The Bureau of Labor Statistics provides this data monthly via <a href="http://www.bls.gov/cpi/" target="_blank">Consumer Price Index</a> (CPI).</p> <p>Why they have to provide it in an equal-spaced text file over a plain CSV or a spreadsheet still confuses me, but at least they publish the data regularly, which is more than I can say for other government departments. I originally wanted to see how obesity rates have changed over the past year, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) hasn't updated <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/index.html" target="_blank">obesity trend data</a> since 2009.</p> <p>In any case, price changes alone are still interesting. Relative to overall inflation (2.7 percent), transportation prices increased the most by far, at plus 9.8 percent. The cost of gasoline alone went up 27.5 percent.</p> <p>Education also took a hit, going up 4.0 percent. Meanwhile, the cost of apparel and technology went down this past year by 0.6 and 1.4 percent, respectively. Having a baby? Now might be good time to buy some onesies.</p> </p> <p><a href="http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/what-costs-more-in-2011">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/what-costs-more-in-2011#comment">Leave a comment  »</a> </p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/o1JHVnFR2a1Rc7MPVuxPiI1wVbg/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/o1JHVnFR2a1Rc7MPVuxPiI1wVbg/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/o1JHVnFR2a1Rc7MPVuxPiI1wVbg/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/o1JHVnFR2a1Rc7MPVuxPiI1wVbg/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/1168028/54.jpg http://posterous.com/users/4afFSEZdUBxv Abdessamad Aouad DotComExpert Abdessamad Aouad Sat, 30 Apr 2011 11:28:29 -0700 Arab music http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/arab-music http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/arab-music <p> <div class='p_embed p_audio_embed'> <a href="http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/arab-music"><img alt="" src="http://posterous.com/images/filetypes/mp3.png" /></a> <div class='p_embed_description'> <span class='p_id3'>MBC2 - April 06 22 12 07.mp3</span> <a href="http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/arab-music">Listen on Posterous</a> </div> </div> <p></p><div><b>For my friends</b><br /></div> </p> <p><a href="http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/arab-music">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/arab-music#comment">Leave a comment  »</a> </p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/WMxMjsdBJbw8d-naEFi0-veEo5o/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/WMxMjsdBJbw8d-naEFi0-veEo5o/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/WMxMjsdBJbw8d-naEFi0-veEo5o/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/WMxMjsdBJbw8d-naEFi0-veEo5o/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/1168028/54.jpg http://posterous.com/users/4afFSEZdUBxv Abdessamad Aouad DotComExpert Abdessamad Aouad - Mon, 06 Sep 2010 04:08:00 -0700 Unlock the secret to visibility on Search Engines and online Directories http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/unlock-the-secret-to-visibility-on-search-eng http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/unlock-the-secret-to-visibility-on-search-eng <p> <p><object height="385" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/U6p4XKGF7IY?fs=1&hl=en_GB" /></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /></param><embed allowfullscreen="true" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/U6p4XKGF7IY?fs=1&hl=en_GB" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="385" width="480"></embed></object></p> </p> <p><a href="http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/unlock-the-secret-to-visibility-on-search-eng">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/unlock-the-secret-to-visibility-on-search-eng#comment">Leave a comment  »</a> </p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QrlDGXkNo7s0WPe9ifoglPJOWl8/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QrlDGXkNo7s0WPe9ifoglPJOWl8/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QrlDGXkNo7s0WPe9ifoglPJOWl8/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QrlDGXkNo7s0WPe9ifoglPJOWl8/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/1168028/54.jpg http://posterous.com/users/4afFSEZdUBxv Abdessamad Aouad DotComExpert Abdessamad Aouad Tue, 24 Aug 2010 20:40:00 -0700 How to Write a Chrome Extension in Two Easy Steps http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/how-to-write-a-chrome-extension-in-two-easy-s http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/how-to-write-a-chrome-extension-in-two-easy-s <p> <p>i will show you on This tutorial how to creating a simple extension.

