An Affiliate Site Is Often A Sensible Way To Earn Money

noreply@blogger.com (rexdgrey) — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 00:59:00 +0000

No matter what you may have read, earning cash online is not easy. There is however a number of methods that have always been worthwhile. And one of the easiest and most prosperous ways is to begin your own affiliate websites. Your best bet is to start with one Internet site and then begin to build more affiliate sites when you start earning money from that first site. In this article we will be going over a simple way to construct affiliate websites.

A little something you will be pleased to know is that you don't need to have any experience to get started. Actually you are simply going to need to create a blog. This could sound tough but it really is very simple. You are going to of course need to get your own domain and web hosting, and that should never run you any more than $10 a month. Once you have that you can go to your c panel and you will be able to auto install your wordpress blog with a system referred to as fantasico. As soon as that is accomplished your ready to begin promoting affiliate products.

Right after your wordpress blog is set up you will simply need to find products that you can promote and earn a commission from. Clickbank is a great starting point finding these kind of items. You'll find a variety of niche products from fat loss to tattoos that you will be able to promote. Let us just say you're going into the particular weight reduction market. Now once you join Clickbank you just login to the members area and look for weight loss products which provide you with tools like banners for your website. After that collect Two or three banners from different items and add them to your website. Once you have the banners you ought to place two of these banners in the sidebar and if you can, one right beneath the header.

Now at this point comes the fun part. Each and every morning you will need to log back into clickbank and select a weight loss product. Go to the product page and go over every piece of information on that page and write a summary of the information you found there. Afterward you take this review and place it upon your blog. Towards the end of the post you really need to include your link to the product so people can go and check out the product or service. Also you want your link there so if anyone buys the program or product you will get the credit for that sale and receive a commission. When you have a little practice you can complete this in an hour or so.

The next task is to build links for all your articles or blog posts. You can do this by using social bookmarking websites. You simply join these sites and place a link directing back to your blog page. This will let you get visitors from the social bookmarking sites themselves and in addition help you get that page indexed and ranked in the various search engines.

That's it, you just made your very first affiliate website. Now that you have one website up and running, start creating more sites, maybe one a week until you have enough to keep you busy and your making the money you want to make.

The Right Online Business

noreply@blogger.com (rexdgrey) — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 00:16:00 +0000

If you need to begin a web business you need to find the appropriate opportunity and it’s a challenge. Times are difficult right now for a lot of men and women, and many people have heard that the Internet could be a good way to earn some additional money. If you can avoid all the scams online and find a good program, then yes you can make money on the Internet There are tons of other people on the internet that saw the Internet as a way to scam men and women out of their hard earned cash. They will do this by selling you programs which state they can make you money but turn out providing nothing. In this article we will explain how you can avoid these programs and find one that will be worth your time and money.

You will have to watch out for those programs that promise you thousands of dollars overnight. You know things like, "Generate $10,000 In Your First Month". These kinds of programs are just looking for ways to your money. Moreover, if I had a technique to make $10,000 per month online, I wouldn't be sharing it with anyone. Any person making ridiculous promises like this, first needs to be shot, but since that's illegal, you ought to just avoid them like the plague.

Now lets say you come across a program that says they're now able to show you how to make $100 to $200 a day. A program which makes those claims is really a reasonable type of program. Now if this very same program says that they created a software to do all your work for you ignore that program. Even though you can find software that may help you none of the software packages can do everything for you. The reality is that it takes work to create a successful web business. If anyone on the web says to you that you can just sit back and watch the dollars roll in, well that's an out and out lie.

Never believe the testimonials that you come across on their main sales page. While a number of people will be honest and only use real testimonials, many other people will just make up testimonials to help make their scam look more reputable. You may, on occasion find a program that seems to not fall into any of those categories in the list above, when that happens, before you join do a search online for that program and look for reviews. The real key here is to look for reviews from prior customers. This is a great way to avoid a scam, even if it doesn't necessarily seem like a scam.

Other ways to find out if a program is a scam could be to join Internet marketing forums. You can become a member of these forums and ask everyone if anyone has used the course and if it had been useful. You may get both negative and positive feedback, but again, ask the people who respond if they actually bought the program or if they are just going by the things they believe or have heard.

You can wind up saving a lot of money if you remember to follow the suggestions above. I absolutely do not want you to misunderstand the things I am saying, all of the programs on the web are not scams but probably a good 60% or more are, so be mindful.

Eureka!!!

noreply@blogger.com (rexdgrey) — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 03:03:00 +0000

As expressed by my post title, I've done it, I'm in. For the past days now, I've been working my way in. It was not easy due to multiple distraction inside and out. For one I've been having problems logging into WordPress admin for my new blog. The solution was to change my url site through Myphpadmin. Due to the fact that my site is still in propagation. Right now I'm currently looking for the proper plug-in for my new Rex Edition blog. Very exciting....

Not a cake walk for starters

noreply@blogger.com (rexdgrey) — Sat, 13 Nov 2010 03:18:00 +0000

After doing some few basic set-up for my new wordpress powered blog. I found out that it won't be that easy cake walk. To be honest, its mind numbing, yet I'm up for the task, only it would take longer than previously expected. Right now, I'm stuck, for a newbie with no experience with much of everything that is wordpress from Cpanel, FTP, and even as simple as downloading preferred wordpress themes. Such task seem too complicated for my brain cells to enact. Its perfectly clear that I still have millions to learn about this new setting, unlike blogger where everything is right in front of you and all you need to do is to activate one's own artistic inclinations as everything is already in front and ready to rock, basically with blogger all the dirty work is done and ironed out for the ease of use. With WordPress however everything needs to be built from domain, hosting, and everything, not to mention the dirty work it promises in entail, For newbies like yours truly, this kind of platform its mind bugling and admittedly very challenging. Yet as whats I've said before, I'm up to the task. After all having such things are a step closer to success.

