Purchasing the right Canon Digital Camera

By Tim Harris

Most Canon Cameras have comparable features but still they can be classified under six different categories. They fall under: (1) Super Compact Cameras (2) Compact Cameras (3) Full Featured Cameras (4) 5 Megapixels ultra zoom Cameras (5) 8 Megapixels ultra zoom Cameras and (6) The Digital SLR Cameras.

The correct camera to buy will ultimately depends on your particulars needs. If you are a professional Photographer, then the Digital SLR or ultra zoom camera will be a more suitable choice for you as these types of camera allows you to install telescopic lenses and allows you to shoot clear and sharp images from a distance. The only setback is that these types of camera are quite bulky as compared to the compact cameras which are the pocketable type. If you are just looking for something just to point and shoot, then the super compact or the compacts will be good choices as they offers the best values in terms of features which are geared towards the occasional normal use.

Super Compact Cameras like the Canon SD 10 are designed with portability in mind. They are very small in size and because of this have limited features only. They do not have manual settings and are fully auto. The camera will choose to set the aperture priority or exposure level by itself. Focal length is fixed and the cameras have only two or three times zooming ability. Next in line, slightly larger than the super compact is the compact range of cameras. These may have limited manual settings as some of the features of the cameras. Their zooming ability is slightly higher than the super compact too like 3 to 4 times zooms.

The Canon full featured cameras in the mid range category of the canon line of cameras. More expensive than the compact range, they are still cheaper than the ultra zooms and the SLR range. Being partially automatic, they have manual settings to let the user override some of the auto features of the camera. As such without being overly complex or simple, this type of camera will be ideally suited for the amateur photographer.

The Ultra Zoom Camera in the Five Megapixels range has optical zoom ability of 5 to 10 times. In addition, many have electronic viewfinder instead of using optical viewfinder. Beside from having a big range of auto exposure settings, they also allow the camera to be manually set. The ultra zoom Canon EOS 1D Mark II with 8 megapixels is more costly due to the fact that it has bigger digital sensor element. This allows the camera to take pictures with less noise interference. Apart from this, the 8 megapixels and 5 megapixels cameras are comparatively the same in features. This category of camera also has a range of optional accessories and with the accessories, you will have the ability to customize and adapt the camera to your preference. For example the horse shoe feature let you install an external flash to suit you added photographic needs.

At the end of the scale, is the Digital SLR camera. The Canon EOS 10D although looks like a traditional film based camera, is a high tech piece of digital photographic equipment. Besides from having the largest digital sensors, the digital SLR is also extremely expensive. Their body makeup allows you to swap lenses around, even those meant for a 35mm film camera. With this ability in mind, what you ultimately will buy depends not just on your needs and to a certain extent what you have as well. - 2361

Comcast Makes Continual Upgrades to Cable TV

By Rachel Smith

Cable TV has had a less than stellar reputation in the past, but there are some things that Comcast is doing (and has done) that make cable TV worth looking into again. The most basic thing that Comcast has done was to embrace digital TV technology. This may seem pretty elementary, but it actually has some pretty far reaching implications. For example, using digital TV to transmit TV programming has the benefit of allowing each video stream to be compressed so that it takes up less bandwidth. When each channel takes up less bandwidth, a cable TV company like Comcast can fit more channels over the existing cable infrastructure without having to replace it or add more cables. This compression technology makes Comcast able to provide over three hundred channels, making it at least as good as any satellite TV service.

Another thing that digital TV allows Comcast to do is to provide a better picture. Any time that TV is transmitted it picks up a certain amount of interference. Even if it happens to be transmitted over buried cables, it still picks up the interference of cosmic rays or something. This inevitable interference translates into a fuzzy picture for any video that's been transmitted more than a couple of hundred feet over a cable.

The good thing about digital TV is that a digital cable receiver can tell the difference between interference and the real signal, making it easy to clean all of that picture ruining crud out of the signal. The same thing works for sound too.

Digital TV also allows companies like Comcast to provide access to other technologies as well. For example, it's now possible to provide an interactive on screen program guide with digital TV to allow viewers to see what's available for them to watch at any given time. It even includes descriptions of the TV shows and movies that you have to choose from. This is a great way to keep track of all the hundreds of channels that Comcast no provides. Digital TV also makes parental control software available as well. Parental control software can be programmed to filter out specific types of programming that you may not want your kids to view. Then, before each program comes on, the software will check to see that it meets you criteria before allowing it to be displayed.

Digital TV also forms the basis for higher tech features like HDTV. HDTV is a great new way to watch TV because it provides an even sharper picture than regular digital TV along with a great sound format. Comcast has been especially ambitious about implementing new HDTV channels to the point where it's extremely competitive in the number it offers.

Comcast is taking advantage of digital technology in another way with the implementation of Switched Digital Video. Switched Digital Video is a new technology that will allow Comcast to provide a virtually unlimited number of channels- including HDTV channels- by making even better use of existing bandwidth.

All of these things make Comcast a good alternative for cable TV. - 2361

How to Increase Your Voice Range

By Elizabeth Schohl

Every singer has a special range where they can sing the best. If you try to sing up in the higher range, you will know that your voice will not sound as lush or intense because it will tend to sound like a falsetto. If you can hum in a certain range, you will note that if your mouth is closed humming your singing will be the same with no falsetto voice.

Only your favorite singer can sound exactly like themselves as no one can copy their trademark sound exactly. Keep in mind that you can practice and spend time to sound like them or get the same range, but your own voice is your sound. Learn how to work with your voice and cultivate your distinctive sound which people will learn to know.

If you want to increase your range you have to practice, no question about it. It sounds boring and tedious but remember that nobody ever stepped on stage the first time and became a star. They worked at it and practiced until they didn't want to even perform but when you hear them you think that you could do that too.

