Camera 450D - A Full Fledged Slr

I have gained the Camera 450D with 2 kit lenses (18-55mm and 55-250mm), and thus actually a good basic equipment.

First off the camera:

It is beyond the scope, exhaustively list all, for a total of the Camera 450D is already a real miracle. Therefore I will confine myself to points which have struck me particularly.

First there is the image sensor. This is APS-C format, which is slightly smaller than Small. This essentially has the following effects:

A smaller sensor does not take on as much light as a larger, making it at the same resolution is theoretically somewhat greater noise than a full frame sensor. However, an APS-C sensor is still a size of 22.2 x14, 8mm (for comparison, Small or full-frame sensor: 36x24mm). So that is smaller (even smaller than the sensors in Nikon cameras), but if you are honest, especially in comparison to conventional image sensors, compact cameras and even those of Olympus SLRs are still quite large. The advantage of smaller size compared to full frame is first time clearly the price. Here one need only look at an example of Canon's EOS 5D or 1D models.

The reason why I'm flogging so long on the sensor is that the final choice was for me. The Four Thirds sensor of Olympus (17,3 x13, 0mm) According to my research, provides for a visible but more noise. Since I can not provide a Full frame camera (and I doubt if it is really necessary for my purposes), I feel the sensors of Canon and Nikon outstanding as the best compromise between affordability and real image quality.

And so we were already in the conclusion to the image sensor: As indicated, APS-C is a quite large size and thus in a position to really capture excellent images. Moreover, technological progress does not stop even before image sensors, so that the light sensitivity of today's APS-C (sensors so old, the Camera 450D is not even) but significantly higher than the much older models.

That the sensor is slightly smaller, in addition to the somewhat more compact design of the camera is another significant effect: the focal length of the mounted lens is extended by a factor of 1.6. Full be extended from the second to the 250mm kit lens also 400mm. This one can stand as you want, I like Tele (or I) would hardly ordered this kit, so I find fine.

Enough to the image sensor. Furthermore, it was important to me, really can manually adjust everything before I press the shutter button. The fun of photography, I found a 30 years old Praktica. The play was completely without batteries. So, no autofocus, no aperture and shutter speed automatics. Not even a built-in light meter, or a flash. One might call it cumbersome to waive certain automatic modes, but exactly the same way makes my photography fun. And that's why I needed after the sudden death of a new Praktica SLR. To make it short: With the Camera 450D I can first time just shooting. And it is fun again (no comparison to compact). 'Next time' because there are some differences:

- A white balance was not possible with the Praktica. The automatic is on the EOS natural light usually very reliable, the manual is easy to quarrel and help whenever it's automatic or assaults do not fit the presets () for example, in artificial light.
- The built-in light meter makes photography even more convenient than the separate of the time. One can indeed much closer to target (through the eyepiece and not free) hand
- You can see images immediately rather than days / weeks later and I can just try again, if the picture has become nothing.

To become great with digital cameras all may sound trite, but I would just take pictures as large as with the purely mechanical Praktica on film, knows certain advantages to the digicam, but certainly appreciated. That is what comes with the Camera 450D. To me, it was a dream at last.

In all the great gadgets like LiveView on the LCD, picture styles, and other automatic programs I do not want to dwell. Anyone who chooses a camera for such items should seriously ask themselves whether he really wants to spend all that money for a SLR, or if it does not still a good compact at half price. Also in this area has been done in recent years, amazing.

Much more important is a camera indeed what comes out at the end: the image quality. Since I almost anything manual setting, it was inevitable that the very first recordings under the committee is sometimes. At least my own fault, and then change the corresponding settings. Ultimately, it will always be of great beauty when I got out and then just itself, and not the automatic camera. Thanks to the successful menus and largely very ergonomic layout of the buttons and the wheel settings are quickly made, so that (if a bit familiar with the camera) can make the snapshot. Details such as an incorrect white balance can be with the regular software, the Canon ascribes to correct even retrospectively. The prerequisite is of course that you shot in RAW format. But who buys itself a reflex, to have his pictures on the camera only as a JPEG to have?

When I initially wrote about the image sensor, I mentioned the connection between sensor size and noise performance. Here you can clearly be given all-clear: Up to ISO 400 was on location on the day of rushing anything. From ISO 800, depending on lighting conditions, it is more or less visible. At ISO 1600 is visible especially in artificially strong noise, for prints up to A5, but the images are used to at least. Perhaps even more for larger ones. In natural light, the noise even at ISO 1600 but is still acceptable, although it is somewhat dependent on the colors and the brightness of the faces in the photo.

I also really like the battery: the user base is not easy. If you take the camera into the desert, will assume a more water as the camera of the juice. I think the least- Camera 450D owners will necessarily need a second battery.

Perhaps a few sentences for processing: The case is indeed "only" made of plastic, but it all seems very stable, very firm, grippy, Passig. Plastic should be nothing wrong. No one buys a camera to play with football. If they are the purpose of adequately treated, should keep a camera with plastic as good as a metal casing. Today there are already so good plastics, that the question of metal or plastic is rather an aesthetic. I think the Camera 450D is proof of many of this.

My conclusion to the camera, then, is in this price range will be comparable with other manufacturers may not find hardly anything better.

Since I bought a kit with 2 lenses, I would also like to touch on them.
Since image circle, light intensity, autofocus and image stabilizer lenses are comparable, differ only the focal lengths, I will assess both together.

In my recent experience, they are suitable for outdoor day and long exposures at night equally well. The display quality corresponds almost exactly to what I would have liked for my purposes. Why do I restrict the one on location? With maximum aperture of F3, 5 (standard lens) and F4, 0 (Tele) is the luminous intensity is OK, but just nothing too Thick. In good light it is therefore possible at ISO 200 to 400 also moved well photographed objects.

