<div><br/> <em><strong>The Billy Jones Band: 'Funky Blues & Southern Soul Vol.1'</strong></em><br/> <a href="http://www.lahoradelblues.com/criticas.htm" class="postlink" target="_blank" rel="noopener">http://www.lahoradelblues.com/criticas.htm</a><br/><br/><em>Born in the deep south of United States, where segregation was present in most aspects of daily life, Billy Jones grew up in his grandfather's bar, listening to blues in different juke joints and bars. Elmore James, Big Joe Turner, Jackie Wilson, B. B. King, Muddy Waters, Sam Cooke and other great blues and soul musicians were his influences and, when he was only five years old, he already had a guitar on his hands. Soon he started to perform for the American troops, which allowed him to travel all over the world and get a wide musical experience. Now he brings us his last and excellent recording, that accurately combines blues, funk and southern soul, always with an excellent taste and class, which makes as a result an actual urban sound, perfect to attract the new generations of blues music lovers. Ten powerful songs with an amazing punch and good rhythm, where Billy Jones’ well pitched voice and excellent guitar work shine like a dazzling star, perfectly supported by Corey Bray on keyboards, Rev. "Do Dirty" Kendrix on bass and Mark Flinoil on drums. A highly recommended work. In short words, this is a superb album in many concepts. <strong>GREAT</strong>.</em></div>

lest they too soon reveal</p>
<p>that much more to this life<br/> awaits behind the sheen<br/> of the rewards of strife<br/>
and calculated mien</p>
<p>so that knowing the shame<br/> of the superficial<br/> would suffice to shun fame<br/>
for what's beneficial</p>
<p>was it not all written<br/> in the celestial script<br/> that thy fruit was smitten<br/>
and destined to the crypt</p>
<p>as it was not the yield<br/> of pure inspiration<br/> but was bred in the field<br/>
of selfish intention</p>
<p>so that from its demise<br/> a new strength could emerge<br/> a new life could arise<br/>
a new world could converge</p>Land's Endtag:indiespace.ning.com,2020-03-20:2082437:BlogPost:440692020-03-20T14:58:29.000ZChristopher Stewarthttp://indiespace.ning.com/profile/ChristopherStewart

<p>once, there was a guy named Gus. and although Gus was without a passion, Gus's head liked to think that Gus was a passionate guy. Gus's head also liked to think that it was bright. in fact, Gus's head just liked to think.</p>
<p>through apparently fortuitous circumstances, Gus was lonely most of the time. often, during that time, mostly because it just liked to think, Gus's head would think. and often, sadly, during that time, Gus's head would think that Gus was lonely most of the time. and often, sadly, mostly because it liked to think that Gus was a passionate guy, Gus's head would think that Gus was lonely most of the time, and do so with a passion. and, at those times, Gus's heart, which was infinitely wiser than Gus's head, and knew that Gus was never really alone, would thus prompt Gus to feel sad, and often, do so with a passion, so as to discourage Gus's head to keep on thinking those thoughts. but Gus's head, which all things considered was indeed bright, though not that bright, just kept on thinking those thoughts, mostly because it just liked to think. Gus's head also kept on thinking that it was bright.</p>
<p>Gus lived in a town where other people lived too. and the other people living in Gus's town liked to talk about Gus. in fact, the other people living in Gus's town just liked to talk. sometimes, some of them would even talk about the fact that, most of the time, most of them were passionate about talking.</p>
<p>through apparently fortuitous circumstances, when he was not around, which meant most of the time, sadly, and mostly because they just liked to talk, when the people would talk about Gus, they would refer to Gus as sad Gus. and often, during that time, sadly, the people would talk about how sad Gus was sad and lonely. sometimes, some of them would even talk about how, most of the time, sad Gus was sad and was without a passion. and as a consequence, sadly, most of the time, most of the other people living in Gus's town were not inclined to spend time with sad Gus.</p>
<p>once, through apparently fortuitous circumstances involving accidental food poisoning, Gus's head, mostly because it just liked to think, thought it would be a good idea to think more about mushrooms. and, mostly because it liked to think that Gus was a passionate guy, Gus's head thought it would be a good idea to think more about mushrooms, and do so with a passion. and, at that time, Gus's heart, which was infinitely wiser than Gus's head, and knew that what Gus really needed was to have some fun, some of the time, seized the moment and prompted Gus to feel passionate about the prospect of cultivating his own morels. Gus's head, which all things considered was indeed bright, though not that bright, just thought it just had had another good idea, mostly because it just liked to think. and, mostly because it liked to think that Gus was a passionate guy, Gus's head thought it would be a good idea for Gus to cultivate his own morels, and do so with a passion.</p>
<p>thus, Gus started cultivating his own morels. Gus's head quickly realized that Gus had great fun cultivating morels, and that Gus could do so with a passion. Gus's head also realized that by cultivating his own morels, Gus cultivated his own morale. and thus, often, happily, during that time, mostly because it just liked to think, Gus's head would think that it was a good idea for Gus to keep on cultivating his own morels. and thus, often, happily, mostly because it liked to think that Gus was a passionate guy, Gus's head thought it would be a good idea for Gus to keep on cultivating his own morels, and do so with a passion. and, at those times, Gus's heart, which was infinitely wiser than Gus's head, and knew that what Gus really needed was to have some fun, some of the time, would thus prompt Gus to feel happy, so as to encourage Gus's head to keep on thinking those thoughts. and thus Gus's head, which all things considered was indeed bright, though not that bright, just kept on thinking those thoughts, mostly because it just liked to think. Gus's head also kept on thinking that it was bright.</p>
<p>thus, through apparently fortuitous circumstances, happily, and mostly because they just liked to talk, when the other people living in Gus's town would talk about Gus, they would talk about his morels, and his morale, and refer to Gus as fun Gus. and often, during that time, happily, the people would talk about how fun Gus was fun and fun to be with. sometimes, some of them would even talk about how, most of the time, fun Gus was happy and was passionate about his morels. and as a consequence, happily, most of the time, most of the people living in Gus's town were inclined to spend time with fun Gus.</p>
<p>and thus, through apparently fortuitous circumstances, happily, most of the time, out of sad Gus's passionate feeling for growing fungus grows fun Gus with a passion.</p>
<p>and thus it is said that absence makes the heart grow fungus.</p>
<p>(well, it is mostly the other people living in Gus's town who like to say so. they also like to say that Gus's head thinks so too. sometimes, some of them even say that it possibly does so because it just likes to think, and do so with a passion. but you know them, they just like to talk. in fact, if that saying actually holds true, it must only do so in Gus's heart, as only hearts can hold truth.)</p>Vintage Postal Stamp ( Poem )tag:indiespace.ning.com,2014-09-23:2082437:BlogPost:352002014-09-23T21:40:02.000ZDoris Anne Beaulieuhttp://indiespace.ning.com/profile/DorisAnneBeaulieu

