Radric Davis<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Jennifer Roylor</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>Most people don't like to think of Gucci Mane as being a top notch artist from the place that they call Sun Valley, GA. His manager has helped him come to terms with releasing as much quality music as possible. It is very disheartening that he has been locked up behind bars for over 3 years. Gucci Mane accidentally forgot to conduct his service to the city (as sentenced by a circuit court) which got him right back in jail.<br /> <br /> He also acted a little bit unfocused on his case because he skipped a probation meeting so that he could do a show. Even though he ended up right back behind bars, he is more focused than ever before with music. One of his close friends and co-workers called him in early January and asked if he was thinking about recording. His co-worker issued a statement saying that he is trying to come up with more music for another hit record.<br /> <br /> It seems as though many decades have passed and he has improved his lyrics each year. A lot of individuals believe that he started out as a terrible musician because he didn't have lyrics that even made sense. At the present moment, most people understand that he has risen to fame because his lyrical talent is outstanding.<br /> <br /> Some would argue that his rhyme skills are even better than Jay-Z. The newest project that he came out with titled "Radric vs. His State" was a success because it went gold. A lot of other individuals think that he would have sold a record amount if he was not in prison. It probably would have had a lot more sales if he would have been able to shoot more promotional music videos for some of his best songs.<br /> <br /> Despite the obvious fact that he tries to create songs for his neighborhood, Gucci always attempts to make classic songs for the radio. He constantly strives to keep it real and create songs that nearly anyone will love. Gucci Mane has been able to come out with awesome CD's and his grind in the street tape game has been great. A specific tape that most people love is called "Trap Tacular" because he did it with the late DJ Scream.<br /> <br /> One great trait that his street tapes carry is that they are able to generate heavy buzz. Are you a Gucci Mane fan? If you are, then you will want to follow the rumors about him getting an early release date from prison. He is set to come out with a brand new CD that will be put out sometime in late 2010. Take the time to get his new album, download the street tapes, and watch him keep improving his skills as a musician. - 30538</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Stay updated with <a target='_blank' href="http://www.guccmane.com/">Gucci Mane news</a> and check out <a target='_blank' href="http://www.guccmane.com/mixtapes/">Gucci Mane mixtapes</a>. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520593773878568757.post-48764772282402339672010-01-28T04:44:00.000-08:002010-01-28T06:21:00.000-08:00CD Troubleshooting Can Be Done By You<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Nell Harrison</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>Everyone enjoys listening to music while on drive. When CD player stops doing its job we take it to a repair shop. But before doing that we can try out few simple ways of car CD troubleshooting which may save us from paying huge amount for repair.<br /> <br /> Troubleshooting involving diagnosis and then fixing it by finding the cause for the problem. First step involves focusing on a specific problematic area . Next step would be to check if the connections are proper and the last step is to troubleshoot. Let us look at each step in detail<br /> <br /> The first step is to determine where the problem is. Check whether it is in the radio or music player and the like. This can be done immediately by playing the radio. If the radio works it shows that there is some technical fault with the player. The speakers must also be checked if both are playing properly or if any one of the speakers is not.<br /> <br /> Another important things is to check proper connection of power cable to the speakers. Security is also a major concern. So always ensure that if power cable is connected only to positive terminal . It is also necessary to check if the CD player does not work properly because the fuse inside the glass is blown out . So always check the fuse box of the power cable. So by checking out these things our problem gets narrowed down.<br /> <br /> Another possibility might be due to the damaged connections. To check this, the wires can be connected to electric meter which is available in shops. This electric meter gives a reading if there is power supply. Therefore if the wires are not connected properly or have disconnected somewhere it will show no reading. The wires can be obtained but removing the player after unscrewing the speakers.<br /> <br /> The next thing one should do for checking for trouble shooting is checking the wiring connected to the backside of the CD player using a flashlight at the back side of the dash board. If all these wiring are safe and secure then disconnect the positive cable from the battery of the car. This will put the CD player back to the factory conditions resetting all its characteristics to the initial stage. This will solve the problem in trouble shooting but you need to tune back all your stations and reset your clock.<br /> <br /> There also appears a problem of disc error. In this case clean the disc drive using a lens cleaning solution. A drop of rubbing alcohol can be used for effecting the cleaning power.<br /> <br /> One need not head to the service as soon as he encounters a problem in car CD troubleshooting, these simple steps would be like a initial check for your car CD player. - 30538</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Looking to find the best deal on <a target='_blank' href='http://www.powernetshop.at/'>Auto Hifi</a>, then visit www.powernetshop.at to find the best advice on <a target='_blank' href='http://www.powernetshop.at/en/'>Car audio</a> for you. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520593773878568757.post-73791459269938495332010-01-25T02:40:00.001-08:002010-01-25T02:40:40.957-08:00Engineering Advancements in Canada<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Adriana Noton</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>Canadian engineers have had a long history of making astounding advancements in the field of engineering. There have been many engineering developments that have improved the quality of life of people around the world and have led to important discoveries. Listed below are just a few of the major engineering advancements in Canada.<br /> <br /> The Electron Microscope: In April of 1938, two graduate students and their supervisor, Department Chairman, Professor E.F. Burton from the Physics Department of the University, built the first transmission magnetic electron microscope. <a target='_blank' href="http://www.innovationcanada.ca/en/topics/mathematics">Researchers</a> were eventually able to see into inner space and learn important and valuable information about the universe. Research in mathematics has assisted in this as well.<br /> <br /> The Pacemaker: At the Banting and Best Institute Laboratory in Toronto, Dr. John Hopps, an electrical engineer and National Research Council researcher, along with two physicians, Dr. William Bigelow and Dr. John Callaghan, developed the ability to cause the heart to beat, which included the ability to decrease the heart rate. They did this by applying an electrical pulse. What emerged from this remarkable development was the creation of the first pacemaker in 1950. In 1957, the first small pacemaker was implanted into a man from Sweden. The origins of this remarkable medical device came from brilliant Canadian engineers and physicians and have saved millions of lives all over the world.<br /> <br /> FP-6000 Computer: One of the first computers that used an operating system and performed a variety of functions was developed in Canada. The FP-6000 computer was developed in 1961. When designers from Toronto's Ferranti-Packard Company assisted with moving computers from university laboratories into office buildings, it was the FP-6000 computer that was used.<br /> <br /> The Ballard Fuel Cell: Another remarkable Canadian engineer development, the Ballard Fuel Cell, can use different types of fuels such as gasoline, hydrogen, natural gas, and methanol. Fuel cells have enough power to run a vehicle. The only by-products from the fuel cell's electrochemical reaction are water vapor and heat. As well, these cells run continuously as long as they have fuel.<br /> <br /> The Canadarm: One of Canada's most renowned engineering accomplishments, the Canadarm, is able to capture a free-flying payload in an environment where there is no gravity. The Canadarm has never failed and has been used to help build the international space station, break ice off the fuselage of the Orbiter, and assist in the repair of the Hubble Space Telescope.<br /> <br /> Compact Discs (CDs): Canadian engineers have made a significant contribution to the music industry. Canada makes the compact discs that are used by about 90% of all recorded North American music, video, and software.<br /> <br /> The Alouette Satellite: In September 1962, the Canadian made Alouette Satellite was the first satellite launched into space making it the first launched satellite to be built by a country other than the USSR and the US.<br /> <br /> Radio Broadcasting: On Christmas Eve, in 1906, Canadian, Reginald Fessenden, made an important historical achievement by making the world's first radio broadcast using his invention called the radio telephony.<br /> <br /> The above engineering advancements are just a few of the many Canadian accomplishments in the field of engineering. For years, engineering developments have impacted the field of science, medicine, technology, and much more. The outlook looks promising for Canadian engineers and their future engineering achievements. - 30538</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>The number of developments in the field of <a target='_blank' href="http://www.innovationcanada.ca/en/topics/engineering">engineering Canada</a> is truly remarkable.

