Janet launched her new website: JanetJackson.com. The special about her website is that the fans can participate in the contest in creating their own video adaptation of Janet Jackson Feedback video that would go through Janet’s YouTube channel: “Destination Discipline”. You may enter the competion because if your video is in the ten most viewed videos, you are for a treat of a brand new iPod with Janet Jackson’s videos and music.

So, the single “Feedback” is here and the rest of the album “Discipline” is due this month.

Here is what Janet says about her new album “Discipline”:

“I love the dance. I love the mid tempo stuff. I love slow songs and the baby making songs. I still has the element to it. (…) You don’t know how many people come up to me and say – ‘This child was conceived listening to you’”.

Dorothy and her cute doggy Toto do not try to find way home from behind the rainbow any more after an English rock band Pink Floyd gave their own version of Pink Floyd Wizard of Oz, Dark Side of the Rainbow.

Wait! Wizard of Oz, an MGM movie, was made 1939 – according to my son, in the ancient times. To be truth, Pink Floyd’s 1973 album, The Dark Side of the Moon, lies for him in the same ancient times.

Now, on the more serious note: Dark Side of the Rainbow aka Dark Side of Oz aka The Wizard of Floyd, is some sort of synchronization between classic MGM movie and Pink Floyd album. One watches the film and listens to music at the same time. Many believe that the movie and the music somehow correspond with each other.

When Apple introduced iPod to the public in October 2001, people aren’t aware that they are actually purchasing an engaging electronic gadget that could change their lives forever. The music industry took a hundred and eighty degrees turn when mp3 players began making high sales. The results? iPod became a household name, a gadget that promotes t
he need for interactive media and an accessory that’s considered a must-have.

Why do people love iPod? Its portability, convenience, manageability, sleek-design and innovative technology offers Apple iPod user an all-in-one package. It’s a mobile handy gadget for music lovers, thus, a state-of-the-art for youths especially. We love downloading songs and videos on our iPods although we must be aware of the consequences of  free downloading iPod music.

In the past, locating the right kind of free music download sites used to be accomplished with great difficulty. Up until fairly recently there were only two kinds of music download sites – free music download sites (the good ones) and fee-based music download sites (the legal ones). The major record companies have long contended that free music download sites have been cutting into their record sales, therefore, they have fought long and hard to keep you from attaining free music downloads online. As a matter of fact, they have attempted to get any unlimited free music downloads site shut down (without much success) anytime they find one of their artists on that music download site. Understandably, they are trying to protect their business interests, by preventing unlimited free music downloads which can cut into their profits.

If you are a true music lover then you love all types of music. You love it while cruising in your car on warm summer nights, or for relaxing background music, when all you want to do is chill for a bit, or for shaking your booty at your favorite slammin’ night club. There are countless types of music from across the globe, but for many years, Pop music has been the world’s most popular form of music. An off-shoot of Rock n’ Roll, Pop music not only sells the most records and albums but Pop music also makes up most of what we listen to on our radio’s by far. Free Pop music downloads as well as fee based Pop music downloads make up the majority of all music downloads on the Internet.

A book from a retired writer for the Des Moines Register has the title “Iowa is the most fun you can have in the US” and chronicles the many Iowa vacations that the author has taken over the years. Throughout his lifetime he has never been out of the state and every year he went to a different place for his vacation. The vacations changed over the years, starting with just he and his wife, then adding kids one by one, then subtracting the kids one by one, sometimes adding a kid and a kid-in-law, and finally ending with his last vacation alone after the death of his beloved wife. The book is very well written with lots of humor and lots of kid stories such as the camping trip when the kids brought a kitty into the tent. The kitty was all black with a white stripe down the middle of it’s back. The story is told from the perspective of being alone on the last vacation and taking that vacation to look back at all the good time he and his family enjoyed. Although the ending is a bit sad I say it is recommend reading as you will laugh till you cry at most of the adventures.

I received emails from both Nicole of the baking sheet and debbie of words to eat by this past week, “tagging” me for the food blogging meme, music to cook to. My first thought was “I don’t listen to a great deal of music…and I don’t know anything about music anymore”, and I passed the task along to S. and his extensive music tastes and knowledge. He diligently answered the questions and then sent his writing along to me.
I sat on that email for a few days, indulging myself in Sugar High Fridays (great job, Clement!) and making dinner for a good friend on Saturday night (recipes to come later). I thought about it more and more and realized that the questions, though slightly foreign to me (why, I don’t know, I did used to work in a record store for crying out loud!), were directed at the food blogger in the house. And, although I have tried to convince S. to start a food blog himself he has yet to do that…and having him answer the questions for me was taking the easy way out.
So I redid them myself. Try not to be disappointed.

