How Do You Manage Fibromyalgia?

1. Exercise Delivers


The hardest part of it is feeling like you can actually exercise. I trained for a year to walk a half-marathon. I never [did] make it the 13.1 miles, but I did walk 9.2 miles before finally having to stop. Luckily I was in front of a fire station. It was a monumental task. Here's how I approached it:

First, I started small—10 to 15 minutes a day, three times a week. That was enough, because at that point, I was in so much pain, so fatigued and just not fit in any way, shape or form. Then I slowly added more time after a couple weeks. Gradually I was able to walk two miles, four times a week.

My energy level was up even though I was still fatigued. I was able to do so much more with more ease. The most important thing is to listen to your body. Don't push too hard because it can make it that much harder.

Depression.

Can Alcohol Trigger Depression?
New study shows possible connection

Researchers have long sought to discover a depression "on" switch. Now, a new study suggests alcohol use may play a role.

Another recent study suggests avoiding drinking may help you avoid future depression as well.

Often it's difficult to tell if alcohol abuse leads to depression or if depression leads to self-medicating alcohol use.

Either way, this and other research seem to suggest that alcohol and depression don't mix.

The Secret of the Hook!

I get asked all the time, "How do I write a good hook?"
My answer always causes a stir, because it's so simple.

Here's the big secret: Find the 'kernel' of what you want
to say. Then say it with a short punchie statement. There's
your hook. (*I wish it was more complicated.)
If you picture a real fish hook, you'll see that it has a
pointed end which easily goes into the fish!

Now think of all the ways you could say something important.
Many of those ways are "dull"... but if you think long
enough, you'll come up with a "pointed" way of saying it...
a stickie way.

*Truthfully, after you get some experience, the hook will
normally be what shows up in your mind first! It will be
what lights your fire and makes you even want to write a
song in the first place.
Hooks are SHORT enough to be easily remembered and
"heavy" enough to make an emotional or spiritual impact.
That's why most hooks become the song's title.
You're taking a meaningful truth and "boiling it down" to a
single impactful phrase.

Let's just do some examples right now: (off the top of my head)

The subject is...
AN OLD DEAD RELATIONSHIP that still gives you a tinge
of pain--
You delve into the ironic feeling that you're glad it's over
but it still hurts that it's over...now let's boil the idea down
to single phrase. (I'll actually do several ideas.)

HOOK: You Threw Me Away

HOOK: You're Gone, But You Won't Leave

HOOK: Could You Send the Rest of Me?

HOOK: On Good Days (I forget about you)

Here's another example...
Subject:
FATHER'S DAY and you miss your dad--

He's across the country and you won't get to be there.
You've never been able to express much openly with your
dad, but you know you love him and he loves you.
HOOK: Like Father Like Son

HOOK: I Never Knew How to Say it

HOOK: I Hope This Finds You (Well) (song would be a letter)

HOOK: I'll Always Remember (list some memories with your dad)


WHAT'S MISSING

OK, those are a couple of examples of possible hooks. But
do you see that there's something missing?
That's right...the rest of the song! That's not a joke...

The fact is, the lines LEADING UP TO a hook are what
really make the difference in whether the hook really "hooks."
There are some clever ways to SET UP a hook to make
it explode onto your listener's emotions.
I cover a bunch of those in my book, Strong Songwriting.
(If you own it, read chapter 4 again --"Setting the Hook!")

I'll try to cover some of those "setups" in future emails too,
so stay tuned.

Remember, coming up with a good hook is about finding a single
phrase that IMPACTS the emotions like a blow to the chest.

I hope that helps. I encourage you to go try brainstorming hooks
right now! And don't forget to write 'em down when they come
to you.

Album MATO Francis Landong sudah dalam 70% siap

Perkembangan pembikinan Album MATO Francis Landong sudah dalam 70% siap termasuk lah dubbing beberapa vocalnya yang mana Francis masih mencuba untuk lebih berhati hati dalam lontaran suara suaranya memandangkan kebanyakan lagu lagunya kali ini agak keras tetapi lembut atau pun yang pastinya kita katakan lain daripada album albumnya sebelum ini.
Menurutnya dalam albumnya kali ini musiknya sangat Special dengan susunan music yang di anggapnya cukup professional dan Francis berharap para peminatnya akan terus menerima perubahan albumnya kali ini.
Apapun lagu lagu sumayau dan lagu lagu kebiasan Francis selalu bawa dalam album albumnya sebelum ini TETAP ada katanya.
Mungkin yang cukup ketara kelainan hanya kerana music yang jarang kita dengar dalam album album Francis terdahulu.
Francis juga menyenaraikan beberapa lagu yang di pikirkan nya menjadi Hit dalam albumnya kali ini, walaupun pada ketika ini Penerbitnya masih ingin menukar beberapa lagu jika ada composer yang akan menampilkan lagu yang terbaik sehingga hujung bulan March ini.
Selain daripada lagu Mato yang di ciptanya sendiri lagu Timpu, Rock ememem, Hali hali dan Sian sian doho serta Ama akan menjadi siulan para pendengar bila album ini di pasaran katanya. Kenyataan ini di persetujui oleh Penerbitnya sdra Mark yang mana beliau menambah bahawa lagu Mandak ku ti juga akan menjadi Hit dalam album MATO Francis Landong ini.
Sementara itu beberapa lagu telah pun dan sedang di buat di Bamboo sound studio untuk album ini dan yang pasti Victor Paulus ( Tito) tidak pernah mengeciwakan para peminatnya dan Francis dalam albumnya
Untuk setekat ini lagu Sinding ya di Yaki, Pointopot tupus ku dika dan Sian sian doho di bawa kelolaan musik Bamboo sound studio Tambunan.

