Differences are inevitable when two or more persons come together. It would be pointless and boring for two or more to come together if there are no differences. Some differences are pleasant; others can be disconcerting. Differences can accelerate to disharmony, conflict, competition, or war.

While a reasonable amount of conflict can be creative and enriching, conflict that is not properly managed can be harmful. Interpersonal conflicts as contrasted to conflicts of ideas or principles are in special need of careful management. Viewing conflict or disharmony as the expression of differences can help to take the fear from conflict. Of course, if it is a heated or emotionally charged conflict, just re-naming it is unlikely to defuse the charge. But it may be enough for you to find your place of harmony in the conflict.

Living in conscious harmony is like playing in a symphony and knowing that we are playing in a symphony. At any given moment, our section of the orchestra may be in temporary harmony or temporary disharmony. Both group members and musicians must have the conscious intention to strive for harmony without being discouraged by the momentary notes of disharmony that add interest to the experience.

The symphonys composer wrote a score which the conductor interprets and the musicians play with different instruments, in their own style, according to their ability. At some times, we are more aware of one instrument than another. Or we hear a solo or a duet.

When we listen deeply to the music, we notice space between the notes: rhythm. Colors and tones and volume add texture and interest: timbre. We have different responses to different parts: feelings.

Satisfaction increases when everyone in the orchestra reads at the same place on the same sheet of music. At some times, its important for a musician to play softly to blend with the rest of the sounds and add texture. At other times, its important to play loudly, even being the center of attention. Rhythms might change, even in the middle of a piece. Sounds might fight with each other to heighten drama before leading to resolution.

Joy happens when everyone perceives the symphony as all One, with each instrument playing an important part. In order to live in conscious harmony, we must embrace the concept that we are all One. Comparing the interactions of individuals in groups to a the interactions of musicians in a symphony or an orchestra can be powerful.

What is the song you will sing or the dance you will dance or the instrument you will play today?

I always have a hard time buying my significant other something for Valentine's Day. I hate to be the guy who always gets my Valentine's either flowers or chocolates year after year without putting any thought into the gift. If you're like me, here are some great gift ideas to show her how much you care!

1) Personalized Gifts

Personalized gifts are great ways to show how much thought you put into a gift. Be aware, however, as you usually need to order these items in advance to be sure to have the gift in hand when Valentine's Day rolls around. Whether it be jewelry, clothing, accessories, or accessories, personalized gifts offer a great gift idea!

2) Dance Lessons

Why not get a gift you can both enjoy? Dance lessons are not only fun and thoughtful, but you can also get exercise in while you're at it! If you haven't danced together before, it's a fun activity you can both enjoy doing together.

3) iTunes Gift Cards

Everybody needs a little more music in their lives. That's why a gift card to the Apple iTunes store goes a long way to give your Valentines something they can use! This gift might work best as a supplement to a Valentine's Day gift staple like flowers and/or chocolates.

4) Framed Picture

Nobody said spending money makes the gift better. Framing a treasured picture of both of you will go a long way and definitely earn points! Make sure your Valentine looks good in the picture!

Def Jam Recordings - TONE ARM T-shirt , Maroon

Def Jam was founded by Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin in Rubin's dorm room at New York University. The first releases on Def Jam Recordings were LL Cool J's I Need A Beat and the Beastie Boys' Rock Hard, both in 1984. The singles sold well, eventually lea

Muse is a three-piece band from the UK that plays rock music for future generations. They incorporate synth, distorted guitars, amazing bass lines and powerful drums to create music about this world and the worlds beyond this one. The band has previously released many albums and a live DVD. This second live DVD, called HAARP, includes a live CD of the performance at Wembley Stadium, and also features many of the band's instantly recognized songs, including "Starlight," "Knights of Cydonia," "Hysteria," "Supermassive Black Hole," and more!

This product offers a live concert in both audio and video form with both a CD and DVD recording of their live set at a packed Wembley Stadium from two sold-out performances in June 2007.. The quality is excellent in both audio and visual aspects. There are a few visual affects that enhance the performance, and at times you can hear the crowd singing along to the songs.

One of the great aspects of HAARP is that it showcases the range of the band's music and the powerful performances they are known to give. Fans of classical, metal, rock, pop, synth, dance and more will love this band and this DVD/CD set! Muse incorporates many types of music into their own style. They blend classical styles with very modern sounds and a touch of futuristic themes exist in the band's music, as well.

The quality of performance this band puts on is well-captured on this DVD & CD set. I had the pleasure of witnessing a live performance by Muse three years ago, and HAARP captures their live magic perfectly!

After purchasing this set myself, I've been listening to it over and over again! Those around me may soon tire of having this play on repeat, but I know I won't! That isn't to say HAARP has no downfalls. There is a lack of special features on the DVD, plus a few songs from the performance didn't make it to the final product. Still, it's worth the buy.

Muse has a tendency to make their audience feel magical, revolutionary and powerful, as only the music of this band can make you feel.

I believe any fan of the band will fall in love with this and also fans of music in general will appreciate it on many levels. It's also easy to see why Muse is so often called the best live act of our time. Not only do two sold out nights at Wembley Stadium attest to that claim, but the quality of the performance and the love of their fans also prove the claim to be quite true.
