Our interest in Rife
Machine Technology began about 1997 when my prostate began to give
me some problems and later my arthritis also became a problem
in my everyday life.
We learned that by generating frequencies from
your computer and amplifying the frequencies my prostate
problems would go away.
After trying several different things, now I
finally found the answer and all I had to do was spend
5-10 minutes by my computer.
The setup steps are
really very simple and will only take about thirty
minutes to set up my first home system.
You start with a Windows based computer and
install a frequency generator.
Some are free frequency software programs;
however the ones that cost a small fee are the best.
Install the software and make sure that the
software generates square wave frequencies.
You will need a stereo amplifier around 40w or
so. Next,
get two plastic pans that both feet will fit into and a
small amount of salt.
If you have some speaker wire cut about a 5 foot
Now get an RCA stereo wire from most any electronics
store so that you can connect from your computer output
to the amplifier input.
To begin the setup
start by peeling the speaker wire on both ends as if
you are going to connect to a speaker.
Now, connect one end to the speaker output on the
stereo and the other end connect one wire to the first
pan water and the other wire to the other pan of water.
Now connect the RCA to the speaker output on the
computer and the other end to the auxiliary input on the
Put your feet into the
water pans, one foot in each pan.
Turn the stereo unit all the way down.
Start your software and select the desired
Turn the volume control on your computer down to the
Now gradually turn up the volume on the stereo
and there should be a slight tingle that intensifies as
the volume control is turned up. Never allow the
speaker wires to touch each other.
Never allow the
speaker wires to touch each other.
We have used
frequencies for the flu virus, arthritis, candida,
headache, metal clarity, and many other problems
throughout the past 15 years.
We have received
many testimonials regarding frequency therapy in our email box
from people all over the world praising the rife
frequency software.

This is the follow up to the 5 Things We Can Learn From The Threadless Story article that I wrote last month. People enjoyed it so I thought I would follow it up with a brand that one of my readers suggested – Johnny Cupcakes!
1. Hustle, It Pays to Sell Things Out of Your Trunk. This is how Johnny Cupcakes made his money initially, by selling tees out of his trunk as he traveled with his band at the time. More importantly, Mr. Cupcakes hustled a heck of a lot so that he could get his tees into as many hands as possible. More importantly, because of his hustle, he created word-of-mouth which caused people to search him out at different shows. The point is, do whatever you can to initially get your brand recognized and you can do this by making it easy for customers in your demographic to get your stuff (for Johnny Cupcakes, this meant selling at the various shows that his customers were attending).Â
2. People Like Parody But Like Consistency More. Johnny Cupcakes has made a ton of money poking fun at pop culture. This isn't new, parody has been around forever. The trick here is that Johnny Cupcakes heavily incorporated its "bakery" theme into his parodies. Everything about the Johnny Cupcakes brand is consistent with the "bakery" theme, from the designs, to the retail store to the outfits that the workers at the retail stores wear, to the website, to the packaging, and on and on. If you have a theme, push the theme 100%. People dig parody, but they appreciate consistency even more.Â
3. Stay Away From Chain Stores. Mr. Cupcakes entertained the idea of selling his items wholesale and distributing them to various retail outlets and boutiques. In the end, Johnny Cupcakes decided against this. His argument was that people want what they can't have and if they are available at every mall then eventually his brand would just become a fad that would fade quickly. Granted, had he gone the distribution route, he would have seen a quick return, however, it could have costed him longevity. So instead, he decided to invest in opening his own, themed, boutique. This worked out pretty well for Mr. Cupcakes.Â
4. Extreme Pricing Can Be Enticing. Johnny Cupcakes is able to sell his T-shirts for $35+ because of three reasons: 1) he has built a cult-like following with fans that obsess over his tees, 2) he makes quality products, and 3) he treats these products as limited-edition collectibles (and markets them as such) rather than mass produced goods. Because of those three reasons, extreme pricing, i.e. $35 for a T-shirt, works for him. If you are able to replicate the three stated reasons above with whatever it is you sell, then higher than normal or extreme pricing may work.Â
5. Don't Forget Family and Friends. One of the most important, and probably most loyal, thing that Johnny Cupcakes did was hire close family members like his parents and close friends to work for his company. His mom is noted as handling much of the paperwork involving copyrights and trademarking and his dad is noted as helping him build and construct his first retail store. Not only was he able to keep the brand, "in the family", but it also allowed people that were close to him to quit their day jobs and actually do something they loved to do (and earn a nice living doing it).

"Everything started with inaptness, an entirely fortuitous blunder ..." On the eve of the first world war, Anton Hofmiller, an Austro-Hungarian cavalry officer stationed in a sleepy town at the edge of the Empire, is invited to a glamorous party at the home of a rich local landowner. The exhilarated young man asks his host's lovely daughter for a dance, only to discover that sickness has left her painfully crippled. The embarrassed Hofmiller flees, yet on the very next day he attempts to remedy the dreadful faux pas. Subsequently, he becomes entangled in the trap of his own "compassionate gestures", ultimately raising the girl's affection. The masterpiece of the Austrian novelist and essayist Stefan Zweig (1881–1942), based on a piercing description of the psychology of human behaviour, will be adapted for the stage by Daniel Špinar.

California's Employment Development Department says that come mid-August, an improving economy is expected to cost thousands of jobless workers the last 10 weeks of their federal unemployment benefits.
California's economic rebound means the federal government may soon cut-off assistance to the state's long-term unemployed.
"We're now nearing that point where we will no longer qualify for Tier 4 federal extension benefits," says Loree Levy of the state's Employment Development Department .
"The federal government requires that a state has to have an unemployment rate of nine percent or higher through a three month average in order to qualify for Tier 4 federal extension benefits," she says.
California's unemployment rate in May was 8.6 percent and could drop further when the June jobs numbers come out this Friday. The EDD says more than 100,000 jobless Californians would be affected by the loss of benefits. All federal benefit extensions expire in December unless Congress takes action.

