IPhone 3G

Once the 3G iPhone is on the market, iSuppli plans to open one up to figure out the make and model of each component inside, to more exactly determine the cost of the handset. The 3G iPhone is "real" now no more being rumored again. It's been officially announced for the release date. The 3G iPhone is rated at 300 hours of standby time. It will be able to allow 5-6 hours of 3G browsing, 7 hours of video playback and 24 hours of audio playback.

The 3G iPhone is slightly thicker in the middle (12.3mm over 11.6mm before) but thinner on the sides. Apple are hoping to launch in 70 countries this year, with the 8gb going for $199 and the 16gb for $299 both coming in black and white. The 3G iPhone is finally here. I just finished watching the Keynote address through the Apple podcasts, and have made up my opinion on the news. The 3G iPhone is probably one of Apple's most-hyped products ever, after the original iPhone. There have been so many rumors of its launch, that it wouldn't make sense for it not to exist.

IPhone Bluetooth

The iPhone bluetooth functions have careful security management. Users are protected from using bluetooth to exchange files with other users (such files are risky) or accidentally printing or communicating with your computer. The iPhone Bluetooth headset can be used in either ear due to its innovative design. It has up to 5.5 hours of talktime while also achieving up to 72 hours of standby time. The iPhone Bluetooth Headset is one iphone accessory that gives you the full ability to make and receive telephone calls without ever having to pick.

IPhone WiFi

WiFi is still just a bit quicker at 17 seconds to finish That's not to say that they haven't still left the WiFi option in for those that aren't able to get a 3G connection. WiFi and 3G is all you need after you download the app and the new iPhone has got them both. The built-in GPS in the iPhone also figure in as the AOL Radio app uses GPS to tell users the closest radio station..

The Cobra 148 GTL CB radio has been the mobile rig of choice for all serious CB'ers for more than 30 years.

Historically, the best sets were always the ones manufactured in the Phillipines. I purchased mine in 1978 and was lucky to get one of these little gems. Manufacture of this particular model was halted in the late 1990's, but due to popular demand manufacture has been resumed and they are once again readily available.

Rugged construction has always been a hallmark of all Cobra CB radios, and the 148 is no exception. It can live in the harshest of environments that would quickly destroy lesser makes.

The newer units have remained in their original proven configuration. The only change has been a small cosmetic change that now has the microphone connector located on the front of the set, instead of on the side. This makes for very easy installation. Longer microphone cables are also now standard.

This model offers a total of 120 channels. It has 40 chanels on AM, and a further 80 channels on SSB (Single side band). The SSB channels are split into 40 each on the lower sideband and the upper side band.

Transmitter power output is the maximum allowable by FCC regulation - 4 Watts RF on AM, and 12 Watts RF on SSB.

The configuration is certainly feature rich -
1) Built in SWR meter, and SWR calibration control for the accurate matching to the antenna.
2) Adjustable Dynamike microphone boost control for maximum clarity on transmit.
3) Adjustable RF gain control allows for the optimum setting of the received signal in both strong and weak signal areas.
4) A noise blanking switch to further reduce the amount of received noise.
5) PA switch allows this unit to be used as a public address system with the addition of an external speaker.

There is another reason why this model has proven to be so popular. The casing has a lot of room inside for mods, and there are a range of add-on boards available at radio shops to boost performance. Some are legal, some are not.

If you are looking for a feature-rich, ultra reliable, mobile rig then you can do no better than choosing the Cobra 148 GTL CB Radio.

See our website for full details, as well as a large range of both new and used Cobra 148 GTL CB radios for sale.

Brothers and a Sister From Another Planet

One night several years ago at an Irish pub in the East Village of New York City, the discussion of music turned to disco. It involved musicians and people over 40 years-old, people who might know what they're talking about. Several of us were, in the heyday of Studio 54 and the disco era, into punk rock. Others of us were -- me especially -- strictly jazz heads. I reminded my friend of lonely nights in college smoking out of a four-foot bong and listening to Zappa and John Coltrane and wondering how to meet girls. They were at the campus disco parties, while we were above it all. And alone, getting in touch with ourselves.

