Precious metals are very profitable investment. It includes gold, silver, platinum and other rare commodities. When a person is investing one of the most important factors to consider is the budget.

Book Review - Play Bass With the Police

I'm a great fan of people learning how to play bass to learn some basic technique and acquire some basic fingerboard knowledge and then apply that to some real world songs. But I'm also realistic enough to know that it's difficult for those new to learning how to play bass to work bass lines out for themselves from records. A lot of beginners use the tabs that proliferate on the Internet - often these are inaccurate or even plain wrong. Published books of transcriptions usually form a much better source of material for beginners to learn from.

One such book is Play Bass With The Police.

Now this book is published by Wise Publications and is easier to find in the UK and Europe than it is in North America. However you can find it - and if you're a beginner I do recommend that you make the effort to track it down and order it.

This book contains nine Police bass lines. They are notated out in standard music notation and bass tab. Additionally there is a CD that comes with the package that has versions of the track with the bass on - so you can hear how it is supposed to sound - and then also has a version of the track without the bass on so that you can play along in a reasonable simulation of a band setting.

The songs included in the book and on the CD are:

Can't Stand Losing You Don't Stand So Close To me Every Breath You Take Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic Message In A Bottle Roxanne Spirits In The Material World Synchronicity II Walking On The Moon

The book is presented in a soft binding. If you've read any of my reviews you know that I favour spiral binding for music books. Also another minor gripe, some songs are spread out over three or four pages so it's impossible to 'read' from the notation for a complete song.

The CD that comes with the package is well recorded - the instruments are well recorded and the standard of playing doesn't let the tunes down.

I recommend this book/CD package for beginners learning how to play bass because although Sting's bass lines are often easy, they very often contain interesting little rhythmic quirks, or interesting choices of notes. These reflect his background both as a jazz musician and a song writer (and a detailed working knowledge of harmony and how chords function).

The advantage of this book over the other Police bass lines book that is out there is the CD and the playalong aspect. This book gets a 4 star rating, and is recommended for beginners and low intermediates.

Cell/Cordless Phones and the Link to Malignant Brain Tumours

Until recently, there had been a lack of information about the health risks from cell phones by doctors and scientists in the Unites States and Canada. Dr. Ronald B. Herberman's recommendation to drastically reduce the use of cell phones, especially with children, has begun to shine a light on the information regarding phone radiation that has been lacking in the U.S. Dr. Herberman is by no means the first to bring attention to the dangers of cell phone radiation.

Research by University of Washington professor Dr. Henry Lai shows brain cells are clearly damaged by microwave levels far below the U.S. government's 'safety' guidelines. Dr. Lai notes that even tiny doses of radio frequency can accumulate over time and lead to harmful effects. He warns that public exposure to radiation from wireless transmitters 'should be limited to a minimum.'

Dr. Henry Lai's studies confirm that cell and cordless phone microwave can:

Damage nerves in the scalp Cause blood cells to leak hemoglobin Cause memory loss and mental confusion Cause headaches and induce extreme fatigue Create joint pain, muscle spasms and tremors Create burning sensation and rash on the skin Alter the brain's electrical activity during sleep Induce ringing in the ears, impair sense of smell Precipitate cataracts, retina damage and eye cancer Open the blood-brain barrier to viruses and toxins Reduce the number and efficiency of white blood cells Stimulate asthma by producing histamine in mast cells Cause digestive problems and raise bad cholesterol levels Stress the endocrine system, especially pancreas, thyroid, ovaries, and testes

For the last 40 years everyone has been told of the dangers of smoking. Today, wireless phone research stands where smoking research stood then. Recent news has stated that cell and cordless phones can lead to brain tumors. Dr. Vini Gautam Khurana, a Mayo Clinic-trained neurosurgeon with an advanced neurosurgery fellowship in cerebral vascular and tumour microsurgery from the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Arizona, published a critical review stating that "malignant brain tumour incidence and its associated death rate will be observed globally to rise within the next 10 years due to cell phone use." Dr. Khurana believes that children are at the greatest risk due to brain tissue that is developing. Still today, with the dangers we know about smoking, hundreds of thousands of people die yearly from smoking related ailments. Dr. George Carlo, Ph.D, M.S., J.D, is a public health scientist, epidemiologist, lawyer, and the founder of the Science and Public Policy Institute, believes that by 2015, "one out of every four people will suffer from some symptom of illness from cell phone use." Starting today, we need to limit the use of cell phones, especially among children, and eliminate non-essential calls.

