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...

In the late 1970's a new Rock 'n' Roll band hit the scene. They had outrageous Teddy Boy hair styles and was tattooed so prolifically that you couldn't tell where the ink ended and skin started. To be brutally honest they looked more like a bunch of yobos than Rock 'n' Roll stars. But they let their music do the talking and shot to stardom with hit after hit after hit. If you enjoy Rock 'n' Roll or Rockabilly you will definitely like the music of the Stray Cats.

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.

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.

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.

When I think about the legendary Henry Winkler two names come to mind... The Fonz and MacGyver (a Henry Winkler production). Both of these fictional characters have one thing in common, they are both Cool!

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).

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.

Fly For Fun is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG). Its main advertising line is 'Free For Life' which means it is completely free to play and you never have to pay a penny to play it. The game relies on an Item Mall to cover costs of running and developing the game where you can buy gpotatoes and with these you can buy unique items that you can use in the game to make your playing experience more enjoyable. It is up to the player whether they want items from the item mall or not as none of the items are a requirement to play the game.The game is very cutesy and like most of the MMORPG out there very addictive to play. There are plenty of quests to do so that you don't have to constantly grind on mobs (like you do have to in some other games) and most of the quests give a nice experience reward.

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?

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.

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.

Brothel Creepers are a type of shoe most associated with Rock 'n' Roll music. They were invented in 1949 by George Cox six years before Rock 'n' Roll became popular. But since then they have been adopted by the Rock 'n' Roll / Rockabilly market as their trademark shoe.The most famous of the Brothel Creeper shoes are of course the blue suede ones made famous by Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley.The Brothel Creeper has a two inch rubber sole and usually lace through D-Rings to tie them. Read on to see what Wikipedia has to say about Brothel Creepers.

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.

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.

I know there is a lot of free e-mail services out there but a lot of them are severely limited and crap. Also as a webmaster you prefer your own personalised email address with your own domain name in it. Most domains come with free email boxes but they have you paying for the smtp service.Basically, if you are confused in what POP3 and SMTP are, as an internet user the explanation is simple. POP3 is what receives your email and SMTP is what sends your email.

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.

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.

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 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.
