Downloading Movies At Your Home Can Be Better Than The Video Store

By Marvin U Gibson

One of the most excellent and most economical sources of leisure is watching a film that you can enjoy in the retreat of your own abode. Today there are many ways to come across the film that you want to view, you can go to a video store, become a member of a mail service or maybe the most excellent choice yet is to download the film right on your computer.

There are many benefits for downloading films directly to your computer. You do not have to take the jaunt to the video store. You never have to wait for the movie to be ready and of course, you do not have to fret about returning the motion picture. Yet you need to do some research at the outset to become confident that you are receiving a improved experience from downloading than you would get from your local video store.

The truth is that the overhead expenditure of a movie download website are much fewer than the overhead expenditure of the standard video store. There is no charge for packaging and there are no outlay for the brick and mortar place. Therefore, you will regularly end up saving cash over a video store if you choose a decent movie download membership site.

There are many services offered to download movies. There are, however, some illegally operating sites. These websites will often just give you snips of a movie rather than a complete film. There is also the risk of ads being located in the middle just like a commercial on Television. In order to have a excellent experience than the video store you need to shop around and make sure of what you are getting.

A cautionary warning that you should look for when looking for a excellent film download service is the price of downloading the show. There are very few quality material things that you can get for free. That encompasses film downloads. The sites that are offering motion picture downloads for free of charge are frequently providing bootleg versions and they are circumventing copyright laws. There is also the probability of adware showing up on your computer and the risk of viruses.

Most of the authorized websites have a membership choice where you pay a charge and then you are permitted infinite downloads for a interval of time. Infrequently there is also a pay-per-download choice, but if you ever want to download more than one or two movies that regularly ends up costing quite a bit more.

The charges that are charged cover the overheads of maintenance on the service of course, along with a profit margin and to cover all of the legal aspects, a royalty payment for the copyright owner of the motion picture. Copyright laws are significant for all of us, so that we can continue to enjoy the work of other people and they can make an revenue from their labor.

Downloading films is becoming an all the time more common way to get the movies that you want to see. It is a great alternative that provides ease and saves cash. Just make sure that you find a trustworthy and legal website and avoid the services that break the copyright and piracy laws so that we all can continue to take benefit of this great technology in the future. - 18780

The Remastered Beatles CDs Are A "Must Buy" For All Real Beatles Fans

By Laurence Henry Hanson

If you're like me then you already own every Beatles album on CD. And if that's the case it's likely that you may be thinking to yourself "Why should I buy all of The Beatles albums again just because they're being re-released on CD?"

But you need to realize that these new remastered versions of The Beatles albums are not like the ones you have on CD now.

The difference between the 1987 CDs (1987 is when The Beatles music was first released on CD) and the CDs included in The new Beatles Mono Box Set is obvious. This is the first time that the original mono mixes of The Beatles albums are on CD.

These mono mixes are the way The Beatles originally intended their music to be heard when they recorded their music in the 1960s.

The reason for this is that in the '60s nearly everyone listened to their albums in mono so it made no sense for The Beatles to worry much about the stereo mix. On the other hand the mono mix was slaved over until it was perfect.

In the '60s the mono mixes were definitely considered to be the "real version" of The Beatles albums. And even since the stereo mixes have moved to prominence there have been many who have claimed that the mono mixes sound better.

So that explains why the mono box set is a must buy for all Beatles fans, but what about the stereo box set? There's nothing new about The Beatles albums being in stereo on CD, so why should we buy that? Well, this is newly remastered stereo.

What does that mean? It means that these CDs should sound significantly better than the ones we've had over the last 22 years. They will be louder and there will be more details heard in the music. These remastered stereo CDs will be the new standard for The Beatles albums, so you don't want to be one of The Beatles fans who is "left out" because they haven't heard these new versions. - 18780

Kali Music Series - Goddess Kali, Terrifying Erotic Initiatress

By Hans Havasi

Goddess Kali, First Of The 10 Wisdom Goddesses Mahavidya

Kali is the first in line of the fascinating Tantric pantheon of wisdom Goddesses, the MahaVidya. She has black skin, many arms, glaring eyes, wears a necklace of severed heads and dances on the body of Shiva (the masculine principle of the universe). Her tongue hangs out of her mouth dripping blood while laughing loudly at the attachment of humans. A terrifying sight indeed.

There exists a lot of symbolism in this gruesome iconography. It is a picture of our coming death and of our mortality. The symbolism also shows the transcendent nature of the masculine principle (symbolized by the dead Shiva upon who she dances) and the active chaotic nature of the feminine principle (Kali herself). Another aspect of this symbolism is Kali as wild, erotic energy. It is this aspect we shall touch upon in this article.

Goddess Kali and eroticism

Sexual energy is in its essence feminine and needs to be guided by our conscious masculine principle. If not so it becomes wild and frantic and will control us instead of us controlling it. Kali appears terrible to us because we cannot appreciate her huge power and our own sexual potential. Any woman who starts a worship of Kali will awaken her sexuality becoming able to fully enjoy life, her own energy and knows of the power of love.

