Texans Even Record With Win Over Bengals

By Ross Everett

Behind a career day for quarterback Matt Schaub, the Houston Texans erased a 17-14 halftime deficit to score-- points in the second half and defeat the host Cincinnati Bengals 28-17. Schaub threw for 342 yards and 4 touchdowns against one interception in the solid road victory. Against a team that had won three straight games in the final seconds, Houston never gave Cincinnati the chance to create any late drama.

Houston took the money as +3' road underdogs with the outright win, and both teams are now 3-3 on the season against the NFL pointspread. The 45 points just managed to stay UNDER the posted total of 46. The Texans have gone UNDER in 4 of 6 this season while the Bengals evened their NFL totals record at 3-3.

After the victory, Schaub said that his team knew of Houston's penchant for late game comebacks and that 'putting them away' would be a priority:

"Every game went down to the wire for them. Credit goes to them because they were able to find ways to win those games. So it was a matter of putting the game away."

The Texans' low key head coach Gary Kubiak would only offer that:

"Matt continues to put up exceptional numbers on the road."

The defense did a stellar job as well, shutting out the Bengals in the second half. In the third quarter, Houston only allowed six yards on nine plays for a franchise record. Cornerback Dunta Robininson talked about the defensive corps mindset:

"It was swarm tackling. Everybody has a job to do, and today we made this team a one-dimensional team. Overall as a defense, we played well."

In the losing locker room, wide receiver Chad Ochocinco admitted that his team knew that they couldn't rely on last minute heroics to win games:

"That's our fault. We've been saying that we can't keep winning with the way we've been playing. We've got to be consistent for all four quarters."

The Bengals will play their next two games at home, starting with a contest against the Chicago Bears this Sunday. Cincinnati is a -1 home favorite with the total set at 42. They'll host the Baltimore Ravens the following Sunday before traveling to Pittsburgh for a game against the Steelers on November 15. The Texans host the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, with Houston a -3 home favorite and the total set at 44. They'll take to the road for the next two games, playing Buffalo on November 1 and Indianapolis the following Sunday.

Job of the movie camera man

By Marjorie Gibson

Having a creative edge and knowing how to set up lights so that they create a specific mood is only a small part of a cameraman's work. A lot of cameramen are proud of their work, especially if they've joined the union. With a good editor, the end result of your work can look even better before and shock your audience.

Seeing your audience reacting how you wanted them can also be somewhat over-powering. When the audience reciprocates how you intended after watching your work, a feeling of achievement comes alive inside. All the hard work dedicated to bringing a production alive is well worth it when it is mastered.

To be a cameraman means that you have to creatively design a picture in the frame-which is incredibly difficult if you think about all the aspects in the shot that have to become unified-lights, props, the whole ambiance of the shot, have to be captured appropriately. To be able to unify all these elements takes a well-trained eye and good, creative vision.

The cameraman takes longer than everyone else in the crew because they have to prep the camera. Even though there are camera assistants, cameras consist of many small, delicate pieces and must be handled with extreme care. Working on set as a cameraman means you go to work early and stay late because of the camera and how long it takes to prep.

It's always a good idea to thoroughly check every piece of camera equipment you rent to make sure it works the way it's supposed to. Camera equipment tends to be on the heavy side-especially equipment rented from such large places like Panavision or Arri-so it's a good idea to stay in shape and lift weights so you can move all the heavy cases of camera equipment as fast and carefully as possible. Working in the crew on set requires that you are able to move quickly without hurting yourself or others on set.

Getting your "foot in the door" as a cameraman (or any crew member for that matter) is incredibly hard and requires a lot of time, persistence and ambition. Being able to operate and put together numerous cameras is an important skill to acquire in your camera career as well so you can be quick and efficient getting ready to shoot every day of the production. Lagging is bad in production work because there is never any time to waste. The quicker and more efficient you are at putting cameras together and operating them, the more jobs you'll attain.

Freelance camerawork, like I do, is the most difficult, as I believe, because it is never a promise. You think you'll be working a gig two weeks from now, and then in one week, the person or production company hiring you will call you to let you know the project had been cancelled.

The majority of getting your foot in the door has to do with networking, meeting and keeping in contact with other camera people from previous shoots or random contacts you just happen to meet. Even if you're still a student, there are a lot of people who have contacts and networking is a big deal and a big part of getting work in the film industry.

Game Reviews - Super Mario Galaxy For Nintendo Wii

By Tiffany Windhurst

Super Mario is undeniably the symbol of Nintendo since the early years of Super Nintendo. The release of Nintendo Wii gave life to another version of Mario, the Super Mario Galaxy. Super Mario has been a name accompanied with new releases of Nintendo game consoles, and to name some they are the Super Mario Bros I, II, and III for NES, Super Mario World for SNES console, and for the N64 we had the Super Mario 64.

Compared to the early releases of Super Mario, the Galaxy Wii is packed with mind-blowing graphics. The designs and the stages of the game are impressive and I must admit I was not able to play this game when I first saw it; I was literally shocked with its graphics and features.

Unfortunately, the story of the game is not impressive at all because it is explained very briefly. It's like a children's story placed in a great game. This is one of the flaws of Super Mario Galaxy. The good thing about Galaxy Wii is that the game itself can stand alone even without the story. All you have to do is to rescue the princess just like every great Super Mario game.

Another impressive feature about this game, are the different power suits of Mario. Every suit has different skills that will help you on your way to rescue the princess. One thing I love about all the Super Mario games is that you can play it over and over again without getting tired of the game. I only know a few games that people are more than willing to finish more than once and one of these are the Super Mario games.

If you are looking for a great game that will allow you to spend a memorable holiday season with your family, then you definitely should try Super Mario Galaxy Wii. This is definitely a game that will make your bonding moments more fun and memorable.