Now a guy walked into the bar - no, this is not a joke, this is true - leans over and asks Nancy, the bartender, to put on a CD he brought. He had a box set called 100 Disco Hits and wanted to hear it. She put it on over a few protests and by the third cut half the bar was up dancing. "This s**t is great, what were we thinkin'?" What were we thinking? The cuts that he played -- "Boogie Nights," "Disco Lady," "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now" -- were all songs with soul power. Killer musicians, great singers, and songwriters that had some skills were at work on these gems. So many of the songs that turned off the young cynic back in the day -- and I was one of them -- now sound like musical versions of the politics of hope. Besides the quality of the music and the infusion of beer and liquor, these cuts stood out because the party music of today consists of desperate, vapid consumer fantasies "sung" over prepackaged, overly mechanized "music." From Justin Timberlake to Mariah Carey, this is what dance music is all about. Like rap agitators Public Enemy asked back in the '90's "who stole the soul?"

These memories and thoughts came to mind while listening to Koko Dozo's new CD Illegal Space Aliens. The band members present themselves as bizarro characters. Chief producer Polarity/1, who created the beats and sounds that make the backbone of the music, dresses like a pro wrestling manager who is channeling Sun Ra. Though using synthesizer sounds, drum machines, and synth bass, his music has a distinctive, organic quality, a certain freshness and vitality. Rubio -- the self-described "multi-brained, Viking, Satanic wizard"; complete with Viking helmet and wizardly robe -- provides funky, jazzy keyboards that flesh out and add spice and musicality to the grooves. Singer Amy Douglas, the "Inter-Galactic Empress," looks like a grown up Punky Brewster turned dominatrix from Brooklyn by way of worlds beyond. But for all the outer spaceness of their image and electronic sounds, the music on Illegal Space Aliens is rooted in the organic soil of the disco, funk and soul of a bygone era.

The CD starts with dense electronic sounds that morph into a groove consisting of bass, a looped piano chord, and a beat made of these dense sounds, on the opening cut "Second Time." Amy Douglas brings flesh and soul to this cyborg of a song. With musical experience covering punk cabaret, funk with George Clinton and down-home jazz with Illinois Jacquet, she has the pipes. She also has the musicality and taste to do it just right. "Face on the Dance Floor" starts with disembodied female voices and a vocal loop of laughs. A house beat kicks in and Douglas busts out with a Donna Summers-like vocal blast: "You know you got that face... hold your face on the dance floor / wave your feet in the air / make us believe that you don't care / smash your face on the dance floor / put your kicks in the air / wave it some more put your f****n' face on the dance floor." The song grooves along with interesting musical riffs and keyboard counter melodies, as Douglas goes off. The backup group female voices come back and the song's next verse comes in. These little touches elevate this and other songs on the CD above average, boring house and dance music. You can dig this music without drugs or dancing.

Some of the album's cuts resemble the classic disco of the'70's and '80's. "Boomchi" has that signature four-on-the-floor drum beat, offbeat funk bass lick, and soulful strings. The vocals come in like Chic's classic "Good Times." Busting out in Spanish, Douglas lets fly some wailing diva vocal blasts. The song's break down features bass drum, breathy, chanting vocals, and an over-the-top spew in Spanglish by Rubio. Euro disco brought in the dominance of synthesizers and more mechanical rhythms. "Shine" is in this mold, but the piano licks and, once again, Douglas' voice gives the song a human face: "Shine a light / I need to know that I'm alive / Shine a light / guide me to your secret side / give me breath that can revive."

Koko Dozo mines other types of music, particularly the expansive side of soul and funk, on the slow jam "Down." This features sweet lead and backup vocals, as well as chords that move and glide in an extended middle part that seems to drift away. Then, from silence, the song starts up with vocals that remind one of soul diva's like Chaka Khan. "D.C. Whore" combines political satire and discordant, complex funk. "Fulano de Tai" is dirge-like, with music that evokes the image of an emotional desert and recalls one of Ennio Morricone's more psychedelic soundtracks.

One of the strengths of Illegal Space Aliens, and my regular readers please forgive me, is that there are nine choice cuts on this record. No fluff, just a statement. This should be the new trend. This should also be an example of how to make dance music that is intelligent and cool, not dumbed down to the level of morons in too-tight $90 designer jeans.