Our most precious resource, our nation's children are exposed to a risk that no one seems to notice: cell phone radiation. While scientists around the world are pressuring their local governments to restrict the use of wireless devices by children, the U.S. and Canada do nothing. Go to any mall, movie theater, or school and you'll see young people all with one ear to the newest devices on the market. The brain of a child is constantly developing, undergoing changes and obtaining more information in a few short years at a rate that won't be matched for the rest of their lives. Add to this the radiation from cell phone exposure through the inner ear and it creates a laboratory with unknown consequences. Studies over the last five years have shown that the rate at which children develop autism is concurrent with increased cell phone use. The studies also suggest the electromagnetic radiation from wireless devices (like cell phones) in conjunction with environmental and genetic factors all increase the incidence of autism.

With the prevalence of the link of cell phone use to cancer in the media as of late, professions other than just those in the medical community are beginning to take notice. The article Cell Phone Use and Cancer: The Debate Continues from LawyersandSettlements.com discusses the possible link of Senator Ted Kennedy's brain tumor to cell phone radiation from a Larry King Live show whose topic dealt with cell phones.

On May 23, 2008, The Larry King Show's topic was "Are Cell Phones Dangerous?" CNN Medical Director, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, was very supportive of the fact that mobile phones could be dangerous. Guests on the program that evening included Johnnie Cochran's widow and his neurosurgeon. Johnnie Cochran had died from a brain tumor three years ago. At that time, his daughter had attributed his death to his cell phone use. The tumor which killed him was located behind the ear he had used while talking on his phone.

Near the end of the program, Dr. Gupta made two suggestions which he felt would decrease the potential risk from mobile phone usage:

Use a case on your hip to hold your phone. Use a wired headset to keep the cell phone away from the ear.

Both of these suggestions are wrong!

The reason why carrying a mobile phone on the hip isn't any safer than carrying it in your pocket is the fact that it transmits radiation directly into the body while your cell phone is on. For men, studies done by the American Society for Reproductive Health have shown that this radiation affects men's fertility and can lower sperm count. For pregnant women, carrying a mobile phone this way may affect the unborn child's future behavioral patterns, according to a recent UCLA study. What should be done is when the cell phone is not being used, shut it off.

As for wired headsets, studies in Europe by one of the most influential consumer protection organizations concluded that wired headsets increase radiation into the ear by as much as 300%! Bluetooth devices are nearly as dangerous since the signal from the phone transmits radiation directly into the ear.

Moving Your Piano Safely

Moving a piano is not an easy task, and it is not a task that should be undertaken lightly. Not only are pianos very heavy items to lift and move, you can cause unprecedented damage to your body, to surrounding objects, and to the piano itself when you are unaware of how to best move it from one place to another; whether to a new room or to a new home entirely.

If you're assisting in moving the piano, here are some tips to follow during the moving process. It is important that you ensure maximum safety and care at all times and these tips are just a guide. If you're not sure about moving a piano, always seek external professional advice and help.

Wear gloves.

If you're moving the piano outside and transporting it on a vehicle, cover it in plastic to protect it during the move.

Make sure the lid is closed and securely locked and any items on top of the piano are removed.

Ensure the piano is accessible from all sides so it has the maximum amount of support.

Roll it where you can and lift gently over more difficult surfaces such as carpet.

If the piano has legs, ensure that any movements you make don't strain or bend the legs. Be gentle and be careful.

Evenly balance the weight distributed to each person who is carrying the piano's weight. If it becomes unbalanced during the course of the move, stop, rearrange the way the piano is being moved, and begin moving again. Take this process slowly.

Make sure the piano's path is clear so that there are no obstructions.

Move carefully and slowly; moving a piano slowly is the best way to ensure that neither it nor any surrounding people or items become collateral damage.

You can buy special dollies intended for the sole purpose of moving pianos. This does NOT mean that moving the piano will be easier; it just means that it might make transportation SLIGHTLY easier.

Be aware that by moving a piano yourself, you may be putting yourself and others at risk. Only move a piano yourself if you absolutely have to or cannot afford a professional piano mover. The cost of the damage to the piano and people moving it can exceed the cost of a professional mover, so take that into consideration before you try moving a piano without professional assistance.

It is ALWAYS advised to let a professional mover move your piano. If in doubt, contact Redberry Removals for a quote or piano moving advice.

Day Trading Stock Tip Lesson - Maximize The Use Of Your Day Trading Software

Having worked on several trading software platforms, including giving lessons to fellow traders on how to use their software packages better, I have noticed that many could use a "refresher course" on how to use their day trading software! Many day traders fall into the trap of blaming some other party (the ECN routing mechanism, the specialist, their internet connection, etc.) for their losses; yet when these same day traders were asked if they used the "XYZ" function on their software packages they sheepishly replied that they did not even know they had such capabilities at their fingertips!

