Customise Album Artwork for iTunes

Most people now have an iPod of some sort to listen to music on. Having access to all this music wherever you go is truly amazing. You can pretty much listen to any song in your library anytime you want, without needing to remember to take the correct cassettes or CDs with you. All your music in your pocket, everywhere you go. One problem is, that the iTunes library becomes messy over time. You end up with duplicate songs, many songs, artists and albums don't have the correct track names associated, and the right cover art never seems to be available.

Removing the duplicated tracks is a pretty straightforward process, and you can see how to do this on the Apple support site. It does become a problem when you have a really large library though, and let's face it, who doesn't? The effort involved increases with the number of tracks, and basically becomes an pain in the backside. A serious pain. I did some research into the problem to see if there is an easy way around this. THere are a number of 'scripts' provided by programmers, but these are Mac specific and require some technical knowledge to use.

I've come to the conclusion that the only way to do this correctly is a software package that automates the entire process. Software cleans your music library, doesn't require much input from you, and gets the job done. These products clear duplicates, fixes missing track and genre info, and updates your missing cover art, all automatically. If you run this every week, your library will be maintained properly, without you needing to do any of the work. Thousands of users and music lovers with large libraries are already using this, as it's the best way to keep your music collection clean. Go to the site below to get an overview of the product, and a step by step guide for doing the work manually, then decide.

American Idol 10 – eight left and counting


American Idol voters, you stink.

But first, the show.

Opening medely – fun, even James did okay on “The Letter.” I’m sure Paul found it hard to hold up a fist and scream, “Repazent!” when they finished the Skynyrd tune.

I’d never heard of Constantine Maroulis, who apparently was a season 4 contender, but when the camera moved up on this long haired microphone-gripper with a scarf tied to the mike stand in a shameless smooch to Steven Tyler, my douchebag radar went off like an air raid siren. He sang “Unchained Melody,” which was already a bit overdone, and he really overdid it; it came out burned on top like a pan of biscuits left in the oven five minutes too long. He seemed like a nice enough guy in the interview, but send me a warning when he approaches the stage next time.

Hey, I didn’t know you could say “shit” on network TV! I guess you can if your name is Iggy Pop. I’ve always loved this freak, though “Real Wild Child” is one of his weaker hit songs. Who knows, maybe he’s tired of singing “The Passenger.”

And then the bottom three.

Jacob, Stefano and Pia. What’s wrong with 2/3 of this picture?

Stefano’s had a good run and is certainly better than a lot of the people who’ve gotten cut (but not recently), but Jacob? Pia? They’re both top-echelon. Yeah, Jacob’s statement that if he was eliminated it was because America “Couldn’t look itself in the mirror” was pretty damn pompous, but you expect ego and attitude from people that talented. As long as he belts out the tunes like a champ, it’s a small crime. And Pia? Really?

And then the judgment came down. Pia is out.

I’m glad to see that the judges were all as totally floored by this judgment call as I was when I found out. It wasn’t hard at all to read the “WTF?” on Randy’s lips, and Jennifer looked like one of her own children had just fallen down a well. Mr. Cool Ryan Seacrest even seemed a bit disturbed. When asked, all three judges responded, well, as they should have. Absolutely confounded. Ms. Toscone herself was very well composed, no tears, all in order like a pro. I’m sure the waterworks came later, but she was ready for her final song which she threw down, as always, like a star. After it was over, that camera shot of Jennifer again, hands up, shaking her head in disbelief pretty much said it all.

I don’t live in the U.S. and therefore can’t vote in this contest, so I guess I have an excuse. In the long run, again, it’s just a game show, and of course Pia could have done her career worse than making it into the top nine of a high-profile TV show. She’ll be on the tour and no doubt she, like Scotty, could survive a cut and go one to a very successful career. We shall see.

The results show a few of the flaws in the voting system on this show.

