This song is for my mother
Let her hear me cry
I couldn't bring myself to write it
'Til this darkened day arrived
A song about old promises
Made so long ago
Created and cremated
Ashes of the words I spoke
Long separated by the miles
Distanced from her golden smiles
Memory of a mother
Shared my dreams and really cared
Long separated by the miles
Distanced from her golden smiles
I know I wasn't there……
For you
Would have placed
A magic carpet
'neath your weak and shaky legs
Would have raised
A strong west wind
Let you breathe with ease again
Would have bribed
God's venal angels
Come and soothe your endless pain
Would have vanquished
All the demons
And bring peace to you again
Be the child
I never knew
In a land
We won't grow old
Be the light
I always loved
Warmed my dark
And lonely soul
Be the girl
Playing games
In a world
The sun won't set
Be the laughter
Calms my heart
I never will forget
I won't forget, won't forget
This song is for my mother
Let her hear me cry
Couldn't bring myself to write it
'Til this darkened day arrived
Song about old promises
Made so long ago
Ashes of the words I spoke
I broke my promises, oh mama
Now you've gone away
I'm broken
Drowning in the pain each day
I'm drowning…drowning...drowning…drowning
This song is for my mother
Let her hear me…….

Dropped some purple haze with Jimi -
we created castles out of polished beach glass,
then we fused with acid-laced clouds.
Kissed the sky
so high.
Jimi started bawling,
his torrential tears washed us down and out to sea.
Each drop of water became a pixel,
until reality morphed into a painting of musical notes,
and the music transformed back into a fresh reality.
There wasn't any more doubt
whether we were experienced now -- and how.
The tide washed us up into heavy crosstown traffic.
Jimi wandered down Voodoo Blvd,
I became a hoodoo child
gobbling up sugar cubes filled with liquid sunshine.
I watched the yellow cabs race by,
watched the heavy metal race by.
Jimi was jacked into electric ladyland,
his radiant smile, hiding pain
and covering other people's lies.
Even so, Jimi believed in his message,
sincerity set him apart from the crowd,
which is why he made sure
not to let his smile, wither and die.
But the more that his manager pushed,
the more that Jimi's pusher came....
Jimi was hypnotized by the flashbulbs of fame,
attempting to out-run a childhood filled with shame -
blowing out speaker stacks
with that twisted pedal magic,
spellbinding incantations
vibrated from his guitar,
making love to the sky with rainbow hues
of acid rock-induced rolling blues.
Jimi simply wanted someone to love him back
even half as much as he could,
for Jimi's love was honest and hard,
with wings waiting to be released
into a world not yet ready to be fully free.
Kissed the sky.
Kiss the sky
so high.

You were my raindrop and I was your cloud…
We spoke in whispers that were heard out aloud…
I was your teardrop and you were my eyes…
You saw in colors my dreams pass by…
You were my hands and I was your grasp…
We felt our way through the dark and over the past…
You were the letters and I was the word…
We rhymed our way across the sky like wings of a bird…
Together we sleep under rain that has passed…
Holding each other in a love that will last…

(Yes- these song lyrics are mega cliché, but- I wrote them for someone dear to my heart; therefore, they are Soup worthy).
Oh, you're doing everything you can
When you're trying to become a better man-
But these demons keep on holding you back.
Yeah, you're doing everything you can
When nothing goes quite as you plan-
But I know you'll get back on the right track.
When it all seems too far gone,
And you feel like you can't keep going on-
Just remember this my friend:
The hardships only make us stronger in the end.
The past doesn't define who we are,
Even if it leaves us with these scars.
No, the past can't define who we are,
It can only leave us with some scars.
Oh, you're doing everything you can
To attain something so much bigger than
The life that you've been given.
Yeah, you're doing everything you can
When nothing goes quite as you plan-
But I know you'll never give in
When it all seems too far gone,
And you feel like you can't keep going on-
'Cause you'll remember this my friend:
These hardships only make you stronger in the end.
The past doesn't define who we are,
Even if it leaves us with these scars.
No, the past can't define who we are,
It can only leave us with some scars.
Though a broken road has your feet glued to the ground,
And it seems all hope is nowhere to be found-
Just remember this my friend:
All these broken things can mend…
'Cause the past doesn't define who we are,
Even if it leaves us with these scars.
No, the past can't define who we are,
It can only leave us with some scars.

Growing up
My father and me
He did the best he could
Because once we were three
Events happened
And then we were two
His rise and demise
As his life withdrew
Looking back, to the memories we had
They never lasted for years
Some great, some sad
For an ill man he did his best
And in me, I have his zest
He never recovered from the loss of his son
To say goodbye to the elder one
He was hospitalised for months and years
On the day he was taken, uncontrollable tears
The years we shared
Fifteen in all
In every one
He helped me grow tall
To appreciate, what life will give
Remember your past, let your future live
He's all around me every day
For on the wind I hear him say
Enjoy your life, live happily
I hope you get to the land of the free
My reply to you Dad
As you look down on me
The Aura around you
The man I hope to be
" Happy Fathers Day to you Dad, I still miss you, your loving son James "

Out of time that's long forgotten,
in a light that's yet unknown,
you could see me in the morning,
I would be there, but alone,
weaving tapestries from fibers
of someone who'd never guess,
she is part of dreams and vision,
and somebody's happiness.
But she would know someone was there.
I'd touch her now if I would dare.
And she would know I'm always there.
There's a story and it's Celtic,
"We must love all things, to see
how a raindrop loves the flower,
but the flower loves a bee."
In the tapestry I'm weaving,
I have told this story well,
and the dream she is a part of,
is the other tale I tell.
She knows someone has touched her mind.
I'm always there for her to find.
And she is always on my mind.
It's a love beyond a question,
but a love that's out of place,
out of time and out of reason,
but unable to erase.
In the tapestry I'm weaving ,
there's no differences to see,
she is rising from the ocean
to a love God's meant to be.
...And she has known a love that's good.
.....Though it is never understood.
........But she'll remember love is good.

