When golf legend Jack Nicklaus was still a young upstart in the sport and only starting to tear up PGA courses, legend Bobby Jones commented following 'The Golden Bear's''65 Masters win that "he plays a game with which I am not familiar". Following his absolute destruction of Rashad Evans in the main event of UFC 98, there's likely a few MMA fighters saying the same thing about the new light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida who made it look easy en route to a 2nd round TKO victory.

The fight started slowly, with each man trying to get a feel for his opponent and wait him out to see who blinked first. Evans, who prefers to counter punch, quickly began to become uncomfortable with facing an adversary who didn't come right at him. Late in the first round, Machida went on offense with frightening suddenness, flooring Evans with a nice straight right hand. Evans gamely tried to fight back, but a final right hand from the Shotokan Karate master left him out cold.

After the fight UFC announcer Joe Rogan proclaimed the start of the Machida era and this is not just mere hyperbole. Machida is unlike any fighter before him, rooted in mastery of traditional martial arts but with the versatility of a modern MMA competitor. He's essentially a Mortal Kombat character come to life--in a more realistic cross disciplinary comparison he shares many of the same characteristics as boxing great Floyd Mayweather, Jr. as he combines insane handspeed, underrated stopping power and nearly impenetrable defense into an unorthodox and extremely lethal package. Like Mayweather, hes a tough opponent to prepare for as there's simply no way to replicate his skill set in sparring. In another similarity with boxing's recent pound for pound king, Machida has been bred to fight since birth. His father is a first generation Japanese --Brazilian and a Shotokan Karate legend, Yoshizo Machida. He began training in his fathers discipline at the age of 3 and by the time he was 12 years old had earned a black belt.

The comparisons with the insanely talented but equally insanely arrogant Mayweather end when the final bell sounds. Outside of the cage, Machida is a modest and respectful gentleman who is quick to give credit to his father and his karate teachers for his MMA success. He spent most of his UFC 98 postfight interview not singing his own praises, but imploring others to strive to realize their dreams.

An odd trivia note about Machida serves as further repudiation for MMA neophytes who think that the sports kinship with pro wrestling began with Brock Lesnar: Machida was discovered by Japanese wrestling legend Antonio Inoki, and became something of his protege. He trained for some time at the New Japan Pro Wrestling dojo in Tokyo.

Perhaps the most frightening thing about Machida is that hes only now reaching his full potential as an MMA fighter. In other words, hes only going to get better which is a scary prospect for opponents given the fact that hes never lost in MMA competition. In his recent bouts hes shown a downright lethal ability to end fights. He stopped Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou at UFC 79 with an arm triangle choke, and blitzed Evans and previous foe Thiago Alves with punishing punching combinations en route to TKO victories.

Machida will very likely face Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson at some point and its difficult to see him faring much differently than Evans did. One thing working in 'Rampage's' favor is his greater experience and a resume filled with high level opponents of various fighting styles. Still, everyone comes back to the fundamental reality that no one has ever really seen a fighter quite like Machida before.

In the co-main event of the evening, Matt Hughes defeated Matt Serra by unanimous decision to gain the upperhand in their long running feud. It was a surprisingly entertaining fight, with Serra taking the first round with his power punching before Hughes used his takedown and ground control abilities to win rounds two and three. The two men embraced after the fight so, for now at least, their well known dislike for one another that began during their stint as rival coaches on The Ultimate Fighter may have ebbed. After the fight, Hughes backed off his previous talk of retirement after this matchup and clearly indicated that hed like to keep competing in the UFC.

Fantasy football has brought football much closer to lovers of the game. Almost everyone I know is on some sort of fantasy football league or the other. It has become a way of life for not only young kids but also for older people!

Rewind back a few years. At that time, you were only concerned about your home team's performance. But, suppose you weren't lucky enough to be a part of a state where the football team was great? Time and again you would go to the matches, hope for the best pray like mad and come back home disappointed. In fact, some of the football matches were just plain hard to watch!

But, if you have say the likes of Tony Romo and Larry Fitzgerald on your Fantasy Football team, then, that paints a whole new picture ha? Quite a different ball game, I would say. So, if you have that competitive streak within you nestled away in a corner somewhere, do go and visit a site which offers fantasy football and experience the thrill of the game!

Spoilt for Choice

After you have decided to go in for a fantasy football team, then what next? Well, my friend, you need to choose a format you will go with. The most popular format of a fantasy football game is one in which say ten to twelve participants get together, form their own teams and then play throughout the course of the year.

