Gamer Testing Ground - Get Paid To Play Video Games From Home

By Neil Holloway

I above all people was skeptical if I could honestly make $150 per day working with Gamer Testing Ground playing the newest releases of games and checking for problems. All my friends did not believe when I told them I was a professional video game tester. I had my own doubts until I decided to take action and look into becoming a professional video game tester.

After having now tested video games for over six months I can share with you that I have a wonderful and exciting job. The truth is because so many do doubt that there are fewer game testers full time than there is a demand. Let me give you some information about Gamer Testing Ground.

Why Do Video Game Companies Need Testers?

Gamer Testing Ground will immediately connect you to the top gaming companies from all over the planet who need some serious gamers to test out the newest games before they become released. The programmers are looking for gamers they can get to know and trust. You will be connected to specific programmers o all kinds of genres of games. They need gamers right now. They spend all their time making the updates and improvements and cannot spend all day playing their games. This is the single reason why they are willing to pay good money for testers.

How Much Cash Can I Make Working With Gamer Testing Ground?

Let me say this before I continue. You need to enjoy playing video games before you visit, or else you will become bored rather quickly. The honest truth it does pay well (I now make around $175/day and as I become better I can move towards making $120/hour) because the more I test for companies the more I know eactly what they are looking for. Not everyone is willing to play video games even if you paid them for it.

Make Sure To Visit Gamer Testing Ground

The main reason why I am now doing this is because the pay is really good and I get to play the newest games. It is a steady stream of good income and I no longer need part time jobs. Another advantage that should not be overlooked is that I get to play from home while making money. So many games being released every year into a $50 billion industry, the job opportunities continue to grow and my work never stops.

Digital Cable VS Satellite TV

By Nikky Alonso

Do you want to get more channels while saving money but not sure if you should go with digital cable or satellite TV? Then this article is meant directly for you! The commercials seen on TV and the ad's displayed all over the internet can be overwhelming at best. Below we will hope to help make your choice simplified for you!

Cost Difference between Digital Cable VS Satellite TV:

Most cable companies include local franchise fees along with local broadcasting fees on your monthly bill. Digital cable varies starting at $30-$40 per month and up depending on the package you choose it can go up as high as $90 per month.

While Satellite packages usually offer betters deals based on how much money is spent per channel. Some satellite companies offer a price point between of $25 for over fifty channels. With most satellite companies pricing may be a little higher per month unless committing to twelve months of programming up front. A twelve month satellite commitment will usually ensure lower cost up front and most even free installation of the satellite dish.

Programming differences between Digital Cable VS Satellite TV:

Most Satellite TV systems can support over 250 channels of programming. All channels are of digital quality. One downside is satellite offers less local channels and may not have local channels in some areas. Most satellite companies also offer HD TV services that are compatible to your satellite TV service.

Digital cable on the other hand can support over 300 channels of programming of digital quality. Digital Cable has more local channels available in most major cities. Most cable companies now offer Video on Demand (a library of movies and TV shows that you can order at your leisure). HDTV services are becoming more popular amongst cable companies now and not just thru satellite TV as in the past.

Difference of Equipment:

Satellite equipment typically includes a satellite dish that is installed outside the home that is visible to everyone. A satellite receiver is also essential per TV. Most satellite receivers today also come with a PVR (Personal Video Recorder) which the cable company has not yet been able to offer as of now. Most satellite companies run specials on free installation and equipment when you agree to a 12 month contract.

Digital cable also requires one receiver per TV but that is all the equipment needed. Should you disconnect your service the receivers will be turned into the cable company where as with Satellite TV you own the dish.

In closing:

In the end the prices are comparable but it depends on which system will best suit your television needs and what you are more comfortable with. Both Digital TV and Satellite TV both have their disadvantages and advantages, you make the call!

Alexis Arguello: Remembering A Champion

By Ross Everett

Nicaraguan boxing legend Alexis Arguello was found dead of an apparent suicide in his home in early July. At the time of his death, he served as mayor of Nicaragua's capital city.

