Pros of Surround sound System
By Benji Logan
People around the world are used to listen to 2 speaker stereo music or 2 channel music for the last decade or so. Though the music is good, these music systems produces room ambiance as the surrounding walls reflect the sound back. Therefore, most people are willing to install Surround Sound for their room and the discussion on Advantages of Surround Sound System has gained lot of popularity among the modern crowd.
Comparison of Surround Sound System and Stereo System
When compared to Stereo system, this system has many advantages over it. Since, the evolution of music is directly from the front speakers, disturbance is caused in the output music. Therefore, if you go with Surround System, the output of the music is equally divided among the speakers with the latest technology in place.
Due to arrangement of more than 2 speakers at the rear end of the listener, the music is recreated from the originally recorded sound.The music is reproduced from the original music at the rear end due to many speakers arranged. With this, the quality improves drastically as the music is unmasked and it becomes free from any distortion. Thus, the quality varies from one type of recording to the other and is always on 3-dimensional quality. This makes the listener involve deeper into the music and gives a lively feeling to the listener. Hence, real depth in the music can be felt if you change from a 2 speaker stereo to high quality music producing set up like this.
Pros
One more huge advantage of this type of set up is that it works for all types of music. Moreover, any live recording would result in a high quality output that you had heard ever before. It is also of high quality for recordings in the concert hall as well. This is no way less to produce high quality classical music either.This is at its peak during the production of classical music. You can even try Pop music with this and can feel the difference between this high quality set up and other ordinary setups. You can clearly feel the special effects in the music by famous artists with this high quality set up type.
In addition it also provides many improvements to the music quality. The use of surround Speakers ensure that the dynamic range of the whole music system is increased. This special effect can be understood while the music is increased from low volume to moderate volume. Whereas in case of stereo speakers, if the background music is set to low level then the music is almost null but if you are using surround speakers then you can enjoy some live music.
One of the biggest advantage of this is it produces matrix surround sound. Therefore, the music becomes more lively and realistic than any ordinary stereo system. The ambiance is natural and nothing artificial is mixed with the music. The speaker volume adjustment is flexible to select any amount of reflex music for your desired music.
Implementation
These high quality set ups does not require any extra material for its programming. You can prepare the matrix music system yourself from the existing setup and can still get the efficiency of a costly surround setup. This makes the arrangement at low price with easy construction. Any extra materials like new amplifiers or new receivers are not required for its implementation.
Hence, by installing matrix music from existing music system you can feel the experience of high quality surround music at very low price. Hence, implementation of this set up from an existing setup is very easy and has many advantages over an ordinary 2 speaker stereo set.

A priceless horse fossil discovered in Wyoming
By Joe Wilhelm
The oldest most complete horse fossil in existence discovered in Wyoming
Lately, a highly rare horse fossil was found in the Green River Formation of Wyoming while fossil pros were looking for fish fossils. This Protorohippus venticolum is considered by experts in the field to be the earliest species of horse, at the base of the evolutionary tree for this group of animals. This rare horse fossil is at present for sale for $2.25 million.
Protorohippus venticolum is thought to be the earliest species of horse that lived in the wooded areas of the Northerly Hemisphere in areas including North America, Europe, and Far East. Scientists have managed to decide that the little horse stood 12" at the shoulder and had four hooved toes on its front feet and 3 hooved toes on its hind feet. The fossil has earned the nick name "Dawn" and was determined to be 52 million years of age from the Eocene period.
What makes this fossil so striking, and worth so much money, is the undeniable fact that it's the most complete fossil of Protorohippus venticolum ever found. Not only is "Dawn" the most complete Protorhippus ever found, estimated by its finder to be 95 to 97 p.c complete. Particularly, there is a missing piece of its tail that would doubtless be hidden under the limestone fossil. This fossil includes a certificate of validity, and is confirmed by the pros. Lance Grande, Senior VP, Field Museum of Chicago expert vertebrate archaeologist, personally verified this fossil, which was expertly prepared by one of the premier preparatory in the United States.
This proto-horse fossil was discovered by a 3rd generation fossil quarry master. It was found in the Green Stream Formation (which is opposite to Fossil Butte National Monument), and is therefore a rare nationwide treasure from this area of Wyoming. The fossil was found in 2008, and uncovered from the 4 inch Snail Layer, embedded in a 400 foot bluff. The fossil plate measures 30 inches by 28 inches and is 4 inches in thickness.
