“Back to the Past”
“Manuscripts don’t burn,” the ancients used to say. But one guy named Gerostratus managed to reduce the Alexandrian Library to ashes. He got his own way, but priceless manuscripts were lost.
Modern Gerostratuses, also known as hackers and noble burglars, are ready to be hide from the audience. But a marriage contract, a rental contract, and a report for your boss may all vanish from your computer into thin air in a moment - just a tiny virus is more than enough. Methods for protecting information have been discussed 1000 times, but no panacea has been found. Anyway, relief exists - you just need to look for it in another place.
“Just My Luck”
Of course you may buy some cd-rw and flash drives with up to 1 Gb volume, and every day, or, better yet, hourly, copy your data to removable drives. Spacious shelving and a friendly catalogue search engine would be great too. And the main thing - don’t forget your CD-case to grab all that stuff for work or on vacation. I know one guy who has opened two e-mail accounts and every day sends data from one to another on purpose to keep files on a mail-server. Unfortunately for him, his huge Power Point files didn’t want to attach to his messages. We could keep on torturing you, mentioning “hacker-like” nightmares, and you will keep on copying data to removable drives forever. But the new file-hosting services have changed everything.
“Forward To The Future”
Nowadays, file-hosting is one of the most reliable ways of hosting and sharing data. Super protected servers cut off all the endless attempts by hackers to penetrate the system, and keep all data primitive. As a whole the list of services at those sites are the same. Upload, Host and Share. But you will really be surprised by most of them because of the commercials and strong requirements they have in order to register. You can breathe freely just doing what you want to on friendly www.oxyshare.com. First of all, there is an Oxyshare directory, where you can share and store everything you want. You can find here Video Storage, which doesn’t let your home videos take over your hard drive, Photo Album, where you can upload and share your photos with anyone on Earth, Music Library, in which your favorite songs are always within reach, Movies Collection, and even Organizer, which gives you access to files anytime and from anywhere. In brief, OxyShare gives you 24/7 access to your data wherever you go.
And all these things can be done without any registration, and absolutely totally for free. But “for free” is not exactly the right expression. You can even earn money for your living with Oxyshare. Its Partnership Program allows you to upload interesting video (your grandma’s anniversary is not the best idea) or useful soft, and get money for every download from your link. It’s a piece of cake. But that’s not the only good thing. If your upload gets in the TOP 100, you’ll get a bonus. But we won’t tell you the amount of this bonus aloud. Otherwise… Well, you know that not only Joe Black’s visit is inevitable.

Live Poker: Pros and Cons of Participating in a Tournament
If you have had enough of playing poker with friends or with playing it online and winning some money and then losing some money to only win that money back again, then you have reached the stage in your poker playing experience where you need to start entering live tournaments. That is the real deal. No more long hours in front of the computer, no more feeling guilty for taking your friends' money: you are now ready to turn pro.
But, before you do, here are a few things you must consider:
1) One of the big differences of playing in a tournament is that you need to pick you hands carefully. Spend most of your time throwing your cards away at the right beginning. If you see that your cards won't amount to much, fight the urge to exchange most of them, and just hand them all in. This is what most tournament players do anyway. If you don't believe me, watch the others play.
2) Money you take with you to tournaments lasts for a much lengthier period than when playing with friends or online. This is one of the advantages of not playing every hand you are dealt. (Hint: You should do the same thing when playing with friends even though that then becomes boring.)
3) Do not sit to the left of the dealer. Ensure that there are at least two players between the dealer and the players to the left. Why? Only the first 2 players seated on the left of the dealer have to place the ante. Since, most of the tournaments involve ten players on each table, you save this much each time you play. This also means that each hand that you fold will mean that you have spent only half that of the lower limit. This amounts to three dollars in a two to four dollar rake tournament.
4) Take into consideration that the mere fact that you are away from home means that you will spend money on food and drinks. Try and get your own, but in any case keep it light.
5) Tournament dealers are not paid much, and so it' general practice to give them about three percent of whatever you win. Consider that all gambling halls and poker rooms also take a certain percentage but at least this comes from the money you win and so you don't feel it.
6) One of the other advantages of playing in a tournament is that you can use more money than you had. For instance, for a hundred dollar sit-in, many casinos and poker rooms will give you about five hundred in tournament chips to bet with.
7) If high odds and high risk is not what you are looking for you can take advantage of the late night satellite tournaments. These generally begin at one in the morning and since the number of players won't be high, you stand a bigger chance of winning.
Conclusion:
Playing poker requires tremendous skill as well as come luck. While you cannot depend on luck, improve your skills and your online casino or other kind of betting account will show a profit.