Francis dan penerbitnya Mark masih percaya Album ini akan di pasaran selewat lewatnya
Hujung April 2009.

Study: Sodium, potassium ratio affects heart health

A team of researchers has found that consuming twice as much potassium as sodium may halve a person's risk of dying from cardiovascular disease. In the new study, investigators found that study participants who had consumed the highest levels of potassium and the lowest levels of sodium were 50 percent less likely to die of cardiovascular disease than those who ate the most sodium and the least potassium. Scientists say eating less sodium is still the best way to protect your heart, but this is the first study to show that upping your intake of potassium can at least soften the blow of a high-sodium diet.

How do you get thick and smooth background vocals?

Here is a question recently put to Audio Masterclass...

"How do you get background vocals to sound like Def Leppard?. That is thick and smooth as it is on Hysteria engineered by Nigel Green, mixed by Mike Shipley and produced by Mutt Lange. How did they do it and how would one go about it if you wanted the same today?"

One thing is for sure, Mutt Lange wouldn't want to reveal the tricks of his trade.

However, there isn't really a great deal of trickery involved. Only a little.

Firstly, it is clear from documentary videos that Mutt Lange performs many of the background vocals himself.

He doesn't appear to have an outstanding voice or vocal talent. But he sings very precisely in both tuning and timing.

So this is the first requirement - background vocalists who can sing precisely in tune and in time.

Let's suppose that you only have one person to perform all of the background vocals.

You could achieve a thick sound through multi-layered harmonies. But even if there is just a single background vocal line, it is possible to make it thick, rich and smooth.

If you record exactly the same line four times, then the result will be instantly thicker.

If your system has the ability to vary the speed at which it records, you could set the speed just a little slower on two takes - say 2% and 4%, and correspondingly faster on the other two takes.

Then when you play back the result at the correct speed, the harmonics of each recording will be shifted slightly differently. This is an 'instant thickener' and always works well.

Another method is to pitch-shift the tracks slightly. Pitch shift is measured in cents, where one cent is one-hundredth of a semitone.

If you apply shifts of -4, -8, +4 and +8 cents to the four tracks, then once again the result will be instant thickness. I prefer the previous technique, but this works fine.

Some delay plug-ins allow you to modulate the delay time. So the delay time varies cyclically. And because of this, so does the pitch.

If you process each track through a delay of say 100 milliseconds, with a different speed and amount of modulation on each track, then the result will have excellent thickness.

You can compensate for the delay by moving the tracks 100 milliseconds earlier in time.

Generally if you have more than one singer, then the result will be thicker already. But you can still apply all of the above techniques.

If you work out four background vocal lines, and you record each one four times according to the guidelines given above, you will have a 16-voice chorus that will be thick and smooth indeed.

Will Singing Lessons Ruin My Style?

One of your most recent emails contained quite a few questions. Vocal coach Sophie Shear took the time to write some pointed answers to questions such as: Can anyone learn to sing? Will singing lessons ruin my personal style? Can I learn to sing with the rough tone of a rock singer without losing my voice? You'll definitely want to read her answers written from the perspective of one of Brett Manning's finest certified coaches... Read More and Comment >>

Depression

Does TV Cause Depression?

New study shows possible link

A new study suggests teens who view too much television are more likely to become depressed as adults.

It's unclear whether TV might have the same effect on adults. So, if you're watching the tube too much, try tuning out and tackling chores, talking to a friend or keeping busy in other ways instead.

Our New Musician.(Sessionist).

Introducing New Musician.

Have a good laugh - "Worry Husband"

4 husbands were sitting at the waiting room in a hospital while waiting for their wives to give birth.Then a nurse came out and told to the first Daddy, "Congratulation, you got twins!". "Ohh.. maybe its a coincident" said the daddy. "I am working with thePetronas Twin Towers".Then another nurse came out and told to the second Daddy, "Congratulation! you have triplets!" "Wooow!, this is a coincident too" said the second daddy. ? "I am workingfor 3M Corporation"Another nurse came out and told the third Da ddy, ? "Congratulation! You got 4 babies," "Hmmmmm! Maybe this is also a coincident". "I am working at Four SeasonHotel!"
While, the fourth Daddy-to-be were in uncontrolled worry. All the 3 daddies asked him,why do you seem so worry??"He answered, "I am working with Seven-Eleven!"

