lentil stew
ahh lentil stew. An oldy but a goodie. Total TOTAL pov food, cause I always have a can of tomatoes and some dried lentils in the cupboard.
1/2 cup of lentils (I used green lentils, if you use red lentils cook them for half the amount of time)
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 tbsp of tomato paste
1 onion, diced
3 cloves of garlic sliced/diced/minced whatever
1 carrot, diced
1 small glug/splash of balsamic vinegar
1 bay leaf
6 cups of vegie stock (maybe more see how it goes)
1/2 cup of short pasta (gluten free pasta is great in this)
I chuck in a bit of dried oregano but any fresh/dried italian herb would do
some Sriracha because I'm a chili nut
1. Fry up the onion and garlic in some olive oil until translucent.
2. Chuck everything except the pasta into the pot and cook for about 20 minutes or until the lentils are just about tender.
3. Add the pasta and cook for another 10 minutes or until it is tender. Yum yum.
4. Serve with a bit of toasted sourdough drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt.

Your lesser-known Electro-Dance group releasing its album under the title of Grinds; consisting of two mixed gender crew whose also loves to exercising daily - Ethan Newberry and Kimberly Teshima as they're professionally, written songs, lyrics composing as well as music making and programs finishing for being a major kick-ass group baptizing themselves as The Ginger Runner. The combinations between actor/comedian/designer and business managerial of young professionals – altogether making the musical performance comes out of this group really sounded modern and simply fits for any occasional events as well as your late night companion with too much winery or soft liquor by the small talks. Naturals and eco-friendly themes providing the reactions toward action while listening onto the finest tracks listed there from The Divide to Solid Golden to Mountain of Phlegm as the beginning was opened by First Step – like our first born moment. Electro-NRG, slower EDM and mastering Techno-Pop really sounded popular and fixing the whole empty spot lost by the hard days this week because of this marathon-based musical approves.
Be healthy !

Organisational culture is presented as a complex concept underpinned by specific values, beliefs and assumptions that account for the way things are done. Strong organisational cultures and a number of other attributes are highlighted as having influence on performance. The role of leadership is recognised as key to facilitating cultural change, as is the use of approaches which clarify values and highlight contradictions between espoused culture and culture in practice. A three-year study in which a consultant nurse post in critical care was operationalised demonstrated the achievement of an organisational culture with positive impact on the unit in which it was based, on practitioners and their practice, and also on the trust. Transformational leadership combined with other facilitative processes, expertise in the practice of nursing, and other subroles of the consultant nurse are further highlighted as influential.

This is my second acceptance for a Library anthology (along with Baconology, edited by Victorya), and I'm very excited. Both this small press publisher and 2009 in general have been very kind to me.

Loudoun Dental Associates announced this week that they will be offering complimentary dental implant consultations to patients considering the procedure.
Dulles, VA (PRWEB) August 03, 2017
Loudoun Dental Associates announced this week that they will be offering complimentary dental implant consultations to patients considering the procedure. Dental implants are a safe and effective option for individuals with one or more missing teeth.
Missing teeth can cause a variety of problems for adults. When one or more teeth are missing, remaining teeth can shift out of place. This can make eating and speaking difficult. Individuals with missing teeth often experience low self-esteem and a lack of self-confidence.
During the consultation, patients will be evaluated to see whether or not they are a good candidate for dental implants. The consultation is provided at no cost to patients. An appointment is required.
"Our team is excited to offer this free consultation to patients considering dental implants." said Dr. Batistas & Dr. Davenport of Loudoun Dental Associates. "We hope that this will allow more people to realize the benefits of this procedure."
The dental implant process begins with a thorough evaluation of the patient's medical and dental history and an examination of the mouth. During evaluation, the dentist will discuss the procedure so that patients can make an informed decision about their dental care.

Trying to think of the most romantic place to travel is quite the challenge. Italy is the first place to come to mind which might come as a surprise since growing up, I always thought it would be Paris. Even in the pouring rain, I would walk the streets of Rome or Florence in search of a great glass of wine for the evening.
There is always Tuscany or Lake Como, too.
With that said, Paris at Christmastime is special to me. I adore the quiet city when most tourists aren't there. The bite of the crisp winter air doesn't bother me one bit. It's nice to stroll the streets and peruse my favorite shops in-between eating and galleries.

