SLIDESHOWS
Slideroll.com had a bunch of slideshows. This one is called Father Damien.It has audio ( music ) which accompanies the slideshow very well. The pictures are vibrant and uplifting, it's purpose is to show off the museum and it's faith. This slideshow would be boring without the music.

The next slideshow had no music and I was attracted to it because I love to travel. This slideshow was very short but displayed beautiful clips of Peru and would be very effective in the tourism business.

Horoscopes
History of Horoscopes
By Tara, Michelle, Arianna and Emily
The word “astrology” came from the Greeks, meaning “Science of the Stars.” The Greeks were the first to come across horoscopes and astrology thousands of years ago. It was first used by farmers so they could know the correct times of year to plant their crops. The farmers noticed how the sun position had an effect on the harvest. Astrologers then believed the position of the stars and horoscopes had an effect on a person’s life and what their futures held.
Then in 500 B.C., famous philosopher Aristotle studied astrology and made it more popular. It became less popular when Galileo Galilei used a telescope in the 1500’s. He went against all former assumptions with astrology and how horoscopes aligned the stars. In more recent times, former first lady Nancy Reagan used astrology after her husband encountered an assassination attempt. She then hired an astrologer to choose the best times for her husband, the current President of the United States, to make public appearances.
In 300 B.C. astrology became popular in Egypt. Christianity then again took back over during the Middle Ages. Astrology has made its way into people’s interests yet again in the 21st century.

AUDIO PODCAST IDEA.....
There are 12 different zodiac signs from which we are going to do our "horoscopes" from. Since there are 4 of us, we each are going to write 3 different entries, totaling the 12 horoscopes. They may be comical, gory or stupid, but definitely not true, maybe believable. We will include lucky or not so lucky numbers and dates. It should be entertaining.

Audio Podcasts
www.cnn.com/services/podcasting/
CNN has hourly and daily podcasts, every subject you can imagine. Most popular ones include Larry King Podcast and Anderson Cooper 360. Sound quality is very good, however I don't think I will be wathcing any more, I prefer the tv news, even though these do have video as well.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8132577/
These are mostly audio podcasts. Mostly political, not very creative but the sound quality is fair.

This podcast you can listen to different music around the world which I found pretty interesting. The sound quality is very good.
