Get paid to take surveys (seriously), not scam

Can you really get paid just for taking surveys? When it comes to earning money from home, there are many options that one can pursue, but one thing always comes to mind first: Making money using the internet. Making money online is something that everybody dreams about, but not very many people actually ever achieve. Usually one would need some technical experience such as programming, coding, graphics design, or publishing. Many of us do not have any of these skills to help us get started earning a living online. There is, however, a method of earning an income from home using the internet that does not require any technical skills. It is called paid surveys. This is where you can get paid for completing online surveys. Sounds simple and easy right? Well.. it is! But how does it work? It's all about market research. Big corporations like Nike, Walmart, and Best Buy spend billions of dollars every year on market research. Market research is the act of gathering infor

Fixing Red Eye with Adobe Photoshop

Image
It is a common problem. Your have captured some adorable photographs of your new baby boy and can't wait to show them off to your friends and family only to be disappointed, when you look at them on your computer or pick them up from the photo lab, by the terrible red eye. Your precious child looks like a demon or something from a scary movie. This problem is commonly referred to as "red eye." Red eye is caused by the light from camera's flash reflecting off of the retina in the back of the eye. In low light conditions the iris of the eye is larger providing for a larger surface to appear red in your photos. Unfortunately, it is in low light conditions that a flash is needed the most. Red is becoming more and more of a problem and this is partly due to the emergence of digital photo technology. Since digital cameras do not need the same internal mechanics or space for film they are becoming smaller and smaller compared to their film counterparts. This m

Get Paid for Your Opinion

Have you ever thought what life would be like if you were able to work from home? How much more time would you be able to spend with your family, your children, or just doing the things you love? Most people only dream about it but never take the next step to actually doing it, so they continue to work in jobs they hate and fight traffic everyday just to barely make ends meet. Why not make your dream a reality and get paid for your opinion? You probably are not even aware that major companies will pay you just to tell them what you think of their products! How's that for a fun job? Companies all over the world, use people, just like you to tell them what they think of their products, both positive and negative in order to better market their products. They need you, and the possibilities are endless for survey work. You can work from home while you get paid for your opinion, it just doesn't get any better than that! What you need is to know the right company that can connect

Energy from the Phone – A Cheap Source of Electricity

  Every day more and more people complain about the huge amounts of money they have to spend on electricity bills. High consumption of energy is a fact in all houses and it is due mainly to the large numbers of electrical appliances which use electrical power to work. Yet, stop using them can significantly decrease the comfort which they are used to and make their life more miserable.

Do Not Pick Your Pearly Penile Papules

Many men suffering of pearly penile papules feel the need of getting rid of them immediately. It is true that living with those bumps on the penis cannot be a pleasure for anybody. Moreover, it can even be quite tormenting having to deal with the presence of the papules each and every day and knowing that you cannot do anything to make them disappear. Thus, many men who end up losing their patience and having no faith that they will ever get rid of those bumps start picking them. This is the worst thing one can do. If living with those bumps, which may at one point in your life disappear is difficult, then think how hard will be to live with scars on your penis. Cause this is what is going to happen if you start picking those little, ugly pearly penile papules. The area in which the pearly penile papules are located (the head of the penis) is extremely sensitive. Thus, picking them will not only be very painful, but it will also result in inflammation and infection of the area, whi

Creating a Panorama

Okay, you want to create a panorama but your camera doesn't have that option. It is really no big deal, you can easily use PS to stitch your photos together using these steps. First you take your photos by choosing the spot where you want to photograph. A hint: if you have a tripod, use it, it will help immensely. I always start taking the photos from the left and go on to the right. So take the first photo then try to remember an object or something that's on the right side of that photo you just took, now move your camera to the right (in my case) and find that object you just picked out as your marker, now put that object in the middle of the next photo, it helps if you can put the photos over each other in photoshop when you want to edit them. You next need to decide the size of your panorama, I want mine to be the height of 600 pixels and the width will then be 2400 pixels, because when I put the height to 600 then all the images have to be 800 px times 600 px… So 800 ti

Do Height Increase Exercises Really Work?

