Turn Personal Photos into Magazine Covers with MagMyPic.com

MagMyPic.com, a popular website that makes digital magazine covers with users' photos, will now let users purchase high quality prints of their magazine covers. The covers range from standard 8x10 prints to framed 16x20 posters and start at $9.95.

Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) July 31, 2008 -- A new website has launched an easy and fun service that turns personal photos into full fledged magazine covers. The website, http://www.magmypic.com/, introduced an easy process that allows even novice users to put their picture on the cover of a magazine. MagMyPic's newest feature allows users to purchase these magazine covers as full size prints.

MagMyPic.com first launched in October of 2007 as a free tool to make fake magazine covers online. Over 15 million magazines were created and distributed online within the first 10 months. After users clamored for the ability to purchase their magazine covers as real prints, MagMyPic built a system to do just that.

The result is a simple process that automates nearly everything for the user. Once a photo is selected, the site automatically uploads, crops, positions, and resizes it all behind the scenes. The user then simply selects which magazine cover to use. When a magazine is selected, an instant preview shows exactly how the final print will look.

The feature to purchase the magazine covers launched on July 16th, 2008. A standard 8x10 magazine cover costs $9.95. Covers can be printed as large as a 16x20 poster. This new feature also allows users to frame the pictures and purchase other novelty gifts such as mouse-pads and tee-shirts.

Matt Parrett, the lead developer behind MagMyPic.com, thinks the timing is good for buying prints. "With the economy and gas prices how they are, it's nice to have such a unique gift that's affordable and available from home."

Matt gives many examples of how these prints can be used as novelty gifts. A husband can surprise his wife with wedding pictures on the cover of Bride. A father-son photo on a sports magazine or a framed picture of the family dog on PetFancy are other examples. With over 30 magazines ranging from Style to Outdoors, a wide range of options are available.

"A lot of publishing companies have tried to make systems like this, but they always overcomplicated them," said Andy Holloway, the site's creator. "Our site actually makes it fun to make the magazine covers and users have been really impressed with their prints."

For additional information on personal magazine printing (or for a sample, copy or demo), contact Jason Moore or visit MagMyPic.com.

Olympic Diamond 3G iPhone Rings up a Wealth of Luck

De Vere's of London, the diamond jewellers, have unveiled a 3G Apple iPhone studded with 88 diamonds commemorating Beijing's summer Olympics. 88 signifies double wealth in Chinese superstition. Reminiscent of Cartier Art Deco vanity cases and exclusive to De Vere's of London, these desirable smartphones enter the booming £700 million ($1.4 billion) luxury cellphone market that is driven by the new rich of China, Russia and the Middle East.



London (PRWEB) July 30, 2008 -- De Vere's of London, the diamond jewellers, have unveiled a 3G Apple iPhone studded with 88 diamonds commemorating Beijing's summer Olympics. 88 signifies double wealth in Chinese superstition.

Reminiscent of Cartier's Art Deco vanity cases of the 1920s, the diamond iPhones are exclusive to De Vere's of London.

These desirable versions of Apple's smartphone join the £700 million ($1.4 billion) luxury cellphone market. A market driven by the new rich of China, Russia and the Middle East.

The 88 diamond iPhone commemorates the 2008 summer Olympics in Beijing, China.

In China, 8 is a very fortunate number". Explained Philip De Vere, founder of De Vere's of London and creator of the diamond iPhones. "The Chinese and Cantonese articulation and pronunciation of 8 sounds like the word signifying wealth, prosperity or fortune. This makes it a very important number in Chinese superstition. People pay huge sums of money for license plates and telephone numbers containing 8. It's a highly desired number".

It is no co-incidence the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics is 8/8/08 at 8pm. 88 literally means double wealth.

The 88 diamonds are set into the steel bezel surrounding the iPhone's screen. The price is £4148 ($8219).

Another De Vere iPhone design contains 28 diamonds. Costing £1700 ($3376), it translates into easy to get wealth or easy to get rich. A design containing 168 diamonds translates into want smooth wealth. This version is £7800 ($15493).

"At De Vere's of London we've looked at designing and creating diamond phones for some time". Said Philip De Vere. "We wanted to have the most elegant, glamorous and desired phones without being excessive.

"The Apple iPhone is already the most desirable phone on the market. We wanted to create the most desirable luxury phone on the market". Philip De Vere said.

"The black backed 3G iPhone came along at the right time. Its smooth, symmetrical and uncluttered shape was perfect. Inset this with diamonds and it's reminiscent of a Cartier Art Deco vanity case of the 1920s. Very chic and glamorous". Philip De Vere added.

De Vere's of London are the only designers and creators of diamond inset iPhones. The small diamonds are set into the steel bezel surrounding the screen. The black screen and black back of the 3G version emphasise the diamonds in their settings.

De Vere's of London set any number of diamonds into the iPhone bezel, from 25 to 425. There are numerous variations in pattern, layout and quantity of diamonds, including designs containing 18 and 21 diamonds to mark a coming of age. Any number can be inset to celebrate an anniversary, birthday or special event.

A stunning Transition design is also available. The diamonds fade from deep pink to white as they descend down the bezel.

