AMS Swindon New Premises Launch
On 30th January, AMS Swindon held the official opening event for their new centre. Situated at 1 Milton Road in the town centre, Swindon Music Courses are now easy to access.
Swindon Mayor Cllr Eric Shaw attended the event to cut the ribbon and officially open the newly refurbished academy. Of the new centre, Cllr Shaw said: "Centres like this are really important because they make the arts accessible to all. Now that the Academy is in the centre of town, it's not only physically more accessible but will get a lot more attention from passers by and that can only be a good thing."
Musicians guests make a smashing opening.
As well as official Mayoral Endorsement, local singer/songwriter legend Nick Harper attended the event to play a guest acoustic set. Harper christened the building by smashing a guitar on the entrance in true rock star fashion.
Following the opening ceremony, guest were able to tour the building at their leisure and enjoy live performances from the students in the brand new space.

Fast Track your way to a BA (Hons) Performance Industries in 12 months.
For most musicians, playing, creating and performing are things we are passionate about. Things that we HAVE to do, not just want to do. By developing your instrumental, creative and performance skills through practice, you will have amassed a great deal of experience that can be rewarded with FAST TRACK entry to the final year of the AMSonline BA(hons) in Performance Industries.
For those with previous experience of making and playing music, gaining a BA(hons) qualification can take as little as 12 (full time) or 18 (part time) months of study. This is made possible through a process known as recognized prior learning, or RPL. RPL is a commonly used process in education aimed at "widening participation' and inclusivity.
The process involves mapping your previous musical experiences against the knowledge and competencies that someone would expect to develop in the early years of a degree. One of our AMSonline advisors can provide a preliminary eligibility check in as little as 15 minutes, putting you on a FAST TRACK path to achieving BA(hons) in as little as 12 months.

Earn more as a musician with an AMSonline BA(hons) in Performance Industries.
In a survey of over 5000 working musicians, researchers from the Berklee college of music found that the average wage of those working in music was in the region of £35,000 p.a and that for more than half of respondents, this income was generated from a portfolio of 3 or more musical jobs. These findings are mirrored in the feedback of AMS' graduate population. Of the 75% of our BA graduates that have secured music industry employment within 6 months of completing their course, a large number are working across multiple musical and managerial positions as they carve out their career in the industry.
" The BA prepared me for working in the industry. It allowed me to understand how a self-employed musician makes a living and what they have to do in order to keep gaining work."
(Michael Mackay, BA(hons) Performance Industries,)
" The course content was varied, with business skills and lots of practical music skills. I've used all the skills I learned on the course in the year since I graduated and I think it's made a real difference to how I regard myself as a creative professional. "
(Jena Thomson, BA (hons) Performance Industries)

Muscians – Having a Degree can help open up new career opportunities.
While you certainly don't need a degree in music to get gigs, join a band, enjoy or even get paid for making music, there is much research to support the fact that for many musicians, a music degree is the key to unlocking new career opportunities.
If you are struggling to establish a sustainable career in music, despite years of practice, experience and hard work, an AMSonline degree may be the essential ingredient to help you achieve your goals.
Musicians with degree's find it easier to secure work in education, either by qualifying to deliver lectures at college level, charging more for private lessons or gaining access to the cert ed post graduate qualification that allows them to teach professionally in schools. Many musicians use teaching as a stable supplement to their income, allowing them to pay the bills while continuing to pursue their artistic and performance passions. Teaching can be hugely rewarding and may lead to gains in playing/practice "I've always felt my teaching improves my performing and helps me to have an intelligent approach to my own practice"
(Alex Laing, Guardian)
How's aboutthe development of transferrable skills and qualities? Having a degree can help to show that you have tenacity, that you see things through and are ultimately committed to your music. What about IT skills, networking, business and events management? These are all areas that you will develop through AMSonline's BA(hons) in performance industries.
" The BA definitely opened by eyes to the concept of having a portfolio career in the music industry…….,it showed me how easy (with the right mind set) having a career in music can be" (Alyssa Renwick, BA (hons) Performance Industries)

