Dubstep Music - A New Genre of Electronic Music Emerges As a UK Trend to Become a Global Phenomenon

Dubstep music was one of the first genres of music to emerge in the 21st century, having developed right around the start of the new millennium. It was primarily influenced by the Grime and 2-Step scenes popular in the United Kingdom at the end of the 1990s and early 2000s and has also integrated elements of breakbeat and drum & bass music. The term 'Dubstep' first started to be used around the year 2002, by which time it had fully developed into its own genre of music and began to receive mainstream recognition.

Dubstep is predominately instrumental, though vocal samples are not uncommon. The rhythm loops and drum tracks used in Dubstep can give the impression of being slowed down, as if they were actually played at half the speed of other elements in the song. The bass line tends to be the focal part of any Dubstep track, with special attention given to processing and mixing sub bass frequencies (those below 100 Hz). As a rule of thumb, the tempo usually ranges from between 130 and 150 BPM.

The club "Forward>>," located in London, was the first establishment to host a regular Dubstep event. The BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel was one of the first recognizable figures in the music industry to embrace the sounds of early Dubstep and was known to include Dubstep song in his radio sets in 2003 until his death in 2004. Other influential DJs and producers involved in the genre at the time included Skream, Benga and Plastician, to name a few. By 2005, Dubstep had grown from a local UK scene into a worldwide movement, with Dubstep events being held in the United States, Japan and elsewhere.

Currently, some of the biggest names in Dubstep today include Skream, Benga, Rusko and Boxcutter, all of whom are based out the United Kingdom. Influential Dubstep record labels include Planet Mu, Dub Police, Z Audio, Hotflush Recordings and Tectonic.

Create Computer Games - Get Started on Creating Your Own Virtual Worlds

I’ve always loved video games, ever since I first played them on a friend’s computer in the afternoon after elementary school. There’s something almost magical about the fact that we can move images around and interact with virtual worlds, a living fantasy presented for us to interact with however we please. I’ve also always wanted to make games myself but, until recently, didn’t have the technical knowledge to do so. Now, I’m a second year software engineering student, so if I weren’t able to code a game without too many dramas there’d be something drastically wrong. But what about the common person: the person for whom the term ‘memory leak’ conjures up images of their grandfather, ‘pipeline’ is where the water flows, and ‘blitting’ is unheard of? Well, everyone can get in on the game creation process, and you don’t even need to learn ‘real’ programming to do so.

So where do games start? With an idea. Games, like all fiction, require an idea to be successful. Sure, in the same way you can just sit down and write a story without foresight, you can jump on in and slap a game together. However, unless you get ridiculously lucky, the best works are usually the ones that have been well thought out beforehand.

There are two methods of planning a project. You can start from a known technological standpoint and build your project on top of that or you can just go for the design, add as many features and ideas as you like, and then remove the ones that you can’t use when you’ve decided on the technology you’re going to implement the game with. In general, the second type is probably the best one to go with when designing games. When you’re first starting out however, the first option will save you many headaches.

Create Computer Games - Get Started on Creating Your Own Virtual Worlds

So, for a first game you’re going to want a pretty simple idea. Don’t get me wrong, crazy-go-nuts game ideas are fantastic, and there should be more of them out there, but you’re not going to be able to create a real world simulator with fifty billion virtual people all interacting real time with your actions having a butterfly effect on the future of the virtual universe when it’s just your first game. Really. Many people try it; none that I know of have succeeded. Imitation is the best way to start out. Simple games such as ‘Space Invaders’, ‘Tetris’, ‘Pacman’ or even ‘Pong’ are great places to start. All are largely simple to create but have some inherent challenges. ‘Pacman’ for example, requires path finding for the ghosts. I recommend that you start even simpler than that for your very first attempt. ‘Space Invaders’ is a nice point to jump in. You can make a simple, complete game without much effort and it’s almost infinitely extensible.

If you’re stuck for an idea, pick a genre that you enjoy. Do you love adventure games such as ‘Monkey Island’, ‘Grim Fandango’, ‘Space Quest’, ‘King’s Quest’ etc.? Design one of those. Are you into fighting games like ‘Street Fighter’, ‘Tekken’, ‘Soul Calibur’, ‘Mortal Kombat’ and so on? Come up with an idea for that. Do you like first person shooters such as ‘Quake’, ‘Half Life’ or ‘Doom’? I don’t recommend it as a first project, but you can always give it a go. Feel free to be as generic as you like, this is a learning experience after all.

