This means you are going to have to appear as professional and convincing as possible. You are going to have to come prepared with all the gear you need to successfully market yourself so you can book gigs and get paid. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> First impressions are the most important thing in this biz. If you want to book gigs then you need to bring the following things with you to a meeting: a resume, a demo, a business card (with a link to your site), a poster or flyer, price and a confidant attitude. And most importantly, dress for success. You don't have to wear a tux, just look presentable. You might even want to bring your instruments in case they want a short live audition, you never know. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> Hopefully you will get the gig and it will end right there but you may not get hired right away. If this is you then you need to have a little persistence. Stop in every week or so and see if they have anything for you. Ask them if anyone has canceled and if there is a spot that needs to be filled. But beware, there is a fine line between persistence and stalking so be careful you are not doing the latter. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> There are other places to play besides bars and clubs. Get creative! What about coffee shops, music stores, high school dances, book stores, restaurants, parks, festivals, fairs, or private parties? The same rules apply when meeting with the people that are related to these events and places. If you can't find gigs at these places, ask them to refer you to someplace you can book gigs. If you present yourself professionally then they will respect you, even if they don't have a spot for you. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> One thing you can try to do is convince the owners or whoever you are meeting with that you can draw a crowd. Don't promise this if you can't make it happen. And if you promise this, then you need to make it happen. I am sure you have friends, family, acquaintances and co-workers that you can convince to come see you. It is even better if you have a solid group of fans going that will show up as well. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> All of these tips will help you get gigs. Market yourself because no one else is going to do it. Remember, you can be your best asset or your worst enemy. Don't go to a meeting unprepared and don't stalk the people you have meeting with. If you want to get gigs then presenting yourself as a professional, top quality musician the eventually people will be knocking at your door for a change. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"> <span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Author Bio</strong><br />The former owner of an independent record label, current owner of Platinum Millennium publishing & national music industry seminar speaker/panelist.

Some of the most important things to consider when <a href="http://onlineshopster.blogspot.com/">shopping </a>for an MP3 player are how you personally wish to use the player, its weight/size, and storage capacity.</span></p><p class="zemanta-img zemanta-action-dragged" style="margin: 1em; float: right; display: block; width: 310px;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ipod_nano_g3_003.jpg"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1f/Ipod_nano_g3_003.jpg/300px-Ipod_nano_g3_003.jpg" alt="Apple iPod nano (third-generation)" style="border: medium none ; display: block;" height="200" width="300" /></a><span class="zemanta-img-attribution">Image via <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ipod_nano_g3_003.jpg">Wikipedia</a></span></p><span style="font-family:arial;"> In addition, you will need to <a href="http://amusdisc.blogspot.com/">become somewhat knowledgeable</a> about file formats and compatibility with your PC. </span><br /><br /><b style="font-family: arial;">First, think about the type of device you really want.</b> <br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> Hard drive-based MP3 player: </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> These offer the most storage; from 10 GB and higher (up to 80GB) allowing you to put huge amounts of music on one device. They also have larger display screens and are easy to use. For these reasons, they are an excellent choice for use when commuting in your car. A hard drive-based MP3 player is larger and heavier however. They have movable parts which can be jarred during motion which makes them a poor choice for use during fitness activities. A hard drive-based MP3 player usually has rechargeable batteries which can be a cost saver but many are not removable and must be replaced after 4 or 5 years. There are also some "micro" hard drive-based players with a capacity that tops out around 12GB. Although smaller/lighter than a regular hard drive-based player their moving parts still make them a poor choice for activity. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> Flash-based MP3 players: </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> A flash-based MP3 player is an excellent choice for use during exercise/activity. They have no moving parts, are extremely compact, and have a 32 MB-8GB capacity. Due to the lack of moving parts their batteries tend to last longer. With all of this convenience however they actually have a much higher per megabyte cost than the hard drive devices. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> MP3 CD Players: </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> These devices can play standard CDs and can store up to 650 MB. They are the least expensive MP3 Player but they are large and can skip when moved thus are not a good choice for use during activity.</span><br /><br /><br /><b style="font-family: arial;">Once you have determined which type of MP3 player is best suited to you based on how you wish to use it and how much storage is desire, you will want to consider issues related to downloading music.</b><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> What format is used? </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> MP3 is the most common but some of the others include .aac, .wma, .wav, and atrac. These are all formats used to compress music files so that they can be downloaded quickly and take up less memory. WMA formats for instance, allow the user to store nearly twice as much per megabyte but are a less common file type that MP3. This is important to consider since any particular file type can not be used if your MP3 player does not support it.