Unique Towns In America: Doylestown, Pennsylvania

By Jamie Brown

Have you ever heard of Doylestown PA?
From culture to theater you'll find it all in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Few cities can offer the culinary ambiance and tradition as well as the particular sophistication and splendor of this little Philadelphia suburb.

Beside monuments that capture the tradition of the tile works and the Mercer Museum are historic relics from the revolutionary and civil war era that beg ponderous of passers buy of the lives lost solidifying a position for our country as well as economic evolution as mom and pop shops have opened and closed over the 400 years of this town's existence.

To visit Doylestown is to love this place. Strolling down the historic back roads and stumbling upon the hidden treasures like the civil war museum, walk a little further and uncover tiny steel gated graveyards with tombstones that whisper a legacy of a time that has passed and lives lived and lost in the name of war and prosperity.

The town center is still the hub of this region where the local youth follow the tradition of loitering and sipping cold drinks on hot summer days on the benches in front of the Starbucks Coffee franchise; an odd place to host a crumbling franchise chain but a unique aspect to our little town none the less.

The County Theater is a local visual arts incubator as you can find some of the best kept secrets in the independent film industry projected on the walls within. Doylestown is one of those places that has continued to grow and prosper while responsibly turning the intake valve to expansion.

Historical codes to keep this quaint masterpiece a place where tourists can take a 3 hour vacation from the stresses of everyday life have set a stage that has made us the center of admiration to towns everywhere.

Telepathic Communication - An Introduction

By Alex J Gould

We only use ten percent of the brain to function and survive throughout life. A huge part of our brains remains unused.

The ability is within everyone to communicate using only the power of the mind. We are able to see what others are thinking without saying anything or using any physical effort.

We are trained from childhood to conform to our parent's expectations and the boundaries of society. The true powers of our minds are not explored as we are not encouraged or trained to think outside the box for fear of ridicule.

And so the ability fades into the background to surface on those odd occasions when the telephone rings and you just instantly know who's on the other end.

Is this a psychic ability or are we communicating with others through telepathy. Did you receive a message from someone needing to contact you?

There are many instances in our daily lives where we communicate with other people on a subconscious level. But did you know you it is possible to train your mind to communicate consciously as well?

The natural ability to interact using telepathy is undeveloped in most people. It is not used or recognized as we go through day-to-day life. Most do not think they have this power or know how to use it. A person has to focus on contacting another for it to be effective.

It's been scientifically proven that our thoughts have a frequency, much like radio waves, and they can be measured. If you can learn to harness the frequency of your thoughts and direct them where you want, then you'll begin to learn how to communicate using your mind alone.

Ways to develop your telepathic powers

*A trance like state - When you get into a trance like state and become very relaxed, you will be able to send and receive messages at will. It is somewhat like being hypnotized, your mind will be open and receptive to communication.

It is not hard to learn to slip into a state of trance. With a little practice, you will be doing it in no time.

*Focus - When you are relaxed and in a quiet place, think about a person you'd like to contact you. Focus on that person. Imagine that person receiving your message. Project positive, happy emotions and allow your thoughts to convey that you want this person to contact you. Don't feel as though you need to concentrate on a command. That simply won't work. Just continue to send positive impressions.

*Have faith - Never falter in your belief that this will work, know your receiver will get the message. Stay confident and use an open mind when exploring telepathy.

*Let go of the Trance State - Do not drift off, deliberately bring yourself back to reality and go on with day to day things. There is a good reason for doing this.

You must release your thoughts and feelings about this person. This has the effect of the person missing you more and thus increasing their desire to talk to you. The person should contact you very soon.

This is a great way to become focused on developing and using telepathy to communicate. You can use two people to practice and enhance your abilities.

Here is a quick method to practice your telepathic communication using two people.

*Send and Receive - One of you will send and the other one will receive. Discuss which one will be which. Assuming you are the sender, here is how it works.

Your friend, the receiver will need to write down anything that flows into his or her mind. Get a note pad and a pen ready and go over the necessity of writing it all down with your friend. Assure him or her that if it is thought it is not made up, this will help make sure it is all wrote down.

*See it - Use some simple images to focus on and send to your receiver. Things like a yellow sun, grapes, or a triangle. It will be easy for you to concentrate on these simple things and project them to your receiver.

*Transmitting - Relax and shut your eyes. Imagine a line of communication flowing to and from your receiver, perhaps an imaginary line between the two of you. Get as clear of a picture as you can of this line of thought flowing back and forth.

Visually place the object you want to send on or in the line you have visualized and then send it. Follow it all the way to your receiver and picture it clearly as you watch it going to its destination.

Visualizing is a very effective way to send messages telepathicly.

*Stop Sending - As soon as you are confident your message has been received, stop sending, hang up, clear your mind of it. This is very important because your sender will then realize the transmission did come in.This also allows the receiver an opportunity to record the image he or she received.

*Receiver - As with the sender, the receiver needs to relax and be as receptive as possible. He or she should also keep their mind open and record anything they perceive. He or she also needs to have good focus and a desire to see messages.

All humans will experience flashes and images in their mind's-eye when their thoughts are still. Your receiver will at first believe he's making things up, but it's important to still record any impressions.

*Results - When your telepathic training session is complete, compare notes of what images were sent and what images were received. You should see that even untrained minds will be able to pick up vague images and even though you won't get 100% of them right on the first try, there will be a few that match up.

For best results, practice often.

Search And Find A Good Movie Download Site To Join

By Angel Stephenson

There is a more convenient way of enjoying movies than renting them or buying DVDs. Thanks to the internet technology, movie downloads enable you to enjoy blockbusters with a few clicks of the mouse. But before you subscribe to a site offering this convenience, there are some things you need to consider.

One website may have a different mode of payment from another. Although it's not unlikely that a particular site will offer several modes of payment. When picking the kind of payment, consider the frequency of your movie watching. Can you afford to watch a movie daily? Or perhaps once or two movies weekly?