There are a couple of things that you can do to increase your range such as practice speaking, read something and fluctuate your voice so that it rises and falls with the words your reading. You'll notice that when you're excited your voice gets higher and thinner and when you have a cold your voice is lower. You can do the same thing with your voice to train its range.

Reading some children's stories is a great way to express your voice and expand it past what singing can do. You're teaching your voice to expand but not to break, when you lower your voice you're teaching it to relax. Your voice has a memory that tells your brain how far you can stretch your vocal cords before they separate and start to use your falsetto voice.

Try to teach your voice to relax as your vocal cords attempt to reach higher notes. One way is to practice speaking in a dramatic, almost musical way so that your voice gets used to higher pitches. It is possible you may learn to to sing higher pitches as a result.

Don't attempt to make your voice singer higher or lower than it can really go, as it may precipitate harm to your voice. The use of bad habits such as repeated abuse of the vocal cords will prevent the vocal cords from healing. Singers cannot afford to weaken their voice as they need their voices for speaking as well as singing.

If you practice properly you'll find that your vocal cords will begin to react to your requests. You'll hear a difference when you try to hit the higher notes which aren't really that high. Your vocal cords have adjusted to being loosened to allow you comfortably reach those higher notes. - 2361

Comcast Updates Cable TV Technology

By Rachel Smith

There are a lot of benefits to upgrading your TV service to a more modern type of programming package, but you may be confused as to which kind of company to go with for your TV programming. This is understandable as there are a lot of different TV service providers out there and even more choices of packages offered by them. One thing that you should keep in mind when making your decision is that there are cable TV providers that can offer the same level of service as any satellite TV provider, and actually offer an improved level of service in many different areas. Comcast is one such cable TV provider.

Comcast has adopted a variety of new technologies in order to build a better cable TV service. The most basic technology that Comcast has adopted- and one that makes a huge difference when it comes to the level of service that it can provide- is digital TV. Now that Comcast has abandoned the old fashioned, now obsolete, analog TV signal in favor of an all digital one, it can provide a number of different options that were impossible with the analog transmission format. The two most obvious examples are an interactive program guide that can be navigated through right on the TV screen and the incredibly clear picture produced by the ability of a digital TV receiver to cleanse a digital TV transmission of interference that can crop up even in signals that are transmitted through underground cables. One of the less obvious benefits comes from the fact that digital TV signals can be compressed using special software so that they don't take up any more bandwidth than absolutely necessary. This translates into more room for more channels because of the fact that each channel takes up less of the total bandwidth available for the transmission of TV programming.

This video compression technology has made a big difference when it comes to Comcast's ability to offer more channels and therefore be competitive with other TV service providers. In fact, Comcast now offers over two hundred and seventy five channels in its largest programming package.

Another major benefit of digital TV technology that Comcast is in the process of implementing is Switched Digital Video. Switched Digital Video allows a digital TV receiver- like the ones that Comcast supplies to its subscribers- to request a specific channel so that Comcast only has to send one channel at a time over the cable. In other words, since only one channel is transmitted over a cable at any given time, bandwidth is no longer an issue, and Comcast can provide a virtually limitless number of channels to its subscribers. This can even include the bandwidth consuming HDTV programming that is more and more in demand all the time.

Switched digital video is also closely related to video on demand technology which is another area that Comcast specializes in. Video on demand technology has the huge potential of providing TV viewers what they want by giving them full control over what they watch and when they watch it. Video on demand technology is also something that satellite TV technology can't do very well.

In all of these ways, Comcast makes cable TV a serious option for anyone who wants a first class TV service. - 2361

Picking The Right Cell Phone

By C R Bolden

Considering the innumerable varieties of cell phones in the market, it is quite a challenging task choosing the right cell phone. However, the basic criterion of selecting the best cell phone is to be absolutely clear about what your needs are. The best cellular phone is the one that is absolutely right for you. And, of course, you can only have the best and right cellular phone when you pay for what you want.

Tons of offers are also available. There are free cellular telephone offers, prepaid cellular, digital, mobile, web enabled and many more. No one can tell you which cell phone is best for you because every one has different needs when it comes to their cellular telephone. Some people want absolutely basic features while others want a lot of totally fantastic features. Some need a cellular telephone for e-mail, faxing and surfing the Internet. Many people want it to be top of the line while others prefer simplicity.

The process of buying a cell phone is so confusing. There are simply so many different handsets, networks, deals and call costs to consider that buying the right phone for your usage and budget can be very difficult.

Here are a few tips to help you choose the best cell phone. First of all, decide how much you want to spend and be clear on the features you need. Remember that the more the features, the higher the cost. Purchase a battery with a decent battery life and judge the mobile phone by the talk time it gives. The bare minimum should be 2 hours of maximum talk-time plus 90 hours of maximum standby time.

Shop and compare for pricing and service. These days, quality phones are very cheap. There is a proliferation of cell phone makers including Nokia, Motorola, Ericson, Siemens, Samsung, Sony, etc. More importantly, cellular plans have come down enormously in overall price with some caveats.

Some standard features include caller ID, phone book with fast dial, call waiting, voice mail and auto-answering. Some also have other added features like your first incoming minute free. The high-end cell phones will have voice-a ctivated dialing, SMS, 2-way paging, games, scheduling calendars, digital organizer and all the standard features. The main thing is to see what fits into your life style best and also to be sure when and if the features expire.

While making a cell phone and service plan decision, remember that everybody's needs are different. So what's good for your friend may not be the best choice for you. Your best bet would be to search online for websites with good cell phone comparisons in order to get a quality cell phone offer.

To make sure that your cell phone comparisons are complete look at Nokia cell phones, Ericsson cell phones, Sprint cell phones, Motorola cell phones and Samsung cell phones. Research the different free cell phone offers, prepaid cell phones and service plans from brand names like AT. - 2361

How to Create a Music Loops

By SFXsource

Many music producers and video editors today use short music loops as the basis for their productions. Music loops can be of single instruments such as a piano at a specific tempo and in a specific key are often cut in 4 to 16 measure repeatable phrases. They can also be loops of multiple instruments such as a rock band or orchestra. Often loops are in 4 to 16 measure repeatable phrases. The tips below will guide you in creating loops that you can use in your own productions or that you can sell to other media artists as downloadable online products.

