Downloading Movies Online Made Easy! Here's a Simple Way

I gotta admit - I'm a massive movie buff.  For me there's nothing better than sitting down with some snacks and watching a flick.  Lately I've gotten a number of questions from readers wondering where they can go to download movies online, so I decided to put together a quick article answering this question.

There's a lot of people who now download all the movies they watch.  The web has made it easy to download movies so you don't need to go out to the store to pick up the newest movie.

The selection of movies online is incredible.  You can pick from far more movies on the net than you ever could in a video store.  Whether it's a golden oldie or a new release, most likely you can grab it online.

How is it possible find movie downloads?

Dance, Monkey, Dance! Tips For Overcoming Stage Fright.

Last night at Banjo Jim's I had the fight or flight response when I got on stage to sing. My heart started throbbing in my chest, my throat got tight, and I felt like I had to pee, even though I had just peed several times. I was looking forward to being back home in NYC, playing and singing in front of people I know and love. 

I was bummed that the next fifty minutes might turn out poorly due to unexpected stage fright. Performing is my favorite thing to do when I'm doing it well, and the opposite when I'm dying a slow death out there. If you have ever had a fear of public speaking, any kind of performance anxiety or stage fear, you have felt what I was feeling last night.

In the front of three rows were Abeline and Lucas who had both taken my "Sing Better in A Day" singing class earlier in the day. We had just talked about stage fright. I discussed a number of tools for overcoming stage fright, and there I was with a loud hum going off in my brain and shaky hands.  I have been a vocal coach and singing teacher for almost twenty years.

I have given thousands of singing lessons, and worked on performance with hundreds of voice students, I have spent hours and hours helping students with a fear of public speaking, but there I was, sweaty and tongue-tied. All I could do was say what I remembered Joie Blaney telling me - you're not nervous, you're excited to play - and say, "Apparently, I'm very excited to see you guys. I'm really glad you're here."

A singing teacher can get stage fright, too.

Essential Accessories For Your Electric Guitar

The first thing to get is an electric tuner. You might have the skill to tune by ear which is great. No one should just rely on using a tuner and never learn how to tune without one. The problem is that if you are playing at places there are times where it is so loud that you can't tune by ear because you can't hear the guitar. You have to have an electric tuner.

Get strap locks for your guitar. Strap locks are a way of attaching the strap to the guitar through a system that ensures that it will not fall. It will bolt onto the guitar through ball bearings holding it no matter how much it moves or how much weight is hanging from the guitar. This is a great way to protect your guitar from being damaged.

Get a practice amp with a headphone jack. Not all times you can play with your large amplifier. Having a headphone jack is even better because you can plug in headphones and practice while not disturbing others.

A mutli effects peddle is something you might consider buying. This will let you play many different effects at the same time. The advantage of this is that you will sound nicer when you play and it can make playing your guitar more fun.

Music Education for Parents: Teaching Kids Music and Keeping Them Motivated

It is very important to try to avoid instilling this attitude on your children, "I don't want to go to work but I do".  On the surface it may sound like a simple high quality work ethic, and you probably heard it from your parents, but it really does not work on children.

If you are teaching kids music this is certainly not the way to keep them motivated.  As adults we must work to earn money to live.  When teaching kids music you must remember your child does not need to practice music to live.

There is a very limited time and place to focus on teaching kids music by force and by all means, do it when needed, but that should be the exception and not the norm.  If your child is happy they will stay motivated and study their lessons with interest.

The motivation element of teaching kids music rests almost 100% on the parents and teacher.  When teaching kids music, especially when they are young (age 5 or 6) they have a very high level of respect for their parents and teachers.  Many times they may even have more respect for the teacher than the parents.

Should You Buy a Nikon Camera, or Go With a Canon USA Camera?

Pepsi or Coke? Harry Potter or Twilight? Apple or Windows? Nikon or Canon? For me, it's Pepsi, Harry Potter and Apple hands down, but the last one is a stumper. Is one really better than the other? Is Apple really better than Windows? Well... technically not. 

It's a matter of taste and opinion. The same goes for the other two. There's no conclusive evidence to prove that one brand is superior to the other; on the contrary, everything to be said about their cameras suggests the opposite.

Each is a multi-billion dollar company, so obviously neither make or sell bad products. They use the same materials -- one does not impregnate its cameras with fairy dust, thereby creating a magical photography tool to rule all others. Some people prefer Nikon DSLRs and Canon compact digital cameras, while others like Canon DSLRs and Nikon point-and-shoots. And yes, some people are brand-snobs; some would never deign to touch a Canon, while others spit on Nikons.

The truth is you'll probably be able to find exactly what you need with either a Nikon or a Canon. They have a habit of releasing new cameras months within each other, always trying to top one another, but typically ending up with pretty similar products. They all have different specs, and that's what you should really be focusing on. What kind of lens do you want? What's the minimum resolution you're willing to work with? What sort of ISO range are you looking for? Do you want to be able to shoot movies with this camera?
