How To Make Your Own Beer


Learning to make beer at home is a lot of fun, and it won’t be long before you come up with some homemade beer that tastes better than anything you’ll find at a specialty liquor store, but look, before you start making your own home made beer, you need to know just one thing; the first batch of homemade beer you come up with is going to be kind of flat, and it’s going to taste either really bitter, or really bland. Sorry, but if you want to brew your own beer, there really is a delicate art to it, and a kind of craftsmanship, and like with any art or craft, a lot of the learning process comes from trial and error, making mistakes and learning how to avoid making those same mistakes in the future. This is true of painting, of writing, of playing guitar, and it’s definitely true of home beer making. How To Make Your Own Beer - Read Full Story

Twitter: 30 Simple Ways To Supercharge Your Effectiveness On Twitter!


Whether you are a beginner, an intermediate, or an advanced user of Twitter.com there are so many ways to increase your effectiveness that you can always stand to learn a little more. The concerns each group has can differ.

* Beginners may feel isolated, confused, or unnoticed.
* Intermediate users (who know how to make their way around the social networking site) still will want to know how to increase their influence or network better.
* Finally, those people that start to generate so many users they're having trouble keeping up with them all, the advanced users, need to learn ways to multitask in ways that keep the same level of interaction and growth they had when they weren't as popular and had more time.

So, with that in mind, let's go over different steps each group can take to increase their effectiveness on Twitter and reach the goals each group has in mind.

Remember, Twitter is like a giant, non-stop, party that you step into at full swing, and unless you are proactive and join in the fun, you're likely to end up a wall flower. Twitter: 30 Simple Ways To Supercharge Your Effectiveness On Twitter! REad Full Story

Dealing With Difficult Patients for Dentists


Difficult Patients in Your Dental Office?

At one point or another, all dentists must face patients that are considered difficult for various reasons from special care requirements to bad behavior. Factors that may cause you to classify a certain patient as difficult include personality disorders, subclinical behavior traits or some other type of psychiatric disorder or physical handicap.

As dentists you have to manage being overworked and contending with employees and associates with poor communication skills, lack experience or just do not fit in at a dental office. The last thing you want to do is deal with problematic patients. Unfortunately, everyone needs dental care, even if they have a bad attitude and refuse to bathe on a regular basis.

Sperm Donors: Myth And Reality


Sperm donors are usually not in as good supply as you might think, and sperm donation isn’t all it’s believed to be. And in many countries, it’s becoming rarer and rarer. Let’s take the UK for example. Prior to the 1st April 2005, any man who wished to donate his semen to be used by couples that were unable to produce a child as a consequence of male fertility problems, were able to rely on the fact that their sperm donation could be provided anonymously – the Uk allowed anonymous sperm donors. UK law changed after this date, however, and it is now not possible to donate sperm anonymously. Children will have the automatic right to ascertain their biological father’s identity once they reach the age of 18. Sperm Donors: Myth And Reality - Read Full Story

JOE SATRIANI - Real Guitar Hero - Guide to The World's Best Guitarists


Known as Saint Joe by his fans and simply as 'Satch' to his friends, Joe Satriani is perhaps the most prominent instrumental guitarist in the world today. No other instrumental rock guitarist has played with so many different people, had so many Billboard hits, or sold anywhere near as many albums. And with good reason: Satriani's masterful presence on the guitar, using every single technique you could possibly think of and then taking it two steps further, result in a variety of sounds it's hard to believe come from a single guitar. Two-handed tapping, volume swells, harmonics, hammer-ons, pull-offs, and lots of whammy bar effects are all standard fare at a Satch concert. Yet through it all he manages to bring out a memorable melody… JOE SATRIANI - Read full story

MyC4 - Microcredit: It’s not Charity


A lot of charity sites simply amount to temporary help for permanent problems, and they offer little more than a way for fortunate people to feel less guilty about having been born in a developed country. MYC4 offers none of that. Instead, MYC4 gives everybody involved something to take pride in. By allowing people in developed countries to make business loans to those in the less developed parts of Africa, there’s a real sense of purpose there.

Your fortune in having been born in England or the US or Australia is not something to be ashamed of, but an opportunity to be grateful for. We were born in these countries so that we could help to improve the less developed countries, not by way of hand outs that feed a family for a day and leave them hungry tomorrow, but by sharing our own opportunities with them.

