Entrepreneurial Adventures Of Jay Kubassek

By Pablo Melem

He was a lead driver in the 2008 Baja 1000 off-road race - one of the most dangerous races in the world of racing. And, in December of '08, his team won the silver medal in the World Elephant Polo Association championships in southern Nepal.

The DVR is Great

By Pam Rosemont

I can remember the day when I first discovered it. The DVR would changed the way we watched TV, they said. I had a hard time buying into the hype, but I still loved the concept. After reading more reviews, it seemed like this device really did deliver on its promises, storing television shows digitally for later viewing.

I loved the idea of something like this. I always found myself short on tapes, and hated to erase things I'd previously recorded. I would also have a hard time finding certain shows within the tapes, as fast forwarding and rewinding was always a hassle. The advent of the DVR would solve both of these problems.

Suddenly, I wouldn't have to worry about sticking a VHS tape into my VCR any time I wasn't around. And even better, I wouldn't have to worry about buying more tapes. The picture quality would be better (digital), and I'd even be able to skip through commercials. Skipping through commercials may have lost its novelty now, but it was a big deal at the time.

Luckily, the prices came down during the following year, and they were soon pretty affordable. Panasonic's Replay TV seemed like the way to go, and I decided to go with the trusted brand. There was nothing wrong with it except for the fact that it'd freeze once in a while, but this was rare.

Aside from this one minor complaint, everything else was great. My friends loved it just as much, as they'd come over to watch shows that allowed us to skip through commercials.

The concept of DVR has evolved since then, and it even comes standard with many cable boxes out there. The recording capacity is much stronger than it used to be and the quality continues to improve.

It seems like it's been ages since the DVR was introduced, but it really hasn't been so long. Still, like cell phones and other recent inventions, it's hard to imagine life without it.

I don't know what I'd do without mine, and I don't want to think about it!

Why Celine Dion Was Meant To Be On Stage

By Tania Gabrielle

Celine Dion is known for her extraordinary voice. When news broke in August of her second pregnancy, I was prompted to check her name and numbers.

What I found blew me away.

Celine was born on the 30th, a 3 day, giving her a natural attraction for the stage, performance and self expression. Amazingly her Life Purpose Number is ALSO 30/3 - showing a powerful influence of the number which represents your voice.

Then I looked at her current name.

'Celine Dion' adds up to 30/3 in the ancient Chaldean system.

Wow. She has a triple whammy of the EXACT same number - 30/3. The zero in 30 also gives her divine protection.

Interestingly, a 30 current name shows a solitary but rewarding life to protect and nurture a talent you have in the arts or another gift. Sums her up perfectly. For Celine, who is rarely visible in the tabloid press, this has certainly been the case.

Her Destiny Number, based on her name at birth, is a 105/6. So ALL her main numbers are in the 3-6-9 'feeling and performance' trilogy. She was meant to be on stage somehow, and with the 6, she was meant to be a mother.

By the way, the other two trilogies are 1-5-7 representing the Mind, and 2-4-8 representing Manifestation.

Celine's 6 Destiny symbolizes the cosmic parent, the nurturer. 6 is a very compassionate vibration. Celine connects with people on a heart to heart level and inspires them to feel and be nurtured by her voice and presence. Having a major 6 in her birth blueprint means she must take time-outs to take care of herself since her tendency is to nurture those around her.

As for the recent news about being pregnant with her second child - it came on the perfect day.

Dion and her husband Rene Angelil found out the good news on Monday, August 17. Well that was a 33/6 Personal Day for Celine Dion. In fact ALL the important numbers in her blueprint were activated - with a special focus on the parental family number 6.

Yet again we see how numbers speak to us every day. They support and guide you in wonderful ways. By knowing what your main birth numbers are and what they mean, you can get powerful glimpses of your potential - now and way into the future.

