How To Make The Timer Activate Then DEACTIVATE After Button Is Released
Hey I am making a pong game (for a school project) I can get the ball to bounce randomly off all four walls and now I need to make the handle respond to the arrow keys. I know how to get the arrow keys to put a value into my variable. But how do i make the timer only activate when the key is down and Deactivate when the key is released?
Im sorry if this is confusing its fairly hard to explain. Let me try to sum up.
-Making Pong
-Need to make handle move
-Know how to make the up arrow key add a value to my current variable.
-But need to make the timer control activate and deactive when the button is pressed and released... Or is this even how I would go about doing this?
Please try to understand
Public Event In Form Deactivate Event
How do you make a dynamic array created in the Form Deactivate Event able to be "public" or used in other events such as Form resize event.
Is there another way other than storing the array in a public sub?
Deactivate Event
In a form shown as modal, there's a command button with this line of code:
Then, in Sub Form_Deactivate I had placed some code to perform a few cleanup operations. I thought the deactivate event would be triggered by Me.Hide, but it wasn't. Am I doing something wrong or is this like it should be?
Workbook Deactivate Event
I´m trying to deactivate or hide some controls in excel with a vb code.
I hide the controls when some sheets are activate with the code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
'some code. works fine
end sub
and then unhide the controls again with the code
Private Sub Worksheet_Deactivate()
'some code. works fine.
end sub
The problems is that if the sheet is not deactivate, but is the workbook that is deactivate, for example if I change to another workbook, the second code is never run and the controls remain on hide mode.
Im trying to run some code when I change to another woorkbook.
I tried to put the code in the App_WorkbookDeactivate() sub, but that subrutine doesn't run when I change to another workbook.
Private Sub App_WorkbookDeactivate()
'Code never run!
end sub
I also tried
App_WorkbookDeactivate(ByVal Wb As Workbook)
I´m placing this code in the sheet code.
Any ideas?
Application Deactivate Event?
Is there an application EVENT which determines if the focus of an application has been lost? Such as the form_deactivate event but for the entire application.
What I want to do is, if the application has lost focus/deactivated then I wan to bring the focus back immediately, i.e. something like an annoying popup that never goes away
Also, if this can be done via the API only, this is an acceptable solution.
Deactivate Event Not Limited Inside Vb
I am making a VB6 project.
I allso use Word automation.
I want to use the deactivate event,
only this is only triggered among the vb forms and is not triggered when going to my Word document. Is there a solution for.
The problem i have is the following. When the focus is on my VB form and cursor is on a textbox when i move from the VBform to my Word document i want logically trigger the textbox_validate event. But because the cursor stays in the textbox of my vb form the validate event is not triggerd, alternatively i was looking a way to use the vbform deactivate event but this allso isn't triggerd
DeActivate Event: Using Selections In The Workbook That's Being Deactivated.
Hi there,
I'm trying to write some code for the DeActivate event of a certain workbook. The problem is that the code should use the values in some cells of the workbook that is being deactivated. I cannot seem to activate the workbook from the DeActivate event's code. The values are on an invisible sheet, and I would like to select them (the values represent indexnumbers of toolbars that I want to make visible). What should I do?
Embedded Chart Selected - Workbook Deactivate Event Not Triggered In VBA
It seems that if you have an embedded chart selected on a worksheet that the Workbook_Deactivate() event is not triggered.
Originally I thought this behavior was a coding error, so I set up a simple sheet with 1 chart on it and the Workbook_Deactivate() and Workbook_Activate() events with a Msgbox command in both events to indicate when I enter them. Turns out that if the chart is selected, the Workbook_Deactivate() event doesn't trigger when switching workbooks, but the Workbook_Activate() event does trigger when coming back in. When the chart is not selected, both trigger. This is really non-intuitive to me as you can't set a chart event on an embedded chart without creating an event class (as far as I know).
I did create an event class just to check it out and it works (myChartClass_Deactivate()). However, that means I would need to set every embedded chart in my workbook to the class??? and also set a Workbook_SheetActivate event to catch for when I just deselect a chart and do not leave the workbook ("If ActiveWorkbook.Name <> ThisWorkbook.Name Then ..." works as I only care about the chart deactivate event to indicate that I left the workbook).
This can't be correct. Am I missing something here or is that what you really need to do?
thx in advance
Activate Event
The Form_Activate event should be triggered when ever a form is made the current window (eg. Click a different window, and then click the first window). Is this correct?
It seems that it will not respond like that for me. The activate event will be triggered only when the window is first opened and I cannot trigger it again.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Activate Event
How do I force the activate event to occur? We have an application here that used to have entirely modal forms, and the users were prevented from accessing the desktop or other apps while it was running. I am required to make all forms non-modal and minimizable so that users can now access the desktop. My problem is the activate event of each form is not occurring, just the load. What is the best way to handle this?

Trapping NT Screensaver Event And Returning A 'no Thanks' Msg
Hi, We're running NT4 SP6 & VB6 . I would like to trap the activate screensaver event generated by NT. I have found out that when a screen saver starts, NT posts a WM_SYSCOMMAND message to the foreground window with WPARAM as SC_SCREENSAVE. Do any of you good people have some code that will return a 'No thanks, don't activate' message to NT?
Also we're moving to Windows 2003 server & XP professional as the client in the next few months so some code that will run in that environment would also be much appreciated.
Many thanks Chris
Mouse Move Event (Screensaver)
How do I put a mousemove or a keypress event on the code that doesn't have to be focus on specific controls so that I can invoke the event no matters when I am and which controls I focus on ?
How do I keep track the position of my mouse on the screen in code like the x,y coordinates ?
Form Activate Event
I don't get Form Activate events (or Deactivate, Got/lost Focus events) when I swap to/from my VB6 app from another app. I should, shouldn't I!
Put a long, multiline label and a command button on a form
Put this in the form's code
Private Sub Form_Load()
Label1 = "Load"
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Initialize()
Label1 = Label1 & vbCrLf & "Initialize"
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Activate()
Label1 = Label1 & vbCrLf & "Activate"
End Sub
Private Sub Form_GotFocus()
Label1 = Label1 & vbCrLf & "Got Focus"
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Deactivate()
Label1 = Label1 & vbCrLf & "Deactivate"
End Sub
Private Sub Form_LostFocus()
Label1 = Label1 & vbCrLf & "Lost Focus"
End Sub
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Label1 = Label1 & vbCrLf & "Click"
End Sub
Run and click some other app and then back to the form..
Form Activate Event
I have a form where I store data to access db. After that I close the first form and open a second form (with vbmodal), where I try to read the data with data controller. But the data just isn't there. The problem is this (at least my guess is this) When the second form opens and the data controller tries to read from access db, the access table is not saved yet. I have also tried to refresh the data controller in form activate event, but it's not the solution because this form was in modal mode and the form activate event does not occur.
Can anyone tell how to solve this problem?

