NothingI used to be lightning.
Power surged beneath my skin,
and in the silence, I heard myself thrum.
I used to be fire.
I burned bright inside, stellar lungs,
and in the cold, I sang myself warm.
Still and dark.
My stone sinews crack.
I am vacuum, deep void of space.
Asteroid dust, floating.
I freeze.
KnifeRemember that little human
boy who couldn't read aloud -
who couldn't hold a pen
because his slick corn oil skin
kept sliding past itself?
Boy, oh, boy.
And he was born a hundred
years too late for his cowboy
dreams. He rides herd on the
maybes and the somedays.
He sang a knife song - one
that sliced up the rigid spines
of teachers and parents alike
and parted them before him
like God-spoken seas.
Deft elision somewhere between
his teeth and tongue, lyrical, his
words in other men's mouths.
Knife song honed with lime,
polished with manteca.
Mocking SkyThe Texas winter mocks
with dust instead of snow
and bare mesquite to testify with thorns
against a shred of weakness.
The Texas winter gusts
fiercely from the south -
grit on lips, in eyes, on tongues that wonder
where the deer drink.
The Texas winter sinks
in rust and blood and peaches
beneath the horizon. Sweetly, sweetly,
she sips the clouds.
The Texas winter clothes herself in cicada song,
and all the stars applaud.
Lest we forget
In Flanders' fields, the poppies blow,
and we who walk among them know
that here men fought, and bravely died
with equal courage, side by side;
the lark has overcome the crow.
We touch the Dead in memory
embrace them through the century.
The earth enshrines their valiant hearts
in Flanders' fields.
The torch has guttered years ago;
the enemy has been laid low.
And though your names should slowly fade,
your blood a better world has made.
Rest you now where the poppies grow
in Flanders' fields.
Verso VToday, the sky dreams of pearls
and weeps for want of wind.
The chachalaca, silent for once,
huddles high in an ebony tree.
The dust is wet and dark and will not blow today.
World-saver (A starter)"This one," said the Oracle. "This one will save the world."
It spit out a gene map, one with far too many chromosomes.
The President picked it up and spread it out so the others could see.
"An animal?" he asked.
"A world-saver," the Oracle replied. "The subject will be phenotypically female, outwardly indistinguishable from Homo sapiens."
"A general?" asked the Chancellor.
"A world-saver," the Oracle replied. "The subject will prevent the destruction of the planet."
"And the planet's people?" asked the Minister.
"Yes," the Oracle confirmed.
The Professor frowned.
"Where," she asked, "can this individual be found?"
The Oracle hummed.
"No such organism is presently in existence," it said. It sounded amused, though that was impossible.
"Then it must be built," the Professor said.
They took the gene map and turned to
ProclamationBeneath the spangled, auburn sky,
the silence of cathedrals swells where once
the vulgar shouts held sway, the profane
and the irreverent, the raucous, the bold.
A hush grows ever deeper in the mouths
and in the ears of the sharp-toothed
sycophant and the frog-mouthed boor,
and for once, this once, they listen.
A raffia-soled sandal shushes through the gloom,
bearing in bent shoulders beneath raglan sleeves
and a heavy brow. A confessor stands ready
in every alcove, in every ribs-bare window.
Ready are they to receive those who come.
In robes as black as searching pupils they have waited
for the sinner-supplicant to kneel amidst the standing
and proclaim the new amidst the old --
in a mighty voice of silence. An army of philosophers
can outgrow the need for shouting. Someday
their gaping mouths will heal and they will learn
the comfort of a prayer in the heart.
Even now, their clamorous psalms die
on their frigid lips, and sober thought lifts

When my lips aren't pressed against your neck,
My arm not resting on your chest,
Rising and falling with each sleeping breath.
You'd mutter in your sleep,
Inaudible whispers sounding the sweetest melody.
I could listen every moment
To every sound you made silently on each breath.
Now the nights are too quiet.
My bed is a frozen lake
That used to move with the warmth of your sunshine,
And even the thousand times I take a breath,
I can no longer hear my lullaby.
I cannot fill this hole.

So sad, wanted to love this dress, but just didn't. The fabric is great, fit was wonderful, and loved the pockets. But the color was just too much for me...and I love pink. This dress is more of a neon pink color. It was just too much -- really bright. I wish they had it in another color besides black. If you can handle neon pink, it's great.

