Every year stress is a main ingredient during the holidays. With Halloween around the corner and Thanksgiving and Christmas not far off, most of us think say the same thing to ourselves: This is the year I will shop early so I can avoid last minute shopping. I will begin the holiday season fully relaxed and enjoy it!
Yet every year time seems to slip away and suddenly the holidays arrive. You end up racing to the stores, panic-stricken, trying to find candy in the empty racks or a beautiful turkey for the dinner table that is now triple the price because the only store that has any left is the high-end market down the street.
Summer has just ended, the kids are back in school, and there is just the faintest touch of color to the trees that stands as testimony to a glorious fall season to come. Surely it is too soon to begin worrying about the Christmas holidays. Or is it? We have all felt the pressure and stress that comes from trying to buy holiday presents for everyone at the last moment, the strain that it puts on our finances, and we all resolve not to fall into the same trap next year. And yet, year after year, many of us find ourselves repeating the same situation. Now is the time to start making plans so that you can enjoy shopping and be stress free during the holidays.
The best way to plan you shopping to be stress free during the holidays is to start buying some presents now.
51 Billion Dollars and rising! Sounds like a company a wise investor should invest in. After all, having a piece of a 51 billion dollar industry is an exciting prospect, filled with anticipation for the future right? Not this time. This industry takes away any hope for the future. Any promise of potential greatness is dashed to the ground, becoming ashes and dust when people continue to invest in this business. Warnings have been issued over the years advising people to avoid investing in this global industry. Still people chose to purchase the stock � some one share at a time, others in large quantities.
Helping hand, music industry, music and marketing, make money with music, music business, helping hand, hand out, free, articles, cool articles, interesting articles Are You Looking for A Helping Hand Up and Not a Hand Out? By Jaci Rae If you are looking for a helping hand in the entertainment industry, then you'd do best to look at your own two. I know that sounds harsh, but if you've ever worked or tried to work in the entertainment industry you'll know exactly what I mean.
The myth of "being discovered" as you are walking down the street, sitting on an airplane singing, or even as you are performing in a small nightclub or Town Hall in some small town USA is simply that, a myth, another urban legend. (And trust me, if you hear someone tell you they were discovered that way, it's probably a marketing ploy they are trying to sell you on or they invited the "discoverer" to the venue or to walk down the street with them!) Put it this way, you have a better chance at winning a multi-state lottery with a $1.00 ticket, and then you'll have of being discovered this way in the entertainment industry.
Let me preface this by saying that I have the utmost respect and admiration for songwriters who can write song after song. Those very talented individuals who, while they are sitting on the plane, in the bathroom, or at a dining table, grab a napkin, the roll of toilet paper, the safety guide on the airplane, or whatever may be handy and start frantically writing. While I have had this inspiration once in a while, it�s not a fluent talent. So my hats are off to you! The statistics were very interesting and I hope not conclusive of what is going on in the music industry right now, although I suspect they are indicative of it.
As a musician, bands have it easier than a solo artist in terms of cost to make a CD. Other than that, there are little or no differences. For bands/artists who wish to start the process of making, distributing, and getting radio airplay by themselves, believe it or not, you are starting your own record label. Even if your goal is to land a major recording contract, you will still need to gather more attention for your music by cutting, distributing and promoting your own music. You�ll have a much better chance at getting a great record deal with a major label if you are successful on your own first.
If you've ever felt like your career was heading for a train wreck and didn't know where to turn, look no further than your own mirror. While you will find there are many people in the industry who will help you once you've succeeded, it's a far cry sometimes for anyone to help you when you are climbing up a ladder that sways in the wind and each rung seems like it's going down instead of up. The biggest inspiration you can have to avoid a career collision is to get up, look yourself in eye in your mirror and remember the classic children's book, "I Think I can, I think I can, I know I can, I know I can." From "The Little Train That Could." Say to yourself when you are looking in that mirror that You Can do it! You will do! And then get out of your comfort zone and DO it! Then start looking on the Internet for local musicians meetings to begin your networking today. Build your list of potential supporters one hand shake at a time.
