Nintendo DS cards allow the user to play regular games on Nintendo DS or DSi. And they can also allow the consumer use the console as an MP3 player or a movie player. Many new generation cartridges even support reading eBooks and PDFs on the go - So does the Acekard 2i.

The Acekard 2i was released in 2009 while it is updated continually. It is one of the original DS cards existing in the market at present. There are two versions of the firmware: the official firmware released by the Acekard team and the unofficial firmware known as AKAIO which is accepted by the Nintendo DS Homebrew community. From internal tests, NDS-Gear believes that the AKAIO firmware is far superior to the original firmware. The unofficial firmware is updated also extremely frequently,.

NAND Memory

A feature of the Acekard 2i is the use of internal NAND memory. This is a basically memory in the DS card which acts as RAM when a user is playing games or loading applications. It does not completely rely on the free space in the Micro-SD card to shuffle files around or store data temporarily. For this reason, it makes the loading process and general usage of the card extremely fast and rather reliable.

Ak 2i Quality

The manufacturing process and the dimensional controls of the Acekard 2i are quite good, although it is not as perfect as the best cards on the market. However, an Acekard 2i is slightly larger in depth and may have difficulty in fitting into a Nintendo DS Lite console. But these problem only appears to be an issue with less than 1%, and if your Acekard is bought from a reputable retailer such as NDS-Gear who tests all their cards beforehand, you won't got an issue at all. The Acekard 2i is compatible with the regular Nintendo DS as well as the Nintendo DS Lite. It is made to be compatible with Nintendo's newer consoles, the Nintendo DSi and DSi XL,too.

The Acekard 2i uses a spring mechanism to load the Micro-SD card slot which is frowned upon by the users sometimes, because it is not as reliable as a standard push slot. About 2% to 3% of Acekard 2i's have a small problem with the spring, but if you buy the card from a reliable retailer such as NDS-Gear who tests all their cards in advance, you won't got any anxiety.

In general, the quality of the Acekard 2i is good, and it has got an excellent development team behind it, making it one of the biggest selling Nintendo DSi cards until now.

You can Buy Acekard 2i cards from the NDS-Gear website.

Having a slow computer can be very frustrating. If you like me, you are probably trying to do just about everything in order to speed up the process of what it is that you are doing. One of the best ways to do this is to get to your most commonly used applications as quickly as possible. Just think of how much time is wasted when you are looking all over your computer trying to find the applications that you use all of the time.

How much would you save if you were to add it up for a whole week or how about a month? I'm willing to bet that for the average person it would add up to a lot and even if it didn't, being able to get to your programs quicker is just much more convenient. The user interface is something that you use frequently - you might as well spend some time to make it as convenient for you to use.

Let's begine with the quick launch (if you are not sure what the quick launch is, its the group of icons that are right beside your start button). For those of you that don't see a group of small icons right beside your start menu, just right click on the taskbar and select the Properties option. Then just select the "Show Quick Launch" option. Now, in order to do anything you are going to have to unlock the quick launch since it is locked by default. To unlock it, right click on the task bar and select "Lock Taskbar". Now you should see small dotted lines which will allow you to resize it your quick launch. Now all you have to do is to just find the top 3 applications that you frequently use by going through your All Programs list (in the start menu) and then just right click on their icons and select the Copy option. Now go to your desktop, right click and select the Paste option. Now you should see a copy of that icon on your desktop. All you have to do is to just drag it into the quick launch area and the icon should be in bottom right hand corner next to the start menu. So now when start up your computer you don't have to look all over the place for your main programs - there right in front of you now.

Now let's work with the Start menu. If you click on your start menu you will notice that there is a faint horizontal line on the left hand side. Everything that is above this line is permanent unless you manually remove them and below this line are programs that you have most recently used. What you're going to want to do here is to add 3-5 programs that you use regularly to the permanent (the top part) of the list. Just go to the All Programs on the start menu, right click on the program icon and select "Pin To Start Menu". This will then put it on the permanent part of the start menu so that you can quickly get to them without having to search around your messy desktop.

To take it to the next level you can spend some time cleaning up your desktop. A messy desktop can really slow down your ability to find what you are looking for. Delete all files that are unnecessary and put all important files into folders that are organized. You should really only have shortcuts to your applications and maybe a few important folders on your desktop.

Many people who want to add a small camper to their pick up truck discover that there are very few lightweight travel trailers to choose from. The problem is not the diversity of models but the weight, since most of the existing designs are too heavy to get pulled by a car or a pick-up truck. Moreover, a closer look into this matter will convince you that even the RV companies no matter if we are talking about rental companies or dealers have shown little interest in purchasing lightweight travel trailers. The explanation they give is very simple: the demand is lower for such recreational vehicles, and therefore it is not profitable to keep them in stock.

The problem with some lightweight travel trailers is the bathroom since all the plumbing adds up to the overall weight of the vehicle not to mention that the ceiling has to be higher. Therefore, some lightweight travel trailers have a rudimentary form of bathroom or lack it completely. Four types of vehicles fall in the category of lightweight travel trailers: the ultra-lightweights, the fiberglass eggs, the pop-up tent trailers and the teardrop ones.

There are good bits and bad bits about each of these models: thus, the pop-ups are suitable for warmer climates, the fiberglass ones have a specific smell inside because of the materials they are made of, and the teardrops have offer pretty little space.

Lightweight travel vehicles of around 2,000 pounds could be the most money efficient, but that very much depends on what the client aims at for both quality and use. Given the small size, the interior of lightweight travel trailers looks like a small or medium-sized bedroom in the most fortunate of cases, which is between 10 and 12 feet. This should be enough to accommodate a couple, but not for a family. Manufacturers provide the models ready furnished with basic appliances including a basic functional bathroom with or without a shower, a microwave and a stove.

The amenities included as well as the overall features of the vehicle determine the price for new and used lightweight travel trailers; the costs usually reach $10,000 or somewhere around this figure. The manufacturing year and the technical inspection remain key points to check when you want to purchase a second-hand recreational vehicle. In the absence of a dealer in your local area, check online for more comprehensive resources. The databases you consult should be updated, otherwise you may be looking at items that are no longer in stock.