I’ve heard a lot about the cute boy syndrome on the show, where young girls vote for whoever they think is the most dishy male singer. This explains the continued presence of both James and Stefano and to a lesser degree, Paul (who has some modicum of talent). Conversely, the same girls tend to be a bit catty with the female singers, so maybe someone like Pia, who is astonishingly beautiful and talented, is a bit too much competition for the little Heathers out there. The cushiony Lauren is maybe more acceptable… but then there’s Haley, so I dunno. Not a perfect theory.

Scotty, Lauren and Paul may have an extra layer of protection around them because they’re southerners. We have constituted a disproportionate number of Idol winners, because we tend to support our own and because, well, we take music seriously because it’s something we’re just damn good at. Deal with it, United Statesians.

I’d like to think it’s because of his talent, but maybe Jacob is now benefitting from being the only black contender left. It didn’t keep him out of the bottom three this week, however.

It hurts, though, to see such a talent step off the stage, but that’s what’s always going on here.

Pia darling? I’m a big fan. You’ve got tremendous charisma onstage, you’re beyond gorgeous and your voice makes me happy to be alive. You’re a star, baby. Don’t stop singing, whatever you do.

So it’s eight now.

American Idol voters? I beg you; next week SEND JAMES DURBIN HOME.

He has worn out his welcome for this international viewer.

All about Katy Perry on tour

Born on 25th October 1984 in Santa Barbara, South California, Katy later discovered her singing talents through the church and listening to Gospel music. Soon she found herself in Nashville, Tennessee – the home of Country Rock music. She was signed to a small indie label and recorded a Gospel Rock album under her original name Katy Hudson.

After several knock backs, she changed her name to Katy Perry and suddenly found fame with the controversial hit record ‘I Kissed A Girl’. This launched her into the mainstream and after gaining major support from the press and radio, soon followed up with her platinum selling album ‘One Of The Boys’ in 2008.

Later that year Katy won ‘Best New Act’ at the European MTV Awards and in 2009 was proud to receive a BRIT award for ‘Best International Female’. This rise to fame allowed her to headline her own Katy Perry Tour in 2009, titled ‘Hello Katy’ which was her first ever worldwide tour around North America, Europe, Australia and Asia. In 2010 she released her brand new single ‘California Gurls’, featuring rapper Snoop Dogg, that hit no.1 in the Billboard Charts. This propelled her even further into the stratosphere. The ‘Teenage Dream’ single and album soon followed in July 2010, followed by the 3nd single ‘Firework’.

2011, brings a brand new Katy Perry tour – California Dreams Tour. The tour is a much bigger tour than her previous as she has grown in popularity. She often visits places like Portugal, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, France, Belgium and the Netherlands. In the UK, usual tour dates include London, Manchester, Liverpool and Ireland as well as Nottingham, Bournemouth, Cardiff and Newcastle.

The Australian leg of the Katy Perry tour usually includes Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane. She visits New Zealand too for a couple of dates in Auckland and Wellington. Whilst she is there, she sometimes flies to Japan performing in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka. Katy Perry tour goes to a lot of USA and Canadian dates as well seen as that is her home country of America. It often visits cities such as Duluth, onto Orlando and Tampa, in Florida, Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa and finally Cleveland, Milwaukee following on to Saint Paul.

The tour even goes to Rio De Janeiro, in Brazil, so there is chance for Latin American fans to go and see her as well without having to travel to the USA or elsewhere. Katy Perry does a lot of tour dates in the UK and particularly several in London which is very popular and sells out quickly. They take place at large Arena style venues. Ireland dates are often in Dublin at the famous O2 arena, host to many of the world’s biggest musical stars. She often does a couple of dates here for her Irish fans.

Self Storage For Musical Instruments


If you are a musician, you are bound to have a lot of musical instruments, which can vary from your current musical accessories to your collectibles. You can never seem to get rid of your old instruments, and your emotional attachment with them necessitates a secure self storage.

Are you an Internet savvy person with a passion for musical instruments? Being an online retailer of musical instruments is a great business venture for the musically inclined entrepreneur looking for a way to make some real income off of their interests. Musical instruments provide the art form that is music to our ears. And people love them so much; they even decorate their houses with instruments, even if they don’t play them, to impress guests to their homes. Actual musicians are just trying to find ways to purchase them at a cheaper rate. Of course, they’re looking online.

