Who is your favorite individual or group musical performer? Favorite genre? Why?
My favorite genre is rock because it's fast and exciting. Currently my favorite group is Los Lobos, a Latin influence rock band from East Los Angeles (my favorite band changes frequently). I like their music cause it's fast and exciting but has a certain softness to it.

Feb 8 2013: Haley, I really appreciate your openness. Just out of curiosity, does your mother work, or how does she pay her bills? Does she have any job skills?Do you think she still uses drugs, or is it just alcohol? Why do you think she abuses alcohol?When you guys have a relatively pleasant conversation, what does she like to talk about? What are her interests that you consider relatively "healthy," like maybe she likes certain TV programs, or likes to go for walks, or something else.By the way, I put another new set of comments down there, or maybe up there, if you didn't see them they're there, if you just didn't want to reply, cool.
Feb 9 2013: She does not work, and she is on disability. One of her ex boyfriends cut her arm and now she has no feeling in her forearm and hand, so it makes it hard to work sometimes. I am not sure what her job skills would be, but I know that she is creative and has some talent in making arts and crafts, and she has a great singing voice.
When we have pleasant conversations we talk about what I have been up to lately or we talk about good things that have happened in the past. We don't really talk a lot. When we do talk she talks a lot about her health.
She likes music and she likes to tan outside in the summer. I don't know what else she does. I hardly ever see her. Sometimes I go over a year without seeing her.
Feb 11 2013: Well, Haley, it's just interesting to me to hear about your relationship. When she talks about her health, what aspect of it? Her forearm and hand? How do you feel when she talks about her health, is it boring, or interesting, or what?
You guys talk on the telephone?
What sort of music does she like? Do people tan in Kansas, I live about thirty miles from the ocean, so people tan here, but I didn't know they did in Kansas. What do they do, just lie outside in the backyard? Does your mom have her own house where she could lie outside in the backyard?
I wonder what else she does, cause I don't think you can fill your days all year just listening to music and tanning. I wonder if she goes to live concerts, that would be fun.Jan 30 2013: Haha I like a perfect circle a lot. Tool is something I would listen to when I meditate, well a lot of the songs. Some of Maynard's lyrics seem angry in his earliest created songs.
I was able to listen to this music with this song (Velvet Underground). I liked the beat I think that is why. With other songs sometimes my mind focus mostly on the singer. I usually am attracted to the drum beat when I just listen to the music and not focus on the singer.
I definitely listen to happier sounding music when I am happy, and in the summer a lot when I am feeling laid back and relaxed.
Some women have a grouchiness that can flare into anger, as well as men. Or perhaps I only listen to angry music during my menstrual cycle. :) Hahaha. I think my anger stems from unresolved issues from my childhood.
I am studying at a university, but not of music. I just have a passion for music. I also have a passion for art and other subjects. I am studying to become an Elementary teacher or Social worker after I get my bachelors. Once I have received a bachelors I would love to continue my education and receive a masters in most likely Psychology, or maybe Family Studies.
I am listening to the The Plimsouls song you sent me. It is a treat for your ears. :) I enjoy it
Here are two interesting songs that are pretty different, if you would like
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buQtHResgog Yalla Habibi (This songs makes you want to dance like a bellydancer.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ps9ENtfoHI John Butler Trio- Losing you (This song has the most romantic lyrics ever. If you want to woo someone, send this their way.)
Feb 2 2013: Thanks, Haley. A lot of great music. When you say meditation, you mean you sit down, put on some music, and think. Do you think about the music, or your life, or what?
Interesting that your ears are sometimes drawn to the drums. Do you know why? I'm going to try that, focusing on the drums when I listen to music, just as a different way to listen.
That's a good point, that men are angry too. Maybe women get more angry from moment to moment, but men must carry around anger too, because they commit a lot more crimes than women. Right now I believe there are 3 million guys in jail or prison in the U.S.
What would be the connection between anger and a woman's menstrual cycle? Just physical pain?
What are you angry about from your childhood? I remember you saying on another conversation, uh, didn't your grandmother raise you? That would be tough. Maybe you can turn it into a TED conversation, ask people if their childhoods were happy or not, and why. Ask them how they've resolved issues.
You know, if you want to be a teacher or social worker, that's great. I've seen a couple of photos of you on TED, and you have a really cool image, good style. I wonder if you could do a job where you actually use your style, because after all even the drabbest person could be a teacher or social worker. For a job in the music industry, it would really help to look cool. You could be a performer, record producer, maybe run a nightclub or larger venue. Even as a music critic it would help to look cool, because even if they don't publish your picture, it still helps to look cool when you're interviewing rock stars, going to concerts, and so on. A job in the fashion industry might also be good for someone with good style.
The John Butler is nice, quite intense. Who do you think loves more intensely in a relationship, men or women?
I work my belly when I work out but not quite as strong as belly dancing. Wonder why women like belly dancing more?
Feb 2 2013: Usually whenever I meditate I do sit down, or even lay down. I think about life in general. Sometimes I think about my life. Sometimes I think about how we are all connected and I focus on that and feeling connected to the Earth. Sometimes I try not to think but to visualize something beautiful in my mind (which is funny because when you ask something to visualize beauty in their mind and tell you what it is, there are so many varied responses.) I usually visualize myself sitting on a tropical beach, at night surrounded by a crisp night sky where I can see much more stars than here, listening to the waves and the fire, I am always sitting by a night campfire.) Interesting to me, what do you think you would visualize?
I don't know why I am drawn to the drums, but I do have a slight fascination with tribes. I watch a bit of documentaries on tribes, and love the tribal music that they play during ceremonies. The drum beats are quite strong in their music. It's great.
I believe you're right on the anger topic , it is probably fairly equally spread between men and women, but I am not sure. The connection between anger and a woman's menstrual cylce would be raging hormones that cause drastic mood swings :) and sometimes cramping. Hehe.
Anger in my childhood stems from various situations. I am fairly open about the topic and I get a little embarrassed about it when people give my pity. I understand though, that it is something some people can't help but feel a bit of pity. I was (and my two brothers, but not my half brothers) taken away from my mom when I was only 6, because of abuse from my step father and major neglect from both of them. I lived with my grandma (and boy was that a difficult transition) from then on. I had visitation with my father every summer in Georiga that my grandparents made sure that I had. When I was 8 years old I had a very bad summer visitation with my father and endured some sexual abuse from him. When I made it back to my grandparents......Feb 2 2013: ...... home in Kansas I wanted to tell them, but waited months before I finally did. Then my brother's were told what happened and that was rough for me. I felt guilty that because I told my brother's were never going to see my dad again. I felt loads of guilt and embarrassment. Anyways, I haven't seen or spoken to my father since then. (Although he did send me a letter about a week ago, and he is waiting for my reply to it. I am thinking about if I should respond or not still.) I would love to hear responses from a Tedtalk on this subject, but I would also fear that people would believe that I am fishing for pity. I wouldn't want that, but it is nice to share my story and hear others'.
