July 2nd, 2009

Seven decades on, and the TV is still going great guns. Nowadays, it’s no longer a luxury or recreational household item anymore and practically every home has one. The modern edition of the TV set has also covered substantial engineering ground. HDTV and plasma displays are hardly recognizable from the CRTs of the pioneering era of Free PC TV.

The function of TV has also diversified. It has become a key telecommunication medium for everything from politics through sports, news and so forth to entertainment. There’s a whole lot more programming variety available too and viewers are also more selective in the way they watch TV.

Programming can be delivered by on-demand, pay-per-view, conventional broadcast or time-based subscription. Because of the hold that TV has on people in general, TV companies invariably get away with overcharging. There are also different platforms namely cable, satellite, antennae and more recently IPTV.

Given the advancement of the internet infrastructure and performance standards, IPTV looks poised to surpass the other technologies. What used to be a major obstacle in transmission speed is now a thing of the past with broadband internet coupled with the higher speed and power of accompanying electronic processors.

Out of the overall technology advancement, an ingenious kind of free TV on PC has been innovated. Unlike IPTV in general, this strain is actually internet in nature. The TV programming streams are mainly FTA broadcasts over the internet and accessed in the normal manner through PCs.

Why pay when you can watch free satellite TV on PC? If you have the time and know-how, you can definitely watch TV on Computer free. Otherwise, you can still turn to commercial membership service providers and access TV programming on the internet with their proprietary software which enables you to bypass all the fuss.

Millions are already watching Free TV On PC. It’s hard to disregard this form of TV with all its advantages such as PC convenience, thousands of channels, complete genres, no additional hardware or retrofit and so forth. There are many good providers but there are also many scams so research thoroughly before deciding on your pick.

Wireless Security Cameras

June 25th, 2009

Wireless cameras are an effective and inexpensive way to monitor the safety of your home or office. Installation is relatively easy to complete as a “do it yourself” project, and shouldn’t take more than a few hours to set up and configure. One in place, your wireless security camera will help you keep track of your children, monitor entrances and back yards.

Most wireless cameras emit a signal that performs at distances of up to 300 feet, possibly more. With such a wide range, the wireless camera can be moved around whatever space you choose without the hassle of having to reconfigure your equipment. Also thanks to the wireless capabilities, these cameras are more resistant to tampering than their hardwired counterparts.

There are, however, a few drawbacks to wireless cameras. Inherent to all wireless products is interference caused by other wireless devices and electrical equipment. Physical obstructions (such as walls) can also cause the wireless signal to relay a weaker signal, resulting in poor performance. It’s also important to remember that cordless phones can interfere with the camera’s wireless signal. One solution is to use a cordless phone that operates at 5ghz or higher rather than the 2.4ghz frequency that more wireless cameras use.

Powering your wireless security camera is simple. If you’re willing to change batteries or rechargeable battery packs for better mobility, then look for cameras with such features. Otherwise, there are models that plug into a wall outlet. For battery-powered cameras, some power-saving features such as motion sensors are available to lessen the battery consumption, allowing for maximum performance even in precarious camera locations.


Lego Harbor sentry review

June 24th, 2009

I am a die-hard fan of Lego. When I was young I always cry for Lego as my birthday, Christmas, Children’s Day and all kinds of holiday or anniversary’s gift. In school, we had a small Lego club. Almost every child would love to join and exchange Lego toy and learning experience. Lego is part of my life that bring full of joy and knowledge in childhood and even now.

As a father of two boys, we still love to play my Lego collection together. In fact, we spend many weekends and school holidays to assemble the little block by block while we learning relevant knowledge and sharing each other’s thoughts. Lego is not only helps my boys to spend time on healthy hobby, but also improves their general knowledge, learning interests and build close relationship with them.

Last year, we went to big Lego sales, my younger son found this little cute box from the bottom shelf in the shop. He loved it so much and even could not release it to let us pay for it. From that day, my little John always holds it whenever he goes. He just loves this small red boat attached with cannon and Imperial Soldiers witch gives him full of adventure imagination.

This Imperial Soldier set actually looks pretty cool which is very easily to get your attention. In fact, it is a small set that only contains 24 elements and 1 figure. In another word, this set is extremely simple only takes few minutes to put together.