Yes, it is really that simple. To make things more interesting, you can find a fantasy football league, where you get a set salary cap (of course, it is wholly cyber cash that I am talking about!), so as to purchase the players you would like to. So that would make the entire process more fun and interactive.

There is also another kind of fantasy football format, where the players can choose any player for their line up in a given week. There is one restriction however; they can only use that player once or twice for the entire football season.

Real Or Virtual?

Though Fantasy Football takes place wholly on the internet, the process is very real. There are many obstacles which players face. For example, you might have difficulty finding a league where the players take their game seriously throughout the season and keep their competitive spirits intact throughout. Sometimes you might find people who don't keep to their word and pay up their dues.

Winning a fantasy football season requires hard work and a lot of studying, just like real football. You need to find players who are promising and make them a part of your team when they are at their peak or prime.

In order to make these decisions easier for fantasy football players, statistics and information are available in fantasy football magazines. You'll also find rosters and player projections in these useful magazines. Remember, having the right information can go a long way in helping you formulate a winning fantasy football team.

When you compare how big computers are today to only a few years ago, it's amazing. And when I say 'how big' I don't mean the size as they sit there on your desk. I mean the speed, the size of the hard drives, and how fast their processors are. My first computer many, many years ago, was more like hand held calculator compared to today's models.

Of course, so has external storage media. Ten years ago, the external hard drive market was very small, with only a few players. Today, however, finding the right back up system for your machine can be particularly troublesome, especially if you aren't familiar with the specific terminology.

Before you go shopping for an external hard drive, first find out exactly what you want. By doing this you'll be in a much better position to ask the salesperson, or somebody in an online forum for advice. These questions will help you to avoid spending too much, and buying the wrong device, or spending to little and not buying enough extra space.

Of course of primary concern is the size of your actual hard drive that you'll be backing up. If you only have a 100 GB machine, like I do, then a moderately sized external drive will do the trick. If, however, you've got several machines with hard drives in excess of 500 GB, then you are definitely going to need some more space. Luckily, they make external drives plenty big enough to satisfy even the hungriest customer.

Will you be using your hard drive for data files, music files, photo files, or video files? These take up a varying amount of space, and can impact the bottom line cost you'll be paying for your backup system.

Another consideration is how often you plan on backing up your system. Some back up once a month, and that's fine. Others back up every day, either before shutting their computer down, or as soon as they fire it up. This is another important consideration.

If you plan on carrying your external drive around with you, that's another thing to keep in mind. If you only plan on setting it behind your computer at home or at work, you can probably get away with saving a few dollars. If, however, you're going to need to carry it around, likely in it's own case, then you may have to shell out a few more dollars. Keep these in mind when making a purchasing decision.

With these ideas in mind, you will be much better equipped to choose an appropriate back up system for your machine. Once you are set up and backed up, you won't have any more fear of data loss if your system happens to crash. Happy shopping.

On the heels of the most recent filming of The Hangover 2 that's presently happening in Thailand, speculation has already been happening for the next follow up to the hilarious comedy. Some screenplay leaks for Hangover 3 apparently reveal that the film could most likely transpire in Rio de Janeiro. Apparently hotels and flats have already been scouted as prospective filming locations as well as apartments and other rentals, presumptively for the cast and crew. At this point, if the next Hangover film was to come to Brazil, it would likely be filmed predominantly in Copacabana and Ipanema.

The original film featured the main cast trying to reconstruct the occurrences of the previous night while hunting for their lost friend whose wedding ceremony is less than two days away. While story details have been kept rather tight for The Hangover 2, it has been established that our group of comedic characters take a holiday travel to Thailand to spend their vacation. While the first film took them on a romp through hotels and casinos of Las Vegas it will probably be interesting to see how the adventure is implemented in these new accommodations.

If it is correct that The Hangover 3 was to be shot in Rio de Janeiro, what would the plot be? Not surprisingly, it would very likely follow the formula of the previous film with one of the group disappearing and requiring the others to try to reconstruct the previous night. While there have been unconfirmed reports of hotels being scouted in the vicinity of Copacabana and Ipanema beach as well as other pieces of real estate, the question begs to ask, where else are they very likely to film. Probably candidates certainly could be the famous Christ Statue or the Sugar Loaf. Though filming will also probably take place in some flats or apartments.

Given the current uptick of Brazil's foot print in the film marketplace seems to allow some legitimacy to this information. Also, Rio de Janeiro could be up to the task of furnishing a backdrop for this film. Not to mention that logistically, Brazil's expansion is becoming more enticing for filming. Given the higher number of apartments and other accommodations, it could be a reasonable choice. Rentals are becoming a growing commodity since the announcements of the World Cup and the Olympics are set to be sponsored by Brazil.

