iPhone 4 Accessories - Which Ones Are Right for You?

An iPhone 4 is an awesome device, capable of replacing a lot of other gadgets that we normally use. Of course, there are still some areas it could use some help with, which is why there are a variety of iPhone accessories available in the market. These iPhone accessories vary in use. Some function just to please users aesthetically, while others target case based problems users might have to deal with on their iPhone 4.

Here are a few bestsellers of iPhone 4 Accessories:

Privacy Screen

- This is a nifty add-on if you do not want people around you having a glance at what you are doing on your iPhone 4, unless you want them to. Besides helping you secure privacy, this add-on also acts as a screen guard. It protects your screen from dust and scratches keeping it looking clean and new. Lastly, it also eliminates glare, making it easier for you to view your screen in any lighting condition.

Full Body Protector

- Unlike most protective screens that only cover the LCD, this guard also has the back of your iPhone covered. It protects the whole body from dust and scratches while also eliminating glare. This provides a perfect fit on your phone and is durable enough to withstand everyday use. The clear cover is easy to remove and does not leave any residue on your iPhone's surface.

Docking Station

- There are a variety of docking stations available with varying options available depending on what you need. There are small ones that can be brought anywhere with ease, while there are slightly bigger ones that offer more than just a connection to your computer (i.e. retractable cords, short cords, auxiliary jacks, mini speakers, etc).

Portable Speakers

- This accessory comes in handy when you do not feel like putting on earphones or if you want the whole room to hear what you are playing. It is also great for travelling. These come in a variety of sizes and shapes.

Portable Chargers

- It is highly understandable why this is in the list of bestsellers for iPhone accessories. Mostly everyone is on the go these days, and cannot afford to have their iPhone die on them while they are on the road or somewhere with no computers to use. Additionally, in case there is a power outage, this would still enable the use of your phone. There are a few types to choose from like car chargers/adapters, USB wall socket adapters, or the USB Emergency charger. The USB Emergency charger makes use of two AA batteries to charge your phone, just for that exact moment when you really have nowhere to plug your iPhone to.

iPhone 4 Cases

- Apart from serving as your iPhone's protection from scratches, dents and fingerprints, these are widely popular because of the options it provides people to match their everyday life aesthetically. These come in different colors and designs, and can even be custom-made in some places.

While there are a lot of options available for iPhone 4 accessories, it would always be good to take into account what actually applies to your lifestyle. Before you choose or purchase an accessory, make sure it is something that you would actually benefit from, not just frills to show off on your phone. That way, you make the best of your iPhone and your money.

How I Got My Book in a Celebrity Magazine's Hot Sheet!

About 6 months before my book was published, I had this dream of getting listed as "Hot Book of the Week" in a major celebrity magazine. So, I made a phone call to the editor and told her about my book. She seemed pleasant enough, as I mentioned that several A list celebrities were mentioned in the book, as well as the fact that 15% of the proceeds would be going to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation®. Over the months, I'd let her know, via email, the progress of the book. I'd get pleasant little responses, here and there. I knew that getting in this magazine was a big deal, and rather a long shot, as most of the featured books are those by celebrities themselves, or #1 bestsellers that are put out by major publishers. My book was simply self-published via POD, and I knew that this was going to take a miracle. But I kept affirming that this was my goal - to get listed as HOT BOOK of the Week!

As my plan was to launch around Mother's Day, I persistently contacted the editor, with news of pub date, my marketing plans, etc - basically chit chatty little emails - always, always mentioning how much I loved her column and how I had actually bought a certain item she had mentioned in the previous week's issue.

Finally, the date was getting close. I decided that some guerrilla tactics were going to be needed if I was going to have any results. So, I printed out a cartoon image of a dreaming girl, with a cartoon bubble coming out of her head. I then, pasted in a collage-like manner, HOT Sheet in the bubble, with an image of my book where the HOT BOOK of the Week was going, with some copy, as if it really was in the magazine. The caption below the montage was "Just Dreamin'!" I filled a box with 4 of my music CD's along with the collage, and sent it off.

On May 10th, I got an email from the editor, telling me that although she could not fit me into the actual magazine, she was able to fit my book into the Online version of the magazine - and that it would be listed as HOT BOOK of the MONTH - for a full month! This was one of the most exciting days of my life, and I think I jumped up and down doing the happy dance for about an hour! Now, I always include "As Seen in ... " in my signature block, and I have a nice screen shot print out of my book: Hot Book of the Week - just like I had dreamed.

The results? Since the celebrity mag mention, I was recommended by Dr. Laura, was a guest on Martha Stewart Whole Living Radio, hit #1 in "Wedding Showers" on Amazon.com, the Learning Annex asked me to submit a video workshop on how I became an Amazon bestseller, and I was asked to join a panel of writers at the writer's convention in New York City this spring. I've been a guest on over 65 radio shows and listed in several print magazines and have been featured in several online sites. I've been a repeat guest on the a nationally syndicated TV show as a mother-in-law expert, and am on the brink of a corporate sponsorship. As well, I auditioned for and got the position of co-host for an exciting new online radio show.

