Putting Romance Back Into Marriage By Joyce M. Stuart | January 5, 2009 by Joyce M. Stuart Most couples are caught in situations where they feel that the romance factor in their lives is all gone. Romance is something that occurs naturally during the beginning of a relationship. Love struck couples, during the early days of their dating, go to almost any extent to keep the romance going with their partner. Romance though, begins to gradually disappear once they enter the wedlock. The secRoxio Launches Toast 10 Titanium at Macworld Expo

by Joyce M. Stuart In the beginning of any relationship, couples find that romance occurs in abundance. Gradually though once they tie the knot, they find out that the romance has disappeared from their marriage. Almost everything that a love struck couple do in the beginning is to keep the other person happy and attracted to him or her. Once you begin to feel secure though, the romance may quickly dwindle and you may find yourself feeling rather helpless.

Happy New Year! (again) graham (January 5th, 2009) I wasn’t quite as productive as Mike over the holiday period. I had great plans for all that spare time, but I don’t seem to have done anything with it. My Monome step-sequencer project is still on hold, and I barely touched a computer. However, I did build a theremin! Quite by surprise, and perhaps heading off my hints for a new synthesizer, I was bought a DIY theremin kit for Christmas.

Nashville rockers headline in Manchester... “I never dreamed we’d play to this many people,” explains charismatic Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill to an adoring crowd, packed into the MEN like a hoard of Woolworths sale vultures to worship their kings. In a rock world overflowing with over-inflated self-bravado, it’s a refreshingly humble comment from the white cowboy boot-clad leader of the world’s biggest band. It’s been a meteoric rise to that title for the family foursome from TenImagine there's no artwork
Here is an interesting variation on my musician as artist thread. The sleeve of this 1962 recording of Toshiro Mayuzumi's Nirvana Symphony uses artwork by none other than Yoko Ono. Although better known as John Lennon's wife and as a notable conceptual artist in her own right, Yoko Ono has some interesting connections with classical music. While majoring in philosophy at Gakushuin University in Tokyo she also studied music, specialising in German lieder and Italian opera.

I’ve been thinking about my drive to work. It’s one to one and a half hours each way. My factory car stereo, as most, is mediocre at best, so to make my drive more palatable I upgraded the speakers.

How do you become the best in the world in your chosen field? Malcolm Gladwell in his new book Outliers, makes the premise that to really master a field of endeavor it takes about 10,000 hours.
