The origins of the music style known as dub go back to Jamaica in the 70’s. at that time, the reggae scen was bursting with musicians, producers and studios creating loads of LP’s and 45’s.

Dub music emerged from that context. Initially, some singles started featuring an instrumental version on the b-side, where voice was totally or partially taken out and the bass and drums had a higher relevance and more effects.

The technological evolution resulted in improvements like the echo and reverb effects which increased largely the quality of the tracks and expended the sonic possibilities for musicians and producers.

Today dub is considered a music genre rather than a variation or remix of reggae tracks.

While Lee “Scratch” Perry is the more famous pioneer of dub, King Tubby is considered the true father of dub music.

Augustus Pablo was also a very well known precursor of dub music. More recent and also very famous dub producers include Mad Professor, Asian Dub Foundation, Zion Train, Dub Division, Dub Pistols, Sly & Robbie and Long Beach Dub All Stars.

King Tubby, the father of dub, was a sound engineer who quickly got the reputation of an expert in the mixing art. He started making dub productions in his own home, through a sound system he built called Home Town Hi-Fi.

One of the most prolific results of dub was the possibility to originate several versions from one single. One could use the same “riddim” in dozens of variations, adding or taking effects, instruments and even real sounds of nature.

The end of the 90’s saw a rebirth of the dub scene with artists like Mad professor, Adrian Sherwood, Zion Train and Jah Warrior doing their tracks with a sense of tradition and at the same time a lot more freshness.

Today dub music is not only a recurrent aspect of dub tracks but it is used in a wide variety of dance music genres like drum n’ bass, jungle, trip hop, hip hop and dance music in general.
To produce good dub tracks you really got to have a sense of the spirit of dub music.

The Jamaican roots and philosophy of the dub sound are all over any cool track.

Knowing how to use the appropriate and modern technology isn’t enough to create great dub sound.

It’s necessary to find the right sounds. Future Loops’ Dub Drums by Zion Train sample pack is a great library which features impressive dub beats which you can use to really give a producer’s touch to your tracks.

If you’re looking for high quality dub beats check out this collection that offers unlimited usability and the opportunity to use loads of dub beats and produce authentic Jamaican dub pearls.

Drum n’ bass is a very popular electronic music style that emerged in the early 90’s.

It’s uses fast tempo broken beat drums (which often go up to 180 beats per minute) and heavy basslines.

There’s a huge range of styles which influenced drum n’ bass as a very particular style of urban dance music.

Breakbeat, techno, reggae/dub, hip hop, rave, jazz, are some of the stylistic origins of a genre of music that was born in London and Bristol , United Kingdom .

A list of classic drum n’ bass tracks would have to include: Ed Rush “Mothership”, Optical “To Shape the Future”, Roni Size “It’s a jazz thing” and “Share the fall”, 4Hero “Universal Love”, Goldie “Inner City Life”, Dj Hype “Roll the Beats”, Adam F “Circles”, Bad Company’s “The Nine” and many other beautiful tracks!

Drum n’ bass has a lot of sub-genres and variations which include: dubstep, hardstep, liquid funk, neurofunk, darkstep, techstep, drumfunk, breakcore, raggacore, jungle techno and some others.

Most of the variations and sub-genres of Drum n’ bass maintain the original bass and beat elements of the style but give it a different feeling by pushing the tempo up or down or by including voice elements (Mc’s) that perform in styles like reggae and hip-hop and also instruments like the saxophone, giving the tracks a more elegant jazzy touch.

Drum n’ bass tracks usually have samples from other sounds. Some very widely known examples of sampled tracks are: Afrika Bambaataa’s Planet Rock, Cypress Hill “I wanna get high”, Stevie Nicks “Edge of Seventeen”, Michael Jackson “I can’t help it”, A-ha “Take on me”, De La Soul “The game show”, Beastie Boys “The new style” .

Early pioneers of Drum n’ bass include Goldie, Andy C, Aphrodite, Dj Hype, Grooverider, Fabio, LTJ Bukem, Roni Size, Rebel Mc.

Drum n’ bass producers use a lot of appropriate software to make their beats and achieve their own style and unique sonority.

As technology evolves, it becomes more and more common to produce tracks in the comfort of our own home or computer. There are tons of software programs one could use to make tracks but the real deal is to use the best sounds possible and to shape them as we please.

Finding the right loops and drum and bass loops can be hard but there are sample libraries which include great drum and bass beats for the most experienced producer or the guy who wants to experiment at home.

Future Loops’ Nuclear Dn’B has the phattest drum and bass samples available to make groovy, powerful tracks that literally blow your headphones.

