Finding Hip Hop Mix Podcasts by R Brandt

Many music podcasts are available online for downloading; if one wanted to find, for instance, a hip hop mix podcast, there are a few sites available to help. The first possibility would be to go directly to a site which creates one and subscribe to it using a podcast client which automatically checks the feed for new episodes and downloads them for the user. If, however, one did not know of any hip hop mix podcast sites, or simply wanted to find new podcast sites, the best possibility would be to check a podcast directory, a list of podcasts that can be browsed.
Hip hop mix podcasts could easily be found at one of these podcast directories. A podcast directory stores lists of podcasts which have been submitted to the site, and categorizes them by genre, type of podcast, region, and other meta data. To find a hip hop mix podcast, visiting a podcast directory and checking under music podcasts, and then under hip hop music would find many podcasts which play that type of music.

The hip hop mix podcast could then be subscribed to by inputting the feed address listed into one of the many podcast clients. The music will come in episodes, the name for each downloadable portion of a podcast. Some of these podcasts may feature independent artists, musicians trying to break into the music industry who have chosen podcasting as a way of sharing their music and gaining a following. Others may be remixes of popular songs that have been changed in some way to give a different feel to the music. Often, the artists may already be established, though, and they still see podcasting as a way to introduce themselves to a larger audience. They may grant rights to pay certain hip hip songs to a podcaster, letting them play the music as part of their mix distribution while requesting a link to a site where more information can be learned about the artists and music can be purchased. Artists that have done this include alias, edan, outerspace, RA the rugged man, roots manuva, and outer space.

A large number of podcasts featuring hip hop mix podcasts are actually radio stations, however. These broadcasters have found that podcasting their shows and selections is an easy way to reach more listeners and gain a greater audience. These podcasters can reach more people easier and cheaper than they can by playing hip hop mix music over the airwaves in their local areas. Playing hip hop music over the internet is probably the way many future artists will do their work, and there are many ways available even now that they can do so and make a profit. For instance, some podcasts are designed to work on a payment basis. A hip hop artist who wished to share his music could charge for addition to the feed list, then issue a unique feed address to the user, allowing them to hear new pieces of hip hop music released. The hip hop music file could even be designed so it could not be copied and used by another user at a different computer, to ensure that the artist could maintain control over his work.

Get 2 Vacations for the Price of 1 by Enid Glasgow

In the tourism industry, Cancun is two locations; the city of Cancun and its off-the-coast neighbor, Isla Mujeres. While you would still book your stay at an exotic Cancun hotel, you might take a day trip to the island for its clean, simple shoreline and an all-around tropical atmosphere.
Both locales have their perks, so why spend your day at one over the other?

Go to Isla Mujeres for...


Dining on the freshest fish.
Scuba diving the cenotes for "sleeping" sharks.
Leaving the crowd behind.
Exploring a generally-untouched terrain of rocky cliffs and thick, green shrubbery.
Stay in Cancun for...


Zona Hotelera, or 'Hotel Zone'.
Watching all the parades and indulging in the infamous margaritas that either make or break the restaurants and bars that serve them.
Fervently shaking and grinding to reggaeton, salsa, or hip hop.
Perusing the lanes of Mercado Veintiocho for genuine Mexican wares, foods, and other memorabilia.
What's nice about having Isla Mujeres in such immediate proximity is that never do you have to choose one or the other; you can have your cake and eat it too, south of the border.

Beyond the Fad by Kaye Z. Marks

Brochures are an old standby of print advertising and color printing. They've endured the test of time, but sometimes they get overlooked in the rush to hop on the latest marketing bandwagon. Some will say that brochures just aren't as hip and sexy as their online oriented alternatives.
I think a lot of this sentiment comes from the fact that designing an attractive brochure takes more thought and consideration than spamming a list e-mail addresses. It doesn't have to be difficult or time consuming, though. Let me give you a few quick and easy to follow guidelines for brochure printing that may help you out.

Start Strong - The ever increasing demands on consumer's time coupled with an overabundance of advertising ensures that people will, without a second glance, pass over a brochure that doesn't offer them a compelling reason for them to pick it up and read it. You have to win them over with the headline on your brochure's cover. If you really want to put your logo at the top of the brochure you can.

Just keep make sure you leave room at the top for your headline and make the text of the headline itself the prominent feature. Personally, I prefer to lead with the headline and save company information for the bottom of the brochure or the back of the brochure. Using the space on the back of your brochure for your logo makes for a very sleek and professional looking brochure, in my experience.

Focus on Image - After reading your headline, the second thing that's a reader is going to focus on is the imagery you employ on the cover of your brochure. Your image should be bold enough to catch the eye but should be complimentary to the overall color scheme of your brochure.

I also recommend using a single image that will convey what the reader should expect from the remainder of the brochure. This will prevent a cluttered and unprofessional impression. Also, make sure the image you are using is of a high enough resolution to not look grainy or distorted when it is printed. The sharper your image, the better the impression it will make on your customer.

Establish Your Offerings - Once you've established your reader's initial interest and engaged them enough to open your brochure to page two, you have to have substance and an answer to their wants or needs. The reader of your brochure is looking for a tangible offer from your company. Your brochure's interior should feature the benefits of a select family of products or services.

If you haphazardly throw random products together in the hopes that one will stick you'll likely just dilute your sales effort and confuse your reader. Include products in your brochure that logically go together and make a selling point for the entire line, while offering enough product specification to allow your customers to differentiate between products and find the one that suites their needs.

Avoid Info Overload - On the flip side of providing product information, providing too much detail can be as detrimental as providing too little detail. In other words, cover the basics of each product and the features that make it stand out. Avoid turning your brochure into a full spec sheet filled with data that is going to be lost on the customer. You're goal is to establish interest and get the reader to call and inquire about a product or, better yet, stop by your store and check it out for themselves.