While fans anxiously anticipate seeing The Hangover 2, already coming there is a possibility of an extension to the franchise. Possibly, just possibly, we'll observe that fat bearded guy dancing Samba during Carnival!

Printmakers use color to their prints in several options. Usually color in printmaking that involves etching, screen printing, woodcut, or linocut is implemented by making use of separate plates, chunks or screens or by using a reductionist approach. In multiple plate color methods, a number of plates, screens or chunks will be produced, each providing a different color. Each distinct plate, screen, or block will be inked up in a unique color as well as applied in a specific sequence to be able to make the whole picture. Typically about three to four plates will be made, but there are occasions in which a printmaker might use up to seven plates. Each use of another plate of color is going to interact with the color presently put on the paper, and this must be considered when making the separation of colors. The lightest colors will often be implemented first, after which darker colors successively prior to the darkest.

The reductionist approach to making color is to start with a lino or wood block that is either empty or with a basic etching. Upon every printing of color, the printmaker will then further cut into the lino or woodblock removing more material and then implement another color and reprint. Every single successive removal of lino or wood from the block will expose the already printed color to the observer of the print. Picasso is commonly cited as the developer of reduction printmaking, though there is proof of this technique being used twenty-five years before Picasso's linocuts.

Valenti Angelo was an Italian-American printmaker, illustrator and author, born June 23, 1897 in Massarosa, Italy. He immigrated to the United States together with his family in 1905, residing initially in Ny and then moving in Antioch, California. At the age of 19, Angelo transferred to San Francisco, doing work by day as a labourer and spending his night time as well as weekends at libraries as well as galleries and museums. He quickly became a versatile artisan and an especially skilled engraver and printer.

Angelo's favoured medium was the linocut, and his prints depicting urban nocturnes as well as desert scenes of the American Southwest are notably sought after by collectors and dealers. In 1926, Angelo made his first book illustrations for the well-known, San Francisco-based Grabhorn Press. In a time period of thirty-four years, Angelo decorated and illustrated roughly 250 books. Among these were folio editions of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass, The Travels of Sir John Mandeville, as well as several books of the Holy Bible.

Sybil trained in England, and started producing as well as showing linocuts right from 1921 up until 1939, working regularly with her informal partner Cyril Edward Power. She likewise aided in the establishment and took over as the first secretary of the The Grosvenor School of Modern Art. She worked as being an oxyacetylene welder in an aircraft production line in World War I, where she assisted in the evolution of the very first all steel aeroplane for the Bristol Welding Company and in the shipyards of the Hampshire city of Southampton during World War II where she became acquainted with Walter Morgan. In England, one of the largest collections in public ownership is retained by St Edmundsbury Borough Council Heritage Service Bury St Edmunds. This collection includes a number of early water-colour paintings, executed even though the artist was still living in Suffolk.

Printmaking is actually an art that involves the moving of an image from a single surface like an inked plate to another like a piece of paper, cloth, metal or wood. The art finds its durability in its artistic value and its ability to be replicated, adding tremendously to the definition of world civilizations. One will discover alternate printmaking methods as unique as Indian, Asian, European, as well as American civilizations. With each, a style has marked itself over time, transforming into a form of artistic tradition for the people.

Printmaking is the method of creating artworks by printing, commonly on paper. Except in the case of monotyping, the process is capable of producing several duplicates of the very same piece which is called a print. Every piece is not a duplicate but an original as it is not a reproduction of some other work of art and is practically referred to as an impression. Painting or drawing on the other hand, create a unique original piece of artwork. Prints are made from a single original surface area known technically as a matrix. Frequent kinds of matrices include: plates of steel, usually copper or zinc for engraving or etching; natural stone, used for lithography; chunks of timber for woodcuts, linoleum for linocuts and fabric plates for screen-printing. Yet there are many other forms. Works printed from a single plate create an edition, in modern times typically every signed and numbered to create a limited edition. Prints might likewise be printed in book form, as artist's books. A single print can be the result of a single or several techniques.

Printmaking techniques could be divided into the following fundamental groups or categories: 1) relief printing, in which the ink goes on the original surface area of the matrix. Relief techniques consist of: woodcut or woodblock as the Oriental forms are often known, wood engraving, linocut and metalcut; 2) intaglio, where the ink will go underneath the original surface area of the matrix. Intaglio methods include: engraving, etching, mezzotint, aquatint, chine-coll as well as drypoint; 3) planographic, in which the matrix maintains its entire surface but a few areas are treated in order to make the image. Planographic techniques consist of: lithography, monotyping, and digital techniques.4) stencil, which includes: screen printing as well as pochoir. 5) Viscosity printing.

