Jack's Mannequin's Andrew McMahon Shines In Everything In Transit

0 comments
By Steven Stevenson

Personally, only a few musical artists can get away with cursing and obscenities in their songs. Though there are a lot of singers who include such words who are mostly censored by conservative people, there are bands like Blink 182 who can get away with it. Another one is Jack's Mannequin.

Jack's Mannequin, for me, was only interesting at first because of Andrew McMahon. This guy, former Something Corporate member, is a fantastic pianist. He is so talented he can captivate you when he starts playing the piano.

Andrew has the knack for writing. He uses this gift to make his songs great, just like what he did with Everything in Transit. With his words, he is able to paint a clear picture in your mind. He can clearly translate a message of a song to you. His flair for words is also the reason why he can get away with obscene language in some of his lyrics.

The track Bruised tells a story of a boy who can't seem to leave somebody behind. With Andrew's words, one can see and hear the story well. He combines metaphor and simple language to make a strong impact with his audience.

I'm Ready is a song that will help you feel better after a break up. Listen to this and you will no longer have to suffer pain. The song has a solid writing behind its lyrics, plus a great sounding melody. It will surely appeal to you.

When you listen to it as a whole, you will notice that the album is heavy with good melodies and beats. Songs, either slow- or fast-paced all have that distinct impression on listeners. The songs are also infectious. Songs like La La Lie will get you humming without you knowing it. Dark Blue shows just how good Andrew is at the piano. Combined with simple and relatable lyrics, the piano arrangement effortlessly makes this single amazingly great.

Other tracks in the album like Miss Delaney has lyrics that clearly paints an image in your mind. Such songs will put a stamp in your mind because not only was it well-written, it also has a very good sound to it. It can even get you up and dancing. Rescued, is another beautiful song but unlike Miss Delaney, this is very calming, something you can even use to put you to sleep. In this track, Andrew's flair for playing the piano is clearly evident.

When you take it as a whole, you can't really see anything wrong with Jack's Mannequin's Everything in Transit. It is well-written and composed. It is infectious and has a great quality to it.

Bruce Jenner Undergoes Corrective Cosmetic Surgery

0 comments
By Leonard Dawson

Bruce Jenner is most renowned to many as an Olympic hero. Jenner broke the world record for points when he won the decathlon, in the 1976 Montreal Olympics. In a gesture that has since been emulated by many athletes, a bystander handed him a flag of America and he held it high as he ran his victory lap, cementing his place in the hearts of many viewers.

In the 30 plus years since the Olympics, Jenner has since become a spokesman for Wheaties cereal and appeared on many television shows, most notably Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which he stars in with his wife and children. What has become more apparent, recently, has been Jenner's past plastic surgery mishaps and his recent procedure to correct failed facelift operations.

Jenner went against the advice of doctors and had a facelift and rhinoplasty, over twenty five years ago. The result was far from what he had expected. While Jenner was certainly not horribly scarred or disfigured, his appearance changed rather significantly, sparking an array of rumours over the years, ranging from horrific surgery tales to the rumour that he was burned while fleeing a burning house with his family. The truth is far less dramatic.

The Olympian received an ill advised partial face lift as well as rhinoplasty. He has never spoken publicly about the surgery and refused, until recently, to publicly acknowledge the incident. However, that all changed recently when Jenner decided to have reconstructive cosmetic surgery to amend the results of his former surgery. The results were revealed on his television show with his supportive wife and children by his side. Daughter Kim called the episode "heartfelt" and stated that viewers were able to gain an insight into how the initial procedure affected Bruce Jenner over the years.

There is little doubt that cosmetic surgery is popular among stars. When you put your face and body in the right hands and listen to the advice of a qualified surgeon, the results can be remarkable. The tiniest changes can produce remarkably dramatic results. Bruce Jenner had the unfortunate experience to go against surgical advice, and he lived with the results for over two decades. The world finally has a chance to see the new and improved Bruce, and his family seems more than impressed by the results. Whether you know him for his acting or his Olympic heroism, there is little doubt that it is excellent to see Bruce Jenner looking so good and healthy again.

Vanessa Williams Opens Up About Botox

By Leonard Dawson

When it comes to cosmetic procedures, it is often a guessing game to try to determine what celebrities have had anything done. Few celebrities will admit to having cosmetic procedures, even though most admit that everyone seems to be doing it. Because of this, it is always a bit exciting when a celebrity openly reveals that they use cosmetic procedures to attain that perfect television look.

Vanessa Williams, former pageant winner and singer and current co-star on the hit television series Ugly Betty recently admitted to journalist Barbara Walters that she frequently undergoes Botox injections. Williams calls the injections a miracle drug, marvelling at how impressive the results are without the need for cutting or surgery. She is quick to state that she loves the drug.

In truth, what is not to love? Williams is as beautiful as ever and certainly looks nowhere near her forty plus years of age. She is talented, successful, and one of the most beautiful women in the business. While many women in Hollywood are denying having work done and sneaking through the back door of the surgeons office in remote locations, Williams sits comfortably at home, basking in the astonishing results of her injections. She is among a very small group of celebrities who will admit to cosmetic procedures, though she is only a small part of the group of celebrities who have them.

Many women are inspired by people like Williams. Rather than denying that she ages like everyone else, she embraces that fact and admits fully to having injections to battle wrinkles. A lot of people have an unrealistic image of celebrities, feeling that they wake up every day of their lives looking as stunning as they did while in their youth. That perception is perpetuated by many celebrities' obvious refusal to admit to cosmetic treatment.

Vanessa Williams is a great example of the result of Botox. When performed properly by a licensed cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist, Botox is a safe way to eliminate wrinkles and to highlight the face. Williams has certainly done a great service by admitting to the injections and has helped people see that proper Botox can improve the skin without paralyzing the entire face. Many people have a skewed view of Botox because they only hear about people who have had the procedure done improperly, and Williams is helping to show the true face of excellent Botox injections.

Guitar Types - Understanding the Different Types of Guitars

0 comments
By Drew Peterson

Today one very popular instrument happens to be the guitar. Of course there are a variety of different types of guitars out there. Various guitars have a different appearances, sound, and are a bit different to play. Trying to decide what type of guitar to learn and play? Here is a look at some of the different guitar types to choose from.

If you are looking for a good place to start, it would probably be best to start with acoustic. These aren't electric, and rely only upon themselves for any sort of sound. The body resonates vibrations that you make by playing the instrument, and these are normally made of wood, and the types of wood that are used may be different for each guitar.

There are many different acoustic guitar types. One type of an acoustic guitar is a classical guitar. Usually these are great guitars for beginners to start playing on. They produce beautiful sounds and come with nylon strings in most cases. Flamenco guitars are very close to classical guitars, but they sound a bit thinner and have a crisp sound.

