Bonding with the Universe.

As parents, we often worry about what our children are getting excited about.  We hope we can guide them to “bond” with healthy things like a love of learning, of family and of healthy social activities.  But we also worry they will bond with the wrong people like internet stalkers or the wrong crowd at school.  Wouldn’t it be great if we could harness that tremendous energy and desire to latch onto something and bond with it and help our children “bond” with the universe through a love of astronomy?

Kids love to get excited about what you are excited about.  So there lots of ways you can “spring” the fun of astronomy on them that will jump start them on a long and happy exploration of the hobby of astronomy.  Here are a few to get your imagination going.

*    Work it into an evening in the backyard.  If you know the night sky will be particularly exciting the night of a big family barbecue, plan to have some blankets out there.  Then as everybody else is playing Frisbee, just lay out a blanket, lay flat on your back and start staring up into the sky with a binoculars.  Like the old prank of staring at a far away spot to get people’s interest, your kids will see what you are doing and what to know what is going on.  As you let them take a peek, their curiosity will take off like a wild fire and they are hooked.

*    A surprise visit to the country.  Sometimes it is hard to see the vast display of stars from within the city.  So if you announce that you are going to show them a surprise one night and have them pile into the car, their curiosity will be going wild as you leave the city.  When you find that quiet park, field or lake side spot, all you have to do is point up and say “just look” and the magnificence of the night sky will do the rest.

*    A special Christmas gift.  You can buy your children an affordable and durable beginner’s telescope along with some easy star maps written just for kids.  Imagine when they open this exciting gift and want to know how to use it.  Don’t be surprised if you are setting up the new telescope in the snow to show them the great things they will see in the cosmos with the gift that Santa wanted them to have.  The gift of astronomy.

*    Unleash the power of a meteor shower on them.  You can keep your eye on the events that are predicted for the sky watchers in your area.  When the next big meteor shower is about to explode over your area, watch the weather for a clear night and get your kids excited about what they are about to see.  As the lights begin to go off over head and you create fun and interesting narration to this dramatic display, the children will be addicts for life for the great experiences that can be had as students of astronomy.

*    Plan a surprise event in with something you are already doing.  For example, on vacation, you can plan your route on a cross country trip to bring you within visiting distance of one of the great multimillion dollar telescopes in this country.  By contacting them ahead of time, you can be sure they are conducting a tour that coincides with your visit.  Just imagine if they can look up at a telescope that is bigger than their house and maybe look through the eyepiece as some amazing cosmic sight, it will be the hit of the vacation.

Astronomy is a great activity to introduce on a family camping trip.  As the family sits around the fire after a fun night of camping, all you have to do is just look up and go “Wow, look at that!” When those little heads look up, they will look back down changed children, children in love with the stars.

Astronomy is a healthy passion for your kids and one they can grow with their entire lives.  And there is probably no better gift you can give them than the love of the stars, of science and of nature that is all wrapped up together when your kids bond with the universe through astronomy.

The Invicta Watch group is a Swiss company that was founded in 1937 in La Chaux-de-fonds by Raphael Picard (not a relative of Jean-Luc Picard from Star-Trek the Next Generation).  The company was run by his descendants until the 1970’s when an investment company in the United States purchased the company.  They still produce great watches.

The Great Look Of An Invicta Watch
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Samantha_Kay]Samantha Kay

The new boss in the office is wearing a fantastic looking watch and you really want to find out the manufacturer of it, but you do not want to appear to be trying to impress him.  You keep glancing at the atch hoping to make out the name and you finally realize that it is an Invicta watch.  You have heard of them before, but you had never seen one that looks as good as this one.

How do you now go out and get yourself an Invicta watch without appearing to be mimicking the new boss.  Well, you have to nothing to worry about since they make hundreds of different styles and models of their famous timepieces.

The Invicta Watch group is a Swiss company that was founded in 1937 in La Chaux-de-fonds by Raphael Picard (not a relative of Jean-Luc Picard from Star-Trek the Next Generation).  The company was run by his descendants until the 1970’s when an investment company in the United States purchased the company.  They still produce great watches.