There are websites that will ask from you either a monthly or yearly payment upon signing in. But there are also those where payment is done only when you download a title. When deciding whether or not you should subscribe to movie downloading, consider the ups and downs. Think whether you will be able to save money through this mode, or actually spend more.

With regards to the titles you can pick, this will depend on which studios the site you're eyeing has agreement with. There are websites that focus more on indie films. But there are also those who carry a lot of mainstream movies. Where you subscribe to will depend on your taste for movies. You don't want to pay for a site not catering to your taste.

You should also consider the quality of the movie you are getting. This is to ensure you don't end up with an eye strain or headache by the end of the film. Take a look at the resolution size, which is often expressed in pixels. An example would be something that says like: 640 x 480 or 1280 x 1024 pixels screen resolution.

Second, consider the bitrate. A movie's bitrate can be expressed in either bps (bits per second) or kbps (kilobits per second). If this is beginning to sound like it's some techie stuff, it can be simplified. As a general rule of thumb, the bigger the numbers you see, the better picture quality you have. So check if the resolutions and bitrates carry big numbers.

Check how many current members a webpage has. For sure it will tell something about the quality of services offered by the site. Of course movie buffs will flock to websites that will satisfy their needs, more than just joining in based on popularity. Besides, it's what makes these sites popular in the first place: good service.

Security is another issue you need to be wary of. And by security, it means both on the files you download and online payment methods. Some files you get online may come with adwares, trojans, malwares, etc. These can harm your computer. But most legal sites are free of such threats. Payment through credit card or online banking must be guaranteed secured as well by the site.

Lastly, read on the terms and agreements of the website what you can do with your movie downloads afterwards. Will you be able to transfer your titles to other devices and play them? Will you be able to burn them onto DVDs? Some sites only allow you streaming, so you really don't get to save the movie itself. Check just how much flexibility a site can give you.

Helio Gracie: Father Of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

By Ross Everett

Helio Gracie--patriarch of the legendary Gracie MMA family--died earlier this year in Rio De Janeiro at age 95. His influence on martial arts, and even more so the sport that is known known as mixed martial arts, is staggering. The Gracie family name will forever be synonymous with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, MMA and the UFC due to the accomplishments of Helio Gracie and his progeny.

Helio Gracie began his training in mixed martial arts early, and by his teenage years was already teaching judo. While he had no problem mastering the theoretical aspects of judo, he found that many of its techniques were less effective for a practitioner with a smaller build. Along with his brother Carlos, Gracie began to work out his own fighting system by adapting many of judo's techniques and making them more a product of leverage rather than brute strength. This led to the creation of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), frequently called Gracie Jiu Jitsu in his honor.

Gracie also had a professional fighting career of his own, taking on champions from other fighting disciplines in an early version of modern MMA. These bouts were arduous, unregulated affairs with arbitrary rules and no time limits. By his own recollection, Gracie fought 15 times against the top opponents of his time. He began his career in'32 by submitting professional boxer Antonio Portugal in just 32 seconds. Later that year, he fought American catch wrestler Frank Ebert to a draw after the ringside doctor ordered the bout stopped after an ungodly fourteen ten minute rounds.

His most famous battle was against Japanese judo legend Masahiko Kimura, resulting in a rare loss for Gracie. Despite the setback, he fought bravely and may have actually enhanced his legend after refusing to submit to a reverse arm bar (the same modern MMA submission that now bears Kimuras name). Only after his arm was broken did his brother Carlos throw in the towel.

Gracies influence on the Brazilian sports scene, and later the nascent sport of mixed martial arts, would continue through his family. Married twice, he had seven sons (Rickson, Royler, Rolker, Royce, Relson, Robin and Rorion) and two daughters (Rerika and Ricci), many of whom went on to make their own mark on the fight sport world. Royce Gracie is well known as the first UFC superstar, while sons Rickson Royler, Renzo have also achieved considerable fame in professional MMA. At the time of his death, Helio Gracie was a 6th Dan Judo black belt and the only living 10th degree master of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Gracie died at age 95, after suffering stomach problems though the cause of his death was officially listed as 'natural causes'. His last words are classic and highly fitting for a man who gave so much to martial arts and fighting sports:

Gracie's last words are as follows:"I created a flag from the sports dignity. I oversee the name of my family with affection and nerves of blood.

Man Loses His License After Driving Barbie Car

By Saul Malpass

It's hard to believe headlines like this but it is in fact true Paul Hutton 40 from Essex was caught driving a Barbie car at the whopping speed of 4 miles per hour under the influence of alcohol. The father of four admitted to court that he had in fact been a 'right twit'. He was given a 3 year ban as he had been caught drink driving before in the last ten years he was also issued with an additional 12 month conditional charge and an 85 fine.

Hutton claimed he was surprised more than anything to receive the bans and fines. The car was designed for 3 to 5 year olds and not for a 40 year old man nonetheless Hutton decided to squeeze into it and almost comically drive it. He was quoted as saying "I was very surprised to get done for drink-driving but I was a twit to say the least. I'm not unhappy with my punishment, just a little bit surprised."

An ex RAF aeronautical engineer Hutton has now turned his attention to electrical engineering and it was part of his inspiration for the Barbie vehicle. He replaced the original wheels with bigger ones. It was a project he claims that he was working on with his son who is doing a car mechanics course.

The masterpiece was pink in design and had the children's toy Barbie printed on the side, the vehicle is slow and only runs about 4 mph, slower than a human jog or a mobility scooter and we can probably see by these facts as to why Hutton was a little surprised at being pulled by the police.

Chairman of the bench Neil Munson said: "This is most unusual." I have never seen the like of it in 15 years on the bench. "The vehicle is not even capable of doing the speed of a mobility scooter and could be outrun by a pedestrian." Taking this into account, we feel we can impose a sentence of a conditional discharge for a period of 12 months." The car was confiscated by police until the hearing but Mr Hutton now hopes to get it back.