The 12 string guitar is yet another variant of the acoustic. It has twelve strings rather than the six you will find on other guitars, and while each string has an extra string which produces the same note, it is tuned to a higher octave, allowing for more options when playing.

Another type of acoustic that you can get is called the steel top. They're sort of like the classical guitars, and they have heavily reinforced bodies. They also differ because they are a lot larger. These also possess a much warmer tone which tends to make a more mellow sound than other guitars.

The acoustic bass is a type of acoustic guitar and it is basically a bass guitar that has no electric pick ups. The body helps to give the beautiful sound. In most cases these guitars have four strings, but some of them come with five or even six strings on them.

Naturally there are electric guitars, which you have no doubt heard of. These are guitars that feature electronic pick ups which take the vibrations that you make with the strings and amplify them. To get this effect you will usually need an amplifier, and you will need a good one. If there is no amplifier, then there won't be much sound to work with because the body of the guitar is not make to produce any.

Many such guitars come standard with control knobs that can control volume, tone and other aspects of the guitar. There are even a few that come equipped with whammy bars that allow you to shift notes without changing your finger positioning. Bars like this are generally utilized to produce the guitar sound called 'crying.'

These are just a few of the guitar types that you can find. Of course while you may want to learn to play a different type of guitar later on, it is best to start out on a classical acoustic guitar. Then when you learn the basics you can go on to experiment with other types of guitars to find what you really enjoy playing.

Britney Spears Womanizer - A Music Review

0 comments

By Shane Bascome

For this writer, listening to Britney Spears' Womanizer single is reminiscent of how good she was back in her prime. This song will induce only two reactions: love or hate it. But I'm pretty sure most will not go for the latter.

It has been a while since we have heard from Britney Spears (aside from the news and Internet posts). With the release of Blackout the album, she announced to the world that she is back after couple of years a roller coaster ride in her personal life. She made it official by appearing at the MTV VMAs where she, unfortunately, sucked.

However, shortly after the release of Blackout, which turned out to be her most unsuccessful album to date, she released the single Womanizer. Frankly speaking, this seemed to redeem her from her horrific performance at the VMAs. The song had the Britney signature. It is funky, danceable, and catchy. All the elements of a Britney hit is included in this single so you'd know that this will be widely received for a long time.

Even though the lyrics were not as deep as one would expect from someone who's been in the business for a long time, they were relatable. Fans will be able to connect to the song because they understand what it is all about: a womanizer who's been found out by the girl he likes. Womanizer, woman-womanizer You're a womanizer Oh womanizer, Oh you're a womanizer baby You, you, you are You, you, you are Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer. Now that he has been outed, the girl would not let him get even to first base. Nikesha Briscoe and Rapheal Akinyemi did a great job penning the words.

In this song, composers have adapted an electro-pop punk feel. This added to the appeal of the single because it's something new and different. However, it would also seem fit if the song stayed true to Britney's signature sound which is bubblegum pop. It would still have the same effect and appeal to the fans.

The record still sounds great nevertheless. One can't deny that this is a hit--a Britney hit. She has her signature all over the record:The lyric, phrasing, the distinctive vocals and tempo.

While most artists would like to come out with new and better songs, Britney seemed to have went back to basics with this song. Even though she has had more mature-sounding (technically and creatively) songs like the Madonna collaboration, Womanizer sounded like what she would record during her first two years in the business. However, it was a good decision because it allowed listeners to see and hear the true Britney Spears.

Womanizer is a great song. Nothing much can be said, really. If you expect a great song from Britney Spears for her upcoming album, then this one really raised the bar.

311 Shows Promise With the Release of Music

0 comments
By Steve Stevenson

Despite going through some tough times before they entered the music scene, 311 has managed to keep their heads focused on creating good music. Despite having troubles with their band line up and their struggle against poverty, they were able to see through and come out with great music.

All of their eight albums ranged from alternative to rap to funk to reggae to heavy metal. The success of their albums can be highly attributed to their extensive touring all over the US and other countries to promote their songs.

Their first album, Music, was released in 1993. Despite being released more than a decade ago, it can still command attention from fans all over. Its single Do You Right received fair airplay and reached number 27 on the Billboard Modern Rock Charts. But despite this, the album did not do very well when it comes to sales.

This is where one can be confused with identifying a successful song or album. Most of the times we only consider a song or record successful it does well in the charts or sells like pancakes. We also base an album's success of its gold or platinum status or the number of nominations and awards it receive from award-giving bodies.

What you need to know is that a record's success is relative. A song doesn't have to rule the charts before it can be considered successful. Personally, the success of a record is dependent on how good the songs are. 311's Music is an example.

This album is a compilation of all their earlier LPs. Songs in this album such as Do You Right, Feels So Good, and Fat Chance have been widely popular. These songs are amazing, and so is the album as a whole. These songs are played widely in the band's shows and almost always bring the house down.

When you listen to the album, you will notice a mix of relaxing tunes and upbeat, loud songs, the kind that will make you want to get up and groove to the music. The album's songs clearly don't disappoint. The band was able to successfully mix different tunes that will appeal even to non-rock fans. Nick Hexum, Tim Mahoney, Chad Sexton, and SA Martinez were great in their respective roles. Their combined efforts gave way to the birth of a very great-sounding record that will surely appeal to all fans and music lovers.

Insert 311's Music in your CD players and don't take it out. You can listen to it for months without getting tired of it. That is how great the CD is. This proves that a record doesn't have to be the hottest thing in the music scene to be considered a success. With the right team of talented musicians, you can.

Cosmic Ordering And Its Effect On Your Life

0 comments
By Samantha Hill

These days, more and more people are trying to enhance their lives by various means. They are trying to have a life which has the luxuries that they desire and are also able to want and appreciate the blessings that they already have. Now days there are a lot of ways and means to realize your ambitions and dreams, however the best method out of these is cosmic ordering.

Cosmic ordering is nothing but a different form of a spiritual practice which enables you to get all your wishes and desires fulfilled by the universe. All you need to do is to ask or just order and you will get it. Though this may be some what a spiritual process but it doesn't mean you need to be a saint to get the results. Yes, if you are one, then it will only help but this process works for normal people as well.

When you are able to spiritually manifest your goals and dreams, then it's known as cosmic ordering. All you need to do is ask for what you want from the universe or just state your ambition. It can be something as easy as getting a new pen to some thing as big as wanting to be a millionaire. You don't have to know how it will happen, whether it will happen by changing your life or conditions.

Noted spiritual gurus like Dr. Wayne Dyer and Dr. Deepak Chopra reveal that you need to enter a particular energy field known as the field of intent to manifest your desires. This is nothing but a kind of a frequency where we form a spiritual connection with the universe and that's when our desires are physically manifested by the cosmos.

There is a high probability that you have done cosmic ordering before without realizing what it really was. If you jog your memory, then there must have been a time when you really wanted something badly and you got it. Most people term it as a coincidence and don't realize the true power they have. It's never a coincidence, it was just cosmic ordering.