On a day where Wisconsin hosted a number of its top in-state prospects, Ramesh became the first from the state to commit from the 2013 recruiting class, according to his father, Chad.
"It's always been his dream to go there and when the opportunity was in front of him, he was ready to make his mind up," Chad Ramesh said. "It's what he's wanted."
Ramesh chose Wisconsin over offers from Central Michigan, Illinois State, Iowa, Iowa State, Michigan State, South Dakota State and North Dakota. The offer initially was a grayshirt, but a UW source said the offer was increased to a full offer after the Cyclones, Hawkeyes and Spartans offered within the last week.
"He probably could have waited and done the recruiting deal but it was important to him," said Chad Ramesh. "Once they showed they were all in with him, he knew deep down what he wanted to do. He wasn't sure what was going to happen but once they showed him how much they wanted it, it didn't take him long to think about it."
Earning first-team all-conference honors on both sides of the ball as a junior, Ramesh had over 2,500 yards of total offense and 22 overall touchdowns during his junior season, a season where he played running back, wide receiver, linebacker, special teams and both safety spots.
The UW source said the coaching staff likes Ramesh at either linebacker or fullback and will hopefully determine his future college position when he camps with Wisconsin this summer.
Ramesh's visit Saturday was his fourth visit to Wisconsin.
"It was really cool having the coaches come up to me and having them know me by my first name," Ramesh told Badger Nation after his third visit. "It's cool to get my relationship formed with the new coaches and they were really hands on. It was all about the recruits. They were all about making us feel a part of the team and get accustomed to the way they run things."
Badger Nation will have more on this story today ...

Gravel: The Basics Down and Dirty
This is a short primer for those that have never ordered Gravel in Dallas TX or Gravel in Ft. Worth TX. It should prove helpful for those that might need driveway gravel or sand and gravel in Dallas TX.
Gravel has many uses. Commercial buyers use gravel for roads and for making concrete. Others use gravel for driveways, decorative gardens, and drainage situations and to line ditches were pipes lay. We will introduce you to some of the basic types of gravel and tell you were you would use them and let you know about a good supplier for gravel in Dallas TX and gravel in Ft. Worth TX.
Pea Gravel: Pea Gravel usually comes in sizes from 3/8" to 5/8". It is a small stone with rounded edges. The color is other beige and it is mult-colored. This is the gravel that is found in playgrounds, driveways and walkways. This material is clean because it has been washed.
River Rock: River rock is also washed and is a native stone with a smooth, rounded surface. It has shades of tan, gray, and beige in it. This product is often used for French Drains, walkways, landscaping and garden areas. It can also be used in mixing cement.
Chat Limestone: This is a natural stone that is angular and ½" or less. This type of gravel is suitable for drainage projects, walkways, and for pipe embedding.
1" Limestone: This gravel is the most common size of limestone. It is a crushed natural product that is suited well for drainage. It is also used as a top layer for parking lots. This type of limestone can also be used for pipe embedding or in mixing concrete. Its color is gray to a gray off-white.
Recycled Concrete Rock: This product comes in different sizes and is used for a variety of application. Some of these range from drainage applications to road base. This is often used in pipe embedment or backfill as well.
Riprap: This is a large irregular shaped rock that comes in sizes up to 12". It is gray in color. You will see riprap used to slow fast flowing water in a ditch or on an embankment. Its primary purpose is erosion control.
Gabion Stone: Gabion stone is again an irregular shaped stone but the size is 4" to 8". It is used to fill gabion baskets. These are used in retaining walls. This type of gravel is suited well for lining ditches that have a moderate flow of water.
Recycled Asphalt: This is a low-cost product that is just as the name would suggest. It is made from recycled or reclaimed asphalt. It is small and black and is great for driveways, parking lots and for filling holes.
The above products are available from most sand and gravel companies. For small quantities, some of these items can be purchased in bags at a home improvement center. For most projects, it is more economical and much easier to have the product delivered by the sand and gravel company directly to the job site. You will also need to calculate how much gravel you will need to order. Complete information can be found on the Lowery Sand and Gravel calculator page. Gravel is calculated by the cubic yard. The basic formula is Length x Width x Depth (in feet) = answer in feet³ / 27 feet³ = answer in yards³. You can also just follow a link to the gravel calculator http://www.soildirect.com/
To find a supplier for sand and gravel in Dallas TX or gravel in FT Worth TX I would like to suggest Lowery Sand and Gravel. Lowery Sand and Gravel Company in Arlington TX has been delivering sand and gravel to businesses and homes in the DFW are for over 30 years. It is a company that really cares about its customers. Lowery provides friendly service and at cost competitive prices.