I'm haunted by the words you wrote
Tell me what you want from me
Don't tell me what I want to hear
Tell me how you really feel
I could be everything for you and more
I'm telling you now I want more
I'm telling you I want to be with you
I want all of you...
Do you want to be with me?
I know you're confused
I'm confused too, confused by you
It's okay to be scared
I'm here for you, I'll hold your hand
This is a risk I'm willing to take
But the decision is yours to make
You write of walking a straight line
I'm here to tell you that now's the time
Now's the time to face your fears
Now's the time and I'm right here
Now's the time for us to shine
Come on baby, let's chase those butterflies

While you sleep I tell you all of the things I keep inside throughout day.
Now that you can hear but not listen I find them much easier to say.
My hopes, my dreams, my fears, and everything in between
Your subconscious hears so keen, or so it seems.
My tongue is soft; I speak so sweetly
Knowing your reaction will never greet me.
Tonight will be different in what I want you to know.
It has everything to do with what I can't help but show.
I hold no claim to any religion but you've given me a place for my faith.
Somewhere it will never stale or lose its lavish taste.
You've shown me something I can see, touch, and feel,
And so before it I choose to kneel.
I know I don't say it but I miss you every day.
Sitting, thinking of the perfect words to be my choice,
Yet when you call I can't find any of the right words to say.
I'm just happy to finally hear your voice.
Even just a moment is enough to sooth my heavy heart;
Fearing the ends of conversations knowing we'll have to part.
I'll never be too far from you, always within arm's reach,
And in your days of darkness I'll be the light that you will seek.
I'll never let you leave too far from me, I'll stay close behind you in this world;
Secretly protecting what is mine, you will always be my girl.
I only want the best for you so the best of me I will employ.
Faithfully yours, I will always be your boy.
I close my eyes and kiss your soft sweet lips
And see the very best of you in loving bliss.
I see past the physical which makes you attractive
And focus on the things I can't see in which I'm attracted.
Your thoughts I'd love to hear them all.
Of the things you speak disinterest never makes its call.
My day will come, I know someday I'll be the only one.
And you I will pursue viciously,
Because I've given you the greatest gift I can give, to love unconditionally.
Yes our day will come, I know someday we'll be as one.
And you I will pursue viciously,
Because I've given you the greatest gift I can give… to love unconditionally.

Another song written in middle school - edited of course. ;)
[Verse 1]
I'm trapped within these walls
Never to leave at all
I am the prisoner inside my own home
My spirit is broken
I do not believe
I'm locked in this chamber which I cannot leave
The needles that break the skin
The anger that runs within
I'm giving it all away
Just to stay alive
The needles that pierce my veins
It will never be the same
We're on pins and needles now
It's how we survive
[Verse 2]
They say he'll find me soon
Got to get out of this room
The blood will spill and he'll take what he wants to
I'll never let him through
He whispers in darkness, "I'm not who I seem…"
[Verse 3]
The four walls around me
They start to close in
I know I'm too late now
I know I can't win
So just tell me I'm crazy
It's all in my head
You're not the killer
And I am not dead
Don't tell me it's impossible
To start it all over again
Infection sinks through your pale skin
You'll curse the day that I'm dead

In this world of Uncertainties
I'm the man that you can trust
And in my words of sincerity
That my love would never last.
And if you could only feel, what i feel for you
You can ask me "why?" so you can see the truth
Like our love that tightens the rope,
Like a light that would give us hope.
As you watch the dark skies
Let me grab the moon for you,
And as I catch the bright stars
That's the way you can see me through
As this planet turns as it always will
And things go wrong and you don't know what to feel
Hold my hand for it will make us strong
Like a wind, we will carry on
The wind blow that sings a hymn for you
For they know what does love means for the two
Love is blind, and not deaf
So how's success if you're not ready to bet?
In this poem with full of rhymes,
A full of love, Babe can you be mine?
I don't expect too much from you
Why should I? If you complete my whole.
"Till death do us part" that's what they have said
But why do struggles crash them ahead?
Don't ask me when my love will last,
To count all of our quarrels, is that a must?
Now and Forever is all that I promise
No day dreaming and without reminiscence
As the matter of time, as the time passes by
Together we stand, together you and I

A first free verse Poem and a lyric Song for Y. 2014:
A Poem:
(Free Verse Lyric)
I was broken when you met me
You gave me hope and courage,
Your words were enough strength
To bring back my heart a whole again.
I learned to love you more and more
Each day, dearest friend of mine,
To know that you are leaving
These teardrops fall from my eyes.
I will be faithful to you till the end of time
Whether you are far or near,
Forever in my heart I'll keep you dear
I'll be waiting for you even under the rain or storm
I'll try to be strong although my heart is torn.
Through you I found a new way
While you lovingly hold my hands
As I write my joys and my pains
You never leave me behind
When the sun shines in your day
Or the stars are seen above you,
Think of me that I'm always here
Wishing and praying the best for you
I will be waiting for you even under the rain or storm
I will be faithful to you…
God, please give us strength to go on.