What is sensation play? It's basically light bondage. Don't be scared by "light bondage." Those two words can seem very intimidating for beginners, but it doesn't have to be. Did you know that it could be hard and rough or slow and gentle? If you are a beginner, you can enjoy play that relies on surprises and stimulation.
Here are some suggestions of luxurious light bondage gear and how to introduce sensation play:
Ice=goose bumps, right? Cold can be very exciting and painful at the same time. Run an ice cube down your partner's neck, on their back, or between their legs. Cooling personal lubricant is another way to add cold excitement in the bedroom.
Hot wax or a hot stone massage can also be thrilling and a fun way to experiment. Just be careful that you use specially designed massage candles or the wax might be too hot and burn. (Massage candles are designed to burn at a lower temperature than a regular candle and are usually made of soy wax. Soy wax is also biodegradable and easy to clean up.) Although warming lubricant is not hot, it is still a fun and different sensation when experimenting with temperature.
Sexual stimulants provide extra sensation. This can be used on the nipples, clitoris or other parts of the body. Sensation balms usually tingle and are ideal for partner participation.
Sensation play not only includes adding sensations, it can also include taking away a sensation. This results in heightening the remaining senses. This is referred to as sensory deprivation. Blindfolds and wrist cuffs work best for sensory deprivation.
Laughter is sexy. Feather ticklers are a great way to inspire laughter (or torture)!
Many people enjoy impact play because they find it fun and erotic. Erotic spanking is done with an open hand, a paddle or a flogger. There are many different types of floggers that deliver a variety of sensations:
- Super Light: silk or satin
- Light: deerskin or lightweight suede
- Medium: elk hide, moose or heavier suede
- Hard: braided, buffalo hide, bull hide or rubber
The length of the tassels, as well as the thickness of the tassels can affect the impact of a flogging. The location on the body where you land will also determine how much a flogging will sting.
Have you been naughty? A proper spanking can cure those who are naughty. A paddling is usually done over their knees. If the paddle is heavy, then the wollup will be more painful. For beginners, leather paddles deliver less of a blow.
A Wartenberg Wheel was originally designed as a medical device to test nerve response. Many people like to use these pinwheels as a sensation instrument over their partner's flesh. It delivers a prickly sensation but does not hurt or break the skin.
So, what are you waiting for? A little bit of cold, hot or spanking never hurt anyone. Whether you use luxurious light bondage gear or high end sex toys, remember to HAVE FUN!!

All-Pro Football 2K8
Back in 1999, Sega released the Sega Dreamcast, a quality system which eventually ended in failure. At the Dreamcast's launch, EA Sports declined to release the Madden franchise on the console, prompting Sega to find another football franchise to fill this gap. NFL 2K was the football series to take Madens place, and it performed excellently. The series continued in yearly installments, eventually gaining an ESPN license and moving onto the Xbox and PS2. Unfortunately, in 2004, EA signed an exclusivity agreement with the NFL, effectively shutting out all competition from 2K Football. The franchise disappeared for several years, only to be ressurrected with All-Pro Football 2K8. The series still has some serious fight left in it, but there are a couple glaring omissions that keep the game from reaching the heights of its predecessors.
Since the NFL is now off-limits for everyone but Madden, 2K Sports decided to go with a more inventive solution. The game's roster is made up entirely of former NFL players, mostly Hall-of-Famers. This means you can finally assemble your dream football squad. Want to go for an all-out assault with Dan Marino and Barry Sanders? How about the epic team-up of Bubby Brister and Yancey Thigpen? Go ahead. All 240 legends in the game are ranked as either a Gold, Silver, or Bronze star player. At the beginning of the game, you choose 2 gold, 3 silver, and 6 bronze players. While an average football fan should recognize all of the Gold players and most of the Silvers, once you move into the Bronze tier, you'll start scratching your head. Any open positions left after your draft are filled by randomly generated players who do a decent job carrying out their roles. Once you move past the draft, the serious downfall of 2K8 is revealed. After naming your ridiculous made up team, you are presented with only four game types – Quick Play, Season, Practice, and an Online Match. For whatever reason, 2K Sports decided not to include a franchise mode in the game. despite the fact that ESPN NFL 2K5, the last 2K football game before this, did include it. This omission severely limits the replayability of the game, as after you beat Season mode once, you most likely won't do anything else but play online.
Fortunately, the game shines in its most important area: gameplay. Simply put, this is the most realistic football game you will ever play. Every play and every formation you could want is included. Every player handles realistically, as opposed to the ice-skating running backs and ball-magnet recievers of Madden.The only detail that seems to plague all football games, what I like to call velcro tackles, still plague this game too. Whenever any player makes a tackle, they seemingly home in on their target and attach themselves instantly, like some strange adhesive is holding them to their opponent. Luckily the rest of the game overshadows this small problem.
If you're sick of Madden's recycled games every year, and are looking for a new football game fix, do not pass up All-Pro 2K8. And if you were ever a fan of the series in the past, by all means, buy this game now. It's a worthy, though not perfect, continuation of the series.
Final Grade: A

