Guardians of Evil (L.J. James's Biker Movie Idea)

By LJ James

GUARDIANS OF EVIL (LJ James Biker Movie Idea)

I have been writing for years I have a few Biker book, Movie and even Biker Cartoon ideas. Because I have to be careful about posting them on-line so they do not get stolen I haven't posted any. This is a very small part and just the beginning of a story I have been working on. It takes place in a world where our Government and the Police have become completely Corrupt. All the Motorcycle Clubs had been framed and blamed by the police for all the Crime and problems to cover and shift everyone's attention from what our Government had been up to. When everything had fallen apart and America had fallen into the hands of the corrupt and Criminals where now running everything, There was no one left to turn to. The Bikers the world had been told to fear, Who had been shown as the ones who where evil, Decided it was time to turn the tables and they started the Motorcycle Club GUARDIANS OF EVIL in order to start to bring Justice back to the world. The idea of the character of Kyle is something along the lines of a mix of Dartanian in the three Musketeers and Bruce Wayne from Batman . He will become one of them, But first he must learn, And the Adventure Begins!!!

GUARDIANS OF EVIL:Scene 1 The Sky was dark and cloudy and a slight mist of rain started to fall on Kyle Star Jr's face mixing with the tears that fell freely from his dark brown eyes, How appropriate though Kyle as he looked over the freshly dug hole that his fathers casket had been lowered into just hours before. With no raincoat or umbrella He was soon soaked and his shoulder length brown hair clung to his face. Everyone else had left long ago, his and his fathers, Friends Family and Fans had Hugged him and said things to Kyle to comfort him but they where like ghosts to him an he felt and heard nothing of what they said. Kyle looked around the cemetery and saw there where still 3 News vans there waiting. He knew they would want to talk to him, After all he was the son of the worlds greatest Motorcycle racer an at 6ft 160 lbs he was the spitting image of his late Father. He knew now that his Father was gone all everyone wanted to know was if He would be taking his Fathers place on the Race Track! Let them wait though Kyle, as he could not bear to leave his Fathers graveside yet. He knew that when he left the graveside the life he had once known would be gone forever. His father had been everything to him. His best Friend, his Mentor and his Hero. Kyle had never known his Mother an now at just 18 years old he found himself alone and on his own. The whole World had seen his Father die on the racetrack that day as he raced that one last time. He was far ahead in the lead and no others in the race where even close to him when He suddenly "lost control" of his motorcycle Crashing into the wall at close to 200 Miles an hour. Kyle had ran to help his Father but there was nothing he or anyone could do, A legend was gone Kyle Star Sr had died instantly!

Kyle Heard a voice whisper his name bringing him out of his dream like state. He looked up to see the Reporters face; he had seen her many times before on TV. She was not just any reporter but some well known big shot. She had interviewed Kyle's Father more then once over the many years of his racing career, but at this moment she was just another Ghost to Kyle. What do you want he asked her? Kyle I'm sorry to bother you at this very sad time She said. But the world wants to know what you are going to do next after your father's accident, Will you take his place? Will you race? Kyle's faced turned red his eyes grew wide, he looked different even his voice seemed to change as he looked at her and said. The crash was NO Accident My Father was Murdered and I Know who is responsible! As Kyle looked straight into the Camera he spoke words that he would live to regret, "I will be coming for you!" Turning and looking at the reporter Kyle shouted "How's that for an exclusive" Then he turned and walked away as the sky opened up and the rain started to come down hard!

