The Great Gig In The Sky

The Dark Side of The Moon
The cover is a reference to the
group's reputation for amazing light shows.

It features the soaring voice instrumental music by Clare Torry and was originally called either "The Religion Song" or "The Mortality Sequence" during recording. It's been said that when she nailed it on the first take she apologised thinking it wasn't very good. For the blog I have loaded a cover with fireworks, but for the real deal which can never be replicated, click here
The album begins with "Speak to Me / Breathe" and is about birth and being a child with new earthly experiences. "Time" deals with growing older and the overwhelmingly fast approach of death - youth being gone before one even realizes it. "The Great Gig in the Sky" deals with thoughts of death and religion, "Money" deals with consumerism with tongue-in-cheek lyrics and wealth-related sound effects. "Us and Them" deals with conflict, ethnocentrism, and the belief that a person's self is "always in the right". The final track is "Eclipse" that deals with growing too old to be who one once was, and finally, death.
Having enjoyed Pink Floyd I decided to make my own version of Eclipse below. Enjoy the Fourth of July, some great tunage and drive safe!

Proud Papa!

Dakota
Since then he has grown and I have tried not to spend as much time at the computer....but as you may have seen, I have not been here for some time because I have taken up a new Hobby in Day Trading. I began a New Blog and have been making some extra money on the side as a swing trader in the stock market. When I made $14,000 in 3 days and came in 2nd place in a portfolio contest on a popular stock site my first try, I was hooked. But time is more precious then money and time spent with my son is the best time of all.
This week I'll be going on a cruise and wanted Dakota to take up Scuba Diving. Though he has yet to finish the class, by end of summer we should be able to go anywhere in the world and scuba together and create some amazing memories.

My son learns everday from my examples but the message of this song is clear, Be A Simple Kind Of Man, Be Something You Love and Understand I like those words and just as he wanted to show me his video back in October of Don't Blink, I offer this video to my Son for Fathers Day.
Happy Fathers day to all Dad's blessed to have Children,

Breath Awareness
Close your eyes and bring your awareness to your breath. Begin by simply noticing each breath as it happens. As you inhale, notice that you are inhaling. As you exhale, notice that your are exhaling. Continue this noticing until you feel your awareness settling comfortably and reliably on the breath. You can then refine your awareness, by noticing more subtle aspects of the breath. Consider shifting your awareness to the following aspects of the breath:
Continue to notice whatever you notice - go deeper with this awareness practice and notice the subtleties of your own breath. With this practice, you are not trying to consciously control the breath. However, as you become more aware of the breath, you may find that the quality of your breath changes. Allow this to happen naturally, without strain or effort.
Suggested Practice Time: 5 minutes or longer. Practice several times a day, if possible. This is a practice that can stand on its own, whenever you have the chance to practice it.

The Onion News - Videos

From time to time I like to pass along a little snapshot of a particulate art form, artist or creative spirit that I find unique, funny, engaging or moving in some way as we live in an age where the Medium in the Message. These artists sometimes ask us to think and stretch the limits of our imagination with their creativity which have come in many different forms.
Sometimes it's just simple act of a hug, the fun and authentic music of The Kooks, or amazing computer software that changes how we interact as in the Perceptive Pixel to the incredible CG short movie from Industrial Light and Magic that begs you to look into the body, mind and spirit entitled A Work in Progress or the fantastic and relevant art parody of Havidol to the creative and professional photography of David Nightengale and of course the Worlds Fastest Car and Sexy Models.
Art comes in so many forms but lately online videos have really been heating up the internet so I thought I would throw one more offering out there for you to take a look at from Onion News.
Their videos are hilarious in their approach and witty in their content. These new videos will make you laugh and beg you to ask, why can’t the majority of Americans see through the bullshit which is a perfect segway to showcase a typical satire of the political scene. Take a look.
Perhaps my favorite political spoof was the following who

Steps to Wellness

"Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit. When one is
free from physical disabilities and mental distractions, the gates of the soul open.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Over the last several weeks I've been fighting flu and a lingering bronchitis that left me with a general malaise in my everyday activities. With the immune system weakened, my energy low I decided to revisit 5 steps for integral wellness that can re-balance the mind, body and spirit. So this last week I have gone vegan, begun a cleansing program, turned off the TV, tuned out the stress and tuned into the observer.
So I thought I would offer up these steps that I find helpful when dealing with sickness, stress, DIS -ease or just a feeling of overwhelm. Forgive the writing as it is more in article format in style rather then blog free flowing thoughts, but the points are valid and information helpful.

