Need Help!

Okay, so for the past several weeks- the reason why I haven't posted anything on this blog- I've been looking for the composer, Mikhail Starokadomsky. He's written one of the most beautiful clarinet solos entitled, Two Pieces: At the Brook and Intermezzo. He has also written piano, oboe, and some operas to my knowledge. The thing is, I can't find anything on the poor guy. I know when he was born and when he died, some of the music that he has composed, and how to pronounce his name. I was wondering, if you anyone knows anything about Mikhail Starokadomsky, and if you do please tell me. You can comment it on the WritersSolution blog, or you can e-mail me, Alexa, at alxgates@gmail.com

Thank you! Your information will be invaluable! I don't know where else to look.

It doesn't matter, reading almost always brightens your mood, or just relaxes you a little bit. These are just a few titles that are amazing books.

The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane By Katherine Howe

"Okay, so we’ve all heard of the Salem Witch Trials, right? Everyone knows that in 1692 there was a witch panic in Salem, Massachusetts where about twenty or so innocent people were hanged. These people, obviously were going to be hanged for being considered a witch. Katherine Howe’s question was, could there have been any actual witches hanged during this time. I know the question is silly, but after reading her book, it makes me almost believe that actual witches were hanged.
Now, lets fast forward to the year 1991 in Cambridge Massachusetts. I know, these two time periods are centuries apart, but Katherine Howe magically puts them together. So, let’s meet Harvard Graduate student, Connie Goodwin, her specialty is in colonial history. She has been advanced to candicy and is writing her doctoral dissertation..."

Dreamland By: Sarah Dessen

"Have you ever loved someone so much it hurt? Caitlin O’Karen can tell you all about it. Ever since she met Rogerson there was something compelling, different, and something her sister, Cass, had never done.

Cass ran away on Caitlin’s birthday and her mom was constantly worried about her. Caitlin always felt as though she lived in her sister’s shadow. So, for her Junior year of high school, now that Cass was gone, she wanted to do everything she could to be different from Cass. She even joined the Cheer leading team with her friend, Rina. Then, she met Rogerson. As I stated above, he was the kind of guy Cass had never dated just by looking at him..."

Land of a Hundred Wonders By Lesley Kagen

"What would you do if you were in a car accident where both of your parents died and you banged your head very badly? Gibby McGraw of Cray Ridge, Kentucky wants to be a reporter, it’s one of the few things she remembers doing after her accident. The only problem is, Gibby is NQR, or Not Quite Right by her Grampa’s standards. She forgets everything, and doesn’t know what is appropriate or not.
She could just be saying, “Hi” to someone at the Top O’ the Mornin’ Diner where she works with her Grampa, and then call them a name. A name that if it was said on TV would have to be bleeped out. Being so forgetful, Gibby forgets where she is and what she is doing. Gibby’s Grampa takes care of her."

Perfect Practice Means Perfect Playing

Practicing your instrument is fun, isn't it? I know it is a daunting task to learn a new piece of music, scales, or musical exercise. But when you nail it, it feels good. The only problem is, how do you practice correctly? Sure you can practice for hours a day and get no where on a song. Or you think you get somewhere, but you just don't retain the knowledge. Your problem probably is, you're not practicing correctly. My father once told me, "My football coach always told me, if you don't practice perfectly, you won't play perfectly." I know he's talking about football, but the same concept holds true for instrumentalists. It doesn't matter if you play a woodwind, brass, strings or percussion instrument, practicing perfectly will help you get better quicker.

A simple tip for better practicing is playing your scales. Maybe, make it a point to do two or three before you start your practicing through the day. If you don't know a scale, learn it. Then start to gradually speed up your tempo to help with speed when you are practicing faster songs.

Start off a song slower than written. I know, that's boring. The thing is, if you speed through a song you will miss accidentals, key changes, certain rhythms, and trills/grace notes. If you go slow and gradually speed the tempo, you will not miss those things, and you'll retain more knowledge of the piece of music.

Eight Things Every Woodwind Player Should Know

There are so many different instruments out there. For example, you have the clarinet, saxophone, and flute all in the wood wind family. What makes them a woodwind instrument is that you use wood to either make them or play them. The only thing is, how can you play better? Make a better sound out of your horn?