Scene 2 The Taxi Pulled up in front of the bar and Kyle threw a handful of cash at the driver not even Bothering to count it. It had been six Months since his fathers Funeral and the man who stepped out of the Cab looked very little like the Man who had cried for hours by his Fathers graveside. Kyle now looked mean and rough a short beard on his face and his uncombed hair was covered by a Black dew-rag. The suit he had worn at his fathers funeral was now replaced with a t-shirt, leather vest, Blue jeans and work Boots. Kyle looked at the run down looking bar on the corner called "The Hoggs Penn" A clever play on The old Harley Nic Name, He though to himself. He saw about 20 Bikes parked out front, Most of them where Harley's But he could see a few other Brands mixed in with the pack. This is it he though my fathers Killer is inside and soon one of us will be dead. He could hear the song Welcome to the Jungle By Guns an Roses blasting from the Juke box inside as he walked up to the door, opened it an walked inside. There was a large dirty looking Biker working the door in a cut off T-shirt with some Bike shops name on it. The Guys arms where Huge and covered in Tattoos. You got some ID there boy? He asked Kyle. How's this? Kyle asked as he Placed a one Hundred dollar Bill on the table next to the Man. Looks good to me he said with a Smile as he put the cash in his pocket. Have fun JR he laughed as Kyle looked around the loud Smokey bar. The walls where covered in Biker posters and Hundreds of different stickers from Bike Shops, other Bars and Club Support stickers. The place was packed with many large Bikers; some had patches on their back showing they belonged to one club or another. There where five really great looking girls in very tight skimpy outfits Dancing on the Bar, on a different night in a different time I might have really enjoyed this place he though, as the first smile in a long time crossed his face. The smile only lasted a second as some drunk walked into him growling "watch where I'm walking boy" as he went past walking to the back of the bar heading towards the bathroom.

Kyle started thinking maybe I'm in over my head here as he saw most of these Bikers where much larger then him. One large Biker standing by the corner of the bar really stood out to Kyle, The guy had to be at least 6'ft 10in tall and over 300 lbs all of it muscle, he was wearing a long Black leather trench coat that went to about an inch from the floor, He had long golden blond hair that made him standout even more in the dark bar. Kyle felt as if this man was trying to warn him with his eyes. Kyle suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder and was spun around, he felt the wind get knocked out of him as he was punched in the gut harder then he had though possible. Four large Bikers grabbed him and pulled him towards two large doors in the back of the Bar. One of the Men kicked open the doors that lead to an alley out back. They dragged Kyle threw the doors and then tossed him to the ground. As he looked up he saw a large muscular Bald Black man about 6ft 2inches tall, wearing a black leather vest way to small for him. He had no shirt on underneath showing the world just how many muscles he had, lighting a cigar. He smiled at Kyle and then kicked him hard in his gut knocking the wind out of him once more. Boy you are about to learn a very valuable life lesson, unfortunately you isn't going to live long enough for it to do you no good! Boy you never tell your enemy you are coming for him! An you go an do it on National TV. What was you thinking? Yeah said Kyle while trying to catch his breath. I realized that was probably not a good idea about two seconds after I did it. Kyle got a very serious look on his face as he said; I'm here to kill you Bob! You know that Right? Kyle stood up and pulled out a gun with the speed of an old west gun fighter. Badass Bob huh? How bad you feel right now with a Gun pointed at your head? Actually Boy I feel just fine! A split second later before Kyle could pull the trigger he found himself back on the ground with a large throbbing bump on the back of his head, one of Bob's men had hit him hard with a crowbar. Kyle felt himself slowly passing out and the world going black around him, He could see Bob and his men standing over him smiling, they all had Guns in their hands. This is it Kyle though to himself now I die and my Fathers killer goes free! Just don't seem right, where is the Justice in this world? Just Before the world went completely black and Kyle passed out, He could have sworn he saw a streak of Gold pass overhead and heard the sounds of someone fighting!

Scene 3 As Kyle woke he could feel a throbbing in his head,He could feel a large bump with his hand on the back of his head where he had been hit. He was laying on a couch in a room that was very bright. As he rolled over to look around the room he spoke the words "Where am I". He was Surprised when he got the answer, Your still in the land of the living, So I would not worry about anything else right now! As Kyle looked to see who had spoken the words, he could see it was the large Golden haired man he had thought was warning him at the Bar. As Kyle looked around the room he could see there where other people in the room with them, They all looked like hardcore Bikers and on one of the walls he could see a banner hanging, on it where the words GUARDIANS OF EVIL MC .....