Arguello is best known to fight fans for his epic battle in 1982 with Aaron The Hawk Pryor when he moved up in weight after dominating at lighter weight classes. Though Arguello would lose via 14th round knockout (amid some controversy due to an apparent mystery drink offered to Pryor by his trainer Panama Lewis) it was a thrilling toe to toe battle that even the most knowledgeable boxing experts remember fondly to this day. Promoter Bob Arum offered these thoughts on Pryor/Arguello:

"It was a brutal, brutal fight. That was something I will never, ever forget as long as I live. That was one of the most memorable fights I ever did."

Arguello is arguably the best lightweight and junior lightweight in the history of the sport. Arguello never lost a fight at 130 pounds and would end his career with an astounding 82-8 record with 65 knockouts and championships in three different weight classes. At the time, he was only the sixth man in boxing history to hold title belts at three different weights.

Ironically, Arguellos career didnt get off to a good start and he lost his debut in 1968 via first round TKO. He won his next three fights, before losing again via unanimous decision to another lower tier foe in his native country. After that, he seldom lost again and would go on to be respected as one of the best pound for pound fighters of his day. He was at his best against his toughest adversaries including Ray Mancini, Bobby Chacon and Ruben Olivares. Bob Arum remembered him not only as a great fighter, but as a great man:

"Not only was he one of the greatest fighters I've ever seen, he was the most intelligent fighter. He was a ring tactician. Every move was thought out. And he was a wonderful, wonderful person."

Arguello was also very quick to remind younger fighters on their responsibility to the sport and how champions should conduct themselves. Here's he speaks of his attitude toward his opponets:

Of course after the fight you want to make sure that youre okay and so is the other guy, its a brotherhood in there, so you want to make sure everyone is okay after the war is over.

Arguello would frequently admonish boxers who didnt show the same respect for the sport or their status as champion:

When you won that title you should know now that you are representing a whole country or nation with your actions and you are now in a glass house or under a microscope and you better be ready to make your people proud.

Arguello loved boxing and fought to protect it from those who would undermine its greatness:

I respect boxing because it has given me so much and thats why I will never allow anyone to mistreat the sport of boxing if I can help it.

While the modest, dignified Arguello would never say it himself he also gave back immeasurably to the sport of boxing with his grace, intelligence, talent and toughness.

The Secret Origins of Blues Music

By Zack Roberts

The blues is a kind of music that can be vocal, instrumental (blues guitar) or both. It uses the 'blue' notes which are accomplished on a 'minor pentatonic' scale most of the time, otherwise recognised as the blues scale.

Blues music was derived from the African-American communities in the U.S. out of job songs, spiritual songs, field hollers, chants, shouts and elementary ballads that rhymed. A lot of facets of the blues comes from African culture

The call-and-response aspect of the music came straight from African origins and there were a lot of licks that would get duplicated thrice or more. This later developed into a line repeating twice and then on the third time around there would be an 'answer line'. You will be able to still discover these characteristics of early blues in modern day music, especially hip-hop.

The term 'The Blues' refers to the 'blue devils' which means down spirits or unhappiness.

The blues guitar brings a fundamental role in blues music as well as up-to-date music. It has shaped Jazz, Rhythm and Blues, Bluegrass and even heavy rock genres The original blues of the early 1900's, differently known as "poor man's blues" was normally associated with hard times, subjugation from white folk, cruelness of the police, gambling, economic depression, floods, magic, farming and dry periods. This music was fueled by a lot of grief and sorrow. Typically a lost loved one or an generic harsh surrounding prompted the lyrics and the tone of the blues guitar.

After the world war, you began to see blues songs that were about human relationships and sexuality. Also, wit was widened to the mix. Here is a funny example:

"That must be your woman, cause mine don't look like that... I said That must be your woman, cause mine don't look like that... Have you seen my baby? She's so big and fat..."

The blues guitar style came forth from the American South's instruments of the time which were the banjo and the Diddley Bow. This was a home made one stringed instrument that was favourite in the early 20th century. Figures such as Robert Johnson, Charley Patton, Son House and Blind Willie McTell were a part of the delta blues style which used a lot of finger picking techniques and slide guitar innovations.

Eventually, after WWII 'electric blues' became progressively popular where the blues guitar was played on electric guitars as were the bass guitars. This was most prevalent in the Chicago area.

The history of blues guitar and poor man's blues is rich with culture and stories of good times and bad. I could go on for days about the history of the blues guitar but let's make this part 1 so you don't fall asleep on me!

