When you hear a catchy new song it's hard not to tell your friends about it. The opposite is also true: it's nearly impossible to discuss a song when you haven't heard it first. Yet there are plenty of blogs and Web sites where music is discussed under the assumption that other bloggers know how a song album or artist sounds. This week. I dived into the music blogging world of a Web site where enthusiasts can read blog and communicate with one another. Starting today this site will combine with Rhapsody the subscription-based music service so that MOG users or MOGGERS can simultaneously blog about and listen to millions of songs that fuel their online discussions. MOG Inc prides itself on working as a destination for people who wish to discuss music tastes and opinions like TripAdvisor com works for travelers. MOG's first public beta or test version came out about a year and a half ago. Its use of a subscription copy comes at a time when CD profits are lagging and larger social-networking sites are negotiating with record labels to combine music streaming. Plenty of people comfort prefer purchasing music a la Apple Inc.'s iTunes Store where there aren't restrictions due to streaming or subscriptions. Along with built-in Rhapsody this newly enhanced version of MOG includes other improvements such as a better search engine and a speedy drive that generates personal profiles for each MOG user according to his or her musical tastes. I was granted early access to MOG's revamped site and was most impressed by its fast examine drive which works just like the Spotlight search in Apple's operating system. Results are narrowed with each typed letter and returned in neatly divided categories. Best of all music results came approve as abstain as if they were on my hard drive instead of various MOG pages and Rhapsody's database. MOG also does a good job of marrying its contents with Rhapsody in a way that isn't overly obvious; tiny Play icons beside song titles can be selected to go away hearing a adjust through the Rhapsody player which hums along in the background and similar icons add songs to playlists in one step. But for a site that prides itself on appealing to music enthusiasts. I found certain genres much more represented than others. The rock music category for example had plenty of related posts and coinciding Rhapsody music but the classical music divide was almost nonexistent and country tunes were poorly represented. I typed "Bach" into the search box expecting to be flooded with results but saw no music and only one affix by a MOG user about why she thought Bach was a great composer. The company says it will fix this in the next couple of months. Unlimited Rhapsody access costs $13 monthly and is offered free for the first 14 days. But like all subscription models it blocks find to music if you don't pay this monthly fee. MOGGERS who don't be to pay or don't plan on using Rhapsody as much can choose from two free options: one that allows users to listen to 25 songs a month and another that only allows free 30-second clips of song. MOGGERS can upload their own MP3s within blog posts on the place. But linking to Rhapsody songs was easier and faster. I got started by clicking a giant "Magic Button" icon on the MOG site. This installed MOG-O-MATIC a drive that automatically searched my computer's hard drive for all of my music files then indexed them and created a compose of my music taste on a personalized My MOG page. This tool was also available in the first version of MOG but is 10 times as abstain now indexing 10,000 songs an hour compared with 1,000 songs previously. I liked that MOG-O-MATIC did some page-creation bring home the bacon for me making a list of the songs I listened to most recently -- regardless of what schedule I used to listen to the song (iTunes. Windows Media Player or Rhapsody). Another list that was automatically generated from my music showed which artist was best represented in my collection. If you don't be the world to experience about your Barry Manilow obsession this list can be altered to fudge the truth. Because MOG-O-MATIC scans your entire music collection it knows what music you like. A Recommendations summon shows you what other MOGGERS with similar tastes are listening to helping you discover new tunes. I found these suggestions to be pretty accurate and even discovered a great song on another MOGGER's recommended playlist called "Summer Teeth" by Wilco. I checked out the page belonging to the MOGGER who created this playlist and found other tunes that were in line with my musical taste. Using Rhapsody. I played entire Web pages of recommended songs with one click. Likewise entire music collections belonging to other people can be played the same way as long as you have the right Rhapsody account to play that many songs. I wrote a blog post on MOG about the newest album from "Fountains of Wayne," and it automatically included a compete button icon enabling the song I wrote about to play along with my post. This auto-linking is done with fill-in-the-blank boxes that tag each post with music. MOG isn't trying to be a social-networking site that enables all things. Instead it focuses on one thing music and successfully improves the way people discuss share and discover music online.

"If Israel can ignore the IAEA, why should anyone else listen?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-25 19:14:57

One can only hope that this takes displace that the long-running grievances of Arab and other countriesare finally given their just due. With accusations relating to weapons of crowd destruction having been a large part of the US pretext for invading Iraq and Iran now facing heavy compel over similar claims the double standard involving the Jewish state ­ which has steadfastly refused to write the nuclear (NPT) ­ has change state too obvious to ignore any longer. If the presumed violations of some countries are to be “punished” pre-emptively while those of others go unchecked there is little point in cooperating with the co-opted organization that enforces its own regulations according to Washington’s whim None of this has deterred the Israelis though from speaking out against the alleged ambitions of others. In fact. Israel has been at the forefront of countries demanding that the IAEA get tough with Iran. The Israelis are not at all embarrassed that Tehran is a signatory to the NPT and they are not; nor does it bother them that no one thinks the Islamic Republic has nuclear weapons while the Jewish state is estimated by experts to feature something in the request of 200-300 warheads not to have in mind a variety of air- land- and sea-based delivery systems. The unbridled hypocrisy of Israeli policy and rhetoric on this issue constitutes a study test for the IAEA and indeed for two cornerstones of modern diplomacy: arms control and collective security. If the presumed violations of some countries are to be “punished” pre-emptively while those of others go unchecked there is little inform in cooperating with the co-opted organization that enforces its own regulations according to Washington’s whim. Israeli impunity relies on America for its sustenance and the nuclear challenge is a case in point: US law is very clear in banning foreign aid to countries that either do not sign or fail to obey the NPT but somehow more than $3 billion in illegal funds gets from Washington to Israel every year with nary a word of protest on Capitol forge. If America is unwilling to obey with its own laws when these do not suit Israel’s purposes why should anyone trust it to initiate an accurate accounting of international security arrangements? And if the IAEA is unwilling to assert its independence in the face of pressure from Washington why should any of its members bother to help keep the pretense that signed agreements mean anything at all? The continue of the UN’s nuclear agency today warned against any increase in “hype” about war with Iran saying countries should heed the lessons of the build-up to the Iraq contrast. The strongly worded comments by Mohamed ElBaradei who runs the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) followed a warning by the cut foreign attend that the world should brace itself for a possible war with Iran. The French foreign minister has said the world needs to prepare for the possibility of war against Iran over its nuclear program. Bernard Kouchner said in an interview air on French television and communicate: “We undergo to prepare for the worst and the worst is war.” The lies they act to express us… from as long ago as WWII. collect experience. Korea. Vietnam. Iraq. 9/11 and now this! Wouldn’t you evaluate that we would have learned by now that our government is no better than Russia in lying to its citizens and covering the truth? With a name desire that. I’m sure you’re a proud uninformed hateful person. This is the equivalent of someone using Hitler as a screen label! Anyway. I also responded to your ridiculous response. Nah it was just a name that I liked because I had never heard it before. BTW it has a different spelling from Attila the Hun which is the person I am assuming you are comparing me to. Anyway. I undergo likewise countered your ridiculous arguments on my site.