To use cosmic ordering, you need to have the right kind of intention. Intention is nothing but a mix of our desires and faith which makes us believe that we deserve the best in life and that this faith can help us in creating a better life for ourselves. The cosmos only accepts your orders when you really want something badly and believe that you are worthy of receiving it.

There are many people who may say that they want a new house or a coveted promotion or job. However, deep inside consciously or subconsciously they may not believe that they worked hard to get their wishes or that they deserved it. For this to work, you need to believe that you deserve what you are asking for.

This process of cosmic ordering is one of the simplest and the easiest to do and it can really give you a better life. The only downside is that you need to use it well and for manifesting positive things. If you believe that you will just get negative then it will work in the way you think and you may get negative things.

Hence, people who are always scared of losing their job may even see their fear coming true one day. Therefore just think of the good things that you want. Don't think about the bad ones.

There are many people who have been living in bad conditions and have been conditioned to believe that they don't deserve anything. For these people manifesting what they truly want is almost next to impossible.

Many a times your deep rooted subconscious beliefs can become your biggest stumbling block in the manifestation of your desires. Successful cosmic ordering can only happen when your subconscious mind can truly be conditioned to understand and accept the fact that you are worthy and prepared to receive all that you have ever wanted.

Communication with the subconscious mind can be accomplished by self hypnosis, meditation and simple affirmations. It's not tough at all!

Since the time this secret has been revealed, millions of people have actually used cosmic ordering to make their lives fun and have everything that they ever wanted. Now it's your turn to get what you want through cosmic ordering.

Cindy Crawford Admits Plastic Surgery Has Kept Her Looking Beautiful

0 comments

By Leonard Dawson

It can be a bit of a guessing game to determine who has had plastic surgery, when it comes to celebrities. Even when surgery is unbelievably obvious, many celebrities prefer to deny that they have had any work done, instead claiming that exercise and diet alone has thinned out an awkward nose, added two cup sizes or overnight removed years of excess body fat. There is no doubt that cosmetic surgery is popular, and why shouldn't it be? However, one thing that caught many people by surprise was when supermodel Cindy Crawford claimed that the beauty of her skin was due to plastic surgeons.

When we think of supermodels, we think of pure natural grace and beauty. What many people do not expect, however, is for these beautiful women to ever age. Looking at most supermodels, you would think that the ageing process skips them entirely, and that is what makes Crawford's revelation so appealing to people.

When most people look at a woman like Cindy Crawford, they wonder what expensive products she must use or what great genes she must have to stay so beautiful. Crawford dismissed that myth, letting women know that even supermodels get sagging skin and age like any other human being. She admits that she owes the elasticity and tightness of her skin to Botox and a very skilled team of cosmetic surgeons, as well as other products. While with many celebrities, this might seem like uneventful news, it has helped to break that inhuman mould that many people have of supermodels, instead showing that they are indeed just like the rest of us.

Cindy Crawford is still a natural beauty, but knowing that even she experiences the signs of ageing is strangely comforting to many people. It also helps to show the benefits of cosmetic procedures such as Botox and the effect they can have on the skin. The truth is that if Crawford had never admitted to the procedures, we would likely still wonder if she simply had genes that the rest of us only dreamed of. That may be true to some degree, but Crawford is living proof that even supermodels ageand she admits it.

Ageing is nothing to be ashamed of, and neither is cosmetic surgery. We all desire to look a bit younger or a bit shapelier. With the right cosmetic surgeon and the right attitude, you can follow in Crawford's footsteps and gracefully combat the effects of ageing on your skin.

Don't You (Forget About Me) - New Found Glory's Good Cover Song

0 comments
By Timothy Q. Mason

New Found Glory's cover album From the Screen to Your Stereo Part II included a version of the 1980's hit song Don't You (Forget About Me). The song, which was made theme of the movie The Breakfast Club, was originally recorded by the new wave band Simple Minds.

It was written by Ketih Forsey and Steve Schiff and originally offered to Billy Idol and Bryan Ferry. The two artists refused to do the song so it was pitched to Simple Minds. The group also didn't want to record it but after some encouragement from their label, the band did record the song. The song turned out to be a major hit.

It turned out to be a wise decision for the band. When the movie The Breakfast Club, which featured the song, was shown in theaters, it became a major hit. The song became the band's only number one hit in the United States. It was also their most famous song to date.

The thought of remaking a slow, serene, and haunting song from the 1980s by a pop-punk band that has more shouting than singing in their songs is a very interesting idea. For sure, the result would be unexpected.

New Found Glory's version is very much different than the original. It did not have the eerie feel of the original's vocals. It is more hip, youthful, and, obviously, loud. It's not unexpected to hear a louder version of this song since a pop-punk band is meant to sing something loud. The vocals, though, are not impressive since there was more shouting. However, the words were loud and clear.

It was great that the band did not make any major changes with the song's melody. People would expect a band like New Found Glory to not make drastic changes in a song's melody. What's expected from them is loud, upbeat and fun music. And they did deliver that. By sticking to the original score, they were able to retain the spirit of the song but still make it their own.

To be brutally honest, nothing is achieved in remaking the song. There was really nothing new brought to our plate aside from it being upbeat and more current. There was not much to expect, only loud shouting and growling (which was very audible at the bridge). Surprisingly, even though there was really no need for growling, it actually sounded cool. It was unexpected but good.

The song is okay. I don't dislike it but I'm not jumping in my seat either. It was good to listen to but there is nothing to get from it but a nice listening experience.

Woody Allen's Top 10 Funny Quotes

0 comments
By Joanne Aika Castillo

If there's one comedian I'd turn to for a sure fire dose of laughter, it would be Woody Allen. It seems like everybody knows who Woody Allen is. He is the man behind Annie Hall, Manhattan, Hannah and her Sisters, and a lot more movies which subscribe to the same film genre. Most of his films deal with recurring themes on sexuality, philosophy, literature, psychoanalysis, New York City, and Jewish identity. Aside from that, his films often portray a self-reflexive Woody Allen persona: the neurotic writer in New York City.

Allen's sense of humor can be described as wry, sarcastic, intellectual, neurotic, and self deprecating. He is brand of funny is unmistakably full of wit. I am a total fan of his humor. Almost all the funny quotable quotes that we derive from him and his characters embody an observant humorist who has got something to say about society. What makes it funny is that his dialogues tell us the undeniable truth. He has successfully mastered the humor that doesn't underestimate his audience's intellect.

Having said that, I have compiled ten of Woody Allen's funny quotations. These funny quotes were either taken from one of Woody's interviews or from a funny quotable line uttered by one of his characters. Ive selected funny quotes on sexuality, marriage, literature, death, relationships and pop culture. Surely these funny quotes will not only make you laugh but ponder on other themes as well.

