Onemusic - Orwellian Country Music 2005 Prediction
Note: You're probably wondering howI got started on this "Orwellian Music Theme".Well, it began very easily... I was watchinga commercial, for Nike maybe. There were theseold folks dancing "polka style" to hip-hop music.Later, some break dancers were wearing cowboy hatsand jammin' to a banjo.Cute. Entertaining.Until Tim McGraw hit the hip-hop scene.Mustard hit the windshield.This ain't no joke > it's happening.On with the story. ----------- (Quote) A music dies when it becomesa parody of itself, which has happenedto some extent with rock...---Chet Atkins, Dec.
15, 1974 People MagazineThirty years later, we see rock artistslike Kid Rock cross into country, and Tim McGraw ventures onto the hip-hop scene.I believe, (and you may or may not agree), the music industry as a whole is in turmoil. Companies, artists, and groups jockeying for position in a rapidly changing digital world.This I can predict... the music industry consolidate and attempt to widen their appeal and shock the public. Top artists will increasingly cross boundaries. Will it all be one music...

Shareholders meeting changing with times
A significant number of corporations that settled accounts in the past year are ready to hold their annual shareholders meetings. In this year's meetings, more than 300 companies plan as their main focus of attention defense measures against hostile takeover bids. Interestingly, more companies have introduced systems to allow shareholders to vote via the internet and cell phones to accommodate the new means, and will hold shareholders meetings on different dates from other firms. This year also has seen firms more desperate to secure long-term stockholders by placing more importance on the interests of shareholders. According to a Forbes magazine survey, among the more than 130 companies considering defensive measures against corporate takeovers, ten may introduce the so-called poison pill defense of issuing share warrants to counter such actions.
Also, 90 of those firms plan to propose revisions of their corporate charters to expand possible issuance of authorized stocks at this...

How to Plan a Vacations of the Mind
Part 1Recently, in a women's therapy group that I run, the desire for fun and a change of pace over took me. I suggested that we deviate from some of our typical work and instead go around the room imagining a vacation treat designed to suit each woman's desires.It was fascinating to see how many marvelous vacation ideas quickly emerged. One woman wished to go to Mexico and South America to view the ruins and lie on the sun in beautiful beaches. Another woman wished to go to Greece and see the ancient ruins there and then slowly make her way through Europe. This could take a leisurely period of time, perhaps even a year.
Another also wanted to go to Europe but to do other things, such as take gourmet cooking classes in the South of France and become somewhat fluent in several languages. Another woman opted for spas and other experiences to bring vitality to her body and ultimately her spirit. One person was in reality making plans to go to several meditative retreats over the...

Caught in the Camera Eye
Caught in the Camera EyeBy: a Production of:HeartlandOutdoorsman.Com I recently received an interesting question in a photography email group that I subscribe to, and felt compelled to share it with fellow Notebook readers.It read basically like this: ?I am interested in knowing what purposes all of you feel photography serves. In other words, what place in your heart does photography fill??A rather simple question at first glance- or so I thought.As I began to sort out the reasons I enjoy photographing the outdoors, it occurred to me that the camera in itself is one of the most powerful tools we have at our disposal when it comes to preserving our country?s natural heritage.The inspiration that photography provides in people makes it a medium unlike any other.Whether you decide to share your works with friends and family or broadcast them far and wide, the fact remains that our natural areas are indeed being preserved in one way or another....

Secrets to Working and Pumping
When I had my first son I hadn't planned to go back to work.
I suddenly had to return to the workforce when he was three months old.
I was completely unprepared and my son went from an exclusively breastfeeding baby to a mostly formula baby within a short period of time.
I learned a lot from my experience with him and was much more prepared when I had my daughter.
I was able to exclusively breastfeed her and work full time.
Because of what I went through, the emotions of trying to pump enough milk for the next day, I wanted to gather up all my tips and write them down for others to use.
I hope that you find these tips helpful.1. Plan ahead if possible.
Get a freezer stash going before you go back to work.2. Do not just pump at work.
Pump at home on your days off and before and after work.3. Pump while nursing.
Pump on one side while nursing on the other.4. Find a good place to pump, where you are comfortable...