Squirrels' Dominguez perfect at plate
Giants prospect goes 4-for-4 with homer, double, two RBIs
By David Heck / Special to MLB.com | April 9, 2012 9:08 PM
The Giants' No. 9 prospect went 4-for-4 with a homer, a double, two RBIs and two runs scored Monday as Double-A Richmond defeated Bowie, 5-4.
Dominguez, who batted .266 with 18 homers between Class A Advanced and Double-A last year, is hitting .556 through five games this season.
"I think that it has a lot to do with going to big league camp," he said. "I got started a bit earlier than normal. Watching those guys work and being able to work with them really helped me out this year."
Dominguez started his day with a single in the first inning that plated Tommy Joseph, then led off the fourth with a solo home run. He followed with a one-out double in the sixth, leaving him a triple shy of the cycle with one more plate appearance guaranteed.
He did get a hit in his fourth and final at-bat, but it wasn't a three-bagger. Instead, he concluded his day with a single to lead off the eighth.
"Our manager [Dave Machemer] had said something about that. He said, 'Hit a triple,' but it's hard to go up looking for a triple," Dominguez said. "The ballpark is not relatively big and I'm not the fastest guy in the world, but it was definitely going through my head."
A third-round selection in 2009, Dominguez wasn't just working on his hitting Monday. Though he has played third base throughout his Minor League career, he made his third start of the year in left field as the organization looks to increase his versatility.
"I'm sure I'll play some third and first as well, but mostly left field is where I'm going to be," Dominguez said.
Taking part in his third full Minor League season, Dominguez said his goals are simple: He aims to play well and to help the team win.
"Like anybody I want to win," he said. "I want to do everything I can in my power to help the team win -- that's definitely one of my first goals. Individually, I want to stay consistent and ... play well every day and play hard for the team every day."

Who owns the land? Only the land knows. We mortals are passersby, and our lives are but a brief moment in the great span of time and space. We are born, we live out our lives, and most of us do the best we can with it, but the wind is forever, and the rivers flow forever to the sea, and all the seasons of the weathers will come and go after we are gone. But the Earth endures, the Earth is eternal" - Earl Hamner

The importance of Dads
Much is said about the relationship between mums and daughters, dads and sons. But little is said about the vital relationship between mothers and sons, fathers and daughters.
My mum taught the creativity, the passion and how to win at Scrabble, but my dad taught other important lessons.
Standing at the 100-metre line dangling a Redskin may not have been a conventional approach, but he sure knew how to make a 5-year-old with a sweet tooth keep their eye on the prize and learn about goals and rewards.
|The writer, as a child, with her father.
In fact, at a breakneck 19 seconds, I broke the under-6's 100-metre record at my local Little Athletics club to get to reach that goal.
He encouraged me and my brothers to achieve our goals, but he never pressured. A year later, he waited patiently as I dog-paddled my first (arduously slow) mile swim at the local club, long after everyone else had departed the pool.
While small moments like those stay with you, so do the greater themes and, for me, those are loyalty, perseverance and the unconditionality of love.
I was never a daddy's girl and he was never under any illusion about who I was. I was a terror of a child in many ways and tore a blazing, destructive trail through my teenage years.
But while I railed, dad rallied, and while I harmed, he was always there to help.
I have touched previously on some of the darkness of those days.
During that time and for a good while after I had the self-destruct button pushed in hard and resented anyone who tried to ease me away from it.
There were many reasons why and although our family was loving and incredibly close there was also deep turbulence. At the same time that I was sick, so was my mum and both of us were in hospital for the better part of two years.
But Dad was a rock.
I know his heart was breaking and it must have been tempting to walk away from the turmoil. But, he stayed, gently holding the threads of our family together.
And not only that, he did it with a steady, loving heart.
I needed him and he was there.
Sadly, not enough dads realise the impact they have on their daughters' lives. One study found only 30 per cent of fathers believed that active involvement in their daughter's life was vital to her health and well being.
This is despite recent findings that the dad's influence is as great, and sometimes greater than the mother's.
Dads, as has been well documented, impact girls' interactions with men later in life.
"In my years of psychology practice, I've met very few women who did not unconsciously or consciously pick a romantic partner based on the characteristics of her father," says clinical psychologist Jennifer Kromberg.
Dads also affect their daughters self esteem, independence and stress levels.
According to a report by the US Department of Health and Human Services: "Children who have an involved father are more likely to be emotionally secure, be confident to explore their surroundings, and, as they grow older, have better social connections."
For my part, my father is now one of my best friends. There is not a soul I respect or love more than my dad.
I am acutely aware that not all dads are like this and there are plenty of women (and men) who have been without a father or at least without a worthy one.
But one thing we should never do is underestimate the importance of dads.

What to watch for
Staying current with fraud prevention
The Canadian Banking Association and American Banking Association offers monthly fraud prevention tips via e-mail. Find out what you can do to protect yourself by signing up today to receive their tip of the month.
Spyware is software that literally spies on you. It tracks your computer usage without your permission. The information can be as simple as the websites you frequently visit, or as complex as everything you type on your computer: your card numbers, account numbers and passwords. In serious cases, identity thieves can gain access to your private accounts through spyware on your computer.
Spyware can be downloaded onto your computer without your knowledge. Beware of installing software that offers free email virus protection or Internet acceleration, as these are typical lures for spyware installation. Be sure to run basic checks on software before downloading or installing.
Prevent a Spyware download
- Read customer reviews of software before downloading it.
- Never install a program unless you are certain it is from a reputable website/publisher.
- Always run a virus scan on your download (if it is not automatic) before you run it.
Remove Spyware from your computer
Removing spyware is fairly straightforward—sometimes as simple as uninstalling the malicious program. There are also a number of security tools available to help you identify spyware, stop the installation of it on your PC, and/or remove it.
A Personal Firewall can also provide a helpful defense against remote installation of spyware by hackers.
Phishing Scams
Email Scams (Phishing)
Phishing is an attempt to obtain your confidential information by impersonating a trusted source through email communication.
These emails are very good at "phishing" for information. Watch our presentation "Don't Take the Bait" to protect yourself from this type of fraud.
How Phishing Scams Work
You receive an unsolicited email that informs you of the following:
- Update to personal information is required
- Contest won
- Client cards or accounts have been suspended
- Application for products approved
- Account has expired
- Some other false premise
From there, you are asked to open an attachment/link, or to reply to a phony email address. If an external link/attachment is used, the user is taken to a malicious site that requests confidential personal information (e.g., Bank Card Numbers/User ID, Account Numbers, PINs, Credit Card Numbers, Social Insurance Numbers, and/or Passwords). Never send personal identification numbers or other personal confidential information by regular email, as it is not a secure method of contact.
Protect yourself from Phishing emails
No legitimate company will ever ask you to supply sensitive information via email. Nor will they send you an unsolicited email asking you to login through a link or attachment.
A phishing email can be:
- Designed to mimic the look and feel of a genuine company.
- Poorly written English or gibberish text.
- Sent through unsolicited emails, containing links or attachments.
- The web address will often have the @ symbol or a numeric address (e.g., 123.456.1.2). The address may also include the word, phrase or text "bmo" to make it appear authentic.
- The "reply-to" field has a completely unrelated address compared to the "from"" field.
- The web address points to a site that is not related to bmo.com.
Identify Theft
Identity Theft is the criminal use of your personal information to commit fraud. Identity theft crimes are lumped into two broad categories: account takeover and application fraud.
Account takeover: Your bank account/credit card is taken over.
Application fraud: Your stolen identity is used to open new accounts in your name.
Protecting your personal information and monitoring your account activity and credit history regularly is the only way to guard against identity theft.
Many banks have automatic checks on accounts and credit cards that can potentially detect suspicious behaviour. Fraud detection systems trigger elements associated with your spending habits, location of spending and timing.
Identity Theft for Travellers
Being on vacation or otherwise travelling abroad takes you away from traditional security layers. Be sure to consider security risks associated with travelling.
Typical causes of identity theft while travelling:
- Theft of electronic equipment (e.g., laptops, PDAs, cell phones).
- Dumpster diving for discarded receipts/invoices/statements that include your personal information.
- Shoulder surfing lets strangers discover your PIN while you use an ATM, or input your login information on a laptop/PDA in public.
Protect yourself while travelling:
- Minimize the amount of confidential or personal data you carry with you. You can only lose as much as you take with you.
- Employ all physical and technical means to secure the data you carry with you and be sure to use strong passwords.
I am not receiving Email, Email notifications any longer from BMO what should I do?
To ensure delivery of Emails be sure to follow these best practices:
- Login to your BMO customer profile and update your Email address with your primary Email address (the one you most frequently use)
- Once an initial Email is established, add the BMO Email address to your Email address book so that BMO is a trusted sender for your provider