You can get a figure of the original ‘bluecoat’ Imperial Soldier, a boat and a black pinned thump cannons. The little soldier is similar to the lieutenant that comes with most of the sets, but he has a bicorne hat instead of a tricorne. The cannon do works but not very well could spring out cannon ball in every time. There are 2 oars to row the boat, plus a pistol and cutlass for the soldier to defend himself. Nevertheless, there are also 6 black cannon balls standby. You will love this very cute boat once you finish it. The best to do is to get 3 to 4 sets of Harbor Sentry, then you can have a nice little patrol for your forts.

Both I and my two young boys love this smart boat set very much. It is super set for your Lego collection as well as to children. I highly recommended the Harbor Sentry set to any Lego fans and collectors.


Jon And Kate File For Divorce

June 24th, 2009

Will it be Jon minus nine tonight on TLC? Rumors have been swirling around the couple for quite a while thanks to tabloid chatter surrounding Jon Gosslin’s alleged infidelity with a college co-ed and Kate’s questionable relationship with her bodguard, Steve Neild.

Barely household names when their show premiered five seasons ago, the tempestuous couple have been tabloid fixtures citing scandalous headlines fit for celebrities of a much more “bad-boy” ilk. Fielding allegations from cheating to child abuse, it really comes as no surprise that Jon and Kate are done-zo after 10 years of marriage.

We here at PB&J HQ aren’t exactly TLC’s prime demographic, but even just a tacit knowledge of the couple leads to scathing presumptions of the couple, most notable Kate. She appears to be well, a stone cold bitch, snapping at her brood of eight while Jon stands there aloof and slack-jawed, increasingly disinterested in his live in the TLC spotlight.

According to People Magazine, the couple filed for divorce today in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Further speculation puts Jon in bachelor-friendly New York City while Kate stays in bucolic Bucks County with the kids who range in age from five to nearly nine years old. Must be nice knowing one of the most traumatic moments in a child’s life will be broadcast for the world to see and live on the internet for well, ever.

Carrie Prejean Fired

June 10th, 2009

Carrie Prejean, who was crowned as Miss California less than two months ago, loses her crown today for continued issues with contract violations. Ms. Prejean originally came under fire for her insensitivity and her harsh views on Gay marriage that she expressed during the California pageant. She continued to be scrutinized at a later date for some racy photos that came to light that many people considered being a direct violation of her contract. Luckily for her, Donald Trump came to her rescue and allowed her to keep her crown and actually gave her praise for her “honesty” and deemed that the pictures were “OK”.

Brad Pitt buys Neo Rauch “Etappe” painting

June 10th, 2009

Offered by the David Zwirner Gallery in New York, the piece was shown as one of Rauch’s best, advertised as employing an “enigmatic and dreamlike” scene of a race car in the service “pit” mid-race. The piece was listed at a staggering price of $680,000 euro or $960,000.

In a market where pricey modern art sales have taken a serious dive, Pitt certainly turned heads with his acquisition. He and partner Angelina Jolie are known for their love of modern artists such as the controversial Banksy of the UK, making the addition of the Rauch painting is no surprise.

Rauch is among Europe’s top artists with his daring combination of Eastern Bloc realism with Western abstraction. The purchase of the Ettape paining by celebrity Pitt will certainly raise the artist’s profile even higher.

This is the 40th anniversary of Art Basel in Switzerland, featuring works from over 2,500 artists.

Story : Kasol village

June 7th, 2009

A stunning village amidst the mountains was what Kasol had to boast about, attracting tourists from all over the world. To our luck we got one of the best rooms at ‘The Alpine Guest House’. Its pleasant pine wood floors and a gorgeous balcony were just perfect, overlooking the Parvati valley that nestled among the mighty snow peaks.

Eating out in Kasol wasn’t a problem at all; the locals were used to the pour-in of tourists, mostly backpackers. Kasol is a village that is or has become more of a hippie hangout. Dozens would stop here and some even stayed back on as we got to know from Richard, a German man, who surprised us with his fluency in Sanskrit.

