This problem may be corrected by Canon for free if you suffer the above symptoms. But before reading further, first verify that you didn’t just accidentally turn off the LCD. To check, turn the camera on and press the “DISPLAY” or “DISP” button once. One other thing to check is that black pictures can sometimes be caused by a stuck shutter. Continue reading below, but if your camera is not on the list of affected cameras, please see this other article for self-fixing a stuck shutter.

Potential symptoms may also include purple scratchy lines showing up on the LCD monitor and the camera’s pictures. Other reported symptoms may be extremely distorted images (one reader likened them to the movie “Grudge”). Or blank or black pictures or black videos with good sound being recorded on the camera’s flash card. You may suspect that the camera’s shutter is not opening, but this is not the case. Note that the camera’s menu functions should show up without any problem.

A large batch of potentially faulty CCD image sensors (from another vendor who shall remain nameless) were installed on a large number of Canon cameras over the space of a few years. The sensors may go bad prematurely with time, especially if you live in humid areas. A big thumbs up to Canon in that they recognized this problem, and are willing to fix your camera for free if it is experiencing CCD problem symptoms, especially for the free shipping and handling both ways . Under the recall advisory this is regardless of the cameras warranty status! I recently got an old A300 fixed this way. They are not going to ask for receipts or any of that.

Please note that your camera must be experiencing these symptoms due to a faulty CCD, and not due to other problems. If the problem is due to your dropping the camera, you might be out of luck. Note that they’re going to look for dings and dents. They also are not going to repair your camera just to change out the sensor. If your camera is working fine, they don’t need to (and won’t) fix it.

The list of problem digital still cameras include: A40, A60, A70, A75, A80, A85, A95, A300, A310, S1 IS, S60, S200, S230, S330, S400, S410, S500, SD100, SD110, IXUS V2/300/400/430/500, IXY Digital 200a/300a/400/450/500

Canon’s advisory listing the program’s details may be found at: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=PgComSmModDisplayAct&fcategoryid=225&modelid=13390&keycode=2112&id=29819

You will be directed to call 1-800-828-4040 for further assistance. Or if you wish, you may also contact Canon via email at CareCenter@cits.canon.com. Make sure you print out the above advisory and have it in hand when speaking to the customer service representative. State the problem you’re experiencing with the camera. If for any reason it starts to sound like they want you to pay for shipping or repairs, MAKE SURE that you let them know that you are aware of the advisory for your camera, and quote the following paragraph from the advisory:

“Effective immediately, and regardless of warranty status, Canon will repair, free of charge, the products listed above exhibiting the above-mentioned malfunction if Canon determines that the malfunction is caused by the CCD image sensor. Canon will also cover the cost of shipping and handling in connection with this repair.”

You should receive several emails from Canon. One includes a short repair evaluation form that you’ll need to include with the camera, along with a free UPS shipping label that you’ll print out and tape to the camera’s shipping box. In addition to Canon’s repair form, make sure you print out a copy of the advisory and include it in the package. Also include a short note stating that you’re aware of the advisory, and that you’re submitting the camera for free repair as per the advisory. Just drop the box off at any UPS drop off point.

If instead of the above you receive an email that infers that it’s your responsibility to arrange shipping and/or pay for the repair, REPLY BACK IMMEDIATELY again quoting the above paragraph from the advisory, and also include the above link to the advisory in your email.

One important note. Some readers have been reporting that Canon had offered them as a replacement a refurbished “upgrade” camera, BUT at an inflated price. Not sure what this is about, but if this happens, recommend turning them down. The upgrades that have been reported seem to be older model cameras at much higher prices than the going price on ebay. Recommend pushing for and demanding the advisory dictated free repair with free shipping on your old camera. If offered a replacement, it should also be free.

Another reminder for you owners of cameras that are not listed in the advisory list of problem cameras, including other non-Canon cameras. If your camera is not listed in the above list of problem cameras AND it is taking black pictures, there’s a good chance that your camera is experiencing a stuck shutter. Don’t fret, as there are some simple fixes for this, albeit it may be a temporary fix. Please see this article instead for some tips on how to unstick that shutter.