The highest quality certified diamonds are used, in classic white, pink or black. Sapphires, rubies and emeralds can also be inset. All carried out by skilled jewellers.

Prices for De Vere diamond iPhones start from £1500 ($2979) rising to £15000 ($29790) for the top model with a fully covered bezel.

"You don't have to be Chinese or a millionaire to own a diamond iPhone". Said Philip De Vere. "We wanted to have a luxury iPhone that was affordable and had lasting value".

"Many people gasp at the price of a diamond iPhone". Philip De Vere said. "The iPhone is relatively inexpensive but the diamonds aren't. They have a real value in today's market. The value of our iPhones are in the diamonds. If the iPhone is changed or upgraded, the diamonds can be added to the new one or set into a beautiful piece of custom made jewellery. This way the diamonds will continue to bring pleasure. They remain the customer's; however they wish to display them".

The new rich of Russia, the Middle East and China are fuelling the luxury cellphone market. It is currently worth £700 million ($1.4 billion) a year and considered to have limitless growth.

"The market for luxury cellphones is bigger than people imagine". Said Philip De Vere. "The creation of a multi-billion dollar market is inevitable, driven by the new rich".

In Russia and the Middle East, high oil prices have seen the emerging super-rich seek the trappings of their new found wealth.

The Chinese luxury goods market is enjoying stratospheric growth of 20-30%. It is now officially classified as the fastest growing luxury market in the world, worth £4 billion ($8 billion) or 18% of the total global market.

Top of the rich wish-list is the latest cellphone and diamond jewellery. De Vere's of London combine both.

How To Buy Cheap Laptops

You will have to consider many things before choosing the right laptop. An average person doesn’t comprehend the hi-tech language associated with computers like WiFi connectivity, wireless, Flat Panel TFT and many other features as well. It is impossible for a lay man to cope up with the ever changing computer lingo which makes difficult for them to buy the right machine. As far as the laptops are concerned, it is advisable to avoid impulse buying.

In most of the cases people use to take help from the salesman, store managers and the sales agent. Though, they know about the technology but the quality of the advice which they would give is indirectly proportional to the commission of the salesperson.

You can discuss your needs and requirements with the people whom you trust like your friends and family. And, if you think that your family or friend’s advice is not enough, then look for some few PC magazines and review the latest technology and buying trends. In such magazines you may find out the regular sections of the customer ratings and even the surveys of the various up-coming products.

Before selecting a laptop you need to ask yourself some of the basic questions like:

1. What are the reasons for you to buy a laptop?
2. What is your budget?
3. Where you can buy?

If you are planning to buy it online then you can save significant amount of money but it will take some time for the delivery. If you have made the purchase decision then you should start collecting some basic information on the various models and the features offered by the different brands.

You may find different series and brands of the laptops that are built keeping in mind the needs of the customers. You should find out some basic range of laptops which comes in the affordable price range. One of the basic ways by which you can spot out the basic laptops is the processor speed. Usually, the laptops with the Intel‘s Celeron Processors or AMD’s Duron are the basic ones.
Above all, at the time of buying cheap laptops, you should consider the various built in features and the components with its brand name.

The World's First Free Cell Phone Radiation Shielding Device Now Available

Dr. Ronald B. Herberman raises concerns about cancer risks relating to cell phone radiation and FreeShield.net offers a solution. Using "Sacred G" technology recently featured on MTV's hit show, Rob and Big, FreeShield.net introduces the world's first free protective cell phone shield.

Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) July 25, 2008 -- What do a prominent cancer doctor and professional skateboarder have in common?

Dr. Ronald B. Herberman of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute has made headlines around the world recently suggesting there is sufficient data to warrant issuing an advisory due to the growing body of literature linking long-term cell phone use to possible health effects including cancer.

At the other end of the country in sunny California, pro skateboarding megastar Rob Dyrdek recently introduced "Sacred G" technology on an episode of MTV's hit program Rob and Big. This technology is now taking the cell phone market by storm, featured in the world's first free cell phone radiation shielding technology.

After visiting "Harry the Healer," Dyrdek began experimenting with a brand new performance enhancing technology that he claims improves his skateboarding abilities. This amazing technology creates a unique energy field that helps athletes stay "in the zone" and unlock new abilities.

This same "Sacred G" technology has quickly become popular with cellular phone users due to clinical studies and other evidence indicating that it helps neutralize the harmful electromagnetic fields, or EMF radiation, that cell phones emit. What's more, this technology is now being distributed absolutely free of charge.

Perhaps you've wondered how cell phones might affect your health, especially whether studies linking their use to anxiety, depression, infertility, brain damage, and even cancer might be true.

Dr. George Carlo is a former head of research representing the cellular phone industry. After years of working for these big corporate interests, Dr. Carlo became a leading advocate for consumer protection from cell phone risks. Dr. Carlo refers to the cellular industry's studies as "scientific fraud" and warns consumers to beware of cell phone use. http://www.FreeShield.net shares significant research and studies showing that cell phones may indeed be more harmful than you may have imagined.

