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.

2. MMORPG Video Showcase

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.

3. The Girl Next Door

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.

4. The Dukes of Hazzard (TV)

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.

5. We Love & Hate Battlefield Earth

Battlefield Earth is a science fiction story written and conceived by L Ron Hubbard.

It was written in the 'Golden Age' of science fiction and was written by a writer whose mainstream writing was normal fiction and he was asked by his employer to start and write science fiction, thus Battlefield Earth was born.

Battlefield Earth is a love and hate thing, love the book, hate the film. It is as simple as that.

6. Epson CD Tray R200 - R340

Recently I bought an Epson R340 printer to print CDs and Photos. After printing out nearly 200 CDs the printer stopped wanting to print them by jamming the CD tray. After a bit of investigation I found out that these printers do have problems with their print trays and that the print trays only work for about 150 CDs before you start having problems with them. The print rollers get dirty and the guides on the tray get stained and less clear.After reading up on this you have three options, those being:Update your printer drivers (doesn't always work but its worth a try)Clean your printer rollers and the CD trayif all else fails replace the CD tray

7. Squidoo vs HubPages

I was introduced to both Squidoo and HubPages at the same time. Both are similar in their execution. I personally fell out with HubPages when they suspended one of my hubs for being self promoting. Ever since I have been an avid Squidooer and never gave a second thought to HubPages until Monkeybrain appeared. So, without further ado the gloves are off and the ripping apart can begin.

8. The Farseer Trilogy

The Farseer Trilogy is Robin Hobb's first outing into the world of fantasy novels, a genre so complex that stories usually come in the minimum of trilogies and not single book novels.

The Farseer Trilogy follows the story of FitzChivalry Farseer and is wrote from his perspective. Fitz is trained as an assassin but not the type of assassin that you would imagine. He is not the best sword fighter or even the best brawler and he possesses a magic that is not what people would expect in fantasy stories.

If you are expecting a Lord of the Rings type story you would be disappointed until you emerged yourself in Robin Hobb's masterful storytelling. There is no elves or dwarves or even goblins and the magic is not from fireball throwing wizards. I don't want to spoil the story by giving it all away, all I can say is if you enjoy fantasy novels this is a must read and a welcome diversion from mainstream fantasy.

The Farseer Trilogy is the first of three trilogies set in The Realm of the Elderlings, the second being The Liveship Traders Trilogy with the latest being The Tawny Man Trilogy.

9. Miss Rose 2007

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.

10. Miss Rose 2007 - The Final

This is a continuation lens to the Miss Rose 2007 Beauty Pageant lens and was held in the North American version of R.O.S.E..Because of my last lens I was invited to be the Official Reporter for the Miss Rose 2007 Beauty Pageant. I would like to thank HerselfTheElf for this invitation and I hope I can do a good job of this.The Pageant was held on 26 May 2007 at 10am PST. I got the invite at approximately 5:30am PST and this is where my panic started. Could I do the job? Am I up to the challenge? Well only time will tell.So I msged HerselfTheElf back and said that i would do it. After posting it it dawned on me that 10am PST was 6pm BST the precise time I had to pick the wife up from work. So after nearly an hour of ringing around my relatives to try find and find someone to pick my wife up I was back on track.I grabbed myself some food and sat down to chill, while eating I heard a beeping coming from the computer and lo and behold but my modem had crashed and wouldn't connect to the internet. So I telephone my service provider and they say that there is a fault in my area and it wont be fixed till 7:35pm BST. Typical, I thought. After all that aggro I wouldnt be able to attend and couldn't even contact anyone to tell them I couldnt make it.Luckily my Internet came back on at 5:20pm BST and I flew to the meeting place and everything went smoothly.So lets get into the action...

11. Wong Fei Hung

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.

12. Wizard's First Rule

I have just finished listening to the audiobook Wizard's First Rule read by Dick Hill (there are two versions, the other is read by Jim Bond). This is definitely one of the most atmospheric audio books I have ever heard. The characters are portrayed brilliantly and is a definite must buy.

13. Is This FREE?

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

14. Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight on Squidoo

Dragonlance was created by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman as a set of gaming modules for the hugely successful Dungeons and Dragons role playing game in the early 1980s.The world of Dragonlance was the first fictional world to be professionally produced as a role-playing game world with product tie-ins (novels, role-playing modules, figurines, etc.).Since its conception there has been over 190 novels set in the world of Dragonlance. Now over 20 years after its birth they have announced the first Dragonlance movie set for release in September of 2007.Unfortunately the film is not live action but animated (lets hope they do a good job on it) and will be released straight to DVD.

15. Christmas Video Showcase

Christmas is a time of giving, a time of loving and time for great music. Nearly every band and solo artist worth their salt has created or been part of a great Christmas song. Many artists have made their own Christmas albums, great artists like Elvis Presley and Reba McEntire, in fact Christmas albums are very big in the country music community.

In this lens I will show you some of the best Christmas songs ever and also some great Christmas songs by some great artists.

I hope you enjoy this lens and have a very Merry Christmas.

16. Model Railway Video Showcase

I have always been fascinated with Model Railways but unfortunately I have never had the space to make my own.

Model Railway building is a hobby that can engulf a lifetime if done right. Building a layout can take years if done correctly, its not just as simple as buying a train set and putting the track together as there are many other things to consider like landscaping and proper track layout.

I have created this video showcase to show you the reader how good model railways can look when they are finished. Enjoy.

17. NOW That's What I Call The 80's! Video Showcase

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).

18. Sammo Hung

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.

20. Speed Freaks

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.
