		<description><![CDATA[Personal finance is important, especially in economic slumps. Whether you are an in-debt college student considering student loans or a successful business owner with a sum of unspent funds, you need to keep watch over your money. Making money is something altogether a different subject, but once you have it you should let it work for you. Having it sit in the bank without earning interest over time does you little good. Inevitable inflation makes your cash lass valuable than if you were to spend it as soon as you got it. Instead of wasting more hours of your life at work, employ your money to earn on its own. A safe and easy solution that does the job for you is to take advantage of compounding interest through an insured high-yield online savings account. This is a small step that could give you results while keeping your money liquid without any risk or fees. Initially EmigrantDirect was a leader in offering the greatest yield with the least hassles. They have since dropped their rates below the other online competitors, making them not as appealing. E*trade has stuck in the top percent of better rates, but their service hasn&#8217;t rated [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Any of the new musicians with a guitar that consider themselves folk artists might not have ever listened to music from real old folks. I have nothing against the newer, acoustically pretty sound that is called folk today, but I figured I&#8217;d bring things into better view to see where folk music comes from- everywhere and everywhen. I am no purist but I like the dawn of recorded sound and the culture that it documented. It&#8217;s a school for the recreational song lover; it&#8217;s a leisure education of musical entertainment. Back when folk was revived in the 50s and 60s, there existed a man named Harry Smith who compiled a set of 78s for an album on Folkways Records. Almost anybody who was anybody had heard the songs or at least a few. The compilation became sort of a bible of folks songs that would spread the folk scene. I have not heard the whole collection, but I am aware of a good handful of the tunage. In fact, seven ancient tracks are available on the Internet Archive for your mp3 needs. Wikipedia has the recordings on the bottom of the entry of the anthology. Continue your collection with Lead [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. has laws and the laws enforce and prohibit certain activities and protect certain rights. It gets tricky, even if you are a lawyer because some instances and cases have not been settled in court or defined explicitly in an Act or law. For instance, did you know that each recording device sold requires the company to pay a royalty fee to the Copyright Office four times a year per item? Yes. The Audio Home Recording Act mandates royalties and does &#8220;other stuff.&#8221; The issue here though is infringement, meaning you are violating copyright by copying digital audio in certain cases. XM got in trouble for &#8220;distributing&#8221; music with XM+MP3 devices. The problem was that they did not have a license to produce permanent copies of mp3s from XM songs. Along the same lines is the VCR: Are they illegal then? No. No recording device is really illegal unless you are a company selling it without the right license. As a consumer of the product, you can&#8217;t get arrested for owning a cassette recorder. The key issue to remember is that fair use entitles you to limited rights to handle copyrighted material. You can&#8217;t do just anything even if [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before I get criticized for using the word hallucination, I&#8217;d like to point out that illusion and hallucination are different, but they share a bit in common. The first (illusion) meaning you perceive something the wrong way, and the latter meaning you have a vision of something without any sightly cause to promote it (a green ghost from a blank white wall). I&#8217;ll also point out that a hallucination will probably have some visual stimulus that may influence what exactly you hallucinate. Even when eyes are closed they still perceive darkness. If outside on a sunny day with your eyes shut, you can still see light reflecting on your eyelids, making a lesser darkness than eyes closed in the dark. It is my opinion that illusions are subtle differences that come from undecipherable stimuli, and more imaginative illusions are deemed hallucinations in the presence of more subtle things or atmosphere. Foreword: None of these require 3D glasses (the Red/Blue shades for Anaglyph images) Begin the Tripping Autostereograms are the common single picture optical illusions where you start close up and cross-eyed and move back and start to see depth. A name often associated with this is &#8220;Magic Eye&#8221; although they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most people know the guitar driven riff of &#8220;Misirlou&#8221; from Pulp Fiction, and others know it as being a song played by all the hot surf bands with Dick Dale being the first in the wave of &#8217;60s bands. The truth is it goes way back at least to the 1920s. Michalis Patrinos is said to have performed the rebetiko in 1927, and a recording exists from around 1930. Richard Spotwood’s Ethnic Music on Records, Volume 3: Eastern Europe lists a recording by Tetos Demetriades for Victor in 1927. [source] Across wikipedia and other sites are several versions of the song: Tetos Dimitriadis unknown date, possibly 1927. Michalis Patrinos about 1930. Other later recorded mp3s at the end of this post. (same as above