Activate Event Of An MDI Child
I have an MDI application, I have set some forms to be MDI children(FormA and FormB). This is the scenario. I click a button on FormA to open Form B. I am using FormB.show. Now from FormB I want to open FormA. So I use FormA.show. My question is why is the activate event not firing on FormA when I called it to open from FormB, I have code under the activate of FormA and I need this to fire? Am I doing something wrong? I hope this explanation is not confusing.
Thanks in advance
How To Trigger Activate Event Of A Form?
I have 2 exe programs.
prg1.exe = calling program
prg2.exe = program to be called
prg1 code to call prg2:
VB Code:
' Specifying vbNormalFocus as the second argument opens the application in ' normal size and gives it the focus.Dim RetValRetVal = Shell("C:WINDOWSprg.EXE 0001", vbNormalFocus) ' Run prg2.
prg2 code to unload, back to prg1:
VB Code:
'there is some others code before Unload Me'Function WriteInfoToINIFile()Unload Me
After prg2 Unload, the prg1 back its previous state and need to change some data depends on the written data from INI File by the prg2 upon the prg1 activate the program.
The Activate event of prg1 is not triggered upon activation.
The Activate event occurs when an object becomes the active window. But moving the focus to or from an object in another application doesn't trigger either event.
Favors to the group:
1) Please give a hints on how to trigger activate event switching between 2 applications.
2) If you have other way to meet the requirements, much better. Please teach me.
3) Also upon calling the prg2, the user should not able access prg1. Its like with calling other form using Show method with vbModal. But it is within the application.. How about between two applications. (maybe Hiding the prg1 first before calling the prg2 then show it again after prg2 unload.
Thank you very much.
DataReport Activate Event . . . ***RESOLVED!***
I can't seem to get the DataReport's activate event to fire.
I want to change the caption of my PageHeader at runtime. I put in the MsgBox "hi" so I would know if the event fired.
I have tried setting focus, resizing, etc. What am I missing?
I tried to change the caption during the Initialize event but that gave me a "Variable not defined" error on the lblAudit part. For some reason it can't reference the control when it initalizes .
VB Code:
Private Sub DataReport_Activate() lblAudit.Caption = "" DoEvents rptROEA_Audit.Refresh MsgBox "Hi"End Sub
Anyone ever changed the label caption on a DataReport at runtime??
(man, I hate VB reports!)
Can A LostFocus Event Be Selective? I.e Don't Activate If This Happens.
I'm trying to use the LostFocus on a couple of text boxes to auto-populate some other text boxes. Everything works ok as long as valid data is entered. But I'm trying to trap invalid input. Here's the gist of the program.
Text1 "Enter Warehouse Code".
When Text1 loses focus Text2, the warehouse name, is populated from a database.
Text3 "Enter Part Number"
When Text3 loses focus Text4, the part description, is populated from a database.
The problem is if an invalid warehouse code is entered. If the warehouse code doesn't exist in the database a message box pops up stating "Warehouse Code XXXXX Invalid". But the focus has moved to Text3 via the [TAB] key. When you back-tab to Text1 to correct the warehouse code, Text3 loses focus and tries to find a blank part number in the database. A message box pops up stating "Part Number Invalid".
Question 1: Can I make a losefocus event happen except if something else happens?
Question 2: Is there a better way of doing what I'm trying to do?
A computer is a tool, not a toy.

SStab Click Event And Tab Activate
Hi all,
I am using SStab control from the Microsfot tabbed controls. In my tab i
have 3 tabs. I have some controls in first tab. When I click tab 3 , some
validation has to happen with controls in the first tab. That is happening
when i click 3rd tab. But before the validation is over with success , the
3rd tab content should not be visible. If the validation fails the active
tab should not happen for the clicked tab. But what happening is when i
click 3rd tab, the 3rd tabs become active tab, then the click event of tab
is happening which is containing the validation code.
Is it possible to change this behaviour.
Thanks in advance for any help.....

Form Activate Event Not Firing
Well I'm facing a very peculiar problem with my MDI app. When the application starts the first time and I invoke any MDI child, the activate event of that MDI child does not fire. However, if I again reopen that MDI child or any other MDI child, the respective activate event starts firing. Can anyone explain this problem?
Activate Event Called Only When Program Is Compiled.
Greetings all!
I ran into a really weird problem that took me about one day of work to fix. Byt the thing is, I still don't understand why I got this weird behavior!?!?!?!?!? So I tought that maybe some of you could provide me with another plausible explaination than my computer is posessed!
I work with MDIforms. When I click a button, it is supposed to open a form. So, what I do is loading an MDIchild into a collection. After doing that, I call a my custom function "LoadData()" from the MDIchild to load some datas (duh! that really sounded like a bad help file I read once...).
Now, here is the funcky part: when I run from the .exe file, the sub "Form_Activate()" is called right after my function "LoadData()". BUT, if I run the program from the VB developpment (I call it debug mode...) environment, "Form_Activate()" is NOT called!!!!
If anybody could tell me why the behavior is different between compiled version of the app and the debug mode, that would be great!!! Or, at least, if someone have seen something like that, just tell me cuz I really think about calling a priest so he can exorcit my computer!!!!
How To Activate An Event Of A Form In A Function **Resolved**
Hi all,
I have a function. In this function I would like to call a form. the form has a text box and a command button.
The doubt is how to actuate the event procedure of a command button in the called form with in the function.
What Would Prevent A Form's Activate Event From Firing?
I have inhereted a MDI app here where I am observing strange behavior with a form. One child form (let's call it Form1) calls the Show method for another child form (let's call it Form2).
When Form2.Show is executed, the Load event for Form2 occurs, but the Activate event for Form2 does NOT fire as expected. The result is a partially visible Form2 (with controls missing, etc.) with Form1 behind it. If I click on Form1, then click back to Form2, Form2's Activate event fires and the program proceeds normally. I have coded a work-around that works, but I'm puzzled as what is going on.
My work-around code is:
(In Form1)
Any ideas?