<p>Children’s favorite shows are of animals<br/> I have hours in a playlist that are laughable<br/>
Like a camera pecking rooster and fun monkeys<br/>
To a mom and a baby miniature donkeys</p>
<p>Videos of wild turkeys and charming geese<br/> Ducks in water and chicks learning to speak<br/>
Dazzling ostrich and many free birds<br/>
Some you would not want to move towards</p>
<p>A large unique animal is the alligator<br/> The total opposite of the caterpillar<br/>
Camels and alpacas are tall and exquisite<br/>
But they spit at you when you try to visit</p>
<p>There are also hornpout and catfish videos<br/> and a painted box turtle that is really slow<br/>
Beautiful miniature horses and elegant ponies<br/>
Border collies herding sheep to earn their trophies</p>
<p>Little kids pig scramble is stunning to see<br/> and a little fawn as precious as can be<br/>
Cow’s hair that needs braiding is fascinating<br/>
With the most assortment you’ve ever seen</p>
<p>Come to my view with me youtube channel<br/> If the kids are being hard to handle<br/>
Just start it up and walk away<br/>
To get your housework done for the day</p>

<p>Incompetence of the Town of Smithfield<br/> Smithfield is a small community that is a nice quiet place to relax, play and live. Our town was incorporated on February 29, 1840 making it "Maine's only Leap Year Town". There are many things that make this town an enjoyable place, but lately the people hired in the town office have made it a difficult place to live. Specifically the selectmen Richard A. Moore, Dale M. Churchill, and Justin S. Furbush have chosen to neglect their responsibilities and turned their back on the people who have made complaints about Kincaid contractors who have been completely destroying mailboxes when plowing the roads.<br/>
In my own case, my mailbox has been damaged multiple times just this year. This last time it was hit, the post was completely split in half and the entire mailbox was thrown far into the bank, while all my mail was thrown out of it and blown all over from the wind. I still do not know if I collected all my mail from that and I have important matters that I had been waiting to hear about. I called the town to have them replace the mailbox and they were rude stating that if they replaced mine they would have to replace 80 to 90 other mailboxes. This indicates to me that this is a reoccurring problem for many in the town. They also stated that if they had<br/>
to pay they would increase taxes, which that really means that we would have to pay for their mistakes.<br/>
As a disabled, elderly person on a fixed income I do not have the money to replace the mailbox myself. Before every winter I would collect stamps so that I could just get my bills by mail and pay for them by mail so that I would not have to drive and still not depend on others, but now I am left with the choice of depending on others to get my mail for me at the post office or risk the trip myself where I could fall on ice and break a hip easily, since scans show that my bones are in the age range of 90 to 100 years old, every day. It has completely taken my independence and safety away from me. This causes a lot of stress on me when I already have high blood pressure and was told by my doctor to avoid stress because it would kill me.<br/>
When talking with the state policemen, he stated that I was absolutely right to make the town pay for the mailbox and that his town pays for the damages of mailboxes by the plowmen they hire. He also stated that unfortunately there wasn’t anything he could do because different towns have different laws and that the guy plowing didn’t intend to hit the mailbox. I am starting to wonder why any insurance company would pay for any accidents then. If the people who have accidents are really not responsible because it was an “accident” and not intentional then we shouldn’t need insurance at all because we shouldn’t have to pay, right? That is how they<br/>
look at it when it comes to the town, so why not for everyone? Why does the town get special treatment? Why are they above the law?<br/>
I talked to the postal service to see if I was wrong because maybe my mailbox was not following codes, but they explained that my mailbox was perfect. It was the perfect height and distance from the road in order to not cause obstruction and still have the mailman deliver the mail without leaving his vehicle. I soon after called the attorney general office and they stated that the responsibility is on the town. It is up to them to pay for either by paying themselves or having Kincaid pay. Kincaid is supposed to have insurance that would cover this. So why have they not got in touch with Kincaid and explain that the damages need to be paid for? Why do they neglect their responsibilities and the people in the town? How long should they be allowed to get away with this kind of behavior?<br/>
Laws need to be made to hold all towns responsible for the people they contract with. The town needs to be treated just like everyone else. If an accident occurs, they need to take responsibility and not hide behind their authority. They should not be allowed to live above the law.<br/>