This is because the provider’s income comes from listeners and not from advertisers. Satellite radio services offer around 70 programs of commercial fee music channels each and you have a great variety of choices, from mainstream rock, hip-hop and dance music to folk music, opera, blues and many more. <br /> Another great thing about satellite radio is the absence of static. You can be driving from the West Coast to the East Coast in the United States of America and you will not get any static at all on the way. The satellite radio signal is digital, which means that you will get crystal-clear sound wherever you go. <p /> Satellite radio tuners receive, along with the actual radio programs, an influx of metadata that consists of information regarding song title, artist, radio program and radio channel. This means that your satellite radio receiver will display all the necessary information about what you are listening to. For instance, if you hear a great song and you want to know which artist sings it, you just look at the receiver‘s display. <br /> All satellite radio programs are uncensored. This is one of the reasons why artists like Howard Stern chose to move their shows on satellite radio. You can also listen to your favorite hip-hop songs without the interruption of those annoying ‘beep’ sounds. <br /> Satellite radio programs also offer information about local traffic and weather conditions. The information is very detailed especially for those who live in big cities. If there is a major national calamity and other terrestrial radio stations will not work, you can always count on getting accurate information from satellite radio program. You can also listen to satellite radio online on your computer. <p /> If you still are not convinced on why you should pay money for something that you can get for free, think about how much time you have wasted listening to commercials and all kinds of other boring stuff on terrestrial radio programs. Traditional radio is not free, despite the popular belief. It is time-consuming and irritating because you have to listen to five minutes or more of commercials so that you can finally hear a song you like. The satellite radio subscriptions are very affordable and, for around 13 dollars per month, you get exactly the programs you want, which you can listen to wherever you are, at the best sound quality. <p /> Satellite radio is great for you especially if you travel a lot. If you are traveling across the United States of America, for example, you can listen to the channel or channels you want during your whole trip, without losing signal or getting static. If you have a traditional radio, you will have to keep changing channels every hundred miles, but if you are using satellite radio you do not have to do that because the geographically availability of programs is not a problem. Satellite radio subscribers will soon get the chance to watch video programs as well. Both Sirius and XM services have announced their intention of introducing in the near future a variety of video satellite channels that will have some of the great advantages that are currently available to satellite radio: commercial free programs, great quality of sound and vast geographical availability. </p> <p><a href="http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/the-advantages-of-satellite-radio">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/the-advantages-of-satellite-radio#comment">Leave a comment  »</a> </p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/GdxzzYn3fKy6XjyKcAUwlWjGikM/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/GdxzzYn3fKy6XjyKcAUwlWjGikM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/GdxzzYn3fKy6XjyKcAUwlWjGikM/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/GdxzzYn3fKy6XjyKcAUwlWjGikM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/1168028/54.jpg http://posterous.com/users/4afFSEZdUBxv Abdessamad Aouad DotComExpert Abdessamad Aouad Sun, 08 Aug 2010 10:53:26 -0700 Blogging: Free Internet Marketing Method http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/blogging-free-internet-marketing-method http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/blogging-free-internet-marketing-method <p> <b>It's been years since blogging has been practiced.

When making a YouTube video, it is important to remember that YouTube doesn’t limit the number of videos you can submit, but all videos must be ten minutes or less, if you have a traditional YouTube membership account.  Therefore, if you want to have videos be longer than ten minutes, you either need to upgrade your account or make your videos in different segments. <p />When making your YouTube video, you will want to make sure that the quality is good.  For this, it is a good idea to speak directly into the camera or else use raised voices.  This will help to ensure that those watching your videos on YouTube can actually understand what you are saying.  It is also advised that you make sure the lighting is good.  The best time to make movies is during the day.  If you want to make your movies at night, whether they take place inside or outdoors, you will want to make sure that you have the appropriate amount of lighting.  Nothing is worse that watching a video that is hard to see.<p />Although there are a number of steps, like the ones mentioned above, which you can take to ensure that your YouTube videos are quality ones, there is a way that you can fix problems later on. You can do this with movie editing software.  