Announcing a Competition for Singers: Landlords and Tenants

Posted on September 20, 2011 by Aya Katz

Do you sing — alone or as part of a singing group? Would you be interested in having your voice featured in a music video on YouTube? If so, listen to the melody embedded below and read the lyrics:

1. About the Song

“Landlords and Tenants” is a song from the musical The Debt Collector. The music is by composer Daniel Carter. The words are by me: Aya Katz. The Debt Collector is a libertarian musical about a landlady, her tenants, and a debt collector. While each party is seen as having conflicting interests at the beginning of the play, by the end they all realize that they have to work together to make their world a better place.

“Landlords and Tenants” is the last of the nineteen songs in the musical. It is meant to be sung by the seven Lark children. They are putting on a skit for all the other people gathered there: their parents, who are the tenants, the debt collector, who is the knight in shining armor, and the landlady, Mrs. Hauser. Also present in the audience is Siren, the social worker. She is the servant mentioned in the song.

The Debt Collector is a morality play, and this song carries the moral.

2. About the Competition

The competition will be open from today until December 20, 2011. If you are a minor, you will need to get your parents to sign a parental consent form. Voice teachers and choir directors are encouraged to enter singing groups into the competition.

Here is how we will proceed. You may contact me through a message to my YouTube account requesting the sheet music and the entry form. You will also be given an mp3 file of the accompaniment music, although you may use your own instrumentalist if you so desire.

When you have a complete rendition of the song that you would like to enter into the competition, you may either send it in as an mp3 file or as a video response on YouTube.

There is no cash reward for the winners, but their entry will be prominently displayed here and on YouTube, and we will be showing the performance chosen as a demo to prospective producers of the play.

If you have any questions, please post those in the comment section here, and not on YouTube. I look forward to hearing you sing!

Relaxing the Moods

Posted on September 18, 2011 by Mariestips

No matter what stage in our life’s we may be: our youth, midlife or beyond, and even when life is basically peaceful, we will experience changes of mood. When I felt some anxiety last week, I made a conscious choice to stop activity and slow down with relaxing music. I placed a sign on my office door “Meditating and Chilling. Do Not Disturb” and stretched my legs on the ottoman, dimmed the lights, closed my eyes and let the music carry me away. I know that my brain was relaxing and responding to the music and my soul and body followed.

The most simple actions, such as slowing down, taking a deep breath, filling our moment and space with beauty be it music, art, aromas, a warm bath, are easily at our disposal if we but take the time to nurture ourselves.

I found this link in Youtube; the creator of this channel has 316 videos of purely relaxing, positive music.

Enjoy!

Pandora Radio App For iPhone/iPod Touch

Posted on September 18, 2011 by Peppergum01

For some of you who may not have a radio or get to listen to any of the good radio stations much, this app is perfect for you. In this app called Pandora for the iPhone/iPod Touch you get to listen to any station you want as long as you have internet available to you in the location you are at. After you’ve installed this app, you have options. You can either pick to get a new station on, bookmark a station, or choose your settings. When you go to “new station” put any artist’s name down and then press the artist you were looking for and it automatically puts the station in your “stations” section. You can also bookmark it and it will play music from that artist or from artists with similar music to his/hers.

For example: When I put a Disney artist’s station on, it plays a lot of different Disney songs and music from Disney Channel. This is a very good app to listen to music from if you don’t know what you feel like listening to at the moment, then you can let it randomly pick a song from your favorite type of music. If you don’t like a certain song that’s playing you can press the icon that looks like this : >>| . You can only skip a song for a number of times and then it won’t let you for the next few hours. This is one of my favorite top apps on my iPod Touch. I recommend to get it. The Pandora Radio is free at the app store.

For more information about this app watch this video which I also do not own:

Ninja Fishing App For iPhone/iPod Touch

Posted on September 18, 2011 by Peppergum01

Ninja Fishing is an app for the iPhone/iPod Touch and it’s similar to Fruit ninja but instead of slicing fruit you slice fish. When starting the game you first have a fishing line and let it down. Then let it drop and keep it away from all the fish and try to get it as far down as you can. When you think it’s far enough then let it hook onto a fish and then it’ll quickly start going up and getting as many fish in the way as you can while it’s going up and when it’s all the way up it’ll throw the fish in the air. When the fish are thrown in the air, quickly slice them before they fall back down.