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> Connecting to your computer and downloading: </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> If you want to download music from your PC a USB 2.0 standard interface is much faster than USB 1.0. A FireWire Port or FireWire PCI card is also fast but only supported on some computers.</span><br /><br /><br /><b style="font-family: arial;">Finally, be sure to check for other features such as the following:</b><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> The display: </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> Can you read it? This is important as it allows you to use the functions on the device and <a href="http://amusdisc.blogspot.com/">provides information</a> you want such as the title, artist and other playlist information. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> Other functions and features:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> FM radio reception, a remote, a clip to attach to your bag or possibly an armband if you're active, the ability to record music live or from stereo components, voice recording, or advanced playback features. Some flash MP3 players offer a stopwatch function or other fitness related features. Newer MP3 players now offer color screens, photo viewing, and video playback for those who want all the bells and whistles.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> There are a large number of MP3 player products on the market, finding the right one requires buyers to carefully consider which functions and features are most desirable for them. Using a simple buying guide can get a shopper <a href="http://blogfinale.blogspot.com/">thinking in the right direction</a> and simplify the selection process. </span><p></p><p> </p> <p style="font-style: italic;"> <span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Author Bio: </strong> The author, Christine Peppler, invites readers to visit homemedias.info for more information about using or buying an <a target="_blank" href="http://www.homemedias.info/shophomeelectronics.htm">MP3 player</a>. </span></p><fieldset class="zemanta-related"><legend class="zemanta-related-title">Related articles</legend><ul class="zemanta-article-ul"><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.inquisitr.com/36112/medion-s47000-pocket-camcorder-is-shock-and-splash-resistant/">Medion S47000 Pocket Camcorder Is Shock and Splash Resistant</a> (inquisitr.com)</li><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.crunchgear.com/2009/08/25/sony-revolutionizes-portable-music-players-by-adding-external-speakers/">Sony revolutionizes portable music players by adding external speakers</a> (crunchgear.com)</li><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.inquisitr.com/35995/epson-eh-dm3-karaoke-projector-arrives-in-november/">Epson EH-DM3 Karaoke Projector Arrives In November</a> (inquisitr.com)</li><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2009/05/ixing_digital_audio_player.html">iXing Digital Audio Player</a> (ubergizmo.com)</li><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2009/06/transcend_mp320r_in_pink.html">Transcend MP320R In Pink</a> (ubergizmo.com)</li><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2009/08/sony_s540_walkman_released.html">Sony S540 Walkman released</a> (ubergizmo.com)</li><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2009/05/podio_mp3_player_speaker.html">Podio MP3 Player Speaker</a> (ubergizmo.com)</li></ul></fieldset><span style="font-weight: bold;

font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Music and art are two methods of <a href="http://amusdisc,blogspot.com/">communicating</a> that need no translation. Music can evoke the same emotions anywhere in the world, no matter what the language. It is, quite literally, a universal language. Art is, as well, an image can depict the same thing no matter which language you speak.The unique ability of these two creative outlets to cross borders and appeal to all walks of life, as well as cultures, means that it is ideal for uniting nations.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Music Bands: Bridging the Gap</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:100%;">There was a time when all music bands tended to stay in their home country, particularly those who were non-American. The impact of smaller, more alternative bands being able to present their music to the world has been huge! Suddenly, anyone can buy a cd of music from India, Russia, or Japan, without having to even travel to the country and <a href="http://blogfinale,blogspot.com/">spend much money</a>.</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:100%;">When music bands first began to cross borders, they usually did so with countries</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3i6vRIA6KfEfTyv_VNy90BbuPFT2-vrkJyjaCuMQYSIjD4J46TrIHNwf3OvX6skJ2q4oj9C5qmYD3CHuYYlRBzdXski79zP-XhvJlhwiJXw3__w-FDD003pX4MyEK_PYx0PRqs8QXXHc/s1600-h/May08+Seeing+Music+PR.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 191px; height: 234px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3i6vRIA6KfEfTyv_VNy90BbuPFT2-vrkJyjaCuMQYSIjD4J46TrIHNwf3OvX6skJ2q4oj9C5qmYD3CHuYYlRBzdXski79zP-XhvJlhwiJXw3__w-FDD003pX4MyEK_PYx0PRqs8QXXHc/s320/May08+Seeing+Music+PR.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370791049046672770" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:100%;"> similar to their own. A West German band might play in East Germany, for example, or a Canadian band would do a tour in the US or England and vice versa. While still sharing, it was limit</span><span style="font-size:100%;">ed. Then came the international tours, where one band would perform in dozens of countries around the world and the music created a link between them all.</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Now, you`ll find that singers, musicians and entire music bands are able to perform in nearly any country, no matter their origin. It`s a huge leap forward for a world that was once so full of racism , sexual discrimination, and fear of other cultures. Now, cultures can <a href="http://yourfriendsremark,blogspot.com/">share between themselves</a> and are the richer for it. Cds, mp3s and other forms of music have spread this <a href="http://yourfriendsremark,blogspot.com/">multicultural message</a> around the world and people are discovering entirely new genres of music that they never even knew existed, yet hold a powerful message anyway.