FreeShield is a technology you can receive instantly and easily apply to your phone within minutes. FreeShield uses "Sacred G" technology, which involves advanced mathematics and complex frequency equations. This technology generates a full spectrum vibration that is both balanced and stable. It is this full spectrum vibration that helps to harmonize and neutralize harmful frequencies such as those emitted by cell phones. After using FreeShield protection, many cell phone users report reduced levels of stress, anxiety, and depression, and other improvements in their well being.

"This technology is so far outside the box," says FreeShield founder, Craig Brockie "that we've been forced to address the skepticism from every angle possible, right up front." At www.FreeShield.net, Brockie has created a multi-media visitor experience that provides an in-depth explanation of why cell phone users need FreeShield and how the technology works. Brockie also teaches visitors how to test FreeShield to demonstrate that it actually works -- even in double-blind studies.

"FreeShield is just that: the world's first free protective cell phone shield," said Brockie. "The technology is free to download and free to use." Users are encouraged to share FreeShield with their friends by email and create as many copies as they like to give away in person. Brockie is enthusiastic about FreeShield. "Our goal is to reach more than a million cell phone users by Christmas, but based on the response we've received so far, we might be there by the time school starts back up," he said.

How To Protect Your Website Against Hackers

Sadly, hackers are a reality that won't go away. Here are some tips that you can use to protect your website from an attack.

There is no such thing as a 100% protected unhackable website. But there are things that you can do to protect yourself against hackers.

Backups

Always make backups of your data. In a lifetime, it is very unlikely that you will not be visited by any hackers so I suggest that you make backups. This way, you can restore your website to the way that it was before the attack. No website is 100% unhackable so backups are essential. Don't think about risking it without making any backups.

Keep Your Scripts Up To Date

Every web script has security holes in it that are just waiting to be discovered. If you are using a CMS or script like Wordpress, for example, then you need to make sure that you keep it up to date when a new version comes out. There are hackers out there who just concentrate on lazy webmasters who do not update their scripts and they are easy pickings for attacks. Don't become another statistic!

Use Basic File Permissioning

If you are running a unix host (most people are) then you should use some basic default permissioning. This means setting your folders to 755 and your files to 644. Sometimes a program requires different settings but you should use this as a default. Never, ever, set a file or folder to 777 - you are just asking for trouble.

New iPod LCD Replacement Services Offered

When your iPod screen is cracked, the folks at the website ipodjuice.com can replace it with a brand new one that is covered for ten years.

(PRWEB) July 22, 2008 -- Known for providing iPod battery kits and services for the past three years, industry leader Milliamp LTD from their website ipodjuice.com has just announced their brand new iPod LCD replacement program today from their San Antonio location.

"Having a damaged iPod screen is perhaps the second most common ailment after needing a new battery," said Anthony Magnabosco, the owner of the iPod repair company.

The LCD's, or liquid crystal displays, inside every iPod and iPhone are very fragile pieces of equipment, but they typically hold up pretty well under normal use. However, if the iPod is dropped or is exposed to wild temperature swings, the screen can show a noticeable crack or defect, or simply may not work at all.

Since the LCD inside every iPod is a bit challenging to change, the ipodjuice.com website prefers to replace them at their shop. Most LCD's, regardless of the type of iPod you have, run just $20, and there is a modest installation fee to cover labor and return shipping.

New screens for the iPod touch and iPhone are significantly higher, simply because of the scarcity of these parts. However, Milliamp LTD does offer new iPhone screens as well, for people who would rather keep their iPhone instead of spending a ton of money on a brand new one.

"When you have a working iPod or iPhone but the screen does not work, it is worth the minimal expense to get it fixed," continued Magnabosco.

As is the case with their new ipod batteries, a new LCD from the ipodjuice.com website is also guaranteed for ten years, so it should be the last iPod screen you will ever need to buy for your Apple music player.

Quick and painless iPod repairs can be obtained at Milliamp LTD's website ipodjuice.com.

The ipodjuice.com website and the company Milliamp LTD are in NO WAY associated with Apple Computer, Inc., in the event there was any confusion between the two websites.

'Apple', 'iPod', and 'iPhone' are trademarks of Apple Computer, Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.

Why are men so fat?

Weight-loss expert Harvey Brooker says the reasons for weight gain in men are very different from those associated with overweight women.

Toronto, ON (PRWEB) July 18, 2008 -- With 65% of North American men overweight, men clearly need a different solution than the diet plans and weight-loss programs that are tailored for women. According to men's weight loss expert and author Harvey Brooker, "understanding how you became overweight will make it possible for you to see exactly where you need to go."

Brooker argues that there are conditions that are specific to men that lead to weight gain:

Men are conditioned to want certain foods - With the emphasis on red meat, most men eat too much protein rather than focus on balance in their diets.

Men are conditioned to eat too much - Compared to women, men are served more and are expected to eat more than women. "We learn to eat a lot when we're young," says Brooker, "we're told that it's manly and that we need to eat as much as we can because we're growing." And this becomes of lifelong habit.

Men aren't taught to think about their weight - Men don't think about their weight unless it affects their health, sex life or job. And this often means that significant weight-gain has already happened.

Society overlooks men's weight - Men often don't face the same scrutiny and pressures as women to be thin - and this allows them to convince themselves that nothing is wrong.

