Best New Music BEST NEW MUSIC SHINE Gentley Insane rock alternative pop What a great name for an emerging group! 'Shine.' This is exactly what this quartet does, they shine - and blindingly so, this group is making some decent waves in the music scene, and it isn't surprising with the talent they've got. If the music doesn't reach you, then the lyrics will, especially when delivered by this prodigious vocalist! They will leave an indelible impression somewhere within your subconscious, and you won't realize it until you find yourself humming one of the songs from the disc! Shine is: Marnie Anderson (vocals), Jeff Fairbank (electric, acoustic guitars, backing vocals), Neil Bell (bass, backing vocals), and Matt Pavan (drums, percussion). Singularly, they are talented, together they are fantastic. Site: www.shinemusic.ca Samples: music.yahoo.com GooGoo Dolls Better Days rock alternative accoustic Early in their career, Buffalo natives the Goo Goo Dolls were frequently dismissed by critics as mere imitators of the Replacements; however, the band refined and mainstreamed their sound enough to become of the most popular adult alternative rock bands of the latter half of the '90s, selling millions of records to audiences largely unfamiliar with their inspirations. That's no knock on the band either their music simply improved in craft and accessibility as the years progressed, and radio happened to be receptive to what a decade earlier would have been considered collegiate power pop. Thus, the band landed two huge hits with the acoustic ballads "Name" and "Iris." The Goo Goo Dolls were formed in Buffalo, NY, in 1985 by guitarist / vocalist Johnny Rzeznik, bassist Robby Takac, and drummer George Tutuska Site: www.googoodolls.com Samples: music.space

And here they are, ready to put the disco in discordant, ready to red limit all the levels, its The Go! Team.Lodged somewhere in the previously undiscovered zone where Sonic Youth meets The Jackson 5, The Go! Teams debut album on indie label Memphis Industries Thunder, Lightning, Strike kicked out the jams and then spread it on crumpets for tea. The Go! Team is a 50/50 boy multinational girl boy split: band leader Ian Parton on electric guitar fucked up, harmonica and drums, Sam Dook on electric guitar, banjo and drums, Chi Fukami Taylor on drums, Kaori on electric guitar, keys and melodica and Jamie Bell on bass, and dynamite mcing from pocket rocket Ninja. Thats right, theres four drummers - eat your heart out Adam and the Ants. On record The Go! Team are the Uncle Bulgarias of pop music, making good use of things everyday folk leave behind. Throwing together electro, 70s cop show theme music, Bollywood soundtracks, cheerleading chants, old hip hop and noise guitar bands with a wide-eyed sense of possibility where everything crashes into everything else with a breathless, delighted, abandon. The Go! Team seem to be suffering from a collective brain-wrong that is gloriously, euphorically right. In less than a year The Go! Team have gone from first on at The Barfly to headlining the John Peel Stage at this years Glastonbury and performing on Later with Jools Holland. Following their round the block BBC/BPI and VICE shows at SXSW Rolling Stone described them as the buzz band of SXSW and Billboard said they were one of the hottest bands at SXSW.lead singer/rapper Ninja is a star who worked the crowd like a seasoned pro. So its not just England thats taking The G!T to its heart. From Williamsburg hipsters to Japanese teenagers demand for Thunder Lightning Strike has seen them play to sold out audiences of 1,200 on their first visit to New York, to 3,000 at Spains Primavera Festival, to a sold out tour of Sweden. They are booked into play international festivals including Fuji Rock, Roskilde, Eurokeenes as well as touring the US again in July and October of this year (and thats without any US label representing their interests as yet). And its live that this gleefully uplifting music begins to take full effect, the music crashes triumphantly along, blaring, distorted samples, noisy guitars, Ninjas gleeful rapping, dancing, yelling and hugging each other. Imagine the most exhilarating block party youve ever been to and then multiply the fun quotient by 100. The audience do everything they can to express their approval save forming human pyramids. They are right: its hard to think of anything in 2005 thats more exuberant, more joyous, more goddam fun than The Go!