Terminator 2 - Judgment Day has stood the test of time as one of the most fun science fiction/action movies to come out. The movie takes a premise that is so simple, yet so complex, and blends it with some amazing cinematography. The acting is a little campy at some points, but it only serves to add to the charm of the movie.

The story takes a small group of people, the Conners and the original Terminator, and pits them against a much more powerful force. The T-1000 is as indestructible to the original Terminator as he was to the Conners when he first showed up in the first movie.

The heroes are trying to save the world from a global take over from the soon to be sentient machines. Sarah decides that it is possible to change the future, and goes on a quest to destroy the person that originally designed the terminators. They think that they have won by the end of the movie, but it turns out that they only delayed the, apparently, inevitable.

A large part of this movie deals with aspects of fate and destiny. People can change the future, things don't have to be the way they were going to be. It can be changed. This is a message that could be applied to some things that people are talking about in our current political climate. Environmentalists could take that message and say "we don't have to destroy the planet. We can still save it. We can make a difference."

One thing that gets overlooked in this movie is part of what it is saying about the mental health system in the United States. The audience knows that she isn't crazy, but no one in the movie seems to agree with that statement. As far as they are concerned she is completely gone.

Everyone in the movie treats her like she is insane, at least in the beginning of the movie. This might be saying something about the state of mental health care systems. Even though her story is true, everyone treats her like she has a mental illness. She knows that she is a sitting duck in that hospital, as well, so she has some violent tendencies and wants to escape to help her son. This only furthers their theory that she is simply insane and not someone who is, in reality, trying to train the savior of the human race for what is going to be coming his way when he grows up.

John Conner is supposed to be the great savior of mankind when he grows up. Yet at the time of this movie he is just a kid who has had a bizarre upbringing and is starting to get into a life of crime (stealing from ATM machines). John doesn't actually know that what his mom has told him is true anymore than the mental health professionals think its true.

Strangely, without those robots showing up in Terminator 2 - Judgment day, there would be a very different story. Instead of a story rife with adventure and excitement, it would be a story of a boy being raised by a crazy woman who is teaching him to be a militant. There would be a lot of issues that could follow this, but with the Terminators showing up it ends up being a story that is more action than a sad story of modern day life for a broken family.

No matter where you are looking for information on car rental matters of opinion is always the same, book early to save money. Although this is the rule and is always a good idea to have a car booked well in advance of your trip can be booked in advance can actually end up costing more. There can be no savings in the final minutes of hire.

However, if your trip falls at a time as popular as around a holiday you probably will not find any last minute deals. Even if you have already made a reservation, it is always a good idea to shop around again just a few days before you going to travel again, the line types. You can only find that rates have decreased considerably since the period of time when you made your reservation with good reason.

Car rental companies base their rates on the number of cars that they anticipate renting during a specific time period. When they are only a few days away from a weekend and they still find that they have a lot of cars still available they will attempt to cut the rates significantly to try and get all their vehicles rented out. A car that is sitting on the lot is not bringing them in any money so even if they rent this vehicle to you at a discount they will be making more than just allowing that vehicle to sit.

This is why checking around at the last minute may be to your benefit. Most reservations can be cancelled without penalty with 24 hours notice so this still allows you to change your reservation with no penalty. If you find that the company you have reserved with has lowered their rates then ask them to give you the lower rate. Some may make you cancel your original reservation and then rebook while others will just switch the rate on the reservation. Either way you will find that the savings you will receive is well worth this small additional effort.

Last minute reservations can save you money but not always. It is still the best idea to make your initial reservation well in advance and then rearrange it at the last minute if you find a better deal. Getting the best deals may require a little bit of patience but in the end if you get that rental vehicle for less you will be a happy camper.

It is very easy to think of a rental car when traveling long distances or arriving on a flight to an international destination, but there are other reasons why we could rent a car. A rental car can help you make an impression if you are attending a special event or meeting.

Upon entering the parking lot in a car with super class or a flashy sports car might help to get attention and make you appear to have. It is not uncommon for people to do this when they attend high school or college meeting and want to impress others with symbols of their success and show how far we have come from as far back then.

Dating is another moment that some people choose to rent a car when they really want to impress someone new. Although, with the timing, if all goes well you will probably see that person again if this is not always the best choice if you do know they will not learn more about your car in less than wonderful driveway at home. What works best in a long distance relationship or you'll be to make this situation a long term lease.

Many people also going to rent a car when attending a seminar that relates to your business or when it comes to making a presentation to some business partners. It is important to make a good impression and the more you look the more likely you will be able to sell your product or services.

A vehicle is not just a mode of transportation but a status symbol and many car rental companies maintain an elite fleet of cars, in part for just such occasions. Rent and drive a car that speaks of his success can help build the confidence necessary to make a good impression with those who are meeting with. The use of a superior line of vehicles to yourself to have a major life event can really help make you feel like you're on top of the world, and now they say they pretend to do so, you'll be well on your way to the success they truly deserve. It is not just a vehicle, with a mentality that says I can make it happen.

When a London company announced several years ago that it was offering the first legal service to Watch Resident Evil Afterlife Movie Online for Free, video store owners around the world began worrying about their future.

After all, average citizens all have a larcenous streak. Why not get something for free? A key reason is that downloading movies on the internet without paying is illegal -- a violation of a number of federal laws. Don't feel any risk? Remembers the very public examples that law enforcement made of unauthorized music downloaders several years ago? So, if you are downloading movies illegally, ask yourself if you really want to hear your name on the cable news shows?

And here's another prediction: the illegal download sites will boom as well. Why not download for free? One major reason is that it's illegal. Law enforcement made very public examples of a number of illegal music downloaders several years ago. Do you really want to see your name in the headlines? Terrible quality is another reason. Viruses are also common with free online movie downloads. The jerks that create viruses have to dream up clever ways to spread them.

Just a few months ago, somebody sitting at their home computer uploaded a high-quality copy of a newly released film onto a certain illegal person-to-person file-sharing network. Within weeks, that one file had been downloaded by 30,408 people on six continents. Dozens of other illegal copies of the movie found their way onto the hard drives of many thousands more.