Top 10 Funny Quotes from Woody Allen:

1. I took the speed reading course and read War and Peace in twenty minutes. Its about Russia.

2. If my films dont show a profit, I know Im doing something right.

3. I sold the memoirs of my sex life to a publisher. They are going to make a board game out of it.

4. In Los Angeles they don't throw out their garbage away. They make it into television shows.

5. Another good thing about being poor is that when you are seventy your children will not have declared you legally insane in order to gain control of your estate.

6. A fast word about oral contraception. I asked a girl to go to bed with me and she said no.

7. I'm not afraid to die. I just don't want to be there when it happens.

8. I took a test in Existentialism. I left all the answers blank and got a 100.

9. The only time my wife and I had a simultaneous orgasm was when the judge signed the divorce papers.

10. When I was kidnapped, my parents snapped into action. They rented out my room.

In my opinion, the first three quotes on the list are the funniest. All three quotes exemplify Woody Allen's classic brand of humor: the wry, sarcastic, and self-deprecating qualities of his jokes. The first one on speed reading is a hilarious critique on pretentiousness. The second funny quote is an ironic and defensive view of a film's value and commercial success. The third funny quote juxtaposes Allen's sex life and a board game which makes it a clever example of his self-deprecating humor. All in all, each of Woody Allen's funny quotes is a testament that humor is indeed a universal language.

The Fundamentals of Tennis.

0 comments
By Gail Jones

I trust that this, my initial dissertation on the fundamentals of tennis, will be found useful by both novices and experts alike in the tennis world. I am striving to arouse interest in the student of the game of tennis by a somewhat prolonged discussion of match play, which I trust will shed a new light on the game of tennis.

I will address the novice in my opening and write of certain matters which are second nature to the skilled player. The best tennis equipment is not much good for the beginner even if he really is trying to succeed. However, one has to buy good quality; it is a saving in the end, as good quality material far outlasts poor quality gear.

It is important to always dress in tennis attire when playing tennis. The question of selecting a tennis racquet is a much more serious matter. I do not advise forcing a certain make of racquet upon any player, since all the famous brands are excellent. However, it is on the weight, balance, and size of handle that the real value of a racquet frame depends, while good stringing is essential to obtain the best results.

After having bought your racquet, make a firm decision to use only quality tennis balls, as a regular bounce is a great aid to advancement, while a "dead" ball is of no use at all. If you really desire to succeed at tennis and progress rapidly, I strongly urge you to see all the good tennis you can. Observe the play of the leading players and try to copy their strokes. Read all the tennis instruction books you can get your hands on. They are a great help.

More tennis can be picked up off the court, in the study of theory, and in watching the top players in action, than can ever be learned in actual play. I do not mean miss opportunities to play tennis. Far from it. Play whenever you can, but strive when playing to put in practice the theories you have read or the strokes you have seen.

Never let yourself become discouraged by slow progress. The manner of playing some stroke you have worked at for weeks unsuccessfully, will suddenly come to you when you least expect it. Good tennis players are the product of very hard work. Very few players are born geniuses at the game. Tennis is a game that pays you dividends all your life. A tennis racquet is a letter of introduction in any town.

The brotherhood of the game is universal, since none but a fit sportsman can succeed in the game for any long period of time. Tennis offers relaxation, excitement, exercise, and pure enjoyment to the person who is bound fast to his job until late afternoon.

The following is the order of development that produces the quickest and most lasting results: i. Concentration on the game. ii. Keep the eye on the ball. iii. Foot-work and weight-control. iv. Strokes. v. Court position. vi. Court generalship or match play. vii. Tennis psychology.

Concentration. Tennis is played primarily with the mind. The best racquet technique in the world will not suffice if the playing mind is wandering. There are many reasons for a wandering mind in a tennis match. The chief one is loss of interest in the game. No one should play tennis with any hope of real success unless he cares sufficiently about the game to be willing to do the spadework necessary to learn the game correctly.

Give it up at once unless you are willing to work hard. Conditions of play or the noises in the gallery often confuse and bewilder experienced match-players playing in new surroundings. Complete concentration on the matter in hand is the only remedy for a wandering mind, and the sooner the lesson is learned the quicker the improvement of the player.

The surest way to keep a match in mind is to play for every set, every game in the set, every point in the game and, finally, every shot in the point. A set is merely a collection of made and missed shots, and the man who misses the least is the ultimate victor.

Andrew McMahon Shines in Jack's Mannequin Album

0 comments
By Steven Stevenson

I can only think of very few musical artists who can get away with cursing in their songs. Most of those who were hear cuss in their lyrics mostly get the ire of a lot of people. That is why hip-hop stars are at risk of being shunned by conservative music fans. However bands like Blink 182 have included obscenities in their song lyrics and yet managed to dodge judgmental stares and comments. Another one is Jack's Mannequin.

I must admit I only got interested in the band because of Andrew McMahon who was previously from Something Corporate. His amazing talent with the piano is what appealed best to me. And I can say that there are a lot of people who also appreciate this thing about him. He works magic with his fingers. Once he sits down at the piano and get those fingers working, you better get ready because you will be taken to music nirvana.

When you listen to his songs, you will realize that Andrew has a gift of words. He writes so well he can make a song memorable with its verses. With words, he can vividly paint a picture in your mind. He can also use it to divert the attention off some not-so-pleasant words to the more appropriate things. This is why he can get away with some obscene language in his songs.

When you listen to Bruised, you will hear the story of a boy who finds it hard to leave somebody behind. With the help of Andrew's writing ability, you will be able to vividly picture the image in your mind. Combined with metaphors and other languages, he is able to make you understand what he has to say.

I'm Ready is a song that is meant to help you get over a break up fast. It has a great lyric that will inspire you to do something good for yourself. It also has a great sound to it, something that will definitely appeal to the listener. Plus, the song has one unforgettable line: My life has become a boring pop song and everyone is singing along?

When you listen to it as a whole, you will notice that the album is heavy with good melodies and beats. Songs, either slow- or fast-paced all have that distinct impression on listeners. The songs are also infectious. Songs like La La Lie will get you humming without you knowing it. Dark Blue shows just how good Andrew is at the piano. Combined with simple and relatable lyrics, the piano arrangement effortlessly makes this single amazingly great.

Other tracks in the album like Miss Delaney has lyrics that clearly paints an image in your mind. Such songs will put a stamp in your mind because not only was it well-written, it also has a very good sound to it. It can even get you up and dancing. Rescued, is another beautiful song but unlike Miss Delaney, this is very calming, something you can even use to put you to sleep. In this track, Andrew's flair for playing the piano is clearly evident.

When you take it as a whole, you can't really see anything wrong with Jack's Mannequin's Everything in Transit. It is well-written and composed. It is infectious and has a great quality to it.

A Critical Look At Actor Resume Template

0 comments
By Ferdinand Emy

One of the most efficient ways to present your work experience and your accomplishments on your resume is with bullet points.

