NFL Defender Seymour A No-Show After Trade To Raiders

By Ross Everett

Trades are a fact of life for NFL players. Most players willingly accept their new assignment and try to make the best of it. That's apparently not the case with the Oakland Raiders newly acquired defensive end Richard Seymour. Seymour was acquired by the Raiders on Sunday and as of yet has not reported to his new team.

The trade surprised NFL observers, with the Patriots sending Seymour to Oakland for a 2011 first round draft pick. He had been expected to report on Monday, but was a no-show. There is some speculation that hes doing a de facto hold out in hopes of getting the Raiders to re-work his contract but this hasn't been confirmed by anyone involved.

For the time being, Raiders coach Tom Cable is being vague about the situation. He informed the media that hed spoken to Seymour earlier in the week and that he affirmed his desire to play for the Raiders but then added:

I really have nothing to report on that. Nothing has changed at this point."

He also declined to comment on questions about a potential new contract:

"I don't want to comment about anything of that until we have something that's done and concrete.

Seymours former coach in New England, Bill Belichick also gave his version of a no comment:

"Because we don't have rights to Richard, there really isn't anything I can say about him or his situation. So I'll have to pass on those questions at this time. There's a lot of things that Richard did well but that's the way it is and we're moving forward and our team's moving forward."

Pats defensive coordinator Dean Pees also gave a 'no comment':

"This is not going to be an interview about Richard. It's really about Buffalo and whoever we have here to face the Bills.

As did NFL spokesman Greg Aiello:

"Any comment at this time would have to come from the teams.

Most NFL observers think that the Patriots made the move in order to free up money to negotiate with defensive lineman Vince Wilfork. That has raised concern that New Englands defense has quickly become very young and more problematically without a strong leader on that side of the ball. Belichick isnt concerned:

"We have a lot of good leaders on our team and especially on the defensive side of the ball. No doubt about it, it's different, but I think it's good."

The Patriots open their 2009 NFL regular season on Monday night at home against the Buffalo Bills. The Raiders will also kick off their campaign on Monday night as they host their hated rivals the San Diego Chargers. - 2361

The Secret Of Abundance - How To Manifest An Amazing Life

By Mickie Lake

It is safe to say that the majority of people in the world are looking for a key to change their life. They are looking for the missing secret, that once they have it, it will provide them with all the riches they have every wanted. Most people spend years and countless dollars trying to get their hands on it. Here, right now, you are going to be given that secret. That's right, your search is over. The thought has consumed your mind, pushed you to keep looking to try to attain it and the universe is now delivering.

First, you need to know that an abundant life does not mean you have all the money in the world. To live an abundant life you need three things and they are health, money and relationships. Some people may disagree and then tell you the secret to an abundant life is having money. This is simply not true.

Consider if you had millions of dollars, even more than you would ever be able to spend, but you are in poor heath with only days to live, perhaps spending your days staring at the ceiling, then what good is money to you. If you are healthy yet alone with no one to share your life with, what good, is health to you? All three aspects are essential to live an abundant life.

You need the secret that unlocks abundance so that you are healthy, you have meaningful relationships and you have the money you require. The real secret of abundance is your thoughts and emotions. It is that simple, since it is your thoughts and emotions that create your life. They have the power to influence what you want in life as well as keep you held in your current live.

Many individuals reading this may shake their head and tell you this is a lie. If the secret of abundance depended upon your thoughts and emotions, that everyone would have an abundant life. These individuals are correct. If everyone has the power to create an abundant life, then why is he or she not doing so?

The list of reasons can be very long. However, they all center on one fundamental issue. Most people would rather live as they are and complain about it all rather than trying to live an abundant life. For instance, Donald Trump never felt sorry for himself. Bill Gates never doubted he would be a millionaire. They both knew what they wanted; they never doubted their power to make it so. Their minds were set upon creating an abundant life. They knew they would live an abundant life and they became the masters of their own life.

Even though the secret is simple, you have not reason to believe it is so. Keep in mind that everything around you began as a thought of someone. They simply manifested it into reality. For instance, the pen you use, the car you drive the seatbelts in that car, your front door, the toy your child plays with and even the space shuttle all began as a thought.

What does this mean to you? It means that starting right now you can create the life you want. What you need to do is decide what it is you want. Be precise, you may even want to write it down. Once you have decide what it is you want, you need to look around your life and be thankful for what you have. It may not be ideal or exactly what you want, but if you can't appreciate the things you have then you are never going to have anything better.

Determine what you really want and then permit that thought to overcome you as it burns deeply in your heart, soul and mind. Become excited about it becoming a reality and then allow your emotions to empower that thought. Send an overwhelming message into the universe. You have to believe in what you want and that it is coming to you. While this is happening, you have to learn and do what you need to do to make it become a reality.

The hidden secret of abundance is locked in your head between your ears. It is your brain, your thoughts and your emotions. Change the way you think and you will change the life you are living. - 2361

Save Dough On Superbowl Sunday

By Mallory Megan

Despite the fact that we are in the middle of a recession, and a lot of you are in debt, there is no reason that you can't throw a really great Super Bowl Party.

Focus on not overdoing it. Make just one extravagant dish and play the rest off of that. A vat of chili, if properly seasoned can serve twelve people for twenty dollars. Chicken wings are quite inexpensive and easy to make. Coils of kielbasa, priced around five bucks are a cheap and delicious snack.

