Understanding Speaker Ratings

If you are a serious musician and want to improve quickly, I recommend you seriously consider using a portable digital music recording device, such as a Zoom recorder. If you have never recorded yourself before, I can assure you that you will learn about aspects of your playing that you were never aware of before. It's a great way to quickly identify your strengths and weaknesses.

Country Western Music Read More About It

Words tell a tale of many things we hold dear and they make us aware of our capabilities to overcome anything. It is known as food for the soul the inspiration, for the down and low, the expression of love and it true meaning is best left for the person's definition of music. Most of us if not all love music it may range in diversity but the effect is the same, it takes us to a place of relaxation and celebration of life be it in good times or sad times it refreshes and nourishes our souls.

Techniques Artists Use to Make Paintings Compelling to the Viewer

It is crucial to learned brushwork techniques if you are to be an effective painter. This is true whether you are creating realistic, expressionistic or abstract works. When it comes to creating a realistic oil painting it is the textural quality of the brush work that separates a painting from a photograph.

Use Jungian Archetype to Sell Art!

In the world of Information Technology India's name is taken with respect. What is the reason of India's sudden rise to prominence? This is a country which is way behind in many human development indices, a country whose English speaking population is around two percent and per capita income is about USD 1000 and it is so far away from the West, especially the US.

While there are many singing tips and techniques that are available online, they are usually not enough to address individual needs.

First up on our list of exciting, but questionable tweets, in some cases, is Justin “the Bieb” Bieber. The seventeen year old, who has been vacationing in Hawaii with girlfriend Selena Gomez, took to twitter to debate what movie he’ll be sliding into the DVD player for movie night. “thinking about having a movie night…everyone wants to watch#NeverSayNever3D …..im mean im down…but is that weird? lol.” Weird? Yes! How many times has Bieber watched himself? And while the Never Say Never star was contemplating his next movie, Nick Lachey was having a melt down after a bad flight!

The Dog Days of Spring in Nova Scotia

No other artists have been so closely identified with each other as Paul Gauguin and Vincent Van Gogh. Their often volatile relationship has been dramatized in both books and Hollywood movies, marked by Vincent's cutting off his ear, an incident that seems to be universally know, whatever your background in art. However, they always remained friends, until Van Gogh's death by suicide, bonded by their love of art and Vincent's memorable sunflowers that haunted Gauguin for the rest of his life.

Punching your fiance in front of your baby ON CAMERA was probably not a smart move, Amber!

Teen Mom Amber Portwood is in a lot of trouble for attacking her fiance, Gary Shirley, in front of her baby, because in Indiana, domestic violence in front of a child under 14 years of age can be a felony.

According to police in Anderson, Indiana, Amber may face felony charges in her case. Not only that, but Amber is also going to be investigated by the Department of Child Services (DCS).

DCS will interview people including friends, neighbors, and other witnesses, and they have the right to do so according to the following Indiana state law:

“Failure to report child abuse/neglect is a crime … Indiana law requires any person who has reason to believe that a child is a victim of abuse or neglect to make an immediate oral report to DCS or to law enforcement.”

Indiana's DCS is currently in the assessment phase of their investigation, but they'll be requesting interviews with everybody who knows Amber and Gary soon.

Sounds like a serious mess that Teen Mom's gotten herself into!

What do U think of Teen Mom's situation? Do U think she deserves felony charges?

Delay’s Downfall Paved Path for Boehner

Tom DeLay is the reason John Boehner is in line to become Speaker of the House in January. For those of you lost in a news vacuum, or a tryptophan and pumpkin pie-induced food coma this Thanksgiving, a Texas jury convicted former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) late Wednesday of funneling corporate campaign funds to local political candidates in Texas. The felony conviction could send DeLay to prison anywhere from five years to life, although the former Leader could receive probation.

Early Rockabilly Performances Were Immortalized on Camera

Karaoke Downloads Are Increasing Know Why

One of the more curious aspects of rockabilly is that often times the themes of rockabilly songs tended to be rather silly. In fact, you could almost say that there was an art to taking a goofy theme that might otherwise condemn a song to the category of "novelty song" and making a legitimate rocker out of it. It was almost as if the songwriter was daring the listener to dismiss the song as silly. But the music was so energetic and sincere that these songs could not be shrugged off quite so easily. Here are a few goofy examples that illustrate what I mean.

