servings of dairy is good too; just make sure it is low fat. Using ice cream as your dairy portion is not what we are talking about. Choose low or non fat dairy only.

Your dairy can come from any source as long as it is low fat or fat free. You can also get going with natural beans in any form. They are high in fiber to regulate you as you work on weight loss to get that flat belly. They are filling and delicious and can be cooked in many different ways.

And don't forget to drink plenty of water. You are a machine and water in your oil that will keep you moving. You cannot get dehydrated as then you will not lose weight. Keep on drinking the six to eight glasses of water per day that your body needs to flush out the fat and keep you hydrated.

How much you eat in a day will make a difference as well. If you eat six small meals each day you have a better chance at your weight loss than eating three larger ones. You can reduce the storage of food in your body and flush out what it does not need. You won't feel bloated with the small meals in this fashion. Choose good fat to keep in your diet and don't block it out all together because it helps you.

Don't give up and stick to your guns to get the six pack ABS you have been dreaming about. You will be happier when you see the flab coming off faster than before. Give it two weeks and try this regimen if you are not already and see the difference it makes for you and your workout. - 16890

Take A Company Public Extremely Quick and Easily!

By James Scott

If you're an entrepreneur involved in the real estate investment industry there is no doubt that a majority of investors are currently lacking one thing, cash. Banks have a surplus of foreclosed real estate , hedge funds are shriveling up and dying in record numbers, rehab lenders are now making it more difficult to borrow than ever so if you make a living off of investing in real estate or rehabbing and flipping houses where can you get the cash to continue doing what you love?

The answer comes in three little words "Private Placement Memorandum". The Private Placement Memorandum (also referred to as PPM or Offering Memorandum) originated out of Regulation D which was rooted in the Securities Act of'33. The government wanted to create a way for companies to raise capital quickly and easily but still stay within SEC guidelines, so they made three exemptions to the rigorous Reg. D statutes.

These powerful exemptions are Rule 504, rule 505 and rule 506. This is where it gets good! Real estate investors in the know have been capitalizing off of the streamlined capabilities of Regulation D Rule 506 for years. Under this exemption, via Private Placement Memorandum, a real estate investor can sell equity shares in his start-up or established company and use that capital to invest in real estate.

Unlike rule 504 and rule 505, rule 506 has no limit to the amount of equity or debt capital an entrepreneur can raise. Say bye-bye to banks and endless red tape.

If you are an investor and you're not taking advantage of this unbelievably powerful tool, wake up and get on the bandwagon. Raising capital doesn't get any easier than this. Find a consultant and tell him you want to invest in real estate with your Private Placement Memorandum and put your investment career on turbo cruise control. - 16890

NCR Form Printing Is Environment Friendly

By Hema Mahesh

NCR form printing has taken a noteworthy place in the every day functioning of most of the business houses. This is due to its helpful attributes including the environmental friendly nature. NCR forms printing are reasonably priced and can be used in most of the areas of a business organization in producing top quality duplicates essential in business.

NCR forms are used for making invoices, purchase memos and other communication slips that are delivered in writing. Earlier, this was done with a carbon paper, which was discarded after a certain period of use and created environmental hazards. The carbon less system of NCR forms has the minimum chance of waste. The wastage in this system is considerably low and they use biodegradable papers in the forms.

Big business houses are creating thousands of invoices daily along with other duplicate papers for their use. The use of this bright technique has allowed companies to do away with carbon papers. The expertise that is used in NCR forms printing is very simple.

The requirement of this particular type of printing has reached a high demand as most of the companies both big and small has integrated this system in their day to day communication work. In recent times, the NCR forms printing are being used in printing of official papers through ink-jet or laser printers though the technology was originally made for manual writing. Business houses found this utility tool fairly competent in performing the task of duplication.

This new idea takes help of a kind of micro dye in the reverse side of the front page, which under pressure leaves a mark on the next page. The dye is micro in nature and hence creates marks or scripts accordingly in an exact manner. This helps in upholding the quality of precision in duplication with no any blotches at all.