Moving editing software allows you to preview and edit your videos, should you wish to do so before uploading them to YouTube.  If you have a relatively new computer, you should be able to find movie editing software already on your computer.  If you are unable to find movie editing software, you should be able to get free software programs or even purchase deluxe software programs online or from one of your local media stores.  <p />The decision as to whether or not you want to edit your videos, before sharing them on YouTube, is yours to make, but it is advised that you at least look into doing so, especially if your computer already has a movie editing program.  You will want to watch your movies and see if there is anything that you would like to edit, change, or remove.  If so, the time to do it is before you post your video on the YouTube website.  Editing your YouTube videos or at least previewing them first is likely to improve their quality, which, in turn, will help to improve the exposure that your YouTube videos get.  Many YouTube members share videos that they find interesting with those that they know and your videos may be one of them.</p> </p> <p><a href="http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/how-to-make-a-youtube-video">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/how-to-make-a-youtube-video#comment">Leave a comment  »</a> </p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/W0XWpEbhAvMgJkh31SoIQbsO5MY/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/W0XWpEbhAvMgJkh31SoIQbsO5MY/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/W0XWpEbhAvMgJkh31SoIQbsO5MY/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/W0XWpEbhAvMgJkh31SoIQbsO5MY/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/1168028/54.jpg http://posterous.com/users/4afFSEZdUBxv Abdessamad Aouad DotComExpert Abdessamad Aouad Sat, 07 Aug 2010 07:18:00 -0700 Adsense earnings for one day http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/adsense-eranings-for-one-day http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/adsense-eranings-for-one-day <p> <p><embed allowfullscreen="true" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/La3VPOPoOSE&hl=en_GB&fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="385" width="480"></embed></p> <p> </p> <p>try it : <a href="http://bit.ly/autobloggingsoftwaredemo">http://bit.ly/autobloggingsoftwaredemo</a> And This Happens Completely On Auto-Pilot, Month after Month..

Online Forums are very interactive web pages that allow you as a registered user to read, interact and participate in discussions about a certain topic of interest.You would do everything you can to participate in as many discussions as you can about your favorite topic, wouldn’t you?</strong></span><p /><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>The reason is because with these ‘discussion groups’, you realize that this is your opportunity to learn as much as you can from these people in the shortest amount of time! and more importantly, you can establish your credibility as an authority on your chosen topic!</strong></span><p /><span style="color: #000000;"><strong></strong></span><br /><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <img alt="Networking-image" height="334" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2010-06-27/JpcpcrcocujGqBpygJeaAJiwHvFBfAyCktvsFvrpnHeenIIhBeoIdujpFmit/networking-image.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="500" /> </div> <span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Forum Etiquette - Every forum has its own set of rules. It is your duty as a member to find out what is acceptable and what is not. This can include how to set up your signature. Do they allow links? If so how many? How long can your signature be? Some forums do not allow you to post links that are of certain type of nature. This can include links to porn sites, gambling sites or even affiliate links. What is the general subject matter of the forum? If using a Homeworker Ideas forum for instance, don't post things that are off topic unless they have a specific thread for that. There are forums that do not allow discussions of a political nature or discussion of religious topics. Even others discourage talking about specific products and companies.</strong></span></p> <p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong></strong></span><br /><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>The bottom line is that each forum is different and if you are to be an outstanding member, you have to play by the rules. If you don't, you might get slapped and even publicly humiliated. That doesn't amount to good marketing.</strong></span><p /><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>In conclusion, the best way to market yourself in a forum is to not really market yourself at all but rather to be a consistent member that contributes quality and substance to the community. When your motive is to help others, contribute good content and become an integral part of a community, you end up marketing yourself without even trying.</strong></span><p /><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>When you start participating in various forums, you’ll notice the various Signature Boxes on the bottom of the majority of the comments posted by forum members. You’ll also notice that after you read a member posting that intrigues you, you’ll find yourself clicking on the link of that particular member’s signature.</strong></span><p /><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Just like that, you just created a click through to that particular member’s website!