Internet Shopping Up Again!
Shopping on the internet has been increasing every year over the last five years, a new survey predicts another busy year for internet shopping in the UK. According to the results of an online survey of 3,012 shoppers by PriceGrabber.com, this Christmas shopping season promises to be the busiest yet for internet shopping.
We thought you may be interested to see what fellow internet shoppers are up to and why, or just enjoy the amusement value!
Key findings
- The average shopper will spend GBP 768 on their Christmas goodies, of which 50% will be purchased online (hmm...sounds rather high!)
- 93% of respondents expect to do more online shopping this year than last year, citing a growing dislike of stressful high street Christmas shopping and soaring petrol prices as two of the main reasons behind this move.
- Comfort and satisfaction with the online experience has also increased dramatically and 88% stated they would spend substantial time researching products and prices online before making offline purchases.
- Over 50% of those surveyed will have started their Christmas shopping by November 1st, with 40.1% having already started by early October. But despite this "pre-planning" mentality, 75% of respondents expect that they will still be buying gifts as late as five days before Christmas.
The top 3 reasons shoppers are most likely to buy their Christmas gifts online:
1. Convenience - eliminate hassle of driving/parking/crowds (36%)
2. Flexibility - shop 24 hours of the day (33%)
3. Finding low prices (19%)
The top 3 things shoppers dislike about shopping for gifts on the high street:
1. Waiting in lines (30%)
2. Finding the right selection of gifts for everyone (28%)
3. Lack of time to get it all done (20%)
Additional finding
- 46% answered yes when asked if they would do more Christmas gift shopping online specifically because of high petrol prices
- 42% of respondents say they will shop for gifts online while at work. 45.2% of men surveyed admitted that they will shop online
while at work, while only 34.7% of women will count on shopping online while at work as an option
- About the same percentage of respondents answered that they will buy Christmas gifts online this year for pets (17%) as they will for co-workers (18%)
Survey Methodology
This Christmas shopping survey was conducted by PriceGrabber.com in October 2005. The survey ran from October 12-19 October 2005. It was administered online among a random sample of individuals. The total sample size was 3,012 respondents, 1,045 females and 1967 males. The confidence interval for all results is 95% with a margin of error of approximately +/-3 percentage points for the entire sample. LONDON - BUSINESS WIRE Nov. 2, 2005

Internet Security – A Beginners Guide
The quest for convenience is a two edged sword. In our quest for speed, efficiency and walking as little as possible, we strive to make life as simple as possible. It was not so log ago that business was done face to face; meetings and paper letters were how we communicated. When we shopped we walked or drove to a store, loaded a trolley or basket and checked out.
Now, we can sit in the comfort of our own home and have face to face meetings through video conferencing, send a letter in less than a second and most importantly, shift our hard earned cash from one bank to another.
But there is a price some pay and it goes beyond the fees and any appropriate software. The more convenient we make life, the more potential avenues for theft and fraud we create.
Internet security is of paramount importance. When you live in a city, you lock your house door, lock the car, engage the alarm and leave lights on when you go out.
We speak of a ‘global village’, but I think this gives a false impression. Life on the internet is not a village – it’s a global city – and city mentality is needed.
So how can you lock up and alarm your virtual doors?
ANITVIRUS
For some reason, there are some people out there who get kicks out of writing little programs that cause computers problems. These range from annoying little bugs to complete computer breakdown. It can either be irritating or catastrophic leading to a loss of all data.
The solution – anti-virus (a virus killer). There are many programs that can spot a virus when it comes via a website or email – and kill it outright – is like cyber-bleach. These programs stay in the background, get updated with the latest threats and jump into action when needed.
SPYWARE
Although spy ware doesn’t usually cause computer meltdown, it can actually be more damaging. Spy ware are other little programs that run in the background of your computer – the monitor you online activity and report back to the sender. The threat? If you're banking online or dealing with sensitive data, it could be under threat.
Like anti-virus software – there is a host of good spy ware checkers and removers.
It pays to get protected before you need it – there is no use locking the stable door after the horse has bolted. You can see the cyber locksmith http://online-security-solutions.com