Now that you have your idea it’s time to flesh it out. Don’t worry about the technology or the fact that you may not know how to actually implement a game just yet, just grab yourself some paper and a pencil and go crazy with ideas. Describe the main characters, game play, goals, interactions, story, and key mappings, anything you can think of. Make sure you have enough detail so that someone can read through the notes and play through the game in their head with relative accuracy. Changing game design during the coding process is almost always a bad idea. Once it’s set, it should remain set until the tweaking phase (I’ll go into this more later) or you’re likely to enter ‘development hell’, where the project goes on and on; more and more work is done with less and less outcome.

At the end of this period of your game creation, you should have the following:

- A written outline of the game’s characters and possibly a sketch or two (be they space ships, yellow circles, cars or the prince of the dark kingdom of Falgour, you need to know who or what the player will be and who they will compete against)

- A written outline of the story (if there is one, this isn’t too vital for ‘Space Invaders’ or ‘Tetris’, but for ‘Uber Quest: An Adventure of Awesomeness’ it’s a really good idea)

- A description of game play, written or storyboarded. Storyboards are visual representations of ideas. Draw your characters in actions, with arrows showing the flow of action and short written descriptions detailing the events occurring in your image (because some of us aren’t fantastic artists and our images can be a little… open to interpretation…)

Now that you have a fleshed out idea, it’s time to work out how this will all get put together. If you’ve gotten to this point and are worried that you’re going to have to spend years learning complex programming languages in order to implement your idea, fear not! Others have already done the hard yards for you. There are many RAD (Rapid Application Development) Tools available for game creation, a number of which are available for free online. Some of them still require you to learn a ‘scripting language’ (a simplified programming language made for a specific task) but in general this isn’t too complicated or involved. I’ve compiled a brief list of some of these I have found at the end of the article. The free ones are listed first, organized by game genre.

Well, that should be enough to get you started in the creation of your game. The most important thing to remember once you’ve gotten this far is that you need to complete your game. Many people start a project and then lose interest and it fails, or they keep moving on to one new project after another without finishing anything. Start small, build a working (if simple) game that is, above all else, complete. When you get to this stage you will always have a huge number of things that you wish to change, fix etc. but you’ll get a great feeling from knowing that it is, in its way, finished.

From this point, you can start the tweaking phase. Play your game a few times and ask others to do the same. Take note of what isn’t fun or could be better and change things here. At this stage, it is more important than ever to keep backups of previous versions so that if a change doesn’t work you can go back and try something different without losing any of your work. It is at this point that you can add all new features, improve graphics and sounds, whatever you please, safe in the knowledge that you’re working on a solid foundation.

When you’re happy with your game, why not share it with the world? There are many cheap or free places out there for you to host your files on and then you can jump on link lists and forums and let everyone know about your creation. Well, I hope that this has been a helpful introduction into the art of creating games. It’s a great deal of fun, and can open whole new avenues of creative expression for you to explore. Jump in and have fun!

Buying Repo Motorcycles Can Save You $$$

Have you ever thought of looking at repo motorcycles to buy as an alternative to the normal new or used option? If not, then take my advice and check out the idea. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised with what you will find.

Not only are there repo motorcycles but also boats, cars, trucks, campers and more that can be found at auction houses around the country. These bikes and autos have usually been repossessed because people have not been able to repay their loans for what ever reason. Because of this the finance companies repossess the vehicles and then use auction houses to sell them to the highest bidder.

Often you will find these repo motorcycles, boats, cars and so on still in excellent condition when being sold at these auctions. This in itself gives you the perfect opportunity to purchase not only something at a cheaper cost but also something in good order as well.

Buying Repo Motorcycles Can Save You $$$

The down side of this is that because they are sold at auction you wont have the opportunity to test drive these machines or take them to get checked out. But my suggestion is to have somebody with you who is knows enough to go over it there and then to at least give it a quick check over.

You should always do your homework first before bidding on any thing so you know what is worth what. Other wise how do you know if you are getting a true bargain. Once you have done that and you are sure that you want what ever item it is being auctioned then all you have to do is bid. Most times you will end up with a fantastic bargain. Remember these finance companies just want their money back and are not there to make a killing.

Electronic World - How We Use Electronics in Daily Life

Using electronics today is so much a part of our daily lives we hardly think of the way the world would be without electronics. Everything from cooking to music uses electronics or electronic components in some way. Our family car has many electronic components, as does our cooking stove, laptop and cell phone. Children and teenagers carry mobile phones with them everywhere and use them to take and send pictures, videos, and to play music. They send text messages on the cell phone to other phones and to their home computers.

Wireless internet is becoming more common all the time, with laptops set up in cyber cafes where people can drink coffee and check their email all at the same time. The computer user can do all the web searching in relative privacy thanks to the electronic accessories which can be added to the computer. Conversely, more and more transactions are being sent electronically across the airwaves so security is becoming a larger issue than ever before. Merchants who sell products online must be able to assure their customers that information submitted at a website is not being accessed by unauthorized personnel.

