    thanks guys, when i lived in perth i lived mt lawley, inglewood are and leederville as well, but like i said 12 years things change, i will see on the weekend i guess, i understand what you are saying naja about down that way, but my wife wants to be close to things, but i will drive around and see on the weekend anyway, at least some places cant go everywhere. but its worth a look that way as we have discussed it, but i will be given some places to look at by the mrs. i knwo WA i grew up there, she has only ever visited.

    sweet thanks bro

    those suburbs have been on our list, i just remember spearwood from 12 years ago hamilton hill too, and my memory was not one that would entice me back there, but lots happen in 12 years, i think my mrs would really like to live in freo or there about even south freo beaconsfeild, that was on her list, so yeah, think is with perth your never really that far from the beach ay.

    i dont mind if the place is a unit or townhouse or villa, as long as i can keep my pets and have rooms for my kids, i am happy. but its all so hard to know what to do from this side of the country.

    anyway we will see what happens over the next week, weather i decide to go with the job or stay where i am now

    i will keep you up to date with whats going on, whats the weather like over there at the moment?

    yeah checked out willagee, looks ok, i will head out that way on the weekend no doubt, i know there is a really good school primary and secondary in rossmoyne, and i think part of willagee is in the catchment zone for that school, there is also a good school in east freo, so i gotta think of my children and where they will go to school or if we homeschool them or what. but its hard to know when you are on the other side of the country

    i just wish this job was better paying, as i am actually taking a slight decrease in pay, but the opportunities that could come from this job are great, in terms of a career, but fuck i still dont know what i want to be when i grow up :scratchhead:

    i also get to travel all over the state with this job, so there are many pluses to it, but the unknown is huge as well and that is kinda scary for me.

    plus i am going to miss my trees and plants if i move. i love my trees and cacti. i guess they will have to come :devil:

    but not in there current size

    hey looks like i may be offered a position in perth, and most likely moving over in 10 or 11 weeks, at first i will stay with family, but when my family ends up going over, then we will be needing to rent, please list some suburbs you think might meet this criteria

    1. needs to be affordable hahaha i know perth fuckin expensive but up to 400 per week, which is pushing it really considering my mortgage is less than that

    2. would like to be close to beach, or river, and parks for children to play at

    3. has good schools in the area, that support the arts

    4. near train cause i need to work in the city.

    5. safe place for family to live

    dont want to live out woop woop, like up joondalup way.

    has been 12 years since i lived in perth so i guess a great deal has changed

    these suburbs we were thinking

    vic park

    mt lawley

    trigg

    freo

    rossmoyne

    bull creek

    nth freo

    sth freo

    just a few ideas there

    but it all depends on lots of factors but mostly money.

    how do you fullas rent in perth, share houses i guess, which is not possible for me would need 3 bedrooms as well

    if any of you westies can offer some pros and cons for various places would be interesting to hear your perspective

    cheers

    thank you so much for a detailed critique, i will look at those bars and look into your ideas, i cant recall of the top of my head what the chords are but i think i know which ones you mean

    i will look at the score and check them out

    there are 10 sho chords, and i have recently thought of extending the piece to include these other cluster chords, but maybe not as well. as i said its an excercise in composition really for me, having the concept and bring about the reality.

    i actually wrote a rhythmic section in there originaly but deleted it as i was going for that nothingness.

    kinda zen in its concept i guess.

    those 7th + 8th chords in the base, are meant to be played like you have i should state that in the score.

    maybe only franz Liszt would pull that off :) ever played his music, brilliant piano composer that man

    the F's are only slight 2nd modulation of the original chords. GABDE to FGACD well i hope anyway, maybe out in someway, as i copy and paste a bit and then jsut move the whole chord as is down or up, not real modulation intended in the music based on the gagaku music concepts

    i also tried to use the full extent of the piano's range.

    ahh now i recall that bar you are talking about yes, that bar has felt not right too, when i first wrote it. i will relook at that.

    i really appreciate you looking through it for me, as its always good to get other musicians perspectives.

    ive also thought of using it as a beginning for something larger. but still, i am happy at how quickly it came to me, basically written in a night, with modifications over a week or something, now it has more articulation and dynamics and expression marks in the score.

    once again thank you

    wu wei zi

    Schisandra is a significant herbal remedy that acts as a stimulant all over the body. It helps in rejuvenating as well as conditioning different organs, especially the liver and the reproductive system. Schisandra is perhaps the most popular sex stimulant or tonic that is beneficial both for men and women. The herb has a reputation to enhance discharge of sexual fluids and is also used as a remedy to increase sexual vigor amongst men. Schisandra and/ or its extracts are widely used to heal hepatitis as well as improve the functioning of the liver.

    Even though schisandra is considered and used as a stimulant, the Chinese use the herb to smoothen anxiety as well as quiet heart palpitations. Schisandra is also used for healing insomnia as well sleeping complaints. In fact, the herb is an ideal example of how adaptogenic thymes are used paradoxically to heal different body disorders and also to normalize the body activities. Although, most researches on schisandra are said to be vague and still in preliminary stage, Chinese herbal practitioners have been conventionally using the herb’s berries to heal mental disorders like neuroses. Apart from treating patients suffering from lack of memory and bad temper, they use schisandra to improve concentration as well as mental harmonization. It may be noted that these treatments are carried following researches on the substance by their scientists.

    Among other uses, schisandra is also used to heal the respiratory disorders like unceasing coughs, gasps and succinctness of breath. It is also useful for treating disorders like night panics, dehydration and urinary occurrence by tuning up the body system and kidney activities. Since the last few years, Chinese herbal practitioners have even begun to use schisandra to cure urticaria or hives and many dermal disorders like eczema. In such cases, the herb or its derivatives are administered to the patients in the form of remedial wine. In addition, schisandra is also used to cure numerous other physical problems like diarrhea, dysentery and even help to restore and improve deteriorating vision and sound perception.

    wu wei zi the schidzandra is a major herb in chinese medicine, i take it everyday almost when i remember

    its an adaptogen with many benefits

    wu wei zi as an astringent qi tonic ... like astragalus but more puckering. Also keeping the yin intact, like astragalus.

    i guess this would balance the rou gui in the formula as rou gui is a yang herb