Hope this helps some of you out there. Canon really does make quality cameras and stand behind their products. Please remember to come back and leave a comment below on how things went. We’re all curious, and your feedback may help others!

And finally, the following videos may help you understand what you’re getting with this free CCD repair. An SD100 (IXUS II) is the camera being repaired. Don’t try this at home (I know I won’t).

Ok so you set goals and now you need to implement them. To do this we need to organize a way of cross checking those goals to make sure you are on track.

Firstly have an outline. In other words allow room for maneuver. I like to set goals just as a plane prepares for take off. You know when you are sitting in your seat and you hear the pilot tell the Air Stewarts to cross check and make sure everything is ok.

Then the pilot inputs the destination co-ordinates into the computer. Once this plane is in the air, it is constantly been pushed of course but the computers are continually correcting the planes course so as to get to the final destination.

This is why I say, have an outline. Allow for deviations. Do not be too ridged. Keep your destination in mind. Do this by writing it down, allow for events pushing you of course, then correct it based on the information you have been given.

Set daily goals, weekly goals, monthly goals, quarterly goals, yearly goals then three and five year goals. Each set of goals cross checks the others.

The daily goals work towards the weekly goals, the weekly goals work towards the monthly goals, the monthly goals work towards the quarterly goals; I think you see what I mean.

So I just focus on the daily goals, on Monday’s I review the previous week and then adjust for next week’s goals and adjust accordingly for the daily goals and this goes on and on. The final destination is always in mind. This is written down.

Life is not fixed; things will happen from week to week knocking you off course, however because you are re-adjusting you will get to your final destination. Each time you are knocked of course you are given information which helps you to re-evaluate your situation. This information supplies you with the ingredients for success.

You already have what it takes to write and publish your book. And like other professionals you can create or increase your passive income stream each month. Your professional competitors wish you would never discover these secrets.

You may be asking “What if I’m not a professional writer?” You can still write your professional book and start earning in a few months. I am convinced your audience is waiting on your insightful expertise to help solve their problems. 

All it takes is a little know how to write your book like a pro. Start by solving your readers’ problems using your expert knowledge. You know the articles, speeches and reports already in your files.

Expand one of your articles or speeches into a short book by adding short stories and some practical how-to steps. If you want to write your book like a pro, self publish and increase your income, read these five secrets and apply them:

1. Secret One. Write a short book first to build your confidence. I know short doesn’t mean the same thing to every person. For books, let’s agree 50-100 or so pages is short, even 140 sounds less intimidating than a 200-300 page book. Your future customers are busy and usually read only what takes the shortest amount of time. For example, a friend of mine wanted to learn how to conduct tele-seminars. He said he didn’t hesitate buying a short book of 70 pages at $19.97 to help him learn the ropes of tele-seminars.

Make your book simpler, shorter, and punchier. Shorten your sentences, stories and analogies. Your professional format will include a strong heading (question) your reader needs answered and the answer. This professional formula presents the problem and solution quickly without a lot of words.

2. Secret Two. Focus on one topic in your book. It’s a known fact bestsellers focus on one main topic. Focus on one topic then write each chapter to support that subject. When you overload your reader with information, you come across as disorganized, wordy and flat. Instead of including everything you know, stick to one how-to subject and include plenty of simple details with examples to make it useful to your reader.

3. Secret Three. Brand yourself, your business and your book. Think about the greatest benefit that you offer through your book or service. Consider your book and chapter titles. Now think about your keywords and headings on your website. Do you see a repeating word that stands out?

For example, the book “Win With the Writer Inside You” the author threads some form of “win” throughout her materials. Ever heard of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series? The title changes in its audience but the Chicken Soup brand stays the same. For example, there’s a Chicken Soup for Teen-agers, Chicken Soup for Mothers, and so on.

4. Secret Four. Get a professional editor or book coach. Yes, its o.k. and you should get feedback from family, friends, local writing group, etc. But you need to get a professional viewpoint of your work to weed out the passive voice, bad grammar and all the things that slow your readers down to a standstill.

Copy that appeals to the emotions of your reader sell your books. Your future customers want word pictures that they can respond to with their emotions.