Zune or iPod A Comparison

If you were to buy a portable music player, what would you look up? iPod or Zune? Chances are you would automatically think of the iPod. There's a reason for that iPods have been getting unbelievable marketing over the last few years and Apple has done a good job of getting people to think iPods are the only portable music player out there. This is not the case. Microsoft's Zune is a recent addition to the portable player market and is worth taking a look. So, let's compare:

Navigation iPod's click-wheel is a "love it or hate it" sort of thing. Some love it, some hate it. The newer models feature a split-screen interface, which is nice. Zune offers a touch sensitive pad, making it feel like a laptop pad, to some degree. iPod's click-wheel navigation isn't as intuitive as the Zune's touch pad.

Visual Appeal Apple knows visual design. Their line of computers and computer accessories is real eye-candy. It's no exception when it comes to the iPod its sleek, smooth and modern looking player. Microsoft Zune team needs to work on their visual design.

Compatibility Microsoft is known for having 'issues'. The Zune is no exception. No Mac support and incompatibility with Microsoft's own protected WMA format. The iPod is cross-platform and iTunes score big for the Apple team.

Quality The Zune offers great sound quality, an FM tuner, Wi-Fi and wireless synchronization. The iPod also has great sound quality and a solid battery.

Price Apple is known for its pricey products. Compare any laptop to a similar Apple laptop and you'll see Apple simply charges more. It's no exception when it comes to the iPod. For what you get with the Zune, the price of the iPod is too much. If the iPod offered FM and Wi-Fi support, it'd be a different call.

It's great to see the Zune on the market. Competition is good for consumers, so we can expect to see more from both design teams and it should be fun to watch what they dream up.

Robert's Zune Music Download blog offers advice on some of the best sites to use when you need to download music for a Zune player.

The Benefits To Purchasing A Business Projector For Your Office

Those who run their own business or find themselves frequently in their office will need a variety of supplies and one such item which may come in handy is a business projector. A business projection machine is an item which enables you to project images onto the wall or a screen in your office. This type of item comes in handy for many reasons and some of the benefits to purchasing and using this type of projector will be highlighted below.

By purchasing a business projector, the owner thereof will have a handy way of making information available for all employees to view, whether it is in a small gathering setting or a large scale conference room meeting. A projector of this type provides a way for the individual to project information so that others can easily view it and then take notes from the projection of the information. All in all, if you find yourself heading up meetings then using this type of projection machine is the way to go.

Secondly, a projector which is best suited for businesses provides a way for the company to save money on copies and handouts. Some company officials will need to hand out materials to their employees so that the individuals have something to consult during the meeting. However, by using a projector for business purposes, these handouts and copies are unnecessary which means less time spent on making copies as well as less money which needs to be spent due to the paper and ink which is needed for making the handouts. Since most companies operate on a tight budget, getting rid of this overhead cost is quite an attractive option for business owners to consider.

Using a projector in an office setting is also beneficial in that the person in charge of the meeting can keep the employees and attendees occupied throughout the meeting. When simply having to listen to someone speak for an hour, the crowd may become restless. However, those business owners who provide visual aids throughout the meeting are more likely to keep everyone interested and attentive throughout the conference. Buying a projector for business purposes will truly help out in this fashion and make the overall meeting that much more interesting overall.

Business projectors are also quite affordable when viewed in the grand scheme of things. Depending on the size and quality of the projector, many business owners can purchase one of these items for around $1,000 on average. Although the price will vary depending on the different facets of the projector itself, spending this much money on a projector for your business venture is well worth it when you consider the benefits of doing so. As mentioned above, projectors for business purposes will provide cost saving features due to lack of paper and ink from handouts and keep the meeting attendees attentive throughout the conference. All of these wonderful factors make purchasing a business projector to aid in meetings and conferences a wise choice for business owners everywhere.

Author David Miller recently released his first book "The Ghost of Bobby," a ethereal and ominous children's tale produced in collaboration with the publishing arm of advertising and design company 72andSunny. "The Ghost of Bobby" signals a return to the atmosphere of 19th century European thrillers, this time for children.

The author tells the tale of a 19th century English family whose twin children, Sammy and Thomas, are forcedto embark on a flight of desperation from a sinister man named Skeats. Skeats hunts down the family from the shadowy streets of London to the back alleys of Paris and back, thankfully, always under the protection of a powerful and mysterious ghost dog named Bobby.

Dedicated to David The story was created late one weekend afternoon in Amsterdam during a violent thunderstorm as Miller hid under a old worn out bed with his daughter Sammy.

Sammy loved her father's ghost stories, but the tale of Bobby was always her favorite. At the time, Miller had just left a six-year post as the Managing Director of a prominent Amsterdam ad agency.

