Washed It!

Fort Myers Video Production

It came from out of nowhere. One minute, basic websites were the norm, with blogs and a bit of audio at the most. Now we have interaction, videos, podcasts and all sorts of rich media filling them.

Most of us will have heard of YouTube, the viral video phenomenon and the effects it has on a company profile. To keep up with the trends, and make the most of the advantages video marketing offers, you need to know a bit about video production. To be able to produce good quality video that could just thrust your company into the limelight you need to either contract a professional or learn to make it yourself.

The attraction of many of the viral videos so far is that they have been made in bedrooms, basements or wherever, on a shoestring budget, but have the imagination, values or sheer appeal that captures our imagination. YouTube has become a Mecca for many web users of all ages and types who want to see what the world is up to.

Utilizing this attraction for the benefit of your business is a great concept, but you need an idea, a hook to capture that audience. The best way to use this guerilla marketing technique is to entertain. People don’t mind seeing promotions or advertising if they are entertaining. It also needs to be well made and adhere to video production values. There was a time when poorly produced videos were acceptable, no longer. With the advent of broadband, live streaming and decent compressed video formats, poor production is no longer tolerated.

One of the most effective viral marketing campaigns was for Blendtec. They posted videos of their blender destroying various items that wouldn’t normally be put in a blender like cell phones, marbles and magnets. Even though it was a marketing campaign, it was so entertaining that nobody minded. It raised the profile of the company and its products beyond their wildest dreams. That’s the power of internet video if you get it right.

The most difficult part of creating a guerilla campaign like this is coming up with an idea. If you can come up with something unique and entertaining you’re halfway there. Making the actual video should be quite straightforward, especially if you followed our blog on the three stages of video production.

Video can also be used for informational purposes. Instructional videos on a company website demonstrating products, showing how to assemble or use it, how to repair it and the uses it can be put to helps a potential customer visualize how they would use it. That removes a big barrier from selling over the internet, because it almost lets them touch it, which is the main disadvantage of distance selling.

Whatever you want a video to achieve, adding them to a website is a good idea. It shows you’re in touch, keeping up with technology and offering value-add services to your customers. They might not become the most viewed video in the world, but it will engage your audience, which is what every business wants.

Moving home is a stressful time for anyone, especially if you have young children. The Collier County family is an upwardly mobile one, and often strives to improve their situation, including moving to different areas to improve their career or lifestyle. What follows are some tried and tested tips on minimizing the stress of moving on young children.

Moving is a busy time, so make sure you set aside to time dedicated to your children. Depending on their age, explain what’s going on and that you might be busy and distracted until it’s all over. Involve them where you can in planning, visiting the new home and choosing furniture.

If you can visit the new home, see if you can check out local parks or play areas too. Their new school or day care may let you have a look around, removing many of the unknowns from the impending changes. This will help the transition as children can be scared of the unknown. Introduce the new environment in a positive way and see if you can’t meet a couple of the local children.

If they have questions, answer them honestly and enthusiastically. Be warm and caring and get them as excited about the move as possible by painting it in a positive light and highlight benefits of the move to them.

We know that children like to feel included in everything. Why not get some special moving boxes for them and let them pack their own toys or special things? Make it a size they can carry themselves, let them decorate it and put their names on it. Build it up to be a “special” box and let them keep it with them during the move. You’ll be surprised how attached they get to them and keep them long after the move.

Saying goodbye isn’t easy for any of us, certainly not for children. Waving goodbye to everything they have ever know can be a wrench, and we want to make that process as easy as possible for them. Let them know it’s okay to feel sad, that it’s natural and that you feel sad too. Let them air their feelings and talk about it at length. Play moving games with them and get them used to having boxes around.

Once moved, try to return to the established routine as quickly as possible. It will take a while for them to get used to their new reality, but the comfort of the old routine in the new place will help them along. Talk to them about how they feel and reassure them everything’s okay. Let them keep their “special box”  if they like and give them as many opportunities to meet the local children as possible. New friends are the magic tonic to curing feelings of displacement.

Moving is going to be stressful for the parents too, but we have to suck it up and get on with it. Being strong for your children should be second nature, but make sure the stresses and strains of a move are kept as far away from the children as possible. They are amazing, adaptable creatures and will soon get used to their new reality.

I just find it funny that Balloon boys parents were punished for the balloon hoax yet not A SINGLE banker has been punished in any way shape or form for the financial collapse.

Bioshock 2 DRM: SecuROM, activation limits, and bears

Bioshock 2 will come both as a boxed retail product and a for-pay digital download if that's more to your taste. Looking at the game's page on Steam reveals something disappointing for those of us against invasive DRM: the game will utilize SecuROM and comes with a five-machine activation limit.