Contemplating on Wordpress

noreply@blogger.com (rexdgrey) — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 06:55:00 +0000

Its coming in for a while now, I'm thinking of creating a new blog on word press. It would still bare the name Rex Edition without the added attachment. I would still be posting on this blog on a weekly basis but only a portion of it and the rest of the post, or shall I say the complete post would be on that new blog and many other things. Right now, I'm thinking of stuff to put on that blog to make it more fun and about all things informative.
Of course being new to word press poses some obvious hurdles from choosing the proper theme, domain name though I already got that one worked out, to cost effective hosting and many unexpected circumstances beyond uncontrollable imagination, At any rate I'm up for the task ahead. Estimate time of accomplishment would be around 2 to 3 weeks. I wonder how will it turn out?

Real or not

noreply@blogger.com (rexdgrey) — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 03:03:00 +0000

Sometimes we encounter things in life that defies the very nature of how we look at things, events, places, etc.... These unexplainable terms in human existence that go against reasons and even the very core of scientific probabilities, yet can only be solve by those who are actually be involve in such.

Enough of that...

I was checking out Yahoo.com for some daily dose of headlines throughout the world, one particular headline post stated "Time traveler" caught on film caught my undivided attention.

At first I said to myself, probably a new movie similar to back to the future or something, so I checked it out. To my amazement is wasn't like that at all. I was dismayed however, not on the topic, but on the slowness of the streaming process. So I logged in to my you-tube account and see what the fuzz is all about.
The film in question was taken on the premier of the movie "The Circus" one of Charlie Chaplin movies back in the year 1928. Just check out the Video.

Based on the video, I admit its weird and frankly subject to debate among aficionados, though not so important in the face of global events to say the least. Yet since I'm at this subject I decided to give it a go, and throw in a few of my own theories. though nobody really ask for it. Just for the fun of it...

Observation
Upon viewing the video I notice an old woman walking and holding something in her hand and near to her face, she appears to be talking to it or some sort. I also noticed the physical feature of the person in question, noting the size of her shoe though a bit pointy. Anyway, Comparing that to today's everyday running's in modern society, you get the impression that she's conversing with somebody on her mobile phone which is pretty much common nowadays but not her era. Though the same behavior in question is not much common here as well, from where I am that is, since mobile phone usually get pluck-out of you by unwanted personalities in society..

Anyway, For this I only have 3 crazy theories and a short bundle of down to Earth possibilities.

Theory Number 1: Time traveler
OK, that's what George Clarke was saying: But before I start anything else there is a nagging question that pop in everyone's mind, and that is, is it possible to travel through time?
Will, I'm no scientist to answer that in a more scientific manner of speaking, but a certain notable scientist seems to thing so. If memory serves me correct Albert Einstein theorized the possibility of time travel through his theory of relativity.
So do time traveler exist? in a distant future perhaps there is. If there is a mathematical solution to the enigma "Einstein's Theory" Then perhaps somebody have already done it, without us knowing it. Einstein theory may be far fetch for those of us who knew little, but you can not deny what Einstein's influence did to modern society. The possibility is there.

Theory Number 2: Aliens(what else is new)
We live in a galaxy that is pretty much uncharted. Our scientist are now beginning to discover planets that may have a high degree of probability of another intelligent life form as our technology began to speed up. And the clear point is this, if we exist, than there is a possibility that other more intelligent life exist out there in space. And may have already visited and still doing so ever since. Though apparently I never meet one.
There are those who claim that they've encountered what they think, a more intelligent life forms from outer space. Indeed this is one of the great mysteries since recorded history. Are we alone in the Universe? Even the Bible tells some weird intermingling of species. In the Book of Genesis, tells a story about angels from heaven coming down and taking women as their waives and their offspring became giants and great heroes of the past. If the woman or what it appears to be, in the video is indeed a visiting alien then that would explain her unusual size shoe and somewhat manly facial features.

Theory Number 3: Super Secret Agent
If you ever seen a James bond movie, Then this could be the real deal. like mission impossible, with all the hop-la from great espionage gadgets to unbelievable disguises. Though the person in question does have some shoe size issue not to mention the facial part. But the film crew did not notice it, until 82 years latter. Better late than never don't you think!?

OK! enough of that, lets move to a more serious down to earth theory as to the possible identity of the person in question.

Theory: Light sensitive, Complaining passerby.
My down to Earth theory is so simple, that one only need to pack it in a few sentences.

There are times when we see something that is so common to us that we can be so certain of it, even if its a mile a way or in this case a few eras back. But it does not mean were 100% correct either. For such things are subject to one's own interpretation, There are also times when we see something or in this case someone from a different time frame, we immediately associated it with our way of doing things, like talking and walking with a mobile phone in hand. For all we you the poor woman was just covering her face with a make-up kit. or a small leather notebook. The was and event after all. She could very will be part of the press covering the whole affair.

How do you explain her talking then.

That is where the "Light sensitive, Complaining passerby" comes in.

Explanation?
As I keep watching the video. I notice the shadows of the people including the person in question. First the shadow was reflected on the wall then, then on the ground, and the detail the amount of shade (darkness) in which the shadow is casts. This only indicate artificial lighting and a very bright one at that. Now I don't know much about movie making, but I know for a fact the even today movie crew use lights and plenty of it. Could that be the reason why her hand is near her face? where her hand is up against the lighting system? Note the shadow and the angle of her hands against it. Another reason why the lighting system is the culprit is angle of the shadow when it cast on the ground. The shadow is far to long, and if it was taken in the morning, that would be around 6:00 to 7:00 a.m. not wise for a premier movie time. If its on the afternoon then the shadow cast would be around 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. Anyway what ever the case the crew would still need lights and a very powerful one at that.

So my down to Earth Theory is this"

The Film crew sets up a prop, in this case the zebra. Pops-up some ridiculously powerful lighting system. which is obvious since camera in those times were not as advance as the cameras of today, like an aerial search light of sort and started shooting on the prop. Where a few people just happened to pass by. One of which is an old lady, with a small leather note pad or a little face powder box or anything common everyday thing in that era in her hand. And shielding herself from the light and complaining about it or something. Then she looks at the crew to voice her opinion or what ever. The filming on that set was stopped and switch to another location. The crew being considerate to the poor lady probably said, we'll put you on the movies or something. Or the reason why she was talking is that when she pass by she was complaining about the excessive lights and the film crew was egging her on. Like "just walk as if were not here filming you" of sort.