1. First, you will want to decide on the type of loop you'd like to create before recording it into your digital audio workstation. You will either want to create a melody loop such as a piano line, or a backing loop such as a guitar strum.

2. Secondly, you need to program or record a performance that can be edited into a loop. You can record the traditional way with a microphone and DAW or use a MIDI based instrument to create material in your computer.

3. Next, you should be ready to use equalization to cut out any noises that threaten the quality of your sample. For example an excellent vocal loop could be destroyed by the low hum of traffic outside your window. But, you can always fix this problem by notching out the low hertz that are contaminating your otherwise perfect recording.

4. Fourth, apply whatever eq or reverb you are going to use and line up the loop three times to burn your first rough sample. Then, take this rough sample and bounce down only the middle loop which preserves the reverb from start to finish and results in a perfectly seamless loop.

5. Bounce down a finished stereo loop at a 48k sample rate at 24 bits. 48k is highly valued as its ready for use in video editing and 24bit will ensure a high quality thus making the loop more attractive to potential licensees.

Follow these tips to build a profitable library of music loops for use in video and multimedia production. - 2361

Anime: An Introduction - Part 1

By Timothy Fraser

Anime is a Japanese variation of the English world animation and is applied to all forms of Japanese animated material, whether they are film or television. Although used to describe all kinds of animated material (including western releases) in Japan, Anime is used by the western world to represent those animated titles that originate in Japan.

Traditionally, Anime is hand drawn, but with the advent of computers, more and more are created with CGI elements. But the bandwagon to jump on board has not been as radical or epic as the western studios. This shift from hand drawn to computer generated is still a work in progress in Japan.

One of the major factors that separate Japanese Animation from other animations is the prevalence and abundance of Anime itself. In Japan, there is Anime that caters for people across the social, economic and cultural boundaries. They range from wholesome family films such as titles from Studio Ghibli through to extreme acts of sexual and violent behaviour for those 18 or over. It's this wide range of titles that has garnered Anime such an enormous fan base both in Japan and around the world.

Popular Japanese Manga's are the ancestors of Japanese Anime; again, something that separates the Japanese animated media from the rest of the world. Manga is what can be described as the Japanese form of comic books and is actually more popular in Japanese society than Anime itself. Not only that, it makes up a large proportion of the sales in the Japanese book industry, raking in $4.4 Billion US Dollars in 2007 alone, something that the American and European comic industry envy very much.

Much like Anime, Manga is viewed as more acceptable and mainstream than would be seen outside of Japan. Indeed it's not uncommon to see crowds of people, of all ages and backgrounds, converging upon the local convenience store and browsing the huge selection of Manga every night. And again the content of the titles are all over the demographic scale, with adult oriented Manga sitting next to Pokemon and Doraemon on the shelf. - 2361

Got A Nintendo Wii? Here's How You Can Download Wii Games!

By Scott Frayburn

If you have a Wii in your home, then I'm sure you're eager to get new games for your system!

We've gotten a lot of emails from our readers asking where to download Wii games, so we've decided to help all of you out there with this article.

When you know how to download Wii games, you can save yourself a whackload of cash. You no longer have to run out to the store each time you want to try something new.

Without further ado, this is how you can immediately begin downloading Wii games.

You have two main options that you can choose from:

The First Option - Wii Downloads

There are a couple of websites out there that advertise having free Wii game download that gamers can use. To access these games, they will want you to download and install their software.

It's mighty tempting to go this route, but it's pretty risky!

A lot of these sites are notorious for being infested with spyware and viruses, among other sorts of malware. Some have even been shut down due to the damage they have caused.

This is commonplace at these websites - many users have damaged their computers since the files aren't ever monitored. All sorts of infected files make their way onto these types of sites.

Another issue with these websites is that the speeds are extremely slow. The downloads can seem to take forever - it's not unusual to wait over a day just for one game to finish downloading. There's also a lot of game files that don't even work when you try to use them - the files are "corrupt" so they don't work whatsoever.

We don't recommend using these websites for obvious reasons. You not only put your computer at risk of getting infected but you can also find yourself pulling out your hair from all the time they can waste!

Option Number Two - Wii Game Downloads

Fortunately there's a lot easier and safer way to download Wii games. This option doesn't put your computer at risk and the games are guaranteed to work.

As the Wii has found its way into more homes, some forward thinkers saw the increasing demand for downloading Wii games, and stepped in to fill this void by making Wii download websites. Offering Wii games, videos and other media, these sites are perfect for any Wii owner.

To use these websites you need to register as a member - this will cost you about $50. Once you pay this one-time fee, you can download as many games or files as you want just by logging into the website.

For anyone with a Wii, this will save them a small fortune when building their Wii games library. Just compare with prices in any store selling games. Movies and music are available as well, sweetening the deal.

Setup for these sites is quick and painless, usually taking no more than ten minutes to install and configure the necessary software to get those files onto your Wii where you can enjoy them. Following this article you'll find a link that will let you take a look at the most popular Wii download sites. You can even get a free trial, and see all that these sites have to offer you.

Downloading Wii games is an ideal way to keep your Wii exciting by having all of the latest games. Caution, however: it can be addictive! - 2361

What you should know about tattoo

By The Tattoo Master

Tattoos are produced by injecting ink into your skin. Tattoo artists accomplish this by using an electric powered tattoo gun that almost sounds like the drill a dentist uses. That gun has a needle that moves upward and downward, injecting the ink into the skin more or less 2,000 times per minute. This needle in the gun deflates the skin amedium drop of ink with each puncture.