Making Money On Forgotten Websites
A “forgotten” website is a site you may have created a few years ago that seemed like a great idea. Unfortunately, like many big ideas for the web, only a few realize their potential. The webmasters for these websites probably have tried banner ads, pay-per-click, and affiliate marketing and found that they could only make a few dollars per month. These money-losing websites often become forgotten, while the website owner begins work on another great idea. There are thousands of webmasters not making money on forgotten websites that actually offer the potential for substantial monthly income.
Selling text link advertising offers hope for many webmasters to make $200 plus per month by selling a few text links on their forgotten websites. How much a link is worth on a website depends on the metrics of the site. The more search engine backlinks, the higher the PR throughout the website, the more indexed pages, and the more great content a site has, the more your website can make selling text links. It is not uncommon for a strong, authority website to make more than $3,000 a month on text link sales alone.
If you want to monetize your site by selling text links, there are three ways to find buyers:
1.) Sell your links through a text link auction site like LinkAdage Auctions [ http://www.linkadage.com ]. Selling links yourself through an auction site will allow you to keep nearly all of your profits. The negative is that you need to post auctions, set your prices, post the links, and bill the winning bidders.
2.)Use a text link brokerage company. Text link brokers normally will give you a 50/50 split on what they charge for your links. While this seems like a lot, if you want to be hands-off and let someone else do 90% of the work, using a text link brokerage is the best way to go. With a brokerage, other than the negative of splitting half of your Link Ad revenue, you also have less control over the type of links that get included on your site.
3.)Include an “Advertise Rate” page on your website. Simply list the prices you want for a text link on your various pages. The best part of this method is that you will be able to keep all of your profits. The negative is that unless your site gets a lot of traffic, your link sales will be slow.
Mainly, don’t let your forgotten websites gather dust just because you have never made money on them. Even if what you can make is just a few hundred dollars per month selling links on a website, that will at least cover the site’s hosting fees and add a few thousand dollars to your net income at the end of the year.

IPOD Eco System
Technology is no longer stand alone innovations. When Apple releases IPOD variations or innovations, it energizes many different corporations. They design and market accessories like cases, rechargers, car adaptors, docking stations and more.
It is like a tango as and when Apple introduces temptations many satellite industries gear up to simultaneously make available for the consumer accessories. In fact analysis by NPD group reveals that for every US$3 million spent on IPODS a minimum of US$ 1 million is spent on accessories.
A whole chain has been created. There are accessory makers, designers, advertisers, marketing gurus, and retailers. And for most, accessories fill the till better than the IPODs themselves as profit margins are greater. It is not a one way street where satellite industries reap all the goodies. With racks filled with add-ons for IPODS, marketing campaigns, reviews, and demos Apple benefits by the creation of the “ultimate” image of greatness. The eco system creates a hype placing Apples IPOD as the “coolest” ever.
The range is huge, from simple cases priced from US$10-US$200 to speakers, transmitters, docking stations, baby strollers with a specialized slot for the IPOD, a belt with a buckle designed as an IPOD holder. For those with money to spend there are massage chairs with an IPOD holder in the armrest, customized speakers with glowing tubes and see through panels, as well as boom boxes.
As far as businesses are concerned it is a complete phenomenon with one small product leading to the creation of a whole industry or world. Unlike past successes like superman or Barbie dolls or the success of Disney land Apple has refrained from offering “complete” packages themselves. The accessory manufacturing remains small.
The business model or plan until now was not the creation of a single entity or exclusive partnership but an open system where many industries can vie for a slice of the Apple “gold dust”. But the balance is shifting and Apple is offering options like “Made for IPOD” logos in return for a royalty.
IPOD has not just inspired accessories but changes in simple things like clocks with snooze mechanisms. Now such clocks have been modified so that they can be easily paired with the IPOD. Then there are headphones, ear phones, beach bags, as well as clothes with IPOD pockets. Now in 2006 cars will be sold with IPOD facilities. The IPOD world seems to expand and there are no signs of slowing down at all.
The IPOD ecosystem is fast growing and is a multibillion dollar industry world wide. No one would have dreamed that a simple no frills digital player would spawn entrepreneurs world wide and since the “Bata” module the Apple IPOD has taken the center stage to create a business model where along with Apple thousand others taste sweet success.