Today, the company has expanded its territory and the watches are made both in Switzerland, Japan and United States.  They are usually labeled by the country of origin such as Swiss Movement or Japan Movement when sold.

With competition in the watch industry being so intense, the Invicta Watch Group has begun to appear on television selling their products.  In particular, they appear on the ShopNBC programs where they have an opportunity to show and describe their watches and people can call in and purchase them.  In fact, there are over 1,950 different watches for both men and women.

If you are lucky enough to own an Invicta watch that was made in the 1940s and that belonged to your grandfather, you may have a priceless heirloom.  While it may be worth a lot of money, the real value is in the history of the watch in the family.  Knowing that your grandfather used it to keep track of the time and then passed it on to your father, who has now given it to you makes it valuable.

It might look old, but it is.  Your Invicta watch was meant to be used and enjoyed.  Not locked up in a safety deposit box or stuck in the back of a drawer.  If it is a pocket watch, go out and invest in a nice chain.  Either way, you can take it to a watch repair shop at the local shopping mall and have the inside of the watch inspected to make sure that everything is okay.

You can have it cleaned and if necessary, have a new crystal put on it.  Now, it ready for you to use and enjoy.  Think about the stories you will be able to tell you son about the history of the watch and see the wonder in his eyes.  And, you can tell him how ’someday’ the watch will belong to him-for him to treasure, use and to pass on again to his son.

The rise of social networking sites has allowed Internet users to connect with their friends and make new ones. These sites even allow users to share their musical preferences with their contacts. The current generation of social networking sites, such as MySpace and Facebook, allows users to add music to their individual profiles and share this with their network. If you’d like to add your favorite song to your profile, all of the information you need to do so can be found in this guide. In particular this guide lists the precise instructions for adding music to your MySpace and Facebook profiles.

How to Add Music to MySpace, Facebook, and Other Social Networks
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Dan_O]Dan O

The two most popular social networking sites, MySpace and Facebook, both use different methods adding music to your profile. Follow the step-by-step instructions listed here and you’ll have your favorite jams embedded into your social network site profile in no time!

Add Music to Myspace

Adding music to MySpace is pretty simple, as the site has a built-in function for sharing music.

1. First things first, log-in to MySpace and access your profile.

2. Once in your profile, click on the “Music” link. You’ll be taken to the MySpace Music page, where you can search for the background music you’re looking for.

* A multitude of genres are represented, and there are options to search by artist profile (even allowing you to search by the artist’s country, or even state), song title, etc.

* There are also options to see the top artists, music videos, and featured play lists. You can check these out too. Featured play lists are a feature that allows you to see (and listen!) to what your favorite artists and celebrities are listening to.

3. From the search results, you can play the song, add it to your profile or to a play list, or purchase the song from AmazonMP3 (the download partner of MySpace).

* If you selected an artist’s page among the results, you can click on them to see their page, and play, add, or purchase their music from there.

4. Now you’ve got the song added to your profile, so when people check out your MySpace page, they can listen to the play lists you are sharing!

Add Music to Facebook

Facebook, on the other hand, does it a little differently. You’ll have to add a music application, such as iLike, or Last.fm, in order to play music. But it’s also pretty easy! We’ll be using iLike as the main example, as it’s also the most popular music app on Facebook.

1. From your Facebook home page, use the search function to look for the music app of your choice, or go directly to the app’s profile page (if you know what you want to use already). iLike and Last.fm are two of the very popular choices, and they are highly recommended.

* If you’re searching for these, from the results, click “Applications” tab to see only the apps. Look for the match, and click “View Application” to be taken to the app’s profile page.

* You’ll now be taken to the app’s home page, where you can check out a brief background on the app you’re about to use. More information about it, such as user reviews and ratings, can be found on this page. When you’re ready to add the app, click the “Go to Application” button on the upper right hand side of the page.