</strong></span><p /><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>When you simply register for your first online forum, the VERY FIRST THING you should do is create your ‘Signature’. As mentioned in the section above, a Signature is basically what is used at the end of email messages to give your recipient that ‘feeling of credibility’ about you. However the SAME THING could be accomplished by adding that signature at the end of EVERY SINGLE ONE of your forum posts.</strong></span><p /><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>This is one of MANY times you’re going to hear me teach you about the importance of your CREDIBILITY when marketing your product or service online.</strong></span><p /><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Your first major accomplishment as an Internet Marketer is to first ESTABLISH your credibility. As you are well aware, the Internet is enormous – and being able to establish even a small amount of credibility is a major complishment, and COMPLETELY doable! Do everything you can to use Online Forums as your first step in establishing your online credibility! Why not, it’s free! Warning!</strong></span><p /><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Forums are VERY interactive in nature, with back-and-forth replying from just ONE particular post lasting for weeks and months at a time! You should post as frequently as possible: 2-3 times a week in as many as 5 different forums.</strong></span><p /><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Try not to spend a tremendous amount of time on the forums. Just simply log in, locate your prior posts to check out any possible responses, respond if necessary, then go ahead submit your NEW POST, maybe read a few other members’ posts, then LOG OUT!</strong></span><p /><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Forums could be VERY ADDICTIVE if you let them effect you in that way. Millions of other forum members around the world find themselves investing TOO MUCH TIME in forums. So don’t forget the reason why you are a forum member - that is to learn as much as you can, and DRIVE TARGETED TRAFFIC to YOUR WEBSITE! Another reason why you want to be careful in forums is because, depending on the forum, it may be a case of ‘the blind leading the blind’. You’ll notice that the MOST SUCCESSFUL internet marketers may not even exist in the forums anymore because of this.</strong></span><p /><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Just to remind you, When you are just starting your internet marketing career, establishing your positive professional credibility is your first and main concern. Forums are one of the most PERFECT places to accomplish this goal. However, as your credibility starts to rise and you start to ‘brand’ yourself, you may make the decision whether or not you still want to invest your valuable time in the forums. This is completely up to you and your business.</strong></span><p /><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Your Action Step for driving massive amounts of targeted traffic to your website using Forum Marketing TODAY! Simply sign up and register for as many RELEVANT forums as you can, insert your Signature Box, and publish your first posts! Don’t hesitate to involve yourself with 3-5 separate forums - of course the more the merrier! The first step is to modify your profile to include your Signature Box. When you create your first post, make sure you can ‘preview’ your post to make sure your Signature Box appears.

The following tips, however, will help to improve your photographic style, experiment, and get great pictures on a regular basis. Whether your subject is a child, a pet, or nature, try some of these tips on your next photographic foray.</div> <p /><div>1. Get on Their Level – With a live subject it is important to get at eye-level before taking the shot. For children and pets this may mean kneeling, squatting, sitting or even lying down to get on the same level as your subject. While it is fun to experiment with different angles, you will have much greater success if you look your subject in the eye.</div> <p /><div>2. Fill out the Frame – Photographs are more powerful and interesting if the subject fills out the frame. Many photographers make the mistake of being too far from the subject. It is best to zoom in close enough the that the subject reaches or goes just beyond the edges of the photo frame in your view finder. This allows the viewer to see more detail and expression, and prevents the background from taking over the photograph.</div> <p /><div>3. Get a Little Closer – When you think your shot is set, try taking a few steps closer. Get in closer to your subject will show detail and emotion that add interest to your photographs.</div><p /><div>4. Simple backdrop – When photographing a specific subject be aware of what is going on behind them. You want to choose a backdrop that will not distract or obscure the look of the subject. Choose plain color background or simple natural greenery with few accents to really highlight your subject.</div> <p /><div>5. Use the Flash – Most people think that outdoor photos never require the use of a flash, but that is not the case. When the sun is at its brightest, can be the time when it casts the most shadow. Adding a flash on an already sunny day can even-out the shadows cast by wrinkles, strange angles, or other people. Just make sure that your camera flash is close enough to the subject to be effective.