5. Secret Five. Target and get to know your audience. Let’s face it not everyone will want to read your book. Most uninformed authors write what they feel is a great book; spend tons of time and sometimes money looking for people to buy it. Instead match your expert knowledge with an audience you can serve.

Consider their needs, problems and how you can help solve them. Business people are a hot audience right now. They are hungry and willing to buy what will improve, make profitable their life and business. Right now think of one to three preferred audiences in your area of expertise. Then write the book your customers will be looking for.

It’s faster to write a book if you know how. People are looking for practical information and knowledge that you have. Don’t let your ideas, knowledge and expertise fade away. Put it to work for you in a book. Remember, if you need help contact a professional book coach or take an e-course to inform yourself.

Life is certainly full of ups and downs. How you handle the low points defines your character. It is always easier to take the defeatist attitude and just give up on your goals and aspirations. Or you can keep yourself motivated and in a positive frame of mind.

People who are successful are able to see themselves through difficult times by keeping a positive attitude and by taking any difficulty that comes their way as a learning experience. They also always keep a strong self image of themselves, no matter how hard life gets. According to experts, a strong self image motivation can help a person see beyond his or her troubles.

To establish a strong self motivation image, one should identify his or her motivation triggers. Motivation triggers are activities that one can do to stimulate interest in something.

According to studies, some of the most popular self image motivation triggers are:

* Setting specific goals

* Setting priorities

* Getting and staying healthy

* Exercising

The last two triggers are very important because without a healthy body and mind you will not have the vitality to carry out your goals. Living a healthy life keeps you full of energy, which in turn will keep you motivated.

Many self image motivation teachers believe that setting of priorities is the first step towards achieving something. It cannot be denied that we all have a long wish list and if we do not know how to set our priorities or values, we will not really be able to work well towards turning our dreams into reality.

Setting of priorities can help us to focus our attention on something that we want to accomplish within a given period of time. Once we know what we are up against, we find it easier to control our time and our resources. That feeling of power over the things that we want to achieve can enhance our self image and will help us work more efficiently and effectively.

By setting goals you are giving yourself something to pull you through a bad day, or a disaster. Always remember that if you have something to look forward to it makes the difficult times a little easier.

If you still are having problems self motivating yourself then you should tell other people about your goals and priorities so you are held accountable. You might be surprised at how motivated you will be just because you don’t want someone else to see you fail. This is always a great way to motivate others as well. For example most body builders lift weights with other body builders, not alone, because they keep each other motivated to train as hard as they can.

Remember that no matter how hard life gets, tough times always pass and everything happens for a reason. Learn from your mistakes, but never take your focus off of your goals and priorities. This focus will give you the self image motivation you need to succeed.

Throughout our lives, we all had the desire to be all we can be, although some of us ignore this desire. Many times, we may stay in our comfort zone without realizing that we are passing up opportunities to do something that we truly enjoy. Of course, the money may be good, your bills are paid and you find it easy to work with repetition. Yet, are you happy?

When you are ready to improve your personal life, you must turn your wants into needs. I need to be successful. I need to be a great parent. I need that promotion. I need to save my relationship, etc.

How to be your own life coach

Many of us spend time convincing ourselves that our dreams will never come true. We may feel that our dreams do not amount to anything. Poor self-esteem hinders the quality of life. In addition, you miss being your own coach. You can turn the negative thoughts into positive reflections, which will guide you to improve overall personal life. The next time you feel like turning yourself into a destructive thinker, breath deep and say, I love myself, just the way I am. Learn to walk tall and habitually think about what you want to achieve. Set plans, write down your goals, and take action to reach those goals. You may want to learn something simple. Learn how to be a better cook. Stop yelling at the children.

How to take steps in becoming a better you:

Thinking positive is a great start to improving overall personal life. Surrounding yourself around good influences will encourage you to acquire better behaviors. You will learn to practice these new habits daily. Once you conquer your obstacles, you can mark off the list of poor behaviors you have written down.

Tips for personal development and growth:

Learn to say no. For some of us, our natural instincts lead us in the right direction to helping others. Are you sacrificing your needs however, to consistently take care of other peoples needs? Are you taking time out of each day to pamper yourself for fifteen minutes or so? Are you taking actions to stop persistence that spreads yourself too thin?