NCR is the shortened form of "No Carbon Required", which has developed its quality to meet the criteria for general use by mainstream companies to ease the daily work procedure and ultimately results in business improvement. A reputed printing company can engage in the job of NCR forms printing to satisfy patrons so that they can use it for their financial gain keeping the environment uncontaminated. - 16890

Other than Your Sig Block - What You, the Webmaster, Need to Put in Every eMail

By Veronica Carrillo

So you want to become a webmaster? Webmastering is a complex job with more to it that one would expect. There are many different skill sets which are required to run a successful website, from writing content to designing graphics, or marketing the content on your website.

If you look at the top left of the page for analysis of a particular site you will see a table of "top search queries". Unlike the stats in your Awstats program in cPanel, these queries show the key phrases and their ranking or position according to the Google robot.

The first important point about this is that you will see that your site might be found or ranked for a search term that you had not targeted. This affords you the opportunity to provide content based around that particular term, which will obviously be mentioned somewhere on your site but not focussed on, to boost your rankings and rank for that particular key phrase.

It is incredible to study this table and see phrases or keywords on your site which were written naturally into a post or page and to see them ranking in the top 20 in Google. Now the trick to which I referred above is as follows: Click on the "more" link at the bottom of this "top searches queries" table and this will expand the list to maybe 20 key words.

Scan through this list and see what phrases are ranking on page 2 of Google, in other words are top 20, and then check out the number of searches for that keyword. Make sure that there is a decent number of searches for that phrase but once you are satisfied that there is, write a post/page based around that key phrase and write some articles targeting that post.

There are also numerous websites dedicated to helping newbies run their own website, this includes Google's webmaster tools. Important thing to remember is you don't have to know everything to become a webmaster, but one thing is guaranteed is you will learn and continue to learn new things everyday in your journey as a Webmaster/Marketer/ Internet Entrepreneur. - 16890

Finding The Best Web Site Hosting Services Provider

By Tim Johnson

So, you have decided it is time to open an e-commerce website. There is no doubt that when shopping for a web-hosting provider, it can be amazingly daunting if you do not know what you are doing. The Internet can be quite intimidating if this is the first time you have considered establishing your own web page, whether for personal use or for you business.

If you are doing the research on your own for a small business, odds are that you are discovering you are not quite as computer savvy as you thought you were prior to entering this endeavor. Have no fear; with a little bit or research, the use of a few good search engines and a bit of focused computer time, you will conquer this battlefield in no time.

The Importance of the Web-Hosting Provider

A web-hosting provider is a company that will sell you space on a server that they own and connect you to the Internet. This is important because your web site cannot be accessed by anyone until it is posted on the Internet; just creating a fancy web page on your computer will not get your images onto the World Wide Web. A web-host provider takes your web page and makes it accessible to the Internet traffic flow, usually for a small fee. However, the fee does increase with the increase of your needs. Keep in mind, without a web-hosting provider, your web page can be the most flashy, eye-catching and informative piece of advertising out there but will not be seen by anyone until it is posted on the Internet. However, it is also important to insure that you get a quality and reputable web-hosting provider to make sure that you get the more exposure for you buck.

Help in Making the Right Choice

It is not surprising that there are many web-hosting providers anxiously waited to sell you space and Internet time. The important thing is not so much how many are out there but in finding the right fit for you goals. It is also important to note that there are independent reviewing web sites on the internet that critique these web-hosting providers, helping to make many of them accountable for their sales pitches. If you are confused about which web-hosting provider is best for you, look into the reviews of the various companies to help you narrow down your selection. - 16890

America's Five Founding Fathers Where Great Men and Outlaws! Some Things Don't Change!

By L.J. James

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.

The Christian, Christianity And The Fate Of Christians Around The World

By Samuel Brown

Christianity faces a battle that it must win but can lose if the Christian community does not comes together. Over the last two thousand years we have experienced attacks and we have survived.

