Get Started with BearShare

Before we begin on how to get started with BearShare, let me give you a brief overview of what it is. BearShare is one of the world’s fastest and most reliable online sources for a free music download. It provides you with a library of songs and artists so vast you will never again have to look for other sources for your musical needs. Whether you’re looking for chart-topping hits from the Top 40, or for obscure independent bands, BearShare has it all for you. You can choose to download either entire albums or individual songs.

Now that you’re familiar with what BearShare is, you have to be informed of how it works. Simply visit BearShare website so that you may download the .exe file.

Upping The Ante

Other additions available to Pro users are faster downloads, zero ads, a special Instant Messaging window, skins to liven up your player, and unlimited upload space.

Keeping Things Up-to-date

As with everything else, song selection is subjective to your mood of the moment. You don’t dress in dark colors when you’re happy, and you don’t dress in bright colors when you’re sad; you don’t listen to dance songs when you’re feeling down on the dumps, and you don’t listen to sad songs when you’re feeling good. Keeping your music library well-managed and updated is the best way to coordinate your mood. With a few simple clicks, you’re able to mix up some tracks that befit your current vibe. Party playlist? Check. Work playlist? Check. Exercise playlist? Check. You’ll soon feel like your life has its own soundtrack.

However, you can’t have your computer with you 24/7. Fortunately, BearShare also stands-in as a Burner. With your free music download placed in specific playlists, it is easy to simply drag and drop an entire playlist to the burn field and you’re ready to create your own CD! The opposite, of course, holds true as well. If you find yourself looking for a song that isn’t in the BearShare library just yet, you can rip those songs off of a CD so that you may add them to a playlist. That’s pretty convenient.

As I’ve mentioned before, technology seems to advance at such a fast pace these days. If you’re feeling out of sorts with cds, you can keep calm. You can also sync your iPods and other mp3 players to the BearShare library and add those songs to your player. However, these are available only to those using BearShare ToGo, or if you have procured the tracks individually. That’s still not too shabby, if you ask me. Come and visit Bearshare to gain access to such.

These sideshows also featured humans who had various diseases and conditions that at the time was not known to the general public. These people were deemed freaks and treated as curios for people to pay to view, Siamese twins, people with Hypertrichosis (wolf people), additional limbs and horns, terrified the public and also fascinated them.

Freak shows date back further than the great depression, back in 1630’s Lazarus Colloredo and his conjoined twin John Baptista who hung from Lazarus’s sternum where famous  for touring Europe. In 1727 Peter the Great collected and displayed what he called”natural and human curiosities and rarities” at the Russia’s first Museum the Kunstkamera, he was however passionate about the study of deformities and wanted to debunk the myths of monsters caused by certain diseases.

The most modern versions of the Freakshow, have to be the The L.A. Circus Congress of Freaks and Exotics and the sensationalist TV programs Bodyshock and the Extraordinary People documentary. Even connections to things that are monstrous, disturbing or circus like, draw peoples attention.

So this leads us to what is on show today and what lies behind some of these museums that makes them still so popular, considering one of the modern freak show owners can still fill a 2000 seat circus. A sideshow much like some that we will see in the showcase below is featured in Rob Zombie movie House of 1000 Corpses, a couple of hapless teens are writing a book on off-beat roadside attractions, and when they stop for gas they find the owner, a clown named Captain Spaulding also runs an odd little freak show.

1. John Strong

John Strong has a travelling freak show (museum) that he makes a handsome living from. His featured oddities include Life Size Fiji Mermaid, Two Headed Cow called Nosey Rosey who is alive, Five Legged Yorkie Puppy and an elephant woman called Kima.

2. Vent Haven Ventriloquist Museum

OK, i have found the film Magic with Anthony Hopkins really creepy, and since then i have hated dummy’s. The Vent Haven is the only one of it’s kind and is home to 700 dummy’s, all of which are creepier than the next. One of them is Cleo who was purchased in 1956 whose claim to fame is that she has moving breasts… not sure why that would come in handy.

3. The Museum of death

Founded in San Diego in 1995, the building is actually the City’s first mortuary and was owned by Wyatt Earp. The museum features photos of Charles Manson murder scenes, artwork by serial killers, a guillotined head, morgue photos from the black dahlia murders and a range of full size execution devices. If that’s not bad enough, you can also watch videos of autopsies and the Traces of death video, showing real death footage…nice.

4. John Zaffis Paranormal Museum

5. The Mummy Museum

In the heart of Mexico lies Guanajuato, and in this small little town lies ‘Museo de las momias’ or ‘the mummy museum’. The museum features bodies from the Panteón catacombs, where the bodies have been naturally preserved.