Divorce and children: Genes at the root of some problems
It's no secret that divorce can be hard on children but explaining why -- while it may be "easy" for the ex-inlaws -- is not so simple. In one of the first studies to examine genetic roots to the children's problems, Indiana University psychology professor Brian D'Onofrio found that some of the answers do, indeed, lie in the genes.
"We really cannot make any assumptions about what causes the problems associated with divorce," said D'Onofrio, an assistant professor in IU Bloomington's Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. "For certain problems, such as increased rates of conduct problems and alcohol abuse, the actual divorce seems to cause it. But for depression, it looks like a different mechanism is at work."
D'Onofrio and his colleagues examined the offspring of twins to see if a genetic risk shared by the parents and offspring contribute to some of these problems. When comparing the offspring of identical twins, one of whom experienced a divorce and the other whose marriage was intact, the researchers found no difference in the rates of depression in the offspring (25 percent), who are genetically half-siblings because of the shared genetic material of their parents.
D'Onofrio said studies have shown that people with depression are more likely to see their marriages end in divorce. The same genetic risk that caused depression in the parent could be causing depression in the children regardless of whether the parents divorce. When examining the offspring of identical twins, the children whose parents divorced, however, were twice as likely to experience alcohol problems, indicating something about the separation contributed to this problem.
D'Onofrio's findings appear in the July issue of the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry. Co-authors are Eric Turkheimer and Robert E. Emery, professors at the University of Virginia; and Hermine H. Maes, Judy Silberg, and Lindon J. Eaves, professors at the Virginia Institute for Psychiatric and Behavior Genetics, Virginia Commonwealth University.
In the United States, 40 percent to 50 percent of marriages end in divorce. Numerous studies have shown that the children of divorced parents are more susceptible to a variety of problems, including substance abuse, conduct problems such as getting into fights, and problems at school--such as bad grades or dropping out--but little is known about why this occurs.
D'Onofrio, who studies risk factors involving child adjustment and child psychological findings, cautioned that not all children of divorced parents experience these problems. The findings, however, point to a greater need to help families after a divorce.
"It really suggests that either reducing divorce rates or intervening with families after divorce can really decrease alcohol problems and conduct problems," D'Onofrio said.
The study involved 4,800 offspring of 14,763 twins and their spouses.

Farm industry feeds communities
With Thanksgiving a mere week away, most of us are anxiously waiting for a day of feasting, though many Americans aren't fortunate enough to look forward to such food gluttony.
According to the USDA, more than 49 million Americans, one in six people, are food insecure. To help support our country's food needs, Halex GT, a corn herbicide from agribusiness company Syngenta, partnered with Feeding America, the leading domestic hunger-relief charity, earlier this year.
"Syngenta is helping to weed out hunger one row at a time," states the company, with the clever campaign tagline of, "Good for communities, good for corn."
A portion of each sale of Halex GT benefited some of the organization's 200 food banks dispersed throughout each of the fifty states.
For being a significantly developed country, our country's hunger prevalence is alarming.
American Hunger Facts (FarmAssist.com)
• More than 2 million rural households are food insecure
• One in eight Americans doesn't have access to enough food
• There are 16.7 million children who live in food insecure households
• In 2009, 46 percent more people visited a hunger-relief charity than in 2005
Hunger facts are even more distressing when they hit close to home.
The Columbus Dispatch reported recently that Ohio has broken into the top 10 states for hunger, as about one in every seven households struggled or did not have enough money to buy food in 2009. Nearly 680,000 Ohio families – 14.8 percent – were found to be "food insecure" at some point in 2009. More than 1.9 million Ohioans visited a food pantry during the last quarter. Since 2007, demand at Buckeye State pantries has increased by nearly 69 percent.
The agriculture industry is vital to addressing food scarcity. U.S. farmers take on the huge responsibility of feeding not only the American population, but also contribute to feeding people on a global scale. The average American farmer feeds 144 people and uses one acre of land to support 11 people.
An example of the agriculture industry extending its humanitarian scope is the charitable work of The World Soy Foundation (WSF). WSF is a organization dedicated to helping relieve hunger and malnutrition in the world by funding, supporting and helping to coordinate programs that recognize the importance of the use of soybeans in developing sustainable food solutions.
The WSF was awarded funds from The Monsanto Fund, the philanthropic arm of the Monsanto Company – a U.S.-based multinational agricultural biotechnology corporation – to pilot the use of SoyCow Soybean Processing Technology to improve nutrition for a community in South Africa.
SoyCow makes soymilk and yogurt, as well as tofu, soya nuts and soya chips to create sustainable solutions for the protein needs of the people in this South African region.
The corporate giving initiatives of Syngenta and Monsanto are just two examples of the abundant contributions of our nation's agricultural community to the food supply. Each year, our farmers continue to grow more food using fewer resources. Our farmer's sustainability and philanthropy is a pillar of our agriculture industry that we all can be proud of.
As we near the holidays, we should each think about how we can mirror this example of giving.