This dress is very cute and well made. The color is pretty, be aware that it is bright though! I'm about 5'6, 130lbs and ordered a size 4. It fit okay; however, I found the pleats on the skirt to be unflattering. I have another Kate Spade dress that I love and was hoping to love this one too, but for this price it would need to be perfect.

A Real Live ET Space Alien Captured On Tape!
Expand Messages
- Dear Anyone,
I have just one small tiny question to
anyone who cares to answer, �Is this video really real of a
real live breathing ET space alien who was captured on tape in the Denver
Colorado area�! [http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=pSTcgn6IaZo]
According to the Zetas of ZetaTalk.com, they are
on the record as saying that �Yes, this video is real, but not a picture of them
[the zetas]. The Zetas are also on record as saying that as the transformation
continues, our planet can expect to see more and more UFOs along with some
videoed captures of real live space alien lifeforms.
We're in the ENDTIME of the Wicked and Not the RIGHTEOUS - GOD is Not MOCKED!

Quick question about modes?
Hello everyone,
I am relatively new to modes and I think
I am getting the picture of how the
major modes work. But not sure about
when and if I am using them with the right
intention. Let me explain,
For example if a song I wrote is in the key
of B major and using a 1-IV-V progression and
when I get to the guitar solo I do
the following chord progressions:
Underlying rythym chord: B Major
Mode: Ionian
Solo: Using B major scale
Key: B Major
Underlying rythym chord: B Minor
Mode: B Dorian
Solo: Using A major scale
Key: A Major
Underlying rythym chord: B Major
Mode: B Lydian
Solo: Using F# major scale
Key: F# Major
Underlying rythym chord: D Minor
Mode: C Dorian
Solo: Using C major scale
Key: C major
Underlying rythym chord: G Major
Key: C major
Mode: G Mixolidian
Solo: Using C major scale
Underlying rythym chord: A Minor diminished
(A, C and Db)
Key: B flat major
Mode: A Locrian
Solo: Using B flat major scale
Now assuming I got the above correct....
My lead solo part of my song would change
key 5 times ?? Is this ok..? Usually
most songs have their solo parts staying to
the same key as the rest of the song!!!!
So what gives with these modes....??? it seems
like whenever we use them we are forced to
change keys every time we want to switch mode.
From what I remember, most songs stay in
the same key during their guitar solos..... right?
So my question becomes.... is changing keys like this
during a solo frowned upon or is it accepted
so long the changes sound pleasing?
Thanks for your help, advice and feedback

Let me simplify it for you. You're not ready for modes. Study the major and minor KEYS, the concept of non-diatonic chords/notes, chord construction, etc.
This sticky covers what you need to know before considering modes: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/foru...d.php?t=1042392

hi jack..i see your new to this forum...to say modes are mis-understood - could be our motto..
your saying you play over a I IV V progression..is it 12-bar blues based ?
no offense..your approach to modes is at best confusing..and unnecessary..without going into detail of exactly "what is wrong" .. let me say..and I am sure other members will agree...FORGET modes--for now..dig deeper into diatonic harmony and all its implications..and if you can some study of melodic principles..( it appears your approach does not consider melody-which in itself may dictate some "solo directions"
you may also read past posts on modes-you may find some insight in those...
play well

You shouldn't just decide "now I'm going to play this scale and now I'm going to change to this scale" randomly. If the key of the chord progression doesn't change, I see no reason in changing the scale you are playing. Also, your chord progression seemed pretty random to me (well, I didn't play it, but it just looks very random to me). How did you come up with it? Do you think it sounds good?
Your approach would just sound random, because the scales you are playing may have no connection. When you solo, you don't want to play scales. Play melodies. Scales are just a tool to find the notes you are looking for. If you just decide that you are going to use all of these different scales, I'm pretty sure your playing will also sound pretty much like scales. And you don't want to sound like you are playing scales.
But yeah, learn about keys first. The fact that you are adding accidentals doesn't change the key you are playing in. If the chord progression stays in one key, you are playing in one key. You are just playing some "outside" notes, but that's completely fine. Not every note you play have to belong to the key scale. But your approach to it seems pretty random.
Also, forget everything you have learned about modes. Modes are not in a key. D dorian is not in the key of C major.
If you want to learn about modes, learn them by comparing them to the parallel major and minor scales (ie, scales with the same root note). Compare A major to A mixolydian and A major. What do you notice? Compare A minor to A dorian and A phrygian. What do you notice?
Here's the tab. I'm going to only use one string to tab out the scales, so that the intervals of the scale are easier to understand. Everything only uses the A string.
A lydian:
A major:
A mixolydian:
A dorian:
A minor:
A phrygian:
What do you notice? Play them and listen to the sound. You want to know the sound of them.
But yeah, how to use these scales is a bit more complex, and you really need to understand keys and chord functions to really understand when to use what scale. Of course you can just trust your ears, and that's a good way. And if you just use your ears, that way you'll also come up with your own "rules" of how to use the scales.
First learn about chord functions and keys. Most of the time you'll be playing the key scale. So if you are in the key of A major, you should use the A major scale. You can always use accidentals (just trust your ears), but A major is the "vanilla sound" (as Jet Penguin would say) over a diatonic A major progression. So for example if your progression is A-F#m-D-Bm7-A/E-E7-A (all chords use notes in the key scale - in this case A major scale), just play A major over everything.
I'm pretty sure what I'm explaining sounds pretty complex. My main point is, stick with your major and minor scales for now. Learn about keys and chord functions. Use your ears.