In today�s society we know that the moral fiber of our communities is in peril. Why then, do we not protect our children? We have a responsibility to safeguard our most vulnerable; instead, we prematurely catapult them into a world they are not mature enough to handle and destroy their innocence. Frequently, I am asked by parents and friends of aspiring �stars� to offer my opinion about getting their child into show business. Recently my publicist, Marsha Friedman, President of Event Management sent me the following question: ��After the performance I spoke with her mom (who was in tears the whole time) about their incredible daughter and her future. Their daughter's dream is to be on stage singing professionally�I said I would forward some information to you - to get your thoughts.� After much contemplation, I wrote to the parents (excerpt):
I get asked a lot about press kits. People want to know how to present them, what's in them, etc. I have been asked over and over again to write articles on the subject, so here you are: a brief crash course on press kits. Your press kit is your calling card. It will introduce you and your band to the people you need to help move your career forward before they meet you or hear your music.
Make it interesting, exciting and entertaining. Make it attractive. Make it something that will capture their attention and make them want to see, read and listen to what you�ve sent. Your press kit should include reviews you have received for shows, information on current venues, and any reviews from your new CD when they are available. Include a head or group shot (black and white is the least expensive, but color really catches the eye), a bio (if you don't have a bio, create one, or get someone to create one for you), a cover letter, a CD, and a business card. Your cover letter, should be limited to one page and should be packed full of concise well formatted information.
Finding a distributor is hard. It can take months and months before you find and secure a distributor, which is not an easy process for independent labels or individuals. Don't give up or get discouraged; keep plugging away, even if you can't find a distributor after months of searching. Distributors get a lot of packages on their desks every week, so it's imperative that you contact them first before you send them a package. When calling a distributor, you may get them on the first try, or it may take you weeks before you get a live person to talk to. If you don't contact them first, and send a package to them unsolicited, it might get tossed or sent back unopened. But you may think, �My product is awesome!
In past headlines it read, "Ax may be hovering over Mariah Carey","recording giant ready to drop singer."
Now wait a minute, didn't Mariah Carey sell well over 50 million albums since 1990? (Strictly speaking in the dollar terms, that?s roughly 649 million dollars in album sales alone.) And wasn?t she one of the hottest acts in the past decade and in the exclusive Top Ten All Time Artist who have the most consecutive #1 hits? Okay, so she?s not married to the head of Sony Records any more and who cares that she had an emotional breakdown (who wouldn?t with the kind of pressure she has to deal with ?
I think I'd like to have a breakdown now!) ?
She's considered a liability?
When her contract was reportedly worth an estimated 80 million dollars and trouble looming over an already unsteady economy, which has hit the music industry over the past several year in declining sales, especially since the tragic events that occurred on September 11th, it's no wonder the 'ax' would fall on those with huge salaries.
With sales from her first release on Virgin/EMI only reaching 400,000 when it was released, this album has been a disappointment to record company execs as I am sure it was to Ms. Carey who has always been at the top of the charts until now. But doesn?t everyone have a bad hair day?
Of course, but not to the tune (excuse the pun) of 25 million dollars which is what Ms. Carey was reportedly paid for the first release, ?Glitter? on her old label. Now mind you, I would love to make that kind of money, and hats off to Ms. Carey?s people for negotiating that kind of deal, but the risk one takes in being the highest paid, is that you are usually the first one to go when times are tough. While Ms. Carey might have had an easier time with her old label because of loyalty to her and the huge profits she has generated and still does for them, this brand new label had nothing but dollar signs and no loyalty to her financially. Hopefully, Alain Levy who replaced Ken Berry will be able to renegotiate Ms. Carey?s contract instead of letting her go.
This was and still is today definitely yet another wake up call in an already floundering industry.