First, think about the type of music store you envision. Don’t have capital for a storefront or room for inventory? Self storage is the perfect place to store your inventory. Will you specialize in one type of instrument? Or have a variety of percussion, keyboards and guitars. Look into wind instruments, musical accessories like shakers and tambourines, amplifiers, cases, DJ equipment, electric guitars, microphones, and string instruments. The possibilities are endless, but try to form a niche. To make your store unique, stick with where you have the most experience. If you’re like most online entrepreneurs, you might be a bit strapped for cash. Have any other skills? A way to increase profits is to offer local classes to music students or clubs and perhaps even rent some of your inventory out to them. Your online business can start on a part-time basis from home. A self storage can safely keep any inventory you’re keeping and is easy to access once you make that first sale.

Once you get going, start a VIP club or offer discounts to regulars and students to make them feel special. Everyone loves a good deal and it’s a great way to get your customers to keep coming back. In the age of the Internet, anyone can have an online business. It doesn’t cost much to start one, and with facilities like self storage units, your overhead is marginal. Make sure you’re always updating your website to keep up with current technology and trends. The music industry changes constantly and your online instrument business should always reflect changes to keep up. Perhaps the greatest benefit of an online musical instrument business is that you have something of value to share with the world, which can potentially generate income for you for the rest of your life.

Easy Guitar Lessons for Beginners

Relevance Info Services, an international publisher of quality information asked me as a professional musician and guitar player to reveal a number of methods to learn play the guitar. There are a lot of methods today but also a lot of difference between those methods. I try to guide you to take the right decision based upon your personal goals

This article is about “Easy Guitar Lessons for Beginners”. More subject related articles will follow later on.

Yes! It’s possible. You can take easy guitar lessons without ever spending a dime. Following you will find four easy lessons to aid you in learning how to play the guitar.

Easy Guitar Lessons Number 1: How to hold a guitar.

Normally, you play the guitar on the leg. You’ll be strumming using your dominant hand so the guitar goes to the side of your dominant hand as well. Keep the guitar nice and straight, nice and close. Sometimes the guitar slides off your leg while playing because you bend your back to look at the placement of your fingers on the frets. This is quite normal for guitar players. But, it is important to stay away from bad habits while you’re just starting. So again, keep the guitar nice and straight, nice and close.

Easy Guitar Lessons Number 2: Getting to know the chord chart.

For the six chords you will be learning today, you will be focusing on the four first frets of the guitar. Frets, by the way, are the spaces between the metal vertical lines on the guitar. As there are six strings on the guitar, there will be 6 horizontal lines as well on the diagram representing the strings. Your fingers will be numbered 1-3 starting from the index finger.

Easy Guitar Lesson Number 3: The three basic chords.

The first chord you will need to study is the D chord. Finger #1 and #2 will be positioned on the second fret. Finger #1 will be on the third string while finger #2 will be on the first string. Finger #3 will be positioned on the third fret on the second string.

The second chord to study is the E chord which is one of the ideal chords for beginners to learn. Finger #1 is positioned on the first fret on the third string. Finger #2 and #3 will be on the second fret. Finger #2 will be positioned on the fifth string while finger#3 will be on the fourth string. Follow the diagram below.

The A chord is also one of the easiest chords to master. This chord can be played in more than one way but this is the basic method. All Fingers #1, #2, #3 are all positioned on the second fret. Finger #1 goes to the fourth string, finger #2 goes to the third string and Finger #3 is positioned on the second string. Refer below.

Easy Guitar Lesson Number 4: Strumming and changing chords.

The first three chords will now enable you to play some tunes with one additional step which is the strumming. Strumming your guitar is a fundamental skill to be learned. It is done by moving your dominant hand up and down on the strings. Always keep your hands moving. Don’t rush. Start slowly till you have strumming perfected. Start off slow then build up your speed gradually. The chords should ring out with no buzzing and only play the strings of that chord shown on the chord chart. On changing chords, master the basic cords. Set the beat. Change to the different chord before starting the next beat. To learn how to change chords and strum more effectively, practice on your favorite song with a slow beat.