Needing back up

noreply@blogger.com (rexdgrey) — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 00:39:00 +0000

I've always like playing PC games, mostly RTS. And honestly I never grew tired of it despite my age. I manage to have quite a collection over the past years. From the very simple and a bit childish to the mind bugling complicated stuff. Over the years of playing this stuff, I notice a lot of things on the disk itself and it seems all worn out. Some have scratches and it badly affect my gaming, to make it worst, most of the damage disk are my favorite games.As result to this unwanted and unavoidable damages. I'm have no choice but to buy another one. Copying seems the cheap and viable alternative yet it can be very tricky, and its no good since most of this stuff are heavily protected. It seems to me making back-up for my collection seems like an impossible alternative.
Yet buying another set of the same game seems too over impractical. Since most of the stuff doesn't come cheap in this country. So I did a little browsing to solve this dilemma.

And I think found the stuff I've been looking for.

Imagine if you will, having all your games backed-up. you can used the the back-up disk until the end while keeping the original copy all tuck in nice and safe.

You'll probably ask what about the “Unbreakable Protection” each game have embedded on each game disc.
Well, all I can say is "what is that if you have this copy system" that breaks through the latest “Unbreakable Protection” easily. All you have to do is follow either the video or text tutorial and your ready to roll and start backing up your game collections.

Your question would probably be.

Does it work on all possible format?
It works for all consoles including PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, Gamecube, PSP, Nintendo DS, Playstation, PS One, PS2, Xbox, Dreamcast, and Game Boy/GameBoy Advanced! It even for PC games.

FYI "Herbs" Garlic

noreply@blogger.com (rexdgrey) — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 08:44:00 +0000

When I was a kid playing with relatives and friends was a regular thing to do. One day As I just came home from school. I heard a laud shout from My cousins house, which was a close proximity to ours. Out of curiosity I went to check what the commotion was all about. Apparently my cousin got bitten by a stray dog while playing outside their home. It was an awesome site to behold. When I got there, blood was all over the place. It was a deep bit on the leg. And for a child around 6-7 yrs. old that meant a load of cries from my poor cousin. His mother was quick to act though, after cleaning the wound she took some cloves of garlic and squeeze the juice out and applied it to the wound. Though the result was more of terror from my cousin,it seems the application of the garlic juice was more painful than the actual dog bite. Nonetheless it was first aid his mother said. After that they went to a Doctor for more medical attention. After that, all went well.

Though the application of garlic on the wound cause by the stray dog somewhat debatable on my part though I’m not a medical expert to begin with. But after seeing what had happened the only thing I said was. "Garlic?" other than food I never though of it as something medicinal, of course being at young age then, I never really give it much importance. And as it turn out Garlic does have medicinal value. Indeed from the ancient Egyptians to modern times "Garlic" have been used for religious practice, food, medicine and oddly enough folklore (against vampires and such).

Garlic (scientific name: Allium sativum) is one of the most widely used herbs of all time. It’s medicinal properties has been will known, that during World War II. Because of garlic’s antibacterial compound known as Allicin, lives were saved by preventing wounds from having infection and later develop into gangrene when the juice of garlic was applied to the wounds.

Garlic is known as nature’s antibiotic. It’s juices inhibits the growth of fungi and viruses thus prevents viral, yeast and viral infections. Several clinical test and published studies have shown the efficacy of garlic in lowering cholesterol in the blood and is beneficial to the circulatory system of the body. Today as more research is done with garlic, more medicinal and therapeutic properties become more evident.

Benefits of Garlic:

• Good for the heart
• Helps lower bad cholesterol levels (LDL)
• Aids in lowering blood pressure
• Remedy for arteriosclerosis
• May help prevent certain types of cancer
• Boosts immune system to fight infection
• With antioxidant properties
• Cough and cold remedy
• Relives sore throat, toothache
• Aids in the treatment of tuberculosis
• With anticoagulant properties

Preparation of Garlic:

• For disinfecting wound, crush and juice the garlic bulb and apply. You may cover the afflicted area with a gauze and bandage.

• For sore throat and toothache, peal the skin and chew. Swallow the juice.

• Aside from being an herbal medicine for hypertension, arteriosclerosis and other ailments, garlic is also recommended for maintaining good health - eat raw garlic bulb, and include garlic regularly in the food you eat. It’s healthy and taste good
in a variety of dishes.

Cautions

* Known adverse effects of garlic include halitosis (non-bacterial), indigestion, nausea, emesis and diarrhea.

* Garlic may interact with warfarin, antiplatelets, saquinavir, antihypertensives, Calcium channel blockers, hypoglycemic drugs, as well as other medications. Consult a health professional before taking a garlic supplement or consuming excessive amounts of garlic.

* Garlic can thin the blood similar to the effect of aspirin.

* Two outbreaks of botulism have been caused by consuming commercially produced garlic-in-oil preparations that were not properly preserved. It is especially important for home-preparation to use safe and tested food-preservation methods to retard bacterial growth, such as including sufficient salt or acidity and keeping the mixture refrigerated. It is recommended to not keep home-preparations for more than a week.

* While culinary quantities are considered safe for consumption, very high quantities of garlic and garlic supplements have been linked with an increased risk of bleeding, particularly during pregnancy and after surgery and child birth Some breastfeeding mothers have found their babies slow to feed and have noted a garlic odor coming from their baby when they have consumed garlic. The safety of garlic supplements had not been determined for children.

* The side effects of long-term garlic supplementation, if any exist, are largely unknown and no FDA-approved study has been performed. However, garlic has been consumed for several thousand years without any adverse long-term effects, suggesting that modest quantities of garlic pose, at worst, minimal risks to normal individuals. Possible side effects include gastrointestinal discomfort, sweating, dizziness, allergic reactions, bleeding, and menstrual irregularities.

* Some degree of liver toxicity has been demonstrated in rats, particularly in large quantities.

* There have been several reports of serious burns resulting from garlic being applied topically for various purposes, including naturopathic uses and acne treatment. On the basis of numerous reports of such burns, including burns to children, topical use of raw garlic, as well as insertion of raw garlic into body cavities is discouraged. In particular, topical application of raw garlic to young children is not advisable.