With Record Companies going down and out and hanging out their shingles right and left (DreamWorks being the latest). Executives being fired here, there and everywhere. Artists trying to duck for cover so they aren?t the next casualty; it?s a scary proposition being a musician.
Okay, so it's always been a scary proposition. So I ponder "why are things so much worse then they used to be? Could it be that too much money is being paid at the top? Is there not enough promotion? Is there too much shifting and leveraging to get the best deal? Is the quality of the product not meeting the demands of the populace? Bingo! With the fragile state of this and so many other industries, 1 hit wonders mentality must go if the recording industry wants to not just survive, but thrive. (Ms. Carey does not fall into this category; other then they are trying to find the next Mariah Carey.) Quality, not quantity. The industry needs to stop the mass cookie cutter attitude by trying to produce the same acts with different people in them over and over again. It?s like eating the same meal at different restaurants night after night. Different chefs, the same recipe, but none of the meals were as good as the first taste you had at your favorite restaurant. If you keep churning out the same act with different faces, eventually the fans will get tired of the original acts also and stop buying even their product. Change is a good thing and new acts come up all the time, but change is not good when it is constantly happening and no one knows which end is up.
The industry needs some stability and consistency, not only in the ranks, but also with the artists.
Too many artists are pulled off the shelves before they even get off the ground, leaving the listening audiences confused and disgruntled. The labels have forgotten the fans and is only worrying about paying their costly mortgages, thereby losing all loyalty from the paying public. If the audience is not happy, they won?t buy the product. In addition, we seem to be seeing even in the bigger named artists, with only 1 song released off their albums to the listening public.
Not many people want or can afford to buy an album for $11.98 with only 1 song they like on it anymore, even if they are loyal fans of the established artist.
The general population is the ones who are suffering the most in this economy. If there is little or no money coming in, then the day of the big contracts is gone. Some of the largest selling albums are ones with multiple songs on it that the listener likes. Take Shania Twain for example. Her albums are mega sellers with more then 1/2 the album on the singles charts at various times. Why are her albums huge? Because they are quality, and a great bargain.
The buying populace wants a deal. The Record Industry seems to want to put out a little and expect to get a lot, and in doing so, they are losing the fan base in general. People are spending their money elsewhere. They forgot that we are the fans and the fans have the buying power.
Without the buying power, they lose their jobs, the big deals go away, and the labels go under. They need to stick with the artists once they have signed them, promote them, and if the first album doesn?t work, try another one and work harder with a different strategy.
Forget trying to get another Mariah Carey, N-Sync, or Shania Twain. Use the talent that is there and churn out more then a 1 hit wonder. Then the buying public will come back and the fan base will be there for hopefully years to come. Look at acts like the Beatles, Garth Brooks, Elvis Presley, ABBA and Barbara Streisand to name a few. These acts stir the general public, and very few people have not heard of them. They still sell records and when they do a concert, it?s sold out in a second. This is because of quality. They weren?t churned out and then spit out. Let's take ABBA for example. This is a group based in the 70's, and they haven't had a hit record in decades. They are also one of the biggest selling groups of all times, still selling albums today. Recently, they were offered a billion dollars to tour for one year. The turned it down (wish I could do that!). While that is a contradiction of what I said about those with the largest pay being cut first, it is in line with what I have been trying to say here all along - the bottom line is the fan base. If it?s not there, the money will not come in, and it can?t be there with a 1 hit wonder. Too much spending, and not enough quality product has caused the music industry to come crashing down to reality. A little side note on Ms. Carey. I do wish all the success on her new CD (and it looks like she's hitting the top). She certainly deserves it.
She has worked hard and worked smart for the most part and has earned the right to a deal of the magnitude she received.

A recent news piece on CNN Prime News Tonight with Erica Hill revealed evidence that microwave popcorn could be harmful to your health. In the news piece it was discovered that Fluorooctanoic Acid was shown to be in high levels in microwave popcorn bags.