The egoistic mind, which is stiff and afraid, fears such a female expansive energy. Through the ages men have feared these strong displays of femininity and her energy which has been repressed through centuries. It is in fact a fear of life energy itself which is in itself erotic, expansive and feminine. As we fear the fully awakened woman (in tantra referred to as Shakti) we fear life itself.

So therefore Kali appears terrible for most of us who do not understand her deeper meaning.

Goddess Kali And Kundalini

In Tantra it is said that our spiritual development starts with an awakening of our sexual energy called Kundalini. Kundalini lies coiled up at the base of our spines. When awakened it will travel up our spines transforming itself to more refined kinds of energy such as wisdom, love, intuition, clairvoyance etc.

The energy is traditionally symbolized as a snake which awakens when we start playing the flute of spiritual transformation and spiritual practice.

Goddess Kali and Tantric Rituals

Kali can be invoked through meditation with her mantra (which should be given to the adept by a tantric master) or can also be invoked through the continual gazing upon her yantra (please see the picture). Meditation upon yantras is a very powerful tool to calm down the mind and to enter into a process of resonance with the Goddess.



Kali can also be worshipped through erotic tantric rituals where the woman is first adored by the man as an embodiment of the Goddess before the foreplay and lovemaking start. After the ritual the man and woman separate and each make an individual tantra yogic practice (consisting of certain yoga positions and pranayamas ie breathing exercises) or meditations upon the Goddess.

If done correctly and at the right moments, these rituals will create deep processes of transformation in the hearts of the two lovers. - 18780

By Rolo Tomasi

Many people aspire to play the guitar like their favorite musician. That is why the video game Guitar Hero is so very popular. But unlike the game, when it come to actually learning how to play guitar only a few are willing to commit time, energy and temporary pain to become a real life Guitar Hero.

When you take the time to develop the talent your confidence will be real and sky high and no game will give you that kind of feeling. You will realize that a video game is a temporary and unsatisfying escape compared to the life long joy that playing the actual guitar will give you

A good but inexpensive steel string acoustic guitar is the best investment that a beginner can make even when you have envision yourself playing an electric guitar like a rock star. There are many places to get a good durable guitar, but the best place is the local guitar store.

Many people want to know how to play, but few are going to put themselves through the type of discipline that it take to become a real life Guitar Hero. But you are not one of those people. You know the value of being the real thing - 18780

A Shopping Guide for Guitar Effects Pedals

By R. S. Rasnick

Effects pedals for the guitar have been around since the 1960s, when electric guitar based music and rock 'n' roll were on the rise. Roger Mayer, an engineer, is believed to have created the first guitar effects pedals, which was known as as "fuzz box" (today known as distortion or overdrive) and the "wah-wah" pedal. Mayer created pedals that were used by the likes of legendary rockers Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, and Jimmy Page (for whom Mayer, his friend, reportedly created the first pedal in 1963 or 1964). Today, numerous effects are widely used by electric guitar players.

Guitarists use effects pedals to give themselves a wider variety of sound choices to use during recording or live performances. While different amplifiers can offer some of the alternatives, not many amplifiers have built-in effects. Besides, guitar players would have to go to their amplifiers every time they wanted to make a change. Effects pedals are much more convenient, especially since guitarists often change tones in the middle of a song.

Just as the invention of the electric guitar and the amplifier gave the guitar player a far more powerful voice and greater sustainability of notes, so the effects pedals gave him a far wider range of expressive options. Today, even some acoustic guitar players and classical guitar players use effects pedals although the distortion and wah pedals used by electric guitar players aren't usually part of their tonal palette.

Since the first pedals were created, rack-mounted guitar effects have become more common. These were more popular during the 1980's, thanks to companies like Yamaha and Eventide. Since rack gear requires a more sophisticated and time-consuming approach (not to mention considerably more money) than pedals, most guitar players prefer effects pedals for their simplicity and tweakability.

So, with their effects usually mounted on pedalboards (a way to transport and store effects pedals), electric guitar players have only to "stomp" on the pedal box (hence the name "stompbox") to instantly switch on or switch off an effect. The wah-wah pedal and volume pedal is a little different than the others in that the player "rocks" the pedal back and forth to adjust the sound.

Most pedals, though, have a simple on-off feature. For instance, the ubiquitous distortion tone of hard rock and metal guitar players can be instantly switched off and the guitar's "clean channel" allowed to be played, to give a different feel to different sections of a song. Another simple stomp, and the distorted tone comes roaring back.

Guitarists often spend a great deal of time tweaking their effects, amps, and guitars just to get the "perfect" sound that they've been searching for. There are literally thousands of effect devices for you to chose from. Some more common effects include volume, wah, compression, distortion, overdrive, chorus, echo/delay, tremolo, and vibrato. Effects such as these can drastically and effectively shape a guitarist's sound.

If you are guitarist who is wondering how you can shape your sound in new and exciting ways, then check out the above guitar effects. They might inspire you in ways you never considered possible. - 18780