I agree with all the above, but to address specific questions in case it helps:
The mode could well be B dorian. But you are still in the key of B (because B is still - so far anyway - the note that "sounds like home").
You are using what's known as "mode mixture" - different modes on the same keynote. If that's the sound you want, that's fine.
This is a very strange change from the previous B lydian. Not "wrong". Just strange...
But a Dm chord followed by G - one measure each, both using the C major scale - is going to sound like a ii-V in C major, so individual mode names are irrelevant. IOW, these two chords will act together to imply the key of C major, and an approaching C chord...
The exception would be if you returned to Dm, which would probably confirm a D keynote. (Dm-G, repeated over and over, 2 or 4 beats each, is a common "D dorian" vamp.)
Anyway... we're not in B major any more, Toto...
Do you mean an A diminished triad, perhaps? That would be A C Eb.
This chord progression is getting stranger..... Still, that doesn't mean "bad".... just very strange....
Its the terms you use to describe it that might then be an issue. (Your terminology is a little shaky, at least your use of the word "key".)
A change of key is a change in the perceived "home note". So your first 3 chords are all in the "key of B" - the mode just shifts from ionian to dorian to lydian.
The next 3 chords - Dm, G, Adim - have no clear key centre. Dm-G could imply D or C as key centre, but - in this context - neither very strongly.
Adim is an unstable chord, and A is not a "keynote" in that case - it contains a tension that "wants" to resolve elsewhere (possibly Bb, but other resolutions are possible).
When you're composing, you choose the chords (and scales or modes) you want -whatever sounds you like. I guess you chose those chords (and modes), so you're only forcing yourself!
When improvising on other people's songs, you use the chords (and scales or modes) they used.
Of course, that means you have to determine what scales/modes they are - but that's pretty easy if you just follow the chords (use the notes in the chords).
As I say, those changes are unusual, and certainly deviate (in unexpected ways) from the key of B major. But if it sounds pleasing to you, and you made those choices carefully (judging by ear), then all is fine. Some listeners may raise their eyebrows when they hear it, but that may be no bad thing. (Many listeners out there could use some eyebrow exercise....)

hello fellows,
I agree with you guys that the chords are not the best chosen ones as
this was a random choice of chords as an example.
All I wanted to know is if a solo wants to change from one mode to another
it will seem that we would be always change keys.
After all Isn't it what he is doing?
He's keeping one note as a background sound and playing all the modes
over it .... and everytime he is playing a different mode well, he's changing
key !! which was the reason for my question.... changing keys so many times
in one solo is weird no?
And he is holding the B note all along signifying perhaps a B major chord...
what if that B major chord becomes a D major chord .... so now the process
in the video would start all over again but this time over a 'D' note and
every mode will change the key .... all these key changes is what I am confused
But anyways your recommendations have been noted.
thanks anyways

Hi Jongtr,
Thank you for your in depth analysis , I haven't had a chance read everything
but will do soon enough.
Yeah everyone thinks that I am trying to write the next hit with those
progressions lol
No no. no.... after watching the video I posted in previous thread I simply
took any chords and wanted to know if I was able to correctly identify
the key according to a chord chosen at random... This was totally
a random selection of chords....I should of picked more like a A minor,
Gmaj, D min ect....
I called it a song but what a sad song that would of been lol.
I should of called it test#1 to test#6 instead of measures 1 to 6.
let read up your post and I will get back!