</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Borders are inconsequential when it comes to music. The <a href="http://onlineshopster,blogspot.com/">internet</a> has basically created a potential link between every single country in the world, but with language barriers, there are still issues to be faced when <a href="http://amusdisc,blogspot.com/">sharing information</a>. That`s why music and anything artistic is so important. Watching a video on YouTube that is set to music, rather than words, conveys the same message to anyone who watches it, no matter where they might live or what language is their mother tongue. Music and art can reach everyone.</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Art: Combining with Music</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Artistic endeavors such as drawing, painting, sculpting and animation have always been methods of communicating between two people who had no language in common. Museums have known this for a long time and frequently present foreign art in their shows, creating interesting attractions and exposing entire countries to new talent and cultures.</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:100%;">However, while art and music are wonderful on their own, there`s nothing as powerful as the two combined. We`ve seen it time and time again, where art is set to music to create something that is so much more than either of the two parts.<br /></span></p><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:100%;">In many cases, the music is what inspired the visual art. Many sculptors listen to music as they work, allowing the creativity of the compositions flow through them and into their sculpture. The same goes for painters, who often have a favorite music band that they listen to when working on a painting. It`s a powerful medium to work with and just listening to it can help artists create more incredible works of art.</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Then again, sometimes music and art simply flow together to tell a story, a tale that the world can enjoy without having to understand English, or French, or Russian, because music truly is a universal language and when combined with visual art, it provides a method of c<a href="http://amusdisc.blogspot.com./">onveying your message</a>, whatever it is, to the masses.</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:100%;">How We Use Music and Art</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:100%;">A huge number of people who use the internet use it to view videos. That means the potential for creating a video that is pure art and music and having it seen around the world is huge. People love the combination and when there is no language barrier, that means the video will often be sent to friends and family around the globe, turning it into a viral message that passes over borders without fail.</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:100%;">While the <a href="http://onlineshopster.blogspot.com/">internet</a> has made it very possible to share visual art and music with anyone, there are more mainstream methods, as well. Children`s choirs, for example, are one way that we have enjoyed musical art from other countries. It`s not uncommon for concerts and music videos from many countries to be played on one television channel. Even museums usually incorporate some form of background music into their cultural displays, making them that much more powerful. It`s impossible not to feel something as you gaze at Genghis Khan`s armor in a museum display and hear the same sort of music that he would have heard, or view a Hindu funeral pyre while listening to Indian music. It evokes an emotional response that makes what we are looking at that much more important and real to us.</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:100%;">This isn`t just true of things in a museum. You will find that emotional responses can be garnered even from more abstract images and music. It`s the combination that works to create a new feeling, to pass something from the creator of the piece to the listening viewer.</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Whether mainstream or independent, music and visual art have spanned the globe and reached millions of people, bringing nations together under a love of all that is musical and artistic. It`s been a way to blend cultures and expose people to new ones and the combination of music and art has turned our world into a place that is much smaller and much <a href="http://yourfriendsremark,blogspot.com/">friendlier than ever</a> before in history.</span></p> <p style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Author: Anatoly Podkopov, Ylotana Project @ www.ylotana.com</span></p></div> <fieldset class="zemanta-related"><legend class="zemanta-related-title">Related articles</legend><ul class="zemanta-article-ul"><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://passionforcinema.com/julie-julia/">Julie & Julia</a> (passionforcinema.com)</li><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://socialitelife.celebuzz.com/archive/2009/08/09/taylor_lautner_-_2009_teen_choice_awards.php">Taylor Lautner - 2009 Teen Choice Awards</a> (socialitelife.celebuzz.com)</li><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://joyofsox.blogspot.com/2009/08/g110-red-sox-at-yankees-8-pm.html">G110: Red Sox at Yankees, 8 PM</a> (joyofsox.blogspot.com)</li><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.crunchgear.com/2009/05/08/review-ipevo-kaleido-r7-digital-frame/">Review: Ipevo Kaleido R7 digital frame</a> (crunchgear.com)</li><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://gawker.com/5336713/martha-stewarts-twitter-is-a-catalog-of-death-and-mayhem">Martha Stewart's Twitter Is a Catalog of Death and Mayhem</a> (gawker.com)</li><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://filipinastudes.blogspot.com">Pinay Connection</a> (filipinastudes.blogspot.com<br /></li></ul></fieldset> <div style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;" class="zemanta-pixie"><a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/4c88a964-32e7-44fd-bd24-43982c6e1b25/" title="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]"><img style="border: medium none ; float: right;" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=4c88a964-32e7-44fd-bd24-43982c6e1b25" alt="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]" /></a><span class="zem-script more-related pretty-attribution"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.zemanta.com/readside/loader.js" defer="defer"></script></span></div><img src="data:image/png;base64,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" style="border: medium none ; margin: 0px; position: absolute; visibility: visible; color: transparent; z-index: 2147483647; left: 179px; top: 1731px;" id="kosa-target-image" />Giovshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08618764204918987843noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6868416302008482816.post-89389222984024461632009-07-22T04:22:00.000-07:002009-07-22T04:32:19.712-07:00Fun and Happiness Bring Good Fortune<div style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;" class="post-body entry-content"> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwoexZYG0iNh8A0D277XjROH50XZXDlbghDFwbaBECoW6u6-LmM3k5f2iUlOEdW0_mAqTPR3nfgtx67Yz1O6QbMbSPyLH3LpBqwcaBw37092g734PBgJy5lmGzVucUR7ysNw1Hu2j6Tak/s1600-h/travel.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 402px; height: 269px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwoexZYG0iNh8A0D277XjROH50XZXDlbghDFwbaBECoW6u6-LmM3k5f2iUlOEdW0_mAqTPR3nfgtx67Yz1O6QbMbSPyLH3LpBqwcaBw37092g734PBgJy5lmGzVucUR7ysNw1Hu2j6Tak/s320/travel.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253698931778652386" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size: 100%;">“Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.” For many people, the words “fun” and “fortune” don’t go together naturally. It’s a shame the magical causal connection between play and prosperity is not fully appreciated. The truth is, having fun naturally leads to good fortune. Good fortune means happiness, health, abundance and opportunity. When we’re having fun—feeling good—we naturally attract other people to us. Call it charisma, personal power, or the Law of Attraction. It’s the physics of fun.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 100%;">By the way, where did we get the idea that life is serious? Seriousness is highly overrated in the Western culture. We’re taught that you have to be serious to be heard, get things done right, and survive in this precarious, tough world. In fact, the opposite is true. The lighter we touch the limited world of <a href="http://amusdisc.blogspot.com">mass consciousness</a>, the more we’re able to create whatever we choose. The freer we are of our past, our restrictive programming, and our rigid patterns, the easier it is to thrive on this planet. And to enjoy the ride!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 100%;">What do people want most in the world? What is the most sought-after goal? From the moment we awaken to the moment we close our eyes at night, what is it we seek every minute of the day? We want to feel good. Everyone wants the same thing—to be happy, to feel good. That’s why we go to parties, concerts and movies. That’s why we seek out <a href="http://yourfriendsremark.blogspot.com">friends and partnerships</a>. The primary motivation behind every action we take is the desire to feel happy. Even when we’re focused on moving away from pain, we are, in effect, moving toward feeling good—physically, emotionally and spiritually. By awakening our good feelings, we attract the people, <a href="http://blogfinale.blogspot.com">money and opportunities</a> that help us get our heart’s desires—good fortune.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 100%;">Contrary to the opinion of many folks, it’s OK to want to have fun in everything you do in life. It’s not selfish, insensitive or self-centered. Wanting life to be fun is natural, normal and healthy—and profitable! Studies show as <a href="http://blogfinale.blogspot.com">business people</a> know: the public buys from the salespeople they feel good around. Beyond price and benefits, people want to feel good. It’s not the product they want—it’s the good feeling they’re getting from the salesperson associated with the product or service. So, if you’re authentically feeling good, people want what you exude. They want to be around you, be associated with you, be helpful to you—and buy from you. When you feel good, you naturally begin to feel loving toward others and yourself. You naturally begin to take better care of your environment and your body. You’re more able and willing to help others feel good and get what they want in life. You win. The world wins. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 100%;">Every aspect of life goes better with fun. Fun can lubricate even the most tedious chore. And fun can infuse even the most serious of situations with the lightness of delight. Of course life situations confront us daily where we need to be focused and strong. But enjoying each moment does not diminish our ability to be decisive and efficient. In fact, a flexible, light-hearted approach usually helps us be more resourceful and effective. A spirit of playfulness spawns creativity and success.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 100%;">You have to have something in order to give something. You have to possess the qualities you value in order to share them with others. If you’re not willing to give yourself happiness, how can you help others find happiness? Create the attitude and conditions that make fun more likely to occur in your daily affairs. Invite surprise. Welcome serendipity. Cultivate spontaneity. Be open to unexpected sources of income, <a href="http://onlineshopster.blogspot.com">resources</a> and support—especially those that don’t “make sense” to the intellect with its limited range of possibilities. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 100%;">Notice how synchronicity playfully guides us to our goals. Know that the whole of your life—people and events—has been orchestrated behind-the-scenes by your soul to bring you the profound adventures you want to experience this lifetime. Approach life as if the whole of creation is conspiring to bring you goodness … because it is! Because the good feeling of happiness would, by definition, bring good fortune (happiness). And that merely owning property may or may not secure happiness.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 100%;">Take an outrageous voyage through your own humanity—a journey to turn yourself inside out and explore the extent of your self-expressive power. Play, spontaneity and improvisation are integral aspects of being human, healthy and happy. Ancient and tribal peoples play, sing, chant, drum, dance and act out stories as basic ways to relate socially, to make individual and collective decisions, and to achieve goals in daily life. Play yourself into a new arena of personal creativity, resourcefulness and inspiration. Open to the spirit and magic of living life through the wonderment of childlike adventure, innocence, lightheartedness, humor and irreverence. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 100%;">Certainly, some things are too important to be taken seriously.</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;