Today China is the capital of movie piracy. Indeed, within hours of a film being released nationwide in the U. S., illegal DVD copies are available on the street in Shanghai and Beijing. About 90 percent of DVDs sold in China are bootlegs, according to the Motion Picture Association of America. Why? Because China puts quotas on the number of foreign films allowed into the country -- and carefully screens them, making sure nothing gets in that would spread dangerous ideas such as free speech or democracy. In Iran, every film must pass approval by Muslim morals police. The same restrictions apply in Saudi Arabia and throughout the Islamic world - and in Burma, Cuba and North Korea. So in each of those nations, movie pirates are feeding a hunger for freedom that dictators have tried to quash.

So, yes, Hollywood will be smart to continue adapting today's ever-changing technologies. Several studios have worked out a deal with a file-sharing site that rents movies, which can be downloaded, but which self-destruct after viewing! Where will that go? Only time will tell.

Pirate successes are worth careful study. They do point to untapped opportunity. Not so many years ago, Hollywood actually fought the idea of marketing videotaped movies. The big studios feared that people would stay at home rather than go to their local cinema. They were wrong, however. Home viewing has expanded Hollywood's reach. Today many new releases are never screened at a theater, but instead go directly to home video.

Some of the planet's biggest DVD counterfeiters are in China -- whose bootlegged discs have been identified in more than 25 nations worldwide. You can expect these same pirates to exploit the internet. But Hollywood would be smart to study their successes and figure out how customers wanting to Download Resident Evil Afterlife Movie Online Free can make moviemakers a lot of money.

With so many choices in home entertainment, you really have to be careful what you buy into. Sure, technology changes all the time, and by the time you pick something out, the new stuff might already be making its way to the store shelves. But that doesn't mean that you can't get good stuff and have a good experience. You just have to decide what is important and what your needs are and make an educated decision.

Take video game consoles as an example. There are three major players in the game, Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony. They all want you to pick them for your video game and multi-media needs and wants. They all offer something different, although Sony and Microsoft are trying to tap into Nintendo's share of the motion control market.

Many people looked at Nintendo with much doubt and skepticism when they announced their plans of a motion control based video game system and many people thought that it was going to be a complete and utter failure. Surprisingly to many, it has become a huge success and outsells the other consoles consistently. Now, Sony and Microsoft want to tap into the market and are both introducing their own versions of motion control based games and add-ons to their systems. It could be too little too late for both companies, but many people will be torn on whether to invest in the new gadgets or just let them pass by.

They all want a piece of your wallet and it can be difficult to decide what the best one to invest in is. Most people are not going to be able to buy all three machines and all of the things that go with them. If you have to choose only one, it is best to look at the games and decide which ones look most appealing to you and your family.

Also, unless you are a tech-head and have to have the newest gadget on the day it is released, wait just a little while and see what sticks around. If something is bad and the market decides it doesn't want it, like HD-DVD, you don't want to be stuck with obsolete hardware that they are not producing software for anymore. Just like a new car model, you need to wait until the second phase is rolled out and not jump on the bandwagon until they iron out the kinks.

When you are watching television, you want the best picture quality and the best sound that is possible. That means that you have to have a high definition television. Many people have already made the switch to high def, but if you haven't, there are a few things to consider.

First, you need to know where the television will go. In this way, the size and resolution may be taken into account. If you need a little less than thirty-two inches, then you can go with a 720p you do not strengthen in 1080 because the untrained eye can not tell the difference on smaller screens. Nothing larger but you must climb the highest resolution, and be sure to get a model that has multiple HDMI. You will need at least three for any growth and new components. If you do not have enough entries, you will regret later. You'll need an HDMI input on your cable or satellite, because you want to upgrade your service to HD. It is useless to watch TV in standard definition on an HDTV.

It is like good wine inking a plastic cup. It makes no sense. You'll also need an HDMI input for a Blu-ray or a video game console and surround sound system. You'll definitely need a surround sound system for movies and HDTV broadcasts. There is nothing like watching Shark Week on Discovery HD. It completely changes the experience and makes it even better than it has ever been.

Once you go high definition, will never be able to view regular television. In fact, if your friends have not upgraded yet, you will find yourself making excuses to get people to your house to watch TV. Another advantage to having an impressive high-definition in your living room is that you do not have to go to the movies anymore. You do not have to deal with the hassle and expense of going to the theater.

No more talking teenagers or jerks with their cell phones ringing at a crucial plot point. No more having to walk to the lobby to go to the restroom and missing good parts of the movie. You can even sit on your own couch and don't have to invite anyone over if you don't want to.

Many people choose the auto auction as the good way to promise the fee of repair. when most people pay to get damage to their cars repaired, there are some who spend their money to buy damaged cars. There is one simple reason for this - nothing is as cheap to buy as a damaged car; it may be available at a fraction of the cost of the equivalent new or even second had car.

If you have the interest and inclination to get involved in car restoration, then this could be the best way to get the kind of car you want for a fraction of what it would otherwise cost you. Buying from a damaged auto auction is very different from a general auction - the bidder has to balance his bidding with the expected restoration cost so that the final on the road price of the car is within his budget.

If you are one of those no knowledge of automobile mechanics, stay away from damaged auto auctions - while you may be able to buy a damaged car very cheap, without being able to understand the nature of repairs, you will not be able to control the restoration costs and this will make the whole exercise futile because the end result will be a car that costs more than you expected it to. The first thing to do is to study the list of cars available at a damaged auto auction and make a short list of the ones that interest you - this should be based on the type of car, the nature of the damage and the cost and effort of repair.

The cost and availability of spares for many older makes may be an issue so check on this before finalizing your shortlist. Get second opinions about the nature of the repairs required so that you can be sure that you have not bitten off more than you can chew - this involves getting an expert to inspect the cars you have short listed along with you. Once you have the cars and the repair costs available, make sure that an equivalent undamaged car would not be cheaper that what you will be spending.

Once you are sure that the economics of buying from a damaged auto auction makes sense, make sure that you do not let your self get involved in bidding wars and spend more than you planned - this will affect the final restored price of the car and could make to whole effort a waste of time. If you are willing to take all the time and trouble needed to restore a damaged car, you should be able to have a safe reliable car that will give you years of reliable service.