He wanted the book to be a keepsake and to teach his children about valuable life lessonsgood versus evil, conviction and the power of imagination.

Boiler enlisted the help of 72andSunny designers, artists and strategists, and "The Ghost of Bobby" was published in 2007.

"We're without a doubt outsiders in the literary world, but we're fortunate to have been able to publish this book without having to follow any rules. Only after running off 300 copies of 'The Ghost of Bobby' did we realize that in real-world publishing, you have to have things like ISBN numbers and other things like that.

David's upbringing contributed ample creative fodder for "The Ghost of Bobby." Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Miller left school at 16, and spent his teen years tending bar and working the night shift at a psychiatric facility, before talking his way into a job in advertising at the age of 17.

"The Ghost of Bobby" was designed by Christina Kelly, illustrated by Julia Kuo and published by 72andSunny Publishing.

The embossed hardbound book targets readers ages 7 and up, and features Julia's fanciful water color illustrations that complement the moody, action-packed story.

72andSunny also designed the marketing collateral for the book, including retail posters and displays, the official book website, and an animated short promotional film viewable online at his website; the ghost of bobby, Youtube and Myspace.

Truth About Abs: a Peek Under The Hood Of Mike Geary's "the Truth About Six Pack Abs" Ebook

2008-06-04T08:05:00.001-07:00

by Junaid Gamieldien, Ph.D.

Before I go into a review of "The Truth About Six Pack Abs" eBook, there are are certain biological truths that one needs to know about before being able to critique any fat loss product:

* the aim must be to heal or speed up a damaged metabolism
* a good *wholesome* diet is important
* a solid exercise plan is essential
* any extreme diet will eventually fail
* traditional (long & slow) cardio is not optimal, and is even counterproductive
* weight training is better than cardio since it builds muscle, which raises the metabolism
* supplementation is not the holy grail - whole food is better
* fruit is not nature's junk food

OK, with that out of the way, we can look at the system using those criteria.

Well, let me say upfront: Mike's "The Truth About Six Pack Abs" brings together all the most powerful current knowledge about fat loss (and boosting metabolism) in one package. I'm not going to beat around the bush here. The system works. And very well. But, is it for everyone? That's hard to say. I'm hoping to give enough information here that will allow you to decide whether its right for *you*.

In a nutshell, Truth About Six Pack Abs:

- shows you what's really going to get you lean
- is usable by anyone
- focuses on concepts and not prescriptions
- provides options with and without equipment
- guarantees results (or moneyback)

So lets dig a bit deeper. One needs that to make a decision. I'll run through what's in the book, in more or less the order Mike presents it. I'll outline the 'WHAT', and leave "Truth About Six Pack Abs" to give details of the 'HOW'.

Lower bodyfat percentage

Mike starts out by stressing that bodyfat reduction and ab development are both important if you want to get that six pack abs and overall lean body. Getting to a low enough bodyfat % to be able to see the ab muscles clearly enough is much more important than developing the muscles themselves. Its common sense, but most people are just concerned with losing weight. Your aim should be to lose *fat* and spare muscle.

Ab training

Ab training is not as important as most people think. It is important to have a strong core, but working your abs for even hours on end is just a waste of time. Nevertheless, Mike knows that strong abs have benefits, and deals with it accordingly.

The main criteria for choosing ab exercises is 1) does it work and 2) is it safe. Ab training should focus on function and therefore both the 'six pack' and the hip flexors should be trained. Most importantly, for safety, Mike tells you how proper body positioning is critical to prevent hurting your lower back.

Crunches are only OK for beginners, and tons of safe advanced exercises are provided for when you become more advanced, which you will - quickly. (By the way - that cheap ab wheel thingy actually does work, according to Mike).

This section of the book made it very clear to me that Mike has his priorities in order.'Ab work' only takes 5-7 minutes per given day, and only twice per week! That covers the ab training component of the book. Yes, that's all! To be honest, its really a minor part of the system.

Truth About Six Pack Abs presents the real secret next, and in much more detail than I have seen in other systems.

How to SUPERCHARGE your metabolism

In order to lose bodyfat and keep it off, the resting metabolic rate (RMR) must be raised, since it burns 60-70% of daily calories. Calorie requirements are calculated from RMR. Since muscle tissue directly affects the metabolism, resistance training forms a big part of the system. Extreme dieting and cardio exercise is avoided for the same reason.