For very fast movements have to take that higher ISO values, so that one gets when the necessary

Spy Cameras For Home - Factors to Consider Before Buying A Spy Camera For Home

The popularity of hidden spy cameras has skyrocketed in recent years. Business owners have realized that they can monitor employee productivity and reduce theft of merchandise and office products. Spy cameras for home use have also increased in popularity as parents realize they can keep an eye on their kids while they are out or use them as nanny cams to ensure that their kids are being treated well by the babysitter. Suspicious spouses even use hidden cameras to find out if their fears of a cheating spouse are justified or not. If you are in the market for a hidden spy camera, I have provided a quick guide below on different types of cameras and how the work.

You have two options when it comes to types of hidden cameras - wired and wireless. Wireless hidden cameras can run on batteries or be plugged into an outlet for power. The wireless name comes from the fact that it does not require a direct connection to a recording device. They either transit the signal from a transmitter in the camera to the recorder or some even have a built in DVR recorder.The latest spy cameras for home record directly to an SD memory card. An SD memory is the same memory used in digital cameras and camcorders.The size of the memory card determines the amount of recording time available. This type of hidden camera is the easiest to set up and operate and would be my recommendation.

A wired spy camera is more complicated due to the fact that it does require a direct connection to the recording device. Unless the camera and recorder are in close proximity to each other this can require a run of cable that will have to be concealed in some manner, whether it be run through walls, under carpet, etc... If these wires are not properly concealed you kind of defeat the purpose of having a "hidden camera".

Manufacturers of hidden cameras have been able to disguise mini wireless spy cameras to look like normal, everyday items that blend in with any decor. They can be disguised as alarm clocks,wall clocks,tissue boxes,books, teddy bears,air fresheners, smoke detectors, and the list goes on and on. This allows you to choose the appropriate spy camera for home based on where you will be placing it, the field of view you desire, and what will look best for your desired placement.

Other factors you may want to consider are the lighting of the area to be recorded. If the light is low or insufficient for good quality video you definitely want to consider a camera with low light recording capabilities. Another great feature to consider would be a motion activated spy camera. If there is a specific area you need to observe but you only need the recording done when there is activity there then a motion activated spy camera is the way to go. This feature will also allow you to maximize your recording capabilities instead of wasting recording space with inactivity.

If your concern is protecting your home or business from intruders then consider surveillance system. This will allow you to place cameras at many different locations and properly cover doors, windows, and other points of concern. Many of these systems are expandable so you can add cameras as needed. The video is normally recorded to a VCR or DVR. I always suggest a DVR as the quality is generally better,there are no tapes to degrade, and you have larger storage space for data.

Spy cameras for home are great for protecting your children, your property and your business. Use the guide above to determine the security system or mini wireless spy camera that's right for you and your needs.

The Lessons That Must be Learnt From Whitehaven's Digital Switchover

Whitehaven in Cumbria, North West England today (17 October 2007) became the first town in England to have its analogue television signal switched off.

At 0200 British Summer Time the BBC2 analogue signal was switched off. The other analogue channels will be switched off on 14 November.

Whitehaven is being closely watched. The process being followed here is the model for the digital switchover to be followed by the rest of the UK between 2008 and 2012.

The selection of Whitehaven as the first English town was announced in June 2006. Since then there has been an intense programme of public information including letters to every household, public briefings, posters, radio and TV commercials and information drop in points.

Despite this massive public information and media campaign, Digital UK, the organisation responsible for managing the digital switch over, can only say that they think "that probably 90% of homes in Whitehaven are ready for the change". With 25,000 householders in the area that still leaves 2,500 that will be unable to access any television channels. It seems breathtaking that Digital UK can only say that "probably 90%" will be ready particularly when Ofcom report that almost 85% of all households in the UK can already receive digital television. Television is now a part of the fabric of our society. Such a major, centrally imposed change demands very tight scrutiny and control.

Judging by reports in the Sunday Times and the Mail on Sunday, most Whitehaven residents welcome the change. They look forward to the greater flexibility and programming options that digital provides. Most question the cost - "If the government are going to make billions selling off the airwaves why can't they do more to help pay for the transition?"

Good Question.

We think these concerns will only increase as many people have still to upgrade secondary televisons and video or DVD recorders.

A particular shock for many homes will be the loss of many portable televisions. Most portables are used in kitchens and bedrooms and get their signal through the attached aerial. Digital requires a much stronger signal. Indoor aerials do not receive sufficient signal for use with set top boxes so all portables potentially need connected to roof mounted antennae. The alternative is to buy, not only the obligatory set-top box for every tv and recorder, but also a powered signal boosting aerial with built in siganl amplifier.

Nevertheless, for the majority of households in Whitehaven the digital switch over seems to be going smoothly. Residents welcome the greater range of viewing choice and interactive options that digital television brings. For the 10% or so still to upgrade there is still time. The local electrical retailers and aerial erectors will be rubbing their hands with glee.

Sony Cyber-Shot Dsc-H20 – Excellent Mega Zoom Camera

A general point-and-shot camera is designed primarily for simple operation and best for capturing still photographs. Even a newbie can use these cameras easily. There are various mega zoom cameras available in the market. Now, Sony has launched its new latest model – Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 in this line stream.

The appreciated features of the Sony cyber-shot dsc-h20 are as following:

1. 720p HD quality video capture

2. 10x optical zoom that also works while recording videos

3. Mechanical and Digital Image stabilization

4. Physical lens cover

5. First-rate design

6. Good feature-to-price ratio

However, Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 has some drawbacks such as:

1. No inbuilt mechanical lens shield

2. Narrow lens

3. Poor photo quality above ISO 400

Design Aspects:

The design of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 is quite similar to the DSC-W290. Due to wide and long lens, the Cyber-shot DSC-H20 is heavy. Comparing this with other models, Panasonic ZS1 and ZS3 are not heavy even with wide lens. The digital camera cannot fit inside a pants pocket, but you can fit it easily in small handbag.