It is thrilling to see that Connecticut Light & Power is feeling pressure from energy efficiency, conservation and renewable energy sources such as rooftop solar [Aug. 30, Page 1, "CL&P Seeks Higher Fee"]. This constructive energy progress is the result of our democratic freedoms that benefit from wise state and federal subsidies, intelligent understanding of climate change, and the moral and economic choices available to Connecticut citizens today.
Instead of fighting these important alternatives, utilities should be embracing these critical ideas and find creative ways to cover costs.

BRIDGEPORT, CT (January 5, 2010) – The Sacred Heart University women's ice hockey team surrendered four goals in the final period on their way to a 7-5 defeat at the hands of Lake Forest at the Wonderland of Ice Tuesday afternoon. The Pioneers fell to 4-10-0 on the season, while the Foresters, ranked 10th in Division III, improved to 10-1-2.
Sophomore Kim Herring got LFC off on the right foot with her 19th goal of the season in just the second minute of play. SHU tied the game as sophomore Jamie Mey (Middletown, RI) skated down the right wing and around a Forester defender to win the puck and center to classmate Tara Kent (Glenview, IL) for the score.
The Pioneers would rattle off three more goals before taking a 4-3 lead into the second intermission. Sophomore Caitlin Gottwald (Reading, MA), assisted by Nicole Palazzo (Rocky Hill, CT) and Kristina Hankins (Lexington, MA), scored a power play goal on a slap shot from the right side before the end of the first. In the second, sophomore Lauren Towers (West Hartford, CT) and Hankins each added a goal of their own.
Lake Forest cut into the Sacred Heart lead by the end of the second period with goals from junior Lynn Switaj and freshman Denise Perez. The Foresters overtook the Pioneers with goals from Herring and classmate Jessica Dare in the first five minutes of the final period.
Dare and Perez would add on more goal apiece to hold of SHU, despite a goal from Mey.
Junior Brittany Lemke entered the game midway through the second period and made 15 saves, while allowing one goal, en route to earning the win. Starter Alyssa Wintermute made 10 saves between in the pipes for LFC. In the cage, for the Pioneers freshman Emily Siira (Cedarburg, WI) allowed six goals and made 28 saves.
Sacred Heart returns to action Thursday at Southern Maine at 4:00 pm.

Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) Minister Stephen Shen (沈世宏) holds the highest position in the government as far as the nation's environmental matters are concerned. Last week, during a Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Central Standing Committee meeting, Shen lambasted environmental groups and celebrity activists, saying that they were "politically affiliated." As a member of one of those environmental groups, I feel it is important to point out that Shen's comments here are further proof that Taiwan's democracy has regressed to the conservative ways of the Martial Law era, and that the state apparatus is once again serving the interests of the capitalists and big business.
First, for Shen, as a ministerial-level government official, to express such views within an internal meeting of a political party not only goes against ministerial propriety and professional bounds, it is also contemptuous of the constitutionally provided rights of assembly and association of citizens of this country. Taiwan is a democracy governed according to the rule of law. Unless I am very much mistaken, its citizens enjoy the constitutional right to assemble and debate public policy pursuant to their own interests. Shen is criticizing others from within a political organization, but surely that shows that he himself is "affiliated" — or central — to a certain political organization.
Second, Shen was being disingenuous when he said that environmental groups were being inconsistent in their criticisms of the Taitung Miramar Resort Village project and the Yoho Beach Resort project in Pingtung County. Both of these projects are of environmental-protection concern and the Taiwan Environmental Protection Union (台灣環保聯盟) has questioned the local governments' role, pointing out where they have been unreasonable in the manner they have dealt with the projects' environmental impact assessments to the detriment of the interests of the public and the nation as a whole.
Also, why is it up to the EPA minister to have the final say on which project is legal and which illegal? Given that this country is supposed to be run according to the rule of law, how can he contend that members of the public seeking to address environmental disputes through the courts have "a specific standpoint" or that they are "opposing central government"? This kind of attitude, where a politician equates himself with the state, is truly distressing.
Third, Shen's choice of words when talking of the environmental activists — "affiliated" and "certain elements" — without giving specific names, reminds one of how the military strongman and former premier Hau Pei-tsun (郝柏村) embarked on a smear campaign of environmental activists — calling them "environmental thugs" — back in the 1990s, when the KMT government attempted to put a stop to protests targeting environmental issues.
At the time, Hau and his colleagues in the Cabinet used the government's control over the media to misrepresent residents and protesters, who were simply expressing their pent-up dissatisfaction and anger over environmental pollution and destruction, as greedy and cynical thugs trying to get their hands on state compensation. Many years later, when we look back at the era over which Hau presided, we can clearly see how the powers-that-be, in order to secure their own interests and those of the capitalists, thought nothing of sacrificing Taiwan's environment.