A poem and a song I composed also with the inspiration from verse of
SIRACH "A faithful friend is a treasure beyond price".
In A Song:
I was broken when you met me
You gave me hope and courage
Your words were enough strength
To bring back my heart a whole again
I learned to love you more and more
Each day, Oh dearest friend/love of mine
To know that you are leaving
These teardrops fall from my eyes
I will be faithful to you till the end of time
Whether you are far or near
Forever in my heart
I'll keep you, Oh dear/love of mine
I'll be waiting for you even under the rain or storm
I'll try to be strong although my heart is torn
Through you I found a new way
While you lovingly hold my hands
As I write/share my joys and my pains
You never leave me behind
(Back to chorus)
When the sun shines in your day
Or the stars are seen above you
Think of me that I am always here
Wishing and praying the best for you
(Back to Chorus)
Refrain: I will be waiting for you even under the rain or storm
I will be faithful to you
Oh God, please give us strength to go on

"In this life there's been heartache and pain"
How could I begin to find love again
Desperado walking a tightrope
I looked down and Daniel gave me hope
"The first time ever I saw your face"
Cold heart melted, longed for your embrace
Your compassion and character shone
No longer could I live all alone
"You took my love and you took it down"
Felt lighter than air with feet on the ground
A love without chains, a soul unbound
But walls closed in as I watched you drown
"In a New York minute everything can change"
Sometimes life takes twists that seem strange
A human chain was formed to find my man
Reaching up was Daniel's lifeless hand
Efforts to save, resuscitate
Proved futile to fight the hands of fate
Casket sent home, called his folks to explain
"Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane"

In great respect of the band I grew up listening to
as sure as Mom passed down Saturday Chores
for I had been chosen to scrub bathroom floors `
Yet a familiar sound would bring me to keep scrubbing
The red album, The blue album , The White album
Then .. Abbey Road , always remembering the sad look on
Ringo's face , something hard to understand underneath~
I get it now, what you were saying all those years ago ,
the many sad lonely tears , secret tears , secret fears
For Maxwell's Hammer was a real one . It wanted silence
Going back ..remembering when John Lennon died
I was in Arkansas saddened with the world .
Then seeing his face saying " Drag isn't it "
No .. this was not my hero in music and song .
he was a stand in hired William , he filled his shoes
bringing diversity to create so much beautiful music from loss
One left standing , alone;; grief struck on back cover ~
The other identity hidden, tried to be part of ..coming together
his world of secrets
He to suffers today , in fear , Faul~
Too many years gone by .let us tell the Truth. Let us be free
The very sad long and winding Road ~
Let us Bury our real Paul.
No more " Mystery tour "
No more fear
Let him be in peace ~

You're the reason I love this music,
You're the reason I joined the movement.
Five shots in one night,
Sweat after a big fight,
We're just living life.
The stage is on fire, these folks love it,
My memory is a playlist -- filled with your hits,
My heart is a drum beating to when you say things.
You're the reason I love this,
You're the reason behind your lyrics,
You're the reason I appreciate
The wonderful moments your videos create.
I was floating on misery, until you caught me,
I was filled with envy, until I became me.
You taught to see the light,
You're the reason there's a bright in my nights.
You're reason I came here to write this,
You're the reason I follow the club scenes.
You're the reason the microphone is a song on it's own,
You're the reason I held to my own.
You inspired the kid,
Now I'm going to inspire some kids.

We knew , it was if a moment stopped in time
hearing the news before most of the World did
He loved to fly his plane from Colorado to Monterey Bay
He was a avid golfer at Pebble Beach respected
He had loves and passions from many places
deciding to fly low through the overcast red sunset
Not only did he love music and inspire all
He loved his Plane , he will always remain a beautiful Soul
The next day it was confirmed ..all saddened
It was John Denver's plane that went down
Today in Pacific Grove stands the Memorial
So Kiss me and smile for me we will ~
always in loving memory
OH babe , do we hate you go ~

Radiant hymn's of morning sun
of Godly words O' how I run
to and fro
I traipse in search
in love I rest
still my spirit yearns
I will sing of the Lord's great love
I hear the call upon the hill
in shallow breath my heart lie still
O' trial O' fear
I march ahead
I call my king
on Zion's perch
I will sing of the Lord's great love
To proclaim everlasting the prize
onward and bestowed to rise
O' anointed one
I march ahead
in love I rest
each day of toil
I will sing of the Lord's great love
I will sing
O' how I bear in my heart
in completion just to be a part
with sinful flesh
my spirit cries
I call my King
to shun desire
I will sing of the Lord's great truth
I shall sing forever

Lou Reed , Mistral of his time
so you walked this road on the wild side
unique in music , never selling out
believing in Art instead of commercialize
Lou Reed the musician never compromised ~
Sweet Jane not enough for our crowd of eccentric rockers
still will live forever with the many that left before you
one can imagine from John Lennon to Johnny Ramone
a party in Heaven of the finest rock bestowed
no text , no MTV when they pursued a dream
New York, hotel Chelsea an age of Renaissance
ragged jeans and leather jackets ,Art on stage
No, your Rock not ever fade away , it will stay sweet Jane forever ~
For the fine Man with words , ode to Lou Reed .
A burst of white light
gamma rays, overbearing
a flash of brilliance
burns through to my soul
everything is like hell
the world starts to melt
in the blink of an eye
just the cold blackness
of night
I don't care if I am not again
what I once was, for at this moment
I am greater now
than ever before
I took the path between
teetering, tight roping walking
right up to my right
divined in my unholy state
I thought I told you
I am your king
still you sit there, hesitating
I know you hate me
what does that mean?
I hate just about everything
still I'm chosen
I did not wish before
now bow down to me
refuse me no more
for I shall always be your demon
until you accept me as your King.
I don't even know you
though you say we used to be
best of friends, you and me
the day you ditched me
I remember now
exactly how it played out
back when we were just tiny things
even back then I still was King
you thought me stupid
just a ruse
I would laugh inside, you see?
not one of you single, mean people
ever even knew me
in a world, mostly seen to me
that is why only I can be your true King
and bring forth a new source
of light everlasting.
As two worlds collide slowly aligned
one wrapped in shadows
one bathed in white
evils swirling in the clouds above
I'll always be the king you love
to hate or despise as in your blood
I thought I told you, I am the one
I am the way, the way out shall be shown
breathe in my spirit as it carries you away
breathe in my faith it shall carry your empty space
and deposit you gently on a cloud just enough
higher than you've ever dreamed of
for I am king now, and your in my hell
your in my imagination, I'll just never tell
you'll feel as though dreaming, you'll feel now
if you try and see
you were always found the most
shared in the light cast upon me
the last bright star in heaven.
Denounce my name, if you may
One year later, still not afraid
A black sheep, a darkened spade
That's just life, I'm not right
I'm in the wrong, follow along
Like a piper, I'll pitch a song
Mesmerized, the weak wills sing
I thought he told you, he's still our king.