The first and most important step to wellness is understanding who you are as spirit, mind and body. It is these three elements that makeup our reality as the spirit moves the mind, which in turn sets the body in motion. Spirit over mind over matter, or the observer, the process of observing and the observed.
In today's modern world our minds have been polluted by a virtual tsunami wave of information. This media wave acts as a toxin as our minds try and cope with the stressors of information overload. To stay sane , the mind filterers and prioritizes through what is needful and ignores the rest until we deal with them in our sleep as the unconscious replays the days events in dreamtime.
When the mind is preoccupied and or confused as to its purpose by the cluttering of thoughts and the infotainment buzz, it is unable to direct the body in a meaningful way. This leads to both mental and physical fatigue as our energy is drawn down by thoughts and behaviors that are self sabotaging or without real meaning. A life without direction and purpose soon leads to depression, sickness and DISease. The key to integral wellness is to find the meaning and purpose of your life which brings peace and tranquility and a greater sense of well being. Your inner strength soon shines through as it radiates outwards towards others. This is real beauty and wellness.

Steps to integral wellness.
Step 1: Cleanse your mind and Body.
As we begin each day in our fast past lives our mind and body are constantly processing thoughts, emotions, and experiences at an incessant rate. As the body reacts to changes in it's physical, mental or emotional experience it can make you feel overwhelmed, causing stress. If stress continues this leads to distress which throws the body out of balance leading to physical symptoms. If the stress is prolonged the symptoms can lead to disease and death. Stress has been linked to six of the leading causes of death: heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, cirrhosis of the liver, and suicide
Cleansing the body
With our bodies out of balance the mind fatigues and begins to worry and try to cope with the imbalance, so a good place to start is by cleansing the body to free the mind. Here area few simple steps you can take.
Detox - is the process of cleansing and restoring the body to a state of natural balance and harmony by ridding the body of toxins. This is done by increasing the efficiency of the digestive system and stimulating other parts of the body that are responsible for cleansing and elimination of wastes.
Your body is designed to deal with toxins by neutralizing, transforming or eliminating them. The liver, kidneys, intestines, lungs, lymph nodes and skin all work at ridding the body of toxins and waste. It is when the body reaches an overload of these toxins that our immune system is compromised and we suffer. Here are a few ways of detoxing.
Drink more water - Just drinking at least three pints of water each day will help you flush out toxins.
Eat more fruits and vegetables - Fruits and vegetables are higher in water content, contain powerful antioxidants and provide fiber for easy digestion. Eat less meat and dairy products.
Avoid chemicals and refined foods - Stay away from preservatives and chemical additives in foods such as Aspartame found in diet sodas and packaged as Nutrsweet Equal and others. Over 100 million American now consume aspartame products which literally stimulate the neurons of the brain to death causing brain damage of varying degrees. Aspartame contains 10% methanol, and without ethanol and pectin, it's antidotes, it quickly turns toxic. Ethanol & pectin prevent methanol from being metabolized into formaldehyde (embalming fluid) & formic acid (same chemical as fire ant venom), both deadly toxins. Bottom line, stay away from anything that contains aspartame.
As detoxification takes effect the healing process will be set in motion and your health will steadily improve.
Free the body and free the mind.

Human beings were never designed to live and cope with the high stress demands of the 21st century lifestyle. With the mind having to make decisions every moment of the day we tend to get caught up in the thinking game and can easily become overwhelmed by the frantic pace of it all. Our minds turn round and round incessantly thinking of this or that, worried about the past or anticipating the future, when NOW is the only time you will ever have. The past is gone, the future is yet to be, which is why we call the present a 'gift'.
Relaxing the mind is the natural balance to relaxing the body and to be able to deal with the stressors in your life, you need to be able to do both. By learning to turn of the mind like a switch, you will find it easier to separate your mind from its immediate surroundings. To find stillness in your life means finding peace, and finding peace brings mind and body to a natural state of harmony.
Here are a few ways to relax the mind.
Meditation - Meditation is by far the most effective way of focusing your mind to bring about relaxation, peace and tranquility. With the ability to control your mind instead of allowing your mind controlling you, the peace and harmony you lack in anxious thoughts will disappear. You will find yourself with more energy and better able to cope by managing your time more effectively.
How it works
Your brain is the body's computer center of all your thoughts, feelings and sensory experiences. The brain communicates by electrical impulses or what we call brain waves. This language of the brain manifests itself as four states of electrical activity or consciousness. They are:

Beta - From concentration to anxiety or fight or flight.
Alpha - Relaxation, super learning to pre sleep and access to unconscious mind
Theta - Increased creativity, the ah-ha moment, to Dreamin state (REM), trance and access to unconscious mind.
Delta - Dreamless sleep, deep trance like state, total loss of body awareness, access to the unconscious and the collective unconscious mind.
Meditation affects this electrical impulses or language and produces high-intensity alpha waves which are associated with super learning, deep relaxation and mental alertness. This state helps break through the learned patterned responses of stress from the sense of urgency and anxiety that you may habitually encounter.
Taking time out each day has proved to lead to a more positive attitude, a greater sense of well being and a feeling of being very much in control.