Then I got myself searching on the Internet for online radio stations. There are a lot of options out there, but there is one that my friends and I really get excited about.<br /> <br /> Our favorite IMRadio. We always make sure that it is played in the background whenever we hang out, do our homework, or getting ready to go out. The variety of music and the sheer talent sometimes makes us stop whatever we are doing, forget what we were talking about, and say, "This song is awesome! "<br /> <br /> You can choose from many stations. If I remember it correctly the last time I checked, it was like 450 and I really like it. It is somewhat similar to YouTube for Music where music artists can upload their song files, just like anyone can upload their videos on YouTube.<br /> <br /> Living in a small town used to mean that we were behind the times as far as new music. We can now listen to newest bands, freshest songs from artists all over the United States through IMRadio. The feeling of being bumpkins who never get to hear the hottest music in the country is no longer a problem.<br /> <br /> Since my friends and I are fond of rock music, we are happier about IMRadio since most of the songs there are considered rock. Without IMRadio, we will never have the opportunity to hear this number of cool artists. But come to think of it, when you compare these songs to those songs you that you hear on traditional radio and Top 40 charts, they really sound better. So much better!<br /> <br /> There is a few band that really impressed us and we are definitely positive that they have a long way to go. The web site has an awesome feature on where the fans can communicate with their favorite bands. Although, we do not have any intention of forming long-term friendships or stalk the bands or anything. But it is such a kick to send a message, just to let them know that we are out there and love what they are doing.<br /> <br /> When you go to IMRadio's home page and scroll down a bit, you will see a "Featured Bands" header with images that look like little CD covers. One of my favorite things to do is click on a random image and then start listening to a song by that artist. If I do not like the song, I just move on until I find a song that suits my taste. It's kind of like hitting the "seek" button on your car radio to hear what's playing on another channel before you decide what to listen to, only the music is edgier. - 30538</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>IMRadio or Self-governing Music Radio is an online radio station that features 450 channels of fresh unique music from bands all over the US and the world.

But even if you're a real good and, getting air time can be pretty difficult.<br /> <br /> The band that I formed five years ago has been lucky enough to be played on some local stations. Although luck is not the correct word. We have worked pretty hard to meet the right people who have been able to get us on the air. It was our bravest move.<br /> <br /> New bands face an uphill climb because radio stations often do not put unknowns into their rotation. Usually those bands that you hear on the radio are not essentially the most talented. Often, they are the ones with the most financial backing and marketing efforts.<br /> <br /> One of the most awesome resources I have found online is IMRadio. This web site says that it is by musicians, for musicians, and it really is. Some of our song files are now receiving free radio airplay in more than 100 countries when I registered an account and uploaded them into IMRadio's rotation.<br /> <br /> As a music lover, I like being able to hear other new artists, and appreciate their talent. Aside from that, poets and comedians are heard on IMRadio. Then I recommended IMRadio to some of the acts that I usually see around town, particularly the clubs and it is nice to see a following build up for IMRadio.<br /> <br /> Now that my band is being heard, we are able to begin growing a fan base, which is so exciting. IMRadio has a message forum, giving the bands and their fans a communication venue as well for the bands to communicate with other bands.<br /> <br /> If you see yourself as a budding musician or has a band that has been around for quite a while, IMRadio can boost you up and your band's spirit and talent. You will not feel any bit of difficulty in joining, uploading your song files, have your music into rotation, and be heard.<br /> <br /> And if you are a music lover, be sure to stop by IMRadio and join. The talented groups will really amaze you. - 30538</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Unsigned musicians, comedians and poets are discovering the advantages of free membership at IMRadio.com.

The 1st ones used vacuum pumps but the advancements in the radio is due to the enhancements in the study of electronics. They have changed many things in human life. There are both meritorious and disadvantageous part associated with the radio. It the only source of entertainment to the car drivers. And crucial stories can be spread to them more fast than any other method. Without the radio the driving will be a worry and unimaginable.<br /> <br /> Radio is found to be the one thing that's most needed in the driving automobile. But almost all of the radios form a head ache for the auto owners. The most is faced by the owner of the car. People who own this automobile has the all virtue of an auto except for this one disadvantage. The disadvantage with the car radio are :<br /> <br /> Sound clearness with the built-in radio is not the predicted level. They fail more frequently than the other radios. Replacement of the same brand is more tedious and not available with all. The remedy for this is to go in for after market radios.<br /> <br /> These things have to be done the pro way. The demerits of it when we go in the non pro way are :<br /> <br /> The entire system gets defective and as a consequence we must change the whole set which is too costly. The car internal might get damaged that might result in a note of bad look among the interiors. The most disadvantageous note will be the struck up of unrecoverable state to the car. This is a worst case this happens infrequently.<br /> <br /> The things that needs to be done :<br /> <br /> Go in for adapters that makes the casing proper fit for the scale of the radio. Can also go in for automobile radio blend option which is a most accepted option. Interference system may also be used to carry out the obligatory. The best professional work has to be done so go in for best suppliers.<br /> <br /> Different strategies has different beneficial. When going in for auto radio mix option the ideal fit can be got. This is nothing but blending the wire input that's got from the car and other additional socket should be available with the blender which converts the input signal into necessary output signal so that it can be mixed with the radio that is to be used. The added advantage is interchangeability. This thing is the important obligation that's anticipated by all of the users. This helper will supply the important to make it adaptable with any radio.<br /> <br /> Mounting strategies can be made easy on following the strategies that is said above. Mounting must be perfect and as should keep to the essential accuracy so that it doesn't affect the aesthetics of the auto. The inside of the auto must be taken into consideration before putting the radio. According to the requirement of the user it changes itself to the environment. - 30538</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>View our site <a target='_blank' href="http://www.powernetshop.at/">Auto Hifi</a> for more information about car stereo and products, and find the right <a target='_blank' href="http://www.powernetshop.at/en/">Car audio</a> for your car. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520593773878568757.post-23335662824070093942010-01-05T07:01:00.000-08:002010-01-05T07:27:54.799-08:00Model Radio Controlled Sports Cars<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Owen Jones</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>Do your interests in model remote control cars lie in high speed, rapid acceleration and magnificence of form? If this is exactly what you are looking for in a model vehicle, then a model sports car is almost certainly what you are looking for. Authentic size sports cars are a $4.5 billion industry with about 55,000 units being sold every year.<br /> <br /> Sports cars and their model counterparts are manufactured as high performance machines, which means that they can be driven in ways that normal assembly line cars can not. For example, in the case of a real sports car, it frequently takes no more than five seconds to go from 0 to 100 mph. Likewise in a model high performance gas replica, it often takes no more than two seconds to reach 60 mph from a dead start.<br /> <br /> Because it is more tricky to maneuver a speeding vehicle, sports cars and model sports cars are especially designed to handle best at high speeds. In deed, the word "sporty" was coined to refer to a sleek but robust design that exudes power. It was later personified to refer to the person behind the wheel or in the modelling world, the person at the remote controls.<br /> <br /> The following is a basic glossary of sports car terminology and a basic listing of sports car manufacturers (many of which have their counterpart cars in the world of model gas remote control cars).<br /> <br /> - FF - front engine, front wheel drive. The FF layout has a moderate capability for high speed handling and is seen in some models such as the Fiat Coup?, and the Lotus Elan M100.<br /> <br /> - FR - front engine, rear wheel drive Considered the ?classic? sports car design, the engine drives the rear wheels but keeps the weight off the back. The FR is good at drifting corners while still maintaining control. Mercedes-Benz is recognized for using this layout for its models.<br /> <br /> - RR - rear engine, rear wheel drive With the engine at the back driving the rear wheels, weight placement on a RR layout provides outstanding traction for a car. However, without auxiliary driving aids like stability control, handling becomes difficult. These days, the only manufacturer who keeps the RR layout for its cars is Porche.<br /> <br /> AWD ? all wheel drive An AWD layout offers the easiest handling, making it ideal for those who are just starting to race sports cars. Audi began the extensive use of this technique with the Quattro. Japanese manufacturers like Mitsubishi used this design to increase handling, making it an excellent rally car.<br /> <br /> Because of more stringent regulations in the United States, sports car manufacturers are more widespread in Europe than in America. Nevertheless, American makes are in equal competition with their European and Asian counterparts. Some recognized manufacturers and models are:<br /> <br /> Alfa Romeo; Alpine; Aston Martin; Austin-Healey; BMW; Bugatti; Caterham; Davrian; De Lorean; Ferrari; Fisker; Jaguar; Koenigsegg; Lamborghini; Lotus; McLaren; Maserati; MG; Morgan; Panoz; Porsche; Triumph; TVR; Vector.<br /> <br /> If this article has whetted your desire for a sports car, go out and buy one now, if you are well-off. If not, why not do the next best thing and get yourself a 1:8 or even a 1:5 gas-powered, remote-controlled sports car? - 30538</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Owen Jones, the author of this article, writes on many subjects, but is currently involved with the <a target='_blank' href="http://15scalerccars.com/petrol-remote-control-car.html">petrol remote control car</a>.