He is demonstrating the principle of "parallel modes", in order to help you hear the different qualities of each mode.
That's because he is not demonstrating an improvisation principle. Solos are not played like this.
One might write a song using parallel modes in this way - but one probably wouldn't use all 7 modes!
The ionian, lydian and mixolydian modes imply a B major chord (because they all contain D#, the major 3rd)
Dorian, aeolian and phygian modes, meanwhile, imply a B minor chord (because they all contain D, the minor 3rd).
B locrian implies a Bdim chord.
It's only an implied B major chord, and only on 3 of the modes.
But yes, in principle one could choose any of the 12 notes of the chromatic scale and play 7 parallel modes on each of them. That's 84 different modes! - but only 7 different scales (pitch collections).
Once again, this is only a demo of a principle - trying to let you compare one mode with another. Eg, you'll notice aeolian sounds "darker" than dorian. Lydian is "brighter" than ionian. etc. That's the point here. This is not about how one improvises on a piece of music!
Nothing to do with chord progressions.
BTW - I just watched the video, and he is quite misleading about key himself (so no wonder you're confused!). B dorian mode is not "in the key of A major", as he says. He is using "key" to mean the same thing as "scale" - which a lot of people do, but it's lazy and confusing. B dorian mode is "relative to" the key of A major, meaning it shares the same notes. But the keynote is B.
You should think of B dorian in relation to the B minor key, not the A major key. (He's right that the chord in question is Bm. But when you're playing "in B dorian mode", you're not "in A major". It's important to use words like "key" and "in" properly! )

Modes are about harmonic relationships, not just melodic/scalar ones.
Melodies derive from chord tones, so you need first to look at your chords, and consider those as the most important ones. In a I IV V each chord has different notes that should be the foundation of any melody you play, even though the key and relevant scale are always the same. If you add up all the notes in a I IV V, you'll get the key/scale of the I.
When you decide to use a mode of a scale, rather than just the scale that matches the key, there needs to be a reason for it. Since melodies must relate to chord tones, the most obvious reason would be that the chords spell out a mode. Example: ||: A-7 D7 :||. Add up the notes, and they come out to A dorian. Your key is A minor, but the mode is Dorian, so you can use the A dorian scale.
Another reason is that a chord leaves an "opening" where there are undefined tones, which you can sometimes fill with non-diatonic non-chord tones. Example: ||A7 D-||. Undefined is B, so you can use either B natural or Bb over the A7 (not a general statement). In some cases, the 5th of a chord can be modified or omitted, which opens up further possibilities.
So the lesson is to always look first at your chord tones and build your melodies from those. That's how you get melodies that flow and sound natural. Modes are not necessary to get that basic level of competence and understanding.

Hi Jongtr,
This stuff is not easy.
Ok, if I may simply rewrite my original post with chords that are a little more musical for heavens sakes. I would like to construct
a solo with you from scratch and see exactly if I am starting to understand modes or not.
Let's take C major as our key. Let's give this tune three chords.... let them be C Maj, G Maj and A minor ( the latter 3 chords are mentioned just to show the
song is in C Major). Now comes the solo.... the first chord to the
solo will be C major so if this is fine for you, then here we go:
Underlying rythym chord: C Major
Mode: Ionian
Solo: C major scale
First note in solo will be C
Key: C Major
Underlying rythym chord: D minor
Mode: D Dorian
Solo: C major scale
First note in solo will be D
Key: C Major
Underlying rythym chord: F major
Mode: F Lydian
Solo: C major scale
First note in solo will be F
Key: C Major
Now here can I do the following:
Underlying rhythm chord: E minor
Mode: E Lydian
Solo: B major scale
First note in solo will be E
Key: B Major Or C major (not sure)
B Maj scale:
Is this ok so far.... cause I'm not 100% sure !
Thanks for your help!

The motto is more like: "MT: There is no such thing as a 'quick' question." You could add "about modes" to the end or just end it there. Don't think that it matters too much.

First note in solo will be E
Key: B Major Or C major (not sure)
your in the key of C..by your own statement
Let's take C major as our key
giving that..Emi is the iii chord / Phrygian mode..B major is not in this harmonic structure -the notes in B major are going to clash against E minor...D# would make it a min with a maj7th..the G# is going to clash with the G note of E min..now if you were to use the C-augmented scale in a creative way..you might get away with it..as it contains some of the flavor you seem to be after and it sounds very cool ... C D# E G G# B..it contains both an E maj triad and E minor triad...and you would still be in C Maj
play well

Hi wolflen,
So for my example all I have to do is this:
Underlying rhythm chord: E minor
Mode: E Phrygian
Solo: C major scale
First note in solo will be E
Key: C major
Is that it ???
So then I'm always using the C scale and playing different chunks
of the scale over my C scale chords! similarly , If the song would be is let's say the
key of G major instead of C, then I would be playing different parts
of the G major scale over my G scale chords !
And that's all there is to it ....?? Can't be ?
this is too simple I am obviously missing something....

