FACES AND PLACES: Hooked on the Old West

June 15th, 2010

Ross Rolshoven is an eclectic collector.

American Indian artifacts, a pair of Elvis Presley’s pants and vintage boats are among the ensemble of items that Rolshoven has accumulated over the years.

Rolshoven, a Grand Forks private investigator, got started collecting when he was a boy. He grew up on the outskirts of Mandan, N.D., where he found artifacts such as arrowheads and tools. He also frequently visited Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park near Mandan. The state park once housed six companies of the Cavalry, which was overseen by George Armstrong Custer.

Meanwhile, Rolshoven spent a lot of time on the Mandan ranches of his uncles and fell in love with the West and the cowboy way of life.

“From an early age, it was always something that fascinated me,” he said.

Scheme of Color For Your Dinning Room Walls

April 20th, 2010

Are you really frustrated from your plain white color walls? Do you really want something new and colorful for your dinning room walls? Are you really fed up seeing hose same pale and light color walls? Do you really desire to change your wall color? Then the real big solution to all your problems is really very simple. You can refer to the color charts which are available in market, and you can choose the appropriate color for your wall.

As you know red is the color of love, intimacy, so you can go for this color, if you want to enjoy these kinds of intimacy around you. Red is a kind of color which leaves a very strong impression on your mind. But sometimes this color is inappropriately used. If you are thinking of using this color, then you need, to be really very careful about some things. Sometimes dark colors like red give a feeling of anger or jealousy. And if it is wrongly used then it can be the reason of spreading negative vibes.

Now let’s come to the next color, which is really very close to nature. Green is the color which symbolizes growth and if you looking forward for something like this, then don’t give a thought, just goes for it. Some others things which you can easily relate with this color is a kind peace in your environment. And even when you use this color, then you really found you’re self very close to nature. People often use this color in order to create a vibrant and positive environment around them.

Green is the kind of color which almost matches well along with other colors of our world. You can use this color for designing your kitchen, and you will feel great.

Blue is the color which gives you a very refreshing feel. The ‘blue’ color’ is also the preferred color of men. People, who are often bored of their work or are often tired because of their busy schedules, can go for different shades of blue. Even blue is the kind of color which gives you a feel of larger room than it actually is. You can use this color in designing your bed room walls as well your living room walls.

Now we come to the color of yellow. Yellow is the color which brightens up the rooms. As sun brightens up our life every morning, in the same way this color brightens up our day to day life. But please do remember that this is the color which is most difficultly seen by our eyes because this color reflects back large amount of light. Yellow is the right color for people who are happy go lucky kind of nature. But mostly yellow is the color which do not matches well with other color. You can use this color in a darken kind of room. I can guarantee you that it definitely going to brighten up your room as well as your life.

While matching all this color scheme for your dinning room walls one should not forget to match the harmony of wall color and the color that of your window curtains. Having the curtains of the same shade that of walls adds to cool look of your dinning room. So while matching color scheme of dinning room walls. Also match the color scheme with window curtains too.

Master Replica Muppets Line Dead! NOT! – Sideshow Freaks

March 31st, 2010

For those who are collecting these, I found a post by a Rep explaining the Death of the Line after only 3 Posers.

This also may explain the uncertainty of other Future products and Higher end collectibles of how the collectible Industry works. How long can Sideshow keep going? ………………………………………….. …………..

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, and yes, we could have done things differently or perhaps better, but we cannot change that now. What is important is the future and how we go forward. Nobody likes to be the bearer of bad tidings or give bad news, but honestly folks its tough out there. Its brutal. We do this for a living, it puts food on our tables and pays our bills. Its not a game, or a joke. So lets have some FACTS

1)Gonzo and Animal have been very disappointing. We have attempted to push sales by drastically reducing the prices and they are still very slow.
2)We showed Fozzie at all major trade and public events in 2007 and early 2008 such as SDCC and got absolutely ZERO interest from potential buyers. It was too big, too expensive and too risky were the common complaints. We did not even get a glimmer of interest, sure lots of people loved him, as we do, but were not willing to translate that love into an order, which in the cold light of day is what matters. The few retailers who did choose to speculatively list Fozzie as a pre-order had similar lacklustre results.
3)Believe us we have tried and tried and tried to get our Muppets posers in with every possible stockist, all the ones that have been suggested on this thread, turned the range down flat. They see it as simply too specialist.
4)We cannot find a factory who is able to produce Fozzie to the standard and quality that you and we both require. We want to meet or exceed expectations, and do not want to face similar complaints to those we faced with Gonzo and Animal on accuracy and authenticity. We will not simply throw out a sub-standard Fozzie out there, or any product for that matter.
5)Its not just a quality problem, it is simply an availability problem. A total of 3,631 toy exporters in China or 52.7 percent of the entire industry’s businesses shut down in the first seven months of 2008. It is a bloodbath out there. Many of our long term partners are no longer in business. news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7670351.stm

New Music / Pop and Rock / Justin Bieber

March 27th, 2010

Justin Bieber My World 2.0 (Universal)

If you can measure fame by Internet searches and mall riots, then Justin Bieber is one of the most popular artists in the world, with 150 million YouTube and MySpace plays and several riots to his credit. The phenomenon has been dubbed Bieber Fever, and if you’re a female under the age of 15, you just might have it.

The cure, of course, is more Bieber.

My World 2.0 is a continuation of his debut album, which was released in November. The 10 tracks are unabashed tween-pop bubblegum ditties and lite R&B, odes to young love backed by playful synth lines and dance beats. Bieber — who can play numerous instruments and gets co-writing credit on all 10 tracks — possesses a passable voice, but sometimes it’s so processed it’s hard to tell what’s real.