The best eating out place in Kasol would have to be Little Italy, a place where their multi – cuisine menu attracted most tourists. In Kasol you could gorge on Italian cuisine, Chinese or Israeli, surrounded by snow-clad mountains. An exciting place to head out to is the German Bakery that has a wide variety of pancakes, and pies, a must try is their apple – pie.

The next morning after a hearty breakfast of Aloo Parthas (potato on a flattened base) and lassi (sweet curd) we were on our way to pay respects to the Shiva Temple and the Gurudawara (Sikh Temple) in Manikaran. This well-known pilgrimage center, a 30 min drive from Kasol was captivating with its famous hot springs.

The Best Of Amazon Kindle 2

May 27th, 2009

Electronic book readers are nothing new. Over the past decades, many have actually tried but failed, until Amazon that is. Ever since the Kindle Amazon Kindle, it’s actually groovy again to be reading. By and large, it is in vogue especially among the executive and academic ranks. Everyone would want one, for whatever reasons; work needs, status symbol, lifestyle and what not….. Whether you’re pro or against it, it captures your attention!

With the launch of Kindle 2 Amazon has integrated the entire business of e-reading. The eBook reader is not only filled with smart features, it’s also connected and mobile just like the cellular phone. It is essentially a cellular eBook reader in that it has wireless coverage anywhere in the US for Amazon bookstores plus browsing text-centric websites like Wikipedia, Google and others.

The original Amazon Kindle wasn’t much of a looker but you can’t say that about the new Kindle. Looking stylish and a lot more approachable than its predecessor, the Kindle 2 is also an ergonomics masterpiece. Whether it’s by chance or choice, the appearance is very Apple-like (iPod) and that’s a plus with many folks. But looks aside, it’s a functional gem in its own right.

Although the Kindle is likely to attract quite a bit of attention, that’s not the intention of the design upon the reader. The objective was in fact to get the reader ‘lost in your reading, not the technology’. It has so gallantly replicated the feature of a good physical book to disappear while you’re reading it but can’t put it down except it’s now can’t put the Kindle down.

The most distinctive feature of the Amazon eBook Reader is the Whispernet. This is a wireless service for acquiring content and some degree of internet access. It also carries the Whispersync feature which links other Kindles and its associated devices such as the iPhones and iPods plus others in the future. When you purchase the Kindle 2, Amazon will pay for the lifetime connectivity of the particular e-reader. The network is 3G-based so it doesn’t have to be in a hotspot to operate.

Yes, the Amazon Kindle 2 is but a book. And what a book! It’s any book you wish, out of 275,000 and you can carry more than a thousand of them everywhere you go and access the rest in less than 60 seconds. Amazon has publicly stated its goal of availing any book that’s ever printed in electronic form for the Kindle within the US. That’s a tall order but based on their track record, you don’t want to bet against it.

How to Catch the Eyes of California Location Scouts

How to Catch the Eyes of California Location Scouts

Everyone wishes they could work in the movies, but only a select handful of talented people ever really get the chance. But, you may be surprised to learn of a quicker, and perhaps easier, way of getting into the movie-making industry.

I’m talking about registering your home or property to be considered as a film location.

Of course, while it may be easier than landing a walk-on role, there are certain things you need to consider before seeing your home on the big screen. First, you have to catch the eyes of California location scouts.

What California Location Scouts are Looking For

When searching for the ideal setting for a film, television program or commercial, most California location scouts have certain things they are looking for. Some of these considerations include:

• Sizable interiors to fit the cast and crew comfortably
• Suitable power supplies to handle the demands of the filming equipment
• Ample parking to handle the crew’s trucks
• Flexible homeowners and understanding neighbors
• Acceptable lighting situations throughout the course of the day
• Acceptable price range for the project’s budget

Improve Your Chances With California Location Scouts

Most California location scouts have a range of resources they use to find the ideal filming location. But, one of the most popular is online location databases. These directories make it easier than ever for scouts to customize their searches so they can instantly view suitable matches for the criteria they enter.

By registering your home or business with an online location database service, you are placing it in the direct line of view of some of the industry’s best location scouts.

