| Article Title :: Top 7 Don'ts for Successful Improvisation |
| |
| 1. Don't try and make something happen. Trying blocks the creative flow and will result in blocks.2. Don't expect to create something good. Expectations will always come with judgements and, consequently, you'll end up feeling let down.3. Don't worry about what is "coming out." Improvisation is about play and freedom to explore.

This may seem obvious but don't underestimate the strong need to please - ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO THE ARTS!5. Don't try and accumulate a "lot of knowledge."

| Article Title :: Micheal Jackson |

| I bet your wondering all about the Micheal Jackson Trail. Do you think he's guilty. All of us are entitled to have different opinions. I believe Micheal Jackson isn't guilty, because not enough evidence was shown during the trial.The child who had cancer switched up his stories so many times you don't know what to believe any more. If there is some one to blame I believe the parents that allow their children to spend the night at Micheal's home should be arrested.It's like me having cancer(I really do)and asking my mother for "Make A Wish Foundation" to grant my wish for me to meet R.Kelly. Which will be a definite no no no.If a parent here's all these allegations aga (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Liberate your iPod |
| |
| When Akio Morita came up with the idea of the Sony Walkman all of his colleagues at the thought he was completely insane. The general consensus was that people wouldn’t want to walk around the streets wearing headphones. Everyone thought the idea was ludicrous and that it would never catch on.That was in the late 1970s. By the early 1980s Morita’s vision had proved inspirational. The Sony Walkman became the iPod of the day and it was hard to walk down a street, travel on a train or sit in a waiting room without seeing someone with a pair of headphones on. And this wasn’t just restricted to trendy young things. Middle aged people and elderly people also got the Walkman bug. (read full article) |

| While Richard Nixon’s diplomatic visit to China may have created a minor thaw in Sino-US relations, he was not the first President to try to get in sync with the Chinese. Thomas Jefferson preceded him by close to two centuries.Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States, happened to be (in contrast to the current US President) an intelligent man, amazing inventor and, as DNA tests have shown, most likely a randy advocate of miscegenation. We now may envision that when the Continental Congress celebrated Thanksgiving together, which type of meat – light or dark - Jefferson put on his plate.Now if you look at the tails side of a nickel, you can see a pic (read full article) |