Statistics for Lasik Surgical Treatment PatientsThe Lasik operation can be a wonderful, life-altering choice for many individuals whose vision is less than best. There are numerous different kinds of Lasik operations now available, from the original and well recorded procedure to Lasik procedures done with 3 dimensional wavefronts, or done totally with lasers. Each of these variations of the Lasik treatment must be discussed with the physician that is to perform the operation.
Like any surgery, Lasik does have the capacity for negative effects.
In some cases checking out the scary stories of the outcomes of a Lasik procedure can deter individuals from seriously considering such a choice. It is also real that the vast numbers of people who have a successful, hassle-free Lasik surgery tend not to report a comprehensive and long story of their experience, unlike those that have actually experienced difficulty afterward.
It is excellent to know exactly what the possible side effects of the Lasik treatment are, and also the possibility that one of these side results will happen for a specific patient. Just like any medication we take, each has a possible variety of side effects, but we usually assume that the probability of a severe side effect is small, and we take the medicine anyhow. This post will ideally put issues of the prospective Lasik patient into perspective so that they can calmly and attentively consider having a Lasik treatment done in the future.
More than one million Lasik treatments are done in the US every year, according to the FDA. This arm of the nationwide federal government has actually accumulated the following stats for the most you can try here common adverse effects of the Lasik procedure. These stats will likewise differ by the physician carrying out the surgery, so make sure to obtain as much details on the prospective Lasik doctor as possible.
After Lasik surgical treatment, 1.7 percent of clients experience some glare or level of sensitivity to light after the operation. This varies by client, however this level of sensitivity is particularly visible when taking a look at a brilliant light, such as a streetlight when strolling in the evening, or other strong light and dark contrast. Another light related adverse effects is a halo around a light, and this happens in 3.5 percent of Lasik clients.
The brand-new, remedied vision can be seen rapidly by some Lasik clients, in as low as a few hours after surgery. Most patients that have actually undergone the Lasik procedure discover the change is irreversible within a couple of days. In 2.6 percent of clients that have had a Lasik treatment done, there is consistent visual change within a minimum of a part of their sphere of vision.
Lastly, some clients do not get a completely corrected sphere of vision after their Lasik procedure. This occurs with a small number of clients, and the FDA statistics are that just 3 percent of patients have this impact. In all or nearly all cases, the physician in charge will carry out an extra Lasik treatment to improve this.
This detailing of the significant permanent adverse effects of the Lasik treatment need to put any personal horror stories into point of view. Notification that none of the portions are above 3 percent, and this ought to bring comfort to a lot of prospective Lasik customers. It needs to likewise encourage them to look carefully at the Lasik doctor's individual record.
There are numerous different types of Lasik operations now readily available, from the initial and well recorded treatment to Lasik treatments done with Look At This three dimensional wavefronts, or done completely with lasers. It is excellent to understand what the possible side results of the Lasik procedure are, and likewise the likelihood that one of these side effects will take place for a particular client. A lot of patients that have actually gone through the Lasik treatment discover the modification is irreversible within a few days. Some clients do not get a completely corrected sphere of vision after their Lasik treatment.

Does playing an instrument effect your appreciation of music
I'm pretty sure it does, when you really understand what is going on technically instead of just hearing nice noices you look at things differently, look out for certain techniques, are impressed by unique styles etc.
You get impressed far more by feats of technical wizardry or effects use, look into genres you never would have otherwise, and often end up exploring 'non-cool' music simply because often the 'in thing' doesnt offer
I agree
While it's not entirely necessary to play an instrument in order to appreciate music at all (obviously), I feel that I can appreciate music on a number of different levels, even if most of the time when I'm impressed by someone's technique etc I still wouldn't listen to them by choice (i.e. Pat Metheny or any overtly wanky jazz). I just think it's good to be able to hear music in a deeper way, rather than just thinking 'ooh what a nice tune'. Not that I'm suggesting people who don't play an instrument can only hear things in a superficial way. Brainfart over.
If you go to see someone in concert do you not then spend alot of time concentrating on your instrument of choice and looking at the player technique etc, therefore probably enjoying the music less than if you were just having a wee jump around?
that's a conscious decision though
im not automiatically drawn to the drummer, for example, ill notice if he's good, and ill be pleased that he is good becuase i play drums, but ill also notice if the guitarist is good.
if you were always focusing on your own instrument you would definitely be depriving yourself.. in my view.
Not for guitar and bass
As I'm shit so anything wows me.
When it comes to electronic gear in general...I dunno it does dampen enthusiasm for some acts as I can tell straight away when someone is using a preset and basically not creating anything that is 'theirs' and everyone is actually being wowed by the work of a japanese sound engineer...not the work of the guy on stage.
Or when you work out EXACTLY what someone is doing and you think...with the equipment he has he is not doing ANYTHING challenging (see: Fuck Buttons).
However, when I saw Fennesz I knew what he was doing because I use the same program and you know he is being really creative with it.bones_howe this'd this
I think you do.
I can't play any instruments at all, and understand very little of musical theory. As a result, all of my responses to music are entirely emotional. I'm not interested in technique or prowess at all, instead I make a visceral connection based upon how something makes me feel. Personally, I repsond more to textures and rhythm (as opposed to lyrics or melody), but I like something because it sounds different, or interesting to me.
I know of lots of people that play instruments, and they appreciate music in a completely different way. They look out for technique and ability much more, and also seem to have a lot of hang-ups if the musicians can't really play their instruments, especially if they feel that the musicians haven't grafted or 'paid their dues' to get where they are. They also seem to like 'proper' music, which is a very 'rockist' kind of way of thinking. It often seems as though they don't really get any enjoyment out of music, only validation. I find that attitude a little depressing really.
that 'rockist' metnality is stupid yes
I would agree with you.
But it is a question of musical sincerity and acting appropriately.
I have seen stunning shows where a guitar/bass/drum band just created havoc. Or a guy creating an intense experience with only a microphone and an amp.
What I don't like are people trying to con the audience into thinking they are doing something they are not.
Actually, when it comes to electronic acts it is usually the 'rockist' types that fall for this
Allow me to rebut by way of two apposite analogies:
Music is just like any other language - your appreciation for it increases along with your knowledge. for instance, you would never hear anyone opine that primary school children must enjoy books a lot more than adults because they can only fully comprehend the likes of Spot The Dog. In this respect, it's a little galling to constantly come up against the fallacy (almost always propounded by Indies and Punks) that the more valid form of music appreciation disregards theory completely.
I would suggest that when you see musicians bellyaching about other musicians who can't really play - it's just that: They can't get any enjoyment out of something that isn't being done well. Moreover, bad musicianship is much more than being slow or clumsy; the worst kind of bad musician is the one who invests so much time and effort injecting what they see as emotional content that they fail to realise (or care) that the actual music might be considered lazy and derivative by someone who can tell how it came about. To return to my analogy - the way people around here tend to view music could be mirrored by someone extolling the works of Dan Brown on the grounds that 'okay - so he's not the best writer, but he's REAL'.
I'm actually surprised to see an architect of all people having this kind of view - I guess you've spent literally years learning the in-and-outs of what makes a decent building. Could you, in all honesty say that you wouldn't get more out of say, that giant fucking schlong in the middle of London than me?

