The History of the Easter Egg
Brilliantly colored pastel Easter Eggs, safely tucked in tidy little hiding places, await herds of scrambling children who will pluck them from their cozy nests. Easter egg hunting is an event that has become a widespread tradition for children on Easter day. As all traditions have a beginning, this is true for the hunting of Easter Eggs as well.
The traditional “Easter Egg” has several different layers of meaning and symbolism. The “egg” represents fertility, thus new life or new beginnings. It was long thought that the Earth itself “hatched” from an egg. Stories of this nature can be traced back from Ireland to Asia.
In Northern Europe, “eggs” were a sign of fertility. Rituals revolved around the egg and were performed on women to guarantee their ability to bear children. A practice still in use today by lay midwives (healers in the Appalachian Mountains) can mysteriously predict the sex of an unborn infant by watching how an egg suspended by a string, rotates over the pregnant woman’s belly. Predictions of this sort have been just about as accurate as doctors using the ever-so-popular ultra sound.
Pastel colored eggs, chicks and bunnies all have their place in the spring festivals of Ostara. These festivals commemorate the Saxxon goddess Oestre or Eastre for whom Easter is named. In German history Oestre or Eastre is known as Ostara. Ostara is the goddess of dawn and spring. The word we use for the female hormone estrogen developed from her name. Ostara is also a goddess of fertility, and her sacred animal, the rabbit, is known for its rapid ability to procreate.
Ostara’s arrival brought about the end of the winter months. Her arrival meant prosperity and new beginnings among plant and animal life alike. As the story goes, Ostara arrived late one year. To her dismay she encountered a bird whose wings had frozen from the severe cold. She had compassion for the animal since he could no longer fly and made him her lover or pet depending on the story version. She turned the bird into a snow hare and gave him two unique abilities. First, he had the ability to run extremely fast and outrun hunters. Second, he was given the ability to lay beautiful, pastel eggs keeping with his original birdlike creation.
At some point the snow hare angered the goddess Ostara. In her rage she turned him into a constellation (Lepus) and banished him to the sky. He would be allowed to return to the Earth only once a year. During his time on Earth, he would have to give his colorful eggs to children attending the Ostara festival. Thus, the Easter Bunny!
A vast amount of cultures give the pastel colored eggs as presents. A gift of a hand painted or decorated egg symbolizes prosperity and abundance throughout the coming year.
During “the Burning Times” in Europe, Folklore suggests the actual hiding of the Easter Eggs originated. During this time believers and followers of the Christian faith were persecuted and shunned. The adults would come together and in lieu of gifting the eggs to people they would hide them. After they were hidden the children would then be encouraged to search for the hidden eggs. It is even believed that the authorities would bribe the children into revealing where the eggs had been hidden. The purpose behind the bribes was to bring the property owner to justice.
Easter and Easter Eggs are a symbol of the resurrection of new life. So the tradition continues as here comes Peter Cottontail, hoping down the Bunny Trail, hiding eggs for the children on Easter Day. The stories of the Easter Egg and the Easter Bunny live on in the hearts of people around the world.

The History of the Claddagh Ring
The Claddagh ring is a traditional Irish ring that can be worn by either a male or female. The Claddagh ring is given as a friendship or wedding ring. The customs and designs of the ring originally came from the city of Claddagh. Claddagh is a fishing village just outside the city of Galway located in Ireland. In the seventieth century, during the reign of Queen Mary II, the Claddagh ring first came into circulation.
The distinctive designs of the Claddagh ring feature two hands holding a heart. Atop of the heart you will generally find a crown. It is said that the elements associated with the ring have special meanings. The hands represent the joining of friends or friendship. Love is represented by the heart. The crown stands for loyalty. “Let love and friendship reign” is a common phrase given in association with the symbols of the ring.
The way a Claddagh ring is worn, represents whether or not the wearer is available for romantic relationships. If the ring is worn of the right hand, with the symbols facing away from the body, this indicates the person is not tied down to a serious relationship. This wearer is available and searching for love, their heart is open. When the ring is worn on the right hand but the symbol is facing towards the body, this means that the wearer is in a committed relationship. Their heart has been captured and they are not free for romantic interludes. Worn on the left hand facing away from the body normally indicates the wearer is engaged. They have promised their heart to another. If the Claddagh ring is worn of the left hand, facing toward the body, this is an indication the wearer is married. They promised their heart to another in front of God and their family.