Because the Super Bowl is one special occasion, choose hot food. Ordering large trays of Chinese takeout are less expensive and time consuming than making your own food.

kids at Superbowl parties can often be difficult to please. Vegetables, juice, chips, and a carvel football shaped ice cream cake priced at $22.99 will keep them at bay.

Drinks? The best choice for shoppers on a budget is beer and wine. A keg will save you about 40% according to experts. The wine doesn't have to be fancy - a five liter boxed wine will be more than acceptable. If you encounter the troublesome guest who insists on liquor, get discount vodka, a half gallon for just fourteen dollars. Its cheap, and blends with about anything.

Even in tough times, it is essential to make the most of your game-viewing experience. A medium to large flatscreen is completely necessary. But if you don't own one, rent one. Websites list 42 inch TVs for as low as $26.99 a week.

And about those annoying people who don't watch football. A pool for small gifts like a store certificate or CD might inspire people who aren't the least bit interested in football at all if a prize is awarded at the end of every quarter. Try to have experienced fans explain what is going on. Then, sit back, and enjoy your game. - 2361

Bands To Hire: Saving Your Event

By Abi Swinton

When planning an event, everyone wants to create something memorable. Whether you're planning a wedding or a class reunion, any host or hostess wants the event to be positively reflected for days to come. Instead of buying the unnecessary streamers and an extra appetizer, why not invest in bands to hire? It's a guaranteed way to add to the atmosphere and get people tapping their feet. Don't even be surprised if a few cut a rug.

What's the first step in making this a reality? Assess the occasion; you would hate to get a party started and find the background music doesn't fit the mood. If you're thinking about music for a wedding, discuss the matter with both the bride and groom; compromises might have to be made, and it's important to get an idea of the general feel of the wedding and guest list as well. There are so many different kinds of bands available that it won't be hard to find something for everyone. Live music at a reception adds something to the atmosphere that even the best recordings cannot bring to the table. For the bride and groom, they will be pleased to look back and see the outcome of live music as a part of their day.

If the event is any type of party, reunion or otherwise, try to keep it up-tempo. Anything that has a dragging beat will surely bring the energy of the party down and won't be memorable. There will more than likely be a variety of people attending which makes it difficult to peg the type of music that would be the greatest hit; if that's the case, go with classics. A jazz combo that does standard tunes or a small band that specializes in eighties hits will ignite smiles from the attendants as they recognize song after song. You want them to sing and dance along; think karaoke but live.

Don't be afraid to stick with the music that works best with a theme. If it's a class reunion, find bands for hire that play the hits from your graduating year; music that brings on nostalgia are the biggest sensations and leave people satisfied at the end of the evening. If there isn't a theme or specific purpose for the party, try to create one revolving around the music you have in mind. Having a general idea or theme for a party makes it feel more organized to the guests and live music will tie it all together with a party-like atmosphere.

So how do you find a band? Start locally. You'd be surprised at how many musicians surround you and are more than willing to play out and be heard. Shop around on the internet; certain websites hold many musical talents that put samples of their music online for viewers to check out. Search the community for signs and connections; bands want to be heard and will put their information anywhere they can in order to be discovered. Also check local agencies; they'll have promotional materials for you to look at and help decide what band you'd like to hire.

A while before the actual event takes place, make sure to do some sort of audition so there's no chance of a mistake. Without this step of the process you run the risk of being surprised by something unexpected coming out of the band; the day will be busy enough without an error like this occurring. Also check out the image of the band; tattoos and piercing from head to foot may not be what you'd like to see at a formal wedding. Once you have these details covered, you've found your band.

There are pros to hiring professionals. While perhaps a little more expensive than the neighbor's garage band, professional musicians are seasoned and experienced. They've played for various types of venues and occasions which shows in their performance. A band that plays well together will give a solid foundation to a party or event. Since professionals have more experience, they'll also be more flexible; these are the types of bands that can play just about anything on demand, which is a plus for diverse crowds that will have favorites they want to hear.

Although it's a little more expensive to add live music to a special event, the outcome often exceeds expectations. Given you follow the steps in hiring live music, the party will have exactly the extra something it needs to lighten the mood and create an open and friendly atmosphere. It will be refreshing to hear music as it happens rather than the recordings heard all the time. You could even start a trend among your circle of friends once they see the difference live music makes and what it brings to every special occasion. - 2361

How Can I Learn Precognition?

By Crysall Symes

The ability to tell the future is something that sounds like something from a science fiction or fantasy novel, but the truth of the matter is that it is something that people experience on a regular basis. Far from being something that is so out of the world that it is only mentioned in fiction, the concept of precognition is actually something that can go a long way towards helping you figure out exactly what is going on in your head and in the world around you.

Thinking about precognition and how it relates to you and your past and future requires that you keep a few things in the front of your mind.

You should first think about what precognition really is. To be very simple, it is a way that someone can see into the future. It sounds mystical but it really is not at all. There are certain tools to help you gain a higher level of concentration like gazing into a crystal or a still pool of water, maybe even a mirror. Precognition is effective because you are putting in energy from yourself.

Remember that precognition is the ability to sense events before they happen; this is different from deja vu, which is a feeling that you have been there before. Take a moment to think about how these two concepts are different from each other.

You should begin your experience in learning precognition by remembering back to when you have had experiences like this in the past. You almost surely have had experiences in your past that could have been a precognitive event, even if you did not know it at the time. Think about if someone has come to your mind when you haven't talked to them in a very long time, maybe even years. Have you suddenly been thinking about them and then you receive a phone call from them or a maybe even a letter in the mail?