text: Code: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0301524/ Sometimes the game of love requires a little cheating... Part bed-hopping sex comedy, part riotous farce, part musical comedy, The Other Side Of The Bed is more of an identity crisis than a movie. The story of two couples in search of love, this was a critical and commercial smash in Spain, where its good-looking characters' deliriously complicated infidelities obviously struck a chord with the native audience. The formula's complicated enough: A is seeing B, who's living with C, who's in love with D, who's married to A. Or something. Forget love triangles, this is a world of rectangles, quadrangles, and hexagons in which characters hop from bed to bed as though their underpants are on fire. Javier (Ernesto Alterio) is going out with Sonia (Paz Vega) while secretly sleeping with Paula (Natalia Verbeke), the girlfriend of his best friend Pedro (Guillermo Toledo). Pedro's heartbroken about being dumped, till he finds a new friend of his own (no prizes for guessing who it is).

New Research Finds Conventional Infertility Treatments May Raise Preterm Birth Risk: Learn How Holistic Practitioners Can Play an Active Role in Fertility
Infertility treatments have become more and more prevalent in recent years. Women are deciding to have kids later in life, when they are beyond their fertility peak. Multi-births are becoming more common and conventional infertility treatments more numerous. But recently Danish researchers have shown that there may be reason to pause. According the , researchers found that among more than 20,000 women who gave birth at their hospital between 1989 and 2006, those who had conceived through in-vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) had a higher risk of preterm delivery.
The study found that of the 730 babies born as a result of the injections, 8 percent were premature and 1.5 percent were very premature. The numbers were markedly different for babies born without the injection, with 5 percent being premature and .6 percent very premature.
These treatments specifically involve joining the women's egg and the male's sperm in a lab dish and injecting them in the women. The women's age, body weight, smoking history, and caffeine and alcohol intake during pregnancy were accounted for in the study.
It's studies like these that have led many women towards a more holistic approach. Sara Snow
, a green lifestyle guru and host of Discovery Channel's Get Fresh With Sara Snow choose to go the holistic route. Here's what she wrote in her January newsletter:
This has been a long journey for us, and while we stayed away from "conventional" western fertility treatment methods, I experienced my fair share of intense herbal treatments, acupuncture, meditation, prayer and faith. After over 5 years of trying and waiting, we are thrilled to finally be expecting.
Natural Fertility Treatments
Holistic medicine provides clients with ample options when it comes to enhancing fertility, ranging from subtle to intense.
1. Enhance Fertility with Yoga
As a registered yoga teacher myself, I have learned numerous yogic methods for enhancing a women's fertility. I find restorative forms of yoga to be beneficial to promoting fertility within a women's body. Often times women begin to focus on becoming pregnant so much that the stress can have a negative impact on fertility. It's important to work to soften the abdominal area with the breath. We don't want to tighten the abdomen, as the area is home to the fallopian tubes, uterus, and ovaries. Include poses like Salamba Sarvangasana (Shoulderstand) and Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (Supported Bridge Pose). Both of these poses serve to even out a woman's mood swings by working on the endocrine system. They help to keep excessive hormonal surges at bay as well as the fear and anxiety that can accompany clients attempting pregnancy.
2. Cure Infertility with Acupuncture
According to the , acupuncture can help to address under-functioning (hypothyroidism) or over-functioning (hyperthyroidism) thyroids, aiding fertility. Acupuncture, similar to yoga, serves to open up the lines of energy in the body, called meridians in Chinese medicine. It involves the insertion of ultra-thin, sterile needles into specific acupuncture points along the body that are located on meridian points.
3. Meditation To Remove Negativity
So how did Sara Snow get pregnant using meditation? Well, meditation serves to keep the mind as healthy as the body should be while carrying a child. It goes back to removing the fear that goes along with trying to get pregnant. While you're sitting in meditation, negative thoughts may begin to cloud the mind. When this happens, call them out for what they are. Name the thoughts: fear, doubt, or simply negativity. You'll find that once you call out the thoughts, they lift like fog on a river. This is a form of Vipassana meditation and it brings a sense of serenity and calm necessary for conception. I that meditation is really the foundation for all kinds of holistic wellness practices.