Your best course of action is to talk with your neighbors to see if any of them will have any reservations about welcoming a film crew in your neighborhood. Then, determine if your property meets or exceeds the criteria listed above. If you believe that it does, then visit an online database service like FiveStarFilmLocations.com and register your property as a possible film location. A professional photographer will schedule an appointment to take a number of shots designed to showcase your property’s potential.

Once a California location scout notices your property matches their director’s vision, you’ll be notified by the studios and paid handsomely for the use of your home or business.


Let Your House Make Money as a Film Location

May 24th, 2009

Let Your House Make Money as a Film Location

Every director will tell you, the right film location can make or break a project. Besides the leading actors and the quality of the script, it’s the setting that ultimately creates the world we escape to when we’re sitting in the movie theater. Think about it. Remember the tree-lined sidewalk and the classic contemporary home used in the horror masterpiece, Halloween? How about the climax of Scarface, when Al Pacino takes on the Feds from his balcony? Or, how can you forget the retro-style of one of television’s most famous homes used in The Brady Bunch? It’s California film locations like these that add believability and authenticity to the fantastic worlds we love to watch.

Believe it or not, Hollywood doesn’t build a set for every movie or television program that comes along. In fact, many of the California film locations used in your favorite TV shows and movies are real-life homes and businesses. People actually own these properties. And by renting them out for Hollywood film projects, they can generate an impressive income.

Los Angeles Film Locations are in High Demand

These days, with the price of construction materials and other building considerations, it’s much more cost-effective for studios to simply rent out a home or building rather than create an entire set. This is especially the case with independent films. As a homeowner, you can use this to your advantage and allow your home to be used as a movie backdrop. Scouts are constantly on the lookout for unique California film locations, and if yours is chosen, you could receive a handsome income for the right to use your property.

How to Have Your Home Considered as a Los Angeles Film Location

If you want to maximize the income potential of your property by making it available to Hollywood, you need to get the home in front of the scouts who are searching for California film locations. The easiest way to do this is to submit your property to a location agency that specializes in providing a searchable directory of properties for Hollywood location scouts.

Looking to Combat Economic Woes? List Your Home as a Film Location!

May 22nd, 2009

Looking to Combat Economic Woes? List Your Home as a Film Location!

While the housing market may provide more scares and shivers these days than the weekly horror movie offering, there’s no reason why your home can’t be making, rather than costing, you a small fortune. The answer? List your home as a California film location.

How Can I List My Home as a California Film Location?

The big studios employ personnel whose only job is to search for and find the perfect California film locations. These individuals are called location scouts, and they have an excellent idea of what kind of backdrop the director is looking for. To make their job easier and more time-efficient, many of these scouts utilize the services of professional location agencies.

Location agencies keep a directory of properties that are available for use as Hollywood production rentals. For the maximum exposure and the best opportunity, homeowners should first list their property with a reputable location agency. Similar to a traditional real estate agency, a location agency only serves those property owners looking to rent their property to Hollywood and the scouts looking for the ideal setting.

How Much Money can I Make by Listing my Home as a California Film Location?

Imagine - you could receive between $500 and $10,000 a day for renting your home for use in a Hollywood production. Ultimately, the amount you can receive is dependant upon a variety of factors, including the studio doing the filming and how long they will be needing the space, but the truth is, there is a substantial amount of money available to homeowners who offer their house or property as a California film location.

Another bonus is the fact that film notoriety can benefit homeowners if and when it comes time to sell their property. At a time when real estate markets are down, owning a little piece of Hollywood lore can impact how much potential buyers are willing to spend on a property.

In its early years, television relied on sports to grow. TV manufacturers broadcast sports programs to boost viewer ship so that they could sell more sets. Things have changed and today, we make additional payment over subscription fees in order to watch Live TV Sports On Computer. We should not. Satellite and cable companies have the habit of imposing pay-per-view on popular sports events, be it boxing, football, tennis or other sports. Computer makers should pull the same trick like TV before and telecast those sports programs free so there’s win-win once again. We can then write off those cable and satellite TV providers.

Actually, something to that effect has already long been done. It’s Free To Air Internet TV, where satellite TV is streamed directly to our computers over the internet. FTA internet TV is not brought forth by the computer manufacturers though and operates on the aged-old basis of advertisement and sponsorship support and subsidy. Most of these broadcasters, if not all, have their own targeted agenda. Whatever that may be, we get our sports free in return for watching their bundle, similarly an aged-old and fair deal.

