Ten Ways To Cut Calories
A food's fat content is important, but when it comes to weight loss, total calories are more important. So many of the low fat products on the market aren't calorie reduced. For example, 2 tablespoon of reduced-fat peanut butter have the same number of calories as the regular kind. And replacing a tablespoon of butter on a bagel with 2 tablespoons of jelly eliminates the fat but doesn't change the number of calories. Let's explore some calorie-cutting tricks. Paying attention to the Nutrition Facts. Seemingly healthy foods can be surprising sources of calories and fat, so make sure to check out the details on the Nutrition Facts panel on the food label.

Learn to Play an Instrument to Save Your Life
Growing up, I always loved music, admired musicians, and still do. When I entered college, a friend in my freshman dorm played the harmonica. I was fascinated and envious. I had always wanted to play an instrument but we could never afford lessons, let alone the ability to buy an instrument. But, when this guy told me he bought it for two dollars, my heart leapt. Even I could afford that paltry sum. So I immediately ran down to the local department store and bought my own. It wasn't until I got back to my room I realized I couldn't play a note. It drove my roommate crazy and so I had to resort to playing in the bathroom or stairwell. I shouldn't use the term "playing" at this...

Kids Electric Guitars - The 3-4 Kids Guitar and Other Options
Choosing an electric guitar for your child. The description usually assigned to kids electric guitars is "Short scale or 3/4 sized". But this description, while fairly accurate, isn't quite the whole story. Some short scale electrics are longer than others, so it's necessary to look at the specific scale length, and whether that's right for your young one. A three quarter sized scale length for a kids guitar can be anything from a 22.2 inch scale length to a 24 inch scale length. This may be different for acoustics, but having decided on an electric is definitely a plus in my book. Scale length is defined as the distance from the bridge of the guitar to the nut, so a kids electric guitar with a...

Piano Lessons for Homeschool Families
Piano lessons provide a great advantage for children schooled at home. Because parents are in charge of their children's schedule and curriculum, homeschool students can set their own pace and spend more time on music than in the public or private schools. In the public schools young children go to music class about once a week. Not nearly enough time to develop their musical talent, and rarely are they able to learn an instrument such as the piano. This is unfortunate because of the educational benefits of piano lessons for elementary school age children. Home school parents, however, can provide all the benefits of piano for their children right in their own home. And there is no reason not to...

Security Lights
Summer is here, and you know what that means: vacation.

The Garden Revisited- Part 3
Now we come to that snake in the grass, or was there any grass? Was there a snake/serpent? Since we're dealing with an allegory, you know where I'm going. In actuality there are many ways that I could go. My current preference is that the snake/serpent represents the EGO: the false ego, the Ernie that's not the real Ernie- voices in my head, from my head. There really is an authentic Ernie that shows up from time to time- not often enough. Let's look at some of the options since metaphors can stand for, or fill in for more than one option. We find this story in Genesis 3:1-4 primarily. Other than standing in for our ego what's the snake/serpent represent? I'd say Paul would use the words "carnal...

A Doorway to the Heavens
Tucked away in the corner of a busy tech room, Ken Chieh Hsu focuses on his computer panel, tapping expertly on it with his electronic pen. On the enormous flat-screen mounted on the wall in front of him, a mythical paradise rises out of the clouds, complete with golden colonnades and marble steps. He taps once, and the clouds at the foot of the screen begin rolling across the scene. Once more, and a shining light appears, slowly descending from a corner of the sky. You might think that Hsu is animating a scene for the next Hollywood fantasy epic, but he is actually a digital design expert for New Tang Dynasty Television, a non-profit Chinese television network based in Manhattan. Hsu is a four...
Life Is Like Music!
Dancing in the moment. Life is all about dancing, to meet the moments. Let's get together and use the flow of the music. How do we speak to each other? Like music? If so, what kind off music? Is it hard rock or soft music? Listen to children's song. Are they using falsetto or what? How about the older people? The way we move then? Think off your self, how are your feet doing? Is it like salsa or tango? Are there two or more feet in the dance? I suggest that we put more music in our daily life routines. Walk like we are dancing. Talk like we are singing beautiful songs to each other. What happens if one person is singing opera and the other one is singing hard rock? Well I don't think we will kill...
Classical Music: not Just for Oaps
For too long, classical music has been regarded as the domain of instrumentalists, composers, academic musicologists and, typically, anyone over 40 years old. But while the majority of today's youth would rather listen to Britney Spears' greatest hits or watch My Chemical Romance on MTV, the view that young people are completely uninterested in classical music is not just erroneous - it's simply not grounded in historical reality. Mozart, widely regarded as one of the greatest classical composers of all time, wrote his first symphony at age eight and was dead by the age of 35. Schubert also died when he was 31, while Chopin famously didn't live past the age of 39. Moreover, the phenomenon of the...

The Stages of Grief
Elizabeth Kubler Ross wrote about the five stages of catastrophic loss in her book," On Death and Dying". While she was speaking to the terminally ill patient, most people have found that the stages she defines work as well for almost any kind of grief. While people argue as to whether these stages are really true for a person in grief, and while the whole issue of loss is quite complex, for myself I have found that I have indeed gone through the stages of grief and often more than once for the same loss. In some cases I don't know that I have ever come to a complete reconciliation of the loss. I don't mean that I have carried grief to the extent I could be described as clinically depressed or...

Web Review Of Victorian Canna Hybrids
Great progress began in 1870 in the hybridizing of the canna lily by a combination of genetic materials from the wild canna species that had been collected from around the world, leading to the production of the 'Madame Crozy' cultivar. A great interest developed in canna lilies as a colorful garden plant that previously had been grown chiefly for the fast growing, tropical foliage, since the wild canna blooms were mostly small and uninteresting. The stockpile of collected, canna wild species were again used to back-cross and intermingle with the celebrated hybrid, Madame Crozy. The bright bazaar colors and the tropical look was excitable and exotic for the gardeners of the Victorian Age. Several...

Singers - Maintaining Your Health
Brace yourselves my fellow professional singers! We are in cold and flu season! Whether you are a classical/opera singer like me, or into other forms of music, a singer has to be healthy first and foremost. We must develop and maintain good vocal health, using proper techniques and avoiding smoking, and excessive alcohol. We cannot be too careful when we make a living that depends on two little membrane folds (we call vocal chords) inside our throats. It is ironic that many of us tend to have sinus or allergy problems that attack our livelihood. The symptoms always seem to flare up just when we have Midnight Mass and holiday concerts. So we have to be careful not to hurt our voices. But what do you...

Film Verses Digital - What's the Difference Anyway?
In the old days, if your camera (35mm of course) had a battery die on you in the middle of an important shoot, you still had options. I mean after all; the only thing you needed the battery for was the light meter, it's not like your whole camera will shut down if you have no battery.