This is a very addicting game and if you like fish more than fruit then you may like this even more than Fruit Ninja. I personally prefer Fruit Ninja but this is still a pretty good game for a reasonable price at the app store. If you want the full version of Ninja Fishing then you can get it for only about 0.99 cents at the app store or if you only want a demo or to try it out then you can get the Free version. I have the full version and it’s a pretty good game. It kills time and you can get very far on it.

For more information on this game just watch this video which I do not own:

Facebook App For iPod Touch/iPhone

Posted on September 18, 2011 by Peppergum01

You can get a facebook app for your iPod Touch/iPhone at the app store. On this app you have many options. When you use it for the first time you have to log into your facebook account on it. Next you can click on status and just use the touch keyboard on it when you press it and put your status in. You can look at your friend’s profiles and statuses also. It will notify you when somebody sends you a request or messages you.

As long as you have internet connection you can use this app. Or if you have a plan for internet on your iPhone then you can also use it anywhere. You may never have to check your facebook on your computer/laptop again. Unfortunately if you want to play games on facebook then you’ll either have to go on your computer/laptop and play them or get them seperately at the app store. But this facebook app is completely free with no charges required. You can also get this for your iPad too if you want. I find it the same as on the laptop/computer though.

For more information about the facebook app for the iPhone/iPod Touch watch this video, (I do not own this video once again):

How To Make Chewing Gum

Posted on September 18, 2011 by Peppergum01

You can make chewing gum by purchasing kits that come with everything you need or you can put it all together yourself. Here are the ingredients you will need:

● 1 oz gum base.

● Flavoring, to taste. You can look for flavoring online or directly like cinnamon powder or vanilla extract.

● 1 cup confectioner’s sugar

●1 1/2 tbsp. corn syrup

● (Optional) Food coloring

Now here are the steps:

1. Unfold a piece of waxed paper. Use it to cover a cutting board, dinner plate, or a part of the kitchen table. Place about half of the powdered sugar onto the waxed paper.Create a crater in the pile of sugar.

2. Place the gum pellets into a mixing container, then the corn syrup, food coloring, and flavoring. The pellets need to be melted in order to mix the sugar.

3. Place the gum pellets and corn syrup mixture into a microwave set on high for 10 seconds. Keep zapping it at 10 second intervals, until it’s completely melted.

4. Slowly add the hot mixture to the powdered sugar (in the crater) while mixing with a spoon.Work the gum into the sugar until it is all absorbed, adding more sugar as needed. When it is cool enough to handle, you can knead it like dough. Keep adding sugar and kneading until it doesn’t absorb anymore.

5. Last but not least cut the gum into pieces and wrap them. Congratulations, you made homemade gum!!

Hope this helped for the people who don’t like what they put in the gum at the store.

How To Apply Mascara

Posted on September 18, 2011 by Peppergum01

Sometimes it’s easy to smudge mascara in places on your face that it should not be. So hopefully these steps help you apply mascara without making a mess:

1. First take your brush and dip it in as you would do with liquid eyeliner or anything similar to it.

2. Take the thick brush and get any big clumps off of it.

2. Next start at the base of your top eyelashes and work your way up until they’re just the way you like them.

3. You can do the same with your bottom eyelashes, however they’re shorter on the bottom so you must be more careful.

4. You can add another coat as well if you’d like.

It’s as simple as that and for more information just watch this video, (I do not own this video either):

You can also buy any kind of mascara on amazon.com or at your local store:

How To Apply Liquid Eyeliner

Posted on September 18, 2011 by Peppergum01

Many girls/women have trouble applying liquid eyeliner because it’s so messy and can get everywhere if you do not use it properly. Here are the steps to applying any kind of liquid eyeliner:

1. Dip the brush in the bottle that it came in and make sure it’s ready to be put on.

2. Start in the middle as close to your lash line as possible and slowly carefully work your way down making a thin line. (You can make it thicker later)

3. Next fill in the other half and if you want you can make it thicker.

4. Last you can do a small wing at the tip end of your eye or you can leave it the way it is.

5. (Optional) If you want you can apply the liquid eyeliner to your waterline although I recommend a pencil eyeliner to do your waterline because liquid eyeliner can easily get into your eye when doing it on the waterline.

At the end you can add a dash of mascara to go with it, hopefully this helped and for more information watch this video, (I do not own this video):

If you don’t have liquid eyeliner or thinking of getting it you can buy it at amazon.com or your local store:
