The Organica Music Group Recording Artist Margo Rey Releases Her Fresh CD “Habit” And Prepares For Her Upcoming National Holiday Tour With Dave Koz

Beverly Hills, CA ( SharewellNewswire.com) September 15, 2012 - Organica Music Group is pleased to announce the release of Margo Rey’s highly anticipated CD, Habit. The album features Margo’s new Top 20 charting single “Between Us,” as well as her recent hit song “Let the Rain.” The latter, co-written by Ms. Rey and the legendary John Oates, remained on the charts for an astonishing 21 weeks, making it Billboard’s “Hot Shot Debut” and additionally earning her kudos in the magazine’s “Bubbling Under” column. The duo also teamed up on the stunning cut “Saturn Returns.” Oates sings on both tracks and he provides an ideal complement to Rey’s powerful yet nuanced vocals. Listeners closest to it claim that Habit is its own brand of sonic luxury and Rey emerges as a force of nature — in heels no less.

In addition, Margo is preparing for her upcoming national holiday tour with Dave Koz, which is certain to please her diverse and loyal fan base. Based on her track record, Rey’s following is understandable. In less than a two-year span she has delivered five hits in diverse genres that include Adult Contemporary as well as Dance and Pop. She also charted two #1 Dance hits and if that’s not enough, Rey also generated an original Christmas hit.

The holiday tour kicks off on November 23rd with all dates found below. The Dave Koz and Friends Christmas Tour will be a high-energy tour featuring not only Margo Rey, but David Benoit, Javier Colon and Shelia E. Koz comments, “It never ceases to blow me away, how much people love holiday songs—as evidenced by our 15th anniversary of this tour! This year especially, we’ll try to fit in as many favorites as possible and add our own unique touches along the way.”

Reflecting on the direction of Habit Margo explains: “I wanted something ‘lo-fi’ as opposed to the cloned sounds of today’s pop culture environment. I needed my music to sound like me rather than the equipment it was recorded on. Plus, I feel a huge affinity — love affair even — for the singer/songwriter era of the seventies and eighties.” Ms. Rey employed a technique as simple as it is novel in today’s recording environment. She gathered extraordinary musicians in a room and they recorded (equally extraordinary) music together. If that doesn’t sound radical, it should — and Habit underscores the point. It’s a CD that never leaves the human vibe behind. It revels in it and, if anything, deepens it.

Margo has produced a collection of songs that reverberates with a gamut of emotions. Greed, love, lust, doubt, remorse, obsession and crazed vulnerability are all present — in abundance. “I hope listeners respond to the penetrating pulse in each of these songs. They’re an exploration of my contradictory feelings over the past two years.

Roll all of those emotional tangents into a set list and you have, well, something that I hope will become a “Habit.”

The album unleashes thirteen songs, all of which are original. One exception is a gorgeous cover of The Zombie’s hit, “She’s Not There.” If you think you’ve heard the song before, think again. This version has more down-under burn than most people can handle. But it gets better. Ms. Rey will be on tour. So hang on. Or, better yet, let yourself go. www.MargoRey.com

Habit was recorded and mixed at Rusk LA by Elton Ahi, mastered by Yossi Shaked, produced and arranged by Margo Rey in collaboration with Elton Ahi and Chris Wabich.

Organica Music Group is a boutique media company with four divisions that include: music; stand-up comedy; publishing; television and film. OMG’s distributor is Universal Music Group. Michael Blakey serves as President and has worked with top artists around the world, receiving over 60 gold and platinum albums and 5 Grammy nominations.

Play in a NEW NFL Fantasy League Daily or Weekly at FantasyFeud.com

The NFL has started, are you going to be happy with the same fantasy team for the entire season? Too late to sign up for an NFL Fantasy League? Compete daily or weekly at Fantasyfeud.com

Toronto, Canada (SharewellNewswire.com) September 14, 2012 -- Fantasy Sports leagues have traditionally been played over the course of a full season. The difference in Fantasy Feud is that you can join a new league designed for one night of action, or one week if you select to play in a weekly format. Like a regular fantasy sports league you will face off against other players where you will build your roster in an effort to generate the highest point total to beat the other competitors in your league. Injury concerns and add/drops are a part of the past. Fantasy Feud takes the excitement of your yearly pool and applies it to one day of action.

Almost 30 million people play fantasy sports each year.

Compete for Real Money or for Free

Users have the option to play against friends or other Fantasy Feud members in cash leagues to win real money or in free leagues to win points which can be redeemed for prizes in the online store.

Users can select the sport you would like to play, the draft type you’re interested in, the number of players you wish to face and the amount of money you would like to play for.

Daily, Weekly or Season Long Fantasy Competitions

Fantasy Feud is providing fantasy sports enthusiasts with an alternative way to play in sports pools. Rather than simply playing in season long pools Fantasy Feud is offering daily and weekly games where you can win cash prizes or accumulate points to purchase merchandise in our store. Games are offered for the NFL, NBA, NHL, NCAA Football and MLB to allow you to focus on the sports you know best.

Some of the types of daily and weekly games:

Salary Cap Draft

The Salary Cap Draft is designed to allow you to play the role of General Manager for your team. You will have a $1,000,000 salary to build your roster. Your goal is to build the best team you can within the constraints of your budget in order to get the maximum number of fantasy points possible. Your team will go up against other member’s teams, within the game you are playing, and the player with the most fantasy points will win. Watch the salary cap video tutorial to see it in action.

Snake Draft

Is your favorite part of playing fantasy sports the yearly draft with your friends? There is no need to wait a full year between drafts anymore. You can join a snake draft where you will face off against other users in a live draft. If you have 4 members in your game a random draft order will be generated prior to the start of the contest. In the first round the draft order will be 1, 2, 3, and 4. In the second round the order will be 4, 3, 2, and 1 and will continue to alternate each round throughout the draft.

Pro Pick’Em Draft

Fantasy Feud is bringing the concept of the box pool to daily fantasy sports. Each Pro Pick’Em Draft will feature 10 groups of players with 8 players per group. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to select the player who will be the top performer in each group. Your 10 players will face off against the 10 players your opponent selects. The team with the most points wins.

"Global Mission for Children Announces Donors Using Good Search to Help Raise Much Needed Funds for their Mission"

DONATING ONE SEARCH OR ONE PURCHASE AT A TIME WITHOUT TAKING A DIME OUT OF YOUR POCKET! Supporters of www.GlobalMissionforChildren.org are using Good Search and Good Shop to raising money with every search of the Internet and every purchase on-line.

Bradenton, FL (SharewellNewswire.com) September 14, 2012 – GlobalMissionforChildren.org (“GMFC”) announces Good Search to its donor’s, potential donors or anyone that wants to help the forgotten children around the world without taking a penny out of their pockets.

The concept behind Good Search is very simple. They are using Yahoo’s search engine and customized it to better the world. They are an ever increasingly popular search engine with a cause. The search engine powered by Yahoo! Good Search donates 50% of its revenue, approximately a penny per search, to the charities designated by its users. You use it exactly as you would any other search engine and the pennies really add up – just 1000 people searching four times a day will earn around $14,600 in a year. It doesn’t cost the users a thing!

In addition Good Shop allows consumers to help their favorite causes by shopping at hundreds of well known retailers including Amazon, Target, Apple, Macy’s, Best Buy, Orbitz, Staples and others. The shopping experience and the prices are exactly the same as going to the retailer directly, but by going through Good Shop, up to 38% of the purchase price is donated the user’s favorite cause! James Miller, co-founder of GMFC states “thousands of dollars per year is being redistributed to charities by simply searching the internet with another search engine.” The results are exactly the same as other popular search engines and the money from every search and every purchase can really add up.”

The users of Good Search can also use over 100,000+ coupons that are available from Good Search. When one searches online on Amazon, BestBuy, Toys R Us and thousands of other popular sites they can save hundreds. James Miller states “I have saved in excess of $300 since I start to search with Good Search 6 months ago and I have raised over $20 for our mission…Incredible!”

Users can take advantage of Good Search by downloading their toolbar here http://www.goodsearch.com/toolbar/global-mission-for-children the toolbar loads in one minute and the user starts to donate automatically every single time they search the internet no exceptions. A box will be at the top of the site with the number of coupons that are available for the particular site they are on.
More than 100,000 nonprofits and schools are now registered with Good Search and Good Shop and more than 100 charities and schools are registering daily. Good Search has quickly spread via word-of-mouth. Other organizations listed on the site have raised more than $40,000 so far.

Using Good Search could not be simpler. Because the site is powered by Yahoo, users are assured of high quality results - but each time you search, money is generated by the advertisers for your favorite charity or school.

“We know there are a lot of people who want to do good but may not have the time or the money to help out.” said Ken Ramberg, Co-Founder of Good Search and former President of MonsterTRAK, the largest online career site for college students (now a division of Monster.com). “Good Search and Good Shop makes it as easy as possible. We’ve taken something people do every day -- searching the Internet and shopping online -- and have turned it into doing good."