I never did well with very low calorie diets, and I hate long boring cardio routines. Finding out that neither are even good ideas was very cool and got me quite fired up about trying the program!

Increasing RMR through exercise

Since weight training builds muscle, it is a priority in this system. Free weights are favored over machines and compound movements are chosen over isolation exercises. Full body workouts burn more calories during as well as after the actual session. Mike starts introducing the idea of optimizing the workout:time ratio here - its the book's biggest secret, in my opinion.

A 'Better' cardio

Long cardio is boring and does little for RMR. Worse still is that it can cause muscle loss and lower RMR (you can weigh less, but still be more fat percentage wise, i.e. 'skinny fat'). Truth About Six Pack Abs therefore favors short, intense cardio is much better. This was just what the doctor ordered for me. I hate traditional cardio!

Workout frequency/duration

Truth About Six Pack Abs requires only 3-4 training days per week, lasting 45-60 minutes maximum. Perfect for people who cannot aI have found that I get best results with only 45 minutes. Its nice to still have time left to have a normal life.

Putting it all together

Truth About Six Pack Abs gives excellent details on:

* What to prioritize to reach your goals fastest
* Designing routines that suit *you*
* Choosing the best exercises, and how to do them
* Ultra-effective bodyweight exercise alternatives
* 'Secret weapon' exercises, which really gets the fat burning furnace going.

Diet

In my opinion, Mike saved the best for last:

* How to control blood sugar and insulin (worth the book's weight in gold!)
* Why not to follow crash/fad diets
* The truth about low carb diets
* What fats to eat to get lean
* How to balance your diet

LCD TVs are a Great Alternative to CRT

You may not realize it, but you probably use an LCD device every day. If you own a laptop computer, a microwave oven, a modern thermometer, a CD player, or a digital watch, all these are LCD technology. LCD stands for "liquid crystal display." Look at the numbers displayed on your microwave oven; do you see how crisp and clear they are? How about the dials and numbers on your digital watch? LCD technology beats the traditional cathode ray tube and projection TVs in clarity, resolution and sharpness. Not only is it virtually impossible to mount a clunky cathode ray tube TV on your wall, but tubes wear out quickly and the picture quality of projection TVs is notoriously poor.

For home entertainment purposes, most people are especially interested in LCD televisions. When LCD technology was first introduced, the prices of these TVs were typically very high. But in the past few years, LCD TV prices have dropped as the technology became widespread and affordable. Try this simple experiment: go to a large electronics store and ask the sales staff to show you an LCD TV and then a traditional cathode ray tube TV (if they even have one!). You'll notice the picture superiority of the LCD immediately. Plus, LCD TVs are thinner, lighter, and use less power than cathode ray TVs. LCD TVs come in high definition (HD) compatible models that create an even sharper image, in thin, flat panel models, and widescreen models. Each type of these LCD TVs have specific advantages. For example, if you want an LCD TV in your bedroom but don't have a lot of wall space, a flat panel model will serve you well. But in your living room, you'll most likely want a TV that has high definition and a wide screen to set up your home theater components.

When you decide to buy an LCD TV you have many models, sizes, and pricing options to choose from. Consumer guides and customer reviews rate the "best of 2008" LCD TVs as:

- The Samsung 52-inch 1080p HD TV
- The Sony Bravia 52-inch 1080p HD TV
- The Panasonic 50-inch 1080p HD TV
- The Sharp Aquos 42-inch 1080p HD TV
- The Samsung 32-inch 720p HD TV

You can find the LCD TV that meets all your space requirements, including 19, 37, 46, 61 and 65-inch TVs. You can also find great prices on LCD TVs locally or on-line. One thing is certain: cathode ray tube televisions are rapidly becoming obsolete in comparison to LCD HD TVs. Projection TVs are no longer manufactured. Also, LCD technology tends to be cheaper than plasma technology for televisions and computer monitors. The best buying strategy is to specify what kind of equipment you need, the size of the TV you need, and what type of TV system you can afford.

This accessory is an outstanding product and has many highlights to it to live up to its expectation. I'm going to let you in on some of the exciting and very positive aspects and features of this product just to show you it's true potential.

This dock is specifically designed for the microsoft zune mp3 player, so no, iPod's and other mp3 players are not compatible with this product, but in a sense, for zune owners, that is a good thing. Because the quality of this product, as will be explained later, is very high. Thus, only the people who own a zune mp3 player are lucky and forunate enough to be able to put this amazing dock to use.

