Music Industry RIP - via Rolling Stone .com 2007-06-28 22:48:00 The major labels are struggling to reinvent their business models, even as some wonder whether it's too late. "The record business is over," says music attorney Peter Paterno, who represents Metallica and Dr. Dre. "The labels have wonderful assets -- they just can't make any money off them." One senior music-industry source who requested anonymity went further: "Here we have a business that's dying. There won't be any major labels pretty soon."In 2000, U.S. consumers bought 785.1 million albums; last year, they bought 588.2 million (a figure that includes both CDs and downloaded albums), according to Nielsen SoundScan. In 2000, the ten top-selling albums in the U.S. sold a combined 60 million copies; in 2006, the top ten sold just 25 million.(source: RollingStone

Why of course... it's a Zorse?? 2007-06-28 00:10:00 SOMETHING’S not quite white about this animal. It has two bizarre patches of stripes on its head and flank thanks to a strange parentage. Dad was a zebra stallion, mum was a horse . . . so their odd-looking offspring is known as a zorse.The animal, called Eclyse, can be seen at a safari park in Schloss Holte-Stukenbrock, Germany.Trust us, it’s not an April Foal. It is Real!!! Looks Fake, but it is REAL!!What is your opinion?Subscribe to my Posts... Read more:course

I know this: if life is an illusion, then I am no less an illusion, and being thus, the illusion is real to me. I live, I burn with life, I love, I slay, and I am content. (Robert E.

Art Bell Retires...again (sigh)! 2007-07-02 22:01:00 from wiki:Art Bell announced his retirement from weekend hosting on July 1, 2007. Art stated that the reason for this latest retirement is his desire to spend time with his wife and new daughter born in May, 2007. Art Bell stated he will host occasional shows in the future but will no longer host regularly on weekends. Art also said that unlike his other "retirements", this one will stand.***I don't know how many of you have ever listened to Coast to Coast AM. To me, and all of us freaks who find themselves up late at night and want to pass the time listening to stories of bigfoot, Area 51 and shadow people, it's the best. The weekend is when it really shines for me though - I just like listening to Art. Yeah, I'm depressed.What is your opinion?Subscribe to my Posts...
My Cell Phone, LG VX8600 2007-07-06 22:21:00 All pics that i post from my phone are to these specs. I use a 1gig MicroSD memory card with the phone as well.The VX8600 comes packed with a 1.3-megapixel camera with 8x zoom that also doubles as a camcorder with 4x zoom. It comes with a slew of options that allow you to make your simple snapshots stand out. You can adjust the resolution (1280x960, 640x480, 320x240, 176x144, 160x120)or the brightness; choose from five white balance settings, three shutter sounds (plus a silent option) and six color effects; and turn night mode on or off. There's also a camera self-timer and the ability to turn the external display into a viewfinder. Camcorder options include brightness and white balance settings, and two recording times (15 seconds for a multimedia message or unlimited according to the available memory). Picture quality was pretty good, though we can't say the same for the shoddy video quality, since it can only record in 176x144 video resolution. On the other hand, that's to be ex Read more:Cell Phone

Cloverfield. Here's what we know so far... 2007-07-04 15:43:00 Here's a bootleg trailer. It showed up before some Transformers screenings. Click!Here's the youtube vs - not as easy to follow. You can hear someone say, "It's alive! It's huge!":Here's the wiki article: Paramount is denying the movie even exists. Click!It's all shot on consumer cameras from the perspective of the people running from the monster (or whatever it is) on the street. Might be a secret Godzilla movie, not sure.This is the first thing I've been excited about in a year or more. Good job, other JJ, my interest is peaked (and that's hard to do)!What is your opinion?Subscribe to my Posts...

Health... 2007-07-09 16:59:00 How many of you can say that you are truly healthy? I would like to be able to say that, but I can’t. I get regular exercise as all of you know and I feel much better for doing it. When I went to the doctor about 9 months ago, he said that my BMI (Body Mass Index) was a little high for my height and age. I told him that I would start trying to ride my bike more and that was over 9 months ago. I checked my BMI about 3 weeks ago and I was lower than what it should be. I am very happy about that.For most of my life I have not liked vegetables. I still do no like them, but I am trying to eat more of them I do use supplements to offset the lack of eating them. Where I work, I walk an incredible amount because of the nature of my job I am on my feet a lot. So, I think that in conjunction with biking and walking as well as cutting down on the snacks, I have been able to loose about 20 pounds without even dieting. To be blessed with good health is wonderful.I guess that there comes a time in Read more:Health
Shopping at the mall... 2007-07-09 07:43:00 I guess that it was Saturday afternoon that my wife and I went to Chesterfield Town center. It is a local mall that we shop at sometimes. While we were parking our car, we saw a fight between two kids outside. The little one was getting beat up by a bigger kid. We both reached for our cell phones and called 911. Chesterfield PD was on the scene quickly and took our statements. One of the kids tried to run away and go to his car and leave. We were able to get his license plate number and gave a description of his car. We then went into the mall and finished our business.On another day, back in 1993, a friend and I were in Beaumont Texas going to Parkdale Mall. We got out of my car and heard a scream! We looked at the front of the mall and we saw a man with a woman and a knife to her neck under her chin. I happened to have a cell in my car, so I called 911 and cave a description of the car and person. The police came and went after that person. Several months later, we got lett Read more:Shopping

More Net Neutrality Stuff... 2007-07-08 12:08:00 To quote Wikipedia:Network neutrality (equivalently "net neutrality", "internet neutrality" or "NN") refers to a principle that is applied to residential broadband networks, and potentially to all networks. Precise definitions vary, but a broadband network free of restrictions on the kinds of equipment attached and the modes of communication allowed would be considered neutral by most advocates, provided it met additional tests relating to the degradation of various communication streams by others.[1][2][3]The principle of Net Neutrality
and regulations designed to support the neutrality of the internet have been subject to vociferous debate in various forums. Since the early 2000s, advocates of Net Neutrality rules have warned of the danger that broadband providers will use their power over the "last mile" to block applications they do not favor, and also to discriminate between content providers (i.e. websites, services, protocols), particularly competitors. Neutrality proponents als

"Crank" The Movie... 2007-07-14 20:44:00 I know that I am a little behind n watching movies. The wife and i watched this last night. It action was very different than most of Jason Statham other movies like The Transporter 1&2. He still plays the Killer/Professional Hit Man as in other movies, but the acting style is very different."Professional assassin Chev Chelios (Statham) learns his rival (Cantillo) has injected him with a poison that will kill him if his heart rate drops."It seams to be a very plausible story line, "The Beijing Cocktail" sounds real, but the action was very campy, almost like a very poor "C" grade Kung-Fu movie. It started off normal, but his actions during the movie trying to keep his hears beating and wanting to get revenge on his killer made it funny. And with Amy Smart as his girlfriend, she played the dumb blond very well. It was a fun movie to watch if you don’t try to compare it to any of his other films. Some of the events that happen are over the top so to speak like when he was having se Read more:Crank