New Electronic

Music is a prime user of electronics, both in recording and in playback mode. Stereos, record players, tape decks, cassette players, CD drives and DVD players are all the result of advances in electronics technology in the last few decades. Today people can carry a playlist of hundreds of songs around with them easily in a very small device--easily portable. When you add Bluetooth or headphones the music can be heard by the user, but does not disturb those nearby.

Electronic World - How We Use Electronics in Daily Life

Electronics technology in cameras has increased dramatically. A digital camera is available to most Americans at a price they can afford and cellphones often includes a fairly sophisticated digital camera that can capture still pictures or even video pictures and store them or transfer them to a computer where they can be saved, shared digitally with family or friends or printed out in hard form with a photo printer device. Pictures obtained through a camera or by means of a scanner can be edited, cropped, enhanced or enlarged easily through the marvel of electronics.

Literally thousands of everyday devices that we use constantly make use of electronics technology in order to operate. These are products ranging from automotive engines to automated equipment in production settings. Even artistic efforts benefit from computer modeling prior to the committing of valuable artistic media to create the finished product.

Electronics devices are being used in the health field, not only to assist in diagnosis and determination of medical problems, but to assist in the research that is providing treatment and cures for illnesses and even genetic anomalies. Equipment such as MRI, CAT and the older X-rays, tests for diabetes, cholesterol and other blood component tests all rely on electronics in order to do their work quickly and accurately. Pacemakers and similar equipment implanted in the body is now almost routine.

Landlords - Slash Your Energy Costs and Attract Green Tenants

For every landlord heating costs are a concern, but there is a way to reduce your energy needs and attract more tenants. By using the newest green technology, you can reduce the amount of fuel or electricity you use to heat your properties. The most effective way to achieve this is by installing solar heating tubes. Landlords that install eco-friendly, climate conscious heating technology will find themselves attracting an a new type of tenant, who are concerned with their ecological impact, either for practical or ideological reasons. As government regulations regarding energy consumption tighten, businesses are under increasing pressure to locate buildings that minimize their impact on the environment. Even residential tenants are showing an increased interest in homes which use green energy.

How Much Benefit Do Solar Heating Tubes Give?

Save Order

The extent of the benefits you can receive by installing solar heating tubes depends primarily on what kind of heating system your building uses. Most buildings can receive the benefits of using solar power to heat their water supply. Owners of buildings which use radiant heat could further benefit by using the solar heating tubes to heat the building itself. Either way, however, you could save a large amount of money, particularly when factored over a long time period.

Landlords - Slash Your Energy Costs and Attract Green Tenants

Solar heating tubes help you cut your heating costs even if your properties are in a colder environment, or one that receives fewer days of direct sunlight. The tubes, cylindrical in shape, are a somewhat new development, and represent a remarkable improvement over the standard, flat solar panels which have been with us since the 1960s. This enables them to be positioned so as to be in prolonged contact with available sunlight, thus increasing their efficiency. Additionally, vacuum tubes are used to ensure optimal insulation, which ensures that hardly any of the collected energy is wasted before being used for heating purposes within your building. The less energy is lost the less you have to rely on electricity or gas, saving you money on your heating expenses.

Spend Today, Save Tomorrow

Although solar technology is nothing new, and environmentally conscious tenants have long encouraged landlords to look for more energy efficient, renewable sources for providing heat and electricity, the means for doing so has only just become available. In order to cut your energy costs and bring in Eco-friendly tenants, you should seriously consider installing the newest solar energy system at your earliest convenience. With the majority of the world's governments on board with the battle against climate change, and many of them providing sizable incentives to landlords green energy is now the hottest thing in the building trade. So why wait?

Despite the fact that using solar power to heat your building's water can save you a lot of money, and even if it wasn't true that going green will help you attract a new breed of tenants, it would still be the right thing to do. You will be saving money and the environment at the same time, and that's not a bad combination at all.

Landlords - Slash Your Energy Costs and Attract Green Tenants

Craig Axelrod is VP of Business Development for Emmy Energy, a NY solar power company offering solar heating tube systems & solar panels throughout the North East.

Where to Find Repo RVs and How to Buy a Repo RV

People all over America are excited about buying used RV repos. RVs are a great way to vacation and see America from the comforts of your own home. Unfortunately, taxes are going up and the economy may not be. People looking for ways to save money may benefit from recent economic down turns as the chance to find more great deals from desperate sellers, or foreclosed and repossessed RVs may be on the rise.

Most new RV are very overpriced. People know that when they drive that new RV off the lot, they automatically lose 30% of it's value. Buying used or repossessed RVs is a good way to save you a bundle. To get a greatest deals I normally do not recommend a dealer. Instead we recommend finding great deals through private party sellers or buying Repo RVs from a bank.

