Hello world. This is my bio. I can edit it later! http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/mtsouth Fri, 25 Jul 2008 04:47:21 -0600 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.squidoo.com/xbox360redlights Want to know what the xbox 360 red lights mean and how to fix them? Discover the secrets to getting rid of the xbox 360 red lights of death permanently. So I came home from work the other day looking forward to firing up my xbox 360 and enjoying some online gaming.  Nothing like taking out some terrorists to relieve some stress right? Rainbow Six Vegas was already in the tray so I hit the power button and waited.  Then the sinking feeling hit me.  Around the power button I could see flashing red lights.  Some of my buddies had told me about their xbox's experiencing the xbox 360 red lights of death, but I'd never seen it......until now.  I frantically turned off the system and turned it back on, hoping to avoid the xbox 360 red lights flashing.  No good.  The red lights on the xbox 360 were blinking, taunting me in my quest to play.  I turned off the system again and went to get a drink.  I wanted the thing fixed ASAP, but didn't know where to begin.  That's when I started doing some research and calling a few friends who had the same problem.  Some said they sent the system to Microsoft, but it took weeks and in the end they spent $140+ to get it fixed....if Microsoft could fix it. I was disappointed.  That's when a friend called me back and told me about a guide he found online to fix the xbox 360 red lights problem.  He said it was called the Xbox 360 Fix Guide.  He said he used the guide and had his xbox 360 up and running again in about an hour or so.  The guide wasn't free, but for $25 and the hope that it could help me fix my xbox in only an hour, I took a chance.  I purchased the guide. The guide was great.  It diagnosed my issue and walked me through how to easily fix it.  In a little over an hour after purchase, my xbox 360 red lights issue was no more! I was back online fragging terrorists and enjoying my xbox 360 again.  This happened a few months ago and I've not had any more problems with the xbox 360 red lights of death.  For $25 and an hour of time, I was able to repair my xbox 360 thanks to the xbox 360 Fix Guide.  Cheaper and faster than sending the system to Microsoft or having to buy a new system entirely.  I've also helped repair a few friends who ran into the red lights of doom as well.  None of the solutions involved wrapping the 360 in a towel either. Check out the xbox 360 Fix Guide.  I highly recommend it.   xbox 360 red lights videogames Tue, 22 Jul 2008 11:41:30 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/world_of_warcraft_gold_guide World of Warcraft Gold Guide  Wish there was a World of Warcraft Gold Guide that could show you how to make unlimited gold in World of Warcraft?

Do you feel it's taking hours to make progress because you're traveling everywhere to complete quests? Do you want a step-by-step guide and videos to show you the fastest ways to complete quests and gain levels? I was in the same spot a few months ago.  That was before I discovered Joana's Horde Leveling Guide.  Now I'm getting access to content my guild has been playing for weeks.  I'm starting to catch up and pass people that were 6-10 levels above me just a few weeks ago.  Everyone wants to know my secret, but I won't tell.  This is the only place I'll spill the beans about how good Joana's Horde Leveling Guide is.  The part that has helped me the most are the videos.  They are high quality videos detailing Joana's entire quest from 1-70.  That's right, there's even a section for Burning Crusade and the Outlands.  This guide is better than any power leveling service because I can enjoy the content I'm paying for each month.  Check out Joana's guide.  You won't be disappointed. videogames Thu, 08 May 2008 10:49:21 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/free_samples Welcome to the Free Product Samples Lens.  This lens will contain various free samples of products that I find on the internet.  Some of these offers will likely require a physical address in order to send out the free sample.  If you've thought about trying these products before, now you have a no risk way to get a sample of the product.  Enjoy the freebies.  As I find more offers, I'll make them available on this page, so check back often.  Updated 7/2 - Neutrogena Suncare, Olay Regenerist, and Jergens Natural Glow Moisturizer. shopping Wed, 31 Oct 2007 13:52:18 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/discount-vera-bradley-bags shopping Tue, 06 May 2008 08:39:22 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/wowallianceleveling Is your World of Warcraft Alliance Leveling progressing at the speed you would like? Does level 70 seem like a pipe dream? Tired of wandering aimlessly from quest to quest with no direction? I was the same way until I found an Alliance Leveling Guide that cleared everything up. You've probably seen plenty of people talk about Brian Kopp's Alliance Leveling Guide and wondered if it's the real deal.  I'm here to say that it helped me.  I was getting really frustrated watching other people who started playing WoW months after I did get to level 60 and above in less time than it took me to get to 30.  I finally chatted one of these guys and he told me about Brian Kopp's Alliance Leveling Guide.  Granted, the guide does have a cost ($35), but it has made a world of difference in my WoW playing.  I can now get online and know exactly which quests I want to do and what order to do them in.  No more wondering around HOPING I was doing the right quests. To me, this is the best alliance leveling guide available.  The other great part is that it's printable.  I can print off a few sections and study them at work before going home and playing World of Warcraft.  I'm no longer frustrated by the newbs and their high levels.  Now I'm a lean, mean, leveling machine.