Guanajuato is a colonial city in the heartland of Mexico, located in the state of the same name. The historic town and adjoining mines are a World Heritage Site. Guanajuato is also the home of the incredible Museo de las momias, or Mummy Museum. In the Panteón catacombs just west of the city is a famous cemetery especially known for the natural mummies resulting from unknown means. Approximately 1 in 100 bodies buried there experience natural mummification. Visit the impressive and creepy Mummy Museum of Guanajuato.

If that’s not grim enough, they also show a giant testicle belonging to an Elephantiasis sufferer, the scrotum is 75cm in diameter.

10. The Glore Museum

What adds the major creepy element to this exhibit is that is based in an abandoned hospital ward, the museum has recently expanded the exhibit which now features more horrific ‘treatment’ devices from the 16th, 17th and 18th century, if you can call them that. The methods of treatment for these poor people, look more like torture.

Glore continued to develop one of the largest collections of mental health historical items until he eventually retired from the Missouri Department of Mental Health

The Wall Street Journal has a fantastic photo essay and article at the link below.

Wall Street Journal: “Punch Me Panda”

Nate Hill has reincarnated! Earlier this year, the artist had himself a Manhattan walkabout (and Tweetfest) as a masked, 100% white-clad Mr. Dropout, “detachment walking” through the city in his “cocoon,” meditating and kind of resembling this LES character. Then he went “missing.” And now, he’s back as Punch Me Panda. It’s a panda. You can punch it.

It will cost you a penny per punch. Servicing Brooklyn this November, Punch Me Panda (a homeless Bronx Zoo escapee) will virtually become your anger outlet. He’ll come to your house by appointment when New York is getting you down and you can punch at it with boxing gloves. Sounds like a socially beneficial and potentially life-threatening endeavor. Unlike Death Bear that mostly attracted girls, this is more “man friendly.” Let the unisex rage expulsion begin!

There is a talc mine, considered one of the largest not only in Urals, but in Russia. The work on this mine began in the 19^th century, and the first use of mechanized equipment was in 1931.

But now everything is abandoned, and it looks like someone yelled “fire!” someday and everyone ran. All the machines are there, degrading day after day, the plants grow wherever they can and the few visitors that come around that place see the great potential of the site and the disaster from now. Very impressive are the walls that resemble to the Egyptian pyramids, and the only way to go up or down on them is a wooden stair.

In this illustration, the artist has used a very creative hand to create life forms which have a lot of similarities to animals and birds found on earth. He has fused a lot of features from different animals and made an alien. While doing this he has ensured that they are suitable to the environment of that planet to a large extent. For example, the inhabitants of Pluto are bat like due to the apparent lack of light, and those found on Jupiter had to be huge to counter the effects of immense gravity.

In 2008, she was the second actor to be cast in the CW series 90210, portraying antiheroine Naomi Clark. Initially, the part of Clark was conceived as a supporting role. By the end of the first season, however, various media outlets had begun referring to McCord as the series’ lead.

Apart from acting, she has also contributed to charities in her free time, and has been labeled by the Look to the Stars organization as “one of the strongest young female philanthropists standing up in Hollywood and fighting for the charities she believes in.” In 2009, McCord was nominated for a Teen Choice Award, and received the Hollywood Life Young Hollywood Superstar of Tomorrow award. For the role of Naomi Clark, she won a Breakthrough of the Year Award in the category of “Breakthrough Standout Performance” in 2010.

McCord was born in Atlanta, Georgia. She was home-schooled and graduated from high school at the age of 15, after which she joined the Wilhelmina Modeling Agency and appeared in ads for various brands, including Estee Lauder and also briefly modeled for Seventeen magazine.

AnnaLynne McCord appears in the 2005 Italian film Natale a Miami and 2007 horror film remake Day of the Dead. In addition to appearances on Close to Home and The O.C., she played rebellious Loren Wakefield on the MyNetworkTV limited-run serial American Heiress. She was also cast as the star in another MyNetworkTV telenovela, Rules of Deception, but the show never aired, due to a change in the network’s programming strategy away from telenovelas. In addition, she has guest-starred in episodes 119 and 120 of Ugly Betty, an episode on the first season of Greek, and an episode on the fourth season of Cold Case.