<br/><p>« <em>The Miracle Is Worth The Wait</em> » was the 2nd song written for the « <em>30 Songs for the Sunny Season</em> » project, and was completed on January 8, 2013.<br/></p>
<p>The inspiration for this opus came from conversations held with David, a somewhat peculiar fellow with whom I was sharing living spaces earlier this year. To the best of my memory, the first words he ever spoke to me were « I can guarantee world peace. » Obviously, the statement got my attention and I just had to know more about him. I eventually learned that he was on a mission to build an ultralight, and that, assuming I correctly understood his long-winded stories, world peace would be achieved upon completion of the aircraft. That particular causality remains to be seen, but one thing for sure, there was something strangely beautiful about how he just kept going against overwhelming odds.<br/></p>
<p>It sometimes seems as if many of us have to build an ultralight of some sort, which will somehow transport us to our ideal. David definitely could trust that it was his fate to fly above the hill. Can you believe it is yours ?<br/></p>
<p>The version embedded above was released earlier this year on the « <em>The Abode Of The Blessed</em> » EP.<br/></p>
<p><em><br/> <b>verse 1</b><br/>
aviator you're working still<br/>
to build your ultralight<br/>
when it will fly above the hill<br/>
the bird will destroy the night<br/>
<br/>
there's a new world to establish<br/>
a new order to crystallize<br/>
a skyward ladder to finish<br/>
an uprising to organize<br/>
<br/>
you're pushing hard, we've seen you go<br/>
you will get there in the long run<br/>
dismiss your doubts you have to know<br/>
that you'll have your time in the sun<br/>
<br/>
<b>verse 2</b><br/>
jerusalem opens its gates<br/>
to let you see the golden tree<br/>
that patiently for you awaits<br/>
you will claim it when you are free<br/>
<br/>
today tomorrow is unclear<br/>
yet it's no reason to worry<br/>
to get to the dream that's so dear<br/>
surrender to uncertainty<br/>
<br/>
never give up you shining star<br/>
don't give in to the daily gloom<br/>
joy of this life heals every scar<br/>
and ripens each fruit to full bloom<br/>
<br/>
<b>verse 3</b><br/>
aviator you're working still<br/>
to build your ultralight<br/>
when it will fly above the hill<br/>
the bird will destroy the night<br/>
<br/>
<b>chorus</b><br/>
hone your feathers and keep your smile<br/>
you have a date with destiny<br/>
steady go for the extra mile<br/>
and you will soar to liberty<br/>
can you trust that it's your fate<br/>
the miracle is worth the wait<br/>
<br/>
<b>bridge</b><br/>
onward to complete harmony<br/>
at heaven's door often you've knocked<br/>
all of the time never knowing<br/>
that the entrance was never locked<br/>
<br/>
<b>last chorus</b><br/>
hone your feathers and keep your smile<br/>
you have a date with destiny<br/>
steady go for the extra mile<br/>
and you will soar to liberty<br/>
can you trust that it's your fate<br/>
though the road might not be straight<br/>
can it ever be too late<br/>
the miracle is worth the wait<br/>