The answer is yes and no. Read on to learn more. Exercise, combined with a sound diet and proper posture, can be beneficial to your body in a variety of different ways. Doing exercises to increase height while you are young and still growing can indeed help you grow taller, but it's important to remember that during this period of your life, your body still has a lot of growing to do.

Your bones can't lengthen when you stretch them. They're done growing. The only way you could possibly physically le

Can Castor Oil Treat Pearly Penile Papules?

Changes & Goals

Here we sit, just less than 11 weeks from the FLEX Pro. My first blog entry leading into the show, so an update as to what has gone on leading up to this point is in order. I am currently living in the LA area and train 6 days a week in Gold's Venice with Charles Glass. It is definitely a lot of change from my normal style of training and normal routine. Every year to this point, I have done my prep in the familiarity of my hometown of Toronto. Bodybuilding and anything in life is about learning so we will see how everything turns out in the end. I know that I'm very focused, working hard, and definitely much bigger than I have ever been. I am in better condition and my waist is smaller than I had going into the show last year in NY (2010 NY Pro). My goal for this year is to be better; more complete and balanced. Not just the typical "bigger" that most guys strive for. Many of you know that I have always been an advocate of high volume training, but Charle

Bargain Hunting for Women’s Plus Size Apparel

If finding women's plus size apparel is difficult, then finding clothing in large sizes at bargain prices is an even greater challenge. To get the best deals on plus size clothes, consider shopping online, at local stores, and through mail-order catalogs. The following are eight strategies for saving money: - Look for a sale, clearance, or outlet section on the website of your favorite retailer. Occasionally, you can save up to 80% off original prices this way. If your retailer is owned by a parent company, also check the parent company's website for a clearance or outlet section. - Comparison shop for similar items at different websites. If you plan to wear an item only a few times or occasionally, perhaps you can purchase a similar but cheaper item. - Always use a search engine to look for a coupon code your retailer may have. Many websites actually track these coupon codes along with expiration dates to help shoppers save. When filling out your order form online or in

Are Your Glasses Actually Hurting Your Eyes?

Image
Almost half the population in America wears some sort of artificial lens, glasses or contact lenses. Artificial lenses may help improve your vision, but it is just a temporary fix. Glasses and lenses can never fix your eye problems. Artificial lenses can help you see things more clearly, but they are mainly for the symptoms of eye problems and do not cure the actual ailment. The main problem with artificial lenses is they teach you bad habits and allow your eyes to work incorrectly. You quickly become dependent on the lenses and keep your eyes from healing themselves. If you can teach your eyes to be more relaxed, the need for glasses and lenses would go away completely. The main cause of most eye ailments is mental stress and strain on the eyes. The key is to learn how to avoid strain in the first place. That is not always possible, so learning new habits to deal with strain is the next step. One of the largest problems with artificial lenses is finding the perfect presc

A flight simulator is a software system that is intended to give the users the feeling of flying an actual aircraft.

Image
The degree of reality in the flight sim actually depends upon the kind of technology being used and the computer hardware available. Today, there are a number of flight simulation games and establishments, which guarantee to give you the thrill of flying an actual aircraft, while keeping you away from the risks involved in doing so. There are a number of uses that flight simulators have been put to in the past. The civil and military aviation industries have been constantly using these systems to train and teach pilots how to actually fly different types of aircraft and how to act in different sorts of scenarios and failures. One of the oldest flight simulators was developed just after World War I to help pilots fire a machine gun in a moving cockpit replica. By having a simulator the pilot could learn how to aim in a environment that cost less, and had minimal hazards. More recently, the gaming industry has realized the huge potential in flight simulation software. With

Can You Trust Any Hair Regrowth Plans?