Comcast Provides The Connection Speed Needed For Today's Web

By Rachel Smith

It used to be that a dial up modem capable of 56 Kbps provided enough speed for most people to enjoy the Internet from the comfort of their own home. Thanks to the growing complexity of the Internet and the increasing amount of multimedia entertainment available on the World Wide Web, a mere dial up connection really doesn't satisfy anybody these days. In fact, even some of the faster means of connecting to the World Wide Web can be pretty disappointing. For example, even though DSL qualifies in many people's minds as a high speed Internet connection, it's really a light duty Internet connection at best. It may be fine for things like email, text messaging, and even moving around the occasional digital photo, but DSL will start to cause grief when its users attempt to download larger files like software applications, videos, and music over it.

Satellite Internet is a little bit faster than DSL, but it has a fair number of problems itself. Specifically, it has a time lag created by the distance that the data has to travel to and from the satellites in orbit. This time lag makes satellite based Internet access a bad choice for VoIP applications, online gaming, or anything else where a slight pause could cause problems. The other problem with satellite Internet is that it's really expensive, both in initial equipment fees and monthly subscription fees.

Most people will find that the best type of Internet service for their homes is a broad band cable high speed Internet connection like what's provided by Comcast. This type of Internet connection is faster than any of the others mentioned above. About the only type of Internet access that's faster is a T1 connection, but since that's not available for residential use, it's kind of a moot point. Comcast's high speed Internet technology provides download speeds of up to 8 Mbps. That's about seventy times faster than dial up and several times faster than even satellite based Internet service. Plus, a broad band cable Internet connection is always on, so you don't have to wait for the dial in process to complete.

In addition there's no noticeable time lag, which makes it good for video games and VoIP. (Comcast can also provide digital voice phone service bundled with high speed Internet which makes VoIP less attractive, but at least this technology allows you to have the option of using a VoIP service.)

A broad band cable high speed Internet connection gives you access to plenty of the material on the World Wide Web that's simply too data intensive to be practical with a slower connection. This includes things like video files- even ones big enough to contain full length movies. Of course downloading a full length movie will take a lot of bandwidth, but when huge files like that aren't being downloaded, Comcast's high speed Internet service provides more than enough bandwidth to allow several people to do normal web surfing all at the same time. A wireless router is extremely useful for this because it allows different devices to take advantage of an Internet connection without being physically connected to the cable modem. Comcast will provide a free wireless router in addition to a free wireless modem. This will allow you to connect to the Internet both by wireless technology as well as wired technology.

If you're good enough at networking, you might even be able to set up a home network so that you can share files among all of your computers over the wireless network enabled by this free router.

These are just a few ways a truly high speed Internet connection can improve your life, and Comcast can supply it for you.

Comcast Provides Unsurpassed Flexibility and Convenience

By Dawn Amerson

Over the years, lots of different companies have tried to offer complete entertainment and communications solutions, but only Comcast has put together an excellent series of packages that will keep people connected and entertained in a variety of ways. That's because Comcast bundles digital cable TV, high speed Internet, and state of the art telephone services into an easy to afford and flexible packages.

For example, the phone service from Comcast alone is sure to save you money while providing the optimum level of convenience for you. That's because, the most widely used features that you would pay extra for from other telephone companies are included free of charge. This means that you'll be able to enjoy great features like call forwarding, call waiting, caller id, and voice mail a no additional charge. To sweeten the deal even more, you'll be able to enjoy unlimited free domestic long distance calls as well as be able to access your voice mail messages over the Internet! The first alone will save you money, and the second will be a great convenience when you're traveling, but may need to stay in contact with business associates. You'll even be able to use your existing phones and jacks, and get a free professional installation.

The fact that Comcast also offers high speed Internet service also shouldn't really come as a surprise for most people. That's because cable technology provides a great way to have a high speed, broad band Internet connection that's always on! With speeds of up to eight megabytes per second, you'll enjoy a whole new way of experiencing the Internet. You'll have access to incredibly detailed virtual world like Second Life, the latest software updates to keep your computer happy and healthy, as well as great entertainment in the form of video and digital music. To make the service even better, you'll receive a wireless router that will allow every member of your family to surf the Internet at the same time. You'll also get access to software that will protect your identity, and your computers from those people and programs on the Internet that mean to do you harm.