About Controls:

Mode dial is located on the top of Sony cyber-shot dsc-h20. You easily use your thumb to adjust the dial. Memory Stick socket, Smile Shutter button, power button and shutter release button with zoom ring are also located on the top. Sony has included only one Menu button in the H20 unlike two Home and Menu buttons in its previous models.

Quality:

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 provides good photo quality below ISO 400. At ISO 400, the noise reduction decreases the sharpness and fine details. You can only use photographs at ISO 400 for print outs below 8×10. The images at ISO 800 have blurry details and only fit for smaller printouts. We will not recommend you to use ISO 1600 or 3200 even the DSC-H20 has the option for the same.

Shooting Speed:

The time from power-on to first-shot for Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 is 2.8 seconds. The shot-to-shot time is 2.1 seconds. The shutter lag is 0.4 second in bright light and 0.7 second in dim light. The continuous shooting speed is 1.7 fps.

Coloring Books and Your Kid?s Loot Bags

We all some issues on occasion making an attempt to come up with present concepts for those loot bags, but don?t worry because coloring books make a great filler item. You can virtually guarantee the youngsters will use the coloring books that they get in their loot bag, particularly if they are primary school aged. It?s awfully straightforward to believe that with today?s gizmos and technology children just aren?t curious about the straightforward ideas, but they'll always be drawn back to the classic activities.

You can regularly find coloring books that are themed after your party concept for an inexpensive cost. You can mostly find groups of them in packs of 2 dozen or so. That?s just enough for your guests loot bags with some leftover for your own children to color in. Though the children at the party might feel sort of like they?ve been gypped, so it?s probably better to put the full sized coloring books in the loot bags.

Along with the coloring books you?ll need to add a package of crayons. There are a selection of crayon packs to select from, jumbo crayons, metallic, neon, minis, and the basic 4 pack of red, blue, orange and green. You may also include gel pens, chalks and markers for the children to be used in their coloring books.

There are also bulk jumbo packages of crayons that have like four hundred crayons per box. They regularly come in just 8 colours, but you can pick up one of these cases and have them sitting out for the party together with some loose coloring pages to help in keeping the youngsters occupied in the event.

Digital Photography - Digital Cameras and Its Benefits

Although photography has been in the market for quite some time, some people still ask "how much it's going to cost me?", "what a digital camera can do?" and "why do I need photography?"

Let's look at each of them in detail:

As digital photography is getting more popular, things are going to get cheaper. One of the reasons is that manufacturers are competing for market share and they are more likely to launch cheaper cameras with more functions. Just look at the compact digital camera in the market now, you can get a camera with at least 9 megapixels and 10x optical zoom at the price of less than $300. Even the DSLR cameras nowadays are getting more and more affordable.

Also when competitions are getting stronger, manufacturers will try to make cameras with as many features as possible. It is like an unwritten rule that compact digital cameras nowadays must be able to record video and audio. When you launch a point and shoot camera without this feature, your potential clients might not even want to look at it.

Also some digital cameras nowadays are equipped with sophisticated editing software and touch screen capability. You can now add stars, fog it up or add other whacky stuffs on the camera.

Since you can operate your camera with touch screen, you can expect that one day, you will see the LCD screen big enough to occupy the back of your camera. Can you imagine how much fun it is to look at your pictures in such a big screen and it will be more breath taking when the manufacturers throw in wide angle lens together.

Now, when you are going into digital photography, it is only logic that you have a digital camera. Photography is more than a hobby. It is about keeping the memory of that special moment. You want to remind yourself that you were once there at that period. You want to be able to show your child that you were young once and how life was back then. It is a different experience when you look back at your photos 10 years ago. Go have a look at them now.

Personal Ads - an Online Guide

Writing Personal Ads

The headline - Your online personal is like an advertisement. And in this advertisement, you are the product. If your personal ad doesn't sell a reader, he or she will breeze by it looking for a better model.

The key to creating a successful personal ad is your headline. It has to get a person's attention, it has to do it in few words, and it has to do amidst a lot of other headlines. This is a lot to ask of a description that's usually less than ten words. How do you do it? The key is to appeal to the other person's interest.

Fact is, the person reading your headline doesn't know you and can care less about you. They want to know what's in it for them. So your personal ad's headline -- in very few words -- has to show this person what's in it for them. This is what gets the reader to decide to open your personal ad or to pass it by.

The trick is to play to the wants that are important to your target reader. In general, women seek honesty, security, sense of humor, confidence, someone who will make them feel sexy and special, physical attraction, and someone who will listen (when dealing with women, men can be pretty bad at this, so pick it up guys). So if you're looking to appeal to a woman, headlines might be:

Get the love and attention you deserve

A man who will actually listen to you!

Secure man (or woman) with a sense of humor

Appealing to men works the same way: your personal ad's headline should appeal to what a male prospect wants to find. Surveys on attraction typically show that "physical appearance" is more important to men than women. But men seek other things as well. About one in two men polled are looking for a serious relationship. This means you have a 50-50 chance whether you mention serious relationship or casual relationship.

In essence, when you design your personal ad's headline, think of what the target prospect will want and promote it. And try to avoid some of the highly-common horrible personal ad headlines, which go like:

A friend made me do this

Tired of being miserable

Life sucks, look forward to hearing from ya

Don't promote negativity, it's not too appealing. That statement is common sense, of course, but there are negative headlines like these all over the personals. And the "friend made me do it" approach is lousy also. If we're serious about meeting someone, would we want to waste our time and energy on a person who doesn't seem serious about it?