Developing self-awareness can help us to recognize when we are stressed or under pressure. It is also often a prerequisite for effective <a href="http://yourfriendsremark.blogspot.com">communication and interpersonal relations</a>, as well as for developing empathy for others. Certain principles teach us how to align with divine elements and abilities to dominate moods, control environment as well as to manifest into life the desires of the heart. These are what we call </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Laws of Awareness or Manifestation Principles</span><span style="font-family:arial;">. Here are seven of them:</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Mentalism</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> - "The all is mind; the universe is mental". The universe is a creation of the mind. Everything that is thought becomes a reality within the mind of the all. All that which is within the mind of the all is what reality is made of. This is a mental universe.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Correspondence</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> - "As above so below; as below, so above." Everything that occurs, does so in relation to the all. What happens within, happens without. What occur above, occurs below. When a thought is contemplated, it appears in reality; all realities in one form or another. Nothing escapes the law. Creator creates and it becomes.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Vibration</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> - "Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates." All of life is life within the all. Vibration is the means by which creation appears in higher or lower form. Frequency permeates through all things. Masters have used this principle to dominate control over elemenst (ie weather, events, circumstances). Science agrees that all is within motion. At the subatomic level, all that exists is energy in motion.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Polarity</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> - "Everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled." When a master Hermetist focuses on one pole and neutralizes the undesirable pole, he masters <a href="http://amusdisc.blogspot.com">conscious manifestation</a>. All it takes is desire, focus and determination.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Rhythm</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> - "Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates." A master learns to rise above the pendulum swing, thereby allowing the desired to occur and the undesired to remain in the unconscious. The Hermetist uses the flow of rhythum and is not used by it.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Cause and Effect </span><span style="font-family:arial;">- "Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause; everything happens according to law; chance is but a name or law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the law." A master knows to become at greater cause by rising higher in vibration, to the higher plane of causation. A master is consciously aware of every cause creating each and every effect.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Gender</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> - "Gender is in everything; everything has its masculine and <a href="http://filipinastudes.blogspot.com/">feminine principles</a>; gender manifests on all planes" Masculine and <a href="http://filipinastudes.blogspot.com/">feminine</a> refer to a giving and receiving exchange in every creation that which is manifested. Thought represents giving, and taking it in represents the receiving and allowing for an idea to manifest into reality.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><span>Be aware of this sites:<br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);

"The right bra, T-shirts and sleepwear?" Donna Karan Intimates. "The perfect glasses?" Donna Karan Eyewear. The list goes on to include shoes, belts, accessories and, as Karan puts it, "Everything you need to pull yourself together."</span><br /><br /><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >Karan's quest for the perfect jeans, as well as her desire to dress her daughter Gabby, resulted in the 1989 birth of DKNY.

Both menswear lines beget other collections, from tailored suits to dress furnishings and shoes.</span><br /><br /><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >Determined to seduce all the senses, Karan took on the world of beauty in 1992 under the <a href="http://blogfinale.blogspot.com/">business</a> and creative leadership of her husband, who designed the bottles and jars for the signature fragrances and their ancillary products. The beauty division went on to introduce an award-winning skincare line and best-selling fragrances that include Cashmere Mist and DKNY scents for men and women. Completing the lifestyle approach to design, in 2001 Karan introduced a Donna Karan New York Home collection "all about touch and feel," which includes everything from luxe bedding and candles to cashmere throws, and DKNY Life, which accents the <a href="http://kaylandz.blogspot.com/">contemporary city home </a>with fashion-forward bedding and accessories.</span><br /><br /><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >Donna Karan International has seventy company-owned and licensed freestanding Donna Karan collection and DKNY <a href="http://onlineshopster.blogspot.com/">stores worldwide</a>. The first flagships opened in London, DKNY in 1997, and Collection a year later. 