McCord portrayed Eden Lord, a character in the fifth season of the FX series Nip/Tuck. She reprises her role as a guest star in several season 6 episodes. In 2008, she joined the debuting series 90210 as Naomi Clark, a part which media outlets have since referred to as the central role. In 2009, McCord was the recipient of the Hollywood Life Young Hollywood Superstar of Tomorrow award. She was also nominated for a Teen Choice Award for her portrayal of Naomi. McCord was being considered for the role of Heidi in New Moon, the sequel to the 2008 film Twilight, according to E! Online. However, she did not get the role. According to McCord herself she turned the part down because she was “in need of some R&R. The role went to Noot Seear. In 2010, McCord won a Breakthrough of the Year Award, in the category of “Breakthrough Standout Performance”, for her work as Naomi Clark.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is an Executive Branch agency of the United States government, responsible for the nation’s civilian space program and aeronautics and aerospace research. Since February 2006 NASA’s self-described mission statement is to “pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research.”

NASA was established by the National Aeronautics and Space Act on July 29, 1958, replacing its predecessor, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). The agency became operational on October 1, 1958. NASA has led U.S. efforts for space exploration ever since, resulting in the Apollo missions to the Moon, the Skylab space station, and later the Space Shuttle. Currently, NASA is supporting the International Space Station and has been developing the manned Orion spacecraft.

NASA science is focused on better understanding Earth through the Earth Observing System, advancing heliophysics through the efforts of the Science Mission Directorate’s Heliophysics Research Program, exploring bodies throughout the Solar System with advanced robotic missions such as New Horizons, and researching astrophysics topics, such as the Big Bang, through the Great Observatories and associated programs. NASA shares data with various national and international organizations such as from the Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite.

Cobra heart, Vietnam

It’s been made into TV shows, reported on, blogged about. The badass rep is hardly surprising: when it comes to freakish experiences in Asia, gulping down a live cobra’s heart in Vietnam is hard to beat.

In Vietnam, so-fresh-they’re-still-beating cobra’s hearts are dished up in a couple of ways: some, like Anthony Bourdain, eat the heart raw, followed by a cobra blood chaser. Others, like the Guardian’s Howard Marks, slurp it down with a glass of rice wine.

Cobra hearts are believed to enhance male virility in Vietnam, gastroenterologist Harry Teicher says. He reckons the taste is “like an interesting oyster.”

Balut, Phillippines

Balut, or half-fertilized duck or chicken egg, eaten in Asia with a pinch of salt — literally. Boiled and lightly seasoned balut can be found all over street food markets in the Philippines, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, where it’s traditionally seen as an aphrodisiac (though whether the sight of a dead, curled bird fetus can really amp up our libidos remains highly debatable).

Balut is prized among the brave-hearted for its balance of texture and flavors: first there’s sipping the embryo broth, then there’s the shell-peeling, and the chomping down

Fried tarantulas, Cambodia

The story goes that Cambodians, starving and desperate under the Khmer Rouge rule in the 1970s, started eating fried tarantulas in to stave off their hunger. The practice stuck, and now the fried tarantula, or a-ping, is seen by locals as a mouth-watering delicacy, with beautifying effects to boot.

The market town of Skuon is Cambodia’s veritable Spiderville, thanks to a network of tarantula burrows nearby. The spiders are usually fried with sugar, salt and garlic, and is a mouthful of complex textures, starting from the ‘moreish,’ cod-like head and body , to the disturbingly gooey abdomen. Travel website World Hum advises eaters to go for the brittler ones, with less squishy abdomens.

Blood Clams, Shanghai

China’s blood clams single-handedly infected some 310,000 people with hepatitis A in Shanghai in 1988, causing the state to ban the crustacean.

So it may seem like madness that there are still reports of sneaky foodies flouting the ban in the city’s restaurants and black markets.

Eaten immediately after it’s been dipped in hot water, Shanghai’s blood clams reportedly have a raw, briny taste that stands out in a food culture that is all about freshness and mouth feel.

The fact that it’s barely cooked also means it’s a time-bomb of viruses including hepatitis, typhoid and dysentery, thanks to the polluted waterways near Shanghai that the shellfish live in.

Fugu, Japan

By far the most notorious on Japan’s “been there, done that” circuit, fugu, or puffer fish, contain lethal doses of the poison tetrodotoxin in its organs, to which there is no known anecdote. If not prepared correctly, the dish is known to kill the unfortunate epicure in a slow and terrifying way: the toxin paralyzes the body’s muscles while the victim is fully conscious, and slowly he or she dies from asphyxiation.

When prepared correctly, however, it’s known to leave a thrillingly tingly taste on the tongue. Chefs around Japan have to pass a round of stringent tests to be licensed to serve the fish, but that doesn’t wipe out freak accidents of fugu poisoning, like the death of kabuki actor Bando Mitsugoro after an overkill of four fugu livers in 1975.

Those itching to play Japanese roulette may want to head to Shimonoseki, home to Japan’s largest fugu wholesale market.