Business brochures have stood the test of time for a reason. They continue to be effective long after the latest marketing fad has either faded away or become old hat to consumers. Brochures work because they are simple and direct. Your customers will appreciate that, and you'll appreciate the boost in profits they can provide.

House is still Hot by DP www.collegedj.net

Electronica is coming back. These days, much of the new music that has come out has an electric house feel to it. Many artists from rappers to pop and R&B artists are making music that appeals to people who like house music. Artists like Akon, Madonna, Ne-Yo, Lil Wayne (remixes), Kanye West, Lupe and Kenna have recently made tracks with an electronica feel. The trick to making a good cross-genre beat is to stay true to one form while respecting the other. For example, Kanye’s “Flashing Lights” and “Stronger,” are classic house beats that are true to electronica and house, yet still have the basic elements of hip hop. Other artists have synthesized classic hip hop beats to house music by using pitch controls to speed the beat up while some have kept the beat clean like Wiz Khalifa’s “Say Yes”. Featured on College DJ.The combination of hip hop, house and rock has helped to define artists that are looking to reach broad audiences while giving their fan base something new. A lot of the new music also comes with a house style b-side for the djs to play in clubs or other venues that ordinarily don’t play rock or hip hop. Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida” has elements of house music -so electronic house beats are unlimited to typical genres. -DP

Hiphop-Reborn-They See (Desi) Revolution by Desi Media Networks

UNIVERSAL HIP HOP REBORN !!!!!!!
DNOAX - They See (Desi) Revolution

Hip Hop is no more limited only to particular Race, country or continent. Its evolved into something universal. Listen to the much awaited album by DNOAX (Desi Number One Artistes X) called They See (Desi) Revolution and experience a total new hip hop genre. The latest and the biggest Dei Hip Hop groups in the world having more than 20 rappers in their crib under their record label Desi Media Networks. DNOAX has launched their Debut album titled " They See (desi) Revolution" world wide across all leading online and digital stores, This group is creating a huge mayhem all over the world. They come with a total different meaning to Hip Hop which is a mixture of Ancient Sounds along with Some heavy hip hop beats and Some creative flowing. Dnoax was Initially formed Seven Years Back in the Indian Sub Continent by Snypah Killah a.k.a Varun in a small city called Madras or Chennai. What Initially Started as a group of 4 rappers has now grown into a number of more than 20 rappers from different cities all across India. Releasing the fact that its important to lay a strong foundation so that the dream lives on, the enterprising duo Varun aka Snypah Killah & his partner Anurag Ghorpade aka Spunky founded a Hip-Hop label called Desi Media Networks (DMN). The duo decided on a Hip-Hop album which they’d fund themselves, featuring every one of these artistes, thereby satisfying the urge to educate the audience about universal Hip-Hop & make it more widely accepted in their Desi way. The producer duo set out touring these cities, got together with their pals & planned out the album, which was, so far, just a distant dream for everyone involved, lest someone gave them a break, which Desi Media Networks did. They realized launching something like an out & out Hip-Hop album in a market dominated by a lot of thrash music & with an audience whose understanding of Hip-Hop was limited to Drugs, Cash, Cars, Clothes, Booze, Semi-clad women, Jewels etc., they had a big challenge before them. In a way, they also had to give the people what they wanted and thats what DNOAX did. Their sound and flow are simliar to a mixture of 50 cent, Mos Def and Talib Qweli, G-unit, Rishi Rish, Bombay Rockers. It looks something really different when an album comes with a lot of mixtures. The album features tracks ranging from Club Bangers to Conscious to Gangsta to Mushy etc The artistes from different cities had just the kind of diversity that was needed to give the album that essence. From recording tracks on a tight schedule to shooting their very first music video, with each step they took, they saw the light at the end of the tunnel grow brighter. The underground version of their music video on youtube got more than 100,000 views in the first week. The album is available worldwide at the following places. iTunes, Amazon mp3, Napster, Emusic, Clingout.com , Groupie Tunes, Rhapsody. The album is also expected to be released in India where customers can buy the tracks, album and the video through various cell phone providers in India like Airtel, Vodafone, Reliance, Tata .The indian release is expteced to be available by june 2008. Here are the links where you can preview and buy the album. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00120G2AY/ref=dm_sp_alb http://free.napster.com/view/artist/index.html?id=12484901 http://www.clingout.com/music/index.php

And here is what the press had to say:

18-05-2008 PRESS RELEASE

HIP HOP REBORN …#34; DNOAX …#34; THEY SEE (DESI) REVOLUTION …#34; ALBUM AVAILABLE ON ITUNES

Indian hip-hop label, Desi Media Networks launched its hip-hop/rap group named DNOAX with an Twelve strong, London based, Indian hip-hop/rap combo. DNOAX is one of the world`s biggest Hip Hop groups which has more than 20 rappers representing different styles of Hip Hop. Very much a pretty unique take on the genre is surprisingly fresh and beautifully vibrant; eastern influences pour themselves in and out of the genre-typical pulsating grooves and you find yourself being slowly sucked in to DNOAX musical ethos. And, having been willingly rather than reluctantly sucked in you could honestly say, hey this is cool - I love it!!

There are twelve really crisp, really tasty tracks included here and some of the smash hits include; 'They See (DESI) Revolution', 'The Moment', 'DNOAX Is Back' and 'Bhool Na Jan' - and, really are inspired!