The Four Best Sonic Games

By Frank Heltin

Sonic the hedgehog games are must haves and sell well across the whole world. The reason for this is because Sonic has been famous for over 10 years. There aren't that many flagship characters that can stand the test of time. Not all the games are keepers unfortunately, but let's look at the classics you should have played.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3

Great graphics and the gameplay in this game stayed the same compared to the previous Sonic game, but the levels are more interactive. There are more context sensitive items you can interact with. Every level has also a boss at the end instead of every other level.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2

We meet a new character by the name of Tails. His participation might seem insignificant, but look again. Not only does he bring some added joy to the game, he also is playable and can reach places other blue hero cannot even think about getting to.

Sonic and Knuckles

The ending is absolutely great with the introduction of Super Sonic. Who would have thought that Sonic could become even superior then he is already. It stunned me, but of course in a good way. There were a couple of plot twists which were really enjoyable.

Sonic Adventure

Sonic adventure for the Dreamcast was the first game that brought Sonic from 2D to 3D. It has been a huge success, because many games that crossover do not live up to the expectation.

Most of the games in the list are 2D games. The newer fans might not be familiar with the 2D Sonic. This is a shame and they should play the older games. Those were the glory days when Sonic was in competition with his rival Mario. But Mario could never keep up with Sonic.

The common denominator between these games was the beautiful and colorful graphics, there where various stages and multiple end bosses. The boss is usually dr. Robotnik or Egghead as he is frequently called.

Sappy Romantic Movies May Be Ruining Your Date Night - Make Him Laugh Instead

By Nicole Dean

Romance is rarely a serious business in my house, or most houses from what I'm hearing. As a matter of fact, it's usually not considered a manly thing to get all gushy and sweetie-pie faced, if you know what I mean. With most couples, if he's laughing, he's happy. And, if he's happy, you're both happy, yes?

When date night is movie night in our house, I'm pretty sure I know what my husband would NOT want to be forced to watch. Think of the most intrique love stories you've ever seen or heard about, those heart-tugging, tear-jerking movies that leave you surrounded by crumpled tissues. If you've considered watching any of these movies on date night, let me give you a heads up... don't. Here are four Please-Don't-Do-That-To-Him Movies.

1) The Notebook - If you know this movie, you know what I'm saying. If you don't know the movie, well it's a wife with alzheimers and a husband who's devoted to her. REALLY devoted to her. 'Nuff said? Spoiler alert... they die together in each other's arms in the end. Boo hoo. A definite buzz kill if ever there was one for a happy evening at home.

2) Closer - Exotic dancer falls for man who sees her hit by a car, and he rather likes her a great deal, but not quite as much as she likes him. Oh boy. Man meets another beautiful woman, out goes a very sad stripper, and woman number two gets married to someone else. That doesn't stop the man and woman from "celebrating their love" now and again, so it just gets depressing for the average couple who just wants to have a nice date night, you know?

3) A Walk To Remember - Ladies, rent this to watch with your girlfriends and a couple dozen bottles of wine. Your man will not appreciate the tender moments or the tragic event that sparks a whole lot of sad stuff. Is there redemption at the end? Who cares when you're trying to cuddle up with your man! Look for some laughs elsewhere.

4) The Bridges Of Madison County - Don't even think about it. You are so far from funny here you can't even imagine. Ladies, if you've seen this movie and think that it might be a nice choice for date night, you've totally forgotten what the movie was about. Watch this again with your gal-pals and enjoy the moment when you know what's going to happen. Then join in the shouting and the cursing at the unfairness of it all. Discuss with your girlfriends the true meaning of marriage, and cover the same ground over and over again if you must. By, by no means watch this with your man. He may never laugh again.

Yes, your man loves you and yes he will choke up at some sentimental things, but when it comes to movie-time and play-time, he needs a couple belly laughs, ladies. Let's see what's out there that has a comfortable combination of romance and laughs. You CAN have both, but you just have to temper the romance a bit, and avoid the sorrow! Here's a short list of movies that always bring smiles to my man, and me! Here are four Just-Sit-Back-Laugh-And-Enjoy movies.

1) Dan In Real Life - Funny movies that you can relate to are always a plus. Steve Carell seems like he could be your neighbor, or even yourself. He's, well, real. He plays a widower, which although is sad, is not the focus of the movie. After some time of being alone and lonely, he meets a wonderful woman, quite by accident, while he's on his way to a big family reunion. Sparks ignite, he's a happy man. Until he meets his brother's girlfriend. Oops... same woman. They keep it on the q.t., but of course things have to go awry eventually. Great fights, lots of laughs, some family issues, good characters, and the beautiful Juliette Binoche bring this movie all together. Nice way to spend a night alone with your man. Good laughs, good love.

