Sherman Oaks, California–06/06/05?Cindy Alexander has performed
with the likes of The Bacon Brothers, Suzanne Vega, Bob
Schneider, Ben Taylor, The Bangles, Edwin McCain, Marc Cohn,

more astounding than her record of accomplishment is the
incredible new album Angels & Demons. With a knock em? dead
vocal range, charismatic presence, and a D.Y.I. Indie spirit
that burns bright, this gal is carving a path for herself with
honest to goodness hard work. She does it all from running her
website, marketing music, and arranging for performances. Her
energy and attitude are contagious to everyone around her. Her
name is getting out there with more impact than ever before and
as her career gathers momentum so does her music.

2004 was not a bad year for Cindy either. She walked away with
several esteemed awards including?Songwriter of the Year ? JPF

Awards and Special Achievement Pop Artist ? L.A. Music Awards.
If this is any indication of what is in store, 2005 promises to
be a breakthrough year.

Angels & Demons features standout tracks such as ?Immortal,? a
killer track. It gets the sparks of emotions flying right from
the first note. The quirky alternate rocker ?Better When I?m
Broken? has some catchy rockin? riffs that take the listener
through the emotional ringer in the space of five minutes.
?Immortal? is a musical dance with lyrics that are very much
tuned in to the world of today. The sound and lyrical content
have hit single written all over it.

With a voice so brilliant, powerful and effortless, Cindy
Alexander is this year?s favorite to enjoy an ?overnight
success? story. This is the kind of stuff that dreams are made
of. In this case, it will be a lifetime of hard work and
perseverance reaching its fruition. The atmospheric and striking
musical canvas she paints for the listener in the music becomes
a true to life story on the first listen of Angels & Demons. We
all have our demons to conquer and Alexander has them eating her
dust while embracing her own guardian angels every step of the
way to make this a positive musical experience for herself and
anyone that is fortunate enough to hear her voice of conviction.
Angels & Demons will resonate in your mind long after the CD
stops spinning in your stereo.

Craps Online Betting

This short article aims to quickly cover some of the possible
bets when playing Craps online. It is important to
remember that it is possible to place a bet in craps, even if
you are not the shooter.

Types of Craps Online Bets:

1) Pass Line Bet: This, also known as the ?Front Line?,
and is by far the most popular and simplest bet in craps in that
you bet that the shooter wins his game. This bet can be made at
any time but is generally made before the ?Come Out? roll. A
player wins on this roll if the first dice roll is either a 7 or
11, and loses if a 2, 3 or 12 is rolled.

2) Don’t Pass Bet: This is exactly the opposite of the
above, because you bet the shooter does not win his game. This
bet is also known as the ?Back Line?.

3) Odds Bet: When the shooter establishes the point in
the ?Come Out? roll, you can place an odds bet as an option to
your Pass Line or don’t Pass wager. In this bet the casino has
absolutely no advantage because you don’t bet against it.
Basically you strengthen your ?Pass? or ?Don’t Pass? wager.

4) Come Bet: The ?Come Bet? works exactly like the ?Pass
Line? bet, but you make the bet after the point is established.
The next roll becomes the ?Come Out? roll for your bet. A ?Come
Bet? wins with 7 or 11 and loses with 2, 3 or 12. All other
rolled numbers cause your wager to be moved to that particular
number. For you to win, the point has to be re-established
before a 7 is rolled.

5) Hardways: A 4+4 is known as a Hard 4, a 5+5 as a Hard
5 etc. Collectively, all these doubles are known as the
?Hardways?. This is a place bet on one of the doubles, 2+2, 3+3,
4+4 and 5+5…Read More: href="http://www.vegas-casino-secrets.com/craps-online-betting.ht

Clown Fears - How to Prevent Clowns from being Scary

No true clown wants to scare a child. However, some children can
and do grow up with a Fear Of Clowns– the clinical name for
this is coulraphobia.

The question is, how can professional
clowns prevent children from being scared?

Before even discussing make-up, let’s look at some basics.
Remember when dealing with children, all adults are
“giant-sized” from their perspective. When interacting with
children, clowns (or other children’s entertainers) need to come
to their level physically. Get down on one knee, or sit on the
floor. Remember what it felt like to be that age.

In a related note, never force a frightened child to come by the
clown. Parents will very often try to push an obviously
frightened child to go by the clown, often for a photograph.
Something I try to do in this situation is to act frightened
myself, greatly exaggerating my “fear” while explaining to the
parents that I get really scared by little kids when they’re
frightened. This serves several purposes — it makes the clown
the scaredy cat and lets the child off the hook, it reflects the
fear to the child and allows him to be brave in comparison to
the clown, and it allows the clown to “lower himself” and raise
the child up. Of course, it also gets the message across to Mom
& Dad — when the child is ready, he or she will willingly come
by the clown, and the experience will be the happy one the
parents wanted in the first place.

(originally published at
http://www.clown-ministry.com/Articles/fear-of-a-clown.html)

Finally, think about your clown make up. Remember that the
purpose of clown make up is to amplify your own natural
features. Do not overdo your make up — remember, less is more.
You want to entertain children, not frighten them.