Men believe that working out will keep the weight off - A few weeks "sweating it off" in the gym is no replacement for proper eating habits. And without a balanced diet, men still face the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

Men don't read labels - "A basic understanding of food labels is crucial to weight management," says Brooker. Men, compared to women, don't read the nutritional information on the food they eat.

Harvey Brooker is the author of It's Different for Men: The Men's Weight-Loss Strategy for Health, Wealth, and Sexual Vitality and the founder of Harvey Brooker's Weight Loss for Men, the only all men's weight-loss organization in North America.

A Bihar Student Wrote an Essay about Cow!!!!!!!

You'll forget your English by the time you finish reading this.This is a true essay written by a Bihari candidate at UPSC ( IAS ) Examinations. The candidate has written an essay on the Indian Cow.

But he has got four legs together. Two are forward and two are afterwards. His whole body can be utilised for use. More so the milk. Milk comes from 4 taps attached to his basement.

What can it do? Various ghee,butter, cream, curd,why and the condensed milk and so forth. And he is also useful to cobbler, watermans and mankind generally. His motion is slow only because he is of lazy species, and also his gober is much useful to farmers, plants and trees and is used to make flat cakes, in hand and drying sun.

Cow is the only animal that extricates after eating. Then afterwards she chew with his teeth whom are situated in the inside of the mouth. He is incessantly in hte meadows in the grass. His only attacking and defending organ is the horns, specially so when he is got child.This is done by knowing his head whereby he causes the weapond to be parralleled to the ground of the earth and instantly proceed with great velocity forewards.

Send this to your english teacher......... She is surely gonna committ SUICIDE!!!

New Photo of Neil Armstrong on the Moon

There are famously no good photos of Neil Armstrong on the Moon. This was because for most of the time that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were on the lunar surface, Armstrong had the camera, and so most of the historic photographs taken during the Apollo 11 mission, show Buzz Aldrin. Neil can be seen in the grainy TV and film footage, and his back can be seen in a panorama, but now, Mike Constantine of Moonpans.com has added a new photo of Neil to the list.

(PRWEB) July 16, 2008 -- There are famously no good photos of Neil Armstrong on the Moon. This was because for most of the time that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were on the lunar surface, Armstrong had the camera, and so most of the historic photographs taken during the Apollo 11 mission, show Buzz Aldrin. Neil can be seen in the grainy TV and film footage, and his back can be seen in a panorama, but now, Mike Constantine of Moonpans.com has added a new photo of Neil to the list.

This new and exclusive photo made by Mike Constantine of Moonpans.com, is one of the only images of Neil Armstrong standing on the surface of the moon. But the funny part is, that Neil took the photo himself! It is actually a close up shot of Buzz Aldrin's reflective visor, which shows the Neil as the photographer as a mirror image.

Using digital imaging techniques we zoomed in on Buzz's visor and cropped, flipped and de-sphered, the reflection to get the rare shot of Armstrong as Buzz would have looked back at him during the famous shot.

The reason no proper photos were taken of Neil Armstrong on the moon, was because Neil had the camera most of the time, so there are plenty of shots of Buzz but almost none of Armstrong.

Incidentally, the small blue dot at the top of the photo is actually the Earth!

How the photo was made

After getting hold of a highest resolution scan possible of the famous Buzz Aldrin Visor Shot, Mike cropped out the Visor part and set about stretching and manipulating the image to overcome the spheracle effect of the visor, he then had to correct the color away from the Gold sheen that the visor had. Lastly the image was flipped to show how Neil actually would have looked to Buzz, rather than his mirror image.

More info on photos of Neil Armstrong on the moon

The only other and perhaps a more impressive photo of Neil Armstrong on the Moon, is the panorama that Buzz captured showing Neil working at the MESA (Modularized Equipment Stowage Assembly) of Lunar Module, Eagle. This is the Moonpans.com assembly . It was assembled from 8 separate photos to form a single seamless panoramic photgraph. Virtual Reality Movies from all the Apollo Missions are available on the Moonpans Website

Apollo 11 blasted off from Cape Canaveral on July 16 1969 and landed on the Moon on July 20th 1969. Neil Armstrong then became the first man to walk on the moon.

Moonpans.com started in 2003 assembling the panoramic photos that were taken on the Apollo missions. Now they supply Apollo panoramic prints, Astronaut autographs, memorabila flown to the Moon and work with space museums on large panoramic backdrops.

Some Interesting Facts About Formula 1

• A Formula1 car is made up of 80,000 components, if it were assembled 99.9% correctly, it would still start the race with 80 things wrong!


• When an Formula1 driver hits the brakes on his car he experiences retardation or deceleration comparable to a regular car driving through a BRICK wall at 300kmph!!!


• F1 car can go from 0 to 160 kph AND back to 0 in FOUR seconds!!!!!!!


• F1 car engines last only for about 2 hours of racing mostly before blowing up on the other hand we expect our engines to last us for a decent 20yrs on an average and they quite faithfully DO....that's the extent to which the engines are pushed to perform...


• An average F1 driver looses about 4kgs of weight after just one race due to the prolonged exposure to high G forces and temperatures for little over an hour (Yeah that's right!!!) the turkish circuit has a turn 8 which exposes a driver to about 4-5Gs for about 7 seconds continuously!!!