Or the short version: Experiencing something and knowing instinctively that you like it is great. Experiencing something and being able to detail exactly why you like it is another thing entirely.
you STILL like DEP
Ah, but to me it doesn't sound like noise.
Which is a little sad, because I remember hearing them for the first time (10 YEARS AGO - SHEEEIIT) and savouring the feeling of hearing music that sounded utterly chaotic, almost random. I wish I could get back there.
I don't think that your appreciation of music increases with knowledge,
I think that it changes. In many respects it gets deeper, but also, perhaps, less broad. I'm not saying one way of appreciating music is better than another - I'm sure that musicians would find the way I enthuse about chaotically bad bands pretty depressing too – but just pointing out the fact that in my experience, those that play instruments have a less visceral response to music. That's not to say that visceral responses are incapable of producing excellent analysis – just that it's a different one.
Re. your book analogy – I don't really think it's a fair one. It would be a fair one if people that didn't play instruments were physically incapable of hearing half the notes, or regressed to the life experience and awareness of a five year old, but we don't. I would suggest that a suitable book analogy would be to look at the difference between a non-writer and a writer. Do I need to know about literary techniques to appreciate a book? Not really. Would it make a difference to how I appreciate it? Yes, it probably would. It might add another layer, but it wouldn't change the way I feel when I read it. The Dan Brown analogy doesn't really stand up either – you'll not find anyone advocating his books because they're 'real' – in fact it's his obsession with detail and workmanlike approach that makes an emotional engagement so difficult. I probably should have said, but just because I respond to music emotionally, it doesn't mean that I only like emotional music – in fact it's often the opposite: music in which the performers act really emotional is more of a turn-off to me.
"Could you, in all honesty say that you wouldn't get more out of say, that giant fucking schlong in the middle of London than me?" It's not a question of more or less, it's a question of whether it's the same or not. You see, part of me regrets the fact that I look at flashing details and window manifestation instead of how a building makes me feel (you should hear my rant about Tate Modern – it would bore you rigid), but architecture is one of those odd things that people respond to in many different ways, but which also has to work. If a musician's technique is sloppy, people like me don't suffer; if a building leaks, someone like you gets wet.
"...It would be a fair one if people that didn't play instruments were physically incapable of hearing half the notes, or regressed to the life experience and awareness of a five year old..."
This does actually happen though. Nowadays it's found in regards to Jazz and bands like DEP. At the beginning of the last century when dissonance and atonality was just beginning to make an impact into orchestral music you could see the attitude prevalent in criticism of composers like Stravinsky and Shostakovich - in a lot of places, Soviet Russia in particular, non-tuneful music was banned often for no other reason than someone high up couldn't hack it. Going even further back, a thousand or so years ago, playing a simple minor chord with an augmentation would be enough to freak someone the fuck out - pretty much all music back then was homophonous. The concept of first counterpoint, then notes actually being played (or sung) together was more or less alien.
In all these instances, the criticism used would have been (and is) 'just noise' or 'wanking', when in actuality it's more down to the fact that these people haven't been trained to 'read' the music - they're physically unable to discern how the notes being played make any sense because the background just isn't there. I suspect it literally does sound like noise to them. Whereas someone who's had a lot of time listening - and more importantly, having the knowledge of where these kinds of sounds served as an inspiration - will hear something completely different, and hopefully pleasurable.
As it is when reading.
Don't worry, when I'm in power I won't ban slap-bass or fret wanking...
I dunno, perhaps I'd feel different if I wasn't into weird shit anyway. Maybe I'd learn an instrument if I felt that there was lots of music that I wasn't able to appreciate, but I don't think I've ever not 'got' music or dismissed it because it's too far out there. In fact, the music that excites me the most is stuff that sounds completely different to everything I've heard before. I might not understand why it sounds 'wrong' but in my head it clicks.
Do you respond to different music in different ways at all? I know quite a lot of guys in Newcastle that are in metal bands, and the way that they talk about metal music is very different to how they talk about other music, concentrating on discussions of technique and ability more. Is this common?
Yes Yes Oh God Yes
especially any kind of relative or perfect pitch too.
Really makes you see how much fucking shit there is out there, usually in the "difficult / ambient / esoteric" music fields.
Not that there's not good stuff too, but yes, good God yes.
Not sure whether for good or for bad though, bit of a blue pill/red pill slow motion kung-fu kind of thing I reckon.
Of course
especially if you write too. I've found myself becoming impossibly critical of music recently simply because that's how I treat the majority of music that I hear, ie. the music I make. I don't think musicianship is that important though, Electrelane can't play their instruments or sing but the songs they write are still quite complex and well thought-out.
quite a nice
range of debate here, enjoyed the long comments, i have to confess to spending far too much time at gigs when i can get close gawping at what equipment they are using, how they produce certain sounds etc etc instead of just enjoying the noise.
Surely seeing what the musicians are actually doing IS enjoying the noise. Otherwise, why go to see live music at all?
I enjoy seeing the connection between the crowd and the band,
I enjoy seeing how different people react. I enjoy seeing tracks that I know sound completely different or being re-interpreted in a different way.
I don't see it as a way of lifting the veil that shrouds the music's production.
depends on the band and musicians
I went to see Faith no More years ago and I didnt watch Puffy, I watched Mike Patton instead.
At oceansize gigs, I watch the guitarists instead of the drummer
For Tool, drummer all the way.
I do admit to a certain musical snobbery though if someone can't play an instrument. Like say when a fat twat who obviously can't run starts talking about football, like when someone who can't drive talking about cars etc etc.
it deffo effects it, i'm not sure it's for the best tho.
when i listen to music I find it quite difficult to not sperate all the layers into their composite parts which i'm not sure is all that great. I quite miss hearing music and not understanding what was going on, just hearing it as a big magical block of sound. I think it takes a bit of he magic away when you know what is going on pretty much
good point but i think that's more a comment on the
music itself your perception of it when you can identify each separate part as opposed to all the parts as a whole... i think your musical knowledge/ability may well effect your appreciation, but your perception is more to do with what you're given. if that makes sense.
i guess so
i don't play any instruments, so i suppose i am less inclined to notice when someone is playing an instrument badly and have my judgement of how good they are impaired by that. You don't have to be able to play well to be good, but i think if i was more aware of how technically proficient certain bands were i might think differently about how good they are. I'd like to think i wouldn't do that, but who knows.
yeah it did, but not anymore
grew some balls
i'm now doing a degree in music, so over time i've had to do a hell of a lot of analysing music. if music is truly amazing, it will grab me and i will just listen without thinking 'so the bass is doing this, the brass are playing these chords' etc.
simple example would be a band that play music that's really good to dance to. if they're good at what they do, i won't be thinking, i'll just be dancing.
sigur ros - when i saw them, my mind was just going WOWWWWWWWWWWWWW rather than going 'hmmm the strings add some nice high end to the overall sound, and the bass player is bouncing a drum stick on his instrument'
a bad gig means you stand there going 'hmm this band are doing boring things such as x and y'
an ok gig means you go 'hmm that band are doing x and y and thus it sounds pretty good'
an amazing gig makes you go '...wow'
people can be as snobby as they want about how good you are at your instrument but
1. you can produce exciting and complex music without studying theory or practising for endless hours on your own.
2. many bands who supposedly "couldn't play their instruments" were actually very good. The Sex Pistols were hardly gods at their instrumental abilities, but you can tell from live footage that they were pretty tight and delivered good performances. you can play simple thing very badly and you can play them very well. that's the easy way to tell a good musician from a bad one. it's also why good musicians can pick up new instruments quickly. i'd say i was a fairly good musician, so if i get given an instrument i've not touched before, i won't be able to rip out a fast solo but i can probably get something simple with a rhythm going.