This movie represents the extend people, and even inanimate objects go to keep friendship alive. Imagine the intensity that must be put into this process in creating animated characters expressing friendship and love. In order for the viewers to "believe" what is going on, the director must analyze each movement made.

A small robot named "Wall-e" embarks on a journey through space which could end up changing the ultimate decision and fate of mankind. The reason he goes on this foreign journey is because of the attraction he feels toward another robot. He met a female robot named "Eve" and fell head over hills for her immediately. When she leaves for the future, he quickly follows behind.

Downloading a YouTube movie is legal. The producers of the films have agreed to allow YouTube downloading rights to certain films. They are doing this because the "pay per download" experiment they did was successful. Because of agreements like this, movie downloading is increasing world wide.

We all value our entertainment time. It will be nice to watch movie downloads in the comforts of home rather than spending your money renting DVDs. Movie downloading is a great new option.

If you have dry eyes, contact lenses may be a nightmare. With healthy eyes, a very thin layer of tears will always form under the contact lens. When this layer starts to dry out however, the lens will begin to feel dry. Dry eyes from contact can be very irritating, uncomfortable, and lead you to try to squinch or rub your eyes to seek relief.

Even though contact lenses are indeed a cause of dry others, there are other causes as well, one of which being your natural ability to produce years. Some people will produce less tears than others, which can indeed be a problem when wearing contact lenses. As you get older, the tears that you are able to produce will begin to decrease.

The environment is another cause. If you work in a factory or area that is over heated, or exposed to dust or smoke, your eyes will start to dry out. The more your eyes are exposed to these types of situations, the more dry they will become. After a few hours, you may find yourself having to remove your contacts due to the dryness becoming so irritating.

There are however, some types of contact lenses that can contribute to dryness as well. A majority of contact lenses are made of water and polymers, most being more than 50% water. Even though the contact is moist and may feel comfortable in your eye, the water will start to evaporate from the contact lens as you wear it. When this happens, the contact will draw moisture from the tears in your eyes, which results in dryness. If the contact lens contains a lot of water, then it is almost guaranteed to lose moisture throughout the day.

With dryness being a common problem for most people who wear contact lenses, manufacturers are always working to create contacts that will remain comfortable throughout the day. Dry eyes are the most common reason for irritation, and the main reason as to why people decide to give up contacts and just go with glasses to correct their vision.

Out of all the different contacts on the market, Acuvue Oasys are among the most popular. Although they are relatively new, they are specifically made for those who work or live in dry environments. These contacts contain a special agent for re-wetting purposes, which enables the contact lens to remain moist, even if your eyes aren't producing enough tears. They are daily wear contacts, and should be soaked in solution at night and replaced every two weeks or so.

Even though there are other contact lenses out there that are great for dry eyes, Acuvue are considered to be the best brand. No matter which type of contact lens you wear, you should always take care of them. You should always clean them once removed, and soak them in solution at night. This way, you'll remove the protein build up and ensure that you are putting clean contact lenses back into your eyes.

Even though dry eyes are very common, you can always help to rectify the situation by using right pair of contacts. You can also get re-wetting or saline drops as well, to put in your eyes when they start to feel dry. These drops are the preferred way of dealing with dry and irritable eyes, as they help to produce enough moisture for comfort. You can buy re-wetting or saline drops at most department stores - and they cost a little of nothing.

In a NFL preseason game characterized by rainy weather, sloppy field conditions and a quick exit for both teams starters, the Miami Dolphins outlasted their in-state rivals the Jacksonville Jaguars by a 12-9 score. Only one touchdown was scored in the game, which was a battle of field goal kickers until the third quarter. Miamis game winning score came on a 33 yard touchdown strike from Chad Henne to tight end Ernest Wilford.

Miami's Ernest Wilford recently converted to tight end from wide receiver, and gave the football an emphatic spike after his game winning touchdown reception:

"There's a sense of urgency for me. I want to play well this year. It's a good start. That was a lot of frustration right there. I didn't play that much last year, so I had to let it out."

Dolphins QB Henne, who is being groomed as the heir apparent to starter Chad Pennington, was pleased with his first effort of the NFL preseason:

"Overall I thought I played pretty well. I got some points on the board and had us moving."

Jacksonville QB David Garrard gave a fairly standard assessment of his teams opening game performance:

"We have to get better at some of the protection issues. I have to make sure I get everybody lined up in the right spots."

Free agent acquisition Tory Holt was happy with his first reception in a Jacksonville uniform:

"I had been anticipating this day for a long time. I enjoyed it and it was a lot of fun. I am looking forward to many more."

Despite the loss, Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio was generally upbeat about his teams effort:

"We are going to be physical up front. I liked what we did up front."

Not surprisingly given the tempo of the game, the most heated battle for a starting spot was between the Dolphins placekickers. Current PK Dan Carpenter made a 48 yard fieldgoal and a PAT, while his challenger Connor Barth hit a 28 yard FG.

Jacksonville will host their other NFL rival from the state of Florida on Saturday as they welcome the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to town. Miami will remain at home as they take on the Carolina Panthers.

Before you take the step to have a permanent tattoo affixed for your body, you have to first carry out some thorough thinking. Think about that any tattoo will be with you throughout yourself and is extremely expensive or painful to get rid of. Choose the positioning of the tattoo on your own body meticulously. It could be smart to wear a non-permanent tattoo for a while to make sure that the tattoo you are getting is exactly the right size and design you need.

Tattoos are reasonably painful to obtain, but you may stop the tattooist anytime through the procedure, and soon you feel ready to go on again. Some people feel pain more acutely than others. Many people feel inclined to have another tattoo soon - that is an indication with the bear ability with the pain. Large tattoos are carried out during a period of time, to provide the wearer time for it to rest after each session. And yes, if the tattooist perforates skin, you will see moderate bleeding. It is a great idea to be well rested before your first tattoo!

Expensive or Cheap? Good tattoos can very expensive BUT nothing looks worse that a botched up tattoo. My advice is to decide on an expert artist in a tattoo parlor, pay the extra amount and make certain you get quality that may work for a lifetime. Your tattoo artist should use a transfer sheet to transfer the image onto your body before starting to provide on the colors...