Personal use is probably the type most people are familiar with. Children use them as toys to play with in the yard or in the neighborhood. Most of us played with walkie-talkies at one point when we were growing up. Other personal uses include keeping in touch with your family members on a regular basis. Maybe your kids are going to play at the neighbor' house and you want to stay in touch with them.<br /> <br /> Sometimes families will use them on camping trips or vacations to the beach simply as a way to be in easy reach of each other. Sometimes people who live in large houses use them to talk to the kids in the backyard or talk to other family members located at the other end of the house. Many will hooked them on their kids bicycles so that they can stay in touch with them while they are out with their friends. Obviously, these are just a few ways people use two-way radios for personal needs, but they are some of the more common uses.<br /> <br /> Emergency services use two-way radios also. They depend on them for communicating within their specific areas. Police departments, fire departments, emergency weather services and emergency medical services all use two-way radios. Can you imagine a fire fighter stopping to dial his/her cell phone in the middle of a fire to reach a fellow fire fighter? I don't think so.<br /> <br /> Two-way radios are more dependable for use in emergencies anyway. They don't have to pick up a signal from a cell phone tower. They are typically not dropped like so many cell calls are. The voice clarity is usually much better on a two-way than it is on a cell phone. More than one person can get a message with a two-way than with a cell phone also. If the side of a building that is on fire, is about to fall down, you want to be able to relay that message to all the firefighters at once, not one at a time.<br /> <br /> Many construction companies give two-way radios to workers on a specific site so that they can communicate without having to climb up on structures to locate co-workers. It helps make for a safer workplace as well as a more effective worksite. Taxi companies are users of two-way radios. They use them to stay in touch with their drivers. This allows the drivers to respond to riders much quicker and therefore provide a much better service. There are many other business uses for two-way radios. You can use your imagination and come up with all kind of business uses for the radios.<br /> <br /> Many retail stores use two-way radios, so that customer service departments can reach workers in specific departments. Sometimes retail stores have radios available for customer use, so they can get assistance while in the store without having to run around looking for workers. Large restaurants sometimes use the radios to help the wait staff stay in touch with the cooks which helps them provide better service to their customers. Factories use the devices as a way for employees to stay in touch with other workers. Construction companies use them on construction sites so that workers can stay safe and stay in contact with each other.<br /> <br /> There are many other examples of business uses for two-way radios. They are however, a tool that can make any business more efficient and productive.

You do not necessarily require a CPU with the fastest central processor. Such software will run nice on a 1.2 ghz central processor.<br /> <br /> Now you have to determine the size of hard disk you desire. You do need a lot of space to store the several tracks. In most cases, you will be having thousands of them to store. So go for anything more than 120 GB of hard disk space.<br /> <br /> You require great sound. So you should not compromise on the sound card. Install the best quality sound card on your laptop or PC. There are external sound cards available that you can use without any trouble.<br /> <br /> So if you are preparing to make a PCDJ, you should employ a computer or laptop solely for this purpose. Do not utilize the same computer for personal use other than for running the digital DJ software.<br /> <br /> If you do not buy a new PC for this purpose, you should reinstall the operating system and make sure you do not test anything else on it other than the Digital DJ software.<br /> <br /> Tracks on a cdrom need to be ripped so as to convert them to MP3 format to store them in your computer. You should keep the ripping quality to be large so that the sound quality is nice.<br /> <br /> Even if your present computer is slow, there are chances that the PCDJ software will run good on it but you should still find out its minimum requisites. These are generally available on the developer's internet site. You can also sign up for a free trial.<br /> <br /> Your computer's computer memory must be at least 512 MB for the PCDJ to function fine. You should have a storage capacity that is huge enough to store thousands of tracks without any trouble. Also, you have to make sure there are no legal limitations on ripping music. - 30538</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>More on <a target='_blank' href="http://www.pcdj.co.uk/">PCDJ Digital DJ Software</a> and <a target='_blank' href="http://www.pcdj.co.uk/shop.asp">PCDJ Red</a>. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520593773878568757.post-20624112122523867632009-12-30T07:48:00.001-08:002009-12-30T07:48:12.334-08:00Helpful Tips For Choosing A Handheld Radio Scanner<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Andy Zain</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>An individual searching for the handheld radio scanner that is perfect for the area that they live will find unlimited choices available. Scanners are available in an assortment of styles and contain features that can be specific for the needs of the person that will be using them.<br /> <br /> The price of scanners can vary depending on the features that the scanners have. A person can get a scanner with anywhere from six hundred to two thousand channels. The receiving range on the scanners can differ as well. So, a person will want to take some simple steps to determine what kind of handheld radio scanner they want before shopping for one.<br /> <br /> The number of channels that are needed for the scanner will be dependent on the intended use of the scanner. If a person will be using the scanner to listen to one type of frequency, such as the fire department, and they live in a small town, they will not need a massive number of channels. However, in larger cities, most departments have a minimum of five channels that are used on a regular basis. So, an individual living in a large town or city will need more channels for listening to the police department transmissions.<br /> <br /> Manufacturer of handheld scanners normally pre-program channels and frequencies for fire, police, aircraft, and marine departments. These channels are contained within one of the banks that are in the handheld radio scanner. In some cases an individual will need to create a separate bank to contain these channels and frequencies if they differ from the programmed ones from the manufacturer.<br /> <br /> All scanners contain banks. The number of banks on a handheld radio scanner may differ. The bank is a way to categorize and store channels that are listened to frequently. This makes it much easier to scan frequencies that are related to a specific topic, such as the fire department or police channels. A person can turn a bank on or off manually so that the channels are used only when desired.<br /> <br /> In large cities most fire and police departments use a trunk system for their radios. Some scanners contain a trunk tracking mode that allows one to pick up transmissions from the trunk independently. If a person is going to be using their handheld radio scanner primarily for listening to transmission from police and fire departments, they will want to make sure that trunk tracking is included in the scanner options.