</div> <p /><div>6. Watch the Light -- Light is one of the most important factors in photo taking. When you get ready to take a shot, pause for a moment to take accounting of where the sun is and what shadows may be obscuring the view. You don’t want your subject squinting into the sun, nor do you want the light so bright behind them that it makes the subject look dark in comparison.</div> <p /><div>7. Go Vertical – Don’t get stuck in a rut. Many pictures would look better if you just turned them vertically. There are certain subjects that lend themselves to a vertical framing such as lighthouses, the Eiffel tower, or a beautiful tree. Try going vertical with some less likely subjects to see the difference it will make.</div> <p /><div>8. Get out of the Middle – Another common mistake photographers make is to put the subject of the photograph directly in the middle of the frame. This technique is usually not the most pleasing to the eye. Instead shift your subject to one of the four corners of the frame so that it is prominent, but not center stage.</div> <p /><div>9. Steady does it – Make sure the camera is steady when you are taking photos. A steady camera will prevent a blurry photo. If you are not the best at holding steady consider using a tripod to get a clear shot.</div> <p /><div>10. Shoot Away – If you really want to get better pictures, take more pictures, more frequently. With a digital camera it is no longer a waste to snap away. Feel free to take a lot of photos of the same subject, just varying the angle, lighting, or backdrop. Experimenting will allow you to find the tricks that work best for you, and will ensure that you will have at least a few great shots of each subject.</div> <p /><p /></div> </p> <p><a href="http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/digital-cameras-10-tips-to-get-great-pictures">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/digital-cameras-10-tips-to-get-great-pictures#comment">Leave a comment  »</a> </p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/GkAZeg08y3YxS6eEXqvLzZjm4_M/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/GkAZeg08y3YxS6eEXqvLzZjm4_M/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/GkAZeg08y3YxS6eEXqvLzZjm4_M/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/GkAZeg08y3YxS6eEXqvLzZjm4_M/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/1168028/54.jpg http://posterous.com/users/4afFSEZdUBxv Abdessamad Aouad DotComExpert Abdessamad Aouad Fri, 18 Jun 2010 12:14:31 -0700 4 Types of Tea: How is Each One Made http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/4-types-of-tea-how-is-each-one-made http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/4-types-of-tea-how-is-each-one-made <p> <div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/dotcomexpert/PlGwWQf7WU53Oc1uMQoXzqilDuyHgkV4SFKhQEn7sFtns4rWLQoa0CKyQDBb/0AF88933_0067.jpg"><img alt="0af88933_0067" height="390" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/dotcomexpert/JvfMXj1F6q9KfNxdC4LjkWaI3KX0pnPOmwZikvDaiYqHtTKCu80u4tSAedoA/0AF88933_0067.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> </div> <p></p><div><div>Tea is one of the most popular after food drinks in the world, but still very few people are aware that there are four inherently different flavours and types of tea one can find in every supermarket. Each tea is made out of different ingredients and each tea has its advantages and disadvantages. I will explain.</div> <p /><div>What you should always remember is that there are only four types of tea.</div><div>1) Black tea</div><div>2) Green tea</div><div>3) White tea</div><div>4) Oolong tea</div><p /><div>All these are made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis, also known as the tea plant. Other herbal infusions such as chamomile tea, ginger tea or red tea made of rooibos leaves are disqualified as types of tea since the tea plant is not involved in their making. The difference between the four tea variations lies in the process of making them. In addition, each type of tea has another flavor and various health benefits. </div> <p /><div>1) Black Tea</div><div>The strong flavored burnt Sienna colored hot beverage is the most popular type of tea in the West. Either served with a squeeze of lemon or added milk and a cube of sugar, the cup of black tea is part of daily tea ceremonies that take place worldwide. Black tea is made of heavily oxidized Camellia sinensis leaves. When served plain, it contains no calories, carbohydrates, or fats. A cup of black tea contains more caffeine than any other types of tea but less than in any cup of coffee.</div> <p /><div>2) Green Tea</div><div>The lightly oxidized tea has been popular in China, Japan and Korea for centuries. Recently, rumors on its health benefits increased its popularity in the West as well. It has been proven that drinking green tea can lower cholesterol, prevent cancer, increase metabolic rates and be helpful in variety of other conditions and illnesses. The green tea is lightly oxidized, dried, but not fermented. It is usually served plain, without sugar or milk. Since some of the green tea variants taste a bit bitter, it should be brewed in lower temperature than the boiling point.</div> <p /><div>3) White Tea</div><div>White tea is rarer and more expensive than the other types of teas mentioned above. Originated in the Fujian province of china, the white tea is made of young Camellia sinensis leaves, which go through a long process of steaming or frying, inactivate fermenting and drying. Since the leaves are harvested while the buds are still covered by white hair, it is called white tea. White tea has the most delicate, sweet taste than the other types of tea. Moreover, it contains the smallest amount of caffeine and the largest amount of antioxidant that help prevent cancer.