Thanks to fossils like this, paleontologists have managed to piece together the evolutionary history of the horse more closely than any other animal group. While modern horses did not arrive in North America till their introduction by Spaniards in the late 1400's, traditional horse ancestors were present on the continent for millions of years before. Protorohippus venticolum is believed to be the first animal that may really be considered a horse, and while now extinct, prospered in North America (as well as Pacific Rim and Europe) about 50 million years back, in the Eocene age of our planet's history. Protorohippus venticolum is more colloquially known as Eohippus, or the Dawn Horse, in acknowledgment of its ancient beginnings.
This little pony 'Dawn ' has been widely studied, and the discovery of such a total fossil adds a big amount of information to the history of the horse, and to the fossil record generally. As we continue to learn more about the ancient times of our planet, more clarification will be reached about the evolutionary lineage of not just the horse, but all animal life on our world.

Tips to Keep in mind for Buying A Home Theater System
By Benji Logan
2.1, 5.1 and 7.1 are the different type of Home Theater Systems. Usually, the main digit for these systems stands for the number of speakers whereas .1 stands for one subwoofer. Most of you might think while having so many speakers, subwoofer is of no importance. But you must be aware that many speakers cannot deliver the level of bass that is required while listening to melodious music and hence, sub-woofer is of great importance.
Therefore, you must be aware of all the components of a home theater before you buy a home theater system for your house.
Sound Quality
Normally, if you are looking to install your home theater in a large room then you must pick at least 10-inch woofer cone. Instead, if it is a small room than a 5.1 home theater system will do for it which has 5 main speakers and one subwoofer. This includes 2 Surround Speakers, 2 front speakers and one centre-channel speaker where as in case of a 7.1 speaker system there are 2 more rear speakers in addition to the above. Hence, you can choose any of the above home theater systems according to your desire.
Listening to the sound quality practically is a must after selecting the suitable sound system for your home theater. A best sound system would produce the output sound from different speakers for movie dialogue and background music. This change can be experienced by the minute delay that occurs in the output. However, this is difficult to detect but a clear understanding of this will give you an idea about the difference in sound from different speakers. Although, it is not easy to find the delay but still the knowledge of all this would help you to feel the difference in output from different speakers.
Picture Quality
If you are satisfied with the sound quality of the home theater then the most important thing is its video quality. The picture and video quality of a theater is the one which pays off your money for a brand new home theater. The picture display must be of high quality 3D in HD. The connection to the DVD player must be component connection. A component connection has lot of advantages over S-video and composite video. The advantage with this is that it can transmit up to 480p video along with HD video signals using three separate jacks.
In this case, you can consider HDMI connection as the best option. As it uses single cable for audio and video and therefore the frequency ot these signals increases considerably. Therefore having HDMI signal would ensure that the frequency signals are not reduced due to different cables for audio and video and hence, the system less input power and gives maximum output.
Finally, you must select the best players according to your desire. Most of the DVD players gives an output of 480i or 480p (scan lines of progressive scan). This is good for a normal TV but nowadays most users have high definition TV like LCD or Plasma. Hence, in that case it is good to adapt HD quality player of 1080p One of the best players oh such high quality is Blu-ray disc Player.
Therefore, before you buy a home theater system, ensure that the system comprises all the above components and make sure that it has the capacity to withstand and deliver the goods. Along with these small other like USB must also be remembered. The usage becomes lot easy if the player has ports for USB and memory so that you can play your files directly from your desktop or iPod. At last you must ask the vendor to five you one month exchange warranty in case you want to exchange the Home Theater System.

Learn The Guitar With Ease With Guitar Tab Books
By Russell Strider
The learning curve for just about any endeavor is impacted by the resources available to the student and also the instructor. The amount of ease that an individual is able to understand a process directly correlates to the success of the process. Tabs are one particular resource which can greatly help in the learning of any string instrument.
The guitar is really an iconic instrument. It's recognized in almost every part of the world. It's played by countless millions of individuals, if not even more. It has unquestionably been tried by just as many people, if not more, people. There have been even more who have thought of playing the guitar, but gave up before even making the effort. The causes for these failures are two fold: intimidation and frustration.
The actual study of music, like anything brand new, is often very daunting. The technical terminology, musical notation and skills needed are not just intimidating, but may prove quite frustrating. The guitar in the beginning looks to be a fairly simple musical instrument. Approaching this instrument from a mathematical viewpoint a guitar will become quite complicated. Having more than 168 places to select a single whole note, and many basic triad formations, the guitar is often overwhelming. These combinations allow the most basic of melodies to be played in many positions, styles, and techniques on the guitar. That is the source of a great deal of intimidation and frustration. Guitar tab books have taken a bit of those stumbling blocks out of the learning curve for guitar students, teachers and players.
