Re: [FairfieldLife] Music Theory and Composition

2015-09-21 Thread Bhairitu noozg...@sbcglobal.net [FairfieldLife]
After I would teach a student all the 7th chords in the C scale I would 
have them to that in G.  Then assigned them "The Autum Leaves" because 
it pretty much goes through the cycle of 4ths.  He does that in another 
lesson. Another useful tune that is somewhat easy to play is "All the 
Things You Are" because it does a cycle of 4ths thing but also does them 
in different keys.  "Satin Doll" is another good one for II V 
progressions.  "Girl from Ipanema" is not that hard to play and a good 
chord drill.  As for Beatles "In My Life" really lends itself to some 
beautiful chord substitutions especially using 13th chords.  Those can 
provide just another level of emotion that song.


Trick for easy left hand accompaniment: play just the root and seventh 
then root and third of the next chord.  Dm7 G7 would be D and C then G 
and B.  See how the C resolves down to the B?

I've started playing the piano again this past few days and reviewed 
some of the songs that Carlos Jobim wrote.  He was actually very well 
versed in music theory.   He knew how to weave a song by using unusual 
chord progressions.  He did this by using the cycle of fifths, tritone 
substitutions, passing chords, and other techniques.



Also, I've figured out the chord progression of the Beatles', "I Want 
to Hold Your Hand".  It's a classic song to study in terms of music 
composition.  Now, I'm trying to add those techniques I've learned to 
embellish this song to make it sound fresh and new.  Chord inversions 
could probably work in the beginning.  But I'm still working on it ...

I watched the full video and his "oopsie" is when descending back to 
the I chord after the V is that he used inversions and of the minor 
9th chords but failed to mention it.  He could have just said he was 
using inversions and for more info he does have a video on that.


This is rather intermediate instruction and really not for beginners. 
It's always interesting to see what chord substitutions folks come up 
with.  Don Paulson once talked about just putting his hands down on 
the keyboard and his ears led him to resolve whatever that played.  
This days I have fun doing that too.

was his use of the phrygian mode concept in creating the final chord. 
 I didn't realize you could do that and get away with it.

I'm afraid not, Mike. Both your posts on this were wildly misleading. 

The very notion of Obama changing Thanksgiving Day to Immigrants Day is 
preposterous, but it fits smoothly into the anti-Obama nonsense that the far 
right indulges in all the time: Obama is not an American, therefore he does not 
revere Thanksgiving like all good Americans do, and he wants to change it to 
Immigrants day because he is sympathetic to the flood of illegals that are 
pouring in and ruining this once-great country of ours, and is of course an 
immigrant himself (and an illegal one, too).

would assume precautions were taken to avoid it. As far as I can tell, every 
culture and religion has made an exception for killing another human for self 
defense and war or at least a defensive war.  

So, killing an unformed, unborn human is murder and killing a fully formed 
human being with history and family and loved ones who threatens you or is 
engaged in war with you is not murder. 'Nuff said.

meaningless, allowing us aggression in any quarter, justified as 
'self-defense'. Where are the demonstrations against the murders occurring as a 
result of our actions outside our borders? Why should independent human beings 
get less or no consideration, than fetuses, regarding their murders, if we 
define murder as you have here? It seems you are going after the easy target.

 Let's talk about this term, "murder", wrt an abortion. I know the radical 
preachers have seized on this term as a graphic and ugly description of 
abortion. But, have any of them known a murder victim? Someone who had a full 
life and a circle of friends and family, those that loved them, who would never 
see them again? Hard core memories of this person remain, their smile, their 
belongings, the many activities shared, their pictures in the high school 
yearbook. I lost two friends that way in high school, both young women, one was 
hitchhiking, and the other's car broke down.
And does anyone think about the actual mindset of a murderer? Aside from 
killings done in the heat of the moment, murderers are violent thugs and 
predators who deliberately enjoy inflicting pain on others - As evil as it 
gets.

I watched the full video and his "oopsie" is when descending back to the 
I chord after the V is that he used inversions and of the minor 9th 
chords but failed to mention it.  He could have just said he was using 
inversions and for more info he does have a video on that.


This is rather intermediate instruction and really not for beginners. 
It's always interesting to see what chord substitutions folks come up 
with.  Don Paulson once talked about just putting his hands down on the 
keyboard and his ears led him to resolve whatever that played.  This 
days I have fun doing that too.