Are you tired of wandering aimlessly in Stormwind, wondering which quest to perform next? Is everyone in your guild leveling past you and getting to do content you can't access? Do you want to be the envy of everyone in your guild because you reached level 70 first?  Then you've come to the right place.  Not only will I share with you the best WoW Alliance Leveling Guide available today, but I'll also share a few of the tips contained within the WoW Alliance Leveling Guide.  Granted, I can't share everything, but I can share enough that no one can argue about how good this WoW Alliance Leveling Guide is.  I stumbled across this WoW Alliance Leveling Guide a few months ago while I was searching for some info on quests.  Not only did this WoW Alliance Leveling Guide help me with those quests, it gave me killer tips on how to speed up my leveling.  Instead of taking days to gain a level, I was now taking hours!!! It was amazing. The map hack provided with the WoW Alliance Leveling Guide is a huge help too.  It reveals the entire map ahead of time, decreasing the aimless wandering and speeding up travel between quests.  I can't recommend this WoW Alliance Leveling Guide enough.  Go check it out and get a copy before Blizzard finds out about it and shuts it down. videogames Sat, 08 Mar 2008 06:50:35 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/how_to_play_lead_guitar How to Play Lead Guitar  Want to learn how to play lead guitar? Check out these lead guitar playing tips along with the best way to learn how to play lead guitar.     Imagine a famous music band playing when suddenly the lead guitarist's instrument shut off. See? Everything becomes a blur. That is because the lead guitar provides the main sound in a melody; it leads all the sound in music. The drummer, bass, and others are just accompaniment to the lead guitarist. There are also basics used in playing the lead guitar. First, make sure that the pick brings out the highest tone. The tones differ with the kind of stroke done. Down strokes give out a fiddle tone that is considered the best since it is derived from simple strokes of the muscles. Notice that slow songs sound better because they use down strokes with over tones. Timing is important as it gives life to the music played. An easy way the player to know whether or not his timing is bad is to record the piece and listen to it and identify where there is bad timing. It could be that the timing is not bad for the entire song; but it might occur in just one break - that is when there is a small interweave of beats right after a wrong push. Practice again to avoid the same mistake. One belief is that lead guitar players are fast; and the faster the player is the better the audience thinks they are. But the truth is, if they can't play smoothly it is useless and probably would end up sounding like tin can. The speed can also be dependent on the pick used. A white, thick, big nylon pick gives a nice lead sound, but this is hard to use if the player opts for speed. The melody of the music must always be visualized prior to playing it. The lead guitarist should make the lead sound match the song and fit its rhythm. True artists call this as the "T" in lead guitar playing. The break should be taken into consideration as a whole and not with every single note played. Try playing a gig with better musicians: this way your talent is enhanced since there is the pressure of keeping up with the better musicians. These musicians can teach you many techniques without even doing a "one on one" session; just by merely watching how they smoothly they play the music is enough for you to grasp the "T". Avoid playing licks. Concentrate and play smoothly and remember that the simpler the tone, the better. Choose an idol - it could be a fiddle, banjo, mandolin, saxophone, or piano player that you can listen to in order to pick up points and ideas of how to improvise. Listen to the real sound of the instrument and feel the beauty of the sound. The best way I've found to learn how to play lead guitar is Jamorama's Lead Guitar Program. It's designed for intermediate guitar players who have either had lessons before or have used Jamorama's Guitar program. You'll learn everything there is to know about being a lead guitarist.

Not only was I getting great advice on the camera, but I was finding out how to use the camera to become a freelance photographer! The thought of making a little extra money on the side doing something I loved was exciting.   He wrote down the name of a few websites (list is below) and told me to check them out.  He also mentioned The Camera Dollars System.  He said he had made some good money so far and that if his income from the freelance photography sites kept growing that eventually he would be able to quit his job at the store and do it fulltime.  He kept talking about how the Camera Dollars System was a great resource and it allowed him to make back the purchase price ($40) in a couple of days with pictures he had already taken.  Needless to say, I was impressed.  Fast forward ahead three months.  I've been using the freelance photography websites he suggested and have started to see a consistent return from it each month.  I'm not ready to quit my day job yet and be a freelance photographer fulltime, but the money that is coming in helps pay the bills and allows me to knock down my debt a little faster.  It's amazing what an extra few hundred dollars a month does for your confidence. Here are the websites I'm using as a freelance photographer.  Some of these sites have membership or handling fees, but it's real easy to make the money back.  I think in the time since I first joined, I've easily made back the fees 5 or 6 times over.  The Camera Dollars System is fantastic as well.  Loads of resources (some I haven't even used yet) that will pay for pictures.  I paid for the Camera Dollars System on a Saturday and by the next Saturday, I had already made back the purchase price ($40) and then some from selling my pictures.  Good luck in your Freelance Photography career.  I'm sure there are many people who will use the links below to begin making a nice bit of money on the side from selling photos online. Oh, the store employee who sold me the camera and told me about these websites is now working fulltime as a freelance photgrapher.  He quit the store about a month ago because of the money he was able to make online from freelance photography.  I'm not to that point yet, but it's a dream of mine.  With the websites listed below and the Camera Dollars System, I'm hoping to turn that dream into a reality.  Good luck to all Freelance Photographers, Mark diy Fri, 02 Nov 2007 09:59:08 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/saveyourmarriage Save My Marriage Having trouble with your marriage?