If you spread yourself too thin, it will lead to sleepless nights, since you will feel anxious and depressed. Do you constantly keep yourself in the center of drama? If so, do not allow others to drag you down. Try to stay away from situations that drag you down and take you beyond your control. If you are focusing on the wrong items in life, you are not improving overall personal life.

Do you tell you that you are not good enough? Do you say you are not strong? Do you feel like you are not enough? Do you feel like you deserve what you get, when what you get causes you sadness?

For some people it is easy to focus on negativity, which causes them ongoing depression. If you are one of those people at interviews, when asked about your qualities, skills, etc, speaks out rambling off your bad qualities, you need to stop now. What you are doing is taking away your opportunities to achieve. Some of us are lost at words when it comes to speaking highly of ourselves. For some people this seems selfish, or boisterous, yet it is not. Learn to become your own best friend and give yourself frequent compliments. Stop focusing on your self and criticizing your every move, and forget about the past mistakes and focus on your future. Sure, we can say it is easier said than done; yet if you put forth effort it is easier than you believe. So many times, we do not take full responsibility of our own actions. We rather live a life blaming others for our mistakes or misfortunes. Do not obsess over past mistakes, live in denial, and stop blaming others to see how your life will improve. We all make bad choices in life. This is a part of living. Learn from your mistakes and move ahead. Treat each new experience as a point of learning. Next, we can learn how to wake up to improving overall personal life.

Have you ever wanted to go to a sporting event or concert and after realizing the event is sold out and went into shock at how much the ticket was selling for in the secondary market? If you have been there, you are not alone. You have realized the potential profits in the ticket broker business.

On the surface it seems like an easy enough business to get into. Low barriers to entry, one can slip in and out of the market as one desires, potential for big profits – these are all true and are good reasons to become a ticket broker. Just like every other business, there are risks involved – what happens if the tickets do not sell? How do you maintain a large inventory and not loose track of everything? What are the best places to sell? What are the best tickets to buy? A few wrong decisions can become very costly.

Many would-be-entrepreneurs will simply never enter the ticket broker business. The moniker of “scalper” keeps them away. Somehow “scalper” has become equivalent to “used car salesman” or “Enron energy trader”. It has a perception as a slimy profession. Out attitude is let it stay that way. It only keeps people out of the industry. One thing that hurts the existing people in a business is when there is a flood of new entrants into the marketplace. The scalper perception keeps people out of it.

Speaking of scalping, why is this bad? How did people get the idea that all mankind has an inherent right to purchase tickets from the place of origin? In the US we have capitalism. Think back to your economics 101 class and the supply and demand lecture. Sport and entertainment tickets are a perfect example of a perfect market, which is where the price of the supply is solely affected by the demand. Prices for a Hannah Montana ticket are way more than a Foghat ticket.

When someone buys a house and resells it, we call it flipping houses. If they are good at it they get a cable TV show. How come they don’t call it house scalping? Which one really has more impact on the average Joe?

Back to the business. You are convinced that there is money to be made. The first order of business is deciding what to buy. This is not always so hard. If Madonna is announcing a tour, there will be demand. The hard part is knowing who is announcing their tours and when the tickets go on sale. This can be a time-consuming task.

Someone who knows a bit about current music has enough knowledge to know what tours are going to be popular or not. This is not rocket silence. We spend a lot more time investing in discovering what is coming up for sale than we do on the decision on whether to buy or not. This is an important point. If ticket brokering is you business, you need to spend more time deciding what event to buy and not discovering what events you can buy. More on this later.

The next part of being a ticket broker is deciding where to sell. There are many options and you keep getting new ones. Stubhub and Ebay are good starting points. Ebay you pay a bit upfront and if you have a large inventory, you need to invest in third party software to help out. Also with eBay, if you have a problem with a customer, you have to solve it. One cranky and unreasonable person can suddenly cost you 20 hours of your precious time. When you consider that, is the 15% Stubhub charges seem expensive? Does the Stubhub 15% charge sound expensive when you can sell some tickets for 25% more than Ebay?