Broadcasting digital radio via satellite is not something new and concepts of doings this have been with us for a few years. From the early days of satellite radio, companies like Dish Network have offered digital audio channels as part of their programs. The breakthrough in popularity of satellite radio, however, happened just recently, when the technology became more permissive. Satellite radio was very rare on moving locations, such as boats or cars, mostly because there was the need for some expensive equipment – a tracking dish. This was a strong deterrent which kept satellite radio quite unknown by the general public. Today, however, one can receive digital audio satellite broadcasts by using a small, GPS-like antenna. This greatly increased the feasibility of the satellite radio systems and more and more vehicle owners began considering satellite radios as a good source of music and news.

A well known author is just finishing up the final pages of a book on central Iowa tourism that he has been working on for two years now. He did all the research on the book himself by finding every attraction and restaurant in the central Iowa area and visiting them himself or with his family. He is an avid camper so he would find a local campground and not only would he write about that he would use that campground as a central point to visit all the attractions in the area. He used the information supplied by the campground workers to find the hidden treasures of that particular area. He ate no meals at the campsite as he was also reviewing the restaurants in the area. One thing that surprised him was the number of museums that were scattered around the state. It felt like there was some kind of a museum in every other small town and the things they were dedicated to were quite varied. Some of them were dedicated to such things as salt and pepper shakers or old telephones. Most were just dedicated to the past of the community but those were quite interesting as well.

I picked up a good book the other day and I really enjoyed reading about what was essentially east Iowa tourism. The story was about a couple who put their boat in the Mississippi river at the Minnesota border and planned to live in the boat for the entire summer. As they floated down the river they stopped at different restaurants and attractions each of which they rated. From what I understand from the book people all along the river like to place their top of the line restaurants where their patrons can have a view of the mighty Mississippi. Many of the places they stopped actually had a dock where people could tie their boats and either go inside or some would actually bring the food and drink out to the boat. During the sleep hours they seemed to have no problem finding a desolate area along the bank and tie up the boat for the night. It took them almost three months to make the trip as some places like the Quad Cities had so much to offer that they spent an entire week there. Other places they would just float through only leaving the boat long enough to grab a bite to eat

The local PBS station wanted to do a special on Missouri so they loaded up the van and headed towards the state. On the first rest stop once they crossed the border they picked up a Missouri tourist guide and started looking at the attractions. They decided a trip to Branson might be just the thing as it was reasonably long drive and they could film quite a bit of the countryside and show how it changes from north to south. They started filming once they got to Kansas City showcasing the parts of big city seen as one drives along 435. When they exited on the south side they carefully documented how the city flows to the suburbs and how the suburbs flow into the country. Starting out was mostly prairie which slowly changed to more forest. The small towns were chronicled also. The further they went the more trees and hills there were and the views became more spectacular. They actually bypassed Branson showing the changing scenery as they drove up into the Ozark mountains. After having all that footage they returned to Branson and highlighted some of the shows and events there. Rather than a documentary I think they actually filmed a commercial for Missouri.

I found a wonderful book for entertainment in South Dakota. Now I’ve never taken any South Dakota vacations but after reading this book I just may have to try one. The book chronicled a jazz musician who was down on his luck and got stranded in Sioux Falls. He had no one to rely on so he had to find employment in the entertainment industry around the city to earn enough to buy a car so he could make it back home. The book talks about all the establishments he went to on his quest. The story was fictional, but the author did his homework and actually visited every entertainment venue he could find in the city. Jazz is not big in Sioux Falls so he only found two places where he could find jazz musicians on a regular basis. He interviewed all of them that he could get to talk and came up with some wonderful behind the scene stories. He also did a wonderful job describing the art that these musicians share with the world. The joints may be seedy, but the booze flows and the crowd enjoys what is described as “some of the best jazz this side of New Orleans.

Modern kitchens can range from anything under the sun that the person considers to encompass all that is new in this world, to something which looks like it should ideally belong in a space shuttle. What you choose to put in your kitchen depends entirely on your discretion and your tastes.

There’s much to be said for modern kitchens and much to be avoided if your first love of interior design is more along the lines of wood and brass, with old-fashioned fittings and applicable furnishings.

To that end modern kitchens can be very nice if only you give them a try. There are quite a few aspects of the modern kitchens design which is handy and something that looks like it will last the time and effort of the modern interior design revolution.