Other types of printmaking methods apart from these groups include collagraphy as well as foil imaging. Modern printmaking technology might included such as digital printers, photographic platforms and mixture of both digital methods as well as traditional processes. Several of these methods can also be combined. For instance, Rembrandt's prints are frequently referred to as etchings for convenience, yet often include work in engraving as well as drypoint as well, and quite often don't have any etching whatsoever.

Often color in printmaking which involves etching, screen printing, woodcut, or linocut is applied by either making use of separate plates, blocks or screens or by using a reductionist approach. In multiple plate color techniques are numerous plates, screens or blocks made, each giving a various color. With a few printing methods such as chine-coll or monotyping, printmaking artists might sometimes merely paint into the colors they want, like a painter would and then print. The subtractive color concept is also applied to offset or digital print and is present in bitmap or vectorial software in CMYK or other color spaces.

If you like music a lot, you might be hoping of going into some branch of the music industry yourself. Undoubtedly, you will have been told that this is awfully difficult and I am not trying to suggest that it is not, but perhaps most people who are trying to get into the music industry are going for the same jobs.

The list of jobs accessible in the music industry must include teachers, songwriters, doctors, therapists and many others, not only singers and musicians, so it pays to think out of the box if you want to go in this direction, because traffic on the main highway is usually at a stand-still. Anyway, here is a list of alternative jobs in the music industry and I hope that it is of some benefit to you.

There are jobs with music and record firms for staff song-writers, that is, for people who compose songs for the artists who are contracted to that label. Find a couple of artists that you respect working for the same label, compose some songs for them and apply.

If you cannot find a solitary label that suits you, you could do the same job as a freelance song-writer. This way you are not restricted and can compose for all the artists that you like.

If you are clever with words but not such a great musician, you could become a lyricist. A lyricist may or might not team up with a musician to create a song. Like Gilbert & Sullivan or Rogers & Hammerstein.

Jingle-writers are forever in demand, at least good ones are. Jingles need to be short but catchy. Composing jingles pays decent money, but it will probably not make you famous outside the music industry.

A music publisher scours the market for freelance songs and buys up the copyright or license to distribute those songs or to sell or license them to singers and musicians.

A music editor might work with a composer or song-writer to make sure that the timing and the cues for the musicians and singers are feasible.

Notesetters have to have a good ear for music as their job is to write down in musical form what untrained musicians play for them. There are many, many modern musicians who cannot write a note of music but who can produce very good songs. These songs have to be written down by someone and that someone is a notesetter.

A talent scout in the music industry has the official title of Artist & Repertoire Co-ordinator or A&R Co-ordinator for short. A step up from this position is the A&R Administrator, who co-ordinates the co-ordinators and sets and monitors their budgets - a sort of a musical accountant.

Then there are the jobs in public relations. These people usually work for record labels. They promote the artists who have signed onto a record firm's label. There are quite a few degrees of responsibility in this department.

An agent or an relations representative, is aperson who manages his client and finds him or her work. They check the contracts and give business advice. They are well-|known as 'Mr. Ten Percent' although in practice it is usually double this unless you are famous.

Campus representatives advertise records to students and promotional staffers promote wherever they can - radio stations, stores, musical directors.

Music teachers teach music to groups from pre-school through to college level. Their duties differ with the age of the student and the purpose of the class.

A music director has the job of supervising policy in school or college or setting the entertainment for a cruise or a holiday camp, hotel or holiday complex.

Then there are organists in churches all over the country, who often double in other musical careers.

It is almost a rite of passage in childhood: some sort of organized mandatory athletic participation. Some kids join a basketball or soccer team. Others go for individual sports like track or martial arts. Dance is a popular activity for both girls and boys. For many reasons taking dance classes is a great experience for kids.

One of the biggest benefits of studying dancing as a child is learning about spatial awareness. Dancing lessons can help even the clumsiest person learn how to move more smoothly through his or her environment. In addition, it will teach children to move their arms and leg in sync. This can benefit other activities.

Learning social skills is another benefit of taking dance classes. Most dance studio arrange classes by age group, so children learn dancing along with others their own age. As they advance, children can join a competitive dance team, which may dance together for months or even years. This allows your child to learn the moves and make new friends at the same time.

Of course socializing is not just restricted to the students. As with any other organized activity, parents who drive their kids to class and often stay to watch get to know each other. Often, this socialization by parents during the instruction can lead to play dates outside of class.

