1/1} This two-part review is Poe's major essay in the whole BJ for many reasons; It displays major critical principles about the language, construction, and suitable topics of writing; his attitudes on contemporary authors, such as Tennyson, and observations on many of the past, such as Homer, Aeschylus, Aristotle, and Milton; and it offered Poe a chance to discuss the poem by Elizabeth Barrett which supplied so much to "The Raven." Elizabeth Barrett Barrett, who was to be married to Robert Browning in 1846, had many literary ties to America (q.v. in Elizabeth R. Gould, The Brownings and America, 1904, Boston, Poet Lore, especially pp. 12, 18, 20, 24). The "learned poetess" mentioned in Graham's Editor's Table saw four of her sonnets published in the 12/42 issue of that magazine. Graham's offered four more in 1843, and three in 1844. Other periodicals offering her work were Arcturus of 2/41 (from which the four sonnets of Graham's 12/42 were transshipped), NAR 7/42, Democratic Review 7 and 10/44, and the Mirror 12/7/44, In the Pioneer of 4/43 can be found letters of praise from Lowell and Mrs. Sigourney. She had also a keen interest in international copyright laws, as did Poe and Mathews, who long nurtured her reputation in America. From the 10/39 BGM printing of "The Exile's Return" and her appearances in Graham's, Poe must have formed some idea of her importance. He also knew of her friendship with the British poet and journalist R.H. Horne (cf. 105/31), whose good offices he wished to engage for British publication of his tales (see Pollin, AL, 1965, 38.185-90; also, Poe Log for 1/25/45). Both Brownings were aware of Poe's efforts to cultivate their favor (see his dedication of the ROP to Elizabeth Barrett Barrett) and often discussed Poe in letters and conversations (q.v. in Letters of Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Barrett, 1844-45, Harvard U.P., 1969, 2 vols., E. Kintner, editor).
Poe's criticism of this, the major poem of the volume (published as Poems almost simultaneously in England, with the proof sheets used for the American copytext, the volume being issued early in 10/44) was kinder than that of posterity, as Gardner B. Taplin indicates (see The Life of Elizabeth Barrett Barrett, Yale U.P., 1957, pp. 124, 126, 130, 132-3, 135, the British press being rather sharper than the American). Elizabeth herself noted the oddly uneven, variedly pro and anti comments of Poe in her later remarks to Robert Browning (q.v. in Taplin, pp. 1378; Kintner, 297-8).
Even before this review, Poe recognized the importance of her volume in America, and gave it two short notices in the Evening Mirror. His earliest remark on the book (which was [page 2:] published early in October) was in the 10/7/44 issue, deeming the work superior to that of Tennyson and Motherwell, with three poems quoted, two in toto. In the 11/7/44 issue, Poe defends Miss Barrett from an anonymous detractor as not "disordered or mad," reprinted in the Weekly Mirror of the same date (noted by Woodberry, 2.102).
1/5} For James Puckle (1667?-1724, not a "Sir") and his work, see M 23, which uses this quotation, and note b which follows.
1/8} G——— must stand for Rufus W. Griswold (1815-1857), eventually Poe's literary executor and author of the large best-seller, The Poets and Poetry of America (1843). For Poe's regular derision of him, see MM 82, 101, 123.
1/9} Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797), author of Vindication of the Rights of Woman, was attacked by Horace Walpole as a "hyena in petticoats," perhaps Poe's sole knowledge of her importance to the female movement.
1/12} Anne N. Royall (1769-1854), began by writing of her travels over the United States in 1824. As a critic she was noted for her liberal spirit and reformer's zeal, as well as her indiscretion and amateurish nature. She displayed an uncanny ability to uncover graft, making her an object of fear in Washington. Aside from her books, which serve as a valuable source of social history, she also edited several papers (DAB).
1/13} Zoilus: For Poe's extensive use of the 4th cent. B.C. rhetorician, known for his witty, spiteful criticism, see LST 1 a.
1/14} Salic law: laws of the Salian Franks (on the Sala or Yossel) erroneously thought to establish exclusion of women from the thrones of Europe.
2/4} puffery: undue praise, used often by the journals of the day. For the first episode in Poe's campaign against it (promotion of Norman Leslie) see S. Moss, Poe's Literary Battles (1963), ch. 2, and Pollin, Mi Q, 1972, 25.111-30.
