Personalized Name Poems
Personalized name poems can be used for all occasions from a simple birthday wish, to a best mans speech, or even a beautiful and thoughtful gesture for a bereavement.
What a wonderful idea, a poem created by a poet on a subject personal to you with all your own content. Putting together the thoughts and emotions you want to convey and presenting them in verse, rhyming and co-ordinated. It makes your ideas come to life, providing you with a well-structured poem centred on issues close to your heart.
Young men or women struggling to get the words out of how they find someone attractive, needn't worry anymore, with a few lines of information the poet is able to conjure up the ideal words to get the message across, in a much more imaginative and original way.
People often find it difficult to convey their thoughts when writing in cards for their immediate family and close friends. But by relaying some of their memories of their times together, this can be transposed into a delightful little keepsake of which will linger in the memory far beyond a conventional gift.
The rhyming side of the poem introduces a jovial aspect to the finished piece of prose, it forces sometimes-unusual words to work together, the poet thinks 'out of the box' and this lateral thinking brings with it a unique and original concept.
People often keep Birthday Cards or Christmas Cards for a long time, this does seem futile at times because in the card may be 2 lines of text, of which the majority is saying the usual "Happy Christmas/Birthday" etc. There is obviously a mass produced poem from the manufacturer in there. But who really reads it and actually appreciates the sentiment?
A personalized name poem is actually a 'story' with a start, beginning and end, which reflects the relationship between the sender and receiver. A much more meaningful and informal way of emotional correspondence. It has the ability to link, beautifully; events, feelings and people.
The development of mass communication means that a personalized poem can also be sent by email. So there are no time delays like waiting for the post, no matter what distances are involved. A fantastic way to deliver a meaningful gift, if time is of the essence.
The personalized name poem can be printed on cards or good quality paper to be presented as a gift, or just simply recited at an event, over the phone or one to one.
The theme of the poem can be set as well. The poem doesn't have to be jovial; it can be used as a serious piece, to affirm a persons feelings or as an apology. There are also sad times in life where a personalized name poem would be a fitting gesture, like a reading at a funeral. Its properties can be used to relate to a story of the deceased or to convey the thoughts of the mourner.
Personalized name poems are as versatile as a blank sheet of paper. It is the opportunity to create something special that will be remembered forever in the minds of the receiver. There are literally no limitations.
Is there a gift more meaningful?

Guitar Lessons - Guitar Vibrato
Playing a guitar without vibrato is like eating Mexican food without salsa. Vibrato is one of the most definitive techniques in defining your musical style, your own personal unique sound. No two players have the same vibrato sound. Some play slow and wide while others play narrow and fast, and that’s the beauty behind spending a lot of time learning different vibrato techniques. It’s like eating different salsa’s every time you go to your favorite taco stand. Enough talk about food, lets talk technique.
Vibrato is sometimes confused with tremolo. Basically it is just a technique of vibrating the string sharp and flat around a root note. For example if you are playing the 7th fret on the 3rd string with your 3rd finger on your fret hand you can just push the note up slightly and them pull it down slightly. Do this in quick succession so the over riding effect is a “wobbly” tone around the root note you are playing. Use your hand, wrist, and arm to make the movements. Never just wiggle a finger. Some people use a technique of pulling the string down towards the floor and then releasing back up.
Try this in a variety of speeds and levels of bending during your vibrato. The trick is to be consistent and smooth with your motion. If you are playing a slow blues riff then you may want to slow down and make a wide circular motion with the string, or if you are playing a fast rock lick you may just ad a fast narrow vibrato to accent the final note in a run.
It is possible to add vibrato using any finger you play with, but it is most commonly done with the first and third finger on the fret hand. Using your first finger is a bit trickier. I usually use my first finger for fast vibratos similar to BB Kings style. I will literally lift my other finger far off the fret board, press down and just “vibrate” the string as fast and as open as possible. That’s funny the work vibrato is a lot like vibrate, because that’s actually what you are doing vibrating the string.
When you combine vibrato with string bending, harmonics and legato techniques you begin to discover the musician inside of you. Playing guitar is about discovering your inner flow of creativity and having the techniques to be able to express them. Vibrato is one of the more personal and effective techniques. As with all aspect of playing guitar you need to experiment with these techniques, and most of all have fun!

Who Wrote the Best Love Poem?
Who Wrote the Best Love Poem?
Love poems have long been a way for men and women to express their feelings for one another in a unique and romantic way. They range from structured, formal works such as those by William Shakespeare to free verse works by modern greats such as e.e. cummings. But of all the love poems ever written, who wrote the best love poem ever?
Of course this question may have a different answer depending on who you ask. But for the sake of argument, let’s say that the poet who created the poem that is most often quoted and most recognizable is the one who wrote the best love poem of all time. If these are the criteria, then the poem How Do I Love Thee? by the poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning would win hands down.
Browning wrote this poem to her husband. She and Robert Browning, also a poet, wrote countless love letters to one another over the period of several years. Today, these love letters and the poems that accompany them are treasured parts of American literature. Here is Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s finest and most recognizable work:
How Do I Love Thee?
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
When people think of love poems, they usually think of this one, especially of the first line. It has inspired many other poems in its time and is a great source of imitation. As the best love poem ever written, it has all the elements of a great work: elegant structure, classic rhyme scheme, and beautiful imagery.

Got a Speeding TIcket? Need Some Advice? If you are pulled over for speeding and issued a citation legally, you do not need a lawyer unless you are also cited for reckless driving. Speeding tickets are fairly straight forward, but for the most part, you have the right to pay the ticket through mail or else dispute the charge against you. After studying law, I learned that anyone who pleads guilty on speeding tickets subjects himself to unnecessary punishment from the law, since most speeding tickets can be dismissed.
Courts do not like to waste time and taxpayer dollars on petty crimes. To dispute a speeding ticket, you must within 10 days in most instances write a letter of dispute with the ticket number included in the letter, as well as your reasons for disputing the charges. In the written dispute, you must include ticket numbers, the date the ticket was received, the “act and section of the defense,” and your personal information. Thus, it depends on the state, but for the most part, states have a writing address where the dispute can be mailed. Check with your local county clerk to learn where to mail the dispute form.
After you have completed the dispute form, you will then wait to hear from the proper authorities, which will mail you a letter stating the date that your hearing will start. Make sure you attend the hearing and try to be at the courtroom at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the court hearing.
When the judge asks you how you plea, make sure you plead not guilty. At this point the judge will decide if your case is worthy of continuance and may possibly throw out the case; otherwise, you may be summoned to appear at another hearing at which your case will be decided.