Houdini


Harry Houdini grew up as Erich Weiss in Milwaukee where, for a time, he worked as an apprentice to a local locksmith. Those locksmith skills came in handy when Erich later took the name Houdini, the last name of a famous French magician, and moved to New York to become a magician himself. Houdini, of course, soon became well known throughout the world for his magic in general but especially for his sometimes death-defying escapes. Houdini - read full story

BB KING - Real Guitar Hero - Guide to The World's Best Guitarists


If you consider the development of rock and roll as a giant mansion, with lots of rooms for each of the different styles and artists over the years, the cornerstone would have to be Riley B. King. Better known as B. B. King, he was old school before it was cool, and like the cornerstone of a building, he is barely visible now. Yet nearly everything stands upon the foundation he (and a few others) laid. BB KING - Real Guitar Hero - Read full story

Doctor Who - The Sixth Doctor


The Sixth Doctor Who - At the beginning of Doctor Who's third decade on the air, at the end of 1984, Peter Davison was leaving his title role as the Fifth Doctor. The UK's seemingly endless pool of good actors produced Colin Baker to take on the part. The new, seemingly more unbalanced than usual Doctor was portrayed amid a long decline in support for the show from both the public and the BBC. Doctor Who - The Sixth Doctor - read full story

Ghostwriting Exposed - The Top 50 Ghostwritten Books


The traditional misconception of ghost writing is probably the image of the starving young writer with stars in their eyes, hoping to learn something about the craft and get published, by any means necessary, while the client is seen as a real Ebenezer Scrooge type, taking advantage of the hopeful young scribe and then slapping his own name on the book once it’s finished. As a ghostwriter, I know this simply isn't true.

As you’ll see from the following list, this Dickensian scenario couldn’t be further from the truth. These books aren’t just “pretty good… for something that was ghost written”, these are bona fide good, even great books. The ones that haven’t won Pulitzers have at least won the hearts and minds of more than a few readers, and nothing is on this list just to pad it out. These are fifty certifiably good books, that just happen to have been ghost written. Ghostwriting Exposed - The Top 50 Ghostwritten Books - read full list



Ghostwriting - A History


Ghostwriting/ghost writing may not be the oldest profession in the world, but it’s been around longer than you might think. For as long as there has been any such thing as a written language, there have been ghost writers. As a professional ghostwriter, I thought a little history of the profession might be interesting.

Forest of Dean Big Cats


Is The Forest of Dean A Big Cat Hideout?

If you live in the Forest of Dean area, the next time you open your back door to call out for Tiddles, there is just the small possibility that a cat much larger than your domestic moggy, may respond to you instead! This is because it is now becoming more and more widely believed that there are large cats stalking the area. Sightings of these elusive felines are increasing in numbers and Gloucestershire Police are now thought to be recording around 100 sightings every year. Forest of Dean Big Cats - read full story

Marshall Amplifiers


Understanding the affection many musicians have for Marshall amplifiers requires at least a basic understanding of the history of the tube or valve amplifier. (The terms are used interchangeably, depending on where you are.) Proponents of using only this classic type of amplifier say the sound is more natural. Some say it is a full sound that satisfies the ear more completely. Marshall Amplifiers - read full story

Kiva - Microlending: A Silver Bullet For Poverty?

Let’s be honest about another thing: I'm hoping that, after reading this, you will go directly to Kiva.org and give them your support. Give them $25 to be exact. We are really hoping you'll check this out, as shamelessly as possible, simply because Kiva deserves your support.

If you haven’t heard of Kiva, the idea behind the site is so simple and so brilliant, that everybody who didn’t come up with it should feel a bit foolish for not having come up with it. So simple, in fact, that we can sum it up in one dozen words:

Kiva allows people to loan money to small businesses in developing countries. Kiva - Microlending: A Silver Bullet For Poverty? Read full story:

Celebrities on Twitter - How To Spot a Fake

Firstly, Why Do Celebrities Use Twitter?

Good question. Why do they do it?

There are two main reasons for this. Firstly it’s to promote themselves – or their latest album, or their television programmes, or their Presidential campaign, or whatever else is going on in their careers at the moment. And let’s face it, with a free Twitter account they could get a lot of free publicity by tweeting the odd update now and then.

Doctor Who - The Fifth Doctor


"With a new producer and a new Doctor, the series fully entered the new decade in 1982 with a young cast and an updated look.

Very much unlike his predecessor Tom Baker, Peter Davison was already something of a star when he was selected to become the Fifth Doctor in 1981. Not quite yet 30 when he accepted the part, he is the second youngest actor to play the title character." Doctor Who - The Fifth Doctor - read full story:

A Complete Guide To How To Sound Like Eddie Van Halen

Fingers flyin', glam-hair whipping around, Van Halen was the prototype for the '80's rock band 2 years before the decade even started. A guitar hero before the games console was even invented. Something like 80 million albums sold, more Top 100 hits than any other rock band in history, and more drama from their revolving door of vocalists than a Shakespeare play. And all along, there was always Eddie Van Halen, tapping and shredding away. As guitar heroes go, he's big. EDDIE VAN HALEN - Read full story