So, stepping out on a limb and being creative can often lead to great things. Never underestimate the power of visualization, determination, and a little creativity.

The Importance Of Cell Phones In Modern Society

Cell phones have become a necessity for many people throughout the world. The ability to keep in touch with family, business associates, and access to email are only a few of the reasons for the increasing importance of cell phones. Today's technically advanced cell phones are capable of not only receiving and placing phone calls, but storing data, taking pictures, and can even be used as walkie talkies, to name just a few of the available options.

When cell phones were first introduced to the public, they were bulky, expensive, and some even required a base unit that had to be transported along with the phone. Good reception was a major problem and in general, early cell phones could only be used in certain locations were the signal was particularly strong. As cell phone technology advanced, the difficult in using them became less of a problem. Today, cell phone reception has improved greatly due to the use of satellites and wireless services. As cell phones improved and became simple to use, the importance of cell phones increased accordingly.

Cell phones are the perfect way to stay connected with others and provide the user with a sense of security. In the event of emergency, having a cell phone can allow help to reach you quickly and could possibly save lives. However, the importance of cell phones goes way beyond personal safety. Modern cell phones are capable of internet access, sending and receiving photos and files, and some cell phones are equipped with GPS technology, allowing for use in most locations around the world and allowing the cell phone to be found or the user located in the event of loss or emergency.

Cell phone reception has become reliable and of high quality due to advances in wireless technology. Wireless service providers offer excellent packages and promotions for cell phone users. Finding a dependable service provider is no longer an issue for cell phone users. The expansion of the wireless service provider industry gives cell phone users a choice and the increased competition has caused a drop in prices of wireless cell phone service. The importance of cell phones goes way beyond the ability to make or receive phone calls. Cell phone users can instantly send data to the home or office, check for important email, use their cell phone as a PDA or calendar, and store photos which can be easily transferred to a PC or laptop computer.

Cell phone manufacturers have produced a wide range of cell phones, which sell for prices that range from very inexpensive to over one thousand dollars. The available options give users the choice of purchasing a basic cell phone to use simply for making calls, or choosing a complex, technologically advanced cell phone that can perform as many or even more tasks that a home computer. Over the past decade, the increasing importance of cell phones has made them almost a necessity for most people. Even remote and underdeveloped countries have some access to cell phone technology and wireless services.

The importance of cell phones has increased the competition in the wireless service provider industry, making cell phones very affordable and very easy to use. Cell phones have become almost a status symbol in addition to the convenience and security that comes from owning them.

How to Write a Bestseller in 40 Days Or Less

Are you an aspiring author? Do you ever dream of writing a best selling book and getting all the notoriety and riches that come with it? Wait no more. "How to Write a Bestseller in 40 Days or Less!" by Barbara DeBolt is a complete step by step guide to writing a bestseller in 40 days or less.

Bestsellers as Formula Books

The premise behind the books is that best sellers are nothing more than formula books. A formula book is a book that fits a certain pattern - A happens before B which happens before C but at the same time as D and so on. In fact, if you read a large number of best selling novels in a particular genre - say adventure novels like Clive Cussler and the like, you will notice that they all follow a certain rhythm. You would expect the rhythm of a certain author to be fairly consistent but if you read 10 best selling authors in that genre, you will find that the rhythm/ the pattern of the books by all of them are almost identical.

The Book

"How to Write a Bestseller in 40 Days or Less!" walks you through a particular formula used in best sellers for a variety of sizes of books - from 40,000 words up to 625,000 words. It breaks down the books into the specific flows that need to be followed and what percentage of the book should be related to each of these flows. It is an appropriate guide, a recipe if you will, for writing a fictional best seller.

It states that each book should roughly have the following sections (all of which must be presented at exactly the right point in the book and for the appropriate number of pages to give maximum impact.)

• Introduction of characters and the mood of the book
  


• The main issue/theme of the book - what is going on
  


• A strong development of the main character and the theme
  


• Turning point - an event happens to the main character that wraps that character into the theme
  


• The hero begins to mold himself or herself to the events at hand
  


• The hero becomes completely committed to solving the issue
  


• All heck breaks loose - chaos
  


• The hero gets a grip on all these loose ends and begins to pull them together
  


• The wind down - loose ends are all tied together and the conclusion is reached - with perhaps hints of left over bits that can be wrapped into a sequel.

Obviously, there is a lot more to writing a best seller than just following this formula but chances are your fiction work won't become a best seller if it doesn't follow this formula pretty closely.

How to Proceed

If you are serious about writing a best seller or even just a darn good novel, I'd recommend getting this book and reading it. It is a quick read. Including all the formulas, it is only a bit over 100 pages. After you read it, pick up a best seller and find the formula that most closely matches the length of the book and start reading the book. Make notations on a piece of paper when you identify the elements that are discussed in the book and see how closely they parallel the formula.

Once you have done this exercise, you have begun to internalize the flow of a best seller.

Now do it a few more times with a few more best sellers to really get a strong grip on the formula.