I was no different. I've got a mortgage, two car payments, bills, etc like everyone else and the money ain't exactly falling off trees. I started snooping around online and found a bunch of products that looked good, but I wondered if they were legit. Products like Internet Speedway and others make these big promises but never seem to deliever. I started feeling frustrated. I felt like there had to be a legit way to make some money online without investing a small fortune (which I don't have) or spending 10 hours a day to earn $2.00. Just as I was about to give up, I found a product called Ebay Crusher. Now I had done a little selling on Ebay, but nothing huge. Some odds and ends that I no longer needed, but that was about it. I also found it to be a pain to have shipping supplies around the house and make trips to the post office. After checking out Ebay Crusher, I took the plunge. I was hoping this wasn't a get rich scheme and I hadn't wasted my money. Once I started reading through Ebay Crusher, I realized I had the right choice. Not only was Ebay Crusher worth the money, I didn't need to spend $5000 just to get in the door. There's also no inventory to keep on hand. No need for postage supplies or trips to and from the post office. The more I read about Ebay Crusher, the happier I was with my purchase. I now had a step-by-step method for making some money using Ebay without having to knockover an ATM or take up a room in my house with inventory and shipping supplies. My spouse was VERY happy about that last part especially. Check out Ebay crusher for yourself.

Unfortunately, many players do not know how to properly use the Auction House to their advantage. Check out these tips from Valkor's Gold Making Guide for improving your Auction House returns 1 - Always set a buyout - Think of the Auction House like Ebay. You know how you can use the Buy it Now feature on Ebay to buy something immediatly? The buyout feature in the Auction House works the same way. The main reason for setting a buyout price is that it encourages someone to purchase now instead of waiting for their bid to end. This reduces relisting fees and helps you sell items quicker. 2 - Buyout Price Undercutting - a sneaky trick, but completely legit. Before listing your item, check to see what the other buyout prices are set to for the same item. As long as they aren't totally out of whack, set your buyout price just a little lower. This will ensure your item sells faster because a) you have a buyout and b) it's the lowest one available. If someone wants your item now, they can get it and save gold too! What's not to like about that deal 3 - Don't use Round numbers for starting bids - Have you noticed that when the Auction House assigns a default value to your item that it's never 25 gold, but something like 24 gold and 31 silver? Setting your starting bid to something similar makes buyers think the Auction House valued the item at that level and it's really worth it. There you have it. Three Auction House tips. I know some of them are pretty simple, but you'll be amazed at the number of people who don't use them. Take the extra time and put the steps into action. You'll start getting more gold from your auctions and truly utilizing the Auction House to your full advantage.

Basic tools and some technical skill is required. See, I was one of the many unfortunate XBOXers receiving the dreaded XBOX "Red Ring of Death" error.  Man, it was a bummer.  Instead of waiting on Microsoft, I took the fate of my Xbox 360 repair into my own hands and picked up the Xbox 360 Repair Guide.  Listed below, you'll see the steps I took to get my Xbox 360 up and running again in less than 1 hour. One thing to keep in mind: if your Xbox is still under warranty take it back to the store for repair, Do not open it as this will void your warranty. If it is out of warranty then go ahead and repair it yourself. About 6% of Xbox 360s that receive this error cannot be repaired. This means that you have a very good chance of saving your Xbox 360 console! Repair may require a few items from your local Radio Shack or hardware store. Chances are you already have these items. Learning how to repair your XBox will save you some major money. Microsoft will not tell you how to fix these errors. They'll ask you to send your system back to them for repair. You could also take your Xbox 360 to a local shop to get repaired.  The typical cost for a repair can be as much as $140. Also - they do not always guarantee a fix! This guide will show you how to easily fix the 3 Red Light Error. I'll also cover over heating consoles, graphic errors, and freeze ups. the step by step repair guide is easy to understand, and will have you up and running in about an hour. I have personally repaired 10 Xbox 360's with this guide with a 100% success rate. It includes easy to follow instructions including pictures of every step that is required. I am repairing them for friends that have had trouble with the red ring of death.   videogames Wed, 20 Feb 2008 08:39:13 -0600