Why are we at risk of losing this power to fight back? Well, people are more prone to question the authenticity of the bible and the relevance of the Christian faith than they had in the past.

The last few years have seen a plethora of information mainly in books and movies that have attacked the Christian faith. These attacks are designed to debase the Christian God that we serve as divine and the ruler of everything and replace it with the accepted view of today.

The attackers assail the bible, the major source of Christian knowledge, through so-called scholarly means that mainly attack the gospels. These people hold that the gospels were put together too long after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and that the gospels have been developed from legends.

Accepted movies and books do great damage to the Christian faith and the bible. They attack them in new ways and find methods to disdain accepted scholarly works with their scholarly work.

These new age scholars, writers and producers are shaping the way the public perceive the Christian faith. They are becoming successful because of the information age which makes it easier for them to provide their opinions especially on the Internet and crowding out traditional scholars.

Modern scholars are discouraging Christians particularly those who are educated. The goal is to debase the Christian God to irrelevance and finally claim victory over this long religious odyssey.

Our schools have been a sacred teaching place where the Christian faith was taught to the young and Christian morals were instilled. Gone are those days when our curriculum consisted of books that promoted creationism and not the idea of Darwinism. Our impressionable are vulnerable and are being taught concepts the Christian faith doesn't promote.

We have to take a stand against these assailants and as a group fight for what we believe in. It is a fight that's worth the price and we cannot afford to lose such an important battle. - 16890

By giving the search engines what they want you can raise your website in the search engines results, this is commonly known as Search Engine Optimization.

Build a site with unique, worth while substance, products or services.

Target your primary and secondary keywords amongst the first 25 words in your website content and spread them evenly around the web page.

Do an inquiry and use the right tag words or key phrases to attract the type of buyer that you would care to bring to your site.

Employ your keywords in your web sites Title, META tags, Headers, etc.

Keep your web page design simple so that your potential clients can navigate easy between pages on your website, find what they require and purchase your products and services.

Submit your site to the top search engines and website directories. This means every web page, not just your main page. Employ a person to submit your url's for you if required. For best results, make sure to do a manual submission. Don't buy an automatic submission software program. I use "Flight Search Engine Submission" service.

Be sure to keep track of changes in search engine algorithms and processes and accordingly modify your web pages this will insure your rank remains high in the search engine results. apply web applications to stay apprised of how your website is doing.

Spy on your competitors and the other sites in your niche to watch what they are doing with there promotions and content, so you can stay one step ahead of them.

Use reports from your web hosting company to get a line on where your visitors are coming from. Examine your traffic's location and find out how they happened upon your site, whether from the search engines or links on other websites, and what keyword phrase they used to find you.

Make your clients visit fun and easy and give your potential clients a lot of ways to remember your site, by giving them free reports or other valuable information.

Demonstrate your online business and product or why you are an expert in your service by creating and submitting articles to ezines about your website so you are understood to be an expert in your arena.

When marketing items in the online world, use a simple way to process payments and shipment methods to make your customer's experience easy and enjoyable.

When unsure, employ professionals. Paying their fees makes more sense than wasting your cash on a site that no one can find.

Don't look at your website as a billboard. This is an interactive, always evolving site for selling your product. The search engines want to see your website change and development in your individual pages and they will reward you with better search engine rankings. - 16890

No Colors Policies Are Un American And Illegal

By L.J. James

A few weeks back I received an email from a girl Kim about a Charity Motorcycle event she was working on for Bide A Wee an Animal shelter I worked at when I was younger. As I read the info I was looking forward to attending the event only to find it was being held at Jugs and Strokers the only "Biker Bar" on Long Island that does not allow Motorcycle Club Colors. I was pissed to find out I would not be welcome at this event. I then saw the email had been sent out to many other Motorcycle Clubs on Long Island. Pissed Off, I started writing a reply to the email and sent it out to the MC's here on Long Island. Here is what I wrote.

Hey everyone this is LJ James.