CONCLUSIONS: Neonatal screening with the red reflex is not sufficient to detect intraocular disease. A normal neonatal red reflex does no exclude intraocular disease. It has a specificity of nearly 90%, but its sensitivity is only 56%. Most retinal haemorrhages are undiagnosed as they cannot be detected with a red reflex.

concerns about sharing my time.
Here's what's been going on in my head in the last week.
Lately, I have been spending a lot of time just staring at Bennett, watching him play. Watching him learn. I've been giving him more hugs, kisses & cuddles than I ever have. I can not get enough of my little boy. Seriously, I'm obsessed with him.
Okay so where am I going with this...oh yah...
The other night, I was laying in bed thinking about what life will be like with 2 children. How will things change? How will I handle it? How will Bennett handle it? Will my Husband adapt okay?
These questions are so intense for me. I get overwhelmed thinking about it. I have sort of settled into a pretty great life and routine with Bennett during the days. I have an absolute blast with him, I love giving all of my time & attention to him.
I'm worried.
I know that once this new baby arrives, that will all change. I will have a newborn nursing for 30-45 minutes every two hours.. needing my attention to rock him and swaddle him. And feed him some more. I will be exhausted during the days because I will have been up all night with the baby.
Where does that leave Bennett?? He's such a high energy kid, and although he's getting more independent every day, he still relies on me for SO much. I guess I'm very afraid of disappointing him. Can a 2 y/o be disappointed in their Mother?? I don't know. But I'm already feeling guilty about having to share my time. I am already feeling so badly that Bennett will feel a little less attention.
My Husband says I spoil B too much anyway. But I don't necessarily think I do. I think I just treat him as though he's an only child, because for now - he is. Ugh. Okay this is starting to sound like I'm not excited about baby Fitz. That is NOT true. I really really am. But I'm just stressing out a little about having to share my time between him and Bennett. Will Bennett understand? Will he resent the new baby? Will he resent me???? I'm hoping that he transitions smoothly and quickly to having a little brother but I can't help but worry that he'll just be jealous. I am guessing that's normal for a certain period of time. Right?
I'm sure these are all of these feelings are pretty natural to have when you're expecting your 2nd child. I just can't stop thinking and feeling badly about the way Bennett will feel when I can't give him ALL of me anymore. I just love him so much, and I want him to always know that.
Now I'm rambling so I will stop.
I think I'm just looking for reassurance that I CAN share my time, attention and love between my children and that they both feel it equally.

Aw. I think all of your concerns are 100% expected and okay. I think about these things, and we aren't even expecting baby #2 yet. It's a huge change, and because you've never dealt with it before, you anticipate what is to come and try to picture it. It'll all work out just fine! :)
- February 15, 2012 at 1:45 PM
I was worried about that too. I think every mother is. I was so lucky, in that Kendall was drawn to her sister from day 1. From the minute she woke up she wanted to see, touch, love her sister. While you are going to be giving him less attention, you are also giving him a sibling to love, which is priceless. I can't begin to tell you how your heart will melt the first time you see them together, the first time Bennett tells his little brother he loves him, or when he calls him his best friend. I really think the best gift I ever gave Kendall was her little sister, and vice versa.
- February 15, 2012 at 2:04 PM
Totally normal concerns! I freaked before having my second baby boy (just 5 1/2 months ago!) and about how my almost 2 year old would respond. It's definitely an adjustment, but my big guy LOVES his baby brother. True, he's not a fan of sharing his toys with him, and he definitely wants our attention all to himself at times, but overall I just KNOW they're going to be best friends.
A sibling is a gift. Bennett will never remember feeling like he was losing your attention, but he will remember all of the amazing memories that you will have together as a family and that he will have with his brother.
Use baby nap times and set aside special time with Bennett. You will feel a new normal immediately. It takes some adjusting, but overall it's just wonderful! Soon you'll be in awe of your two beautiful boys! Just more to love :)

I felt the same way with my little ones ~ my 2nd and my 3rd are 26 months apart. {There is 11 and a half years in between my first born and my second ~ and come to think of it, I had the same concerns at that time as well!} As long as you realize that there is going to be an adjustment period, you will be fine. It all flies by so quickly......
My two little ones are the best of friends ~ they always have been. And you will be surprised at how easily Bennett will adapt to sharing you AND your husband. Make it a point to spend quality time alone with him and he won't feel left out. Once your little guys gets here, all of these fears will be long forgotten! :)

i felt this way too when i was pregnant with my daughter. my kids are 14 months apart. i had the same concerns as you. but when my daughter was born everything sort of just fell into place and my heart grew bigger enough to love both of them equally. i kept my son involved with my daily routines with the new baby so that he wouldnt feel left out, i had him help me during diaper changes, bath time and would even let him hold his baby sister. now they are best friends.
you will be an awesome mom to both of your boys!
i've been a follower for a while and i think this is my very first comment, ever.
- February 15, 2012 at 2:35 PM
I think the fact that you care about it so much means you are going to be okay and give these two little boys lots and lots of love .......
Oh and I have a 2 1/2 year old - and I am totally obsessed with her! I mean, how can you NOT just stare at them and touch their little toes, and kiss them and cuddle them all the time! Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.

I know exactly what you are feeling. I remember feeling this oh, around 6 months ago. Terrified that I wouldn't be able to share my time. And I was OBSESSED with my first, how would I ever love this baby as much?? But my answer? You just do. It just works. And it comes easier than you may think! I started pushing Jessi to be more independant (which wasn't hard for her because she already is) toward the end of my pregnancy and this helped a ton. Instead of doing everything for her and with her, I encouraged her to be a big girl and do it herself. I found that by encouraging her to be "big" it made her feel special and made the adjustment time easier. You will absolutely fall in love with your second, and honestly I think you fall in love with them MORE because you know what's coming. :) You're going to do GREAT Mama! And I'm here for you if you ever need anything! Wish I could be there physically to help!

Hello, Mandy! I just joined your blog. What cute pictures you have. I'm not a mom, but I have nieces and nephews, and can testifiy what a huge blessing they are. I'm sure your son (over time anyway...) will really love having a little brother. God bless!

- Olivia said...
You can and you WILL, somehow it all works out!! I think just being aware of both your children and making little efforts here and there to spend quality time with each of them makes everyone happy. Honestly, my girls are glued to each other's hips and really love to be together which makes it a lot easier. I think that if you show them love, they will feel loved, it is that simple. These are totally normal feelings, I thought about it alot during my second pregnancy. But your heart just grows even bigger and the love you have to share does too!

Your love isn't a finite amount that will now be divided in half; you have plenty for Bennett, and you have as-yet-untapped reserves waiting for Fitz. Bennett will also learn to treasure his baby brother, even if it takes him 20 years to realize it. Siblings who grow up together tend to have more in common with each other than with any other human being they'll encounter. You're giving Bennett a gift.
- February 15, 2012 at 3:06 PM
When you posted the other post, I thought, "I wonder if she'll post about handling and loving 2". It's SOO normal that you are feeling this! I felt this way when we had #2, and even more when we had #3. No we have 5 and I know that my heart has plenty of love and while I sometimes feel like the day doesnt have enough hours in it, their needs are met and they know I love them and they each get one on one time daily. You CAN do this!! Two is so much fun (and so challenging too) and SOO worth it.

