Tips on How to Use Delicious For Social Bookmarking Social bookmarking has become popular in the last few years. The whole idea is to keep track of news and information you find interesting and to share that with others. To the extent that you do that well you should build a large network of people who share similar interests. Here are a few tips to help you do that more effectively through del.icio.us:Bookmark something every day - Don't just do it haphazardly. To be effective in social bookmarking you have to be consistent. If you haven't used your account in two or three months people will notice and they won't add you to their network.Add the one-click add-on to your browser - Whether you use Firefox or Internet Explorer, you can add an extension to your browser that allows you to add bookmarks with just one click without having to sign in to your account. This is a major time saver.Don't just bookmark your own websites - Most people will tell you not to bookmark your own sites at all. I think it's OK to do this as long as that's not all you bookmark. You can even tell people that a certain bookmark is your own website by making that note in the comments field. But if you bookmark other people's stuff - news, blogs, websites you find interesting, and anything that you like - more often than you bookmark your own stuff then you'll make a lot more friends.Add at least one new friend every day - When you bookmark an item, del.icio.us will tell you how many other people have bookmarked the same item. Click on that link and you can see their comments. Find a comment by a user that you like? Visit their bookmarks page and take a look at their bookmarks. If they have several bookmarks that you like then you've found a good friend. At the top of the page, click where it says "add to your network."Delete people from your network who do not reciprocate - There might be instances where you'll ignore this advice, but on the whole you want people in your network who are active users. An active user is someone who adds friends to their network. Give them a week or two to return the favor and if they don't then drop them.Be prolific in the use of tags - Use lots of tags. The more the better. Of course, they should be relevant to the item you are tagging. But if you bookmark an item that discusses collecting seashells by the seashore, for instance, then you can tag it with the following tags: collecting, sea, seashell, seashore, beach, beachcombing; and if the article is about a specific beach or location then add the geographic tags as well: Florida, Jacksonville, etc.Spend 15-20 a day bookmarking and networking - It doesn't take long to build a solid network of active users and a good list of bookmarks. If you add five items per day and two friends to your network every day then after one month you will have 150 bookmarks and sixty friends. This is easy to do in 15 minutes.Social bookmarking is a useful tool. Now that del.icio.us is owned by Yahoo it is pretty certain that the social site will stick around awhile. By adding links to your favorite sites you encourage others to share their interests with you. This builds link popularity and drives traffic to your favorite websites. Furthermore, if you don't already have an account, setting one up takes all of five minutes.If you desire more exposure for your business I strongly encourage the use of del.icio.us Scratch the backs of others and they'll scratch yours.Allen Taylor is the owner/operator of Taylor and Associates in Adams County, Pennsylvania.

Collecting Celebrity Memorabilia From Television Ever since it became a common place item in every household, television shows have been a regular part of the general public life. We all have favorite television shows and we all generally make an effort to follow those shows as closely as we can. For some of us, those shows move past something which we casually watch and become a bit of a habit for us. We are addicted to these shows which we love and become somewhat rabid fans. This moves us well past just watching the show every week to see the new episode. Our love of the show will drive us well past that.Instead, we want to become collectors of items which are related to the show. When a show is popular, companion books to the show are often published. These books will offer an inside glimpse at many facets of the show which might not otherwise be shown to fans. They can trace the historical origins of the show and offer predictions about where the show might be going. These companions can often offer interviews with the creators, actors, and crew of the show, showing special insights that fans would love to hear about.Most of these shows are released in DVD box sets now. These DVD box sets are often collectors items in their own rights, as they come in specially marked packaging and will offer a slew of bonus features. Commentary tracks, bonus features, and interviews included on these DVDs will often delight any fan, giving them more to know about the show. These DVD editions will often be labeled as Collector's Sets, giving them a place in the collections of any fan.These are not the only forms of celebrity collectibles, however. Additional items are also often available to be collected. Stills from the show can help to decorate any space as well as be valuable items, especially if the stills have been signed by members of the cast. Scripts from certain episodes will also make for good celebrity collectibles, as they will be items which the cast has used to create their show. Any of these items which may have played a part during the creation of the show are sure to be valued to someone making a collection of memorabilia based on their favorite television show.Items used during the filming of the show are also often available for collectors. Reality television shows in particular will often auction off the props from one of their seasons after the show is complete. These profits will very often be donated to charity. Other props might be available, such as items that were displayed in the background of certain scenes to props which the cast might have used during the takes of the show. Wardrobe from the show can also be a very popular item of celebrity collectibles as these are items which can be taken and used again by the fan if they so desire. Television offers a myriad of possibilities when it comes to celebrity collectibles, you only need a little imagination to find a place to start the collecting.Victor Epand is an expert consultant for autographed celebrity photos, celebrity collectibles, and autographed art. You will find it all at these sites for autographed celebrity photos, celebrity television collectibles.

Homeschool High School - Will a Perfectionist Do Well in Community College?