Such selective data can include height and weight in addition with eye color and hair color. Listing such attainments and awards are able to make a big difference in assisting you to land a role that you desire. An actor resume template may aid you to start in writing an attention grabbing resume. For example, selective information that you would never include on a usual resume will often times be included on an actor resume template.

History of Beyonces Career

0 comments
By A. Nutt

Beyonce Giselle Knowles was born September 4th, 1981 in Houston, Texas to Matthew and Tina Knowles as the first born of two girls. Before she reached the age of seven she was singing and showing signs of great talent. When she was seven, she was already attending dance school and was a soloist in the church choir.

By the time she reached her teen years, any spare time she could find was spent with her childhood pals, LaTayia Roberson, Kelly Rowland and LeToya Luckett, performing at local functions. The girls, then known as "Girls Tyme" tried their luck at Star Search but did not make the cut. Beyonces Dad gave up his good paying job in order to devote his time promoting the band. To this day Matthew Knowles manages his daughters career.

After trying a few different names, the girls settled on Destinys Child. The musical debut for the group was the song "Killing Time", which appeared on the soundtrack for the "Men in Black" movie, released in 1997. A year later, they had number one single with the song, "No,No,No, Part 2." The quartet became a trio later on that same year with the departure of LeToya and LaTayia, who decided to pursue individual careers. Destinys Child continued onwards and became one of the top R&B/Pop groups in 2000 accumulating four Billboard Hot 100 number one singles and numerous top ten hits, as well as two albums that went to number one.

The groups second album continued with great success with tracks like "Say My Name," "Jumpin Jumpin," and the very successful "Bug A Boo." In the 2001, two Grammy awards were given to "Say My Name". They followed up with a third album, "Survivor," which produced such hits as the title track as well as "Bootylicious". The group decided to disband by 2005 but had at that time proven themselves as one of the top selling female groups in music history.

Beyonce had proven her worth and skills as a songwriter. She won the 2001 Songwriter of the Year, awarded by the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers Pop Music Awards. This made her the first African-American woman to win the award and only the second woman to win. She also spent a bit of time working on solo projects which at first was not as successful as the projects with the trio, but she was not easily discouraged.

When she finally released her solo debut album, "Dangerously in Love", it went right to the top selling over 300,000 copies in just the first week and went platinum 3 weeks later, in June of 2003. The single from the album,"Crazy in Love" topped the charts and stayed there for over 8 weeks. Later that same year her album and the single topped the charts at the same time which put her on the same level as such musical wonders as The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, and Rod Stewart. She was and still is the only female artist to have accomplished this feat. This helped make Beyonce one of the biggest artists in both sales and popularity for 2003.

In 2004 she won five Grammy Awards. On the Destinys Child album released in 2005, Beyonce released a song called "Check on It," which was used on the soundtrack of "The Pink Panther Movie," released in 2006.

In correspondence with her 25th birthday, she released a second album called "Bday," which sold more than her first solo album, with 541,000 copies sold in the first week after release. The lead single from the album, "Dj Vu," became a number one hit on the US R&B charts.

Not only has Beyonce had success in music, but also on the movie screen. She may be best known for the character Foxy Cleopatra in the 2002 summer movie, "Austin Powers in Goldmember" along side Michael Caine and Mike Myers. In 2003 she appeared beside Cuba Gooding Jr. in the movie "The Fighting Temptations". In 2006, she got chance to pay homage to Diana Ross in a movie based on a Broadway musical depicting the lives of the Supremes. Beyonce showed off her incredible acting skills, playing the part of Ms. Ross in the Movie titled, "Dreamgirls", which opened with first weekend sales of $8 million and has grossed well over $100 million to date.

Beyonces talent has shown no end in sight and her fans are looking forward to see what is yet to come.

Do I need Teeth Whitening?

0 comments

By Jane Davies

Your teeth are a very obvious feature of your appearance. Teeth whitening agencies know about this fact, which is why they are encouraging people to whiten their teeth, in order that they can look their best and in order that others will think their general appearance more pleasing.

Whitening your teeth can also boost your self confidence. Did you ever noticed those people who smile a lot even to strangers? Notice how easily they radiate warmth just by smiling that Hollywood smile. Sometimes, that smile becomes so contagious that you find yourself smiling and feeling better from that time on.

This is the reason why you ought to perfect that smile, so you can do it much more often. One way of perfecting it, is by whitening your teeth. In today's world where beauty products and facial makeovers are commonplace, you see lots of beautiful people. However, what you will always remember is the colour of their teeth.

You probably think that they are very lucky to have been born with teeth like that, but what you do not know is that those teeth are the result of the whitening products and procedures that are available today.

Over-the-counter teeth whitening products are not as dear as they once were. This may be because of the stiff competition out there. With so many new products appearing practically everyday, it is no wonder that the prices are dropping so rapidly.

Take a careful look at yourself in the mirror. Are your teeth as white as they once were? Do you feel that they could be made even whiter? Are you one of those who would benefit from having their teeth whitened?

To answer these questions, check out some of these considerations:

1. Methods for teeth whitening. The methods used for teeth whitening are on a case-to-case basis. For every individual, there is a method that will suit their different needs. You can opt for veneers instead of bleaching or teeth whitening. The best thing to do is to see your dentist first about what should be done. Your dentist will be able to tell you what will be perfect for your needs.

2. Smokers and caffeine-addicts. If you are one of those who like to consume caffeinated drinks, then you are an ideal candidate for teeth whitening. This is the same for persons who smoke. The ingredients in caffeinated drinks can dull your teeth if you have been drinking caffeine for a long time. Tar and nicotine can also discolour teeth easily.

By having your teeth whitened or by using whitening toothpaste every day, you can reduce the effects that these ingredients will have on your teeth. Continued, regular use will definitely help delay the rapid discoloration of your teeth.

3. Sensitive teeth and gums. Your teeth and gums may not be able to tolerate the chemicals in the whitening products. If you think you have sensitive teeth, it is better to put off using whitening products until you have first asked your dentist.

If you have a sensitive mouth, but you are still serious about having your teeth whitened, then you had better try one of the professional treatments. Do not take the risk of buying one of the products that you can buy over the counter.

Once you have considered all these things, then you will have a better idea if you are ready for that teeth whitening procedure. When it comes to your well being, it is always better to be safe than to be sorry.

Teeth Whitening: Pros and Cons

0 comments
By Gail Jones

Choosing teeth whitening products from the different teeth whitening products there are on the market these days can be very confusing. However, some of these teeth whitening products do not give the desired results.

If you asked the experts, they would inform you that the best method of teeth whitening is still obtainable through your dentist. Not only is it the best, but it is also the most effective and the quickest way to have whiter teeth.

