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 viewe

Self Storage For Musical Instrument

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.

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.

Easy Guitar Lessons for Beginners

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!

Guitar Finger Picking

Finger picking is a technique of playing the classical guitar where you use your thumb plus at least one added finger to pick or pluck notes, using your fingernails, fingerpicks or else fingertips. Various really gifted players be capable of use all 5 fingers on top of their picking hand, but most guitar players only use 4 fingers with use their pinky finger as being a support in the acoustic guitar.

Finger picking is most excellent acoustic guitar playing method that you will need to be trained if he's up for mellow songs, or something that originated from piano playing. As for me, it is a well known even the most effective guitar performance that I'd really love to determine myself. Not just that it exhibits a fantastic talent, it's also much more pleasing in your ears to listen to because of its soft, by-the-note, playing. Nearly everyone classical guitarists alter the shape of their picking hand fingernails for the purpose of manufacturing a preferred sound. Though, this isn't important in non-classical music; one should buy fingerpicks to suit on the hand.

Commonly finger picking calls for picking through chords well thought-out in the melody. Finger picking is needed comprehensively in folk guitar and classical guitar , other than it is usually frequent in other genres.

Finger picking is surprisingly trouble-free on an electric guitar, which can be odd for the reason that finger picking is frequently considered an acoustic technique. The player can grasp their picking hand's fourth finger against the right edge (left edge on a left-handed guitar), and whether it is held straight and steady, this technique is probably accustomed to brace the hand. This method known as anchoring, and is frowned upon by some players. It is usually possible on acoustic guitars by employing the bridge similarly, but this isn't as successful as it would soften the sound. Classical guitarists never anchor while playing.

When strumming with individual fingers, the broad-spectrum rule is move the wrist on condition that the thumb is needed, while if any other finger is used, only said finger will be used.

When you begin trying to study, your finger coordination are going to be bad and it is easy to get downcast. Requires quite a few days to let your muscle tissue build up, but if you practice with all your fingers without delay your on the whole dexterity will boost much faster.

Things to Know:

· Keeping your picking hand fingers curled is extremely important. If your fingers are even somewhat straight when finger picking, you need to adjust your technique. Your palm should move very little in the finger picking process. All movement should be done with fingers.

· If you are serious about wanting to fingerpick well, you might want to consider growing the nails on your picking hand slightly. This will give you a "brighter" sound

How Cheap Dedicated Server Hosting is Meeting the Budget of the Smallest Businesses

Article Summary: Server hosting services do not need to be particularly expensive. In fact, there is a range of services to match any budget, even those who may only require the simplest server hosting solutions. This article looks at how cheap dedicated server hosting is meeting the restricted IT budgets of even the smallest businesses.

