Goodbye SNAG, Hello Masculine Man! What is a SNAG (Sensitive New Age Guy) and What is a Masculine Man? A couple of decades ago, we all got a little 'too politically correct' and created the SNAG. Madonna added fuel to the fire with her catchy lyrics, "You know, you know you've got to make him express how he feels…maybe then you'll know your love is real." Guys got confused and out came the dozen roses and daily "I love you" comments. But it didn't work. Why? Women aren't attracted to overly-sensitive nice guys who express their feelings all the time. So, how do you attract women these days? Well, for those of you who aren't up to speed - SNAG's have been deleted from the 'wish lists' of women...

Eyes Of The Poet Radio occupies a narrow niche in the world of Internet radio. The station streams New Age and Ambient music along with audio poetry, interviews, and information about books. "The original idea behind creating the station was to give audio poetry a chance to be heard, for free, anywhere in the world," according to Brian Douthit, owner of Eyes Of The Poet Radio. Poetry isn't one of those high-demand, blockbuster sellers that consumers clamor for on a daily basis. For most people, poetry is a once in a while sampling, if they even choose to listen at all. Douthit chose to broadcast the audio poetry with New Age and Ambient music believing that the music wouldn't crowd out the...

But mark you,if you give up that spirituality, leaving it aside to go after the materializing civilization of the west,the result will be that in three generation you will be an extinct race; because the back-done of the nation will be broken, the foundation upon which the national edifice has been built will be undermined, and the result will be annihilation all round. Europe,the center of the manifestation of material energy, will crumble into dust within fifty years,if she is not mindful to change her position,to shift her ground and make spirituality the basis of her. And what will save Europe is the religion of the Upanishads. Our aristocratic ancestors went on trading the common masses of our...

A while back, I wrote an article that compared flower arranging to music arranging. While this may seem a world apart, it really isn't. In flower arranging, the goal is to create a pleasing whole using different flowers, colors, textures, etc. If you've ever seen a beautiful flower arrangement, you'll know what I mean. The eye takes in the various contrasts and colors and is pleased when it forms into one satisfying whole. In music the object is the same. When arranging a piece for New Age piano, we work with sections. We can label the sections (A) and (B) and then "arrange" the sections into an order. The most common order is ABA form. It has the benefits of simplicity and is a good place to start...

As a result of the raised security level in the United Kingdom and the United States, the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) has announced the following additional restrictions: Protecting the Aviation System The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will be implementing a series of security measures - some visible and some not visible - to ensure the security of the traveling public and the Nation's transportation system.

Turn back the clock a few decades to a time when fresh milk was still delivered to the doorstep's of the nation in glass bottles, when sliced bread was a recent innovation and when pop-up toasters were the height of sophistication ... back to when times were simple ... ...there was old-time-radio. Of course, we call it "old-time-radio" today but back in the 1930s, 40s and 50s, radio was the newest, most popular and powerful medium around. Radio was to the 1930s what the Internet was to the 1990s. The years between 1959 and 1962 are often referred to as the Golden Age of Radio -- and radio programs that were broadcast during that period had significantly more variety than radio programming today...

The word 'radio', in older times, meant some traditional or terrestrial station whose transmission was carried via large towers on AM and FM bands. It was a small box run on electricity or battery and was often thought of as a primary source of entertainment and information. However, times have changed and so has the radio. Human beings have moved ahead and technology has advanced in leaps and bounds since then. These factors have almost made the concept of orthodox radio an outdated. However, it would be wrong to say that they have become obsolete. In fact, with the advancement of technology, the "old" radios have taken a new avatar - a new medium through which it can be transmitted to larger...

The N.Y.S. Unified Court System, in its on-line Glossary of Legal Terms (see has the following definition: Infant's compromise: a civil proceeding or motion for obtaining court approval of the settlement of an infant's claim a civil proceeding or motion for obtaining court approval of the settlement of an infant's claim. Legally, an "infant" is a person under age eighteen. In New York State, an infant's case can not be settled without the approval of a judge, not even if the parent wants to accept the settlement. This situation typically arises when the infant has a claim or lawsuit for personal injury arising out of an accident. The reason is simple: to protect the minor and keep the money safe...

The capacity to wait, despite its very ordinariness, can be a profound spiritual tool with which to dismantle the needs and pressures of both our ego and will. Important in this is the kind of waiting that takes place, for there are many kinds, and not all of them are capable of releasing the ego in a way that is beneficial to spiritual growth. The kind of waiting that is transformative is based on the capacity for surrendering our desire to have things be the way our smaller self wants them to be, if they are not in alignment with what God and our higher Self wishes. This kind of surrender that overrules one's personal interests is the opposite of what is currently popular as a path of spiritual...

Imagine for a minute that everything you see around you is not actually there. It is just for lack of a better phrase, a figment of your imagination. Could it be? The world's top scientists now think that it could. In the Sunday Times from Britain, Prof. Sir Martin Rees suggested that life in the universe and everything in it may be nothing more than a giant computer simulation. The Royal Society professor at Cambridge University says humans may simply be bits of software. In other words, we program our world the way we want it. We create our own world, just like computers create a virtual world. Prof. Rees says that over the past few decades, computers have created a virtual world with extensive...

