Palm Springs, Florida (May 27, 2016) – G-Star School of the Arts Sophomore Tyler Grow was accepted into the NYU ASCAP film scoring workshop by the NYU Steinhardt Department of Music and Performing Arts Scoring for Film and Multimedia Program. According to the assistant to the Director and Chair, Ariel Marx at NYU, “There was an especially high volume of applicants this year and Tyler’s work stood out as particularly impressive”. Over the next several weeks he will have an opportunity to study under accomplished composers and music editors such as Nancy Allen (Music editor for: Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring), Michael Levine (Composer for: Cold Case, Close to Home, Star Wars: Detours, and the KIT KAT THEME), Sean Callery (Composer for TV shows: 24, Homeland, Elementary, and Bones). The program will culminate with a final critique session and screening of the HYBRID Recording Cues composed by Tyler Grow and other participants at the NYU Fredrick Lowe Theatre at 35th West 4th St., NYC, NY. This is Tyler’s second year in a row composing and performing in this prestigious music program and is only one of two high school students ever invited to participate.
From the 2016 NYU/ASCAP Foundation Film Scoring Workshops web site:
In memory of Buddy Baker, the NYU/ASCAP Film Scoring Workshop will immerse participants in both classical Hollywood film scoring and the techniques of the modern scoring world. Led by industry professionals, dedicated sessions will address the creative process, orchestrating, conducting, music editing, and MIDI mockups. Participants can opt for one of two tracks – orchestral or hybrid – and choose a clip from a selection of rough cuts, representing a variety of genres. The workshop will culminate in a full day of recording sessions at NYU’s state of the art facilities, featuring New York City’s top-tier studio musicians. Previous workshops have included players from the NY Philharmonic and The Metropolitan Opera Orchestra.

It’s hard to imagine my life before kids. I used to always envision what it would be like to have children and here I am, lucky as ever… with a healthy boy and girl in tow. Some days are hard, I mean REAL hard. There are days you think will never end, days when you have to tell yourself over and over they are your purpose in life and days when you feel like a janitor, left to clean boogers, vomit, poop and pee. Sorry for the mental picture.
My credit card company – I’ll call them MoneyGrubbers to protect my editors – inspired this month’s column. I was a day late with my monthly payment, and they charged me $35! I pay my credit card on time, in full, every month. A few months ago, I had a visitor for a few weeks and was a bit late in paying bills. One day late! Big deal.
While Florida is indeed beautiful with tropical weather, it is our stunning beaches that allure and captivate international and national tourists. For those of use fortunate to live in paradise, we often take it for granted. Whether it is a leisurely stroll while watching the sun rise, playing volleyball in the sand or resting under an umbrella, the beach offers so much pleasure. That is unless the sands are littered with trash, the waters filled with plastic and dead marine animals washed up on the shore.
Other than the aforementioned, I really cannot see any benefit to an anesthesia-free teeth cleaning. Without anesthesia, there are many aspects of a quality dental that fall by the wayside. A thorough oral exam cannot be performed with a wake animal. Veterinary professionals need to gently probe the gum tissue surrounding each tooth in order to discover gingival pockets and determine their depth. Deep gingival pockets tell us whether there is loss of tooth attachment or bone loss which may compromise the integrity of the tooth. Masses in the oral cavity may be found on a thorough exam and could be otherwise missed if your pet is not cooperative. As far as the cleaning itself, plaque starts beneath the gum line and can be easily scaled when a pet is sound asleep. Polishing the teeth helps smooth the enamel’s surface of etchings left behind by the scaler and cannot be well-performed without anesthesia. Other treatments like extractions, mass removals, biopsies, antibiotic infusions and so on need anesthetics in order to be performed safely and properly. I haven’t even touched on the patient’s patience! Most animals (especially cats) are not tolerant of a teeth scaling while awake.

Or have you ever tried garlic when you were sick? Rather than eating raw garlic, aged garlic can deliver a more concentrated dose of its beneficial antioxidants (Benson). AGE supplementation is also associated with enhanced immune function and possibly, reduced severity of cold and flu infections. In one study, consumption of 2.56 grams of aged garlic extract per day for 45 days resulted in the proliferation and activation of immune cells like the NK cell (Percival). NK cells are known to help the body reject tumor or virally infected cells.