If you have to use negativity, try to at least throw in some humor. I saw a personal ad headline which did this fabulously. It read: If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off. This has to make you laugh. And it has to make you think that this person has a creative sense of humor. Nonetheless, I still succeed far more frequently when my personal ad uses a headline that focuses on what the reader stands to gain.

When the headline is a bit less important - There will be some dating services that display search results with your headline and a small version of your picture. In this case, the headline's value is a bit less important because your picture will also play a role in whether or not someone finds you appealing.

Your actual personal ad - Your headline got them in the door, your personal ad now has to generate a response. How do you do this? Once again, it comes back to telling the reader what's in it for them. What are your favorable qualities? What does the reader stand to gain by getting to know you ... by meeting you ... by dating you?

If the reader doesn't see the benefit of knowing you, why would they waste time writing you or contacting you?

Let them know what they stand to gain. Don't be shy. Don't under-value yourself. We all have majestic and wonderful qualities. Let people know about yours. Tell them what they stand to gain by having an awesome person like you in their life.

I usually make a list of my best qualities. Then, I prioritize them in order of what I think the reader will likely find most valuable. Then, I put them in the ad: "I am a great listener and I look forward to conversing with you and hearing your thoughts ... I am adventurous and open-minded, and seeking someone whose thoughts and actions will broaden my views ... and so on."

I just told the reader that I will listen, that communication is important to me, and that I welcome and look forward to their feedback. I also did so while stating what I'm looking for.

In too many ads, the person is totally caught up in what they want: "I want someone who is between 5'11" and 6' tall, 187.2 pounds, and makes AT LEAST $900,000 a year." Most people read ads like that and think, Who cares? Of course, that example is overboard, but a good percentage of ads are like that. Avoid that route. Tell people what you're looking for. But also let them know what they stand to gain. I write my ads this way and I have had immense success.

More Basics on writing Your Personal Ads

Show don't tell. For example, it is much more effective to use humor in your ad rather than just saying "I have a sense of humor". Show that you are an educated and intelligent person through interesting word choice, clear ad structure, and colorful and creative descriptions.

Creativity counts. A personal ad can take many forms. A poem, perhaps. One amazing ad consisted entirely of titles -- one right after another -- of popular motion pictures, carefully chosen and arranged to describe the ad placer.

Show them what YOU would want to know. Make a list of the most important things that you would like to know about a person before responding to an ad. Chances are, others would like to know the same about you. If you work, in what field? Have you ever been married before? Do you have children? Are you looking to make some new friends, or do you want find one special person to settle down with for a lifetime? Keep in mind that common goals are often more important in a relationship than individual interests.

Age isn't everything, but... It is where a lot of people start. Be sure to include your age in the ad; if you do not want to give your exact age, narrow the range: "early twenties" or "mid forties" for example. If you are fifty but feel thirty, say so? If you are looking for someone outside your age range, give a range for the person you seek as well. Keep in mind that some people will be suspicious of a range that seems too wide -- such as "twenty to sixty", and this may limit responses. Likewise, a range too narrow (one to two years) also seems odd. Even those who fall in the narrow range might be hesitant to respond. Stating your age, and avoiding ranges altogether, is generally the best approach.

Describe yourself first. Be careful to avoid creating an ad that is simply a mile-long list of characteristics you seek in another, without saying much about yourself. It is better to let the person reading the ad decide if they might be a match. This does not mean that you should say nothing about what you seek, just don't overdo it. You do not want to be too picky.

Details, details. How many times have you read a personal ad that states: "I enjoy movies, music, and going out."? This sentence describes millions of people! The idea is to make yourself stand out from the rest! Instead, name a recent movie that you enjoyed. List some of your favorite music styles, song titles, or artists. If you enjoy going out to Italian restaurants, or line-dancing at a country bar on Saturday nights, say so! Ironically, it is the very details that are often overlooked as being insignificant or boring which in fact add the color and depth necessary for a personal ad to be truly effective.

Honesty is the best policy. Above all, be honest when describing yourself. No matter who you are, or what kind of person you are seeking, you have a better chance of finding that person -- and with less disappointment along the way -- if you are honest from the beginning.

Your Personal Ad is your Selling Point

Here are four classified ads. Which one would you call?

1. Car. Selling. 555-5555

2. The automobile of your dreams is in my driveway! Come and drive this hot machine. It's got really neat features and the colour's pretty cool too. Why am I selling such an amazing car? Because I like you! So come and get this hot rod and drive yourself crazy! Vroom! Vroom! 555-5555

3. Hve cer for sale. Runs good. Nise guy owns. Gotta go cuz I got skool to pay. 555-5555

4. 1999 VW Beetle, silver. New transmission and battery. Very reliable, clean, and attractive. All papers with present owner. Great miles to the gallon, fully loaded, stereo upgrade capabilities. Still under factory warranty. Call 555-5555. Best offer.

These are all ads for the same car.

Assuming you'd like a silver VW Beetle (and if you don't, substitute a car you would like), chances are that you'd prefer ad # 4. It's honest, descriptive, confident, not pushy, not flashy, and not unga-bunga caveman stupid. This is how you successfully sell any item, including yourself. See where I'm going with this?

If you're trying to sell yourself, say more than your name, country of origin, and age. Tell prospective mates about your personality, what you like, and what you won't accept. The thing is to create interest in you! Make yourself sound attractive and intriguing.

Here's another way to put it: The personal ad is a resume. When applying for a job you hand in your resume. The person sifting through all the applications will pick out the ones that sound best and are best presented. The successful resume lists the person's greatest attributes first: we're all in a hurry; the interviewer wants to see what you've got as quickly as possible. The ones that meet requirements are called in for an interview. From there the best person is picked for the job. If it is discovered at any time during or after the hiring process that the person lied on their resume, the applicant is immediately disqualified.