<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://poligraf.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/444px-abalone_with_conical_pearl.jpg?w=444" alt=""/><br/> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(« <em><a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Abalone_with_conical_pearl.jpg" target="_blank">Natural Abalone with conical pearl</a></em> » by Worldexplorer82)</span><br/>
<br/>
</p>
<p>« <em>Mother Of Pearl</em>» was the last song written in the location where the music for the « <em>The Abode Of The Blessed</em> » EP was composed. Yet, arguably, considering the clear stylistic and thematic distinctions between this opus and the pieces that preceded it, they probably shouldn't belong on the same album. Assuming that I eventually get the chance to properly record the 8 songs and 8 instrumentals put together during that particular period, « <em>Mother Of Pearl</em>» will likely serve as closing track, announcing what's to come.<br/></p>
<p>In the context of the « <em>30 Songs for the Sunny Season</em> » series, « <em>Mother Of Pearl</em>» was the 8th song that I wrote. The music and most of the lyrics were completed by January 21, 2013, but I had no satisfactory words for the bridge until the beginning of May.<br/></p>
<p>The inspiration for the piece stems from how pearls come into being. When a microscopic intruder or parasite enters an oyster, it irritates the mollusk which secretes nacre, also called mother-of-pearl, to cover the undesirable and soothe itself. As the process is repeated and layers are added, a pearl is produced.<br/></p>
<p>However such occurrences can also be interpreted alternatively as follows : when the intelligence that unites and animates all beings needs a pearl, it finds a way to introduce an irritant into an oyster, which will then transform the source of pain into the sought beautiful object.<br/></p>
<p>When I look back on my life there is no doubt that the main incentive that has impelled me to create works of art throughout the years is a psychological trauma that I experienced as a teenager. In a manner similar to that of the oyster which soothes itself by adding layers of nacre onto the irritant, I healed my injured mind through repeated creative processes. Thus, conceivably, this might be one of the ways using which the intelligence underlying all things develops works of art, by creating the conditions that compel beings into action. And considering how ill-equipped I was to face the distressing event when it occurred, it seems plausible that this is also how artists are goaded towards maturity, carrying within themselves the motivation that urges them to give expression to what's in them.<br/></p>
<p><em><br/> <b>verse 1</b><br/>
told love was forbidden<br/>
i used to play the fool<br/>
hopeless and angst-ridden<br/>
yet in me you saw the jewel<br/>
<br/>
you cared to make me wise<br/>
led me to the river<br/>
made sure i saw the prize<br/>
across the great water<br/>
<br/>
<b>verse 2</b><br/>
with a dream to fulfil<br/>
and a heart to restore<br/>
i rowed like a windmill<br/>
to reach the other shore<br/>
<br/>
you oversaw the tide<br/>
i sought stability<br/>
through this purposeful ride<br/>
i grew in adversity<br/>
<br/>
<b>verse 3</b><br/>
looking back i'm aware<br/>
each moment every day<br/>
you have always been there<br/>
with me on the journey<br/>
<br/>
years of battle upstream<br/>
out of the days of yore<br/>
you are the constant theme<br/>
the ever open door<br/>
<br/>
<b>pre-chorus</b><br/>
you shape me<br/>
make me all<br/>
i can be<br/>
show me the<br/>
better me<br/>
whoa-oh-oh<br/>
<br/>
<b>chorus</b><br/>
you know how to make me pure<br/>
see me through the whirl<br/>
orchestrate the cure<br/>
o mother of pearl<br/>
<br/>
my all-embracing oyster<br/>
take me in your swirl<br/>
add another layer<br/>
o mother of pearl<br/>
<br/>
<b>bridge</b><br/>
feed me your potion mother of pearl<br/>
relieve my tensions mother of pearl<br/>
rouse my devotion mother of pearl<br/>
show me the ocean<br/>

<br/>
</p>
<p>« <em>Perfect Magic</em> » is the 9th opus penned for the « <em>30 Songs for the Sunny Season</em> » project. It was completed on February 6, 2013, and is the first new piece to follow the compositional rush that led to the « <em>The Abode Of The Blessed</em> » EP.<br/></p>
<p>The lyrics were written in an « everything happens for a reason » frame of mind and aim to hint at how each and every life, even the apparently disadvantaged, is blessed with the loving support of the underlying intelligence that unites and animates all beings.<br/></p>
<p>Although they are presented as separated in written form, the pre-chorus really evolves into the chorus, both lyrically and musically, and so the boundary between the two is not that clear-cut when I perform it. The current structure is basically verse -> pre-chorus -> chorus which means that the pre-chorus -> chorus sequence is heard four times overall. I'm sometimes under the impression that this might be one time too many, so the song will probably be edited before it is properly recorded.<br/></p>
<p>« <em>Perfect Magic</em> » has the distinction of often serving as icebreaker whenever I go play in public places. Not that it is the easiest song of my repertoire, but it surely is one I am most comfortable playing.<br/></p>
<p><em><br/> <b>verse 1</b><br/>
in this infinite world there's a man named Joe<br/>
really he's a boy with a thirst to know<br/>
when it was time for school he had no chance to go<br/>
it's so tough when you're coy to get out of skid row<br/>
<br/>
<b>verse 2</b><br/>
in this infinite world there's a woman named Lynn<br/>
really she's a girl whose broken heart has caved in<br/>
the onions and the garlic she overeats everyday<br/>
are no treats for her health but it keeps most people away<br/>
<br/>
<b>verse 3</b><br/>
in this infinite world there's a prime minister<br/>
people will tell you that he's an impostor<br/>
they haven't realized that indeed he is there<br/>
only to spur them to rise against all that's unfair<br/>
<br/>
<b>verse 4</b><br/>
in this infinite world all is in its good place<br/>
and everything unfolds at the proper pace<br/>
miracles occur as we intertwine<br/>
apparently apart but part of yours is part of mine<br/>
<br/>
<b>pre-chorus</b><br/>
yet it's hard to outgrow<br/>
what you're unaware of<br/>
when you're blind as life shows<br/>
the true meaning of love<br/>
<br/>
<b>chorus</b><br/>
that there's a cause for all things<br/>
and it's understanding<br/>
that it's part of the plan<br/>
try to trust 'til you can<br/>
<br/>
life will never forsake<br/>
whichever road you pick<br/>
at the best time you will awake<br/>
to this perfect magic<br/>