1999 marked the opening of the uptown New York City DKNY flagship store, located at 60th Street and Madison Avenue, and two years later, came the downtown DKNY flagship on West Broadway in SoHo. Bringing it back to where it all began, in 2001 Karan opened the Donna Karan New York flagship store, the premiere Collection showcase, at 819 Madison Avenue. Designed as "a serene escape from the city's chaos," a dramatic indoor/outdoor river rock garden runs through the townhouse's ground floor.</span><br /><br /><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >For Karan, it literally and creatively began in New York. She was born into fashion on Long Island. Not only was her father Gabby Faske (who died when Karan was three) a tailor, her mother Helen was a showroom model and fashion sales rep. Even Karan's stepfather Harold Flaxman was in the <a href="http://misssixtyz.blogspot.com/">fashion business</a>. So it was only natural that Karan, while still in high school, designed her first collection and staged her first show.</span><br /><br /><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >Following her second year at Parson's School of Design, Karan was hired by Anne Klein for a summer job. It was an association that would shape the rest of Karan's life. After three years as associate designer, Karan was named successor following Klein's death in 1974. Louis Dell'Olio, a Parson's friend, joined her a year later, together they designed the Anne Klein Collection. In a foreshadow of DKNY, Karan created Anne Klein II in 1982, originating the concept of bridge and lifestyle dressing in fashion.</span><br /><br /><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >Ten years after Klein died, Karan was ready to go out on her own with the support of Weiss and partner Takiyho, Inc. the owner of Anne Klein & Co. Fall 1985 saw the first Donna Karan New York Collection and the reaction from the press and retailers proved once again that Karan made fashion history.</span><br /><br /><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >Throughout her long career, Karan's peers have acknowledged her achievements with numerous accolades. The Council of Fashion Designers of America has saluted her an unprecedented six times. Because the industry has been so generous and supportive, Karan feels it crucial to give back, which is why she spends as much time as possible at her alma mater Parson's lecturing and critiquing students' work.</span><br /><br /><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >Using her company's visibility and resources for social causes is a heartfelt priority. A member of CFDA's board of directors, Karan conceived as well as spearheaded its Seventh on Sale benefits to raise funds for AIDS awareness and education. Karan co-chairs the annual New York "Kids for Kids" events for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, as she has since its 1993 inception, as well as the yearly "Super Saturday," a flea market/barbecue founded with the late Liz Tilberis in 1998 to benefit the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. She is an active supporter of New York City's Dia Center for the Arts, one of the most prestigious contemporary art institutes in the country and has chaired its last two Fall Galas. To facilitate her many on-going philanthropic involvements, in 1999, Karan and Weiss established the Karan Weiss Foundation to benefit children's causes, medical research and the arts.</span><br /><br /><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >Maintaining an open <a href="http://yourfriendsremark.blogspot.com/">dialogue</a> with her customer means everything to Karan. Through her company, Karan regularly publishes style-related books, sponsors art exhibits, charity events and book parties at the stores, and produces a bi-annual magazine called Woman to Woman, where Karan speaks directly to her Collection customer.</span><br /><br /><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >"I created this company for <a href="http://filipinastudes.blogspot.com/">women</a> like me and my friends," says Karan. "We're passionate and creative, striving to make a difference in whatever way we can. For us, <a href="http://yourfriendsremark.blogspot.com/">communication</a> is the ultimate essential of all."</span><br /><br /></div><fieldset class="zemanta-related"><legend class="zemanta-related-title">Related articles</legend><ul class="zemanta-article-ul"><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.hilarynews.com/2009/02/16/hilary-duff-at-dkny-fashion-show/">Hilary Duff at DKNY Fashion Show</a> (hilarynews.com)</li><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.hilarynews.com/2009/05/15/hilary-duff-talks-femme-for-dkny/"> Hilary Duff talks Femme for DKNY </a> (hilarynews.com)</li></ul></fieldset> <div style="margin-top: 10px;

Moreover, it is quite possible to lose your family in case of an accident or even in your house and other objects in a natural disaster.

Stop wishing and prepare your materials caused today you will create your own terrain. Creating a flocked hills and rocky formations for warhammer is not just complicated compared in making buildings and towers. Although constructing buildings is more commendable and needs more creativity but as long as you are willing and have the heart to let it all out in creating a warhammer terrain you can make anything. Almost anything you can make such as towers, houses, churches, castles, bunkers, factories and and pretty much anything part of warhammer gaming. That all for the introduction and its time to gather all the materials needed for its time to stop the talking and start working.<br /><br />Materials list<br /><br />• 20?x30? foam board <br />• pencil <br />• ruler <br />• utility knife <br />• paint brush (medium sized one will do) <br />• white glue <br />• black paint <br />• gray paint <br />• white paint <br />• Popsicle sticks <br /><br />And one karma from Astronomican (it’s like food for the soul) <br /><br />Step 1 Outline and cut your windows and entrance ways<br /><br />Use a space marine cadet to size up the doors on your foam board they should fit through the doors. They're actually able to fit through the windows too but that's not entirely necessary if you choose to make the windows a different size. Lets not include what is the measurement of the foam board that we will be using for the height and length of the walls for we have our own design and size of the building to be made. Just buy a sheet of foam board with a size of 20 inches x 30 inches will serve for a good sized miniature building.