1 in 5 breathalysers last year came back as positive in the UK and over half a million tests take place each year.

The Ferrari: Rich Legacy And Strong Innovation

By Dawn Morgan

There are a lot of different cars in the market today. Despite that, it's very difficult to not fall in love with a Ferrari. With a rich legacy of producing some of the fastest and most luxurious cars in the world, they continue to wow their supporters with several innovations that can make the most modern cars a run for their money.

Over the past few decades, the Ferrari has not only been a staple vehicle for race car drivers, it also signifies elegance, versatility and an evident touch of class. There are specific Ferrari models that may date back to over fifty years ago, but because of their innovative developments and remodelling, they are able to produce a fast and dynamic car that everyone will love.

This Ferrari boasts of a 7 speed transmission and a V8 front engine, but that's probably the least of the many advantages of this car. Have you ever heard of Ferraris with backseats? Well, here's one of their first ones! They coined the term 2+ to signify this new model. They have also aptly nicknamed the Ferrari as the Grand Tourer, and with definite good reason. It's hard to think of anyone who would not want to ride a Ferrari, and so they have made specific models that will be handy for this purpose.

Trying to sell a Ferrari to a skeptical customer can immediately turn things around once you are able to talk about speed. While others would complain about the backseats, getting on a Ferrari with 193 mph and a four second travel from standstill to sixty is enough to wash those worries away. The impressive speed that can only come from a Ferrari is more than enough to compensate for the space that we normally try to find in other vehicles.

The Ferrari has also had its share in television and film, keeping its reputation for speed and functionality. One of the cars used in popular films would be the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder. There were only less than 100 units sold for this model alone, and figures have shown that it was sold at a price tag of 11 million dollars at an auction!

Some car lovers still prefer the old models, and if you remember the car used in the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off, you would recognize that as being a 250 GT. It was sold in an auction for almost 11 million dollars, so it would be quite obvious that the one used in the movie was just a replica.

Enzo Ferrari developed this company less than a century ago, but it does not seem to have lost its glamour. Calling it a nice car would actually even be offensive to die hard Ferrari owners. Modern, luxurious and exotic, the Ferrari's classic color and simple design is enough to make you want one. Driving it may not be enough because you would want to take it home and understand why people all over the world has enjoyed this car so much.

We may see a lot of newer cars in the market. One thing is sure though: legacy of the Ferrari lives on. As they continue to move forward with their desire to make more customers happy, they are sure to remain as one of the global leaders in the automobile industry.

Memphis, Tennessee: A Familiar City

By Joy Mullins

Having spent a large few of years living in Memphis, I am excited to share and to spend a few minutes sharing some basic information about the city itself, as well as a few interesting sites worth spending some time at. I am assuming, hopefully not erroneously, that the reader is not familiar with Memphis and may be considering a visit.

If that happens to be the case, fantastic! It is a lucky person who gets to visit the cultural hot-spots Memphis has to offer for the first time.

One of the best to visit in Memphis, TN when I'm hungry to get a bite to eat or drink is the Cooper-Young area. The Cooper Young district -- as well as Memphis, Tennessee as a whole -- has a number of restaurants that are entirely unique to Memphis, and you won't find represented in any other city. That is, except for Memphis, of course.

The Cooper-Young neighborhood has Young Avenue Deli, for example. The Young Avenue Deli has won awards for its food, has a fantastic selection of everyone's favorite brew -- beer. Young Avenue Deli has been called one of the very best places to see live music in Memphis. In addition to the food, alcoholic beverages, and music it also has a smoke shop.

The Cooper Young area is also home to Memphis' most famous pub... Celtic Crossing. Celtic Crossing has great food, good beer, an awesome pub atmosphere, and lots of events. The Celtic Crossing weekly events include, but are not limited to: live music, pub quiz night, and a brunch on Sundays. The patio is a awesome place to hang out too on cooler spring days.

Of course, things to do in Memphis aren't limited to just the restaurants on Cooper-Young. There's a number of popular museums worth visiting as well.

The Pink Palace is one such example of a museum in the greater Memphis, TN area. The Pink Palace museum began with the construction of a palatial 36,500 square foot estate in 1922 by the founder of the Piggly Wiggly grocery chain, Claurence Sanders. At the time Saunders named the future home of the Pink Palace Museum "Cla-Le-Clare" but it was nicknamed "Pink Palace" by the many people of Memphis who were able to see its building within clear view from Central Avenue.

Clarence Saunders never did end up being able to live in the palace, however. Clarence Saunders lost his fortune, and the mansion was acquired by another company which donated the house to the city of Memphis, TN for use as a museum. In 1930 it opened as the Memphis Museum of Natural History and Industrial Arts

A Couple Of Basic Guitar Songs To Learn For Any Beginner

By Frank Morris

Anyone looking to start to learn the guitar should pick out a few simple songs to get going with. If you start out with easy guitar songs to learn then you will provide yourself with all of the basics that you will need, while at the same time helping to build up your confidence.

Anyone who thinks learning the guitar is extremely difficult should think again. It really isn't that hard and one of the best ways to learn quickly is actually to start by learning some basic songs, rather than by learning all of the different chords and notes.

There are lots of different songs out there that are both well-known, very popular, and very easy to learn and perform. These songs will provide you and anyone listening to you with a great deal of entertainment and they shouldn't be too difficult for you to learn them. At the same time anyone listening to you play will not really be aware of how easy they are, unless they already have experience playing the guitar on their own.

So what type of songs should you start off with? Well, you might want to start off by learning songs by Green Day. Pretty much every Green Day song is fairly uncomplicated and yet they are all well-known and sound great when performed properly. 'Time of your life' is certainly a great option for beginners and should be one of your starting tracks.

Anyone who enjoys a bit of older classic music may want to turn to the Beatles. Again, many of the different songs by the Beatles are relatively simple to perform and learn and while some of them will require a little bit more experience, others can easily be picked up by any beginner. One of the most obvious options is 'help'.

