OurStage is a great website for discovering new music and new musicians whether you are a lover of music or a musician yourself. By registering you can rate music and even upload your own for others to discover. And there is incentive to adding your own music besides getting your name and talent out there. OurStage sponsors contests for musicians. For example, right now and until November 22nd, musicians can enter the Converse “Get Out of the Garage” Contest, which is of course sponsored by OurStage – Discover New Music. The community itself votes on the music submitted, narrowing it down to the top ten in both the rock and urban genres. At that point, a panel of selected music industry professionals will select one winner in both categories.

What do winners get?

The grand prize winner gets an all expense paid trip to Austin, Texas to play in a March, 2010 concert festival. This includes room, meals, Guitar Center gift certificate, and cash prize. Four first place winners will also be selected. They get some free CDs, Converse shoes (the best brand!), and a Guitar Center gift certificate. Get your entries in soon because voting will be starting here soon.

In high school and college, I did very poorly in math because my brain was not suited to all of the different theories and formulas and numbers. I found the entirety of math too complex and honestly could hardly grasp the most basic concepts. There were not many services offering math help to those doing poorly when I was in school, at least not as far as what I could afford, so I ended up with grades that reflected my complete math ignorance. I know that I am not alone in this because a lot of people need help in math and would love to do something about it but lack the means.

One room I am very picky about is my bathroom. I absolutely loathe those standard scenes of lighthouses or fish, or any of the author sea/nautical themes that people give bathrooms solely by virtue of the fact that bathrooms have water. If you are like me or perhaps just want to redo your bathroom for the holidays, SHOP.COM has a massive selection of unique shower curtains because they link to stores all over the net such as Target and Overstock. Some of the curtains are elegant, some playful, some youthful, some inspirational, and all at very good prices. With so many to choose from, you are sure to find one that will fit your taste and theme.

Every time I look up and see a plane streaking across the sky I feel a pain of jealousy that I am not on it going some place beautiful, exotic, or relaxing. I am envious of the people who get to travel all over the world and relax in luxurious hotels, seeing sights I have only gotten to view through pictures and television images. I am sure that many of you feel the same way and would love a chance to see other parts of the world. Problem is, as it is with most of us, money.