Let me ask you a question; How many Scotish Tartans do you think there are? You are either going to say ‘well theres a red one and a green one and probably a yellow one’ or maybe that there is an almost infinite number what with the potential variations of thread colours and patterns. Actually the Scottish Tartans Authority (the body who keep a public record of all known tartans) keep around 5,500 designs on their database, each one registered with a unique name, thread count and in many cases a woven sample. From this massive list around 600-700 are ‘commercially woven’ in other words Scottish weavers produce cloth in these tartans. Still thats a pretty long list, no wonder anyone gets confused when they are trying to decide what tartan to wear.

First of all tartans can be divided into different types: There are the ‘Clan and Family’ tartans which make up the majority of registered designs, next come the ‘District’ Tartans, then Universal, Regimental & Corporate Tartans and finally some odd categories such as ‘Royal, Clan Chief’s and Mourning’ Tartans. This at least begins to make things a little more manageable.

Most people when they are selecting a tartan to wear will begin with the Clan and Family Tartans.

Tartan Swatches

Clan & Family Tartans:
A Clan Tartan is one that is directly associated with a specific Scottish Clan such as Clan MacGregor or Clan Campbell - Family tartans are ones associated to large Scottish Family names such as Galbraith or Watson. Since both Clan and Family tartans have the same purpose (to identify by surname) its easier to class these together. If you have a fairly common Scottish Surname then you are pretty much home and dry - there will almost certainly be a tartan for you. Tartans have been directly associated with Scottish surnames since the early 19th century and new ones appear all the time. If your surname is not Scottish that’s still ok - just check along the line of decent on your Mothers side, if you can trace a Scottish name along that line then that will be ok too. (can we dispel a myth at this point; it is not ‘illegal’ to wear a tartan of another clan or family. My mother has always worn Lindsay tartan despite being a Robertson by birth - she wears it because she likes the colour so please don’t get to hung up on the legality)

If your ancestral search does not uncover any tartans then there are other routes you can take - Your next line of enquiry may be the ‘District’ tartans

District Tartans:
A district tartan as the name suggests is a tartan that represents a geographical region. This can be a town, county, state or even a country as they are not restricted to Scotland. As well as Scottish counties there are tartans from other parts of the UK such as Cornwall, Irish Counties and overseas districts in Canada and many US States - the choice here is huge. One of the most popular district tartans is the New York City tartan for example. Armed with this information if the area you live in or where your family came from has district tartan that could be your choice. As many district tartans are recent designs there are some lovely patterns out there.

Regimental Tartans
Most Scottish Regiments adopted one or more clan tartans - if you have a connection with a Scottish Regiment (or just want to show your support for one) then you could wear one of the many Regimantal Tartans - there are also specific Regimental tartans such as ‘Black Watch’ This is also what is known as a Universal Tartan and we can cover these next. There are also tartans relating to other regiments and armed forces such as the US Marines or US Navy.

Universal Tartans
A Universal Tartan is one that anyone can wear. The demand for tartan that can be worn by anyone has grown over the last few decades, The popularity of Scottish culture has fuelled this greatly and many new universal tartans are targetted towards the wedding market. Examples of Universal tartans are: Hunting Stewart, Black Watch, Caledonian, and Jacobite and more recent ones such Scottish National, Brave Heart Warrior, Flower of Scotland and Pride of Scotland.

Kilt Choices

Having finally chosen a tartan you can now look at the various options. In some cases there are a number of variants, for example ‘Hunting’ which are earthy colours or ‘Dress’ which normally have a White background. You will also see the phrases ‘Ancient (anc), Modern (mod) ‘Weathered’ etc. This refers to the colour reproduction. Synthetic dyes were introduced to weaving in the 19th Century, these colours were stronger and darker that the older vegetable dyes used by weavers, hence Modern is normally a stronger variant and Ancient colours are reproductions of the vegetable dye colours so are normally lighter and less saturated. Other variants such as ‘Weathered’ reproduce the effects of sun bleaching on cloth - weathered tartans have a wonderful organic feel to them, they are also attractive as they do look remarkably like some very old tartan fabric samples that have been discovered going back to the 1700s.

With luck you have now managed to narrow down your choice to a few tartans - the next step, order some swatches and you are well on the way to being properly kilted!

Kilt Facts

Many people would like to own a Golden Retriever, but have neither the time, inclination or patience to fight their way through the puppy stage. For people who fall into this category, help is at hand in the facility to adopt an older dog. As a breed, Golden Retrievers are renowned for their even temper, so they make excellent family pets. A mature dog has no growing up to do, so what you see is usually what you get. However, before adopting any dog, see if you can spend some time with the animal before you agree to take it on. This is especially important if there are children in your home.