2) The Holiday - There's a bit of sexy romping in this movie between Cameron Diaz and Jude Law, so that will certainly entice your man to take a chance on this movie. Once you get into it, you'll both enjoy the situations that develop between the other characters, too, played by Kate Winslet and Jack Black. The women exchange houses for the Holidays in order to escape their respective miserable love-lives. Once immersed in the very different lifestyle they find themselves in, all sorts of storylines develop that keep you and your man smiling, laughing, and even feeling a few tugs at the ol' heart. Not too much, but just enough to get you both all cuddly.

3) Hitch - This movie features a very cool, collected Will Smith. But, a guy with a heart of gold. He truly wants to help his clients find true love. It's just that his career as a matchmaker seems a bit cold or callus, especially to the woman he's trying to impress. His mission, and job, is to get men past the first date, hopefully to the third and on to marriage. He just can't seem to take his own advice. Lots of laughs and some honest-to-goodness real heartfelt sincerity when it all comes down to it. But, don't worry, there's enough off the wall behavior that will keep your man chuckling.

4) Click - Although this movie has a couple moments of darkness, the characters, played by Adam Sandler and the beautiful Kate Beckinsale, really outshine the few weighty moments. Hey, it's about life in a marriage, there's got to be SOME weighty moments! Adam Sandler is given a remote control by none other than Christopher Walken, who's character is incredibly outrageous. We soon learn that the "clicker" controls life. Now wouldn't that be handy, you say. If you're like most people trying to manage a family-life, you know how sometimes you would really like to fast-forward, rewind, pause, or mute the scene going on around you. Good message-movie, but loaded with laughs. You and your man will truly appreciate the laughs you can share watching this movie family go through many of the same things we all go through, and then some!

It's good to laugh, especially when you're spending time alone with your man. Pick a night to share a funny, and touching, movie, curl up in front of the television, laugh a little and cuddle a lot!

What they do is that they make the weatherman stand in front of a green background and then deliver his report there. After that, the editors get the video to take out the green background or the blue background and then substitute it with a picture of the map and the other photographs that they'll be putting in there.

In that time, a lot of costs are saved because of the green screen. Imagine not being forced to prepare numerous props and travelling to locations to deliver a scene. In modern times, the green screen has proven its purpose not only in weather reporting but in creating upscale films with special effects. A perfect example will be that of Star Wars. From there it has escalated to a different kind of art form. The modernity of software available today has made nice things possible through the use of green screen terraces.

plenty of software these days supports recording and modifying videos in chroma background. Because of this, practically anybody with a massive basement or a garage and one who knows the best way to properly light up a background can make special effects that would have made 70's sci-fi directors drool. If you can make green screen studio in your own home, then the following responsibility will get left to learning the way to edit it. This is where stuff becomes a bit more difficult. It'll also be a test of your concerns. Are you ready to spend such a great deal of time, effort and not to mention the learning curve of making your own videos?

Reliance Mobile - Call Your Friends Right Away

By Gayatri Prasad

get reliance mobile

The different packages and offers feel so very different, yet so same. The hoards of mobile operators and tons of different schemes are bound to make you nervous and confused. The operators come up with all these things because that is what the customer wants. The customer always wants an offer that is better than the current one that he is using.

If someone comes up with an offer for messages, you find it to be lagging when it comes to calls. And if you do get something that allows you to call and send messages at a nominal rate, you find a fault with the STD facilities. And finally, if you get one good offer, there is the huge headache of rentals and other hidden costs. But Reliance Mobile has an offer that is good for local as well as national, calls as well as messages.

You can call and send messages at simply 50 paise. Be it anywhere in India, any network or any time. There are no rentals. Though there are other operators who are allowing you to call at a cheaper rate within your network, you will find that this offer gives you a balance between local and STD charges. So if you want to spend a little lesser than what you generally spend on your mobile bills, taking this offer would be a wise decision.