The guitar uses the treble clef for musical notation. The notes over the top lines of the clef tend to be reserved for the high E, B, and G strings of the guitar. These strings are the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd strings of the guitar. The notes below are reserved for the lower strings. This notation is fairly easy to grasp when you are playing in the main position. They tend to get ambiguous as you progress beyond the 3rd fret. A lot of guitar students and teachers breeze through this point. Tabs definitely will bring an additional light to the picture beyond the primary position.
Tabs work off of a modified clef. The lines that resemble the clef are six in number rather than five. The six lines of the guitar tab clef represent the six strings of the guitar. The lower lines represent the lower three strings. The G, B, and high E are shown with the top three lines. There are no formal note symbols. The tab system eliminates any ambiguity by employing numbers. These particular numbers depict the fret to be fretted. The numbers are arranged on the line or string being played. Guitar tab books typically place the tab clef beneath the treble clef. This is a wonderful learning aid.
The saying "a picture speaks louder than words" may prove to be true for students, teachers, and performers. Guitar tab books offer a little bit of clarity to an at times ambiguous problem to students and teachers. They offer an effective insight to the performing guitarists, accelerating the learning curve. These types of guides will help make guitar playing a much less cumbersome undertaking.

Funny T-Shirts That Dip Into The Absurd
By Tim Thatcher
There are many ways to tell a joke and just as many ways to interpret that joke. You can say, "Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side." or you can say, "Why did the chicken cross the road? Because he loved mangos." Both of these jokes are structured the same, have the same premise, but are completely different. The appeal of the first lies in the chuckle the listener gets when he realizes that the punch line is extremely obvious. The second joke gets its laugh from sheer absurdity. This second type of joke is the kind I've always loved and admired, and I enjoy it just as much when read on funny t-shirts.
Funny t-shirts are, if you'll excuse the pun, a funny thing. When you usually want to share a joke, you know your audience and you know what joke may work on some friends and not on others. When you wear a funny t-shirt, you let that joke hang in the air indefinitely. You wait until someone snatches it from the air, examines it, and then you wait to see if they laugh. It is a system based on pure faith that your funny t-shirt is hilarious enough to make anyone laugh, regardless of their comedy preference.
Delivering the untruth of absurdity is complicated and much more difficult than just telling a joke outright. You will undoubtedly run across many people who just smile wanly and stare stupidly at the funny t-shirts you wear, if you decide to delve into the absurd. This is a bit gratifying in its own right, because the people who don't get the humor are people you know the funny t-shirt is ridiculing. Making people think outside of their normal train of thought is the whole goal of absurdity.
Someone whom I think would have loved the funny t-shirts I wear is Eugene Ionesco. He was the author of several plays that were so bizarre, that he invented a whole new form of theater. Ionesco was dubbed the king of the Theater of the Absurd, and his plays forced people to think about how insane the conversations we have every day really are. His whole point was to use the absurd to mock conformity and useless conversation.
Absurdity is an art form. It is a mystery because of its irregularity to normal comedy. People have to actually work to understand the joke, and many people are simply too lazy to appreciate it these days. Can you imagine a world where anything could happen? Pioneers like Ionesco and the guys from Monty Python could, and they invited you to come and join them. Funny t-shirts are something simple that anyone can wear, but when you mix the truly absurd into the fray...well, then the hippos really will have won.
Funny t-shirts are, if you'll excuse the pun, a funny thing. When you usually want to share a joke, you know your audience and you know what joke may work on some friends and not on others. When you wear a funny t-shirt, you let that joke hang in the air indefinitely. You wait until someone snatches it from the air, examines it, and then you wait to see if they laugh. It is a system based on pure faith that your funny t-shirt is hilarious enough to make anyone laugh, regardless of their comedy preference.
Delivering the untruth of absurdity is complicated and much more difficult than just telling a joke outright. You will undoubtedly run across many people who just smile wanly and stare stupidly at the funny t-shirts you wear, if you decide to delve into the absurd. This is a bit gratifying in its own right, because the people who don't get the humor are people you know the funny t-shirt is ridiculing. Making people think outside of their normal train of thought is the whole goal of absurdity.
Someone whom I think would have loved the funny t-shirts I wear is Eugene Ionesco. He was the author of several plays that were so bizarre, that he invented a whole new form of theater. Ionesco was dubbed the king of the Theater of the Absurd, and his plays forced people to think about how insane the conversations we have every day really are. His whole point was to use the absurd to mock conformity and useless conversation.
Absurdity is an art form. It is a mystery because of its irregularity to normal comedy. People have to actually work to understand the joke, and many people are simply too lazy to appreciate it these days. Can you imagine a world where anything could happen? Pioneers like Ionesco and the guys from Monty Python could, and they invited you to come and join them. Funny t-shirts are something simple that anyone can wear, but when you mix the truly absurd into the fray...well, then the hippos really will have won.
