2. How to get FREE reliable SMTP

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.

3. Shakin Stevens Video Showcase

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.

4. 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...

5. Cry Baby Video Showcase

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.

6. How to use FREE Proxys

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.

7. 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.

8. 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

9. Showaddywaddy Video Showcase

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.

10. 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.

11. Randy Johnson

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.

12. Flyff Video Showcase

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.

13. How to use Link Bombs to your advantage

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.

14. 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.

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!

16. ROSE Video Showcase

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.

17. The Stray Cats Video Showcase

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.

18. 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.

19. World Of Warcraft Video Showcase

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.

20. 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.
