Law of Attraction the Basics

June 4th, 2008   general   No Comments »

The movie, “The Secret” brought the concept of the law of attraction to the mainstream population.

The Law of Attraction is based upon some fundamental laws that govern the universe in which we live; these laws mean that our thoughts have great power. The Law of Attraction tells us that with the power of the mind, anything is possible.

The fundamental law of the Universe tells us that we all have within us an innate power – and the knowledge necessary to use that power – that enables to us develop and form the world around us. In the young this is knowledge is at the forefront of our young minds. As we get older this knowledge is pushed into the depths of our conscious by negative, pessimistic thoughts emitted by negative, pessimistic relatives and friends. The Law of Attraction realizes that this power and knowledge is buried deep within our minds and souls – some people have buried it deeper than others in an attempt to ‘fit it’ with society’s ideals – and helps us to coax it out.

Once we have the basic concepts of the Law of Attraction within our grasp we can begin to move mountains. Almost literally. A brief précis like this cannot hope to detail the implications of the Law, but hopefully it will have given some indication of the power available to you.

Will the 3G affect how iPhone Games are played

June 1st, 2008   general   2 Comments »

Downloading iPhone games can be a very rewarding experience: some of the newer ?releases are simply stunning. Some of them come with simply stunning prices, too. ?Never fear! A little research might mean either substantial savings or even, gasp!, free ?iPhone games.?

So at the top end of the iPhone games feeding chain are the premium titles that you’re ?going to shelling out an arm and a leg. It’s unlikely that you’ll get these for much ?cheaper (unless you take the sneaky route: see later) so get your credit card out.?

Next in the iPhone games list are those membership sites which, for an upfront or a ?monthly fee, will let you download unlimited numbers of games from their ?collections. The value of the selections available depends greatly on the site in ?question (and to some extent the price you’re willing to pay).?

Next, and near the bottom or our list are those iPhone games that are available for ?free, online and through the browser. Fundamentally there is nothing wrong with this ?approach but it often leads to simple throwaway iPhone games that are unlikely to ?hold your attention for very long.?

The sneaky route: download via torrents, P2P or warez. But we don’t advise this due ?to the risk of viruses and incarceration for enthusiastic downloaders. Still, if it’s your ?bag then go for it.?

Restaurants in Phuket a great value

May 27th, 2008   general   1 Comment »

The food in Thailand is famous and is amongst the most varies and delicious anywhere in the world. The restaurants in Phuket are no exception and if you’re traveling here it’s best to prepare your lucky taste buds for a treat like no other. There are so many delicacies and specialties on offer that the choice of restaurants in Phuket can soon become a little overwhelming. Stand back, take a deep breath, and make a choice. You can’t go wrong.

The variety of dishes offered in restaurants in Phuket is perhaps its biggest draw. Popular with the locals and adventurous visitors alike the dish (normally eaten for breakfast) called Khanon Jeen. Khanon is a Thai curry dish that is served with rice noodles.

Much of the fun of the Restaurants in Phuket is in not knowing what will come next. Drifting around the numerous food outfits might see you eating some Khanon Jeen outside on a street stall in the morning, while you may be eating in a fancy resort restaurant for lunch followed by a session jostling with locals in a food hall. Whatever you choose there is always fabulous food at great prices in the restaurants in Phuket.

Ares Free Download? Not Destiny

May 26th, 2008   Featured, general   12 Comments »

As with most things in life, sometimes Free is good, and sometimes not. The Ares filesharing software falls somewhere in between.

Ares Galaxy was the origional version of Ares, and is still available for free, but it is not maintained anymore and new users are often having problems connecting to the network. Not good.

Ares Destiny is also free, which is great. Download speeds are impressive and the software works okay, though not brilliantly. Ares Destiny’s major failing though is in packaging the rather heinous Dealio ad serving software in with the free Ares download. This ad server – that is another name for spyware or malware, by the way – infiltrates your system without you really knowing. And once installed, it is very difficult to get the little blighter off. Also not good.

Ares vista is currently our favorite version of Ares. Its big draw origionally was for users with the windows vista operating system, which makes it difficult to use other P2P programs. But an even bigger reason to go with Ares Vista now is their improved connection techniques. Ares Ultra has adopted this improved connection technique.

Right now, Ares Vista, and Ares Ultra are often the only versions of Ares that are able to connect to the network. Unfortunately, neither one is not quite free either. They do offer a free download which lets the user connect to the network and see all the different music available for downloading, but require registration and payment of around $20 before you can actually download anything. Not quite free, but if you can spare $20 its better than any of the 100% free versions that are available today.

Salvia Trips

May 25th, 2008   general   2 Comments »

The use of hallucinogenics has been recognized for thousands of years as being helpful to those seeking to follow the path of a spiritual journey. Quite why the hallucinogenic is seen as helpful is not clear, though I imagine the feeling of disembodiment can feel slightly outer-worldly and as such may put those experiencing the Salvia ‘trip’, seemingly, on the same level of the spirits and gods. Who knows?