Activate, Ye Stubborn Cell! ACTIVATE I SAY!!!
I'm glad to have one of my trademark needlessly complicated issues to present to you all. In my form is a combo box ('EventMenu'), two text boxes ('AskIt' and 'Moofus') and a button. Nice users will enter a string into the 'AskIt' box and my program will find the cell (all I really want is the row) where that string is found. Users also will have entered text into 'Moofus'; and this text will be entered into a cell on whichever row the AskIt string was found. Which cell, you ask; for there are many. Which cell the Moofus string ends up in depends on what the user selected from the EventMenu combo box.
Here is the script for when the button clicks:
Private Sub Findit_Click()
Loogit = Askit.Value
Hepcat = Moofus.Value
Set C = Worksheets(1).Cells.Find(Loogit, LookIn:=xlValues)
Showit.Value = C.Row
If EventMenu.SelText = "ONSITE" Then Cells(C.Row, 13).Activate
If EventMenu.SelText = "STARTUP" Then Cells(C.Row, 14).Activate
If EventMenu.SelText = "LOAD" Then Cells(C.Row, 15).Activate
If EventMenu.SelText = "MKEY" Then Cells(C.Row, 16).Activate
If EventMenu.SelText = "PROD" Then Cells(C.Row, 17).Activate
ActiveCell.Font.Bold = False
ActiveCell.Font.Size = 10
ActiveCell.Value = Hepcat
End Sub
In my dream world, they enter 1234A into AskIt and the program finds 1234A on row 11; the user selected "MKEY" from the Menu and thus the cell at R11C16 is activated and populated with Moofus.Value.
But all that happens instead is that the Moofus.Value ends up in whichever cell was active when I ran the macro.
Wha happened?

Deactivate A Private Sub
Guys, I'm new to VBA and have been writing a program which opens an external workbook before copying data and importing into my workbook.

Therefore my question would be is there any way i cn de-activate or skip the private subs contained within the external workbook?
Any help would be most appreciated

Deactivate A Form
Hi Friends
I have created a VBA form. In that I have a button. When that button is pressed, the selected text will become bold.
What I want is, once the button is pressed the form should get deactivated after making the text bold. This is because I want to continue to edit my document after pressing this button. Now what I do is, I use the mouse to click on the document so that the form get deactivated and the current selection becomes active. Can this be done programatically? Is there a way to make the form loose its focus? or Is there a way to make the selection active?
Please help me.

We had a blast camping at Cape Henlopen State Park. We had the best of both worlds as far as having the beach to go to if we wanted and also playing in the bay. With having younger children, they enjoyed the bay a lot, because they weren't being knocked over by the waves. The park itself was very nice and clean, and had trails for the kids to ride their bikes on or go for a walk. There were plenty of other children around for them to play with also. I would definitely recommend this for a great family site!

Featured article: Texas Showdown
Outstanding entries wow crowds at the Great American Trucking Show
The Mendez brothers knew they had something special to enter into Overdrive's Pride & Polish in Dallas. They'd been working 18-hour days for nearly four months to transform the family-owned 1997 Peterbilt 379 into a one-of-a-kind. They hoped their Texas Chrome Shop's efforts would put Project One on the lips of everyone attending the Great American Trucking Show.
Some 625 miles north of the San Antonio customizing shop, the Boyz at the Chrome Shop Mafia in Joplin, Mo., were undertaking a very similar build. Thomas Ivy, a passionate lover of custom rigs, had brought in his 1986 Pete from Kilgore, Texas, to have it turned into a one-of-a-kind. CSM employees worked overtime to get it finished for its Pride & Polish debut in Dallas.
Neither custom shop had any idea what the other was building. That's typical of many new builds showing up at Pride & Polish truck beauty shows – and one of the surprises attendees savor when coming to such events.
When both rigs rolled off their respective trailers and took up key positions on the truck show floor, people were drawn to them like bees to clover.
When the judging was done, the votes were close for the top prize – the Texas shop taking home the coveted Best Limited Mileage Bobtail trophy.
"This truck is the 651st truck we've customized in one way or the other, but it's the first one we've done for ourselves," says Texas Chrome Shop marketing manager Raul Mendez Jr. "Everyone at our shop put their soul into building Project One. It's our statement to the truck customizing community of what we can do out of a little shop in San Antonio."
No less impressive was the customizing done on the Best of Show winners in the working divisions. Floyd Moore, of Cagle Rock Trucking, won bobtail honors with his 2000 Peterbilt 379. Moore, who mostly hauls Peterbilt products in a dry van, was proud in particular of custom oak cabinetry in the truck's interior.
"I had a guy build them," he says. "With the stainless and chrome, the fellow I bought it from, we installed it together. I took the truck off the road this year three weeks before the show and me and two other guys worked on it, polished it and painted the frame."
The top prize for working combos went to Brad Johnson of Lindamood Demolition, for the 2007 Peterbilt 379 with a 2008 CPS round bottom dump.
The dump's used for hauling debris at the demolition jobs Lindamood gets, Johnson says. "It's used every day," he says. "It's in landfills" like the one he encountered a week before showing at the Pride & Polish in Wildwood, Fla. "Five days before we were going to leave, it started raining in the middle of a landfill, and there's some nasty stuff that comes up off the ground in a landfill. As clean as I got it, you couldn't tell. I like knowing where it was the week before and seeing it sitting on the show floor all cleaned up."
Johnson's particularly proud of the hand-scraped hardwood floors. "They actually came out of a house that we tore down," he says. "It's the same floor that we have in our office here at the shop, and I have the same floor in my house."

Today was a great day. I slept until 10! 10! Ate eggs with my husband, snuggled my cats, savored my morning coffee and then headed outside for an afternoon run.
My wussy half marathon plan had a long run of 4 miles on the schedule. 4! Sheesh this time last year I didn't lace up for less than 5 miles. Oh how the times have changed.
The first 2 miles were great! A little hairy with the snow, mud and ice on the trail, but it was kind of exhilarating. Yeah sure, it slowed me down and running in snow felt a little more tiring, but who cares?? I'm out there! Living life! Chasing down my happiness one mile at a time!
|5, I'm doing 5!
I decided to throw an extra mile on it and oy. As soon as I decided to add another mile, I hit some real crappy terrain. A thorn branch swiped me, I was tired and damnnn carrying these extra lbs weren't doing me any favors.
Now, if that isn't incentive to put the cookie down, I don't know what is. So, I run/walked the last mile, tried to have some positive self dialogue and get it done.
|Truthfully, I hate posting anything above 10/min mile, but it is what it is.
Own it and when it gets faster, I'll own that shit too!
Lost 3 lbs! Sheesh even after some Girl Scout cookies yesterday. Eff you girl scouts! With your pigtails and your missing front teeth. I thought soliciting was illegal at the mall.
I hope you all had a great weekend too.
How did you chase down your happiness?