Thanks for the compliment on my style. I don't feel nearly stylish as a lot of girls I see on campus! I often try to look nice, and often times I don't try at all. hahaha. I don't believe the cool lifestyle would really be for me. I just want to help people. That's all I want to do with my life. Hopefully I am able to help children in some way. I am sure you can understand why I want to ^^^. But I am flattered with the compliment!
I couldn't tell you who loves more intensely. That is a great question. I think it may be equal, but a lot of men have difficulty showing their love in ways that a woman can understand that he loves her. But I am sure it's about equal.
Belly dancing is sensual! haha Maybe that is why?
Feb 3 2013: Well, as far as meditation, I really don't, Haley. Basically when I lie down, I have enough to think about, projects, problems, people, the world, that I don't just relax my mind and think of nice scenes. And I like it this way, I'm glad to have stuff that I need to work on. Although I'm not saying meditation is just fun and games either. When I just let my mind go, probably it's to sexual thoughts, I guess a lot of guys are this way.
I'm sorry you've had those troubles in your life. It certainly doesn't seem to me you're looking for pity when you tell your story. What was the nature of the neglect you suffered, and the abuse from your stepfather? Do you see your mother now? Is she still with your stepfather, and do you see him? Who would you say are the most positive relationships in your life?
As far as your style goes, well, other girls may have better style in some ways, like business style, or high society style. I think you have Rockin' style, which is its own special. I still think of music with you, you do realize that making music helps people too? Helps them forget their problems or see them in a new light, helps them put their feelings into words, sometimes helps them meet their mate at a concert. How important is fun to you? Do you think you should have fun at your job? That you, Haley, deserve to have fun? Let's say you could help people just as much as a musician as being a teacher, but have more fun, would you be a musician? Do you think you could get on stage and be the lead singer of a band, or play an instrument? Or perhaps do a behind-the-scenes job, like producer? We're all different, but to me being a teacher or social worker might be a good job, but it just doesn't sound like much fun. If you changed your mind, obviously there are a lot of ways to get involved in music, for instance if you have friends in bands you could start hanging with them more.Feb 20 2013: Sorry I had to delete my comments about my mom. I am just feeling too emotional about this topic. But I will tell you that she has lied to me in the past, usually over phone calls that my grandmother would monitor while I would talk to my mom. You must know there were many times in my life that my mom was not even allowed visitation to see me (because of her addictions). I have to change the subject because I am getting mad thinking about everything. Sorry!
Anyways.. What are you favorite types of art?
Do you know what Burning Man is?
Feb 20 2013: Well, I'm sorry you've had troubles, Haley. I guess I'm lucky, I've had a pretty good relationship with my mom. I can understand your having strong emotions, well to me it seems better to talk about it, am I wrong about that? Obviously you don't have to answer my questions right away (or ever if you don't want to), but you can always wait until some of those strong emotions have passed. I hope your mom will solve some of her problems, and also the two of you will be close.
I'd say I always tend to like the more modern art. One thing about up-to-the-minute art is it is fresh because you haven't seen it many times before like you have the older art.
Burning man is a festival in the desert in Nevada. I think people have to go in with few resources and live for a few days, or only the resources they can carry, or something like that. I'm sure if you want to go you can find a way, as I said contact networks of people in Kansas who have gone or contact the festival organizers and ask what you can do if you don't have much money and you want to go. If nothing else you might be able to catch a ride with the people in Kansas who are going the next year. Or put the question on the Net, "how can I go to burning man if I don't have much money?" and see what comes up. Or make it a TED conversation, why not?
Feb 20 2013: It's okay. You're right that it may be better to talk about the emotions, it is still hard. I just bought a journal , so maybe that will help?
II agree with you. I paint myself and love art, but I can't tell you the names of many artists or their pieces. I do like Banksy a lot lately. :) I like making art more than looking at art. I haven't made a painting in a while. The last art I made was a collage. The last painting I did was a watercolor realistic looking heart. That was months ago. I want to create something new. But I am not like some people that can paint everyday. Often I feel like I have to let the idea of the artwork come to me, rather than me strive for ideas of what to paint. In order for me to love it it has to be that way. That is why I do so badly when people ask me to paint certain things for them . I do it, but often times I don't like the outcome. I am hard on myself with my paintings though. I always want to do the best that I feel I am able to do.
My boyfriend has a friend who went to Burning Man. I may ask him to talk to him about it.
Feb 21 2013: I don't know if a journal will help, for me I'm not too high on them but they might help some.
Thanks for sharing your feelings about art. That's a great attitude, to wait til the art comes to you, but could you be a professional artist and do that, you might have to produce on a schedule.
For Banksy I can appreciate his creativity but if he is doing graffiti outlaw that is wrong. Having lived in parts of Los Angeles where there is plenty graffiti I can tell you it is ugly and stress-producing no matter how well done. Others may disagree.
I'm sure you can get to Burning Man if you want to. I wonder who exactly puts it on, an organization? Maybe they have a Kansas contact. Are there any festivals similar to B.M. in Kansas? When my energy is higher I'll ask about it too, how you can go if you don't have much $, have you enabled e-mail on your profile, I'll email it to you whatever I find out. If Burning Man is about survival skills, Haley, you know there are classes in survival all over the country, but you're right they probably don't combine them with culture like Burning Man.
Thanks a lot for conversing with me as this conversation is nearing its end. If it closes and you want to talk, email me via my profile.

Feb 17 2013: Thanks, Haley. What is the nature of her sickness, and what does she say about it?
Would you say you like your mother? Why or why not?
I wonder if you, or you and your boyfriend, could take her to a concert, maybe that would be enjoyable for all of you. You could do it for a special occasion, like Christmas or her birthday, or just on an ordinary day for the pleasure of being together.
Comment deleted
Feb 20 2013: When you say different sicknesses, do you mean like the cold and the flu?