First off....You two are Gorgeous!
Second of all, I know the feelings you're feeling. I too felt the same way when I was pregnant with my second. I was worried about my daughter and how she would adapt to having a little brother. But you know what, once your baby is here it all falls into place. And Yes you'll be tired but some how you find the energy and strength for both your babies, husband and house duties. That's why we are called supermoms because somehow we manage to handle it all. And trust me, it's all worth it. Which i'm sure you've already realized it is. Hang in there, enjoy your time with just you and Bennett.
- February 15, 2012 at 3:19 PM
I think most mom's have these questions, concerns, etc when they're going from one to two. Here's my insite as a mom to soon to be 6...it all just works out. You don't know how this little one will nurse, snuggle, or sleep. You'll remember just how much newborns sleep (hopefully) and will have plenty of time to still spend one on one with Bennett. You not only can do it, you will and you'll wonder how your life was ever full with only Bennett!!
Love for a child doesn't lesson, but instead it's like your heart just grows bigger, God gives you everything you need for love and provisions!!!

i went through this when i was pregnant with owen. it does take time to get into a new routine when baby is born, but it will happen. it didn't take long for my oldest to get use to having a baby brother either. hang in there!! <3
- February 15, 2012 at 5:11 PM
Oh, Mandy, I can't really tell you how it works out, but it does and I bet it won't be as life changing as you are expecting. Bennett likely will experience some jealousy but hopefully it will be short lived. And, remember at such a young age, he'll likely never even remember this time in his life. You are a great Momma and I pray it will all go as smoothly as possible for you. Blessings my dear!

Trust me...it will all be okay. Before you know it will be odd to think that you only had one child. It does seem weird to think about right now though. I think everyone goes through this. I know for me that each time I had a new baby I went through a day or two of feeling odd about having this new person join us. But pretty quickly it started to feel natural to have another child.

I think everyone worries about it, and I don't think it stops at 2, either. Even with #3 being almost 9 months old now, I still worry about it! But they all seem to be doing fine, and not fighting each other for who gets the most attention, so I take it as the biggest reassurance that I'm doing OK. You'll figure out what works best for all of you, and you will all be happy =)

- April McGrew said...
I have absolutely NO advice, but I wanted to let you know that you are not alone! I'm not even pregnant with #2, but I have such an intense and special relationship with my little fireball that I worry about her adjustment if/when we have another one. Will she think I love her less? Will we still have our special moments?
Again, I have no wisdom, but you are not alone. I think that since you are worrying about it, it means you really truly care and that no matter what, you will make sure he still knows how much you love him. That makes you an amazing mother.
- February 15, 2012 at 5:50 PM
we just had our 2nd about 3 months and our oldest turn 2, 2 weeks after he was born. i laid awake crying in bed night after night towards the end of my pregnancy-worrying about the exact same things. i'm not going to lie, i'm still figuring it all out but it has been SO much better than i ever expected it to be. there are still some nights when i look back on the day and feel like i didn't give one child hardly any attention. there are still some days when i find myself missing life with just 1 child-not that i would ever give our sweet baby boy back but i just miss having so much time to pour into just that 1 child. it's an emotional transition but i think it gets easier every week. our oldest has never shown jealousy towards the baby but i do feel like she sometimes acts out just to get attention that she is lacking. all in all, i think you will be pleasantly surprised and so relieved...and yes, you are totally normal for what you are feeling!
- February 15, 2012 at 6:18 PM
- Andrea said...
Thing is - you will have a totally different relationship with baby Fitz. And while having a sibling will change your relationship with Bennett a little, you will still have the same bond. Not saying that you won't have those moments of "omg, what did I do?!" but trust me when I say you will have so many more moments of "I love having two."
- February 15, 2012 at 6:19 PM
I think your fears are totally normal but I know you are going o be an amazing mommy to both your sons!

Girl, I'm feeling the same thing. I get worried about many things about the baby on the way...time, attention, energy, money...but then I remember I just have to turn it all over to the Lord. Send it up, ask Him for guidance, and trust Him. He says that children are a gift and a reward (Psalm 127) and he tells us to be fruitful...I don't think He'd tell us all those things if He didn't think it was best for us and know we could handle it with Him by our side. Based on what the Bible says, I think you, your husband, and Bennett (and Fitz!) are going to be just fine. :)
- February 15, 2012 at 6:33 PM
Hello! (I'm new to your lovely blog)
I felt just as you do when I was pregnant with my second but life with two littles is wonderful. I sneak in special "mommy" time for each kiddo and we have "mommy/daddy" dates at least once a month. So that way each child is getting one on one time with us. My kiddos are 3 and 2 but they feel really special when we have our dates. A few times a week instead of having story time together at bedtime we have solo reading time with them so I'm snuggled with one reading and daddy is with the other. Having to kids can be tough sometimes because you worry if each is getting enough love and attention but as long as your children feel loved and you do your best you will be a WONDERFUL momma of two. :)
I hope that helps. :)

I was thinking about this today too, not sure why! I felt almost sick to my stomach at the thought that I won't possibly be able to love another child with the intensity that I love Dane. I mean, I've only got so much to give, right? But everyone says that it's possible for your love to double, so I have to trust that is true. Yes, it will be a huge adjustment for B, but I think he is going to be a splendid older brother :-)

hi there~ i'm a new subscriber! i love your blog and can totally relate to so much of what you're going through! i just had my #2 five months ago and i felt like reading your concerns were exactly what i was worried about at that time. it'll be tough but slowly as you all fall into a rhythm and schedule you'll find that life was truly meant to be with your two little loves. and it really is possible to love your 2nd one just as much as your first~ sometimes it'll be the same or sometimes a different kind of love but you'll have so much more love to give to both of them. of course there will always be guilty feelings of sharing time and all that~ but just know that you're doing everything out of love and no mom is ever perfect. =)

It will be hard. Like really hard. I have a 3 1/2 yr old and a now 11 month old. I feel like I let my eldest down daily. The thing is, it's an adjustment. For EVERYone. Yet, you will all get through it and no one will be hurt forever.
The way that you love Bennet won't change, the way you show it won't, but the amount of time will. Honestly, the ONLY thing that helps me not break into tears about how I can't do it all, is the fact that momma's have been doing THIS for centuries and obviously, children adjust. This isn't what you were hoping for I fear, but if anything it's honest.
Don't stress, your children will feel loved and all the rest (the housework) can WAIT.
- February 15, 2012 at 10:04 PM
I feel the exact same way right now! Jackson requires all of my attention at all times and I love giving it to him, but I'm worried about how he will react when the new baby comes. It may be a hard transition, but I guess we just have to remember that we are giving our sons the best gift ever...a sibling! My siblings are my best friends. Once the new baby can play with Bennett, I'm sure they will be best buddies and love spending time together. He won't resent you and pretty soon, I'm sure he won't even be able to remember life without little Fitz!

i literally started a post exactly like this on this topic tonight! i was writing parker's 21-month update & went into this long paragraph about how i'm realizing he's not gonna be my only baby much longer & we only have a little bit of time left with just the two of us, blah blah blah. finally i cut out the paragraph & saved it for a post all on it's own.
long story short, i have no advice but i FEEL ya. i'm like 20 weeks behind you & i feel ya. i guess it'll just have to work out, right??
- February 15, 2012 at 11:52 PM
I am feeling the same way right now! I have a 2 year old and am due in April. I almost feel guilty in a way that her world is going to change so much and she doesn't have any control over it. But again having a younger sibling can be so much fun! I've gotten her a 'big sister back pack' to help carry baby stuff to make her feel more included. Ive heard of throwing a big sister or brother party for them!