A comparison with other operators might help you get an idea as to how much and exactly where you can save your money. Hrithik Roshan is the brand ambassador of the brand and has endorsed many of its products and services in the past.

It is applicable to the old cards as well. A GSM card is all that you need to get started with the scheme. Happy chatting and messaging.

The Limitless Possibilities: Green Screen Studio LA

By Phillip Guye

With the wide ranging capacities of special effects crews, you can conjure up almost anything that you would like to. Yesterday, I was watching a picture where the actor was crouching on the side of a driveway, trying to escape from the enemy who was pursuing him. I wouldn't have, for an instant, imagined that the full scene was shot in a green screen studio LA. The effect was so pragmatic that I could almost feel the discomfort that the actor was feeling, making an attempt to sit still in the midst of rats running all around him with the worst of the creepy crawlies out to get at him and masses more.

Similarly, I have always questioned how it was possible for men in uniform to be filmed during these grand action sequences. I am not talking about real life action, but remakes of that certain kind of army action; something that we do not frequently see all the time. I keep considering how the cameraman could get so close as to see the expression on the faces of these men, trying hard to progress and quell the fantastical demonic armed forces that were approaching. Now, I understand that these men never went anywhere near a battlefield. The whole thing was shot in a green screen studio LA.

When I saw the process I noticed that it was all about CGI effects and compositing, modifying and so on. The men in uniform were filmed with the green screen as a backdrop in the green screen studio LA. The picture of the green screen was eliminated and it was replaced by pictures of actual battle. The final picture looked like there was a real wild battle raging and that many folk would be finished on the field. In fact, this was not really happening. There wasn't any need for bloodshed of any sort. Real locations do not figure into this kind of shooting, because there is not any need in any way.

When the superimposing of photographs can be done in almost no time at all, there is no need to make expenditures that involve shifting to and from real location spots. The green screen studio LA can offer a lot more than just the green screen. For example, if you would like to do your revising in the studio, you can think about using any of the editing bays that are also available. All this comes at a cost that may be bartered before the particular shooting is started.

There are few more additional features that are given as part of the services offered when you hire the green screen studio LA out. You can try for the assistance of a post production crew and you can also ensure that the DSL Internet connection is working properly. It is clearly easy bothering you, working in this kind of a setup. So, please think more than simply once before traipsing off to a location to shoot difficult shots. These green screen flats are better.

Green Screen Studio Rentals: A Guide

By Phillip Guye

So you are an amateur film maker and you want to rent green screen studios to make your film masterwork. There are a range of reasons why you would want to lease a green screen studio and among those reasons is that you probably have some clever videos you would like to incorporate in a selected scene. Regardless of your reason for using a green screen studio, you must pay close attention to the place that you are going to hire. Lots of care should be given since the studio just about defines the whole spine of your production. Way more than post-processing, the particular production of the film rests greatly on the studio. It is about as important as having good actors so don't take it for granted.

What must you be on the look out for hiring good green screen studios? Consider location. If your production team is based in San Diego for example, try to not go past the state purely for a green screen studio. The cost that it would probably take for you to go traveling and transport your full production crew from states that are completely at opposing end would easily overthrow your cost for the whole production. Invest in research ; there's likely a good green screen studio near your base that you can utilize without losing an arm and a leg.

Take note of the cost of renting a green screen studio. Remember that the fee for a decent green screen studio production is mostly a product of the dimensions of the studio, the quality and modernity of the equipment and the professionalism of the crew that runs the place.

Here are the kit that you need to roughly find in a green screen studio that you are going to lease : A stage, lighting grid, HVAC units and naturally, vehicle access. All other features are merely a plus but you shouldn't forget to cover the fundamentals. It's also naturally, true that there should be make-up rooms and a room that overlooks the whole facility. You'll have to direct in a substantial distance and the communication between the tech room and on the floor should be open.

Special green screen residences have tall grids and 3-wall cyclorama. If you can find one within your region which has these specs, it might already be a fair deal for you.