2K Games dealt with this decision head-on via its official forum. “BioShock 2 is using a standard Games for Windows Live activation system, much like other games you have played in the past,” a 2K Community Manager writes. “That doesn't mean you always have to be online to play or save the game—you can create an offline profile for the Single Player portion of the game (you just won't earn achievements and you can't play Multiplayer, of course.)” Of course.

“We are using SecuROM only as a disc check method for the retail copy of BioShock 2. That is it's only use.”

Well, there is also that pesky five-machine limit, which many of our readers find intolerable. Will this lead to lower sales? Who knows. It's important to know what you're buying for your money, however. A quick note: Shacknews lists the activation limit at 15 machines, but as of this writing the listing claims five. We've included a shot of the screen so you can see for yourself. It's very possible that could change before launch.

The term ‘dry-cleaning’ is a bit misleading really, although it doesn’t involve water, it is not really “dry”. Instead, it uses an organic solvent rather than water to clean.

Dry-cleaning is chosen when water and soap or detergent would damage the fabrics. It is also very useful for items that are too delicate to be washed in the normal laundry and for those that would otherwise need to be washed by hand.

All your clothing and items are tagged for identification and then inspected for any damages or loose buttons and such, which the dry-cleaner notes down, for accountability later. The garments will then be examined for any stains, which will then be pre-treated with specific stain removers. This will either remove the stain or make it easier for it to be removed later in the process.

Garment are grouped according to color-fastness and then loaded into a dry-cleaning machine, which is a combined washer-extractor-dryer. The clothes sit in a perforated, stainless-steel drum or basket, which rotates and churns the clothes around, while a constant flow of cleaning solvent is pumped into the basket, spraying and saturating all the clothes, as well as gently pounding them against the baffles of the cylinder. The dirty solvent is then pumped out through the filter, which traps all dirt, and the filtered solvent is then re-circulated and used again. For the final rinse, the basket is rinsed with fresh distilled solvent.

Once the clothes have been through the “washing cycle”, the basket is spun rapidly to expel all remaining solvent using centrifugal force. Next, the drying involves a continuous stream of warm air circulating through the basket while the garments are turned and tumbled around. Any remaining solvent and fumes are quickly vaporized in the warm air, which is then cooled and condensed over cooling coils. Any distilled solved extracted from this air current is returned to be re-used in future cycles.

Finally, there will be a “post-spotting” phase where the garments are examined again for any remaining stains and then the appropriate stain removers applied to tackle them. Most stains and spots should be removed but occasionally, some marks will be resistant.

Before allowing the clothes to be collected, they will undergo a finishing phases where they will be pressed, steamed then ironed and reshaped so that they look their best. Many professional cleaners will also make any necessary repairs, so that your clothes are given back to you in excellent condition.

Call Of Duty: World At War is the fifth title in the Call Of Duty franchise and is set to debut in November. The game is being developed by Treyarch but utilizes an updated version of the same proprietary engine used by Infinity Ward for coming up with the hugely successful Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Comparisons

The question on everyone’s mind seems to be, “Will it be better than COD4?” No one can really tell until the game hits the streets but, based on early reviews, it’s potentially on the same level. What seems certain though is that it’s going to be better than the much-maligned and excessively-rushed COD3, also developed by Treyarch.

While COD4 brought the series well into modern times, World At War will bring it back to its World War II roots. Since it will use the same engine as the former title, it should be safe to expect immersive graphics and rich environments. Hopefully, the gameplay will prove just as intense. The updated COD4 engine has been fitted with a new physics system, which should render flying bodies and similar effects more life-like and authentic.

Gameplay

World At War, like the rest of the games in the series, will be a first-person military-based shooter. Like its predecessors, it will have a single player and a multiplayer mode.

World At War’s single player campaign adopts the same narrative format successfully implemented in COD4. Like in the award-winning title, the player gets to jump between different characters and roles with a squad of AI-controlled soldiers supporting him.

New effects have been implemented to mimic real-life situations even closer. During fires, for instance, smoke will affect the gameplay drastically, leaving your team unable to see clearly and short of breath. In order to survive past the smoke, you will need to crouch and crawl your way to safety.

The same carefully-designed weapons in COD2 should appear in the game, hopefully with some brand new additions. A number of lethal fire-based weapons will be available (including flame throwers), along with flammable environments, making way for additional combat possibilities with plenty of explosions. According to recent interviews with the developers, the flame thrower is particularly important during the course of the game. Bullets can now be used to cut holes into thin walls, allowing enough of a gap to climb through and potentially surprise your enemies.

Possibly one of the most interesting additions to the whole game will be the advent of the Japanese Imperial Army. They are, essentially, a new enemy in the game and come fitted with a fresh slew of combat tactics and strategy. While they initially fitted the Japanese soldiers with regular Call Of Duty AI, it made for an awkward enemy, forcing Treyarch to perform in-depth research and development to bring genuine Japanese guerrila-style warfare tactics into the game. Soldiers who lived by the Bushido code, after all, should behave differently than their Western counterparts. Banzai charge and kamikaze attacks, anyone?

