is a raw or processed food produced from the seed of the tropical Theobroma cacao tree. Cacao has been cultivated for at least three millennia in Mexico, Central and South America. Its earliest documented use is around 1100 BC. The majority of the Mesoamerican people made chocolate beverages, including the Aztecs, who made it into a beverage known as xocolātl [ʃo'kolaːt͡ɬ], a Nahuatl word meaning "bitter water". The seeds of the cacao tree have an intense bitter taste, and must be fermented to develop the flavor.

Singing is one of the most beautiful forms of expression. It can not only entertain us, but also inspire us, teach us, comfort us, guide us and evoke just about every emotion on the spectrum. If you’re passionate about singing, keep on doing what you love. The more you practice, the better your voice will become. The following tips will help you train your singing voice:

1. Open your mouth while you sing
2. Relax your tongue
3. Sing with a purpose
4. Don’t breathe in too much air
5. Breathe from the diaphragm instead of the lungs
6. Believe in what you are singing
7. Don’t eat food or drink liquids that affect your voice
8. Experiment with your voice
9. Put your guard down and hold nothing back
10. Have fun and keep a positive attitude


One thing I also love to do is tune to the music channels on my TV and simply listen to the sound of great voices. I usually peruse each station and listen to a wide variety of artists, genres and single styles – even if I’m not a fan of the music. This helps train my brain on how a good singing voice should sound. If this interests you, DIRECTV includes access to more than 80 music channels spanning all genres from country to classic rock with every one of its packages

I’m working on a series of articles about personal blogging, but I wanted to share with you a perfect example of a personal blog. Everyone is talking blog this, blog that, social media, Twitter, Flickr, tweet, but really, until you dig in, you have little understand about what this bloggy thing is all about.


Other than occasionally surfing the web, his only interaction with the web world was through email. Now, he’s a proud blog owner and getting a taste of the power of the blog.

In honor of Thanksgiving, we're asking you to chime in!
What are YOU thankful for this year?

One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain. Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.