<p>The 23rd song written for the « <em>30 Songs for the Sunny Season</em> » project is entitled « <em>A Tide Of Positive Change</em> » and was completed on March 24th, 2013.<br/></p>
<p>The aim here was to come up with an inspiring and energetic song that can uplift the listener into an optimistic frame of mind. Considering the comments offered so far when I played it in public spaces, I'd venture to say that this particular objective has been achieved.<br/></p>
<p>No audio nor video clips are available at this point as my game plan for this summer is to make the most of the sunny days and go out busking as often as practicable. In my crystal ball I can foresee myself switching into demo-producing mode sometime around mid-September. That being said, if you've been following my activities of the last few years or so, you know how reliable my crystal ball can be. But there's always hope, right ?<br/></p>

never lose sight of the plot<br/>

<p>Basically, the main point of the song is that most-if-not-all experiences, apparent catastrophes included, can be interpreted positively as opportunities for growth.<br/></p>
<p>Again, I plan to repost the following lyrics with an audio or video clip when time allows for the recording and production of proper demos.<br/></p>
<p><em><br/> <b>verse 1</b><br/>

you've bitten lemons<br/>
you've bitten limes<br/>

you were waiting for an answer<br/>
an opening on the future<br/>
you couldn't stick to the letter<br/>
no advancing for the sinner<br/>
<br/>
<b>pre-chorus 3</b><br/>
you've heard the sermons<br/>
you wrote the rhymes<br/>
to kill your demons<br/>
life took its time<br/>
<br/>
<b>verse 4</b><br/>
you were hoping to get a chance<br/>
to find a friend to share a dance<br/>
no one could get past your first glance<br/>
for the heartless there's no romance<br/>
<br/>
<b>pre-chorus 4</b><br/>
you've seen the omens<br/>
magic sublime<br/>
to kill your demons<br/>

<p>At some point during this past winter, I thought it would be interesting to see if I could come up with a bunch of songs that I could play on my own, without the need of a backing band. I had always wanted to try my luck at busking, but because of the demands of Poligraf, I never really had the chance to build a repertoire of original songs that require only guitar and vocals, without additional arrangements. Eventually I imagined that 30 songs would be enough, so I set out to write as much in time for the sunny season, and actually reached that goal on June 27th, when I completed the words to « <em>67th Heaven</em>. »<br/></p>
<p>« <em>Pacify</em> » is the fifth song that I wrote for this project. I chose to share this one first because I especially like how it turned out, not only in terms of contents, but also in how the poetry is structured and how the verses are linked together. The lyrics follow below. Possibly, I will republish them later with an audio or video clip if I can find some time to record demos, but for now I hope you enjoy the words as much as I do.<br/></p>
<p><em><br/> <b>verse 1</b><br/>
no aces up your sleeve<br/>
you didn't have your way<br/>
no luck you're stuck<br/>
peace is kept at bay<br/>
<br/>
unwilling to receive<br/>
the lesson of the day<br/>
fate daunts life wants<br/>
a price too high to pay<br/>
<br/>
you're inclined to leave<br/>
however if you stay<br/>
maybe you'll see<br/>
further shades of grey<br/>
<br/>
you'll find no reprieve<br/>
dwelling on what is wrong<br/>
hold on be strong<br/>
<br/>
<b>verse 2</b><br/>
a future misconceived<br/>
has brought you to dismay<br/>
aligned you'll find<br/>
distress goes away<br/>
<br/>
the mirror will relieve<br/>
as you meet it halfway<br/>
express no less<br/>
than you're afraid to say<br/>
<br/>
and if you don't deceive<br/>
it will never betray<br/>
progress confess<br/>
in all naiveté<br/>
<br/>
of faults it will bereave<br/>
and false views it will sway<br/>
make do be you<br/>
<br/>
<b>verse 3</b><br/>
you don't have to grieve<br/>
if you don't go astray<br/>
stick to true blue<br/>
and remember to play<br/>
<br/>
there will be greener leaves<br/>
in the month of may<br/>
all you went through<br/>
sunshine will allay<br/>
<br/>
and if you can't believe<br/>
it doesn't hurt to pray<br/>
maybe you'll see<br/>
it's a better way<br/>
<br/>
life its tapestry weaves<br/>
its wisdom to convey<br/>
endure be pure<br/>
<br/>
<b>chorus</b><br/>
ongoing and hardly fully told<br/>
the making of our hearts of gold<br/>
amazing how you play your part<br/>
echoing pacify my heart<br/>
<br/>
amazing how you pacify my heart<br/>
echoing how you pacify my heart<br/>
amazing how you pacify my heart<br/>

<p>My publisher asked me to provide some advice for students hoping to enter the field of game development. Here are my tips:</p>
<p><strong>1. Stay informed.</strong> Follow industry blogs and other outlets such as <em>Develop Magazine, Edge Online, Gamasutra, </em>and <em>GamesIndustry.biz. </em>Keep up with the current trends, game launches, and all the “players”—including publishers, development studios (large and small), and hardware manufacturers.</p>