* Garlic and onions might be toxic to cats and dogs.

Hope this widen your knowledge about garlic. If you want to know more or would like to try it out best to consult the expert in herbal medicine and your Doctor. I'm supposed to mention the odd folklore stuff but I think it would only make a mess of things.

Slump and everything that is nothing

noreply@blogger.com (rexdgrey) — Sat, 25 Sep 2010 08:12:00 +0000

I was working on a post about something, then I found out later after re-reading it that it was to authoritative and assuming on my part. After working on it for a week I decided to delete it the whole thing and opted to post about nothing which is what this post is all about.

Its all about nothing

Being nothing is exactly being just that, yet one should look at it differently in a way, its exactly something only that it 's nothing. In a certain point of view that is. I remember, a great comedy show in the U.S. who's story evolve around four people. And the lead actor said that this show is all about "nothing".

Sometimes nothing could be something so someone else, and I leave this post to that.

Arm Chair General Reflections on the Manila hostage crisis

noreply@blogger.com (rexdgrey) — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 23:45:00 +0000

Before anything else I would just like to say, that this post is purely commentary observation on recent events that shockingly awaken the nation. I do not wish to be named an experts of such, rather only as a personal reflection on events as they happened or a least as reported. With this being said I decided to take time in posting as more information is needed to create a more accurate picture as they unfolded in the long days ahead.
To recap last Monday the 23rd of August an ex-police offer Senior Inspector R. Mendoza seized a bus, with 22 Hung-Kong tourists and three Filipinos on board, in a desperate attempt to have himself cleared of extortion and illegal detention charges that had led to him being discharged from the service. The whole affair lasted 12 hours which ended with the demised of 9 people included the hostage taker. The ordeal became a total fiasco from the outset down to the very last minutes, when it was drench with compromises after another at every turn that gave a very unfortunate conclusion for both the victims and the nation as a whole.

Where did it start.
Police in the midst of a self inflected plague, the cancer of corruption.
While everyone is focusing themselves on the tragic event itself, we tend to forget the bigger picture that led to it, not just the case that prompted the ex-police to acted idiotically but the whole police organization and indeed the entire public service structure. For many years since the Marcos dictatorship the nation's police organization has been tainted with abuses and disturbing corrupt practices that made it impotent to do its ordain constitutional mandate. Stories like political body guards, apathy, undisciplined and barely equip to do event the most simplest of policing jobs. I can even recall a time when majority of the police force were actually plague with obesity which was the very least of its problem. Majority of the populace has a very low perception about the national police ranging from abuses both social and authoritative, and as if that is not worst of things, like many other branch of government it also lack proper training, equipment and the lack of major foresight in almost everything else. Growing up I remember old folk and I myself admittedly use the phrase "ayahay pa sa polis" the phrase is use commonly to describe a person lounging about and getting paid for it. . In fairness compare to the PNP before this new generation fared a bit better though still found wanting. Even a few years back the PNP even acted somewhat perfectly in situations such as hijacking of a bus carrying school children in Manila in 2007, and the standoff at the Manila Peninsula Hotel also in 2007.

A different book altogether.
The tragic event last Monday had the same genre like many other hostage taking incident in the country except for some major details that made it a different book altogether. For one, the perpetrator has the same background training as those who are opposing him, that by itself already negates what ever tactical advantage the police had at the onset. It is also clear that there were many factors that put a seal on the tragic affair. The lack of tactical intelligence of the area of operation particular the inner working of the bus itself, the isolation of the area in question, more importantly media and crowd control, and lastly tactical and logistical readiness of the assault team.

Adding fuel to the fire.
Prior to the violence the negotiation went well until it was compromised by meddling personalities particularly the brother of the hostage taker and someone else which the hostage taker seem to be taking advice from, at the height of the crisis, as reported today in the news, aside from "brother boy bulabog" idiotic meddling, local television media also broadcast boy bulabog's resistance and subsequent arrest including interview, which was view by the hostage taker at the very comfort of the besiege bus adding fuel to the fire.

Finger pointing.
Its a common behavior of self righteous arrogance none so true as this one. The police already admitted their shortcomings of the affair yet I personally feel that their are more to consider and take account. Boy Bulabog and the mysterious adviser for one, also I feel the media should take up some responsibility of the matter as well, for over indulging itself in the pretense of responsible journalism.which I personally think centers on ratings rather than the consequence of such violent event.

As to who ever is to blame for a tragic effort an obvious conclusion is clear and changes should be made and learned by heart. The people given the task failed and that's a clear button lime Yet worst is still to come if those who have the power to influence both media and law enforcement failed to make changes on themselves. It is sad that such tragedy became a catalyst that brought light to the lingering problem in the government and it would be worst if we failed to correct it. The task now is if these people have the guts for positive and active change.Or would we still settle for " OK na yan!" attitude.

The Capacity to Learn is a gift,
The Ability to Learn is a skill,
and the Willingness to Learn is a Choice

Who is the victim
Aside from the obvious direct victims of the tragedy, I also feel that the entire nation is the victim. The victim of the egotistical idiot of Mr. R. Mendoza. And the victim of whole sale corruption.

Arm Chair General “Dune”

noreply@blogger.com (rexdgrey) — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 02:19:00 +0000

Dune II “Battle for Arrakis”

Dune II was the first ever RTS game I’d ever played and I love it. For a game of its kind, it was an eye opener for self proclaimed arm chair generals. Unlike most games like first person shooter or rule playing games which personally I find a bit boring and which in those days were very common form of gaming same as now. Dune 2 offers a more wider perspective for players, and the concept is simple yet intricate.

Game History

Dune II: Battle for Arrakis was released in 1992 by Westwood Studios. Based upon David Lynch’s 1984 movie Dune, an adaptation of Frank Herbert’s science fiction novel of the same name. Though not the first real-time strategy game, Dune II became the bases that would be followed for years to come. The use of the mouse as interface for all unit has allowed players to interact with relative ease.

Dune 2 and the RTS concept

As the game (dune 2) laid the foundation of future RTS game.It follows a simple defined concepts.