Image
Newcomers to the Internet are initially overwhelmed at the cornucopia of wonderful opportunities that seem to be offered to them on every hand. Miraculous cures, the chance to make tens of thousands of dollars every day with twenty-two seconds of work, free computers and free refrigerators, and countless other amazing deals seem to beckon from every side. After attempting to take advantage of several of these offers, and ending up with subscriptions to three different magazines and a bill for an expensive commemorative plate that they did not order (besides not getting the free car, million dollar annual income, or permanent cure for acne that they wanted), most people come to recognize these offers for what they are: dodges at best, and lies, ripoffs, and scams at worst. Unfortunately, the protective armor of Internet cynicism that we soon develop often blinds us to the real opportunities that come along as well. The Hair Loss Blueprint is a hair restoration plan that you might

Building the Ultimate WoW Gold Farming Tactics

Image
I don't know about you, but farming for gold in World of Warcraft is not exactly a "fun" exercise. It's time consuming, more than a little boring and generally doesn't pay off very well. But, with the right tweaks, you can inject a little bit of entertainment into your gold farming and ensure you make a huge pile of the stuff for every minute you spend logged in. Turn Farming into a Social Event Most people think of farming in WoW and remember long hours spent waiting for a particular item to drop or clicking the same boring nodes over and over again. But, it doesn't have to be like that. Make a game of it and invite some friends. You can go farming in instances too where you can bring three or four buddies and take out big time bosses on your way to find some of the best loot the game has to offer. I don't recommend you do this if you're aiming for 1,000+ gold an hour, but if you just want to kill time and make gold, it's the way to go. Ou

Color Modes in Photoshop

Image
The color modes and color models of digital imaging seem to be a bit of an enigma to those first experiencing Photoshop. The diversity of color modes can be so overwhelming that novice users many times avoid these features without realizing the impact color modes can have on the end results of the image. The color modes establish the color model that should be applied to display and print digital pictures. Understanding color modes and models and how to utilize them in Photoshop is a must for those who are serious about professional quality digital imaging. Learn what color modes will work best for different application to optimize results. RGB RGB stands for Red Green and Blue. In the RGB color mode colors are produced by mixing these three primary colors. Essentially you are working with three color channels in RGB mode, each of which the intensity level can be adjusted separately to attain various degrees of colors. White is created by combining all of the three c

Do Not Pick At Your Sores When You Have Angular Cheilitis

Mixed feelings invade one's heart when the first signs of Angular Cheilitis appear. There is embarrassment about the way in which the skin around the lips looks like and there is the feeling of fear of the way in which this condition may develop in time. Then, there is the pain which usually accompanies this condition. With so many feelings crossing their souls, many people just panic and start picking at the cracked skin, in hope that this will hurry the process of healing. Yet, this is one of the worst things you can make in your trial of getting rid of Angular Cheilitis. Here is why: Angular Cheilitis involves the cracking of skin, inflammation, redness and in most severe cases infection and pus. In order for the skin to start healing, it will need to start regenerating the cells which have been damaged. Thus, more often, in the cases precursory to the healing the skin will have a flaky aspect. This means that the skin is trying to remake the areas which are affected. If you s

Exercises for the Eyes

The constant strain day in and day out does nothing but damage the eyes. Below are three exercises design to remove the eye strain.   The first exercise is the Dot exercise.

Try closing your eyes and picturing the dot and then look at it again. Once the eyes are relaxed it should be easier to see the period. T

What Are Your Eyes Saying?

Image
Eye problems plague society today and have for many years. Many of these problems and ailments can be avoided if we would stop and listen to our eyes. They are the best factors in deciding if we are overworking them. If your eyes are straining and tense, your eyes are being damaged. You wouldn't continue straining your arm muscles for long periods of time, you would stop when it hurt and take a break. The eyes should be treated the same way.             The eyes are full of small muscles that are responsible for shortening or lengthening the lens so we can see clearly. Take a look at your eyes right now. Are they straining to read the words on the page? Are the eyes flowing over the words are staring hard at each word? Are you smiling, frowning, or concentrating too hard?  If you said yes to any of those, your eye muscles need to relax as soon as possible. Thoughts can actually affect our vision. When you are thinking pleasant, happy thoughts the eyes are more relaxed. Rel

Want to save energy? Get the facts!