Just for a couple examples. Keep your instrument clean. Want to know why? When you play spit, microscopic pieces of reed, and dirt/skin cells from your fingers get into your horn. Disgusting, right? Well, if you keep your horn clean, it tends to sound better because there isn't anything stopping the air flow, and it makes your instrument last longer. Doesn't that sound great? Also, give your instrument at least one check up a year. When you bring your instrument into the repair shop, they align, oil, and fix any problems in your instrument. This will make your instrument easier to play and sometimes even sound better. To read more tips on how to make your instrument and playing sound better please click here to read Eight Things Every Woodwind Player Should Know.

Universal Health Care: Not as Good as it Sounds

Everyone wants health care, which is why this bill is so important. According to the News, millions of people cannot afford health care because of the high prices. My family is fairly conservative, so I don't believe in government hand outs, such as 'free health care,' so I took a look at the bill. I mean, if the bill was written to where it would actually help people, why not let it pass? Well, I was definitely wrong. When reading the bill the one thing I thought was, the government is now going to try and control American's health. They're going to give ACORN and other programs many pay offs. A doctor cannot own or invest in health care, so a person who has no idea about medicine and doctoring will run it. Doesn't that make you feel safe?

As Americans, I hope we can stop the government control of our health care. I mean, where would they stop? There has to be other answers to the AMERICANS who cannot afford health care who WANT it. Thank you!

From past experience with my brother and sister I know that an expensive photography studio doesn't always mean a better one. Then I came up with some guidelines on how to chose which photography studio is right for you and myself. To read the guidelines please click here

Sleep Paralysis: What is it?

Have you ever not been able to move when you are asleep? Do you think that someone is choking you when you are sleeping? You may have something called Sleep Paralysis. Not to worry if you have sleep paralysis, there is nothing life threatening about this disease.

Symptoms of Sleep Paralysis are: According to Stanford University, one of the symptoms of sleep paralysis consist of not being able to move your body
when you are sleeping or when waking up. Another thing you might notice if you have sleep paralysis is that you feel as though someone is choking you and you are unable to move and try to stop them. Or the person is lying on top of you so you cannot move. You struggle but nothing happens the person holding you down just gets stronger. Well, that’s how I feel when I get sleep paralysis.

Do You Have an Ultra-Useful Household Item? Here Are Mine!

Part of a writer’s job is to gauge the market and determine what sells and what doesn’t. Quite often writers have to make the sacrifice of putting aside topics they love writing about in favour of those that do well on the printed or online market.

Because of career training and work experience, I feel more comfortable and qualified to write about relationships and life-coaching type articles. Nevertheless, some of my most successful articles published on Triond are not those that address what makes life easier, but what makes living easier in the home.

These first four (below) hit a spot on the internet. I think what makes the series so popular is not just the title, but the fact that they describe hilarious scenarios. They outline cheap, useful and unknown uses for various household items, but as a change from the norm where advice and tips are generally painstakingly listed, this amusing but handy series show someone walking around the home with a jar of Vaseline or salt, a bottle of baby oil, and a pack of toothpicks taking care of the many tasks around the house that particular item could be used for - all in one go. The articles in the series are:

Top Ten (Legal) Things to do if you Find Yourself Holding a Jar of Vaseline

Top Ten (Legal) Things to do if you Find Yourself Holding a Jar of Salt

Top Ten (Legal) Things to do if you Find Yourself Left Holding a Bottle of baby oil

Top Ten (Legal) Things to do if you Find Yourself Holding a Pack of toothpicks

As you can see, the titles are very catchy indeed, and do describe perfectly what the articles are all about.

On a lesser note, I published How To Clean Pet Feces, Yucky Spills and Other Mucky Things. This has always performed well, but the views came in constant dribbles rather than a mighty force of a Caribbean wave. I suppose this shows that more concise pieces do better than just general household-tips ones.

It was then I realised that ‘Why duct tape Became the Love of My Life’ had to be written. I’ve always had a good selection of duct tape at home because I think out of everything else, this item has been most useful to me through the years.

What’s your favourite ultra useful household item?

Bands with a Unique Sound

Okay, so who doesn't love music? I love music, probably a little too much. You hear about many different bands on a daily basis. Bands such as, Nickleback, The Fray, Paramore, Boys like Girls, and many others. Do you hear bands such as Flogging Molly or Making April? Did you know that Making April released a new album earlier this year? Probably not unless you have heard about them before. Unfortunately, I haven't heard their new album as of yet, but my friend has and says it's amazing.

Soil Erosion

Last Year I had to write a paper and do a presentation on soil erosion. The subject, which you probably figured out at first glance, isn't all that exciting to talk about. The thing is, the more I read on the subject the more I got scared about it.