<br /><br />So, we draw and trace the desired design the cut out the doors and windows. To save some of your time you can cut out a template and trace the template for future use.<br /><br />Next, creating the side wall of the building. To assume the wreckage you can roughed the side walls. <br /><br />Step 2 Installing Popsicle sticks for added support<br /><br />This next step is the crucial and important because you are going to add extra support to your structure so that it will not easily be break down. But this step will not give you a hard time, first begin by slicing out Popsicle length strips in each level or storey of the front side of the building. Next is glue the Popsicle sticks in the slots you have just created.<br /><br />(Note: slicing too deep in the foam board will cause you to deface the front side of your wall.)<br /><br />Step 3 Cut and glue down your floors and walls together<br /><br />This step is the craftiest and needs an extra patience because it takes a little concentration and hands that are not shaky. Line up your three wall together to measure the size of your floors. You will then see what will fit in as a floor for each level or storey. You can choose to roughed also the edges of the floor to indicate wreckage same as what you've done for the side walls. to give some give some variety and design on the floors you can add up some wooden sub-flooring made from Popsicle sticks.<br /><br />Step 4 Scuff and add rebar<br /><br />This will be the most unique part of creating a terrain for you will destroy some part of the building you made in order emphasized the damaged parts of the building. It's the best part actually. Don't be afraid and hesitate go ahead and try and you will see the result. But don't destroy all, randomly create explosion holes and bullet hole marks throughout the front sides.<br /><br />And going in for a closeup to see some added rebar which is glued in place .<br /><br />Step 5 Prime building<br /><br />Acrylic black paint is what to be use in priming the whole building. You can add some fine sand to texture your paint this will add a rough concrete like texture to the structure and will give a different look and result when its time to dry brush later.<br /><br />Step 6 Paint building<br /><br />Next step is paint the building with gray paint. Make sure not to put a lot of paint on the brush. Creating a dry brushed look with the gray paint exposing about 5 percent of the black is best. Otherwise priming it in black would be meaningless. After painting it with gray dry brush it with white paint but this time make sure it's a very light dry brushing. And finally add a light green to accent the building. Otherwise it would be gray only and dull. Also add variety on the floors by painting it with yellow and brown colors.<br /><br />Alas, there you have it! A simple multilevel building wrecked and blown up to give it character and unique look. We hope this inspires some nice terrain ideas. Feel free to tell us what you think of this project. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome and encouraged.Giovshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08618764204918987843noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6868416302008482816.post-11532358811239396492008-03-11T22:39:00.000-07:002008-03-11T22:40:10.190-07:00How to Make Warhammer Stepped HillsA stepped hill for a warhammer! In able to create a warhammer stepped hill you should have focused and set your imagination with warhammer games in mind. So that you come up with a very nice and unique warhammer terrain. By the doing this you should remember all the war movies you have watched and try to imitate the hills that you have seen in the movie. Therefore the top of the hill will be a same as the size of an envelope 3 5/8 x 6 ½ inches in size. On the bottom level it will be wider than on the top of the hill and there should be enough space and room to place a line of at least ten space marines.<br /><br />Materials:<br />Polystyrene (Styrofoam insulation)<br />Envelope 3 5/8 inches x 6 ½ inches<br />Masonite<br />brown paint<br /><br />Step 1. Cutting the top level<br /><br />Get the polystyrene (Styrofoam insulation) with at least 1 inch thick and then draw the outline of the envelope into it. Next step is to draw an oval shaped guideline 1 – 2 inches around the polystyrene. This will create a gradual slope on the outer edge of the top level. Cut out the top level.<br /><br />Step 2. Designing the sides<br /><br />Once the top level has already been cut, begin shaping the gradually sloped sides by slicing away thin shavings of polystyrene it is recommended that use a wire cutter. Give all your best to be able to create a rounded, 45 degree angle without cutting into the envelope outline. Just do all your best and repeat again if it not correct. Be sure to incline the sides with a 45 degree angle so that it will look like a real hill.<br /><br /> Step 3. Making the Bottom level<br /><br />Then you make the bottom level by tracing the outline of the top level into another 1 inch thick piece of polystyrene. Next draw the outline of the bottom level by tracing around the line of space marines. Continue by rounding off the edges like the top level.<br /><br />Step 4. Gluing the sides<br /><br />The Masonite is marked by tracing around the bottom level. Use a beveled edge when cutting out the edge. The only difficult part of this is here, try your very best to make the angle fit with the curve of the bottom level. Glue the three pieces together using hot glue or white glue. You can also reinforce the hill by putting in two toothpicks in between the levels. To speed up the drying process and save some time you can use a hairdryer.<br /><br />Step 5<br /><br />Apply a filler to merge the gaps between the steps(Spackle will work fine). Glue clusters of sand and gravel on the hill to give your hill the effect of stony ground. Next is to paint the whole model using any brown paint.<br /><br />Step 6<br /><br />By painting the whole model with brown paint it seals the polystyrene. Dry brushing other brown paint can actually be done it is not necessary needed seeing as it will be covered with flock. To finish all of, apply a thin layer of white glue over the hill do not include the rocky areas. And sprinkle with Warhammer modeling flockGiovshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08618764204918987843noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6868416302008482816.post-11633554845506477342008-03-11T22:37:00.000-07:002008-03-11T22:38:40.860-07:00Do You Need A New Hobby? Start Collecting Rare Coins.Rare coins are one of the remaining investments which can be accumulated with privacy and transported easily. Coins are classic appreciating assets with a history of long-term price increases. Old and rare coins are worth far more than face value (the value on their surface) - and more than just their metal composition - as collectibles. Rare coins are a hobby, as are they a good investment. Rare coins are the most liquid of all collecting hobbies.