You may not know this but I worked at Bide A Wee in Wantagh for many years. I have some great memories of my time working there. As much as I love the place and think Bide A Wee to be a truly great organization, I will not take off my Colors to go inside Jugs & Strokers to attend this event.

I see this email is addressed to many different Clubs. Some of your beliefs may be different then mine and you may take your Colors off to attend this event. I would hope all of you have more respect for your Club then to do that, but these are my beliefs and may not be yours.

I think it is only fair to Kim who is working very hard for this very worthy cause that she know what your feelings are about the Jugs and Strokers policy in regards to Colors. Kim has spent a lot of time working on this event and I would hate to see her event fail because she is unaware of the Revulsion Jugs and Strokers has towards Motorcycle Clubs!!!

Not only is it an old out dated Policy that promotes the Division of Motorcycle Riders, it is also illegal according to NY State Law! I have been working hard to protect and promote Motorcycle Rights and Unity here in NY and world wide. I think it is time We started working hard to change what is wrong here on Long Island! There is an old saying, "if you want to fix the world start in your own back yard".

This is an event that, when I heard about it I wanted to attend. Then I hear it is being held at Jugs and now I am "not allowed to attend".

I am not a bad guy! You all out there know me. How many of your events have I covered in Magazines? How many of you have I DJed for? Not only your Club events but many of your personal family events! I've even preformed wedding ceremonies for a few of you and after I married you I Djed your wedding!!!

You too are also all good people. Your MCs have done many things to make Long Island a better place. You have fed the Hungry, Clothed the poor, and made sure every Child on Long Island had a Toy for the Holidays. Our patches stand for what is great about America! Why should we be made to feel that wearing our Colors is even the slightest bit wrong?

If you ask Jugs and Strokers, they might try to use the excuse "well its not your group its other groups who are the bad guys". That is a cop out, a lie, and an attempt to divide the Long Island Motorcycle Club world!!!

Over the past few years here on Long Island we have seen a Unity in the Motorcycle Club World that many still can not believe. Sport Bike Clubs and Cruiser Clubs riding and hanging together. AMA Clubs and 1% Clubs attend each others events. Law Enforcement Clubs and Outlaw Clubs Breaking Bread and Drinking together at events. I have seen every type of rider hanging out together. This is the Biker dream people!!!

There was a time when we were all told that you could not have a bar on Long Island where all MCs where aloud to mingle together. That there would be nothing but fights and problems. Then JDs Place opened and shortly after that, the Myth was put to rest.

The Motorcycle World here on Long Island has become something We are all very proud of. I call out to all of you MCs, independents, and MROs like ABATE, it is time to end the humiliating practice that Jugs and Strokers has been aloud to inflict upon the Long Island Motorcycle World for far too long!!!

I am tired of this bar being allowed to claim it is a biker bar for bikers, but if your a member of a Motorcycle Club and wear your Colors, you are some how an undesirable, and unwelcome. I say time is up, Jugs and Stokers! You have made enough money off the Long Island Motorcycle world! You need to stop being part of the Problem and become part of the Solution!!!

I'm interested to know what the feelings are of the rest of you!!!

(Because of this reply, Shortly after I wrote this the event was switched to another Long Island Biker Bar "Sick Moon Saloon" That welcomes all who Ride)

The Proven Methods To Getting Google Love

By Tommy Taylor

The point of Google is to display helpful and applicable information based on what Internet users are searching for. Realizing this fundamental principle is key to successfully making Google fall in love with your website.

1. Content is King. In order to even get Google to glance in your website's direction, your site has to consist of quality content. In other words, your website should provide useful information of interest to search engine users. A attractive design is not enough. Google looks beyond appearances and is most intrigued by depth.

2. Be Hassle Free. Once you've gotten Google's attention, keeping it is another thing. Make sure your website is easy to use, access, navigate, and crawl. Google must be able to get to know your website to see what make's it tick. If your site has defective links, inaccurate meta tags, or sneaky redirects it may be perceived as an ineligible hassle.