For example, did you know that because of rain fall soil erodes along the coast taking away land mass? Or that it takes almost forever for new soil to form?

Overview of Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism

For a school project not that long ago, we had to look up Islam, Christianity and another religion for an essay. I chose Hinduism as my choice religion because I thought that it would be fun to learn about. On thing I figured out about religions from that unit was all religions are very similar. Think about it, all religions teach don't hurt your neighbors, treat others how you would like to be treated, and morals. Another thing I learned from that unit is that the church can corrupt people. A good example is the radical Islamic who drove an airplane into the Twin Towers on 9/11. They thought their religion was better than everyone else's, and probably in their mind thought that they were saving us. Except that is a stretch.

Learning about the different religions gives you more insight into their followers every day life. Did you know that in Hinduism that if you were bad in one life, in your next you will stricken with poverty? Like I said, different. But that is how the religion teaches morals in Hinduism- the better you are in one life, in the next life you will a better off person. I think that it is interesting.

The paper I wrote on the this topic is fairly long and informative. It goes through just an overview of each of these religions with a comparing and contrasting section of them. I hope you enjoy it!

Let's Make Myspace Safer!!

Who hasn't heard of Myspace? Not all that long ago, Myspace was on the news about how your children shouldn't have a Myspace account. Of course, I disagree with what the news shows say. I mean, is staying connected to your friends when they go off to college, family members, or colleagues. Myspace isn't a bad thing, it's just a select few who make parents cringe at the idea of their children having a Myspace account.

To me, you shouldn't ban your children from using Myspace, you should teach them how to keep themselves safer from Internet Predators, and you know what kind of people I'm talking about.

Humorous Tale About A Writer's Ambition

Many years ago a young man decided that he wanted to be a writer but he wasn’t sure what kind of stuff he really wanted to write. He just wanted to be totally dynamic and cover everything in his work.

So, he studied and wrote and wrote some more trying to perfect his art. This went on for many years. When asked what he really wanted to achieve as a writer he often repeated that he wanted to write things that everyone in the world would read and words that people would react to in a really emotional way.

He just wanted his words to affect them deep down, and make them scream, and howl in pain and deep emotion.

After struggling as a writer and having to take other jobs to get by, he found what he really wanted.

He now works for Microsoft as an error message writer.

Written English Part 1: The apostrophe
Written English Part 2: The Comma and the Full Stop
Part 3: Semi colon and hyphen
Part 4: the dash, question mark and exclamation mark
Part 5: the inverted commas, brackets and capitalization

This second set of articles deals with getting your online content in shape. It discusses the value of adding friends to your network, and the art of sharp writing which attracts readers and keeps them hooked on your work. Issues of getting the right content to the right people, and how to keep topped-up on a good supply of ideas, are also tackled.
Skill and technique are examined, and several ways in which we can become the sought-after web writer that everyone wants to read. This is a definitive writing series for anyone serious about building a career in online writing.

What Language Do You Speak?

Author: Louie Jerome

If you ask any American what language they speak in their country, in most cases the reply will be that it's English. However, American English sometimes has a completely different vocabulary to British English.

Many Americanisms have entered the language on this side of the Atlantic, but they are a long way from being established. It's quite strange how some Americanisms have been accepted but others have completely failed to make any impression on British English.

On our side of the pond we say: apartment, ball park, buddy, cab and cookie. However, we don't say: pacifier, realtor, popsicle, duplex and gurney. (A British English spell checker objects to these words.)

The way words are used is also different sometimes. For example if you ask an American how they are, you will get the answer, 'I'm good!' In English English we say, 'I'm well.'

Among the young in Britain, there are those who regard American English as 'cool', but their use of this alien (to us Brits) tongue causes annoyance amongst those who don't.

For more information on this and examples of how British English varies from region to region, you might find these articles useful.

I cannot wait until she adds more links for our reading as she always manages to keep my attention totally focused. She and her family live in Canada. Be sure to check out her pictures of chipmunks. They get really up close and personal.

If you have been feeling particularly under the weather lately or need to relax and unwind brew up one of the concoctions she offers in : http://www.healthmad.com/Alternative/Blast-Away-Holiday-Stress-with-Herbal-Teas.406123

She wrote this around the holidays, but it doesn't have to be a holiday to be a stressful time in our lives, does it?

"Different stop smoking methods work for different people, but the bottom line
is that you are the only person who can make the decision about when, how, or
even if you will quit smoking. If you'd like to quit, but are daunted by the
prospect, there are quite a few methods from which to choose."
