Superoceans (Possible fraud alert)

rgeczi — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 03:37:49 +0000

Recently, we helped a friend purchase a watch, and a box, from the company Superoceans. Their website is http://www.superoceans.com. I usually don’t like to deal with these sort of people because they operate quite a few sites, making them a bit elusive if some problems ever come up. Well, we are at that point right now. Supposedly, my friend bought from Superoceans before without a problem, so there was some precedence of them following through on the order, but this latest time, they really dropped the ball so to speak.

So, as we warned our members about another fraud, related to scrap materials, we want to warn others about this Superoceans company. If something changes on our side, like we get the product that was ordered, or a refund was given, we will post the update on here. Until then, be aware that this company, at least with us, has a poor track record in following through with an order, once money is paid. They also operate other websites that deal with replica items, so if it gets to that point, we will list their other websites, along with contact information, and so on.

Funny Mill – HUGE database of Yo Mama jokes and other jokes

rgeczi — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 07:16:43 +0000

Today in our Spotlight Links post, we want to introduce to all of you a website that we just created not too long ago, called “Funny Mill”, and the address to it is http://funnymill.com. We feel teachers need a way to release all the energy, and all the pressure that goes along with teaching, and what better way to do it than to read some of the many jokes posted on that website.

We have jokes for many different kinds of people, for many different circumstances, and everything in between. Currently on the website, one section we just erected is called “Yo Mama Jokes”, which of course focuses on the ever popular, never out of date, mama jokes that you threw around as a kid. In some circumstances, maybe if you are dealing with older students, and have a good relationship with them, can pass on a few yo mama jokes. That would be one cultural exchange they might not have expected, but one to bring a ton of humour into your relationship.

So, go on over to Funny Mill to start the laughs.

Which is the best new smartphone on the market?

rgeczi — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 01:31:06 +0000

The big smartphones OSes on the market have all got new phones available, but which one is best? Let’s take a look how the latest Symbian, Android and Windows Mobile phones stack up against each other.

Sony Ericsson Satio

It’s fair to say that the Sony Ericsson Satio is easily one of the most hotly anticipated phones of the year. On the face of it, the big reason for the excitement is its 12 megapixel camera, and whilst that is a force to be reckoned with, there’s so much more to the Sony Ericsson Satio. It’s the first ‘Entertainment Unlimited’ phone, and that doesn’t just mean it combines Cyber-Shot and Walkman technology. On top of that, the Sony Ericsson Satio is also going to pull in social networking, high quality games and incredible video services to become a one-stop mobile entertainment hub. It promises far more than that, however, as the Sony Ericsson Satio is also powered by Symbian, giving it true smartphone capabilities, which will no doubt include its very own app store.

Motorola DEXT

Android is trying to take over the world, and its new home is the beautiful Motorola DEXT. Part of the huge appeal of the Motorola DEXT is its brilliant new interface, which Motorola are calling MOTOBLUR. It’s designed to put all your social networking tools right on the front page of your Motorola DEXT, so staying connected with the world is easier than ever. You also get the Android Marketplace, which lets you download and install third party apps to your Motorola DEXT, and it ends up creating a smartphone that really can morph into whatever you want it to be.

HTC HD2

So, the Motorola DEXT brings Android to the party, and adds on a new custom interface. The Sony Ericsson Satio does the same to Symbian. But is there a phone that can outdo them? Yes, there is: the HTC HD2. If you’re talking big screens, there’s no way you can avoid the HTC HD2, because it holds the record for the biggest screen seen on a mobile phone. At a huge 4.3 inches, it is truly vast, and the high, 800×480 resolution makes it genuinely easy to use things like scrollbars in menus. However, the HTC HD2 actually does a very good job of making it so you don’t have to go into standard Windows menus that often, as on top of the operating system, the interface is HTC’s patented TouchFLO 3D setup, where everything is achieved through various finger swipes and sweeping gestures. It is truly intuitive, and it (along with the truly awesome 1GHz Snapdragon processor) is the reason why the HTC HD2 is such an unmitigated joy to use. Of course, it’s not all about being pretty, a phone needs to have decent features and the HTC HD2 has them in spades, from the 5 megapixel camera, through GPS, to incredibly fast HSDPA internet access (not to mention the superb Opera Mobile web browser). To a lot of people, the HTC HD2 is the ultimate Windows Mobile- no, the ultimate phone, full stop, that has ever been made…

ADD and Anxiety: How I believe ADD and ADHD was caused by my anxiety disorder

rgeczi — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 15:39:10 +0000

My entire life I have had difficulty paying attention. In school, I would often stare at the clock or around the classroom trying to find things that were more interesting that what the teacher was lecturing about. It wasn’t too difficult, as I’ve always found school to be incredibly boring.

As I got older and grew into an adult, terms like “Adult ADD or ADHD” became buzzwords on television and magazine advertising. I had certainly convinced myself that that must be EXACTLY what I had!!!

How many times have I been in meetings for work, and a superior will say, “So, what do you think about this?” And I would jump out of my own little world and be like, “Huh? Could you repeat the question please?” This would of course embarrass the hell out of me and would shock me into giving extra effort into paying attention, which only lasted until I once again became distracted.

It wasn’t until later on when I really started putting two and two together. I began to notice that the days that I felt incredibly anxious or panicky, everything people would try to explain to me would go in one ear and out the other. Anxiety seems to give a person extremely selective hearing. It seems that with anxiety, the only thing I seemed to be able to focus on were things that I was naturally very interested in. Such things did NOT include school lectures and office politics!!

