For the past few months, Hotmail/Windows Live have been experiencing problems with their email accounts. Users have found that they've been sending mass-emails to their contacts, without even being online and/or Contacts have been deleted or changed. Hotmail/Windows Live says that these accounts have been hacked and the following should be done to fix it:
* Anti Virus Scan on your Computer/Laptop
* Anti Virus Scan(s) on All of Your Email Accounts.
* Change Your Password and Security Questions.
The Password and Security Questions should be changed after All Virus Scans have been cleared and completed. After this, Hotmail/Windows Live believes you will no longer have these problems. I have this problem with my email account, my dad's and my partner's account. My dad has been using my Mum's laptop, and did the Anti Virus Scan(s) on there. I did the same for my account and my partner's account, but from my own laptop - we rarely send emails, let alone check them. If we would like to send an email, we do this from our iPhone(s), there are no settings on the email application to help with this - you must be on computer (to change passwords etc).
Hotmail/Windows Live Forum - My Thread on what I have done so far and what Hotmail/Windows Live has suggested!
If you continue to have these problems, the only suggestion I have is: change/create a new email address with a seperate company to Hotmail/Windows Live and then import your contacts (only) from your Hotmail/Windows Live Account.
If you have a Twitter account and you are following @THEREALCHASKE then you would know @BeTheShift - United Global Shift. As spokesperson for UGS, it gives him the opportunity to impact many areas he is committed to shifting (poverty, sustainable communities, global empowerment).

Unfortunately, I am unable to add GeoTags. I was under the impression that the Picasa albums would help, but it hasn't for the moment.
I was on Twitter not long ago, checking out some Tweets. I have many followers who are rappers/singers/actors etc, who I also follow in return. Everyday, I see many tweets about signed and unsigned artists advertising/promoting themselves and their songs/music.
There are many talented people out there, trying their hardest to promote themselves. I don't like to retweet about artists, unless I have viewed/heard their work. I have added these artists to this site, which you can find on the right side of the blog. I have placed a ☆ next to the artist(s) that I have had the opportunity to experience their talent(s) - @IamAllTerrain and @AllTerrainPROMO
I recently came upon an artist, who I see tweeting his promos daily. What I didn't realize was... how talented this person actually is. I recommend that you check out this song:'Motivated' by T-Pain, featuring All Terrain. Please leave a comment (YouTube Site) after you have viewed/heard the song!
Stats:
Born 5th December 1980 in Baltimore (MD then moving to Richmond VA), Rapper All Terrain: Also known as Milleo, was always interested in Music. Emceeing from a young age, like most musicians - found it hard it make ends meet and had to make a few life-changing choices which found him briefly incarcerated.
At the age of 26, All Terrain decided to pursue his main focus back on music and entertainment, he then released his first MixTape "Constellation Boyz Vol. I" receiving great reviews. Soon after, in the summer of 2009, All Terrain put out his much anticipated first full length album titled "Land, Water, or Sand". He has over 100 songs already recorded, but not all have been publicly released.
In 2000, All Terrain and his good friend/business partner Nick New and other friends, created/started the indie based - Enterprized Records in Norfolk VA. Founder and Affilliate of the Constellation Family, working together with close friends, they put their talents to use (music, networking, marketing etc).
All Terrain's newest contribution to the music world has been released "Constellation Vol. II - Back In Position" and you can find it on DatPiff and other national and internation music websites and blogs. He has also featured in many Mixtapes of Dj's around the United States and overseas. German Dj Mix Master G has also featured All Terrain in his mixes.
All Terrain currently resides in VA Beach, VA. and is recording his new full length album titled "Bang County" which is scheduled for an early 2011 release and will be available on iTunes and other online retail outlets.
All Terrain is committed to making creative, mind stretching, quality music and creating opportunites for the future wealth for himself and his people. With an ability to ride any beat with a grimey flow, remarkable word play and content it is no surprise that All Terrain is on the rise as one of VA's most talented rap artists and soon the entire world will know about All Terrain aka Milleo.
Also released are free Ringtones, which can be found on All Terrain's Website!
Please Do Not leave comments on this site for the Artist, as this site is in No Way associated. My post about him, is just my way of showing my Appreciation for his Music. All links are 'Direct' to the Artist!