[FairfieldLife] Re: 29% of Americans Would Support a Miliary Coup

2015-09-21 Thread s3raph...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]
Two days ago a senior serving general said that the British Army could stage a 
mutiny if Corbyn (the new Labour Party leader in the UK) ever becomes Prime 
Minister. 
 From a news source:
 

 Speaking anonymously to The Sunday Times, he said Mr Corbyn's victory has been 
greeted with 'wholesale dismay' in the army.
 He added: 'There would be mass resignations at all levels and you would face 
the very real prospect of an event which would effectively be a mutiny.
 'Feelings are running very high within the armed forces. You would see a major 
break in convention with senior generals directly and publicly challenging 
Corbyn over vitally important policy decisions such as Trident, pulling out of 
Nato and any plans to emasculate and shrink the size of the armed forces.
 'The Army just wouldn't stand for it. The general staff would not allow a 
prime minister to jeopardise the security of this country and I think people 
would use whatever means possible, fair or foul, to prevent that. You can't put 
a maverick in charge of a country's security.'

 IMO, the idea of a military coup in the USA is not going to happen.  It's 
possible in a small third world country.  The present military culture has been 
weaned by following the Constitution.  Any potential dictator in the military 
will not be able to rise up the ranks. 

 For that to happen in this country,  the economic conditions would have to 
deteriorate to the point of anarchy and disaster.  Besides, the military does 
not have any expertise to manage the economy and the various sectors of society 
or the government.

 YouGov Poll: 29% of Americans Would Support a Military Coup
 Joshua Krause 
 The Daily Sheeple http://www.thedailysheeple.com/ 
 September 12th, 2015
 

 As it stands today, our government is a constitutional republic in name only. 
Our nation is ruled by wealthy oligarchs and special interests, and there is 
plenty of blame to go around for this situation. No society falls to these 
depths without at least the implicit consent of the population, and even the 
most ruthless of governments can’t survive if its citizens refuse to go along 
with the program.
 

 So it’s safe to say that the American people are at least partly to blame for 
the sick institutions that rule over them. And if that’s the case, you have to 
ask yourself, what might our society come to accept in the future? If our lack 
of resistance has contributed to the corrosion of our civil liberties and the 
growth of our unbounded government, then nothing is off the table. If we’re 
willing to put up with this, what won’t we put up with? What sort of system 
might our society produce in the future?
 

 If recent polls are to be believed, then a military dictatorship 
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/military-coup-u-surprising-number-195400272.html 
is certainly a possibility. After a West Point professor entertained the 
possibility of a coup occurring on American soil two weeks ago, (which led to 
his resignation) YouGov decided to poll 1000 American voters on their opinion 
of the military, and whether or not they would support a military takeover. The 
results were fairly shocking.
 

 In a new survey 
https://today.yougov.com/news/2015/09/09/could-coup-happen-in-united-states/ by 
YouGov, 29 percent of respondents said they can imagine a situation in which 
they would support the military taking control of the federal government – that 
translates into over 70 million American adults. Forty-one percent of 
respondents said could not imagine supporting the military taking over the 
country.
 

 Republicans (43 percent) were more likely to say they can envision a scenario 
in which they could support a military coup than Democrats (20 percent). 
Perhaps that difference is related to having a Democratic president who some 
critics on the right see as overstepping his power.
 

 Regardless of political ideology, one reason people might support a military 
coup is because they respect officers in the military far more than they do 
people in Congress. According to the same YouGov survey, almost three-quarters 
(70 percent) of respondents believe that military officers want what is best 
for the country, while only 29 percent think the same of members of Congress.
 