A Fan's Notes: Bewildered, football-infatuated author becomes disenchanted with the Incredible American Fantasy of prosperity and compliance, and ends up in an insane asylum. A poor rendition of Frederick Exley's highly considered novel. Cast includes Jerry Orbach, Burgess Meredith, Patricia Collins, Julia Ann Robinson, and Rosemary Murphy. (100 minutes, 1972)

Sugar Town : Entertaining mosaic of LA life characterizing a handful of characters whose lives dovetail: a musician wannabe who'll do anything to get ahead, an uptight lone lady who allures the incorrect men like a magnet, and a band made up of cleaned-up '80s stone megastars, to name a few. Tiny, made on a shoestring, although acute and well recognized; excellent cast contains a number of genuine-life musicians.

Black Mask: Biologically machinated warrior Li gives up a peaceful life to battle his comparably improved former colleagues, who are trying to take over the Hong Kong rackets.

A Selection Of Various Movie Synopses To Look At

By Edna Moon

It wasn't that long ago that a trip to the corner video shop was the most convenient way to get a movie. The next generation it seems will be getting their movies from movie downloads, avoiding any trips to the store. Just about any movie every made can be attained through a movie download site now. Check out these samples.

Bar Girls: Friendly if faulty romantic comedy with a twist: most of its chief characters are lesbians who assemble at L.A.'s Girl Bar. The core personality is compulsive, wryly ludicrous Loretta Wolfe, a female Woody Allen who desires an exact better half but not truly grasping what it means to genuinely and entirely love another person. The film's shortcomings are made up for by witty discussion and believable characters. Cast includes Nancy Allison Wolfe, Liza D'Agostino, Camila Griggs, Justine Slater, Lisa Parker, and Pam Raines. (95 minutes, 1994)

Fantastic Invasion of The Planet Earth: Discharged theatrically in 3-D, this movie was pretty much a disaster. A young couple finds themselves caught in a deserted town encircled in a mammoth bubble. The original title, The Bubble, was far less deceiving: there are no foreigners and no "invasion" in fact, and not much enthusiasm, either. Cast includes Filmed in widescreen Space-Vision. Cast includes Michael Cole, Deborah Walley, and Johnny Desmond. (91 minutes, 1996)

There's Something About Mary: Ted has had a crush on Mary since high school. A good friend convinces Ted to search Mary down. So Ted hires a private detective to locate Mary. This sets the stage for a fun comedy romance.

Gus: The football kicking mule leads a last-place team to success; crooks try to abduct Gus with typical outcomes like a weak chase scene in this anticipation thriller. Cast includes Edward Asner, Don Tangles, Gary Dirties, Tim Conway, Freedom Williams, Dick Minivan Patten, and Dick Butkus. (96 minutes, 1976)

Urban Legend: Urban legends are coming into reality on the campus of Pendlelton College. One by one the students are dying, each to a different legend. Are these urban legends real, or is someone playing a nasty joke on us?

The Lost Continent: The steamer drifts into the seaweed suffocated Sargasso Ocean and finds a lost continent with a secluded ancient culture acquired from Spanish monarchy. Excellent cast handles uneven script straight-faced. Cast includes Eric Porter, Hildegard Knef, Suzanna Leigh, Tony Beckley, Nigel Stock, and Neil McCallu. (89 minutes, 1968)

Mystery Alaska: Remote Alaskan town's hockey team is given the possibility to play the N.Y. Rangers as a publicity stunt. There is a hodgepodge cast of characters and an unavoidable big game finale. Crowe is the only one to ascend above the material. Cast includes Russell Crowe, Burt Reynolds, Hank Azaria, Mary McCormack, Lolita Davidovich, Mike Myers, and Little Richard. (118 minutes, 1999)

Dying Young: Aimless youthful lady replies to a newspaper ad and becomes nurse/friend to a 28-year old rich kid who's stricken with leukemia. Eventually they fall in love. As perfect stage for Roberts' charms and as love tale it has its good moments. Cast includes Julia Roberts, Scott, Vincent Donofrio, David Selby, and Ellen Bursty. (105 minutes, 1991)