There are several different legends as to the origin of the Claddagh ring. Margaret Joyce is the subject of one of these tales. It is said that she married a merchant named Domingo de Rona. They married and returned to Spain where he died. Upon his death Margaret inherited a large amount of money. She returned to her home in Ireland and married the mayor of Galway, Oliver Ogffrench. With the money from her inheritance, she provided money for the construction of bridges in Connacht. She provided this money out of the goodness of her heart as charity. It is said that as a reward for her good deeds, an eagle dropped a Claddagh ring into her lap as a way of thanking her.
A second story tells of a Prince who fell madly in love with a maiden. With his bare hands he constructed a ring. The ring had two hands holding a heart and on top of the heart was a crown. When the maiden’s father heard the meaning of the symbols, he was so impressed he blessed their marriage.
The Claddagh ring is worn today mostly by people of Irish decent. They are primarily worn as engagement and wedding rings. People like the Claddagh ring for it’s uniqueness as well as crafted symbolism.

Getting Your Music Published Part Two
Do you dream of turning on the radio to hear your song being sung by a professional singer? If your talents lie in words that when sung will touch the souls of others, and you already have a good demo of your perfect song, it is time to try and get your song recorded.
You can get your song published in one of two ways. Option one is to become your own publisher. If this option is not the way you want to go then you can sign or contract an outside publisher. A publisher’s job is to find people to sign your song. Publishers negotiate the price charged for usage of the song, collect the money, and then split the profit with you fifty fifty.
If you are clueless of how to find a publisher, then get ready to do some research, especially if you have no industry contacts. There are three main organizations that you can use to start your research. Internet access may aid in searching these organizations easier. They are ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC. When searching through these websites, search for songs and writers in the same genre as your song is. Find out who the publisher is. Once you have a publisher’s name, getting a number or contact information should be the easy part. Give the publisher a call and request permission to submit your songs.
If you do not have access to the internet, fear not, as there are other ways to find publishers. Take a trip to your local public library. Ask for a recent copy of Billboard Magazine. In the Top 100’s list you will find a list of songs and the publishers of the songs. Again you want to find songs in your particular genre. This way you know what type of artist’s the publisher is familiar with. After all you would not want to submit a Country song to a publisher of Rock music. Again once you have the publisher’s name, finding contact information is the easy part. You can always use 411 or a phone book to find out how to contact them. If these methods fail, an address is usually included in the magazine.
If you believe you song would sound perfect sung by a particular artist, you have your work a little more cut out for your. This task becomes a little harder to accomplish, as you have to use any means necessary. Some ideas would be to find out if they have a concert scheduled anywhere near you and when it is. If you can get that far, try and see if you can’t get back stage to meet the artist in person. Keep in mind, everyone thinks they have the perfect song and singers receive many propositions. If you are rejected in this approach, you can always find out which record company the particular artist uses. Get in contact with their record company or even manager and try submitting you song that way.
Are you interested in getting your music into television, film, music libraries, or multimedia productions? There is a growing opportunity for song writers as well as composers to break into these industries.
You should begin this venture by using a phone book and calling different companies. Find out if the companies use original music in their productions. You will find that some companies will use work from production music libraries. If this is the case, ask them to give you the names and contact information of the places they use. With this information, you have a starting point to submit your music.
If the production music libraries are interested in your work, they will most likely set up a contract for visual work. This means you are still able to use your song on your personal audio recordings. If your music is used, you will be paid. After you music appears on television, you are eligible for royalties. Royalties are paid by your performing rights organization. Exactly how much you received is based on your original contract.
The important thing when trying to get your music recorded is not to give up. Where there is a will there is a way. Keep this in mind, and remember everyone has different taste. If you are rejected once, keep trying until someone gives you a break. If you have the heart, soul, and talent, never give up on your dreams.