As I place the pen
on paper
my soul beings
to bleed
upon the pages
my secret longings
hopes and dreams
of which I hope to be,
how I want to reflect me
transpire into the universe
within my poetic lyricism
the warm sweet smoke
of my vega blunt
swirls about me, flickers
in and out of motion
as the vanilla candle nearby
fights the shadows in my room
the cool summer breeze
from my window
carries dancing sinsemilla
fog around me, allowing
my mind
to adventure elsewhere
into the nights abyss
of minutes, turned to hours
I write
pages, of words
scribbling my life, struggles
and fears
Bob Marley and Lauryn Hills
"turn your lights down low"
beat inspirational peacefulness
on my eardrums
my small hands delicately pluck
my imaginary guitar strings
as I join her in a solo, Miss Hill's
magical voice cracks
with emotion, and my soul
tingles with excitement
For creativity flows
within my veins
I breath real music, such as
she, as soon as daylight opens
thine dark brown eyes to see
The poetic flowetry, carries me
and speaks to me
the notes capture my inner
disturbance and desires
until the soundtrack of my day
takes me into Summers night
thoughts of my dreams
of being a published poet
clearly float
into my sight
Then, I sit
as I place my pen
upon the paper
black and white turn to one
and my soul bleeds
onto pages
into an early sun

Broken Love Slam
How did it come to this
I told you by mail I wasn't piss.
You sure where acting all up into me
Now its over suddenly
You are more than a best friend
Opening my door with one touch from your hand
My thoughts of you are not easy to understand
hmm? Now your like whatever man
That is fine it was not my fault
Never in my wildest dream I ever imagined,
You could give me the best thought out of anything
that comes along my way.
Happiness does not mean I want to posses everything
Happiness is the smile you bring upon my face
You do not have to be by my side to kiss me goodnight
Once you logoff it like the best conversation to ever ignite.
Do you not recall that one simple song.
"Don't know what you got till its gone."
The truth is,
I did not know what I was missing till I met you.
How about that song,
"Every rose has it's thorn."
Just like the song (yes) it feels wrong.
Being many miles away and alone,
I am not searching out for looks,
For what so at the end day he will be an empty book.
Better yet I was not searching to please my heart.
Now you filled it with smiles brought from many miles apart
I can feel your smiles,
that is why I always reply to you as My Sweet.
You might not be strong enough to believe in hope,
You edge walker makes me wonder if you are even human.
It's just funny how it took you to make my boat float.
Life lesson learned love starts off with many smiles
Buy the time I hit 100 smiles,
you are all I am think of.
I will sure miss them e-kisses, I will hold back the tears.
How about them roses, you would whispers in my ears.
I will end my broken love slam.
With the real message I left for you.
You are what you are, and I am who I am
Life allows us to pass the wrong ones first.
We both fell for eachother, now I wonder what the heck am I cursed.

if you can see into the depths of my heart
you would hear it sing the saddest song
for those who have looked for meaning in tragedy
for those have suffered terminally
for i have fallen just like them
i have been forsaken
i've looked into your eyes and i see my own reflection
i see the tears you have cried
i know you are alone and afraid
your innocence betrayed
but look into these eyes
i have struggled and suffered just like you
grab my hand you'll no longer be alone
just think this through
for i have fallen just like you
let's stop this trend of sinking
for we are not alone
together we can break this threshold
locked in this embrace
together we will not break
bound together by something stronger than super glue
will you think this through?
will you realize that i'm just like you?
just look into this heart
don't let this world tear us apart
for i have suffered just like you
together we shall never fall
nothing can push our backs up against a wall
we will break through!
believe in me! i believe in you!

O Lord God Almighty
How marvelous is Thy name
Thou O God sit high and look low
Thou art worthy to be praised
Thou sayest "I am in you"
Thou sittest at the right hand of the Father
In my finite mind I understand
How elevated, Jesus Savior,
Thou hast placed me
Sitting on a man made throne
High above the clouds
I get a glimpse of Heaven
And how condescending a God I serve
For, to step down from such glory
Where dwellest purity and love
Holiness and beauty beyond compare
Just to save a wretch like me
It must be love
It must be endless and abiding love
It must be love far beyond any other love
O Blessed Jesus, with thanks and gratitude
With every cell, with every muscle
Every sinew, every inch of my flesh
Every organ, every bone
That you have connected
With such infinite wisdom
I give you praise
I give you glory
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Amen and amen
Thanks for your inspiration sir.

Some night you'll wake before morning
Sweatin to the oldies she will sing.
She'll make you think you're in Heaven...
Long enough to tell you ANYTHING...
And you'll believe her.
Some night you'll wake up hearing voices
Sweatin to the oldies of here life.
She'll never say you're in Heaven.
Or tell you you've been sleeping with the Devil's Wife.
She'll never tell you, you've been sleeping with the Devil's wife.
But you will KNOW.
You will know.
That's when you'll need her.
That's when you'll love her the most.
That's when you will die.
Sleeping with the Devil's wife.
That's when you will die.

if ever i had two hours with you… or three,
the vacancy of this quaint café and barren
shores would be refilled with the pouring
of pink- frosted air on our glass-window's past;
the multitude of disheveled suns ripping
arms of surrender; raged midnights ending
into carmine mornings; swallowed inches of stars
turning into lyrics replayed. and what splendor to
infect the whiteness or redness of seasons'
fingers wearing the pains and gains of many
a porcelain days. then,
to recall the sevens and nines of time's scalpel
cutting our names into crumpled paper: a departure
of hearts traveling in different territories.
we inched away,
not because of lack for vows marked in deepest
sands. but… by fate's desire to cart you in
a faraway land, while i.. i burned telephone lines
hiding beneath the long distance of regrets…
yearning for your comeback instead
of stamped letters thousands of miles so
removed from alleys where our arms used to walk,
we side-tracked along with stooping songs
that gently genuflected…
if and when we meet again, two or three hours
by time's grace, oh the fluttering of a thousand
thoughts would not be enough to say you were
the trunk that got away, and i was your last rose
that lost its stem.