• At 550kg a F1 car is less than half the weight of a Mini Cooper.


• To give you an idea of just how important aerodynamic design and added down force can be, small planes can take off at slower speeds than F1 cars travel on the track.


• Without aerodynamic down force, high-performance racing cars have sufficient power to produce wheel spin and loss of control at 160 kph. They usually race at over 300 kph.


• In a street course race like the Monaco grand prix, the down force provides enough suction to lift manhole covers. Before the race all of the manhole covers on the streets have to be welded down to prevent this from happening!


• The refuelers used in F1 can supply 12 liters of fuel per second. This means it would take just 4 seconds to fill the tank of an average 50 liter family car. They use the same refueling rigs used on US military helicopters today.


• TOP F1 pit crews can refuel and change tyres in around 3 seconds. It took me 8 sec to read above point.


• During the race the tyres lose weight! Each tyre loses about 0.5 kg in weight due to wear.


• Normal tyres last 60 000 - 100 000 km. Racing tyres are designed to last 90 - 120 km.


• A dry-weather F1 tyre reaches peak operating performance (best grip) when tread temperature is between 900C and 1200C.(Water boils boils at 100C remember) At top speed, F1 tyres rotate 50 times a second.

Solving Problems

The Japanese have always loved fresh fish. But the waters close to Japan have not held many fish for decades. So to feed the Japanese population, fishing boats got bigger and went farther than ever. The farther the fishermen went, the longer it took to bring in the fish. If the return trip took more than a few days, the fish were not fresh.

The Japanese did not like the taste. To solve this problem, fishing companies installed freezers on their boats. They would catch the fish and freeze them at sea. Freezers allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer.

However, the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh and frozen and they did not like frozen fish. The frozen fish brought a lower price. So fishing companies installed fish tanks. They would catch the fish and stuff them in the tanks, fin to fin. After a little thrashing around, the fish stopped moving. They were tired and dull, but alive.

Unfortunately, the Japanese could still taste the difference. Because the fish did not move for days, they lost their fresh-fish taste. The Japanese preferred the lively taste of fresh fish, not sluggish fish.

So how did Japanese fishing companies solve this problem? How do they get fresh-tasting fish to Japan? If you were consulting the fish industry, what would you recommend?

.....As soon as you reach your goals, such as finding a wonderful mate, starting a successful company, paying off your debts or whatever, you might lose your passion. You don't need to work so hard so you relax. You experience the same problem as lottery winners who waste their money, wealthy heirs who never grow up and bored homemakers who get addicted to prescription drugs. Like the Japanese fish problem, the best solution is simple. In the Early 50's, L Ron Hubbard, the Founder of Scientology, observed: "Man thrives, oddly enough, only in the presence of a challenging environment".

The Benefits of a Challenge: The more intelligent, persistent and competent you are, the more you enjoy a good problem. If your challenges are the correct size, and if you are steadily conquering those challenges, you are happy. You think of your challenges and get energized. You are excited to try new solutions. You have fun. You are alive!

How Japanese Fish Stay Fresh: To keep the fish tasting fresh, the Japanese fishing companies still put the fish in the tanks. But now they add a small shark to each tank. The shark eats a few fish, but most of the fish arrive in a very lively state. The fish are challenged.

Recommendations:
Instead of avoiding challenges, jump into them. Beat the heck out of them. Enjoy the game. If your challenges are too large or too numerous, do not give up. Failing makes you tired. Instead, reorganize. Find more determination, more knowledge, more help. If you have met your goals, set some bigger goals. Once you meet your personal or family needs, move onto goals for your group, the society, even mankind.

Don't create success and lie in it. You have resources, skills and abilities to make a difference." So, put a shark in your tank and see how far you can really go!

Yes, parents do have a heart. Stop Abortion

Dear Mommy, I am in Heaven now... I so wanted to be your little girl. I don't quite understand what has happened. I was so excited when I began realizing my existence. I was in a dark, yet comfortable place. I saw I had fingers and toes. I was pretty far along in my developing, yet not near ready to leave my surroundings. I spent most of my time thinking or sleeping. Even from my earliest days, I felt a special bonding between you and me. Sometimes I heard you crying and I cried with you. Sometimes you would yell or scream, then cry. I heard Daddy yelling back. I was sad, and hoped you would be better soon. I wondered why you cried so much. One day you cried almost all of the day. I hurt for you. I couldn't imagine why you were so unhappy.

That same day, the most horrible thing happened. A very mean monster came into that warm, comfortable place I was in. I was so scared, I began screaming, but you never once tried to help me. Maybe you never heard me. The monster got closer and closer as I was screaming and screaming, "Mommy, Mommy, help me please; Mommy, help me." Complete terror is all I felt. I screamed and screamed until I thought I couldn't anymore. Then the monster started ripping my arms off. It hurt so bad; the pain I can never explain. It didn't stop. Oh, how I begged it to stop. I screamed in horror as it ripped my leg off.

Though I was in such complete pain, I was dying. I knew I would never see your face or hear you say how much you love me. I wanted to make all your tears go away. I had so many plans to make you happy. Now I couldn't; all my dreams were shattered. Though I was in utter pain and horror, I felt the pain of my heart breaking, above all. I wanted more than anything to be your daughter. No use now, for I was dying a painful death. I could only imagine the terrible things that they had done to you. I wanted to tell you that I love you before I was gone, but I didn't know the words you could understand.