Game concept

1.Build your base & Create your Army.
2.Manage your economy & Sustain your war effort.
3.Attack your enemy & Defend yourself.
Map & Mouse interface concepts. These are the bases of all RTS games

Game Plot

Set on a futuristic time of Intergalactic Feudal Empire where“spice melange” is the most valuable substance is being cartel and the planet Arrakis being the only source of “spice melange” in the know universe. Due to its value and demand the Emperor Frederick IV of House Corrino issued a challenge to all noble houses in the empire to harvest the “ spice melange” on Arrakis. And who ever harvest the most spice controls Arrakis
with no set of boundaries and no rules of engagements.

Armies began to arrived on Arrakis among them 3 of the most the most powerful houses all battle for supremacy.

Game Play

As a player you will take the role of a commander of one of the 3 houses of your choice. Each house has it’s own distinct characteristics which also dictate how the game is handled. The objective is to occupy as many territories and conquer other territories occupied by rivals houses. To accomplish this objective the commander (you) going to build and create base and facilities of operation. Starting of with the basic
structure/unit the “construction yard/vehicle”. From there the player expanse his/her base by harvesting spice.The more spice harvested the faster the construction of other vital facilities. A player also invest on raising an army for defense and attack. The game initially starts with a fog of war covering all area which is not covered by the player’s units range of view. As the units explore the map, the darkness or fog is removed. In
addition to enemy incursions, there are other dangers like the marauding and gigantic sandworm,
capable of swallowing vehicles and infantry whole but only capable of moving through sand. The player
can only build on rocky terrain, but must build concrete foundations (slabs) to avoid deterioration of the structures due to the harsh weather conditions although in general, structures
will gradually decay over time regardless of the presence of those concrete slabs due to the aforesaid
weather conditions. Spice fields are indicated by orange coloration on the sand, darker orange indicating
high concentration. Some spice may be concealed as bumps on the terrain (a ’pre-spice mass’) that become
spice fields when they are shot at, or when a unit runs over them (destroying the unit in the ensuing
’spice blow’).

Dune 2000

After the success of dune 2 Westwood studios release an updated version of the game. It basically means better graphics and everything. Though as good as red alert 2 I can grade it as somewhat disappointment.

My Thoughts

Dune 2 is the very first RTS game I’ve ever played, and it totally blow me away. As a kid growing up playing
with soldiers and massively building armies, it appealed to me instinctively. The early dune 2 and its subsequent update Dune 2000 put players like myself wanting for more RTS. And I never look at any other type of game ever since. The only disappointing factor is the graphic design of the latter update Dune 2000. For an update of the original Dune 2 unit graphic didn’t change much, soldiers and storm trooper didn’t change at all in size or in any form.

Click link Dune 2 Click link Dune 2000

For Dune fans the update Dune 2000 was a huge welcome though, I'm sure there was a huge cloud of disappointment in graphics end. But for RTS fan like myself it was as good as it get, by the time got my hands on Dune 2000, I was already playing StarCraft including its expansion StarCraft Brood War from game developer Blezzard. Though WestWood came with a similar graphic format as that of blizzard by its release of Red Alert 2. But it would have been nice if that same unit graphics was use on Dune 2000.

Nevertheless the dune 2 and its update dune 2000 did well. And enjoyed it very much I'm also looking forward to play Dune Emperor which is promising. I still need to get my hands on it though.

Safety Showers, When it's cool to be safe

noreply@blogger.com (rexdgrey) — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 07:10:00 +0000

On a hot day, when we wake up early in the morning, after a heavy sweat drench work at the site, after a game or just doing for the love of it. From a simple splash of water on the face to a bucket of water or a dip in a tub. Bathing and/or washing is probably one of the oldest known routine mankind ever though of. Indeed since ancient times bathing and/or washing has been a celebrated fact. Just ask the ancient Romans whose custom of bathing and such goes beyond being clean and fresh.

And through out history this simple routine is as best as the the equipment it utilized no matter what the purpose it was intended for. Even holy books like the Bible contains several passages concerning bathing and
washing.

In Modern society bathing and such has gone further than just personal hygiene for social interaction or perhaps recreation (like the Romans just to name a few) or for religious practice. Now it has also become a mater of safety at work, at school or any place possible. Try to imagine oneself working with bio-hazard area, Chemical factories, Laboratories or even construction sites were harmful chemicals and/or materials can be a threat to your personal welfare (health). Now that's something you don't want to bring home. How About a foreign object in your eye, that hurts. In situations when we need to remove it off and fast, equipments like Emergency Eye Baths
could be very handy.

The simple solution is going back to basic routine, that is bathing or washing. After all, that's what is for being clean. Right?. But to achieved this feat requires special equipment specially built for such eventuality. A company base in Europe has that solution, and they've been doing it for past 40 years.

Forget about your ordinary everyday garden hose.

These guys offer the best equipment for the job in every possible situation in and out of the field. From Eye Baths,
Outdoor Safety Showers, Decontamination Equipment and much more. A world leaders on safety shower. Hughes Safety Showers pride itself for delivering high quality safety showers with after sales services to more than 60 countries for 40 years.

Employing mankind classic routine with cutting edge technology and service to save lives. Hughes Safety Showers, when it's cool to be safe...

So it begins, the same old tune

noreply@blogger.com (rexdgrey) — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 02:45:00 +0000

The beginning of a new and the end of the old, for the Republic of the Philippines. As the new leadership of the country takes the helm of the presidency, one is now free to hope for the better or is it? one should also be more realistic as not to expect anything from it, contrasting though it may seems this what compel most if not myself alone. Roughly many years past since I last heard such words of great hope, yet here we are a country overwhelmingly burden by its own leaders. Amazingly the nation was patient enough to bare such a burden. Probably because we've been through worst or it could have been worst or maybe because there was no alternative and that the opposite bares the same stink as those who are in power. Confused and utterly bewildered the nation move on.