Ornette Coleman: Beauty is a Rare Thing
Beauty is a Rare Thing
Ornette Coleman (alto sax)
This is Our Music (Atlantic 1353)
Ornette Coleman (alto sax), Don Cherry (pocket trumpet), Charlie Haden (bass), Ed Blackwell (drums).
Recorded: New York, August 2, 1960
Rating: 89/100 (learn more)
John Millington Synge once noted that for poetry to become human again, it must first learn to be brutal. Forget for the moment the precepts of harmolodics or the pieties of free jazz: Ornette Coleman's philosophy of music is not much different from the sentiments expressed in Synge's aphorism. This is the rare beauty he celebrates in the title of this seven-minute performance. The brutality in Coleman's instance was directed toward the vocabulary of modern jazz, which he pares down with a vengeance on this track. His solo is plaintive and liberated from any lingering traces of bop or blues or big band, those three B's of postwar jazz which were to Coleman's contemporaries as constitutive as Bach, Beethoven and Brahms to the symphonists of an earlier age.
Ornette starts with simple melodic phrases here, and when he finally moves beyond them it is to engage in some perfunctory squeals and shrieks on the horn—delivered, alas, without much conviction. (But his Free Jazz session, only a few weeks in the future, would be a different matter entirely.) Cherry is folksy in a diatonic way, but tosses in at least an occasional bit of syncopation to remind us that, yes, this is our jazz music. Blackwell fights his own battle against the tyranny of a swinging beat, and teaches us that the biggest challenge the freedom fighters faced was often in the persistence of the pulse, which typically proves more difficult to avoid than the chord changes. Haden is off in his own arco soundspace, and keeps the walking lines under lock and key. A rare thing indeed . . .

I didnt learn one thing from the review above. Thanx to the shallow level of jazz commentary no one will really hear the significance of the music on this track. A ballad that redefines the ballad form and the jazz ensemble, no one did this in 1960 and still cant

"I felt the scholarship funding allowed me to explore more of what the University offered beyond the classroom and put me in touch with people who helped me have a full and vibrant experience while in school."
The Office of Fellowships & Scholar Programs is the home base for Carolina, Stamps Carolina, McNair, Hamilton and Horseshoe Scholars. Here they are provided advisement and support on a full and vibrant array of high-impact opportunities that distinguish them in their pursuit of national fellowships, internship placements, acceptance to graduate schools, and employment. Our scholars view their funding as an opportunity, not simply a reward for academic achievement. And they are among some of the most giving, spirited and appreciative students at Carolina.
Clayton Buckaloo, Stamps Carolina Scholar sophomore from Charleston, South Carolina; majoring in International Business:
"When I discovered and seized the opportunity to travel to China with the Confucius Institute, I was able to merge my curiosity for wold cultures, interest in international business, and unyielding desire to have a personal experience in China. I realized that in order to begin to understand China, I have to learn about the Chinese people. Traveling is learing about the people. This generation is one of world citizens, of which I am thrilled to get to know. Our scholars have no limits in pursuing their dreams."
Our scholars have no limits in pursuing their dreams.
- For fall 2015, at least five scholars were accepted by Ivy League graduate schools - three to Penn, one to Brown and one to Harvard.
- Our Scholar alumni flourish as outdoor educators, business consultants, artists, professors, environmentalists, journalists, parents, clergy, engineers, pharmacists, and more.
- This past academic year, 64 of our scholars traveled to 23 different countries in one academic year. As of summer 2015, 48% of all of our scholars have been abroad at least once..

Family dinners are valuable when it comes to teen's mental health
Cyberbullying is bullying through the use of electronic technology such as computers and cell phones. Over 95% use social networking sites. Almost 43% have been bullied online with one in four kids saying it has happened more than once. Just like traditional bully it can increase the risk of mental health problems such as depression and anxiety. Cyberbullying victimization relates to internalizing, externalizing, and substance use problems in adolescents and that the frequency of family dinners undermines these associations.
Dr. Frank Elgar, PhD, researcher at the Douglas Institute, associate professor, department of psychiatry and Institute for Health and Public Policy, McGill University and author of this study along with colleagues examined the association between cyberbullying and mental health and substance use problems, as well any moderation of the effects by family contact and communication through family dinners.
The study included survey data on 18,834 students (ages 12-18) from 49 schools in a Midwestern state. The authors measured five internalizing problems (anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicide ideation and suicide attempt), two externalizing problems (fighting and vandalism) and four substance use problems (frequent alcohol use, frequent binge drinking, prescription drug misuse and over-the-counter drug misuse).
The results showed almost 19% of the student's re-posted experiencing cyberbullying during the previous year. Cyberbullying was associated with five internalizing mental health problems (anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicide ideation, and suicide attempt), 2 externalizing problems (fighting and vandalism), and 4 substance use problems (frequent alcohol use, frequent binge drinking, prescription drug misuse, and over-the-counter drug misuse).
Family dinners appeared to moderate the relationship between cyberbullying and the mental health and substance use problems. For example, with four or more family dinners per week there was about a 4-fold difference in the rates of total problems between no cyberbullying victimization and frequent victimization. When there were no dinners the difference was more than 7-fold.
In their conclusion the team writes "Cyberbullying relates to mental health and substance use problems in adolescents, even after their involvement in face-to-face bullying is taken into account. Although correlational, these results suggest that family dinners (ie, family contact and communication) are beneficial to adolescent mental health and may help protect adolescents from the harmful consequences of cyberbullying."
In a related editorial, Catherine P. Bradshaw, Ph.D., M.Ed., of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, writes: "The article by Elgar and colleagues highlights the importance of cyberbullying in relation to mental health concerns, with particular interest in the role of families. Their focus on cyberbullying is salient because this is an issue that often challenges schools and policy makers given that it can occur in any context and at any time of the day, and it often spills over from one setting to another."
"The permeability of cyberbullying across contexts and the omnipresence of technology, coupled with the challenges parents face monitoring online activities and communication, make it a particularly appropriate focus of this study. In fact, parents may play a greater role in preventing and helping to intervene in cyberbullying situations than educators owing in part to their direct influence over youths' access to electronic devices."
Dr. Bradshaw notes "The often-secret online life of teens may require parents to step up their monitoring efforts to detect this covert form of bullying."
This study is published in JAMA Pediatrics.