The Colorado Independent Ethics Commission has initiated a full investigation into the hiring of former Jeffco commissioner Kevin McCasky by an economic council to which he voted to direct county funds while being considered for the council's high-paying top job.
McCasky, now president of the Jefferson Economic Council, was hired by the nonprofit in January, shortly after he proposed increasing the county's annual general-fund contribution to the council from $380,000 to $400,000.
Embattled former Elk Creek fire chief Bill Dolan apparently has agreed not to accept the latest paid position created for him with the district.
Interim fire chief Pete Igel said Dolan agreed to remove himself from consideration for the recently created administrative coordinator post at a meeting last Friday that included district board members Len Wisneski and Alec Schwartz, Dolan and Igel.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden employs 2,300 and generates many more spinoff jobs as it operates within its budget of $350 million.

Solar panels, windmill blades, contracts and, uh-oh, progress are all part of NREL.
Every now and then, New York Times columnist David Brooks hits the nail right on the head, as he did last week. Writing about the upcoming presidential election, he noted that "the two parties contesting this election are unusually pathetic. Their programs are unusually unimaginative. Their policies are unusually incommensurate to the problem at hand."
Why? Because in Brooks' words, "this election is about how to avert national decline."
I have been re-reading the new book, "Songbird Journeys" by Miyoko Chu. Since I read it the first time and mostly late at night, I didn't retain some of its wonderful information.
So I am finding it most informative the second time around. Many of you have written or called me with questions about bird migration, so I had planned to write such an article for some time.
A wrinkle in crime
For 45 years now, the Evergreen Rodeo, with all its cowboys and cowgirls, has thrilled the crowd at the El Pinal Rodeo Arena. It's a Father's Day weekend tradition like none other. Without further ado, we look back on the highlights of yet, another fun-filled wild west weekend in Evergreen:
Tim Shirley's had a rough go of it lately not that he'll remember it. Literally.
The Sheriff's Mounted Posse of Jefferson County began in February 1952, when the initial 30 deputies were sworn in by Sheriff Carl Enlow. Enlow, a Republican who served as county sheriff from 1949 to 1957, considered the creation of the posse, along with radio communication and marked patrol cars, as his major contributions to the department.
Even after 18 years in existence, very few people know they have Art for the Mountain Community to thank for the vast array of public art that greets us at every turn in Evergreen. AMC is a dedicated group of professional artists and art lovers who come together each year to select innovative, whimsical and beautiful sculptures to welcome visitors and citizens alike to our mountain town.
A local conservation group has offered to Jeffco Open Space a key piece of vacant view property consisting of 2.3 acres bordering Windy Saddle Park on Lookout Mountain.
The land is zoned MR-1, or low-density mountain residential, and contains the abandoned foundation of a house.
In 2008, the Clear Creek Land Conservancy acquired a conservation easement on the property, which is a quarter mile from the Lookout Mountain Nature Center. In 2010, it acquired fee title, or ownership, of the property.