Compare Dish Network deals with DirecTV

/p>

DirecTV supports up to 225 channels in their broadcast. DirecTV
has exclusive rights to some sports channels, but you need to
pay an extra fee to get these channels.

Some of the sports
packages include NHL Center Ice, MLB Extra Innings, NY Yankee
Games, NBA League Pass and NFL Sunday Ticket which gives you
access to almost every NFL game.


3. Customer services comparisons between Dish Network and
DirecTV


Both Dish Network and DirecTV has a 24 hour customer service
line. As Dish Network concerns a lot about their customer
relationships and they monitor their dealers pretty well in term
of customer satisfactions. VMCSatellite, one of the online href =%22http_www.sunsatellites.comdishnetworkdirecttv.html%22 target="_blank">Dish
Network dealers, once won JD Power top customer
satisfactions within two continuos year.


4. Satellite systems warranty comparisons between Dish Network
and DirecTV


Most Dish Network dealers offers life time warranty for their
basic satellite equipments. DirecTV dealers normally provide a 2
year extended warranty from the day of activation of their
satellite systems.


5. Monthly cost comparisons between Dish Network and DirecTV


Dish Network base package starts from $19.99/mo. and DirecTV
base package starts from $29.99/mo.


No matter which one you decide to go with, you’re sure to get a
great deal with some really good service. Even though they are
both good, the continuing war of Dish Network vs Directv will
probably go on for many more years to come.

Dancing With The Stars Season Five Gets Spice Girl and More 90210 Alum

Dancing with the Stars has always attempted to bring in a good mix of celebrity “has been” contestants. In its latest season 4, it has featured a bunch of notable personalities such as Ian Ziering, Heather Mills, Billy Ray Cyrus to name a few.

Most recently, Dancing with the Stars season four has come to its end, which makes way for much buzz about the program’s fifth season.

So what can fans expect from Dancing with the Stars season 5? Apparently, execs have been eyeing to include former Spice Girl Melanie “Scary Spice”

Brown and Beverly Hills 90210 actress Tori Spelling.

Dancing with the Stars has already took in a Beverly Hills 90210 alum in its recent season four so it wouldn’t really be a surprise to learn if the execs would go for Spelling. Beverly Hills costar Jason Priestly has already expressed his sentiments in the past regarding Dancing with the Stars.

Despite his delight on watching the show and in supporting costar Ziering in his performance, he maintains that he won’t be dancing on the popular program any time soon as he is stirring away from reality based shows.

As for Spelling, it seems like she clearly sees what Ziering meant when he stressed that his participation on the show is a once in a life time opportunity that should not be put to waste, as she has already eagerly pursued the spot.

Observably, Dancing with the Stars has often featured at least one “controversial” personality every season. Last season 4, the program has included Heather Mills in the height of her divorce with Sir Paul McCartney.

In the upcoming season, many believe that “Scary Spice” will be taking Mills ‘ spot. The 32-year old pop singer and songwriter is currently going through a high profile battle with actor Eddie Murphy..About the Author

Create an Outdoor Theatre

Everybody likes a family movie night. Now imagine having a
family movie night in your own back yard! When the summer heat
is on, its often too hot in the house to relax.

When you have a
personal theatre outdoors, you can relax at night time in the
cool air as well as feel like you’re going on a mini vacation.
By following these instructions you can be on you’re way to
creating your own outdoor theatre. The first thing you will need
is a screen. You can use a large white sheet as you’re screen
and hang it on the clothes line, or anywhere else you can find.
Remember to fasten the sheet at the top as well as the bottom so
your movie isn’t disturbed by any wind. If you find using a
sheet too difficult or time consuming, you can also purchase a
free standing projection screen which will provide a higher
quality picture. Buying one of these, will of course cost you
more money, so it might not be a wise choice if you are on a
budget. Now that you’ve got you’re screen set up, you will want
to watch a movie on it. First you are going to have to purchase
a video projector. These can be pricey, but it is possible to
find discount ones that will do a reasonable job. Try looking in
the bargain finder for something cheaper if you are on a budget.
To see a movie on your screen, you are going to need a DVD
player. In order to avoid the hassle of disconnecting your home
DVD player, you can purchase a simple new one. Nowadays, those
sell for about one hundred dollars or less, which won’t be too
much of a strain on you’re pocket. Or, if you have a laptop
computer with a DVD feature, you can use this as well. For
sound, you will need a simple stereo amplifier which you could
find from an old stereo system that was used in you’re house
previously. As for speakers, it is up to you. Two simple floor
speakers will work fine, but some people prefer to add more
expensive ones or surround sound. Now you will have to plug in
your equipment by using a heavy duty extension cord with three
or four outlets. Then all you have to do is plug your extension
cord into the power outlet and plug your DVD, speakers and
amplifier in. You should use the appropriate wires and cords for
hooking all of your outdoor theatre components together. Once
you have you’re theatre set up, sit back, relax, make some food
and enjoy your own personal outdoor theatre.

