Hi, everybody, fans of adventures (I mean you, Glamis fans) and entertainment, especially fans of anime series. Do you want to remember the best in the history of anime? So, you are welcome. The hot topic of today is Voltron Video.

Voltron is a television anime series that has appeared as a result of a blend of Beast King GoLion and Armored Fleet Dairrugger XV. The first part of beloved series was titled Voltron: Defender of the Universe. Today this title is recognizable worldwide.

The country of Voltron origin is the United States and Japan. The first season named Voltron of the Far Universe or Lion Force Voltron was released as early as 1984. The success came immediately. Actually, the series turned out to be the number one program for anime lovers. In stores over the globe appeared hundreds of Voltron products.

According to creators of Voltron, their aim was to meet the needs of people whose interest in television entertainment was growing. This aim was doubtlessly achieved, and now World Events Production is a leader in technological innovation and excellence ever since.

Later on, Vehicle Voltron, Gladiator Voltron and other Voltron projects were successfully released. But a classic Lion Force Voltron remains the most popular among Voltron fans.
In 1985, Modern Comics, imprint of Charlton Comics, produced a three-issue mini-series based on the Lion Voltron television show In 2002, publishing rights were acquired by Devil’s Due, independent comic book in the United States.

It is said that we can expect a new release sometime in 2011. Now the work is in process. What’s more, Adult Swim will premiere the new Voltron-inspired parody series, Titan Maximum, on Sep. 27. This is a giant robot spoof by the creators of Robot Chicken.

Voltron is a show that combines a futuristic, sci-fi environment with classic fantasy elements. So, let’s remember the best and enjoy some more Voltron videos.

Glamis Videos - Live Your Life!

Merry — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 07:21:07 +0000

In contrast to the last time when we discussed Best NSync Music Videos, today we are talking about Glamis or Glamis Sand Dunes. So, if you are a fan enjoy videos below, but if you don’t know what it is let me explain a bit about this destination. The dunes of Glamis are known as the most popular off-road place situated in Southern California at the border with Arizona and Baja California del Norte.

The peaceful and silent dunes get overcrowded at holiday weekends when hundreds of thousands of visitors get together in such famous areas as Oldsmobile Hill and Gecko Road so that to ride up and down on quads, dirt bikes, rails etc. Such a fascinating show draws a huge number of spectators. Now, as I have already promised I offer some breathtaking Glamis videos.

Glamis stops are so popular and successful due to fun-filled gatherings that include family-friendly activities such as a scavenger hunt, bon fire, movie premier, a Show and Shine contest, KidZone, Karaoke Party, raffle, an ATV certification course, dune clean-up, and other.

The Glamis Sand Dunes are also known as Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area. According to researches, more than 1.4 million fans arrive here annually. The area occupies 72 km long and 10 km wide. Lots of you know the name of Algodones Dunes that can be translated from Spanish as Cotton Dunes, but I bet those who crashed there wouldn’t agree.

In spite of enormous popularity of the Glamis Dunes, there are lots of arguments and discussions aimed at restricting or even closing of the recreational area. Naturalists are meant to shut Glamis down because of an endangered plant. They have already shut some dunes and mean to continue, which caused burst of indignation from part of fans. But today when they are free and open to public, enjoy them and live your life with Glamis!

As far as the last Glamis events are concerned, they took place in March 2009 and in August 2009. Glamis fans may also mark their calendars for future Gordon’s Well in November 2009 and Dumont in January 2010. But now take your time and enjoy more Glamis videos.

Best N Sync Music Videos

Merry — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 08:42:00 +0000

Hi there, N Sync fans. Today your time has come!Let’s remember those sweet days and share some information and videos of the band. For novices I’d like to add a bit of band history as well.

N Sync was formed as early as 1995 and existed till 2002. It was the teen pop explosion of that time. After leaving the Backstreet Boys, Chris Kirkpatrick decided to create a new pop group. Thus he shared the idea with Lou Pearlman who suggested that they found other singers. Working at Universal Studios Kirkpatrick had a friend Joey Fatone, that’s why the singer was invited in the group as well. One more group member was suggested by Lou Pearlman. The thing is Lou Pearlman looked through some tapes by Mickey Mouse Club and his attention was driven by a talented singer Justin Timberlake. According to the history of N Sync, their fifth member was Jason Galasso at first but only a few weeks later he left the band. He said that the direction of the group displeased him, besides, he confessed that he had never aspired to be a teen idol. Who knows…

The name of the pop group consists of the last letters of its members’ names: Justi-N, Chri-S, Joe-Y, Lanste-N (though originally the ‘N’ came from Jason before he was replaced by Lance), J-C. BTW, Lance is a certified cosmonaut now.

N Synс performs pop soul music. Their distinctive feature is that all the members not only sing well but also dance and have experience as actors. N Sync video clips are extremely dynamic and full of impressing special effects.

Well, it is a pity that such a good group broke up in 2002. After gaining the world popularity and getting multiple awards including Diamond and Platinum Awards, the members of N Sync decided to go their own ways. But we keep listening to their songs and looking for information about its members. Now we have no opportunity to enjoy their performances, there are only N Sync video clips left. So, take your time and take pleasure!!!

Remembering the Best: Fiddler on the Roof

Merry — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 08:40:50 +0000

On August 30, 2009 closes ‘Fiddler on the Roof’: The Farewell Tour. It will take place in Portland, Oregon. It has only left for classics lovers to wait for another chance to see the favorite musical, songs and actors.
The most popular Broadway musical of all times and nations opened on September 22, 1964 at the Imperial Theatre. Its popularity was shocking. The next day after the opening night it became clear that the musical would come into history. The best testimony to it is 3242 performances for 8 years and 9 months and 9 Tony Awards received in 1965.