DNOAX create a beautifully rounded sound as it chops and changes between 'street' English and India's native 'street' language. It's weird coz you don't really need to know what they're singing about - you just have to let the music wrap itself around you and sit back and nestle in its warm exterior. And, that warm exterior surrounds a very well crafted, luxuriant and equally warm interior …#34; in fact, this work is performed and produced to a very high standard and DNOAX is very proud of themselves for giving' it their all!

If you have any leanings towards world music or appreciate true 'international' vibes then you might just find this as entertaining and rewarding as every listener earlier experienced; DNOAX would certainly make you sit up, This is a fascinating fusion , Hip-hop music isn't tied into any Nation, Race or creed but it does tend to be associated more with black American artists more than Anything else.

The Brits have done it and it's been handled successfully in Europe - so its walking the right path with Asian or Indian nuances and the answer is DNOAX and supposedly it doesn't Actually defy logic - there's no reason at all why Indian artists shouldn't have something to Say through what is essentially music of and for the street!!

The Advantage with DNOAX having more than 20 rappers brings a lot of different genres of Hip together, there are tracks which sound commercial, mellow, gangsta and all the way up to conscious. This indeed is a unique mix of great styles and mood of rapping.

DNOAX, with 'They See (desi) Revolution' have brought a smile to all the listeners and viewers across the globe and a twinkle to their toes - DNOAX has a great future - their music will appeal to a pretty wide audience and as this whole trip is properly promoted and it could very well come to pass that 'they see revolution' in hip-hop/rap music with the likes of the excellent DNOAX and their 'world' contemporaries. Most unusual but extremely pleasing stuff from a great sounding combo - pleasantly surprising and damn cool to partake of - DNOAX rock and that's the truth!!

And here is a preview of their ground-breaking, brand new video. They See (Desi) Revolution

http://youtube.com/watch?v=IZC_GCREMnc A simple search on YouTube with the Phrase DNOAX would give you various videos of the group which have spread on a world wide note getting more than 400,000 views within no time. The debut track titled They See (Desi) Revolution is also expected to hit world wide television channels very soon. To preview the album , just go into iTunes and search for DNOAX to find out a whole new sound and genre of Rap and Hip Hop. DNOAX has released their debut album titled They See (Desi) Revolution across all leading online and digital stores world wide, The album can be bought at iTunes, Rhapsody.com , Amazonmp3.com , clingout.com , groupietunes.com , Napster.com and emusic.com. DNOAX is India`s first ever Hip Hop group to drop a record World wide and I suggest you pick their copy up. Famous rappers said Hip Hop is Dead….But this is from where the resurrection of Hip Hop Begins. Indeed, DNOAX has just started the Hip Hop Revolution……

Hip Hop Posters: Get Spice on the Wall by Patrick Arden

It is hard to find a creative place or a happening joint or even a home, where there are no wall hangings and where there is no sign of any poster kind of decorative pieces. These decorate very beautifully and people find it the most convenient art stuff to add on a wall. Nowadays, youngsters and children are very fond of hip hop posters. These posters have photographs of hip hop music heroes with their cool accessories and attitude. But there is a big problem.
The problem is that these posters are not available easily. You can only find posters of the most famous hip hop artists like Akon, that too in less variety. Now, if you want to decorate your place with a large size poster of Craig David or Beastie Boys, then it would be hard to find them. But now, you need not to worry about variety as online shops are making available the most classical as well as latest hip hop posters.

There are various websites which sell classical hip hop posters on the reasonable prices. Everyone like these posters and many hip hop stars are the heroes of many youngsters as they sing songs of love, compassion, empathy, hatred, patriotism and also passion and they do these with a particular style. That style is famous and so these stars. The posters of these stars are in vogue, inspirational, stylish, trendy as well as beautiful. Be it Aaliyah, Akon, 8 Mile, Bomfunk MC's, 50 Cent, Asian Dub Foundation, Beastie Boys, Black Eyed Peas, Bone, Craig David, DMX or Cypress Hill, the extremely enchanting posters of all these and many more stars in all sizes are available in the online shops.

Hence visit one online shop and choose hip hop posters of your choice. You can decorate your hangout places with them and also they can be the most suitable gift for young children. So, add spice to your place with them.

Indie Artist Tries To Counter Debt Industry Propaganda by Polarity/1

Maybe you've noticed that America's debt industry -- based on legalized loan-sharking -- has created an economic crisis that threatens to go global. On a more local level -- millions of families are facing home foreclosures and bankruptcy. And the credit card offers just keep flowing into our mailboxes.
"The avalanche of propaganda from the US debt industry with offers of 'cheap' credit is downright immoral as millions of families see their homes foreclosed," noted NY-based multi-instrumentalist/arranger/composer/producer Polarity/1. "Having long worked on the subject, I felt I had to do something in order to educate Americans and counter the propaganda"

Polarity/1, a multi-instrumentalist/arranger/composer/producer, was one of the early voices warning of the impending debt crisis, having composed most of the score and served as Music Supervisor for Danny Schechter's feature-length documentary IN DEBT WE TRUST. Focused on America's dangerous addiction to debt and the predatory nature of our credit and loan industry, the film predicted over two years ago the economic meltdown being experienced today. And he's now making the message available to the public, offering all his tracks from the documentary - including "Free Money," "Charge It," "Free Money Blues," and "I'm So Broke" - as free MP3 downloads at http://www.reverbnation.com/polarity1

The music of Polarity/1 is exactly what the name suggests: conjoined opposites -- a mash up of new: cutting edge electronica/hip hop/nu-jazz and old; roots music of America (blues, funk, country, early jazz), Brazil (samba, pagoda, etc.) and West African groove science. Polarity also describes the dual streams of Polarity/1's musical output: songs and instrumentals.