With a personal ad you are applying for the job of Mate. You have to put together a personal resume that shows off your qualities in the best possible manner. This should be needless to say, but unfortunately it isn't: first of all, say something! Don't just spit out a couple of meaningless words. Write quite a bit about yourself and what you're looking for. List your best attributes first. Do not lie about your situation, looks, or personality; you will be found out immediately, waste your time and theirs, create bad feelings and a bad reference. Remember: there are no wrong qualifications; you're just trying to find a good fit. As far as interests go, list mature activities that can be done with others (i.e., no video games!). You're trying to find a mate; don't act like a loner.

And for heaven's sake: learn spelling and grammar! People, the amount of personal ads out there that have shoddy, pathetic, and senseless writing is unbelievable. Who would want to be with someone too stupid to even write a decent sentence and too careless to realize that this is the hook with which they're trying to catch their big fish? No one's expecting you to be Shakespeare, but writing that wouldn't even make it in a children's book is unacceptable. There are plenty of smart people out there that can read and write. Chances are that you know some. When your happiness is at stake, there's no room for ego: get them to help you with your ad. If you don't know what to write, never mind how, ask your friends. Ask those who care about you to tell you about you. This will open your eyes to qualities you may have forgotten, and perhaps a few you should get rid of.

Differences between how Men & Women view Personal Ads

When writing your ad, you should keep in mind that men and women respond differently to personal ads. Men respond to personal ads more than women. Therefore, an ad from a woman receives more responses than an ad from a man

According to our own statistical analysis as well as a study done at Northwestern University, we have found a few trends that bear paying attention to when writing your ad.

Men

First, men are much less selective when responding to ads than women. If a male browses 10 ads he wants to respond to, and probably sends a message for all 10, hoping for a good percentage of email backs. Men play the odds. They feel that the more ads they respond to increases their chances of getting a response back.

Also, men tend to be more inclusive. If an ad says that a woman is looking for a gentleman in his thirties, a man who is 42 but considers himself to look and feel like a thirty year old will respond.

Therefore, women can and should be more specific when writing their ads. It pays to be as descriptive as possible. The more specific you are about who you are and the person you'd like to meet, the better quality the responses you'll get.

Women

Women, on the other hand, are much more selective and exclusive. If a female browses 10 ads, she is more likely to send a message for 5 or 6 of them.

If a woman reads an ad that says the man is looking for a "cute, petite, shapely, young looking, thin, etc., type lady," he is likely to not get many responses -- if any.

A woman might reject a guy just because he says he prefers blondes, thinking what he is really saying is that if you're not blonde, forget it. Men should be a little less specific when describing their preferences. One wrong word and you may be out of the running. Remember though, to always be honest!

Understanding how women perceive themselves and knowing what "red flag" words not to say will go a long way in getting a better response from women. Don't focus on physical attributes. Avoid these bad words: slim, shapely, etc.

Mr. "Wrong"

The Basics of Ad Writing

Capture Attention.

Use a Catchy headline---a catchy headline will make your ad stand out. Be bold, creative, whimsical, passionate or humorous to catch their eye. "Ravishing Redhead" or a "Radiant Blonde" has more impact than "Attractive Female."

Describe Yourself.

Who are you? First, start with some of the basic descriptions such as what you look like, marital status (single, divorced or widowed), sex, age and -- if important -- ethnic or religious background. Include aspects you feel are important. Keep it short. Don't waste your time telling your life story. No one reads an endless ad. You'll have time to elaborate in your email exchanges. Stick to the basics and leave a little something to the imagination... but not too much.

Describe who you want to meet.

Make sure to list the ideal age range, education, etc... of your potential mate. Also, describe what you like to do. What are your hobbies and interests? What are your political, religious, social or moral values? If any of these are important to you, mention them in your ad.

Describe what you like to do.

Be specific. Don't be generic or vague. Avoid cliches like "fun-loving" or "long walks on the beach." Who doesn't like long walks on the beach? What kind of museums or music do you like? What type of sports, radio stations, restaurants, food, plays, movies, directors, TV shows, nightclubs or other activities do you like? And, if you really do like long walks, what beach do you like to walk? Also, if you're adamant about certain issues like smoking, pets, or children you should mention it.

Describe some of the things you'd like to do together.

What are some of the activities you would like to share with a potential mate.? Are you athletic? Do you run? Play tennis? Racquetball? Do you like to listen to live music or go to the opera? Remember, it's easier to envision be with someone if you can envision the things you'll do with them.

Show your personality and sense of humor.

Be creative. Develop a selling point. If you have a good sense of humor, don't just say so, prove it! Most of all, make sure the ad reflects your personality.

Be honest!

There's a common misconception that all those ads in the personals aren't true, or worse, that they're all made up. Not true! The people who have the most success through the personals are people who are sincere about who they are and what their intentions are from the start. If you are sincere about meeting someone, it won't do you any good to mislead people by falsely representing yourself. Create an ad that will encourage the right people to respond - people who you want to meet.

Capture attention.

Last, but not least, capture the attention of your reader. Try to make the first phrase of your ad the most interesting and memorable. In doing so, you'll make your ad easier to find when the reader is deciding to which ad he/she will respond.

Photo

A picture speaks a thousand words. Let's face it, appearances are important. If people can find out that they are or aren't attracted to you sooner rather than later, it is a plus. We've made it easy for you to attach the photo in your ad, simply follow the upload photo link in the members site.

Ok, let's recap:

Capture attention.

Describe yourself.

Describe who you want to meet.

What do you like to do?

What would you like to do together?

Show your personality and sense of humor.

Be honest!

Sample Letter that Don Diebel uses to respond to Personal Ads

Here's a letter I used to respond to personal ads to successfully meet and attract women like crazy:

Hi!

