PLEASE, no multi invitations, glitters or self promotion in your comments. My photos are FREE for anyone to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks – NONE OF MY PICTURES ARE HDR.

This sunrise (start of the "Sunrise Trail" was taken near the Nova Scotia and New Brunswick border at 5:50am and it is about a 2 hour drive to get here from my place – so I left the house at 3:50am approx. to start this day of shooting. I was hoping for a better shot but it is what it is.

——————————————————————————————————————————–
Medical Update:

Seen a cardiologist on Thursday because when I had my operation the anesthesiologist said my ECG looked different from before (2000) and he seemed concerned, I thought he did not want to operate. It appears that I MAY have had a heart attack at some time but the cardiologist is not sure, so he is sending me to do a stress test and to get a radiation test done on my heart to see how it is working. He noticed a lump on my back but said not to worry.

Friday I went to see my doctor and he is referring me to a surgeon to have the lump removed ASAP as it seems similar to the cancerous one that was removed from my chest, it was not there 2.5 weeks ago. Also my blood pressure is gone nuts and he is regulating the medication I already take to get it back under control, just what I needed. Have to get my monies worth, oh, ya I don’t pay, I live in Canada, its free. LOL

Still need my thyroid removed and more cancer removed from my chest………….. Now with all this happening you would think I was sick, LOL, but I fell really great and am not sick at all and I am getting great help from the medical system.

All this makes it hard to go far from home and take pictures so I restrict myself to weekends when I know the doctors won’t call and if the weather is nice.

Seasons change. Snakes shed their old skins. Businesses come and go. New Products get old in a blink of an eye. Merchants used to sell in the streets, now they sell on what some call the Internet highway.

However, one thing remains unchanged – for merchants all over the planet – free merchant accounts are not free. Ever. No matter where you look, there is no such thing as a free merchant account. This shouldn’t faze merchants from applying for a free merchant account though. Discover the 5 reasons why you should choose a free merchant account for your merchant account needs.

1. Affordable Set up

Start up businesses are always striving to save money. Most can’t even cough up the money needed to get their own merchant account – they might even get rejected if they try. A free merchant account is the easy solution to processing payments online at prices you can afford – in fact, some providers free merchants from set up fees! That’s one freebie for you!

2. Open to all businesses

Do you have a business in the area of pharmacy, travel, online gaming, or adult entertainment and wish to do business online? Because of the nature of your business – classified as high risk due to the higher risk of fraud – applying for your own merchant account will be next to impossible unless you apply for a free merchant account. A free merchant account sets more relaxed rules for businesses, and some in fact specialize in high risk businesses. Paper work is minimal with free merchant accounts – not free but definitely easy.

3. 24 hours

Ever heard of businesses applying for a merchant account at 9 in the morning and selling before the day has ended? No, that’s not a rumor. It’s true for free merchant account. Due to less paperwork and more lenient rules, approvals are done in less than 24 hours.

4. International market

Selling to the international market has both its pros and cons. However, one cannot discount the fact that it improves cashflow, and with millions of shoppers out there, one can easily ignore the cons. If you’ve ever wanted to sell to Australia? UK? Or any country in the planet no matter how large or a small a dot in the world, a free merchant account affords you the ability to sell securely to a bigger market. Beats building a store in the middle of nowhere.

5. Monthly fees = Zero

Yes. You’re reading it right. To attract more merchants to sign up with them, a lot of free merchant account providers slash their rates and the first that falls are the monthly fees.

There are still a lot of reasons why one should consider a free merchant account. From the reliable service(given that the provider is a legitimate one), the freebies involved and the affordable rates, the facts remain: free merchant account are easy to acquire and easy to set up. Whether you’re making a killing in your business or earning as small as $ 10 a week, cashing in on the ecommerce onslaught is pretty fuss-free when you have a free merchant account.

So what is affiliate marketing anyway?

Affiliate marketing is about selling other peoples products and earning a commission of each sale. You basically send prospect to an offer and if they buy you get a cut of the price. This means you have to send targeted traffic (get people to see the offer, who is actually interested in the offer) to the product that you are promoting.

There is a ton of different ways to do affiliate marketing. I have created this free affiliate marketing guide for you so you can get started today!

The two main ways to do affiliate marketing

First Free Affiliate Marketing Tip – Build a list: The experts say, the “money is in the list”. There are a statistical data that shows that you can expect to earn $ 1 per subscriber. But, this is not the whole truth. There are people with a list of 2000, who don’t make any money or just very little. And there are people with a very small list size that make a ton of cash. So what is the difference?

The difference is relationship and list age. You need a fresh list of people and you need to build trust with the people in it. So how do you do that? Well, you do that by providing value, and it has to be value that your list wants. Now here is the tricky part. How do you know what your list wants and how do you provide value? Hmm though one!

I would suggest you start by providing value and then attract the right kind of people. So we are almost back where we started. Attracting targeted people to an offer, but this time you are giving value away for free. That helps in the attraction department.

So what kind of value should you provide? Well, first you have to choose a niche. A niche is a small area derived from a bigger area of interest. A area of interest could be golf and a niche could be golfing for left-handed golfers. Off course golf is also a niche, but the more specific you get, the more can you be sure you can provide the value your prospects are looking for.

After you have chosen a niche, you need to investigate what people in this niche are looking for. You can search Google, forums, articles, YouTube or the affiliate market place. Another way is using the Google keyword tool, to see what words your prospects are searching for.