The Jackie Robinson Story: Simple bio of Robinson, the first black man to play Major League Baseball. Captivating as a historical story; pointed in its presentation of the racial issues engaged. Interestingly, Robinson's Negro League ball club is named the Black Panthers! Dee plays Robinson's spouse. The movie is depicted by Brock Peters. Cast includes Jackie Robinson, Red Dee, Little Watson, Louise Beavers, Richard Aisle, Harry Shannon, Ben Lessy, and Joel Fuellen. (76 minutes, 1950)

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles

By James Ronald Wellingston

I think because of the massive amount of attention that is given to this album's so called "historical significance" that sometimes not enough attention is given to the music itself. I hope to correct that imbalance with this review which focuses entirely on the album's 13 tracks.

01. "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" - This opening track really sets the mood for the entire album. The song shifts styles abruptly just like the album does from song to song. And of course the crowd noise and the entire "Sgt. Pepper" concept are introduced here.

02. "With a Little Help from my Friends" - I much prefer this original Beatles version over the completely over the top Joe Cocker version that is probably more famous at this point (mostly because it was used as the theme song to the very popular Wonder Years TV show.) To me it's the perfect song for Ringo to sing and of course John & Paul wrote it specifically for Ringo. It fits like a glove. What a brilliant song.

03. "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" - Now that the original mono version is available easily (with the release of The Beatles in Mono Box Set) it's great to be able to hear what this album sounds like in mono (how it was "meant to be heard" originally.) And the heavy vocal effects on this song is probably one of the more interesting things about the mono mixes for me.

04. "Getting Better" - The "it couldn't get much worse" lyric that Lennon added to this McCartney song is such a great example of the way that Lennon and McCartney made each others songs better even when they weren't righting them "eyeball to eyeball" like in the early days.

05. "Fixing a Hole" - Possibly the best lyrics Paul McCartney ever wrote. Another one of my favorites on an album filled with favorites.

06. "She's Leaving Home" - Another great reason to get The Beatles in Mono Box Set. This song sounds faster and higher (by a semitone) in the mono version. It's a treat to hear!

07. "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite" - I think my favorite part of this song is the cut up tape section where it sounds like sort of insane random carnival music.

08. "Within You Without You" - This is a song that gets a lot of hate by a lot of people and that makes me sad. It makes me feel like they don't really "get it." This song is an essential part of what makes this album so brilliant.

09. "When I'm Sixty-Four" - I love how quickly the musical styles change with this album. We go from a carnival to India to music hall!

11. "Lovely Rita" - I have to admit that tracks #10 and #11 are probably my least favorites on the album. But considering I quite like both of those tracks, that says a lot about how much I love this album.

11. "Good Morning Good Morning" - John was inspired by a Kellogg's Corn Flakes commercial to write this song. Pretty cool lead guitar bits played by Paul.

12. "Sgt. Pepper's (Reprise)" - Rocks harder than the first version. I love how it ties the album together and it's brilliant how this closing version is "looser" just like a band may be looser at the end of a real show. And that's what the concept of this album was all about after all. The idea was that this album would "go on tour" rather than the band themselves.

13. "A Day in the Life" - In my opinion this is the best song ever written. An absolutely epic way to end the album.

Movie was redone as "The Present of Love" and for a 1984 Television film. Cast includes John Payne, Maureen O'Hara, William Bendix, Cedric Hardwicke, Glenn Langan, Mischa Auer, and Connie Marshall.

How to Take Photographs with Good Exposure

By Tobias Sterling

Whether novice or amateur, we have all experienced the same common frustrations. Perhaps you are taking a photo of snow on a bright day only the photo turns out too dark or perhaps you are photographing something in the dark, only the photo turns out too bright. So, why does this happen?

Unfortunately, most people believe that they can just point and shoot their camera and reproduce a photo depicting exactly what they saw. However, this is not the case when a camera is in its automatic mode. This mode makes the camera decide for itself what the proper settings should be.

Unless you are using a fully manual camera, your camera must make the decision as to how much light to allow the sensor to be exposed to. If there is too little light, the subjects of the photograph may appear almost invisible, also known as 'underexposed." In reverse, if there is too much light allowed, areas of the photo may be completely white, also known as "overexposed."

