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.

Link bombing has been around for awhile and all it really is is a SEO tactic which some people used to link certain words to certain websites. As soon as I heard about things like this and read up on how they did it, it made me look at this search engine optimization tactic in a different light.I like many others who have read a little on search engine optimization look upon it as an impossible task. But along comes the link bomb and proves how easy it can be to do some of these little tricks.In this lens I will show you how to use the tactics used in link bombing and hopefully like me you should be able to rank a lot better in google (and the other search engines) for a single long tail keyword.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

Welcome to my lens on Major League Baseball's 'Big Unit', Randy Johnson. He is definitely one of the most charismatic pitchers in the Major League and a future Hall of Fame member.Not only is he a great pitcher but he also donates lots of cash to charities. He recently made a $400,000 donation to the American Red Cross' relief efforts following the devastation in South East Asia. Through his "Strikeout Homelessness" program, which he started while with the Mariners, he has personally donated more than $300,000 to related charities and organizations.Randy's uniform number is 51 with the exception of the two years he played with the Yankees where his number was 41 and 1 year while he played for the Seattle Mariners he also wore the number 34.

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.

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...

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).

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!

Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show 'Wells Fargo Deadwood Stage' event featured John Y Nelson sporting a pair of engraved Colt Peacemakers. This article contains the story of how these guns came to England where they were photographed. There are many stories on the Internet about Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show but none (that I have found) tell about John Y Nelson and his superb pair of engraved Colt Peacemakers, up until now that is.

Eisenhower is President. Rock n' Roll is king. And Wade 'Cry-Baby' Walker (Johnny Depp) is the baddest hood in his high school.

Johnny Depp heads up a supercool cast as the irresistable bad boy whose amazing ability to shed one single tear drives all the girls wild - especially Allison Vernon-Williams (Amy Locane), a rich, beautiful 'square' who finds herself uncontrollably drawn to the dreamy juvenille delinquent and his forbidden world of rockabilly music, fast cars and faster women.

It's the hysterical high-throttle world of 1954 in director John Water's outrageous musical comedy.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

One of the only things more synonymous with music than long hair or tattoos... is clean bald chrome dome.