After a few years of playing percussion in samba bands at S.O.B.'s and other venues. Polar landed in hip hop which combined his interests in grooves, samples and wordplay into one form. He and rapper D.A.V. became Medicine Crew. In the aftermath of 9/11, Polar was asked to do a remix of Nile Rodgers' We Are Family Project released on a compilation by Tommy Boy Records. His experience of 9/11 which was perpetrated in his neighborhood led to a collaboration with multi-platinum Pakistan rock band Junoon resulting in their hit song 'No More'. John Hollander has choreographed four Polarity/1 compositions for New York's Battery Dance Company's fall season opening in November 2006 and has been touring extensively with the piece. In 2008, he scored "The Other Side" for the Quorum Ballet from Lisbon, Portugal. P/1's new collaboration, Koko Dozo, released their first album Illegal Space Aliens in February 2008.

Five Critical Facts You Must Know In Order to Make Dramatic Improvements In Your Leg, Butt, Hip and Thigh Problem Areas - Quickly, Safely and Easily... - by Joey Atlas, 'The Woman's Trainer' and Author of Amazon Bestseller: 'Fatness to Fitness' No doubt about it: The lower body trouble spots and problem areas of a woman can be extremely stubborn and quite depressing. From 'too fat, heavy and flabby' to 'very skinny, unshapely and covered with cellulite' - the female leg, butt, hip and thigh areas can be the toughest problem areas to 'fix'. But armed with the right information and a little bit of energy you can make definite, visible and permanent improvements. Here are five key points you must know: 1 - There are several hundred muscles in your leg, butt hip and thigh area. The problem is, not exercising these muscles correctly will make your trouble spots worse and more pronounced. The right exercises that use these muscles in harmony with each other can bring definite results without spending unrealistic amounts of time for exercise and risking injury. 'Balance' is an important element of the proper home exercise program. 2 - Regardless of your leg, butt, hip and thigh goals... - from fat/flab/cellulite reduction to firming, slimming, building, toning, lifting and sculpting - the right combination of exercises and sensible nutrition will give you much better results in a shorter amount of time. Combine these improperly and you'll just keep spinning your wheels, with no results to show for your efforts. 3 - Age, genetics and body type have much less impact on... how your body looks and feels, than you may have been led to believe by traditional media, your friend's brother in law or your family physician. Truth be told, your body is quite adaptable when treated properly as opposed to trying to force change on it with inappropriate, heavy weight-training and uncomfortable machine type exercise programs 4 - You will NEVER improve or enhance your leg, butt, hip or thigh areas with... cellulite creams, lotions, wrap treatments, diet/fat burning pills, butt enhancement supplements or any other money wasting gimmick that sounds to good to be true. (You may have already wasted A LOT of money on some of these). Deceptive marketing companies take advantage of advertising loopholes that allow them to lie to you on the packaging and in their advertisements. They don't care about you at all - they just want your money, nothing else. click here for more information http://wolfire.joeyatlas.hop.clickbank.net/

Lollipop by Lil Wayne Ringtone by James Brown

Get your Lollipop ringtone for super cheap here

I must say Lollipop is one of the most amazing hip-hop/rap songs I have heard in a long time. On second thought, it's probably the coolest song I've heard since "Nuthin' But a G Thang" by Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg in '93.

I first listened to Lollipop during a trip to Miami at the beginning of June. I remembered in my head the lyrics "bottles in the club" and instantly thought "I need to get the ringtone for this cool song"

Need Some New Dancewear? by Cedric Grosjean

Everyone knows that wearing clothes that make you feel good improves your confidence and that is why it makes sense to pick your dancewear carefully. Get it wrong with an over the top outfit covered in bells and sequins and you will feel stupid but get it right and you'll find your dancing is injected with a new sense of vitality.
Obviously there are many different dance styles from ballet to hip hop and ballroom to jazz, and with every different style of dance comes a different style of dancewear which is particular to that genre of dance. For example, hip hop dancers wear hip hop specific dancewear like split sole trainers which give more flexibility to the feet. Bandanas are also widely seen on hip hop dancers, sometimes warn on the wrist or leg other times worn on the head on its own or under a baseball cap. There are loads of websites on the internet where you can purchase new dancewear and some sites even have free delivery so it can really take the hassle out of getting a new dance outfit. The added bonus of online shopping is that you can get all your whole outfit and accessories from the same site instead of having to visit a different shop for every item. Some people do worry about buying clothes over the internet because you can't physically try them on, but most major dancewear sites will have a refund policy and will be more than happy to exchange your item for something else or simply return the money. When looking for new dancewear there are a few important things that should be taken into consideration but the main factor is the fit. It is crucial that your new dancewear is the right size as if it is too big it may well fall off or it could actually cause injury if you trip over it. If your dancewear is too small it could make dancing painful and make dance time seem more like a chore! Also consider the material your new dancewear is made out of. Some manmade fabrics can make the wearer very hot as the material does not let the skin breathe properly. If you are worried about over heating when you are dancing then your best bet is to go for dancewear made out of either cotton or linen as these are both natural fabrics and are light and airy. Many dancers also believe that choosing the right dancewear that looks good will help to keep the audience's attention focused on them when they are dancing. That is why you often see very elaborate dancewear at dance competitions and also why dancers like to pick their best clothes when they are auditioning. Dance choreographers also tend to say that good dancewear and clothes compliment the body's movement and show off the lines of the body better. So what are you waiting for? Get browsing for some new dancewear and add a little extra excitement into your dancing!