When you talk about it, you'll discover that there are many people who have had this experience. Far from being coincidence, what you are looking at is the bare basic level of precognition that so many people have.

You cannot use the power of precognition to gain you millions by getting the winning lottery numbers in advance. Mostly you will only learn much more about what is happening in the world that you are living in.

While some people believe that their precognitive senses have told them that they should not take a flight or that they should stay home from work on a certain day, it is more likely that the precognition has guided them to do or go somewhere that they normally would not. As an example, you will find that the world is more familiar to you and that you can recognize the patterns that happen in life and how things all work together.

As you begin your path to learning precognition you should first think carefully about when and where you have been most receptive to the precognitive senses. It is possible that you experience these things more when you are on the way to a good night of sleep. There are some that believe that these are simply dreams but as you are drifting into an unconscious state your mind will be more open than it has been in the past.

Your subconscious brain is allowed to open up and come to the front so that you can really see what is happening. There are those that believe that precognitive dreaming happens to people but they tend to get forgotten as soon as the person wakes from their sleep. It may be a better idea to concentrate your thoughts on things that are easier to remember.

If you get a precognitive feeling, write it down. Note the time and place that it happened and what you were doing at that point. This is something that can make a lot of difference to how you choose to move forward with learning precognition; learn more about yourself and what you can do to get the results that you need.

There are many people that begin to learn precognition and if it really intrigues them they have many different resources to turn to. - 2361

Seahawks Dominate Broncos As Both Starting QB Play Well

By Ross Everett

Seattle's Matt Hasselbeck and Denver's Kyle Orton both played fairly well in the first half, but the Seahawks reserves pulled away in the second half. The Seahawks improved to 2-0 on the NFL preseason with a 27-13 win over the Denver Broncos. The Broncos dropped to 0-2 in their exhibition contests.

Hasselbeck completed 16 passes in 23 attempts including two touchdowns, though he was sacked three times. That was a big concern as he missed considerable time last season due to a back injury, but appeared to suffer no ill effects here. Still, the Seahawks starting QB said it was a traumatic experience:

"It's just like I remembered- no fun. ... I forgot how hard people hit in here. It's just like a car accident. It's part of the game ... and it was probably good that it happened."

After a rough opening weekend as the Denver Broncos starting QB, Kyle Orton recovered to post decent numbers. He completed 16 of his first 19 pass attempts including a touchdown before finishing 18 of 26 for 182 yards with a touchdown and an interception:

"I've got an awful lot of confidence right now, I really do. This is the best offense I've ever played with. This is the best talent around me that I've ever had. I just feel that my game right now is as good as it has ever been.

Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels was more reserved in his assessment:

"I think he acquitted himself fairly well. He played, you know, fairly well. There's still obviously room for improvement. But he did what we feel he is capable of doing.

It would have been hard for Orton to have played worse than he did in the Broncos opening NFL preseason contest against the San Francisco 49ers last week"in that game Orton threw three interceptions in his first three drives.

The Seahawks will continue their NFL preseason slate next Saturday against the Chiefs in Kansas City. Denver, meanwhile, will host Ortons old team"the Chicago Bears"and face their former starting QB Jay Cutler for the first time. Seattle will get the NFL regular season off and running on Sunday, September 13th as they host the St. Louis Rams. The Broncos will travel to Cincinnati for a game against the Bengals on the opening Sunday of the regular season. - 2361

A Complete Review Of The Lord Of The Rings The Two Towers

By Shelia Beard

Many people were first introduced to Middle Earth in J. R. R. Tolkien's Book The Fellowship Of The Ring. In order to find out where the story goes, it is necessary to read the sequel. The Lord Of The Rings The Two Towers is the second book in the trilogy. It is a story that in some ways is much more simple than that of the Fellowship, but which is every bit as important and powerful.

The book itself tends be difficult to get through because of the long portions of landscape description. Because Tolkien wants us to have as clear a picture of the terrain through which the characters are traveling, he tends to include a lot of detail. Everything from vegetation to weather is described and while it helps you develop a strong mental picture of Middle Earth (where the series is set), it can be hard to get through for many people. However, the slower portions tend to be balanced by shorter sections that depict great action such as important battles and sieges.

It is for this reason that the movie version, released in 2002 and directed by Peter Jackson, was excellent. Although there have been some criticisms about some of the plot choices that were made in the movie, on the whole it is an excellent film. Like the first movie, Jackson uses a combination of sets, special effects and make-up in order to recreate key locations such as King Theoden's hall in Rohan.

Because the focus in on action and not description, it is harder to ignore the references to the two towers. The first is that of Sauron himself, deep in the heart and darkness of Mordor. The second is that of the wizard Saruman who has fallen under Sauron's control. You see the extent of Saruman's treachery which is first mentioned in the Fellowship of the Ring.

The Fellowship was broken at the end of the first movie due to the attempted theft of the Ring from Frodo by Boromir. The movie is split into two different sub-plots. The first is the travels of Frodo and his companion Sam and the second is the travels of the remainder of the Fellowship. The companions are further separated due to events which occur during the book, and this gives us the opportunity to be introduced to many of the different cultures and races in Middle Earth.