Another simple song to pick up is 'about a girl' by Nirvana. The basic verse is purely a progression of G and A chords played in an open position. The chorus is slightly more complicated than the verse, but once you have picked up on this particular part of the song it shouldn't be difficult to learn the rest.

On the day, any song that you start off with needs to actually engage you. It is important for you to consider genres of music that you actually enjoy and and specific songs that might be appropriate within them.

However, something that will remain close to the top of the list for a large number of people would be watching films. Movies a enormous business and films all over the world will be bringing in billions and billions of dollars each and every year. Of course the best place to watch any film will be at the cinema with the enormous screen and amazing surround sound.

MP3 Players Are Cooler Thank You Think

By George Burton

If you are searching for an MP3 player, chances are high you can be pretty overwhelmed now with the many various specs along with the huge selection of units present. You've recently learned that you may put an existing favorite songs collection on to one music player and that is legitimate - even though not every single MP3 music player. You'll have already been notified that you simply could chuck these products around, go out running with these, clamber up a mountain side using one and all of this is valid - however, not every single MP3 player likely will stand up to this kind of process.

In simple terms, if you want to get physical when using an MP3 music player you'll need one without any shifting materials. In such a case, the iPod device is just not what you wish for. You would be buying a product which will will save your audio files to memory storage. Many of the most trendy MP3 players that will fall under this valuable category will probably be purchased from pretty much any technology shop, using the net or otherwise not.

You can get realistically several sorts of MP3 players. Hard drive formulated, random access memory built and Mp3 Cd player modeled. The hard drive music players make it easier to retain a lot of songs whilst the R.A.M. structured version sacrifices audio volume levels pertaining to independence of movement. Additionally you can get water resistant audio players. The MP3 Cd players start reading the MP3 audio files out of a compact disc that you've pre-burned.

So you now have more than enough information to comprehend what version of MP3 player you should be on the search for. So what now with reference to capacity? Simply how much audio tracks would you get on the different MP3 players these days? Let's take a glimpse, down further.

If you appreciate your own personal beats to sound really good you ought to be using at the very least compact disc quality MP3s. A minute or so of CD quality audio consumes roughly 1Mb. Generally memory based music players employ a primary limit of around 500Mb which means you can start getting approximately one hundred twenty usual size songs on there. But also the top end hard drive products climb to as much as 60Gb of which is really a considerable amount of music files.

The next interest may be life of the battery. The hard disc drive portable music players consume through the batteries at a tempo of knots considering the disk has to physically rotate. The memory built option relies on a great deal less power supply. Lots of the memory space structured audio players work with the AAA fit battery that's pretty hassle-free because you will not need a re-charger as well as you won't need to find difficult to find battery styles. You will find that nearly all hard drive machines apply lithium-ion rechargeable batteries and if in case you employ your music player a lot, your battery recharger will probably be in repeated use. Plenty of people quite frankly leave the electricity lead plugged in if they are at home.

An important and vital consideration with your commitment will need to be the size of the MP3 player. If you want to implement your MP3 player at the health club or just as you are out sprinting you'll prefer the tiniest music player practical. You will find several rather tiny devices on the Internet. You can expect to have to compromise selected memory space using a very small portable music players on the other hand would usually build enough tunes on there to get through a really good, prolonged exercise.

If you need to use your audio player a lot more in your own home then size will not be such a huge issue. The iPod device remains a very small in size device a great number of individuals shall be planning to put their entire collection on there. As you can imagine, the iPod devices isn't just your ideal choice and there a wide range of fantastic makers in the market.

As a replacement over the home hi-fi system, the MP3 music player is becoming ever more popular. High fidelity ought to remain available and naturally will never be lost but then to the majority of of people the good quality of the MP3 is absolutely suitable for much of our day by day jamming purposes.

Honestly discussing a large amount of present day players entering on to the economy have actually been designed with both mobility and usefulness in mind. What a more desirable choice to amuse your social gathering guests than to have your music player randomly selecting beats taken from more than three thousand of your well liked records?

Kobe, Iverson Miss NBA All Star Game

By Ross Everett

The NBA All Star game was played without a couple of high profile participants this year as the Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant and Philadelphia 76ers' Allen Iverson would not play due to injury. Kobe and 'AI' were the latest in a string of injuries to All Star players that also claimed Portland's Brandon Roy and New Orleans' Chris Paul. The NBA has been much more strict about attendance at the All Star game since a number of players skipped out with dubious injuries.

Kobe Bryant has been plagued with minor injuries all year, but missed the Lakers' last three games prior to the All Star contest due to an ankle sprain. Los Angeles is hopeful that by not playing in the game that Kobe will be able to return to action immediately after play resumes following the All Star break. Bryant did travel to Dallas to participate in All Star game festivities. Kobe is always up for a party, and reportedly had a fabulous time in Dallas over the weekend.

Iverson has missed Philadelphia's past five games due to an illness suffered by one of his young children. Unlike Kobe, Iverson wasn't expected to be in Dallas this weekend due to the nature of his situation. It's debatable that Iverson deserved an All Star game nod in the first place. He quickly wore out his welcome in Memphis to start the year, and eventually landed back in Philadelphia where he's averaged 14.4 points per game since his return. He was voted in to the starting lineup by NBA fans, and this renewed calls from the media to revise the procedure for selecting All Star game participants. Unfortunately, many of the All Star voters are dimwits and pick players based on their 'name recognition' rather than their in-season performance.

Jason Kidd of the Dallas Mavericks was chosen to replace Bryant in the Western Conference lineup, while New York's David Lee was the East's fill in for Iverson. The West already had two 'fill ins' named to their roster as Denver's Chauncy Billups and the LA Clippers' Chris Kaman took the place of Chris Paul and Brandon Roy respectively.