Cameras make these decisions on the basis that most scenes are comprised of equal parts of light and dark. This belief is referred to as 18% grey, however in some situations, this is not always the case.

To better explain, let's look at a common example: taking a photo of a polar bear in the snow on a bright sunny day. You are seeking the ability to reproduce the bright scene you viewed with your own eyes. However, most likely the bear and the snow will appear to be a dirty grey. The reason for this result is that your camera is utilizing its rule of thumb to determine shutter speed and aperture.

The other situation is when you take a photo in dark conditions, perhaps a street at night lit by some streetlamps. Here you want most of the photo to be dark, with perhaps some lighter areas that were illuminated by the streetlights. Instead what you may get is dark areas that are dull brown rather than black, and lighter areas that are overexposed. Again, your camera has assumed this scene, like others, is 18% grey, and has exposed it accordingly.

In order to expose very light and very dark scenes correctly (i.e. close to how you saw them), you will need to take control of your camera, rather than letting it do everything for itself. One way to do this is to dial in exposure compensation " add one stop for bright conditions and the reverse for dark conditions. Or you could simply put the camera in manual mode and try different settings until you get what you want, using the rear LCD to review your results.

Quality Reports On A Varied Collection Of Big Screen Pictures

By Adrian Erickson

Movie reviews follow this paragraph. If you are looking for a movie download site here are some phrases to search. To get some good sites try to search phrases like "Burn DVDs", "Download Movie Online Rental", or "DVD Movie Rentals".

Rocky Balboa: Rocky, now a 6O-ish widower and restaurant owner, who's disassociated from his business yuppie son (Ventimiglia), plans to re-enter the ring one last time to battle the present Heavyweight Champ. Not as poor as it may have been, even though it strains credibility; contrived, to be certain, although additionally curiously admiring. A number of ESPN-type Television identities appear as themselves. Cast includes Sylvester Stallone, Burt Youthful, Milo Ventimiglia, Geraldine Hughes, James Francis Kelly Sick, Tony Burton, A. J. Benza, Henry G. Sanders, and Antonio Tarver. (102 minutes, 2006)

The Shadow: Lamont Cranston, having lived a life of ethical degradation, is "reborn" as a single minded crime fighter with the talent to haze gentlemen's minds. This adaptation of the venerable mush novels and cherished radio shows (carried to the theaters before in the late 1930s and in a 1940 series) comes frustratingly close to succeeding, although flounders. Cranston is both inscrutable and boring. Incredible production layout and wonderful outcomes get lost in a film that keeps the viewer at Ann's magnitude all the way through. What a waste of an awesome supporting cast! Cast includes Alec Baldwin, John Lone, Penelope Ann Miller, Peter Boyle, Ian McKellen, Tim Curry, Jonathan Winters, and Sab Shimono. (105 minutes, 1994)

Blithe Spirit: A delectable adaptation of Noel Coward's comedy fantasy in regards to a guy whose long since passed first spouse appears to haunt and tease him in his recently wedded life. Rutherford is remarkable as Madame Arcati, the metaphysical medium. This film made an Oscar for its visual effects. Cast includes Rex Harrison, Constance Cummings, Kay Hammond, Margaret Rutherford, Hugh Wakefield, and Joyce Carey. (96 minutes, 1945)

Jupiter's Darling: Lavish musical of Robert Sherwood's Street to Rome, which weighs down in boredom. Williams is a temptress who dallies with Hannibal (Keel) to stop an attack on Rome. Cast includes Esther Williams, Howard Keel, George Sanders, Marge and Gower Victor, and Norma Varden. (96 minutes, 1955)

Scandalous: A feather brained sham in regards to investigative TV journalist who runs afoul of a team of con artists as he tries to extricate himself from a homicide charge. Cast includes Robert Hays, John Giegud, Pamela Stephenson, and Jim Dale. (94 minutes, 1984)

For Me and My Gal: Music maintains the style of vaudeville couple decided to play Palace, circa WWI. Kelly's film debut, and he and Garland harmonize title tune and other old top choices. Cast includes Judy Garland, George Murphy, Gene Kelly, Marta Eggerth, Ben Blue, Horace McNally, Keenan Wynn, Sandra Goldbacher, and Richard Quine. (104 minutes, 1942)