You can also purchase a cable that will enable you to sync your zune. This cable will also allow you to charge your zune as well which is very useful because whats better than playing music while charging your mp3 player at the same time, so the next time you walk out the door with your mp3 player while having listened to it through the Zune Dock for hours, you now have full charge still.

The dock comes with an audio/video output with a built-in amp that you can connect to your stereo or television that will make your zune mp3 player experience even more exciting because you will be able to sync your mp3 player with the great sound system you have for your television. Or the other way around, the television having the amazing sound system.

This product also comes with an integrated IR receiver which is compatible with the zune wireless remote. This makes listening to music hassle free. You can now lay on your couch, bed, or relax in your chair without ever having to get up to adjust the volume, change the song, change the station, or turn off the music. Especially when your sound system is all the way across the room, who wants to have to get up from their relaxed position to change a song, or turn down the volume just to answer a quick call. With a wireless remote, all of that is gone, and you no longer have that problem.

Another small feature that just shows that microsoft really does care about their customer is that there is even a small spot to place your remote control in so that it never gets lost. How many times have you come home to find that your television controller has been misplaced, and it takes an aggrovating 20 minutes just to find it hidden between a couch cover or under a coffee table. Now you can simply place the remote back on your Zune Dock and your good to go.

One of the best features of this product, which really isn't a feature of the product itself, is a 1-year-warranty that your dock is backed by. You don't have to stress if your zune dock falls off the end of your table and suddenly stops working, microsoft will replace it for you up to one year, what a great service to have.

One Pot Galley Gourmet

One Pot Galley Gourmet, by Becky Coffield, is an irresistible cookbook specializing in easy-to-prepare, nutritious and delicious one pot meals. The book is intended for those who don't have the time, or the inclination, to spend all day in the kitchen (or galley) preparing a meal.

For boaters, each recipe carries a notation as to whether the recipe is a STOVE TOP, OVEN, BARBECUE, or SHOREPOWER meal. In addition, most of the ingredients used store well with little or no refrigeration and are usually accessible in most ports in the world. Also, a collection of bread recipes are included for those who venture far from stores and bakeries.

The book offers informative, and often humorous, tidbits of information generously sprinkled throughout, as well as an engaging account of the origins of Mud Bottom Cake, a tantalizing chocolaty treat. Coffield also strongly encourages the use of natural/organic products. Valuable tips on canning fish and making soup stock from scratch are also included.

The book contains an excellent selection of beef, fowl, fish, vegetarian and pork recipes. These meals range from the hearty yet simple, like Beef and Barley Mix and Burgundy Beans, to the elegant Lemon Chicken Linguini and (my personal favorite) Salmon Linguini. The ample recipes are easily halved or quartered for fewer servings. The book is not slanted towards fad diets or eating (low carb, low fat, high carb, etc.) Rather One Pot Galley Gourmet embraces healthful, wholesome, nutritional meals that are, by and large, EASY TO PREPARE.

Drawing largely on the author's first cookbook, You Can Conquer TMJ: Ideas and Recipes, which spent time considerable time addressing the issues of TMJD (temporomandibular jaw disorder) One Pot Galley Gourmet is a happy, fun read with more recipes, a half dozen or more bread baking recipes and easily concocted desserts. Coffield's creations will not come close to the likes of t.v.'s popular personalities and their haute cuisine, but you won't find an easier, more nutritious, entertaining cookbook on the market than One Pot Galley Gourmet.

One Pot Galley Gourmet is distributed by Robert Hale & Co., and is currently available at Captain's Nautical Supply, Amazon.com, and by mail order from www.rlcoffield.com/_wsn/page10.html.

A CD Review of Mashed Buddha's 'Zen Conspiracy'

DON'T FORGET TO COMMENT ON THIS ARTICLE

by Mark Kirby

When we last left John Corda, in the guise of drum 'n' bass superhero Mashed Buddha, on his full-length CD subdue your mind, he was adding elements, musical elements, to a genre that doesn't go much past mechanical repetition in rhythm and bleating electro sounds for tunes. To this, he added ideas such as composing songs - with themes that are developed, different levels of sound density, build ups and break downs - and adding elements of funk, rare groove, and heavy bass. Mashed Buddha conceives of his songs and his entire records in compositional terms. In other words, on Zen Conspiracy he keeps things moving like in any good story.