Fluorooctanoic Acid, which is added to the microwave-popcorn bags as a resistant coating, releases onto the popcorn when the bag is heated up and is then absorbed into the bloodstream and stays there for a long time. This chemical appears to be carcinogenic in lab animals. The FDA is now studying the affects of this chemical in greater detail.

History of a 'miraculous mineral'Asbestos was used in scores of home materials during the 20th century, but there was a cost.By Arrol Gellner, Inman NewsOctober 1, 2006 Over a century ago, American builders began using a remarkable mineral product. Being mined from a type of serpentine rock, it was natural, abundant and easy to produce, yet its unique properties made it almost limitlessly useful.It was resistant to chemicals and intense heat. It was an excellent electrical and thermal insulator. Out of its fibers, you could weave a cloth that wouldn't burn. You could even mix it with other materials to make them stronger and more fireproof.ADVERTISEMENTOver the course of the 20th century, American industry — with the government's blessing — found thousands of uses for this miraculous mineral.Woven into a cloth, it was used to insulate electrical wires. Mixed with a binder, it made a fireproof insulation for pipes and ducts. Mixed with cement, it made a host of practically indestructible
Popularity of outdoor entertaining blazingWith the mercury in the thermometer starting its annual retreat, fall evenings are soon to be downright nippy.For those nights and the slew of colder ones to follow, local stores say the fire pit is this season's must-have deck/patio accessory.ADVERTISEMENT "I think (fire pits) are growing in popularity all over the country and all over the world," said Tim Sooks, an interior designer for Home Depot. "Some countries have been using them for a while, especially at ski slopes. People want to be able to make their homes a retreat, and people just like being around a fire." Tina Fox, a saleswoman and assistant buyer for the Rutherford County Farmer's Co-op, agreed and said, "fire pits are a neat thing for entertaining in the cooler months."This year, for the first time, the Co-op plans to carry an extensive selection of fire pits, and Fox predicts copper and stainless steel will be the must-have materials of the season.&q

研究首次发现肥胖会增加患卵巢癌女性的死亡率 红网 美国佛罗里达9名特警开110枪射杀一名袭警 韩外长潘基文否认用钱换联合国秘书长职位 泰国枢密院大臣素拉育出任泰国临时总理 台风“象神”登陆越南造成70多人伤亡 中新网9月4日电据新华网报道，肥胖会引发多种疾病，还会在癌症袭击人体时“助纣为虐”。美国一项最新研究结果显示，肥胖女性患卵巢癌后的死亡率比正常体重患者要高。 这是研究人员首次发现女性的体重可能会影响卵巢癌的发展。 据报道，美国研究人员对216名患卵巢癌的女性进行了比较研究，其中35人为肥胖者，108人体重正常。研究结果表明，肥胖患者不仅存活率低，而且接受治疗后癌症复发的几率也高，原因是她们的脂肪组织会分泌一种激素或蛋白质，导致卵巢癌细胞过度
“健择”用于卵巢癌治疗 本报讯（实习生李媛）礼来公司近日宣布，美国食品药品管理局（FDA）已批准该公司研制的“健择”用于复发性卵巢癌的治疗。这已是“健择”这一抗癌药品获得的第四项FDA批准的适应症。 “卵巢癌是一种具有恶性程度很高的疾病。礼来公司在肿瘤研究方面的不懈努力与创新精神已为患有卵巢癌的妇女的临床治疗带来了突破，这使我们倍感欣慰。”医学博士、礼来公司癌症研究与全球肿瘤领域副总裁理查德•盖纳如是说。 根据FDA的规定，“健择”应与“卡铂”配合使用，在初期治疗至少6个月后用于晚期卵巢癌患者的治疗。提交给FDA的临床数据显示，与单独使用“卡铂”的患者相比，配合使用“健择”与“卡铂”的患者在无进展生存时间及缓解率这两
