Monster Turbine In-Ear Speakers

If you’re working out or just enjoying your favorite music, choosing the right headphones is imperative. When exercising you need to make sure the headphones won’t fall out or off your ears when you get sweaty and start moving. If all you’re doing is lounging while listening to music, anti-sweat headphones or a pair which fits tightly in your ear probably isn’t necessary. For lounging, you could probably get away with headphones from some great company like Holoplot which go over the ear and provide the best noise cancellation and audio quality possible. However, some headphones work well in any situation, and the Monster Turbine High Performance In-Ear headphones are one of them.

Monster Turbine headphones sound great with any iPod or MP3 player. It does so by understanding sound and how it interacts with people, and designing headphones which suit this interaction the best. There are three general types of frequencies in music, low, medium, and high. Low frequencies are associated with the deep bass in today’s hip hop music. Monster Turbine headphones deliver real life volumes without distortion, meaning that you can turn up the volume on your headphones without fear of ruining the quality of the sound, or blowing the speakers.

Mid-range frequencies are where vocals and most instruments are reproduced. While no frequency can be regarded as the most important, a poor reproduction of mid-range frequencies would affect the most instruments and the vocals, making for a poor listening experience. Monster Turbine headphones are precisely tuned to reproduce the natural timbre of instruments and voices. No instruments will sound out of tune. No voices will sound warped. What you hear is the reality of the song, for all the good and bad that goes along with it.

High frequency sounds are typically percussive sounds such as the snare drum, triangle, and cymbals. In reproducing these sounds, it is important to create a sense of space, air, and openness. You don’t want these sounds to be muddled or blurred together. Especially in rock music, the separation of percussive sounds is important as they often occur off-beat and are important to the creation of dynamic sound in the song.
Monster Turbine headphones are low mass and have a wide bandwidth driver which deliver a precise, accurate response. Between this, and the elimination of vibration for pure sound, these headphones are a great product which can provide a high-quality listening experience. The headphones come with multiple eartip sizes which allow you to find the size which fits your ear the best. This is important in creating a seal which will keep the noise from the outside coming in.

A Duraflex protective jacket maximizes tangle resistance and durability, which is an unsung feature in the headphone world. However you store your headphones, if they are tangled when you go to use them again, untangling them is an incredibly frustrating experience. The Duraflex feature of Monster Turbine headphones makes it so you won’t have to worry about knotted headphones and finagling with tiny knots. You also don’t have to worry about the headphones becoming tangled with other stuff that you have. A Compact Protective Case with an ultra suede lining and magnetic clasp is provided with Monster Turbine headphones to store them when they are not in use.

Whether using headphones during exercise or just to relax, Monster Turbine headphones are a great choice. They provide a high quality listening experience and features which lessen frustration and maximize awesomeness.

How to Install TYPO3

 

TYPO3 is another content management system that is used by many. In my opinion, TYPO3 is a little easier to use than most of the other content management systems. This content management system comes with many built in ready to use interfaces, modules, and functions. TYPO3 has many features that you can install in one click. For example, you can install a news system, a gallery, a calendar and much more. There are over 800 extensions that you can install on TYPO3. You can easily install TYPO3 on your website by going through your control panel. In this tutorial I will show you how to install the TYPO3. So let’s begin.
Installing TYPO3 through your C-Panel

The first thing you need to do is login to your control panel. If you have more than one website make sure that you login to the control panel of the website that you wish to install TYPO3 on.

Once you are logged in, look for the Fantastico link and click that link. On the next page you will see a list of links down the left hand side of the page. Click the TYPO3 link under the Content Management System (.net cms) category.

The next page will give you a brief description of TYPO3. Under the description you will see the New Installation link, the amount of disk space required, and the amount of disk space that you have available. Make sure that you have enough disk space available before you proceed. TYPO3 is 30.12 mb. To continue with the installation, click on the New Installation link.

On the next page you will need to enter the required information to begin your installation. This is the first step of the actual installation. The fields are pretty self explanatory but the first couple of fields are where most people run into trouble. So I will walk you through the fields.