Homeschool High School - Will a Perfectionist Do Well in Community College? Dual enrollment (that is, enrollment in high school and college at the same time,) may not be the best option for homeschoolers, especially if your child has perfectionist tendencies.A common pattern works something like this: high-achieving teen feels unchallenged at home and goes to community college gets straight As with little or no effort then starts college at a real university works as hard as they did at community college (i.e., not much) gets poor grades because they used the same skills as when they were at community college teen feels stupid because of poor grades parents notice sadness, become concerned Our pediatrician said this is the common cycle that "perfectionist" kids go through during the transition from community college to a university. He said that as a doctor he never recommends dual enrollment (high school and college) while a child is in their high school years. He always recommends continuing high school or going to real college early.When we were in dual-enrollment, we couldn't find many classes that would challenge my son and at the same time not offend our faith. That meant my Poli-Sci son Alex spent most of his time in engineering physics and math classes with his brother. I'm glad he liked differential equations, LOL!In addition, we noticed that for the first time, my kids encountered people who didn't want to learn. People there thought passing meant over a 0.7 GPA, and that a 2.0 in a class was good. People didn't speak up in class, even when they knew the answer. The academic environment was very poor.I go to a lot of college fairs in my business. One community college took me aside and said "Please tell homeschoolers not to send their young children to community college! We have adjudicated people in the classes!" She said felons, including predators, were known to be on campus, and they worry about innocent homeschoolers.I live in very liberal Seattle, but I've heard very similar stories from a mom in Oklahoma.I know that lots of kids do well in dual enrollment. I've noticed that they typically aren't "perfectionist" kids. As the result of my experience, I recommend that people use dual enrollment only when they have completely run out of curriculum AND can't afford the costs of college. Dual Enrollment is not a panacea for gifted children.More importantly, though, you know your children better than anyone, and you know what will help them thrive. No situation is perfect, but you will find what works for you. I wanted to give you the benefit of other's experience, and relay the information that I got from my child's doctor.I asked my son if he thought community college had been a mistake. At the age of 20 he said "YES!" If I could do my life over again, I would have homeschooled college for two years, not one. Community college wasn't worth the cost of "free" education.Forgetting about record keeping is on of "The 5 Biggest Mistakes Parents Make When Homeschooling High School." If you are thinking about accreditation and transcripts, you are probably not going to make this mistake! Learn how to avoid all 5 mistakes in my free e-mail mini-course.My e-book, "The Easy Truth About Homeschool Transcripts" will show you how to how to package that great at-home education into an AMAZING transcript that will impress the colleges!Lee Binz, The HomeScholar, is an expert in "helping parents homeschool high school."

2009 Road to the Super Bowl

by: davidzneel Keywords: summer, tech, travel, tv, uk, video

2009 Road to the Super Bowl After nine weeks the NFL is shaping up with some very interesting matchings coming up. At this point there appears to be about ten teams with a decent shot at making it to the Big Game. Over the next four weeks figure in tough schedules, key injuries, and a little luck, and the field should narrow to the top four candidates. At this point The New York Giants and the Tennessee Titans look awfully GOOD. That being said the Pittsburgh Steelers, Carolina Panthers and Washington Redskins figure to contest the issue strongly.The schedule factor gives a favorable edge to The Washington Redskins, however, Pittsburgh, Tennessee, and Green Bay also have scheduling that could be in their favor. The New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles have a little tougher road to hoe.Also, keeping it interesting over the next four weeks is the emergence of three or four improving teams, i.e. watch Baltimore, New York, and Arizona.Next, the injury bug and Lady Luck will play their part too. Keep tuned for updates on Big Ben.As of this early date, Tennessee is 8-0, N Y giants 7-1, Carolina 6-2, Washington 6-2, Pittsburgh 5-2, NY Jets 5-3, New England 5-3, Chicago 5-3, Philadelphia 5-3, Green bay 4-4 and also, still hanging in there Tampa Bay 6-3, Chicago 5-3 , Baltimore 5-3 and Arizona 5-3. Give it three or four weeks and it will look a little clearer.How do the current win streaks look? Tennessee 8, NY giants 3, Philadelphia 3, Baltimore 3, Washington 2, Chicago 2, NY Jets 2. Just keep in mind some teams have had easier schedules so far but in the end it will even out a little more.Keep a watch on key matchups. Week 10 Tennessee @ Chicago and N Y Jets @ Philadelphia. Week 11 NY Giants @ New England, Chicago @ Green Bay, Baltimore @ NY Giants Week 12 NY Jets @ Tennessee, Philadelphia @ Baltimore, NY Gs @ Arizona, Week 13 Arizona @ Philadelphia, Carolina @ GB, NY Giants @ Washington, Pittsburg @ New England, Week 14 Philadelphia @ NY Giants, Washington @ Baltimore., Tampa Bay@ Carolina Week 15 Pittsburg @ Baltimore, Week 16 Pittsburg @ Tennessee, Philadelphia @ Washington, Arizona @ New England, Carolina 2 NY Giants, Green Bay @ Chicago, and Week 17 Tennessee @ Indianapolis, and Chicago @ Pittsburg. There you have it, Please keep in mind once the playoffs star it's a whole new ballgame.May all your sports dreams come true.Ashi, is a big fan and self proclaimed expert of NFL football.