Hygiene? Going in conjunction with selecting a professional tattooist, is making sure that your tattoo is done with all the hygienic safety precautions in place. A professional tattooist will show and show you all the safety precautions which have been taken. It is a great idea to shop around beforehand to be able to eliminate dodgy tattooists. See our article about safety precautions.

Aftercare ought to be prescribed to get rid of infection from the wounds and allow proper healing. In some countries underage tattooing is not allowed and special permission needs to be inclined to tattoo mentally incapable people. It's advised to use well trained and professional tattoo artists and precaution must be taken by the client to make sure that tattooing is done only under the most hygienic circumstances. The responsibility ultimately lies with the client to make sure that all the safety precautions are adhered to. Click here for link to tattooing equipment for sale there are no hard and fast rules concerning immediate aftercare of a tattoo. It is advised though, to keep it as sterile as possible while it heals. Specially developed tattoo ointments are recommended, but there is consensus that gentle cleaning with soap and water is recommended. Gentle anti bacterial ointment can be applied if the special tattoo ointments are not available.

Care must be taken not to use too much water for rinsing, though as this could also wash out tattoo inks or soften scabs before they naturally fall off. If a tattoo gets infected, the chance of distortion of the image is very good due to the formation of scar tissue and the loss of pigments. Two of the tattoo taboos are to remove scabs before the skin sheds them naturally and exposure to the sun is not advised. Tattoos frequently exposed to the sun will also have to be redone or touched up sooner than those not exposed - so stay out the sun - even after your tattoo has healed! Picking off scabs will remove the ink as well before it has set in and the sun tends to bleach tattoo inks. A tattoo looks at its best when the maximum ink remains embedded in the skin.

Keeping a tattoo moisturized for the first two months after the first week of initial healing will keep your tattoo looking better for longer as the tattooed area tends to become very dry during this stage. Keeping it moisturized will also prevent scabbing and scarring. Allergic reactions to tattoo inks have been reported, but are very rare. It is recommended that a small patch of skin is subjected to the ink, before attempting a tattoo, especially facial tattoos, such as make-up tattoos. A program was introduced in Canada to legalize Prison tattooing. Inmates are trained and equipped with the right instruments to do tattooing properly - eliminating the chances of infection and disease spreading.

The Detroit Lions nineteen game losing streak is over. On Sunday afternoon at Ford Field in Detroit the Lions held on for a 19-14 win over the Washington Redskins. The Lions hadn't won a game since December 23, 2007 and had already tied the second longest losing streak in NFL history. It may not have been pretty, but the streak is now over and the Lions wont have to worry about comparisons to the 1976-77 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who lost a record 26 games in their first two seasons as an NFL expansion team.

If you were going to bet on a NFL football game this past weekend, the Lions may not have been the most attractive position. Sports betting enthusiasts who took Detroit as a +6 home favorite were rewarded with the outright victory. It was the Lions first pointspread cover of the 2009 NFL season, while the Redskins have yet to get the money for their backers this year. The 33 points went UNDER the posted total of 39.

Lions owner William Clay Ford said in postgame comments that he hopes the end of the streak signals a new winning tradition in the Motor City:

"We not only got the monkey off our back, we got King Kong off our back. I'm hoping that this gets us over that hump and gives us a winning attitude."

Longtime Lion Dominic Raiola has played in Detroit for his entire nine year career, and he too expressed his relief that the streak had come to an end:

"I've always watched, but I've never been in this situation before. No team has been in this situation before. No one has gone 0-16 and then had to try to win a game the next year."

Rookie QB Matthew Stafford had the best game of his young career, throwing for 241 yards on 21 of 36 passing with a touchdown and no interceptions. He gave his thoughts on the late game anticipation that preceded Detroit finally putting one in the win column:

"I'm having fun. It's a great game we get to play. I figured I'd just let the crowd noise tell me what happened. When it got really quiet, I couldn't take it, so I looked up, and saw them running, and then the tackle, and then I saw the clock was at zero."

Detroit will try to start an actual winning streak next weekend as they take on the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. The Bears are 11 point favorites in that contest. Detroit will host the Pittsburgh Steelers the following weekend before a road trip to Green Bay and game against the Packers on October 18th. Washington will host Tampa Bay next Sunday, with the Redskins a -7 home favorite. They'll play at Carolina on October 11th and then return home for a game against Kansas City the following weekend.

So, you need to know about tattoo after care because you decide to get a new tattoo!

It might be your first time, or it may be your tenth time, but in every case, you should review your tattoo after care instructions prior to getting your new tattoo. You might wonder about the logic about going through the instructions before getting your new tattoo, but it is like baking a cake, you just don't want to make any mistakes with these instructions because new tattoos are open wounds and susceptible to infection.

You must be attentive to your new tattoo, and keep it as clean as possible to ensure it heals as cleanly as possible so you prevent infection and get the nicest looking tattoo possible.

While the healing stages of a tattoo will be as unique to each individual with there being people nowadays, the tattoo healing process does follow a general pattern. The specifics of each tattoo's healing process depends on the different skin type of the individual, the position of the tattoo figure, an the techniques of the tattoo artist. These factors can all cause a variance in the healing process from person to person.

You will end up given aftercare instructions by your tattoo artist. These aftercare instructions differ from artist to artist. My recommendation to you is if uncertain about anything, always get back on your tattoo artist before seeking the assistance of a doctor. Your tattoo artist can have a look at your tattoo and tell how to proceed if there is a problem to correct any healing problems.

If your tattoo artist cannot help, they should send you for medical attention from a doctor. If they do not, then of course, you must go yourself to make certain that your health is not at risk. Here is the responsibility.

Many times doctors aren't aware about tattoos and will prescribe unnecessary medications that may harm your tattoo's healing process. Some doctors may even be biased against tattoos. That's the reason I suggest that you go to the tattoo artist first if you suspect there is a healing problem with your new tattoo. The artist works with tattoos day in and day out and knows the best way to heal their work.

When you leave the tattoo studio, you will find a bandage on your new tattoo to protect it from outside contact. This bandage should be removed 2- 3 hours after getting your tattoo. Your tattoo may bleed a little for the first 24 hours, remember, your new tattoo is akin to an open wound.