 Lawmakers better shape up or they might be shipped out — literally.
 The poll also found that 55% of the population believes that the police want 
what’s best for the country, while 24% thought that they were only interested 
in what’s best for themselves. The other categories, which included Congress, 
local politicians, and civil servants, went in the other direction. The 
majority of those polled thought that the people in these categories were 
self-serving.
 In other words, most Americans have a lot of confidence in the armed enforcers 
of government, but very little confidence in the politicians and bureaucrats i

The moons gravity stretched the earth crust some 3 to just  under 4 ft at the,"

can view the daily tides. At some time in the distant past when the Luna was 
much closer to Terra the tides were a mile plus in height & vastly slowed our 
daily spin & far more. These effect are lessened as the moon moves away from is 
but it  may well in our distant future come in to crash with us.

decreasing 24% among higher-income women.[1,6]
 • Overall, the abortion rate decreased 8% between 2000 and 2008, but abortion 
increased 18% among poor women, while decreasing 28% among higher-income

June 6, 2011, Obama met with the National Security team and was
interviewed by WEWS Cleveland and WDIV in Detroit about the auto
industry - FAR too busy to visit the D-Day memorial.

June 6, 2012, instead of honoring our fallen soldiers, Obama made
a campaign trip to California on Air Force 1 (at our expense) to
raise funds for (his) upcoming election.

Hmmm , yes, pregnancies do happen, even with precautions but I doubt the 
overwhelming majority do. Kind of reminds me of Jeff Goldbloom's line in 
Jurassic Park, "Nature finds a way". I say" if the mother's life is endangered" 
because that would be self defense. Killing in self defense is not considered 
murder. In cases like rape, incest etc, I know it sounds tough but does 
innocent life have to pay with it's own for the actions of others. The mother 
should bring the baby to term and give it up for adoption if she can't handle 
the circumstances. Somebody will love it if she can't. If she doesn't a 
reminder of her misfortune, does she want two reminders?

Overview:

Quick Stats
• Half of pregnancies among American women are unintended, and about four in 10 
of these end in abortion.[1]• About half of American women will have an 
unintended pregnancy, [2] and nearly 3 in 10 will have an abortion, by age 
45.[3]• The overall U.S. unintended pregnancy rate increased slightly between 
1994 and 2008, but unintended pregnancy increased 55% among poor women, while 
decreasing 24% among higher-income women.[1,6]• Overall, the abortion rate 
decreased 8% between 2000 and 2008, but abortion increased 18% among poor 
women, while decreasing 28% among higher-income women.[3]• Some 1.06 million 
abortions were performed in 2011, down from 1.21 million abortions in 2008, a 
decline of 13%.[4]• The number of U.S. abortion providers declined 4% between 
2008 (1,793) and 2011 (1,720). The number of clinics providing abortion 
services declined 1%, from 851 to 839. Eighty-nine percent of all U.S. counties 
lacked an abortion clinic in 2011; 38% of women live in those counties.[4]• 
Nine in 10 abortions occur in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.[5]• A broad 
cross section of U.S. women have abortions:[3]   
   - 58% are in their 20s;
   - 61% have one or more children;
   - 56% are unmarried and not cohabiting;

MD, 
The kid was playing a joke on the school system and the cops as a form of 
protest, which appears to fit his passive-aggressive personality (as stated by 
one cop).   This caught Obama's attention since he himself was harassed and 
suspected of wrong-doing in his youth for being black.  This incident is 
similar to a "DWB" (driving while black) case that is fairly common in big 
cities in the USA.
The kid's case could be considered SWM (studying while Muslim).

I just took the whole story as being a typical zero tolerance  in school

parents are still fighting it., trying to get it expunged from his school 
record. However, there are several stories out there giving a different side to 
the clock/bomb.story. Seems his dad is an activist Muslim, maybe with CAIR, not 
sure. Could have been a set up for a suit.The box looked much more suspicious 
than a pop tart. In one video of the kid explaining what happened, at the 1:26 
point in the video he says,I used a zip tie to close it so it wouldn't look 
dangerous or threatening. Kind of a subtle admission that it did or could. I 
think the handcuffs were a bit over- doing it. But the teacher did the absolute 
right thing to take it and the kid to the office and report it. I rarely agree 
with Bil Maher on anything but he was absolutely right on this. Draw a gun and 
get suspended, bring a box that has the appearance of a bomb and get invited to 
the WH.

 And does anyone think about the actual mindset of a murderer? Aside from 
killings done in the heat of the moment, murderers are violent thugs and

 To call abortion "murder" is over the top hyperbole, and those radical

creating conflict, than resolution. Doesn't sound Christ-like to me - 
Carelessly equating abortion with "murder" is more like creating a political 
wedge issue, to rally the flock. 
 