This letter is in response to your recent "personal" ad. Your ad really captured my attention and you sound like someone I would like to really like to get to know better. In order for you to get to know me better, here's a little bit about myself:

I am a single financially secure businessman, 1947 model, low mileage, high performance. Bumped a few times, but never wrecked. Proven ability to hug the road and not wander off course. Exterior in mint condition, warm, affectionate, sensitive interior, never soiled. Factory equipped package includes stereo, humor, depth, imagination and intelligence. Radio picks up all kinds of rock and classical. Spacious seats with plenty of room for passenger...runs on high-octane fun and romance, lifetime supply included.

Available for inspection by female drivers only, prefer affectionate woman, no dependents, eye-catching exterior, self-confident, intelligent, warm, sincere with sense of humor and full set of tools.

I come from a close solid family, would like to have little Toyotas some day. Equipped with nice endowment. Only driven once a week by little old lady to/from church. To arrange test drive, please write or call me at 802-484-2425 (anytime). HAPPY MOTORING!

P.S. Feel free to modify this letter to use for yourself. Try it...it works like crazy!

Writing your Personal Ad today?

Many things that we do in life require some effort, creativity, and imagination. Composing a personal ad is no exception. Your ad should reflect who you are, honestly, and the type of person you are seeking as a partner.

You may find it difficult to compose the right ad, one that really reflects both you and the type of person you seek. Don't be afraid to enlist the help of a close friend.

There are right and wrong ways to compose a personal ad. Let's look at a few of the wrong ways. Concentrating solely on your appearance or the looks of your ideal partner is one of the personal ad mistakes.

For example: 5'7", 110 lb. cute, blue-eyed blonde, seeks Tom Cruise look-alike for love and romance. Reply Box 1666

6'4", 180 lb. body builder seeks Pamela Anderson look-alike to bench press on the beach. Reply Box 2245

Talking about your hobbies or interests, without exposing the person that you are, is another personal ad error. For example: Good-looking male engineer, 5'9", enjoys music, biking, country drives, seeks single white female, 20's for friendship and possible long-term relationship. Box 3065

Attractive, petite, youthful, professional female, enjoys the outdoors, nature, walks, water, classical and country music, sports, dining out, dancing, and theater, balanced with quiet times. Seeks single male. Box 2243

Focusing totally on financial or material issues does not give the reader an honest reflection of who you are. For example: Exquisite blonde princess. University educated, intellectual, 34, 5'6", slim, fun loving. Former model with Mercedes tastes and Jaguar sensuality, looking for that special, generous, sophisticated, and refined gentleman with whom to explore life's pleasures. Box 7787

Harvard MBA grad, tall, dark, and handsome, late 30's, divorced, 2 children, owner of global Computer firm with homes in San Diego, Boca Raton and Switzerland, seeks wealthy, jet setting Princess, early 30's, preferably European, from an affluent family with no children. Box 2596

The major mistake that these three types of ads have in common is that they all focus on the outside rather than on the inside of themselves and of the partner they seek. It's like that first date where we show our socially correct persona, and are afraid to expose the layers of the individual we are. Many ads seem to take this same direction.

When writing your own personal ad, take the time to write one that expresses who you are, as an individual, your unique qualities and gifts, and what you want from a potential partner. It does not have to be a novel: keep it simple, short, honest, and sincere. Also, don't rush: No one says you have to write an ad in 5 minutes. It may take you a week with a hundred revisions before you are happy with the end product. However, this effort is worthwhile. Once you have placed an ad based on your inside qualities rather than your outside appearance, you will receive many more serious and sincere responses from potentially compatible people.

Personal ads are not for everyone, but you will never know whether or not they are for you unless you try.

Why should Men run a Personal Ad instead of answering One

by Don Diebel

Have you ever thought about using the personals to meet and attract single women? I, Don Diebel used the personals for many years successfully to meet hot & sexy beautiful women from all over the United States.

For those of you that are confused as to whether you should just run a personal ad or just answer the ads of the women you are attracted to, let me give you some valuable advice:

It's best to run your own ad instead of replying to women's ads and here's why:

1. It really builds up your confidence and makes you feel special when single women are seeking you out. It's a great feeling checking your email or postal mail and discover all these women wanting to get to know you.

2. There are a lot of single women out there that read the personals of men. And these same women would never think of running their own ad due to feeling embarrassed, but they think nothing of reading your ad and responding to your ad if they are interested.

3. Women tend to get tons of responses to their ad by men. All these men are vying for her attention. There's just too much competition. It's better to run your own ad.

4. It's such an easy way to meet single women. They are seeking you out. It's nice to have women make the first move for a change. Us guys get tired of having to do all the work to meet women.

5. When you place a photo in your ad and a woman responds, this indicates that she finds you attractive physically. This is a good ego-booster to know someone finds you to be desirable physically.

Why single women don't list their weight in their personal ads

by Don Diebel

I need to make you aware of something when you are playing the personals to meet single women for love, romance, and a potential relationship. 9 times out of 10 if a single woman doesn't list her weight in her personal ad, she is very likely to be overweight or even grossly obese. Plus, you need to be aware that when they do list their weight it may be a lie to try and hide the fact that they are overweight.

Of course, if you don't mind dating overweight single women then it's not a problem if they don't list their weight or lie about their weight. And I commend you for the ability to accept a woman as a person and not judge her according to her looks and weight.

But, if you're picky and desire a slender woman, I would advise you to ignore any personal ads where they don't list their weight.

Let me make a few comments about men who won't date single women that are overweight. I really don't think it's fair being prejudice towards overweight women. Unless they have a medical problem they can lose that weight and become the woman you desire. Also, overweight single women are hungry for attention and love because they sometimes get passed over in favor of more slender women.

Also, there's another issue which I don't think is fair. There are guys that are overweight with big potbellies that only want to date slender and pretty women and are turned off by overweight women like themselves. Well, I think they should take a good look in the mirror and picture how their gross-looking body can turn off single women.

