Tumblr Users Beware!!!

Imagine on a beautiful day when you go to your account on Tumblr.com and find out there is nothing there. Everything gone! They delete all of them including your posts and pictures without any explanations or warnings. Yeah, that is what happening to my Tumblr account.

So learning from my experience, if any of you have Tumblr accounts, you should back up everything to another sites like Twitter or Facebook and stop updating on Tumblr. Hope this tip will make your life easier today.

How To Make A Natural Fire

In case of emergency or when you are in the wilderness, you have absolutely nothing in your hands not even a lighter or a box of matches, and you want to make a fire. It is so frustrating and inconvenient if you don’t know how to do that. So, just follow these simple steps and you gonna make a fire for yourself in no time.

Step 1: Find the materials you need. You will need: a branch or piece of wood about 60cm (2 feet) with a natural curve; a string which you will tie to the two ends of the branch to make a bow; a spindle, the thing that spins, which is a straight piece of wood; a fire board, a flat piece of wood, carve a small depression near the end of the fire board and cut a V shape notch from the edge of the board to the center of the hole you carved; and last you will need a palm tool preferably a stone (bone or wood could also do the job) witch you will grab in your hand and with it you will keep the spindle in position.

Step 2: Set up. Put down the fire board and press in with your foot so it is stable. Wrap the string of the bow around the spindle. Put one end of the spindle on the depression you carved to the fire board. Put the palm tool on top of the spindle and keep it there to ensure that the spindle remains in its place. With your other hand hold the bow.

Step 3: Lighting fire. Staying in this stance draw the bow back and forth to force the spindle to spin. Keep controlling it with the palm tool and press it downward to create friction between the spindle and the fire board. After 30 to 50 seconds the fiction will have created a small ember in the notch, carefully put it some tinder and gently blow it squeeze it, it will burst into a flame!

How To Clean A Laptop

When the keys on your laptop are starting to stick and the screen looks dirty, it is the good time to clean up your laptop. In that case, just follow these simple steps and your laptop will looks like new again.

Step 1: Get the right cleaning supplies for your laptop. For the screen you should use a special screen cleaner. For the rest of the laptop, all you should need is a bowl, some soap (if you wish to clean your laptop with the keys removed), a can of compressed air, and some isopropyl alcohol.

Step 2: Turn off the laptop and remove the battery. Don't risk shocking yourself or ruining your machine during the cleaning process.

Step 3: Remove the mouse, any discs or CDs, USB keys and anything else that is connected or protruding from your laptop. They will only get in the way.

Step 4: If you want to clean the laptop with the keys still attached you will need to use the can of compressed air. Do not hold the can upside down; simply tilt it and spray. If you are having trouble spraying you can always tilt your laptop, just try not to damage it in the process. Continue spraying until you have removed as much debris as you can.

Step 5: If you want to clean the laptop without the keys connected, as well as the keys themselves, you will need to use a knife to remove them. Be careful when taking them out so that you do not damage the keys, the connectors, or yourself.
ü  Before prying keys off, make sure you understand how to replace them. Some laptop keys are harder to reassemble than others. If you're not sure, try popping off one key and replacing it before you pop them all off.

Step 6: Fill up a bowl with water and a few drops of regular dish soap. Place the keys from the keyboard inside of the bowl and let them sit for as long as necessary to loosen the gunk. You may need to scrub the keys lightly by hand to finish the job.

Step 7: Fill another bowl with half lukewarm water and the other half isopropyl alcohol. Dip a lint-free cloth in the new cleaning solution. Wring out the cloth to avoid dripping water. Wipe clean the inside of the keyboard, as well as the sides and the other faces of your laptop.

Step 8: Clean out the ports along the sides of the laptop. Use the compressed air again (remember to keep the can upright). Spray all of the connector ports until they are nice and clean.

Step 9: Leave your laptop out so that it can dry thoroughly. Do not shut the lid. If you removed the keys from your keyboard, you can set them out on the counter or table or wipe them with a dry cloth.

Step 10: Pop your keyboard keys back on when you’re sure that your machine and the keys are both fully dry.

Step 11: Use a special screen cleaning solution to clean your screen. Spray some onto a microfiber cloth and gently wipe it over the screen. Shake out the cloth to get rid of dust and grit, then apply more cleaning solution to a clean part of the cloth and go over the screen gently. Do not use a lot of pressure while cleaning the screen.
ü  Do this last, so that your screen is free of any debris you generated when cleaning the rest of the laptop. Do not use normal soap, as it can damage your screen or decrease its performance.

Don’t Buy Resident Evil Code: Veronica

This tip is for someone who has never played Resident Evil series before and wants to give it a try. So, just follow these recommendations and you will save your time and money on this survival horror video game series.

Suggestion 1: If you never played the demo version, don’t buy Resident Evil Code: Veronica. Why? The main reason here is the control settings. It is very difficult to move the character around in most of the time, and the ultimate frustrating and annoying issue is that you can’t move your character while aiming your weapon despite the zombies running onto you from different directions. This could make you frustrated and your game unplayable.


Suggestion 2: If you are new to Resident Evil, you should play Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, Resident Evil, Resident Evil Zero, Resident Evil Revelations, Resident Evil Revelations 2, Resident Evil 4 (difficult but playable), Resident Evil 5 (difficult but playable), and Resident Evil 6. Why? These games have good story-line and easy control settings. You can move your character freely while running and shooting. So, you gonna have very good experience and inspiration at the end of each game.