These easy guitar lessons were designed to be a self-help tool for you. Enjoy playing guitar!

Speaker Cables: Ensuring Outstanding Bass Output Everytime! Guaranteed!

Speaker cables have long been established in the market as well as in the hearts of customers as a desired upgrade. But despite being so much in demand, a gap or a lacunae relating to tailor-made cables can always be observed in this area. Yes, there is a significant dearth of manufacturers who are actually rolling out custom-made speaker cables of any length. Interestingly, smart manufacturers have identified it and are now busy making and supplying the same to customers, especially in any combination of spades and banana plugs as per requirement.

Speaking of versions, speaker cables are now available in various categories. But whatever be the version, the end result in the terms of excellent bass of speaker cables should always be there for customers. One of the popular versions, is the siren multi core speaker cables that are individually insulated with a PVC jacket. In addition, there is a further coating (also known as secondary jacket) for both left and right channels. There is another additional insulation inside the teflon seal. Lastly, all channels are wrapped to their precise windings including the teflon spiral fillers.

Such speaker cables can cater to single and bi wiring demands easily. Again, the output in this case is something that can be easily rated as excellent since it delivers outstanding response across all frequencies.

Other than multi core speaker cables, there are ultra flat speaker cables. As the name suggests, these speaker cables are extremely flat. In fact, the most accurate term to describe them is 'paper-flat'. But despite being so thin, these speaker cables are extremely easy to install. Interestingly, owing to their paper-thin size, these cables can be easily cut to the required length with scissors or blade. Additionally, they also give the impression of invisible installation, and can even be plastered onto and inside walls. Moreover, these ultra flat speaker cables come with a transparent PVC outer. Another feature of these cables is their low capacitance and high conductivity due to large surface area.

To sum up the whole discussion, both siren multi core and ultra flat speaker cables belong to high-quality category and are extremely cheap from pricing point of view. This makes them all the more desirable among all customer-group. Clearly, speaker cables is the choice of every customer today.

Streaming Radio – It Offers Music Online and a Whole Lot More

But if you're looking for a way to listen to all of your favorites and save some money, check out streaming radio!

Streaming radio is just that – radio stations that stream their signals over the internet. With internet radio, you don't need to be in a particular area or region to hear stations you like. Instead, you can listen to any station, anywhere, just with the click of a mouse.

Since these are all real radio stations, they all offer real DJ's, real playlists, real programs, real commercials, and real news updates. It's no different than what you would hear riding around in your car, or at home on your stereo.

But, with internet radio, the signal comes through your internet connection – instead of over the air – so that you get crystal clear reception. That way, you can listen to virtually any talk radio show in the world, without battling static and interference.

And, if your favorite talk radio show happens to come on right in the middle of your mid-morning conference with the boss, that's OK, too. Chances are there's another internet radio station streaming the show, so you can catch it later, when it's more convenient.

With streaming radio, you get a whole lot more than you get with music downloads... and, it's a whole lot cheaper!

Suckers For Gadgets?

On Thursday 6th Jan the Consumer Electronics Show sprang into life in Vegas, and you won't be surprised to learn that it was packed with Apple accessories. A custom built room titled the iLounge was heaving with manufacturers of gadgets for the iPad, iPhone and iPod and a strange phenomenon is taking place. The iLounge is brimming with accessories that fasten to Apple products with suction cups. With the trend towards high gloss gadget design and nice shiny smooth surfaces becoming increasingly desirable it makes sense really, the convenience of being able to simply stick accessories to your device and pop them off when you no longer need them is a perfect fit with the move towards modular technology. Now gadgets can be included or removed just as simply as apps can be installed or removed.

Potentially the shows most basic product, the iTatch is a strap with a suction cup on the end allowing an iPhone or iPad to be worn around the neck. The designer of the iTatch created the original version approximately this time last year and would distribute them in his bar for free. The response from people was overwhelming so he increased the volume of his orders for suction cups and lanyards and started to produce them in bulk. The Consumer Electronics Show was an ideal way to show these items to the world. The 4 day show which ended on 9th January attracted over 140,000 visitors globally and nearly 3,000 exhibitors.