The tattoo machines used today have several primary parts. The sterilized needle, pipe system, electrical motor, or foot pedal are all right examples. Also, the foot pedal is highly important to a tattoo gun, for it controls the vertical movement that the needle makes. It is more like a pedal utilised within the sewing machine, the only difference is the fact that it controls how the above-mentioned works.

One of the strongest fears involving tattoos is always safety. Tattoo-making machines process by deflating the skin and interjecting ink to the tattoo site. And when we are dealing with puncture injuries, there is always a chance of infection and disease. Because of these dangers, applications of tattoos are always focused on safety. Artists in tattoo fields usually use sterilised equipment, disposable materials, as well as proper sanitation so as to ensure protection for themselves and their clients.

To prevent the chance of contamination, almost all tattoo materials like: ink, ink cups, needles, and special gloves have been for one-time use only. Needles should never be utilized more than once, as they will almost always lead to infection. Many of the single use materials would arrive at the tattoo studio in sterilised packaging where the artist can open it in front of you before he initiates the process.

Just before starting the tattoo procedure, the tattoo artists will often wash their hands with clean soap and water and check themselves for abrasions and/ore cuts. After doing that, they most of the time wash their process area with the proper disinfectants. When they're doing that, they will ordinarily tell you what they will be doing and/ore how the sterilization process goes. Once they have checked the area, they will then get to open their equipment from the sterilized boxes. After the artist has had everything, he will shave the region of the desired tattoo and disinfect that area by water and/or soap.

When he begins the procedure, the pain will all depend upon your tolerance. Many people say that the process feels like being pinched, while others describe it as a little poking with some needles. Your overall hurt tolerance, the location and sizing of the tattoo and the talent of the tattoo artists were all contributing factors to how much pain you will find. The positioning is extremely critical. If you are planning on a nice tattoo in the secret location - it will likely hurt a bit more.

The tattoo artists will wash the tattoo throughout the process, and again once he/she has done. After that, he/she will put some kind of ointment on the just-done tattoo and then cover it. She will also show you how to take care of it and whatever you could and couldn't do. Many tattoo professionals will also provide you one sheet to take back to your house that has detailed instructions on dealing with your new tattoo. If you still have any questions, you should not hesitate to ask the artist when he is showing you your care instructions.

When you go back home, you should surely comply with those directions. Taking care of your new tattoo is really critical and may decide your chance of infection. Tattoos can be a wonderful thing to have, providing that you take care of them. I hope you all know that the tattoo may be sore for a short span of time - however it will be ok in a couple days. - 2361

In Japanese culture the koi fish or carp is thought to be one of the most Vital Fishes. This is because it is always going from one place to the next and dosent stop swimming, often moving the water. some States are trying to minimize the Koi population because of its tendency to mess up streams by stirring up the underlying dirt.

By Markus Katsuo

Because the koi fish is strong enough it can swim up stream. This could be thought of in two ways

The Koi fish is pure resolve - The Koi fish swimming upstream can be interpreted as showing determination because of the fact that the Koi does not "go with the flow". In many ways this shows how to succeed in adversity and challenge even though life is a challenge.

Strength in time of adversity - Koi fish also symbolizes the ability to go forward no matter what the obstacle is. The desire to swim on even if we are being swept along backwards.

In the short story Koi-san by Mukoda Kuniko. it is said that the koi means love and friendship.

Japanese Tattoos include different varieties

Kohaku - a red pattern with white-skinned Koi,

Taisho Sanshoku (Sanke) - a white-skinned Koi with a red and black pattern

Showa Sanshoku (Showa) - a red and white pattern with black-skinned Koi

Tancho Showa, Tancho Sanke, or even Tancho Goshiki

Asagi - Koi with blue scales on its top and red scales on its underside

Shusui - partially scaled version of an Asagi

Bekko -black pattern with red, white, or yellow-skinned Koi

Utsurimono -red, white, or yellow pattern black Koi

Goshiki - mostly black Koi fish with red, white, brown, and blue accents

Ogon - Koi fish that is one solid color, can be regular or metallic; known colors - red, orange, yellow, platinum and cream

Kin Gin Rin - Koi .There are also Gin Rin versions of almost any other type of koi. The name translates into English as "Gold Silver Scales" with shiny scales

Kawarimono (kawarigoi) - Miscellaneous types of Koi

Doitsu-goi - German Carp

Koromo - Koi fish with areas of blue-on edge of scales neatly aligned - 2361

Collecting Genuine Celebrity Autographs

By Mark Turgeon

Throughout, the United States and some parts of the world, people spend tons of money on memorabilia and autographs. People collect all sorts of items from baseball card, antiques, comic books or other knick knack items. Other people collect celebrity autographs and autographed signed memorabilia that can rise in profit.

For years, people were limited to toting their collections from one trade show to the next, or to the nearest convention (which is usually hours away for most). Now, however, with the explosion of the internet and companies like eBay, anyone can sell anything from the comfort of their own home. This is creating a greater trade and purchase market for those in the collectibles niche.

Collecting all sorts of sports cards is a great hobby, but when you get them signed that makes their value rise. Celebrity autographs seem to amaze all kinds of people as if they were signed by a greater power.

Everyday average people sign their name countless times, but their signature holds no value to the collector. When a celebrity signs their name on a specific item the value automatically rises.

The price of a signed item will vary, depending of course on the item as well as who signed it. All celebrity autographs have some sentimental value to someone, but not all of them have the same street value as others.

A great example would be when the band the New Kids on the Block first came to scene, their autographs would be worth some dough. Today as the band made a comeback the value would not be the same when they first came out, but you might get that dedicated fan willing to pay a lot for it. To many ink on a normal piece of paper does not mean much to anyone, but because we live in a society where we have a idolization of celebrities that piece of paper holds a value especially if it was signed by Bob Dylan.

