extension of the file

26 03 2009

My friend as me of what is File extension RAM, I told him the File Extension RAM stands for Real Media Metafile. And these files are used by Real Media players as shortcuts to other Real Media files that actually contain compressed audio and video data. Afterwards, he also asks what is the used of the real media player. I told him that real media player used to be very popular in the early days of the Internet because it is for streaming video and audio over modem connections because it provides superior compression.

File Extension RAM is used by RealPlayer to play offline or online audio files. This file extension can be open on various platforms including PC, Mac, and Linux. Most files can be seen with .ra extension which is associated with it. Some websites require the installation of RealPlayer Plug-in before it can properly open some contents of the pages. Most of these websites are internet radios that transmit real time broadcast using RealPlayer. These contents are links with RAM file extension that streams audio files allowing a user to play the file while it is downloading.

In addition, the RealNetworks developed the .ram file extension in order to access remote online streams for RealAudio or RealMedia. RealPlayer has create this proprietary audio file to establish real-time playing of music from web sites. The file extension .ram uses a URL signal to locate the music files containing the .ra or .rm file extensions. While some internet radio sites might require a RealPlayer plug0in, others offer readily available access without this extra device.





how to stop smoking

20 03 2009
Get Help From Others – You need help from others to quit smoking. Face it, you didn’t wake up one morning and say to yourself “today I’ll start smoking”. Most people start smoking because of peer pressure, a chance to fit in, they see their parents smoking or any number of other reasons. Smoking is a social activity, and so is quitting.Pick A Quit Date And Stick To It – Decide on a quit day in advance and try to cut down gradually. Make your quit date easy on yourself and others. Pick a Friday so that you have two days home where to lock yourself in and flush the toxins out in private. During this time drink lots of water.

Set a quit date. Smoking cessation is most successful when it’s done “cold turkey,” not by slowly reducing the number of cigarettes smoked daily.
Throw them out. Throw away all cigarettes and matches at home, in your car, and at work. Put away, or throw away, ashtrays and lighters.
Share your goal. Tell your family and friends you’re quitting and ask for their support.
Avoid triggers. Avoid alcohol, coffee, and other triggers for smoking.
Set a no-smoking policy. Do not allow anyone to smoke in your home or car, and avoid other people when they are smoking.
Get tools. Take advantage of available stop-smoking aids, including nicotine replacements, drug therapy, and counseling. Less than one in 10 smokers is able to quit without some help. Nicotine gums, skin patches, and lozenges are available over the counter. Nicotine nasal sprays and inhalers require a prescription from your doctor. Don’t smoke when using these products.I hope this could help those people who want’s to stop smoking, not just for my friend but for those who are in addiction of smoking cigarettes





We the kings

12 03 2009

281x211We the Kings are an unapologetically commercial pop-punk band from Bradenton, FL, a small town on the west coast of the state notable primarily for being the home of Tropicana orange juice. Friends since childhood (the band name refers to the name of their junior high mascot), the foursome — singer and guitarist Travis Clark, guitarist Hunter Thomsen, his bassist brother Drew Thomsen, and drummer Danny Duncan — formed the band while still attending high school. In 2007, under the guidance of manager Bret Disend, the still-teenage quartet placed a number of tracks on the social-networking site Purevolume to build their online buzz as an unsigned band while pursuing a deal with EMI’s revived faux-indie imprint S-Curve Records (Joss Stone, Fountains of Wayne, the Baha Men). Their self-titled debut album was produced by Sam Hollander and mixed by Lou Giordano, who had each done the same for then-current chart favorites Gym Class Heroes and the Plain White T’s, respectively.-AMG.