But then, not all people can afford the fees that come with each treatment. Another thing that hinders them from going to dentists is fear. It seems that in early childhood, dentists are one of the most feared professions and that children just do not want to have to go to them. This fear continues on into adult years.

Although dentists do not advise people to choose teeth whitening products, they all agree that most of these products are effective to some degree. According to studies, most teeth whitening products, if used regularly and consistently, can result in whiter teeth that can out perform any dentist-assisted procedure.

An additional plus point that teeth whitening products have, is that they contain the same ingredients that are used in professional whitening. Two of the active ingredients used in whitening teeth are hydrogen peroxide and carbamide. These two chemicals are also the ingredients present in some of the products that are on sale in ordinary grocery stores and pharmacies.

The only advantage that amateur teeth whitening products have over professional whitening is that they tend to be much cheaper. Everyone who finds out about them can afford to add them to their list of basic shopping items.

Most of these items can be had for under $30. Compare this with the $100 or more that you need to pay at the dentist's surgery. It will not surprise you that people prefer them over the higher fees. However, teeth whitening products do have some disadvantages. Some of these are:

1. Suitability. Sure, teeth whitening products cater for all sorts of teeth, however different people have different requirements. What some people find works may not work for others. This is one of the problems that people will encounter with these 'home' products.

There are some who have sensitive teeth and gums. Reaction to the products will depend upon the suitability of the products to the people using them. An option would be to try different products until you find the one that suits you.

2. Strong Chemicals Used. You will not know what your reaction to any given chemical will be until you have tested it yourself. As you do not know how sensitive your teeth are, you will also not know what will happen until you start using the product. It is better to talk with your dentist before selecting any product at all.

3. Tray may not fit. The tray put in your mouth does not exactly fit you, so there is a tendency that it may be either be too large or too small.

If it is too large, the chemicals may not work very well. On the other hand, if it is too small, it may cause gum bleeding and other side effects that could cause even bigger problems. Be certain that the teeth whitening precuts you choose are suitable for you. If none of them works, then perhaps professional teeth whitening would be better for you.

Rascal Flatts' Scores A Hit With Bless the Broken Road

0 comments
By Roberto Johnson

Feel-good songs have a way of making it through not only charts but our hearts as well. A mixture of a great lyric, wonderful melody and perfect vocals, a great feel-good song will instantly grab you the moment you listen to it and stay with you for a very long time. Rascal Flatts did this to me with their version of a 1994 classic called Bless the Broken Road.

When I first heard the song four years ago, it was during the finale of American Idol season 4. Carrie Underwood performed with a country music group called Rascal Flatts. The song they sang, although it was alien to my ears and only ran for more than a couple minutes, instantly perked my ear up. Whatever the reason was, I started to look for the song online.

Because of my admiration for Carrie Underwood, I downloaded a version of their performance. I started to listen to the song on regularly. During this time, the song, and the band was starting to grow on me. I then heard three different versions of the song. But no matter how fast or slow the interpretations were, it all had the same effect on me.

Bless the Broken Road was originally written in 1994 for the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. It was recorded by three more artists before Rascal Flatts made a huge hit out of the song.

The song was included in their 2005 album, Feels Like Today. Despite the fact that it has been around for quite a while, Rascal Flatts made it a sensation. It took the charts by storm. As a matter of fact, it stayed at the number one spot in the Hot Country Singles and Tracks for five weeks. It even won a Grammy for Best Country Song.

The song is packed with high quality lyrical content. Simple, straightforward lyrics plus wonderful musical accompaniment make the song a great listening experience. Add to that its inspiring message of not losing hope. It reassures you that there is something better at the end of a rough, tough, and broken road.

Yes, the lyrics are great and inspiring but I think the tempo of the song can be slowed down a bit to have a more emotional and powerful effect. Rascal Flatts' cover was mid-tempo, which is similar to the original version, and has a feel-good aura because of how Gary sang it.

Rascal Flatts' rendition was similar to the original version. It was mid-tempo. You can also hear a wonderful piano accompaniment that added to the effect of the superb arrangement. Gary LeVox was able to sing every note right and drop every word at the right spot. His vocals were relaxed and packed with emotions. He was on the right key. It was flawless. When the song builds up in the second verse to the chorus, you will really feel how strong the song was. This is enough of a reason for you to start listening to Rascal Flatts.

Angels & Airwaves: No Weak Link In First Album

0 comments
By Tom Alder

Years ago, when Tom, Mark, and Travis of Blink 182 announced that they were taking on an indefinite break, which translates to their splitting up, fans, including myself, felt frustrated and disappointed because it may be the last we'll hear from any of them. It felt wrong to see a band break up just when they are at their prime. But then, all hopes seem to come back when Tom announced his new band, Angels & Airwaves.

The former members of Blink 182 were known to be very talented so it seems like we will not be hearing good stuff from a new band, whether one of the three is fronting them. But that was not the case when Angels & Airwaves came out with their debut album We Don't Need to Whisper.

To start this critique of the album, let me say that Tom is an amazing musician and you can expect him to do magic regardless of what band he plays in. In each track of the album, Tom's wonderful and powerful vocals shone through. Add to that the great performance of each instruments, you have a great track in your hands.

Since I don't really expect the record to break barriers and knock me off my feet, it was surprising to hear a great album. It's mix of good lyrics, strong guitars and percussion, nice rifts and arrangement, you are left with incredible music.

With Angels & Airwaves, Tom has taken on a more serious path. He, together with his new band mates, was able to create a great line up of songs that talk about war, love, loss, hope, and space. Each track can stand alone. Each track is brilliant in its own way. They have a more mature sound. The lyrics attempt to talk about serious stuff with more depth.

Upon listening to the album, you can hear how well the band plays their instruments. To give due importance to their knack for playing the instruments, they have made quite long introductions for their songs. They showcased their musical chops in their introductions. Valkyrie Missile, as an example, has an intro that runs 2 minutes and 40 seconds. Distraction had a minute and 9 seconds intro. The technical aspect of the songs are very well arranged. You can see that everything is carefully thought of.

But what makes the album memorable and very nice to listen to is its message. Tom's powerful vocals, which shift depending on the theme of the song, will haunt you and hit you where it should-the heart. Though the lyrics of the song tend to be repetitive at times and are not as great, it still helped make the album memorable. I guess you can also say that you have not heard Tom sing as good as he does in this album. His interpretation of the songs has made each track noteworthy.

In summary, Angels & Airwaves has entered the music scene not as another band with a famous front man but as a band that creates good, memorable, and noteworthy music.

Vanessa Williams Opens Up About Botox

0 comments
By Leonard Dawson

It's often a guessing game to try to determine what celebrities have had anything done, when it comes to cosmetic procedures. Even though most admit that everyone seems to be doing it, few celebrities will admit to having cosmetic procedures. Because of this, it is always a bit exciting when a celebrity publically reveals that they use cosmetic procedures to attain that perfect television persona.