And soon, I no longer had the breath to say them; I was dead. I felt myself rising. I was being carried by a huge angel into a big beautiful place. I was still crying, but the physical pain was gone.. The angel took me away to a wonderful place... Then I was happy. I asked the angel what was the thing was that killed me. He answered, "Abortion". I am sorry, for I know how it feels." I don't know what abortion is; I guess that's the name of the monster. I'm writing to say that I love you and to tell you how much I wanted to be your little girl. I tried very hard to live. I wanted to live. I had the will, but I couldn't; the monster was too powerful. It sucked my arms and legs off and finally got all of me. It was impossible to live. I just wanted you to know I tried to stay with you. I didn't want to die. Also, Mommy, please watch out for that abortion monster. Mommy, I love you and I would hate for you to go through the kind of pain I did. Please be careful.

Love,
Your Baby Girl.

DO YOU THINK THESE BABIES CHOSE TO DIE???

An elderly man in Mumbai calls his son in New York and says,

"I hate to ruin your day son, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are getting a divorce; 35 years of marriage... and that much misery is enough!"

"Dad, what are you talking about?" the son screams.

"We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the old man says.

"We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Hong Kong and tell her!"

Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone.

"Like heck they're getting divorced," she shouts, "I'll take care of this."

She calls Mumbai immediately, and screams at the old man, "You are not getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow.

Until then , don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR??" and she hangs up.

The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. "Okay", he says,

NOT A STORY BUT - A TRUE INCIDENT

An Indian man walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. He tells the loan officer that he is going to India on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.

The bank officer tells him that the bank will need some form of security for the loan, so the Indian man hands over the keys and documents of new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. He produces the title and everything checks out. The loan officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan.

The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the Indian for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the Indian returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41.

The loan officer says, "Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multi millionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow "$5,000" ?

The Indian replies: "Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return"

Ah, the mind of the Indian... This is why India is shining.

Cosmetic Surgery for Men in New Jersey is Seeing a Dramatic Increase at Parker Center for Plastic Surgery

New Jersey Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Paul M. Parker, performing a dramatic increase in plastic surgery for men. Parker Center for Plastic Surgery, New Jersey, sees the trend mirroring the national trend, and they are dedicated to offering specialized treatments as needed for their male patients.

Paramus, NJ (PRWEB) July 10, 2008 -- In an article recently published in "The Record" by North Jersey Media Group, Mary Jo Layton details the evolution of men increasingly accepting plastic surgery.

Ms. Layton writes, "Love handles and jowls, it seems, have no place on an ageless boomer's body. Tightening a sagging jawline, siphoning fat from the buttocks and beer bellies or removing puffiness around the eyes gives men confidence and a leg up in the business world, physicians said."

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons recently published their 2007 cosmetic surgery trends data which shows a dramatic increase in the number of men using plastic surgery treatments. The top 4 Cosmetic Procedures for Men in 2007 are Rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, liposuction, and male breast reduction.

Board-certified, New Jersey plastic surgeon, Dr. Paul M. Parker, is not surprised by the trends for cosmetic surgery for men, "We are seeing more men coming in after watching their wives enjoy the success of their procedures. The men are walking in interested in facial procedures to look more refreshed, less tired."

The center also recognizes that as the weather warms up and more men want to go outdoors without a shirt, the consultations and procedures increase for liposuction and male breast reduction, New Jersey.

Dr. Parker continues, "Our practice also sees a trend of more men in their 30s and 40s who workout and have healthy lifestyles but just can't lose fat in hard-to-reach areas."

At the Parker Center for Plastic Surgery in New Jersey, cosmetic surgery for men is somewhat different from that of female patients. The Parker Center recognizes the need of most men for a higher level of anonymity. Also, a quick, painless recovery to rapidly return to the workplace is a necessity. All of their patients and particularly their male patients appreciate the unoperated, natural looking results Dr. Parker is known for.

The staff at Parker Center for Plastic Surgery has developed an effective Rapid Recovery program well-suited for male patients: limited incisions to speed wound healing, short-acting anesthetic agents, a tailored regimen of drugs to minimize postoperative pain, swelling and bruising, and postoperative medical manual lymphatic drainage massage to accelerate healing.

Dr. Parker is always happy to discuss the various options available for male facial rejuvenation, male breast reduction, and male liposuction techniques. His website offers more procedure details specific to men as well as a collection of male before and after pictures.

New Pornography-Detection Tool Makes It Difficult for Sex Offenders and Teens to Hide Pornography

SurfRecon, a new rapid-image-analysis tool, is now available to law enforcement, parents, business owners, and schools. The highly-mobile and easy-to-use tool can quickly find pornography on almost any computer system.

(PRWEB) July 9, 2008 -- SurfRecon Inc. announced today the release of SurfRecon 2008, a new rapid-image-analysis tool that is available to law enforcement, parents, business owners, and schools for the first time. This highly-mobile and easy-to-use tool was originally created to enable members of law enforcement to quickly find, categorize, report-on, and delete pornographic content from almost any computer system, including many devices or media that can be mounted to the computer system.