The Cleveland Cavaliers will be drafting number one overall in the NBA draft next month. The Milwaukee Bucks will be drafting second. It's going to take more than one great college player to turn these teams around very fast.
There's a great white shark that has been tagged and hanging off the Florida Keys. Whenever her dorsal appears above the water her position is known via a GPS satellite. There's speculation that Katherine might be pregnant due to the angle she is swimming at. Interesting stuff indeed. What I find even more fascinating is the Katherine the Shark has 4000 Twitter followers!
I promised a couple stories from yesterday's blog about my mom. Both of them were when I was 14 years old. On the last day of school my friends and I bought a flashlight and decided to explore the city sewers. After about 2 hours we came up thru a manhole on a parkway by the shopping plaza. Just as I resurfaced a yellow Chrysler Cordoba drove by and slammed on it's brakes. It's a small town but my timing was impeccable as it was my mom. She was wondering what was going on. I explained the situation and informed her that I was really coming out ahead as I pitched in the most money for the flashlight so I got to keep it. She drove away laughing. She was probably wondering how I graduated 8th grade!
A few months later we were driving thru Las Vegas and spent the night. All my family members were gambling and I was just watching from a rail at the Las Vegas Hilton. My mom called me over and had me pull the handle of the slot machine she was playing. She told me the casino was very lenient and had me pull the handle a few more times. Suddenly, a very large security man tapped me on the shoulder and read me the riot act. I was going to tell the angry man that my mother was with me but suddenly she was gone. She was 50 feet away walking down the aisle looking over her shoulder laughing her head off. I just held in a smile and accepted the angry lecture. Not a sewer in site to crawl into!