Todo Sobre el Poquer
El pĆ³quer es un juego que comenzĆ³ durante los 1800, primero en Francia y sus alrededores. Gracias a inmigrantes y viajeros americanos y su alta demanda, el pĆ³quer llego al continente Americano transformĆ”ndose en uno de los juegos mĆ”s populares de la historia.
El PĆ³quer es sin duda un juego astuto que requiere de mucha atenciĆ³n y experiencia para tener buenos resultados y salir del juego sin desesperar.
Si es la primera vez que juegas, seguramente has pensado que es muy difĆcil jugar como se debe. Sin embargo, la mayorĆa de los principiantes se sienten de la misma manera, y luego comenzaron a jugar perdiendo el miedo. Gracias a algunas reglas y guĆas en lĆnea podrĆ”s jugar y quien sabe ganar.
Vying es un estilo de juegos que se origino en Francia y gracias a su llegada a AmĆ©rica, particularmente Nuevo OrleĆ”ns, nuevos tipos de PĆ³quer fueron creados, como pĆ³quer abierto, pĆ³quer cerrado, texas holdem, etc, 5 cerrado, 7 abierto y otros.
Las normas del juego son encontrar en las cartas recibidas al comienzo del juego y durante su proceso las combinaciones de cartas necesarias. Hay muchas combinaciones cada una vale mas o menos que otra. Por ejemplo carta mas alta es la menor, luego viene dos cartas iguales, tres cartas iguales, colores iguales, full house, escalera de color, etc. Escalera real es la combinaciĆ³n mas alta con la cual gana cualquier otra combinaciĆ³n (depende los valores de tus nĆŗmeros).
Lo interesante del juego es que cada mano deberƔs hacer decisiones que afectaran el resultado de la jugada. Por ejemplo, un vez que llegue tu turno deberƔs decidir si aumentar tu apuesta, continuarla, o dejar el partido.

Lets fight the self-appointed Spam Lords
Lets get one thing clear - SPAM is very bad. Spam is demeaning, intrusive, frustrating, etc. However, the reaction to Spam is defeatist, Luditist, intrusive and reactionary.
Firstly, lets look at the reality of Spam; you download your emails, you delete the Spam.
Come on, are they that hard to identify? Is the email from Aunt Dot injured by the Spam? Do you have to spend hours reading each one to the bitter end to guess it is spam?
Email programmes come with a button called - DELETE; so delete - end of the matter. I hear you whinning: "but they take so long to download"; "they fill my inbox"; "they contain pornography", etc. One answer: Delete.
Actually, the porn Spam does present a bigger problem- for children of course, and the degree of insult they produce. To be honest, if your email is privacy protected, which it should be, then these problems can be partially avoided as well.
By the way, Spamhaus, a major Spam identifier, notes that 80% of Spam originates with just 20 groups.
So how does everyone suffer from over-reaction when dealing with Spam? How many genuine emails get blocked by Spam walls? I will use some examples of personal experience to show you the problems.
I have had important emails blocked just because I used an ISP that one of the 20 gangs had used for a period. This ISP was actually the major telephone service for a country, one that about 50% of the country's residents used. Great response: close half a country's international emails.
I have had emails blocked because I used the word, 'free'. My project, is a free resource on the Internet. Now I cannot say free, and hundreds of schools write to me to ask if my Project is free. I have also had emails blocked because I said, "For adults working with children"; NO adults, obviously pornography.
A professor at a University asked me about my Project; he was considering doing research with me, but I could not reply to him: intrusive Spam wall.
How many international websites today do not include any email contact details, or go to great lengths to hide them? What is the point of a website if you cannot respond and communicate with the owner? Am I expected to make international phone calls, send letters, snail mail?
I can go on. The bottom line is that our fears of using a delete button have allowed us to start to lose one of the great technology innovations of this era: email.
Email is better than great: it is better than landing on the moon. How did we live without email? This amazing technology is being murdered by ourselves and our ridiculous, stupid over-reaction.
Weigh the good of email and the cost of Spam; the balance is wrong. Wake up! To join the fight AGAINST the spam lords