Myspace Html Codes Guide and Tutorial Myspace Html Codes tutorial to insert images, music, videos and some backgrounds into your Myspace codes of html site Previous Articles Pimp my Myspace Codes Myspace Html Codes part 2 MySpace: Html Codes, the Basics on CSS Archives November 2005 December 2005 Links Webmaster Tools Resources and Information Money Online With Your Website Women Diary Net Women Blog Network Women Shopping Guide Women Health Cool Mucis Lyrics Collection Gifts Handicraft Wholesalers Meta Credits Site Feed Adapted layout design for WOMEN DIARY NETWORK Pimp my Myspace Codes You can change the appearance of your web page in several ways. You can alter the size, position (margins and padding), borders, background graphics, or even the color of the text. There are many tricks but the more detailed are beyond the scope of this article. If you are interested in learning more advanced techniques, follow this link. We find it easiest to alter the appearance or presentation using "styles". Styles can be pre defined or inline or both. Inline styles will be used for this article. HTML uses codes like TABLE to lay out a table (things that should be laid out using rows and columns), HR for a horizontal rule (a visual divider), SPAN to apply formatting to a segment of text, and P to define a paragraph. These are but a few of the html codes. You can browse the internet should you wish to learn more than are mentioned in this article. Each code may have certain attributes that control it's appearance. A table may or may not have borders, text may be one size or another, or the horizontal rule may be a certain width or length. For a list of all attributes, a good resource can be found here [LINK]. Use this reference once you become comfortable and really want to pimp my myspace! Read more! posted by womendiary | Permalink | [ to Del.icio.us ] | 0 comments Myspace Html Codes part 2 Ok let's continue again the myspace html codes on CSS Commands for Background edit. background-attachment - To determine whether a background image is fixed to a certain place on the page, or whether it will scroll with the page. fixed - Makes background image fixed within the window and the text will scroll over the image, but image will keep not moving. scroll - it's the default value - If there's no value is supplied, browsers will default to a property of scroll - It will makes the background image scrolling with the page. background-image - Will assigns an image to the background of an element. Note: url("http://....") - It was required for the URL to the image being used as a background. background-color - It used to apply a color to the background of an item. rgb(red, green, blue) - It's the easiest way to get an exact color for MySpace Html Codes. Color ranges are between 0 and 255 based oon it's RGB value. There will be over 16 millions different combinations choices of colour when combine between the three this results. #RRGGBB - It's the hexadecimal color code that similar to the rgb() property, but uses a base16 number system. The valid color ranges are from 00 up to FF which gives in a total of 255 different combinations per color, thus giving you over 16 million combinations. Named colors - This can be used too, but are not usually used. They can include such colors as gold or lightblue but it don't offer control that using one of the above to methods offer. background-position - To position the background image defined by background-image. bottom - The background image will be placed at the bottom of either the page, or the browser window, based on fixed or scroll background-attachment. top - The background image will be placed at the top of either the page, or the browser window, based on fixed or scroll background-attachment. left - The background image will be placed at the left of either the page, or the browser window, based on fixed or scroll background-attachment right - The background image will be placed at the right of either the page, or the browser window, based on fixed or scroll background-attachment center - The background image will be placed at the center of either the page, or the browser window, based on fixed or scroll background-attachment Proper syntax: background-position: horizontal vertical; background-repeat - To determine how a background image will repeat itself through a page. repeat - Tiles background image across entire page. no-repeat - It only allows for one background image to display through out the entire page element. repeat-x - Tiles the background image in a horizontal direction page only. repeat-y - Tiles the background image in a vertical direction page only. background - To compress all above commands into one command for ease of entry. Proper syntax: background: background-attachment background-color background-image background-repeat background-position; Other important command is the colorbackground-color. The difference between the two is that color applies to the text of a page, and background-color only applies to the color of the backgrounds. For the last, let's examine the piece of myspace html codes we were putting of till the end. Let's named the height : 10px; piece. In CSS, anything that is defined as a block-level element can be assigned a height. The easiest way to describe what a block level element is "Block-level element's typically contain inline elements and other block level elements. When it visually rendered, the block level element's ussually begin with a new line. ‘block-level element’?” One of the easiest ways to describe what a block level element is “Block-level elements typically contain inline elements and other block-level elements. When rendered visually, block-level elements usually begin on a new line.” A list of block-level elements can be found here . I hope this myspace html codes could be helpfull and easy to follow. Technorati Profile Read more! posted by womendiary | Permalink | [ to Del.icio.us ] | 0 comments MySpace: Html Codes, the Basics on CSS Some basic needed for Myspace Html Code is how to costumize the profile page by working on CSS . How to separate the visual display of a web site from the