Night of the Living Set

By James Pynn

My wife is a talented art director. We're both starting out in the entertainment industry and I'm totally in awe of her abilities. She manages to always get what she needs for any particular film she's working. Films are demanding collaborations and require various departments to work in tandem. Her department is often overlooked, though it's the first thing the audience sees. In fact, the art department makes such an impression that it can affect the audience on a subconscious level.

The movie she just finished was a horror film. Her budget was on the small size, given the scope of the special effects. Being crafty and determined, she made the best of her resources. During the middle of the shoot, her talents were put to the test. In the final scene (all movies are shot out of sequence to save money), the zombies are going head- to-head with the heroes of the film -- the set had to be perfect.

The location was a large, five bedroom house that belonged to a friend of one of the producers. Not only did the art department have to remember where all the home owners possessions belonged, they had to be extremely careful not to damage the home. Furthermore, she had to dress the set with the right kind of laboratory equipment -- zombie movies always seem to revolve around a laboratory experiment gone wrong.

It turns out that the big problem was that she didn't plan for this scene as it wasn't on the shooting schedule. It had been added at the last minute. But the show had to go on, and my wife had to scramble to get the right decorations and props in place. After making a dozen phone calls to other art directors around town (none of them had what she needed), she had to come up with a miracle.

She made a call and asked a local lab and asked if they could set aside some laboratory equipment. She sent her assistant to pick up all the equipment and began dressing the set in seconds flat. They shot the frantic finale in two nights. Going straight to the source can be the most efficient way to get what you need.

Are the Denver Broncos a Real Contender?

By Victor Crain

Wow! After a disappointing 2008 campaign and one of the worst defensive performances around, the Broncos were looking pretty dreadful. On top of this, their star quarterback, Jay Cutler, demanded a trade, and their star wide receiver, Brandon Marshall, refused to play.

The 2008 season was a disappointment - while the Broncos have started out well, their strength of schedule is one of the most difficult in the league. If the Broncos go 8-8 it will be a miracle. As good as the 09' season started for the Broncos, it can sink just as fast.

Denver Broncos Coach McDaniel is the youngest coach in the NFL, and his lack of experience hasn't seemed to matter so far. The Broncos have looked great through two weeks. Even Broncos fans weren't happy with the new coach in town.

WR Brandon Marshall was very close to leaving the team as well. While Marshall may be immature to an extent, there is no denying his on-field ability. No coach wants to lose their best two players before the team even takes the field.

The Broncos defense has been a huge surprise thus far. They have the one of the top ranked defenses in the league as of now. Their defense was they Achilles heal in 08' and cost them a chance at the playoffs.

The Browns offense is pretty bad, but the Bengals have always been strong as long as Carson Palmer's around. With Palmer back in the line up, it opens up a ton of room for their running game.

Individually, the Broncos are doing well on defense too. Take Elvis Dumervil, for example, whose four sacks during the first two quarters against the Browns are more than any Denver Bronco has ever achieved in a half of football.

Now that's serious. If Denver can keep this level of play up on defense, they're going to surprise a lot of fans. We all know that defense wins championships!

Reliance Mobile - Why Is It Good For You?

If Hrithik Roshan is your favourite actor, you might have not missed his famous movies like Krish and Dhoom. Similarly, you would have obviously not missed the advertisement in which he is seen dancing and enticing all the mice in a town (which happen to be the different mobile operators in the market) to jump from a mountain into nowhere.

This is the new ad from Reliance Mobile, which is now offering you calls and messages at a lesser rate. You can call your friends and family at simply 50 paise per minute. And even messages can be sent at 50 paise each. There are no daily or monthly rentals, hidden conditions or costs.

Mobile bills have always been a huge headache for people. People have got rid of their telephones and are opting for mobiles, because not only do they save you money, but are also easy to carry and use.

Business has increased, our lives have become more hectic and we are always on the move. Being in touch with our loved ones becomes all the more important. Business also requires us to travel a lot and be in constant touch with our employers and employees.

But constant calls and messages can mean more money and a regular amount of recharging. Sometimes we need to call people within the city, sometimes outside of it. At the end of the day, we somehow end up taking different offers at different situations. It would be so much better if we could have a simple offer which would help us for our local as well as STD calls and messages. Now this is possible.

