Rocksmith to revolutionise karaoke parties for budding rock stars, say allfancydress.com

In the next stage in evolution of guitar games such as Guitar Hero™, Rocksmith is expected to take the world by storm with its combination of authentic guitar techniques and killer soundtracks making it an ideal way for budding rock stars to strut their stuff, replacing the karaoke microphone for a Rickenbacker.

While karaoke parties are still incredibly popular to host with friends and family, this new generation of musical entertainment is expected to sweep the nation, with an appeal to newbies and experts alike, says Mark Heaton, of allfancydress.com.

“Whether it’s a fun-filled birthday, a long-awaited hen night or an impromptu night in with friends, for years karaoke has filled the void for wannabee pop stars across the world,” he said.

“But for those who have always wanted to be in a band, Rocksmith is a great way for friends to get together and rock out to their favourite hits.

“Whether it’s a riff from the Rolling Stones or a high note by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the ability to practice songs and play venues gives people a real sense of achievement in a way karaoke has never managed to grasp.”

A number of leading guitarists were invited to Gibson Guitar Studio in London to trial Rocksmith and ascertain whether it could really develop guitar playing technique. The general consensus was encouraging, with many believing the game to be a genuinely innovative way of introducing people into guitar music.

The UK’s leading online fancy dress retailer, All Fancy Dress has a number of novelty rock star outfits that would be the ideal accompaniment to any Rocksmith party with friends, with costumes modelled on greats such as Freddie Mercury, Bon Jovi and Alice Cooper.

Rocksmith is now available to buy across Europe following its release on September 28th and is available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

Jupiter, Florida, USA – October 15, 2012 — Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery (LST) is very proud to announce that fine art photographer Michael Schertz is now the gallery’s featured artist and he will be presented in the Light Space & Time’s Artist Showcase for the next 30 days.

Since Michael’s initial entry into the 2011 Abstracts Art Competition he has entered into several different LST art competitions. As indicative of Michael’s photographic skill and talent, he has placed in every LST competition that he has entered. Most recently, Michael received an Honorable Mention award for his photograph titled “Griz Up Close” in the Gallery’s 2012 Animals Art Competition. He also received a 3rd Place award his “Spray Park Trail” image in the Gallery’s All Photography Art Competition which was conducted in September 2011.

Michael states that, “Our dynamic earth’s natural places are in constant state of change. The images reflected here are merely semblances of what will be in the decades to come. A capture of just a moment in the journey that provided me with inspiration and I hope it fosters it in you as well. It is my aspiration and goal to create Fine Art Photography images. A Fine Art Photograph is a culmination of inspired artistry and my technical proficiency. The integration of technical and artistry provides the viewer with a memorable experience. The lack of either component can leave the viewer missing the vision and intent of the image.”

It is Michael’s passion to view and record the dynamic and amazing natural world as he tries to capture the moment and share with others the light and magic that he sees and experiences on his adventures. He lives in Eatonville, Washington and he has been a life-long explorer of wild places and for the last 6 years, been photographing and recording his experiences and travels.

Bill Ringle Interviews Chris Zane on My Quest for Best

Bill Ringle, America’s Business Growth Strategist, talked with Chris Zane, author, bicycle retailer, and entrepreneur, on My Quest for the Best about business success through responsibility and customer service.

Philadelphia, PA, October 15, 2012 – Business growth strategist Bill Ringle interviewed Chris Zane, author, bicycle retailer, and award-winning entrepreneur, for My Quest for the Best. In this interview series, Ringle speaks with successful industry experts and outstanding business leaders about their strategies for reaching and influencing significant target audiences, innovative business leadership, breakthrough moments in their career, and the important business and life lessons they’ve gained along the way.

Chris Zane is a veteran of the retail bicycle industry who bought his first bike shop at age 16 and built Zane’s Cycles into largest bicycle shop in Connecticut by the age of 30. Today, Zane’s Cycles is one of the largest retail bicycle stores in the nation. He has positioned himself at the forefront of the industry by continuously setting standards in customer loyalty and creative marketing. Chris is a sought-after speaker and the author of Reinventing the Wheel: The Science of Creating Lifetime Customers. His cutting-edge marketing techniques have been used as case studies in more than a dozen college textbooks worldwide. Since 1985, Chris has been accumulating awards and accolades such as the Better Business Bureau’s “Award of Recognition for Customer Service and Outstanding Business Practices,” Fast Company magazine’s “Customer First Award,” and North American Bicyclist magazine’s “North America’s Best Bicy cle Retailer” Award.

Zane’s conversation with Bill Ringle on My Quest for the Best offered a window into that award-winning business philosophy. Zane discussed the impact that taking full responsibility has on the culture of Zane’s Cycles, including why free lifetime service is included with every bicycle they sell. He also shared some of the factors his company uses to successfully differentiate from competitors, how the “magic number” helps his team members remember to treat customers with great care and respect, and how adopting his commitment to being in the customer service business – not the bike business – can benefit your company, too.

“Chris has achieved uncommon success as an entrepreneur during one of the toughest economic periods in history through his commitment to create great experiences for his customers, his method of empowering his staff to make significant decisions that reflect the values of his company, and his insights into effective marketing and management,” notes Bill Ringle. “Once you understand how Chris thinks about the drivers in his business and industry, you can combine that thinking with your own ideas in order to steer your business into the fast lane for greater customer loyalty and higher profits.”

Bill Ringle, America’s Business Growth Strategist, is founder of the Rapid Rise Business Growth SystemTM, the proven step-by-step system that shows you exactly how to connect and do business with your ideal customers in record time.