With a team behind him that includes Usher and Antonio L.A. Reid, the material is all strong and will appeal to its target market without offending the parents — a good thing, since this is all they’re going to hear for the next little while. 3 stars

Wired Magazine: “Can Surround Sound Save MP3?”

March 21st, 2010

Ever since computers picked up the handy ability to play decent-sounding music, fans have overwhelmingly defaulted to the MP3 format for audio files because it sounds pretty good, doesn’t take up much space and (perhaps most importantly) works with more devices than any other digital audio format.

It may seem as if the venerable MP3 standard is here to stay, but it faces attack from a number of angles. first, it doesn’t sound as good, byte-for-byte, as files purchased from iTunes Music Store (in the AAC format) or any of the Microsoft-compliant stores.

Second, the CD rippers/encoders that most people use — iTunes and Windows Media Player — have encouraged users to rip to AAC and WMA over the years. third, only one major online music store, eMusic, proffers songs in the MP3 format, and it lacks most major releases. Fourth, geeks who love MP3 for its wide compatibility can now choose from preferable open-source alternatives such as Ogg Vorbis.

Finally, today’s faster connections and more capacious hard drives have audiophiles turning to lossless codecs such as FLAC and those offered by Apple Computer and Microsoft.

Thomson, the entity that licenses the MP3 format to the world (it’s not free or open source, as some suspect), tried to update MP3 for the first time in 2001, to the mp3Pro format. That effort failed. only RCA — owned by Thomson — added mp3Pro support to its MP3 players, and consumers mainly ignored it.

In its second attempt to shepherd the MP3 format into the future, Thomson’s MP3 Licensing Group unveiled a new format last year, a surround-sound version of the MP3 format imaginatively called MP3 Surround.

Reviews

New Built to Spill Single
Good ol’ Doug Marsch and his jangly cohorts have released a single that purrs like a finely tuned Lamborghini, called “Goin’ Against your Mind” (from the upcoming You in Reverse album). This song has it all, yet doesn’t blare into your ear about it for half the night. Marsch’s timing and restraint here are impeccable, and his results are all the stronger for it.

Deerhoof Won’t Jump Shark
After being exposed to Deerhoof, it’d be pretty hard to mistake the group for another band. Searing guitars, off-kilter, angular measures, and some pretty-sounding female vox all sit here on a pop-music couch, discussing the lives of various specific Japanese insects … maybe. It was sort of hard to tell.

New Belle & Sebastian Single
Many love them for their songwriting genius and sensitive, bookish outlook on life, while others hate them for being wimpy and sounding AOR-ish. This band works great for me, but I cannot guarantee those results for you. the new single, called “Another Sunny Day,” from the upcoming The Life Pursuit, spotlights a nice descending guitar line, almost gets country at one specific moment, serves up some harmonies between Isabel and Stuart, and is generally OK, although I don’t think it can compete with the group’s best stuff.

Best Extended Road Trip Song
I drove across the country last week (and the week before that), and heard my iPod cough up what I estimate to be the finest song for that exact moment when road weariness becomes slap-happiness: “Chicken Train” by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils. It’s hard to describe, and unfortunately it’s not available online for love or money, but I recommend tracking it down somehow if you’re a fan of awesomeness.

MP3 Surround files are essentially ordinary MP3s with an additional layer of information that tells compatible players where to place sounds. New devices designed to support the format deliver rich and accurate surround sound — whether through a 5.1-channel system or simulated through a pair of stereo headphones. the format adds minimal overhead, consuming just 15 additional bits per second. And it is backward compatible, so MP3 Surround files will play on any device that supports plain-vanilla MP3, sans surround.

During my tests, MP3 Surround performed well enough to warrant serious consideration among device manufacturers and music fans. the songs sounded more expansive and present than their stereo counterparts, and I didn’t hear any additions to the sound that marred the experience. I used Shure E3c earbuds for testing, so the surround effect is evidently not dependent on having full-size headphones.

In order for you to hear MP3 Surround today, you’ll need a computer with the playback software installed (available on all4mp3.com). But computer playback is no longer enough. If a digital audio format is to succeed these days, it’ll need support on a wide array of home and portable devices.

Several promising avenues for MP3 Surround home playback loom on the horizon. According to Rocky Caldwell, general manager of Thomson’s MP3 Licensing Group, any DVD player could be upgraded with firmware to decode MP3 Surround files and pass the bits through to a 5.1 amplifier using a digital connection. RCA plans to release a player that comes standard with that capability later this year.

Because home theater-in-a-box units already have six channels of amplification, a manufacturer could include MP3 Surround support right out of the box. Caldwell told me Thomson is leveraging the strong relationships it forged with manufacturers to add MP3 Surround support to next year’s devices.

The third possibility could be the most promising: Caldwell said “a major Japanese consumer-electronics manufacturer” will be releasing a device similar to the Xbox that might include MP3 Surround support natively. Needless to say, the integration of MP3 Surround into the Sony PlayStation 3 would be a huge shot in the arm to the new format, especially because so many PS3s will be purchased by tech-savvy types and connected to surround-sound systems.

Right-wing TV hosts gain viewers since Obama victory.

March 8th, 2010

Let me tell you why Fox’s ratings are so high, particularly now:Right-wingers, who always have this underdog mentality, now feel like they’re completely surrounded. and in a way, they are.So they’ve got this siege mentality in normal times; now it’s even worse. and so they flock to those who make them feel better. Media touchstones; the country has voted against them – but on Fox, they are always right! on Fox, the America they know and love – Republican, conservative America – is celebrated! They can commisserate, they can complain, they can listen to the clanging of the echo chamber, and they can pretend what they hear there is somehow reflective of what the country as a whole thinks.It ain’t.But so long as they remain within the cocooon, they don’t have to confront that unpleasant fact.
