The Girl Next Door image is one of stereotypes. An image that has been placed on wholesome, unassuming or average females. The film of the same name, of course, took this to the extremes.This lens shows pictures of a normal Girl Next Door stereotype. The photographs were taken of her by a professional studio to show that a Normal Girl can look as beautiful as any Movie Star.

One of my pet peeves at the moment is all the stuff that is offered FREE whether it is on the Internet or not. Filtering through all this stuff to find out what is really free and what isn't can be a nightmare.Buy One get One FREE! - This is a really good one, how can one of them be free if you have to lay out cash to get it?Sign up and get 1000 free website visits for FREE - This is an offer that loads of the Traffic Exchanges give. Sounds good don't it? So you sign up and there is no free credit like it promised you, so off you go to read the FAQ. Upon finding the answer you discover that you have to surf so many websites before you can get your free hits. Hmmm, working for free stuff, who are they kidding?FREE to me means that there is no hidden charges, no having to work for it and definitely not having to purchase something to get them.Of course there is plenty of stuff that is free as offering free stuff is such a great marketting ploy. Give someone something for free and most of the time you will get something back, but giving something and expecting something back in return makes it no longer free. To help prove my point below is two definitions of the word FREE provided without, or not subject to, a charge or paymentgiven without consideration of a return or reward

J R R Tolkien is seen as being the father of fantasy and to any true fantasy fan Lord of the Rings is required reading. That being said it doesn't necessarily mean it is the best fantasy story out there. The Hobbit was a fast paced story with something new happening in every chapter. After Tolkien wrote the Hobbit he moved into more adventureous territory and made the follow up a trilogy. The follow up was a lot slower than the original and harder to follow. To me Tolkien had left his original format and tried to create a literary epic, he did of course succeed, but no matter how I tried to like Lord of the Rings I never could. The constant singing/poetry in the book was completely unnecessary and did nothing to enhance the story, in fact it detracted from it. The story also has too many wasted plot elements, it is a good story but it definitely ain't God's gift to fantasy like some Lord of the Rings followers seem to think. And what's with the wizard that uses a sword instead of magic and an all powerful ring that all it seems to do is make the wearer invisible?

Lord of the Rings has now become a total product range. Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman's Dragonlance however was designed as a total product range. Dragonlance was designed as a side product of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. The book trilogy was designed to back up the new Dragonlance role playing game and because of that the group of friends in Dragonlance were on the lines of the Dungeons and Dragons scenarios each having their own traits, their own strengths and weaknesses and from a range of species (human, half-elf, kender and dwarf).

World of Warcraft is a massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG), in fact it is the most popular of the MMORPGs out there. Just because it is the most popular though does not necessarily make it the best.Basically World of Warcraft is so popular because it followed on the heals of the single user game Warcraft and as such people expected it to be a follow up. Warcraft is a fantasy based strategy game and the game play differs hugely. Another reason that World of Warcraft is the most popular of the MMORPGs is that it has had a commercial release and television advertising.I am not knocking World of Warcraft because it is an excellent game but there are many other of these style games out there that are FREE to play. I have tried many of these style games and have even been caught in a rut in them by out leveling the game and continuing to play in hope that they update the game soon. So if you are stuck in a rut in the MMORPG you are currently playing either give World of Warcraft a go or one of the many other MMORPGs out there.

World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) storylines can be good, funny or over the top. Some of the storylines go on too long and become ridiculous. Vince MacMahon just doesn't know when to stop and plays some of the storylines way too long and even sometimes goes morally too far. What has the human race degenerated to to find some of these storylines even mildly entertaining?

I grew up reading the escapades of Dennis The Menace and Gnasher, a comic strip in the Beano comic in the United Kingdom and as far as I knew he was the ONLY Dennis The Menace.

Years later I saw the film 'Dennis The Menace' starring Walter Matthau and I was wondering why they had changed the character, as far as I remembered Dennis The Menace was a bully and not an over enthusiastic kid that caused mischief by just trying to be over helpful. I was thinking where is Walter (the wimp that Dennis always used to terrorise) and who is this Mr Wilson character?

