Working Out To Music Keeps You Going

By Gregory Paul

Being consistent in staying healthy has proven to be quite a challenge. It is difficult to keep on when the work is tedious and repetitive. As of late, as wellness has become very important, people have found a way to make working out fun and interesting. Although we know it's hard to be straining your muscles and sweating it out, it is quite an experience if you are grooving to the music while you're at it.

There are ways to enjoy music while working out. Of course you have to match the intensity so you bring out the giant speakers and woofers but that may not work right with your neighbors. Perhaps you'd like to try using head or earpieces. Thanks to technology, we can now privately enjoy rocking tunes without disturbing others.

There are lots of things to consider when choosing a perfect piece for you. I was quite surprised when I realized the intricacies of finding the right headphones for me. There are regular headphones, water resistant, sweat resistant even; I guess that would work very well when youre sweating it out. There are some earpieces that work in different temperatures; it works in temperatures as low as 10 degrees. Apparently they had winter sports athletes when they engineered this device. At the moment, a new feature has been produced. The sport optimized secure fit pieces. Earphones dropping from my ear while Im dancing to the groove have always been a problem.

You might want to consider the weight and color of an earphone. Are they the right one for your lifestyle? are they manly, or feminine? Would they go well with your clothes. Do they make you look good? Personally i wouldn't care much but i know of someone who would.

The cable length is also important. Sometimes it might be too long that it gets caught up with just about anything. At times you get earphones with cables too short that it gets disconnected every time you move.

Audio is quite important to me as I am also a singer. It has to produce the audio quality that i want. I like strong bass tones and i want to hear a clear separation of the high and midtones. If you are like me, you would want the volume to be really up there.

The accessories could make or break the earphones. Rubber casings and magnetic clasps are big winners to some as these may come handy when you wanna get them in a hurry or when you are wearing gloves. I personally like those that come with clips so i can keep the cables away when i need to.

Despite the complexities of finding the right gear for me, they are there to help me in a big way. I need to stay healthy, I need to stay fit consistently. These pieces diminutive as they may be has kept me working, has kept me healthy, and has kept me alive. - 18762

The Colorful History Of The Saxophone

By Jim Samposzi

The saxophone, or sax, is a lively and widely used instrument that is apart of the woodwind family of instruments. The sax is usually built of brass and is typically used in an orchestra, jazz band, or other musical production. The saxophone goes as far back as jazz and big band. Also, this instrument has been an important edition to blues and lately, modern rock. This magnificent instrument has also been popular for use in the military.

The saxophone is a complicated instrument that includes the following components:

Brass stock/horn

Single-reed mouthpiece

Tone holes (20-30)

Speaker holes

Keys (or pad cups)

Spit Valve

The pieces of this instrument have been developed in the past few decades to include richer sounds through engineering and trial. The mouthpiece, as an example, has been produced by different materials like: gold, silver, rubber, glass, wood, porcelain, crystal, or bone. Instrument makers throughout the years have tried all types of things to better the sound of saxophones.

Saxophones have made a lasting impression since their first model made by Adolphe Sax in 1841. Sax was bent on making an instrument that would bridge the gap between all other woodwinds and instruments. Mr. Sax did what he wished and the saxophone was common in orchestras of the late 19th century. For military, the sax sounded perfect when set in a E and B pitch. Also, the saxophone was the perfect instrument to get a C and F tone. Later on, the sax was key in jazz music and was improved upon to produce pitches of all levels (A, B, C, G, F, and E).

Eventually, Adolphe Sax's invention reached a patent expiration in 1866 which prompted manufacturing of new saxophones by many manufacturers. Later, in the 1950's, a gentleman by the name of M. Houvenaghel of France, introduced a great line of saxophones which had a single-tone key arrangement which enabled the musician to manage octaves with one thumb; this development became common with the sax and was included in all saxophones made from then on. Other kinds of saxophones were built and tried but this one-thumb control remained a permanent fixture to the sax.

Today, the sax is most popular in rock, jazz, and Army bands. The sax, today, is crafted of either brass or bronze and vary in price, capability, and style. Preferences are typical with different musicians of jazz and funk; most jazz professionals like mouthpieces with a lower chamber that generates a high baffle, louder, and sharper tone. Other classical players look for a larger chamber because of the lower, milder tone. Whatever the application, the saxophone is a great instrument for all bands. From its beginnings to day, the sax has made strides by leaps and bounds and is said to be the cornerstone instrument of jazz and funk. - 18762

You Have to See The Set It Off Movie

By Johnnie Longridge

Stick up a bank? Sure, why not. And the Set It Off movie cast was selected perfectly to imitate four girlfriends who, after being messed up by the system and have nothing to lose, decide to get into the bank robbing industry.

The Set It Off movie Cast includes a HOT Vivica Fox as Frankie, who was recently fired from her bank-teller job for a real BS reason and is pissed at society. She gets to kick some major bootie in this film.

Kimberly Elisa plays Tisean, a single mother that has lost her son to child welfare until she can come up with the money she needs to pay for child care while she cleans offices.

Queen Latifah plays Cleo, a raucous, pot-smoking lesbian, who is continuously up for messing around.

And super spicy Jada Pinkett plays Stony, who is in shock after the cops murder her brother in a situation of mistaken identity, and she simply wants the funds to get out. 'I want to be somebody who doesn't have to do this crap,' she says.

So the girls dig up guns, learn to fire, put on wigs and sunglasses that make their bad old selves look like young Tina Turner clones, and get into the bank-robbing business ' they experience success, which as you might expect leaves them wanting more.

Set It Off is funny, action packed, smart and witty. The quartetcarry out a screwy Godfather riff, and Cleo, swaggers and whoops ' she's a huge, noisy, outrageous bundle of walking black female. In the beginning, the heist business is merely a method to get away, but as their greed overtakes their better way of thinking and their chief pursuer ( John McGinley) closes in on their fantasy world, realty sets in and sends the picture in a tragic direction.

If you're looking for a film to watch with your girlfriend or boyfriend, the Set It Off filmis perfect! Both men and women will like this film Men will love the action and women will understand and enjoy the bond these four girls maintain and what drives them. Women (and perhaps a few men) will furthermore enjoy the subplot romance involving Stony and a banker played by Blair Underwood.

You can currently get the Set It Off movie on Blu-ray, which makes it an astounding high-definition film watching experience!

The Set It Off soundtrack rocks and is a ideal fit for the film, featuring artists such as Bone Thugs N Harmony, Seal, Busta Rhymes, of course Queen Latifah and even a cameo by Gladys Knight in the song Missing You. Even if you don't like the picture, the Set It Off soundtrack alone is worth it. It's a remarkable compilation of music. - 18762