Moms Love 'Weeds'
Ande Dagan: Suburbia's slickest weed-dealing mom is back and already caught up in the thick pot smoke of things.
Season five picks up right where season four left off. Nancy, having ratted out Guillermo, has been called over by her Mexican gangster boyfriend, Esteban. When he shows Nancy a picture of herself talking to the Feds, Nancy one-ups him with the mommy-to-be's Facebook profile picture du jour: an ultrasound. Her ultrasound. With his baby.
Meanwhile, in a village somewhere down south, Celia is being held captive by her estranged daughter and her hot-white-guy-playing-a-Mexican boyfriend. The boyfriend, Rudolfo, goes through Celia's phone book and makes calls demanding ransom for her life. One by one he gets rejected, as everyone who has ever come in contact with Celia hates her. Rudolfo should have called me. I love that bitch.
Esteban decides to let Nancy live, since she is his baby mamma and the star of the show. She goes home to brother-in-law, Andy, who decides they should all move to wonderful Copenhagen where they'll be safe and happy. He then confesses his love for Nancy, who retorts, "I'm pregnant."
In the meantime, Nancy's two kids, Shane and Silas, are hot to follow in their mom's pot-dealing footsteps. Shane is slinging weed at his junior high library while Silas is gearing up to start growing his own crop along with Andy's stoner friend Doug in a nearby forest. And now that he's eighteen, it's officially okay to talk about how incredibly hot Silas is.
So basically everyone is tangled up in some sort of mess -- or about to jump into one. At one point during the half-hour show (why is it so short!?), my roommate turns to me and asks, "Why is Nancy such a dumb ass?" The thing is, she's not. In a world surrounded by men, Nancy Botwin holds her own. I won't get into the debate over whether she's a feminist hero or a terrible mom or neither. But if I were caught in some compromising ridiculous situation, I would call upon The Secret to grant me the charm and wisdom of Nancy Botwin in order to get out of it.
Next week -- craziness and hilarious one-liners by Kevin Nealon ensue.

The Winter That Never Left…
I think that we had our first snowfall that didn't melt away during the third week of November. Four months and counting of the white stuff!
Am I tired of seeing snow everywhere I go? No way! Call me crazy or I don't know what, winter has to be the most magical of all seasons. Snow has the amazing ability to transform an empty field into one that looks like it's covered in dunes. Imperfections in the ground are covered with the white stuff.
The wind shapes and sculpts it until it resembles dunes in the desert. It's a wonderful time to be outdoors.
As fast as it seems to melt, more seems to fall. By my reckoning we only have a couple more weeks of shooting it until the browns of spring start to peak from underneath the white.
Early spring isn't a pretty time. I usually don't shoot much or I head to the mountains where winter hangs on for just a little while longer.
Hail all to the gods of winter.
Happy shooting,
2 Responses to "The Winter That Never Left…"
Is that frozen fog I see on the trees? Looks like you caught a nice sun pillar in that shot too.
I enjoy the snow also, but the crummy gray skies this week are driving me nuts. After the winds of the past few days, there are some crazy dunes out there just waiting for a shadow.
So many zero contrast days this winter.

The high school vocal artist summer program elevates the skills of the serious student of solo singing, preparing him or her for further vocal training in a college, university and conservatory setting. Students in the program develop a breadth of knowledge and experience through private lessons, solo recitals, staged performances of opera scenes and songs, a rich choral ensemble experience and numerous classes led by a supportive and caring faculty.
Summer 2014 programs have concluded, but we'd love to have you join us next year! Join our mailing list, and you'll be among the first to know about summer 2015 programs.
During this intensive, six-week musical immersion, aspiring classical vocal soloists will participate in the following:
- Weekly private voice lessons and coachings focus on advanced classical technique enhanced through voice-appropriate repertoire. All instructors hold advanced degrees in music and are actively engaged in teaching and performance in their professional lives.
- Opera Workshop Company gives students an opportunity to participate in staged performances featuring the repertoire of opera and operetta. Experiences will range from solos to small ensembles to chorus scenes. All scene selections are tailored to the students' ability and experience, culminating with the public performances in the Opera Workshop during the fifth week of camp.
- Ensemble Performance Opportunities – students will perform with either the World Youth Honors Choir (view repertoire) or the Interlochen Singers (view repertoire). Both groups encourage students to hone their ensemble and musical abilities through extensive rehearsal and performance experience, including at least one major choral work with orchestra. The skills students of solo voice learn in these settings will create an artistic foundation that lasts a lifetime.
- Master classes with distinguished vocal artists complement the daily instruction students receive. Recent guest master class teachers have included Nathan Gunn, Carmen Pelton, Salvatore Champagne, Kenneth Cox, Sylvia McNair, and Richard Fracker, among others.
- Studio and honor solo recitals provide important experience in the art of recital comportment, song memorization, characterization, recital artistry and public performance.
- Diction classes teach students techniques for singing and conveying texts clearly in English, Italian, German and French, through application of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).
- Music theory – both written and aural classes form a foundation for future musical studies. Students are placed into a class that is appropriate for their current skill level.
- Music history is taught with a special emphasis on the vocal aspects of this subject study.
- One-week topics classes will explore a range of vocal performance subjects including:
- Vocal Repertoire – students will study vocal music from a number of time periods and composers.
- Stage Direction – students will learn basic staging, interpretation, and direction skills, followed with the staging of songs of fellow class members, culminating in a presentation of those stage pieces.
- Auditioning Skills – students will learn about college, university and conservatory music programs and will have intensive instruction in audition skills, culminating in mock auditions.
- Alexander Technique – students will learn basic Alexander Technique ideas, concepts and techniques, while learning the positive connections to a healthy singing life.
- Make Up – students will learn basic and advanced makeup skills for the stage makeup.
Classroom instruction in acting and stage movement helps students prepare for the challenges of dramatic presentations, stage presence and enhances interpretive skills.
Due to the intensive nature of this program, students will not participate in elective classes.
Audition Requirements
- Video files #1 and #2: select, memorize and record two classical music selections. No musical theatre pieces. Pieces should include piano accompaniment.
When You Arrive at Camp
Students will sing after their arrival to campus and will be placed into the appropriate choral and operatic experience. Accepted students will be required to arrive at camp with three memorized performance-ready classical pieces, at least two of which should be in a language other than English.
Concerto Competition
Interlochen offers a separate concerto competition for High School and Intermediate divisions. Winners in the High School division will perform with one of the division's orchestras or wind symphony. Concerto competition details >>

Interlochen is also home to the Arts Academy boarding high school, which offers a vocal music major for grades 9-12, as well as a post-graduate year.