The Unmatched Beauty of Diamond Pendants by JohnM

The female neckline is so beautiful, it almost calls out to be adorned with a lovely piece of jewelry. Diamond pendants are beautiful and classical items of jewelry, which can do wonders for any outfit. That expensive Gucci dress will look absolutely stunning when combined with a diamond pendant. However, diamond pendants do not have to be the sole domain of those who can afford to buy expensive garments. Even a simple black evening dress will look terrific when combined with a diamond pendant. Matching items of clothing and jewelry always requires care, but also gusto and imagination.
When selecting a diamond pendant it's important to consider the contours of the wearer. There are many varieties of diamond pendants: from asscher cut diamond pendants, to pendants with a round shaped diamonds. One style works for daily wearing, whereas another style might work better for special occasions. Websites such as Diamonds-USA offer an extensive selection of diamond pendants for all occasions.

Diamond pendants are popular throughout all cultures. Many ancient works of art depict women wearing diamond pendants, and they have also always been popular with royalty. Diamond pendants make a real statement about the wearer.

Why are diamond pendants so appealing? Maybe it is because the neckline is so prominent. Also the neck lends itself perfectly to the maximum possibility for the interplay of diamond facets and light. It is here around the neckline that diamonds can shine in all their glory. Diamond pendants always attract attention at major events, such as Oscar night, where starlets walk down the red carpet adorning the latest jewelry creations, along with suitably matching gowns. In recent years we have seen the likes of Reese Witherspoon and Keira Knightley walk the carpet showing off beautifully crafted diamond pendants.

Certain styles of diamond pendants are popular with men, as seen in hip hop dress culture.

Another interesting perspective is that diamond pendants are located very close to the heart, and that creates a very romantic association. The connection between diamonds and the heart is a well know one.

But what is the big attraction of diamond pendants? Surely diamond rings are a far more significant item of jewelry, because they are given for special events such as engagements. Well, it is precisely for that reason that diamond pendants are special. They are not associated with traditional giving, but with giving from the heart. That is what makes them so special.

PHP Programming Made Easy by Jon Caldwell

PHP Programming Made Easy by Jon Caldwell
Here are some helpful basics on PHP: Begin, at all times, a PHP page with . (a period) and never neglect to use ; (semi colon) at the close of a variable. Secondly, before manually starting phpmyadmin to make your PHP program run properly, be ready to set up PHP, PHPTriad first. Next, to enable your php program to function, bring a php page in a .php wing. And lastly, don't forget that security is the main requirement in using this type of PHP language. In developing a page with PHP, high level of security is necessary.
It is also very important to note that if you really want your program to operate, follow instructions to the letter. With this type of system, accuracy is the key.

Contrary to common notion, programming is not really hard, at least at present. Compared to the earlier days of programming about more than twenty years ago when it was totally alien to most people, nowadays, almost anyone can learn this skill. It's true that during the infant stage of programming there were learning books to assist those who wanted to study and train in this field. However, we are luckier now because there are tutorials, mostly online, that can help us in developing programming skills.

On the other hand though, undergoing tutorials either online or in actual location should be boosted by one's perseverance and interest. Perseverance requires the learner to read tutorial lessons and later try out some actual programming work while interest pushes the person to really want to acquire and learn said ability.

Blogger is equipped with a superb interface used to tidy up blog entries as well as facilitate endorsement of a blog to attain a better position in its niche. This application only requires an uncomplicated SimpleXML set transported with an entire PHP system, along with some understanding of the Google Blogger API and a small part of PHP scripting to come up with the needed HTML code.

Blogger interface is so excellent that it should be put to full use when promoting a blog because with this method, one need not install blog software on a web server anymore since it is already inbuilt with Blogger. This way the web site owner saves time and effort, plus he is able to maintain his MySQL database allowance and set it aside for better and more advanced use in the future.

Mashup, in technological context, refers to a web application that makes use of a combination or mixture of data from two or more sources. This combination is then put together into one single device. A good example for this is the integration of cartographic data from Google Maps to real-estate facts, thus producing a different and fresh web service which is otherwise not provided by either or both sources. Consequently, the end-product of mashup is data or code that can be applied for software purposes.

Interestingly, mashup originated from a certain application in pop music, especially hip-hop in which a special song is created by combining two or more other songs.

Output Buffer is a process by which HTML or Javascript code or echo or print is produced in PHP with the information being sent to the browser and consequently to the web as an outcome. This is done by having the information stocked up on the server until the script is done executing, or by you doing something on the buffer itself.

To carry out this process, you should start the output buffer first. This should be done before anything else is fed to the browser. It is very important that you start it right after opening the PHP tag. You have to be very precise and sure that no prior action is done before the PHP tag is opened because even a lull or space can result to mistakes.

hip hop instrumentals by dwepproductions

There's a variety of methods that you can use to create Hip Hop Instrumental beats for you or someone else to emcee or sing over. The initial thing you need to decide is if you are going to be using hardware or software, whichever method you pick to produce your hip hop instrumentals either one will work just fine if you are musically inclined and have the dedication, or like many hip hop and r&b producer gurus use the combination of both hardware and software to create hip hop instrumental beats. But this is a ongoing battle of what is really better to use? Software or Hardware.
It's not a must to purchase the latest MPC to make the rawest Hip Hop Instrumental beats out there on the market. You could make the same quality of beats and save a bunch of money and spend about 3-4 hundred dollars on some good software like Reason or Fruity Loops and make the same quality Hip Hop Instrumentals of that as a 3000 dollar MPC or keyboard sequencer. A few of the things you will surely need to create some high quality hip hop instrumentals are high quality samples and drum sounds. There are varieties of methods to get drum sounds and samples these days but the initial way I'm going to talk about is sampling sounds from records.