You also begin to learn more about some of the motivations which affect the characters. Boromir, who is killed in the first movie, is from Gondor, a land on the border of Mordor and under constant siege from the forces of darkness. The movie delves into the motivations of the people of Gondor. We are introduced to Faramir, younger brother of Boromir who is desperate to prove himself to his father who serves as Steward of that country.

Although there were some criticisms surrounding the way Peter Jackson treated the storyline, for the most part this movie has been praised. There are so many memorable moments (such as the unforgettable Battle of Helm's Deep) that you are set up to go into the third part of the story with a much better understanding of Middle Earth as a whole.

If you are someone who tried to read the book and were unable to get through it, you need to see this movie. The special effects, scenery and pacing are excellent and make it definitely worth watching. - 2361

Movie Download Sites You Should Be Checking Out

By Ramon Boyd

With the incredible things you can do on the Internet there is no doubt that a lot of people enjoy being able to view movies from your computer. If movies are a big thing for you it probably would be nice if you knew which sites might be the best for you. Below you will find some information on what to look for when looking for movie download sites.

One way you can get an idea of how good a movie download site is, is by reading the reviews from those who review sites on a regular basis and also by those who have actually used the site. A four or five star rating is a pretty good clue that you might have found a good site.

Look to see if one of their features is to allow their members to download their favorite movies and music and then they can burn them for later use. Some sites may even supply their members with a program that will make CD and DVD covers for a professional look.

It is important that they offer a nice P2P software that will connect you to millions of other members from all over. This then makes for a far wider variety of movies, music and games to choose from. You also want to make sure that they offer their members tutorials that can help you every step of the way if you are having problems with anything on the site. Good quality movies is a must, so make sure that you read the reviews closely. Also a nicely designed site is always a plus.

Make sure the site is easy to use with all the software that is compatible with your computer. Check to see when they release new movies, do they come out later than other sites or do they come out sooner than some of their competition. If you like games find out if they allow you to download games, music and other software programs. It is also important that their sign up system does not take forever, signing up should not be a burden. It should be quick and easy so you can get on with using the site.

If you have a good Internet connection you will want a site that will let you download a 2 hour movie in just a short amount of time. But a lot of it will depend upon the quality that you select. It also depends upon how many downloads that you try to do at the same time. So if you are want to download several movies it is probably a good idea if you download them overnight. Also if you are in the middle of a download look for sites that offer software that will let you pause it and come back to it later and continue downloading from where you left off.

Make sure that if you are a person that likes to download several movies at a time that the site allows you to do something like this. Some people do not like to do one movie at a time because it may take a lot longer than several at a time. Make sure that the programs they offer you for downloading are fast enough to do multiple downloads as well.

If you are looking for super speed try to find a site that offers their members a free accelerator You can achieve extremely high download speeds by simply downloading an accelerator. Another important thing to look for is if they have a good customer service. There is nothing like going to a site, have a problem and then find out their customer service is either bad or simply does not exist. Also make sure to see if they have any kind of money back guarantees. - 2361

Movie Download Sites Have Many Forms

By Tara Tillman

When looking for movie download sites, it's important to note that the majority of them are illegal. They are designed to offer movies for free when they should, in some way, be paid for. There are legal ones, however, and they are the ones that are much more highly recommended.

One of the types of download sites is streaming sites. By using these sites, you'll be buffering movie content as you watch it and do so directly on the website. You won't have to download any files onto your computer and you can watch the movie right away. In return, the quality is significantly worse than a fully downloaded movie. Some of them, however, are free to use and are completely legal, but that's because of the many advertisements that are posted on the site.

The legal versions are the ones with all the advertisements. And the term "all" refers to the fact that there are, in fact, a great deal of them. Usually, you'll have to watch the video next to five other advertisements on the page. These advertisements also reduce overall video quality and make the movie take that much longer to load because there is usually a lot that your computer has to load, making the requirement on your computers part that much greater.

This method is called torrent downloading. When downloading through a torrent, your computer is interpreting these information files to allow it connect to many different computers around the world. Each of these computers contains the movie file in question and your computer is taking a little bit of the file from each one. The process is slow, normally taking several hours or even days, but you'll get a better video out of it, since you'll watch it from your desktop rather than the web.

If you plan to use this method, you'll need to have a torrent "downloader" that can read these files. They are able to make this connection for you and acquire the movie within them. The programs themselves are guaranteed to slow down your computer because how how processor heavy they are, and so are commonly run during times when you won't be using your computer, like while you're at work or sleeping.

The illegal methods should be avoided, because of the penalties for using them. Luckily, there are legal methods for downloading movies: sites that are paid for either by membership dues or advertisements. They are more likely to offer better quality movies and (the best part) they're completely legal and the dues that you pay (for the membership sites) aren't all that much in the long run.

Like their illegal cousins, these sites come in streaming and downloading forms. You'll be able to watch these movies directly on their sites or download them onto your computer. The memberships are generally in the form of monthly or yearly dues that you have to pay in return for endless content.

It's hard to pass up the movie download sites that are illegal because they offer a vast amount of content and all for free. Tempting as they are, however, they are illegal, meaning that if you got caught using them, you'll be paying fines like you wouldn't believe, and possibly seeing jail time. That said, the minuscule amount of money you pay for the legal sites doesn't seem so bad. - 2361

The At Home Experience Of Movie Downloads

By Dan Spencer

Go to your favorite local video store and you will probably find that it has gone bankrupt and went out of business. The alternative is those movie box dollar rental machines sporadically located in grocery stores. One bad experience with those and a credit card can be charged unfairly. So really the only viable options are either pay cable movie channels, pay per view or wait for the mail to deliver a movie plan. There is also the option to go digital with movie download sites.