TEAMS: Washington Redskins
Via Los That Sports Blog:
The NFL has implemented random drug testing to insure that the steroids epidemic that has hit professional sports over the years is regulated in the league, but this may be going over the line a bit.
Washington Redskins back up quarterback Kirk Cousins tweeted that he was subjected to the random drug testing Wednesday, in the friendly confines of his grandparent's home:
NFL's off-season drug testing at my grandma's town-home! I'm all for a clean game but weird having a stranger watch u in your own bathroom— Kirk Cousins (@KirkCousins8) March 13, 2013
Talk about up close and personal. Makes you wonder where else the league might pop up with a clear cup and request you to relieve yourself on the spot.
Why do you think that your Mama always warned you about doing DRUGS and tried to raise you right by taking you to Choweech where big fat ladies gave you bunches of HUGS, and shoved your head in between their super-sized JUGS, well the answer is as clear as the water in a triathlon runners various MUGS, and it is because she wanted you not to end up like all of the other low life THUGS, residing in housing projects filled with cockroaches, and other weird looking BUGS, and making money by fighting dogs like pit bulls, and occasionally a few PUGS, but all that you do is lie to her, and tell her that you live in a nice place, and have a booth at the flea market selling RUGS, and brand named shoes like the formerly popular LUGS, but you know that you are a loser that may end up eating his own finger off, but you refuse to change no matter how much at your heart your conscience TUGS....Hopefully a change will come, and your bad lifestyle will STOP, but until then at least take a little direction from the Hibbity, Dibbity, BOP, and a Pee, Pie, Po, POP!!!!
Your rhymes are wiggity wiggity wack homeboy
This is a ridiculous story --random drug tests are done at a mutually agreed upon location ( between player and the tester). The player is notified before the test occurs. So if this player didn't want to be tested at Grannies he could have chosen another location nothing is forced on him!!
Oh so you know that by experience how the hell would you know how the nfl works with random drug tests

Sen. Ayotte: Hagel's record, statements make him wrong choice for Defense
Asked during an Armed Services Committee meeting about his views on preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, Sen. Hagel said, "I support the President's strong position on containment."
But that's not where the President stands. In fact, President Obama said last spring that, "Iran's leaders should understand that I do not have a policy of containment."
And in September, in a vote of 90 to 1, the U.S. Senate explicitly rejected a policy of containment toward a nuclear-capable Iran.
When Sen. Hagel was subsequently given the opportunity to correct himself, he fumbled: "I meant to say that obviously [the President's] position on containment - we don't have a position on containment."
At that point, Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) threw the witness a lifeline: "We do have a position on containment, which is that we do not favor containment."
Whether Sen. Hagel was ill-prepared, uninformed or projecting his own views, there's no question that the next defense secretary shouldn't need help stating our policy on one of the most serious national security challenges we face.
But on issue after issue, Sen. Hagel's testimony raised questions about what he knows, what he believes, and what kind of secretary of defense he would be. And in several instances, his views on critical issues fell well outside the mainstream of either party.
For example, although he acknowledged that Iran is a state sponsor of terror, and has in the past admitted that Iran helped kill our troops in Iraq, he defended his vote against designating the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization because it's part of "an elected legitimate" Iranian government. There is no doubt that peaceful demonstrators who were brutalized and shot at by the Iranian regime during the 2009 Green Movement would disagree - as would the families of U.S. soldiers who were injured or killed by explosives Tehran provided to insurgents in Iraq.
With regard to maintaining America's nuclear deterrent, Sen. Hagel last week backed off a Global Zero report he co-authored just last year putting forth radical recommendations that would gut our nation's nuclear triad. Its recommendations included a 10-year implementation strategy that would eliminate a leg of our nuclear triad by cutting all land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles, reduce the number of Trident ballistic missile submarines, slash the size of our nuclear arsenal by 40 percent, and establish a dangerous 24- to 72-hour window in which the U.S. could not respond to a first strike by our enemies - reducing our deterrent and encouraging our adversaries to initiate attacks.
When I asked Sen. Hagel about his report, he said it was "illustrative" and denied that it contained recommendations. Yet, on its first page, he wrote that these "next steps are possible and desirable ..." Sen. Hagel then devoted four pages to arguing why these "next steps" should be implemented.
In light of North Korea's nuclear program and missile tests, as well as Iran's march toward a nuclear-weapons capability, the policy prescriptions Sen. Hagel said were "desirable" in the Global Zero report are inconsistent with the administration's nuclear modernization commitments, undermine our nuclear deterrent, and are simply downright dangerous given the threats we face.
Sen. Hagel also made the illogical statement that the secretary of defense is not a "policy-making position" - revealing a startling lack of understanding about the role of the nation's Pentagon chief.
To the contrary, the secretary of defense is one of the most important and powerful policymakers in the U.S. government - the person the President turns to for guidance on running the nation's defense programs. If the secretary of defense isn't a policymaker, who is?
Sen. Hagel has earned the respect and gratitude of all Americans for his long record of service to our country - including his time in combat in Vietnam.
But the U.S. Senate has a constitutional responsibility to provide advice and consent on the President's nominees. And based on Sen. Hagel's record, his past statements, and his testimony last week, I can't vote to confirm his nomination.

It's hard to remember a time before we had cellphones, isn't it? Even your grandmother probably has one! And we all love our cellphones, me included. What I don't love are all the ways the cellphone has snuck into society and turned normal people into self-absorbed jerks.
Sure, a good smartphone is an invaluable resources. You can check the sports score or do a quick Google search for the local polling place for the election from anywhere! But the cellphone is one gadget that has rendered a good portion of our country incapable of functioning without it.
Is this you? Are you that jerk with the cellphone? You might be surprised what people really think of how you use your beloved phone.
The Stir asked a bunch of average Americans what really grinds their gears about how people use their cellphones. Here's what they had to say. You are that jerk with the cellphone if:
1. You're at the waterpark with your kids, and you still have the Bluetooth in your ear. Because why give your kids your undivided attention on a family outing, right?
2. You're using your phone as a music player without a set of headphones. Doesn't everyone want to hear your favorite song at top volume?
3. You're holding a conversation in the bathroom stall.
4. You're walking and texting. Who cares that you're holding up a line of people trying to actually use the sidewalk?
5. You're in the driver's seat of your car, and you're just chatting away. Lives at risk, schmives at risk.
6. Worse: you're in the driver's seat, and you're texting.
7. You're at a movie theater, and when your phone rings, you don't turn it off, you actually answer it. Then you proceed to carry on a conversation while still sitting in your seat. Who really listens to all the dialogue in the movie anyway, right?
8. You're at dinner anywhere, and your face is staring down at the little screen in your hand. What? You wanted me to pass the what? Don't you know the Jets are playing today?
9. You're at dinner, and you're talking to someone on the phone instead of the people right in front of you.
10. You're on the checkout line, and you're talking on the phone instead of paying attention to the cashier. What do you mean there are people who actually want to get home before their ice cream melts?
All right, 'fess up. Which one of these is you or someone you know? What would you add to the list?

Obnoxious ringtones. What's wrong a simple telephone ring? Or even worse yet, ringbacks. When I hear "Please enjoy the music while your party is reached," I immediately hang up.
I know a family who is guilty of all of these. They are no longer people I associate with.
You are driving down the road with your wife having a conversation and in the middle of her sentence, you suddenly start talking to someone else.
scheduling time with a friend and them then texting (or FBing) the whole time really makes me mad.
and never use your cell phone when dealing with someone who is at work (fast food, store, DMV, etc.) they don't get paid to wait for you to finish your conversation.