"We have always felt strongly that parents, employers, and especially members of law enforcement needed a simple tool that would find pornography on a suspect computer. With SurfRecon, they have that tool," said Matthew Yarro, VP of Marketing for SurfRecon, Inc.

SurfRecon is currently being used by police, adult probation and parole officers, and federal agents worldwide. "I was excited to finally have a tool I could use to quickly search computers in the homes of my probationers," said said Cole Christensen, Adult Probation and Parole Officer, Utah State Department of Corrections, "And guess what? The first time I used it, I found pornographic content. Images I wouldn't have found normally."

And now the same technology is available to parents, community leaders, and business owners to help them keep their environments clean and safe.

The SurfRecon "Stick"
The SurfRecon application comes pre-installed on a thumb drive, making it highly mobile and convenient to use. Furthermore, the application is cross-platform compatible, capable of scanning almost any Windows, Macintosh, and Linux computer system--and many devices or media that can be attached to the computer, such as recordable DVDs and CDs, iPods, cell phones, thumb drives, external hard drives, etc.

Different from a filter or firewall, SurfRecon actively searches for pornographic content, leveraging a database containing millions of hash values or digital fingerprints. "With nearly 100 million image hashes in the database and with another 4 million added per week, if a computer contains pornography, SurfRecon will find it," said Andrew Brandt, SurfRecon Director of Business Development.

Each hash value in the database is the equivalent of a digital fingerprint, which uniquely identifies an image. SurfRecon uses "digital fingerprints" to determine the exact nature of any image that it discovers on a computer system. It can then pre-categorize the images, making it easier for individuals to view the contents of a computer system.

Safety Tools
SurfRecon includes a number of safety tools that limit the impact that repeated exposure to dark-and-disturbing forms of pornography can have on an individual. "We feel SurfRecon's safety features are some of the most important features the tool has to offer individuals who review pornographic content," said Mr. Yarro, "They need something to protect their mental health, because some of the harder forms of pornography out on the Internet are so toxic and disturbing, they are going to harm you. It's unavoidable."

The primary safety features included with SurfRecon are the blur and Digital Keyhole tools, which allows a user to blur an image and then use the keyhole tool to limit his or her exposure. Furthermore, these tools, combined with several information panels, allow an individual to determine the nature of an image without even looking at the image.

Who Will Use SurfRecon?
SurfRecon fills a gap in home-and-business Internet safety strategies that filters and firewalls simply cannot. Tech savvy teens can easily bypass or disable a filter or firewall to access Internet pornography.

Rather than passively block access, SurfRecon actively looks for clues that someone has been accessing pornography. "If we can detect it, we can likely categorize it for you. Depending on the speed of you computer, SurfRecon can analyze thousands of images in only a few minutes," said Mr. Yarro.

Parents can use the tool to keep their spouses and children safe. Employers can use the tool to not only check on their employees, but to keep their business environment clear of any pornographic content and free from potential liabilities.

Members of law enforcement can use the tool to perform first-response and consent searches. The tool was primarily built for law enforcement and focuses on mobility, efficiency, accuracy, and integrity.

"Anyone who is dealing with a curious teen, wandering spouse, or convicted sex offender needs this tool. It can keep you, as well as your family and your community, safe," said Mr. Yarro.

Pricing:
SurfRecon is available in three editions: Home Edition, Business Edition, and Elite Edition. MSRP for the Home Edition (1 year subscription with thumb drive) is $99.95; MSRP for the Business Edition (1 year subscription with thumb drive) is $499.95; and MSRP for the Elite Edition for law enforcement only (1 year subscription with thumb drive) is $499.95.

SurfRecon products can be purchased from http://www.surfrecon.com/ as well as other online and offline retailers.

Think Your Website's Safe From Hackers? Then You Don't Know Jack! BoogieJack.com Shares Story & Tips to Thwart Hack Attacks

Veteran web design writer and home business expert Dennis Gaskill of BoogieJack.com shares his cautionary tale of how a recent hacker attack destroyed his 11-year old business, forcing him to sell his home. Gaskill decided to rebuild, and is offering a free report with tips to safeguard your website, as well as recovery steps to implement in the event your site is breached.

Stevens Point, WI (PRWEB) July 9, 2008 -- As an 11-year veteran of e-commerce, web design writer and home business expert Dennis Gaskill was used to seeing sales slow down in the weeks leading up to the tax filing deadline. At the time, he attributed his sluggish sales to consumer concern over rising oil prices and the overall economy. After a few more weeks of further declining sales, however, it became clear that this was more than a short-term fluctuation. It was only after conducting more extensive research at Google® that Gaskill discovered that something far more sinister was at work.

"I began to search for my site using keywords and phrases for which it has traditionally ranked on the first page or two, but my site had seemingly disappeared," Gaskill explains. "I clicked down into the search results for 50 pages without finding my site for any of my top keywords."

Concerned that his site was no longer listed with the major search engines, Gaskill focused his search for results within his own domain only. The first couple of pages returned results; however, he soon began to see pages listed for his site that he knew he had not created. Gaskill's investigation eventually uncovered hundreds of these pages, for all sorts of things: shoes, porn, celebrities, MP3 downloads, pharmaceuticals, jewelry, sports equipment, and hundreds of other topics unrelated to his website.

