Customer Review: Rosetta Stone V3-Spanish (Latin America) Level 1,2,3
I purchased this for my college-aged daughter so that she could become proficient in Spanish. This has given her the practice she needs that the classroom (high school) did not.
Customer Review: Great Addition to School Learned Spanish
I took 17 hours of Spanish during my undergraduate degree, but could not speak Spanish. I could read Spanish, but I could not understand it when spoken. Rosetta Stone takes a different approach to teaching Spanish than my university. It has made understanding and speaking Spanish within my reach. I had a strong vocabulary base, but Rosetta Stone has helped me to be able to speak and use this vocabulary in everyday conversation. This is a great complement to any Spanish curriculum. It is a wonderful option for those who couldn't learn Spanish "the old fashion way."

Although there are numerous beaches from Hawaii to the Bahamas that would be perfect for a relaxing second honeymoon, perhaps the best option would be a challenging adventure that unites the pair together. Switzerland provides plenty of adventure, paired with scrumptious food, shopping, and international delights. This picturesque country showers travelers with home-style hospitality and awes them with looming mountains surrounded by ice, meadows, and crystal clear lakes.

Never a dull moment, Switzerland offers bustling cities such as Zurich that offer the shopping and clubs of Paris, but also has the formal international relations of the city of Geneva. So you can spend the day exploring and spending money and party together at night.

Besides the fun of the city, it can also teach you a history lesson. Switzerland is home to numerous art museums, including the Muse de l'Art Brut, as well as looming cathedrals like the impressive Rathaus. There is plenty of culture to explore in this country. Discover your spouse's art tastes and expand your minds together.

For music enthusiasts, Lucerne hosts the famous International Music Festival each year. This is a great way for a couple to experience a new culture together and enjoy the music and dance the night away.

Hiking the Swiss Alps is probably the best reason to travel to Switzerland for your second honeymoon. There are numerous guided hikes that take you up the mountains next to the famous Matterhorn. Hiking is a perfect adventure that any couple can tackle and overcome together. Plus you can relax in the inns along the way, a perfect bed-and-breakfast for a relaxing night. With homemade meals for dinner and breakfast, you will have plenty of energy to hike.

What better way to bond than overcoming a mountain together? Hike the Swiss Alps and explore Switzerland for your second honeymoon adventure.

The Future is Unwritten-DVD Documentary

Julien Temple, one of the early documentarians of the London punk scene and director of the 2000 Sex Pistols film The Filth and the Fury, turns his attention now to that other seminal British band: The Clash--or more accurately, to the band's co-founder, lyricist, rhythm guitarist and lead singer, Joe Strummer. The Future is Unwritten is more than just a biography of Strummer; it is a tribute and exploration of a musician, artist and devoted humanist. Though Temple respects and admires Strummer (his influence is exalted by close friends, peers and fans like Bono and John Cusack), he doesn't romanticize this larger-than-life personality and presents Strummer honestly and not always in flattering light, though the director's fondness for his subject is constant. Most movingly, Strummer himself provides the narration via reassembled excerpts from a variety of interviews and the BBC radio show he hosted during the nineties. In the wrong hands, this could be contrived, but in this masterful documentary it serves as a testament to not just Joe Strummer the myth, but Joe Strummer the man, telling us his story in vivid detail. The Future is Unwritten is a moving and personal portrait of a musician who helped shaped not just punk, but modern music as a whole. --Kira Canny
Customer Review: Amazing movie about a rock legend
There have been several movies made about Joe Strummer but Julien Temple's is unique in its personal touch. Temple was a friend of Strummer's for many years and so had insight into the man behind the music that many people did not have. The movie consists of Joe's life story as told by many friends, acquaintances, fellow artists and others who knew him or were influenced by him over the years. Amazing music, very well put-together, and just a great story about a man who was a huge influence on rock & roll and politics during his time on this earth. Joe was taken from the world too early when he died unexpectedly in December 2002 and after watching this movie one can only wonder what more he would have accomplished. The opening scene of Joe singing "White Riot" a capella in the studio is complemented by the closing scene of Joe and Mick Jones reuniting on stage 20+ years later to perform the same song...even though they were old (and Mick a little bald!) they still ROCKED. If you like the Clash, you must see this movie!!

As an avid bathroom singer you want to get out of the bathroom and exercise your vocal chords. Well the karaoke system makes for just that. You can sing your song in the confines of your home. No one to poke fun at you and you can feel like a star.