Save Order

The problem is that most repossessed RV never go to private party auction. They just get auctioned off to a dealers are they get turned over to an authorized dealer as part of a consignment agreement. Banks are not professional RV sales people. They do not have an advertising budget and they just want to sell as quickly as possible. Either way, you are still buying 3rd party when you buy a bank repo.

Where to Find Repo RVs and How to Buy a Repo RV

A good idea to find bank repo RVs is to contact your lender and asks them if they have any that they are selling or if they get any to contact you if they do. You may get lucky a few lenders may be helpful. One of the biggest sub prime RV lenders is American General Finance. You could also try contacting them. Most RV repos are sold as a silent auction. They may allow you to walk through before the auction or just after. All the sales are normally final and you buy the RV in As-Is condition.

The great part is that unlike foreclosed home, most repo RVs are in good condition. You can get and RV in good condition for a great price. Another benefit is it could come with a lot of upgrades, like satellite, Internet access and multiple slide out. You can get a lot more RV for your money.

When buying a repo RV at an auction it is important to be focused on what you want and to keep in mind a ceiling bid. Set this amount in your mid before you go to the auction to avoid a bidding war. This is the maximum you will allow your self to bid. The only real way to lose out at an auction is to become emotional and overbid.

Before bidding make sure to thoroughly inspect the unit (when possible). Anything that needs to be fixed need to be deducted from the price you would otherwise be willing to pay. If it is not possible to inspect the motorhome beforehand, factor in a contingency factor of 5-15% to fix likely minor repairs. Make sure you are not obligated to buy if the unit has any major problems. Some times they will give you 24 hours or 3 days to have the unit inspected and this is usually more than worth the cost. Use a basic guide book to determine the approximate value of the repossessed RV. If you use the NADA guide keep in mind that you are not buying at private party price, but probably at or below the trade in value. If you do not have access to this value, call a dealer and ask them what the trade in value is. In most cases, they will be glad to help you. This will allow you to get the best deal on repo RVs.

Free SVG Cut Files for Cricut Save Scrapbookers Time, Money

Budget-conscious scrapbookers who want more options for their Cricut digital die cutting machine are turning to free SVG files that can be downloaded and cut using third-party software, avoiding the need to buy costly image cartridges.

A wide range of images are available for instant download. Popular subjects include: animals, butterflies, toys, pirates, baby, wedding and holidays. Some sites offer the files for free, while others charge a dollar or so per design, or a few dollars for a themed collection of designs.

Save Order

Scrapbookers who wish to use cut files must have a Cricut machine (which is manufactured by the Utah-based company Provo Craft), a standard printer cable and third-party software such as Sure Cuts a Lot (for Mac or PC) or Make the Cut (for PC only).

Free SVG Cut Files for Cricut Save Scrapbookers Time, Money

Besides expanding the design styles and options available to paper crafters, the ability to use third-party software with the Cricut means that virtually any True Type Font can be imported, "welded" together (if desired) and then cut. With Cricut brand cartridges retailing for or , the ability to have thousands of free fonts and shapes available is a huge money-saver.

More and more designs are becoming available for instant download as scrapbookers, card makers and other paper crafters become aware of this affordable way to use their digital die cutter for crafts, school projects, teacher billboards, party supplies and even for decorating cakes or cutting vinyl clings for windows.

Paper crafters simply search the internet for free SVG files, or visit a favorite cut files website they've bookmarked. Most images can be downloaded with just a click, and then saved to the user's computer hard drive.

Once the SVG files are downloaded, they can be imported into Sure Cuts a Lot or Make the Cut, software programs that are available for purchase from their respective developers.

Then, using the "break" command, users separate the different layers of a digital design, arranging those elements on a virtual mat based on the color of cardstock or paper they wish to cut them onto. Next, they place the cardstock onto the mat in the corresponding areas, load the mat into the Cricut machine, and send the command to cut the design.

Once assembled using crafters' glue, digital die cuts can be creatively embellished with white gel pens, rhinestones, glitter glue and other supplies. Another popular technique is to add dimension with foam "pop dots" or by chalking the edges of each layer of the design. Because each scrapbooker brings his or her own style to the craft table, each completed die cut design can have its own, unique look.

Designer cut files, especially in SVG format, are expected to continue to grow in popularity as scrapbookers with Cricuts or other cutters seek ways to be creative without spending a lot of money.

Free SVG Cut Files for Cricut Save Scrapbookers Time, Money

Kevin Savetz is creator of more than 80 web sites, including FreePrintable.net sites offering free printables. In September 2010, Savetz launched CutFiles.net, with free SVG digital die cut files to download and use with the Cricut machine.