Why Order Flowers Online?
The best way to a man’s heart maybe through his stomach but for any woman, flowers will do. Any person who wants to impress a woman for any reason at all should send her flowers. Research shows that ninety two of one hundred women respondents were able to remember the times when they were given flowers.
The fact that almost all women would love to receive flowers has been stated over and over again but the male species have remained helpless when choosing gifts for the women in their loves. There is no doubt about it, women of all ages and professions love flowers and they will certainly feel good about anyone who can give them flowers no matter what the occasion is.
Flowers come in all shapes and sizes and anyone can choose from a variety of flowers depending on their budget. Non-expensive flowers are commonly available in flower shops but their recipients will definitely feel no less than special when receiving those flowers.
The more expensive flower arrangements will definitely impress the receiver but always remember that it is not the price of the flower that counts but the act and the though of giving the flowers.
Traditionally, flowers were only available in flower shops and supermarkets. However, the increasing demand for flowers as well as the popularity of the Internet has resulted to the existence of flower shops and websites selling flowers online.
Occasions like birthdays, Valentine’s, Christmas and other special events should no longer be a cause of worry for people who are apart from their loved ones because they can easily buy flowers online and have them sent to their loved ones wherever they may be.
Imagine a husband based in Norway. He and his wife are about to celebrate their wedding anniversary but he cannot be with her in Hawaii so to make up for the temporary separation during their special day, he orders flowers online and sends them to his wife in Hawaii who will receive the flowers fresh on the date of their anniversary.
However, people no longer have to wait for any special event before sending flowers to the women in their lives. Ordering flowers online is very easy and anyone with access to the Internet and who has a credit card can do just that.
Bring sunshine to the life of special women by sending them flowers. It can be your mother, daughter, sister, teacher---whoever they area, just send them flowers and you will be able to make them happy. The availability of flowers online has made many things possible including bringing a smile to every woman’s face. From now on, being busy at work will no longer be a valid reason for missing out on any occasion.

Google Adsense: How Formatting And Color Schemes Can Make Or Break Your Click Count!
With Google adsense even the slightest adjustment on your website can make a world of a difference. Adsense requires little effort at all on your part, but the changes you can control can vary the amount of clicks you receive. That is why the formatting and colors you use for the ad will allow you to collect a higher income and raise your adsense revenue.
When placing the Google adsense it is crucial you place it directly in the heart of your content. You want the ad to be noticed but at the same time not take away from the content on your website. You want the adsense to compliment your content, not BE your content. Square and wide rectangular ads tend to fair the best and receive the most clicks for people.
You want to place your adsense above the main fold to maximize your clicks. The higher up on the page your ads are the more likely people will click on them. This is because not everyone reads all the content on your website, but by putting your adsense towards the top it is one of the first things they see.
Placing objects around the ads are a sure way to increase your adsense revenue as well. If you place images next to or above, the ads the images will draw the readers’ eyes towards your ads with more potential for people to click on them. You do not want to place too many images as this will drop the quality of your page, but placing one or two images will look professional and serve its purpose at the same time.
When adjusting the background color and border color of your google adsense box, you don’t want to make it stand out from the rest of the page. Have the background and border colors be very similar, if not the same color, as the background of your webpage itself. The color of the ad link URL should always be a lighter shade than that of the text. If the text is black then make your adlink a light gray shade. All in all your goal is to make the adsense have the same color scheme as your website has to help it blend in as oppose to looking like an ad that stands out.
It is important that you pay attention to the formatting of your Google adsense and maybe even adjust it from time to time. Make sure to keep records of how you fair as far as clicks go if you do make an adjustment. Testing will help you find what works best for your website. While it may seem like a very little adjustment on your webpage, it will ultimately determine how many clicks you receive. The formatting and color schemes you use are a vital aspect towards your success with adsense.

Tag Clouds Coming to Your Desktop
With overwhelming amounts of information cramming the Internet, it's harder and harder to find something meaningful every day. Web catalogs such as DMOZ can hardly list a few million sites, when there are literally hundreds of millions of them in the wild. There are almost a hundred billion unique Web pages in existence. It comes to no surprise that this non-structured, hardly categorized crowd can no longer be effectively searched.
Finding a particular site from billions of pages is near impossible statistically. One has to be dedicated and persistent in formulating advanced search queries in order to find the result. You can 'surf' the list of returned results, and if you're lucky, you’ll find what you need. Want more of the same kind of result? Until today, you had no other choice but to continue surfing.

One more click, and the view is transmutated to display what other pages are referred by the page you are researching. Need your own view? Unleash your imagination and make one!
With P-Navigator, you can discover hidden information, find out how one document is related to others, assemble all connections and solve the puzzle. Intrigued? Download P-Navigator now (http://www.p-navigator.com/). Revolutionize your search and never look back.