2/11} The American is Cornelius Mathews (1817-1889), ed., with Duyckinck (q.v.), of Arcturus, the organ of the Young America movement (for this nationalistic reaction to British supremacy in letters, and Poe's advocacy of it, see Claude [page 3:] Richard, Studies in Bibliography, 1968, 21.25-58). Although friendly at first, Poe came to vilify Mathews and his work in later years (cf. MM 269, 270, 278).
2/16} "Beersheba to Dan": see Judges 20.1, "From Dan even to Beersheba."
2/17-20} Democratic Review, 10/44, 15.370-7, review of A Drama of Exile; " ... nor will she fail to speak her mind, though it bring upon her a bad rhyme." Contrary to Poe's statement, the context is complimentary (p. 377). J. and H. G. Langley was the firm publishing both the Am. edition of her poems and the Democratic Review.
2/21} Poe refers here to the American Review, A Whig Journal, 1/45, 1.38-48, which begins: "Miss Barrett's new book ... is published simultaneously with the English edition, under the care of an American author* [*Mr. Mathews] to whom Miss Barrett pays a delicate compliment in her preface, and whose volume of Poems she praises ... 'as remarkable in thought and manner, for a vital, sinewy vigor, as the right arm of Pathfinder.' " First sentence (p. 38); " ... there are but 2 poets ... [in] the new generation — Alfred Tennyson and Miss Barrett." Page 39: 2 methods for the critic, the synthetic and the analytic. First, for the greatest poets — "take the poet's own word, and proceed with him in the development of his work."
2/39} For Elizabeth Barrett Barrett's grateful response to Poe's critique, expressed in her letter to R. H. Horne (who sent it to Poe in 5/45), see A. Quinn, EAP, 451-2; also the Poe Log for 1/25/45, and Pollin, "The Spectacles," in AL, 1965, 37.185-90, specifically, 185, 189. Poe exaggerates about the "long published" and "universally read" volume, out only four months, obviously because of her popularity and influence in England. For his own slavish reading of "Lady Geraldine's Courtship" as reflected in "The Raven" see TOM, Poems, 356-7.
2/43} "I decided on publishing it after considerable hesitation and doubt," p. vi; implies here for the first time.
2/48} experiment / experience (in Elizabeth Barrett Barrett)
2/59-68} The errors are (in vol. 1) 23 worldless; 26 split/spilt; 37 ?; 45 forgone (this spelling is found in an instance from 1849, by M. Arnold, OED); 53 ?; 56 communicable; 80 cursemete [page 4:] /cruise-mate?; 166 steeds/steeds; 174 chambere / chamber or ladye / ladye; 180 steal / steel; (last line faint and missing many letters); 185 "were it found her" / "were it to find her"; 251 wordly / worldly.
In vol. 2: 109 "The Last Bower": astonied / astonished (Poe ignores its being an archaic form of "stunned"); 114 faries / faeries or fairies; 240 "Catarina to Camodns": Drop / Dropped (?); 247 "Sleeping and Watching": reveillie / reveille (?); 253 "Wine of Cyprus": T ese / These; 272 "The Dead Pan": Froze / Froze (the former is an archaism, probably deliberate, of the latter).
3/35} James Silk Buckingham (1786-1855) was a British journalist and politician who travelled a great deal in the Orient. In his retirement he lectured on his travels (see M 288). It was perhaps his temperance pamphlets which, at least in part, earned him Poe's enmity (see Pollin, "Poe's 'Some Words with a Mummy' Reconsidered," Emerson Society Quarterly, 60.60-7).
Lectures on Egypt and Palestine, D. Fanshaw, NY, 1837, 8p. Notes of the Buckingham Lectures: embracing sketches of the geography, antiquities, and present condition of Egypt and Palestine ... (Leavitt, Lord and Co., NY, 1838), 266p.
3/37} For Blitz, see 41/20 [facsimile text] below.
3/40-51} On pp. 127-28 (with no substantive changes).
4/14} bull: a self-contradictory proposition (OED).
4/31} For "fire and brimstone," see Psalms 11.6, Luke 17.29, Rev. 14.10.
4/33} See Drama of Exile, p. 21: "When countless angel faces, still and stern / Pressed out upon me from the level heavens, / Adown the abysmal sphere;"
4/42} niäiseries: foolishness; silly things (actually spelled niaiseries, Spiers & Surenne, 1852) or nïaiseries by Poe, who liked the word (see Br. xxxvii-lx, M 291e).
