What Do You Know About Mariah Carey?

Friday, June 30th, 2006

She is Mariah Carey, and she appears undaunted in all of the photos. In fact, she appears happy, friendly, and accessible as a person…regardless of how the shots will turn out to be poking fun at her weight, her sweater riding up to show skin, her breasts, or her skin tones. Mariah Carey is savvy, and well aware that these photos and their accompanying text are used to sell photos, boots, diet pills (later in the issue), and issues of the magazines in which she is featured…

Is HDTV All It Is (TV) Set Out To Be?

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

Is HDTV really that revolutionary or is the new technology just a glorified HDTV PC monitor?

The idea was to give television broadcasters additional channel space to broadcast in both analog and digital. The old channels would then become obsolete. To make this work, all televisions would have to convert to digital. All televisions made since 1946 would suddenly become obsolete unless a converter was purchased and installed.

Now, as the switchover date approaches, many companies are giving consumers more choices in HDTV. When high definition first arrived on the market, the televisions were usually very large and very expensive. Smaller and less expensive high definition sets are becoming more available to consumers.

What Is The Difference Between HDTV Ready And HDTV Capable?

Wednesday, June 28th, 2006

Movie enthusiasts need to grasp the difference between HDTV Ready vs HDTV Capable.

High definition televisions are popular because they offer a brighter, clearer picture resolution and work well with a surround sound audio system. Movie buffs love HDTV because it offers the whole picture on the screen instead of cutting off part of the picture at the top or bottom.

One thing to consider when purchasing a new HDTV set is to think about the differences between a television marked HDTV-capable and HDTV-ready. HD-ready sets have the HDTV receiver and/or decoder built-in. More explanations of HDTV definitions.

Are Science Fiction Books Spaced Out?

Dave loves Fiction and Non-fiction at the Writing - Golden Bookstore Guide

I guess what I liked so much about these science fiction books was their epic scope. There are books of what is called speculative fiction, a type of science fiction that attempts to look into the future of society, that I do like a lot, but the space opera is always better.

I just hope they are not all Spaced Out…

Book Agents - Are They A Myth?

Tuesday, June 27th, 2006

Dave loves Fiction and Non-fiction at the Writing - Golden Bookstore Guide

The first step in finding an agent to represent your work is to research their area of specialty.

Not all agents focus on works of fiction some are only interested in technical books, while others enjoy pursuing works of poetry.

Once you’ve narrowed the field down, you now have to find an agent who has your best interest at heart.

Dave loves Fiction and Non-fiction at the Writing - Golden Bookstore Guide

The majority of well-known and reputable fiction agents will not review unsolicited submissions by a previously unpublished novelist.

Interestingly, most publishers will not review an unsolicited submission from a writer without an agent?

This means that writers hoping to sell their first book must look for fiction agents who will consider material from a first timer. But is all this a myth?

Taking My First Banjo Lesson

An article about My First Banjo Lesson

My first banjo lesson didn’t go so well, actually it was a nightmare. Well, I suppose it wasn’t technically my first banjo lesson. Actually, I had been taking online banjo lessons for a good while, and honestly thought that I knew what I was doing. I found a website with videos of some dude plucking and strumming which you could be downloaded, and tabs which you could pick along to to your lttle hearts content. I had my first banjo lesson online months ago, and although I was a bit of a slacker about the whole thing, mailing it in by only learning those songs and techniques that interested me, and blowing off the rest, still, I thought that I had started to get somewhere.

Tips For Beginner Guitar Lessons

Monday, June 26th, 2006

An article about Beginner Guitar Lessons

No matter if you choose to start your beginner guitar lessons on the computer or with the traditional educational material, you start out with the raw basics about guitars and accessories, like picks and tuners, strings, bridges, etc. Students are taught how to correctly hold a guitar and pick, and how to tune it so that it sounds good! Sure this may sound really simple, but there are people who feel really awkward at first, and are helped a great deal from a few pointers. Another great bonus to taking beginner guitar lessons in the comfort of your own home, is that the embarrassment factor is almost completely eliminated! Lessons are usually rather easy to understand and are available to you to play over and over until you have mastered that level.

Grab Those Bon Jovi Concert Tickets

An article about Bon Jovi Concert Tickets

Yeah, I know what you are thinking.   I should have started looking for Bon Jovi concert tickets before the last minute. Don’t think that normally I wouldn’t, but I had the unpleasant situation of fighting a custody battle over my kid and the repossession of my house and all my belongings, things have been a little busy to say the least. Anyway, I have dozens of connections here in my home city. I know roadies, managers and staff in every venue in this area, practically.  Now with that said you would think that with all that I’d be able to score some lousy Bon Jovi concert tickets, even if I had to settle for nosebleeds. But no way, no how. Ouch, that hurts.

An article about Classical Musicians

Believe it or not, it is surprisingly easy to find classical musicians. It seems like it must be a tough life for all of these incredibly talented individuals. They train their entire lives to pursue an art, and they have a lots of competition for relatively few jobs. Lets face it, brilliant classical musicians are about as hard to find as quality rock and roll bands. Although a great deal of these musicians make some money playing in concert halls as part of symphonies, most have to go out and find other means of support.

Prince was so enamored with Tara’s look that he signed her up with his record label, Paisley Park Records, and talked her into renaming herself Carmen Electra.

The Magic Of The Movies

Sunday, June 25th, 2006
I just love movies and I love DVD. For some reason I can’t get enough of film. Now, it’s not because I minored in Film in college, or because I enjoy writing screenplays, but because movies just offer great down time. You relax. You know, that couple of hours when you can just kick back and let the actors do all the work. They take you into a different world. This is probably the most popular form of escapism known to man. We all want to live vicariously through some action star or heroine. It grants us a unique satisfaction and relief that’s hard to achieve in our everyday lives. Have you seen any good flicks lately?

Tips On Selecting Wedding Ceremony Musicians

Thursday, June 22nd, 2006

selecting wedding ceremony musicians at thesatelites.comThe fun really starts when you are Selecting Wedding Ceremony Musicians

Inquire as to whether they may be performing somewhere where you can hear and meet them in person.

If it is a high quality ensemble which has captured your interest and their fee is a bit of a stretch for your budget, ask them of they are offering any current discounts or promotions. If they are not, you may consider reserving 1 or 2 musicians less than you had planned to have originally. If they are experienced and you like their sound this will be well worthwhile!

Try to get a feeling or “vibe” from their representative as to how they will treat you and all of your questions and concerns. Your impression of someone’s willingness to work with you is a very important factor. If you prefer to meet with all of your wedding vendors, be sure to ask if this is possible before the wedding.