For the gamers out there there was another great accessory. The suction cup steering wheel allows you to relive your boyhood dreams of competing with Michael Schumacher and satisfy your need for speed with the ease of a portable accessory that attaches to your Apple device. Whether your passion is for riding motorbikes, racing cars or flying spaceships this high precision device allows you to expertly navigate your way between obstacles and adds that extra touch of reality to the gaming experience. The design of the device is based on a racing car steering wheel to recreate the feel of driving a real vehicle. The integral steering column stand adds stability and balance, reducing any unnecessary movement. The stands base fastens to any clean smooth surface via a suction cup and can also be adjusted based on height and angle. The Apple device, when connected to the right adapter simply fixes into the centre of the wheel, making this literally plug and play.

January 6th 2011 was also the launch date for the (not too dissimilar) iPad Fling, this clever little miniature joystick attaches to the screen of the iPad with a suction cup. Fitting directly over the on screen controls it acts as an interface between the user and the device. Critics have questioned whether this defeats the object of having touch screen which arguably is a better interface as it is more direct, however, personally being a bit of a fan of nostalgia and remembering how much fun I've had over the years playing games with joysticks I think it’s a great addition to an excellent device.

Perhaps the most beneficial of the suction cup based accessories that I have discussed are a great little product called Cool Feet which fill a unique niche in the iPad accessory market. If you’ve ever tried to prop up your iPad on a couple of books and a drinks coaster, or wedged it between a stapler and a plant pot in an attempt to get it into a position that allows you to actually use the device then you may have realised that it would be a lot easier if the device had pop out feet. This is the niche that Cool Feet fill. They are effectively 2 short legs for the front of your device and 2 slightly longer ones for the rear which attach to the bottom of your iPad and keep it propped up nicely. The added benefit is that they prevent your iPad from sliding around on a smooth desk. Originally designed to allow air to circulate around laptops to prevent overheating they are possibly even better suited to tablets such as the iPad where the screen is integral to the flat panel of the device. As with all the other accessories listed they can simply be removed when not in use and reattached in seconds when needed.

So there’s something of a revolution taking place, the good old suction cup neglected from the cutting edge world of innovation is making a comeback. It’s a great example of reinventing an old product for the modern day, suction cups were patented in 1882 but now in the 21st century they are as useful as ever and are possible just finding their niche. They have been used for years for a variety of different jobs but never really found their true calling, now it seems the humble suction cups meandering existence has finally turned a corner and found their market.

3D Plasma Television Or 3D LCD HDTV. Which Is Better?

To understand how 3D TVs works. We might figure out how 3D works, we need to find out how it is when people look at three dimensions. We have 2 eyes a left and a right eye. If you took a finger and put it close to your face and you look through your left eye and through your right eye. You may see a vastly different object. If you move the object farther away and repeat the exercise. You can still see the difference between the two, but not as much as it was. This practice explains why you see 3D objects when its close to you and how the effect slowly goes away as the objects move further away.

Their our two different light sources inside the movie-theater, 2 different polarize on 2 different projectors. one for the right eye and 1 for the left eye. So as long as you have a pair of eye-wear which have the same polarity as the left and the right, then were ensured that the left image goes to the left eye and the right image goes to the right eye.

When you buy TV, it only has a simply single light source. So you'll have to create a right picture and a left picture in 2 various ways. We do this in a frame sequence kind of way. The projection image produces. What we have to do though for it to synchronize with our eyes is we have to use a pair of glasses that is synchronize to the television. So the television will tell the eye-wear... I'm showing you the right image. So therefore the lens of the left side of the eye-wear will become transparent, the right lens will be going dark. So therefore the left image is being seen by the left eye. The reason why you may not notice the flashing is because its done really fast (usually over 100 times a second).

When it comes to LCD HDTV or plasma television there is bad wrong with neither of them in respects to 3D TVS. The difference between plasma and LCD HD TV and that difference is basically how they produce light.