If you want to stay in key of C major, use the C major scale. (The E mode will be E phrygian, but you don't need to know that, nor start on an E note.)
If you're not bothered about staying in C major, other modes that would fit Em would be E aeolian (G major) or E dorian (D major). E harmonic and melodic minor would be other options.
But if you want SIMPLE - - stick with C major.
Or - if you actually want E lydian mode - use an E major chord.

The shortest and most useful answer is not to worry about modes. Learn how to deal with chord tones first.

Underlying rhythm chord: E minor
Solo: C major scale
That's all you need. That will produce an "E phrygian" sound for as long as the Em lasts, but it doesn't matter what note you start on, or how you play the scale.
And if the Em is only one measure, then the "E phrygian" sound will probably be less obvious than the sound of "iii chord in C major".
IOW, if your keynote is C, then the modal terms are somewhat meaningless.
You should know which notes of the scale are in each chord in your sequence, so you can echo the changes as you play.
You still don't need to do that - random playing on the scale can sometimes sound OK - but it generally sounds better to work from the chord tones (the arpeggios of each chord).
So, eg, in key of C major, when you are on the Am chord, your main notes would be A C and E (Am chord tones), anywhere you can find them on the neck. Your secondary notes (passing tones) will be the other 4 scale notes (B, D, F, G).
On the G chord, your main notes would be G B and D, with A C E and F as passing notes.
No need to stick to any one scale pattern - but obviously the more places you know for your notes (and chord shapes) the better.
Naturally it CAN get more complicated than this! You can accent those non-chord tones, for more expressive effects. You can add "chromatics" - notes from outside the key - which is like adding spices to a recipe (careful with those...). You can bend notes (for bluesy effects).
But you begin from the chord tones, and the scale of the key. That's your foundation.
The difficult thing is not choosing your notes! They're all given to you (by the chord sequence). The hard thing is shaping them into musical phrases - using space and rhythm, dynamics, tone, expression, etc. That's where the creativity comes in - not in "applying modes", or any of that nonsense.

referring to the last line in your last post,
assuming we go with E major and E Lydian
we would solo with the notes in the scale of
A major Right?
A major is:
if E major chord is E, G#, B , when I use the
A note in the solo won't this clash with the sound
of the G# in the E major chord?
my question is is it best to avoid the A note I think this case during solo?
just asking!

The non-chord tones each have distinctive effects. These can be experienced as "clashes", but also as expressive effects.
On an E major chord, the A note (in E major or E mixolydian) is a classic clashing note, if the G# is prominent lower in the chord. But you can still use it! It's just best not to linger on it. Jazz theory does refer to it as an "avoid note", but that only means as an extension to the chord (unless you get rid of the G#); in melodies or solos it's fine. It can sound very good as a tension, if you resolve it down to G#.
The best thing is to experiment and use your ears. Set up a backing track with an E major chord. Then try playing each note of the scale against the chord, listening for how it sounds. The chord tones (E G# B) will sound right "inside" - although each still has its own character.
You'll find other notes (from whatever scale is appropriate to the key, or whatever mode you choose if there is no key) all sound more "tense" than the chord tones, but to differing degrees and with different effects. You may like some and not others. Some are "sweet", some are more "sour" or "acid". (Try to develop your own characterisations. What does a C# sound like against E major? What about D#? Etc.)
Generally speaking, you only notice these effects when sustaining a note, or repeating it, over the chord. In scale runs (between chord tones) the effects can be imperceptible. But it's about learning when you want to accent a non-chord tone - to get the desired effect - and when you don't.

now for the million dollar question....
I feel like changing key! As a matter
of fact everyone in this forum feels
like changing key I just know it
so let's say I crack up the following:
Measure #5)
Underlying rhythm chord: C# Major
Solo: F# Lydian
F#/Gb scale:
Ab, Bb, Cb, Db, Eb, F, G,b Ab
Now I am not sure how the key of C major to
C# would sound like (going from Eminor to C#major)
but that's not the point .... Is what I implied
correct in the sense that while I would be playing
the C# major chord I would be playing the notes
of the C# scale and this would be F# Lydian?
By the way I am open for any other recommendations
reading the choice of the key change.
thanks much appreciate your help.