Let’s not forget about the ticket coop site. TicketNetworkDirect and others list your ticket on hundreds of sites and charge fewer fees per ticket. FanPrice has a different system all together because they let the buyers quote a price they are willing to pay.

The reality is most ticket brokers use a combination of all these channels to sell their inventory. They choose the channel based on time to the event, time of the year and nature of the event.

A few examples:



NBA Tickets make great Christmas presents and you can get some premium prices by listing them on eBay one to three weeks before Christmas

The best price you can get on an MLB ticket is in February on Stubhub right after the tickets go on sale to the public.

If you are days away from an event, recover any cost you can from Fanprice

Never stand in front of a stadium saying “I got two”. This is the worst use of your time.



The next big item to consider is whether the seats you are about to buy are worthy of the secondary market. For a World Series game, every ticket is a good ticket. For a Madonna concert, maybe not. Top 10 rows on the floor are going to command a high dollar. Nose-bleed seats you will be lucky to get rid of. Just like in real estate – location, location, location. We do not buy a ticket for every opportunity we get to buy one, not even for the biggest events. We do our homework and figure out what is a good seat to buy in a specific stadium and what is not. Half the time, we do not buy anything because what is offered to us is not any good and we will not be able to sell.

When you start getting more and more inventory, an efficient operation becomes an important item. When you are buying fifty to one hundreds transactions a week, you cannot waste time. The time window for buying good seats is small. Presale codes are essential. Presales enable you to buy tickets before the general public. These seats are often, but not guaranteed, to be better seats.

Sounds easy enough, but how do you get all the presale codes. They come from multiple places – credit card companies, stadiums and fan clubs are just a few. Just like with trying to find out what is coming up for sale, you need a good and reliable source for presale codes. Without these lifelines, your ticket brokering business will flounder because of lack of supplies.

There is an approach to the ticket brokering business that is helpful. There are several events every year that everyone has the potential to buy tickets for. These select events enable you to make thousands of dollars on each transaction. We base out business on positioning ourselves to purchase these tickets. Our goal is to make a decent return on many events through out the year (15% – 25%) and capitalize on these high revenue events that can bring in up to an 800% return.

Being a ticket broker can be a very lucrative business. Any business comes with risks. The more you know about the industry, the more likely you are to make the correct decisions and stay profitable. It is always a good idea to learn from those who have been there. Take the lesson from their mistakes as opposed to making the same one yourself.

One also needs to find quality sources for on-sale information and presale codes since these essentially determine the quality of your supply chain.

Greg Cox is a ticket broker and has been for several years. One of his companies, MyTicketBiz.com teaches entrepreneurs how to become successful ticket brokers. His startup kit offers the “Ultimate Insiders Guide to the Ticket Brokering Business” but buyers of his kit also receive a subscription service for upcoming on-sales and performances of past sales. Buyers also receive a presale code service that provides them new presale codes several times a week. For more information, please visit http://www.MyTicketBiz.com

While the overall number of male plastic surgery procedures performed in the past decade is up, women still far outnumber male patients by about 10:1 in most parts of the country. While male plastic surgery patients undergo some different procedures than women, their motivations for undergoing face and body changes are also different.

While both men and women undergo plastic surgery to look physically better, you have to dig beyond this obvious level to understand what their true motivations are. The desired physical concerns or desired changes are just a reflection of their unspoken concerns. Generally speaking, most women undergo plastic surgery for internal self-image motivations. They want to fell better about themselves. Correcting a physical flaw is one approach to self-improvement. (and perhaps the easiest?) Whether it is a tummy tuck to look better in clothes or t have their eyes done to look more refreshed, plastic surgery for women is mainly about improving themselves and is not necessarily for others. I hear this over and over…’my husband says I look fine the way I am’…or…’my friends say I look fine’. But yet, women want to have the surgery anyway…because they to effect an internal self-image change. Men, conversely, often undergo plastic surgery because they want things. Whether it be to have more women, sex, money or power…it most always deep down is motivated by a desire for external or more tangible things. As a plastic surgerycorollary to ‘Men are Venus, Women are from Mars’…Women do things for themselves, Men usually do things for somebody else. or other external raesons.