4/48} For Poe's knowledge of Milton, see Thomas P. Haviland, "How Well Did Poe Know Milton?", PMLA, 1954, 69.841-60.
4/54} See Paradise Lost, Satan's speech, book 6. [page 5:]
4/59} Puff-paste refers to a light, fluffy dough (OED).
4/61} reveillé: not a typo, but uncommon now (reveille or reveille). From the French réveillez.
5/9} For Poe on allegory, see Pollin, "Undine in the works of Poe," Studies in Romanticism, 1975, 14.59-74.
5/16} Cf. Poe, "The Power of Words," Democratic Review, 6/45; TOM 1215: "This wild star — ... I spoke it — with a few passionate sentences — into birth." The sequence of dates is significant. Lines 15-27 are lines 1053-66, 1.68.
5/65} See M 201 for quotation and ref. to Homer. These are on Br., pp. 82-83.
5/77} For Poe's possible coinage of "Art-product" see PCW, p.
6/8} On 1.39.
6/18-20} The poem is on 2.7-63; the rest is from Pref. Lix. For the "heresy" of didacticism according to Poe, see "The Poetic Principle" (q.v. in H 15.271-2, and IV, pp. 11-12).
6/24} Jean Louis Guez de Balzac (1597-1654), prominent French essayist. See Pin 154 for Poe's ascription to him of Bouhours' book.
6/25} angéique (more correctly). No French phrase book has yielded this quotation.
6/30} For "under current" and its relation to "Allegory" see M 98n.
6/37} "Chris North" in Blackwood's of 11/44, 55.621-39, specifically, 635, Drama of Exile, 2.24.
6/44} The actual quotation is, " ... syntax of the passage will puzzle future ... " Poe's change or the typesetter's?
6/57-67} In 2.24.
7/22} Cf. the legend concerning Oedipus and the Sphinx. [page 6:] Also "Thou Art the Man": "I will now play the Oedipus to the ... enigma (TOM 1044):" The lines are on 2.28.
7/35} Blackwood's writes, "We shall commence (after reviewing A Drama) with her sonnets; for these appear to us to be by far the most finished of her compositions in point of style; and in depth and purity of sentiment, we think that they surpass any thing she has ever written, with the exception of the poem entitled 'Bertha in the Lane' " (p. 622).
The magazine prints in entirety "Discontent," "Futurity," "Comfort," "The Meaning of the Look" and "Patience Taught by Nature."
The actual quotation concerning "Bertha," paraphrased by Poe, runs thus: "But the gem of the collection is unquestionably the poem entitled 'Bertha in the Lane."'
7/42} Note Barrett's success with the sonnet in later years, and their popularity at the time of this review (cf. 1/1). Poe himself rarely used the sonnet form (TOM, Poems, 323, note to line 9). For her sonnets see pp. 135-62.
"The Prisoner," 1.161, reads thus: "Nature's lute / Sounds on behind this door so closely shut, / A strange, wild music to the prisoner's ears, / Dilated by the distance, till the brain / Grows dim with fancies which it feels too fine; / While ever, with a visionary pain, / Past the precluded senses, sweep and shine / Streams, forests, glades, — and many a golden train / Of sunlit hills, transfigured to Divine."
7/46-61} "The Romaunt of the Page," 1.167; "The Rhyme of the Duchess May," 2.65; "The Poet and the Bird, a Fable," 2.102; "A Child Asleep," 2.127; "Crowned and Wedded," 2.140; "Crowned and Buried," 2.146; "To Flush, my Dog," 2.156; "The Fourfold Aspect," 2.163; "A Flower in a Letter," 2.170; "A Lay of the Early Rose," 2.184; "That Day. For Music," 2.207; "L.E.L.'s Last Questio," 2.223; "Catarina to Camodns," 2.233; "Wine of Cyprus," 2.248; "The Dead Pan," 2.266; "Sleeping and Watching," 2.245; "A Portrait," 2.241; "The Mournful Mother," 1.214; "A Valediction," 1.218; "The House of Clouds," 2.227; "The Lost Bower," 2.104.
8/2} "The Lay of the Brown Rosary," 1.183-213 (Elizabeth Barrett Barrett's spelling).