Two key players from 99X's heyday, Leslie Fram and Steve Craig, landed in New York in 2008 to build an adult-leaning rock station from scratch. Called 101.9/WRXP-FM, Craig compared it to the early days of 99X: using mostly word of mouth, guerrilla marketing and the programming smarts of Fram, the station grew steadily.
But RXP is now off the FM airwaves in New York.
Craig, in an interview last week, said he was disappointed by the change: "We committed to this wholeheartedly. We put a lot of passion into it. The listener response was absolutely amazing."
"We were firing on all cylinders," he added. "We had a good run."
WRXP debuted just as the economy began to crater in 2008. As revenues and profits went south, ownersEmmis Communications could not afford to spend the millions necessary to properly promote a new station in a market the size of New York. But ratings improved over time. In June, the rock station ranked 19th in Arbitron ratings with a 2.6 rating, drawing 2.3 million weekly listeners. While hardly a hit along the lines of Z100 or WCBS-FM, it was a solid middle-of-the-pack performer.
Still, Emmis needed to sell the station to pay off debt. Randy Michaels, the wild man of radio who ran Jacor, then Clear Channel (and was unceremoniously ousted from Tribune Broadcasting last year), recently purchased three stations, including WRXP. Rumor has it he wants to change 101.9 to FM talk.
So unlike 99X, which has survived in some way, shape or form, for 19 years, WRXP only made it three and a half years in the biggest radio market in the country. (Arbitron measures metro New York at 15.7 million people compared to 4.5 million for No. 7 market Atlanta.)
Craig was befuddled when Emmis a few months ago eliminated the sales staff at RXP and merged them with the two Emmis urban stations in town. That made no sense to him. As a result, he said, "as our numbers were going up, our revenues were going down."
Fram and Craig are now pondering their next moves. Craig said he was given a very fair seven months severance, which is equal to the rest of his contract.
Fram, Craig said, "was very upset. She was the one controlling the ship. She worked herself to the bone. She did everything she could to make sure it was working." I reached out to her. She accepted an email interview but as you'll see below, she assiduously avoids negativity to the press, even if she feels negative.
Q: Things seemed to be going well with WRXP in the ratings. Then the rug was pulled out from under you. What happened with the new company? Why couldn't you convince the new owners that RXP was viable?
Fram: It really doesn't work that way. New owners/companies are purchasing radio for their own format ideas and business plans. The sale of WRXP had nothing to do with ratings performance. It was purely a business decision based on reducing debt.
Q: What strategy did you pursue as you built up the station three years ago?
A: I was not there for station sign-on. Bryan Schock was executing the plan with consultant Mike Henry and VP Programming Rick Cummings, GM Dan Halyburton along with other Emmis employees. I was hired 6 months later and immediately built the team. We knew that in order to get noticed in New York City and the Tri-State, we needed to be a full-blown rock station with a great on-air staff of music curators. People like Matt Pinfield, Steve Craig, Bryan Schock and Brian Phillips who are musicologists! We hit the streets daily to meet with tastemakers to spread the word about New York's Rock Experience! Pinfield and I had a group of who we called 'RXP Rock Reporters' on the air weekly to discuss the latest in the music world, people like Spin Magazine Editor Doug Brod, Austin Skaggs from Rolling Stone, Steve Smith-Music Editor for TimeOut NY, Danny Goldberg-legendary Artist Manager, Daniel Glass-Head Of Glassnote Records, and live artist interviews/performance. This quickly created a buzz.
Q: Did this remind you a bit like 99X in the 1990s?
A: Absolutely! 99X listeners would say 'It's like you guys went through my CD collection' and RXP fans would say 'I've stopped listening to my iPod now that RXP is on the air'. That's pretty incredible for any person in radio to hear. The passion and excitement for both brands were really similar. There will always be a certain segment of the audience that loves the companionship , music discovery, entertainment and localization that radio delivers. Most adults don't have the opportunity to be on the internet 24/7 discovering new music. Radio is a solid filter!
Q: What are you most proud of what you accomplished in New York?
A: I'm most proud of the ratings goals that our team reached. It's very difficult to explain to people outside of our industry what a success story this really was. Emmis signed on a new station in New York on a jazz frequency, in a period of economic doom and around the time of new ratings methodology that largely favors known brands. We were the 'little station that could' and we never would have reached the ratings success without the collective hard work from everyone on the staff, the support of a great GM & corporate team and the listeners that rallied around us.
Q: What was the most fun you had working the top market in the United States?
A: My hobby is still 'live' music so I was like a kid in a candy store seeing shows at legendary venues like the Beacon Theatre, Radio City Music Hall and Irving Plaza! A perfect day for me would be walking six miles on a Saturday through amazing neighborhoods and taking part in the diverse culture.
Q: How did your connections in the music business help you?
A: Yes and we helped each other! The industry was dying for support from a new music station. We all knew it was good for the Tri-State in general so the partnerships we formed and the relationships we had were invaluable. Not a day went by that a band or artists wasn't coming in for an interview or performance from local to national acts. RXP became part of all marketing plans for artist relations.
Q: New York radio has had a reputation of not being enough of a rock town. Were you able to prove that wrong?
A: I don't think anyone can make that statement when 2.3 million listeners came to us on a weekly basis. Kings of Leon, Arcade Fire, Pearl Jam, Gorillaz, Muse and more don't sell out Madison Square Garden if this isn't a new music/rock city!
Q: Was it tougher to pull in advertising than listeners?
A: Only in the beginning because you have to prove yourself with ratings. There were definite early supporters like Live Nation and other big brands because the media buyers loved the format. After the first year we really started to see that turnaround. We had an elite sales staff who loved the brand and were excited to tell the RXP story!
Q: Did you feel Emmis provided you enough marketing support?
A: Radio in general was hit hard but the Wall Street disaster. I can't think of any of my friends in radio who had marketing during this period. Emmis provided us with all the resources they could.
Q: Do you think NY will get another rock station soon?
A: Time will tell. I know that the fans are there, people who grew up listening to legendary radio like WNEW, WLIR and even KROCK. I am hopeful for the artists, the fans and the industry.
Q: What is the biggest difference between NY and Atlanta when it comes to doing your job?
A: You always have a different set of circumstances and resources in any market. It's also about the team and collaborations. I'm really lucky to have experienced both.
Q: You worked your usual 12-15 hours a day. Was it worth it despite this premature end?
A: Absolutely-this was the best decision I ever made! Living and programming in New York City was a dream come true! I owe it all to Dan Halyburton, Rick Cummings and Jimmy Steal for hiring me. I was so nervous my first day on the air with Matt Pinfield. I kept thinking, 'I can't believe I'm on the air in NYC'!
Q: What was it like working with Steve Craig again?
A: In my opinion, Steve Craig is one of the greatest talents in the country. He conquered middays and proved to be an amazing morning personality-and a one man show! He was also my right hand in the Programming Dept serving as APD. He also knows where all the Tiki Bars are in the city!
Q: Where would you like to go next? Is there any chance you could return to Atlanta?
A; It's a big wide world-I'm open to anything and excited about my next adventure!
Q: What do you think of Dave FM?
A: I haven't had a chance to listen recently but as you know one of my best friends in the world does mornings (!), Jimmy Baron! Some former 99X'ers are there as well like Crash, Yvonne, Fat Kid (Jeremy) and Jill who are like family! I've always loved Mara on the air (and as a person) and I think the world of Margot. Plus a shout out to John, Vaughn and Courtney in sales. These are amazing people and real radio talent!