Initially, Fiddler on The Roof was entitled Tevye. The reason is the story is based on Tevye and his Dauhters (or Tevye the Milkman) tale.
Fiddler on the Roof was screened as early as 1971 by Norman Jewison. It turned out to be a real success. The film came into top 10 best films-musicals along with “Mary Poppins”, “My Fair Lady” and “West Side Story”. The film received 3 Oscars: the best screen version, the best sound and music; it received a Golden Globe as the best film (comedy or musical) as well.

Local color and singularity of the Jewish mentality, peculiar humor and almost natural optimism of the nation which had got stronger after numerous wanderings all over the world and constant prosecutions, tragicomic emotions of the protagonist observing the collapse of the world — all of it agitates hearts and souls of people throughout many years.

The film is serious and philosophical, despite an abundance of cheerful moments which help to restrain tears.
There are lots of interesting facts connected with the world-known musical. For example, on May 26, 2008 TIME magazine reported that the Fiddler on the Roof became the 7th most frequently performed musical by U.S. high schools.

Nowadays, you can hardly find something as striking, charming and unique as Fiddler on the Roof. So it is extremely important to appreciate such masterpieces and not to forget about them.

Gosh! A Mad At The Office!

Merry — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 11:09:41 +0000

Office, piles of documents, computer and other stuff are part and parcel of the life of a modern person. It’s considered to be well-paid and prestigious work. Such job provides you with money and quiet high status in the society, but thus influences negatively your nervous system. Don’t believe? Here it is.

Well, it’s impressive, there’s doubtlessly a lot to think about. Recently scientific researchers defined modern offices as a place hazardous to both physical and mental health. Do you know that having spent eight hours at the office a person gets tired more than after eight hours spent at the factory? It sounds strange, but it’s a fact - the immovability is unhealthier than intensive activity. What is no less important after the work the majority of those who work at the computers relax in the same way: on the sofa in front of the TV. There is also a huge role of unfriendly atmosphere in the staff which weakens the nervous system of office workers. In the result, everything seems to distract and irritate and step by step a person is getting mad. The next video is a proof to these words, now you’ll get to know that a bad joke will lead to no good, especially at work.

It goes without saying that office work is always accompanied with stress. Scientists have found out the main irritants for office workers. Surprisingly, the list consists of such everyday stuff as e-mail, printer, Internet. They can easily drive a white-collar mad.

Lots of people spend at the computer not only all the working time but also free time at home. The majority of us have to work at the computer all day long, but it’s up to us to decide how to spend the rest of the time. By the way, it’s possible to escape negative consequences of the office work quiet simply. Try to make a five-minute physical warm-up every two hours and use lunch time for walking. Well, there’re funnier ways to get rid of nervousness and enjoy yourself. Let’s take for example these men. They obviously know how to take it easy.

UTube Videos: See The Future!

Merry — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 10:26:52 +0000

There are some moments in our lifes when we try to imagine, what will the world look like a dozen years from now. Some people give up imagining a couple of hours later and the only living creatures they share their creative ideas with are pets, others make it their jobs. Since our age is information age and the companies are willing to share their concept projects with customers, almost any video on how they see the future can be found on YouTube. So, relax and get ready to familiarize yourself with the future technologies.

FOLD/UNFOLD ASUS Notebook Concept Design:

Looks like this concept laptop was inspired by japanese origami. The idea is fascinating! Plus, ASUS promises it will have touch screen, so, by the final release of Windows 7, this dream machine might become real.

Massaud - Manned Cloud Airship Hotel:

How about circling the globe in a few days? Add a restaurant, a library, a lounge and a gym, 20 passenger rooms, terraces with panoramic windows, a spa and a bar room and we’re all in!

Ford SYNC:

Who’s man’s best friend? A dog? Ford? The last variant is more likely.

Nokia Morph:

This is the yummiest concept of all! No more comments on this one. Just watch the video below!

If you’re still hungry for futuristic ideas, you can find some more here.

Flickr Proudly Adds Itself To List Of Video Sharing Sites

Merry — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 18:09:52 +0000

Looks like many social websites have finally come to the idea that people love to share videos with each other. So did Flickr, but will it be able to compete YouTube? That is the question.

Last Spring Yahoo has added a video hosting feature to its Flickr, but only for paid users of the Pro version. Recently the company has announced that now even users with free accounts can put their videos on Flickr. The service has also been enhanced with high-definition video quality, still only for members with paid Pro subscriptions.

Free users will be limited to two video uploads per month, and each video is limited to 90 seconds in length and 150MB in file size. This compares pretty scantily with YouTube’s allowance of up to 10 video uploads at a time with a 1GB size limit for free account holders. Vimeo permits 500MB and one HD video upload per week for free users.

A company representative clarified the free account situation as follows: “Anyone (Free and Pro) can upload HD video but it will only be processed as HD video if you are a Pro member. What this means for Free members is that Flickr keeps the original file, so if you ever decide to upgrade to a Pro account, your video will automatically update to HD, too.”

You can read about the changes on Flickr on Yahoo’s Yodel Anecdotal blog.

At the same time, YouTube has decided to give it’s users new opportunities: the site is launching a new Adopt A Feature campaign, inviting users to create videos showing off some of its lesser-known features, like AudioSwap. YouTube will track the progress of the features on its blog, and will present the most effective videos on the YouTube homepage and as permanent additions to its help pages.