The service from Comcast that will provide you with the most flexibility though is digital cable TV. That's because, Comcast has a wide variety of programming packages available to meet you're TV needs, no matter how simple or complex. For example, you can choose to go with a basic programming package that provides you with all of your local channels. You can also choose a programming package that provides you with your local channels, plus two hundred other common cable channels. You could also choose to add special movie channels on top of that. Regardless of what you choose though, you'll receive a variety of digital music channels with the programming package, as well as access to Comcast's special ON DEMAND feature.

The ON DEMAND feature from Comcast is truly valuable because of the flexibility that it gives you. ON DEMAND is like Pay Per View in the sense that it provides recent movie and you have to pay in order to access those movies. It's different from Pay Per View in the sense that it allows you to start watching a movie whenever you want and will also allow you to replay scenes or pause the movie. Comcast's ON DEMAND provides all of the flexibility of renting a movie and all of the convenience of Pay Per View.

With great phone service, incredibly fast Internet access, and state of the art cable TV, Comcast is the obvious choice for all of your communication and entertainment needs.

Add Music From iPod To Computer - The Way To Do It

By Davion W

Almost anybody is able to transfer music to iPod with ease, but to add music from iPod to computer is a different matter.

You can simply automatically or manually synchronize your music library from your computer with your iPod to copy the files from PC to iPod, but to transfer back the files the other way around is no easy process.

A possible reason why Apple restricted this particular feature of letting you add music from iPod to computer is to prevent piracy and protect music companies selling their songs to Apple's iTunes. After all, when there is ease in transferring music from iPod to computer, people are likely to take advantage of it.

For those of you with clean and pure intentions --- do not despair. Adding music to your computer from iPod is still possible. You can still make a back up of your files in case your iPod crashes.

Music can be added back from iPod to computer, but to be able to do this you need to do a series of steps so your music folder, which is usually hidden, becomes visible.

Mac users will need to download TinkerTool, a software that will give you access to hidden files, then plug the iPod to the PC and launch iTunes. iTunes will then prompt you to replace your iPod's contents with songs coming from its library, and you must say no to this. Next, enable the Manually Manage Songs and Playlists and also the Disk Use option and launch TinkerTool. Click on the Finder Tab and the Relaunch Finder. Double click the icon of the iPod on your desktop. Hidden in this folder are several other folders, one of which is the music folder. When you see this, drag this out to your desktop so you can copy the files from your iPod.

On the other hand, if you are using Windows, just plug your iPod and launch iTunes. Pick the iPod icon that you see listed on the iTunes source list. Then, check the Manually Manage Songs Playlist option and the Disk Use option. Look for the iPod icon in My Computer. Proceed to Tools Menu, Folder Options and then View Tap. You will find the Hidden Files and Folders option there. The Show Hidden Files and Folders option should b enabled. Next click your iPod folder and the iPod control folder. Drag the music folder to your desktop so you can add music from iPod to computer.

My site will show you more tips on how to add music from iPod to computer.

Download iPhone Music Only from a Good Source

By Davion W

There are many designated sites nowadays where you can download iPhone music. Every sites offer different packages which are enough to suit the need of various users particularly the music lovers. But before you avail any of these especial packages, try to make a comparison with other sites to determine the quality of service each one has to offer. There are also some important factors that you have to consider when you are making comparisons:

Reputation - Most of the sites where you can download music for iPhone are quite well-known, trusted and recommended by many users. To check about the popularity of the site, it would be helpful to see their search engine rankings by Google searching for them.

Assortment - It is also important to check on the website's collection of iPhone music to download for you to determine whether they have enough good music to offer. Those sites with few items in their archives are not preferred by many. They are those that do not have much to offer.

Price ? You should also check on how much you should pay for joining. So far, the standard rate is $ 49.95. If a site offers something bigger than this, it will not be advisable to join. Of course there are sites that do not even ask for a registration or membership fee, but take note that they may not be legitimate. Moreover, they might not be safe to use.

Superiority - To make sure that a site gives superior service, you can read some reviews online on how their members are satisfied or dissatisfied. You should also check the quality of the video and audio, as well as if the download speed is fast enough.