Great Guns: Later Laurel and Hardy Army comedy is weak, not as poor as some although far underneath their classic films. Cast includes Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Sheila Ryan, Dick Nelson, and Edmund MacDonald. (74 minutes, 1941)

Marie Antoinette: This film is a visually sumptuous account of an adolescent's voyage from Vienna to the Palace at Versailles and the throne of France. Author-director Coppola's Marie (as played by Dunst) is a modern-day gal, with contemporary music set contrary to the pomp and circumstance of the 18th century life. Starts to tire eventually and ends with a cry, not a smash although there's much to like here. Cast includes Kirsten Dunst, Jason Schwartzman, Judy Davis, Tear Tom, Steve Coogan, Rose Byrne, Asia Argento, Molly Shannon, Shirley Henderson, Danny Huston, Marianne Faithfull, Mary Nighy, and Sarah Adler. (123 minutes, 2006)

Slaughter's Big Rip-off: A murderer is still playing games with the Mob in this dull action film. McMahon gives more effort to his role as the mob boss than it merits. Cast includes Jim Brown, Ed McMahon, Brock Peters, Don Stroud, Gloria Hendry, Dick Anthony Williams, and Art Metrano. (93 minutes, 1973)

Burning Blade Gold From A Renown Orc Clan

By Mikey Kovnic

If you are setting out to get gold, there is no better gold to get than Burning Blade Gold. While all gold has the same purchasing power regardless of its origins, some gold is simply more prestigious than other types of gold. If you delve into the bloody history of the World of Warcraft you will gain a new respect for the Blademasters that make up the Burning Blade clan of orcs. Orcs are some of the most powerful creatures in the World of Warcraft. They are masterful killers and will stop at nothing to take down their prey. Their clan battled against the Horde in all three Wars and still retains a simmering hatred toward their mortal enemies. Their gold comes at a price.

If you don't think that you'll be able to survive a standoff with the Burning Blade clan because you are too new to the game, there are many other safer ways that you can earn gold in World of Warcraft.

Regardless of what gold earning methods you choose, it is important that you immediately start to earn as much gold as you can at whatever level you are. You need gold to buy equipment and mounts. You need gold to complete quests. You really need gold for everything in this world.

Until you reach level forty, the best thing that you can be is a gatherer. Gatherers go out into resource rich areas and pick up items. As you collect your items, you should sell all the gray and white ones to a vendor. These items are less desirable and won't fetch much at the Auction House. In fact you might end up alienating your fellow gamers by flooding the House with unwanted items.

Vendors will take items at what amounts to a wholesale price. If you can establish a good relationship with a vendor you should have a steady buyer for all your gathered items and therefore a steady source of gold as you level up.

At the same time, you should create another character to assist your primary character. With this character you shouldn't worry about getting to a high level. This secondary character is like a bank or a broker for your primary character.

You can save a lot of time, and therefore earn more gold, if you send your expensive items to your broker character and stay out in the field gathering more. Your broker character can also do your work at the Auction House, again saving time. On the same principal that time equals money, it is worth your initial investment to get a very big bag like Netherweave bag. This means that you are collecting more every time you are out in the field and earning more and more gold.

No matter how you decide to earn your gold in World of Warcraft, it is vitally important that you have gold. Burning Blade Gold is a great type of gold to have, but frankly, any type of gold will help you to do all you could ever want to do in World of Warcraft.

Pay Less For Your Cell Contract With A Prepaid Card

By Floyd Smithfield

When getting a cell phone, it often happens that people forget to take into account all mobile phone options, and especially that they ignore prepaid mobile contracts. As a result many are then stuck with a long term contract that turns out to be costly and not right for their needs. If you find yourself in this situation, read on as there are still ways to use a prepaid phone to save money.

There are lots of tricks that you can use to your advantage by getting a prepaid mobile and using it in conjunction with your existing cell phone. Just read on. You will learn how to identify the main areas where you can save money on your calls.

Before we look at prepaid mobile options, a word on dual SIM phones. These allow you to use two different phone numbers and plans, such as your contract phone and a prepaid mobile line, with the same phone. They come with all sorts of features and are very useful.