PNoy short for President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III is the 15th elected President of the Republic. Of all the strangest thing in Philippines politics this surely hit the amazing coincidental list. For one it takes a certain demise of a family member, Aquino that is, to be elected to the high post as President. That is not something intended of course, it just happened. It was the gruesome death of his father that catapulted his mother Cory Aquino as the 11th President of the Philippine Republic. And oddly enough is was the death of his Iconic mother last year that rocketed Noy now PNoy to be 15th President of the Philippines. And as though fate takes a funny twist both mother and son inherited a very unpopular government and a country economically stagnated, socially impoverish and not to mention a nation overwhelmed by corrupt leadership and government employees. Both administrations is seen as a new hope and a new beginning, though its also best to note that during Pres. Cory Aquino 6 year term of office the country was in turmoil from Communist rebs, Muslim separatist and small terror groups from the previous dictatorship, coup attempts, mega natural disasters, mind numbing record breaking accidents and before she steps down from office she left behind for her predecessor a parting gift know as the black-out year when the entire country was subject to massive black-outs. Despite all these she held her ground and weather it all in faith and kept democracy alive. Simply put her term was never a walk in the park and she failed on her goal to rid the country of corruption and weakened the countries defensive stature. As for Pnoy his been in office barely a week and its to early to say anything. I do hope it won't be the same as his mother time in office, that would be too nostalgically weird and disturbing.

It has been days since the inauguration of the newly elected leader of the republic and he has a lot of bones to pick with the previous administration so to speak judging by his inaugural speech. As to any changes made on the first few days, there were many obviously, as to the effects of these changes to population at hand only time can tell. Certainly there were some notable few, one of which is the illegal use of sirens. Though one might think that this is the least of all problems, yet one should start some where I'd say, why not start with this simple common abuse of usage. In the Philippines its a common practice for high headed dirty arrogant politicians and family, business personalities, rich kid who think the world revolve on them alone and at times even ordinary citizen to use sirens to ease their transportation headaches at the expense of others. I myself have seen this abuse that undermine traffic discipline. At the inauguration day the president opted not to use sirens though by law he is allowed for obvious security reasons. Talk about setting and example anyway, he was 40 minutes late at the turn over ceremony for the new AFP chief of staff and I doubt that to be his last. Radio commentators have been riding the tide either for or against the new administration, so far majority of which echoed positive sentiments, as to how long that would last no one knows.

As I listen to the inauguration speech, one thing came to mine and that is the "same old tune" as before. Then again its always a wait and see scenario.

Cool Stuff to think about

noreply@blogger.com (rexdgrey) — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 05:37:00 +0000

I was checking out Youtube just a few minute ago and found something interesting...

One could hardly Imagine what the world would be like anymore. Seem as we progress some if not the majority would be left behind. What would be the implications of such advancement to society?

Cellphone as a new business media

noreply@blogger.com (rexdgrey) — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 04:07:00 +0000

In modern society no other product use that is more relevant and iconic as that of a cellphone. The number of cellphone user has skyrocketed every year and expected to exceed marks this years. Today cellphone has grown increasingly in sophistication and coverage. And now we begin to see integration of technologies, it is safe to speculate that in the near future your everyday and common cellphone will have features from TV, satellite access, Internet, and extreme desktop capabilities. In the U.S. alone there are more cellphone users than those who actually own a PC or Mac. This not so new platform of communication will be unrivaled since the invention of TV or radio or print media.

As a marketeer what does this mean to you?

The answer is basic and universal, and that is "opportunity unparalleled"

Think of it this way, Every known media TV, Radio, Print, internet are make money through ads or some sort. Think about hundreds of millions of cellphone users receiving your message. Impossible? No its not.

OK! now you might be wondering if I'm talking about setting up your own company and everything costing you millions. Again the answer is "NO" On the contrary what you are about to tell is to make money on your own without building any company in any shape or form, exactly the opposite with income as the after effect.

And here's how its done.

Remember that one form of failure is denying the obvious possibilities

Things that I can relate too, Remembering the times

noreply@blogger.com (rexdgrey) — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 13:40:00 +0000

When ever I watch something like TV shows, movies or in this case Japanese animation, such event are more of a pass time pretty much so like everyone else I'm sure, for me its like any other forms of entertainment, something to kill time so to speak and nothing more. But sometimes and very rarely in my case, that I encounter a show that I can fully relate to. A show that reminded me of what I was before and what influence me even now, and what became part of me, that something I will never forget as long as I live.

When I was young I always have weird wild fantasy of being in a band, like when your listening to your favorite music you sometime get the thought of yourself performing the act and at times in front of the mirror or whatever, I was no different. I remember it as if it was yesterday, back then I'll be left alone in the house during weekend. Then I'd get the broom or my sister's badminton rocket, get my collection of tapes and then rock the joint. Think about it now, it sure was an odd thing to do to kill time. That was my habit from elementary to high school though, it kind of evolve since then so to speak. Anyways, back then imagining myself performing in front of many people was just what it was "imagination" and nothing more. And I never even thought not in a million years that it would actually happen, an in a span of few months during my junior days in high school, that I became a part of and played with a band. I was 15 then, and it was fun.

Something I can relate to, K-On and Me

A few weeks back I started watching the Japanese animation show titled K-on. Its a story about four high school girls trying to sustain their school’s light music club despite one member being unable to read music or play musical instruments. At first I wasn't really sure if Id like to watch it, as I taught it to be more of a feminine/loli type kind of stuff written all over it, but I was wrong. Actually its a nice Anime, the characters are all female, the story line is great, and oddly enough one that I can actually relate to. Now I'm at the 6th episode of the animated series and looking forward to the next episode.

My Story

The Band that was, Looking back

It all started during my junior years in high school, and honestly prior to that, the totality of my musical experience was limited to brooms and badminton rockets or any wooden stick that serve as my dream guitar. Though there were a few musical instruments at home from my father's old harmonica (I wonder where that went) to a full pledge electronic keyboard. I on the other hand never bother to learn to play any of it. For some reason my interest on such things was high in a first day only to be hit dead low in the next. In other words I was too lazy and the stuff was too complicated so I thought. All my brothers and my sister taught them selves how to play those stuff and teaching a sibling is definitely not in the family rule book.

But, for some reason I ended up being in a band. quite a feat, if you think about it.

Was it destiny?