Anyway, no matter what the reasoning behind their use, the fact remains that hallucinogenics like Salvia – both legal and illegal – have been popular for thousands of years.

Salvia Divinorum falls into the legal category (at least it does in most countries and US States) and is freely available over the Internet. Those who buy salvia report a variety of experiences. Some experience leaving their bodies and traveling in the astral world, while others report traveling back in time or to a point in the future.

iPhone Games and Accessories are Essential addons

May 20th, 2008   general   3 Comments »

Apple has been making moves to increase its iPhone games net. Negotiations in Canada, Italy and 10 other countries mean that Apple’s reach before the launch of the second generation iPhone games – due soon – is getting all that much bigger. Apple’s campaign at the moment seems driven towards this imminent release (though the date is currently unknown) and they have even stopped supplying handsets from their online shops.

Apple’s motivation behind the decision to stop supplies is fairly transparent: stopping the supply will increase the demand up until the point when the new iPhone games is released; there will also be no need to recall outdated stocks from shops when the release is announced. The clever boys and girls have done it again.

People are reportedly holding off the purchase of the iPhone games until the newer model hits the shops, so this shortage isn’t going turn fans away in favor of the Palm or similar.

Ares Vista worked for me

May 9th, 2008   general   6 Comments »

Downloading music has become a bit of a dangerous hobby of late: the RIAA and music publishers have really started to crack down on the dangerous felons that perpetrate this heinous crime…

So I decided that I wanted a piece of that action. Because I’m like that.

I went online and downloaded some filesharing software (the name of which shall remain nameless), installed it and fired it up. It quickly became clear that this nameless software wasn’t going to play nicely with Windows Vista. The next one I tried gave the same results. The ‘improved’ security system just doesn’t like filesharing, it seems.

Feeling a slight sense of desperation I did some more searching and came across Ares Vista. As the name suggests, this was made with the latest Windows OS in mind. I installed it and, to my sheer delight, it worked straight away.

I could stop there and say: install Ares vista now. But that wouldn’t give the whole story, as the strength of this software is more than just compatibility issues. The whole Ares Vista package is worth its weight in gold: the system runs quickly and smoothly and I am always able to find exactly the options and commands I need. This is carefully thought out software and I like that.

I wholeheartedly recommend Ares Vista.

Free music downloads

May 2nd, 2008   general   2 Comments »

The music industry is going through some tough times at the moment. This downturn of fortunes has not been helped by the insurgence of free music downloads  available, formerly though channels such as torrents and Ares and, latterly, through more legitimate sources such as we7 and various providers. Free music downloads is a fact of life in the music industry and it is interesting to see some artists, some studios and some producers embracing the fact while others simply hang onto bygone days when their business model worked.

One shining example of leveraging online user base for money and for massive media coverage was Radiohead’s In Rainbows, offered to the public for download at a price which they picked. Whether this was a success, financially or otherwise, is not known, but it was the first serious attempt to use free music downloads for the good of those who owned the rights. Many other bands have followed the lead here and free music downloads downloads are becoming more of a common sight.

3G iPhone downloads will be in Plethora

April 25th, 2008   general   1 Comment »

Almost a year after its debut in the US, Apple’s iconic iPhone may be in line for an upgrade: the new 3g iPhone is rumored to be being released this summer. You want better news? An AT&T deal will see the price of the new 3g iPhone downloads slashed by as much as $200 when compared to the old model.

This subsidy will be available to new 3g iPhone customers who sign up for a 2 year deal. This price cut would place the 3g iPhone within financial reach of a much wider range of people than the original iPhone. It is likely that models sold by AT&T will be locked or programmed so that buyers can’t take the cheaper iPhone to another, cheaper, service.

AT&T’s model is not new in the business and it will be able to make the price of the cut back in a matter of months. Nevertheless this is interesting news for people thinking about investing in the father of mobile technology.

Home Business Office

April 18th, 2008   general   No Comments »

The computer is such an integral part of almost any home business these days that it beggars belief to hear of people trying to do without or trying to ‘make do’ with an inferior piece of equipment. While it is clear that many a home business, especially when first starting, is under the cosh of a very limited budget, this is no excuse for not starting out right. Good computers are available for a few hundred dollars and this expenditure should be weighed against the almost instant increase in productivity that will be enjoyed for the benefit of your home business.

Likewise a telephone. While it may seem like an unnecessary expense, just losing one potential client due to miscommunication resulting from a poor phone is completely unacceptable. A hundred dollars or so is not a lot in the grand scheme of things and if you don’t lose that client then it has paid for itself very quickly. Investing in your home business is an important and crucial thing to do.