source link) US Air Force Band The Strolling Strings, 2004. (other unrelated mp3s to check out too)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know why I&#8217;m posting this other than the potential this could have. DRAM looks like an awesome resource for any fan of American music. Listen to unlimited CD quality recordings, view complete liner notes, and educate yourself on lesser known music that is largely ignored by the commercial recording companies from Earl Hines to interpretations of Miles Davis songs. The drawback is you need to be enrolled in a subscribed college to get access to all of this. Chances are there are no students willing to share their passwords either. I guess the thousands of songs will stay locked from the public&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Can&#8217;t go to sleep? Want to be in bed earlier, but it&#8217;s impossible? I know what it&#8217;s like. I can usually stay asleep, but initiating sleep at the right times is a hassle sometimes. Whether for school or work or peace of mind, we all need rest that is compatible with our schedules. It&#8217;s common to break out of a sleep cycle even if it&#8217;s not jet lag. We are not equipped with a body that strictly follows the earth&#8217;s rotation that makes day and night. We can be in better tune with appropriate sleep habits with a handful of potential aids. Dietary Tips Tryptophan is an amino acid that aids in sleep with increase brain levels of serotonin and/or melatonin. Melatonin is a natural hormone that manages your circadian rhythm. Turkey is the most common suggestion for tryptophan, but other meats contain it as well. Even milk contains small traces of it, as well as calcium, which supposedly helps the brain use the tryptophan to manufacture melatonin. Melatonin also comes in a supplement. If you are to take it for the first time, use a small quantity (Even split the pill if you can). Another thing to think about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Remember the Music From the Adventures of Pete &#038; Pete? I sure do. While I like the Nickelodeon show, the music stands on its own. The mastermind behind the theme song is Mark Mulcahy. I&#8217;m sure you never heard of him (unless you searched for him specifically). Due to a missing member, they renamed Miracle Legion to Polaris for the Nick project. They can be seen playing during the opening scene of the show and they make a episode appearance with their music being an integral part of the episode. Although Miracle Legion, Polaris, and Mark Mulcahy never had a huge following, he has his share of admirers. Thom Yorke [Radiohead] dedicated a song to him during a show. R.E.M.&#8217;s Michael Stipe asked him to play with him after he had written a song for Stipe. Miracle Legion began in the &#8217;80s, Polaris in the 90&#8242;s, and Mark continues today. While I haven&#8217;t seen as much brilliance in his more recent material, I haven&#8217;t invested in his solo albums. All I&#8217;ve heard are 30 second clips and a few mp3s from his very own record label, Mezzotint. Rhythm section Scott Boutier and Dave McCaffrey who can be heard on Drenched [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have given a lot of thought lately about antiperspirant. Most people don&#8217;t give it any thought and others might have some shifty knowledge about it. I&#8217;m the person that enjoys new information and likes to learn. Unfortunately, there are certain things I&#8217;d like to know about but lacks no definitive information. What I was able to find is rather interesting though. This is my educational discovery I&#8217;d like to share with you&#8230; My first stop is at wikipedia where there is no article about antiperspirant (it&#8217;s part of the Deodorant entry). Here are the main things I found by doing an ounce of research: All anti-perspirants are considered drugs by the FDA. All antiperspirants are aluminum-based, and work by clogging the duct of the sweat gland. So the opening swells because the aluminum ions interact with the electrolytes/water in the cells. When the quantity of water matches the amount blocking with the aluminum there is equilibrium, and soon the fluid passes back out and unswells and you go back to sweating. Cancer Controversy. The fear came from the idea that toxins would stay in the body instead of being sweat out. There is nothing scientifically to support this, but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every now and then I am going to review an obscure, rare, or under appreciated piece of music that can be found in discount racks or elsewhere for dirt cheap. Think of these as Amazon steals (but nothing illegal), complete with personal notes or cool background info. This first one I&#8217;d like to share is Heartbreak Town by the band, The Stand. Right now it&#8217;s going for $0.46. You can tell how unknown this is because Amazon didn&#8217;t even give it an artist. The picture and everything is correct though. This is the second release they put out. Three were released on the Wonderland label: 1989 &#8211; The Stand 1990 &#8211; Heartbreak Town 1992 &#8211; In Three Days The only other album for sale online is In Three Days. I did a search to see if they made anything afterwards because Amazon lists other Audio CDs under the name Stand. There is another band called STAND that started around in the 2000s, but they are unrelated. The Stand that I&#8217;m talking about came out of Canada and the lead singer was Tony Valenziano. The funny thing was I purchased this thinking it was somehow related to Altar Boys. I was [...]]]></description>