Meet Hannah- Disability Sport Officer at University of Nottingham
Hannah Webber is the disability sport officer at the University of Nottingham. She was recently interviewed by the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA). It provides helpful insight on developing disabled students, as well as supporting lifelong enjoyment in sport.
Meet Hannah...
Tell us a bit about your responsibilities - what does your role entail?
The key aim of my role as Disability Sport Officer is to develop sporting opportunities for disabled students attending the University of Nottingham.
One of my main responsibilities is to get out and speak to students on a regular basis. Their feedback and experiences very much help to shape the programme of activity that we run at the University.
We have set up a referrals process at Nottingham which entitles some disabled students to a 50% discount on their sports membership. It is my responsibility to manage this process online and liaise with the students in person to ensure that things run as smoothly as possible and that they get a good quality service.
I also have a remit for promoting what we as a higher education institution have to offer elite disabled athletes. To date we have been working hard, internally to develop the accessibility of our facilities, sports bursaries, physiotherapy and strength and conditioning support.
I work closely with our Operations Director to ensure that our sports facilities are accessible and I am also currently liaising with him to develop a programme of staff training and awareness sessions. By combining these, we are looking to break down some of the perceived barriers to participation and create a more welcome sporting environment for disabled students and staff.
Continuing on the accessibility theme, I also have a responsibility for developing printed and online literature in the relevant formats. We have a growing number of visually impaired students engaging with sport at the University, so making sure that they are able to view information in large print or Word format is an important element that I need to deliver.
What does a typical day involve?.
Today I arrived in the office just after 9am. I spent the first hour or so catching up on emails and phone calls. I then went over to see my line manager to submit my request for facility bookings for my initiatives for the new academic year.
Just before lunch and after my second coffee of the day, I met with Ben the new Sport and Lifestyles Officer from My Sight Nottinghamshire. I give him a guide of the sports facilities at our University Park campus and then we discussed getting some training dates booked in for a new football project that My Sight are starting up. We're looking to work in partnership on this project and open up opportunities to Nottingham students in a playing, coaching and volunteering capacity.
I then made a quick dash over to the Student Union building, where I had a brief chat with one of the University's Mental Health Advisers and then went on to meet our Sports Marketing Officer. We have just produced a brilliant (yes I'm biased!) video of one of our disabled sports bursars – Thomas Green – which we are looking to actively promote within the higher education sector and out to potential students, coaches and national governing bodies of sport. We agreed a promotional plan and identified that we just needed to confirm timings with our Undergraduate Recruitment team before we progress this.
Pleased with the outcome, I then rushed back to my office to meet with our Operations Director, to speak to him about facility costings for a goalball leaders course that we're running at the University in October 2013 and also confirm a swimming session for our disabled students network. There were some more positive outcomes, so I was pretty chuffed with what I'd achieved by 4pm.
Finally at 5pm, I'm packing up and heading over to our Jubilee Sports Centre, to help run a goalball session for our Active Universities programme – Nu2 Sport. The aim of this project is to introduce the sport to new people and try to encourage them in to our club – the Nottinghamshire Sheriffs – so that they can continue playing this brilliant Paralympic sport longer term.
At 7.30pm once the goalball kit's packed away, I'm off home!
What time do you get to work, what kind of tasks are you involved with? Is it a 9-to-5 role or do you find yourself working late nights/weekends?
My days and the hours that I work tend to differ quite a lot. On an "average" day, I tend to get in for about 9am and usually work through to until about 5pm. I do, however, work some late nights and weekends, especially if I'm running training sessions, focus groups or meeting with students. The need to be flexible and fit in with when the students are available comes with the territory.
I work within the University's Department of Physical Recreation and Sport. We have three main sites, which I work across, although I am based on our main campus – University Park. Although I don't have responsibility for any staff at the moment, I do recruit and manage teams of volunteers for my "Any-Body" projects. This has been challenging but so worthwhile. It's always great to see that so many students are interested and want to support the initiatives that we run.
I also work closely with a number of other teams within the University including the Disability Support Team, Mental Health Advisers and Marketing Team.
What attracted you to the job? How did you get into the industry?
I had always wanted to work in sports development and the role at the University was advertised at just the right time. My previous role had been desk based and I wanted a role where I was actively working with people and sharing my passion for sport. The fact that the post was based at the University in Nottingham, with one of my previous line managers, was also a big draw.
What would you say is your top perk at work?
I enjoy numerous aspects of my role, but I would have to say being given the autonomy to go out and work with people, and develop my own programme of work has been one of my top perks. Through my developmental work with the University's goalball club, I was also lucky enough to be chosen as an official at the 2012 Paralympic Games, which proved to be an absolutely amazing opportunity.
Pictured: Goalball participants at the Paralympics
What has been your biggest career challenge to date? Or give us a feel for the challenges in your role?
I think that the challenges that I face are similar to a lot of other people in the workplace. I find managing different personalities quite a challenge, particularly if they have different goals and ambitions to you. Learning what makes people tick and how to negotiate effectively with them to gain a positive outcome, has definitely been a skill that I've had to work to develop.
I've also had to work quite hard to develop the trust and interest of disabled students in sport and physical activity. A lot of them have had negative experiences of accessing sport previously and are often reticent to engage when they come to University. I've tried my best to overcome this by talking to them, finding out what the perceived barriers are and trying to work on removing those or at the very least making them less significant.
If you weren't doing this role, what would you do? Dream job?
I love what I do now and I think that my dream job would involve continuing to work in the disability sport field. Following on from my experiences at the London 2012 Paralympic Games, I would say that some kind of management role within ParalympicsGB or a national governing body for sport would be that dream achieved!
If you could change one thing about the industry, what would it be?
Within the higher education (HE) sector, there is still a lot of work to be done to ensure disabled students have fair and equal access to sport and physical activity. For me a lot of the work that needs to be done is around developing strong networks, effective communication structures and changing peoples' perceptions around disability sport. We're lucky enough to have some great support from our senior management team at Nottingham and I hope that what we do will become common place within HE.
Post-Olympics - how do you think the industry/sporting landscape will change in the next five years? What are the challenges you're seeing in your role?
That's difficult to answer! I think that since the Paralympic Games, more national governing bodies, higher education institutions and other organisations are starting to look more seriously at their disability sport provision and pathways.
Within the HE sector we are becoming under increasing pressure to demonstrate value for money to students and a positive University experience - sport is a significant part of this process. I hope that the relevant pathways will be put in place by NGBs, NDSOs and British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) to facilitate the development of more sporting opportunities, both participative and competitive, for disabled students.
I think that there will be some challenges along the way, in terms of funding, changing people's perceptions, making facilities more accessible and also getting some groups of disaffected disabled people to engage with sporting activity.