(Accenting the F# note is possible, as a sus4 on C#, but that doesn't make it lydian.)
As before, this isn't about what you can and can't do, or what sounds good and what doesn't. It's only about finding the right terms for the sounds you're using.
A rise of a half-step (as in C to C#) is sometimes called the "truck driver's gear change", because it's regarded as a crude way of injecting energy into a song just as it's starting to get boring. IOW, let's not write a bridge! Let's just shove the whole song up a half-step and play it again!
It doesn't have to be cheesy, of course. You get one in Otis Redding's "I Been Loving You Too Long", where it feels just right (and the song cleverly teases you that you're about to get another one, but you don't).
Changing key for a chorus or bridge is common, where the chord sequence is also different - but the key generally changes back afterwards. (In the TDGC above, the key never changes back; in fact in extreme cases it might keep on getting higher... check out Bobby Darin's Mack the Knife for sheer chutzpah.)
It's less common for a solo to use a different sequence (and key) from the rest of the song. Usually solos are based on existing (vocal) sections of the song.
There are several conventional ways of changing key - good summary here:

Milage may vary, but you could try selecting the tracks of the albums you don't think are working properly, use Get Info. to set Part of Gapless Album to No, apply the change, then set it to Yes and apply again.

Smart phones for behavioral health care
Armed With Science blog
The smart phone you carry is more than just a communications device. You have as much computing power in your pocket as a desktop PC of 10 years ago or a room-size mainframe of 30 or 40 years ago.
One of the many things you can do with your pocket powerhouse is facilitate behavioral health care, writes Julie Weckerlein at the Defense Department's "Armed With Science" blog. Available applications offer help for such common needs as assessing symptoms, locating resources and tracking health conditions.
"For example, the 'T2 Mood Tracker' is an app that allows users to self-monitor emotional experiences associated with deployment-related behavioral health issues," she writes. "This technology is useful because it allows users to collect real-time health data, monitor their own progress and share this data with their health care provider."
The app is available for iPhone and Android devices.
Who are Fannie and Freddie?
Government Book Talk blog
If you turn to the government for a good book recommendation, don't expect to hear about Stephen King, J.K. Rowling or even Doris Kearns Goodwin.
The mission of the Government Printing Office's blog is to shed light on important federal publications. So unless King or Rowling go to work for the government, they will never be on the list.
The latest recommendation from the "Government Book Talk" blog is "Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Role in the Secondary Mortgage Market" by the Congressional Budget Office.
"Like a lot of people, I've spent many years not knowing exactly what Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac do," writes blogger Jim Cameron, a GPO employee. "Until the housing meltdown, I would have been hard pressed even to tell you whether they were federal agencies or not (they're not — they are government-sponsored enterprises, or GSEs)."
CBO's publication, available online or in book form, explains what Freddie and Fannie do and explores the ramifications of making them either wholly government or wholly private compared to their current hybrid status. The book "seems like a great guide for policy-makers and anyone interested in the backwash from the great housing debacle of the past few years," Cameron concludes.
Invasion of the photo snappers
Digital Preservation blog
Butch Lazorchak might be just a bureaucrat in some people's eyes, but he can pander with the best elected official. A digital archivist at the Library of Congress' National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP), Lazorchak writes about how he managed to win over a room of eighth graders from Imagine Schools' South Lake Middle School who were in town from Florida for the traditional end-of-year field trip to the nation's capital.
His secret weapon? The teenagers' fondness for taking and sharing photos on their cell phones, which is the devices' second most popular feature for teens, after texting, according to the Pew Research Center.
Lazorchak and his colleagues prepared a presentation to help the kids understand how to capture, describe and preserve their digital photos, which included a warning about using social networks as primary storage options. History has shown that those sites don't last forever.
The Library of Congress launched the "Digital Preservation" blog May 31 to complement its other public outreach efforts. "NDIIPP is trying to influence behavior on a number of levels, first and foremost by raising awareness of digital preservation issues and spurring people to take personal action to preserve their own materials in the current absence of comprehensive tools to help them do so," Lazorchak writes. "After all, the personal photographs of the students at South Lake could become the valuable cultural heritage materials of tomorrow, but only if the students take care of them first."
Art unplugged
Eye Level blog
Tierney Sneeringer, a program assistant at the Smithsonian's Luce Foundation Center for American Art in Washington, D.C., created the Luce Unplugged series of free monthly concerts that feature local musicians who perform and choose a work of art to be the focus of an accompanying talk.
Sneeringer told Mandy, one of the Smithsonian's "Eye Level" bloggers, that the idea for the series originated during a panel discussion at the American Association of Museums' 2010 conference. A panelist from a nonprofit arts organization in Los Angeles "told a story about a musician who followed museum visitors around while playing songs about the artwork," Sneeringer said. "From then on, I was on a mission to have live music in the Luce Center."
When asked what she would do with an unlimited budget and free rein, Sneeringer started off with a vision of world-famous musicians performing and ended with a more mundane idea: "The other day a visitor suggested we get bean bag chairs — that could be fun. We are in the middle of planning something extra special for the fall so everyone should stay tuned!"