Sampling from records in a nutshell refers to playing a record then choosing a segment or a simple sound, then exporting it into a program like Adobe Audition to chop up the sample until it sounds ill. Aight yo, say you have an old record and a song starts off with a drum loop with no other instruments, you can take that drum sample from the beginning then export that sample into a sequencing program like Cubase or Adobe Audition then loop the snare or selected instrument or sound you picked to loop. Export the snare sound(or whatever), export it into a mastering program or as is....if you choose, then there you a got it, your very own snare sound for you hip hop instrumental beat.

This is the same if you find a good catchy tune in a particular song that you would like to sample from. Then you can render the sample into a sequencing program like Cubase and screw around with it by tweaking the pitches and frequencies of sound to your discretion, or just straight loop that piano sample from that Mozart record, addsome hip hop drums behind it then you might just have a dope ass Hip Hop Instrumental for you to either spit over or try and sell it to some emcee fiending for a dope ass hip hop instrumental.

A alternate way other then buying a bunch of records and turntables for sounds and samples for your hip hop instrumentals is to just purchase some pre-mastered drum-kits and samples that are all ready mastered and ready for your usein WAV. format. Not Mp3. There are many many sites that offer this service for a small fee, just do a search in a search engine for hip hop samples or hip hop instrumentals and there will be loads of sites just waiting for you with some kick ass drum kits for your hip hop instrumentals.

Dancing Reality Shows Are a Real Hit With the Fans! by Libbles

Dancing themed reality shows are all the rage right now, due in part to the success of "Dancing with the Stars." ABC's award winning "Dancing with the Stars" is based on the British reality show "Strictly Come Dancing." The first season debuted the summer of 2005. It featured six professional ballroom dancers paired up with six celebrities. The premiere drew in 13 million viewers, which was the biggest summer debut of any American reality show. The show continued to gain viewers and reached #1 in the ratings, where it stayed until the end of the season. Usually the celebrities that are a bit more athletic in real life are able to last longer in the competition, as they are required to perform demanding dances such as the foxtrot, the quickstep, the jive, and the paso doble. Fans also love to tune in to hear the critiques of judges Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli.
In fact, so popular were Carrie Ann and Bruno that they were given their own reality show, "Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann." The show was a bit like "American Idol" but in addition to singing, the contestants had to be able to dance too! Carrie Ann and Bruno held auditions all around the country to find the most talented performers. From those auditions, Carrie Ann and Bruno both picked a team of seven performers and the battle began. Each week, the teams had to compete against each other by performing singing and dancing routines, with the home audience voting for their favorites. The team with the least amount of votes would send a member home. Team Bruno won the season and a recording contract with Hollywood Records. Two of the team's singles, "Fallin' in Love" and "Come With It" were released for purchase on iTunes.

Another dancing reality show that scored big with the fans was "So You Think You Can Dance." "So You Think You Can Dance" premiered on Fox in July 2005. The show was created by "American Idol" creators Simon Fuller and Nigel Lythgoe and the format is similar except they search for the best amateur dancers. Nigel also serves as a judge on the show as does ballroom champion Mary Murphy. The third judge of the show rotates between such highly acclaimed dance professionals as Debbie Allen, Tyce Diorio, Mia Michaels, Dan Karaty, Napoleon and Tabitha D'Umo, and Mandy Moore. The top 20 dancers are put through physically and emotionally taxing training as they must learn all types of dance, including the waltz, hip hop, contemporary, and salsa. The winner of the show receives a new car, a cash prize, and a role as a dancer in a major show.

One of the newest dancing reality shows is MTV's "Legally Blonde The Musical: The Search for the Next Elle Woods." This show offers ten hopefuls the chance of a lifetime - to perform as Elle Woods on Broadway in "Legally Blonde The Musical." The girls must be able to act, sing, and dance as well as embody the true spirit of the Elle Woods character. They are judged by actor Paul Canaan (who performs in "Legally Blonde The Musical" on Broadway), Heather Hach (who wrote the Broadway version of Legally Blonde), and choreographer Jerry Mitchell (who also directs the show), and casting director Bernard Telsey. By the end of the season, one lucky girl will become the leading lady of a popular musical on Broadway.

The dancing reality shows are fun to watch and may even peak viewers interest enough that they learn to dance themselves. However, there are also benefits for the dancers also. For the celebrity performers, a dancing reality show can bring about a renewed interest in their career and also help them lose weight. For the amateur dancers, even just making it to the top 10 or top 20 of a show like "So You Think You Can Dance" can open up many doors for them to further their dance career.

HOW TO AUDITION VS. HOW NOT TO AUDITION by Angelo Pagan

Many actors wonder what the "rules" are for auditions. Some believe that there are hidden requirements or standards that must be met. The truth is that auditioning is a fairly straight-forward process, and there are some simple guidelines to follow.
First, here are some things you SHOULD do:

1. Dress the part - Before you go to the audition, you should know who your character is, and have figured out a little bit about that character. As such, when you go on the audition you want to look as close to that part as you can. If you know that you are auditioning for "Computer Nerd" then you probably want to look like that, not like a hip hop gangster rapper. This does not mean that you have to costume yourself exactly as the part reads in the script, because no one appreciates that guy who shows up dressed like a fire fighter carrying an axe, but you should endeavor to get close.

2. Know your lines - In most cases, you will be given sides (script pages that casting directors want to see performed.). Always know those lines cold when you go in. The more you have to read the lines off the page, the less the casting director will see your talent, and the less likely you are to get the "callback." Keep the sides (script) in your hands. Casting directors do not appreciate actors that forget their lines and have no reference point. The "can I start over?" is usually the kiss of death.

3. Be Professional - That means arrive on time or a little early, be courteous to the people around you, deliver your audition, and leave promptly. That's right! Say your lines and get the heck out of the room! Don't try to stick around and get chatty with the producers. Trust me, if they want you to do more, they'll stop you from leaving.