Here is a quick day trading stock tip lesson, focusing on what you can do to learn more about your day trading software package's functions:

Either visit your day trading software company's website, or call your online day trading broker and ask your representative for the URL, to download the latest user's manual. Yes, I know that these manuals can be cumbersome - and some are not updated regularly - but it is the best place to start when learning about your day trading software package. From the same website, or by calling your broker, and for the latest official "Release Notes." The day trading software firms usually will release Release Notes; and in these notes you will find the latest new functionality. Some firms even include their "Bug Fixes" which means that they officially corrected a particular error in the software. From the day trading software's website, or by calling your online day trading broker, ask if the software has video training or a pre-recorded training "webinar". Watch these videos to learn about new features or to give yourself a "refresher course" and learn how to better use the tools you already use every day. Once you have read the manual, Release Notes, and watched any videos, ask if your broker can assign you a temporary "Demo" password. Tell them that you want to try a new function of the day trading software, but you do not want to risk live money as you learn the appropriate keystrokes and mouse clicks.

Use these four suggestions to learn how to better use your day trading software. If you want more suggestions on this topic, or any software-related day trading stock tip lesson, let me know.

Domain Transfer Information

Determine where a domain name is currently hosted

Domain transfers are without a doubt one of the most confusing things to a domain name owner, especially if you've never done it before and you don't have a clue as to where to start. Unfortunately; it's a fact and I can't make it easy for you. But I can try to ease it up a bit.

The first thing you need to do is determine where a domain name is currently hosted. To do this, I must do a whois search.

Go to one of the websites below:

http://betterwhois.com

http://allwhois.com

[http://completewhois]

For this example; I will use betterwhois.com. Type your domain name in the text box provided.

The whois database gives info about the registrant: administrative contact, the technical contact, and the billing contact; including addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. This is available to the public.

I want info about notreallyadomain.com for this example. This domain does not exist, so any information is for example purposes only.

This is what you will see:

Domain names in the .com, .net, and .org domains can now be registered with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net for detailed information.

Domain Name: NOTREALLYADOMAIN.COM

Registrar: TUCOWS, INC.

Whois Server: whois.opensrs.net

Referral URL: http://domainhelp.tucows.com

Nameserver: NS1.NOTREALLYANAMESERVER.NET

Nameserver: NS2.NOTREALLYANAMESERVER.NET

Updated Date: 07-jan-2004

Creation Date: 08-mar-1997

Expiration Date: 08-mar-2006

The Registry database contains ONLY .COM, .NET, .ORG, .EDU domains and Registrars.

So, to break the whois search down:

Domain Name: The domain name you have inquired about

Registrar: The registrar the domain has been registered with

Whois Server: Who is database this information was pulled from.

Referral URL: The URL of the Registrar - who you need to contact in order to change the domain from one nameserver to the other, either by physically talking to them or using control panel access.

Primary Nameserver: The first nameserver the domain currently resides on.

Secondary Nameserver: The second nameserver the domain currently resides on.

Two nameservers are generally used, if the primary nameserver breaks; then the secondary can take over the primary nameserver duties until the primary is fixed.

Updated Date: When the whois record was last updated.

Creation Date: When the domain name was created.

Expiration Date When the domain name expires.

This domain was registered through an Opensrs registrar/reseller. Scan the who is database; you will usually find the Registrar contact info. In this case; the info was towards the bottom:

Registration Service Provider: Domainmonger.com, service@domainmonger.com +1.425-821-8032 http://www.domainmonger.com

I would then go to domainmonger.com.

Providing I have my userid and password; I could login and change my nameserver info, contact info or any number of functions. Once I have changed my nameserver info, there is generally a propagation period as the internet as a whole updates with new DNS information.

For a new domain name, count on anywhere from 12 - 24 hours. For a domain name that is already in existence, and has already been moved, it can take anywhere from 12 - 72 hours. There is no definitive time, unfortunately. I’ve had domains propagate in a matter of hours, and I’ve had a couple take two weeks or more.

Recommendations to keep your domain name maintenance hassle-free:

Never use your domain name as part of your email address on your contact email for your whois record. Use a web-based email like Yahoo or Hotmail. If you experience any kind of issue, you'll be emailed at your contact email, and if it's your domain name and it's broken, you're out of luck.

Use yourself as a technical contact on your whois record. Use a second email address as well. Hosting companies do go out of business, and this could hinder your access should you want to move the domain name.

Keep track of the email addresses you use as contacts, the userids and passwords. Keep track of your domain name - when you ordered it, when it expires. If you let the domain name expire, your website will not be accessible through the domain name. Keep track of any userids/passwords associated with domain name maintenance.