It was only recently that I discovered that there is two separate Dennis The Menaces, one created is the US and the other created in the UK. The amazing thing is that they debuted within three days of each other. Therefore, this lens is created to show you the differences between each character and to show you the Dennis The Menace that you didn't know about (if that is the case).

This lens is to introduce you all to the Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game Rose.The best way to do this is to outline the latest ingame event made by players for the players. This event shows the scope of the game and proves that some MMORPGs are not all killing and leveling.I would like to thank the R.O.S.E. Online Community (the North American Division) for helping make this game and this event what it is today.

One of my favourite bands of the 1970's was Showaddywaddy. This British band was different from all the other bands of the era by being two bands that had joined into one. This gave the band a unique sound as it had two of each band positions. The style of music they performed was Rock 'n' Roll with a hint of Glam Rock (the main style of music of the era). They dressed in Teddy Boy fashion in loud colours and were probably the most colourful band of the era. The story I heard about the forming of Showaddywaddy was that the bands Choise and The Golden Hammers were double booked at a venue so they played together and was so successful that they formed the band Showaddywaddy. Whether that is true or not doesn't really matter, what matters is the bands went together like a dream and produced the greatest Rockabilly band of the 1970s.

Speed Freaks is a collection of model cars that are really miniature caricatures rather than straightforward replica models. The collection was designed by Terry Ross a self-proclaimed class 1 petrol head and he has successfully mastered the art of making models of cars and bikes look as though they are doing 150mph whilst standing still!.When Terry started making these caricatures he concentrated on creating private commissions. Among the very limited productions were the Ferrari 355, McLaren M8D and Valentino Rossi on the motorbike that won him the 2001 500cc MotoGP season. Each of these exclusive limited editions retailed at £995 as they were exceptional pieces, made to order.

I was first introduced to computer role playing games back in the days of the ZX Spectrum and ever since they have been my favourite kind of games. They are games where every time you play you don't have to start again from the begining but continue from where you left off. You gain an attachment to your character(s) as you build it and advance through the levels.

Computer role playing games have advanced in leaps and bounds (as has everything else) and now instead of playing these games by yourself you can now play them online and make many many online friends. These games are now known as MMORPGs - Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game - and now come in all sorts of different forms. They are no longer limited to player vs computer generated monster and the genre has spread out. The style of MMORPG out there include the traditional style, golf, car racing, adult themes and complete online experiences.

On this lens I will show you trailers to some of the different MMORPGs out there with links to the official game sites and leave you the reader to make your own choice on which you would like to try.

Wong Fei Hung is the most portrayed character in movie history. He was a martial artist, a master of Hung Ga (a style which according to legend was named after Hung Hei-Gun during the time of the Qing Dynasty). He choreographed the famous Tiger Crane Paired Form Fist, which incorporates his "Ten Special Fist" techniques and he was also famous for a technique known as the "No Shadow Kick. Wong Fei Hung has been portrayed in movies by such famous people as Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Jet Li and Kwan Tak Hing who made so many Wong Fei Hung films that he was nicknamed "Master Hung". Kwan Tak Hing portrayed Wong Fei Hung in over 75 films - Wikipedia can't make its mind up of how many Wong Fei Hung films there were in this series, so far i found two different numbers 77 and 99. The reason for this is that many of the films Kwan Tak Hing made have disappeared or deterioted beyond use.

Shakin Stevens was my favourite artist when I was younger, but unlike many other artists he wasn't an overnight success. Shakin Stevens paid his dues in the music industry for 10 years before he had his first hit single.Shakin Stevens started out in the group 'Shakin Stevens and The Sunsets' who first went professional in 1969, they released 13 singles but none of them made it big. Shakin Stevens and The Sunsets parted company in 1977.After breaking up from The Sunsets Shakin Stevens went on to produce solo records. He also appeared in a Jack Good West End Musical which was revamped into a television show called 'Oh Boy', this was the turning point in Shakin Stevens long struggle for success. His second single "Somebody Touched Me" made it into the top 40 in Australia but it wasn't until his 8th solo release that he started to make it big. His eighth single was "Hot Dog" which had of course been featured in 'Oh Boy' and the rest we say is history.Shakin Stevens had 39 hit singles, 36 of which were consecutive, and in the UK alone achieved four Number 1s and three Number 2s.