2. Once you’ve chosen the app you want to use (you can add both if you want!), allow the app to access your profile for it to work properly.3. iLike lets you add songs, videos, and artists to your profile easily. Once you’ve added it, it asks you if you want a box to show up on your profile’s Wall or Info tab, or on your Boxes tab.

* Regardless of where you want it on your profile (you can also add a separate Music tab if you want), you can easily search for, and add music and artists to your profile!

* The music will be shared with your network, and anyone who visits your profile or the appropriate box can play the music, add it to their own iLike, and even purchase the song from Amazon or iTunes.

4. Using iLike’s search function, you can look for your favorite artists. The search results easily display tracks and videos from that artist, which you and your network can play, add to iLike, or purchase.

5. An additional feature of iLike is the ability to “dedicate” a song to people in your network. Simple click “Dedicate,” and follow the instructions to dedicate that track.
iLike also has several other useful features:

* The Concerts tab shows you a calendar with the schedule of gigs of your favourite artists (or your friends’ favourite artists)

* The Charts tab reflect what music is most popular on Facebook, on iLike.com, and also among users of the iLike Sidebar for iTunes/Windows Media Player, so you can see what a lot of people are listening to!

* The Free MP3s tab gives down loadable music from unsigned artists matched to your favorite artists based on the community rating system on GarageBand.com, so you can discover new music

* Quizzes are a platform for users to test their music know-how, with various topics like “name that band” quizzes, genre quizzes, etc.

5. Now that you’ve added this app to your profile, play around with it and share and discover new music with your network. Tinker around with the other customizations available, and enjoy the music!

Adding music to your social networking site is a great way to make your musical preferences known to your entire network and to make new friends who share the same taste in music as you. Simply follow the instructions provided in this guide and you’ll find that adding music to your MySpace and Facebook profile is a breeze.

Can Music Affect Your Behavior? The Answer Revealed!
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Michael_Lee]Michael Lee

Music has always been known to evoke different feelings in people. But can music go so far as to affect your behavior? That is the ultimate question, I suppose. A lot of people now are really interested in the power of music and how they can reap its benefits and avoid its disadvantages. After all, if you think music can help you improve your performance at work or help your children calm down, then there's no harm in trying, right?

But how much is truth and how much is speculation? Can music affect your behavior? Read more to find out.

Not so much music as it is environment.

Before we delve into the question of whether music can affect your behavior or not, it's best to get some things out of the way.

For years, there have been speculations about the relationship between certain types of music and certain types of people. It is often said that those who like to listen to rap will be more inclined to inflict violence on others. Those who listen to rock and heavy metal will be more inclined to inflict violence upon themselves.

However, isn't it important to note that sometimes, certain types of people already are the way they are even before they choose to listen to a certain type of music? To be quite frank, it's not so much rap that induces violent behavior in people but their environment.

Kids who grew up in hostile situations are more likely to blend in. Kids who have a depressing home situation are more likely to entertain suicidal thoughts.

Music as therapy

So, can music affect your behavior? Scientific studies have revealed no direct relationship between the two. Music has always been a great way to express oneself.

When you're feeling angry, you listen to loud, angry music and sing along to the lyrics. When you're sad, you put on angst-filled melodies and cry yourself to sleep. Sometimes, music is just that-a means of letting your emotions run free.

Of course, music also tends to put you in different moods. A nice classic piece might make you feel romantic. Soft, instrumental songs can make you feel more calm. To a certain extent, music can change your mood, but not your behavior.

Other special properties of music

Some kinds of music do have extra special qualities. For example, a lot of parents like to make their children listen to Mozart because studies showed that it improves concentration. What is it about this classical composer that helps people become smarter and more talented?

The answer is not that Mozart's music changes behavior but that its different range of notes and the way some themes are repeated helps the brain function better.

So can music really affect behavior? As far as today's researches go, not so much.