Installation Location

Install on Domain – You will have more than one option if you have sub-domains on this domain. If you don’t have a sub-domain then you won’t need to mess with this field. If you wish to install TYPO3 on a sub-domain simply drop the box down and select the sub-domain of your choice.

Install in Directory – When you install something on your website through your control panel, you have two options. Option 1 – You can install it in the root directory or Option 2 – You can install it in a sub-directory. If you install it in the root directory it means that it will be visible once you type in your domain. If you install it in a sub-directory then you will have to type in a certain link to access it. For content management systems, I think it is best that you install it in a sub-directory, so that you can play around with it and get the hang of it before moving it to your root directory. To install it in the root directory, simply leave this field blank. To install it in a sub-directory, enter the name of the directory. Make sure that the directory doesn’t already exist. For example, you can name the sub-directory typo3. So in order to access it you will type in http://www.yourdomain.com/typo3

The next two fields is where you enter a username and password to access the admin area of TYPO3. Then the next fields you will enter your site name, your name, and your email address. Once you have entered the required information, click the Install TYPO3 button to continue with the installation.

The next page will basically tell you that you have chosen to install TYPO3 on so and so domain and in so and so directory. If this information is correct, click the Finish Installation button. If you want to change this information, click the back button and change it.

The next page will tell you that you have successfully installed TYPO3. On this page you will see your username, password, the admin url, and the url to access TYPO3 if you installed it in a sub-directory. Now you are ready to begin setting up your content management system.

Quick Tips for Youthful Skin: Anti-Aging Skin Care

 

Most people spend their youth wishing they were older forgetting that with age comes aging! When they do finally become older they wish we were once again young or at least, younger looking.
While we wait for someone to discover the fountain of youth, there are a few quick tips both women and men can follow as part of an anti-aging skin care regimen to improve the tone and texture of the skin as well as help fight those wrinkles and blemishes.

The most important part of any anti-aging skin care regime is cleaning your face. During the day, your face is exposed to pollutants, dirt, dust and other common irritants. Ladies you should never go to bed without washing the day’s make up off. Keeping your pores clean is essential to your anti-aging skin care regime.

It doesn’t take much to clog the pores up with cosmetics, dirt and other small particles that can easily work their way in to you pores. You need to treat your skin gently to help aid the process of your anti-aging skin care regime. Using regular and harsh soaps will only cause more damage to your skin.

Your regular body soap is too harsh to wash your face with. It can cause dryness and flaking which in return only helps the wrinkles and blemish to flourish. You must use a gentle face cleaner to help win the anti-aging skin battle.

The weather plays an important role in our skins aging process, every time you step outside either in the sun or wind, natural moisture in your skin is affected by the elements and the skin is stripped of some of the moisture. A good gentle face moisturizer is as important as a good facial cleanser.

Stress is a part of everyone’s life and you may notice that a friend or neighbor who is under a good amount of stress looks a lot older than he/she actually is. Stress causes you to tense up and when you strain your facial muscles as well, which draws even more moisture out of your skin. A daytime anti-aging skin cream  as well as a nice derma roller amazon is something everyone should use to help protect your face from the elements and for women it acts as a protective barrier between your skin and makeup. A nighttime anti-aging skin cream will help your body with the natural process of repairing it’s self.

Over all taking good care of yourself is extremely important, being well hydrated and getting adequate amounts of rest plays an important role in your anti-aging skin regime.

While they eyes are the window to the soul, the skin is the window to your health and when you don’t take proper care of your body it shows on your skin. If you are going to neglect, your health there isn’t an anti-aging skin care regime in the world that can help you.

The best anti-aging skin care regime starts with staying well hydrated and getting enough rest. Wrinkle creams and lotions are only a supplement they are not a miracle cure for the aging process but they can produce amazing results if you do your part as well.

