Surf’s Up!

I need to find a surfing video?

Dec-31-2009 By admin

I need to download a clip of people surfing. It doesnt need sound, but its fine if it does. It only needs to be like 30 seconds. I can’t find one any where. Ive searched all over the web, and in limewire. Please help.
I dont want a video to view on the web. I need to be able to actually download it. I want to put it into my own video

http://www.podsurf.tv

It downloads them as ITunes but you can also watch the clips with Quicktime.


when looking for boards you really dont have to consider your hight too much but mostly your weight. I would go with a 140 cm or a 142 cm. a 140 is going to be a little more agressive on the water and a 142 is going to be slightly bigger a little slower than the 140 but is probably better if you are just beginning.
hope this helps

where can i buy a cheap but cool looking surfboard? i want at least 2 because I’m planning on making a shelf with them, but i need to find surfboards before i can start. (i live in Nebraska)
could my dad maybe make the shape out of plexiglass or something like that?

Craigs list would be your best bet, but you better check out shipping costs.
I’ve seen benches made out of them too! Cool!
Any wind-surfing board or wake boards will work too. Don’t worry about the holes where the bindings were attached.
There are plenty available in Calif. or Florida!

I have very coarse, dry, damaged hair (from chemically relaxing it, but I haven’t relaxed it in about 3 months) and whenever I see everybody with their scrunched hair, it comes out beachy waves looking. I scrunch my hair but it never comes out like the beachy waves. Any suggestions?

hmmm it can depend on the kind of hair u have..
if u hav very very straight hair, it may b harder to scrunch ur hair
this is wat i did, before i got a digital perm..my hair used to be very very straight
nd it was hard to scrunch nd hav the waves stay in the whole day
so, wat i did was i curled my hair with a curling iron at night
nd then i french braided it into two sections
nd then sleep on it
take the braids out in the morning
nd put some gel or mousse in the morning
it’ll come out beautiful
nd it’ll look like u scrunched it
trust me, i learned from experience
:)
hope i helped!!!

I’m looking for a good surfing wipe-out/fall to use but I can’t seem to find any. I would prefer them to be more cartoonish and not real life images put together. Thank you.

King Solomon and the Ants in the Quran:

The story of King Solomon and the ant is mentioned in chapter 27:18-19.

These two verses illustrate that: 1) The hearing power of King Solomon was unique, 2) The ants are rational creatures, 3) The ants have speech and communicate with each other, 4) The ants are very caring creatures, 5) The ants live in dwelling places and they have homes, 6) The ants live in a society, 7) The workers in the ants society are females! And 8) King Solomon had mercy and he always was observing his Lord!

Surah (Chapter) 27:18-19

18] Till, when they came (King Solomon and his unique Hosts) to the valley of the ants, one of the ants said: ‘ o ye ants, go into your dwellings lest Solomon and hosts crush you (under foot) while they do not know. ‘

19] He (King Solomon) smiled, and laughed at its words, and said: ‘ o my lord! Grant me that I should be grateful for your blessing with which you have blessed me and my parents, and that I may work the righteousness that will please you: and admit me, by your grace, to the ranks of your righteous servants.”

When King Solomon and his hosts came to the Valley of the Ants, an ant, who had seen Solomon’s hosts, said, ‘O ants, enter your dwellings, lest Solomon and his hosts crush you while they are unaware!’

The verse indicates that the ants are likened to rational beings in their use of the latter’s speech. Modern sciences support this fact; However, Scientists up to the moment do not discover and analyze the Ants’ speech!

Whereat he, Solomon, smiled at the ant’s words, which he had heard from about three miles away and which was carried to him as sound’s waves by the winds.

The sight is that King Solomon and his hosts were going to a certain place, and then he heard the speech of the ant! The verse then indicates that the hearing power of King Solomon was unique and ultra-sharp. And remember that He heard the speech of the ant while there was a great noise of the movement of his huge and unique hosts.

This great noise of his hosts which consisted of cavalry and infantry does not prevent him from hearing the speech of an ant that was about three miles away.

When he was on the verge of [entering] the Valley of the Ants, he [King Solomon] made his hosts halt until they [the ants] had entered their dwellings. And he said, ‘My Lord, inspire me to be thankful for Your grace wherewith You have favored me and my parents, and to do good that will please You, and include me, by Your mercy, among Your righteous servants’, the prophets and saints.