If that's really true that addiction rules her life, that is sad. What is your evidence that addiction rules her life? When or where has she lied to you? If you hardly know her, how do you say she has lied to you a lot, because if she has lied to you a lot, that means you've had some interaction with her, true or not true? In other words, to some degree you do know her? Or maybe if she lies a lot you don't feel like you know the real her?
Does she ever express any positive ambitions or desires? What are they? Are they realistic?
Haley, I hope all your memories aren't painful. One nice thing about taking Mom to a concert is there aren't too many opportunities to lie, it's pretty straightforward, you pick her up, take her to the concert, take her home. But there are cheap things you can do if you want to spend time with her. Even just taking a walk. Are you scared she would lie to you on a walk?
I wonder if there's some way you could go to burning man without having a lot of money (not necessarily with your mom)? I think in some parts of the country there are groups of people who have been to burning man in the past and get together wherever they live, like in Kansas, just because they have burning man in common. Maybe you could find one of those groups, maybe by searching online, and ask if there is any cheap way to go to burning man. Tell them you don't have much money. My friend in Los Angeles went to burning man and now he gets together with other people in Los Angeles who went to it. Maybe there's some rich person in the Kansas group who went to it and who will sponsor you or partially sponsor you.
I appreciate your talking with me. I usually think that in the end kids can get close to their parents because parents had enough love to bring the kid into the world, but I could be wrong about it.
Feb 11 2013: Hope you enjoy the link to Nellie McKay:
- 0
There are several TED presentations for her.
She just has one of those voices......and although her songs are humorous in nature..... don't underestimate the message it is sending to the audience.
Feb 21 2013: Thanks, Mary, finally got to watch all three. Well, she is certainly entertaining. It'd be interesting to hear her give a talk about how she creates her songs and style.
If you were to write and perform music what would you write about and how would you perform it?Feb 3 2013: By the way, I added a watercolor painting I made to my profile, if you wish to view it!
Feb 3 2013: Well, am I looking at it right here, right? Cute, good sense of humor with the tongue sticking out. I like how your head is tilted and partially out of the frame, it's more original than just looking straight-on. Seems like you're a talented person, ever written a song?
I actually added two new sets of comments for you below, Haley, I don't know if it will be confusing when TED sends you an email alert.Feb 19 2013: Nice. It's way better than a camshot which does not seem to reflect any character.

Feb 3 2013: So basically you really didn't have a mother and father growing up. So what I'm wondering, Haley, is does it matter if one has a mother and father as long as one has loving older people in one's life, is there anything really so special about a mother and father per se?
Do your mother and you ever have times when you're clicking, when she's not crying and awkward, but you're talking about life and really connecting with each other?
If your father sexually abused you at age eight, that's pretty heavy. Would that possibly be a police matter? To me you don't seem like a person who would go to the police about things. Why is that, or what would be your thinking on that?
Again, I'm sorry that all happened to you. Seems to me you're handling it all pretty well in the present, you have some very positive relationships, and the relationships that aren't so good you're trying to figure out what to do about them. Which is pretty much everybody's situation, don't you think?
Comment deleted
Feb 7 2013: Yeah, I don't get that, Haley, why would you think you weren't good enough for your real parents, even as a kid wouldn't you understand that it was their problem, not yours?
What is it that might keep you from ever being friends with your mother? How would you describe her personality? What are her problems, and do you think she'll ever get over them? Can you help?
Yeah, sorry you've been through troubles. I'm glad things are better.Feb 3 2013: and uncle, and of course my boyfriend now.
I can say that when I was little I thought I was going to be a singer. And I do have a friend who is in a band. But I am quite shy. Being in the spotlight is not my thing. I would probably be like Jim Morrison at first from the Doors and sing with my back facing the audience. haha. I would prefer more to do art. I paint quite a lot, and I almost majored in Art. It is a therapy for me. I'm still very undecided in what I will major in. I just know I want to help children. I think that I will have a lot of fulfillment in my life if I have done that. I want to also be able to see the changes that I have made within people's life. I need that reassurance to know I am doing something right.
I did think a lot about majoring in Anthropology. But majoring in Anthropology conflicts with another dream of mine. Although I have always dreamed of traveling, I still dream of having a family and raising a child. Raising a child is probably my biggest dream.
Feb 3 2013: Well, don't forget, not all jobs in music mean being in the spotlight. And anyway, you're saying after a while you could become comfortable in the spotlight, just not at first. I would say your Rockin' Style is a special talent you have, and I believe if people have a special talent they should seek to share that with the world.
Art is rockin', but not as rockin' as music. Working with children is rockin', but not as rockin' as music. Anthropology is rockin', but not as rockin' as music. Do you agree with me that it's important to choose something that actually gives you fun, it shouldn't just be about helping other people, there should be something in it for Haley? Cause maybe music would be the most fun for you.
My most desired job, if I could do anything, would be to be a dairy farmer. A long time ago, I fell in love with the idea of cows, milk, outdoors, country, nature. The city where I live is right on the edge of Los Angeles, and there is no agriculture in my city. I stay here because my mother and sister live here, and my brother lives nearby, and I like being close to them. But dairy #1.
Do you think it would ever interest you to be a dairy farmer, or a dairy farmer's wife?
Feb 4 2013: I know that music can help a lot of people going through struggles in life, as it helped me a bit. But I don't think music helps as much as someone going out on the job saving a child from child abuse would. Which is why I am seeking that. I have made it my life purpose to help children specifically and I don't think I could help children with music (unless I want to be like Miley Cyrus or something.) The only way I could feel that I could help children with music is if I taught music classes to children.
My boyfriend I don't think would ever be a dairy farmer. So I would never marry one. I would never be one either, I don't like milk actually, I have to take calcium vitamins everyday. When I was a baby I was lactose intolerant, I only drank goats milk, I believe.
Feb 7 2013: Yeah, I would say music can help children in a lot of ways. For example, starting from a young age, it gives them happiness and entertainment. In junior high and high school there are dances that bring the two sexes together, partly over music. In fact, throughout your life there are dances that bring people together, and to dance you need music. Concerts the same. Some kids wouldn't even be here if their parents hadn't met at a concert!
Saving a kid from child abuse would also be great! My intuition about you, even though I don't know you that well, is that fun, having fun, matters to you. I tend to think music would be more fun than social worker. You know best.
Remember, if you're ever not sure about your choice, since you said you thought about art and anthro too, you can always talk to a college counselor.
I hope I can get you interested in milk again, or that life will get you interested in milk again! I just love the stuff and drink a great deal. It is the first food we consume, and nature provides it to be really good for us, plus it tastes delicious!Jan 25 2013: This is a difficult one. I'm one of those who would be depressed without a day of music.