How to Improve your Odds in the
One of the most important things to remember when playing in a land based casino is that the layout of the casino is designed to pull you into the games with the worst player odds. To help pull you further into the casino the casinos will usually use the bells and whistles of slot machines, and video poker games.
This may make you think that the slot machines on the way to the blackjack, poker, roulette and craps tables are the ones to play, but this is usually not the case.
The casinos will place some loose machines in the area leading to these games so that you will hear the bells ad look up and see the flashing light from the winning machines, and when you look you will see the table gamming areas of the casino.
This method puts the thought of wining and table games into your mind together making you think you can win at the table games. The truth is that your chances of going home from the casinos a millionaire is only likely if you walked into the casino as a millionaire.
This does not mean you can not go home with more money in your pockets then when you entered the casino or online casino. It only means that you need to be smarter and not fall for the casinos tricks.
Most people come to casinos knowing just the basics to the most popular casino games played today. Everyone knows how to play Blackjack, but there is more to the game then just trying to get your cards close to 21 without going over.
So by studying one game and spending all your time on that game you will be increasing your skills at the game and you will soon see that the basics are not enough when you are playing for money, especially if you want to win.
Pick a casino game that you enjoy because this is going to be your game, and you are going to spend a lot of time practicing and learning about the game. Then spend as much of your free time as you can, playing the game.
There are many online casinos and web sites that offer you the option of playing poker, or blackjack for free and also offer different variations of the game. This will allow you to get plenty or practice against a computer and other people before risking your money in a casino.
Try to pick a table with other knowledgeable players. Playing a game like poker or blackjack at a table full of amateurs will put you at a disadvantage, but at the same time you do not want to pick a table where you are the worst player no matter how good you are.
It is recommended that before sitting at any card game in a casino or an online casino that you watch a few hands to help judge the skills of the other players.
The longer you play and the more your skill increases you will be amazed at how much more money you are leaving the casinos with.

Why we Need to Take Risks
It does not matter if you are a Doctor, a Lawyer or an infantry soldier in the Army if you want to be the best and get ahead, you will need to take risks.
A doctor may have to take risks when working with a patient. The Doctor may have to experiment with different forms of medications or new surgical procedures when all else has failed in an attempt to help the patient.
A lawyer may have to argue a case in an unorthodox manner to win the case, but if the lawyer wants to become the top lawyer and make millions of dollars fighting high profile cases lots of risks have to be taken.
A soldier may have to take a risk and run thru gunfire to save another injured soldier, to complete their mission, or just to secure an area from being overrun by enemy troops, after going days with little to no sleep, but if a soldier wants to get promotions and eventually lead men into battle they also need to take risks.
These risks are not unlike someone looking to get rich in a casino, they have to be willing to risk everything they have to get that million dollar payoff. If you play it safe in a casino you may get lucky and win a big jackpot on the slot machines, but if you want to make millions you are going to have to play games such as Poker, Blackjack, Roulette and Craps . These are the games that with some skill, some luck and a lot of risk taking you can retire off your winnings.
The same can be said about life in general. No one gets ahead in life from playing it safe. You will not meet your special someone if you are too afraid to risk getting rejected by someone, you will never get that big promotion unless you take risks at your job.
It is very important to continue to take risks in life. To stop taking risks means to stand still in life. Standing still in life is one of the main causes of depression. These are usually the people afraid to confront the boss and tell him that they demand a raise; they are the ones that allow life to pass them by out of fear. The entire purpose of fear is to stop you from taking a risk.
Fear is nothing more then the unknown. If you have always wanted to quit your job and open a shop but you are too afraid to do it, this is because you are afraid of failing and risking what you already have.
It is important to learn to take risks in life if you want to be happy, you may not always get the things you risked for, but you will know that you tried, and in the end it does not matter in my opinion if you succeed or not it is how many risks you try to make that is the real test of how successful you are.
Just remember if no one took risks we would be a world without flight and probably no automotive vehicles at all, maybe we would have no electricity. So risk truly is needed to improve the world.

Help For Joomla! Users: The XML Setup File Error Message – Upload Failed
The content management system known as Joomla! is a powerful and versatile software system that will not only become increasingly popular, but will become more usable as program developers create more and more extensions. However, not all software additions are always flawlessly easy to install, especially in their first releases. If you are a newcomer to Joomla!, and if you have tried to add on any extensions to the basic Joomla 1.0.10 software, you may have encountered an error message when using the Joomla! installer to try to install new components, modules, or mambots (via a zip file). The error messages that we have seen have included the following kinds of text messages: "Upload mambot - Upload Failed ERROR: Could not find an XML setup file in the package Upload mambot - Failed" or "Upload mambot - Failed XML setup file is not for a mambot." For example, at one of our Joomla websites, we initially had trouble trying to install these 4 file downloads: com_performs v1, com_pollxt, docmanV13_RC_2, and mod_adsense_joomlaspan_2[1].0_C, which we obtained through browsing the extensions offered at the http://Joomla.org website. After some web research and our own trial and error process, we discovered some easy installation solutions that solved our problems, but we cannot guarantee these will work for everyone. We worked with the latest version, Joomla 1.0.10.
First, pay attention to the menu options under which you are trying to install these. If the file begins with a "mod", then under the Installer tab click on "modules" (not mambots or components). If it begins with a "com", then try the components option under the Installer tab. If it does not give you a clue in the file name, you can just try all three options to see if one works, or go back to the Joomla extensions page and check to see how it is listed--as a mambot, module, or component.
Second, some of the extensions need to have the initial zip file (exactly as you downloaded it) uploaded via the installer. Others have another zip file inside the initial zip file (that you can see in the folder created when you extract the files), and it is that inner zip file that needs to be uploaded via the installer (and remember, uploaded under the right category--component, module, mambot). By the way, when we say uploaded here, we are referring to the button inside the Installer section that refers to uploading and unpacking. If you need further help with your Joomla software, the information and forum at http://Joomlaya.com might be of help.