8/18} The actual phrase from Aristotle is dio kai philosophateron kai spoudaioteron poiesis historia to kath'hekaston legei ("Thus poetry is superior to and more philosophic than [page 7:] history; poetry treats more of the general, history of the peculiar" [De Arte Poetica, Vahlen's Text, Edward R. Wharton, tr., 1890], p. 28.)
Poe's misquotation betrays an ignorance of Greek confirmed by the same corruption of this phrase in his 1836 "Letter to B ———." (H 7.xxxvii) and an 1842 review of Stanley Thorn (H 11.12).
8/21} To provide an example, the first stanza of "The Cry of the Human" (2.177) runs thus: "'There is no God,' the foolish saith, — / But none, 'There is no sorrow,' / And nature oft, the cry of faith, / In bitter need will borrow: / Eyes which the preacher could not school, / By wayside graves are raised; / And lips say, 'God be pitiful,' / Who ne'er said, 'God be praised.' / Be pitiful, O God!"
arabesquerie: Poe coinage (cf. PCW, p. 23).
8/22} "The Cry of the Children," 2.131-39.
8/25} "Bertha in the Lane" (cf. 7/35), 2.195-206.
8/27} Democratic Review, 10/44, p. 376: "Bertha in the Lane," pastoral, tender, and well wrought out, but perhaps not one of the best."
8/28} For Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine (p. 626) in Poe's works, see PD, 110; also SM In.
8/32} "Lady Geraldine's Courtship," 1.221-264.
8/40-43} N. B. Poe's use of the language and meter of this poem (q.v. in 2/29 above).
9/11} On 1.224, st. III. This popular gift book poem was revised in later editions.
9/18} Blackwood's, p. 638.
9/19} Christopher North: pseud. of Professor John Wilson (1785-1854), M.A., Oxford. Summoned to the bar, 1815; he joined the staff of Blackwood's in 1817, becoming the magazine's chief supporter with John Gilbert Lockhart (cf. H 9.171, 10.213). In 1820 Wilson was elected professor of moral philosophy at Edinburgh on the strength of his Tory convictions. It was in Blackwood's that he wrote, under his pseudonym, Noctes [page 8:] Ambrosianae (1822-35, cf. 9/43). See PD, p. 99; cited as critic SM 1, SM 7.
9/30} Blackwood's, p. 637.
9/31-32} On 1.261. The italics are from Blackwood's, indicating dissatisfaction.
9/35} Poe's pun (-um equaling -us) in the Latin ignores Frederic's penchant for French (therefore "Chacun a son gout").
9/43} Ambrosians: the conversations of North's circle, which make up Noctes Ambrosianae, supposedly took place in Ambrose's Tavern (OCEL).
Saint Ambrose (340-397 A.D., bishop of Milan from 374) greatly influenced church music (hymnody and antiphonal psalmody). Ambrosian liturgy and music at Milan long resisted the trends of the Church at Rome. The term "Ambrosian" was early applied also to any Latin hymn sung at the Hours. Poe's obscure allusion may be to any of these elements.
9/47} This image may derive from Lucian's statue, used by Poe thrice (cf. FS 21).
9/54} J.P. Pritchard, Classical Weekly, 26.132, sees a ref. to Horace, Carmen, III, st. XXX, 1-5: "Exegi monumentum ... fuga temporum."

12/65} "Lady Geraldine's Courtship," 1.239/157-9: "There, obedient to her praying, did I read aloud the poems / Made by Tuscan flutes, or instruments more various, of our own; / Read the pastoral parts of Spenser — or the subtle interflowings / Found in Petrarch's sonnets ...

13/30-39} "Lady Geraldine's Courtship," 1.238-9; line 34: "a brown partridge."
13/51} psychal: for Poe's coinage and frequent use see PCW, p. 35.
13/52-64} "Bertha in the Lane," 2.201-2.
13/67-76} "The Lost Bower," 2.115.
13/77} See Pin 14, 33; MM 7, 139A for Poe on Dante.
13/80-87} "The Cry of the Children," 2.135-6.
14/3-8} "Crowned and Wedded," 2.144-5 (with "glory and degree" in her poem).
14/11} In the forties Poe liked to cite the witticism ascribed incorrectly to Hierocles of Alexandria (ca. A.D. 430) as one of a collection of 260, concerning the "scholastikos" who offered a brick as a sample of a house that he wished to sell (see Poe's rev. of Brougham's Writings in the 3/42 Graham's, H 11.101), his rev. of Dawes' poetry in the 10/42 Graham's (H 11.145); and his letter to Charles Anthon of 11/2/44. Poe apparently could not decide upon the spelling for the Greek "chi" (second letter) and used "h" and "k" and "ch".
