Quick Tips: Revelations in Recording & Mixing The ability to record and mix music is no doubt a skill and an art form. Developing it takes time, and requires many “failures,” experiments and learning experiences. To truly succeed and excel — in anything really — you have to have a hunger to sift through absorb the infinite amount of knowledge that’s out there. I wanted to give you some quick knowledge nuggets I received in response to a question I posed on an audio engineering forum (which shall remain nameless because I hate it). I asked them: “What’s your most memorable ‘a-ha’ moment in learning to mix and record?” It’s difficult to pinpoint one single ‘a-ha’ moment, as many of us have them all the time — but that’s a beautiful thing. Regardless, I think some of us have a couple that really stand out. Below is a collection of what I thought were some interesting responses to the question. “The moment i realized that there’s a big difference between knowing something and actually getting it.”
Pioneer Woman Homeschooling By Heather Sanders It is April; the month I typically begin receiving and reading through various homeschooling curriculum and supply catalogs; so naturally, my head is already spinning regarding which courses Meredith and Kenny will take next school year. Because I enrolled Kenny in our homeschool cooperative’s last two years of American History (Part 1 & Part 2), he is not on the same track as his sisters when they entered the seventh grade. While I feel no need for his education to replicate his siblings’, for the sake of using the curriculum already purchased, I try to keep the kids’ core studies somewhat uniform.

I’m curious of your opinion, so please weigh in. How “set” are you in teaching state history?

How To Make Money in Your Spare Time Doing Simple Online Tasks | Zero 2 Hero via: Lifehacker Many “online jobs” promising quick riches and little effort are really scams. While the tasks below won’t make you rich, they can earn you a little pocket money on the side—and these days that can make a big difference. Most of these online money making opportunities only require you have a computer, a decent internet connection, and some sort of marketable skill (or the ability to provide valuable consumer insight to marketers). You’ll be operating as a free agent and can choose when, where, and how much to participate. Sound too good to be true? Also beware: because specialized skills aren’t always required, you do have to be wary of scams.

Speed exercises for I've used these myself, and have found them to be quite amazing, both in strengthening your fingers and in training your mind.

7 Tools to keep your Mac Healthy For the four years I’ve been using a Mac, I haven’t used a maintenance tool. All I’ve ever done was verify disk permissions, and maybe use Drive Genius to perform some optimisation. But even that was just something ‘extra’ and not necessary according to me.