<p>My publisher asked me to provide some advice for students hoping to enter the field of game development. Here are my tips:</p>
<p><strong>1. Stay informed.</strong> Follow industry blogs and other outlets such as <em>Develop Magazine, Edge Online, Gamasutra, </em>and <em>GamesIndustry.biz. </em>Keep up with the current trends, game launches, and all the “players”—including publishers, development studios (large and small), and hardware manufacturers.</p>
<p><strong>2. Know yourself.</strong> Explore different game development roles—such as artist, designer, programmer, sound designer, tester, and producer. Understand <em>why </em>you decided to study game development in the first place. What are your strengths? The game development process can be a grueling experience at times—so you’d better <em>love </em>what you do! Don’t pursue just <em>any </em>game development position; only focus on those you can imagine doing <em><em>everyday.</em></em></p>
<p><strong>3. Explore more.</strong> This might seem like it’s diametrically opposed to #2 above, but consider expanding your horizons by stepping out of the box and trying something new. If you’ve never experimented with sound, make some field recordings and edit them. If you’ve never written dialogue, create a scene featuring two characters that are extremely different from you. Take a chance on something new.</p>
<p><strong>4. Show off.</strong> When you’re ready to knock on doors, so to speak, you’d better have something that will “wow” prospective employers. Make sure your online portfolio is impeccable—and devoid of spelling errors and clunky layout snafus. Don’t create a “cookie cutter” system that looks like every other game portfolio out there. This is the time to focus on your strengths—while letting your personality shine through!</p>
<p><strong>5. Don’t wait.</strong> Why wait until you graduate when you can get a head start with an internship or project? If your school has an internship program, participate in it. If there’s a special course that allows you to work on a real-world team project, take it. If there’s a game development club at school, join it. If none of the above is readily available, create your own opportunities. Participate in a contest such as the Independent Games Festival. Start a side project and scout for team members online. Make it happen!</p>