Then I found the program that cures panic and anxiety. It made me realize that anxiety will completely cloud your logical thinking with emotion. Fear is a very potent emotion. When one is consumed by it, all logic and common sense is thrown out the window. It is extremely difficult to focus on anything of importance when your minds is clouded by anxiety or panic.

So as my anxiety died down more and more every week, my sense of focus returned. What I had been calling, “brain fog”, slowly dissipated. (I had orginally thought that perhaps this “brain fog” had been the result of smoking and anxiety. But the effects of smoking on my attention span were short lived.) I started to experience a sense of clarity that I hadn’t felt since I was a teenage, when I was focused on my favorite video games. It was then I understood the relationship between the symptoms of ADD and ADHD and anxiety.

Common Terms Used For a Variety of Tuxedos For Weddings – Joe Rocket Jackets

rgeczi — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 05:21:17 +0000

It’s not difficult to find tuxedos for weddings, but sometimes it can be difficult to understand the different components and accessories that go with this type of formal wear. While there are plenty of knowledgeable sales associate to help you understand every part of tuxedos for weddings, it never hurts to do a little research up front so that you have some knowledge when speaking to formalwear sales attendants.

Check out the link that mentions these Russian fraudsters, and the link to our site.

Learn How to Backup Your Xbox 360 Games

rgeczi — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 23:57:19 +0000

Today, when you refer to your favorite video games, there’s a good chance that you’re talking about Xbox 360 games. They have become number one on the market, and their sales keep increasing daily. If you already own an Xbox 360 system, and have started a growing collection of games, you’ve experienced first hand just how expensive these Xbox 360 games can be. The cost of buying new games, or worse replacing damaged games, has become so expensive that you and other gamers have come to realize the importance of knowing how to backup your Xbox 360 games.

Xbox 360 game disks are fragile. The media are nothing more than DVD disks. They scratch easily, they break easily, and they are easily lost or stolen. All you need to do is drop a game disk onto a hard surface to damage it so badly that it becomes unplayable. The simple act of playing these games results in minor damage to the surface of the disks cause by the playing mechanism. Through repeated and frequent use, these minor damages can accumulate to damage a disk permanently. To reduce these risks, you have no choice but to backup your Xbox 360 games in order to be freed from the worry about replacing them if they are lost or damaged.

You’re probably aware, if you’ve tried copying Xbox games using your traditional copying software, that Xbox games cannot be copied without special software due to the manufacturer’s integrated copy protection scheme. Several software developers recognized the problem for gamers and developed special software that can bypass this copy protection and allow reliable copying of Xbox 360 games.

There are a few things that you’ll need in order to backup your Xbox 360 games

* A game copying software application that is specially designed to bypass Xbox games’ copy protection scheme.
* A computer with a working DVD burner.
* Some high-quality DVD blank disks. Don’t use cheap disks of unknown quality. Your games are expensive enough to warrant the best media.

Once you have gathered all of the necessary equipment and supplies, you can begin copying your valuable games. The process is fairly straightforward, and is basically the same regardless of what game copying software you decide to use.

1. Install the game copying software into your computer, and start it up.
2. Insert the original Xbox 360 game to be copied, and follow the onscreen instructions.
3. When indicated, remove the Xbox game and insert a DVD blank disk, and follow the onscreen instructions.
4. When indicated, remove the now finished backup of your Xbox game.

You can now store away your original game for safekeeping, and keep the backup copy available for daily use. Now that you have learned how to backup your Xbox 360 games, you can backup all of your valuable games. By reducing the risk of damage to your original Xbox 360 games, you can avoid spending your hard earned money on replacing damaged or lost games.

Spanish Verb Training Software, Luxury or Neccessity?

rgeczi — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 22:09:31 +0000

Spanish verb conjugation is without a shadow of a doubt, the most difficult part of learning Spanish. The fact that most of the verbs you will use regularly are irregular verbs just compounds the problem as it makes it even more difficult to reach the point where you can hold down a half-decent conversation. To put it simply, if you want to speak Spanish you have to know and understand how to conjugate and use Spanish verbs.

Learning verb conjugations has always been tedious; hours of mind-numbingly boring repetition until you eventually reach a point where you are dreaming in your sleep about conjugation. This method of learning Spanish verbs and their various conjugations is unpleasant, un-enjoyable and time-consuming, but until relatively recently, it was the only way to learn them, hence why there were far more students who started to learn Spanish than were actually finishing.

When you put it into perspective, learning verbs, is a massive task. There are three groups of regular verbs which, by the way, are pretty easy to master, each of these groups consists of thousands of different verbs. However, the real problem is with learning the many irregular verbs, of which there are well over two thousand, and many of those verbs are amongst the most regularly used verbs in everyday speech.

Although learning two thousand irregular verbs seems an almost impossible mountain to climb, many of these are quite obscure and will rarely be used and are therefore verbs you should, and will, pick up as you start to use the language more frequently but, there still remains a core of about fifty, very difficult verbs, that need to be learned to be able to master conversational Spanish and it is these verbs that consistently cause the most difficulty for students.

The proverbial ‘knight in shining armour’ of this tale has been the successful introduction of the home computer and the internet, in particular Spanish verb training software. The most recent programs not only drastically increase the speed at which the most difficult verbs are learned but they also provide a huge amount of enjoyment whilst studying which means that memorization of difficult conjugations is vastly improved.

In short, if you are serious about learning Spanish you should understand how important learning verb conjugations is, and therefore, you should also understand that a tool such as a verb training program is no longer a luxury and is instead an absolute necessity if you want to learn Spanish successfully and in the shortest time possible!