Many sites are now online that offer different ways to watch movies. Some of these sites even offer free movie viewing. Movie libraries that are online do not always have the latest movies. They are a good option to see an old favorite or one that was missed. Not every site has the same movie. If you can not find what you are looking for at one then go check out another one.

If the plan is to watch these movies at the computer then consider the equipment. If streaming movies or downloading them then a high speed connection is needed. Processor speed is also a very important factor. With a slow processor movies will stutter and pause too often while trying to buffer the data. Downloading movies requires a lot of spare storage space. If the plan is to burn a copy to a disc then even more space will be needed. Getting an external hard drive is a good idea for storing a collection of movies without affecting system storage or performance.

There are many different sound systems available for computers. Most are priced reasonably. For the top equipment expect to pay more. Look for a system that has a sub woofer to add some depth to the audio. If building a quality home theater experience then make sure to put some money into the audio system. Surround sound is and the placement of the speakers is important. Check online for tutorials regarding setting up a home theater.

If watching movies on a DVD or blu-ray player is desired then look into a quality burner. DVD burners for the computer are very cheap now. The blu-ray burners are becoming lower in price now. Blu-ray is becoming the standard of movie watching on discs now. With a high quality download the quality should be equal if not better than watching it on a Blu-ray player. A streaming or downloaded moving should be 1080 for the highest quality.

Some sites require payment for downloads, but many times these sites will also give an option to burn the movie directly to a disc, saving you a step later on. With a multitude of websites offering free downloads of software, it shouldn't be too difficult before you find one that will work best for you.

Many mobile services also offer movies for download directly to the phone. This of course means you will have to have a phone that supports this type of media. It is a good idea to make sure you subscribe to a good data plan as well, as many providers charge per kilobyte downloaded, as well as using minutes for internet usage. This may be something you need to monitor closely on teens and kids phones. There are also movies available for download onto portable MP3 players as well. These movies are usually formatted specifically for mobile devices, and don't have the detail that a Blu-ray or DVD does.

Always beware of copyright infringement on Movie Download Sites. Make sure you are using a reputable site and aren't breaking the law. With technology advancing rapidly everyday, these sites are becoming the most cost effective way to watch movies in today's economy. - 2361

Live Bands Provide Great Entertainment

By Gabrielle Allan

As you plan your special event, you will be making decisions about everything from the type of food to serve to the color of the tablecloths. The entertainment you choose is just as important as the meal you serve, which is why you should explore the benefits of hiring a live band for your wedding or party. You do have the option of playing recorded music or hiring a professional DJ, but live bands playing live music add a touch of class and can be that extra special touch that make your event a memorable one.

While playing recorded music is both simple and low in cost, it does not add anything to the ambiance of a special event. It is a simple matter to put together a list of your favorite songs and them play them on a burned CD or from your portable music player, but where is the pizazz in that? For an informal party at home or a backyard pool party, playing your favorite music form your personal collection is a great idea. But for your wedding or anniversary party, an event that you will remember for the rest of your life, you want to do whatever you can to make the event especially special.

There are many professional DJ services that you can hire to play music at your event, but if you are looking to create a certain atmosphere, this is not an ideal choice. When you hire a DJ, you select a genre of music that you like, perhaps request a few specific songs, and then leave the entertaining up to the DJ. What you usually end up with is a play list of generic party songs and a DJ who reads from a scripted document of special event phrases and outdated jokes. If you prefer to bring elegance and class to your event, hiring a live band is a great decision.

A major benefit to hiring a live band is that the people in the band will work cooperatively with you to tailor a set list that will create the perfect atmosphere. There is an appropriate musical style for each portion of a party; while your guests are eating, for example, you want them to be able to chat and visit with the other guests at the table. In this case, your band can play softly and at a lower tempo in order to create a conversational environment. On the other hand, once dinner is over and the time is right to get everybody up and dancing, the band can pick up the pace and play some upbeat, dance tunes to get the party started.

One of the major benefits of live musicians over DJ services or recorded music is that the band you hire will actually want to entertain and please your guests with their performance. True musicians want to play and perform to the best of their abilities, and feel a connection to the songs that they play. DJ services do not share that soulful relationship with the music that they play; they create a play list, hit play, and that is the extent of their performance. Musicians, on the other hand, are sharing their talents with you and your guests, and they want you to enjoy and appreciate the music that they create.

A live musical performance can help create the ambiance that you are looking for, much more so that a DJ and their traveling stereo system. If you are holding a classic, elegant reception, then having a live string quartet playing in the background is much more special than piping Mozart in through a PA system. Live bands create a sophisticated air, and it is hard to resist the urge to get up and dance when there are live musicians playing for you.

If you decide to hire a live band for your event, all you have to do is get online and conduct a simple internet search. There are numerous music booking sites out there where you can enter in your location, type of event, and the type of music you want to hear and the site will create a listing of all of the musicians in your area. You can check out photos and hear samples of their music, then contact the band directly through the information given on the booking site.