I doubt that very much, its more like a freaking accident. Anyway, As far as I could remember I was just setting by my desk doing about my own business when I overheard 3 of my classmates discussing something, was I eavesdropping? Nope, one could hear anything if its less than a foot away, by the way all three have musical background one way or the other. Like the lead guitarist (name GJ) is a second generation guitar player and his elder brother is already in a band, the rhythm and vocals (name AC) played guitar since elementary, same goes with the bassist (name RS), the drummer from another class (name RE) was also a second generation drum player. Me on the other hand...never-mind...

Though there were some in my family who actually played musical instruments including the guitar. But one can't seriously count that as a requirement. I think "hardly" is the proper word for it. Anyway, playing musical instruments in my family was just for killing time, and time is a priceless commodity at home.

Back to the to the main story

I was seated just a foot apart from those guys when I heard them saying they need a somebody to play the keyboards. I was looking at them when GJ ask me a question.

Do you know anyone who can play the keyboard?

I answered... nope But we do have a keyboard at home. A stupid answer to a serious question now that I think about it.

The three look at each other and smiled.

GJ and AC said to me would you like to join us.

I thought are you serious???

And for some stupid reason that I can't recall I said "sure" in the end.

Anyway our first practiced session was a complete mess. In my part I can only play on the left side of the keyboard since the chords were as clear as day virtually sticking out at the top of every left key, and I can only play one key at a time LOL, good thing the song was a simple piece, and I miraculously manage to be at tune with the rest. The real problem to their point of view and to my utter relief was the bassist, his timing was a bit off so was the drummer. I think it was from the excitement and everything. Anyway I was just totally kept myself silent during the proceeding, as I don't want them to notice my off the shelf just played today keyboard thing.

After a few hours of the sessions I ended up as the lead vocalist. Coz as it turn out the rhythm and vocals (AC) who was supposed to be the front act was all love song 50's to 70's era fan with a born again Christian background that finds Elvis to be a complete blasphemy. And could not or would not want to relate to any of the piece must of the members wanted disparately to play. While most of us were thinking the latest in like bon-jovi, guns n roses, etc... he was some place else, anyway we all had fun. As time passed by there were few changes within the band AC throw down the towel as will as RS then RH also a classmate came in as the new bassist in a four man band, we practice hard and I usually messed up most of the time, I was thankful for their patience and as always it was all for fun. We even played in a local concert for the first time during that summer and we did two cover songs.

Honestly, just thinking about it, was a bit embarrassing...

I actually messed up the first few seconds of the first song. I didn't forget the lyrics I just sang ahead of everyone else. Embarrassing huh? Anyway, I manage to correct it and actually finish the first piece
perfectly I also aced the second piece. We practiced for a few months but there was already something brewing between my parents and me. Sadly a few months after that I throw in the towel in a time when
were already in a roll and schedule to perform in few days time. Both of my parents particularly my father got a lot to do about it, they weren't really very supportive about it to begin with. But, since they were paying the bills, I guess I got no choice and left the band unwillingly. I played with the guys for almost a year and sadly left when thing started to move.

After that a new school year came, the band slowly and surely disintegrated, for reasons I don't know a feud erupted between the drummer and the rest of the band, A week before a appearing on a concert so he got kick out. That was a few short months after I left the band. I was shock to learn about it when the drummer (RE) approach me to ask a favor. He ask me to ask the guys to allow him to come up stage and perform. It got something to do with his girlfriend or something. Anyway, I was always in good terms with everyone though, I know how disappointed they were about me living the band. Anyway, I did what the RE ask and got him to perform unstage using an unplugged electric guitar. A friend of mine who attended the concert said that RE dance, jump and held that guitar up high even though it wasn't plug on to anything. I wonder if it fooled his girlfriend or the whole audience. Will at least he got his wish. They got a new vocalist though replacing my slot but that was after that said concert. And a few months before graduation RH the bass guitar player quit the band. The band continued on after a while with only GJ on lead guitar and ED as front man reinforce by GJ's brother and cousin whose band was disbanded a few years back. They got some gig in the local music sine but no major stuff. They did join a band contest and ended third, I was there to give support, that was my last involvement with the band by then I was already in college.

Last I heard everybody parted ways. "They all got married" hehehehe....

After I left the band I started teaching myself how to play the guitar. I find it a bit silly sometimes. While I was in the band I never took the time to learn how to play, only after living the band I started learning how to play the guitar by myself of course. Anyway I probably rate myself as fair if not average guitar player. I also had a chance to perform on stage in a local party about 200 people, were I sang 8 songs which also was my last performance, it was like a jamming session with lots of people watching. I still play the guitar every now and then just to kill time, and I still have that infamous keyboard, though I really don't know how to play the darn thing. And I'm planning to buy an electric guitar when I'm financial capable, a sort of personal gift for myself. I've owned 3 acoustic guitar only one manage to survive the ravage of time. Not really my fault though.

My guitar

I never regretted joining the band despite the my obvious lack of experience and everything there of. And though it was a great sorrow to depart in the end, yet I learn a lot from it. And as that chapter in my life close new once are written in an instant.

relate to K-On

As I watch episode after episode on K-On it brings back memories. The jamming session are all became carved in stone within me. It was a time when everything was possible the smile, the laughter the fun even the hardships all became vivid even to this day and on many days to come. And I'm sure anyone with the same
experience as I have would agree to it with all certainty.

It's something one can never forget as long as one can live.

Whats the fuss in earning a living on-line

noreply@blogger.com (rexdgrey) — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 12:33:00 +0000

What does it take to earn a living in the internet? For those who failed, for those who want to earn(Advertising phrase) and for those who just want to know how. This is a question ask by everyone and answered in different ways by individuals concerned. So, what ever shoes your in, there is no doubt that you'll need to address the question at hand to achieve great success on-line and it start with you, your website, product or service and finally traffic and plenty of it, of course in reference to website either its your own or someone else. Whatever type of website your using to make money on, both has its own pros and cons, depending on the number of website your actually maintaining. Let say for example your promoting a certain site (not your own) and want to expand your business other than the previews, then you'll have another sites to promote on-line, obviously dividing your time and efforts for both sites, and as new opportunities comes along, maintaining these sites will certainly be tedious to down right impossible. If your concentrating on just one business which is totally fine except that your missing out on other opportunities that may turn out to be a great prospect. Of course this is a great issue among marketeers specially those lacking success and more prone to failures. On the other hand, successful marketeers solve this dilemma through integration of sites or through multitasking, what marketeers usually do is to create a site for all their on-line business, sort of a hub where visitor can view products and services being offered, useful tips and other information etc. I've been in the on-line home business for 5 years "wait" that doesn't main I'm a guru on the contrary I'm just a humble marketeer doing an honest living on the net. What I'm trying to say is that, I've seen many ups and down for myself and from others, I've tried lots of ways, I've also seen lots of business offers that promises easy short cuts to success by skipping the basic steps behind, like being hurled by a catapult and ended up overshooting itself to virtual nil. I'm sure you've heard the phrase "ladders to success" but this is totally important if you wish to engage in on-line enterprise or you might already be into it.