<br /> <br /> Talking to a professional who has expertise in the different types of scanners available will be very helpful. This individual will be able to explain in detail the different options and features of any handheld radio scanner that is being considered. - 30538</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>To get free tips on <a target='_blank' href="http://www.radioscannerreviews.com/mobile-radio-scanner/">mobile radio scanners</a> and <a target='_blank' href="http://www.radioscannerreviews.com/uniden-radio-scanner/">Uniden bearcat radio scanner</a> , visit <a target='_blank' href="http://www.radioscannerreviews.com/">RadioScanner</a> Reviews Site. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520593773878568757.post-88430086743582409282009-12-27T12:25:00.001-08:002009-12-27T12:25:12.385-08:00How to Use Voiceover Demos to Find the Right Talent<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Roy Applewhite</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>You must go through the process of interviewing candidates to select a voiceover artist that would fit your project. Demo tapes can greatly help you and the whole panel in judging each candidate and selecting the one who will get the role.<br /> <br /> Judging candidates through voice over demo tapes is a more efficient method than asking each candidate to audition and perform a voice over test in your office. A talent will be able to give his or her best performance in a demo tape as a job interview can put undue pressure on anyone, even on seasoned professionals. You just need to set a standard consisting of essential voiceover qualities when judging demo tapes. Here are the qualities you should listen for:<br /> <br /> 1. Pace of delivery. Be aware of the talent's pace throughout the piece. You will surely need a voiceover artist who can shift from speaking slowly to rapidly comfortably. Pacing is crucial in any voiceover script as stated in the book "You Can Bank On Your Voice" written by Rodney Saulsberry. An improperly paced delivery is painful to the ears and confusing to the mind. Look for talents who demonstrate good pacing.<br /> <br /> 2. Attention Grabber. A good voiceover artist can easily arouse your interest at the start of a piece. Experienced artists will put the right stress on particular words and phrases to match their tone and personality. Look for tapes that grab your attention in the first few lines.<br /> <br /> 3. Accents and Dialects. A good voiceover artist will have a certain style but a talented artist can easily adapt his or her style to imitate different accents and dialects. Artists who can speak in different accents and dialects are usually able to play different characters.<br /> <br /> 4. Rhythm. The rhythm of a monologue or conversation is a critical element of the professional and successful voiceover. If the candidate is able to capture the right rhythm, the audience will be able to remember the script more easily and even resonate with the brand or product you will be promoting. Listen for a steady 'beat' as the artist says each sentence to determine if they have the mastered the skill of rhythm.<br /> <br /> 5. Humor. Having or portraying a sense of humor is often an important element of voiceover scripts, especially those that are more commercial in nature and involve a conversation. Look for examples of lighthearted tones, jokes and humor on the demo tape; can the talent easily share a joke and make you smile? Or is the delivery strained and difficult to understand?<br /> <br /> Use voice over demo tapes to help you judge every candidate to pick out the best talent that would fit your voice over project. Listen to each demo tape with the above qualities in mind so that you will have an objective standard to base your decision on. Good voiceover artists possess these qualities and are able to easily exhibit them in a demo tape. - 30538</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>About the Author: Terry Daniel is a Professional <a target='_blank' href="http://amazingvoicetalent.com"> Voice Over</a> Actor from Minneapolis, MN and Has Been Providing the <a target='_blank' href="http://amazingvoicetalent.com">Voice Talent</a> for Dozens of Projects and Advertisements Since 1991. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520593773878568757.post-8994484632776696452009-12-26T06:09:00.001-08:002009-12-26T06:09:14.669-08:00Acoustic Research Wireless Speakers<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Christopher Eyres</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>Wireless home speakers will give you a theater experience and you can experience even the faintest sound on your screen.

You should also be aware of the reasons to use such a device.

Such an opportunity would be useful for keeping your family safe. Similarly, you might also want to know details of an emergency situation involving firefighters. Basically, anything that happens in your community with the use of radios would be available to you with a scanner.<br /> <br /> In a general sense everything listed above is legal to listen to, when using to a radio scanner. Of course, it is not legal to use police information to commit a crime. Nor is it legal to listen to private cellular phone conversations.<br /> <br /> Depending on the type of radio scanner you buy, the expense will vary. For example, you might want a mobile model. Additionally, you might prefer a new model to a used scanner. Taking these varying options into account, a radio scanner can cost as much as two hundred dollars and as little as twenty.<br /> <br /> As you can see, there is plenty to consider in the purchase of a radio scanner.

James</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'> When I received the Novel "Iron Horse Rider" from the Author Adelle "Legs" Laudan I have to admit I was expecting a book about a Biker fighting and causing trouble. You know your Typical Biker Bad Boy Story. What I received was something I was not expecting at all.<br /> <br /> The Novel Tells the story of a hardcore biker named Shane, Shane had always kept women at arms length and showed them no emotion, That was until he met Kelly. Try as he might this biker who had always kept to himself could not fight off his feelings for her and soon found himself Married to the Women of his dreams.<br /> <br /> After 10 years of Marriage Kelly is taken from Shane in a Tragic accident while they are Ridding. Shane finds everything around him reminds him of Kelly, His home, his shop, even his Clubhouse. His Brother's try to Support and comfort him, but the looks of sorrow in their eyes for him is more then Shane can bare. He soon realizes staying in the world He has Known and loved is not an option. Soon Shane is on his Iron Horse with the wind in his face and no destination! As Shane rides He finds the pain he feels for his loss begin to lessen!<br /> <br /> With advice from a Mysterious Biker he keeps running into, Shane finds himself at a Micmac Indian Camp. Shane is welcomed into the Camp by the Tribes Chief and soon finds himself becoming Friends with the Chief's Daughter Tia who has recently lost her Husband!

A member of Tia's Tribe is taking no chances and tells Shane to stay away from Tia. He soon finds out you never tell a Biker like Shane what to do!<br /> <br /> I found the writing in this novel while in no way simplistic was easy to read. I also found the story easy to follow ! Adelle "Legs" Laudan describes and expresses the feelings of Biker Brotherhood perfectly. When She explains Shane's feelings while Riding you can see in your mind where he is and you can almost feel the wind in your Face! <br /> <br /> In life we all have our worlds we live in, When something Terrible happens sometimes We cling to what We know. Shane does what He as a true Biker must after such a terrible loss, He goes out and finds not only a new life but a new World to live in for a while.<br /> <br /> I have to say I enjoyed the story. It was not what I was expecting or would usually read but I found I could not put the book down. I think some Men who Ride will enjoy this book, While many I feel will find it a little too much of a Romance novel! I do believe almost all Women who has ever ridden a Motorcycle or dated a Man who rode one will love this Novel.<br /> <br /> As I know now Adelle "Legs" Laudan is a writer of Motorcycle Romance Novels, She works to promote the image of Motorcycling one book at a time!