Different styles of music have different "sounds." We can all pretty much agree on that point. For example, Jazz uses seventh chords almost exclusively. This, and the kind of chord progressions used in Jazz gives it its unique flavor. But what about new age music? Does it have it's own special ingredients? Yes it does. Now, there are no hard and fast rules here but for the most part, new age music is a consonant music. That is, there is little or noharshness going on in the music. No Saxes wailing and what not. Having said that we can eliminate most of the tense jazz chords and their voicing. So what are we left with? Mostly Major and minor chords based on the regular scales and the modes. The chord...

Let's face it. The world will not end if there isn't another new age music CD on the market. So why bother? Why play when most people don't care or want to hear the kind of music you like? The answer lies in the nature of art itself, for the world really does not need art. It can survive without painting, sculpture or music. It can survive, but it would be a pretty dreary place. But the main reason we play is not for the world but for ourselves. We must play for ourselves first and if people hear and like it fine. If not, that' s fine too. As long as we don't deprive ourselves of the enriching experience improvisation can bring. When I first started playing I wanted to create something others could...

Director Gil Kenan's MONSTER HOUSE is a welcomed release from all the other resent studio animation in that there are no singing/talking animals/cars/fish/etc. and its not about the whole "family" unit. This is actually a very fun adventure film with scares about children at that age where they must "grow up" and rely on themselves. This film is in the same vein as GOONIES or THE MONSTER SQUAD and like the former film it takes itself seriously even in the wake of a very funny story with characters whom you actually care for. I'm not a fan of the "Disney-style" animation that every other studio and there mother has been copying for the last few decades. In fact, I'd rather watch WATERSHIP DOWN, THE...

Drinking in New York is like drinking anywhere else. But Americans will expect a 15% tip according to most guides and this means, in practice, forking out a one dollar note extra every time you go to the bar. Bearing this in mind the canny drinker will go somewhere with a pleasant view, at least then he might feel he's getting his money's worth. The A60 (60 Thompson Street) is a hotel bar located on the thirteenth floor. The view over the midtown and Manhattan skyline is memorable. Another good hotel bar is the appropriately named High Bar (2 Lexington Avenue). This one's up on the eighteenth floor so definitely best to avoid stairs. The iconic Chrysler Building is prominent from here. The building...

And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. (2 Corinthians 11:14) I belong to an online Bible study and networking group. Each of us loves the Lord Jesus Christ. Although we belong to varying denominations, each of us is committed to study God's word and gain a deeper understanding of His will. A few months ago, a group member posted an inspirational poem to the message board titled, Acts of Faith. Acts of Faith is a simple, poem filled with scripture imagery- "Your crown," "children of the King," "live by grace." What could be the problem? The author of the poem is Ilyana Vanzant. Ms Vanzant is a motivational speaker, author of 18 books, has been an Oprah Winfrey regular...

In the New Testament it is taught, "Our Father who art in heaven"-- god living in the heavens separated from men. We are living on earth and He is living in heaven. Further on we find the teaching that He is a God immanent in nature; He is not only God in heaven, but on earth too. He is the God in us. In the Hindu philosophy we find a stage of the same proximity of God to us. But we do not stop there. There is the non - dualistic stage, in which man realises that the God he has been worshiping is not only the Father in heaven, and on earth, but that "I and my Father are one." He realizes in his soul that he is God Himself, only a lower expression of Him. All that is real in me is He; all that is...

As the old and overly utilized cliché goes; "Age does not matter." This statement would pertain not merely to the daily facets of everyday living but it would also be an appropriate statement for laws abhorring discrimination on the basis of age. Age has been one of the primordial considerations when it comes to employment discrimination cases. Even the Employment Act which was ordained into law in 1967 provides the ample protection afforded to individuals subjected to age discrimination. Not only would this cover employees but even those applying for a prospective position as well. The code explicitly provides that it shall be unlawful to discriminate against any person on the sole account of...

What is a SNAG (Sensitive New Age Guy), What is a Masculine Man and Which do Women Really Like?

Maruti Suzuki, Indian car market leader is growing in a big way not only domestically but also globally. The company crossed half a million mark in the cumulative exports. As the ship liner, "Goliath Leader" left Mumbai port on 28th February; carrying 1180 Maruti cars to various Latin American countries and with this Maruti Suzuki became the first carmaker in India to cross the 500,000 units of export. While Maruti Suzuki cars have already proved themselves in all five continents and among them Europe has been a popular destination with the contribution of 56% of company's cumulative exports. Netherlands with 67,700 units and Italy with over 41, 000, we also have UK (over 34,000) have been the...

Sure, you know all the lyrics to "Unchained Melody" by heart, but could you actually pen romantic love songs yourself? As prevalent as these tunes are on the Web, and as many times as you download top love songs from your favorite artists, experts say writing these types of songs is a daunting task. "Who we love, how we love, why we love are all subjects that contribute mightily to the way we experience life and yet, surprisingly, most of us understand very little about what love is," says Pamela Oland, author of 'The Art of Writing Love Songs.' "So it is trying to understand the process of falling in love, loving, falling out of love, finding new love and repeating the cycle that dominates our...