On September 15th
Hope House once again took part in the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) Census. This is an annual count of adults and children who seek services from domestic violence shelter programs during a single 24-hour survey period. U.S.
In that same 24-hour period last year, the results showed us that
programs: Missouri
- served 2,033 victims.
- provided 1,238 victims emergency shelters or transitional housing.
- provided 795 adults and children non-residential assistance and services such as counselling and legal advocacy.
- answered 515 hotline calls.
- educated 1,410 people in prevention trainings.
- turned away 416 requests for service.
While the number served is truly amazing, in the entirety of 2009 Missouri programs had to turn away more people than they served due to lack of funding/lack of staff.
I suspect that when the numbers for the 2010 census are released in a few months the picture will be worse. I am anticipating that we will see more turned away, more numbers served, and a greater demand for services.
Hopefully soon we will see a trend in the opposite direction that will find providers with enough funding to increase their capacity to meet the growing need.

Date Night? Try These Hairstyles
Want to look your best on Valentine's Day but running out of time to flat iron or blow-dry your hair? Try these quick yet elegant hairstyles…
I have curly hair that frizzes if run through with a brush or comb when dry. My usual upkeep is a shampoo, conditioner and a brush through while my hair are still damp – and then air-dry. My curls remain but after a while, this style becomes a tad boring. So, when in need of a genius solution, here's what I do to my hair…
Something Fishy?
Till I was in college, I used to hate braids – had enough of a school-going lifetime of those. But after I discovered the French braid, the messy braid and many other braids, I fell in love in with them. My favourite is a fishtail braid and to me, it looks good on medium to long hair, thin ends et al. Divide your detangled hair into two sections. Then pull a thin strand of hair from the outer section of the first part and pull it over the first part and add it under the second section on the other side. Basically the strand of hair goes over the first section and finishes under the second section. Then do the same on the other side and keep alternating until you see your fishtail form! Keep the strands thin and start neat – you can mess it up later.
A braidy band
This is basically inspired from Grecian hairstyles and Blake Lively! Take a small section from somewhere around the temple and braid it into a neat one. Flip to the other side and secure with a pin and let your hair cover the ends naturally. You can wear this single braid as it – keeping your hair loose or even a pony, or repeat this step a couple of times to create a braided hippie-headband of sorts!
A forked tail?
Start with sleek hair for this – blow dry into submission and curl up the ends, outwards. Then take a teasing comb and tease your roots around the crown of your head to get a nice lift. Pull your hair back and comb very gently to sleek up but don't lose the lift and then tie back at the middle of your head – it has to be a mid-high pony. That little out-curl will keep the pony bouncy!
All knotted up
Long hair is a problem to deal with when dirty and with an event looming up. Skip the wash and blow dry. Just make a glamorous low "knot" bun. Part your hair at the centre and then slick back into a low ponytail – secured with a tight rubberband. Keep coiling the pony until it wraps around its base like a knot! Secure with bobby pins or another rubber band. And that's it – done!
Bounce pony bounce!
My hair are too curly and heavy for a sleek pony, but that's mean I don't band it up! Try a teased side pony! Sweep your mane back and to one side into a side ponytail and then tie with a rubber band. Tease the top part of its base to get a slight pouf for some extra style and volume.