Phoebe Howard
How utterly fabulous is the bed in this room designed by Phoebe Howard?! Her work is incredible; I love looking at her website over and over again. I've never spent any time down south, but when I do, I NEED to hit up her stores Mrs. Howard and Max & Company. Have any of you ever been? Are they as dreamy as I imagine? Tell me all!

Beachy Living Room
Pretty pretty pretty!! Atlanta designer Mimi Williams wanted to have a "beach girl" vibe in this landlocked house, as the owner of the house spent her summers as a child at the beach on Tybee Island where she developed a love of the beach and various shades of turquoise. (I wish I had that excuse!) I love those turquoise leather neoclassical side chairs and all the sea-colored pottery. You can read about this home in Traditional Home, and see more of Mimi's work and shop through her nice selection of antiques here.

Georgia Idea House
This luxurious master bedroom and bathroom come from the Southern Living 2009 Georgia Idea House. The spa-like bathroom ranks right up there as an all-time favorite for me. It's so dreamy with the aqua grasscloth wall coverings, the walnut stained floors, pedestal tub and the mosaic sea-glass tile in the shower. (To get a complete video tour of the bathroom with the designer Mallory Mathison, just head right over here.) I love the aqua combined with the touches of red in the bedroom...the look is so sophisticated. And how cool to have a coffee bar just steps away from the bed...definitely an amenity I could get used to!

Burcu Avsar
The portfolio of photographer Burcu Avsar is a true feast for the eyes (especially the beautiful still-life photographs...seriously...check those out here). These rooms are just so pretty too. I am completely drooling over those round pillows in the first image! And what a cute sitting area in that coastal blue bedroom. I can easily imagine some girls having a grand time gabbing away there!

Muriel Brandolini
This stairwell in a home designed by Muriel Brandolini is so lovely and unique. I've never seen so many types of paper lanterns! The colors of the lanterns and pillows look great against the pretty wall color. And I LOVE the painted steps! What a cozy little place to sit back with a magazine!

O.C. nutrition bar acquires vegan snacksAugust 25th, 2008, 5:00 am by Jan Norman, small-business columnist
Promax Nutrition Corp., the Newport Beach maker of high-protein bars has acquired PURE of Holland, which makes vegan nutrition bars.
The deal, terms of which were not disclosed, adds a complementary product line to Promax's stable of shakes, nutrition additives and food bars.
PURE is in Michigan, not Europe, and was started by Veronica Bosgraaf at her kitchen table when her then 6-year-old daughter wanted to become a vegetarian in 2003. The bars sound more good-for-you than tasty: certified organic, unprocessed, free of gluten, dairy and soy. Full of Omega 3, fiber and protein. But the corporate buyers swear they taste delicious and come in flavors like chocolate brownie.
"PURE Bar is a great complementary strategic fit with the Promax brand portfolio, said Promax President Tim Welch. "PURE Bar is a fantastic brand experiencing strong growth."
Promax, founded in 1992, is owned by Newport Beach private equity firm Marwit Capital.Read the rest of this entry »

The "Hohner Multimonica" is a combined double-manual keyboard instrument consisting of a monophonic synthesizer (sawtooth oscillator, vacuum tube technology) and a polyphonic harmonium with fan-driven reeds. This electro-acoustic musical instrument comes from the German postwar era. It was produced in two main variants ("Multimonica I" later "Multimonica II"). The "Multimonica I" even had a built-in AM radio for local station reception. But there was also a version available without radio.

Berlin & Techno Music
For the latest edition of the Real Scenes series of documentaries on electronic music and cities, RA and Bench go to one of the most special places for electronic music in the world: Berlin:
When the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, techno became the underground soundtrack to the reunion between East and West. In recent years, it's become an international destination for ravers—a cheap place to party with clubs that are renowned throughout the world.
Techno has become a business in the meantime. Yet Berlin still maintains a credibility that other cities lack. To understand why, RA and Bench went to the German capital eager to find out about its unique history and the reasons behind its continued relevance.