You can also seek out live bands by heading out for an evening and taking in live performances at the clubs and restaurants in your area. If you hear a band that you like, approach them after their set to see if they are available for you to hire. However you decide to choose your band, its best to try and see them perform in a live show so that you can see how they interact with the crowd, how professionally they look and behave, and, most importantly, how well they can play. - 2361

You also need to take into consideration the location of your event. If it's too far away, the band could charge you for gas. Knowing the location, you can know what time you can have your event till and what day that venue is open. This is all important as some of them won't let you party past midnight and won't let you have your event until a certain time.

You need to think about what kind of music you want played. There are bands that play slow music. There are some that play quite lively and upbeat music. When you go to start looking into what band you want to have play at your event, then you need to think about what sort of genre you are looking for as well.

2 Interesting Tips To Cut Down On Your Slow Computer

By Bill Orion

Having a slow computer can be very frustrating. If you like me, you are probably trying to do just about everything in order to speed up the process of what it is that you are doing. One of the best ways to do this is to get to your most commonly used applications as quickly as possible. Just think of how much time is wasted when you are looking all over your computer trying to find the applications that you use all of the time.

If you were to add up all of that time spent looking around your computer it would eventually accumulate to a fair bit by the end of the week. So what's the alternative? In this article I'm going to show you two little tricks that you can do so that you will be able to find your applications much quicker.

Let's begine with the quick launch (if you are not sure what the quick launch is, its the group of icons that are right beside your start button). For those of you that don't see a group of small icons right beside your start menu, just right click on the taskbar and select the Properties option. Then just select the "Show Quick Launch" option. Now, in order to do anything you are going to have to unlock the quick launch since it is locked by default. To unlock it, right click on the task bar and select "Lock Taskbar". Now you should see small dotted lines which will allow you to resize it your quick launch. Now all you have to do is to just find the top 3 applications that you frequently use by going through your All Programs list (in the start menu) and then just right click on their icons and select the Copy option. Now go to your desktop, right click and select the Paste option. Now you should see a copy of that icon on your desktop. All you have to do is to just drag it into the quick launch area and the icon should be in bottom right hand corner next to the start menu. So now when start up your computer you don't have to look all over the place for your main programs - there right in front of you now.

Now the next step is to work on your start menu. If you click on your start menu you will notice that there is a faint horizontal line on the left hand side. Everything that is above this line is permanent unless you manually remove them and below this line are programs that you have most recently used. Here is where you are going to add 3-5 programs you use often to the permanent part of the start menu (the top half). Just go to the All Programs on the start menu, right click on the program icon and select "Pin To Start Menu". This will then put it on the permanent part of the start menu so that you can quickly get to them without having to search around your messy desktop.

Another thing that you can do is to spend some time cleaning up your desktop. Only keep icons for programs - everything else, like random files, you should either delete or place into folders so that they are completely organized and in order so when you go looking for them you know exactly where they are. - 2361

The HDTV Antenna Free TV Experience

By Jeff Smith

It is both absurd and next to impossible to accurately predict all the changes in technology that will occur. One can not hope to be right all the time and to foresee the amazing and radical changes that are sure to abound. Even if one tracks the advent of technology with regards to television, using an HDTV antenna as an example, they will see just how amazing technological revolutions can be for humans everywhere.

Long ago most humans felt blessed to own a radio. The thrill of hearing the voices of strangers in the home was something very new and radical. Soon after this advent, the remarkable television was born, and the world has never been the same. The TV changed the way humans communicate, and how news is spread.

One of the reasons that TV was so popular was that it was mostly free. Of course a person had to purchase the actual set, which is a machine that would deliver a broadcast signal into picture form. But aside from this, one simply had to attach an antenna and the magic would stream into their home, without any additional cost. This was the same as the radio, only better, because people could see the humans talking to them.

The quality of the free broadcast signal was as high as it could be at first, which is not saying much, when compared to today. Back then people were happy to get a small thirteen inch glimpse of some grainy black and white footage. They got very few channels, and would hope the signal was clear, but that was the most they could do and all they could ask for.

Over time the groups that make programming and deliver them to homes created a split. Some companies decided they would only sell their channels through a third party provider that charges a monthly rate. Other companies continued to use mandatory government channels that allow people free access to news and information.

One thing that changed for both groups was the quality of the picture and the signal. First came color, then other hybrid technologies of color that supposedly present a clearer and sharper picture. Very recently, hi definition television was invented, and now the world is in a whole new great place where anyone, for free, can get this amazing crisp image in their home.

And this is not some big secret or trick for people to learn. Governments are going out of their way to tell people about this switch. It is easy to do, all it requires is that one purchase the correct antenna, and then they have access to the highest quality of picture ever invented, so far, in the history of mankind and TV. All one must do is purchase this one item.

With all the various movements for increased free access to public communication, one must not overlook the incredible bonus that a free HDTV antenna is for everyone who can access it. This is something that will make it possible for people to see all sorts of great programming in as realistic a quality of picture as possible. This is for all people who are willing to take an extra moment of time to buy the affordable necessary equipment. - 2361

A Brief Review Of The Film Alien

By Bobby Colon

If you are looking into a particular piece such as this, than you are likely looking to learn a little more about one of the most impressive science fiction films to ever hit the screens, "Alien". Surely, there is a good bit that you might want to know and understand to truly appreciate the film, and most of this as well as a plot synopsis is what you could expect from this article.

The first thing that you should likely understand is that this film was by no means the first or even close to the first movie to feature extraterrestrial beings. The idea of humans interacting with these beings and creatures was not something out of the realm of possibility for movie goers. However, you might care to know that there were very distinct differences between the beings of the preceding films and the beings created by the minds behind this franchise.