They are famous today for introducing the world to the sport of mini 4WD racing. However, what many people do not know, is that Tamiya also introduced the world to RC (remote controlled or radio controlled) cars. The Tamiya RC car line-up has a lot of models that show the excellence of the company's ability in model design.<br /> <br /> These are some of the Tamiya RC model cars on the market today:<br /> <br /> <u>Nitro Crusher</u> - This Tamiya RC car has a mighty FS-15S engine that features a large bore slide carburetor to fulfill your need for speed. The engine also has a precise brake system that ensures practical safety. This RC car will also fulfill your need for muscle because it comes in the appearance of a monster truck.<br /> <br /> You can drive through all sorts of territory as effortlessly as if you were driving on the roadway. This RC car has a variety of points that permit it to cruise through special kinds of terrain. It has extra-large tires that are perfect for dealing with mud, sand and rocks. It also features a frontal impact control system that permits you to enjoy steady running no matter what hazards you encounter.<br /> <br /> <u>Mini cooper</u> - If you do not know what a Mini Cooper is, imagine Mr. Bean's beloved car. This remote controlled car is based on that small-but-awesome car of the 1960's. The Mini Cooper is famous for its small size and mighty performance. In point, the Mini Cooper even raced extremely well in events such as the World Rally Championships.<br /> <br /> This Tamiya RC car features an M-03 chassis that is especially intended to be as fast as possible. The double wishbone suspension also ensures the stability and first-rate handling of the vehicle. This model is an electric RC car, which means that the batteries add a lot of weight. However, a hole cut into the chassis guarantees that this RC auto can still run very well regardless of its weight.<br /> <br /> <u>Subaru Impreza WRC Monte Carlo</u> - This RC car is designed for the latest kind of racing. This Tamiya RC car is intended to drift. The chassis of this RC vehicle, the TT-01D, is built from lightweight materials and has been specifically constructed to have a low center of gravity. This means that this Tamiya RC car will not roll over if you attempt to "drift" it.<br /> <br /> What are the advantages of drift racing? Well, in standard bends, there is a tendency for vehicles to lose velocity. By drifting, the vehicle can preserve the highest speed and precision control. However, there is always the opportunity of something going wrong, which is the reason for Tamiya's excellent engineering.<br /> <br /> <u>XBG Nitro Force</u> - Capable of unbelievable top speeds, this RC car is unquestionably a force to be reckoned with. Powered by a precision FR-S glow engine, this RC auto uses a recoil starter for clean starting every time. This Tamiya RC car also features a strengthened resin frame chassis with a low center of gravity, making it extra stable during fast driving.<br /> <br /> This Tamiya RC car also features a very aerodynamic frame, making sure that the airstream will not adversely affect your desire for speed. All in all, if you want a Tamiya RC car that will satisfy your wish for speed and excitement, this is the car that you should be buying. - 30538</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Owen Jones, the author of this article, writes on many subjects, but is currently involved with <a target='_blank' href="http://15scalerccars.com">1:5 scale RC cars</a>.

It is really not a different thing where my friends and I always look forward to new websites that can assist us in obtaining our goal of discovering exceptionally fresh talents, ideas, and concepts in cyberspace. Aside from free video sites, we are also into online radio programs and sites.<br /> <br /> IMRadio or Independent Music Radio is one of my friend Mimi's most recent found. Since this online radio features music from unknown local bands that came from various cities in the US and even other countries, it became our group's instant favorite. Artists who want to share their song could easily upload their original music on the website for the whole world to hear. One good characteristic of this online radio station is that it is free, whether you upload your song or listen to its music.<br /> <br /> You do not need to be an Internet savvy to navigate the website so no need to worry when using the site. Although rock songs are common than others, the playlist is composed of various genres. Surprisingly, the songs have great melodies and are well structured. Even if some songs are not written in English, you will still keep on listening to IMRadio because you will be treated to various sounds, types of music, and fresh songs. If we only knew how to play instruments, maybe my friends and I already have a band and have uploaded our song too.<br /> <br /> IMRadio is our favorite from all online radios because it provides a communication channel where fans can easily chat with the bands. Each singer or band has a short profile and they can chat with their local or foreign fans if they want to. You will encounter both musicians that are not fond of communicating with their fans and those who are easy to get along with.<br /> <br /> When it comes to censorship, IMRadio is not suppressed. This means you will be able to hear the songs raw. If you like metallic rock, you will be able to hear bands scream, curse, and blast their instruments. You can definitely find several songs that you can relate with since the theme or message of the songs in IMRadio are varied. One of the musicians that my friends love is Sakis Gouzonis, who released his New Earth Album which included Elohim, Eternal Peace and From the Sky. - 30538</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Paddy Noonan is a performer and one of the people who revealed IMRadio, an online radio, building bands from all over the world upload their original songs for limitless radio and airplay through the Internet.Collect more information on how you can listen to fresh and raw music from this <a target='_blank' href='http://www.mybloglog.com/buzz/members/InternetRadio/'>limitless online radio</a>. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520593773878568757.post-89086526449084204272009-12-02T11:34:00.000-08:002009-12-02T12:04:15.028-08:00Buying Your First Digital Radio Scanner<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Andy Zain</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>The features and functions available in digital radio scanners can make the selection process seem complicated. Sales people can easily detect an absolute novice in search of high tech devices. Sales commissions can cloud the morals of some sales people and you can leave with some high-priced overly complicated scanner that leaves you feeling lost. Do some research and you will keep the salesperson more honest. If you are purchasing online, research is even more important.<br /> <br /> The first step in researching digital radio scanners is to learn the basics. Digital radio scanners are designed to receive and process digitally encoded signals transmitted between various two-way radio systems in public use. The use of digital signals, unlike the recent mandated changeover of television to digital, is voluntary. Both older analog signals and newer digital transmissions are in use. All currently available scanners still receive the analog signals.<br /> <br /> Non-encrypted digital signals meeting the APCO P-25 standard can be processed by digital radio scanners. Encrypted signals, cell-phone messages and portable radio digital signals are not processed by digital scanners. Digital radio scanners cannot be modified to process cell-phone messages. Prior to'94 it was possible to buy scanners that could receive cell phone and cordless phone signals. Since that date an FCC rule has required ALL Scanners Sold in the USA to be Cellular frequency Deleted (Blocked).<br /> <br /> FCC regulations do not prohibit the sale, ownership or use of digital radio scanners. Scanners must be FCC approved, of course. Some state and local governments have laws in effect limiting scanner use in vehicles or while committing a crime. Scanner regulations include a clause against scanned use to "break existing laws." Checking local rules is advised and the information presented is not legal advice.<br /> <br /> The basic functions of digital radio scanners are quite uniform over the many brands and models available. Buying a high-priced scanner will not mean better reception and a low-priced scanner will have as good (possibly better) reception. Price differences are often based on special features or additional band coverage.<br /> <br /> One common complicated-sounding technical term is trunked signals. A trunk is a pool of frequencies (channels) shared by multiple users and departments. The advantage is that all frequencies share the load. No one frequency carries almost all the transmissions while others remain unused. Communication can be over any of the trunked frequencies at any time - making following the communication with a scanner almost impossible. Digital radio scanners with trunk support have built-in technology to make use of some of the many versions of trunk lines.<br /> <br /> Shopping for digital radio scanners should start with some research. The internet is the best public source of information about any subject - digital radio scanners are no exception. If you take some time to understand the many features available before shelling out your money your experience will be much better. Your do no want a tech-heavy unit that leaves you feeling lost. You certainly do not want to pay for features you will never use.