<p><span>In 2003, while speaking at the University of Southern California’s Teaching, Learning & Technology conference, I noticed more than a few visibly uncomfortable educators in the audience. I had recently completed my Master’s thesis on using massively multiplayer online games (MMOs) as online distance learning applications—and I was providing a summary of my findings. The notion of any game posing as a learning management system (LMS) was difficult enough for most to parse—especially at the time—but those who weren’t well versed in the workings of MMOs were even more bewildered. The idea involved simple economics: using one solution to address the following two problems: </span><br/> <br/> <span>1) Online distance learning tools were cumbersome at best—and clunky at worst. Although billed as “interactive,” these LMS platforms weren’t living up to the promise of providing immersive, experiential learning to students who had foregone the face-to-face interaction associated with onground classroom instruction.</span><br/> <br/> <span>2) MMOs attracted players who were willing to sacrifice much of their personal lives to ensure their availability 24/7 to complete quests, manage character stats, and confront “griefers.” This also posed an obvious problem: How many MMOs could possibly compete in the marketplace after just one (e.g., </span><em>World of Warcraft</em><span>) attracted the majority of players?</span><br/> <br/> <span> </span><img title="South Park's " src="http://www.gamasutra.com/db_area/images/downloads/WorldofWarcraft11.jpg" alt="South Park" width="300" height="232"/><span> </span><img title="The Guild (webisodic series)" src="http://www.gamasutra.com/db_area/images/downloads/guild5logo.jpg" alt="The Guild" width="232" height="232"/><br/> <em> South Park</em><span>'s Emmy award-winning "Make Love, Not </span><em>Warcraft</em><span>" (left) and popular web series </span><br/> <em> The Guild </em><span>(right) provide a glimpse into the traditional MMO gamer lifestyle.</span><br/> <br/> <span>The solution?</span><br/> <br/> <span>Turning the online classroom into an MMO would allow students to log onto an LMS that behaved like a game—and in turn, more game developers would have the opportunity to develop various MMOs for specific courses, programs, and educational institutions—thereby widening the MMO market.</span><br/> <br/> <span>A few years later, I attempted to address these issues in a project that involved </span><em>Second Life (SL) </em><span>and a team of educators, students, and industry volunteers. The idea was to create a virtual environment that could be accessed by students as a course. In that environment, students would become players—focusing on solving narrative mysteries tied to gameplay systems that were quite sophisticated at the time . . . especially when embedded in a multi-user virtual environment (MUVE) such as </span><em>SL</em><span>. Our team pushed the envelope—from the art to the scripting. The project was ahead of its time; again, the notion of learning within a game environment was beyond comprehension—even though our tech team provided a “bridge” by writing code that allowed results from </span><em>SL</em><span> to feed into the LMS.</span><br/> <br/> <span> </span><img title="Second Life project (exterior)" src="http://www.gamasutra.com/db_area/images/blog/188090/SL.jpg" alt="Second Life " width="275" height="161"/><span> </span><img title="Second Life project (interior)" src="http://www.gamasutra.com/db_area/images/blog/188090/gic-cover.jpg" alt="Second Life" width="250" height="161"/><br/> <span> Our </span><em>Second Life</em><span> project (exterior of building during construction, left; interior portion of </span><br/> <span> one floor during polish, right) pushed the MUVE envelope in 2007. </span><br/> <br/> <span>To this day, the two problems outlined above have not been resolved—for the most part. Even though I’m no longer actively directing or teaching online programs, I hear complaints from students worldwide on their extreme disappointment with the online distance learning process. These concerns are the same as they were 10 years ago: copious onscreen text, arcane file incompatibility issues, and unnecessary “busy work” leading to participation points. Some students will “cheat” the system by simply logging on for the required length of time, waiting for others to make comments, and chiming in with brief platitudes of mutual agreement.</span><br/> <br/> <span>The good news is that many developers and educators alike have embraced in the alternately lauded and derided term, gamification—incorporating its associated toolset into the onground classroom. My hope is that this state of mind will fuel a paradigm shift to online distance learning solutions as well.</span><br/> <br/> <span>Here are some thoughts on how educators can use games as instructional tools in all types of classrooms: </span><br/> <br/> <em>Level 1: Playing to Teach</em><span>: Educators should play games in a variety of genres—becoming sleuths as they uncover engaging elements of play. Consider these questions: What keeps you relentlessly and repeatedly launching those birds toward their snorting foes? What compels you to play several word games simultaneously—with friends or total strangers? What makes you dream of orcs and miniature army men in combat? Now consider this: Assume that every game is a teaching tool . . . even if by accident. Take a look at any game. What are you learning at every turn—even if it’s “stealthy” or covert? If you can figure this out, you’re in the right mindset. </span><br/> <br/> <span> </span><img title="Angry Birds soaring" src="http://www.gamasutra.com/db_area/images/downloads/Angry_Birds_Friends.jpg" alt="Angry Birds" width="293" height="165"/><span> </span><img title="Advance Wars battlefield" src="http://www.gamasutra.com/db_area/images/downloads/advance006.jpg" alt="Advance Wars" width="247" height="165"/><br/> <em> Angry</em> <em>Birds</em>: <span>soaring toward a destination? Why do I dream of miniature army men?</span><br/> <span> (Black Panther 55 [aka Albert Junior Joliffe]) (</span><em>Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising</em><span>)</span><br/> <em><br/> Level 2: Learning to Game</em><span>: Educators must think like game designers. In fact, educators in all disciplines should take game design classes focusing specifically on gameplay and game mechanics. (Narrative is part of all this, but that’s an entirely separate blog post!) Even when limited by the tools at their disposal, educators should explore engaging alternatives involving game design principles.</span><br/> <br/> <em>Level 3: Creating the Experience</em><span>: Educators should consider creating serious games for their students. At the risk of bringing up the term again, an initial step might involve gamifying the classroom—which has actually been accomplished by many successful educators long before the word was coined; this might involve a reward system and team competition (including coopetition within teams—where interdependency and cooperation are required to define a single winner). Tools might include anything from collecting, gifting, prizes, and resource management to higher-level challenges involving leadership skills and problem solving. The final step would involve creating an original, customized serious game—taking into account the needs associated with the students and subject matter. In the Summer of 2011 and 2012, I worked with groups at Lehigh Carbon Community College and the University of Southern California’s Information Sciences Institute, respectively (both of which received National Science Foundation grants for these activities and related research), to help educators (primarily in mathematics) do just this. There is keen interest in this area—and educators should explore these options as part of their ongoing professional development. Some educators have taken this a step further and have assigned serious game development projects to their own students.</span><br/> <br/> <span> </span><img title="PedGames Workshop - brainstorming" src="http://www.gamasutra.com/db_area/images/blog/188090/pedgames-lecture.jpg" alt="PedGames Workshop" width="250" height="188"/><span> </span><img title="PedGames Workshop - huddle" src="http://www.gamasutra.com/db_area/images/blog/188090/pedgames-huddle.jpg" alt="PedGames Workshop" width="282" height="188"/><br/> <span>PedGames Workshop (Summer 2012) with USC's Information Sciences Institute: brainstorming </span><br/> <span>(left) and "executive producers" huddle (R Talwani, J Novak, J Kim, E Shaw).