Getting Your Music Published Part One
If you are interested in submitting one of your music manuscripts to a publisher for review there are several steps in ensuring this process goes smoothly. First, make a copy of the manuscript. Never send the original manuscript, send a legible photocopy. If your plans are to submit your work to more than one publisher, be sure to let the publisher know of your intent at the time of submission.
Since a publisher may receive literally thousands of music manuscripts every week, this is a tedious and time consuming process. The Editorial Department receives and reviews the manuscript. Each manuscript is reviewed and then registered by an editor. The work is evaluated for quality and practicability. If the work is deemed worthy, the next step is for the work to be review by the Publications Committee. If a work is rejected prior to reaching the Publications Committee, it is returned to the original author. A work that reaches the Publications Committee is evaluated further and a final decision to publish is then made. Prior to a work being published and distributed, permissions from both the publisher and the editor must be received. A contract is drawn up by the publishers Legal Department. An agreement is made between the publisher and the editor.
With much time involved in the selection process, it is not uncommon for the entire process to take anywhere from six to nine months. Do not get discouraged if your work has been submitted for six months and you have still not heard anything back. Chances are, your wait will just about be over and you will soon know if your work will be published.
After a contract is signed, the process of publishing begins. At this point, the work is registered with the Copyright Office. So that fees can be collected for performances of the work in the future, the work is also registered with BMI, ASCAP, or SESAC. These organizations are performance rights organizations. The main purpose of these organizations is to collect performing rights and royalties for those who publicly use the music of their members. Royalties are paid after organizational costs have been deducted.

A Copyright is where the owner of a work has all rights to sell, publish, and copy their protected works. Anyone who violates the copyright by reproducing, making duplicate copies, or selling copyrighted work under a different name is considered an infringer.
Under the Copyright Act, the moment a work is created, copyright protection begins. You are not required to register your work with the Copyright Office under the US Copyright Act. Prior to being able to sue an infringer however, you must register your work with the Copyright Office, located in Washington D.C.
When the published work makes it to print, it is now time to promote the work. Copies are mailed to people who may possible be interested in the work. Magazines are contacted and the promotion process begins. The work is sent to people who have high regard in the music industry. Sometimes the work is recorded by a hired professional, just to get sample copies out there to be heard.
A work is considered published at a time when it has been made available to the public for purchase. At this point you become eligible for royalties. Each time your work is used, based on the current royalty rate, you receive a profit.

Adding music to your everyday workout routine can be just the edge you need to burn those stubborn calories. Exercising can be fun with the right tunes to get your body moving. Music will provide an added boost to take your mind off how tired or bored you may be. Let’s look at the top fifty songs that will make your workout a success.
1. Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N’ Roses
“Welcome to the jungle, we take it day by day
If you want it your gonna bleed, but that’s the price you pay
And you’re a very sexy girl, that’s very hard to please
You can taste the bright lights, but you won’t get them for free”
Allow the lyrics to flow through your ears as you count down the minutes until your treadmill session is over! Imagine an angry lion is chasing you, as you run for your life through the African jungle!
2. Enter Sandman by Metallica
“Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the lord my soul to keep If I die before I wake I pray the lord my soul to take”
This is a favorite workout tune that will put a little spring into your step. Blast Metallica’s Enter Sandman and let your feet catch the beat. This is a popular workout tune that goes well with dance aerobics.
3. Push It by Salt-N-Pepa
“Ah, push it - push it goodAh, push it - push it real goodAh, push it - push it goodAh, push it - p-push it real good”
Push the limits of your workout with this jamming song. Your entire body will feel the music as you push your way from one exercise to the next. Push your way through your entire workout.
4. Good Vibrations by Mark Moody “It’s such a good vibrationIt's such a sweet sensation
It's such a good vibration It's such a sweet sensation”
Sensations and vibrations will be making their way through every muscle in your body as you add this song to your workout play list. The weight will seemingly fall off with the sweet sensations of the music. 5. Cherry Pie by Warrant “She's my cherry pie
Cool drink of water
Such a sweet surprise
Tastes so good make a grown man cry
Sweet cherry pie
Oh yeah” Is cherry pie one of the deserts you had to give up when you decided to tone up your figure? Allow the lyrics to Cherry Pie to replace the hunger pains for chocolates and sweets as you work off the excess pounds. 6. If You’re Going Through Hell by Rodney Atkins “If you're going through hell
Keep on going, don't slow down
If you're scared, don't show it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there”
Just when you think you can’t take anymore, don’t slow down because the devil knows you really want to be eating a big bowl of ice cream. Add a little bit of Country to your workout when you invite Rodney Atkins to become part of your fitness routine. Picture Rodney singing the encouraging words you need to "keep on going.” How could you say no to that?