Dance recitals are another benefit of taking lessons. There is usually a recital at the end of a seasonal class and annually or semi-annually for those who dance year round. Not only will the child be able to show what he or she has learned to parents and other family members, he or she will also learn how to present him or herself in front of a crowd. This lesson can definitely be expanded as the child grows up and will help build the confidence needed when making presentations later in life.

Dancing is very physical, and as such it helps them develop strength and stamina which improves their performance in other sports. Since dance classes take place primarily indoors and year round, it's a great conditioning activity for kids who participate in seasonal sports. Professional athletes often take dancing in the off season to keep their muscles trained.

Children gain self confidence by succeeding at something. Dance is a great opportunity to improve their skills over time, thus improving their self image. Through dance, a child can learn new ways to express him or herself. Dance can improve a child's behavior for several reasons. First, the exercise helps get the wiggles out, so a child is less likely to be fidgety. Exercise is well known to release stress too.

There are several things to consider when looking for a dance studio that offers classes for kids. First, how do the instructors interact with the children? Is it a fiercely competitive environment, or a positive encouraging environment. The best way to find out is to watch a class, preferably of kids the same age as your child. Time and money are also considerations. Is this something your child can do once or twice a week, or is daily practice required? What is the cost involved? It's never a good idea to select a studio based on price alone, but at the same time you want to make sure you can afford it. The feel of a particular studio is very important. A child who is very serious about dancing may not like a more casual studio; in the same vein, a child who is taking dance simply as an activity may be overwhelmed by more serious instruction.

Dance classes for kids are a wonderful way for children to stay active year-round. Many dance studios have music and movement classes for kids as young as three. No matter what the age of the child, dance classes will have a benefit on their life.

Many people understand that you'll find web sites that allow you to view movies and tv shows from your personal computer, however not many people understand that there's a system that can truly eliminate your cable bill entirely. With the economic crisis that we find ourselves in today, it can be critical to search out as many shortcuts as you possibly can. So, what if I told you that Satellite Direct supplies about 3 thousand channels for a one-time price of about $50 and that all you'll need is a laptop or computer and an online connection?

Well, it really is correct. I used to be an advocate of scouring the world wide web and locating websites that allowed folks to look at shows and videos on the web at no cost, but you can find two problems with that. The initial is always that nearly all of the web sites have been created largely to infect computer systems with viruses and spyware, which ends up costing numerous dollars to repair.

The next issue is the fact that, a lot more often than not, you'd probably only be permitted to watch for any set time limit. After the time restriction had been arrived at you would be prompted to pay money to become "a premium-plus-super-gold user" or whichever expression the website had come up with. Needless to say, it got quite irritating after some time, specially when it had been in the middle of a suspenseful film.

I started to do a bit of research to search out an appropriate approach to check out true Television on-line, without having any annoying time limit or possibility of finding my pc contaminated once more. I sooner or later came across Satellite Direct and noticed that they presented 3000+ channels, a great deal of different genres, and even packages from other countries. That very last component was the very best simply because I had been on a number of worldwide vacations and liked several of the channels they had there, but I could never ever locate them here inside the US.

I chose to try it. Well, it was only $50 and I was fed up with paying over $100 a month for my cable bill. I never even spend that much time in my own home because of my line of work, but with this plan I could just download it on my laptop and take it with me on the go. What did I really have to lose?

Satellite Direct has freed me from my cable company and has offered me a chance to entertain myself when I'm close to a wi-fi spot with a bit of spare time. It can be a fantastic way to conserve money and find cool shows and channels to watch without any irritating month to month payments.

Dragon is one of the most commonly accepted imaginary creatures which has been an significant part of the East Asian way of life. The invention of this beautiful creature comes originally from China. The body of dragon is scaly like any other serpent but it also has four legs with big foot and five claws on each claw.

Like China Europeans too have their dragons but they have different physical attributes and also in their meaning as European dragon has negative implications.

The Chinese dragon on the other hand has assumedadopted both roles of good and evil throughout Chinese history. But more than anything else the symbol of the dragon represents auspicious power according to ancient folklore and art from China.

The Chinese dragon takes on various qualities which the Chinese people have credited to it. It is rarely known that the Chinese dragon is the male symbol representing yang. Then again it is taken as a symbol to bring rain and water where the people are doing agriculture for a living.

The Chinese dragon also has a female counterpart who is not featured very often. The female side of the Chinese dragon is known as the phoenix. Many westerners assume the Chinese dragon to be the official symbol for the country of China. However this is untrue to the fact.

It is true that the Chinese dragon symbol was used to symbolize the emperor of China in the good old days. In fact throughout the Yuan Dynasty no civilian was even allowed to associate themselves with the symbol of the dragon. The Qing Dynasty however brought the Chinese dragon symbol back into action as it started appearing on the national flag during those times.