Food - Tips On Properly Storing Food

Keeping your foods properly stored in the cabinet or refrigerator is something that should be taken seriously. Not only will storing your food correctly make it last longer, but it can also keep you healthier. Improperly storing foods can lead to harmful bacteria and spoilage. Let's take a look at a few helpful tips to keep your foods fresh and lasting longer.

Vegetables

Keep your vegetables stored in the food crisper in your refrigerator. You can put all your vegetables in there except for tomatoes, onions, potatoes and garlic. Keep your potatoes, onions and garlic in dark place, or even in a paper bag, but not the refrigerator.

You should keep your vegetables in plastic bags to hold their moisture and nutrients. You will also put tomatoes in a plastic bag after cutting them.

Fruits

Most people think they should leave apples sitting out on the table in a fruit bowl, but the truth is, they should be stored in the refrigerator. All types of berries should also be stored in the refrigerator. One fruit that should never be put in the refrigerator though is a banana. It will immediately turn black. Not a pretty sight.

Melons, including watermelons, should be stored at regular room temperature until they become ripened. Once ripe they should then be stored in the refrigerator. The same can be said for grapes.

Other citrus type fruits can be left outside at room temperature or kept in the refrigerator. It doesn't really matter with these fruits.

Frozen Foods

When freezing leftover foods, be sure to put them in an airtight container, or Ziploc bag to maintain freshness. If you don't, you will have ice crystals form and your foods will be freezer burnt.

Meats, chicken and pork can also be put in the freezer to keep. Be sure you do not re-freeze these foods after thawing them out. You must use them after thawing, or throw them out.

Milk And Dairy Items

Naturally you will always store milk in the refrigerator, but be sure to keep an eye on the expiration date. Throw it out after the expiration date. Another good tip is to buy milk from the store with an expiration date well into the future. Look for gallon containers in the rear of the dairy shelves in the grocery store. They will have the latest expiration dates.

It is also a good idea to check expiration dates on all your dairy items at least once a week. This includes eggs also.

Meats

Always keep fish, meats, chicken and pork in the refrigerator until you prepare them for eating. You want to make sure you keep these items wrapped and away from other foods in your refrigerator to prevent bacteria and keep them from contaminating other foods.

One important tip to keep in mind is that fish should be eaten within two days of purchase.

Other Items

Keep your canned foods in a pantry that is cool and dark. This includes cereals, oils, breads and pasta.

Food storage certainly is not difficult, but it does require a little bit of attention on your part. By properly storing your foods you will keep your foods lasting longer and your family will stay healthier.

The 4 Most Common Questions About the Hip Flexor

Below I have answered some of the most common questions that I have received from readers of the site; hopefully these can clear up some misconceptions about the Hip Flexor.

Q: I'm confused on where the Hip Flexor is located, can you clarify this?

A: It isn't actually a single muscle; it is a large group of muscles and tendons that are located in the hip region. Sometimes people will interchange Hip Flexor with Iliopsoas, which is the main muscle involved in vertical hip flexion, but in reality this group is composed of so much more. There are muscles from the groin, thigh, back, and abdominals that are all considered part of the Hip Flexors because they aid in flexion in one way or another. The actual muscle group has parts that go down to almost your knee, from the middle of your body to your outside, and almost up to your chest area; in other words, it spans very far.

Q: Is the Hip Flexor only used to lift up the knee?

A: No! While this is the main function, you must remember that the muscles contained in the group aid in any direction of hip flexion. The Hip is essentially the pivot point between the top of your leg and your pelvis that allows you to move your leg a full 360 degrees around. The Hip Flexor is responsible for providing the force required for every part of this whether it is vertical or horizontal movement.

Q: I have a sharp pain in my Psoas region every time I lift up my leg; I think I hurt it while running, can I still keep training?

A: This is most likely a muscle strain and you need to proceed cautiously. Make sure to read about and classify your injury. From there take appropriate steps to help your recovery. If it is a class one strain you may be able to train lightly with minimal risk of further injury. However, in almost all cases it is much better to take whatever time is needed to heal off and heal correctly. If you train through an injury it is going to result in scar tissue accumulation.

Q: I always come back from injuries too soon and get hurt again, why is this and how can I prevent it from happening?

A: It can be frustrating, which is why it is unfortunate that this is one of the most common problems that people have, especially athletes. There are a few factors at play here, first and foremost is that when you take time off to heal an injury, your muscles become weaker. It is VERY easy to overdo it when you return from injury. Instead, make sure you have strengthened your muscles sufficiently by performing a strengthening routine before you return to strenuous training.

Secondly, make sure you do not resume straight to full training capacity. You need to allow your muscles and body time to readjust to the level of stress that is placed upon them or you'll end up overtraining and getting hurt again. Start very slowly and continue to move your training volume up slowly to stay injury free.