Before you remove your bandage, make sure to wash your hands with soap and warm water, in between the fingers, and under the fingernails. Then dry your hands with a clean paper towel. Don't use any old towel that is laying on it, or possibly a clean towel as lint may be transferred to your hands.

Be sure to have not let a large amount of blood dry on your bandage so that it sticks. Be very, very gentle as you remove your bandage so as not to start the tattoo bleeding again. If you just rip off your bandage, you can mess up the appearance of your new tattoo, and ensure do that, now do you?

Wash your tattoo gently, very gently with anti-bacterial water and soap to clean it. Do not scrub your tattoo, avoid the use of a washcloth, or anything else other than your fingers or hand to clean the tattoo. Do not rub, but "pat" the tattoo as you wash it. Then, if you are finished, pat the tattoo dry with a clean dry paper towel. Or, use clean toilet paper even, without any paper towels on hand.

Let your tattoo air dry for 15 minutes or so. This will promote healing.

After your tattoo has dried, apply a few drops of Emu Oil to your tattoo. The presence of efa's along with the hyper-oxygenation of Emu Oil naturally increases the circulation to the applied area which explains why Emu Oil works so well and so quickly to heal.

Although it is an oil, it has been proved that Emu Oil does not clog pores (unlike most commercially made tattoo aftercare products that are petroleum based), therefore allowing the skin to breathe during the healing process. Emu Oil penetrates through all seven layers on the skin and is rich in nutrients (efa's) that feed the skin to aid in new cell development that can hasten the healing process. Emu Oil is also a natural emollient keeping the skin moist and pliable.

The application of the Emu Oil immediately after the tattoo has been cleaned will also relieve the discomfort and reduce the inflammation and redness of the new tattoo. Emu Oil will help set the new colors due to its deep penetrating properties and will help reduce plasma oozing.

Using Emu Oil 2-3 times a day after repeating the cleaning process while the tattoo heals will keep the area moist reducing or eliminating the flaking or scabbing that often occurs as new tattoos heal. Emu Oil can prevent the need for touch ups which saves the artist time and money, and makes for a happy tattoo customer.

New tattoos will look red and swollen immediately following the tattoo procedure. The tattoo will continue to appear this way a couple of days throughout the tattoo healing process. Within a week to ten days the skin surrounding the tattoo should be more normal again - most tattoos are completely healed in three weeks time.

Even though it is healing it is crucial not to do the following things or you may damage your tattoo:

- Do Not scratch your new tattoo

- Do Not pick at your new tattoo

- Do Not expose your tattoo to sunlight or tanning beds under any circumstances

- No swimming, hot tubs or baths the first two weeks after getting your new tattoo

- Do Not shave the tattooed area for around 30 days following the tattoo procedure

- Only touch your tattoo with clean hands, do not let others touch your tattoo

Not only is Emu Oil good for healing new tattoos, it is good for restoring older, aged, sun damaged tattoos as well. This is a result of the natural hyper-oxygenation of Emu Oil which brings blood and oxygen to the surface on the skin. This, coupled with Emu Oil's ability to moisturize through all seven layers on the skin, allows users to see quick results when the oil is applied to older tattoos.

With the proper care of your tattoo before it starts, there's no reason why you shouldn't enjoy the beauty of your tattoo for life.

Mark A Cella and His Favorite 60's era Ferrari 250 SWB Berlinetta

Before the Berlinetta or Sport Coupe, is the Ferrari 250 GTO. What made the GTOs strong were the record braking V12 GT racing engines. GTO, or Gran Turismo Omologato, translated from Italian, meaning Grand Touring Homologated, and homologated is Official Agreement. 250 is the measurement of cubic centimeters inside each cylinder.

Mark A Cella's Official Agreement is the 250 is all Race

The SWB was built from 1953 to 1964 and really put Ferrari in the limelight. It became Ferrari's most successful car line of that time. It was their first all wheel disc brake vehicle. One model was their first four seater. Its V12 engine weighed about half as much as the competition's. The higher tuned ones hammered up to 280bhp at 7,000 rpm. They had a four speed manual tranny, all of which exploded the car to more victories then I can list, here's just a few:

1960 Le Mans 24 hr race, it took 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th, while Chevy and Aston Martin were far behind. It won three repeat 5500 km Tour de Frances, while taking 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the 1960 event. That season driver Sterling Moss lapped the entire field at Goodwood to take the second consecutive win. SWB won all over in England, Monza Italy, Spa, Nurbrgring, and Monthlery.

Weighing only 2,314 pounds gives the Ferraris 250 SWB Competizione a great power to weight ratio. Maximum speed was a little over 150 mph, and 0-60 was 6.2. Excellent numbers for 1960's.

Mark A Cella Officially Agrees One of the Greatest Ferraris of all Time

It is said that owners of this car had the luxury and thrill of being able to drive it to the race track, unload their luggage and be ready to race with minimal or no modifications. Just place their numbers on the sides and race. Although the competition models did have an extra 30-40 horsepower and other modifications like shorter wheel base, and aluminum vs. steal, not much could help most other manufacturers.

Motor Trend gave the 250 SWB the ranking of 5th out of ten of the Greatest Ferraris of all time. Sports Car International rated it 7th Top Sports Car of the 1960's. Mark Cella rates it his first place 1960's era Muscle Car, followed by the 1967 Corvette Sting Ray and 1968 Chevy Camaro.

Avenue Productions What to Look for in Modeling Agencies

It's a total myth that anyone looking to find work as a model or actor has to jet off to New York or sunny Southern California. Why, you can follow the palms to Southern Florida and find a chance to get yourself in print ads and commercials, on runways, and even in television, film, and music videos. The trick is to find the right people to help you on your way.

Modeling and talent agencies are all over the place, that's for sure. But many don't have, shall we say, your best interests at heart. They're looking for your money, mainly. Your success is not necessarily a priority for them. Which means for you: do your research.

Avenue Productions Reviews How to Find Top Modeling Agencies

Any agency you work with should be fully licensed. If the agency has been around for at least 15 or 20 years, that's a good sign they are legitimate. If an agency asks for a signing or registration fee up front, go the other way. Check out the clients the agency has worked with -- if you see names you recognize, you're in good shape. "Target" and "Reebok" are fine names to recognize. "Frank's After-Hours Bagel and Auto Parts" should probably throw up a red flag.

