Beyond what we've been able to teach in this series, PvP has a wealth of complex features, and much of this complexity results from the ongoing interaction of players, teams, skills, builds, and maps to create unexpected synergy or to flawlessly execute common strategies. Two teams, for example, can take the same build and play it differently, depending on individual player strengths, the tactical ability of the leader, the map, and the opposing team. We could try to describe the many intricacies of this process, but you'll have better luck by just jumping in and accumulating your own PvP experience.This final lesson in the Primer series offers some resources that can help you as you continue improving your PvP skills.

| | MusicDish | News Item | . by Mark Kirby, Whether you call it praise music or New Jack gospel, this genre is most often a classic case of "preaching to the choir," with song lyrics lifted artlessly from the King James bible and histrionic music calculated to "reach out and touch somebody's hand." Dear god. Luckily, Charles Laster II and Silvia Pratesi don't make this mistake on their new record Journey of Life. Their songs reference salvation, heaven, and living the Christian life but, like secular soul music, have an uplifting universality. Those of us who aren't Christian - agnostics, Muslims, those whose spirituality can't be pigeonholed - can still understand the positive spirituality that is the wellspring of Laster and Pratesi's music, and still get our groove on. Laster, who composed the excellent lyrics, and Pratesi, who created most of! the music with a seamless combination of live musicians and samples, remind us how gospel and rhythm and blues gave birth to soul music in the early sixties and how a new kind of s soul gospel christian pop music releases and reviews Read More... |

Sillada INTRODUCTION As a Filipino multi-media artist, I must humbly admit, I don't only compose and sing ethnic songs, needless to mention my ethno-techno compositions, but I also write and perform hip-hop music. But why Hip-hop? I. BRIEF HISTORY OF "PINOY HOP-HOP" Honestly, though, I am new to hip-hop culture especially to the so-called "Pinoy Hip-Hop", imported from America and became prominent in the Philippines via some Filipino mainstream artists in the 1980s, but suddenly lost momentum in the early 1990s, and later resurfaced in the late 1990s onwards. Among those forerunners of "new Filipino hip-hop generation" are young university college students who, out of disillusionment from authorities and the society, used hip-hop as a potent tool for protest and "self-expression". One of these progressive groups, some have already graduated with degrees, is called "AMPON" (Absolute Messages Personified Over Noise).

| | dcsillada | News Item | "There are two kinds of truths: those of reasoning and those of fact. The truths of reasoning are necessary and their opposite is impossible; the truths of fact are contingent and their opposites are possible." -Gottfried Leibnitz, Monadology In aesthetics, art is understood and presented as a revelation of truth. The word revelation comes from Latin "velum/revelare" which is, to unveil or disclose something that is hidden. It means that, in the beginning, something is concealed or being kept secret until an appropriate time is ripened for its disclosure. There are three essential elements in unveiling the truth: the knower, the object to be known and the tangible existence between the knower and the object to be known. Here, it is assumed that the first two elements of knowing the truth exist, otherwise, the presentation or disclosure of the unknown will never be revealed. In this case, the "object to be known" and the "knower" must exist and occupy space and time to complete the revelation. philippines performance art pipaf danny sillada Read More... |
| | dcsillada | News Item | The Heron’s Secret: Maxine Syjuco as Performance Artist "Modern art touches a sore spot, or several sore spots, in the ordinary citizen of which he is totally unaware. The more irritated he becomes at modern art the more he betrays the fact that he himself, and his civilization, are implicated in what the artist shows him." (William Barrett, Irrational Man) When the heron* walks before sundown on the rice field during summer, it is like a mythic figure from a distance. The dainty steps, the delicate white plumage, the well-defined long neck with tapering bill – creating an elegant step on the carabao** sludge as though it were a goddess coming down from her celestial garden. Gentle and placid, the heron would woo the carabao to let it ride on its back and pick the insects feasting on the latter’s skin covered with mire.

| | Jaci Rae | News Item | The winter months have hit us and unless you live in Southern California, most people aren’t swimming in open-air pools any longer. Until recent times, Indie Artists and the labels they set up for themselves had a hard time getting their music heard by anyone outside their own backyard pool of fans. With guerilla marketing finally becoming common practice and online music stores becoming a main stay for the music aficionado, record pools are now open for business to the general indie population.

In order for a DJ to belong to a record pool, they must pay a monthly association fee to obtain the latest and most current music. Frequently this music is available to t usa music makers dj Read More... |