Many celebrity autographs can be found on the internet in all fields which include movies, music, sports, historical, or even political people. If you can not get out to get your own autographs and do not have access to meet your favorite celebrity, you can find just about anything searching online. While searching online always keep in mind if the item is genuine. Do research of the seller along with the signature, by comparing to an authentic one.

With all the great memorabilia out there, it's often hard to tell the real items from the fakes and forgeries. Sadly, people do make a living selling fake celebrity autographs, so you should always find someone who can validate the item and it's authenticity before you pay thousands of dollars for something that is fake and worthless. - 2361

The War Begins - DirecTV vs. Dish Network

By George Gabrielle

It's unbelievable how Satellite TV has made a huge impact on our daily lives. I remember the good old times when I used to watch TV from the local airwaves. While local TV still does exist, my kids don't even know about those kind of things. They've been brought up watching TV from those TV signals that come in from outer space. How cool is that?

Satellite TV has become popular because it is 100% digital. The resulting reception is many times better than cable. Plus, satellite TV offers more channels than cable providers which includes more international and sports programming. Satellite TV also offers high definition TV

There are two major networks that vie for the position of providing satellite TV services. They are Direct TV and Dish Network. As a consumer, it's never really easy to choose from two companies that offer nearly the same products and have nearly the same credibility.

But just like all competitors, these two have slight differences which some subscribers might find as the turning point to guide them with their decision. It really boils down on preferences of subscribers, their specific needs and the present promos being offered.

It would be best, of course, to research fully each advantage and disadvantage of subscribing to each network.

For pricing, DISH Network has a slight advantage over Direct TV. DISH Network has a lower starting package rate. DISH offers a family satellite TV package starting at $19.99 while the competition begins at $29.99. Nevertheless, Direct TV's $34.99 is good for 150+ digital channels while DISH's $32.99 package only covers 100 digital channels.

However, with regards to programming both networks have more than 200 channels in their premium packages. But Direct TV is slightly ahead of DISH when it comes to sports programming. Still, DISH is slowly closing the gap between Direct TV.

The DISH Network has included a lot of sports channels in their packages in that past few years and pretty soon, it would be able to compete head-on with Direct TV. With regards to local channel coverage, both networks seem to satisfy their clients with their local television programming. Both DISH and Direct TV offers excellent coverage but have slightly differences in per month subscription.

If you're going to subscribe to either of the two, you should also look at the cities that both networks have full coverage. DISH Network has access to some cities that Direct TV does not, and vice versa.

Wherever they have access to, DISH and Direct TV can deliver an all digital quality programming right to the subscribers' homes, in airports, in restaurants, in hotels, in offices, in hospitals, and even inside airplanes and automobiles.

Satellite TV comes with it other advanced or sophisticated equipment like digital video recorders or DVRs which allows you to pause and rewind the live program that you are watching.

DVRs also can record any program that you want. For DISH Network subscribers, this additional equipment comes free with their packages while Direct TV charges a monthly fee to have the technology.

Regarding quality of service, both networks offer a 12 month-warranty on all equipment starting on the day of activation. Both also boast of a 24 hour customer support line as well as professional and well-mannered customer and sales representatives.

Now that you're armed with this information, it's time to take the next step. Whatever path you decide to take, both Dish Network and DirecTV offer excellent service. While you might see occasional complaints, you'll find a massive group of loyal subscribers. - 2361

How To Copy Wii Games Using Your Computer And Burner

By Scott Frayburn

Are you wondering if there is a way to copy Wii games? If you are - you're not alone! We have been getting a number of emails about this so we decided to write a quick article about copying Wii games.

There's a good chance that at some point in time you have used your CD burner to copy or burn a music CD. But as you probably know, you can't use the same burning program to make copies of video games.

Why is that?

Nintendo Wii games use a type of 'copyright protection' on them (as do all video games) which blocks your computer from being able to recognize or "make sense" of what is on the disc. Because your computer can't read the disc, it isn't able to know what it is supposed to be copying.

With this problem in mind, certain software companies set out to solve this issue by developing a program that is able to bypass these protections and allow your computer to read Wii games. By using this specialized software, all of a sudden video game discs "make sense" to your PC.

I should point out that this software isn't only for copying Wii games. You can also use it to make copies of xbox 360, PS3 and all other video games that are on a disc.

We did put a link at the bottom of this article where you can find out how to get a free trial of this type of software.

Although the technology behind these programs is complex, using the program is a snap. You just put the Wii game into your disk drive, let your computer make an "image" of it, and then insert a blank CD-R or DVD-R that your computer than copies the image onto.

With this type of software it's easy to copy Wii games whenever you get a new one. It's always a nice option to have and it's incredibly convenient since you get do right from your home computer. One warning though - it's addictive! - 2361

Final Fantasy XIII- Super Hyped Up?

By Rick Ansel

Few games have caught the mind of the entire gaming field than the few installments of the Final Fantasy chronicles. Undeniably the primary franchise of Square-Enix, the Final Fantasy saga has never ceased to disappoint its ravenously faithful supporters with each and every game in the stretched running record of the title.

And now, the world eagerly expects the unveiling of the 13th chapter of Final Fantasy.

What was formerly promoted as a Sony Playstation 3 exclusive is now announced as a double issue for the aforementioned PS3 and Microsoft's extremely booming consoleengine, the Xbox 360, at least for territories remote to Japan.

Final Fantasy XIII initializes in the floating isle-heaven of Cocoon in a revolutionary world greatly influenced by divine-like creatures known as the Fal'cie. On other hand, an contradictory power, known as the Pulse, hangs about below the Cocoon, spreading threat, obscurity and despair. Both the Cocoon and the Pulse are driven by their own gemstones - high energy sources which have turn into a core in each Final Fantasy game - which one by one developed to core points of the looming clash which will serve as the environment for the gamer's voyage.