Date ideas for loved ones

One thing I am passionate about it thinking of gift ideas for your loved ones. One thing Is to Give each other massages. With all the stress from work you and your partner deal with, getting a massage every once in a while sounds pleasing. So, on such a cold night, why don’t you give each other a break and help release all of the tension the both of you hold?

Aside from this, why not Karaoke night! Do you want to sing your heart out but your voice doesn’t sound so charming? Why don’t you do it at home with your partner and sing a duet?

They may laugh at you, but trust me, they will never judge. There is actually an app you can install. But before anything else, check on access point test first on your internet so you will not be interrupted while you sing!

How to Lower Prescription Drug Costs

 

More than 45 million Americans lack health insurance-approximately 15% of the population. Are you one of them? According to Katharine Greider, author of The Big Fix , in 2000, 29% of Americans failed to fill a prescription because they could not afford the prescription. The cost of prescription drugs escalates at four times the rate of inflation. What can the average American do to keep up?
Some patients ask their doctors for free samples-but that only works for so long. Others stretch their medication, taking one pill every other day instead of every day, putting their health at risk. According to a report released by Families USA, the average senior citizen spent $1205 per year on prescription drugs in the year 2000-that’s more than $100 per month, out of pocket. And the costs continue to rise.

For senior citizens on Medicare, government prescription drug reforms help-but also bring increased Medicare premiums and limitations. In 2004 Medicare premiums increased by 17.5%–the largest increase in history-and the new prescription drug coverage for the lowest-income seniors is limited to $600 per year.

And what about people under 65? Middle class families? Children? There are so many gaps in the system. There are some strategies that take the bite out of prescription drug costs, though.

Buy generic. You’ve heard the advice before, and there’s a reason why: it’s worthwhile. Generic drugs have the same drug ingredients as name brand drugs, although they may have different coatings and fillers (which do not affect the drug itself). The average generic drug costs 30-65% less than name brand drugs-a substantial savings for you. Ask your doctor for generics whenever possible.

Buy in bulk. Ask your doctor to write a 90 day supply prescription, and order through the mail. For instance, a prescription for Levoxyl (a common thyroid medication) costs $13.99 for a 30 day supply at a local pharmacy-but only $29.97 for a 90 day supply through a bulk mail-order company such as Drugstore.com. Your savings? $12.00. Some pharmacies offer extra savings for new or transferred prescriptions as well: Drugstore.com gives you $10 off when you bring a new or transferred prescription, upping your savings to $22. And you save your time and gas money going to the pharmacy. The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy gives a list of approved mail-order pharmacies that meet state and federal requirements.

Ask for samples. Drug companies FLOOD doctors with samples for new drugs. The average drug company spends $21,000 PER DOCTOR on drug promotion. This includes advertising, free samples, free promotional items, conferences (that are free for physicians to attend) and so on. The pharmaceutical industry spends an incredible amount of money promoting their products. One way that money can trickle down to you is through free samples. It never hurts to ask your doctor for some samples, and many doctors will give you an entire month’s supply.

While high prescription drug costs are here to stay, savvy consumers can work to lower prescription costs and find a way to stay healthy and keep a fat wallet.

For beuaty products, I recommend you also look for FDA approved ones. Like the one my mother is currently using–a vitamin c serum for face which is really effective.

Right now, I am using a 360 kamera for added value.  360 camera are the in thing nowadays and you should get one. Let me know if you have upcoming projects I can work on.

Ways for a more beautiful skin ever

 

 

Drink a glass of water

“By the time you get up, you’ve gone several hours without water and are mildly dehydrated –and that can make you feel tired,” says Nicole Kuhl.

Drinking water in an empty stomach right after you wake you kick starts your metabolism for the day.

 

Don’t skip breakfast

Yes, we already heard it before, breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

 

“After sleeping all night, our metabolism and blood sugar are at their lowest; we need a healthy breakfast to re-energize us,” says Rebecca Scritchfield, R.D., a Washington D.C. based nutrition and exercise expert specializing in weight management. Think of a yogurt, an apple, and a whole grain to pack on your tummy in the morning.

