Songs That Will Never Win A Grammy
(ContentDesk) July 6, 2005 -- The very unknown, very unpopular and very uncommercial RockPopJazzClassical group "the primeTime sublime Community Orchestra" (pTsCO) wants to be famous. They've tried everything: dressed up in weird costumes, smashed their violins on stage, dated famous actresses and even appeared in a sex video.
After 2 minor selling albums and performances in empty concert halls around the world, the pTsCO have released their 3rd CD "Songs That Will Never Win A Grammy". The album is sure to be ignored by The New York Times and all the other major publications, radio and media outlets.Utilizing the latest voice synthesis technology developed by AT&T and the Yamaha Corporation, all of the songs on the new CD are sung by a computer. "Songs That Will Never Win A Grammy" is an eclectic mix of pop songs and soundbites with contributions by Richard Nixon, Hillary Clinton, both George Bushes, and other celebrities.
From the majestic opening of "Curb Your God" which features 7 different digital singers (and one very out-of-tune human singer), to the singing cockroach on "Rainbow Seeds of Mass Destruction", the vocals sound as if by human performers not a machine.And there are some instrumental tunes for people who hate pop music too.Most of the record stores on planet earth would not want to have "Songs That Will Never Win A Grammy".
But if anybody cares, it is available at Tower Records and CDBaby.com.Contact:http://www.primetimesublime.com:

July Garden Chores
It's getting hotter every day or so it seems. There are still some things that can be done in the garden even at this time of year. Below are a few gardening tips for those that love the summer warmth. For you who aren't particularly appreciative of the hot hot, then do your gardening chores early in the morning.As the flowers in your garden start to fade, you should see seed pods begin to appear. What does this mean as far as the plant's growth is concerned? How does it affect the appearance of your garden?It means that the plant puts most of its resources towards the seeds and creating them.
If the seed pods are allowed to remain, the plant will not continue to give you flowers like it would if the seeds were removed once the flowers go by. You could end up with a garden with lots of seeds and few blooms. This of course, depends on many factors. Therefore, faded flowers should be cut off. You can go around every day as you go about youyr gardening with some type of trimmers...

Don?t Pull Up The Seeds When You?ve Just Sown Them
Why is it that 95% of people who set themselves goals fail to reach them? In one word: impatience.
The most important and difficult stage of goal-building is the immediate stage after you set your goals. In the first stage, there's a brief blip of euphoria. But this soon passes and then you hit the arid plateau of learning. It's in this phase that most people lose their way and give up.
But this is the phase when you have to hang in there despite appearances. Otherwise, it's like digging up the seeds a week after sowing them.
So, here, for those who need a roadmap through the arid plains of goal-building, is a 6-step guide to managing your impatience and keeping your plans on track.
1. Have Plenty of Motivation Reminders. One of the cruel tricks that life plays on us is to make goal-setting easy and goal-building hard. This is no more true than in the opening phases of working towards a new goal. When we choose a new goal that...

Getting Old or a New Beginning. Some Suggestions for Your Mid-Life Crisis
Copyright 2006 Douglas Alp
Mid-life is a period in time usually around the age of 40 that one starts asking what is the meaning of life,
who am I, and what am I doing here on this planet.
It is also a time where we start seeing our bodies changing a little.
We may start noticing a little extra weight, our skin sagging or wrinkling and we realize that we don't have the energy we used to.
At the same time we are somewhat in denial of the fact that we are aging and are wondering about the quality of life and thinking "what will I do with the rest of my life".
Many issues arise such as not being happy with ones lifestyle, job, health and relationships.
We start questioning decisions that we have made in the past.
We seem to be a little board with the way things are and are looking for some kind of change to once again provide the excitement we had at a younger age.
We think this can't be all there is....

Can Chinese Medicine Help You Quit Smoking?
Addiction is now the biggest preventable killer in Britain, causing 150,000 deaths a year (120,000 tobacco related, 33,000 alcohol related and 1,700 drugs related).
How can Chinese medicine help with addiction?
Chinese medicine has beneficial effects on addiction to various substances. The most commonly treated addictions at AcuMedic clinics are smoking and alcoholism.
Smoking has a detrimental impact on all major systems of the human body, in particular, the circulatory, respiratory and digestive systems. In Chinese medical theory, smoking weakens the Lung's function of commanding the overall movement of Qi, Blood and Meridians, by creating Heat in the Lung and Stomach, which in turn will cause Fire in the Heart and/or stagnation of Liver Qi, hence withdrawal symptoms such as nausea, palpitations, mood swings and restlessness occur.
Chinese medicine can reduce the craving for cigarettes. Studies show that patients...

How to use flax seed
You can eat whole flax seeds but you need to chew them good to break them up. Your stomach will not dissolve whole flax seeds and many of them will come out in your stools. Chew about a tablespoon in the morning. Then drink 8 oz of water. Make sure if you chew flax seeds that you drink water since the seed expand and become gelatinous.There are brown and golden colored flax seeds.
The golden cost more but there is not difference in their nutritional value.You can grind them up in a grinder and add them to your smoothies. It is best not to use them in any cooking recipes. Heat destroys the value of the flax oil and makes it toxic. I don't recommend you buy ground up flax seeds as found on websites or in health food stores. Once you grind your flax seeds, you need to use them in your drinks or food soon after grinding so they don't lose their nutritive value.
Even though Nutri Flax, ground up flax seed, is packaged so the flax seeds don't see light or oxygen, what happens...