7. You Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC
“She was a fast machineShe kept her motor cleanShe was the best damn woman I had ever seenShe had the sightless eyesTelling me no liesKnockin’ me out with those American thighsTaking more than her shareHad me fighting for airShe told me to come but I was already there”
If you are interested in the American thighs mentioned in this timeless classic then allow your workout routine to last all night long. This song is sure to keep you shaking throughout its entirety.
8. Eye of the Tiger by Survivor
“It’s the eye of the tiger it’s the thrill of the fight
Rising up the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey at night
And he’s watching us all with the eye of the tiger”
This is another one of those lost in the jungle songs. While the eye of the tiger is on you, show no fear. Continue your workout as if you are the lone survivor of the world and your survival depends on staying in shape.
9. Loosen Up My Buttons by Pussycat Dolls
“I'm telling you loosen up my buttons baby (Uh huh)But you keep fronting (Uh)Saying what you going do to me (Uh huh)But I ain't seen nothing (Uh)”

Introduction To The Limbo of Breidi's Life
I would like to take a few minutes to introduce myself. My name is Breidi Caparatta and I am a single mom living in North Carolina at this point in my limbo of life. I have been thinking about creating a blog for quite some time, as I write part time for a variety of bloggers across the Internet. I figured I may as well put my talents to work on a project that I could actually call my own. I have to warn you all that on some occasions I can be very creative and rather humorous. I happen to have a ten year old son of my own and I am the aunt to two adorable, yet active, boys under the age of three. My life is anything but boring, and in short, a constant Soap Opera. I figured if people will watch Soap Opera's every day and even tape them, that I can write a blog that will reel you in and capture your heart and attention as well as I introduce you to the Limbo, I call life. My ultimate goal is to capture and hold the attention of an Internet audience. The Internet has taken on a facade of its own and I wish to have a little piece of cyber space to call my own. For starters, I want to expain why I choose the word Limbo to include in the web address of my blog. Limbo has two definitions. According to the Wikipedia definition one is, In Roman Catholic theology, Limbo (Latin limbus, edge or boundary, referring to the "edge" of Hell) is a hypothetical afterlife condition of those who die in original sin without being assigned to the Hell of the damned (gehenna). Medieval theologians described the underworld ("hell", "hades", "infernum") as divided into four distinct underworlds: hell of the damned (which some call gehenna), purgatory, limbo of the fathers, and limbo of infants."
The second definition of Limbo is the dance or game in which a stick is lowered and lowered and the idea is fit your entire body beneath it without knocking the stick off its holders or without touching the stick. There are days I tell you when I totally feel as though my life is lingering on the edge of Hell. These are the drama, drama, drama days. There are other days in which I never even make through the first round of the Limbo game as I am not a small person and I sometimes I can blow up even bigger when the right buttons are pushed! As you read my blog, feel free to pick what kind of day I am having for yourself! My plan is to include a variety of articles and stories that may or may not tie together but are original pieces to suit the hopefully daily mood. Any ideas or comments will be greatly appreciated. If you see an article or a story that would suit your needs, or if you like my writing style, feel more than happy to contact me about producing an article for your needs. I do a lot of freelance article writing and would be pleased to provide quotes. Nice you meet you all and hope you enjoy!
The second definition of Limbo is the dance or game in which a stick is lowered and lowered and the idea is fit your entire body beneath it without knocking the stick off its holders or without touching the stick. There are days I tell you when I totally feel as though my life is lingering on the edge of Hell. These are the drama, drama, drama days. There are other days in which I never even make through the first round of the Limbo game as I am not a small person and I sometimes I can blow up even bigger when the right buttons are pushed! As you read my blog, feel free to pick what kind of day I am having for yourself!