There’s another type of internet TV providers. They charge a fee for their service although the majority of what they stream is FTA sourced. Their value-add is in assembling ready-made internet TV through their specialized and proprietary software and facilitate them to their subscribers which would otherwise be time-consuming and onerous for the individual viewers to go it themselves. Thousands of channels from all over the world comprising across the board genres and not just sports are standard features. While a fee is involved, it’s one-time for a lifetime.

Another thing about sports on computer is its mobility. With WiFi internet zones getting commonplace nowadays, you can watch that big game live in trains, coffee houses, restaurants or wherever while on travel, at work or whatever you’re engaged in. Being on internet infrastructure, it is also much more solid in terms of bad weather immunity and coverage.

Although the world is flat now as coined by author-journalist Thomas Friedman, time zones will never be. Game time Free Live Sports at playing venue may be office, school or bedtime for the viewer so the computer, especially if it’s a laptop, will go more handily to where the conventional TV set would find too bothersome or conspicuous to.

Kindle 2 Portable eBook Reader

May 5th, 2009

In the past decade or so, there had been many failed attempts at making our reading become smoother and faster. That’s until online book retailer Amazon came along and again made the difference in enhancing the reading experience, with a reading device called the Kindle Electronic Book Reader. In deft fashion, its extraordinary features for reading are complemented by its novel way of acquiring the very content.

The Amazon Kindle is a user-friendly and portable reader. It has the capability of downloading blogs, books, newspapers, and magazines. Traditionally, heavy-duty reading meant turning thick pages of paper but nowadays, electronic reading is very different. It is not only mobile but it can also carry your entire library of books and is connected constantly to your bookshop through wireless network.

Unlike other funky devices, the Kindle does not require a personal computer to download its media. Furthermore, syncing is smart and automatic. This electronic book reader is equipped with internet capability through 3G technology on which the Amazon Whispernet service is rendered. This feature comes with the purchase of the reader so users don’t have to concern themselves with the wireless service plan, contract, or bills thereafter.

The Amazon Whispernet wireless service is a one-of-a-kind delivery system which enables users to obtain any e-book on its library within a minute. This facility is currently not available outside the US but those who have had a taste of the electronic book reader would know that it’s a matter of time that it becomes so. US users can download and sample the beginning pages of books for free before deciding whether to purchase the book or not.

Appearance-wise, this portable reader is as impressive as its capabilities. The crisp black-and-white screen could easily be mistaken for some fine-grade printed paper. The high-tech virtual ink is designed to be just like real ink-on-paper in terms of appearance and readability so much so that there is no backlighting either. Therefore, it would not be difficult to read in bright sunlight and the screen never heats up so you don’t have to limit how long you should be reading on that account.

Furthermore, Whispernet makes use of Amazon’s optimized technology plus Sprint’s national high-speed (EVDO) data network for people to wirelessly search and download content, browse the internet and synch different devices from anywhere anytime. If you think the maiden Kindle Portable eBook Reader rocks, you simply have to check out the hugely improved Kindle 2.

March 24th, 2009

Baseball great and hall of famer George Kell passed away today at the age of 86. The Detroit Tigers third baseman was a 10-time all-star and had a .300 plus career batting average. Kell also won the 1949 batting crown, beating out fellow hall of famer Ted Williams.

After his retirement, Kell became the voice of the Tigers and went on to broadcast for the next 40 years. An interesting fact about Kell is that he lived in the same house he was born in for all his life. After burning down in 2001, he had it rebuilt on the same land.

No cause of death has been cited yet, however representatives of the Kell family reported he died peacefully in his sleep. After a 2004 car accident left him badly injured, Kell was able to recover and walk again in the following years. No connection of the accident has been made to his passing.

USS Hartford & USS New Orleans Collide in the Straight of Hormuz

March 20th, 2009

At around 1 a.m. local time (5 p.m. EDT), the USS Hartford - a nuclear powered submarine - and the USS New Orleans - an amphibious ship - collided into each on their way in to port. The collision resulted in minor injuries of 15 USS Hartford sailors and a ruptured fuel tank from the New Orleans which resulted in the loss of 25,000 gallons of diesel fuel into the ocean’s waters. Fortunately no damage was done to the submarine’s nuclear propulsion system. Both ships are operating under their own power, but have since returned to port to examine damage and for further investigation.