Visualization and positive affirmations
Visualization is a technique that concentrates the powers of our imagination and enables people to overcome obstacles in their lives, improve memory, enhance learning, and to heal physically, mentally, and emotionally. Imagery is helpful in developing focus and concentration; calming; coping with stress/anxiety. Visualization combined with positive affirmations can be extremely powerful.
The idea behind positive affirmations is a simple one.
Thoughts create emotions - emotions create responses,
and responses reinforce thoughts.
The mental map of our belief system is maintained by this very simple premise. To help undue conflicting or self sabotaging thinking, simply find a quiet moment and

37. "Flying" Instrumental - extended version performed by The Secret Machines played over the latter portion of the end credit sequence (performers not seen on-screen)
The title is taken from the Beatles song "Across the Universe", the "O" in "Across" is shown as a strawberry on the key-art advertising the film - a reference to the Beatles song "Strawberry Fields Forever"
The Liverpool club seen during the UK part of the Hold Me Tight sequence was filmed in the reconstituted Cavern Club in Liverpool. The band in the film are in similar stage set-up to the footage of the Beatles seen in the 1962 archive footage of the group performing the song "Some Other Guy" at the Cavern Club.
An elderly shipyard employee who gives Jude his paycheck says, "I told myself, 'When I'm sixty-four'..." an allusion to the song "When I'm Sixty-Four".
In the scene showing the alley in which Jude and Molly are seen kissing as well as in the scene in front of the shipyard, it appears to be a similar setting and camera angle to that used in the music video for the Beatles' "Free as a Bird".
At college Max generally goofs off and causes trouble. This is a reference to the song lyric, "Back in school again/Maxwell plays the fool again", from the song which gives Max his name "Maxwell's Silver Hammer".
The arrangement of the second half of the performance of With A Little Help From My Friends is based on Joe Cocker's famous cover version on With A Little Help From My Friends[1].
Max is seen getting Jude high for his first time when they sing "With a Little Help from my Friends". This could be a reference to the first time the Beatles got high with Bob Dylan on their first visit to America.
The poster of French actress/model Brigitte Bardot in Max's dorm room is identical to one owned by and displayed in one of the homes of John Lennon.
Seen in Lucy's room, next to the mirror, there is an early photo of George Harrison and John Lennon.
An older woman at the dinner table scene (possibly Lucy's grandmother) comments on the "cranberry sauce" a phrase that is quietly said by John Lennon during the end of "Strawberry Fields Forever". (This was originally believed by Beatle fanatics to have been John saying 'I buried Paul'.
There are several uses of the number "nine" - which is a popular number in Beatles culture because of the avant-garde Beatles recording Revolution 9. The apartment that Paco is using as his headquarters is apartment number 9. When Jude and Lucy go outside for fresh air during Sadie's show at Cafe Huh? (an obvious reference to Cafe Wha?), there is a number 9 behind them in the background. When Prudence locks herself in the closet, the number 9 is fixed to the closet door. At the end of the movie, when Lucy tries to get to Jude on the rooftop, the door that she's standing in front of when she rings the buzzer has a number 9 on it.
When Max and Jude first see their new apartment, Sadie comments that Max seems harmless, but could have murdered his grandmother with a hammer, and in another scene Max is shown holding a hammer, both none-too-subtle references to the song that inspired Max's name, "Maxwell's Silver Hammer."
The acoustic guitar that appears onstage when Sadie is performing resembles the Epiphone EJ-160E John Lennon Acoustic-Electric which he used during the early Beatle days.
During Sadie's performance of Why Don't We Do It in the Road?, Jude shouts out the words "Sexy, Sadie" - the title of the song from which her name is taken.
A voice is heard yelling "Get Back!" when Sadie leaves the stage during "Oh! Darling".
When Prudence climbs in through the window into the apartment, Jude says to her, "Hello, hello", a reference to the song “Hello Goodbye". A short time later, Sadie asks where she came from. Jude replies, "She came in through the bathroom window." This is a reference to another Beatles song, "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window".
Later in the film, Prudence locks herself in the closet and has to be serenaded out by the other cast members. This is a reference to a real occurrence in 1968 at the ashram of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in India where the Beatles, Mia Farrow, Donovan, and others were studying. Mia Farrow's sister Prudence was reclusive and did not leave her living quarters to join the other students, inspiring John Lennon to write the song "Dear Prudence". The film also uses the song as a subtle reference to the fictional Prudence character's reluctance to 'come out of the closet' in relation to her sexual orientation.
When Jude, Lucy, and Max are at the party for Doctor Robert (played by Bono) they are seen drinking from a bowl of unknown liquid. This is a reference to the lyric, "Take a drink from his special cup, Doctor Robert" from the Beatles song "Doctor Robert."
The bus trip with Dr. Robert appears to reference the 1967 Beatles production Magical Mystery Tour - a project that had itself been inspired by the 1964-1965 bus trips of Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters - also referenced in Across The Universe. There is even a brief appearance by the bus driver who resembles the real Pranksters driver, beat icon Neal Cassady. Further evidence that Dr. Robert references Kesey is the style of the party with Kool-Aid spiked with L.S.D. and Dr. Robert holding forth with an Ampex tape delay echo machine is on the signatures of the Merry Pranksters's "Acid Tests".
During the psychedelic bus trip with Doctor Roberts, there is a man seen typing franticly on a type writer. This is a reference to the Beatles song “Paperback Writer”
There is a band dressed in Sgt. Pepper-style costumes before and during the "Mr. Kite" scene.
The "Blue People" in the sequence based on Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite are based on The Blue Meanies (Yellow Submarine) from the animated film Yellow Submarine (film)
When the cast is lying in the field singing “Because”, there are nine people singing. In the Beatles recording of “Because” John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison overlapped their trio three times, making a nine part vocal on the track. When they appear in the water, singing "Because", Jude is seen wrapped around Lucy kissing her. This is reminiscent of a pose that John and Yoko did for Rolling Stone.
Sadie's record company is called "Strawberry Jamz". This is a play on the Beatles company "Apple Corps". Apple Records, the company founded by the Beatles in 1968, is obliquely referenced when Jude is trying to draw a green apple, then slices it in half and tries to draw it again, thus producing the two images used for that company's record labels.
The instrumental for "A Day in the Life" is playing as Jude, in Liverpool, reads the newspaper article about the bomb blast, thus referencing the line, "I read the news today, oh, boy".
The rooftop concert toward the end of the film, during which they sing Don't Let Me Down, references the Beatles' famous impromptu rooftop concert atop their Apple offices in January 1969 - their final live performance in which they also performed that song. The police appearing on the scene to close down the concert is a reference to 1969 event which had a similar police visit. The psychedelic painted Porsche 356 shown on the street is the formerly owned by singer Janis Joplin.
As the movie ends, Lucy's face dissolves into the sky, as the song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is heard performed by Bono over the end credit sequence.