<br /> <br /> Digital radio scanners can be an enjoyable pastime. Do your homework and your experience will be better. - 30538</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>To get free tips and reviews on <a target='_blank' href="http://www.radioscannerreviews.com/uniden-radio-scanner/">Uniden 100 channel clock radio scanner</a> , visit <a target='_blank' href="http://www.radioscannerreviews.com/">RadioScanners</a>. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520593773878568757.post-68806370124641455192009-11-29T00:19:00.000-08:002009-11-29T01:37:03.527-08:00An Internet Radio Station For True Music Fans<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Julio Haselton</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>I have a problem listening to the radio. Stations would play the same radio rotation over and over, and they just didn't change. I get really tired of listening to the same songs by the same artists over and over. I was starting to get so fed up with it all that I would begin listening to talk radio instead. Unfortunately, talk radio becomes so boring that I just end up turning the radio off.<br /> <br /> I always crave to hear new music by new musicians. It's important that I hear creativity and talent when I'm listening. I feel like the music industry ignores a lot of truly passionate, independent musicians. Every single time, artistic management agencies just go and pick more of the same to represent. Even music videos on TV just offer the same.<br /> <br /> Overall, I was becoming really cynical about music and the industry. In fact, I realized that for quite some time, I hadn't been listening to any music. I just didn't want to hear anything on the radio that reminded me of how bitter I'd become towards the music industry.<br /> <br /> My girlfriend finally got tired of me whining about my lack of good music. She went online and searched internet radio stations, and found one website she thought was really great. One night we sat down at the computer together, and she showed me the IM Radio site.<br /> <br /> I found internet radio at its finest on IM Radio. A home has been found there for independent musician, poets, and comedians. You see, they play something completely different from the typical air play. Up and coming, talented artists are all part of their playlist. None of the comedians, poets, artists, or musicians on the site have sold out. This material is just fresh, exciting, and new. As a true independent internet radio station, IM Radio features offerings that are completely away from the norm. The website will never run out of new, talented creatives for you to follow.<br /> <br /> My girlfriend and I finally turned the computer off after several hours of listening. However, since then, we leave the computer on at the IM Radio site all the time. We are listening to it while we read, watch TV, or clean house. It's become really easy to just kick back on the couch and let our minds wander, especially when we've become really entranced by the latest thing playing on that internet radio station. We've discovered that we are really inspired by some of the stuff they play, too. A lot of times I'll be listening to the IM Radio airplay, and I'll come up with a lot of amazing ideas.<br /> <br /> If you've also become like I was, and are really cynical about radio, you have to go check out IM Radio. There you'll find a whole new internet radio station that offers music, comedy, and poetry from artists that are still incredibly creative and full of talent. Their playlist changes constantly, and never feels stale. - 30538</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Listen now and visit the IM Radio page.After you've heard this great <a target='_blank' href='http://www.myspace.com/brandawareness'>indie radio</a> station, I promise you'll become excited about music again. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520593773878568757.post-44976200757879897812009-11-27T16:33:00.000-08:002009-11-27T18:41:28.522-08:00Top Tips On Improving Your Voiceover Talent<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Lauren Hulbert</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>In the current climate, every extra penny that you can bring into your household budget counts. Well, an obvious way of achieving this is to harness a new career. One such career, often overlooked - but surprisingly lucrative is radio voiceover work. In this article, I want to give you a simple, step-by-step plan to ensure that you have plenty of voiceover work coming your way.<br /> <br /> The only way to improve a skill is to practice it. However, the way you practice will make a difference to the speed at which you improve. You don't have to spend a lot of money to start. Just talk to yourself in the mirror and get used to hearing your voice being made out loud. Talk into your voicemail system or use your office dictation machine to listen to yourself on playback. You can make great improvements in your voice-over skills using these very cheap techniques. Then consider investing in some better recording equipment. You could buy a computer microphone and use your computer's processors to help you improve your voice over talent. Another great way is to get into public speaking - as daunting as it might seem.<br /> <br /> Survey after survey reveals that public speaking is one of the most stressful activities that can occur in your life. But often if you deliberately seek appropriate opportunities and embark on these chances to speak out loud with a sense of humbleness, you will find yourself warmly received. Join the local toastmaster's club, where you will be asked to speak on a weekly basis and during which your friends will analyse and comment on your performance. Then you could try speaking out at work or social functions and notice how you are received and how you felt.<br /> <br /> You need to take the first step - as that really is the hardest. Once you generate momentum, you will notice that maintaining momentum is much easier (not easy - just easier). You need to ensure that you notice how well you control your sound, your diction and your breadth of voiceover options. This step will be the one that allows you to apply for a greater range of voiceover jobs.<br /> <br /> Begin by simply talking normally. Don't try to do anything too fancy at the start, just start working. Then begin to notice how your voiceovers sound on the recordings that you generate. Try to vary how clear you are, the speed of your voice-over work and the tone of your voice. Keep controlling your breathing whilst you do this.<br /> <br /> You should also then try to vary your pace, but keep your diction good. Also change your tonality. Try to sound more gruff or smoother. Try to sound as if you come from a different part of the country. Mess around with intonations. Just try to vary your range of voiceover work and still maintain control. <br /> <br /> Remember to judge your recordings on the basis of believablity and comprehensibility. Keep a diary or some ability to record your findings and experiments so that you learn and improve your voiceover talent more rapidly. Remember to practice consistently is the key to enhancing your voice-over talent. Try to set aside 30 minutes a day for 3 months, note your findings and strive to improve. You will be one of the top 1% of voice over providers by the end of the next season if you do this. - 30538</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Getting better at <a target='_blank' href="http://www.bigfishmedia.co.uk">voiceovers</a> is simply a matter of working hard on your voice and noticing what you need to do to make your voice-over talent better </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520593773878568757.post-48441082369366285362009-11-26T20:41:00.000-08:002009-11-27T02:31:05.101-08:00Online Motorcycle Talk Show<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By L.J. James</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'> I have been active in the Motorcycle Community for many years. I've stood up for Biker's Rights. As a freelance writer, I've written about Clubs, the Community, and the Brotherhood of the Biker World. I've also been involved in many Biker related events either as a DJ or MC.<br /> <br /> For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to combine all of this into a Biker Style Radio Show. A show where I could present and discuss topics that are important to Bikers as well as educate the outside world about the Biker Lifestyle and what it means to be a part of the Biker Community.<br /> <br /> I knew it was going to be tough. I spoke with some local radio stations about my idea but, they either wanted a lot of money or they weren't interested. They claim that the "Biker Market" is a niche market and Radio Stations want shows that appeal to everyone.<br /> <br /> In the summer of 2008, a guy from Florida called the Paisan, sent me an email stating he had read some of my articles and would like to interview me on his internet radio show, Sunday's Sauce Pot. I gave him a call and after speaking to him, I agreed to be on the show.<br /> <br /> I did the show with Paisan and his partner Danny Dawg. It was an unforgettable show and I had a great time. I kept in touch with them and we soon became friends. I told them how I had been thinking about doing my own show. They were only too happy to explain to me how I could have my own internet radio show.<br /> <br /> Since the show would be broadcast over the internet, I was a little skeptical. After doing some research, I realized that Internet Radio is an up and coming medium. Even now, some radio manufactures are making radios devoted to broadcasting Internet Radio.<br /> <br /> I quickly realized that Internet Radio is more suited to what I wanted to present than traditional Radio due to the fact that I could broadcast my show to all over the world instead of being limited like I would be if I broadcast out of a local station.