NBA betting enthusiasts had several options on the menu beginning with the annual 'rookies vs. sophomores' game on Saturday. The Sophomores were a -12 point favorite with the total set at 245' but were crushed by the rookie team. As usual, defense was in short supply at both the 'rookie v. sophomores' game and the actual All Star event.

Tips On How To Sing

By Pamela C Smith

There is the notion among many that you either can or cannot sing. This is not true. Many people can learn if they get some good tips on how to sing. These start with practical ideas anyone can try.

One simple rule that anyone can observe is to watch what you eat and drink before singing. Some professionals give up chocolate or cheese for the duration of their careers. Others just need to observe a few rules on performance day.

Examples include anything with dairy. This means milk, chocolate, cheese and substitutes which simulate these. Other substances to be wary of are nuts, granola: items that stick in the throat or cause allergic reactions, making airways close up. Watch chemicals like sulfites if you happen to be sensitive.

The next important rule is breathing. Air comes from the diaphragm, not the nose. This is a mistake many people make when first trying to sing. They try to force sound out of their throats and noses, not realizing how much more effective proper breathing would be.

Work by alternative activities. Take a deep breath and sing an exercise like scales or intervals. Push out short breaths on one note, singing just ha, ha, ha.

Standing straight is also important, or sitting straight. Keep feet flat on the ground, neck stretched up. Never stretch it back, though. This simply cuts off air and sound.

Develop confidence. Nerves seriously affect the sound you make, giving it a warbly texture. Pretend that every note is perfect. Sometimes, the confidence you exude is enough to convince audience members that every note is, indeed, perfect.

Do not reach from under a note to hit it. This may result in a flat sound. Go for the top then drop down on top of a note. As long as you do not hover above, a sharp sound will not result.

Get in as much practice as you can. As with anything you learn to do, this is critical. Besides, your throat muscles need to be flexed and challenged just like hamstrings and biceps do, to get stronger. Within a short time, that one and half octave range which was your norm may extend to two octaves or further, opening-up a range of songs which seemed too hard to try before. Now, nothing will stop you.

Review Of Roulette Killer Software

By Marcus Burns

Roulette Killer is a very popular roulette betting program that has been around for about 3 years now. Online marketers flocked around it as soon as it was released in an attempt to gain a commission from promoting it.

You will find a lot of positive reviews about it when you search for reviews for it online, however none of this good feedback is true. If you ever see a roulette software program or eBook available to buy on the internet, all the affiliate reviews that you will see will be positive but untrue.

All you do with roulette killer is enter the last 10 numbers into the software and then it will tell you where to bet. All it does is tell you to bet on all of the outside bets that have appeared the least over these last ten spins.

A very simple example would be if you had 2 reds and 8 blacks in the last 10 spins you would be told to bet on red. This obviously doesn't work long term, roulette strategies like this are known as fallacy.

What makes roulette killer a scam is the blatant lies that are on the website. For example the author says that winning at roulette is a simple three step process and then has a picture of a cartoon character holding a large bag of cash.

He claims to personally make over $10,000 a month and has various pictures of luxuries on his site which he claims to own such as a Porsche. There's even a picture of an online bank statement showing over half a million dollars.

It is really irrelevant whether the bank balance picture is real or not to be honest, as he could be this rich, but he could have scammed people to get in that position. One thing's for sure he definitely did not win that money from winning at online roulette.

I definitely recommend steering well clear of roulette killer for sure. It is amazing though because the internet is full of things to warn you away from it, there are lots of people falling for the fake reviews and getting scammed by it.

Dolphins Outlast Jaguars In Soggy NFL Preseason Affair

By Ross Everett

In a NFL preseason game characterized by rainy weather, sloppy field conditions and a quick exit for both teams starters, the Miami Dolphins outlasted their in-state rivals the Jacksonville Jaguars by a 12-9 score. Only one touchdown was scored in the game, which was a battle of field goal kickers until the third quarter. Miamis game winning score came on a 33 yard touchdown strike from Chad Henne to tight end Ernest Wilford.

Miami's Ernest Wilford recently converted to tight end from wide receiver, and gave the football an emphatic spike after his game winning touchdown reception. Afterwards, he spoke to reporters about the game winning score:

"There's a sense of urgency for me. I want to play well this year. It's a good start. That was a lot of frustration right there. I didn't play that much last year, so I had to let it out."

Dolphins QB Henne was pleased with his first effort of the NFL preseason:

"Overall I thought I played pretty well. I got some points on the board and had us moving."

Jacksonville QB David Garrard gave a by the book assessment of his teams opening game performance:

"We have to get better at some of the protection issues. I have to make sure I get everybody lined up in the right spots."

Newly acquired Jaguars wide receiver Tory Holt was happy with his only reception of the game:

"I had been anticipating this day for a long time. I enjoyed it and it was a lot of fun. I am looking forward to many more."

Despite the loss, Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio was generally upbeat about his teams effort:

"We are going to be physical up front. I liked what we did up front."

Not surprisingly given the tempo of the game, the most heated battle for a starting spot was between the Dolphins placekickers. Both incumbent Dan Carpenter and challenger Connor Barth were perfect on their kicking attempts.

The Dolphins will begin the NFL regular season on Sunday, September 13th against the Falcons at Atlanta, while Jacksonville will play the Colts at Indianapolis.

Great Accessories To Enhance Nintendo DSI Experience

By Tiffany Windhurst

We cannot deny the fact that Nintendo DSI is becoming one of the best hand-held video gaming consoles today. This article will be showing you some of the accessories that will help you protect or even enhance your Nintendo DSI experience

The first thing that people will look for, just right after buying their DSI is the case that will protect the console. When buying game console case, make sure that you buy it not by design but by the quality of the case, as it will help you extend the lifespan of your DSI.

When you purchase a unit of Nintendo DSI, it comes with a touch pen that will help you play games better. However, people with bigger hands prefer to have larger touch pens because small pens can cause their hands to cramp up. Having a bigger pen will help you play games comfortably even for long hours.