For LCD HDTV they have to refresh their picture very quickly. LCD TVs light source works in a way like little gates that open and close to let the light source in it. It takes sometime for those tiny LCD molecules to change their state, This may cause a problem when the right eye sees part of the left image and the left eye sees part of the right image.

When it comes to plasma television. Your producing frame sequential images. A right then a left. A plasma television starts with a pixel that makes its image, then erases it and then produces the next one. So when these TVs create a right, left, right, left picture, There’s a small chance of getting distortion between the left and right image.

Mobile throwing contest.


There is no denying that all of us at some point wish we could throw our mobile phones out the window, down the stairs, under a car etc. Well now you can! At the UK Mobile Phone Throwing Championships! All in the aid of charity, this contest is held at the Battersea Park Athletics Track and has already been happening since the turn of the millennium in Finland.

Competitors are encouraged to bring any old mobiles they may have to be recycled. The phones that competitors actually throw are provided on the night.

With an estimated 75 million mobile phones gathering dust in drawers and cupboards across the UK, they would stretch the entire length of the Great Wall of China, nearly 5 times over! These phones will either be recycled for their materials or made as donations to poorer countries.

Officially there are two categories in the Mobile Phone Throwing. Traditional style of over the shoulder throwing, where the length of the throw is crucial, or Freestyle where points from 4 to 10 are given for aesthetics and creative choreographics.

The contestant with the highest points in both categories wins.

Mobile Phone Throwing is a light and modern Finnish sport that suits people of all ages.

Combining the recycling philosophy and fun spirit in active sport. A part of the philosophy is also a spiritual feel and the rare freedom from being available all the time in this modern world.

Mobile Phone Throwing became a hit when first arranged in year 2000 in Savonlinna.

The original organizer was a translation and interpretation company Fennolingua. Its multinational personnel had many carnival spirited athletes who threw away their frustrations along with their mobile phones.

The local recycling centre was a partner and they collected all the toxic waste after the contest. People could also buy a new mobile phone at the Championships. Ironically, the first prize was of course a new mobile phone! International media and wannabe throwers were immediately very interested and every year the Championships gather a wide range of nationalities to Savonlinna to throw the mobile phones or to watch the fun of the championships.

The next Mobile Phone throwing championship held in the UK is in August at Battersea Park, costing just £5 to enter, from 1 to 5pm.

Few Hints to Help While You Buy a Digital Camera

Buying a digital camera is a breeze but buying a 'good' digital camera could be tricky, especially when there are thousands of models from different manufacturers around. Here are a few tips that might come handy while searching for a digital camera online.

Photography is an art that anybody, even people who lack the natural gift of clicking pictures, can learn. Who doesn't love looking at a great picture? Be it at home doing daily chores, walking down the neighborhood street, an outdoor sports event, a trip to an exotic location etc., a well captured image redefines that moment to its viewers who behold it later. Apart from being a hobby for many across the globe – young and old, male and female, photography is a major profession chosen by a lot of people almost everywhere.

The output or result of a snapshot surely depends a lot on the skill of the one behind the camera. However, modern technology has come up with ways to enable anybody regardless of their lack of photography skills to take good pictures. The coming of digital cameras has by far simplified photography. It would not be far-fetched to say that with one of the excellent digital cameras in hand, even kids in the kindergarten can grab great pictures.

Having said that, here is an interesting point. With the wide availability of digital cameras, taking shots has become very easy, but finding a genuinely good digital camera with value for every penny is surprisingly hard today. One reason for this is the fact that there are too many choices available. It becomes hard to narrow down to just one camera when there are hundreds of them with something unique in each. While it is good to get one at discounted price allowing you to save, it is also crucial that you take a look under the hood, which goes without saying, before you pay for it.

While looking at the features and functions of a camera, it is important that you have a clear knowledge of the way you intend to use the camera. In other words, you need to be sure where and how you will be using the camera. This should narrow down the eligible models considerably. For example if you are a frequent traveler, an AA battery operated one is handier than the lithium-ion battery operated ones.