I am hoping that Bennett will just be drawn to his little brother, too. But for some reason I don't see that happening. He's never really been around newborns so I think he might be a little scared at first, ha ha. We'll see!! And sounds like Kendall is a wonderful big sister!

Thanks Carolyn! I am definitely just soaking up all this time I have with Bennett right now... and definitely hoping that we'll just kind of fall into a new routine when the babe comes.

I do remember how much newborns sleep, and for that, I'm grateful! :) I will definitely use that time to spend one-on-one with Bennett. And maybe I'll take a nap or two if I can get Bennett down at the same time. He he. And yes, I believe that my heart has so much more room to grow! I can't wait. Thanks for your thoughtful comment!

Ha ha I'm sure you are right. I know that in a year, I won't even remember what life was like with just one child. It will be an adventure to get settled, but I'm hoping it's a good one!

Aren't all of these questions kind of daunting to think about?? Everyone says not to worry, that things will "just fall into place"... and I'm trying to have that mindset. It's just hard to think about my first born feeling left out at all, so I will definitely have to work overtime to make sure he's included in everything! Thank you for taking the time to comment!

- mandy @ asortafairytale said...
Looks like we are on very similar timelines with our little ones!! I feel guilty for sure that Bennett won't be able to understand what's going on for the first little while. Just hoping he'll adjust quickly. And like you said, having a younger sibling is so much fun, so I'm really looking forward to that. And getting the backpack for her to help carry baby stuff is a really good idea!!

Can't wait to read your post about it!! I have been needing to feel like I'm not alone in feeling this way!

BTW, I'm super excited you're having another boy, too! Boys rock! And yes, I'm hoping that once the new baby can start to interact with B a little more, they will become the best of friends. I'm sure your boys will, too!!

Hi Jenny!! Thanks for stopping by and commenting! It's so nice to know that others can relate so well. I enjoy reading people's stories about how things have just sort of worked out. I know it will take a little time, but it's really comforting to have so much encouragement! I really appreciate it!

We were just talking about this the other day huh?? And you're right, every one does say that your heart can just continue to grow and grow every day! So I'm sure that I will love this new baby just as much as Bennett.

Hi Blanca, nice to meet you! The mommy/daddy dates are such a great idea. I was just telling my husband and I really want to make time to do this with my older child at first so he knows he's not forgotten and we can keep that wonderful bond we have. Thank you for your sweet comment!

Defintiely looking forward to having two kids!! And I am kind of excited to see how how my relationship with the new baby will differ than my relationship with Bennett. They will both be equally as special, of course. But you're right - they will be different.

You're right, it is a huge emotional transition. And sometimes I feel like it will be harder on me than it will be on Bennett. Ha ha. But thanks so much for your kind words of encouragement!! Means so much.

I think it's only natural to have those kinds of worries. I mean, Bennett has been your only child for a while an now you're adding another baby to the mix. He will probably have some trouble adjusting at first, but I think he will slowly come to understand what's going on. A friend of mine had TWINS her second pregnancy and they spent a LOT of time during the last part of her pregnancy and the earliest months of the babies lives doing extra little things for their big brother. They really made him part of the baby's birth (bought him big brother gifts for every day they were in the hospital, took him on a special big brother lunch right after the babies were born, etc). I think that Bennet knows that you love him and that won't change. :) He's going to love baby Fitz as much as you guys! And you are a great mom, so don't doubt it! :)
- February 16, 2012 at 9:16 AM
Mandy, I feel like the more I get into mommy blogs, the more I realize you are NOT the only one with the same sentiments. It's only natural to hit the point of worrying over splitting your time. That is one of my biggest fears with having another little one. J is also very high energy and I don't see that changing. I think a mom's ability to split her time is one of that natural things that will jut happen. No worries, I have a feeling you, Bennett and Fitz will be just fine!
- February 16, 2012 at 9:26 AM
All these feelings are normal! I still have times where I "feel bad" for Jonathan because Chloe is in her learning stages and we get excited and reward her for doing all the "first". All the things he has already done but doesn't always understand that we already shared that with him. You will adjust and learn how to make time for both. I think something that works for us is letting Jonathan be involved. So they feel important. I was always saying how he had to be good and teach her things. He really enjoyed her crawling and then walking and now they talk haha. Your a great mom and you will do just fine!

I remember my Mom talking about this when she was pregnant with me (okay well I remember her memory, I did not hear it from the womb ;) You'll find a new routine, and it will be awesome for B. Just look at how great it was to have a sibling. Don't you worry dear.

I believe we are wearing a pair of the exact same shoes, lady and I am SO SO glad I found your blog. I am absolutely a new reader. I'm currently 22 weeks pregnant with our second baby (another BOY!) and currently have an amazing, hilarious, high-energy 19 month old ruling the roost. Your post basically brought me to near tears because I could have written it myself. I know these things will work themselves out and at times I find reassurance in knowing that Carter will (hopefully) NEVER remember this time in his life- but the thought of disappointing? Nearly tears me to itty bitty pieces. It truly breaks my heart. Until then, like you, I'll be snapping away.. and putting down the camera for some extra love and snuggles because I know come June.. things will change. Hugs, Mama!
- February 16, 2012 at 10:42 AM
You're right, these are all natural fears/worries to have. I have 3 little ones but when we had our second I felt the exact same way. Our second was also our second son and I was also concerned about having another boy because I already had my boy and no one else could replace him. But once Baby Fitz is here you will settle back into a routine and Bennett won't be left in the dust. It is going to be challenging at first and Bennett will probably have times when he needs you more and you just can't be there or vice versa and yes that will suck for the both of you. That comes along with having multiple children. I was an only child so I had an extra hard time realizing the checks and balances between siblings but my husband has 3 siblings so he's helped me know what is normal or not as our kids grow. My first 2 are almost 4 years apart so that helped, my older son kind of adjusted really well because he could understand this baby needed me more at the time. My younger ones are 19 months apart and that was the real struggle at first (plus my baby girl was extremely colicky so that left the older 2 with even less of me) but now my youngest is 15 months and we are all happy (most of the time) and I just try to make special time for each of them and we have family time all together. It's not all going to fall into place just perfectly (though if it does for you I will be extremely jealous lol) and it will take work/time but once baby gets older and he and Bennett can play together, all these feelings will seem so far away because you will be just in awe over how sweet your boys are together. Even the wrestlingand arguing my boys do together is just priceless, I love watching them interact and I bet you will feel the same with your boys! All these feeling you're having are just signs you are a great momma! Take care!