Aside from the gemstones, familiar ideas are definite to return, like a toon named Cid, soaring ships, chocobos, leveling themes, summoning and summoned fiends like the Ifrit and Bahamut, forceful fiends like Ultima, and vicious spells like fire, fira and firaga.

The people in the rear of the pictures are also just as familiar. Motomu Toriyama, the director of Final Fantasy X-2 and the director and scenario writer for Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, will be the main director of Final Fantasy XIII. Eiji Fujii, the movie director of Final Fantasy XII, will look after the fantastic CGGs of the 13th chapter. Isamu Kamikokuryo, who shared art directing chores for Final Fantasy XII, will have the lead for Final Fantasy XIII. And Kazumi Kobayashi and Yoshiki Kashitani, veterans of earlier Final Fantasy games, will return as the main programmers for the newest release.

There is a lot to be excited about with Final Fantasy XIII. The battle system is truly unique. Vanished are the laborious random encounters as well as the slow turn based system of previous games. Final Fantasy XIII will utilize a dynamic encounter system that will play like an actual time encounter system, much similar to the hack and slash games recently. The visuals are said to be the top, not only when it comes to other parts in the chronicles, but also when compared to other games for this generation of consoles.

Final Fantasy XIII will be available in Japan come 2009, and a US issue is certain to come a few months thereafter. - 2361

The Parent Trap: On the Disney List

By Fabian Toulouse

Disney is synonymous with family entertainment. From theme parks to resorts to cruises and more, parents can rest assured their children are exposed to quality content and entertainment. Films like THE SHAGGY DOG, FREAKY FRIDAY, and HOMEWARD BOUND all come to mind -- and that's not even touching the animated features. The latest in the long line of family-friendly titles is THE PARENT TRAP.

Both the original and the re-make of THE PARENT TRAP were loosely based on the novel by Erik Kastner entitled "Lottie and Lisa." Though the location and some other elements were changed, the essential plot remains the same. The book was actually the basis for many genre movies. The differences between the book and the film are minor, with the film focusing more on the children trying to get the parents back together.

In 1961, Disney adapted the book into a film starring Hayley Mills, Maureen O'Hara and Brian Keith. In this version the girls meet at summer camp and quickly find out the truth about their births. It turns out the parents divorced when the twins were born and took once child a piece. The rest of the film deals with the girls as they embark on a madcap idea to switch places and thus meet the parent they did not know they had. The girls soon learn that their father is about to marry his gold digging girlfriend, a plan they must stop. After some shenanigans and an ill-fated camping trip, the wedding is canceled.

The remake of THE PARENT TRAP remains faithful to the 1961 version, though this latest version has the mother living in London. Furthermore, in this version she is unaware of the twins' plans to sabotage their father's wedding plans. The girls contrive to bring their parents back together by getting them both to the same hotel. Their mother has no idea their father is about to re-marry. They must race against time to get them back together before it's too late.

Soon the twins hatch a plot to switch places, a secret their mother is not too thrilled to find out. When she backs out of the annual camping trip, the twins set about making their father's fiance completely miserable. As in the original version, the girls sabotage their father's fiance in the wild. Sugar-water mosquito repellent anyone? How about a trip down the river whilst taking a a nap? Either version of THE PARENT TRAP is sure to please. They will make a hilarious addition to any home Disney movie list. Just remember which one is which! - 2361

The plethora of choice mostly af varying degrees of product quality and a vast confusing feature array has sent me back to the main players. lcd tv that had a hard earned reputation for quality and transparent consumer uptake statistics was for me. Lackluste product performance will almost certainly drag your enjoyment levels down and eventually your confidence so be very particular with your product purchase.

By TV reviewer 256

You must look for a lcd tv that has verifiable performance and has a reputation as a quality product is a must. Reputation can not be earned without substantial effort and not the least continual high quality product delivery. The good thing for us is that we only need to remember the product name.

From extensive competition has come a great innovators in Samsung Sharp Toshiba Panasonic LG designs. Samsung Sharp Toshiba Panasonic LG operates worlwide and offers more than one category of product within each TV segment. Ingenious engineering innovation along with a liberal use of CAD technologies are all part of the R and D at Samsung Sharp Toshiba Panasonic LG.

Outstanding reputations has ensured rapid sellouts for established manufacturers oflcd tv I have tried so many other offering but all pale in comparison with these products. A hell of a lot of thought has gone into producing these gems and they perform sensationally.

lcd tv are in layman's terms sandwiches made up of liquid crystal pushed in the space between two glass plates. Differing electrical charge applied over the crystals produce the required images. Manufacturing efficiency and ease result in lower production costs for hd lcd.

lcd tv gave great results from day one and has been a viewing pleasure ever since. Such a large picture of great quality really made me feel comfortable in selecting this platform. My viewing pleasure has been completely changed after this acquisition.

Screen pixel concentrations provide an excellent high definition experience with LCDs. Power usage is reduced considerably and a 60000 hour lifetime are some of the LCD benefits. lcd tv save you the misfortune of screen burn and will also benefit your back when moving them due to their lighter weight.

Ensure your product assessment is reasonable and researched before you purchase to ensure you dont pay too much fo features you dont want. Consider your operating environment carefully or you may well and truly have that oversight returned with poor performance results due to poor matching. Careful design innovation and extensive product experience have resulted in a very wide viewing environment for the lcd tv

Dont get caught out by the shonks when you purchase and always ensure you are happy with the suppliers reputation. Dont get caught in the scams if the tv deal is too good then there is probably a good reason.

Buying Karaoke CDGs & DVDs For Your System

By Jackie Sun

When establishing your own karaoke library, there are a number of certain elements you must look out for when choosing the correct karaoke CDs and DVDs. The greatest thing to remember is always make sure your karaoke system can handle the right formatting of the CDs or Dvd Discs that you are buying.