Resolution of the camera is the basic and naturally first feature people look into while buying a camera. No doubt a higher megapixels camera always has more chance of capturing better pictures, but that should not be the only factor that determines the camera. It is a good way to to start looking at it first but along with that a good camera needs to incorporate other features too.

An equally important feature is the zoom function. It can make a lot of difference while taking shots as the object of your target doesn't always pose for the shutter at the same distance. If the object or person is too far away you will have to get closer physically to get a clearer shot. While doing so the target would have been already moved or the moment is already gone, but with more zooming ability, you can do away with the distance in seconds. Therefore, more the zooming ability, better the camera.

In addition, other automatic features like face & smile detection, image sensors, color modes, scene modes and many more that make grabbing images easy and and quick, delivering good outputs should be taken in to consideration. So, while you look for the cheapest digital camera that also grabs great images, know what you want and go to review sites and compare a lot.

As of this writing, the following GPS technology is available only in the U.S., but no doubt its popularity will be spreading quickly. At any rate, new on the scene is the Garmin GTU 10 which is a GPS locator that combines a web-based tracking service with GPS technology. The unit is a small, lightweight and waterproof device which can effortlessly be attached to a backpack, pet collar, property or whatever it is that you feel is valuable.

This device is attractive on a number of levels. The first, is that once you have purchased it, you also receive a full year of standard tracking coverage service within the U.S. All that Garmin requires is that you register and activate the unit, which can easily be done online. After you have completed this minor requirement, you will be able to view the location of your loved one, pet or property from the comfort and convenience of your computer or smart phone.

Additionally, an added bonus for iPhone users, is that an app is available for your mobile devices. This tracker app will allow you to locate the GTU 10 unit and compare your location to the location and direction of the unit. Combined with this is also the ability to automatically route you directly to the unit. It doesn't get much easier than that, does it? No more flyers attached to telephone poles and street lights advertising your telephone number all over the area.

One of my favorite features is that this technology gives you the capability to create as many as ten geo-fences for your device. According to Wikipedia, "A geo-fence is a virtual perimeter on a geographic area using a location-based service, so that when the geo-fencing device enters or exits the area a notification is generated. The notification can contain information about the location of the device and might be sent to a mobile telephone or an email account". In other words, if and when your loved one, pet or property crosses one of your geo-fences, a text or email message is sent to you within approximately 30 seconds. This allows you to locate and retrieve your loved one, pet or property fairly quickly while also putting your mind at rest.



Garmin GTU 10 is priced at just under $200.00 (two hundred dollars), and comes with accessories to make it easy to attach the device, as well as a USB cable, a case and of course, a manual. As technology advances, our lives are not just being made easier, but we are also enjoying a safer and more trouble free way of living.

Text-to-Speech Versus Human Voice-Over


Text-to-speech (TTS) and human voice-over are integral to many educational institutions and all interactive voice response (IVR) (http://www.plumvoice.com/products/ivr-systems) systems.

TTS and voice-over enable educational institutions to design courses and disseminate them on a large scale. They enable organizations to design call flows for IVR systems and deliver messages to a virtually unlimited number of callers 24 hours a day, every day.

But which is better? It depends on the situation and your needs.

TTS:

TTS is faster…It enables script designers to write and edit their course lessons or call flows and have them up and running almost immediately. Voice-over usually requires more time to hire a voice-over expert and record all the necessary script.

TTS is more adaptable…Because script designers can create and edit scripts at a faster pace, they can keep up with the changes that inevitably occur.

A company may want to change its product offerings or services to react to market demands and immediately incorporate those changes into their IVR script. An educator may need to change a course in light of a new study or technology change (think groundbreaking study that changes the way educators think about a subject or a software update that requires new scripts for a training class).

No need for voice-over talent...Not everyone can do voice-over because it requires a good voice with an easy-to-understand accent (the least amount of accent possible).

Because of that, most organizations need to hire a professional, which takes time and money, especially factoring in changes (you have to track down the original voice talent to keep the voice in a script uniform, and you have to re-record whole sections even if you’re only changing a few words).

Voice-over:

Voice quality…Years ago, TTS messages were very robotic and monotone, and although the technology has improved dramatically in the last few years to become more natural (and will continue to do so), it still at this point has a less human feel to it.