If you don't want to invest in a new phone, you can either get an extra old handset and carry two phones around, one for your prepaid mobile SIM and the other one for the contract, or search the Internet for a SIM duplication device. These cheap and little pieces of circuitry fit two SIMs into the slot of your existing phone and allow you to transform it into a dual SIM phone in no time!

One of the most common and best uses of prepaid mobile cards is for long distance calling, whether across states in the US or across borders internationally. Prepaid cards intended for long distance will allow you to make serious savings compared to using your contract, and it will be quicker and without hassle compared to a long distance phone centre.

On normal calls, often prepaid mobile SIM cards are already cheaper per minute of call than a contract phone, but the cost savings are even greater if you take a pay as you go number with special off peak rates. These may apply in the evening, on weekends, or both, and will give you serious minutes for your money during those times.

If you use text messages a lot, you will be pleased to learn that with prepaid mobile phones, you can spend up to ten times less than with cellular contracts when spending SMS. Plus, some pricing options emphasizing texts give you the possibility to use MSN Messenger or another instant messaging software for free, so you can keep in touch with your friends in real time.

If you find browsing the internet while on the move useful, you will be pleased to learn that using the internet on your phone with a prepaid mobile number can be cheaper than doing the same over the biggest enterprise contracts. With the right pay as you go card, reading emails or looking at an interactive map will be cheaper than on your contract.

If you shop around, possibly comparing the most recent offers for your country over the Internet, you will find that many of the above options can be bundled in a single prepaid mobile line, allowing you to match the things that are most useful for you.

Don't forget though that your mobile phone contract will run out eventually, and that at that time thanks to a regulation called number portability you will be able to move your main number to a contract that is more convenient to you, such as a prepaid mobile subscription.

Cast includes Gunther von Fritsch, Robert Prudent, Simone Simon, Kent Smith, Jane Randolph, Ann Carter, and Julia Dean. (70 minutes, 1944)

Adam's Apples: This movie is a bizarre dark comedy about two very different men who have a battle of wills. It is a newly developed religious zealot versus a hard core neo-Nazi criminal. The battle of good versus evil is on. The main stars are Ulrich Thomsen, Mads Mikkelsen, Nicolas Brom, and Paprika Steen. (German-Danish-comedy directed by Anders Thomas Jensen)

Gucci Mane Mixtapes Are Hot In The Streets

By Greg Romanson

A lot of people are clueless about Gucci Mane, a musician from the south. His home is in Georgia, specifically hailing from Zone Six in the eastern part of Atlanta. He has become a sensational musician in recent years. With that said, many individuals don't know how he should be viewed after they listen to some of his songs.

His vocabulary is fairly vulgar and he is not afraid to express himself on the microphone. The reason that this artist has become especially popular is not really due to mainstream success, rather, it is due to his ability to relate to the streets and provide them with good music. He releases new mixtapes more than any other artist in the industry.

A few of his popular releases include "Kitchen Talk," "Guapaholics," and "Gucci La Flare" are some of the best musical pieces that people are able to enjoy by Gucci. Even though you may have a different taste in music and not like Gucci, you cannot dismiss his presence.

He was even included on MTV's 2009 "hottest emcees" in the genre of rap music. He placed number six on a very competitive list of names including Drake, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, and Young Jeezy. To say that he is lacking in popularity is very inaccurate. Most of his fans are supportive because they enjoy hearing his creative lyrics and awesome instrumentals produced by his good friend Zaytoven.

Many people would argue that Zaytoven is one of the best low profile producers in the entire hip hop game. Not only are Gucci Mane mixtapes very popular, but all of the Gucci Mane freestyles that have been released are also very popular. You should take the time to review his talent by watching some of the creative lyrics that he comes up with off the top of his head.

How did Gucci "La Flare" end up accruing more than one million dollars in earnings over the course of his career? Simple. He demands fees for guest appearances, and he has sold out shows everywhere he goes. He has done songs with popular artists like Shawty Lo, Soulja Boy, and OJ Da Juiceman. A lot of people love the fact that he can appeal to the underground as well as the mainstream.

Anyone that is a fan of rap-music knows that Gucci Mane has had a lot of musical success. Most individuals that support Gucci will not hesitate to promote for him and let the world know that he is one of the best. Many people have different thoughts about this artist, but he is on pace to really become a huge superstar.