Have you ever been IP blocked from a site or banned from a forum? Some forums when they ban you use what is know as IP blocking to stop you not only from posting on their forums but it also stops you viewing their forums.One of the ways round this is to use a Proxy to fool the system and get back on the forum. You won't be able to post though because your username and password will be blocked. But by going through the Proxy you should soon be able to resign up for the forum and bypass the ban.Proxies can be used for other things as well. Annonymous Proxies hide you from view so that people can't IP trace you and is especially good for ICQ and IRC.

The Dukes of Hazzard followed the adventures of The General Lee and its two good ol' boy drivers, Bo and Luke Duke. Together with their cousin Daisy and good old Uncle Jesse they chucked and jived the law in a modern day Robin Hood fashion. Every week Bo and Luke Duke were framed with mock charges dreamt up by the portly Boss Hogg and his incompetant sheriff Rosco P Coltrane. The consequences of which was many extravagant car chases around the fictional county of Hazzard.

To be completely honest I had never heard of The Jive Romeros until I started making these video showcases. I stumbled upon them while looking for my favourite artists on YouTube. The Jive Romeros are a classic Rock 'n' Roll band that are very reminiscent of Bill Haley and The Comets.I hope you enjoy this lens and enjoy listening to the music of The Jive Romeros.

The latest of the NOW CDs has just been released (October 29, 2007) and the best way for you to know if you would like to buy the album is to have a sampler from it. So on this lens i am featuring all the music videos of the songs on the album. So glance down the list and be amazed at how many of the songs are actually still on YouTube. Of course, it goes without saying that if you like this album you really should purchase it. In my opinion this is definitely not the definitive eighties collection as quite a few artists are conspicuous by their absence. Artists like Adam & The Ants and Shakin Stevens just to name two are absent from this collection.Some of the songs that NOW have picked are of course excellent but there are many better that they could have chosen instead. But having said that there are not that many songs that can be featured on a CD set even if that set consists of 10 CDs (which this set does not).

One of the things that seems to be taking the Internet by storm is Free Ads. These free ad sites let you advertise any internet site you like (provided it is G Rated). You can even use them to advertise your affiliates. You can post as many adverts to these sites as you have email addresses.

If you have never seen Sammo Hung before, when you see him your first impression would be...Oh my God he is fat and out of shape and you couldn't be more wrong. This first impression thing Sammo used to his advantage to introduce his show Martial Law to a new audience. Sammo is in fact a very fit Martial Artist who uses his appearance and the first impressions law to his advantage in a lot of his work.Sammo Hung is a Kung Fu film star, director and choreographer. He went to the same Opera school as the legendary Jackie Chan and together with Yuen Biao they are collectively known as the three brothers.Sammo Hung has directed and/or starred in numerous Jackie Chan films, but he is a star in his own right. In this lens I will highlight some of his best work.

One of my favourite Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) is ROSE. Unfortunately after just over a year of playing I maxed out and got banned from the game forum for complaining about lack of updates and the level cap, so as a result of this I no longer play the game. Nevertheless it is still a great game and well worth a try.On YouTube there are many tribute videos to this game and as such I will highlight them on this lens as a one stop to view them all without the annoying page changing you have to do on YouTube.

Gamespot has only ever rated six games a perfect 10/10 score, two of these have been released within two months of each other. One being Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and the other being Grand Theft Auto IV. These games have quite a few things in common with the main being that you kill lots of people in the game. One of the other things I'd like to say these games have in common is that they are both forth in the series. But if I said that I would be wrong as Grand Theft Auto IV is the ninth in its series and Metal Gear Solid 4 is the fifth in the Metal Gear Solid series and seventh in the Metal Gear series.