Recharge your GSM card with any amount and get this offer. And make calls and enjoy. No need to switch from one offer to another. I think this would help solve many mobile bill problems and tensions.

Designer Clothes Shop Holds Trunk Sales

By Shannon Sullivan

The global economic recession has put a big dent in everyone's pocketbook, and that includes the portfolios of the very wealthy. That means that many fashionable ladies, rather than giving their designer clothes directly to charity, are opting to recoup some of their wardrobe investment by selling their outfits through a resale designer clothes shop.

It might be hard to believe, but that gorgeous fashionista at work you envy is probably someone who has found a resale designer clothing shop or website. You can have the same fabulous designer labels and looks at lower prices if you're willing to make the effort to search for bargains.

Here's where the Internet has become a real boon for bargain hunters. In fact, there are probably thousands of designer clothing shops who post their wares on the web. The problem is that you can't try on those lovely photos of designer duds. Unless you wear a standard size - and even sometimes then - you'll probably want to try it before you buy it, even if you can realize a minimum of 40 percent to as much as 80 percent off retail prices.

The best consignment designer clothes shops usually print the discount schedule on the price ticket, so you can calculate whether you want to risk having it snatched up by someone else while you wait for the price to come down.

Be sure to look for nearby shopping centers containing outlets for your favorite designers. That's where you'll be more likely to find a designer clothes shop with big bargains, anywhere from 40 to 80 percent off. If there's such a place within, say, a two-hour drive of your home, it can be worth the effort to spend a day combing the designer outlet shops for yourself or your family.

If that kind of gambling makes you nervous, especially when you're dying for a designer outfit you saw on your favorite show, then a better strategy for you might be to scope out bargains at a designer clothes store in a nearby outlet mall. If the outlet shopping center is two hours or less away from you, the drive will certainly be worth your time if you can get the designer clothes you love.

Before you turn the key in the ignition, however, make a couple of telephone calls to the designer clothes shops on your list. Not all consignment shops are created equal, so ask some pertinent questions about what designers they carry. Don't waste your time at a shop that doesn't have what you want. If they do have some of your favor designer labels, however, you can realize from 50 to 75 percent off retail for designer clothes that have been worn one time to the charity luncheon.

Finally, watch for designer trunk or sample sales. If your size and body type falls into the model range, you may strike designer clothing gold.

There are many people out there seeking designer clothes shop. If you are one of them, then you may want to consider seeking a place where you are able to buy cheap designer clothes, because we all know time are tough, but that does not mean that we should dress badly.

Online Bass Lessons: Be Aware Of Your Potential

By Kelly Stover

There is little that proves more daunting for young bass players than realizing just how physically demanding it is to play bass. As novices watching our favorite bassists on video we think, "That doesn't look so hard! I can do that!"

Take a regular guitar (which is tuned from the thickest to the lowest string- E - A - D - G - B - E) and exclude the two thinnest strings at the bottom and what is left is basically a bass guitar with thinner strings. Bass playing is usually note-oriented and not chord-oriented. This means that single notes are hit more often in bass playing and this scheme is the essential element of bass playing, one should be familiar with the tunings and the notes in a regular guitar to be able to decently play the bass guitar.

A bass guitar is heavy and cumbersome to carry around, because of all the supporting gadgets that come with it, not to mention the long cables that accompany all of the gadgets. Bass guitars are expensive to purchase, and also tough to learn. But these are indispensable in any pop or rock band. A bass guitar can indeed be the most prized possession of a devoted bassist.

Bass players want to be able to play the type of leads, licks and arpeggio runs that the pro players are doing, yes since most bass players have a really poor knowledge of their fretboard patterns and their application of them is so limited that it becomes a set back to their ability to play more and do more with their instrument. Not only do they need to know the right pattern to use and how to execute them in many different ways, but they also need to know how to practice with them. Regular practice with the proper set of fretboard patterns is a necessary component of becoming a seasoned player, time must be spent with practice, but it is important to know how to practice so that hours a day are not spent with insufficient result.

