More than 5,000 U of MN freshman took the field at TCF Bank Stadium to form a giant “M” during Welcome Week 2009, with the help of The Pride of Minnesota (the U’s marching band). The Class of 2013 was the first to set foot in the brand new stadium’s field.

Best Classic Rock Riffs

with 25 comments

NOTE: I FIND IT UNFAIR TO PUT THE SAME BAND TWO TIMES IN THE top 10 LIST!
I did a lot of research on this subject… These are NOT my favorites, but it is my list. I say the most known riffs are the best ones… Look, why else would the riffs be mostly known, because it’s a good riff. The more catchier it is, the more it stays in your head, right? But it has to be good, that makes you go with the flow. I went out to public, playing guitar, asking questions, if they ever heard these riffs… Also went on the internet looking at all the lists and ‘why’ they were chosen the best. I know earlier I said if it’s catchy it’s good, but it has to have a meaning and all these riffs do have a meaning, but if I saw riff in a list and the reason because was that it was catchy I wouldn’t accept it… And I got the list and did a few changes to make me happy, for my suiting. Let’s say the riffs are all mostly hard rock riffs, what the majority thinks what the best riffs are.

Best Online Universities: Part 3/3 concludes our series with Tools & Resources. This topic is one of the most important topics I will ever talk about. It is necessary to have the correct tools in place for your success. Resources have come a very long way, especially for the Online Learning Environment. A good Online University will have Tutors, Writing Labs and Digital Databases for your research. All three of these resources are vital in excelling to the next level with your degree program. Another major resource that I have only seen in select Online Universities is a Career-Developmental Service. These services will prepare you for life after you graduate and help develop your personal portfolio. The main goal of this service is to give you the most real world experience as possible before you graduate. Use all three videos presented in this series to help choose a good Online University to fit your needs.

Authors@Google: David Friedman

without comments

David Friedman visits Google’s Mountain View, CA headquarters to discuss his book “Future Imperfect: Technology and Freedom in an Uncertain World.” This event took place on September 3, 2008, as part of the Authors@Google series.

In his brand new work, Future Imperfect: Technology and Freedom in an Uncertain World, the famed economist David Friedman presents a variety of technological revolutions in the next 20 years and their implications. If dead could be brought alive, genes of the unborn could be picked and matched to a perfect combination, and robotic flies are the future of surveillance cameras, then what does this all mean for the traditional values and ideals our society is based on? Our passive consumption of evolving technology could lead to more or less privacy than we have ever known, freedom or slavery, effective immortality and radical changes in life, marriage, law, medicine, work, and play.

David D. Friedman is Professor of Law at Santa Clara University, California. After receiving a Ph.D. in theoretical physics at The University of Chicago, he switched fields to economics and taught at Virginia Polytechnic University, the University of California at Irvine, the University of California at Los Angeles, Tulane University, the University of Chicago, and Santa Clara University. A professional interest in the economics of law led to positions at the law schools of the University of Chicago and Cornell and thereafter to his present position, where he developed the course on legal issues of the twenty-first century, which led to his writing Future Imperfect.

Tennessee Rocky Top Tennessee Nashville TN Memphis Blues Art Photography Fine Arts

with 25 comments

A video of Tennessee history. The Tennessee Theme song Rocky top. There is so much spirit in Tennessee. Atlanta artist Corey Barksdale video about state of Tennessee. Corey Barksdale has lived in Atlanta for about 15 years and has become one of Atlanta’s premier artist. Corey Barksdale has exhibited his artwork at the Atlanta Dogwood festival, Decatur Art Festival, Virginia-Highlands Art Festival, National Black Art Festival, Atlanta Jazz Festival, Artsplosure in Raleigh North Carolina, Art Festival in Paducah, Kentucky, One of a Kind Show in Chicago, etc. Decatur, GA artist Corey Barksdale has painted for audiences in the city of Atlanta,

This video was created by Atlanta & Decatur Fine Artist Corey Barksdale. Please visit Corey’s website. http://www.coreybarksdale.com/

The song was written by a married couple, songwriters Felice and Boudleaux Bryant. They wrote “Rocky Top” in only ten minutes in 1967. The Bryants were working in Gatlinburg on a collection of slow-tempo songs for a project for Archie Campbell and Chet Atkins. Writing the fast-paced “Rocky Top” served as a temporary diversion for them. Recorded by the Osborne Brothers in 1967, the song was a top 40 hit on the country music charts in early 1968.

Although a staple of their concerts, the song did not achieve mass popularity until Lynn Anderson had a hit with it in 1970, and when the “Pride of the Southland” University of Tennessee marching band used it for one of their drills in 1972. The song was very popular and was officially adopted as a state song in 1982. In the 1970s, the song achieved such popularity among bar crowds that the Chapel Hill, North Carolina, old-time band the Red Clay Ramblers [1] national tours included a crowd-pleasing satire informally titled “Play ‘Rocky Top’ (or I’ll Punch Your Lights Out.)”[2]

The original “Rocky Top” song describes a place called Rocky Top, Tennessee, which is one of the three peaks of Thunderhead Mountain in Tennessee (located in the Smoky Mountains) in the eastern part of the state. The peak is actually located along the border between Tennessee and North Carolina.[3][4]

Despite its fast and upbeat tempo, the song’s first verse is actually a lament over a failed love affair and a vanishing way of life. The song’s second verse is an ode to two apparent revenuers and the illegal production of alcoholic beverages by moonshining, with a reference to “looking for a moonshine still.” These are all common country music themes. With its good-natured regional references to a carefree lifestyle, the singing of “Rocky Top” by Tennessee college students and alumni at sports venues such as Neyland Stadium is well established. The University of Tennessee has been granted a perpetual license to play the song as much and as often as success on the field dictates by the copyright holders, House of Bryant.

Contrary to popular belief, “Rocky Top” is not UT’s official fight song, although it is so closely identified with The University that many believe this to be the case. UT’s official fight song is a radically different tune called “Here’s To Old Tennessee”, adapted from the Yale University fight song “Down the Field”.

“Operation Rocky Top” was the FBI’s code name for a public corruption investigation into the Tennessee state government in the late 1980s which resulted in the eventual suicide of the Tennessee Secretary of State, Gentry Crowell, and the incarceration of several other individuals, most notably state House Majority Leader Tommy Burnette. The focus of the investigation was the illegal sale of bingo licenses.

The jam band Phish played “Rocky Top” regularly from 1987 to 2003. There have been additional cover versions of the song by such country music artists as Dolly Parton, Conway Twitty, and Billie Jo Spears. It can also be known as the official fight song of David Webb, a noted band director in Central Virginia at Jefferson Forest High.
