How to Buy a Taylor Guitar for Your Child

Alchemy is the pseudoscientific predecessor of chemistry that sought a method of transmuting base metals into gold, an elixir to prolong life indefinitely, a panacea or universal remedy, and an alkahest or universal solvent. Ben Grippo (aka Benn Grim) is an Alchemist. Not in the sense of turning base metal into gold, but from being in a very dark, drug addicted place, to a now up and coming hip hop artist. He has no qualms about laying out all of his trials and tribulations, often with an excellent mix of humor, and at the same time letting people know he's not to be messed with. I've known Ben for quite some time, and regardless of whatever he was going through, he was always a good hearted dude. I feel free to speak about his substance abuse as I was there too, often times with him as we were in a band together. I'm really happy that Ben took the time to do some Q&A with The Indie Spiritualist as it's really inspiring for me to see where we both were, compared to where we are now.

Breaking down stereotypes is familiar territory for actress and author Julianne Moore.


In this summer’s hit The Kids Are Alright she portrayed a lesbian mom, but Moore says tolerance isn’t something her real life children Caleb, 12, and Liv Helen, 8½, need any instruction on.


“I think really, what you need to do, is live your life with that kind of reality,” she explains to CNN. “I think what everybody always says about raising children is you have to teach by example.”


To that end, Moore says she allows Caleb and Liv a realistic glimpse at “what’s going on in the world” while keeping in mind that “you have to work really hard to give a child a prejudice.”


“Children are naturally born without one,” she continues. “So, if the reality of gay families is kind of out there, if they see families living this way, then it’s completely natural and normal for them.”


Being at ease with themselves, however, is not so easy. In the Freckleface Strawberry series of children’s books Moore, 49, tackles the often difficult path to adolescent self-acceptance.


“Kids get to be about 7-years-old and suddenly, they’re like, ‘Hey, I’m taller than this kid,’ ‘My teeth are kind of big’ or ‘I don’t like my ears’ or this or that or the other thing, and it just breaks your heart,” she muses.  “Because you’re like, ‘No, oh my gosh, you’re perfect, how could you not think that?’”


With time, Moore says she adopted a “well, whatever” approach to her perceived imperfections. “I have other things to worry about and other things that are more important, like my family and my work and my friends,” she notes.

Great Moments In Opera, "Non So Piu Cosa Son, Cosa Faccio" From Mozart's Opera "Figaro"

The time has finally come for hip hop beats software to take over the music game. The fact that making beats can be so easy and affordable to do these days can be both a blessing and curse. For me, it was a blessing and I think for other producers who have spent thousands of dollars for bulky studio equipment, it may be a curse. Read on as I tell you why!