Potty training a dog
Sometimes, breeders will offer older animals for sale. This could mean that the dog in question was a show dog for example, but have now outgrown that task. Or perhaps they were a breeding dog, and have retired. There could be any number of other reasons though, but whatever the reason, a breeder is always a good port of call for an older dog to adopt.

Dog Training Tips
Ask about the dog’s heath and find out if there are any issues that you should be made aware of. Vet’s bills are pretty expensive, so you need to know if there is going to be any additional costs before you take the dog home. If you get your dog from a reputable source such as a breeder or an adoption agency, they should be able to provide you with vet’s reports to ensure that the dog has a clean bill of health.

Training a dog to line
Older dogs will, in all likelihood, be housebroken, which is a massive advantage if you are not keen on dog training. The other side of the coin is of course that they may have been trained differently than you would have liked, but an older Golden Retriever will be nothing if not adaptable. Dogs are not too dissimilar to children, and will react favourably to love and attention. Just be patient as you would with any new member of the family, and everything will work out fine.,

When you meet your new dog for the first time, ask the current owners about the animal. Find out about it’s character and its likes and dislikes. Find out about its temperament and diet. Find out if the dog is used to a particular routine and try and accommodate the animal as much as possible. Some places will allow you to take the dog for a walk, and that would be a great time to get to know the animal properly.

Once you take on an older Golden Retriever, give the dog some time to find its way about your home, and let them know where everything is. What will be of special interest will be the sleeping arrangements, and other daily points of interest. Give it time to get to know where everything is and, once again, be patient.

Any dog craves attention, and Golden Retrievers are no exception. Make a fuss of them from the start and you should have a very happy and contented pet for many years. Exercise them regularly (as you would with any dog of course) but play with them whilst you are doing it.

A properly trained dog can be a joy for each owner, and training a new puppy properly is possible because of the dog training equipment available from different sources. There is dog training equipment for basic training, and other dog training equipment is available for more sophisticated training. The dog training equipment includes collars that can train a dog for different purposes. There are some great dog training collars that will remind a dog not to bark incessantly or at the wrong times. Neighbors can become very hostile toward a dog that barks at all times of the day and night. Designers have made collars that will stop inappropriate barking.

There are other collars that are available to train dogs not to stray from certain spaces. No one wants to look for a dog that has decided to explore the neighborhood. Many dogs get hit by cars because they got out of the yard without supervision. There are great collars designed to keep dogs in the proper spaces. Owners who want their dogs to have more advanced skills will also find dog collars that can help. There are special collars designed to help those interested in dog agility training. These collars help the dog handlers move their dogs through the obstacles courses in the events of this type.

Dog Training Equipment Produces Advanced Skills

Most dog owners want a pet that will not make a mess inside the home, but other owners want a dog with advanced skills. Hunting dogs are often valued by their owners because they can accompany them on an excursion to assist them in hunting. These dogs will be able to point out the birds or other animals that the hunter is looking for on the trip. These dogs also are trained to retrieve the game for the hunter. There are very sophisticated collars that have been developed to train these dogs without dog health problems.

The dog training equipment used to train hunting dogs is designed so the dogs can be trained at a distance. This means that the dogs can run into the forest or other area to find the quarry far away from the hunter. Some of this dog training equipment can be used for dog exercising that is more than five hundred yards away from the trainer. Some of this dog training equipment can be used to train more than one dog at a time. These fantastic devices can save a trainer a great deal of time and energy.

Typing your movie title into Google with the words “watch free online” is probably the quickest and easiest, and you will instantly be spoiled for choice. The majority of the links will take you to various sites that host flash player movies, where you click on the link and the movie will open in a simple flash player for you to stream online.However, I must heavily stress that this is absolutely illegal, not to mention the quality is seriously inferior, pixelated, and the sound is often muffled.Another way that’s possible, but not one I recommended due to its legal issues, is using a P2P program like Limewire or Kazaa. You install the software, search for the movie in the software interface, and pick from a list of files that are generated from the search. Again, it’s highly illegal and is effectively piracy, not to mention the risk you put your computer’s health at. A lot of P2P programs don’t offer protection against viruses that sneak through as you download the file(s), and before you know it your computer is inundated with spy ware, bugs, viruses, Trojan files, and many more horrible nasties that slow your computer over time, and will eventually destroy it.The only legitimate way to watch free movies online is to become a member of a movie download site. You get an actual service, just like a DVD rental store, because it’s legal, the movies are paid for, aren’t pirated, and are fantastic quality. Usually they operate on a one-off payment scheme, where you pay on signing up, and from that moment on you can get unlimited movies. With an option to either download or stream, it’s all at your convenience.