actual content of the site. And everybody that has a profile on Myspace has the ability to do this kind of designer job. You need access for the right tools and knowledge to do this, and for the rest of the article, I will assume that everybody has some basic knowledge on making a a good design. Now here I provide the myspace html code that can be copied and pasted to your profile and costumize it, and visual what codes do on display. That code would create something along the lines of the box below, without the border Without the border, the above code would create something along the lines of the box below, that apply not just to a small area, but to the entire page Please look at the 1st line above, that every embedded stylesheet respectively must begin and ended by . and please notice the type="text/css", that actually not required, but it's good practise to use when you want to define the stylesheet information. Some browser might decide that they should default to something else on CSS, but most will automatically default to CSS. Now to the 2nd and 6th lines, let's begin and end a standard HTML comment.Why we comment out the stylesheet code? Because if a browser can't understand the HTML tag, it'll be ignored and continue rendering the text between the tag. And with the comment there, if an older browser views it's profile, your style information won't be rendered as text on the page. That's some very basics for the myscpace html code , now we start to examining the actual code that we need to know to get CSS do what we want to. First and foremost is on 3th line, show that we can alter the way that any HTML tag by using CSS, any HTML tag can be redefined visually. It means that every single HTML tag can be rewritten to display the way we want to, as long as we got the right CSS knowledge to make it happen. Ok the next line shows that elements can be selected on a page by using it's ID attribute. And when using the ID, it can only be one ID at any given name per page. So if we work by using the ID's, just make sure that what has an ID is unique within the page. But Myspace html codes doesn't allow #'s being posted into the profile so automatically means that ID's are out as far as costumization goes. Myspace html code might decide to begin allowing users to target items by ID's so long as it doesn't affect the functionality of the page. And we let's take a look to 5th line where we could see how the class be defined and applied to the tag. All classes must begin with decimal ( . ) so the browser could realize that it's a class and not a tag. Unlike the ID's, we can multiple portions of page here that reference the same class. Now we've know some background on CSS, and the difference between tags, Classes and ID's, let's see the stylesheet now and what's going on between CSS to do something. All commands on CSS must end with semicolon ( ; ), at this example I only use 3 different style commands, and only two of them are very important. Which are : “background: rgb();” and “color: rgb();“. Most people will not really use the “height: 10px;” on their profile, so we won't talk about it. I think it's time for me for coffee time.. I'll continue later for this myspace html code, the basics :) Read more! posted by womendiary | Permalink | [ to Del.icio.us ] | 0 comments Pannasmontata layout for WOMEN DIARY NETWORK

MySpace.com-Safety Tips SafetyTips My name is Parry Aftab. I am an Internet privacy and security lawyer . I founded and run the world’s largest online safety and help group, WiredSafety.org . You may have seen me on TV ,read one of my books or heard about me in magazines or newspapers on Internet safety issues, especially those impacting kids. I get lots of e-mails and inquiries from parents about all types of Internet risks. Recently, I have been receiving a large number of inquiries from schools, parents, regulators and the media about social-networking websites. I decided that it was important to address parent concerns and answer their questions. Where better to do that than on the most popular of all social-networking sites, MySpace.com? MySpace.com and other similar sites are designed to allow people to share their creativity, pictures, and information with others. Sometimes people do this to find romance. Sometimes they do it to find friends with similar interest. While this may be okay for adults, it is not okay for kids. MySpace.com recognizes this, and prohibits anyone under 14 years of age from using their website. Unfortunately, while they may set rules to keep younger kids off the site, they can’t prevent kids from lying about their age, pretending to be 14 years of age or older. To address this, MySpace.com has developed special software to review the profiles of their members, to try and find anyone under age, based on information the members post about themselves. It’s not perfect, but it does help spot the underage members. While MySpace.com is doing its best to keep your children from using their website and lying about their age, it’s up to parents to do their job too. Parents need to talk with their children about not sharing personal information online. Personal information includes pictures, names and addresses, schools they attend, cell and phone numbers and many other less obvious things, such as the name of their school team, ethnic background and even a mall near your house. (You can learn more about how to talk to your kids and what you should be asking at WiredKids.org or WiredSafety.org . I am an Internet privacy and security lawyer and founded the all-volunteer Wired Safety Group. We can help you if things go wrong online, or you just have questions. We provide information, education and one-to-one help for victims of cyberabuse.) We at WiredSafety.org are developing a special program just for parents concerned about their kids using social-networking and online dating sites. It will teach you what you need to know about finding out if your child has a profile on one of these sites, how to review them and remove them, if you want to. It will also help you if your child is being cyberbullied using one of these sites or members from these