The title track has a stately intro and then the jungle groove kicks in like the opening credit sequence of the coolest noir romance. The relentless, ecstatic drum beat undergirds soulful piano, skittering synth sounds, and deep bass that rumbles with syncopation like dub reggae on ecstasy. The break down adds the earthiness of Afro-Cuban drums and percussion and Latin piano loops that evoke noir mystery. The song's elements mix, match, swoop down and buildup to unexpected plateaus of resolution. Like his preview EP Four Keys to Zen, this record brings in the element of jazz improvisation. Corda plays a solo that jazzes out but in the soul/blues styles of Ramsey Lewis or Stevie Wonder. This organic, earthbound element offers a nice contrast to the electronica, pumping more blood into the music.

Simplicity returns with the brief interlude "Laz" . Based on a simple funky lick and clocking in at about 90 seconds, it still has a verse and chorus, played on rich sounding keyboards and a skittish percussive track over a phat drum beat, which makes this an actual song. This leads to the next cut, "Temptation" . This song has an easy groove that invites sampling for a rapper, but only one that is having an early '90s flashback. The multiple tracks of clavinet-sounding keyboards are simply fresh. Corda's solo has an unfettered joy in its tap dancing rhythms and dense melodic runs. The shifting harmonies keep the music from getting static, and the orchestration of the various melodies and sounds, all building off of one simple riff, are a lesson is how to write a killer track. The keyboard runs drop out, multiply, layer over, and move away from each other. Mashed Buddha always has something happening in his songs.

"Hype" shows how much nuanced feeling can be communicated through electronica. The beat, a bouncy soul rock groove that is mixed with a recurring sound of reverse echoes or a camera shutter - hype, ya heard? - and low end synth licks, is perfect for the psychedelic vogueing that is going on... in my mind. Over top of this rolling river of sound are mysterioso vocals of a self-help nature by the mind-bender Uri Geller; who mutters phrases like, "part three stay positive, relaxed and confident" and "part one clearing your mind" that also cleverly herald another instrumental layer or counter melody from the keyboard. Each element added is not only complementary, but of a different texture. After the break down, previously heard parts of the song - Fender Rhodes chords, wailing synthesizers - come back, but in a developed or altered state. The synth gets edgier, the hype shutter sound gets denser, the low end blasts forth with a nasty fuzzzzz sound.

Just when you thought he would wane a bit from the killin' ideas and playing, he picks up the pace and not only gets more intense, but weirder. "Tryst" is perhaps the quintessential song on the CD. The beat is jungle drum 'n' bass at its most frenzied. The keyboard lick is a combination of chords and melody filtered through the densest white noise. The drum beat is mixed with percussive ghosts of sound that flit around like insects. A counter melody plays with a sound like the spectral organ of Mike Ratledge of the Soft Machine. The piece builds like a hiker climbing a slope to the level peak, resting, then climbing the next hill. In the middle of the song, there is the almost traditional electronica break down. But unlike the cliched break with a bleating mechanoid pulse or a wannabe Latin keyboard riff, here the song rolls into a swirling tsunami of electronic and percussive sounds. The crashing of the waves slides into a heavenly cloud of soulful jazz. Here, Corda takes a piano solo that rocks one soulful statement after the other, bringing that old time freedom jazz feeling to end of the musical journey.

"Arcane Persuasion" ends the CD with a slow, stately, Gothic finale. A pipe organ opens, then the bleating mechanoid sound I dissed earlier comes in, but morphs in and out of demented glockenspiel notes and fuzzy tubular bells.

Let's be clear: I wouldn't say I'm an electronica fan by any stretch. Most of it is boring and soulless and uninspired. It says a lot about an artist when he can take parts of a style of music one hates and make music one likes. It's like turning s%$t into gold. His next record should be called The Alchemist.

What Makes Doctor Who So Successful?

by Jayen Woods

I believe the first ever Doctor Who episode I ever watched must have been when I was around five or six; it was one of the old black and white episodes featuring the second doctor. I was absolutely glued to the television set from beginning to end. I just found the whole concept intriguing, the whole Tardis concept being bigger on the inside than the out, time travel, time loads, unconventional villains set in worlds totally different from our own and then you had some of the greatest villains ever created, the Daleks and the Cyber men.