Learning how to play slap bass and incorporating slap techniques into your bass playing will not only make you a better bass player, but also a more versatile one. To learn slap bass is not as hard as some people may think. You just have to keep with it and you will get it.

When you hear the term learn slap bass, what it refers to is learning how to play certain techniques on the bass guitar. No matter what the other instruments in a band sound like, the bass guitar is crucial and is really the glue that holds the whole thing together. Slap bass is a way of playing the bass guitar.

The next link in the chain would be the choice of bass guitar. A $10 flea market bought bass would sound radically different from a $1000 Warwick, so choose which one suits the music wisely. Choice of strings (roundwound, flatwound, etc) also influences the resulting sound and character of the bass, as well as its behavior in interacting with the bassist's fingers.

Learning your bass patterns from alternate views of music theory and fretboard theory will result in a large impact on your bass playing skill, which is what being a great bass player is all about. For example traditional patterns, modern patterns, in position and out of position patterns need to be an integral part of your bass lessons.

The Blu-ray Ascendancy

By James Pynn

Celebrating 70 years, Disney released the definitive Blu-ray edition of PINOCCHIO this past spring. This edition features a richer, more detailed version of the beloved classic and has a wealth of previously unreleased bonus material, hence the second disc. To be sure, the list of exclusive Disney DVDs being converted to the blue laser has grown exponentially.

The avid fan would be well advised to start saving. Over the past two years the Blu-ray catalog of films has tripled. Though most studios are release their home entertainment features on both DVD and Blu-ray, the future is exclusively blue. Seven of the big eight studios, including Disney, will be releasing future films exclusively on Blu-ray. This means the still relatively expensive Blu-ray readers will be dropping in price. It's the CD revolution all over again.

The end of the'90s brought with it a heated technological battle between the emerging HD DVD and the Blu-ray disc, it was glaringly obvious that nothing could compare to the Blu-ray capacity. The best HD discs could not compete with the Blu-ray's data storage capacity or even its audio or video transfer rates. When Sony enabled their PS3 line with Blu-ray readers, it was the effective end of HD DVDs.

The success of the Blu-ray disc has everything to do with who funded its development, namely Apple, Sony, and Dell. Yes, that's right. These powers converged around this little disc because it utilizes a revolutionary blue-violet laser to read the disc. That's right: a blue laser. The blue spectrum provides a more detailed video image and its narrow focus allows more information to be encoded on the disc. In fact, it can hold twice the information on one disc than an ordinary HD disc. Say goodbye to the double-DVD movies.

Though DVDs are still in wide circulation, the average consumer would be well advised to make the changeover sooner rather than later. Its a powerful new disc, virtually identical to the CD disc were come to know and love. What is the big difference? They tend to blue. The only significant difference is in the reading of the laser-encoded data. The reading? Fear not, my friend, come closer and listen. Just as every dawn has its day, so too, does every disc have its own kind of reader.

As a matter of fact when the series first came out, Stephenie Meyer, the author of Twilight, sponsored a series of Twilight proms. So it isn't a huge leap to have a party based on the same theme. Since the idea is looking to be so popular it seems that one of the few ways to make your own even stand out is with unique favors.

The Arena Football League Reaches The End Of The Line

By Ross Everett

After canceling their 2009 season, the Arena Football League has shut down entirely and appears headed for bankruptcy. Earlier this week, the league office released a short statement indicated that it had ceased operations because owners were "unable to reach any consensus on restructuring the league over the past eight months." The leagues statement continued that there are no other viable options available to the league right now."

Even before the decision was made to cancel the 2009 season this past December, it had been a tumultuous off-season for the Arena Football League. It began with the resignation of long time AFL commissioner David Baker just two days before the Arena Bowl championship game. Though Baker put a positive spin on his resignation saying that he felt it was time, it didn't exactly send a positive message about the future viability of the league.

In October, the owner of the New Orleans VooDoo announced that the team would cease operations"despite being one of the league leaders in attendance. In announcing that the team would fold, owner Tom Benson (who also owns the NFL Saints) cryptically explained that it was due to circumstances currently affecting the league and the team."