4. Make sure you have the right materials - When going on auditions, always bring your headshot (color only) and resume. In fact, you should bring a few copies, in case more are needed. Also, make sure your resume has your acting website on it (you do have one, right?) so that the casting director can learn more about you and see more of your work.

Now, here are some things you SHOULD NOT do:

1. Don't be "overly in character" - If you are auditioning for the role of a superhero, don't show up in the cape and tights. Of course you want to show that you can play the part, but you don't want to overdo it. You simply want to demonstrate your ability so that the casting director can see that you can play the part well.

2. Don't be rude or discourteous - Treat everyone with respect and admiration, and you'll find that this whole process is a lot more fun. This includes the other actors in the lobby - sure, they are competing with you for the role, but that doesn't mean that you can't be nice to them. The golden rule ("Treat others as you yourself want to be treated.") applies here. Keep in mind that some actors prefer to keep to themselves as they are concentrating on the business at hand. Not everyone wants to hear stories about dating life or how to better care for your cat!

3.Don't be late - Casting sessions run on very tight schedules. They expect you to be on time, so make sure that you are.

4.Don't complain about anything - Casting sessions are not glamorous. They run late, the chairs can be uncomfortable, the parking can be problematic, etc. There are certainly plenty of things to complain about, but don't do it. Take the high road. Find something to admire instead.

And last, and most importantly, have fun! Remember, this is your chosen profession. Auditions are part of that profession, and the better you get at them, the more work you'll book.

Sugarbullets Amplified Rock T-Shirts by Sugarbullets

The mood has lightened over at Amplified, home of Vintage Rock t-shirts. The dark and slightly noir skulls, snakes and heavy rock bands have been replaced by brighter graphics in bold and bright colours. Dare we say it, Amplified has come over a bit ‘disco’ with its Studio 54 range of designs that play homage to the legendary 70s nightclub. ‘Super Dance’ blazes across the front of t-shirts in bright rainbow colours. Even their iconic Run DMC and Beastie Boy t-shirts have been given the ‘fight in a paint factory’ treatment. Moving away from their signature distressed t-shirt in Charcoal; the new collection sees the use of designs on bold block colours of Washed Red, Washed Blue, Aqua and Lemon, amazing colours that can’t fail to put cheer into the step of any clubber. The Happy Mondays and Blondie designs stay; the Blondie design is updated by taking her portrait and blowing it up huge to cover the entire t-shirt front.
Because Amplified wouldn’t be the same without it, the famous Rolling Stone Licks t-shirt stays but is executed in the same rainbow colours as do their famous Vintage rock t-shirts

Here’s a quick run down of some of Amplified’s great ranges of rock t-shirts

Studio 54 Rock T-shirts

254 West 54th in Manhattan AKA Studio 54, the ultimate party venue that became synonymous with the disco age. The Embassy of Hedonia, it was the place to be seen for everyone from Mick Jagger to Zsa Zsa Gabor, Elton John to Dolly Parton, and of course, the girls of Sex And The City! You’d find party animals in tuxes, tutus and tinsel-trimmed costumes, there was Rollerena the transvestite in her wedding dress and roller skates, Disco Sally, the septuagenarian party girl and the man who dressed as a surgeon and gave hits of laughing gas to anyone who wanted one. It was without a doubt, the ultimate place to party and with our fabulous range of tribute tees, the legacy continues....

Blondie Rock T-shirts

One of the most popular bands of the New Wave era, Blondie hit the scene with visually arresting frontwoman Debbie Harry. Her bleached-blond hair and full, pouty lips made her look the part of a new age Marilyn Monroe with a hint of punk hauteur. During the late Seventies and early Eighties, Blondie had eight Top Forty hits, including four that went to Number One, “Heart of Glass,” “Call Me,” “The Tide Is High” and “Rapture.” No other New Wave group had that many chart-topping singles but their ability to strike the balance between edginess and catchiness meant that they enjoyed many hit records and artistic credibility - a best-of-both-worlds situation that few others pulled off in that era. Our range of classic tees pay a perfect tribute to the legendary band, as seen on celebrities like Fearne Cotton and the Sugababes, get yours now and you too can reminisce in style.

Run DMC Rock T-shirts

Run-D.M.C. took hardcore hip-hop from an underground street sensation to a pop-culture phenomenon! Although earlier artists, such as Grandmaster Flash and the Sugar Hill Gang made rap's initial strides on the airwaves, it was Run-D.M.C. that introduced hats, gold chains, and untied sneakers to youth culture's most stubborn demographic group: white, male, suburban rock fans. In the process, the trio helped change the course of popular music, paving the way for rap's second generation with classic tunes like It’s Like That, Hard Times/Jam Master Jay and their hugely successful cover of Aerosmith's Walk This Way.

Beastie Boys Rock T-shirts

The Beastie Boys were the first white group to offer a successful send-up of rap. After emerging from New York's hardcore punk underground of the early '80s, the group crossed over into the mainstream in 1986 with its first full-length album, Licensed to Ill, the first rap album to hit #1. Featuring "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party)" and "Brass Monkey,” the album sold 720,000 copies in six weeks, becoming one of Columbia’s fastest-selling debuts ever. By the late '80s, the Beastie Boys’ sound had begun to mature, expanding into spaced-out funk and psychedelia, yet retaining its adolescent charm and hit-making sensibility.

Eight T-shirts & Clothing

To celebrate this years Olympics, Amplified have designed a range of t-shirts featuring the best of the Olympic logos called ‘Eight’. Dating from the 50s to the 80s the graphics, especially the ones from the 60s and 70s, are retro yet surprisingly modern.

Printed in flock on a choice of two background colours, pale blue or white, the collection features 15 designs printed in a number of colour ways.