It works both ways. There are a lot of single women who are turned off by overweight potbellied men. If you are overweight, I highly recommend that you get on a healthy diet and exercise regimen to trim down. It will help you to attract and seduce more single women. Besides, it will give you a lot more energy and it's good for your mental and physical health.

In closing, I highly recommend that you don't overlook single women that are only 10-30 pounds overweight. This is not that much to lose to get to their ideal weight and when they do lose the weight they will really look hot & sexy and they will be very proud of their body. Plus, women are overly sensitive about their weight and may feel grossly overweight even though they only need to lose 10-30 pounds. This can work in your favor when you show a lot of interest in them. This makes them feel needed and wanted and they will admire the fact that you can accept them as they are even if they are a little bit overweight.

The Art of Profile Writing

by Kathryn B. Lord, L.C.S.W.

In CyberSpace, you are what you write. A well-written profile is the Internet equivalent of Drop-Dead Gorgeous. This is an opportunity not to be missed!

During face to face or phone communication, other clues and cues are present. You can hear the other's voice tone and cadence, see their body language, smell a person's individual scent, notice how they dress and present themselves to the world. All those factors and many more flood our senses and help flesh out our mental picture of the other.

Only old fashioned *snail mail* letters come close to the restricted palette of email. And even with *snail mail,* you would have more clues. The author's handwriting, with their choice of stationery and the writing implement (pencil or perhaps old fashioned fountain pen, black or maybe peacock blue ink), would add to the richness of your image.

With Cyberspace, it's just letters on a screen. In the most literal way possible, you are only as good as your word.

How you present yourself is who you are.

If you are getting yourself ready to go to meet your future life's partner, you will likely be taking meticulous care with your presentation. You may be thinking and planning for weeks. Perhaps you are treating yourself to a makeover, spending money and paying attention to how you look, in a way you have not done in years. Maybe you buy several outfits and try them on over and over, trying to get a sense of what presents you the most favorably. Maybe you buy a gift or flowers to show your pleasure to your new love.

You are fastidious, down to the last detail.

This is exactly the attitude that you need to take in writing your profile.

You want the best of you to show. You want to be sure that your buttons are buttoned and your hair is just so. You want to look *fine.* After all, finally seeing that special someone and those first few minutes of direct contact may be the most important few minutes of the rest of your life.

With your Internet matchmaking profile, you have just a few minutes, maybe only a few seconds, to make your impression.

And every second has to count.

The Best Preparation

Educate yourself - get online and start looking at what others are writing. Some sites allow you to look around, even to do searches for potential matches using gender, age and geographical location.

A place to start might be Match.com, reviewed in the April issue of *eMAIL to eMATE.* Try some other sites, too, like Matchmaker.com reviewed below in this issue, and note the differences. Do sites seem to attract a certain kind or class people or a certain age group? Do you feel more comfortable on some sites than on others? Try to identify what makes a difference for you.

Search the profiles, both in the age and gender range in which you are interested, and also, your own age range and gender. Read lots of profiles, and copy and print off the ones that strike your fancy, intrigue you, or the ones that you find offensive or don't like. Make files of the writings you admire and the profiles you think are poorly written. Collect lots of both. And continue to do so. These word snapshots will be your textbook.

As you read over the profiles that you have printed out, try to form a mental image of the writer, based on his or her words. Ask yourself questions that seem important:

* Is this an honest person?

* Does he/she seem kind

* Does the writer appear angry or depressed?

* Is he/she someone I would want to spend an evening with?

* And then, Why or why not?

Jot down notes about your impressions on your printouts. And ask yourself:

What about the writing led me to think what I did?

You Are In Training

You are in a process of training yourself to read and observe closely. Perhaps never in your life has your ability to sense a person through their writing been more important.

People tell you who they are. On the Internet, they are REALLY telling you, because their words are the only way they have to do it. If you read carefully, what they say, how they say it, and also what they don't say, you can learn a tremendous amount.

The other side of that coin, that people are telling you all about themselves all the time, is that you have to be open to the information, willing to hear what they are saying.

Computer communication (only words across your screen and no other sensory clues) enhances certain reactions in the reader. Fantasy - your own mind's tendency to fill in the gaps - happens all too easily, with so little other evidence to prohibit it. If you have a tendency to believe the printed word (if it is written down, it must be so), you are at risk with an email romance.

Learn to read on two levels. Enjoy and believe what your correspondent writes on one level. But on another, more stepped back place, be aware that what he/she presents may not be so. Train yourself to doubt. Remember, no matter how well the two of you seem to click, this person is still a stranger.

Do Your Homework

1. Many of the dating sites offer good tips on profile writing. Dateable.com has a good one. Check out the free advice.

2. As you are doing your research, start thinking about your own profile. You might start a draft. Use your own word processor to write, so that you can think about what you are presenting and polish the final product. You can cut and paste the final version into the space provided in the dating site you chose.

3. Do NOT write your profile off the top of your head, right into the profile space allotted. It's too easy to make spelling and grammar mistakes that show forever. Too easy to post a sloppy and poorly written presentation.

4. Above all, take this process seriously. You are looking for your life mate.

5. And don't forget to have fun!

Personal Ad Writing for Gay Men

1 Take some time and think about what you really want, because knowing that sure narrows the field.

2 Describe yourself first. A quick mention of your physical characteristics if you have facial hair, are very tall, very short, very thin or very heavy, otherwise it doesn't matter. It is not important to give the length, girth or potency of your penis (or other body part) in a personal ad. If you find someone you like, all those things are left to share between you.

3 Tell about your interests - golf, hockey, movies, books (you can't stay in bed all the time!)

4 Write about why you're placing an ad and what you hope to get from it.

5 Tell what sort of physical characteristics make you feel sexy.

6 Show us, don't tell us that you have a sense of humor, show it in your ad.

7 If you're uncomfortable describing yourself, upload a photo that shows you at your best. If you're a happy person, upload a happy photo!