Vanessa Williams, former singer, pageant winner and current co-star on the popular television series Ugly Betty recently admitted to journalist Barbara Walters that she often underwent Botox injections. Williams calls the injections a miracle drug, being amazed at how impressive the results were without the need for surgery or cutting. She was quick to say that she 'loves' the drug.

In truth, what is not to love? Williams is as beautiful as ever and certainly looks nowhere near her forty plus years of age. She is talented, successful, and one of the most beautiful women in the business. While many women in Hollywood are denying having work done and sneaking through the back door of the surgeons office in remote locations, Williams sits comfortably at home, basking in the astonishing results of her injections. She is among a very small group of celebrities who will admit to cosmetic procedures, though she is only a small part of the group of celebrities who have them.

Many women take inspiration from people like Williams. Rather than denying that she ages like everyone else, she embraces that fact and admits fully to having injections to fight wrinkles. Many people have an unrealistic image of celebrities, feeling that they wake up every day of their lives looking as beautiful as they did while in their twenties. That perception is perpetuated by many celebrities' blatant refusal to admit to cosmetic work.

Vanessa Williams is a great example of the result of Botox. When performed properly by a licensed cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist, Botox is a safe way to eliminate wrinkles and to highlight the face. Williams has certainly done a great service by admitting to the injections and has helped people see that proper Botox can improve the skin without paralyzing the entire face. Many people have a skewed view of Botox because they only hear about people who have had the procedure done improperly, and Williams is helping to show the true face of excellent Botox injections.

By Adam Bradley

If you are looking to watch 17 Again online free on your computer then you will most likely spend countless days searching for the best websites that offer these services. Let's face it, no one can afford the time to view movies in the movie theaters today and why should you anyway? Most of the movie theaters can cost so much today just to watch the film that it is more affordable to wait for the movie to be released on DVD then just buy the movie when it's available.

There are quite literally millions of sites on the internet that are dedicated to offering you the most recently released movies. Some of them are completely free of charge but I wouldn't suggest you headed straight for these; there aremany other websites that have a minimal joining fee that allows you to become a part of a community where downloading is much safer. All that you really need to understand, is what to look for so you can get the the best quality movie downloads for your money.

A lot has changed over the last several years when it comes to the available connection speeds. In the past, the downloading of a film would seemingly take weeks and it wasn't out of the ordinary, that after several days of downloading a movie, to find that it was also incomplete or even of extremely bad quality. Unfortunately there are still a lot of sites on the internet that continue to offer these substandard movies.

No one really wants to download a poor quality movie or even a part of one seeing as though excellent quality and recently released movies are obtainable all around the World Wide Web, but only when you know where the best locations are to search for the movies. It is completely possibly to find the movies absolutely free of charge, it would be my suggestion that you stay as far away from them as possible because the films are usually packed with malware and other malicious programs.

When it comes to staying clear of these virus-filled files, and still download the recently released films, all that you need to do is to ensure that you use any of the large selection of reputable film services instead. Most of the movie services require a one-time fee.

The small $35 fee that you pay in order to join the downloading service, is much more affordable in comparison to buying four theater tickets in order to watch a movie in the theaters. Why should anyone get limited to only five movies a week when they could be downloading a totally different one each day of the year.

The good news is that although there are a few internet based services around the web which are not entirely legit, the majority of them are. There is also many other things that you will need to look-out for when choosing to sign up for a download service to watch 17 Again online.

Does this movie service offer to you a money-back guarantee? You need to make sure that if you are not satisfied with the service, that they will return your initial investment. Make sure that you read and understand their cancellation policy. A great service will offer you a 60 day money back guarantee as well as making sure that canceling the subscription is not an impossible process.

Make sure there aren't some form of limitations on the movie downloading. You do not want is to select a film download service that may limit the downloads, seeing as though they have hundreds of thousands of films in the servers. A few of these movie download services around limit downloads, but some of them will give you unlimited downloads every single month.

Do they offer customer support? This might seem an weird question given that all that you are doing is obtaining movies right? Well yes and no, the service is ran with a proprietary client-side application which allows one to make a connection with the site and contacting them when the need arises is imperative. Some of the best services available are offering customer support 24 hours a day.

In order to help you locate the perfect service for your needs I have made sure to add the links to a few online services in this article. Then again, you may also use MSN search engine with a simple search for 'Free Recently Released Movies'.

It is important that you make sure to learn the particular subscription service since they are all very different. You may want to make sure that they are making available legitimate copies of the films you would like to download as well as whether or not they offer some form of customer support as well as a money back guarantees to their customers.

When it comes to obtaining the movies, a good portion of them are less then 700MB and are of excellent quality. You can usually download an entire TV show in less than an hour depending on the speed of your internet connection.

Of course you will also want to make sure that the download service allows the option of downloading the movies to your personal computer, add it on your PDA and even watching the movie right through the client-side program live. Most television download services allow all three of these options while others are more limited. Check to ensure that you are getting exactly what you will be paying for.

Of course you also, have many TV show downloading services which you only have to pay a sign-up fee in order to access the first time and then after that there are absolutely no more. The best choice is choose the movie downloading service that only asks for the initial fee as well as offers all of the three viewing choices with regards to the movies.

Of course nothing more is important than ensuring that you are protected when you choose to join one of these film services. You absolutely have to make sure that there is some form of guarantee and that you will have some type of customer support to speak to when you want it. By making sure to do plenty of research before hand that you will be able to protect yourself the best.

Americans love movies and rightly so. The passion we are share in slipping in a DVD or watching a movie online seems to be one of the most enjoyable and relaxing times of our entire day. It is not only a great form of entertainment but a time to enter different worlds of fantasy played out in movie plots.

Our passion for watching movies can be measured in the hundreds of millions spent each year on movie downloads, rentals and DVD buys. No other time has given us access to so many great movies.

When you look back during the Great Depression and throughout the times when we were engaged in world wars, movie entertainment was scarce. Even worse, people did now have money to pay for movie tickets or go to theaters.

Movies really became the most sought after form of entertainment when sound was first introduced. To hear the characters actually talking to the movie watching experience to a whole new level. It was then that they actually began to bond with their favorite actors such as Shirley Temple as they heard the sound of their favorite actors for the first time.

There were a many blockbuster hits released during those times. Gangster movies seemed to grow with popularity with the rise of the mob. Women seemed to love watching musicals, plays and intriguing romance stories featuring the best actors of that time.

Even though movies were the best form of entertainment during those times, it did cost money for a ticket and that was a scarcity, especially during the Great Depression. As an alternative to going to the local theater, people resorted to listening to their favorite radio stories such as and very often the entire family would huddle around the radio in dead silence as stories were told.

Some of the greatest box office hits during that time included movies by Gloria Swanson, Colleen Moore, Greta Garbo, John Barrymore, Norma Talmadge, Harold Lloyd and others, all idolized stars.