So back to the Question, What does it take to earn a living on the net?

Allow me to break the answer gently.

It starts with you.

Yes, in the grand scheme of things that is on-line money making, everything start and ends with you what ever the outcome is, hence the question. What does it take to earn a living on the net? oddly enough the answer to this question is the result of your actions be it good or bad. Are you motivated enough to go through the competition and try to end up at the top of the game. Most marketeer sadly falls to the count the chick before it hatch category which explain the 95% failure rate. The only tips I can give you is to find your motivation, set your goal, be patience, persevere and most of all give your self the biggest help by doing some work and research on how to improve your business instead of waiting to be spoon feed like a baby by your up-line who like you is more likely doing the very same thing as what your hoping for. Have you ever fallen on the catch phrase fast or easy or instant money? Although there are companies that do delivers what they promise, they use this phrase mainly to make a sales obviously. And oddly enough adding you in the equation in advance as if you have already succeeded, nothing wrong with that though. The problem begin with the person itself, My point is if you want to earn be creative.
Note. There are just as many drop-out from legitimate on-line businesses as those who were actually being scammed.

The second step, Product and service.

One can't really do any business if one has nothing to offer, now that goes without saying. Of all the steps to be taken by far this is the easiest, but for others this seems to be the most difficult for some reason, which often results to skepticism. What most people tend to forget is that the internet is largely devoted to commerce plain point and simple. There are companies, individuals, groups or whatever, that are more than willing to have you help them make sales and gladly share that sale with you, and that's a fact. From Google to ebay, from affiliate market site to domain names, its virtually all over the net just look out for scammers.

Third step "My Website" SRW, blogs and specialized website.

In On-line Enterprising a website is a required must. Most on-line business companies and affiliate programs offer SRW or Self Replicating Website to its members, to cut the hassle time of actually building one yourself. They do work wonders to an extent, and usually use in direct prospecting like email advertising and such rather than the use of search engine ranking though optimization or directories which is possible to a degree. But what most successful on-line entrepreneur aside from using their own SRW sites is to actually creating their own website, a blog or a specialized site. Unlike SRW, blogs and specialized website can easily employ SEO technique because of it's uniqueness among many other reasons. My point to this is that, Unlike SRW site the flexibility it creates and the opportunity it provide can certainly bring for yourself a torrent of income that is virtually unparalleled.

Of course not all of us are bless with brains to whip up a great website in an instant nor has everyone have all the time in the world to create such an internet masterpiece. It takes time effort and at times even monetary resources, though there are free site builders which one can employ on their business. Yet there are also classier ones, which are actually business ready website builder. Which are more eye catching and more prone to sales than what free site builder can offer.

Like this one for instance

I find this site builder to be a no brainer, you simply can't go wrong with it not to mention a seal of money back guarantee.

Final Step to success "website traffic"

Whats the use of having a great website if no one is visiting. If you read the first line carefully then you'll understand the importance of web traffic. Traffic is everything for a website and poor traffic is one of the reason why on-line home business is somewhat a difficult undertaking. But for those who funnel massive traffic to there website its a moment of utmost eureka.
So, how do we build traffic for our website. Here are some of the methods in how to get massive traffic for your site and I've listed five.

Advertising
Like many methods which I'm about to mention, this a bit tricky not to mention it actual cost much depending where you place your ads campaign and that is the tricky part. There are plenty of advertising site that fits your budget. The trick to this is to know your niche and how your ads are delivered by the advertising firm. Otherwise you'll be wasting your time and resources on a fruitless endeavor.

SEO Search Engine Optimization
This method simply put is to have your website listed at the first page of search engine results. This is done through specific keyword of your niche that is being optimized including back-links which determines the popularity of your website. There are lots of way in optimizing your site including programs and companies that do the optimizing for you. What ever the case may be Search Engine Optimization can insure your success if done properly.

Social Media, Social Networks and Social Bookmarking
Having your site listed to this high rank sites can increase your website reputation not to mention the exposure it gives to your site. Of course this depends largely on the number of people you are connected to. With this method you can sum it up with the more the merrier category.

Traffic Exchange
Basically traffic exchange means view my site and I'll view yours in turn. This can ultimately increase your traffic but it does not actually spell success that is money in your pocket. The reason behind this is that, all those who join traffic exchange like yourself want to make money or gain some degree of site visits, obviously like yourself they don't want to spend money on something you and they ironically have, referring to offers or business opportunity which is often found in traffic exchange sites, hence the poor quality of visitors to your site. Though from time to time there may be some degree of good results from such exchange sites, but that depends on the quality, niche and what your site is actually offering beating the competition.

Email Advertising
Of all the methods I've discuss so far this one can put you behind bars. But I'm not gonna tell you how to put yourself on that predicament so don't worry. This tricky method requires usually a landing page or catch page or whatever that has an email and name subscription form, in which the victim (just kidding) put his/her name and email address which in turn goes to an email responder, and then let the email advertisement bombardment begin. Many of these site offers information or some sort of leverage or what ever that entices prospect to type in there name and email. This is just one of the ways to do email advertising or at least the first step leading to email advertising. Like I mention before (the behind the bars consequence) this method has plenty of rules to follow or else the consequence, unless your living outside the western hemisphere like Africa for instance.

Success in done by steps, each steps an effort. So study it and do it properly.