Hoping to locate and remove the subject pages, Gaskill next logged into his site via FTP, but found no trace of them there. What he found, hidden in a directory he seldom worked with, was a PHP script. The hacker was utilizing this script in an attempt to siphon traffic from BoogieJack.com, and redirect it elsewhere; but, due to an error in the script, clicks to all of the created links were resulting in a 404, or "file not found" error.

To the search engines, the site now had about 300 good pages, and about 6,000 broken pages. Search engines penalize sites with too many broken links, as this affects the quality of search results. Almost overnight, eleven years' worth of work in building a full-time, successful online business had been completely destroyed.

The devastation to Gaskill, his website, and his family is palpable. "Imagine, if you will, a loss of 60 to 70 percent of your income for a prolonged period of time, with no end to the drop-off in sight," he says. "This would have a very serious impact on almost any business. For us, the bottom line is that we were forced to put our home up for sale."

In a true reflection of his entrepreneurial spirit, Gaskill immediately began rebuilding his site, from the ground up. But he didn't stop there.

Like so many other website owners, Gaskill had never been the victim of a hacker before, and assumed it couldn't happen to him. Now, armed with personal experience, an arsenal of tips, and valuable recovery advice, Gaskill has authored a no-holds barred report that is aimed at helping others avoid a similar fate. Included are 14 points for fortifying your website, along with 8 recovery steps to implement in the event your site is breached.

Given the havoc that this event has wreaked upon Gaskill financially, one might expect a hefty price tag attached to this informational guide. But you'd be wrong. Gaskill is offering the report free of charge to anyone who would like to receive a copy, in hopes that he can help others avoid falling prey to a hacker.

Gaskill explains, "Hackers generally don't target individuals, they target easy marks. With an ever increasing number of these attacks coming from foreign countries, legal recourse is non-existent for most small and home businesses. Prevention is the only real option. If it can happen to someone with 11 years experience in web design who is a published author on the subject, it can happen to anyone."

Gaskill is the author of Web Site Design Made Easy (Third Edition), a web design book now being used as the teaching text in hundreds of colleges, tech schools, and high schools. His award-winning, original content ezine about web design and life design--Almost a Newsletter--was named the Best Ezine of the Year by an independent newsletter review service and also named a Top 3 Ezine in Writer's Digest magazine.

Gilty Couture Combines Fashion with New Apple iPhone 3G for a Winning Combination

"What's your iPhone wearing?" will be the question style conscious consumers are asking this week after the release of the latest Apple iPhone 3G.

Dallas (PRWEB) July 9, 2008 -- "A stunning one-of-a-kind creation, the latest iPhone 3G heralds a new generation of engineering and design that is far ahead of any competition," says John Hubbs, CEO of Gilty Couture. He continues to embrace the new device stating, "The iPhone 3G merges sensible design with an incredible user experience. Apple has listened to the demands of its fans all around the world, building a feature rich mobile device that embodies polished poise and edgy street smarts."

Hubbs believes new pricing makes the Apple iPhone 3G the best value in the history of the mobile phone and handheld device category. And this leaves a lot more room to customize the device with Gilty Couture's newest "accoutrements" for the iPhone 3G.

"The global impact of the iPhone 3G being available in 70 countries will be phenomenal for our international customers as Gilty Couture continues to design for the crossover between technology and fashion," says Hubbs. "Gilty Couture's fearless approach to fashion and art results in distinctively striking, captivating creations, bold patterns, attention to detail and unique materials that will give individuals a way to set their iPhone 3G apart from the 45 million others that are expected to be circling the globe."

Beauty Company Introduces Shampoo for $1,000 per Bottle- Guarantees Love

New salon shampoo guarantees love.

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) July 8, 2008 -- When is a bottle of shampoo worth $1,000? Hal Robb the Managing Director for Nutralove, a Health and Beauty Company stated, "With gas north of $4 per gallon or south of $5 per gallon depending on how you look at it, it seems the only way to justify a bottle of shampoo selling for $1,000 is if we could actually bottle love." Robb claims that he can guarantee that each bottle contains love and not because Nutralove packs each shampoo bottle with nutrients, herbs and vitamins with its patent pending love shot ampoule's but because each $1000 bottle of Love shampoo comes with a $1,000 donation for St Jude's children's hospital.

"Most people talk about love as something to get, we have turned that around into something to give, and no children's charity is more worthy than St Jude's Children's Hospital," according to Robb. St. Jude's is one of the premier pediatrics hospitals in the United States specializing in solutions for cancer and other catastrophic diseases.

"Because each Love shampoo always has an extra, such as our love shot ampoule's stored in each cap that adds fresh and potent herbs and vitamins we have added the entire developments teams signature to each of the limited edition $1,000 bottles of Love shampoo sold during July," commented Karen Parker, General Manager of Nutralove. Additionally, Nutralove is donating 20 percent of the sales price of each shampoo sold online during the month of July.

Nutralove has offices in France, Thailand and the United States and can be reached at 877-918-LOVE or at http://www.nutralove.com/.