For some strange reason I usually love UK pop, since the days of Spice Girls I've come to love UK bands and acts (Westlife (Irish), The Corrs (Irish?), Lemar, CraigDavid, Adele, Jessie Jay, Sade Adu, Sugababes, Leona Lewis, Seal, Atomic Kitten, Girl's Aloud, Coldplay, S Club 7, Blue,One Direction.......
I love love songs; the British usually keep things clean and they sound as though they have more depth; the Americans tend to add all sorts of things that are in my opinion 'dirt'. But I love American acts like BoyzIImen, MaryMary, Brandon Heath, Backstreet Boys, Kelly Clarkson, Alicia Keys, Taylor Swift, Bridget Mendler, Selena Gomes; 'Sometimes' by Britney Spears is the only one of her song that II still play.
I love reggae, the few decent ones; African acts: Jamali, FreshlyGround, Lagbaja, Gang of Instrumentals.
As a Yoruba from Nigeria, Lagbaja touches me in a way most of the musicians dont...deep into the heart of 21st century Yoruba life, philosphy and rhythm. Wow; I love music, I play the piano and I can talk about music all day.
Jan 28 2013: Thank you, Feyisayo. Lots of good music there. Is there a pattern to it, most of it is light, but the Lagbaja is rocking.
What do you mean by clean and dirty in music. What do you mean, the British sound like they have more depth?
How does Lagbaja reflect your life, philosophy, and rhythm?
Down below I sent Haley links to a couple of songs I like. Here is another, although it seems different from what you like. But let me know what you think.
Jan 30 2013: The song on your link does have a good sound. Lagbaja's lyrics reflects the life, philosophy and rhythmn on the Yorubas, not mine personally.
I like songs with lyrics that maintain dignity, purity and positive values. The kind that I can play when kids are there without being uncomfortable.
Feb 3 2013: When I listened to Lagbaja, it seemed to me the lyrics were in a language other than English, Feyisayo. What specifically is he singing about, I'd appreciate it if you didn't just give a general answer, like he's singing about life, but what is he saying about life, and how is what he's saying specifically Yoruban?
Oh, when you said clean and dirty, I thought you were talking about production values, sometimes I think music could be called clean when it's very simple and bright-sounding, or dirty when it maybe has a fuzzy or scratchy sound. You're talking about the moral values, which is different. Here you've really caught me, Feyisayo. Part of me totally agrees with you, but part of me says you can put on one kind of music when kids are in the room, and another kind when kids aren't in the room. I'm afraid I just can't decide.Jan 24 2013: I enjoy a wide variety of sounds. I enjoy listening to trance, choir music, reggae, and a wide range of artists from Moby to the African Children's Choir. It depends on my mood. Here are a couple fantastic songs.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3js4WQKdqE Rain Dance- Adiemus
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjAoBKagWQA All is Full of Love- Bjork
Jan 27 2013: Thanks, Haley. Those are both really cool. How would you describe that music in words, "dreamy," "cloud-like," or what? How did you find the Adiemus?
I was wondering, do you think there's music women like more? They say there's "chick lit" (chick literature), literature that women like more, and "chick flicks," movies that women like more. Maybe music is the same way?
What moods do you go through, and what music do you listen to in each mood? Do you know why your mood changes?
I'll send you a link to two songs I like. Let me know how they strike you:
Jan 27 2013: Hmm I would say dreamy.
Sometimes when I feel just in a fine mood I can listen to anything, most likely I would listen to something upbeat. When I am angry I may listen to something more like A Perfect Circle. Last night I was listening to music in the car, I was listening to Lateralus from Tool that my boyfriend introduced to me, and it was very trance-like. There were hardly any lyrics and the sounds kind of took me away. But often times I listen to music with romantic lyrics, like I think a lot of women do. Women usually seek romance, and romantic lyrics seem fitting for most of us. haha. I can't explain why. I found the Adiemus song after searching for a song named Adiemus that I sang in choir, then I came upon Rain Dance.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UX__4aHwYzM Adiemus by Karl Jenkins
I am listening to the Velvet Underground song. It reminds me of something I would listen to during the summer. Very calm. I like it. I haven't looked into all of the lyrics much, so I am not in particularly paying attention to them. If I read what they were or knew the lyrics being sang, to me it changes the listening experience.
Social Distortion sounds familiar to me, I am wondering if I have heard it before. It sounds unique to me, I like it more than the Velvet Underground song. Both are good songs in my opinion. Thanks for sharing them with me!
Jan 28 2013: Thanks, Haley. I've been checking out Tool and Perfect Circle, not bad. It sounds like stoner music to me?
I was wondering, when you listened to the Velvet Underground, you were able to listen to the music and not the singer? I can't do this, my ear and brain naturally go to the singer first. How do you do that?
Do you see a connection between your mood and what you listen to? For instance, when happy do you listen to happy music, sad listen to sad, etc.? Or maybe it's the opposite, when happy listen to sad music?
You said you're sometimes angry? What makes you angry? It seems to me most women have a grouchiness to them that can quickly flare into anger. I wonder where that comes from?
You talk quite well about music. Are you planning to have a career, or be a homemaker? Perhaps you could be a music critic, write about music for a living.
If you like, reply at the top. Here's another link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIxgBMNhsKUJan 24 2013: The one quality in music that attracts me the most is honesty, and that transcends all genres. I rarely find this quality amongst the top 20.
As humans we contain a spectrum of emotions and I listen to music of all genres. The genre conventions are more a marketing tool for the record industry.
There is so much amazing music out there. But if I were to recommend one tune at the moment it would be this haunting piece by Port St. Willow:
As I am writing this, it only has 683 views on youtube... What a shame.
Jan 27 2013: Faisel, what signifies to you that a recording is "honest"? Is it just a feeling that you get? What would make a recording "dishonest"?
What is the relationship between the emotion one is feeling, and the music one listens to? For instance, if one is happy, does one listen to happy music? Or might one listen to sad music, to counterbalance one's happiness?
Just out of curiosity, there is a stereotype that Brits are rather conservative, proper, not very demonstrative. I wonder how they've produced so much great rock music, which is rather the opposite?
The Port St. Willow is quite nice. It's interesting, if I had stumbled on this music by myself by accident, I don't believe I would have liked it. But when someone else, such as yourself, provides me the link, I suddenly really like it. Having someone else provide the link opens my mind, I guess, and also makes me more inclined to like it because I know somebody else who does. It looks to me like it has gotten more views, perhaps because you placed the link here. How did you find this music?