 

 

Forbes said that rushing to the door with only a cup of coffee and an empty stomach won’t really kick start your day. Spend at least 30 minutes taking breakfast while mentally jotting down the things you need to accomplish for the day. It will also give time to talk with your family or friends.

 

Exercise

According to Coach Mark, women should be physically active as much possible. It does not to be an organized activity but an activity that will require physical activity will do. He suggests push-ups, split squats (leg dominant exercsie), and side planks for starters.  And when you do the exercising, turn up that upbeat playlist on Spotify to amp up your mood. Joining Zumba classes in the morning is also one way to make yourself energetic and enthusiastic throughout the day. I once read in a website, while lerning about ranking hostingów, that really exercise is a nice way to be healthy.

Get a daily dose of nature

Huffington Post said that getting up to surround yourself to nature is one way to let go of that groggy feeling in the morning.

A 10-15 minute walk to the park or along your neighborhood with your dog will help you prep up for the day.

Every morning promises a new beginning, not only for people who work to beat deadlines, but to people who chase their dreams and wants to be ahead of their game by starting early.  So say hi to your happy hormones and get ready for a day of energy and positivity! Of all, best to sleep early, do not spend more time in front of the comupter when you’re about to sleep.  Aside from this, we also deal with allergies. Soon to be mother and television personality Monet has been experiencing allergies for years now. But this bubbly and go-getter person, nothing can stop her from doing the things she loves even when allergies get in the way. “I’m always around different things that are dusty and feathery,” she said, adding that she started having allergies when she was still a young girl in Australia.  As she started her career and eventually got into sports and travelling with then boyfriend she can’t escape being exposed to factors that can trigger her allergy.

 

Allergies exist in different forms. Its symptoms vary from sneezing uncontrollably, or experience a runny nose paired with watery eyes. Allergy attacks might vary and it impairs the senses and hinders one from living your life to the fullest.  Allergy symptoms might be common among many people that it leads to a lot of misconceptions. Some of these myths include ignoring the allergy attacks, upon the belief that it will eventually go away. Sometimes, people go as far as exposing themselves to allergens in the hope that they will become immune to it.

There are also those who think that overtime, they will eventually outgrow their allergy and be “healed” completely.

 

“At home, my husband owns a pet cat that I’m super allergic to!” she said. “I love pets but I just can’t be around them for a long time, or else I’ll end up sneezing my way through the day. When this happens, I only trust the expert and take Claritin, the world’s number one allergy medicine.”

 

A better and more beautiful world with camera filters

I don’t understand the angst that many photographers direct toward the smartphone, photo filter users. I don’t have any clue– I would much rather live in a world with self search of inspiring photography coming from every direction, including under me, raising the bar so that I can continue to succeed at a high level with my photography rather than Coast. That’s what I think when I see great amateur photography. But, I realize that I’m probably in the middle road in that sense, As in that there is more people on the extreme side of every single one of me, and I’m kind of right in the center of the argument. Anyway, I’ve even started using some of these photo filter apps and I have to say that there are some really incredible ones. I am a bit of a purist, and I love using my DSLR, and stuff like that. None-the-less, I love using new technology and these apps all the time also. I love that I don’t have to Lug my big camera and all of my gear around with me everywhere that I go, and that I can just pull out my smartphone, or mobile device, snap a photo, take it into a photo filter app, manage all of the different properties of the image, and totally customize it in just a couple minutes. These apps also give you extra incentive, because, if they like your photos, they’ll put you into a stream in which people who are looking for stock photography may even purchase your photo. Sure, the app takes half of the profits, but usually, we don’t even make anything for our attempt, so this is really cool. It’s like Instagram with a possibility of making money. That seems pretty intense, doesn’t it? Makes you wonder how Instagram survives, when its competitors are offering to help you sell your photographs for money.