8 Be creative! Write a poem, talk about your dog or anything that would make someone want to know more about you.

9 Think about why someone would benefit from knowing you and loving you, then tell about that. You know what you want to know about other people, so tell those things about yourself.

10 Don't be negative. NEVER say "I'm getting over a relationship where I was dumped and I need a friend to feel better."

11 Age is only a number and is no reflection on a person's sexiness or personality. However, if age is important to you, write that you're looking for a person in a certain age range. Please don't ask for any man between 18-99. You won't get replies, as you're screaming that you'll take anything.

12 A laundry list of what you're looking for in another person to satisfy your needs is going to get no response. Remember, relationships are partnerships, even if you're looking for casual sex. If it's not good for both, you're going to be wanking alone.

13 It IS important to let others know if there is a particular type of person you're looking for. If you want someone who shares a fetish of yours, by all means list it and anything else that you have determined you won't live without.

14 I can't say it enough times, if you can't spell, then use a spell checker. Write your ad in a word processing program and check it and then cut and paste it into your ad. If you don't know how to cut and paste, write to us and we'll tell you how. You have one chance at a first impression and if every 3rd word is misspelled, you won't come across as bright or intelligent, even if you are.

15 Be honest, it's easier and you don't have to remember anything.

How to Buy Dictaphones or Digital Voice Recorders

Dictaphones or Digital Voice Recorders (DVRs) are ideal for recording voice memos, interviews, conferences, meetings and phone conversations. The term Dictaphone is a brand name that refers to the version that uses cassette tapes to record, as opposed to the newer Digital Voice Recorders (DVR) that the save the audio to memory.

Digital Voice Recorder (DVR)

•    Use your USB port to save typing time by directly transferring audio files from your DVR to your computer

•    With the DVR there is no need to rewind; when you finish recording you simply press the play button to playback immediately

•    Each audio file you record to your DVR is automatically saved under a number with a time-and-date stamp

•    The DVR usually has between 2 to 5 folders to separate audio for better organization

•    Some DVR's allow you to move messages between folders and split or delete messages

•    You won't cause a distraction during meetings or conferences changing tapes and you won't miss anything important whilst doing so

•    Some DVR's come with software that automatically converts the voice file to text for easy transcription

•    Newer DVR's have expandable memory and come with external memory cards. Look out for this as it gives you more flexibility with recording time and makes it easier to download audio to your computer

•    The DVR is normally powered by 1 or 2 AAA alkaline or rechargeable batteries

Cassette Tape/Dictaphone

•    Choose between Mini, Micro or Standard; Mini cassettes (15min per side) hold half of the content of Standard and Micro (30mins per side)

•    Cassette Tape Dictaphones can be played on any player that takes the respective size

•    With digital you only have a limited amount of space to store recordings (if you have no external memory card) - whereas with a cassette tape Dictaphone you can simply exchange tapes if you run out of room

•    Battery life is longer in a Dictaphone than a Digital Voice Recorder

•    A Dictaphone is a cheaper alternative

•    There is no digital storage on a Dictaphone cassette tape

•    Reuse the cassettes - you can buy a machine that automatically erases micro and mini cassettes

•    Many come with equipment specifically for recording phone conversations

Desktop or Portable Voice Recorder?

Desktop DVR's or Dictaphones are generally cheaper and are ideal for recording phone conversations or are used in conjunction with transcription software. There are numerous models of portable Dictaphones varying in size and ability, but are all ideal if you are on the road or need a Dictaphone or DVR for times of inspiration.

Push Button or Thumb Slide Recorders?

Push Button Cassette Recorders usually have the ability to insert dictation but it can be very difficult to find the point you want. With the Thumb slide switch it is much easier to review and control with rewind review capability, rewind, insert, play and stop.

Which Mode?

There are three levels of recording quality and differing recording times. The longer the recording time the lower the quality.

High Quality (HQ) - 43 mins approx.
Short Play (SP) - 65 mins approx.
Long Play (LP) - 121 mins approx.

Advertisers usually display the longest recording time, so keep in mind that the Dictaphone or DVR will record at less than half of that on high quality. This is particularly important for DVR's, as the higher quality mode uses much more memory and you don't want to be halfway through a meeting or interview and find you are out of memory.

There are usually two levels of sensitivity available on a Dictaphone or DVR. LOW is the best for dictation, as the microphone tends to be uni-directional in this mode and will focus on your voice. HIGH sensitivity picks up sound in all directions along with unwanted background noise.

Dictaphones and Digital Voice Recorders: Other Features to Consider

•    Voice Activate System (VAS) - Dictaphones or DVR's with VAS will automatically record when they hear your voice (or other sound) without having to push any buttons. Great for when your hands are tied up.

•    Alarm - to remind you when to record or a timer that you can set to automatically record between two times

•    Tie clip microphone - for hands free recording

•    Earphones - for play back when you do not want to disturb others

•    Rechargeable batteries and a battery level indicator

•    Microphones can either be built in or detachable. If you want your Dictaphone or DVR for a higher quality of recording such as music, then look for one with a microphone jack

•    Speakers - most are built in but some models have detachable speakers that can be used for presentations.

•    Digital storage - some come with more than others

•    Hands free or foot control - keep your hands free for typing or playing an instrument

•    Automatic backspace - automatically reverse the desired number of seconds for input or playback

Transcribers and Docking Stations

All digital transcription systems require you to use a foot pedal connected to your computer. This enables you to transcribe files from your Dictaphone or DVR from audio to text by listening and typing a few seconds at a time.
Docking stations make it very easy to download the files you have recorded to your computer. Some docking stations also recharge the batteries on your recorder, which is ideal if your Dictaphone is in high use.