I provided a couple of links to songs in my answer to Haley above. But hearing this great music from people like you, I'm not quite as enamored of the stuff I've liked.
One more question: for people who don't like music, why do you think that is?
Jan 24 2013: I really enjoy all genres of music.
- 0
I enjoy listening to Shania Twain...country.....some of her songs have a great beat....and great lyrics.
I also enjoy Adele.....pop.....her voice is so rich and the beat of the songs are contagious.......makes your head bop up and down as you listen.
Simon and Garfunkel's music is also a favorite of mine......it is very relaxing.
And of course, if the song has a science lesson in it......well then, you can't go wrong (one of my kid's favorites):)
Probably the only kind of music that I don't enjoy listening to would be hard rock, and rap....
Jan 27 2013: Thank you, Mary. What in your mind is a "great beat," after all technically we could say a beat is a beat. Is it a particular sound on the drums? Or perhaps the drums are higher volume in the mix? Or......?
All of these are nice. It's cool listening to these great links, I believe it's opening my mind to music I wouldn't have listened to otherwise.
I'll ask you the same question I asked Haley above: do you think there's music that women particularly enjoy, as there supposedly is "chick lit" and "chick flicks." What about a particular song might a woman enjoy more?
You can listen to a couple of songs I like via my response to Haley above. But I tell you, hearing all this great music from you guys, I'm not as crazy about the stuff I've always liked. However, I'll mention one more I like, which is "A Million Miles Away" by the Plimsouls. Look for the official video, possibly from Sony.
Jan 31 2013: To me a great beat is one that makes me tap my fingers and gets me moving....
- +1
Check out what I mean by "Beat".....
Of course, I wish I could dance like that.....but for now I'm happy being a spectator.
I also value the words of a song.... it's message...
Bette Midler's song "From a Distance"......has a powerful message
And "The Rose" has some truths we all need to hear:
I think that different people like different music.....my taste is very diversified.
I suppose the older we get as women, we enjoy calmer kinds of music.......but that may also be true for men.
I however really enjoy singing along to a great tune that makes me happy, regardless of genre.
Music is so important in life. When you teach your little ones to appreciate all kinds of music, I think their minds really expand.
TED has exposed me to some great music:
Nellie McKay....who is just fabulous
Oh, and I must share this last one.....I truly enjoy listening to it while sitting outside enjoying the warmth of the day and sipping a cold drink with my eyes closed.
Feb 10 2013: Thanks, Mary. Funny, I didn't find the beat that enchanting in the dance video. Wonder if beat is in the ear of the beholder?
The David Holt is fantastic.
I haven't listened to Nellie McKay yet. Do me a favor and write something at the top of the conversation, and when I listen to Nellie I'll write back.

Global Virtual TEDxYouthSummit
In April, 2012 nearly 700 TEDx Organizers from around the world gathered for a TEDx Summit in Doha, Qatar. There we:
1. Recognized that our collective was bigger than any one of our separate local events. Is this a global social movement worth spreading?
2. Connected in countless ways.
3. Launched new initiatives.
4. Access personally to TED Staff.
5. Xperienced life-changing ideas.
6. TED event produced just for us.
7. Were infused with TED culture/values/mission of radical openness.
8. Shared our individual challenges.
9. Celebrated our wins with other organizers.
10. Put faces with posts.
Could we organize a Global TEDxYouthSummit to impact TEDxYouth organizers in similar ways?
Many TEDxYouth organizers are either too young to attend a TED event in person or lack resources to travel to one location from all points around the globe.
The idea would be to find a way to connect these digital natives via some sort of virtual hangout. Think Mashable meets Eric Whiteacre's Global virtual choir online live meets DARPA meets Second Life meets personal TV meets Google+hangouts with breakout sessions in smaller groups of 10 meets gamification.
We could view a TEDxYouth simulcast designed for TEDxYouth organizers.
Who could take this on?
What platforms might fit this idea?
When would be an ideal time to convene?
What impact could this have for organizers?
Does this work within TED's overall strategy?
Who beyond TEDxYouth organizers could this benefit?
From the Summit:
TEDxYouth Day:

Are multiple personalities common amongst everyone, or only with the gifted??
What is Multiple Personality?? Its when a Person has a schizophrenic tendency. Possessing a Kaleidoscope of identities / behaviour. But is this common only amongst those susceptible to this random act of 'delusions'.
Its not the same as Dissociative identity disorder
This is only my personal hypothesis, We all have it. Every single being has a boardroom filled with various personalities. Interacting with our Conscious on various levels of awareness. From our Subconscious to Consciousness. Every Personality has its domain and its reign, being educated with our daily life lessons and experiences. Once those lessons become instinctive, it's reaches a level that those Personalities Automatically engages.
These attributes is present during youth, our invisible friends are most common then, we confide in them and have interesting talks with them, this part of our self education. Some innate Personality being more negative and aggressive either through negative visual stimulation or stress relating to aggression:- inflicted on the victim or seen done to someone with deep connection with the Victim.
Every stimulation has its personality, a level of education taught by the constant introduction to that specific but random stimulation. This is done on a Micro cellular level and at Nanosecond speeds. Our internal physiology clock and bio-mechanical functions occur at speeds far superior than the Reality we perceive. Our soul is the trigger mechanism interacting with each personality at speeds that could only be understood and analysed at Femto speed. Learning how the body reacts to various stimulation is remarkable. Our greatest quandary is how our mind interact with such perfection and with each and every single cell's mundane task efficiently. Being alive in this moment with such mechanical precision. consuming so little energy for those task. With highest concentration of energy, being consumed by the brain. For creative thought and Imaginative ingenuity
Closing Statement from Yusuf Mallie
I would like to say that we need to be more intune with our Multiple Personality. Even if you don't believe you have it. You will discover it, when you allow yourself to be open Minded. Meditation is the Best form of Inner discoveries. There is various forms of Meditation. I particular have been introduced to a specific Meditation at a very early age and used It extensively for self healing.
Physical chronic pain, is the most difficult Trauma to overcome. I have been in Pain since my accident in 2010, till now. It has been a Horrendous and horrifying experience. Constant Pain, Numbness in Limbs and extremities. You cannot focus on anything, even Meditation. You need some kind of Pain blocker to concentrate and try and meditate. I had to overdose myself with sleeping tablets. Even high dosage of Pain tablets or Spinal Blocks had no effect. I had to overdose myself with 5 to 6 sleeping tablets to get a good nights rest.