John Travolta Accused of Forcing Eden Roc Masseur to Grope His Balls
Somewhere in Miami there's a masseur named Jeff. If you run into him, buy the poor bastard a drink or an appetizer or something -- he's been through enough already. Jeff was just trying to give John Travolta a massage at the Eden Roc when Mr. Saturday Night Fever grabbed his hand and forced him to touch his scrotum while he jerked off -- and then left a measly $20 tip.
So says Jeff, at least, who is withholding his last name but has joined a federal lawsuit by three other masseurs all claiming Travolta abused them during rub-downs.
Jeff, whose claims were first reported in the New York Daily News, came to attorney Okorie Okorocha after reading about the two other John Does who filed suit against Travolta two weeks ago.
"Hearing about all the cases now, I regret not saying something sooner," Jeff tells the Daily News.
Here's what he says went down: While working at the Eden Roc back in 2000, the now 46-year-old gave Travolta a massage.
The actor soon grabbed his hand and forced him to rub his inner thighs, he says, at one point forcing him to touch his scrotum. Jeff pulled away, but Travolta persisted.
"I started working on his other leg, and it all started back up again. He started putting his butt up in the air," he tells the Daily News. "I was just trying to do whatever I could to distract him, but he started getting aggressive and grabbed my hand again."
By the end of the session, Travolta was openly masturbating, Jeff claims, and told him, "It's OK ... no one's going to know."
The Miami masseur's claims are similar to those aired in court by the three other men, all anonymous. (The original two plaintiffs have pulled out of Okorocha's suit but intend to file a new case with celebrity attorney Gloria Alred.)
Travolta hasn't addressed Jeff's claims, but as to the earlier suit, his rep called the accusations "complete fiction and fabrication."

Planning, Innovation Pave Way for Riverbank to Turn Ammo Plant into 'Green' Business Park
- May 15, 2014
- comments: 0
Suffering from one of the nation's highest unemployment rates at the time the Riverbank Army Ammunition Plant closed in 2010, the city of Riverbank, Calif., could not afford any further economic setbacks as it began to carry out the redevelopment plan which called for retaining the site's light industrial focus with a "green" twist. Four short years later, the mixed-use business park located in the heart of California's Central Valley has quadrupled its number of tenants, and now is home to 36 companies employing 300 people with an additional 75 workers anticipated to be hired later this year. The Riverbank Industrial Complex generates a $31 million local economic impact, almost four times its annual economic contribution prior to closure …

About the Host, Marcello
we are located in Jimbaran on the Bukit, with a magnificent 180 degree views of Bali.
Close to our place, likely in our backyard, we have one of the famoust temples; Goa gong.
This spiritual centre is giving our place the feeling of living in "the middle nowhere" with all goodvibes. But in short distance, 15 minutes to the western world....
Yoga sessions at silent places like secret beaches, are one of the opportunities!
On a short drive you find some of Bali's white secret beaches, famous surfing beach as Padang Padang, Jimbaran's Fish Market, Finch Asmara, Nammos Beach Club (Karma Kandara) or Bali's gorgeous Rock Bar for a sunset cocktail.