For me there is no doubt in my mind that the Daleks are the best villains ever created, I just feel that other Sci-Fi villains that have been created over the years like the Borg or the Dominion from Star Trek just don't compare when you consider just how truly evil the Daleks are. It's that evil aspect to them that make them so powerful as characters, who can forget their shrieking voices? EXTERMINAT!!! EXTERMINAT!!!

And of cause no great series would be complete with out some great unique and different theme music and Doctor Who is no exception to this rule. The theme music in Doctor Who was one of the things that truly struck me about the whole series from the first time I heard it, different and unique are truly a understatement, it's probable the most unique and different piece of music ever created! It also is one of the first ever electronic pieces of music ever created; most people have no idea just how hard it was to create that kind of music in those days. Unlike today where we can just use a mixer to edit where we want sounds to go, in those days the only way to do it was to physically cut up the old tapes that the sound was recorded on and then stick the tapes back together where you wanted the sounds to change. It took the team who created the theme tune months of work, working all hours to get it together! The result; a truly timeless piece, even today it doesn't sound dated because quite simply there has never been anything like it! In the new Doctor Who series they have change the tune, adding to it some extra sounds, personally I don't like it because the sounds added are more normal and take away from the original uniqueness of the sound.

Many people's favorite Doctor from the old series was Tom Baker, but personally I've always favored John Pewee, I just loved the way he delivered his lines. I remember watching him in the sea monster episodes and countless others. Of cause there are many who say that the new and currently present Doctor for the new series; David Tennant is possibly the best ever doctor and I have to admit, he is really taking the character and flying with it! I believe he's said before now that he was a Doctor Who fan from very young and that to play in Doctor Who is a dream come true, that definitely would make sense when you look at the way he performs.

These days as I get busier and busier, I've been finding it harder and harder to find the time to sit down and view an episode on television, so recently I've been downloading Doctor Who audio books from the internet and listening to them with my mp3 player and car stereo. It's just great to be able to utilize my dead time with the enjoyment of a good Doctor Who episode, it helps me focus on my work and feel that much happier at the end of the day! Just recently I downloaded and listened to Doctor Who the Stone Rose! It's one of my favorite Doctor Who audio books from the new series, apart from having a great story line, it's narrated by David Tennant him self! All in all it's a great title.

Doctor Who audio books are also a great way to revisit some of the old episodes; some today are only available on audio book as the original television episode has been lost! All in all I find Doctor Who audio books the perfect way to enjoy the series with out taking up more of my time then I have.

Peggy McAllister receives an assignment from school that could lead her to win the Rattletop Award. Each year the winner's name is placed at the top of the list of engraved winner's names on a bronze plaque for the town to see for all time. Peggy is determined that she will have her name on this list, however she makes an unpopular choice for the competition that will involve more work than the other options she was presented with, disappointing her teacher immensely. But something about this name stood out for her and she followed her heart.

Peggy soon discovers that Molly Pitcher's historical documentation is difficult to locate and entire sections of the story of Molly's life are missing or contradictory forcing Peggy to interview people who have studied this era. Peggy's mother isn't well and is overworked, however, since they live with Peggy's Grandfather, she has ample support for the research project. His former career as a private investigator proved to be invaluable for Peggy in finding contacts and learning how to follow leads.

The research techniques and journey through the mystery of who was Molly Pitcher and what Molly's story was, can actually serve educators and parents well in that it shows the pleasure of a good mystery and the pride of solving the puzzle. The author also reveals the importance of good resources and contacts for research projects. The storyline also allows for small lessons on what an essay is, tips for doing a research project, detailing the work involved and the joy of finding answers. Another interesting educational aspect to the story is learning about the famous historical character in the US known as Molly Pitcher. The book has several images of historical war paintings and a few illustrations as well.

Author and award winning historian Linda Grant De Pauw has written 4 published historical non-fiction novels, 2 fiction novels and 2 other books for young readers. Peacock Press of Casadena (Maryland, USA) published her most recent book for young readers, In Search Of Molly Pitcher in 2007. The eye-catching cover design for this book, created by Kim Jacobs, held my attention repeatedly while trying to read the messages there.

Unfortunately, there is no information in the book itself as to the eco-printing or eco-publishing options that many conscious publishers are embracing today. For this reason alone, I have deducted a half star. Overall I think this book will be a wonderful adventure for young readers.