Since I have been, a very difficult sleeper due to the pain. It would take me longer to fall asleep even with an Overdose. It was during these session, I have encountered the various brain states from the Conscious to subconscious. I could feel each one switching off while I was Blogging on my facebook page. It happened several time. It was then I was re-introduced to this notion of multiple personality syndrome. I could interact with heightened consciousness with my subconscious. I was amazed how my mind could relate to old memories and refresh it with New one's concocting new Innovation and inventions.
I have realized that out of my 35 life threatening, horrific accidents and calamities, there is a purpose for me. Lots of people don't see my Creative Vision. With specific meditation I could pinpoint and ascertain the best case scenario for my Inventions, with this ability I clarified my vision and my purpose. Not just to survive or live but to contribute and SHINE!!
I would like to thank all those who have Participated in this Conversation.
May 14 2013: This comment stems from psychiatric and clinical experience in multiple facets. I argue that the concept of the Johari's window is a basic interpretation of anyone having "multiple personalities." Theoretically, each of our "selves" possesses unique characteristics that could be blinded by our whole mental state. For example, our "unknown self" would be unconcious to our "open" and "hidden" selves. Additionally, the environmental aspects of personality changes are to be considered. We all have different characteristics about ourselves that seem to rear in certain situations depending on your comfort level, stress, anxiety, etc.
These concepts get tricky when we overlay them on mental illness. It is hard to place the existence of multiple personalities into one subset of mental illnesses. Both people with schizophrenia and DID exhibit different layers, responses and conceptions about having "multiple personalities." The populations of people who have aspects of these disorders are often very different socioeconmically, educationally, etc. What you describe as a "boardroom of personalities" is a treatment skill for DID to direct patients to have internal communication between personalities to achieve a sense of singularity.
I like the idea that we all could be interacting with multiple aspects of our psyche at lightning fast speeds that our brains can not even comprehend us doing. One of the reasons DID is so controversial is the innate difficulty in differentiating between differing personality characteristics interacting rapidly without comprehension and legitimate disruptions in a patient's mental centeredness.
One further question: how could we use the idea that we all have innate multiple personalities to destigmatize DID and mental illness?
May 14 2013: Hi Caitlin thank you for your wonderful enlightening comment. I have had this conversation with various people for years. Because I was surprised by my own findings how instinctively we can complete a set regime without putting any attention or any effort into set regime until you stagger due to unfamiliar stimulation. I have noticed so many wonderful things, during meditation and calming myself to a level to better understanding of my emotions that fueled by various personalities. I was surprised to find such a kaleidoscope of comprehensive identities with knowledge in specific fields of personal experience. I have tried to better understand this type of structure and I have hypothesized that. Humanity mimic's these structure and administration from this innate structure that is apparent in all of us. Our controlling personality or President personality is the chief our centred identity what we project and communicate with on a casual social medium. That is our souls Reactive and expressive interpolation due to stimulation. Being amongst children we see the greater need to ask question to gain knowledge and better understanding their surroundings. These infant questioning years is fundamental to our greater understanding of life and reality. Children process, educate and create individual identities and those identities with the most information (the type of stimulation we react to the most becomes our character or behaviour) but those identities supersede other identities needs to be educated. Starving those identities seeking and yearning information, they rebel or become dormant depending the aggressive nature of the Individual.
So having the inherent knowledge of all your Life lessons and experience. That is controlled by this administrative board of personalities, but with nanospeed reaction to stimulation we comprehend Reality with the R&D. life is only understood with holistic comprehension of this Board, this is only my descriptive hypothesis,May 14 2013: Read my article:
This is just my hypothesis but DID is caused but the disfranchised of our board of personality. When the individuals mental state has been corrupted due to stress, aggressive tendency and external stimulation, that we cannot delegate or compute to a set Personality. Our confusion of selecting a correct personality for this foreign stimulation leads us into an endless spiral of nothingness (confusion). When this happens the next high ranking or negative identity takes precedence, either with schizophrenic results, that is detrimental to self preservation or social interactions. But this Vice president or second in command is constantly tested and anarchy results due to their low resistance to internal forces. Unlike the Centred identity or President, that is not easily impeached or overthrown, maintaining stability. But the Vice President does not have this strength and virtue. Resulting in DID.
So how do we find a solution, it is not done searching for the President. But providing constructive and productive processing, creating a Johari's window projecting images that centred identity was familiar with. Through a bombardment of captured visual stimulation. Either through virtual reality of old Photo image stimulation. We reverse engineer our infancy tendency to search for solution or familiar interactive simulation. This will bring out the President from its delusional made up virtual existence they are comfortable in.
Thank you for your response!!May 16 2013: So true, adesh being to truthful, society and medical practitioner will make their own assumptions. that is completely unrelated trying to understand the behaviour and character of the individual and evaluating it with their own Medical therapeutic Research, trying to stereotype the truthful person identity. But each and every case is unique and different. Maybe with similarities. But each person is different and gifted. We must not make negative assumptions, we must evaluate that persons outlook is either Positive or Negative. Negative tendency is detrimental to their existence and society as a Whole. They are the fuel for insane asylums. But when you have a positive approach. You not controlled by negative violent tendency or evil intentions.
Those Positive people can contribute so much more to society than average or normal individuals. They shouldn't be evaluated with the Same pen. So being truthful has resulted in Negative attribution and stereotyping which is bad. Because the Truth sets you free. But with repercussion of condemnation and stereotyping. Who wants to be truthful then. It becomes a norm, to have a life filled with lies and deceit, to achieve individual self gain. How horrible the outcome.
With psychotic medication even those positive personality change due to drug intoxication. Making the person even more dangerous as their centred identity have been subdued allowing the negative or evil inside to manifest. Thus confirming Medical Practitioners hypothesis of Schizophrenia. So drugs make violent tendency even more likely. So when it manifest, a higher dosage of medication is prescribed, leaving the patient incapacitated, trying to subdue their violent tendency.

May 16 2013: Carolyn that was my background. I am an only child, even though I was physically and mentally abused by a mother that could not stand my ADD. But with Meditation I released my inner ability. This Meditation was achieved by spiritual interaction with ancient orientals. I could not just hear the voice but I could see them from an early age, they manifested themselves so I could understand my Uniqueness.