One of the first and most noteworthy differences between the predecessors and the new revamped ones, would be that these creatures were not just slow moving awkward beings. Rather, they were highly intelligent, terrifying to look at, and even deadlier to be around than anything that might have hit the screen before it.

They were creatures that instilled fear and terror into the audiences that got to see them. They walked on all fours like the most deadly predators on Earth do, and they learned rather easily that humans were a rather simple kill. They had a couple of rows of razor sharp teeth and heavily salivated a substance that was able to eat through the floor of the space ship that the crew that came to the planet called home.

It is this crew that the story centers around. They are on a mining expedition to take minerals back to Earth when they are hailed from a nearby planet with a distress signal. But it doesn't take the crew members Dallas and Kane long to learn that they are not in the midst of anything friendly when they stumble upon a nest of eggs. One hatches and a little alien leaps out and attaches to Kane's face and refuses to release the hold.

But the little creature is not the one they really need to worry about. You see, they were unknowingly destined to show up on the planet from the company that they work for to get a specimen of these creatures to take back to Earth with them. In trying to escape many of them die, except for Ripley who manages to escape on a shuttle, with a creature still trying to get to her. She ignites the engines, incinerating the alien and allowing for her safe escape.

This film would likely not have been as good without the performances that brought the film to life. The most noteworthy of these being from Sigourney Weaver (Ripley) and the supporting roles of Tom Skerritt (Dallas) and John Hurt (Kane).

So if you cared to learn a little more about the "Alien" franchise, this should have been a help to that end. There is a lot to know, but if you haven't seen the film you should start there, and then you might consider renting the sequels just so that you are completely up to speed. - 2361

Help For Those Starting To Use Movie Download Sites

By Glenda Evans

Not familiar yet as to how the movie downloads happen? Perhaps you wanted to learn the downloading basics? Well the requirement for you first is to have a little amount of persistence and also dedication. You will need that in the end line. After all, you surely would want to catch the recent uploaded and the best thing is you get absolutely for FREE.

Okay, I know you probably think now that it is not secure doing the download in some sites just so because it does not require you payment. I cannot blame you though. In fact, people are already dealing this as hobbies since they get the advantage in significant way since movie downloads are free. Common, ask yourself why would you even pay if your favorite movie show is available online? It is fun and addictive to collect files out of this.

The places for you to find includes P2P file sharing networks. Many preferred these because they do it the easy way. Basically you share file with other people and this is vey clever way to develop the use of internet. This works just by accessing the area of others computer files. With that they can download the movie files where you have placed.

Another one is to forums. This is also better since you go for safe files. Take note that not all of the peer to peer file sharing is considered legal. So it is a smarter decision to look for forums with these movie sharing.

Authoritative download sites come as the third option and also popular today. In this case you can assure the legality and would be safer than the first two mentioned. In here, you can be certain that the movie downloads are in full length quality DVD. In short, it would be more reliable to use it.

Related news appears now from a company based in sterling in connection to the agreement with the studios in Hollywood. Both made an agreement for the management of the database for exposure to piracy when they do the delivery for their customer. It includes the variety of contents and devices. It tends to leave something to the site for tracking upon the download so firsthand the question of legality appears.

Though, there are many ways for the download of music and even software. Take note the threats. Are you familiar with Trojan horses? How about spywares and viruses? The rest of malicious scripts are harm and causes serious problems to computers. Best to do is being aware of the possibility and find ways to avoid.

Then the last thing to consider is that what will you need to play the downloaded movie? Just as long as you have media player, that will be enough. Or perhaps it will be better to have your own choice of video and audio codecs to be installed particularly in your system. Example in order for you to do the movie downloads you need to have that in right format like in . Avi files. Bear in mind that the length of how long you download the movie depends to the internet connection too. - 2361

Home Theater System - The Sound Quality Is Very Important

By Ken Dragki

With any home theater, the TV size is very important. While smaller HDTVs do have a high quality picture, you will need an HDTV with a 32 inch screen or larger. Picture quality on larger TVs is not as good as smaller ones although the difference is hardly noticeable. The sacrifice of the picture quality is worth getting a larger HDTV.

Never cut corners when purchasing your cable and speaker quality components. If you have a wonderful sound system but less expensive speakers or wires, your sound quality will be dulled.

For many people, ready made systems work well and satisfy all home theater personal needs. If you prefer to customize your system, be sure research your options completely. Most of all, enjoy your new home theater system.

You can find lots of information about wireless home theater systems on the internet. You can visit several websites that provide this.

Compare the advantages and disadvantages of each product. You can't compare it only from the price because there is no guarantee that the goods are more expensive is always better than cheaper, so doing it wisely. The thing you need to consider is the specification of a product, usually this is already provided by the seller, read this one by one.

When deciding what the best home theater system to acquire is, consider the price of the system, first as a whole and then as buying individual parts to see which would cost less. There may be specials on different components around the store that could make buying the system in parts cheaper. A basic system will have a television, whether plasma or LCD, a DVD layer, speakers, cables and a projection system. - 2361

Powers Of Precognition - Are They Real?

By Jim Bowen

There are several different ways that our psychic potential can show up. Even so, when it is all said and done the psychic powers are all derived from the very same energy. This energy is very versatile and it is called by many different names. The same ability is behind it no matter what it is called. The circumstances that surround it make it all seem to be different. Precognition is an elusive psychic ability to say the least.