With a dispersal draft planned to reassign the VooDoo personnel, uncertainty began to reign over the leagues future. The dispersal draft was scheduled and postponed several times amid assurances from the AFL office that rumors of financial instability were unfounded. The most recent announcement finally put all of the speculation to rest.

The inability to get any consensus on a business model for the league reportedly served as the final nail in the AFLs coffin. A major problem was skyrocketing player salaries, and some sort of compensation system tied to team revenues was a necessity. That agreement was reached with the players, but a bigger schism was left between several factions of owners"primarily drawn along lines of overall wealth.

Despite the demise of the Arena Football League, it wont be the end of the road for the twenty two year old sport. known as The 50 yard indoor war . Arena Football lives on in the AF2 league which, ironically, was originally started as something of a developmental organization for the AFL. The league plays in smaller markets and has a more realistic salary structure. A number of current AFL players"and possibly a couple of AFL franchises"could end up in AF2.

How To Choose The Right Set Of Wide Angle Binoculars

By Mary Norman

Avid hunters and hard-core sports enthusiasts both know how having the right pair of binoculars can make a huge difference in the way you enjoy your favorite activities. Any type of activity which requires you to view it from a distance is a good candidate to use a pair of wide angle binoculars. These binoculars are great for pulling the action in from a distance and allowing the spectator to take in all of the action.

Before you invest in a pair of new binoculars you may want to consider a few things first. Just as with any in other product, the quality of the glasses will differ with different manufacturers. If you choose a set which is built with quality in mind, it will save you from having to purchase another pair in the future, thus saving money in the long run.

The difference in wide angle binoculars and those which are standard issue you is that you have a wider field of vision. This means they are much more suited for long distance viewing and for being able to see more area without moving the glasses themselves.

With each different type of binoculars, movement is affected according to the size you are using. You would not be able to pick up as much movement if you are using a compact set as you would if you are using the wide angle type.

When shopping for a pair of binoculars you need to pay particular attention to the lens pieces. This is the area which will make contact with your face while you are using them. You want to make sure they are very well constructed and are comfortable when you use them. Trying several pair before making a purchase will let you know if you have a winner or not.

You can find wide angle binoculars made by different manufacturers and in a variety of price ranges.

Tips For Gay Dating Success

By Brent Thomas

It can be very lonely in the world of gay dating. Many men only want a physical connection and when you're looking for true intimacy it's not always easy to find someone who cares about you as a person as well as wants to spend the night.

Then there's the bi-curious guys that want to run out the door as soon as their finished.

How Do You Find a Healthy Balanced Gay Relationship?

Here are my top tips for healthy gay dating.

Make Sure He's Gay - Have a long conversation with him. Ask him how long he's been gay. Find out when the last time he dated a woman was. If he hesitates, he's probably lying. Talk to him about how attractive men are (in particular him). If he's uncomfortable with speaking about being gay - he isn't!

Work Out - How you look physically will determine to some extent how lucky you are at attracting men. A well chiseled physique will have more boys coming after you. Of course there are some great guys who care less about looks, but you might as well attract them all!

Play Hard to Get - Don't get sexual on the first date. I know that men have huge problems with waiting. If you're serious about having a longer lasting sexual relationship with a man, make him wait before you get in bed with him. Enjoy a few hours of making out spread over a few dates before anything further progresses.

It's a Numbers Game - The more you get out there, the more likely you are to meet Mr Right (or at least Mr Right Now). Go to more gay clubs, bars, restaurants and beaches where you're surrounded by other gay men. Spend more time with gay friends and be active.

Use Technology - It can save a lot of time by using gay dating services online. If you have an iphone, you can connect with gay men in your area virtually any time of day (well worth getting an iphone immediately just for that). There are other great gay dating sites that I recommend to all of my blog readers as well.

The bottom line is to use common sense. A serious relationship won't be built if there isn't a real connection and serious trust. Many people are only looking to hook up physically, but it can damage your self esteem if you are too promiscuis.

It's easier now than ever to meet hot men quickly with modern technology. A few random hookups can be a lot of fun and if you want to get lucky tonight, you actually can. Use it wisely and you'll never be lonely when you don't want to be.