Napoleon hill had similar experience but his is a bit far fetch for me for he attributes it to alternate worlds. If I must describe my version of awakening you it would be humourous. But it would really establish my mindset. I chose to stop this Triviality due to social pressure. I chose to be normal for 20 years learning and discovering life. Learning from every calamity every obstacle. My personal horrific accidents, horrific attacks, been involved in traumatic events and been exposed 2 horrific accidents. I have not even touched on the Surface of my traumatic life.
With 10 years collective convalescence I became more in tuned with my uniqueness. This madness and schizophrenia was controlled by my faith and meditation. I have been in extreme violent situation that made me more susceptible 2 violence. But my uniqueness and constant self evaluation has toned down my violent tendency. I used my physical presence as a weapon without the need to act. I have learnt techniques to restrain the devil in me. I feel blessed finding this centre. Faith is very important in the healing of any trauma. Faith must allow you to to expressive and subdue negative tendency. It must provide a positive outlook and bring out the generosity of love. This road of mine is a hard and traumatic. But I feel blessed, it is invaluable to my psyche. So its not just a simple deep meditation but learning from each trauma and meditating on each obstacle, I have achieved this insight of Boardroom of personality. This is my hypothesis because its my experience and my life. I am using as ReferenceMay 15 2013: Not "Interacting with our Conscious on various levels of awareness," but forming the consciousness of the personality.
See Antonio Demasio's book "Self Comes To Mind." It is difficult reading but arguably the best framework for understanding this topic.
See Rita Carter's book "Multiplicity."
Also, Yale psychology professor Paul Bloom wrote an article in 2008 that is still relavent, "First Person Plural"

May 14 2013: hi Carolyn Thank you for your comment. I do appreciate your time and effort to comment. Yes I agree with you, we only fully understand these voice's and personalities when trauma occurs. But after that we pay more attention becoming self aware and hearing this chatter. Getting louder and more topic specific and after that the occurrence is more frequent determining a more conclusive approach.
I have discovered that with Meditation allowing myself to be creative and come up with New creative idea's allowing this interaction with personalities. I am able to dissect and extrapolate the desired information without any practical just Theoretical. But I am very inquisitive and trying to ascertain the authenticity of this hypothesis. I perform Practical investigation and experiment and I am amazed how precise my result verifies my theoretical hypothesis. In this method I have concocted creative, innovative and futuristic designs and Idea's. Coupled with my life lessons and experience. Idea's and designs are unlimited. I feel blessed having this gift of debative scrutiny amongst a boardroom of personalities schooled in my forgotten historical accounts and experiences.
Carolyn you are so correct with Trauma, as introspection and investigative comprehension is more common during that time period. Than any other period. It is a recovery method that allow our brain to put things into perspective. This is so good for self counselling, and self diagnosis. I have ben in 7 MVA and 30 life threatening accidents. I know lotz of people don't believe in their voices, interacting with our subconscious, but they truly deny a more creative and imaginative existence.Only once we achieve this holistic spiritual global perspective, We reach a consciousness that is sustainable and a renewable creative imagination .
Allow yourself the experience of Self discovery. you would be amazed on your Results. Deep meditation while listening to your inner voices.is of utmost importance!!May 20 2013: This is a good discussion. We all face emotional and mental challenges of varying difficulty. And for some, those challenges can be totally overwhelming. We must strive to be compassionate and understanding and positive for the sake of everyone. There is already enough negative thought and negative action in the world. If you look, you can find violence, or record of violence everywhere. And that violence diminishes us all. Anger and violence contribute little to the harmony and peace of the world.
Please be careful. Be thoughtful. And above all, learn to quietly monitor your own thoughts. Meditation does that. And I like this thread because it promotes meditation. We all need to strive daily to achieve a peaceful, and serene manner of existence.May 16 2013: From my humble personal experience and standpoint - there is no such thing as multiple personalities. It's just about thinking a lot. Too much neuroactivity can make some poeple confused as it can lead to too many questions, conflicts and paradoxes, but there are ways out of it - listening and asking the right questions.
To support this, here's some entertaining examples from my long, useless and hurtful, debilitating, akward, embarrassing, non-random, imposed conversations with prejudiced, incompetent therapists (I'm not sure they work anymore, some of them shouldn't):
"Do you see things that others cannot see?"
"Well, I can see you now and we're alone in this office, others don't see you, does that count?"
"Do you know the word 'infrastructure'?
"I'd like a new therapist, please."
"Do you hear voices?"
"I've just heard yours, does that count?"
Best wishes, Yusuf, I'm not sure this helped answer the question. Here'a nother question that just came to my mind - Is being 'gifted' really a 'gift' in some situations?May 16 2013: What is the common Root to all of these multiple personalities?May 16 2013: A simple and a truthful person is a gifted person.
One need not have multiple personalities to be gifted.
Every one of us have a trait and we know it ,it becomes disease when we are removed far away from the reality.May 16 2013: :-) What do you mean by this word Gifted?
adesh saxena
May 16 2013: To me, a simple and a truthful person is a gifted person.May 14 2013: I read that certain theapists are good at accidentally creating mutiple personalities.
- +1
Yusuf Mallie
May 14 2013: Hi George its True!! In order to get to the know the patient. Therapist have to understand the root causes of the DID. So in fact they create and establish communication with Multiple personalities. Doing could be very detrimental to their intentional results, because they establish superiority to the new identity other than the Centred identity. But this new personality, due to their lack of strength are in a very fragile state, due to the bombardment of other personalities seeking recognition. So when they think they have a breakthrough, another personality supersedes the vice president. The only real therapy is gaining the audience with the Original or centred identity and build its confidence to take control.
- +2
This is a lengthy process and require lots of stimulation and interaction. Drugs and medication disrupts the process, to attain positive results. It further pushes the President into a negative stasis mode, Allowing other Personalities to take control and that is bad. Because the longer the President is lost the more difficult it is to regain control and get that personality back again.
Thank you for your response!!

From Computational Biology Group
Being sessile organisms, plants posses various mechanisms to react to different and changing environmental stimuli. One of these mechanisms allows plants to adjust their growth direction to the direction of incoming blue light. This phototropic response involves sensing of light by photoreceptors, here mainly the membrane-associated proteins phot1 and phot2 [1], redirection of the flux of the hormone auxin [2, 3, 4, 5, 6], as well as other downstream signaling events [7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]. Although these key players in phototropism in Arabidopsis thaliana are known, detailed means of interaction remain hidden.