Steve and Leslie were and all still class acts. Wish they were back in Atlanta. I listened to their station on line and it was great-too bad radio is in such a sorry shape.
July 28th, 2011
10:05 am
I actively search for new music, and followed Leslie's career when she moved to NYC. Not only was she the only outlet for alternative rock in NYC, but she was the first person to give local musicians a chance to have their music played. There is already a "Bring back WRXP" facebook page, proof of just how much the station meant to the city..I can only think that wherever that team lands, great things will happen.
July 28th, 2011

There are 15M listeners in NYC – if there is demand for rock, there will be rock. Simple as that – for some reason talk radio is running amuck on FM – I can only assume its the influence of Sirius, who offers tons of talk plus CNN, CNBC, etc. – its funny how little you lose when you just hear those stations without even seeing their on air folks.

I wish Atlanta had a new music station of the quality of 99X when it started out. Leslie Fram has exactly the right idea about what a radio station could and should be…a filter to help people find the best new music that's out there. And Steve Craig has always had a great ear for that good new music.
July 28th, 2011
11:20 am
Leslie Fram is one of the most influential women in the music industry, but you'd never know it with her incredibly humble demeanor. Wherever she lands, it WILL be a success, and she's proven nothing less.
July 28th, 2011
11:20 am
Why talk radio keeps infecting FM radio, I do not understand. Is it that tough for those talk radio listeners to switch to the AM dial or use it on their presets?
July 28th, 2011
11:33 am
I can only imagine non-stop playlists like they've had on 99X for years of 311. Ahem. 99X was ahead of it's time when it started and then began to become a relic of the 90's. People still can't understand why many of us jumped to satellite years ago and unfortunately they're starting to be programmed by the same duds that destroyed "free" radio.
July 28th, 2011
11:34 am
I remember going to 99X's Big Day Out concerts in the 90's. No radio station here has done anything close since. I was a big fan of the Morning X and Steve Craig!
July 28th, 2011

@StefanO That should be "The AJC can't use correct spelling or grammar to save its own life."
July 28th, 2011

'all Foo Fighters all the time' would be GREAT! I would be all over that…
Man…I miss Leslie Fram, it would be great if she could replace Jimmy Barron. I love Yvonne and Crash, but Jimmy is like some complaning old woman!

Remember the Celebrity Softball Games that 99X used to host? Those were always so much fun. Started out playing at Kennesaw SU and moved up to the Ga Dome.
Loved to see the radio guys, music guys and the athletes mixing it up on the field.
July 28th, 2011
12:02 pm
Atlanta rock/alt radio was never better than when Leslie was at 99x. It would be great to get her back to bring great radio back to Atlanta. It has been sorely missing for years. Will someone be smart enough to offer her the right gig here? Doubtful, based on the decisions of the recent past. Besides, who would want to come back to Atlanta after NYC?
July 28th, 2011
12:15 pm
Just remember…you idiots who wanted that rap crap instead of Rock killed 99X. Music today is a blunder of idiots with no music talent what so ever.
July 28th, 2011
12:32 pm
I miss the old days of 99x. When people could actually sing without autotune. Now it's all pop top 40 crap.
July 28th, 2011
12:35 pm
Old Man Fram? She needs to move on. I hope she is forced to listen to Collective Soul over and over and over again like they used to play on 99x.
Steve was cool, loved the lunchtime time machine.

somebody remind me …. who was the dork that replaced what's his name when he went to hollywood to make movies?
July 28th, 2011

Fred Toucher single-handedly destroyed 99X.
July 28th, 2011
12:53 pm
What happened to Barnes?
July 28th, 2011
12:55 pm
Yes …. Toucher ….. what a total waste of $*$*%^%(#
July 28th, 2011
1:04 pm
Barnes took his backne to hollywood… and immediately came back to atlanta. what was his band called? Grupmyfish or somthing like that? Wonder if they are still together? God, I hated listening to him in the mornings – all he would talk about was tennis and his band.
Toucher was an upgrade. Hated to see him go – he, fram and jimmy had very good chemistry.
July 28th, 2011
1:18 pm
Fram was EASILY the smartest person at 99X. Steve Craig played the best music (house of retro pleasure). Jimmy Barron was and still is awful – ladies seem to like his complete wussiness. Barnes was a stiff. Crash was an idiot though a lovable one. The Queen was always fresh. Fred Toucher stunk like cheese vomit.
Glad to hear Fram and Steve had a good run in NYC.
July 28th, 2011

BARNES acting was terrible.
July 28th, 2011
1:21 pm
Did you read this before posting? Do you have an editor? You start talking about some "move" before it is revealed the station was closed down. Seeing as the title on the front page is "Where 99xers are now" or something similar, this is entirely unhelpful.
Two key players from 99X's heyday, Leslie Fram and Steve Craig, landed in New York in 2008 to build an adult-leaning rock station from scratch. Called 101.9/WRXP-FM, Craig compared it to the early days of 99X: using mostly word of mouth and guerrilla marketing, as well as the programming smarts of Fram, the station grew steadily.

July 28th, 2011
1:36 pm
Not knocking Dave FM – I like it – but bringing in Leslie and Steve would be a brilliant move. If management is willing to invest in the product and watch it grow.
July 28th, 2011
1:41 pm
It all went south when they tried to build around talentless Toucher, and when they fired Barnes
July 28th, 2011
2:01 pm
What's incredible is how many stations seem to think that alternative rock means the grunge knockoffs like Nickleback and Stone Sour. 99X cratered because it got stuck in that gloomy rut. Dave FM took off because it expanded the playlist and looked beyond a 300-song rotation. Quality music attracts listeners and listeners attract advertisers. Duh.
July 28th, 2011
2:06 pm
I'm an editor (not for the AJC), and even I don't hold Rodney up to the same standards as some of you. I thought this was an editorial blog, which meant imperfections were possible and probable. What's the difference between this and a blog, or is there any?
On topic: I never listened to 99X while Leslie was hear, but many of my friends who did seemed to really enjoy her on-air work. When I found out that she also handled the program director portion of things, it seemed as though any radio executive could do no better than this woman – two for the price of one! She seems humble and focused on the area that she knows best. Good luck to her!
July 28th, 2011
2:20 pm
…when Leslie was hear??
Mr. Ho and you should get along great.
July 28th, 2011

leslie fram stay away from atlanta radio,you are old and outdated,and yes you do have the perfect face for radio.
July 28th, 2011

@Kat – "hear" or "here" it is all the same to me. I say right "cheer".