</div> <p /><div>4) Oolong Tea</div><div>The traditional Chinese tea is the common companion of Chinese foods such as dim sum and chop suey in American Chinese restaurants. The oolong tea, black dragon in Chinese, got its name after its long, dark distinguished leaves that look like wild black dragons when brewed. The unique taste of the oolong tea is achieved by a long process that includes sun drying of the Camellia sinensis leaves, light oxidization, cooling and drying processes. The result is a lighter flavor than the popular black tea and stronger than the delicate green tea.</div> <p /><div><a href="http://www.facebook.com/digitalmoroccopage">Digital Morocco</a></div><p /><p /><p /></div> </p> <p><a href="http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/4-types-of-tea-how-is-each-one-made">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/4-types-of-tea-how-is-each-one-made#comment">Leave a comment  »</a> </p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/vY1eSUCqFKMOSa4Lals6kakeiB0/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/vY1eSUCqFKMOSa4Lals6kakeiB0/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/vY1eSUCqFKMOSa4Lals6kakeiB0/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/vY1eSUCqFKMOSa4Lals6kakeiB0/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/1168028/54.jpg http://posterous.com/users/4afFSEZdUBxv Abdessamad Aouad DotComExpert Abdessamad Aouad Fri, 18 Jun 2010 03:32:20 -0700 7 Things You should know when planning a babyshower http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/7-things-you-should-know-when-planning-a-baby http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/7-things-you-should-know-when-planning-a-baby <p> <div><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><div><div class="photoImgDiv" style=""><img title="" class="reflect" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3414/3644891009_c5a9675472.jpg" height="346" alt="Soniya's Babyshower: Cake by Sujal Parikh." width="500" style="border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-color: initial;" /></div> <form method="post" style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-color: initial;"> </form><form method="post" action="http://www.flickr.com/blog.gne" style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-color: initial;"> </form></div><div style="padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px;"><div class="photoDescription" style="font-size: 12px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"> Soniya's Babyshower: Cake (May, 2009)</div></div></div></div><p /><div>Babyshowers have their origin in ancient time. Like other things, the way and manner in which they are planned and celebrated have changed over time. Here are somethings that you should bear in mind when planning a babyshower today.</div> <p /><div>1. Know the culture of the would be parents.</div><div>Because babyshowers are steeped in tradition and customs, it is important to have a good idea of what is culturally acceptable by the would be parents and what is not. People do not necessarily throw away their culture because they live in modern times. Knowing the cultural limitations, makes the celebration more memorable and worthwile.</div> <p /><div>2. Know the needs of the parents to be</div><div>It is pointless giving gifts that recepients can not use. Would be parents need things for the new baby and are probably stretched to their limits. It would be only worth their while if the gifts they get help to alleviate this burden. Where the gender of the baby is known in advance, give gifts that are gender appropriate.</div> <p /><div>3. Know the best time to schedule your shower</div><div>As the hostess, it behooves you to know when to schedule the babyshower for maximum benefit and impact. Do not schedule your shower too early or too late. Expecting couples need all the financial help they can get. Scheduling a shower too late may mean that the couple had already bought all the things they need for the baby. </div> <p /><div>4. Know the physical needs of the expecting mother</div><div>Pregnancy puts enormous physical challenges and demand on the expecting mother, especially if it is their first pregnancy. It is a good idea to locate the shower closer to home to avoid putting additional strain on an already over challenged mother to be. </div> <p /><div>5. Know who is on your guest list</div><div>The success and failure of a babyshower to a certain extent depends on the attendace. How responsive is your list. Did you consult the couple when compiling your guest list. Remember this is their babyshower not your. You are only a vessel in the actualization of this event.</div> <p /><div>6. Know your refreshment plan</div><div>Preparing for and feeding even the smallest group of poeple can quickly turn into a nightmare if no adequate plans are made for that. Set up a plan about what to serve and how to serve it and work your plan. Make room for emergencies that may arise.</div> <p /><div>7. Know your plan for entertainment</div><div>What is your plan for entertainment? Do you have games that your guests can play? Board games and puzzles make for easy and entertaining games that your guests can play. You might want to organize some kind of poetry reading, depending on the mix of your guests. You can have guests come with their own poems written for the occassion to share with others.