Now that you have made up your mind to purchase a Karaoke System, begin to see what best fits your budget and that is technically advanced. Once you have brought your system home, think of a place you are going to keep it. Avoid a corner or an area that has too many hard surfaces as the sound echoes and cause more of cacophony than music.

If you want to know how to use a Karaoke system, well it's quite simple. You will need basic tools like a screwdriver, tester and some nails to fit the system on your stand or table. Open the box of the system and run through the manual. Then plug in all the wires in the desired extensions. A Karaoke DVD will appear on your monitor.

Adjust the volume with the main volume control of the video and the microphone. Adjust the video screen to the microphone stand and start a sample song. Allow your kids to have the first sample song. So they too feel involved in the new setup.

Although Karaoke is world famous it has its roots in Japan. Daisuke Inoue was a Japanese musician who invented the system. After gaining much deserved popularity it travelled to Southeast Asia in the 80s and then to the world.

Once you set-up the karaoke get friends and family over to have a ball of a time. It is a simple way to bond with your kids too. Time off at home could be a song at the Karaoke. Or give points to the one who finished homework faster so he or she gets the first song at the Karaoke.

You could even make money out of it by setting up a Karaoke in a room you do not use. Set it up carefully reading the manual or call the company which will set it up for you. Rent it out to people who would love to use it for a few hours. This set up works because as against a restaurant where there is perennial noise, here the room is quite and for their use only.

Karaoke system is a good way to record songs, download movie songs and dance to the beat of any recorded songs. You can download and listen to all classes of songs like Hindi songs, Punjabi songs, Tamil songs, English songs and Korean songs.

X&Y - Fully Autographed

In this piano lesson you will learn to read easy piano tab notation. You will also learn to play an easy piano melody with the help of tabs. We will use the popular song Yesterday as an example.

To really learn to read piano sheet music is a goal worth striving for. It will open a world of music waiting to be played by your fingers. However, it will take some time to really master the art of reading sheet music.

Piano tabs are tools that can help you learn melodies fast. They are not a complete substitute for sheet music notation but can be an easy way to learn easy melodies as you develop your sight reading skills.

There is an established system for reading and writing piano tab notation. In this system you will have to learn the names of the white keys on your piano. The first note to find is middle c. This note is located at the middle of a piano keyboard. If you take a closer look at the black keys you will find that they are organized in groups of two or three keys.

The middle c is located immediately to the left of a group of two black keys in the middle of your keyboard. It is sometimes called c4 as it is in the fourth octave of an ordinary piano. On a keyboard with a less number of keys the key at the middle of the keyboard will still be called c4.

What is an octave?

If you start with the note c and play the notes to the right of c you will play a c-major scale. The notes are c d e f g a b. The note that comes after b is the next c. As you can see the next c has the same position to the left of two black keys as the middle c. This c is sometimes called c5 because it is in the fifth octave of a piano or grand.

The notes you play from c to the next c is called an octave. Octave means eight and you have played eight notes when you play from c to the next c. This interval is repeated all over the keyboard. c3 is the c to the left of middle c and so on.

The piano tab notation we will use in this article is a simplified form of the piano tabs used on the Internet. Here are the rules:

1. The white keys we will use are notated with lowercase letters. That is, c d e f g a and b.

2. The octave in which you are to play the notes are indicated with a number. c4 means middle c. If the following notes are in the same octave there will not be any numbers after the notes until you change octave.

3. If you are to play a black key it is indicated with an uppercase letter. C means the black key immediately to the right of c. In ordinary sheet music notation this note is written C#.

Now it is time to try to play the first notes of Yesterday by Beatles with the help of our simple piano tab notation. I will show you the first line of lyrics and below the corresponding melody written with piano tabs.

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away

d4 c c e F G a b c5 b4 a a

Now it looks as though they're here to stay

a4 a g f e d f e e

Oh, I believe in yesterday

d4 c e d a5 c4 e e

Now we have completed the first verse. The second verse have the same melody so we will jump right into the bridge:

Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say

e4 e a b c5 b4 a b a g a e

I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

e4 e a b c5 b4 a b a g b c5 g4 f e

After this you can complete the melody by playing the verse again. I recommend that you memorize the melody one line at a time. This little piano tab exercise is an introduction to the complete tab notation system you will find on the net.