A good model and talent agency will help you figure out what's best for you, whether it's in print ads or on that new TV show. And the film industry is everywhere. In Southern Florida, shows like the USA Network hit "Burn Notice" and Fox's new drama "The Glades" are always looking for talent. Reputable agencies will have the in with those casting directors. Heck, you might even find yourself dodging pyrotechnics in a music video.

Avenue Productions Reviews Top Modeling Agencies

And listen: don't get intimidated by the thought that all models are exotic and foreign. Good agencies like to work with everyday people of all ages and experience levels. Which makes sense. Those are the kinds of people we see everyday, so that's who we expect to see in our ads and favorite programs. We the people want to relate to the people who are selling us sweaters ... or getting involved in action-packed crime dramas.

Lastly, look for a talent agency that'll help you get started. It's a truism as old as talent itself that anybody looking to get into the business needs headshots. Model composites. A sense of what kind of work to be seeking. Because no agency, hear me now, can guarantee work. But some can give you a better boost than others.

Are you looking for something a bit different for your wedding than the usual DJ blaring out cheesy songs? Then searching for wedding music bands on the internet may be just what you are looking for.

Good wedding music bands will play all of the songs you request on your wedding day. If you request songs they have never played, a decent band will be able to learn the new songs and should be more than happy to do so.

Wedding music bands traditionally play a wide variety of songs so they can please the wide variety of guest that will be in attendance. They play jazz, rock, pop, and soul and well as chart toppers from the 60s through today. If you have a particular favorite band, you may even be able to hire a tribute band that will play all of their popular songs.

Once you know what kind of music you want played at your wedding, it is time to start interviewing wedding music bands. How do you go about doing that? A good place to start is by searching on the internet using Google.

It is probably a good idea to steer clear of cheap bands. Instead, search for experienced wedding music bands that have a website or page on MySpace or Facebook. They should have mp3s or videos that you can use to sample their style.

Most bands will be with a reputable agent. As with any serious purchase you should check out any past reviews the band have got and if you cannot find any ring some of the previous venues they have been to, that way you will have some idea of how good they are.

Expect to pay a reasonable amount for a good band. What they quote you may sound like a lot of money but you probably already spent money trying to make the day special why skimp on the entertainment? This too is something you want to remember for the rest of your life for the right reasons.

There is more to arranging your wedding music than just booking the band. First of all, you need to make sure the venue you have selected is a good fit for a live band and that they are licensed for live music.

One you have determined the songs you want and that the venue is a good one for a live band, it is time to book your chosen band. Remember, most good wedding music bands are going to be booked well into the future so you don't want to wait until the last minute or you might miss out.

So, you are having a party. Planning can be tough, but one area that can make it easier is whether to hire a Disc Jockey or to book a band. While pretty much everything else you do has many choices, this area only has 2 options. Do you want live music or listen to recordings that you and all of your guests hear all day, every day? There are benefits to each choice, but live music is ultimately the better option.

A DJ has become the most recent choice, but not always for the right reasons. Of course they are the easiest choice, because they show up, turn on the music and the party starts. However, there are major limitations that hiring live entertainers can eliminate.

Booking a live band offers other options that can make your party the function of the year!! A live band brings more flavor and more opportunities than just having songs played. When you hire a band, especially if they are familiar with the type of function you are planning, they will likely be more prepared and have more of the songs in their repertoire than a Disc Jockey.

When you hire a live band there is generally less of a challenge regarding your locations sound system. They will arrive with amplifiers and microphones in tow and after they set up, the music is ready to go. After a couple of sound checks, the music starts and the party is started. You have to consider the flavor of your party, but with a band, if you have chosen a theme, the band can dress the part and be more involved in your decor.

Let us compare how your party will differ with live music. Although a DJ can act as a Master of Ceremonies, the leader of the band is more likely to be able to lead your party. There is a different sound quality and performance level with live music, as you may be listening to the next winner of American Idol, in lieu of hearing the original artist sing a song your guests have listened to thousands of times on the radio. The live band may have different and entertaining arrangements of songs that have been or are current hits and your guests will enjoy the diversity.

Finding groups that suit your needs may be a little tougher, but in the long run, their presence will have a bigger impact on the party than anyone else. There are agents that will direct you to venues where local talent is playing. You get to see them in action to determine their sound, how they interact with the customers and their personalities. A DJ is really at a location to do nothing more than spin records, although now it is more of anything but records, and is not really there as entertainment.

If budget is a major hurdle, you may be limited with your choices and perhaps a DJ will be less expensive, but the overall performance and appreciation from your guests will justify the additional expense. Consider if there are times when songs are being done as part of the party. In other words, perhaps a first dance or introductions. A live band will be able to handle all of those circumstances easier than constantly interrupting a recording.

All in all, if you book a band gives you more options. Your guests will enjoy hearing a great band play than hearing someone spin songs that they hear everyday. Traditionally, live music will produce more people on the dance floor and your party will have the flavor that you intended and people will all have a great time.

With the sluggish economy, the phrase pre owned car dealer Abington MA has increased in popularity. More and more people are looking to buy a pre-owned vehicle as opposed to a brand new car. If you are such an individual there are several things to keep in mind when you're shopping for your new (buy used) vehicle.

When you step on the lot do not show your excitement about a car that you spotted. Talking about your attachment to a car in front of a salesperson lessens your negotiating power. Keeping your emotions in check will help you keep a clear mind on the things you want to achieve (like buying a car at a good deal).

You should have an idea of what kind of car you're looking to buy before you head out to any dealership. This will help prevent overspending and buying a car that doesn't suit your driving needs. When you walk into a dealership not knowing what kind of car you want means you're leaving your options too open.

In order to avoid making such a mistake, assess your driving needs. Ask yourself what you'll be using the car for. What kind of mileage you'll be getting on the vehicle. Also think about insurance costs.

Keep in mind that you are more likely to get a better deal on a car if you have the cash to pay it off up front. If you can not pay the entire cost of the car off in cash, you may want to think about alternative financing beyond the car dealers financing. Check out what kind of deal you can get from a bank or local credit union.