Keywords: The Basic Unit Of E-Commerce.
Traffic is the key right? The more targeted the traffic the better right? And how do you get traffic? Well the simple answer is that you need to have high search engine rankings but that is such a general and unhelpful answer. So I am going to try and give you a better idea of the inner workings of a search engine ranking including the most fundamental and obvious and therefore most underestimated factors, namely keywords.
Keywords are just that key words that people type into the blank for the search engine that describe what they are interested in finding out about. Basically the search engine tries to match the keyword with the content of millions of different web pages that it crawls through and ranks in order from most applicable to least the pages whose content has any thing to do with the keyword.
Now the search engine has different criteria that it weights in its evaluation of the relatedness of a web page to specific keywords. Unfortunately for those interested in high rankings these criteria are for the search engines to know and for us in the internet marketing field to find out. In other words they are unspoken. That isn't to say however that we don't know anything about them but it is to say that we have only found out about them through trial and error testing--we find out what works and stick with it.
There is another problem with this though. That is that the search engine, in order to give all pages a chance and to keep the content on the internet fresh are always changing their criteria and trying to improve their search results as far as relevancy is concerned. So the testing is always going on and those who are good at seeing the trends and predicting changes are able to stay successful in their field. One must remember though that despite all of these changes, there is nothing changing the way a customer searches for his interests on the internet.
So before you worry about all the complicated criteria you must target your content to the appropriate keywords. There are many tools that help you to research keywords, and many are free. Basically you are looking for keywords that are searched for the most that describe your product or the market your product is included in well enough that people who come to your page through that search will agree that you have what they were looking for. This is the essence of "targeted" traffic. Think about it for a minute, you can have all the traffic in the world come to your page but you will only get sales from those that are in need of what you have to offer. It only makes sense then to bring those people to your site.

Running A Profitable Web Site
New web sites are popping up on the internet at an astonishing rate. Many of these sites are being created by ordinary people looking to earn extra money on the internet. With the simplicity of web authoring tools that are readily available, it’s become much easier for internet newcomers to develop and maintain professional looking web sites.
Even with the web authoring tools and so many other resources at your disposal, it will still require a lot of work and patience before you see any real profit from your web site. The actual creation of your site is only one step in a series of steps that must be taken in running a profitable web site.
To help make your web site as successful as possible, I’ve identified seven helpful tips for you to follow:
1. Create as much original content as possible. People enjoy reading original content, which will keep your visitors on your site longer. People also tend to return to sites more often that frequently update their content.
2. Make sure all links on your site are active. Make it a habit to check your links on regular basis to ensure they work and that visitors are being directed to the page or site you intend. If people can't get to where they want to go, they will leave.
3. Make sure the content and graphics on your web site are relevant to its theme. People can be easily confused if they land on a site expecting a particular topic, but the content or graphics don’t match that topic. Most people will just move on to the next site.
4. Include a contact page or email address for visitors to contact you. By providing contact information, your business will be given more credibility. Plus, a potential customer may have a question about a product or service you’re promoting.
5. Speaking of questions, adding a FAQ’s to your web site would be a great benefit to your visitors. By listing answers to common questions, your visitor will be able to have a specific issue addressed without any interaction from you. This saves you time to focus on other matters.
6. Offer your visitors a gift for visiting your web site, and provide other incentives for them to return. These could include ebooks, software or even a subscription to your newsletter. Most people are drawn to free gifts which will compel them to return to your site.
7. Layout your web site in a logical order. For example, if you’re promoting a product, don’t give away a free gift until your visitor learns about the product. You want to keep your visitors focused on your product or site for as long as possible.
By applying the techniques above, you should be able to keep visitors on your web site longer and increase your overall traffic. If you’re promoting a product or service, more visitors equate to more potential sales; resulting in more profit from your web site.