Oh Mandy, I read this post and it reminded me SO much of how I felt exactly when I was pregnant with my second boy. I worried and fretted and truth be told, when the new baby arrives, you don't have much time to worry about it.
I will say that I remember being a bit depressed when we all came home and we were a new family of four. I would watch Landon act out a bit to get my attention and it made me feel sad for him. But I just tried to include him as much as possible. I got him a step stool to use near the diaper changer. So when we changed Brigham's diaper I always had him "help" me by grabbing a diaper. Other little things like that. Even turning the button to turn on the baby swing! It helps to include them so that you're not always pushing them away.
I will honestly say that it's hard but those feelings don't last forever. Every once in awhile I will actually feel bad for my youngest! Because he's the one that never had any real "alone" time with us. He has never been the only child and so I worry a bit more about him (second child syndrome) than I do about Landon.

I had these EXACT feelings when I was pregnant with our #2. Our 1st was only 7 months when we found out and I had MAJOR guilt. I just felt like I was robbing him of his 'baby' time with me. Turns out things worked out well and no harm was done :) Now I'm pregnant with #3 and I'm freaking out again! My boys take up all of my time and I'm just not sure how I'll fit another one in the mix...I think as Mothers we just happen to worry about it but in the end it always works out :)
- February 17, 2012 at 1:38 AM
I have the same feeling and I know it is because D pretty much is the center of our family universe. We adore her and love spending our quality time just with her. There is nothing quite like only having one child and getting that quality time with them. I've decided that after the next little one is born that I will want to try and get a quick store trip or walk in with just D and me while daddy watches baby so that she and I can still get some alone moments together. I feel yah 100%. I can't wait to hear about what the experience of transitioning from 1 to 2 is for you as it will def. help prep me!
- February 17, 2012 at 4:25 AM
That all sounds really tough. I don't have any children but I can say that when I adopted my second dog there years ago, I had total post-puppy depression and I felt bad about my time being taken from my older dog. Soon I just realized that it was all ok and there was enough of me to go around.
p.s. sorry if you hate when dog mamas refer to human mamas concerns in the same way :).

Hi, Mandy! New reader, but I've been following you for awhile on IG. Love your pictures and your sweet little guy and mine share a birthday! I often have these same feelings about getting pregnant with #2 and how I'll share my time between Braden, the baby, my husband....and keeping up with a household! I suppose we'll just take it in stride and take it day by day, it'll be a learning process for all of us! Good luck!

I am late to the comment game on this one but thought I should comment anyway. I am a mother of two and know just how you are feeling now. I had James when Megan was 6. I was so worried about her having been a only child for so long that her adjustment would be hard on her not to mention me having to relearn the baby stuff again...or so I thought. The one thing that hit me after his arrival is that our family felt so perfect and blessed with his arrival. Was I tired? yes...Did I notice? not so much. Everything adjusted and balanced itself out super naturally. It became the new way of life. I became a better mother to Megan because I knew the attention she got was less than before it needed to count. Good luck with you new addition and pat yourself on the back for being a fantastic mother...if you weren't worried and thinking of these things you wouldn't be the Momma that you are now. :o)

I have been wanting to comment on this post for awhile now and just cleared out my inbox and remembered. I had the exact same concerns when I was pregnant with #2. Then he was here and #1 fell into his roll as a big brother SO WELL! I now can't even imagine what life was like with just one sweet boy to love on. Having two while harder is that much more fun and exciting. I love that they have each other to play with and with time grow old together. As silly as it sounds my hubby and I won't be around forever so it's nice to know they will always have each other. Hang on for a fun and crazy ride!!

Archaeologists in Texas thought they'd made an important discovery in the 1990s, when they unearthed a trove of stone tools dating back 13,000 years, revealing traces of the oldest widespread culture on the continent.
But then, years later, they made an even more powerful find in the same place — another layer of artifacts that were older still.
About a half-hour north of Austin and a meter deep in water-logged silty clay, researchers have uncovered evidence of human occupation dating back as much as 16,700 years, including fragments of human teeth and more than 90 stone tools.
Keep digging boys. You'll never know what you'll find!

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler today thanked federal and state officials for helping to fund the trunk sewer project that will allow development to begin in the 52-square mile Stevens Creek Basin. The Mayor was joined by U.S. Senator Ben Nelson and Karl Brooks, Region 7 Administrator for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) near the construction site east of N. 84th St. and Havelock Avenue this afternoon.
Ground was broken in December 2005 for phase one of the project, which installed pipe from the Northeast Wastewater Treatment Facility on N. 70th St. to near North 84th and Fletcher streets. Phase two is now about 85 percent completed and is expected to be finished by the end of the year. It extends the pipe southeast just across the Murdock Trail. The total trunk line project will be built in nine phases as development occurs. It includes the installation of 15 miles of pipe at an estimated cost of about $53 million.
The cost of the current phase of the project is about $5 million. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is providing $1.25 million in grant funds and another $1.25 million in zero-interest loans. The CleanWater State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) is providing $2.5 million in loans. This federal and state investment is saving the City wastewater system an estimated $140,000 a year for 20 years.
"EPA across the country has invested $6 billion in stimulus funds for core projects that meet both economic and environmental needs," Brooks said. "That investment has already started to create and save thousands of jobs, along with delivering real environmental and health benefits."
"Recovery and reinvestment funds helped America avoid a depression and are pulling us out of a recession by putting people to work on needed public works projects like this that will help ensure the Good Life continues in Nebraska for years to come," Senator Nelson said.
Beutler said Stevens Creek had long been a barrier to the City's eastward growth, but the area now represents the largest development opportunity in the City's history. "Our communities can't grow without infrastructure," he said. "But it often takes a partnership among local, state and federal leaders to make these important projects happen. And these are tax dollars well spent, creating new jobs and a new opportunities for the future."