Overtime, the screen of the Nintendo DSI will get scratches and you need a screen protector to prevent your console from these damages. These thin plastic protectors may not last forever, and you will have to purchase another screen protector after a month or two, but it is a lot better than having the screen of your DSI getting scratched.

Another cool accessory that will prevent you from running on low batteries is the car charger. This is a very useful accessory especially if you have taken your kids for a long travel. Extra batteries may also be useful especially if you won't be able to use your car charger immediately.

These are some of the useful accessories that you can equip to your Nintendo DSI. Always keep in mind that you have bought your game console as a means of entertainment, and why not maximize your gaming experience by having these tools.

Just What Is The New Microsoft Xbox Kinect?

By Jon Claus

The Xbox Kinect looks a likely candidate to be one of the best Christmas gifts for 2010. Read on to learn more.

The Microsoft Xbox Kinect is the newest big release from the team at Xbox 360. It is the advent of controller free games and immersive game play like never before. You don't need a controller, your body becomes your controller via an avatar. With this new dimension in video gaming, you are taken deeper and deeper into the gaming experience. The way you interact with a game will change the way you look at motion control forever.

The Kinect works via self tracking, through its infrared and blue, red, and green camera. It makes every game title you play that much more enjoyable, and sports a real immersive experience like no other game. If your friends drop over while you are in the middle of a game, no problem, they can simply jump right in without restarting the game. With its 48 point tracking and it's amazing facial recognition software, the Kinect is further blurring the line between game worlds and the real world.

1If you and some friends feel like staying in and watching a movie, you can just say "Netflix" out loud, and the Kinect will load your Netflix right on your Xbox, letting you choose what movie you want with a simple wave of your hand, or just saying the title of the movie you wish to see.

Xbox Kinect biggest serious contender is the already very well established Nintendo Wii. Where Xbox wins over the Wii is that the Wii requires controllers to be used, the Kinect doesn't. The Kinect offers much more freedom of movement than the Wii as you are not restricted by the limitations of movement of a controller. You actually feel as though you are part the game, as opposed to just being beside it.

The Kinect is changing the face of home gaming / entertainment in new and radical way. And it's not just for the younger gaming crowd. The Kinect appeals to people of all ages by getting them off their butts, onto their feet and into the game. This is the type of thing that people see, and just have to have a go at for themselves.

Doylestown Foodie Strikes Again - Slate Bleu - You've Got To Be Joking

By Bill Brady

With the economy crumbling before our eyes you'd think that business owners and entrepreneurs would catch the drift and bend over backwards to please clients so that they'd come back and evolve into regulars. Ok, don't bend over backwards but at least have the general pride to offer half decent service that is commensurate with your fee structure. If you're a high-end retailer or restaurant, it's ok, it's expected, be pretentious, at the end of the day you're the goofball waiting tables while the customers coming in with MBA's and PhD's are spending $200 per meal laugh at you behind your back (you probably never knew that but it's true) you can put on the fake facade of security by treating your guests as though they are one step beneath you but at least give them enough leeway or good service so that they come back.

Tonight I was at a Doylestown restaurant called 'Slate Blue'; a little French themed restaurant in the middle of Central Bucks County where people come to spend money. I walked into this establishment with a few friends on a Friday night at 7pm, prime time for the rest of the spots in town. We figured it was an off night as we were literally the only people in the eatery. Sitting down the blond bartender took our drink orders and handed us menus. The options read like a French, Italian and Mexican baked bean casserole hybrid experiment from the laboratory of a third grade play-chef. We laughed and then the waitress came to take our order. This is where the fun began. A French restaurant, ok, most of you are laughing as the French got a bad rap during the 'freedom fries' act by congressional halfwits but let's keep an open mind.

The waitress comes over with 'jail house' tattoos plastering the bottom of her forearms (what is that part of the arm called again?) and she reads off the specials of the day. Her tapped put junior high education dwarfed her ability to pronounce some of those hard to enunciate French/Spanish/Italian words. We were all a little embarrassed for her so we tried to make light of an otherwise awkward situation when she got to me I asked for a steak, medium rare. She looked at me as if I were speaking some Anunnaki/Martian dialect of Latin so jokingly I repeated in French, "Je voudrais un milieu steak saignant s'il vous plait." You would have thought that I took off my shirt and started pouring water over my head screaming 'bloody Mary'.

I am assuming that I through off her pretentious M.O. and she didn't know how to react. She just didn't get it. She grabbed the menu and, oh, it's a waste of time to try to explain. She walked away and she, the effeminate 20 something kid and blond bartender whispered about us behind our backs at the bar but loud enough so that we could hear what they were saying. Guys, I mean this was a moment in time that the word 'tacky' just can't describe how backwards and sad it was.

At the end of this five minute episode I asked my friends to go out to the car. I asked for the check so that I could pay them for their efforts, though we never got our food and we didn't eat a single morsel of their inventive French/Italian/Mexican cuisine.

The service was deplorable. The staff was rude. I paid for a meal we never got and left a nice tip for a waitress with a 7th grade education and enough arrogance for the entire town of Doylestown.

Slate Bleu, not exactly a place where those with a refined palette and service standard would dine. If you are a sadist with a need to be talked about behind your back, second grade service with a premium price tag, then 'x' marks the spot. You'll love this place. You could get the same attitude, substandard service and deplorable service from a West Philly McDonald's or Popeye's Chicken.

Minnesota Loses First Game of Season

By Ross Everett

Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings are undefeated no more. The Pittsburgh Steelers' used a couple of big plays from their defense in the fourth quarter to break open a close game and defeat the Vikings by a final score of 27-17. Favre put up decent yardage in the loss, throwing for 334 yards but had no touchdowns and an interception.