Storing big things

I never knew self storage spaces can also accommodate big things like boats, electronic appliances, and even cars! My friend stored his car because he will be away for two weeks and he needs to keep it in good condition. His parkway is not enough. I mean he do not trust that it will be safe and that he can still see his car. Our lawyer friend, who is a happy client of this cheap self storage company, recommended it. I also love how the self storage costs is not that heavy on the pocket just like other services. I am now planning to avail of my own booking for the storage when me and my family will go out of the country in the next months.

Exploring Singapore’s hidden pearl 

If you are the type of person who longs for serenity and solitude (like me), then a trip to the Southern Islands can satisfy that piece of heaven you are seeking.

Beyond what most people already know, Singapore has few undiscovered islands that offer a lighter part of life aside from its famous tourist destinations, high rise buildings and massive shopping malls.

Collectively known as Singapore’s Southern Islands, the 50-year old country has eight islets namely Sentosa, St. John’s Island, Lazarus Island, Kusu Island, Pulau Seringat, Pulau Tekukor and the two Sisters’ Islands.

I took the MRT to Marina South Pier and had a ferry ride thru Singapore Island Cruise and Services to visit three of the Fine City’s virgin islands, St. John’s Island, Lazarus Island and Kusu Island.

I and my friend, who is a tech geek (you know, the one who always think about new technology advancement, nas server test, product reviews of newly released gadgets and all) joined me in my trip to the Southern Islands. We boarded the Singapore Island Cruise for only 18 SGD.

There is no need to bring any VISA or enter an immigration when visiting the Southern Islands. Just your packed lunch and swimming attire.

Refreshing breeze, translucent turquoise water and awesome city view as the ferry departed from the pier made the 20-minute ride to St. John’s Island very unwinding and worthwhile.

Upon arriving St. John’s Island, we were welcomed by a long line of tourists waiting for their time to board and visit their next destination – the Kusu Island.

Despite overwhelmed by excitement to experience the sun and seawater, I was first waylaid by the interesting history of St. John’s Island.

Before the country opened the island for nature lovers, beach-goers and day-trippers, St. John’s Island was first known as the world’s largest quarantine center for cholera-stricken immigrants traveling from Mecca to Singapore in the late 19th century. It even became a penal settlement for political detainees and ringleaders of secret societies, then a rehabilitation of opium addicts.

Now, tourists get to enjoy the tranquil landscapes fit for picnics and photo shoots as well as frolicked along the powdery sands and saltwater in this lost paradise.

Enjoy St. John’s Island beach while having a pleasant view of the Merlion city.

Picnic tables, barbecue grills and cottages were everywhere for a place to stay and relax.

Anglers hooking up for a fresh catch as well as private cruise ships, yachts and speed boats were some of the sight to see along the causeway that linked St. John’s Island to Lazarus Island. Filled by the lush greenery, a short walk from Lazarus beach towards north led me to Pulau Seringat.

Causeway towards Lazarus Island

Currently, the islands are being developed to become an irresistible tourist spot by enhancing natural foliage and promote a resort-like experience. Due to its still and unspoiled seawater, travelers visit the place for a quick escape from the city life.

I had to return to the main jetty before four in the afternoon to catch my next ride to Kusu Island which is famous for its Chinese Temple and Malay Shrine.

I was glad to bring with me some mandarin orange and a bottled water as there were no food stalls or even souvenir shops available in the area. The cute tortoises, still waters and soft fine sands greatly killed my lazy afternoon.

Kusu Island means Tortoise Island in Mandarin. Tortoises are known to live long age, so there is a belief that touching them would bring longevity.

There is an old legend that a tortoise long before turned itself into an island to save two shipwrecked sailors.

The appeal of the islands may look undeveloped compared to the popular Sentosa Island but it was a pleasant experience to have that peaceful moment along the coastline and get lost on the few deserted spots left in Singapore.

Travelers enjoy the Merlion City for the variety of entertainment and world-class service it offers. But other than the usual, the Southern Islands breathed space on my clouded head and granted me that much wanted solitude while people-watching and embracing that sun-kissed skin.