Once you are very comfortable with the formula, you need to start writing. This may sound silly but the best way to get into the flow of best seller writing style is to actually take a few best sellers and write them out by hand. By doing this rather painful but quite effective exercise, you will internalize the style(s) used within the pages - the action words used, the scene transitions from chapter to chapter, the character interactions, the balance of conversation vs description, etc.

These are skills that need to be mastered to bring the formula to life. By taking this "shortcut", you will have a much higher chance of success than just sitting down and starting to write. In fact, with this formula, you can do the above exercise at the same time you are writing. Since you know how the sections of the book need to break down, you can just work with a portion of several existing best sellers and then work on your own version of that portion of the book and sort of go back and forth until that section is polished. And then, move on to the next section.

Not a quick process

In spite of the premise of the title - writing a best selling book in 40 days - expect it to take longer unless you are already a gifted writer. Writing, like anything else, is a skill that must be mastered, There is a careful balance that must be achieved in the book to bring it and the characters to life and that only comes with practice.

Do I recommend the book?

If you are truly interested in giving it your best shot, the book is a shortcut. All the information presented in the book is already in the best sellers themselves but it takes time and energy to build the roadmap yourself. I give the book a B rating because I don't believe it stands completely by itself. In other words, I don't think many people could pick it up and learn how to write a best seller - but I do think it can certainly help.

However, I personally believe you will better integrate the process by taking the longer route of building the roadmap yourself. If I were going to do it, I would choose three best sellers by three different authors in the genre I was interested in and I would handwrite each of the three books and make notations about flow, character style, etc. as I went along for each book. I also would have a long term goal of having a first book written in 12 to 24 months and tackle it as a part time effort so the process and the creative effort stays enjoyable.

How to Sell Your Book in Book Stores

Statistically, book sales in book stores are down. As more and more people shop on the Internet, book store sales will continue to drop. There will always be people, though, who love visiting their favorite book store and browsing the shelves for a new find. These are the people you want to sell your book to!

Unless your book is being sold by a major publisher, there is a slim chance you will get your book onto the shelves of a major chain. Some major chains also ask for your marketing plan to sell your book. A marketing plan will detail how you will promote your book, stated as actions, financial commitment, and time commitment. For big chains like Borders to sell your book, you need a sales history of previous books.

Your best option as a new writer is to ask local, independent book sellers to sell your book. List down independent bookstores around your area, and pop them a visit instead of just calling. Even then, don't have high expectation that bookstores will automatically want to promote your book purely because it has been published. The initial contact is important, dress nice to impress, and always be humble as a self promoter.

Offer to sell ten or twenty copies of your book to a few local book stores, then check back in a week or two to see how many of them have been sold. Remember to set a lowest amount you are willing to take for your books, being said and done- the bookshops are there to run a profitable business. At the end of the day, if the store was able to sell your book, they might want to buy more copies. If not, you can always try another store.

Another tip is that bookstores will also respond to customer requests, if you have Print on demand on your side, and perhaps if you could rally a group of your personal readers to order your book from a bookstore, the store is more likely to take notice of your title when you give them that visit.

Once your book has a bit of sales history and you are able to develop a marketing plan, then the time has come for the next step - to approach the larger chains!

Men's Beach Wear

The men's bathing suit, there are styles for different occasions, options for every type of body, and there are trends just like in every season. It is summer, the days are longer, and the hot days are intense, everyone is looking for any moment to visit the beach and refresh a little in the water, but you should always do this in style, wearing what best fits you and what is on everyone's mouth for this summer trends.

The classic bathing suit is the lifeguard bikini, now it is worn in the hips and it is wider at the sides for a more comfortable fit, not too tight and no too revealing. Looks are more important nowadays for men and it is important to choose where to tan, if you tan with a Bermuda, there will be a line at the knee's level that will never be attractive. Even though there are some people that will never change their longer board suit for anything, the new length for bathing suit shorts is mid-thigh; this will allow your tan line to be a little less obvious. The good thing about the classic board shorts is that they can be left worn as a regular short during the day.

This summer, it is allowed to wear fabrics that scream extravagant, like metallic and fabulous prints like tribal safari style and flower prints. Not only prints in the bathing suits but also a printed t-shirt with a solid bathing suit pant might be your look. Military influence will also be very in but camouflage is not fashionable this season, better go for pockets and army colors for a more complete proposal.

Brown will be the new black for this season; it will be our starring role this summer since it is better for unique combinations like turquoise, yellow and red. Pastels will not be around anymore since our color palette will be mainly of primary and secondary colors with their most brilliant expressions. All this color in one single piece will be the highlight of the season.

Polo shirts are also one of the best partners for your short and your stylish hat; this is a nice look for your first day in a weekend getaway. After that, change into something more comfortable like a T-shirt, after all, you will be going in the water.

You can define your style for the beach or a weekend getaway according to what you like and the style you wish to adopt with colors, graphics and forms. Never forget your accessories, a nice fedora hat and cool leather beach sandals can make you seem like you went off the runway to the beach. Don't forget your sunglasses since it may be sunny out there and your attitude can never be forgotten. If you are not ready for an extreme change, classic is always in style but never be afraid of trying something different, you never know what the tide might bring your way.