<br /> <br /> The other thing that appealed to me was the fact that people could listen to my show any time they wanted to. Bikers like to travel. With Internet Radio, it doesn't matter where you are as long as you have access to an Internet Radio or Computer and WI-FI or broadband, you can catch the show. The fact that you didn't need a lot of money to start up was also very appealing. With a little help from my friends, I went to work. Finally, after 10 years of dreaming, I was On the Air. The Biker Lowdown Show was born.<br /> <br /> The road to success was a little bumpy at first. With the addition of Chuck (Alphabiker.com) as my co-host, the road got a little smoother. With both of us researching information, we are able to share much more with our ever increasing audience. The addition of a website to compliment the show adds to the experience. The hard work of my webmaster Bjorn has resulted in a website that offers Articles, Video's, a Motorcycle Forum, and more.<br /> <br /> I am sometimes amazed by the success of the show. Our Audience continues to increase each week. The Biker Lowdown Chat Room gets busier each week, letting listeners know they are really part of the show. Although we've come a long way, we're still working hard at making the show even more entertaining and informative for all those who ride or dream of riding. We plan on hitting the road so that we can meet and talk with people and reward our listeners with T-Shirts, Bumper Stickers, and more.<br /> <br /> Of course we couldn't do it without the support of our listeners and sponsors whose donations make the show possible. To them, THANK YOU!<br /> <br /> I invite everyone to check out the show at www.bikerlowdown.com, and let me know what you think and what topics you'd like to hear discussed.<br /> <br /> I am your Bro, LJ James AmericanBikerx.com - 30538</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>LJ James does a Radio <a target='_blank' href="http://americanbikerx.com">Motorcycle Show</a> each Wednesday LJ James likes to help show the truth about the Biker Brotherhood and programs like <a target='_blank' href="http://mortalskulls.com">Sons of Anarchy</a> </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520593773878568757.post-6328248171591668392009-11-26T20:36:00.000-08:002009-11-27T04:43:25.523-08:00LJ James Host Of The Biker Lowdown Radio Show<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By L.J. James</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'> I have felt and been a part of Biker Brotherhood almost all of my life. Growing up around My Father (Freelance Author on the Biker Lifestyle Pappy) and my Uncle Trey, I was taught what Biker Brotherhood was about from a very young age. As I grew up I heard many stories about the fun had at Parties, Runs and Rallies.<br /> <br /> I also heard about protests (Mostly Helmet) I heard how Bikers were the last of the true Americans. I was taught Bikers believe in Freedom and are willing to fight for it at all costs! As I got older I attended many events and I rode allot.<br /> <br /> I became active in Motorcycle Rights groups (mostly ABATE of NY) and I did my part to protect and promote the Biker Lifestyle, I wrote many articles in Biker Magazines and I DJed and MCed many Bike events helping to spread the word of Biker Rights.<br /> <br /> In March of 2005 I became a Member of the Mortal Skulls MC and not long after I felt what it meant to be a part of a Motorcycle Club Brotherhood. I also got to know and learn from many members of other MC's. The more I learned and the better I got to know these Men (the world referred to as 1%ers and Outlaws) the more I realized most of these people were the best people in the world, These are the Men who made and continue to make America great! I had heard many negative things about Motorcycle Clubs over the years and the more I was grew apart of the MC life the more I realized something needed to be done.<br /> <br /> So my focus shifted from covering parties in Magazines to writing about true Biker Brotherhood. I realized one of the things negatively effecting the Motorcycle World is no one was teaching the younger generation of Motorcycle riders what it really means to be a Biker. The rules and codes of the road where all being lost, TV Show and Docudramas where teaching a Biker History that had no basis in reality. To this day I continue look up and write down as much truth of the history of Motorcycles and the Motorcycle Club world as I can.<br /> <br /> I was getting the word out but I wanted a way to be able to speak to Bikers so they could hear my words and feel them expressed as they came from my heart! I knew I wanted to do some kind of Biker Talk Radio Show to help get the message out there. Every radio station I spoke with was either not interested or wanted some huge amount of money up front .<br /> <br /> One day I learned about internet Radio! I learned I could do a live show that could be heard world wide on every computer and also all the shows would be archived so they could be heard anytime from the beginning just by clicking on them. I soon started a weekly show about a half hour long each Wednesday coming up with the name "The Biker Lowdown" The show started with just me talking to people about different things going on in the Motorcycle World.<br /> <br /> Not long after the show started I was getting weekly calls from this Guy Chuck who called himself the Alpha Biker, Checking his webpage out I quickly learned both me and Chuck were cut from the same cloth and He became the Co-host of the Biker Lowdown.<br /> <br /> Soon after thanks to the on air Chemistry and the great radio banter between me and Chuck the show started taking off. My good friend Bjorn took over as the online webmaster creating a webpage all could be proud of.<br /> <br /> Hammerin Hank soon joined the Biker Lowdown clan as our Research Reporter. Things just kept getting better for the show.We started getting many great guests and even a few really big names of the Motorcycle world.<br /> <br /> When Brenda Fox came on the show one night for an interview to talk about the world of Women's Motorcycling, some where about five Minutes into the interview We all just knew We had a new member of the Biker Lowdown Family! I look forward to seeing what the Future brings for the Biker Lowdown Radio Show,<br /> <br /> But for now I am Your Bro LJ James and I will see you on the Road!!! - 30538</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>LJ hosts a Radio <a target='_blank' href="http://americanbikerx.com">Motorcycle Show</a> each Wednesday LJ likes to help show the facts about the Biker World and programs like <a target='_blank' href="http://mortalskulls.com">Sons of Anarchy</a> </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520593773878568757.post-59858702667446528482009-11-24T15:50:00.000-08:002009-11-24T16:21:25.178-08:00Can American Bikers Unite To Protect Themselves Before It Is Too Late?<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By L.J. James</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'> There is a new law in Virginia that will ban Motorcycle Club Colors in Bars. The law, originally aimed at Street Gangs, is causing quite a stir with Virginia Bikers. The law states that Bar & Restaurant owners will lose their liquor license if they allow patrons who wear "gang" related attire such as Club Logo's or Colored Bandannas.<br /> <br /> These sort of "grey area" laws are extremely dangerous and a threat to everyone's freedom. Who decides what constitutes "Gang Apparel"? I'm wondering if Boy Scouts are going to be able to eat together at Applebees if they are in their uniforms.<br /> <br /> According to news reports, many Bikers and Motorcycle Club Members in Virginia have already begun fighting this law. If a law like this is allowed to stand in Virginia, it won't be long until it is passed in other states across America!<br /> <br /> We as Motorcyclists and Bikers (It does not matter what you call yourself) have to realize fast that we are all connected. It doesn't matter what you ride, what State you live in or who you Support, we're all in this together. What effects Me effects you and it doesn't matter what you happen to think of me.<br /> <br /> When the local Bar you and your Brothers love hanging out at is told that you and all other members of Motorcycle Clubs can no longer go there or they will revoke the Bars liquor license, What then?<br /> <br /> This is no Joke my Biker Brothers, every month there is another new law that is aimed not only Motorcycle Club Members, but all Americans. It seems that every time the Government wants to take away a freedom, they find a way to craft a new law for our "safety". What kind of Country is this turning into when you can't wear what you want and suddenly, your constitutional right to assemble is taken away from you?<br /> <br /> Although there are many ignorant people out there that believe Motorcycle Clubs are Gangs, that's simply not the case. Most Motorcycle Clubs are made up of hard working, honest, law abiding, patriotic, American Citizens who enjoy a common bond, Motorcycles. It's what is in a persons heart that determines who they are, not the clothes they wear.<br /> <br /> In the past year the government has taken away the Colors of one Motorcycle Club. A law enforcement officer can demand anyone sporting the Clubs logo to forfeit it. The theory is that the loss of the logo strips the club of its "gang identity."<br /> <br /> Grant it, it appears that some of the Clubs members may have been involved in illegal activities, but that doesn't mean that everyone who rides a Motorcycle should be punished for it. In fact, less than 10% of this 600 Member Club was even accused of wrong doing.