Karlheinz Stockhausen's Electronic Music Tips (For Aphex Twin, Plastikman & Others)
Back in 1995, classical composer and electronic music pioneer Karlheinz Stockhausen (22 August 1928 – 5 December 2007) took the time to give a listen to some then-current tracks by Aphex Twin, Plasticman, Scanner and Daniel Pemberton.
While his comments are a few years old, they're worth reading for his perspective.
Stockhausen had these music tips for the artists:
I wish those musicians would not allow themselves any repetitions, and would go faster in developing their ideas or their findings, because I don't appreciate at all this permanent repetitive language.
It is like someone who is stuttering all the time, and can't get words out of his mouth. I think musicians should have very concise figures and not rely on this fashionable psychology. I don't like psychology whatsoever: using music like a drug is stupid.
One shouldn't do that: music is the product of the highest human intelligence, and of the best senses, the listening senses and of imagination and intuition.
And as soon as it becomes just a means for ambiance, as we say, environment, or for being used for certain purposes, then music becomes a whore, and one should not allow that really; one should not serve any existing demands or in particular not commercial values. That would be terrible: that is selling out the music.
In addition to Stockhausen's general reactions to the state of art in edgier electronica, he had comments on the specific artists and their work.

MEDINA — Like children scrubbed and wearing their Sunday best, the baskets line the steps of the altar at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church.
Each basket brims with foods reserved for Easter tables: ham or leg of lamb, freshly-baked breads, pastries and cookies. A bottle of table wine peeks out from under the snowy cloth covering the offerings of one basket, a rope of crystal rosary beads gracefully draped over the edge of another.
"You can decorate your baskets with silk flowers, crucifix, ribbons,†said Lisa Pettry of Lafayette Township, a 15-year member of St. Francis Xavier. She didn't grow up with the tradition — her sister, who attended another church at the time, introduced her to the food basket blessings years ago — but it's a rock-solid part of her family's Holy Week observances now.
She keeps a couple of special baskets for the service, her oldest daughter's first Easter basket and one her husband gifted her with.
"This is a stark contrast to the Lenten season. We sacrifice to keep the memory of Christ's sacrifice,†Pettry said. "We eat more simply during Lent, and you enjoy the goodies so much more.â€
Her husband takes the basket now, while she puts the finishing touches on the foods she will serve on Easter Sunday, including chrusciki, Polish fried pastries in the shape of angel wings, and kolace.
Preparations begin late in Holy Week, and Pettry will fill the basket with strawberries, a few sets of salt-and-pepper shakers, a butter lamb she makes using a cast aluminum butter mold, eggs, Easter bread and chocolate.
Daffodils add a festive touch, and if there are new prayer books or religious articles for the children, Pettry tucks them into the bottom of the basket, too, along with a tablecloth from Poland.
"This (blessing service) is a little treasure,†Pettry said. "You enter the church, and there's such a heavenly smell — the church has been decorated for the Easter Masses, so you can smell the hyacinths and tulips, but when you bring your basket, you smell the sausages and breads that are in the baskets on the steps at the altar. There's a beauty to all that food.â€
"You walk into the church, and it smells phenomenal, all the meats, the cheeses,†said Donna Haney, who grew up with the food basket blessing tradition. "It's neat to see all the baskets lined up, all the different nationalities represented.â€
It is a centuries-old tradition stemming from sterner Lenten practices when meats and dairy products were excluded from meals. As the fasting period drew to a close on Holy Saturday, people took food they prepared for Easter to church for a blessing.
Presiding clergy bless and connect each item to the greater gift of Christ and the ancient feast of the Passover meal: lamb, bread, wine and bitter herbs (horseradish).
"The baskets usually have a linen or crocheted cloth on top,†said Cathy Schnepper of Medina, a church member for about 17 years, who grew up in the tradition of her Polish grandmother. "Grandma crocheted or embroidered a cloth for the top, usually a white cloth. You make your basket as pretty as possible.â€
Haney's mother received a cloth from her mother-in-law. "Ours is decorated with shamrocks. The Polish or Slovak ones sometimes have embroidered flowers or the words 'Christ is risen.' â€
Schnepper said they decorated eggs the Polish way, similar to Ukrainian pysanky, using wax and dyes. She's saved some of the eggs from the past. Although their colors have faded, the memories have not. "She didn't do the eggs until Holy Saturday. They're symbolic of new life. Everything in the basket is symbolic. I might put in asparagus and parsley; they stand for new growth and remind people they have taken on the newness of Christ.â€
Growing up, the blessing of the baskets was a chance to see her cousins.
"It was the beginning of fun for me, the start of Easter,†Schnepper said. "We were finished with the somberness of Lent, it was the end of Holy Week.â€
Even now, she said, it signals the end of all the cooking and baking to prepare for Easter. "The kitchen is messy by the time we're finished, we're tired, but now we can celebrate. The church is decorated. It's a lighthearted, happier time.â€
Families often incorporate their children's Easter baskets into the mix, like Cynthia and Jerome Kolosky, whose daughters Katherine, Kristine, Karen and Karissa brought their baskets to the altar.
"They had their names written on their eggs in crayon, and each one took candy, a slice of ham, cheese — the food they'll eat Sunday morning,†Cynthia Kolosky said, adding that anything the food was wrapped in also is considered blessed. "So we'll bury the eggshells and any Saran wrap or paper in the garden.â€
Kolosky said it's a tradition she's sure her family will continue. When their daughter Karen made her appearance on Holy Saturday in 1991, she stayed in the hospital with the baby while Jerome shepherded the children to church with the family basket. Now their oldest daughter, Katherine, takes pride in making sirek, a sweet cheese concoction of curdled milk, eggs and spices. She boils the ingredients and pours them into a cloth bag to drain excess liquid.
Pettry is happy to see more young families every year. "More participate, and that's nice to see,†she said.
"It's special,†Kolosky said. "The families are together, and you all have the same feeling. The work is done, and everyone has helped with the preparation, the ham is just out of the oven, the cheese is ready and you've rushed to the church.â€
And then, like the linen and lace cloths draped over the filled baskets, the peace and beauty of the blessings are upon them.