Customer Support ? A legit site should have a customer support that can provide immediate assistance whenever you need to know something about your iPhone music download concerns. It is indeed a nice thing to get immediate help when you are experiencing hassles.

If a site does not have the qualifications that I've mentioned above, it would be advisable to consider another to avoid waste of time and money. Since you want only the best sounds for your iPhone, consider only the best sites to get your music from.

Being a music lover, myself, I've been downloading iPhone music for years and I wrote some blogs, useful critiques and important guidelines to other users. To find more about what I have to say on various download those sites, click HERE.

Kansas Vacation - a taste of what makes Kansas special

By Penelope SanMateo

Ok, so you are now entering the state of Kansas and you are dreading the long, flat boring drive where there is nothing to see or do. Well, wake up and look around! Kansas travel has an extremely interesting history, beautiful prairielands, fantastic museums, cultural events and atrractions and the most wonderful people in the midwest! Going from the large cities like Kansas City to the litty bitty towns of Garnett you will find great people and interesting things to do and see.

Kansas has a number of very small towns such as Selden with a population of 177 as of July 2007. What this means is that there is a lot of open space for people that want to visit someplace they can actually breath without running into someone else in exactly the same spot! Here people appreciate the land and the hunting available. The pheasants are plentiful as well as the hunting farms and ranches that play host to the visitors.

Ghosts, goblins and scary homes, that's what you can expect when you visit the "Most Haunted Town in Kansas." Atchison not only takes pride in this title but they have the Haunted Atchison Trolley Tour in September and October to take visitors around to the different homes that are acclaimed to be haunted. You will ride on the 1880 AT&SF trolley while seeing houses such as the McIntreer Villa where lights in the tower go on and off and there is not electricity there, ghosts appear in the windows and in family photos. Hear the footsteps that are in rooms where there is no one and doors closing in rooms that are empty. Scary! The one hour tour will show you a number of homes in the community that are claimed to be haunted...come and find out all about them.

If you enjoy the unique you will enjoy Henry's Sculpture Hill near Augusta. Here are an array of sculptures created from steel and/or found objects which will enchant you and entertain you. Since this is a private hill, the creator has stopped giving tours for now because of "maintenance, insurance, old age, and attitude, [but] serious buyers who are looking for original steel sculptures are welcome by appointment." So, if you see something you want to buy, make sure you go and talk to him, otherwise, just look and leave him alone for now. How refreshing to have someone of his artistic talent be so brutally honest.

There are times in our lives when being in the Garden of Eden seems like it would be a fabulous way to live. Obviously Dinsmoor of Lucas, Kansas thought so too. Following the Civil War this retired school teacher spent his final 31 years building his Garden of Eden. The "log cabin" was built with limestone logs up to 27 ft long and put together just like a log house would be constructed. None of the windows or doors are the same size to give the house a unique appearance. He then went on to build his garden which contains 113 tons of concrete adn with limestone and tells the history of the world starting with its creation. He gave tours of his 11 room house for years and now, you can see it and enjoy the history even though he has been gone for years! The cost for the tour is just $6 for adults and $1 for children so it is an inexpensive break from traditional sites.

Manhattan and Junction City are the home of Fort Riley. Here you can experience the history of the past and see the current military strategies. You can tour the last cavalry training stables with its original cobblestone flooring which used to house 76 horses. Today it still houses horses for the Commanding General's Mounted Color Guard where 20 head are ready for parade all the time. This facility was built in 1889. When you are through with this tour there are a number of others that will be just as interesting for you to see and enjoy.

Take the Gypsum Hills Scenic Byway to see the true color of Kansas. Here the hills are filled with canyons, rolling hills, mesas and buttes in stunning color, right in central Kansas. The red cedar tress add a beautiful touch to the terrain. The land is red because it is full of iron oxide which is actually rust. Get off the paved roads to see the real beauty but keep in mind that this is open range so keep your eyes open for animals.

How many towns do you know that have two water towers? Probably a lot of them, but have you ever seen a town that has a Hot and Cold water tower? Canton has these two which must bring a chuckle to residents when visitors ask if it's really true that one has hot and one has cold! It sure does show that those Kansas folks have a great sense of humor.