Have you recently bought a new Zune player and are itching to download music for Zune? But you simply do not know where is the best place to get that “S.O.S” by Jonas Brothers and “Bubbly” by Colbie Caillat. This entire article is written to show you the entire process to download music onto your digital portable player as well as where are the places owners like you download music at the most reasonable prices.

Download Music for Zune - Unlimited Zune Downloads to Listen

Have you recently bought a new Zune player and are itching to download music for Zune? But you simply do not know where is the best place to get that “S.O.S” by Jonas Brothers and “Bubbly” by Colbie Caillat. This entire article is written to show you the entire process to download music onto your digital portable player as well as where are the places owners like you get their Zune music downloads at the most reasonable prices.

You perhaps already know that you can find movies, music, videos and games for your player at iTunes and Microsoft’s Zune marketplace and other online music stores like Amazon, HMV and more. At the marketplace, you can access millions of songs. For the price conscious, the price tag of $0.99 to $2 over for a piece of song at any of these music stores can really be a turn-off. Imagine how much it would cost to acquire hundreds of songs for your music collection?

Another option which is quite popular are the free download services. While these are generally free and you can download music for Zune to your heart’s content, you are also exposing your PC to the adware and spyware that comes attached with the music downloads. The extent of damage to your computer may be pretty bad when you realize that your computer is slower.

There is a safe option to transfer songs to your digital portable player. Similar to any other MP3 players, you can rip songs from a CD and synchronize that onto your player. If you are familiar with music ripping, you should be quite comfortable to download music for Zune in this manner.

The process starts first when you open a media player like Windows Media Player. Insert the CD and select the songs or soundtracks you wish to download. Next, click on the Rip button. You should see the song list appearing in the Windows Media Player library. Using the USB cable, connect your player to your PC and your player would synchronize with the Windows Media Player library to download music for Zune.

Even if the player is not syncing well, it is fine. You can simply copy the music files manually onto your player and it would work just fine except for the extra step. On your windows explorer, you would always see your digital portable player as an additional drive. Be sure to download to it correctly.

Many first-timers do not know that the file formats for your music are important. It can only support compatible formats like MP3, MP4, MOV, WMV and WMA and not other formats. Some examples of unsupported formats are DivX and RM.

Another alternative you have to download music for Zune is the paid membership services. This is one hot favourite among music lovers nowadays since you can find millions of downloads, pretty much unlimited downloads of songs, music, movies, videos and games. And the nice thing is you get all these for a flat fee. There are no limits to the bandwidth consumption and you can download at any time of the day.

I believe that by now, you should have a good grasp of where you can download music for Zune and do so affordably in a safe and secured environment. Check out my blog dedicated to music, movies and videos on which are the reliable membership sites for unlimited music and song downloads.

If you have been visiting forums or reading news updates, there have been numerous reports of infringement of copyright laws when downloading from these illegal iPod music download sites. Fortunately, there are now paid membership sites for legal iPod music downloads other than iTune. So iPod fanatics can still enjoy their music without limits - access to huge libraries of songs, both latest and oldies without compromising on the quality of the music and of course, not burning their pockets.

iPod Music Downloads - Homework To Do Before You Download Another Song
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Davion_Wong]Davion Wong

Many websites are giving away free iPod music downloads. So how true is it? Well, there are copies of songs you can technically download but I have to warn you first that the legality of most of these sites is highly questionable. If you have been visiting forums or reading news updates, there have been numerous reports of infringement of copyright laws when downloading from these illegal iPod music download sites.

Free sounds good but it is often tagged with a hefty price when you are caught doing so. Moreover, the song quality is often poor. Folks may argue that downloading at iTune is not cheap, with songs going for $0.99 per piece. Gone were the days when people would not even frown at paying for a 10-songs CD at $15 – 20.

It is pretty much a Catch-22 situation as iPod manufacturers keep packing in more memory and boosting the capacity of newer iPod models. They can hold more songs than the older generation ones, hundreds to thousands of them. iPod users, driven by their hungry urge to quickly build up a collection of songs, often then fall prey to these illegal music download sites.