'We Are The World', the single song for charity, was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, and co-produced by Quincy Jones and Michael Omartian for the album We Are the World. And was recorded by USA for Africa to benefit famine relief in Africa. Following Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?" project in the UK, an idea for the creation of an American benefit single for African famine relief came from activist Harry Belafonte, who, along with fundraiser Ken Kragen, was instrumental in bringing the vision to reality. Several musicians were contacted by the pair, before Jackson and Richie were assigned the task of writing the song. Following several months of working together, the duo completed the writing of "We Are the World" one night before the song's first recording session, in early 1985. The last recording session for the song was held on 28th January 1985. The song became a part of History, drawing some of the most famous singers and musicians, from around the world. As of 2009, it has sold more than 20 million units and raised over $63 million for humanitarian aid in Africa and the US. Released on the 7th March 1985, as the only Single from the album.
On the 12th January 2010, a devastating earthquake hit Haiti. Over 80 of the world's top musicians came together to record a remake of the song, which was released on the 12th February 2010 entitled 'We Are The World 25 for Haiti'. Within 3 days of the song being released, between $344,430 and $798,330 had been raised by/through downloading the song. Critics hit the song hard, they did not like the rap and auto-tune that had been incorporated into the remake. Singer/Song Writer/Internet Personality Lisa Lavie's "We Are The World 25 for Haiti (YouTube Edition)" excluded the rap segment and minimized the Auto-tune that were the subject of critical reviews of the celebrity version. This version of the song was then incorporated with the Official Version, and both songs were available for download-by-donation. Critics liked the YouTube Edition of the song, feeling that it hadn't changed too much from the 'Original' song.
In the remake version of the song, Janet Jackson is brought in to do a duet with her brother, Michael. The 'Original' Video Clip and Singing of Michael remained, while Janet was added onto the side. The song was to Raise Awareness of the current disaster that had hit. Unfortunately, critics felt that the 'We Are The World 2' was a disaster in itself. The song topped more charts around the world, than the 'Original' version had previously.
All proceeds from "We Are the World 25 for Haiti" go to the (newly formed) charity We Are the World Foundation LLC, which will go straight to Haiti. The 'Original' version of the song was awarded many honours, including 3 Grammies, 1 American Music Award and a People's Choice Award.
We know that 'Natural Disasters' are unavoidable, but the loss and devastation that the Haitians endured, was nothing compared to how their lives would be afterwards. Raising Awareness in support of those who are in need - most people won't do anything about it. There are also people like myself, who may not be able to afford regular donations.... but am finding other ways - by Raising Awareness through My Blog, in hopes that others may do the same or may donate. Either way, it is showing support and Raising Awareness around the World!
For the past few months, I have spent alot of time exercising and getting fit by bicycle riding. Last week, I had an accident and have injured my right shouder, because of this... I now have to walk!
Today, I had a few errands to go on and walked into town. I pulled out my iPhone and began tweetin with my cousin @kawzican. On the way home, I came up with the idea of Twitter-Travels: I'd Tweet about a certain place/landmark, with a photo of it and a GeoTag, to show where these places were.
I have many followers from different countries, alot of them have never travelled to Australia (or elsewhere). I once read in a magazine, about a family who set up a webcam in their backyard - native birds were their main attraction. After many months of having 3 live webcams in their yard, a woman from overseas (UK or US) contacted the family - she had a cancerous tumor, and knew that she would never be able to do many things. This lady, had always wanted to visit Australia and was not going to have the chance. She wrote to the family in appreciation, although she will never make it here - she was glad that she was still able to see Australia and it's native wildlife (without having to visit).

To some people, this may not seem like much, but it meant alot to the sick woman and the family that made her smile. I hope, that my Twitter-Travel Tweets may one day do/be the same for other people who may have wanted to visit or similar. The original idea for this, was just so everyone could see the same things I get to see daily. If by chance it becomes more than that.... then I am glad that it was able to help someone.
For My First Post: For the past couple of hours, I have been trying to customize my blog/page - still having trouble with changing the font-type. I copied and pasted my layout from another site, unfortunately I am unable to edit it - no option(s) available in the template layout.
The only thing I could think of doing, was changing it in html format, which did not work. So, the CSS says that it will override my template with anything I put in there... it didn't! I had even used an online generator which uses the same fonts as Blogger, but it still won't work.
Actually..... anything I try to edit, won't work at all. The only time I have been able to edit the html, was with the original template I started with - yes, I forgot to copy the old html for future reference! So, I'll continue to do so and add to my blog at the same time (over the next few days)!
I have tried many different sites, but this is My First Blog Site and First Blog! I have just signed up today, so it will take me a little while to get use to this and to set up my Blogs etc!