And if you are wondering what you can offer your subscribers for free. You can offer them free reports, free audios, free videos. Go to YouTube and there you can find a ton of videos in any market you can think of. Get the embed code and paste the video code in your blog or website and within a second you have a free video for your subscribers. Once you get an idea of the needs and wants in your niche you create information that will provide value by solving the problems your target group are struggling with.

How can you create information? Well, you can write an eBook, create an audio course or make a video using a webcam or screen capture software. Now all you have to do is give this information away in exchange for the prospects email. You can use forums, giveaway events, articles or YouTube to distribute your information.

Second Free Affiliate Marketing tip – Build a blog: Another way of building trust is by blogging. Once again you use your blog to provide value. You can even put an opt-in form on your blog and capture emails in exchange for free information. Your blog posts serve two purposes. First they should drive targeted traffic by being search engine optimized (meaning your post will appear high in the Google when people search for the information you provide. Second your posts should provide real value. And again here you need to find and research a niche in order to attract the right people to your blog.

It is a fact that people buy from people they trust. Use your blog to brand yourself as a person who provide value, someone who really cares. Then there is no need to sell.

Your blog can be use as a review platform for the affiliate products you endorse. Make sure to buy the product yourself first an give an honest review. Also point out what the product is missing and try to provide the missing information.

So, now all you have to do is find a niche, research it, create value and find affiliate products to promote (I recommend ClickBank they have great customer service). This all sounds very easy to do but fact is many people fail in doing all this. If you are looking for a guide to take you by the hand and show you everything using text as well as video I suggest you take a look at the resource box below.

So this was the end of this free affiliate marketing guide, hope you found what you where looking for.

There’s constantly that rare vibe that terrific jazz music transmits. Typically the keyboard merely does the background harmonic material, other times it has the lead role or tune. Everyone who loves jazz, enjoys well played piano improvisations and imitations of distinctive well known melodies.

Excellent jazz music is usually noticed at your local coffee shop or perhaps even by just relaxing at the beach. Try and get as many information about jazz keyboard music on the internet, at a local book store to find out as much information as you can about performing jazz keyboard by ear. Keep listening to expert jazz piano players as they are the best possible inspiration one can get. Also remember to focus on a variety of jazz types like bebop, smooth, time honored, blues, latin, etc.

Each and every bit of exercise is really important for the jazz piano-player. The goal here may be to strengthen the various muscles of the hand to avoid significant injuries and other nasty stuff like carpal tunnel syndrome.

It’s extremely helpful to master one’s information about major and minor scales as well because the progressions of basic chords. By getting a basic familiarity with music concept, you constantly have something to fall back on and latch onto. Performing jazz involves building on your interpretation from the chords and melodies. Above all, visualize your work at the keyboard as if it were telling the public a story.

‘Voicing’ is an important jazz technique used in almost all compositions. Often it is possible to allow your bassist to practice out the root of each and every chord, and then you just practice the chords without a root. When you play ‘rootless’ harmonies, it is possible to still fill up the rest of the harmonies with engaging other music notes making cool effects not within traditional classical music chord. Experiment as many as you can with jazz harmonies, leave out music notes, change them, uncover original inner voices and let your ear figure what sounds best.

Jazz music is sort of an extension of classical chord so it’s a great idea to recognize the essentials of unforgettable harmony first. Jazz piano extends the capabilities of what traditional music artists thought was the end of possible harmonic sequences. Jazz originated in the early twentieth 100 years among the communities who experiment with blues styles and swing.

When you commence having fun with in a band or even writing your own compositions, improvisation and knowing tips on how to improvise is absolutely the piano key to great performances. With jazz, you’ll be able to be so far more creative and convey hidden emotions and thoughts not available in traditional piano interpretation. Jazz keyboard provides you with the freedom to explore musical reflection and rhythm, which means you get the opportunity to indulge.

It’s imperative to help keep a potent sensation of rhythm when practicing jazz. Everyone should develop a natural feel for the rhythms seen in jazz, especially those learning keyboard ‘by ear’. Once you’re swinging away and jazz beat is natural suitable for you, you can move on to learning the melodies and bass lines.

There are a few ways of receiving car insurance quotes. The traditional way involves visiting different insurance companies and asking for rates from them. The problem with this process is that it is extremely tiresome and time consuming. It is not very easy to schedule a meeting with the insurance agents to discuss the policy. Making telephone calls is certainly a better alternative because it is less tiring. However, the time involved is almost similar. It takes months to receive a few quotes by following any one of these two methods. Online research has made the job much easier to shop for car insurance. There are a large number websites that offer free car insurance quotes to customers within a few hours.

The biggest advantage of these websites is that they can generate lots of competitive free car insurance quotes within very little time.

Using these websites saves time, effort, and money. Most of the drivers rely now on these websites because of the benefits that it has. They can have access to offers from different companies simply by entering their zip codes in the websites. It is also possible to visit the individual websites of the companies to have a better understanding of the company. It is also easy to compare the different free car insurance quotes because many of these websites provide an analysis between the different quotes taking the key features into account.  

Another great benefit of these websites is that the rates available online may not be available anywhere else. The customers do not need to rely on one or two companies because they have plenty of offers to choose from.

This is the reason why many companies reserve their top offers only for the online customers. The free car insurance quotes are also liked by customers because it gives them enough time to fill up their personal information on the websites. During face to face discussions, many customers tend to say things which go against them while receiving the quotes from the companies.

The customers must consider a few key points while comparing the free car insurance quotes. They must not blindly accept the quotes that offer them the cheapest rate. It is important to make sure that the policy includes all the required coverage areas. It is also important to check the financial background of the company before deciding to sign up with them. This will minimize the chances of disappointment in the future.