In the recent years Chinese people have become conscious of the consequence of the Chinese Dragon symbol on western society and they are trying desperately to do away with the Dragon symbol. It is felt that the west takes Dragon symbol to be a symbol of war. To rectify this Chinese have come up with the idea of giant panda symbol which now they use as official symbol.

Chinese Dragon plays an important role in giving ethnic identity to Chinese people even today when some of them feel that they are the descendants of the Dragon and they truly have devotion in the powerful symbol. The identification of a nation with an animal is a trend which started in 1970s when the Mongols felt that they have characteristics of wolf and Tibetans felt that they are descendants of monkeys.

The Chinese dragon symbol still holds a special position in modern Chinese society. More than anything else however it is used mainly for decorative purposes. From advertisement campaigns to T-shirts, posters and tattoos the symbol of the dragon can be seen throughout the streets of China.

The Chinese symbols had incorporated all the characters, signs and alphabets which were used in China for thousands of years and reached a amazing number of eighty thousand approximately. Now of course the use of Chinese symbols has been greatly curtailed.

Since the Chinese language has evolved over time the use of the symbols has declined. Nonetheless the symbols serve another purpose and that is related to the arts. The physical form of the ancient Chinese symbols seems to have a timeless aesthetic appeal which has earned them world wide fame.

The use of the Chinese symbols in China is as popular as ever. You can see them in many places especially in expressions of art and architecture. The Chinese people are using these symbols to mark their products like kitchenware etc. There is another purpose to these symbols which are connected to superstition which is still followed in Chinese culture.

Whatever may be the meaning the physical structure of the traditional symbols from China has special artistic appeal. But when you go to the depth of these symbols you will find that they represent great philosophies which go back in time and are still in use.

Talking of the Chinese symbol you should be aware that these symbols cover a vast area which incorporates both positive as well as negative meanings. Traditionally the Chinese trust that the strong power of the positive symbols will attract good fortune. So if they have positive symbols in their life only good things will happen.

The truth of the subject will depend entirely on what you believe and the faith you have on the Chinese symbols. Even today the symbols are valued throughout China for their beauty as well as the power to influence the life of the people by incorporating them.

The traditional symbol of five bats linked together into one sign represents good fortune and is extremely popular. These five bats are meant to show love, longevity, health, wealth and virtue. To make the symbol more powerful it may be represented in red color.

You will find another symbol in many places in modern Chinese society which is the sunset symbol. Sun as Chinese see it is the origin of the Yang energy and has tremendous potency.

There are number of ancient legends about the sun which leads the Chinese people to believe in its positive powers. For one it is the basis of all energy and purification. Secondly it produces equilibrium. Because of these deep philosophical aspects sun is given great respect in China.

It's difficult to think of a more efficient means of dispelling your worries than music, especially if you're emotional and have to face an everyday stressful and demanding work milieu. So, if you have had enough of tight competition or deadlines and of not quite amiable line managers, just play a Mozart piano sonata when you get home, and see if it doesn't calm and uplift you right away. The gentle and pure sounds and the merry tune will act as a clean-up of all the evils around.

Does your job entail working with demanding clients and your legal liability to them, you being a financial adviser, architect or cosmetic surgeon, so you do need relaxation, but some active and clever one? Try some Prokofiev piano sonata or any part of Carl Orffs 'Carmina Burana', highly rewarding mixes of humor and coolness, and you'll forget your stress or annoyance right away.

Do you need fresh romance in your long-standing marriage? What about a romantic dinner in some resort cottage, accompanied by Beethoven's 'Moon Sonata', with its infinitely delicate passion, or, if you'd rather have something closer to modern sensibility, some Nico singing - both playfully and tragically - 'After Hours', with Velvet Underground?

Are you a refined intellectual or believer, who enjoys beauty or spirit for its sake and for the sake of allowing you to commune with the perfect? Certainly, Bach's 'Magnificat' would allow you to do that, as it would Pergolesi's 'Stabat Mater'. If both spiritually and temperamentally you are rather the Woodstock type, seeing transcendence as attainable by the body when free, healthy, enjoying itself and loving, then definitely AC/DC or Black Sabbath would be the best for you. The bottom line is that music in whatever form is able to relieve your tension, make you feel relaxed, uplifted, in love or communion.