ALBANY – A strong majority of New Yorkers want Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton to commit to serving a full six-year term if she wins re-election next year, according to a poll released yesterday.
Clinton – who is widely believed to be running for president in 2008 – made that pledge when she first won office in 2000, but she hasn't done the same for her possible second term in the Senate, which would continue to 2012.
The Quinnipiac University poll found 60 percent of those questioned said Clinton should promise to serve out her full second term, and it revealed a bare majority of voters – 51-41 percent – don't want her to run for president in 2008.
Even 65 percent of Democrats said she should pledge to serve six years if she's re-elected.
In the poll, 21 percent of voters overall and 36 percent of Democrats said they would be more likely to vote for Clinton for president because it would also return her husband, former President Bill Clinton, to the White House.
Nineteen percent said that would make it less likely they would vote for her, and 57 percent said it would make no difference.
Forty-four percent of Republicans said the thought of having two President Clintons in the White House would make it less likely they would vote for Sen. Clinton for president. Six percent of GOP voters said that would make it more likely they would support her.
Meanwhile, the former first lady trounces all would-be GOP Senate challengers, according to the poll. She beats Gov. Pataki, 60-32 percent; Westchester County DA Jeanine Pirro, 62-27, former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld, 63-26; and Ed Cox, son-in-law of the late President Richard Nixon, 63-25.
"Set 'em up, knock 'em down. There doesn't seem to be oomph behind any of the Republicans mentioned as possible challengers to Sen. Clinton," said Quinnipiac polling director Maurice Carroll.
Cox – a Manhattan lawyer who some in the survey confused with Ed Koch – has told GOP leaders that he is interested in running against Clinton, but the others have publicly or privately ruled it out.
The poll, which surveyed 1,191 registered voters from April 28 to May 2, found Clinton with a strong approval rating – 63 percent, while only 28 percent disapproved.
Sixty-seven percent of voters – including 36 percent of Republicans – said the former first lady deserved re-election.
Voters were asked to grade Sen. Clinton's job performance.
Seventeen percent gave her an "A," 40 percent a "B," 24 percent a "C," 10 percent a "D" and 7 percent an "F."
Fifty-two percent said Clinton is a liberal, 29 percent called her moderate, and 10 percent said she is conservative.
Rodham's romping
Should Sen. Clinton pledge to serve her full second term? 60% say yes

ODESSA- Another cold snap is expected across the Basin, with temperatures dropping into the 20's.
Those freezing temperatures could be a dangerous threat to the homeless who can't find a place to stay in for the night, and the Salvation Army in Odessa says they're ready to receive an increase of people in their shelter.
"We do bring in extra blankets, we've got cots if we need to set them up," Salvation Army Lodging Caseworker, Kaye Hanks.
Hanks said they encourage people who live on the streets to stay in with them during these wintry weather conditions.
"There's a lot that they say they prefer to stay outside but when the weather is cold like it has been we try to get them to come into the shelter at least for the night. And then they are welcome to leave at anytime," Hanks said.
Hanks said anyone can stay and no ID is required. The shelter can house up to 250 people and on one side of the shelter is for men and the other for females, and a hot meal that is served in their dining area. Officials say there wasn't many people who stayed Sunday night, but they do expect more to stay Monday night. If there isn't enough room they'll open up their gym for the extra guests and help out in anyway they can.
"If you don't have coats, we'll try to get you coats. We'll try to help in anyway that we can, as far as the cold weather and all," Hanks said.
Those who need shelter Monday The Salvation Army shelter is open daily from 5 p.m. and closes it's doors for the night at 9 p.m.

Travel only in well-lit areas and avoid travelling alone if possible. Individuals are required to wear reflectors on their clothing during dark, winter months. All travellers should exercise caution and be aware of their surroundings while travelling.
Visiting Laheema National Park
Laheema National Park is in northern Estonia. It was the first national park of the Soviet Union, established in 1971. It is also one of Europe's largest national parks. The park has tons of raised bogs, one, the Laukasoo Reserve, which is over 7,000 years old. On a walk around the park one might see boars, red deer, wolves, bears, foxes, beavers, moose, or lynxes.
There are also four manors on the park, Palmse, Vihula, Kolga and Sagadi. Palmse used to belong to the convent of St. Michael. On the grounds one can also find a distillery, greenhouse, bouth-house, and barn. Vihula has roots from 1501 and during the Soviet occupation served as a collective farm. There is even a coffee on the grounds! Kolaga is known as the "classiest" manor with it's beautiful architecture. Sagdi manor has a rococo-style with 20 outbuildings and historical furnishings.
What Should I Take to Estonia?
A destination growing in popularity, a trip to Estonia still requires some prep work. Be sure to pack these key items.
- Walking Shoes – Bring comfortable shoes for hiking or other outdoor activities.
- Bug Spray – The spring time is often very wet, meaning mosquitoes and flies are abound. Make sure you stay protected.
- Gloves – Your extremities tend to get colder faster. Bring a pair of thick gloves if you plan on spending a lot of time outside in the cold.
- Jacket – Winters get incredibly cold in Estonia. A good, thick jacket is a necessity.

March 4, 2009 --Simply watching someone in a movie or on TV drinking alcohol may drive people to reach for the bottle themselves. A study in the journal Alcohol and Alcoholism monitored the behavior of 80 young people while they watched television.
Researchers found those who saw lots of alcohol references drank on average one and a half more bottles of beer during the hour they were watching.
Researchers say this is the first study to show a direct effect of exposure to alcohol on Tv to a viewer's behavior.
What the study does not address is whether watching alcohol on screen has any effect on long-term behavior.