3. Show That You Are Worthy. Google has many courters competing for its attention. To be considered you'll have to provide respectable citations to vouch for you by way of backlinks. The more quality sites referencing yours the better. Reliable websites related to your particular niche or topic is even better. *Be advised, sites linking to you that are already recognized by Google are essential to winning Google over.

4. There's Always Room For Improvement. Frequent and consistent additions, updates, and or changes to your website lets Google know that you are serious about providing it with quality content and not afraid of commitment. By consistently improving and adding to your site you assure Google that you're not a "flash in the pan" type. Your demonstrated dedication to the growth of your website lets Google know you are in it for the long haul.

5. Get Yo Know Google. If you desire love, you have to give love. With Google many are called but few are chosen. The reason so few are picked is because they neglect to take the time to get to know Google, they just want a one night stand. It doesn't work out. For a long lasting fruitful relationship resulting in good search engine rankings and lots of website traffic, you must enter Google's heart via it's webmaster's tools program. This is the sensitive spot that if used with everything else mentioned...you'll achieve Google Love. - 16890

The Beginnings of Aikido

By Rhys Jones

The name 'Aikido' is created by the permutation of three characters in the Japanese language. 'Ai', which means 'joining'; 'ki', which means 'spirit' and 'do', which signifies 'way'. These three characters really sum up the essence of Aikido as a kind of martial art: 'the joining of the spirit to find the way'. It was only in the period from 1930's to the 1940's that the name Aikido was formally accepted as the name of this martial art variety.

Aikido uses methods that do not seriously injure or kill not like different types of martial art. The movements and skills being taught are just intended to divert attention or immobilize attackers. This is perhaps the explanation why most people prefer Aikido, because of its concentration on peace and tranquility as opposed to violence and conflict. In deed, Aikido teacher, Morihei Ueshiba, believes that to have power over hostility without causing any injury is the art of peace.

Ueshiba, who is also called Osensei, which signifies 'Great Teacher', developed Aikido from the principles of Daito-ryu aiki-jujutsu. He integrated the ways of the 'yari', the spear; the 'juken', the bayonet; and the 'jo', which is a short quarterstaff. But what finally distinguishes Aikido from other kinds of martial art is the fact that its practitioners can strike while empty-handed. Proponents need no weaponry for their protection.

As a small child, he was much into physical fitness and conditioning. This was because of his vow to avenge his father's attackers. In due course, his studies and activities brought him to the discipline of the various martial arts. He studied many of them. He even has certificates for fencing, fighting with spears, etc. He has learned it all. This is possibly the explanation why Aikido is such a diverse and multi-disciplinary kind of martial art.

Yet despite his knowledge, he remained discontented. He felt that there was still something lacking. It was then that he turned to the religions. He studied under a religious guide, Onisaburo Deguchi of the sect named Omoto-kyo in Ayabe. Deguchi trained him to take care of his psychic development. He then pooled his spiritual beliefs and his mastery of the different martial arts and Aikido was formed.

His relationship with this fascinating spiritual leader Deguchi also paved the path for his introduction to the elite political and military personnel as a martial artist. Because of this association, he was able to launch Aikido and even pass on his knowledge to students, who have, in turn, developed their own methods and movement in Aikido.

Aikido is a blend of the different styles of jujitsu as well as some of the techniques of sword and spear fighting, of which Ueshiba was an expert. To obtain an general picture, Aikido combines the joint locks and throws of jujitsu and the techniques of the body necessary when fighting with swords and spears.

Oriental in origin, it was brought to the West by Minoru Mochizuki when he visited France in 1951. He introduced the Aikido methods to students who were studying judo. In 1952, Tadashi Abe came to France as the official Aikikai Honbu spokesperson. Then in 1953, Kenji Tomiki toured throughout the United States while Koichi Tohei stayed in Hawaii for a full year where he set up a dojo. Aikido then broadened its influence in the United Kingdom two years after and in 1965, it reached Germany and Australia. At present, Aikido has centres all over the world. - 16890