July 28th, 2011

"We knew that in order to get noticed in New York City and the Tri-State, we needed to be a full-blown rock station"
I'm sure everyone was dying to hear some stone temple pilots and bush
July 28th, 2011
3:04 pm
Fram is a class act. Sure, she may have a "face for radio", but ease up, folks. She is amazingly talented in ways the average listener probably cannot appreciate. She also commands huge respect in music and broadcasting circles, and I would love to see her back in the ATL.
BTW, I have met Barnes, and yes, he is a complete tool.
July 28th, 2011
3:14 pm
First, of course Randy Michaels will change the format to talk. After all, you don't have to pay those pesky ASCAP , BMI & SESAC fees to play music. As for Leslie Fram not saying anything negative, even if she feels it… that the way things work here in the Untied States. Freedom of speech… until you really want to vent about something, and you'll never work again. She's doing the CYA move, which I understand. I don't play the CYA game. I've already decided I'll never work for another crack-head employer, so I don't have to play the CYA game. Remember folks, all jobs are nothing more than Band-Aids in the Untied States. (Temporary fixes)
July 28th, 2011
3:21 pm
Leslie, We miss you on Atlanta radio. 99X was just awesome back in the 90's. The music was great as was the chemistry of all the jockies….Great things are not often duplicated. Dave FM is OK, but not enough cutting edge music….99X took a que from college radio…..
July 28th, 2011
3:34 pm
Jimmy Baron is a squeaky little douche.
Barnes probably has a mirror above his waterbed with neon strobe lights around it that spell out his name.
Crash has one joke that he really enjoys:'Im a sloppy,obnoxious drunk,HAH ! '
Fram was an egomaniac who delighted in wrecking people's careers if she didnt like them,so screw her right in the ol' lemon caboose.

Spring 2012
"You're frayed at the edges",
She let me know,
A return scene from the vaults;
One I've already been told.
We wondered, perhaps, if there was more to life than this.
Yet, as we thought in silence, we determined that this must be it.
There was a dull acceptance,
As your hand drew back,
Displaying a blushed realisation
In all the comforts I lacked.
Turning on a heel, words splashed from someone's lips,
Moistening your smile as you savoured a fresh mix.
Let's tell them they're wrong
That It's all in their heads.
But I knew I'd been mislaid
From what others had said.
She was at once so bright, the same when we'd all left.
Yet away from the beams, she seemed dimmed, bereft.
I can succeed with identity,
A sentiment revealed,
Yet as you told me later
"I won't understand how you feel".
So as the evening died down, behind a maroon chimney terrace
You lay your hand on my thigh and the warmth began to focus.
It is hard to believe the light that comes from your eyes.
Or the height that comes just from my hair
Either from sleeping on it weird or from that terrifying scare.
The scare that came with the pleasure of our current situation
And the discomfort I get from the inevitable changes.
But that's awrite because on your soft earlobes are pearls
And they make you look like someone classy from a black&white film.
Like Audrey Hepburn in your black three-quarter length pants
Or a young Ava Gardner when you dance in your bra.
And when you smoulder in the kitchen with your hands turned on your hip
With a look slightly lewd trying to match her pouted lips.
I let out dumb laugh, which I find falls mainly in my eyes –
As they seem to be the most honest tool (I have) for sharing this life.
Glasgow Nature
I'm very sad to think that, for now, this will be my last week living in Glasgow. I've spent four years living here in total, with three spent in the same flat. I've become very fond of my flat (and Glasgow itself) in these three years which have been a constant and comforting backdrop to my university career. I realise that no doubt I'm viewing my time here with rose-tinted specs as it wasn't always that fun or easy all of the time, but it has for sure been an important stage in some sort of progression.
I'm aware that I will miss the places, the environment, and the nice people I've met here, but it is also important to remember the feelings of apprehension I had about coming here in the first place. Hopefully that means that in two years I will feel the same fondness for another city and will have had an equally happy time there.
I am aware this sounds like I'm dying, I'm not, I'm just moving down the road to Newcastle. Don't say that's the same thing…
Early Summer
I went on a trip to the Andalucia region of Spain this summer. I was there from late May to early June. It's funny how long ago that seems now.
One of the best bits of the trip was lying on the beach in Cadiz with my gerlfrund. I was eating some cherries and enjoying a bit in "A Moveable Feast", Hemingway's notes on his time in Paris. He was describing how F. Scott Fitzgerald had come to him upset due to the fact he had a tiny penis.
Art Afternoon
The frequent visiting birds of the season
Suggest I'm made from a tougher spice
Like mace or cardamom.
You, we all agree, are cinnamon; sweetened.
Looking down Queen Street we find an answer
To an afternoon slightly light on a sense of culture.
And like the visiting bird, who is now a vulture,
We peruse the GoMA for artistic thoughts
Stretched Conceptually further.
Together we count the number of cunts and pricks
Concealed in a poster, next to a Boyle Family street front.
But we are equally keen to draw from one another
To help establish once and for all,
Whether its the level of enjoyment in the art present,
Or the disdain in the Glasgow rain, which is keeping us indoors.
Old Age
I'm making fresh stock and listening to 5live on a Sunday. Where did my youth go?

Integrating music into our everyday lives.
My idea is all about making music and singing as a tool to set a positive cycle in motion that will encourage respect, communication and expression, which to me, are key ingredients to a society of individuals who can truly change the world.
No, this is not a new idea - but I think it's something we forgot how to do, and I want to help us remember.
I made a video to explain how we can reap the benefits of integrating music into our everyday lives called "Growing Back into Music", which you can watch here:

May 12 2013: What I wouldn't give to be there! Sounds truly interesting, thanks so much for sharing this, Della!
It reminds me of a documentary I once saw, which was about the effect of music on unborn babies.
They performed an experiment, in which one pregnant woman played the Backstreet Boys to her belly every day.
When the baby was born, the experiment continued.
The baby was crying in its crib.
The mother put on peaceful, soothing Classical music, but the baby continued to cry.
Then, she put on the Backstreet Boys, and the baby immediately became peaceful and fell asleep!
Perhaps this event can shed some light on to why this happened!

For the Red Hat / Intel webinar on big data and JBoss Data Grid (JDG), I executed a performance test against JBoss Data Grid with RadarGun on dedicated Intel hardware. Prior to executing the performance test, I executed a scaled down version of it with a number of garbage collector configurations including the new G1 collector.