When you're looking for a loan, make sure to choose the shortest term you can afford. This will help prevent the purchase of a car that's outside of your budget. Just because you can afford the monthly payments doesn't mean if fits into your budget for the ultimate value of the car you want to buy.

Since pre owned car dealer Abington MA has found renewed popularity among consumers, it pays to do your homework. Remember, have an idea of what kind of vehicle you want to buy. Keep the whole picture in mind including insurance costs, gas mileage and your driving needs and not your emotional attachment to a particular vehicle in mind when making your purchase.

Initially receiving attention at Los Angeles' Screamfest, the small budget independent film entitled Paranormal Activity sat on the shelf for almost two years until Paramount Pictures took the reins and edited the film's conclusion.

Rumor has it that Steven Spielberg enjoyed this movie and even helped shape its ultimate ending.

The movie is based around Katie and Micah. Katie and Micah are deeply in love with each other, even though they have some slight relationship porblems.

As the movie begins the couple is relocating to San Diego. Soon the couple realizes that there is something wrong in the their new home. They begin to believe that the home is haunted, and then Katie tells another story. A story of a poltergeist that may have have killed her sister in the past.

This idea does not seem realistic to Micah, so he devises a plan to get to the bottom of the occurences. With the help of his video camera he begins to record the home at night.

The results are not what Micah expects. The tape shows a ghost in the home and Micah concludes that antagonizing the ghost is a good plan.

A later meeting with a paranormal specialist proves unfruitful, when he leaves in a hurry, saying he is not qualified to help them with such an evil force.

As the movie continues Micah proceeds to aggravate the ghost in any way. Micah even decides to get a Ouija board to see if the ghost will begin to communicate with them. All of these activities lead to a dramatic ending.

The film represents a great deal of ingenuity, even if subdued, and is a great example of editorial economy that still manages to grip its audience for the duration of the story.

Overall I found Paranormal Activity very entertaining and quite scary at times. This is definitely a film worth seeing if you're in the mood to be scared.

Welcome to the Zygor In-Game Alliance ... Horde World of Warcraft 1-80 Leveling Guides Blog Post.

The Zygor Leveling Guides are designed to enable World of Warcraft players to quickly increase their level. With the new Zygor Guide you don't have to switch back and forth between screens so you can keep your attention on the game play.

There are two separate screen modes. One is a large picture view that shows you all of the steps that you need to complete to advance your character in the quests. Players do not use these modes a lot because the amount of information affects the game play. The second screen mode is smaller and shows the current and next steps that you need to complete the current quest.

Zygor's Leveling Guide is a simple to use guide for new players and it's the least intrusive one. You can learn from the guide your character's level increase.

One more great thing about Zygor's Leveling guides are its interactive components.
There are only a few guides that are designed with an in-game guide mode.

A very good feature included in Zygor Guide is the waypoints. Players who have used the original version of this Guide will remember that it was full of waypoints and was filled with so much information that it was almost impossible to use in an efficient manner. As opposed to the old design, the new Zygor Guide gives you only the waypoint for the quest that you have highlighted. You are given a clear map window and when you move your cursor to a waypoint you will be shown the steps that you need when you arrive at this new location. As a WOW tool this comes in handy and new players will greatly appreciate this latest new feature.

With the option feature provided, players change window opacity and increase and decrease the size of on-screen guides, waypoints and icons. A starter guide for each race is included in everyone one of the in-game leveling guides.

For instance, you're playing as an Alliance character. Zygor's In-Game Alliance Leveling Guide includes a Starter Guide for Gnome, Dwarf, Draenei, Night Elf, and the Human races. And if you are playing as Horde character The In-Game Horde Leveling Guide includes a Starter Guide for the, Orc, Troll, Blood Elf, Tauren, and Undead races.

Zygor In-Game Alliance and Horde Guide offer a good learning solution especially for players who have recently entered the WOW arena. These in-game guides enable you to quickly increase your level. Players who have a high level can access special areas of WOW where the competition is also high.

Welcome to my Xbox360 blog article. This report will detail the beginning of the Xbox360. The Xbox360 was named after a marketing firm that it hired conducted a survey which asked people whether they thought the Xbox term evoked a more "next generation" or "next-gen" sound. It was apparent that Microsoft was having concerns at that time that sticking to Xbox2 as the name of its new video game console would make it appear or sound older or less "cutting-edge" than its main rival, the PlayStation 3 or PS3.

Keeping such a concept in mind, Microsoft announced that it has successfully produced a set of fresh 360 backwards compatibility update of the Xbox which the firm is scheduled to release anytime within the week. This is in keeping with the company's commitment to concentrate on the continuous improvement of the console's features. Peter Moore, the game's top honcho, said the updates are presently having their final testing at Microsoft. Once completed, these will be released to the market sometime this week.

Aside from the compatibility updates, the Xbox360 is also was reported to have a special feature that has the capability to perform maintenance functions in the console's storage devices. A player, who recently purchased a copy of the video game, said the console's cache can be cleared simply by going to the system blade, then to its memory. From there, the player said, one can press Y on either the HDD or the MU. The said player consequently posted his observations on one of the console's numerous websites.

Microsoft did confirm the existence of the said feature. However, they tried to make it clear to those who purchased the Xbox360 console that while the HDD clearing feature is a part of the game's entire electronic processing system, it is also a part of the technical support process. Ideally, it should only be utilized in instances when technical operations are involved. Moore said that while the said Xbox360 feature, when utilized, will not really harm or cause severe damage to the console, still it is suggested that it be used sparingly and only upon instructions from a qualified Microsoft customer service staff.

The latest model of the Xbox is considerably much smaller in size than its predecessor. It also has the obvious looks of a 21st century set top box. In addition, the game also contains a removable hard drive that is located on the left side of the console.

In general, the Xbox360 is, for all intents and purposes, a most powerful console, a truly next generation video game that has amazing top-of-the-line and cutting-edge features. It promises to provide an amazing digital visual enjoyment. The latest Xbox has a variety of hot as well as new game titles ranging from science-fiction, to adventure, to action, to sports, and to practically anything that the human mind can imagine.