This is not the first US Navy collision in the Straight of Hormuz and likely won’t be the last. Located between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula, the Straight is a narrow but important waterway as it is the most heavily traveled route for oil tankers in the world.

Close call if you ask me. Loss of fuel in the ocean is never good of course, but a much better result than a ruptured nuclear sub. You have to imagine someone messed up pretty bad. No reason for two US Navy vessels crashing into each other, especially when one was a nuclear submarine. Still, glad to report no serious damage occurred.

Watch 2009 NCAA Basketball Tournament Online

March 19th, 2009

As everyone knows March Madness starts today. However, what’s not as clear are what options the regular NCAA fan (i.e. you) has for watching games and game coverage. There’s the TV, sure, but that’s only going to get you access to regional games. This was fine once upon a time, but it is 2009 now and if you’re a sports fan like me, you need more than simply access to regional games. You need access to ALL the games – along with play by play analysis, updated statistics, and every other sort of NCAA piece of data someone can throw your way.

There are no results for NCAA Scores.

Still, this is new technology and sometimes hard to find. So we here at Manolith have done the hard work for you so that you can sit back, relax, and enjoy March Madness like you’ve always wanted – with full access.

I’ll start with the big one: CBS Sports TV’s live streaming coverage. This gives you everything – Live coverage of every game (including in HD), updated stats, schedules, scoreboards, previews, and much more. Hell, it even comes with a nifty “Boss Button” which turns the game into a serious looking work-ready spreadsheet any time you hear footsteps around the corner.

Next up: The iPhone’s CBS Sports NCAA March Madness On Demand application ($4.99 from iTunes). For those of you with iPhones, this application gives you the ability to watch streaming coverage of every game as well as updated stats and scoreboards all from the comfort of your phone. The only drawback? You need a Wi-Fi connection for video coverage. Still, it’s not all bad, as streaming audio coverage is accessible without Wi-Fi giving you instant audio access wherever you are.


Ryan Adams Marries Mandy Friggin Moore

March 17th, 2009

Everyone’s favorite neurotic blogger / tortured artist / nice guy / singer songwriter / ex Whiskeytown front man married actress / singer / Neutrogena spokeswoman /ex-tween pop star Mandy Moore. Between them they share seven slashes in their career descriptions. SEVEN.

Not only that, but they married this past Tuesday in a secret and intimate ceremony in Savannah, GA.

They started dating in 2007 and have had a turbulent and on and off relationship. After DJ AM got in that plane crash they were seen together as Ryan was having a weird “GET AWAY FROM MEEEEEE” period (he quit Tumblr! I KNOW!), but that soon fizzled out.

There are no results for ryan adams.

I love writing these gossipy articles. It’s so Danny DeVito in LA Confidential. “Very Hush Hush”. Oh man. These things are a blast to write.

Anyway, since reclaiming his sanity, Ryan has sworn off drinking and drugs and is concentrating on working at Blackbook Magazine, his music, and his personal writing. He has a book coming out and has designed two Penguin Classic book covers.

Mandy is, well, doing Mandy things like movies and singing but my editor told me that our readership wasn’t exactly going to go out and buy the next Mandy Moore album. Sorry, Mandy. Maybe y’all should do an album together. That’d be amazing.


Arrest Warrant Out For Lindsay Lohan

March 17th, 2009

Everyones favorite hot actress trainwreck now has an arrest out in her name. Start the drumroll. Dun dun DUHHHHH!!!! The warrant stems from a 2007 arrest for DUI - and also a hit and run.

She was arrested last July after infamously chasing her former personal assistant through Santa Monica in her SUV and police found cocaine in her pants which she said “were not her pants”. That may or may not go in the history books as the best alibi ever. So to round it out:

There are no results for lindsay lohan.

* Two separate misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence of cocaine.
* No contest on two counts of driving under the influence of alcohol with a blood-alcohol level above 0.08 percent.
* One count reckless driving.