sites, or is cyberbullying others. The best way to find out if your child has a profile on this or another similar site is to ask them. If you’re not sure that your child is being honest with you, you can search MySpace.com using their e-mail address, or by searching for their school. (You click on “search” and enter their email address or full name in the appropriate search box.) If you find that your child has a profile on the website, you should review it. It’s amazing how much you can learn about your child by reading their profiles. Does it contain personal information, such as their full name, address or phone numbers? Has your child posted photos? Are they photos of themselves or someone else? Are they sharing poems they write or provocative comments about themselves or others? If you want the profile removed (you must remove your child’s profile if they are under age), contact MySpace.com’s parental help staff or contact me at WiredSafety.org . If you want something removed from their profile, you can contact the parental help staff as well. Ultimately, protecting your child is your job. But you have lots of help. At WiredKids.org and WiredSafety.org thousands of volunteers donate their time to helping parents and children surf responsibly and safely. And we will be building a few tutorials here at MySpace.com to help parents and their children understand how to be careful when communicating publicly online. Ask them why they created the profile. You might learn that they wanted to share their thoughts with others, make new friends or even allow others in their school to get to know them better. But not all of their motives are as noble or safe. Some may be interested in meeting new romantic interests or role-playing inappropriately online. And when a young preteen lies about their age posing as a seventeen year old at the site, that can be a serious problem. Others in their late teens might approach your child thinking they were older. That’s bad for everyone. If you discover that your child is posting provocative comments or inappropriate images online, it’s time for the tough talk. The one about stranger dangers and how that cute eighteen year old boy they meet online may not be cute, may not be eighteen and may not be a boy. (Parents of young boys need to understand that their children are equally at risk. About one-third of the cases of Internet sexual exploitation are men exploiting boys.) Our children need to realize that there are real risks relating to meeting strangers offline, including murder. The first confirmed murder victim by an Internet sexual predator was thirteen when she died, three years ago May 2005. The risks are real, not matter how smart, sophisticated or tech savvy your kids are. We recommend the book, A Girl’s Life Online, by Katie Tarbox. We are also developing a few videos for teens teaching them about standard ploys used by Internet sexual predators to lure a young boy or girl into an offline meeting or sexual exploitation situations online. It’s not easy raising children anymore. It is even harder when the parent is expected to be expert in Internet, cell phone and interactive game risks. The good thing is that you’re not facing these challenges alone. We’re here to help. Just remember that while your kids may know more than you do about technology, you know more about life. And you are allowed to set the rules and enforce them. You’re still the parent! There is software you can install that will record what your kids say and post online. There is even one that will e-mail you reports at work. The ones I like best are made by Spectorsoft, and can be found at software4parents.com or spectorsoft.com . But don’t use them just to spy on your kids. Treat them like a security video camera in the corner of a bank. No one views the tapes unless and until there is a break-in. Do the same here. Check the program reports if something goes wrong. It will collect whatever you need for evidence and to help your child if something goes wrong. Also, check your parental control programs. Many, such as AOL’s and MSN’s, can block access to social-networking websites or other sites you think are inappropriate for your younger child. There are many other products you can purchase to block sites as well. (Check out software4parents.com to learn about and purchase some of these.) Just remember that the best filter is the one between your children’s ears. If you child is being bullied by another MySpace.com use online, check the terms of service first. If the bullying violates MySpace.com’s terms of service, report it to TOS and the offending comments and/or profile will be removed. If something serious occurs and you need to reach out to law enforcement, let them know that MySpace.com has created a special procedure for law enforcement inquiries, especially when the safety and well-being of its site users is involved. They should contact abuse@myspace.com. Cyberbullying is a growing problem. You can learn more about it, as well as how to prevent and handle cyberbullying incidents, at WiredSafety’s StopCyberbullying.org and InternetSuperheroes.org . WiredSafety.org also has a reportline link for victims of cyberbullying, their schools and parents where specially-trained volunteers assist victims of cyberstalking, harassment and cyberbullying without charge. If schools are looking for a presentation or program to address their students’ posting inappropriate profiles or using these websites while underage or other parent concerns, they should visit WiredSafety.org , WiredKids.org or Teenangels.org . Schools may find many of their students using a particular website. If the students are under 13, please notify MySpace.com’s help staff and their profiles will be removed immediately. Working together with schools and parents, we may be able to keep our kids off of website that are inappropriate for young children and teach them to make good choices online and offline. If you have other questions, contact me at askparry@wiredsafety.org. Stay safe. Parry Aftab , Esq. Executive Director, The Wired Safety Group ( wiredsafety.org ) Learn more about WiredSafety.org!