 Pardon my cynical view of the radical preachers who rally their followers 
around the abortion issue, though it seems far easier for these men to gang up

real problems of the world, their families, and within themselves.

Every year the French have a 4 day celebration in Normandy complete with

died there 
 
 
  
   

 
  
   


 
 
 June 6, 2013, the 69th anniversary of "D-Day", the largest invasion ever 
attempted, where 200,000 Americans stormed the beaches at Normandy to begin the 
final push to defeat Nazi Germany in WWII. D-Day marked the turning point in 
WWII in Europe ... Today, European heads of state make it a point to recall and 
honor the sacrifices of those who landed in Normandy , as do our Presidents 
well, most of them  
   
 In the 69 years since D-Day, there are four occasions when the President of

 2. Barack Obama, 2011 
 
 3. Barack Obama, 2012 
 
 4. Barack Obama, 2013 
 
 For the past 69 years, every American President except Obama have taken the 
time to honor the memory and sacrifices of the 6,000 American soldiers killed 
on D-Day. ...Except Obama! 
  
 June 6 2010, Obama had no events scheduled. 
   
  
 

   
  
  
   

 
  
   

  
 June 6, 2011, Obama met with the National Security team and was interviewed by

 "Unthinking man, remember this, 
 Though fond of sublunary bliss, 
 Though fond of sublunary bliss, 
 That you must groan and die." 
 

 My soul, attend the solemn call, 
 Thine earthly tent must shortly fall, 
 Thine earthly tent must shortly fall, 
 And thou must take thy flight. 
 Beyond the vast expansive blue, 
 To sing above, as angels do, 
 To sing above, as angels do,
 Or sing in endless night. 
 

 Joshua Smith's Divine Hymns, 1794.

 This is sort of funny.  A couple of weeks ago my wife and I were having dinner 
in a restaurant in a better part of town, where I also went to high school.  It 
was a lot busier than we expected. We were sitting at the outdoor bar, and I 
hear a couple guys talking about the best looking girl in our high school 
during those days.  I mentioned how odd that was to my wife, and then she 
overheard the bartender talking to one of the group about where the their high 
school reunion was going to after this little pre get together. 

 This group was a year behind me, (thank God), but I was surprised at just how 
old everyone looked.
 

 On the other hand, the person I see in the mirror now, for the first time, is 
starting to look pretty old as well.  (-:

 64 next month. Just went to my 45th year high school reunion last night, 
couldn't recognize a soul! We all looked so old! Everybody was going around 
looking at our name tags with our senior pictures on them to see who they 
recognized! It was hilarious.  My dad died when I was nine, I never married 
because I never expected to live long enough to raise a family. Didn't want to 
put my kids through my own personal experience. Big mistake, maybe. Hear I am 
at 64, old enough to be a grandfather. However , raising a family, I wouldn't 
have had the wonderful experiences I have had with Maharishi.

At this point I would have to ask your age. I would guess you were born well 
after the beginning of the *Great Society*. That is when out of wedlock 
birthrates began do increase, when the government told the masses, we will take 
care of your babies, women began to feel there was no need for a man in the 
house, a bread winner. Children started growing up without a male role model 
and authority figure in the house and crime started ramping up. Out of wedlock 
birth rates in the black community today near 80% and about 40 % in white 
homes, the last I read. This was unheard of before the beginning of the *Great 
Society*.
 

 That's funny because I was going to ask your age as well based on some of your 
comments (BTW, I like discussing things with you because no matter how much we 
might disagree you are alway pleasant and civil. I think this is one of the 
things I like most about FFL now - everyone can speak their mind without the 
peanut gallery inciting dissension by misrepresenting every viewpoint and 
consequently skewing discussions until hey resemble nothing but juvenile pie 
throwing contests). I was born in 1956 so that makes me much older than you 
think. In addition, I have never had an abortion nor do I have any children (by 
definite choice). When my husband and I were married he had already been 
married before and had had a vasectomy (he is 7 years older than I am) and if 
we were going to have children together he was going to have to have the 
vasectomy reversed but much to his relief I told him I had no desire for 
children. But before that I would have had many opportunities to have gotten 
pregnant but I was pretty careful. Would I have had an abortion if I had gotten 
pregnant? I'm not absolutely sure but it seems likely that I would have.