Lions running back Jahvid Best fumbles the ball in the first quarter Friday in Cleveland. The second-year back may have suffered a concussion during the game. / Phil Masturzo/Akron Beacon Journal
Jahvid Best said he felt a little "woozy."
He's not alone. His possible concussion on the Lions' first play from scrimmage Friday night in Cleveland inspired more than a few wobbling knees. There must be legitimate concerns now that Best is developing the same injury-prone reputation as quarterback Matthew Stafford.
The Lions insisted it wasn't a big deal, declining to officially categorize it as a concussion. It's uncertain whether Best will practice this afternoon. Best assured reporters following the game that if this were the second game of the regular season, he would've promptly returned. Coach Jim Schwartz said they had already decided to pull Best from the game even before trainers checked him for a potential concussion.
But Best naturally dominated the discussion in the aftermath of the Lions' 30-28 comeback victory over the Browns; the Lions can't afford to have their running game dinged again after losing promising rookie Mikel Leshoure for the season with an Achilles injury.
"I am not sure what the situation is," Stafford said when asked about Best. "But we'll see."
Unfortunately, Stafford knows "the situation" all too well.
It doesn't matter how fast and efficient the first-team offense has looked through the first half of the exhibition season, there will remain questions about it reaching its full potential until Stafford proves he can survive physical punishment without missing games and requiring surgery. Best is now tagged with the same question mark considering two turf-toe injuries that hampered his rookie season last year and a concussion history at California that will be revisited if team doctors determine he sustained one Friday, even if it's considered minor.
"Something didn't feel right," Best said after he gained 9 yards on a short swing pass on the first snap. He remained in the game for two more plays, both running calls. Best lost a fumble on the third play. It's uncertain if his admitted light-headedness contributed to the fumble. He was done for the evening. Trainers were seen briefly observing him on the sideline before leaving for the locker room.
The Lions were understandably vague. Teams must be more careful now regarding possible head injuries with the NFL's more stringent concussion policy. They want to be absolutely sure. Let's hope the speedy running back's optimism will prove correct and the injury is nothing.
But nobody can automatically dismiss the possibility of another frustrating example of what I've long diagnosed as "Lions' Luck." Even when they do the right thing, surrounding themselves with the right players, something always goes wrong.
The Lions have steadily amassed a nice array of offensive weapons since taking Stafford with the first overall selection in the 2009 draft. But the time in which they've had all of them healthy and available at the same time went by as fast as an eye blink. We still haven't seen second-round pick, receiver Titus Young, as he's still nursing a hamstring injury.
It's great news that Stafford emerged from the first two exhibition games without a scratch. It helps that nobody has touched him in 32 plays. A couple of times against the Browns, he scrambled from pressure and smartly dumped the ball safely out of bounds rather than taking the sack -- or worse, taking an unnecessary hit.
The unavoidable hits are coming, and only then will real answers emerge.

Mick Jagger in Talks to Adapt '20 Feet From Stardom' for TV, Broadway (Exclusive)
Jagger and Victoria Pearman would executive produce the one-hour scripted drama alongside the film's director, Morgan Neville.
PARK CITY -- Mick Jagger is in talks to turn the Oscar-nominated documentary 20 Feet From Stardom into a one-hour scripted TV series and a Broadway musical.
Jagger and Victoria Pearman would executive produce the TV series through their Jagged Films banner alongside the film's producer and director, Morgan Neville.
Like the film, the series and the musical adaptations would follow the lives of backup singers who perform in the shadows of some of the biggest music stars in the business. The film took a look at the history of backup singers, but the TV series would only depict contemporary performers.
Talks are ongoing that also would bring some of the singers featured in the documentary to the Broadway version, including Darlene Love and Lisa Fischer. Love is no stranger to Broadway, having appeared in Hairspray. Love and Fischer, Merry Clayton and Judith Hill have been making the rounds during awards season, including singing the national anthem at the Rose Bowl.

20 Feet From Stardom debuted at Sundance last year, when it was acquired by Radius-TWC. The crowd-pleasing pic went on to become the highest-grossing documentary of the year and an Oscar nominee for best documentary. Neville is on hand at Sundance this year as a documentary juror.
Though Jagger isn't a producer on the 20 Feet From Stardom documentary, he appears extensively in interviews and footage.
Jagger and Pearman are repped by CAA.
Neville is handled by WME.
Jagger is featured on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter's Music Issue, which also includes Lorde, Of Monsters and Men and other top international acts.

text: Stayed here for 3 nights and was very pleased with the hotel. The room was nice, modern and clean. I liked that the toilet was seperated from the shower room inside the bath. The breakfast and lunch was excellent with lots of warm dishes and nice salads. The staff was very polite and efficient and that includes the staff in the reception area, the bar, breakfast room and the room service as well as the house keeping. I really enjoyed my stay here. The wifi worked well in the room - and the hotel didn't charge anything extra for the wifi.