The current view on phototropism can be summarized as follows: phototropism is a blue light- initiated process with its response being fluence rate dependent. For simplicity, here only low fluence rates of maximally 0.1 μmol m-2s -1 are considered—a scenario in which the phototropic response depends mostly on the activity of the photo receptor phot1. Under these fluence conditions, the second receptor of the same family, phot2, can be neglected. In addition, the two cryptochromes cry1 and cry2 have a mild effect on phototropism [1] but are not further considered here.
Open Questions
Considering the fact that during phototropism a lateral auxin gradient with its maximum on the shaded side is formed, the question arises how it is possible that such a gradient is established. Here, it is of special interest why the maximum of the gradient is located on the shaded side since the original blue light stimulus is applied to the opposite side and photo-activation seems to be positively fluence correlated. Still, one can argue that the light absorption of a tissue like a dark grown hypocotyl (with a diameter of about 250μm) hardly absorbs any light but then one would need to question why a gradient is formed at all.
In the course of this project, it is planned to investigate this gradient formation relying on both, experimental techniques as well as computational modeling, collaborating with the groups of Richard Smith and Christian Fankhauser as part of the Plant Growth project from SystemsX.ch.

I used a-36 hot rolled, 3/16" steel. Then 1/2" hot rolled for the Grate. It is rusty but it is 4 years old already. Similar to the Camp ground grills seen at Northern tools. I tiged all of mine for practice.
campfire bbq ?'s
I would use 304 stainless steel, lots more $$$ than carbon steel but will last a long time and will clean easy. Watch your heat, both cooking and welding.

"Only Love" animated short film
Hi Animation Nation,
My name's Lev and I directed a 2d animated short called "Only Love" in 3rd year of SVA (School of Visual Arts) 2008.
After playing the festival circuit, it is now playing on Babelgum as part of their "Animatron" competition.
If you like the film, you can share it with friends and cast a vote by clicking the "thumbs up" button below the screenshot. (you do not need to register to vote, and can vote once per day)
The competition lasts until October 10th, so wish me luck!

ONLY LOVE TRAILER: http://www.goo.gl/NG7A
Only love is a tragicomedy about a malevolent dictator and a rebel who tries to assassinate him.
All the while, the dictator keep having nightmares where the people he tortures and executes come back to haunt him. Though the dictator tries everything in his power to stop him, the rebel keeps coming back for more, until the dictator must make a decision that will get rid of the rebel for good.
I directed, storyboarded, and designed this film, also doing a bit of animation. I got to work with an incredible animator named Ivan Boivin, and as far as the rest of the crew, I have AWN to thank. Using the job postings thing, I was able to get together a wonderful crew to in a short amount of time.
While I live in Brooklyn, the entire crew never saw each other and lived in different parts all around the world, but we communicated with each other by chats and emails, and put files on the FTP server to get the movie made.
The music was done by a very talented composer named Lev (no relation) Zhurbin. Here's his website: http://www.ljova.com
As far as the backgrounds go, my dad and I painted them and scanned them in. The animation was all done in flash.
"Remember this name: Lev Polyakov. The young Russian-American animator, who just graduated from the School of Visual Arts, will rattle your defenses and make you question what you thought you knew - all from a bunch of drawings jumping around"
--Ellis Henican, (NEWSDAY) http://www.newsday.com/columnists/other-columnists/and-the-weird-news-just-keeps-coming-1.1281424
"Only Love," directed by School of Visual Arts student Lev Polyakov, uses a delightful 2-D visual approach to tell the darkly humorous, virtually wordless account of a dictator combating the ghosts of his past misdeeds. Wielding a style reminiscent of Bill Plympton—but packed with far richer metaphor—Polyakov proves the ongoing versatility of the 2-D format and announces his arrival as a fresh talent in the animation scene."
----Eric Kohn, IndieWire http://www.indiewire.com/article/dispatch_from_new_york_woodstock_a_true_american_maverick_among_fests_broad/
"Another standout at the fest was "Only Love", an animated short that breathes new life into 2D animation and is directed with gusto by Lev Polyakov. The film tells the story of a foreign dictator coming to grips with his own mortality and facing the demons of his past. Merging Russian archetypes and surrealist imagery, this jewel highlights a maturity that makes it exceptional."
--InsideReel (on the Palm Beach Film Festival) http://insidereel.wordpress.com/2009/05/18/pbiff-2009/
"Somewhere between Kill Bill and The Animaniacs, "Only Love" finishes with an ambivalent resolution to a 20th-century fairy tale, in which authoritarianism slides into celebrity, and even political prisoners live happily ever after"
Tassled Iron Curtain Factor: 5/5
--The College Hill Independent http://www.theindy.org/?p=577

Re: "Only Love" animated short film
That's inspiring. Thanks for bringing the news about your film to the forums. There's a lot of lively animation there, plus the film festival circuit that it's been on is very impressive. I'm also impressed by the way you assembled your crew through AWN's job board. It's the way of the future, and "Only Love" is a model for this kind of approach to production. Congratulations to you Lev.

Re: "Only Love" animated short film
I'd like to ask what kind of arrangements you made with the artists that you staffed on the production. Did you have a budget from which to pay them? Did you cut them in on the equity of the film? Any information that you can share with us along these lines would be helpful as I know of several people who are looking to set up something along the lines of what you've done.
Daily Z
Re: "Only Love" animated short film
I'm quite excited about this film, Only Love. It is impressive, from all standpoints, both visually and narratively.
I wish you and the film all the success that's possible, Lev!

Saturday afternoon in Winston-Salem,
thrilling to Deacon dominance with 31,000 of your fellow fanatics - life
doesn't get any better than this! Featuring the spectacular work of legendary
stadium photographer Michael Lewis, this amazing print gives you a brilliant
inside view of Groves Stadium on the Wake Forest University campus as the
Demon Deacons tear apart the hapless Liberty Flames on their march through
an unexpected dream season. From the vantage point of the west end of the
north grandstand, you can see it all: the lounging undergrads on Deacon
Hill, the massive press facility atop the south grandstand, the elegant
brick wall surrounding the playing field, the scoreboard, the sideline
entourages, the first-quarter action on the field, and the thousands of
rowdy fans dressed in "Old Gold". As a panoramic inside look at the venerable
stadium, the print is just fantastic - a must for the wall of any true
fan! Whether you are a Wake Forest student, a proud Alumnus, or a fan from
afar who follows ACC Football, this is a rare beauty that deserves a nice
frame and a prominent place at home or office.