Imagine how more useful it would be, were you able to play it yourself! Believe it or not, there is, for instance, a fast and easy method to learn piano at least, without requiring specialist knowledge or the ability to read traditional music sheets or to perform stuck on your piano stool for endless hours, in order to reach the level of playing to an audience. It's so functional because it works with numbers and colors and patterns - easy to see and learn. Is it not worth trying, so that to be able to perform at least a bagatelle, such as Beethoven's 'Fur Elise' to your enchanted friends?

These mini guitar lessons have been put together for the beginner acoustic guitar student who feels a need to play music but is a bit short on direction.

Lesson One - What kind of guitar are you going to buy?
If you have a rough idea of what kind of music you want to play, the next step is to find yourself a guitar.
Let's start with the basics - nylon string or steel string. A nylon string guitar was made to play classical and folk music. Acoustic guitars make their music by sending the vibration of the strings to the soundboard. The vibrations are then amplified in the body of the guitar. Nylon string guitars make a mellow tone; steel string guitars make a brighter, more metallic sound. One of the main things that will influence you in deciding what kind of sound you want is the guitar your favorite performer plays.

If you are just starting out you will not need a top of the range guitar but it is best to get the nicest one in your price range. A cheap, poorly made guitar will be an uphill battle to play. A good instrument will make your practice sessions something to look forward to.

Try different guitars. See how the neck feels. Check out if one neck feels more comfortable to play than others. Another consideration is the distance of the strings from the fret board which is called the "action". Low action is easier to play but if you are planning on strumming enthusiastically or picking loudly the guitar may have a tendency to buzz.

Lesson Two - Go ahead and learn.
The very first step toward learning to play acoustic guitar is to develop confidence and to overcome your natural reluctance to try new things. Lack of money, lack of time, or lack of a good teacher are three big obstacles to your guitar learning progress. The other three big obstacles are all you. You may be your own worst enemy. How do you react to a challenge? Challenges are your friends. If you find yourself getting frustrated, and not wanting to continue your practice, it might be time to downsize your goal, at least for a while. If you have two chords that you have trouble with, work on the first one alone for a while. Once you have improved a little, go to the next one.

Lesson Three - Daily Practice
As far as your daily practice goes look at starting with half an hour a day. If you can do more, great, you'll become a guitarist faster. The way you carry out your practice is crucial. Putting in the time isn't the only requirement. If you rush or try to fit too much in, then you're working against yourself. Err on the side of too little material at first. If you really are accomplishing what you set out to do in less than thirty minutes, then add a little more.

Lesson Four - Tuning Your Guitar
You can find online guitar tuners to help you get your acoustic guitar in tune. Take a day or two of your practice time to get the knack of tuning. When you start to develop an ear for tuning, try tuning the guitar without the tuner.

Lesson Five - Holding Your Acoustic Guitar
Long hours of practice can take their toll. Learning how to sit and play your acoustic guitar is an art in itself. There are places on the internet that have illustrations showing you how to sit when you're playing, but it would be good to find somebody with a little experience to show you. But don't just go with the way one person plays. If he's self-taught, then you don't want to pick up his bad habits!

Capricorn is a strong game for Taurus, for they both possess passions that are easy and uncomplicated. There won't be significantly romance but a good number of wholesome sex. These folks give the same ambitions and like the same varieties of friends, and both are fond of security and cash.

Capricorn is a bit far more secretive in contrast to Taurus would like, but all the same Capricorn's loyalty helps make Taurus feel secure. And Taurus is charmed by Capricorn's sudden perception of humor. Auguries for the lengthy time period are promising.

Taurus admires Capricorn's strength of purpose, and Capricorn is delighted with Taurus's affectionate stability. Taurus can make it to aloof, careful Capricorn and give the encouragement and responsiveness needed. Both possess earthy, passionate natures, and sensual Taurus can tap the extremely deep high of romanticism that lies beneath Capricorn's reserve.

Capricorn is loyal and Taurus is devoted, so jealousy is not a problem in between these two. Also, each worth cash and safety and are homelovers. One un, durable and indivisible.

With a little careful planning, you can turn your backyard into a relaxing oasis, a family entertainment center, or even a complete, open-air home. Backyard decorating doesn't have to be expensive. There are plenty of simple backyard design tips that can help you create the perfect outdoor area, even on a limited budget.

First, consider the outdoor needs of you and your family. If you have children, designate a play area in an open area of your backyard. Use colorful containers or a large plastic bin to store outdoor toys and design a relaxing sitting and conversation area within eyesight for easy supervision. Your sitting area may be as simple as a few lounge chairs or a full outdoor living area with weather resistant wicker furniture and colorful throw pillows to brighten the room.