While virtually all karaoke systems are able to handle most data formatting, and most karaoke CDs and DVDs work on most systems, it is advisable to double determine to insure that your purchases will not be done in waste. If using a more modern karaoke system, nearly all are able to address almost all formats karaoke CDs and Dvd Discs, but by going through the formats it will handle it will make sure you are not frustrated when it does not function. By simply double-checking, you can set your mind at ease and be assured that your purchase will work without a headache.

If you need to start your own individual music karaoke library by buying karaoke discs, make sure you select the ones that you know will be used. While most individuals would like to have a full library that covers all music styles and music genres, it can become valueless to buy a number of tracks that you have no interest in ever singing.

A better ideal is to only buy karaoke cd discs and dvd / cdg discs that contain karaoke tracks you are looking for. In this aspect assure that your purchase will be put to good use instead of merely collecting dust. Still if you are somebody who is perpetually throwing karaoke get together parties or inviting friends over to enjoy your karaoke player, make sure you get titles that have some form of generic appeal of the singing group.

Don't worry as there is nothing improper in having your own personal collection of favored karaoke songs, but if you are a huge fan of country and your friends cannot stand it at all, it can make your karaoke parties a little bit lackluster.

Lastly, there is something you must constantly remember when deciding what karaoke CDs and Dvd Discs you are purchasing is what you will get the most pleasure out of. If your aim is to practice singing in karaoke night, then look for unique titles that contain tracks that you will sing, but if you wish to use your karaoke player for a bit of social fun, look at collections or karaoke Dvds that encompass a deep range of songs. That way everyone can get into the fun. - 2361

Why Hairstyles are important for your Quinceanera

By Angela Beltran

Can you imagine how many hairstyle options are out there? It's no wonder people go crazy thinking about how to do their hair. Do some research because you want to look your best the day of your Quinceanera.

People have done the research for you so you are not alone. Choosing the right hairstyle for your quince is one click away and you are almost there.

The length of your hair is an important factor in choosing a quinceanera hairstyle. So here are a couple of suggestions for short hair and for long hair.

For this step you will need to use extra hairspray to tighten up loose ends. Put your hair into 3 ponytails that most would consider low and pin all three down into a bun so that they all blend together. Put barrettes on them and you are set.

Remember to get your friends to fix your hair the day of your Quinceanera because you will not see yourself in the mirror as often. Every strand of your hair will count and will be seen later in pictures taken at your Quince.

Spend some extra money on your hairstyle, your Quinceanera only happens once, you might as well have a good hair day and a glamorous hairstyle. So visit your closest beauty salon and see how much it will cost and how long it will take.

If you hair is curly know that you will have great options. The curlier the better because it shows movement, that is why you will see this style a lot. But if you choose to go curly see if your girls will go with straight hair so that you are the one standing out. You do not want your girls to have a better hairstyle than you. Your backup hairstyle will be the french twist.

Stay away from half pony tails or random chongos. Get advice from other hairstylists in your area and make an appointment ahead of time. Also you may want to get your hair down as early as possible in case you don't like the style you have time to change it. Let me be the first to congratulate you on your Quinceanera hairstyle. - 2361

Even Rock Stars Cover Their Piano

By Chuck R Stewart

A piano cover is a necessity for any person that loves their piano. It is needed as an extra layer of protection in the home. A lot of pianos are not protected from elements. A non protected piano will not look as new as a piano that is properly protected by a piano cover. A piano cover will help protect the piano from unwanted damage. It will protect it from liquid spills, dirt, and even household pets. A piano cover is a very smart investment. A piano cover will extend the life piano, giving a homeowner the extra insurance it needs.

Make sure you are protected. Even Hollywood stars that play the piano for a living should protect their investment. Piano covers do a fantastic job protecting the star's piano as well as the average consumer. Think about it to yourself, what you would choose if you were a big musical star. Create your own. See if you can make a better piano cover that the rich and famous.

Billy Joel is most talented piano players. He has had top 40 hits since the seventies. He has entertained audiences all over the world. He is best known for his first hit Piano Man|His first successful hit was the song "Piano Man". It has become his best known song. Billy Joel's piano cover was designed from his lyrics in the song. I have been told that it was a gift from his former wife Christie. Around his name it has a lot of the characters from the song, John the bartender, the waitress that served him the drinks, and bar patrons Paul and Davy. Billy likes to show it off to his friends and invited guest.

Other rockers have visited him and wanted to get their own conversation piece. Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones has the tongue and lips design that was created by an artist that first appeared on their 1971 album, Sticky Fingers. It is one of the best rock logos that was ever created.

I was touched by former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney piano covers. Paul has several pianos covered by piano covers by his late first wife Linda. She was an artist by trade and designed almost all of the piano covers. Both of them like the outdoors. Her ideas came from the different areas of the world. Paul loved his first wife and they would bring him a lot of joy as they reminded him of her.

Other stars have great designs too. Liberace had one of the most expensive. He was known as a showman. His had a lot of sparkles and rhinestones that covered the entire grand piano. Elton John would write on his with a sharpie marker whenever he had a song idea. Some of his biggest hits were written on that first piano cover. The artist know as Pink had very recognizable cover. It was a very nice but basic design. It was easy to imagine what color she would have. It was very pink! - 2361

Advice on Photographing Landscapes

By SFXsource

There are so many beautiful landscapes. You don't even have to travel outside of the United States, just visit a local or national park! These tips will help you take wonderful photographs of landscapes. Whether you are a beginning photographer, or a professional, these are simple tips to keep in mind when photographing landscapes.

1. It is important to consider light quality. Determine whether the light is soft or harsh. Are you photographing in the afternoon, or at sunrise or sunset? Is it overcast, and are there clouds? Generally, the best light is in the mornings and evening (before 10 a.m. and after 2 p.m.).

2. Look for interesting lighting. Back-lighting and side-lighting are great for mountains. Side-lighting can be created by turning 90 away from the sun. Back-lighting is very dramatic and creates silhouettes.