</span><br/> <br/> <span>Although “serious” is the accepted standard term to denote games that are intentionally created for non-entertainment purposes (e.g., education, marketing, health, recruitment), keep in mind that all successful games must be fun—or they’ll fail. I would argue that serious games have the burden of being even more enjoyable and engaging than traditional, commercial games: Not only do they sometimes compete in the commercial marketplace, but they have more sophisticated end goals (involving specific learning outcomes)—which means that losing even one player translates into a much more painful “fail.” Make sure that learning components of a serious game are embedded rather than inserted so that you don’t end up with a “Franken-game” reminiscent of the unsuccessful edutainment era.</span><br/> <br/> <img title="Frankenstein jigsaw puzzle" src="http://www.gamasutra.com/db_area/images/blog/188090/frankengame.jpg" alt="Frankenstein" width="300" height="234"/><span> </span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Believe it or not (and if you do, please help me believe it too), but I just published an album. It's a 4-song EP entitled «<em> <a href="http://poligraf.bandcamp.com/album/the-abode-of-the-blessed">The Abode Of The Blessed</a> </em>» that I recorded in an overnight session last weekend and produced this past week.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But first things first. Before I go into more details about the music, here's the abridged version of what happened since my last post.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After publishing « <em> Takers Economy </em> » at the end of August, I spent most of the following two months distributing and promoting it on the internet. The task was daunting and the progress was slow at first, but the process eventually yielded positive results.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Then I took a little time off, and I do mean off. I escaped to the countryside for about two weeks, where I mostly rested and dreamt about the next phase of my life. There was a lot of music making in those reveries. Far away from the city, I especially enjoyed the silence and the night skies. It had been a long while since I had last seen that many stars.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The return to civilization did not unfold quite as I had expected, and I finally had a chance to compose more music, and was even offered the opportunity to record some of it, which I gratefully accepted. The last few years had been dedicated to writing novels and essays, and so it felt very good to come back to music again. Indeed, I experienced it as a kind of rebirth, and so it was only apt that the classical guitar I had access to during this unexpected passage was a Renaissance model.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Over the course of my residency thus far, I wrote sixteen new compositions, eight songs and eight instrumentals, that I hope to release as a full-length album in the near future. I would have liked to produce them all here, but the tight recording window forced me to choose only a few.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The original plan was to record at least five of the compositions, and keep the four best tracks for the present EP. However, time constraints and technology determined which songs ultimately made it on the album.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The music is miles away from what I usually write. The pieces are basically folk songs that I believe most will categorize in the «<em> singer-songwriter </em>» genre. There are no intricate arrangements, it's just my voice and the nylon-string guitar. One thing for sure, it's a definite change of pace from the prog rock extravaganzas that I typically come up with.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Life being what it is, it looks like that will have to be it for now. I must run, really.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The album is <a href="http://poligraf.bandcamp.com/album/the-abode-of-the-blessed">available in various e-formats via Bandcamp</a>. The description follows below. Thanks in advance for your support. I hope you enjoy the songs !</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Does heaven really exist ?</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><em>Some insist that it does, yet others seem to think that there cannot be such a place.</em></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><em>I have been searching for paradise for most of my life, and on several occasions I actually thought I had discovered it, but in hindsight I'm not sure I can claim to have been very successful. Or in any case, that's what I used to reckon until I tried to resign myself to the unacceptable conclusion that it was merely a fanciful invention, and considered that I would never find it. That's about when I happened to stumble upon its hall.</em></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><em>I definitely wasn't looking for anything of the sort when I was offered to stay in this surprising location. Nor was I quite certain of where I was at first. However, after various eye-opening occurrences, it finally struck me that I very possibly have reached the vestibule to heaven. Apparently, the blessed come and go to this uncanny domain, some to rest for a while, and others to perform their angelic duties.</em></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><em>I haven't been officially admitted to paradise yet, so I'm only speculating, but it would appear that some of the guests here are waiting to be granted access. Or more precisely, we have a challenge to overcome before we are allowed to move onward.</em></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><em>« The Abode Of The Blessed » documents my unexpected sojourn in this enchanting mansion, this antechamber of the promised land, were I received much support, was taught important lessons, and experienced many validations of prior understandings.</em></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><em>The songs depict the task that I must discharge, some of the dwellers, and their own trials and tribulations. The music aims to provide inspiration and encouragement to those who have to go through a similar process.</em></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><em>All in all, having seen this place that feels like a gateway to paradise, it looks very likely that there's a heaven. So here I am, advancing into the unknown, all the while attempting to leave footprints behind so you can find your way too.</em></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><em>Onward, beautiful dreamer !</em></em></p>My Intereststag:indiespace.ning.com,2012-10-30:2082437:BlogPost:299032012-10-30T08:15:27.000ZDoris Anne Beaulieuhttp://indiespace.ning.com/profile/DorisAnneBeaulieu

<p>I am a fifty-eight year old lady. I am a mother of five and I have eight grandchildren. Through my lifetime I have tried my hand at book publishing and screenplay writing, but I find myself enjoying my new hobby now that the kids are grown of making videos to show work that I have done and extend my obsession with photography in video form. <br/> I first started with a youtube channel under Dorisanne13. On top of doing short commercial videos about my screenplays I have now proceeded to expand out into cooking videos. So if you are interested in books or screenplays check those videos out and if you are into cooking I some up with many more videos to come.<br/>
I have started a second channel on youtube titled viewwithme showing many of the places I am viewing myself for the first time. My intent is to bring businesses to Maine by showing what Maine has to offer. Wanting the film industry to also join I have created over two-thousand videos of antiques involving anything from farm equipment to Model A Vehicles. The site also serves for a good purpose. For seniors that are homebound or just don’t get out much in the winter, it is helpful with reminiscing their past and hopefully sharing their personal experiences with family and friends. I am starting to add videos of big rigs and snowmobiles to address the young and active at heart. <br/>
So if any of this interest you, be sure to check my channels out. Also if you have a Twitter account, please add me, I am under Dorisanne. That way you can stay caught up on all the videos on both my channels and be sure to share a smile today.</p>
<p>Cheers!</p>