Since it’s not yet out, no hacks are currently available for World At War. It’s assumed, though, that much of the same functions will be fitted to its cheats as what were made available in COD4. The Aimbots (both vector and hitbox) were especially useful. Same with the various hacks to display enemy positions (Full 3D Map, Minimap Hack), those that allowed you to snipe opponents from afar or behind walls (Increased View Distance, Autowall) and those that gave you access to weapons beyond your class level. So yes, one can be sure that Call of Duty 5 hacks are due very soon.

Multiplayer

As of this writing, six multiplayer modes (including Team Deathmatch and Capture The Flag) have been announced with the likelihood of many more, considering that COD4 had 13 variants.

The biggest news so far is an exciting new mode, multiplayer coop, which allows up to four players to simultaneously play World At War for one objective. It can be played on a single console via split screen or online. The coop is definitely a fascinating addition, extending the series’ playability over the long haul.

An additional cooperative mode featuring Nazi zombies can be unlocked once the single player campaign is finished. In the special game, up to four players will be set in conflict against undead Nazi soldiers. Players can earn points by facilitating kills and successful hits which can then be used to purchase additional weapons and accessories.

With the possibility of multiple players on cooperative modes, objectives will be more open-ended with numerous ways to complete missions. Multiple, simultaneous tasks are also present on different levels which can end up branching the flow of action to more than the typical linear path. While that is the official word, most fans simply assume it will be a minor change, leaving the game to its linear and sequential roots.

The perks system is retained for the online multiplayer mode, allowing individual characters to be fitted with unique abilities and skillsets.

Story

World At War features two campaigns in story mode. The first one depicts the United States Marine Corps’ battle with the Imperial Japanese Army in the Pacific while the second one follows the Soviet Red Army’s advance on Berlin. As such, it will be set in the Pacific theater and Eastern fronts of the second World War.

Big Shoes To Fill

With COD4’s critical and commercial success, World At War finds itself with big shoes to fill. The developers are stepping up – going so far as to hire popular actors like Kiefer Sutherland (24 fame) and Gary Oldman to voice the characters. Hopefully, it won’t disappoint the same way Treyarch’s ill-fated COD3 did. By all indications during initial reviews and first-looks, though, World At War doesn’t look like it will.

Santa’s reindeer only have to work one night a year, yet they can still let Santa down when he most needs them.

Department store Santa Adrian Reed, 53, a father of three from Estero, was due to visit a children’s home to offer gifts and cheer to children without families of their own when his transport broke down.  As usual there wasn’t a cab to be found when you need one, but local limo driver Alan Marshall, 47, came to the rescue.

Having just dropped his client off at the store he saw the disappointed Santa by the road and asked him what was up.  Upon hearing the woeful tale of a broken sleigh and the potential of children without their gifts, Alan immediately came to the rescue.  He offered the use of his limo to transport Santa to his destination in style.

In an interview after the visit, store Santa Adrian said, “Alan just came over to chat and asked what was wrong.  He helped me, and the children out and for that we are all extremely grateful.  The Christmas spirit is still strong in some people, and I’m glad I found one when I needed them most.  We arrived at the home in style, all the children were gathered outside and cheered when they saw my head out the limo window.  It was a great gesture, one that made a real difference to some kids who really need a lift.”

By all accounts the children really did enjoy Santa’s visit, even if he didn’t bring his reindeer with him.  A limo is a fitting mode of transport for this season’s most important person.  He works all year ensuring all the world’s children are happy with their presents so should be able to sit back and let someone else drive him around.

Alan certainly thinks so.  “I was just in the right place at the right time to help out Santa Claus.  I couldn’t very well leave him standing there.  There are people who count on him to get where he needs to go.  I have a little boy of my own and I know he would be distraught if he was expecting to see Santa but he didn’t arrive.  You can’t do that kind of thing to kids.”

The department store has now contracted Alan’s parent company, Naples Transportation to provide the same service to Santa for the next five years ensuring Santa always gets where he needs to go.

Santa’s reaction to the news?  “Travelling by limo is better than a cab any day, and almost as good as my sleigh.  The reindeer will appreciate the time off I’m sure.”

Moving a Website to a New Domain but Keep the Page Rank

Google Page Rank is important to a lot of people, and many base their decisions around it. There is now no excuse to stay with an underperforming or useless domain name if you can move it and keep the rank.

There are many reasons why you might want to move domain names. Two have already been mentioned. Usefulness is a big factor, one that most of the webmasters out there are keen to compete on. Underperforming is something else entirely. Some domain names just work, they do. They are either perfectly descriptive, niche names or you got there before everyone else did. If you have a page that appears high on the SERP, you may put up with bad ones in order to retain the result. Well no longer do you have to.