3. Think about composition. Symmetry often works with landscapes. Also, simple is beautiful. How do you want to place the trees, lakes, streams, and mountains? What kinds of shapes are in the frame?

4. It's great to include bridges, paths and roads. You can use the shapes to lead the viewer into the photo. You can create that effect if you photograph them at an angle. Try placing the beginning of the road or path in the corner.

5. Try using infrared film for your landscape photography. Infrared film is more sensitive to infrared light. This means that your photographs will have darks skies and light/ bright leaves and vegetation. It's awesome!

6. Generally, you will want your entire photo to be in focus, so use a large depth of field (small number, large aperture). Increasing exposure time also increases depth of field.

Try both long and short exposure times, specifically when you have water in your photos (lakes, waterfalls, ocean). So, grab your tripod and have fun with landscape photography. - 2361

Getting Your Passport Quick And Easy

By Trip Wend

Passports are required documents that must be taken with you while traveling outside of your country. It is very important to keep your passport secure. When applying to get a passport there are several pieces of information that must be gathered and submitted for quick approval.

Numerous agencies provide passport information and services on how to obtain, replace, or alter information on a current passport. Making sure you file for the correct passport and provide the proper documents will ensure that you receive your passport as soon as possible.

Getting a new passport requires a little more patience but not much. If you realize that you have lost your passport just go to an office where passport service is offered with two photographs, proof of citizenship, and a valid identity card. The basic information for this process can be found on the internet.

After you have a passport just buy your ticket or make other travel arrangements and you can travel anywhere in the world. Your passport contains basic information about yourself and helps you to be identified by others while visiting their country.

Today we wanted to show everyone how and where you can download Xbox 360 games on your computer.

Because we receive a few emails each week asking about how to download xbox 360 games, we thought it could be helpful to answer the question in a quick article.

Ok - let's get to the good stuff! We're going to cover the two main options that you have for finding xbox 360 downloads.

Option Number One - XBOX 360 Downloads

A lot of xbox users will try to find websites that advertise offering free xbox 360 downloads. There are a few out there and obviously they sound great at first. There are a few important things you need to know before you use them though.

The first warning we always issue about these types of websites is that they are full of viruses and spyware. It's risky business when you download anything from them - you just can't be sure of what you are actually downloading.

Obviously the word "free" here is the problem. There isn't any money being invested into these websites so the technology behind them is pretty weak. The download speeds are very slow and many of the files don't even work at all. When you go to use them they often won't even work since they are "corrupt".

As you have probably already guessed, we can't recommend these websites. They can be a big headache and you put your computer at risk at the same time.

Your Second Option - XBOX 360 Game Downloads

A few companies have seen the growing demand for xbox 360 downloads and have built websites that are dedicated to offering xbox 360 games for downloads. It's not just games that they offer though - you can download movies, music, TV shows and more that you can all use on your xbox.

The whole point was to build a website that let gamers download games without them having to worry about viruses, slow download speeds or faulty game files.

To use these websites you will be asked to pay a membership fee, but it isn't expensive. The fee is usually than the price of one new xbox game (about $50) and this gives you access to unlimited xbox downloads. The membership charge is a one-time only fee that gives you a lifetime membership.

We did include a link at the bottom of this article where you can find out how to start a free trial at a couple of the top-ranked xbox 360 download websites.

The businesses that run these websites are obviously it so that they can make a profit. Since this is the case, they do make sure that they keep all their customers happy. This means you can be sure that the game selection is up-to-date, the download speeds are fast and any file that you download is guaranteed to work.

Star Wars Vintage Toys: An Exceptional Collectible Franchise

By Jared Conley

Everyone believes "their" markets are the "coolest" collectible toy markets, but most fingers point to vintage Hot Wheels, vintage Transformers, vintage Star Wars, and vintage Pez. Out of all of these, Star Wars vintage toys are arguably among the most valuable individually, though with the many Pez prototypes and variations available, Pez are probably more valuable in aggregate.

In 1977, Kenner produced the original line of twelve Star Wars action figures, and this entire line is extremely desirable to Star Wars enthusiasts, each netting over two thousand dollars if still in good condition and in their original packaging. The most valuable vintage toy is argued to be Vlix, a short-lived character who appeared in a Braziliam cartoon. Vlix nets well over six thousand dollars if in great condition.

Contributing to the valuation of these figures is the license exclusivity. For example, Kenner Canada, located in Toronto, Ontario, was the Canadian licensee for Star Wars toys in Canada from 1977 until 1985, but only manufactured about ten percent of the figures at that time. That, in addition to the fact that the Canadian releases were packaged with bilingual packaging, adds an interesting twist to those interested in the collectible value of these toys.

Another interesting collectible item available, but incredibly hard to come by, are figure prototypes. Prototypes and test products are very common in other markets, , but much rarer in the Star Wars market.

While many current Star Wars fans are young, and because there has been a glut of new licenses on the market, these newer toys will likely never attain the valuations that existing vintage toys attained. For example, a new release features Star Wars toys that transform from characters like Darth Vader into objects like the Death Star. These Transformers figures mashups are popular right now, but supply is also high, and the law of supply and demand tells us that this will suppress valuations.

There are also other foreign releases, with the Japanese Star Wars figures being very unique, and therefore, very desirable and very collectible. European toys are also popular and regularly confused with Canadian releases, due to their bilingual packaging. The easiest way to tell these releases apart is by viewing the address on the package, which will clearly indicate the country of origin.

With Star Wars toys, you have a killer movie franchise, a rabid fan base, opportunities to locate unique figures, and much heavier demand than supply. All of these factors lead many professional collectors to believe that Star Wars vintage action figures will retain their value for the long haul.

So dig in your attic, uncover that old Speeder Bike or TIE Fighter, and see if you have a goldmine on your hands! - 2361