The significance of the internet and having full access to it in the modern world cannot be underestimated. It is especially true for business, where ecommerce has developed into a major market in its own right, and company websites are amongst the most effective forms of marketing and promotion. Unfortunately, not every business has a large enough IT budget to purchase all of the hardware required, but the availability of cheap dedicated server hosting is a solution to that problem. There is no doubt that, in turning to service providers expert in server colocation or dedicated server hosting, UK businesses of all sizes have benefited greatly. IT costs have been slashed while access to the experience and knowledge of skilled technicians has ensured a higher level of technical reliability. Advice from professional technicians is obviously important to those not well versed in IT, who may not know how much rack space they require for their needs. They may need colocation services for just 1 rack unit, which is commonly abbreviated to the phrase 1u colo, or whether they need more. For those of us who are not particularly technologically minded, rack units are a measurement of the physical space that one server takes up. Each server is stacked on a rack vertically, and each one occupies a mere 1.75 inches in height, with a total of 42 fitting on a typical rack. A rack unit is generally represented simply by the letter u, with one rack unit written as 1u. This information is important, as colocation facilities have been made so affordable chiefly because of the per rack unit pricing system. What this means is that instead of selling services just by the range of entitlements, such as monitoring services, recovery services, or maintenance services, each individual server can be rented per month. So, if a small company only needs one server for its purposes, the cost of the colocation service is proportionate to the hardware being used. Perhaps a small art supply store or a curiosity shop simply wants their website to be hosted. In that case, one server should be enough and that is all that that business pays for. Competition in the market place means that every small business needs a website at the very least. For many, the amount of traffic into the site by online customers dictates the amount of rack space that is required. The hope is, of course, that in time the amount of business done over the internet will increase, ensuring more sales and leading to greater revenue and profits. Success should then breed more business, and if this proves to be the case then extra server space will be necessary. The scalability of the rack unit system means that the space rented can easily be expanded, without any dramatic increase in expenditure. The typical charges are also linked to the amount of bandwidth and power used by the server. For example, a colocation package using a processor of 1.8GHz, with a maximum monthly data transfer restriction of 3,000 gigabytes, is available at a lower price than a package using a processor of 3.0GHz and a maximum monthly data transfer of 4,000 gigabytes. However, it is also possible to avail of greater services than just affordable colocation or cheap dedicated server hosting services. The typical pricing structure reflects the power of the server itself, with economy and enterprise ranges available. The key difference is the effectiveness of each model and brand. But there are services relating to support and management that are also available. Of course, when choosing dedicated server hosting, UK businesses will expect 24 hour support services 7 days a week, with on site and on call staff able to attend to any server problems that occur. This is vital for most business owners because of their own limited knowledge and reliance on experts, regardless of whether 1 rack unit, or 1u colo, or more is being rented. But there is more available too, with disaster recovery services, downtime alerts by text or phone, guarantees of power and network uptime to ensure that their site never goes down. For such expansions of service, more will be charged, but well within the limits of even a modest IT budget.

Play Angry Birds Free

Angry Birds is a very addictive game, so be warned, it is an excellent form of entertainment as you use various skills to defect the evil green pigs which stole the Birds' eggs. Now you know why they are angry. As a gamer, your job is to kill the evil pigs by catapulting the Angry Birds at the structures the green pigs are hiding in. The graphics in this game are superb, as those birds look really fierce and mean hombres. They mean business and are out to get those pilfering piggies.



Angry Birds is a very addictive game, so be warned, it is an excellent form of entertainment as you use various skills to defect the evil green pigs which stole the Birds' eggs. You have to use your skill and basic knowledge of physics to help you defeat the evil ones. The game has 120 levels and to unlock a new level you have to have defeated the pigs before or upon using up your last bird. You get stars and points at the end of each successfully completed level, and when a level has been unlocked, you can go back and play it as many times as you like in order to increase your score.



Personally I love the red angry birds, which are just as far away as you can get from the cute robins so often found on Christmas cards, and I adore the white doves-like birds that can drop explosive eggs. The whole game appeals to my admittedly black sense of humor. If you are feeling particularly evil then play Angry Birds and take out your aggression on the pigs.



As you move up the levels the pigs come in different sizes and the ones wearing the crowns are the most indestructible. Others wear helmets and/or Armour, so they become increasingly difficult to annihilate. To combat them the birds come with different properties of destructiveness, for example the black bird explodes, and the blue ones- far from being joyous little song-birds, split into a lethal force of three. Specific birds are also effective against the different materials of the shelters the pigs choose to shelter in, these are made of wood, stone and ice, so you have to think logically about which bird will be of most destructive use in your battle against the pigs.



The levels have interesting names too, there's "Summer picnic" and "Seasons Greetings" and a host of others similarly cleverly titled. It is hardly surprising that the game has sold millions of copies since it was first launched in the Apple App Store. Now you can play for free wherever you are if you have a smartphone. You can now play online for free and this is good if you haven't bought the app or want to play on a different device. Why not start to play for free now? Make sure that you have got a lot of time to spare, though as it really is a compulsive game.