I have tried this one myself, which is why I’m writing about it now. I moved a site from a .com domain to a .org a little over three months ago. It had a Page Rank of four before the move, and I was a little apprehensive that all my good work would have been for naught. However, the new site is now back at four, right where we started from!

So here is what I did.

Firstly, and obviously I did a 301 redirect on the old domain and pointed it to the new one. Then I pointed the new .org domain to the website directory. Within that directory I created a folder called “com-site.” The name could have been anything but the descriptive title would remind me what it was if I was having a blonde day.

Within the “com-site” directory I created a new .htaccess file in order to tell browsers, and search engines what to do. The code I used was:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.websitename.org/$1

Then I tested from every browser that typing in the old .com address it redirected to the .org one. It may have been overkill, trying each browser, but it’s a habit I got into when first starting out in web design.

Then I pointed the old domain to the “com-site” directory and tested again with each browser. It didn’t work at first, but after a couple of hours it got picked up and started working properly. My patience was tested, as I was ready to take action and undo it all, but luckily I was interrupted by some work, and by the time I went back it was working.

I then updated the sitemap.xml file to reflect the new domain name and deleted the sitemap from Google. I replaced it with a new one and sat back to wait. Approximately three months later, after many days with the Google toolbar, it showed PR4 again. Not trusting the toolbar on its own, I went to Webmaster Central, and lo and behold, I was PR4 again!

I’m sure most of you out there already know this one, but I was so pleased it worked that I just had to share.

Déplacement d'un site vers un nouveau domaine mais garder le Page Rank Google Page Rank est important pour beaucoup de gens, et la base de beaucoup de leurs décisions autour d'elle. Il n'ya maintenant aucune excuse pour rester avec un sous-performants ou nom de domaine inutile si vous pouvez le déplacer et à maintenir le rang. Il ya plusieurs raisons pour lesquelles vous pouvez renommer les noms de domaine. Deux ont déjà été mentionnées. L'utilité est un facteur important, celui que la plupart des webmasters là-bas sont désireux de concourir sur. Sous-performant est tout autre chose. Certains noms de domaine de travail juste, ils le font. Ils sont soit parfaitement descriptive, les noms de niche ou vous y êtes arrivé avant tout le monde fait. Si vous avez une page qui semble élevé sur les SERP, vous mai mis en place avec les mauvaises, afin de conserver le résultat. Eh bien non plus le faire vous devez.

The arrival of the Internet and the creation of the World Wide Web brought something different in the lives of men. A lot of things became convenient particularly communication. We used to contend and gripe about slow paced postal mails which came to be known as snail-mails. Today, we cannot imagine a world without Internet connectivity in our midst because a lot of our businesses depend greatly in our emails. Until we learned to create a blog which we used to communicate our thoughts to whoever would be interested to read it.

To create a blog site could be easy if you know where to find the right tools you could use as well as understand the different applications. A blog site which is opposed to a website contains mostly your personal views. Later on, Google made it all easy when this Internet giant provided the user not only the use of free emails, but also free resources to create a blog site. Google's Blogger, is quite user friendly, dispensing of the need to go into tutorials just to create a blog site where you could post just about anything.

Google also made it possible to create a blog site to earn some form of income, when they included adwords and adsense features to the Blogger. Later on, the use of keywords became significant especially when thinking up of your blog title should you decide to create your own blog site. Since the Google advertising tools also made use of keywords to install their ad spots, the blogger then became conscious that keywords are necessary tools, if they are to create a blog to fill up their site. Search engines include just about any keyword related content and your earning potentials are enhanced if a lot of people were to visit your blog site.

To create a blog content, there are no limitations to the topic you choose to discuss for as long as they are not pornographic or illegal in nature. A dashboard is provided at your disposal where you can create a blog to post and publish as your content with very little need for a formal tutoring. “WYSIWYG” or “What You See is What You Get” is the term used to describe the Blogger's dashboard. The individual blogger is not required to be knowledgeable about HTML just to publish and create a blog content. Simply paste your blog draft whether from text pad or Word Document and the “WYSIWYG” will take care of the rest.

You can explore all other features when you create a blog site, like changing the templates, fonts, inserting links or adding images since they can be previewed or easily deleted in case your first try turns out awry. The Blogger's basic tools for adding widgets and all other popular gadgets are also very accessible and user friendly.

The Internet user has come a long way in harnessing the World Wide Web to make his existence known all across the globe. He only needs to create a blog site and let everyone know what he thinks about himself, his family and friends, his religion, his work, about the US President, about wars, or even contribute his knowledge about health, love, parenting, and just about everything and anything under the sun.