</div> </p> <p><a href="http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/7-things-you-should-know-when-planning-a-baby">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/7-things-you-should-know-when-planning-a-baby#comment">Leave a comment  »</a> </p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/zMolG7WzY5S5Yc8nkErjkS_Sg9I/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/zMolG7WzY5S5Yc8nkErjkS_Sg9I/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/zMolG7WzY5S5Yc8nkErjkS_Sg9I/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/zMolG7WzY5S5Yc8nkErjkS_Sg9I/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/1168028/54.jpg http://posterous.com/users/4afFSEZdUBxv Abdessamad Aouad DotComExpert Abdessamad Aouad Thu, 17 Jun 2010 10:34:00 -0700 10 Ways To Find The Best Price On Hotels http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/10-ways-to-find-the-best-price-on-hotels http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/10-ways-to-find-the-best-price-on-hotels <p> <p><img src="http://footballfire.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/273-2-zoom-1-aminta-grand-hotel-sorrento-lounge.jpg" alt="http://footballfire.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/273-2-zoom-1-aminta-grand-hotel-sorrento-lounge.jpg" /> Planning a trip has become increasing difficult as there are so many options to choose from. After finding a hotel that suits all your needs you need to ascertain whether you are getting a good rate. When you ask a travel agent or refer to a brochure for rates what you get is the generally quoted rate for room. But if you are wise you can get a better deal and save a lot of money.<p />1. Surf the net and see what online travel sites like Expedia, Hotels.com, or Travelocity are offering. Or you could browse the hotel web site to find a good deal. Many sites list special offers as well as discounts.<br /> <br />2. Use a search tool to like BookingBuddy.com or Travel Axe to compare various offers and rates. <p />3. Look for what is known as “lowest rate guarantee” these are mainly on offer online but are subject to advance booking and very harsh cancellation policies. Even if the price offered online is attractive do call the hotel up and see if they are willing to better the rate.<p />4. Opaque-pricing travel sites like Hotwire or priceline do offer good rates for good hotels. The only downside is you cannot specify a hotel. All you can do is indicate where you want accommodation. The reservation needs to be made online and is non refundable and one cannot change plans or cancel.<p />5. Consider purchasing an Entertainment book discount for between US$22 to 45. Becoming a member entitles you to discounts of 50% on the rack rate of member hotels. But these discounts are only available when the occupancy rate of the hotel is less than 80%. Check out the great options at: <a href="http://www.entertainment.com/discount/home.shtml">http://www.entertainment.com/discount/home.shtml</a>. <p />6. Ask about weekend rates. Often hotels that cater to business travelers have great rates on what they consider off season, weekends.<p />7. If you plan your trip well in advance you could get a discount of 50% or more during off season.<p />8. Some hotels have special rates for members of AAA, American Automobile Association and other professional bodies or clubs. Call the hotel of your choice and ask them if they do have such schemes.<p />9. If you are traveling in a group ask about group rates or family rates. Most hotels have different options for multiple bookings. Some even offer a day or two additional stay at no extra cost.<p />10. When you leave the airport or railway station or just drive in to a town stop at a gas station and find out if they have hotel coupon booklets. These many a time have great offers for visitors.<p />To get the best deal you need to be thorough as well as flexible. Just as you spend time sourcing air tickets at bargain prices you can do the same for hotel bookings. Read all travel offers carefully, set aside any discount booklets your bank or credit card company sends you for use when you travel. If you are smart you will save quite a lot.<p />facebook : <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/DotComExpert/116174181740147">http://www.facebook.com/pages/DotComExpert/116174181740147</a></p> </p> <p><a href="http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/10-ways-to-find-the-best-price-on-hotels">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/10-ways-to-find-the-best-price-on-hotels#comment">Leave a comment  »</a> </p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/xhoFuTDFQUE7SVMW9StyBnEuVWs/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/xhoFuTDFQUE7SVMW9StyBnEuVWs/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/xhoFuTDFQUE7SVMW9StyBnEuVWs/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/xhoFuTDFQUE7SVMW9StyBnEuVWs/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/1168028/54.jpg http://posterous.com/users/4afFSEZdUBxv Abdessamad Aouad DotComExpert Abdessamad Aouad Wed, 16 Jun 2010 12:42:00 -0700 Beginners Digital Photography Equipment Tips http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/beginners-digital-photography-equipment-tips http://dotcomexpert.posterous.com/beginners-digital-photography-equipment-tips <p> <p>When you first begin using your digital photography camera be sure you have got the correct equipment you will need before you set out.