Whether you have an eye for a great t-shirt or you’re one of the genuine fans who will work tirelessly this summer to skive off work in order to watch and support the super-fit sporting elite, this collection will definitely be one of your wardrobe staples.

The collection will develop with the inclusion of luggage and accessories by Autumn Winter 2008. Amplified will also look at releasing a range of t-shirts featuring logo’s from failed Olympic bids and US major league soccer club logos to continue the sporting theme throughout the autumn. You could be forgiven for thinking that Amplified are trying to clean up their Rock and Roll image. Amplified Kids Rock T-shirts & Clothing

Amplified's fabulous range of childrenswear is strictly for the coolest kids on the block! Check out our huge range of tees, hoodies, bibs and onesies below and get ready to spoil your mini rocker!

Everything You Need to Know About Drums by Mark James

Everything you need to know about Drums. "Surely it can't be EVERYTHING?" Nope, everything. History of the drums, famous drummers, makes of drums, the best drums, everything. Drums actually have a very important role to play in music. Not only are they the entire structure and foundation of rap and hip-hop, I'm pretty sure that if you listened to your favourite rock or pop song without the drums, it would sound rubbish.
The drums have been around as far as anyone can remember. They appeared as far back as 6000BC - pretty incredible for a modern musical instrument. Drums are membranophones - instruments which create sound when beaten with some type of object. Common myth is that the body of the drum creates the sound - but it only acts as an amplifier. The membrane stretched across the top actually produces the sound. (vibrations). Drums have always been used for more than just music. Religious purposes, Tribal celebrations, in War, Warnings, and messaging.

Drum KITS, as in a group of various toned drums and symbols, were first seen in marching bands and parade bands in New Orleans. Double drumming was a term used for drummers when they played more than one drum at once - something very common now. Early designs has cowbells and wooden blocks, and then in the 1930's the standard drum kit took shape. The standard drum includes:

- A bass drum and foot pedal - Snare - Tom toms - A Hi-hat cymbal - Large hanging cymbals.

In the 1960's rock band drummers began to change this, by expanding it. An extra bass drum, more symbols - people had gotten skilled enough to require more thing to play with. Electric drums were created, and it is arguable that this is where modern synthesized drum beats used in songs originated from. What's next for the drum? Who knows. Maybe it's time to start adding more. After all, the sky is the limit.

Famous drummers are rather well recognized. Ringo Star, Neil Peart, John Bonham all belonged to famous bands and are now recognized as legends. Some have great drum solos which are also recognizable. My favourite drummer? Chad Smith from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. But it's not my opinion that mattters - the greatest drummer of all time according to polls is Neil Peart. His drumming is unbelievably fast, and he is rhythmically strong. He's maybe not as strong with the beat as John Bonham but is he is faster. The strange thing is that Neil Peart was inspired by 2 people - Keith Moon - and John Bonham.

I'm not saying Neil Peart is definitely the best drummer of all my time - like i said, my favourite is Chad Smith - you can make your own decision.

In terms of famous makes of drums, you're looking at Yamaha, Remo, Tama, DW, and Premier. Again, there are more but these are some of the biggest.

So the drums have come a long way and have a long way to go. They've around since the dawn of man - and they aren't leaving soon, considering they are the foundations of most songs. They are more that just instruments - they can be used as a variety of things. And with these aspects of the drums in mind there have been some serious masters brought up and seen.

Without drums music wouldn't be what it is today - try listening to your favourite song without drums, you'll see what I'm talking about.

Moneymaking and the Power of One by Scott Phelps

One of the great fallacies of moneymaking ideas is that in order to gain the most success you have to do many different things well. You don't. In fact, you might have more success by doing just one thing, but doing it better than anyone else.
That's not to say that diversification is a bad idea. Many individuals find enormous success conducting their business in a role of diversity. This article simply looks at the idea of providing a singular item that is so desired that multiple businesses and individuals will insist on using your product.

Consider a bakery that specializes in making the best hoagies available. Local delis will use that bakery exclusively for their bread. Customers come to expect the fresh taste. Larger bread suppliers can't match the experience.

Consider a couple in Utah that makes exceptional Marble Solitaire sets. Handcrafted from wood these heirloom quality sets are well received by customers and provide a great living for this couple.

Consider the book publisher that only specializes in books for children. They don't get confused about their market. They are totally focused on their specific market and in knowing how to manage the details associated with getting quality products to their target audience.

Would you expect a radio station to play a little bit of jazz, some bluegrass, a dash of hip-hop and some 1980's metal back to back? Maybe there are some that would like that, but for the most part we tune into radio stations or satellite radio because we are looking for a specific music type.

Some individuals will thrive best in a moneymaking business when they can determine whom they are targeting and then work to be the best provider of a singular item they can be. It's possible they may branch off in new directions at some point, but the truth is these individuals have an enormous opportunity to be successful by producing a highly desired niche product.

You should know that if you are successful at one thing there would likely be those who will try to duplicate your success by becoming competition. This doesn't need to be seen as a bad development. If anything it should encourage you to become even better at what you do. If you started the business first you likely have a trust advantage over any other competitor. That doesn't mean you move into a position of coasting. Rise to the challenge and become even better.

If you make peanut brittle make the best peanut brittle possible. If you design tires make the safest tire possible. If you are one of the best landscape designers then constantly impress us.

A singular focus can be bad in some instances. However, when it comes to a business idea it allows you to laser focus your time and energy to making an exceptional product instead of many products that may be perceived as mediocre.

When I say Krispy Kreme you think of doughnuts - not pizza. When I say Kroger you think of groceries - not insurance. Businesses find ways to brand their unique nature. And while some businesses grow in diversity others excel through the power of one.