Fortunately, there are now paid membership sites for legal iPod music downloads other than iTune. So iPod fanatics can still enjoy their music without limits – access to huge libraries of songs, both latest and oldies without compromising on the quality of the music and of course, not burning their pockets. This is indeed good news for us as we can have the best of both worlds.

Here is some handy information to help you do your homework when you look for an iPod music downloads site:

1. iPod Music Download Fees

This is the main reason why people are flocking to these membership sites. Most of these sites are charging for lifetime or yearly membership subscription for the cost of one nice dinner out. For that, you can have unlimited access to as many iPod music and music video downloads. There are no per download fees at all. But please do not quickly jump onto any site you come across, and be sure to look around for the best value for money.

2. Range of iPod Music Downloads

Whether you are a Pop music fan, or simply love soothing jazz music, there is a paid membership download site out there that can meet your needs. Read up on each site and find out the range and type of music they carry.

3. Wide Selection of Music Files

By this, I meant that the selection of music files must be huge enough, and they need to provide almost every song that has ever been composed. Find out if they constantly update their media library. You will be surprised that some of them even have the latest hits, and not some outdated, past hits only.

4. Easy-to-Navigate Membership Area

Is the membership area easy to navigate around? Is it easy to find the song you want? Do they provide step by step instructions on how to download the iPod music files to your iPod?

5. Downloading Speeds of iPod Music Files

Does it take forever to download a long list of songs?

6. Free Media Downloading Software Provided

Most sites provide free media downloading software so it can be considered as an industry norm. If they charge you for the software, it is time to look elsewhere. One thing you need to find out is whether their software is compatible with your system, ie what are the software system requirements?

7. Customers’ Feedback

Good customer feedback often means that the service level is excellent and should be able to meet your expectations.

8. Excellent Technical Assistance

Needless to say, you do not wish to face a situation where you are stuck and cannot find the technical support you need. Not every site is equal in this aspect even though almost everyone boasts of top-notch support service.

The above information I have shared should be sufficient for you to find a good iPod music downloads site. You may be wondering how you are going to assess and compare some of the qualities I mentioned without accessing the member’s area. Fret not, as I have done some of the legwork and would be revealing the top sites for iPod music downloads in my next article. Alternatively, you can always read up at music forums.

iPhone Music Downloads - 7 Tips to Find the Top Service for iPhone Music
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Davion_Wong]Davion Wong

iPhone owners are getting excited about loading their new gizmos with iPhone music downloads. After all, the phone-cum-digital portable media player can store up to 100 songs easily and allow a playtime of up to 24 hours of audio. This article will show you 7 hot tips to find the top service befitting of your new toy when it comes to iPhone music downloads.

1. Free or Paid

Freebie seekers probably would argue with me on this. There is nothing wrong with wanting free iPhone music downloads. Who doesn’t anyway? But the trouble is that free websites that give you music for free are often associated with exposure to viruses, spyware and adware when downloading media files there. Our phones are too new and precious and to risk exposing them to these harmful elements is a No No.

How about downloading each iPhone song for $0.99 or more at online music services like HMV, iTunes and so on? People wouldn’t mind if it is only one or two song. But if we are going to load up at least a 100 songs or soundtracks, this is going to be expensive.

There are now services that offer a lifetime membership for a flat fee of lower than $49.95 to access unlimited iPhone music downloads. These are the real gems!

2. Variety & Size of iPhone Music Library

Music lovers probably have their preferred music. You may not like pop but to another, pop may really sound heavenly. If you love all kinds of music, go with the services that offer multiple genres from Rock, Hip Hop, R&B, Classical to many unheard music genre. Several top sites now offer over 100 million media files including music videos, TV shows and even movies and games.

3. Download Interface

This is a key feature that must not be overlooked. For easy navigation, the interface must be simple to use and does not take long to search and find your music files. One way to get a rough idea is to see how professionally done the site is and to read comments of existing users.