<br /><br />Silver and gold coins are fast becoming a new American icon because they give investors economic stability, profit potential AND privacy. You may shop 24/7 for rare coins, gold coins, silver coins, 2007 bullion gold coins, gold coins and more at <a href="http://www.coinsale.org/" class="hft-urls">http://www.coinsale.org</a> among other places. If at any time our paper money is threatened, rare coins can protect wealth much like an investment in gold bullion. You can buy with confidence from several coin dealers. The heaviest coin to be minted is the 1000Mohur, a gold coin weighed almost 12 kilograms.<br /><br />Buying rare coins for own profit has been a good choice for investors for many years. Buying rare gold coins can be done from coin dealers, special auctions such as <a href="http://www.coinsale.org/" class="hft-urls">http://www.coinsale.org</a> (<a href="http://www.coinsale.org/" class="hft-urls">http://www.coinsale.org</a>). By the year 2015, experts believe that there will be some 140,000,000 coin collectors/investors, an increase of over 3 times that of today's buyers. Some collectors have made a lot of money buying and selling rare coins, others have lost fortunes. For instance, there are no reporting requirements for the buying or selling coins, so your own privacy can be easily protected.<br /><br />Rare coins stand out as a great investment compared to other collectible items, especially for someone looking to diversify their investment portfolios into the world of collectibles for the first time. As for other collectible items, nothing performs as well as rare coins when it comes to pure investing: coins are virtually indestructible, they are easy to store, easy to insure, and rare coins are portable commodities that can be easily converted into liquid assets. Unlike paintings, sports memorabilia, or other forms of collectible items, the old coin market is characterized by well-established standards for deciding the quality of any given coin and a stock market like infrastructure for ensuring the liquidity of the investment.<br /><br />Rare coins are totally immune from bankruptcy and virtually immune from dilution. Coins are not only good investments, they can be fun too. Rare Coins are trading at half of their market highs of the late eighties. Rare coins are very interesting because their rarity makes them both precious and fascinating. Thousands of rare coins are regularly bought and sold sight-unseen on an electronic numismatic exchange and auctions, like <a href="http://www.coinsale.org/" class="hft-urls">http://www.coinsale.org</a>.Giovshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08618764204918987843noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6868416302008482816.post-87533816675648625892008-03-11T22:23:00.000-07:002008-03-11T22:26:28.409-07:00Warhammer 40k Bell Tower Project:WIP Part 1In our article for today is all about building a bell tower. So lets just set aside some of our worries and focus our mind in creating something wickedly awesome a Warhammer 40K Bell Tower. The most important component in building a bell tower is a brass bell which can be purchased on a dollar store which is abundant during Christmas season. Now that we had already the brass bell we can already ready to construct. So pull up your socks, demist your glasses and repeat after me,”Warhammer is my life”. Did I say that out loud? Anyway, let’s build some terrain.<br /><br />Materials list:<br /><br />• 20?x30? foam board <br />• utility knife <br />• pencil <br />• ruler <br />• popsicle sticks <br />• white glue <br />• an Ipod playing Zeppelin and a little patience while cutting the foam board.(you’ll see what I mean) <br /><br />Step 1 Marking the Windows<br /><br />I tried making a Gothic/Imperial guard/city of death look to it. This is the part where your artistic instinct license comes in. Feel free to design and let your mind and basic instinct come to play in choosing your desired design of the windows. Draw your chosen design of the window on the foam board. It would be better to create a lot of windows on your tower. It creates a more clear feeling while looking through the building.<br /><br />Step 2 Cut out your Windows<br /><br />Cut out your windows according to what you have drawn, it should be pretty strait forward. This will test your patience sometimes cause you have drawn more windows so expect to cut more windows too. Although this is where you'll need to bite the bullet for a good while and just cut till you are so occupied in your work that when somebody come sup to bother you and call up your name three times, that only the time you begin to respond cause you do not want to be disturbed when cutting out the windows. After cutting out all the drawn windows its better to sand the insides to have a smooth sides.<br /><br />Step 3 Cut out base<br /><br />After cutting out the windows you're going to cut a base out so that the walls have something to stick in to. You can made it just large enough to fit two space marines along the outside of the building once in place.<br /><br />Step 4 Glue popsicle sticks<br /><br />Start this by slicing popsicle sticks width channels in each level. Next glue popsicles sticks according to its place. These will give enough support to the structure when everything is glued together and in order. Once finished gluing all the popsicle sticks let it sit to dry for 5-10 minutes.<br /><br />Step 5 Glue structure together<br /><br />This is where we make busted up flooring. Make it so it’s able to rest on both walls for stronger support. Hold the walls up perpendicular to each other and glue down the floors until it dries up. This will enable the building to stand by itself. Be sure that the wall can stand up all by itself. Next glue supports to the base. Use the windows that were cut from the walls.Giovshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08618764204918987843noreply@blogger.com0