Trump in 2012 T Shirts

The Vikings were a legendarily tough race of people, and there are few things more fun than to don a Viking fancy dress costume and act like one for the night. The Viking way of life was one of drinking, fighting, and pillaging, taking what they liked and living the tough life on the seas. When you find or make a great Viking costume, you'll stand out at any fancy dress party, whether it's Halloween or any other occasion.

Drew Barrymore and her new boyfriend Will Kopelman have been flaunting their romance all over SoCal in the past week or so. From restaurants, to stores, to sporting events, Drew and Will have been seen makin’ out all over town. Last night, the couple took their lurvefest show courtside at the Staples Center where they rooted for the LA Lakers in between make-out sessions.

Geeze Louise, get a room you two! It is quite clear that these two are really LOVING the honeymoon phase of their new relationship. While I really miss seeing Drew with Justin Long, I am happy to see her lookin’ so enamored of a new dude. Let’s hope this new love is one that can stand the test of time and won’t burn out sooner rather than later.

Longtime Pepsi celebrity spokesmodel David Beckham teamed up with Modern Family star Sofia Vergara here in SoCal earlier today to film a Pepsi commercial together. Becks and Sofia were spotted on the commercial set on a beach in Santa Monica, CA paling around in between takes. Sofia looked really comfortable lounging on her beach chair while Becks looked dashingly handsome just standing around with his ball in his hand looking hot.

I honestly LOVE Becks as a spokesmodel because if he’s selling something, I’m buying. While I am a diehard Coca Cola fan and would never abandon my pop of choice for any other brand, I think I might be cajoled into drinking a bottle or two of Pepsi every now and then on Becks‘s suggestion. I hope there is a little more action in this commercial … perhaps involving Becks removing that very nice white shirt. HMMMM. I can’t wait to see how it all turns out :)

Elijah Wood and some dude in a furry dog costume (identified as actor Jason Gann) were spotted on the boardwalk in Venice, CA yesterday filming new scenes for a new TV series titled Wilfred. Now, I’m not at all sure what Wilfred is about (nor was I aware that Elijah had signed up to do TV) but it would appear from the photos below that Elijah‘s character enjoys smoking marijuana. Among the scenes he filmed yesterday, Elijah was spotted puffing on a prop bong … er, at least, I think it was a prop bong.

LOL! Weed, a dog costume and cotton candy. It looks like Wilfred will be a fun show to watch. I can’t wait to see and hear more about this curious new TV series, can you?

Last night David and I met up with Tamar and Rob for a fun movie double date and we all had a great time catching up and hanging out. Tam picked the movie, Win Win, and at first I wasn’t all that interested in seeing the movie … but once I paid attention to the premise of the film, I couldn’t wait to see it. Win Win is not only the best movie I’ve seen this year thus far but it’s prolly one of the best movies I’ve seen in the past year.

I saw the trailer for Win Win a couple of months ago in the theater and, to be honest, it didn’t really grab me. When Tam suggested we see it, I gave the trailer another look and really paid attention. It looked, at the very least, cute so we decided to check it out. Win Win is not only a well acted, well written film … but it is a touchingly heartfelt cute movie. Paul Giamatti, who always tends to play the same sort of downtrodden, bad luck-attracting character, turns in a superb performance but it is the break-out star Alex Shaffer who really steals the show. I believe Win Win is Shaffer‘s first film and I hope it’s not his last. He really gives a great performance as a troubled teen who finds trust and love from people he never expected. Win Win is one of those indie films that takes a mundane story and elevates it to an emotional, heart string-pulling piece of art. No new ground is broken by this film but we do get a great story, with some great characters … people you actually want to root for. I loved this film entirely. Funny, sad, hopeful and happy … Win Win is deffo worth your time. I think you might like it as much as I love it!

The sun is shining brightly today as the temps are finally warming up here in SoCal. I might have to get outside to soak up some sun. It’s a new week. Happy Monday!!