Worlds Fastest Car ... Again!

The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is currently the fastest, most powerful, and most expensive street-legal full production car in the world, with a proven top speed of over 400 km/h (407.5 km/h or 253.2 mph).
It reached full production in September 2005. The car is built by Volkswagen AG subsidiary Bugatti Automobiles SAS in its Molsheim (Alsace, France) factory and is sold under the legendary Italian/French Bugatti marque.
It is named after French racing driver Pierre Veyron, who won the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1939 while racing for the original Bugatti firm.

The Bugatti Veyron features a W16 engine - 16 cylinders in 4 banks of 4 cylinders. Each cylinder has 4 valves, with a total of 64, but the narrow V8 configuration allows two camshafts to drive two banks of cylinders so only 4 camshafts are needed. The engine is fed by four turbochargers.
Putting this power to the ground is a dual - clutch DSG computer - controlled manual transmission with 7 gear ratios via shifter paddles behind the steering wheel boasting an 8 ms shift time. The Veyron can be driven by full automatic transmission. The Veyron also features full-time all-wheel drive based engine on the Haldex system. It uses special Michelin run-flat tires designed specifically for the Veyron to accommodate the vehicle's top speed.
The Curb weight is estimated about 4,160 lb (1890 kg). This gives the car a power to weight ratio of 529 bhp/tonne.

* 3 radiators for the engine cooling system.
* 1 heat exchanger for the air to liquid intercoolers.
* 2 for the air conditioning system.
* 1 transmission oil radiator.
* 1 differential oil radiator.
* 1 engine oil radiator.
* 1 hydraulic oil radiator for the spoiler.