Houser joins CSC football program

- Published in Sports

CHADRON – Nine athletes have joined the Chadron State College football program at the start of the second semester and will participate in spring practice beginning in March, head coach Jay Long said.
Five of the newcomers were recruited to help replace four seniors who were among the five players who saw most of the action in the defensive line last fall, when the Eagles went 8-3 and were ranked No. 18 in the final American Football Coaches Association Division II poll.
"We graduated some great players in our defensive front and knew we needed some help there," Long said. "That is our greatest need as we look forward to the 2013 season. We found some players that we think can help us right away."
Long said the Eagles also have gained a couple of promising linebackers and are glad to have two western Nebraska natives join the team.
The latter two are Jonathan Houser, a speedster from Hay Springs, and Zach Smith, an all-around athlete from Gering. Houser is expected to be a running back or wide receiver and Smith will be a candidate for playing time in the defensive secondary.
Houser rushed 189 times for 1,297 yards and scored 21 touchdowns while playing at Creek Valley High School at Chappell as a junior in 2009. He played at Hay Springs his senior year, when he carried 65 times for 698 yards, an average of 10.7 yards, and participated in 70 tackles.
Houser also placed in the 100 meters at the State Track Meet and was a member of the district meet's winning 400 and 1600-meter relay teams when he was a senior at Hay Springs in 2011.
Smith starred in football and basketball at Gering High School and also was an outstanding American Legion baseball player. As a senior in the fall of 2011, he caught 29 passes for 380 yards, participated in 45 tackles and led the Panhandle's 11-man players with five interceptions.
He was enrolled at Western Nebraska Community College at Scottsbluff last fall.
Four of the defensive line recruits are from California community colleges.
They are Sean Acuna and Roy Duenas-Sanchez, both of whom played at East Los Angeles College the past two years; Brandon Blinn from Palomar Community College and Jon Barkley from Santa Monica College. All will be juniors this fall.
Acuna and Duenas-Sanchez helped East Los Angeles have back-to-back winning seasons. Acuna is 6-foot, 285 pounds and a native of Hacienda Heights, Calif., while Duenas-Sanchez is 6-1, 330 and is a Los Angeles native.
Blinn is 6-3, 245, is originally from Everett, Wash., and played in that state's high school all-star game.
Barkley, who is 6-3, 265, was an all-conference selection at Santa Monica College when it won the conference championship in 2011.
The other defensive line candidate is Jake Weber, a 6-2, 255-pound graduate of Rapid City Central High School, where he was a three-time all-conference choice and earned all-state honors as a senior in 2011. He redshirted at Augustana University in Sioux Falls last fall and has four years of eligibility remaining.
One of the new linebackers, Benj Vigil of Akron, Colo., was a highly-regarded prospect on the Chadron State teams in 2009 and 2010, but left school before he got much playing time. He was selected by the Rocky Mountain News as Colorado's Class A Player of the Year after helping Akron to a 13-0 season his senior year in 2008.
The other linebacker is Hank Strauss, a native of Aztec, N.M., who earned all-conference honors at Cabrillo College at Aptos, Calif., last fall.

Volunteer Music Production in South Africa
- Placement locations: Cape Town
- Role: Intern in a professional music studio
- Accommodation: Host family
- Price: From
- What's included? Food, accommodation, transfers to and from our specified airport, transport to and from work where required, insurance, personal webpage, induction and orientation, 24/7 support.
- What's not included? Flights, visa costs, spending money
- Length of placement: From 1 week
- Start dates: Flexible
South Africa is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world and its music and dance have an unmistakable flavour. Whether you are on a gap year or a career break, you have the opportunity to explore the local music industry in South Africa through working with local artists and helping them professionally produce and market their music.
Interning on the Music Production Project in South Africa
As an intern on the Music Project, you will work in a modern recording studio, learning everything from production and musical engineering to artist promotion and management.
This project covers everything a professional music studio does, including:
- Learning production techniques
- Producing beats and melodies
- Learning about the work of a musical engineer on a broad range of equipment
- Understanding the processes behind recording, editing and mastering an artist's work
- Getting involved with artist discovery, recording, promotion and management
- Organising local gigs and concerts
- Promoting local artists
This project gives aspiring musicians and producers the chance to work with a producer and his team in a brand new, state-of-the-art studio in Cape Town. As part of a team, you will learn and practise every aspect of working in a studio, and you will soon get to know the music scene in Cape Town. Through structured and hands-on learning, you will learn how to set up and modify a range of equipment with the studio engineer, how to use different types of recording and editing software to record various artists, and how to produce your own beats and melodies professionally.
The studio features acoustic material that has been assembled to ensure optimal acoustic properties for recording and producing.
Equipment includes:
- A full range of studio recording software including Logic, Cubase, Ableton, FL Studio (Fruityloops), and Pro Tools
- Roland V Drum Kit
- Roland Fantom G8 Keyboard (one of only two in the southern hemisphere)
- Shure SM58 Dynamic Microphone
- Shure S55 Limited Edition (1/5000 globally, one of two in Africa) Ribbon Condenser Microphone
- Rode NT1A Condenser Microphone
- Rode K2 Condenser external control multi polarity Microphone
- Behringer XR18 Audio interface and Digital Mixer
- Akai M40 Midi Keyboard
- Silent, sound-proof live room
- Headphones and internal sound adjustment
- Multiple effects generators
- Multiple DAWs
- A range of guitars
Volunteers will also help the studio's label discover local artists through attending gigs, writing reviews and interviewing band members. Some of these artists may then be chosen to come in and record, and you will get a chance to participate in the recording process, as well as any additional tasks such as photoshoots and branding. There may even be an opportunity to help in the process of shooting an artist's music video, though this will depend on the timing of your internship.
This project is recommended on a four week programme, but the internship is available for as little as two weeks up to six months. We recommend four weeks so that volunteers get to experience the full range of our work, but we'll go through everything we can with you if you can't spare that amount of time. We also offer this internship for groups (of five or more).
At the end of your internship you will receive a certificate and a letter of recommendation from the studio's producer, which you can then use to further your career back home.
Volunteering abroad on the Music Production project
Our studio is based in the residential suburb of Plumstead in Cape Town. There is an array of shops and restaurants, nature reserves and bike parks nearby. It is also very easy to get to Cape Town city centre, go for a hike up Table Mountain or enjoy a spot of surfing at False Bay. The studio producer may also take you on tours to some music-related sites around Cape Town, including the History of Music Museum, the South African College of Music or even the prestigious International School of the Arts.
Interns will stay with a welcoming host family a few minutes away from the studio, usually with other interns that are on the project. The studio's working hours are generally from 10am to 5pm, but this depends on the type of work going on at the time. You will need to work later if there is a band in the studio or if you are going to a gig or concert. Overall, volunteers on this Music Production internship will get a true sense of what it is like to work in a professional studio.
You can join the Music Production project in South Africa for one, two or three weeks if you don't have time to join us for four weeks or more. This project has been selected by our local colleagues as being suitable for short term volunteering for both the host community and the volunteer Although you will gain a valuable cultural insight and work within the local community please be aware that you may not be able to make the same impact as someone volunteering for a longer period.