It is very amazing that the Quran declares that:

1) The ants are rational creatures, 2) the ants have speech and communicate with each other, 3) the ants are very caring creatures, 4) the ants live in dwelling places and they have homes, 5) the ants live in a society, 6) the ants live in a society, 7) the workers in the ants society are females and 8) King Solomon had mercy and he always was observing his Lord!

=========

King Solomon and the Ants in the Bible:

It is King Solomon in the Bible who said in Proverbs 30 that: “The ants are a people not strong”. However, modern sciences say that the Ants are very strong. In comparison to a man (in respect to his size, weight, height etc.), one ant is as powerful as 30 men! There are many verses like that in the Bible that contradict with modern sciences and make the reader suspicious about who wrote the Bible. Indeed, the Lord, the Creator of the ants would not say that the ants are not strong!

Proverbs 30 (King James Version)

24) There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:

25) The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;

26) The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;

27) The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;

28) The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings’ palaces.

=========

It is amazing that the Quran declares this unusual information about King Solomon and the Ants that are not mentioned in the Bible. Meanwhile, the Bible says that:” The ants are a people not strong”. A statement that contradicts with the modern sciences!

Back to the main issue of my series of articles; this is my question to you smart readers: “Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?”

By the way, the disbelieved ignorant Arabs stated that the Quran quoted from the Bible more than 1400 years ago! (Read my article about chapter 25).

A lot of people online are concerned about companies and services respecting their privacy, and with good reason too. There are many ways that people can be tracked online when they enter personal information into forms, submit files to websites, and generally just use the internet. Even google has been accused of overstepping the line of privacy by keeping very detailed records of peoples search habits.

You may have heard a little buzz on the forums of late about a new, covert way of spying on your market and tracking their surfing behaviours.
As with anything new, there’s 2 opposing views

1/ You shouldn’t because it’s an invasion of privacy
2/ It’s a perfectly legitimate part of marketing

Before I tell you which camp I’m in… lets examine what is going on.

First and foremost. There’s nothing underhanded in this technique. Finding out what your market wants is a vital part of marketing.

It’s been so since the first primitive man realized he could sell his clubs to other members in his tribe. How did he know they needed the clubs? By observation. Then it was just a matter of selling them the benefits of his club over other implements being used.

So, if observing others is a crime… then the whole human race is guilty.

Some, though, feel observing what your market does while looking at your sales copy on their computer is an invasion of privacy. Many of these people happily use other forms of tracking software though!

So, where’s this new covert marketing tool different? It tracks what people do within each page. You can see what parts are being read, and which aren’t. You can see where they leave and where they convert, either an order page link, Adsense link or something else within your site.

So the intelligence that’s gathered gives you instant feedback on what works, or doesn’t work on your sales page. Changing copy so it sells better to your market is no longer guesswork. You’ll know exactly what to change so your market has a better, more emotionally rewarding experience.

If you do this… you could improve your sales conversion exponentially. Although you still have to test and be creative. It doesn’t make you a better copywriter alone, just points out to you what parts of your copy need changing, so you can try something new and see if it works.

It probably feels like an invasion of privacy because of the way this software interprets the information gathered. It is so simple to understand.

However, as far as I’m concerned… it’s no more an invasion of privacy than any other form of tracking.

I believe this intelligence gathering tool is something that can be harmlessly used by internet marketers and copywriters that want to write better sales pages. It’s not as though they’re looking at any personal data, just what you’re doing when you’re surfing their website. It’s no more an invasion of privacy than a corner store mounting video cameras to monitor the aisles in their store as you shop.

Plain and simple, it’s just a useful tool.

theyre punk songs and i know the names of several but i can’t seem to download them help?

Try limewire or torrent sites. Or as a last resort go to youtube.com and use the youtubedownloader program to download the video and convert it to mp3, it wont be fantastic quality though.

question about dreams- big wave?

Dec-28-2009 By admin

Last night I dreamt that my mum and i were on surf boards in the local bay (we don’t surf) this big wave came, we knew it was "the big one", it came it was a tremendous wave, but we survived as it tapered off where we were, any enlitenments?

The wave represents an emotion or decision you are faced with one that maybe life changing. Riding the wave out means that you will come though it by being diligent.