Will Loud music damage your hearing?

Imagine this situation - you are in a group of people, all talking together in a social setting. But you can't contribute to the conversation because you can't really make out properly what people are saying.
Your hearing WILL be damaged by exposure to loud sound. Both level and duration of exposure are factors. By far the most common source of loud sound is the pair of earpieces connected to your personal stereo. Going to clubs where loud music is played night after night is also a risk. Factory noise can be a problem, but the factory where you work should offer you ear protection. Make sure you use it.
Hearing damage, by the way, is permanent. Tiny hair cells in the inner ear are destroyed and they never grow back.
As a sound engineer or recording engineer, your ears are vital to your career. But you risk damaging your hearing every day you work. Possibly the worst situation is when you are a trainee engineer working in the studio with someone who is already partially deaf. They might want to work at levels that are painful for you. But you are not in a position to ask them to turn it down. Not if you want to stay in the room.
The moral is to expose yourself to loud sound for as short a duration as possible. If you work all day with high levels in the studio, then don't listen to any more loud music at home.
To close, here is one of the standard jokes of the recording industry...
What do you call a recording engineer who over the course of many years in the studio has become totally deaf?
A producer!

New Musician of Symphony and Bamboo.

Well we're announcing
that a new musician are on trail with Symphony and Bamboo for their next productions.
Officers of both Company is tight lipted once this blogger ask more about the musician but we are understand that the musician is also arranging music at one Top Studio Production situated in neighbouring country Indonesia.
It is also understood that the Bamboo chief sound engineer (Victor Paulus) will be the person who responsible for the trail and to make final dicision on it.

Well for now thats the news we get.

How Does it Feel?

How does it feel to hear your own song on the radio?
I've been asked that in lots of interviews.
The first time it happened to me, I was in my home state (Louisiana)on Interstate 10 between Lake Charles and Lafayette. My littleToyota's radio was churning out tunes, when suddenly MY voicecame out of the speakers.
I felt the hair stand up on the back of my neck. My realitybent out of shape for a moment. This was long before the days of Myspace, so mentally, I just didn't have a place to put this event. MY SONG WAS BEING PLAYED ON THE RADIO!
When I realized that it was actually happening, I unconsciouslypulled over to wipe the tears out of my eyes so I wouldn't wreck. My only regret was that I was in the car alone at the time and had no one to high five with! I told my family later and we all jumped and danced around in the kitchen like a bunchof idiots.
IF YOU THINK THAT'S SOMETHING
That was certainly a significant mile-marker for me personally. And yet it paled fairly quickly. There were others that followed (like getting my first royalty check--that was prettyfun.)
But there are two things that have consistently outshone that "first time on the radio" moment: One is any time I'm playing live and the room grows quiet as I start to play a song I've written, and everyone in the room kind of "breathes in"...Priceless. I'd do it for free til I die.
The other one is when I get letters from people who have heard one of my songs and been "changed" somehow by it.
If you write songs, you know how unglamorous the writer's roomcan be. It's you, 4 walls, and a guitar or keyboard.
But think about it... from that little nothing place, I can fire a friendly missile that will cause someone miles away (and even years later) to pull their car off the road and weep.
I can sing a tale that will mend a thousand marriages, givingsomeone the hope to carry on even when it's hard.
My pen can pour out a simple song that makes me mysteriously "important" to people I've never even met.
I've been well-paid from my songs, and so can you... but that still doesn't hold a candle to getting a letter from someone who says my song "changed their life."
(I get that kind of feedback a lot from a song I co-wrote withmy friend Chuck White, called "About Goodbye"...you can hear iton my Myspace page: www.myspace.com/morgancryarmusic )
As songwriters, we also sometimes get to provide the "movie soundtrack" for people's special moments.
You know yourself that when you hear certain songs, you feel apang of emotion (happy or sad) only because that's what was playing when something important happened to you.
THE BEST AWARD
Yes, I've had the ego boost of accepting awards among my peers.There have been #1 single parties where I was the guest of honor. Getting all dressed up and getting on camera makes you feel important for a moment.
Going from Lousiana redneck to respected songwriter is a surrealexperience. But...
Having people express true-life gratitude and appreciation for one of my songs far outweighs all the glamorous stuff.
If you've never had this experience, I can help you make it cometrue. There are skills I can teach you that will let you writesongs that wrestle people to the ground and change them.
If you want to write great songs, just click here.
I wish you all the best.