Costume Ideas Like You Never Imagined For Halloween!

Halloween is quickly approaching and if you’re searching for
costume ideas, let us assist you in finding an exciting costume
for this once a year spooktacular event!

Many of your ideas may come easily from watching your favorite
movies, or you may read about the hottest trends for the
holidays in your desired magazines, and come up with a really
creative idea for a great costume character.

However, if you happen to be at a loss for a unique costume idea
this year, time’s a ticking! Don’t worry, we can offer you a
list of the newest Halloween costumes available, and add a
little twist that will make a hilarious splash for your outfit
this season.

Halloween fun starts when you create that unique costume that
everybody wonders how you came up with that concept! Many adults
and kids love to be the center of attention with the most
creative characters that no one else will have, and that’s a
tough task in itself when there are dozens of retail stores
selling the exact same Halloween costume.

The best costume tips we can offer to ensure that you don’t have
half a dozen people with the same Halloween outfit, is to try
and mix and match the costume in order to create an outrageous
combination, which will have your friends and family howling
their heads off!

Think Out Of The Costume Box To Get Those Creative, And Fun
Juices Flowing!

If you’re having a little trouble coming up with something that
will wow your party guests, remember you must think outside the
box! If you need a little push in the right direction, let us
offer you a few of our suggestions to get you started, and see
if you can expand on our outrageous Halloween tips.

Become a Vampire Baby: Just think about it for a second?
Dracula had to be born and brought into this world just like us,
so did you think he came into this world with his fancy
ensemble? Of course not, so how about taking a large blanket for
a diaper, a full-size skin tone color or light grey body tights,
cape, white face paint, blood, and a pair of fangs. Add a baby
bottle filled with deep red cranberry juice and VOILA!

Now with your baby vampire outfit ready to take on the dark
underworld of infants, we are sure you can imagine the laughs
you will get, and I bet you wouldn’t have thought that Dracula
would be getting his/her gruesome cheeks pinched so much during
the night. After your party, it’s going to be rather painful
crawling back into your coffin.

Here’s another wacky one! Cross-Dressing Darth Vader:
Find a really awful dress, preferably off-white or pink, and get
your hands on a Darth Vader mask. Now we’re sure with the
popularity of Star Wars that you will come across many Vader
costumes, but while they may be switching over to the dark side
that night, you will be flipping-over to the Darth Vader
Cross-dressing side. Come on, can’t you picture this great idea!
Going up to guests at your party and saying, “Luke, I’m really
your mother!” Ok let’s move on, maybe you’ll like our next idea!

For the adult only event, and we mean a total non-Halloween
family function (no kids allowed), the guys can consider going
as an Egotistical Scotsman! Order a Highlander costume
complete with the plaid skirt and all the accessories. Now we’re
sure you’re actually wondering what is the major difference from
another Scottish costume.

Here’s the twist, you go out and purchase a skin tone color
stocking and fill it with foam, tie off the tip to give it the,
well, you know what look we’re talking about! Then wrap it
around your waist, letting it hang just long enough for it to be
showing slightly below your skirt. Who’s the king of Scotland
now! For the men that still don’t get what I’m trying to explain
here, talk to your better halves or your mother, they can help
you!

Of course we are not going to leave the women’s costume ideas
out, but it was a little more difficult coming up with a twisted
thought for the ladies. So here we go!

Female Hugh Hefner: It’s time to turn the tables, and we
know it’s not difficult for a beautiful lady like yourself to
get your hands on a few of your male friends to dress-up as sexy
Playboy bunnies! The rest is history, all you have to do is go
online and find an authentic Hugh Hefner smoking jacket, silk
looking pants, and fake cigar.

Make sure you’re strutting around with your Playmates waving
your cigar and acting extremely arrogant, and pinching the
occasional bunny cheek during the night. (Pinching at your own
risk, and we take no responsibility for this action, oh what the
heck, give him two pinches on the cheeks for good luck!)

In order to make sure your costume theme idea is realistic, you
must ensure your male partners are hanging around you often,
giving you all the attention you deserve as the sexiest Playboy
icon. Have the guys wear thick red lipstick while placing kiss
marks all over your cheeks. We have a feeling after the
Halloween party is over, you may not want to give up all that
attention! We may be creating some monsters here.

Kids Ideas Are Very Creative When It Comes To Wacky Costume
Fun!

Children are the best source when it comes to thinking of crazy
ideas, and they can easily turn up with some mad creations! If
you don’t have any kids to help you, then contact the closest
friend that has a bizarre imagination. If you can do it on your
own, then we suggest you jump on your witches broom, and fly
with your off the wall idea.

It’s crunch time, and you want to make your ideas fun and
unique. If you happen to like our wild ideas, and they find your
funny bone, then go with them. Or if you would like to create
your own concept, go for it.

The bottom line here is that we want you to achieve a great
costume idea, by taking simple concepts and letting your ideas
work to create that little twist, that will make your outfit
that much better. Your Costume will be so funny that you will
have all your guests laughing in stitches. Hmmm, stitches, I
think we have another great idea for a costume!