I need to buy new windows if I want to save on energy. Maybe not. You need to carefully evaluate your windows and doors and insulation with an energy audit. Actually, before jumping to the conclusion of "I need better windows" you need to completely assess your home's energy envelope. Often times there are hidden factors that might reveal another energy problem that is contributing to the apparent problem of bad windows. Turning off heat registers in unused room saves energy. Partially true. If you turn off too many rooms, your furnace will overheat and shutdown. If this happens you either need an hvac contractor to come out and reset the furnace, or install a new one. Furnaces are designed with a maximum temperature in mind, and if this temperature is reached or exceeded the unit either shuts down or the furnace fries itself. Bottom line: you can shut off a room or two, but not much more without watching your furnace design temperature. If I turn down my thermost

Three Buffing Systems Explained in Aion

Image
For anyone used to more western style MMOs, the buffing systems in Aion may be a little foreign to you. Having a very clear overview of how these systems will affect your gameplay will help you become that much better suited to the streamlined, fast paced combat of Aion at the higher levels. Titles Titles are in almost every MMO on the planet, but they are a little different in Aion in that they actually provide a bit of a stat boost for anyone that gets them.

The Bates Method

Dr. William Bates spend years studying vision problems. He attended and graduated from Cornell University and became a teacher and researcher of ophthalmology in the New York area. Bates created many vision improvement methods and believed that anyone can see without glasses. His methods were developed teach the eyes ways to improve and heal themselves.             The Bates Method was developed to help school age children absorb more knowledge without straining their eyes. Dr. Bates learned that most bad habits and eye problems begin in school age children. Children have a natural curiosity to learn new things. However, when material is constantly shoved down their throats and they are forced to memorize tons of uninteresting information, the mind gets tired and the eyes start to strain. Likewise, looking at new information causes the eyes to strain in order to commit it to memory. All day, every day children are forced to absorb new material, whether it interests them or not

Overeating Nutritious Food

Image
"I wanted to see if I could actually GAIN unwanted body fat by eating as much food as I wanted for 6 weeks straight. My theory was that if you eat the right types of food and don't stray from those foods, the body will automatically rebalance itself, even though you're attempting to overeat. I couldn't just eat any and all types of foods… I would overeat on as much food as I wanted, but ONLY the foods that are "approved" according to my rules (the same rules Isabel teaches in The Diet Solution Program). You're not going to believe what happened. The end result after 6 weeks of trying to stuff my face with as much healthy food as possible: My body weight stayed EXACTLY the same! I didn't gain a single pound. I know the first reaction of many people is that I just must have a "fast metabolism" or something along those lines and that's why I didn't gain weight – But that is false! The truth is that I have no problem at all gain

Make a Wanted Poster in Photoshop

There is something just plain fun about wanted posters – the fake ones, at least. I've seen wanted posters used in some of the most creative ways, from invitations to help wanted advertisements. Of course, the stand-by is a framed photo.Making your own wanted poster is so easy in Photoshop, you'll want to make them of all your family members! All you need is a photograph that you want to use, a wanted poster template that you can download here, and Photoshop. Any version of Photoshop from 7 on will work fine – and most graphics editors that can handle layers.Making the Poster1. Open the photograph you want to use in Photoshop. Our first step is to turn this photo into a sepia-toned antique. How easy is it? Terribly. With your photo open, set your foreground color to a tannish orange. Then, using your rectangle shape tool (make sure it's the shape tool, not the marquee tool!), draw a square that covers the canvas. Now, change that shape layer's mode to "Ov

How Walking Lowers Blood Pressure Naturally

Image
In this article I will discuss the importance of walking in a blood pressure reduction program. It is important to note in that the newer trend of high intensity exercise with rest periods may be possible for you once you have mastered walking. You need to be active to lower blood pressure. I know, easier said then done; however the more active you are, the more opportunity there is for blood vessels to open up to allow blood to flow naturally. When you are go for a walk the blood vessels in the leg and the heart must stay wide (dilated). This allows those muscles to get the nutrients they need for energy. Walking causes the arteries to release this chemical known as "nitric acid". The function of nitric acid forces the muscle layer of the blood vessels to relax and dilate. Now knowing this you need to find the time to go for a twenty minute walk at least 4-5 times a week. Three times a week is a bare minimum but for best results you need to be moving for at least twent

Glasses, Vision & The Mind

Image
Vision plays a large part in the memory's process. The better an image is processed the easier it is to recall later. The more relaxed the eyes are, the better they can absorb an image.