The male plastic surgery patient is also different from the female patient in other ways as well. They often do not prefer to undergo radical procedures that make a drastic change in appearance, have less pain tolerance, follow postoperatve instructions less carefully, do not want a prolonged physical or social recovery, and can be more vocal about the outcome of the surgery. (or they are at least more vocal) Much of this has to do with the general greater impatience of men who want to get to the final result quickly…and usually more discretely. This is why smaller more subtle procedures for men are often better, even if the result is not as significant. Men get no accolades, and certainly little support, in society for suffering through a plastic surgery recovery. And the aging of men is generally better accepted in all societies. Women, conversely, garner more empathy if they are suffering to look more ‘beautiful’. In fact, our society expects them to do so.

The handling of the male plastic surgery patient, I have found, is quite different from a female patient. Because of the male mentality, some plastic surgeons do not enjoy working with men. They often require more time and patience than most female patients. And the demands of the younger male patient are higher than that of an older man. The young male patient, who often is more consumed with his personal appearance, can be quite demanding and is most likely to require more than one surgery to make happy.

Do you have a goal? If you don’t, you did better have one. It is easy to have a goal, just write down your dreams, what you want to achieve in your life. Did you know that if you have a goal today, it is going to lead you to whatever you wanted? In the opposite, if you don’t have a goal today, you are just going to be dangling in nowhere, because you don’t even know what you want.

Every successful person sets their goals. They know that without a goal, they cannot focus their energy and they do not know what to do. If you have a goal, for example, if your goal is to be the best tennis player in your school, what will you do then? This goal is going to constantly remind you that you have a mission to accomplish, which is to be the best tennis player in your school.

What happened next is that since you already have a goal, and your mind constantly reminds you that you need to achieve it, what you will do is to take action towards your goal. As for this case, maybe you will go for tennis games twice a week. This is how goals can propel you into taking action.

Maybe you will say that even if you have a goal, it will still not achieve what you want. Indeed, but did you know that if you have a goal, it will somehow take you into action, and you will at least improve a little even though you did not achieve your goal. Take the example above, even though you did not become the best player in your school, but you will still improve because you have taken the action of having tennis games twice a week.

Can you see it now? Even though goal cannot bring you what you want, but it will still improve and get you closer to what you want. If your goal is to make $1,000 this month, you take action but you did not achieve it, but do you learn something on the way? Of course, maybe you have learned how to make money and maybe you have made $500, right?

In a world that is ever changing and in many ways becoming more clinical and sterile people are finding it more and more difficult to express their emotions and thoughts with other people. Passion, love and happiness are all things that for certain people are becoming hard emotions to deal with, which is ironic as they are all positive emotions at their very cores. This is happening for many reasons and to many different people, whatever their socio-economic or educational background; however we really see this in the area of jealousy. This is alone an epidemic problem leading to more and more broken marriages and relationships year on year.

For the sufferer, jealousy can be devastating and can lead to massive pain, upset and anguish that can and will take its toll not only on the sufferer, but the people around them too. In most cases a jealous person will hide their emotions well and not let the outside world know what’s going on, however they can allow it to tear apart the relationships of the people that love them the most – their friends and family. Fortunately it is one of those things that you can not even imagine unless you go through it yourself – of which I hope that you never will.

So what can a sufferer do to eliminate jealousy from their lives? Well first the individual needs to understand why they are jealous. In most cases it usually comes down to problems with insecurity and low self esteem and also from an immense love for their partner. This is not always the case, but it is something that it usually present on some level. The immense love for your partner is good, however low self esteem and confidence issues are not. Just like cancer can play havoc with your body, so can jealousy play havoc with the sufferers mind.

Jealousy also over time just becomes a habitual behaviour that is present today because it was present yesterday. The best way to break this habit and build your confidence is through the use of hypnosis and self hypnosis. This successful approach simply reprograms your mind and creates a new set of behaviours, habits and beliefs. In doing so it boosts your confidence and makes you feel secure in yourself. You see, hypnosis works with the part of your brain that we refer to as your sub-conscious mind. This is the part of your brain that makes you…You – and also houses all the stuff that makes you jealous. By reprogramming this area you can start your journey of success and get the results that you both desire and deserve.