Video Poker: How to Play the Game
If you are looking for a fun and challenging alternative to playing slot machines, video poker is the game for you. Instead of simply pulling the machine handle and hoping that you will be lucky enough to meet a row of identical icons, in video poker your moves would rule whether you win or lose. Moreover, the house edge in video poker is much lower than at slots.
Playing video poker is similar to playing draw poker on a slot machine. It enables you to enjoy the action of poker without having to face other players who may be more experienced and skilled than you are. In addition, in video poker, there are no dealers, no rakes, no bluffing, no cheating; it is all about you and your poker skills.
How to Play Video Poker:
There are several variations to video poker. Some of the video poker variations are played with standard 52 card decks while others are played with additional wild cards. All the variations are based on the traditional card game of poker. Therefore, a basic knowledge of poker hand ranking is necessary.
You start by choosing the coin value you wish to play and then pick the number of coins that you want to bet. Afterwards, you click on deal and five cards will appear on your screen. You can discard some or all of the cards and replace them with new ones. After pressing hold on the cards you wish to keep, you push the deal button and the machine replaces your discarded cards with new ones.
The outcome of the second draw determines whether you win or lose. Each video poker machine displays its payout table, which details the number of coins the machine pays for each five card poker hand. The payout table differs from one video poker variation to the other and so is the minimum hand that qualifies for a payout.
Video poker odds are the same as in regular card poker. A 52 card deck produces more than 2.5 million hand combination. Each video poker machine is set by a random number generator, which simulates the probabilities of drawing any of the poker hand combinations. While in regular card poker, the casino ensure its profits by collecting a rake, in video poker the casino ensure its profits by setting each machine pay table differently.
Video Poker Tips:
1) Learn the basics of draw poker before you start playing video poker at online casinos or at a casino nearby.
2) Know the machine payout of the table you have decided to play at by selecting the machine that offers the highest return.
3) Adjust your strategy to the specific video poker variation you intend to play.
4) Use a mathematical strategy to play the game correctly.
5) Do not keep cards that cannot be used to form a winning hand.
6) Hold on to any pair instead of keeping a high card.
7) Keep any pair rather than draw into a straight or a flush.
8) Practice playing online video poker in a play money mode.

How to Meet that Special Someone
Chances are unless you are very lucky you will go thru many different relationships before you find your special someone. Finding your sole mate is like gambling. In poker and blackjack you may have to play dozens of hands until you get a winning hand, and it is the same with relationships.
During your life you will probably meet some people who seem like they may be the one, or that they are close, but still have the feeling that something else is missing. My advice is that if you are not happy, because something seems like it is missing, then it usually is not right.
Before I found my special someone, I was in a relationship for over 10 years, and I thought everything was great, until I started to seriously consider getting married. Then I noticed that we had so little in common and in reality wanted so many different things out of life and one day we both realized there was much about each of us that we both wanted from someone, but it was not us that we wanted.
Then one day I decided I had enough of trying to go to clubs and bars to meet people. I was sick and tired of trying to find someone in the time it takes to finish a drink. It always seemed the ladies I would meet were all wrong for me, or they seemed great after talking to them for 5 minutes but they seemed to have no interest in me.
Then one day I had an idea, it was not an original idea but I decided to use the internet to try to find the right person for me. So I proceeded to make a myspace profile. On this page I tried to put the real me and not the funny guy trying to be charming that was looking for love at the bar.
And as I would at the poker rooms I went all in, I poured my heart and sole into this. I wrote what I wanted and wrote down who I truly think I am and not who I want to be, and I was rewarded by 1 email responding to my site.
It was amazing; the response I got was like a dream. Imagine you are sitting in a Las Vegas casino playing poker. You are down to your last few dollars, you go all in and you wind up being dealt a Royal Flush, and suddenly the sky is bluer, the grass is greener, and all your worries seem to just fade away.
At first things were a little awkward for the both of us. We decided to hold of on actually meeting until we got to know each other first. We spent a month just talking everyday on the internet. You can really open up to someone and show them the real you and not have to worry about rejection on the internet, after all you are just a faceless ghost, and if things don’t work out you could be sitting next to her on the bus one day without ever knowing it.
The key to finding happiness is realizing you are going to bust more then you are going to get blackjack, but you must keep trying, trying to remember you only need to find the real thing once.