<br /> <br /> In addition, the Government and law enforcement agencies have been spending millions of our dollars to influence friends and ex-members of Motorcycle Clubs in an effort to infiltrate these clubs in hopes of catching members doing something illegal. Often, when they find that the Club they've infiltrated is nothing more than a group of Patriotic, Law Abiding Men & Women, they'll fabric wrong doing so that they can justify the enormous amount of resources spent on these Fishing Expeditions.<br /> <br /> Just imagine how much better off we'd all be if they used those resources to investigate the Corrupt Politicians, the Corporations that control our Country, Wall Street, and the other issues that are quickly sinking this great Nation.<br /> <br /> What I want to know is, what will be the last straw? What's it going to take for us to say enough is enough? We can not fight these Laws and Fight each other at the same time! We need to work together to save what we are, who we are.<br /> <br /> The Government has taken away our rights to ride the Motorcycle we want, to wear what we want and now to go where we want! Why are we still fighting each other? When are we going to wake up??<br /> <br /> For more on this story check out the story on WTVR.com<br /> <br /> I am your Bro, LJ James AmericanBikerX.com Saying Time is Running out!!! - 30538</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>LJ James hosts a <a target='_blank' href="http://americanbikerx.com">Motorcycle Show</a> that atempts to educate people who do fake ride what is true about series like <a target='_blank' href="http://mortalskulls.com">Sons of Anarchy</a> and what is fake </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520593773878568757.post-405336835745609062009-11-24T13:01:00.000-08:002009-11-24T13:41:59.487-08:00Why Do Bikers Like Loud Motorcycle Pipes?<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By L.J. James</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'> I have been reading and hearing allot lately about people who are saying that loud Motorcycle Pipes are a major problem in the world. These groups are trying to get those in Government to pass all sorts of new inspection laws for Motorcycle Pipes.<br /> <br /> Seeing as Motorcycles make up such a small percentage of the Traffic on the road I would say this problem is very minimal at best. ( I wonder how many cars with bad mufflers are heard that many think are Motorcycles)<br /> <br /> These people complain saying Motorcycle Riders like loud pipes because they are juvenile and want to show off and say Hey look at me and draw attention to themselves.<br /> <br /> The reason many Bikers like loud pipes is not to say look at me, its to say look out for Me! Many Car drivers these days are talking on the phone, texting , putting on make up , eating , playing loud music , watching DVDs and just not paying attention to the road in front of them. If your in a car an you get hit ,You may get a dent in your car, We could Die! (Nothing enjoyable in life is completely safe)<br /> <br /> These groups against loud pipes know gathering citizens together to complain is very easy , if they ask people while they are sitting around all summer long bored "Have you ever heard a Loud Motorcycle Go By?" they are going to say yes they Have!" These groups are then going to talk about how annoying these Motorcycles are and convince these bored people how much better their lives would be if these Motorcycles where gone! These bored people are going to jump right on board!<br /> <br /> But now ask these same people when was the last time you heard a loud Motorcycle go by? They will probably hard pressed to find an answer! Was it Weeks ago? Months ago? was it Two years ago?<br /> <br /> There are already laws on the books in every state that say a Motorcycles pipes can only be so loud! We do not need new laws on the books that most officers will do nothing about while others will abuse !<br /> <br /> This Country spends too much time whining about things! Lets stop and think about Motorcycles. Motorcycles prevent traffic, They prevent wear and tear on the roads, They are great for saving Fuel. They are also a great relaxer, Those who Ride Motorcycles are a lot less stressed!<br /> <br /> If people stopped complaining about Motorcycles and went and rode a Motorcycle they might not be so bored with their lives and they would have something better to do with their time!!!<br /> <br /> Those who Ride enjoy Life a lot More, This is like therapy and religion all rolled up into one for us! Please do not bring the stress and problems of your dull boring lives into our world !<br /> <br /> If you are that board and are looking for something to do with your life email me and I will help you find something better to do with your time. Maybe we can find something you can do that could actually help make the world a better place!!!<br /> <br /> I am Your Bro LJ James AmericanBikerX.com - 30538</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>LJ does a <a target='_blank' href="http://americanbikerx.com">Biker Radio </a> Show that helps those who do not know about the real Motorcycle Brotherhood apposed to action drama like <a target='_blank' href="http://mortalskulls.com">Sons of Anarchy</a> </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520593773878568757.post-15188534112952487832009-11-24T08:15:00.000-08:002009-11-24T08:20:49.223-08:00Keeping The Brotherhood In Motorcycle Clubs<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By L.J. James</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'> I wrote an article a while back called "Why speak to the Motorcycle Clubs in your area before starting a new MC?" It was about why those wishing to start new Motorcycle Clubs should go and speak to those who have come before them. If you have not read the article look it up on my March 2009 archive page on NY-Biker.com<br /> <br /> Since then, I've begun seeing and hearing some things that worry me. I have seen many groups popping up. Some of these groups have names like Lone Wolf or Independent Riders. While I suppose the names are meant to distance these groups from real motorcycle clubs, they still resemble legitimate clubs in the way they dress, and to a certain degree, the way they act.<br /> <br /> Now I am sure some of you are saying "hey LJ these guys just want to do their own thing back off a bit, what really is the harm in what these guys are doing?" Well that's the Million dollar Question! Exactly what is the real harm? Let me see if I can explain how I see it.<br /> <br /> If you put on a uniform, pinned on a badge and hung out at Dunkin Donuts you may look like and act like a cop but you would not be a real cop. When a real cop saw you, You would probaly be in a lot of trouble!<br /> <br /> Now due to High Gas Prices, The Economy, and people waking up to the fact that riding a Motorcycle is one of the Greatest things in the world, the ranks of motorcycle riders have exploded. Many of these new riders see shows like Sons Of Anarchy, Gangland or movies like Hell Ride and think, "This is cool, I'm going to start a Club" even though they know nothing about Motorcycle Clubs or the Biker lifestyle.<br /> <br /> Shows like Sons of Anarchy are a fictional dramatization of what a group of television writers think a Motorcycle Club is. Programs like Gangland claim to investigate 1%er Clubs. Their "investigation consists of looking up every little Crime members of a 30 year old Motorcycle Club have ever been accused of and then Squeeze all the Negative info about the MC into about 45 Minutes of air time.<br /> <br /> The concern is that you have new and independent riders forming "Clubs" with no real knowledge of what it means to be a member of a Motorcycle Club. Some of these clubs are forming with only shows like SOA and Gangland as the model for what a Motorcycle Club should be.<br /> <br /> Being a member of a Motorcycle Club is about Brotherhood, Loyalty, Respect, Freedom, and Honor. It's not about Drugs, Guns, and Biker Wars.<br /> <br /> In the Motorcycle Club world you start off as either a prospect for an established Motorcycle Club or your new MC starts off as a Supporter of a established MC and they help to teach you what it truly means to be a Member of a Motorcycle Club.<br /> <br /> It's like an artist taking on an apprentice and passing on what he has learned. The knowledge he passes on has been passed on down to him for Hundreds of Generations.<br /> <br /> Now where the danger lies is the art being taught can be thousands of years old but, It only takes one generation of not passing the right information down and the art is lost forever!<br /> <br /> With the creation of so many pseudo MC's, We risk a danger a lot worse than losing the art of what a Motorcycle Club is all about , We risk watching the Mutation of the World We all Love turned into something as ugly as the negative, hyped up TV Shows and movies we've all seen.<br /> <br /> If your thinking about starting a Motorcycle Club or want to join one, start by talking to local Club members you see at events or contact established Clubs directly. Every MC has its own set of rules, etc, but if you're serious about becoming an MC or MC Member, you'll have no problem finding the situation that is right for you. As I said in the beginning, I have no problem with people starting their own Clubs. It's just that starting a Motorcycle Club is something that should be done the right way and not be taken lightly. Let us work together to Preserve the Heritage of the Motorcycle Club world and make it stronger, not destroy it.<br /> <br /> I am Your Bro LJ James AmericanBikerX.com - 30538</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>LJ James hosts a <a target='_blank' href="http://americanbikerx.com">Motorcycle Show</a> to teach many Bikers the thruth of Brotherhood LJ James lets Bikers know they can only learn so much from TV Series like <a target='_blank' href="http://mortalskulls.com">Sons of Anarchy</a> </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0