If you plan to do a lot of outdoor entertaining, you will want plenty of sitting room, as well as an outdoor cooking and dining area. Backyard design ideas for outdoor kitchens should include a barbecue and surface space. Your backyard dining room may be furnished with a simple picnic table or a patio table of any size. It is important to plan these backyard areas with convenience in mind and place them as close to your indoor kitchen entrance as possible.

You may prefer a private backyard retreat for just yourself and your spouse. This could be designed in a small, secluded area of your backyard, near the beauty and tranquility of your garden, or surrounding a relaxing hot tub. The furnishings in your personal backyard retreat can range from a comfortable garden bench, a hammock, or a rejuvenated love seat from indoors.

The accessories and lighting you use to decorate your backyard living space will set the mood and atmosphere for this part of your home, just like inside. Citronella candles are great bug repellents and add a subtle glow to your backyard retreat. Colorful accents, like pillows, placemats, and bright chair cushions, can make your outdoor areas very inviting. Consider festive vases full of your favorite flowers for table dcor and hang wind chimes for a melodic atmosphere.

Lighting is a very important part of your backyard design. If you do a lot of outdoor entertaining at night, you will want bright lights that illuminate your yard well, especially near your dining area. Coleman's propane powered tabletop torches are easy to use and perfect for the backyard. Smaller patio lights are ideal for walkways or sitting areas and simple tiki torches provide an inexpensive lighting option as well.

To keep your backyard retreat enjoyable, as well as presentable, design plenty of storage options for the common backyard items that aren't the most attractive. Store tools and lawn equipment out of sight in a storage shed or under the deck. Garbage containers can be housed in the garage or behind a decorative wall. Plants and trees also make wonderful barriers, as well as terrific backyard decorations.

Your backyard should be a place of fun and relaxation for you and those you love. Backyard retreats can be as simple or as extravagant as your tastes desire. Careful planning and a few inexpensive furnishings can transform your backyard into a peaceful outdoor haven or a bright and exciting island vacation!

They may be singers, actresses and actors, or sports stars, but do they have any right to tell us what we should be wearing? The past ten years has seen a proliferation of celebrities getting in on the fashion world and launching their own clothing lines. Should we be calling them designers?

The queen of the celebrity designers has to be Victoria Beckham. She has worked hard to earn the respect of the insular fashion world. At first her clothing range was derided by critics but last year she came out fighting with a credible, sophisticated line which won over her critics and bagged a few celebrates wearers along the way. The approving nod from the fashionistas sets her label apart from the others.

Fashion is also on the CV of Victoria's famous friend Jennifer Lopez. In 2001 she launched her own JLO line with styles inspired by the lady herself. Then in 2004 Beyonc and her mother, Tina Knowles, did the same with House of Dereon, a top end clothing line. Later came a collaboration with her sister for the cheaper alternative aimed at teenagers. Dereon comes from her grandmother Agnez Dereon who was a talented seamstress and dressmaker.

Sarah Jessica Parker, who played the fashion-conscious Carrie Bradshaw in Sex in the City has surprised everyone and launched a line aimed at the lower end of the market. Available at Steve & Barry's stores in the US, the line is called Bitten, with the slogan "Fashion is not a luxury "and sizes range from 2 to 22.

Justin Timberlake even got in on the act in 2005 when he teamed up with a friend to launch William Rast clothing.

Before if you want to see a movie, you have to go to the theater, rent out a title or wait for it to be shown on TV. But thanks to the wonder that's called the internet, now you can enjoy one with just a few clicks of the mouse button. And best of all, a lot of them may be accessed at absolutely no cost.

Because there's a lot of these websites out there offering these free gems, you should devote some time in looking for one providing the best titles. Many offer extensive ones - from the latest, classics, to those which are hard to find. Some of them even offer documentaries, TV shows and many others. Also, some sites provide premium account so you may enjoy more titles in HD quality.

When you opt to download titles, you get to keep the file on your computer's hard drive. This way, you may see it once more without having to go through the downloading process all over again. Further, you may have them transferred onto a DVD or your USB flash drive. Such allows you to easily share titles you have amassed with your family and friends.

Downloading time depends on how fast your internet supply at home is. The file's formatting and size is a role player, as well as how many people worldwide are trying to access it at the same time with you. Usually, it takes several hours for the movie to be downloaded completely and ready to be watched. The software needed to be installed on your computer for playing them back depends on the file type.

When you opt to stream titles, there's no need for the files to be stored on the computer's hard drive. Through this approach, the file is played right away when parts of the whole file reach you.

You can enjoy free movies online either by downloading or streaming. The choice depends on your taste. It's easy to spot these websites offering titles absolutely free of charge with the help of your preferred search engine.
