And I’m not just talking about the downloading and sharing of tracks that’s now going on in every school and a lot of offices around the world, I’m talking about the more positive side of things: Everyone has the change to make it big!

Websites like MySpace have given EVERYONE the chance to showcase their music, whether you’re the next big thing to grace the centre stage, or a rookie musician with vocals flatter then a fried omelet.

One of the great mysteries is the origin of the Zodiac, and the significance of the figures used in ancient times to represent the various star groups of the constellations.

So far, despite extensive research by archeologists and others in the scientific world, no light has been shed on the problem of exactly where and when the Zodiac and it’s symbols were designed. They certainly pre-date all the records of the oldest of civilisations, and have remained unchanged throughout the ages.

The Zodiac of the Akkadians, one of the most ancient peoples, who reached the height of their civilisation between 24BC and 22BC, is almost identical to the one we know today. These ancient people brought with them the rudiments of writing and mathematics when they invaded Assyria and Babylonia.

You are desperate. You have looked for a job for months and found nothing. You called all your friends and family, searched job sites, applied at the unemployment office and still…nothing. You pray. You pray hard. “God please.” The baby suddenly cries and you realize you are out of milk. At the grocery store, you run into an old friend you have not seen in years. You chat about old times and life and mention your job situation and he tells you that he recently just spoke to someone who told him of a job that is perfect for you. It is exactly what you love to do. It is in your field and you are qualified. Furthermore, it pays more than you have ever earned and has benefits twice as good as your previous job. You can hardly believe it. If the baby had not cried right then, you would have missed this connection. Wow.