4. Software Applications for Download and Conversion

Several of the more established services are providing free software applications required to download iPhone music as well as movie and video files. They also provide the conversion software needed to convert movies and music file formats into iPhone-compatible formats. The top services also offer you a free DVD conversion software that transfer movies from DVDs to your iPhone.

5. Fast Downloading Speeds

Make sure that the download speeds are fast. Music file sizes are about 3-4 MB per song. Assuming you are downloading 20 songs at a go, the service must not limit your bandwidth usage by slowing down the speed. This is what some poorly run B-grade services do.

6. Safe Download Environment

Some services do not provide good secured environment with a high level of security and safety when you download iPhone music downloads. The last thing you want to worry about is adware, spyware and viruses that could make their way to your computer because the music store refuses to buck up on its system architecture.

7. After-sales Customer Care and Support

Many services just want to make more money. While they promise a 24/7 technical support to entice you to join them, they are hardly around when you need them to help troubleshoot when you face difficulties. Thankfully, there are a few reputable ones who can deliver an excellent level of after-sales service.

Look around and use these tips to find a good service for your iPhone music downloads. Want to know which services score well in every aspect mentioned? Read up my [http://unlimitediphonedownloads.wise-tips.com]iPhone blog.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, which means that its time to whip up some creative treats for you and the kids. While Valentine’s Day is always associated with sweet treats such as chocolate and candy, you can create some yummy treats for the kids while still keeping it on the healthy side.

Valentine’s Day Kabobs

One way you can let the children indulge in a special Valentine’s Day treat, without losing nutritional value is by making Fruit Kabobs with Yogurt Dip. You can buy red or pink plastic skewers and then load them up with strawberries, cherries, watermelon and red seedless grapes. You can use a tiny heart shaped cookie cutter for the berries and watermelon to add to the festive look. Low-fat vanilla yogurt works well as a dip and strawberry yogurt would be perfect with your theme.

Here’s another nutritious treat idea for your favorite little Valentines. For breakfast on this special day, make heart shaped muffins. You won’t need a special muffin pan either. Just fill your muffin liners with the batter and then press a piece of tin foil, rolled to 1/2inch thick between the muffin liner and the pan to shape the muffin liner into a heart.

Here’s one that’s a bit different:

Strawberry Roll-ups

You will need: 4 (6 inch) soft tortilla shells
Low-fat Strawberry cream cheese
4 T Strawberry jam

Spread the cream cheese evenly across each tortilla. Add 1 T of strawberry jam, spread down the center. Fold in the edges of the tortilla, about two inches. Now roll the tortilla up- jelly roll style. Slice into 2-inch bites for the perfect Valentines Day snack.

Mini- Fruit Smoothies for Valentine’s Day

Little ones enjoy fruit smoothies, so why not serve them on Valentine’s Day to show your kids how much you appreciate them- in a nutritious, tasty way. They’re so easy to make, you’ll find yourself making up a batch even when it’s not a special day. Simply combine a blend of fruits in your blender, with a little fruit juice added for liquid. You can serve them in decorated Dixie cups for little hands and embellish them with cocktail umbrellas for a special touch.

In staying with the theme of the day, use mostly red fruits and juice. Strawberries and raspberries are excellent options and you can mix in bananas without changing the color scheme. Apple juice combines well with the berries for your liquid.
Jell-O Hearts- Without the Sugar and Dyes

Little ones love Jell-O, but as a Mom you stress about all that sugar and artificial coloring. Try this instead for a nutritious option:

Boil 1 cup of water, add ½ cup of grape juice and 1 packet of unflavored gelatin. Stir until dissolved. After it cools slightly, add another ½ cup of grape juice. Pour into heart shaped molds and refrigerate until firm. If you don’t have heart shaped molds, you can pour the gelatin mixture into a baking pan and then cut out heart shapes with a cookie cutter after it is firm.

These treats will add some special touches to Valentine’s Day for you and your kids. You can make them as a surprise or the children can partake in the fun!