For messaging that requires high inflection and emotions like excitement or empathy (think an educational program for small children who might become bored with a monotone voice or an IVR (http://www.plumvoice.com/) for a mental health facility), human voice is more natural.

All about Apps

A portable app is a computer program that you can take everywhere with you on a portable device and use on any Windows computer.

When your USB flash drive, portable hard drive, iPod or other portable device is plugged in a computer, you can access your software and personal data just as you would on your own PC.

It’s very safe because when you unplug the device, none of your personal data is left behind.

How to install portable apps?

Step 1: Make sure to get the "portable" or "standalone" version at every download site. Most sites clearly label it like that. Usually it's a normal file name ending with EXE, ZIP, or PAF.EXE

* EXE files run "as is", or they self-extract after you double-click them.

* ZIP files must be extracted first. Right-click the ZIP folder > "Extract All...", or double click on it if you associate archive files with something like 7-Zip.

* If the downloaded file ends with PAF.EXE, just double-click it and install it to a folder of your choice (and if you copy over the previous version of a program it even deletes the older version first).

* Other download formats usually have a special launcher (such as the downloads for LiberKey). But sometimes you choose portable as an option during installation (Foobar music player comes to mind).

Step 2: It's a good idea to create a folder for your portable apps, if you haven't already. I suggest creating a sub folder for each program within your portable folder or moving its existing folder to your portable folder (as long as they allow for relative paths; a few don't and would quit working if you move them around freely). In any case, after you get the portable app functional, you must make a shortcut to it:

* The easiest way is to create a shortcut in a portable launcher (or the portable launcher that comes with a suite of portable programs). PStart, for example, allows you to drag and drop EXE files and automatically create a shortcut in its launcher. Whereas, PortableApps Suite type launchers automatically search its PortableApps folder and add shortcuts for you after you refresh or restart the launcher (just as long as you create individual folders for all your portable apps).

* Or go to your portable apps folder, right-click on the main application for the portable app (usually it's the one with a recognizable icon and a large file size), and select "Create Shortcut" or "Send to > Desktop". Then simply right-click the shortcut and select "pin to start menu" (Vista), or drag the shortcut to the start menu.

Or upload your portable apps to an online backup site, such as Windows Live Skydrive, if you intend on using them on various computers.

WordPress – A Wizard in the world of Blogging and Website designing!

WordPress is a very popular blogging and content management system (CMS) tool. It is possibly one of the most well known and respected tools with over 4 million* websites using WordPress!

WordPress is an open source project which started in the year 2003, as a blogging tool.

Users are given an intuitive online interface to type, tag with keywords and upload their blogs or articles. The core idea is to help the user by taking over all the effort needed to present the information online, allowing him/her to concentrate on the content of his blog. Users can customize the theme or in other words, the web layout, background colors, font etc to better suit his content or give a more classy and unique look for his blog.

Once the blog is published on a website, there are other features provided by wordpress developer: Typically, when people read articles or blogs, they like to leave their comments. The interface to leave comments also allows authors to manage the comments posted.

Sometimes, authors would like to link to or comment on other blogs that are related to the same topic; these are done by what are called pingbacks and trackbacks. This way, the readers are made aware of the author’s comments on other blogs in one single page. The other feature that is very useful is Permalink or Pretty url, where users can specify a human readable and intuitive weblink name instead of machine generated links with numbers and special characters.

As WordPress became one of the default choices for blogging globally, subsequent version releases also came to be used as a CMS tool. The administrative panel provided could be used to customize the web layout around the content. The most important feature being a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor giving the user an idea of how the webpage would actually look in browser window.

The user can select if the home page will be static or a live one , for eg. with posts or testimonials updated as they are uploaded to a particular section of the website.

Individual customized Page Templates can also be applied to different pages of the website. Thus, user could choose some pages to not have the same header and footer as the rest. The user also has options to include widgets as sidebars that are dynamic and change as the page changes. By turning off some features that are blog specific, and customizing other features, users can easily build a truly dynamic website with WordPress!