NFL pointspread players who backed the Steelers as -6 home favorites were rewarded with the cover. Pittsburgh had only covered one of their first six games heading into the contest, and the win improved their record against the number to 2-5. Minnesota dropped to 4-3 against the spread with the setback. The 44 points scored went UNDER the posted total of 46'.

The Steelers largely shut down Minnesota's rushing game, holding Adrian Peterson to 69 yards. Pittsburgh safety Ryan Clark underscored his team's dominance against the run:

"That's the biggest point of the game. You have the best running back in the world and you don't give it to him. They're saying they can't beat us running, and that's a major statement when you have the guy they have back there."

Favre gave a mealy mouthed justification for the loss in his postgame interview:

"There were a lot of what ifs, a lot of reasons we didn't win. The red zone was one of them. They're physical, and they were as good as we thought they'd be. ... When I came here and looked at our schedule and saw the Steelers game, I went, 'Oh-h-h.' "

Favre has only thrown three interceptions in a Vikings' uniform, but #3 was a costly one as it was returned by Steelers' Keyaron Fox for a touchdown to put the game out of reach as Minnesota was driving for a potential game tying field goal. Afterwards, Fox recalled the play:

"Brett tried to force it in there and the running back bobbled it and slipped out of his hands and it fell into my lap. I had just run across the field after Peterson and I was winded, so it felt like it was 100-plus yards."

The Vikings now face another big game next week as they head to Favre's old stomping grounds in Green Bay for a battle with the Packers. It'll be Favre's first appearance at his old home in an enemy uniform. The Vikings are a +3 road underdog with the total set at 48. The Vikings will then have a bye weekend before hosting the lowly Detroit Lions on November 15. Pittsburgh will enjoy a bye week this week before returning to action on Monday, November 9th facing the Denver Broncos on the road.

Be Certain Our Outdoor Playground Equipment Is Legal

By Alicia Schneider

Many people like to purchase an outdoor playground equipment set for their children. It is nice to have for them so that they can play in the backyard without becoming bored. It is also good to have because they are within boundaries of the yard and safer than if they were playing in the front yard. Parents can watch them play but don't have to be there with them every second which provides much fun for the kids and less stress for the parents.

Making sure that whatever you choose is up to code and safe for the children to use is the most important part. Researching the set that you find will help with deciding if it is the best for the kids. Looking online can provide the information you may need in order to make a good, sound judgement on what set you need.

There are many different companies that make playground sets. Checking out their websites and getting information on the kind of set you are looking for is a good start. Keep in mind the material the equipment is made from. Play sets are usually made from metal or aluminum or heavy duty plastic.

Keep in mind the age of the kids that will be using this to play on. If they are younger, you may want to look at the younger equipment that does not have sharp edges or high bars that could harm a child should they fall. Keep in mind also that heavy plastic is a good choice as it does not absorb as much heat. The slide alone could burn a child badly if it is left in the afternoon heat.

Perhaps looking at two different smaller sets if you have ages that vary among your children would be a good idea. Smaller children like to follow their older siblings and often get hurt because they simply can't handle it. They try copying what their brother or sister is doing, which can result in serious injury for them.

When contemplating buying a play set for your children, remember that it needs to be laid on something that will cushion the blow should the child fall. Many times people will do this by laying down wood chips. This is much softer on the body should one fall and will also help keep the area cooler.

Be aware of what kind of material the play sets are on when you take the kids to school. Keep an eye out for the kind of play sets they have. Schools are very good about making sure everything is age appropriate. Safety is the most important thing to consider and knowing that your children are as safe as they can be is very important.

Knowing what you are buying the safety features that it has will provide years of happy, safe kids. Be a good consumer and parent by knowing what you are purchasing. Know what kind of set is the best one for your children and which one is the safest. Your children should play safely for a long time if the outdoor playground equipment is strong, safe and durable.

By James Elliot

The thought of trying to learn an instrument can be quite intimidating for most people, but it doesn't have to be. Here are a few things you need to know prior to taking a start into the world of playing guitar.

The initial thing you have to know is the fact that it is going to demand time, labor, and disciplined practice. In some cases people could very well tell you that learning to play guitar is not hard. While some areas of it are not very difficult and there are many resources that can make learning guitar much easier than others, like anything, in order to realise the outcomes you want it is important to make a persistence for it, even if it is only to practice a quarter-hour every single day. This type of practice will be very fulfilling for you and will help you to notice a lot more development.

The other thing that is very important to take into account is the fact that teaching yourself to play guitar might not be the best choice. There are plenty of of resources and material on the web about playing guitar, but for some individuals, it can be hard to navigate this information. You can use Google and Youtube as a starting point to learn guitar, however, many questions which may come up are: Just where do I begin? What do I have to understand to be successful?

For this reason a number of people have a look at private guitar lessons. This allows you to get personal training from someone. Some people need to learn by doing this, and you will have to discover that by thinking through this yourself. Even so, when you are shelling out 20 dollars a lesson once weekly, this can add up really fast.

An alternate solution is online guitar lessons. You can find online guitar programs that are created particularly with a amateur guitar player in mind. These lessons give you a plan which you can follow. The price of these methods are around the same as a couple of private guitar lessons. Through doing this you're not blowing your time trying to dig through the unorganized clutter of free guitar lessons online. It's not to tell you that you shouldn't make the most of these free resources, but what these free resources don't offer you with is a course of action towards success.

A lot of people will say it's necessary to have a plan for your development as a beginner guitarist. Without having a plan on how to meet your desired goals, you'll never get there. You'll end up moving towards failure.

The final thing to know about teaching yourself to play guitar is that you don't have to shell out lots of money to begin with. See if you are able to borrow someone's guitar in the beginning. After giving it a shot for a month or two, then determine if you want to buy your own guitar.

On the whole, teaching yourself to play guitar does not have to be a difficult endeavor. It will require work and energy, but it is realistic if you take advantage of the right resources.