Musical performances put on by Big Bands were another great hit during the Great Depression. People would listen to these musical shows and stage performances over the radio as an alternative to spending money for movie tickets. It was very popular.

Even though the people during the Great Depression did not have money to spend for entertainment, they seemed to always find a way to have fun and be entertained. This is a great testament to the strength and will-power to carry on during tough times.

Today, even though the country is going through an economic recession, at large we are not encountering the plight they had to endure. With a mouse click or a short drive to a DVD rental store, we have access to tens of thousands of movies and high quality DVD's such as western movies, science fiction, comedy or scary movies. It is amazing how far we have come.

Which Celebrity Has Made A Cosmic Order?

By Carole Stracken

A great deal of attention has recently been placed on Cosmic Ordering. Scores of individuals place their own cosmic order. However, the question is, does it work in reality?

Almost everyone has heard of the secret and the law of attraction. However, you can obtain your desire, because cosmic ordering is much more detailed.

If you could have the desires of your heart, what would you order into your life today? Is it your wish to be in perfect health, is it wealth and material items you wish or do you want a perfect mate? All of these things are free for the taking by asking for them when you employ the cosmic order system.

According to numerous celebrity endorsements and a multitude of individuals, it does work for them. Even so, what is it that occurs while placing your cosmic order? In addition, how is it that for some it does not work?

The process is simple and yet many fail to reap the rewards that they want. There are several reasons for this. One is that they still have the old belief system that there is not enough to go around for everyone.

Some individuals never find it no matter how hard they try yet there is abundance all over the place. They believe that there is a limited supply and that the success of another takes it away from them. Then they become angry and jealous with those that do seem to have it all.

This belief will actually block the rewards that they desire. This then signals the brain once again that there will never be enough for them to have anything. The Universe is signaled, while consequently fulfilling this prophecy by such brain activity.

The second reason that most people dont succeed is that, while they believe theres enough to go around and get excited for others, they dont believe it can happen to them. You hear it every time someone buys a lottery ticket. I never win anything. They are never disappointed that way. They believe that if they acknowledge their lack, some outside force will feel sorry for them and fill the gap right away.

It does not work like that. You can place your cosmic order accompanied by a simple phrase to determine your destiny.

Lastly, the desires of many are not achieved, because they hold no true belief for having what they desire. Their desire becomes blocked by this negative energy. It is their belief of their uniqueness and desire as well as their ability to obtain their desires that holds no universal value and then their experience of possibility when making a cosmic order is seized.

When you find that, you are lacking in your beliefs you must do some serious reprogramming. You must begin to acknowledge that you are special and essential as an individual, while removing your old system of beliefs. Remember, we are all equal and none is better than the other is.

Every creature that walks the Earth has a divine right to happiness, wealth and health. It is yours for the taking. You must, however believe that no matter what happened in the past you deserve it.

You can use cosmic ordering easily when you have the right tools. Scientific studies shows prove that the concept works. The commonsensical ideal behind the secret has eluded humans for centuries, however some of it has been revealed by quantum physics.

You can ensure that cosmic order is successful for drawing your desires to you. Essentially, you should remain positive. Making positive affirmations, self-hypnosis and meditation are helpful.

You can instantly change the state of your mind in order to communicate with the universe, by using special sound frequencies known as binaural tones, which are recent developments in sound technology. You notice quicker results by using this technology to aid you in clearing away your old beliefs much quicker.

At one time, only true believers of a religious sect or mystics were those who used the cosmic order system. However, today, everyone can take advantage of all these possibilities. You can achieve your desires while uniting science and the wisdom of the ancients.

Advanced Cosmic Ordering - The Secret Of Celebrities Success

0 comments
By Khristy-Belle Strand

Many celebrities have admitted that much of their success is down to 'cosmic ordering', but what is it?

Many people know this as 'the law of attraction' but cosmic ordering is far more specific than this.

Suppose for a moment that you had access to a cosmic ordering service and if you wanted something, all you had to do was think of it and it would appear before you. That would be amazing, wouldn't it? The incredible thing is that every one of us can already do this - but most of us, even with limitless options continue to choose the same thing over and over again.

It's as though you have a menu for everything in the Universe but all you can see are two lines and they're water and bread crust. You don't order anything else because you don't believe that you deserve anything else.

Imagine that you are fabulously wealthy. Picture yourself doing all of the things you've always wanted to do with no worries about anything. Imagine a permanent vacation, travelling by means of your private jet.

You would wear only the finest clothing and always look incredible. If you can visualize this and keep it in your mind for a few minutes, you are already on your way to achieving this goal. Most people have a very hard time imagining this kind of life for themselves and the idea of cosmic ordering seems like something which they will never be able to accomplish. So what is this cosmic ordering anyway?

Advanced cosmic ordering is really for the majority of people who have not yet been successful at cosmic ordering. It basically means reprogramming your subconscious mind to clear all the negative programming which you have been subjected to since you were a child.

The years of negative programming and belief that there's not enough for everyone dilutes and negates all the wonderful images that you put in your mind. Envy for another's success reinforces the fact that you don't have enough.

Belief that you don't deserve the good things in life changes our order from the cosmic ordering service as quickly as it would in a restaurant when you realize there isn't any money in your pocket.

Quantum mechanics is a branch of the sciences which has made available to us a whole new way of thinking about how the universe works. It provides a way of pondering why some people are more successful than others.

The brain emits powerful energy that can direct and change the smallest particle known to man, and those we haven't yet discovered. If a quark jumps a level, it is called a quantum leap. Just changing one level affects the structure of the atom and subsequently matter. If you could guide that change, anything is possible.

Most people don't believe that changing your mind changes your circumstances. That's because they tried it once and watched and waited, half-heartedly believing. In the laws of quantum physics, the observer changes what they observe just by watching it. If you watch a process and don't believe it works but continue on out of duty, the process never turns out the way you want. You are the observer and changed what you observed, but not in a positive way.

With the right instruction and practice, you can get anything you want from the cosmic ordering system. The ancients knew it existed, every religion emphasizes belief to make prayers come true, and yet in this enlightened world, most people listen to neither science nor religion for the answer but continue blindly down the path of poverty.

Training yourself to ask for what you want will take some work, but there are new technologies which can clear out those negative thought patterns and help you to achieve this. New technologies have given us a way to speed the process along.

Advanced cosmic ordering utilizes the recent developments in sound technology. This technology allows you to simply listen to special sound frequencies known as binaural tones which change your brainwaves to the state required for you to communicate with the universe. This is actually the same state as Buddhist monks meditate at, which usually takes years of training to achieve.

In combination with subliminal affirmations and self-hypnosis recordings, binaural sound helps you get rid of negative patterns and begin seeing results fast.

Advanced cosmic ordering can work for you. Once you master the techniques, everything you want will begin coming your way - but you'll have to work at it too.