Tea is the second most popular beverage in the world, after water. Asian cultures drink gallons of green, oolong and other teas, and the Brits consume large quantities of black tea. In fact, everywhere in the world, tea is a regular part of life. In many cases, we drink tea because we like it, but as it turns out, it may be extremely healthy for us, too. Over the years there's been tons of research on the benefits of tea to our health. And, as we learn more and more, it's becoming clear that drinking tea may be one of the best things we can do to protect our health and prolong our lives. The University of Toronto Medical Journal outlines the many benefits that drinking tea can offer Prevention of...

I'm sure at one point or other you've all made or listened to jokes about driving abroad, driving round roundabouts the wrong way, etc. The reality of this can be rather more serious. It's all very well if you're hiring a car in the country you travel to, but what if you're driving your own car over to say France or another now easily accessible European country. Does your normal car insurance policy cover you? The answer in some ways is both yes and no. Yes you should be covered on the majority of policies, as under European Union law a minimum level of cover is required in all of the member countries. This however is only really about the same level of cover as a third party policy...

The term 'prolonged' can refer to a long-lasting headache episode or a prolonged period of time over which many headaches occur. Headaches alone can be quite painful but for those who experience prolonged headaches the pain can be even more distressing and exhausting. On rare occasions, a prolonged headache may also indicate a serious ailment. They sometimes will occur following skull or brain injury and can be difficult to treat. If your headaches have recently started or are abnormally intense or long lasting, it is suggested that you see your healthcare provider. Status Migraines A status migraine is a prolonged migraine headache that occurs for more than seventy-two hours. If a migraine occurs...

Today with the emergence of MP3 format, free music is no longer hard to come by. Internet is practically teeming with free MP3 music downloads for all sorts of music enthusiasts. Although there are some objections being raised on the legal issues involved with online peer-to-peer file sharing, continued patronage of free MP3 music downloads still exists in the same way. Actually MP3 is the shortcut for MPEG - ½ Audio Layer 3 and is also referred as MPG3, MPG-3, MPG Level III, and MPEG 3. In short, MP3 is the compressed and formatted copy of the original audio file. There are certain algorithms and equations used in the MP3 format that are quite similar to those used in the JPG while compressing...

On another occasion in the same Fair another man gave me a push. When I asked him the reason, he also was ashamed and stammered out an apology saying, "Why do you dress that way?" The sympathies of these men were limited within the range of their own language and their own fashion of dress. Much of the oppression of powerful nations on weaker ones is caused by this prejudice. It dries up their fellow - feeling for fellow men. That very man who asked me why I did not dress as he did and wanted to ill-treat me because of my dress may have been a very good man, a good father, and a good citizen; but the kindliness of his nature died out as soon as he saw a man in a different dress. Strangers are...

Driver distraction is a major cause of accidents. Which is why 29 states and the District of Columbia have passed laws restricting cell phone use to use with a hands-free device (no jurisdiction has an outright ban). New Jersey and Washington state have been the only states ones to ban text messaging, though 21 states are considering such bills this year. Why the legislative trend? In 2006, nearly half of the 3,580 phone-related crashes in New Jersey involved a cellular phone. Forty-five percent of fatal accidents that year also involved a hands-free device. That same year over 350 drivers were reported to be distracted by cell phones when involved in accidents on Florida roadways. But don't feel...

Looking into the situation in the current music industry, a record producer (or music producer) can have a lot of roles. Among these roles may be task like, mentoring and guiding the artist or musicians, controlling the studio recording sessions, organizing and scheduling production budget and other music resources, and obviously one of the most important jobs of the producer was the supervising of the recording, and the mixing and mastering processes. In the last 20 years the term producer has essentially taken on a new meaning in the music industry. More and more producers are taking a more entrepreneurial role or approach to the music business. This role has been enhanced part because of the...

Attention Deficit Disorder presents different challenges to different people. Some of us have the most trouble focusing and concentrating, while some of us have great difficulty regulating emotion. Whatever your greatest challenge is, there is one sure-fire way to be successful in spite of it: the ability to be resilient. Miriam-Webster online defines resilience as "an ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change." Applying this to adults with ADD, we might adjust the definition to "an ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune, change, setbacks, challenges, and failure." In order to be successful adults with ADD, we have to accept the undeniable fact that we will...

The Legal Industry & Information Technology Like all other industries, the legal industry is not insulated from the tremendous changes in information technology over the past decade, and the challenges and opportunities it presents. If anything, the changes have more bearing on law firms & departments because information management is at the core of what they do - consulting with clients, colleagues or experts; increasing compliance & regulation demands, wading through a constantly expanding sea of legislation and case law; managing outsourcing partners; keeping abreast with latest developments; or managing a mountain of matter files. Recent Trends Perhaps the most significant change in the legal...