It allows someone to be conscious or even see something that will occur in the future, prior to it actually happening. It is like the future being remembered. Similar to some other psychic perceptions, it is possible to have a precognition while we are awake but will more than likely happen during our sleep. When a person is sleeping they tend to down the blocks that keep their inner powers subdued.

Our conscious mind can significantly interfere in our ability to engage our psychic powers while awake, but while we're asleep, it's less capable of doing that, allowing our creative sides to more effectively process thoughts that the rational mind would block out. Precognition and many other psychic experiences happen more often while we're asleep because we're simply more open to them in this state than we are while awake.

But why is it possible to have a precognition at all? There are some definite possibilities to consider. There are people that believe that linear time does not exist and that the impression of linear time is simply an illusion that the senses create. When we access the unconscious knowledge that we all have, an effect is a precognitive experience.

The theory that time is really cyclical is another one. It says the each cycle in time is very similar to, if not nearly exact to each other. We have memories about the things that happened in a previous cycle and it presents itself as a glimpse of the future. If this is true then precognition truly allows people to remember things that occur in the future.

There is another theory that suggests that everyone and everything is connected with a powerful web of energy that crosses over all time and space. Because we are connected to that web we are able to see and know of things that are occurring in other parts of the web.

There are many examples of people proving that precognition actually occurs when they have predicted things that are going to happen in their own futures. The predictions are not always of extremely important things. It can be about small things like getting the incorrect order at a restaurant or a more important thing like the prediction of a bad breakup or a new job that is on the horizon. It is not uncommon for someone to be able to give very specific details about events that will occur in the future.

Making the process of precognition a conscious one can be a lot more difficult than simply having a precognitive experience, however. Many people need to study and practice in order to be effective. Concentrating on a specific target or goal is a good idea, since it focuses the mind and allows us to waste significantly less energy on getting to our goals.

Many people experience a precognition early in their lives but they choose not to believe it. Ignoring it can make the precognitive abilities much less effective because it will not be used frequently. They are not able to reach the levels that they could but do sometimes have a dream of things that are in the future. They see things in their sleep and at other times but simply refuse to believe it.

It does not have to be this way, though. They do not have to be sleeping to have a precognition experience and if they apply some serious studying they may be able to enhance their skill level. Some people have to enter a very relaxed state, like in meditation, in order to access the information and some people actually need to have some previous knowledge about what they are looking for in order to be successful.

When too much foreknowledge is gained it makes it more difficult because the conscious mind tends to interfere. Conscious precognition is possible if you are willing to practice to get it right. - 2361

But you can get great savings from PC TV software. The truth is, we all sit in front of our TVs to catch up on the news, interesting events, or whatever catches our attention.

Unfortunately though, this addiction of ours, comes at a very expensive cost. That's mainly due to the fact the satellite companies offer packages. More often than not, the best channels are divided in such a strategic way that we have to purchase any of these themes in order to enjoy them. That directly translates into you, paying fees for one package that has five channels, of which you only watch one.

Fortunately, however, you can benefit from purchasing a software that does away with any monthly fees. So, you're able to watch an endless amount of channels each month for free.

Do You Think Registry Cleaners Truly Necessary?

By Jose Watinks

Differing opinions exist about the need for using registry cleaners to boost the performance of computers. While some reviews state they are a necessary program for optimizing performance and speedy startup, others state that they do more damage than good. These naysayers state that they are not just unnecessary, but can cause more harm than good.

What a registry cleaner does is scan the computer registry for invalid or corrupt files and unused or outdated drivers, look for missing file associations and remove any problems it encounters. In theory, you will have a quicker loading computer, with programs running faster and smoother. Is this really true, and can these types of programs fulfill their promises? Do they do all this automatically, or do they give you the option of choosing the right actions?

Using a registry cleaner can be dangerous, according to some experts. It may remove files that are necessary for programs to load or perform properly. It can even cause a full system crash. They state that the best results may be the gain of a few kilobytes of disk space, and maybe a faster start up. However, with the storage and disk space on most computers that is a negligible result. Are these programs just 'snake oil, ' as one expert reviewer has stated?

Many registry cleaners offer a free trial by way of a system scan. This is to induce you to buy the program to clean up the hundreds of errors found. Once you purchase it and run it, you just may find your computer speedier. However, you also may find it functions even less optimally that before. The program may have removed some necessary and critical entries, causing your new problems. In any case, you may even notice it runs slower, because the registry deletions have fragmented it.

Keeping your registry clean, program developers claim, will require scheduled maintenance. What they don't say is that a few orphaned files or extra entries in the registry of your computer will not noticeably affect its functioning. You may even notice that the cleaner has marked and isolated needed files, labeled them as bad, and made them dysfunctional or removed them.

Experts advise that if you feel the need to fix your registry, you should do it manually. If you don't have the skill, then either leave it alone or hire an expert to do it for you. Do not rely on registry cleaners that may have received some good reviews, but have little in the way of real hard data to back up their claims.

Instead, to avoid problems, install only licensed programs to your system, and keep them up to date. Back up your critical data regularly. Be very cautious about installing and uninstalling trial or beta software programs. Always have a good anti-virus and malaware system running, and keep its files updated. Regularly defragment your system and delete temporary files. Just these simple stems will keep your system cleaner, and you won't need to consider the dilemma of whether or not to use registry cleaners. - 2361