14/13} The word "constellatory" has 3 OED instances: 1650, 1823, and Poe's.
14/24 ff.} The next two paras. were reused as the first of ten articles (Marginalia 213 ff.) in the 5/1849 SLM, q.v. in the Br. for glosses on all questions below save one in 14/62. Except for this and one in 15/1-3 (below), no changes of significance were made by Poe — sharpening of the rhetoric here and there for small substantive matters and improvement of the pointing. Since M 213a contains a collation it is here omitted. Note c treats of Poe's love of Shelley and offers material from other Poe texts, especially for "The Sensitive Plant."
14/25} Childe Harold III, xcvii. See M 213 for full glosses on Poe and Percy Bysshe Shelley and his "Sensitive Plant" — a Poe [page 15:] favorite.
14/47} Francis Bacon, first baron Verulam (1561-1626), philosopher, lawyer, essayist. Poe often refers to his Essayes and borrows from them — but later he deprecates his philosophy. See Pin Intro.; SP 29; FS 3; MM 147, 213, 183, 196, 262.
14/57-65} The importance of this passage and the variation of Shelley's work in the 1849 text warrants a similar note. Poe here combines a Tower of Babel with a Chinese pagoda with bells derived from the mad Ophelia, "Like sweet bells jangled, out of tune and harsh" (Hamlet, 3.1.166). Alastor: The Spirit of Solitude, about the quest of a doomed youth for the visionary ideal is somewhat more suitable than Prometheus Unbound; Poe's sole ref. to these two works in this passage suggests his better acquaintance with Shelley's short lyrics. Poe seems to consider "glare" as equivalent to "bizarrerie," which he used often. For "spectrum" he is apparently going back to the root, meaning "image."
14/70} Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834), leading English Romantic poet, later known for his interest in esoteric metaphysics, which Poe deplored. PD, p. 22; MM 109, 133, 193, 213, SM 19. Poe slightly reduces his scorn for him in M 213.
15/1} In the 1849 text Poe adds one small word of significance in his evolving theory of composition: "the most profound Art (based both in Instinct and Analysis) and the sternest Will" — the italics and capital being Poe's own. Since he had written the "Philosophy of Composition" and the essays on prosody by then, the deliberate sedulous working out of the Art-Product has become fundamental.
15/7-35} The last para. was not used by Poe for M 213, perhaps because he had realized (by 5/1849, date of the article) how specious was much of the talk about her imitating Tennyson. A little older (1806-61) than he (1809-92), she had been writing poems before his Poems, chiefly Lyrical (1830), and while she avowed her love of Tennyson in 1842, her style and themes derived much more from Byron, Shelley directly, Landor, Greek drama, et al. than from Tennyson. Her fame has sadly declined from then, with her verse considered "too fluent and undisciplined, despite her theoretical excuses for slack rhymes and her intense social protest" (Baugh, Lit. History of England, p. 1403; Sampson, Concise History of English Lit., 583). It is curious [page 16:] that Poe acknowledges her forthright independence and liberal tendencies toward human rights, product of Shelley and other Enlightenment writers, but he refuses openly to discuss the themes, in part because of his elevation solely of lyrical poetry, from which his antididacticism would exclude the message. As for her insistence upon the Tennyson influence — she did not start out with his "works beside her" and between the midthirties and 1845 Robert Browning, soon to be her husband, was providing a series of poems and verse dramas counting for far more influence over her style and form. Poe knew about the marriage and about Robert's poetry, but probably indirectly (Letters, 320, 329). The profusion of images and the complicated comparison of Tennyson and E. B. B. as to health and imagination lead to confusion, not clear conclusion.
16/5} Nathaniel P. Willis (1806-67), editor, journalist, poet, graduated from Yale, 1827, edited American Monthly Magazine in Boston (1829-31), with reasonable success, despite notoriety as a poseur and dandy. In New York, he became associated with George P. Morris and went abroad as the New York Mirror's foreign correspondent. Despite indiscreet dispatches, he again met with success, social and professional. Back in New York (1836) Willis began writing for the theater. In 1839-40 he published the weekly Corsair. He again, with Morris, became coeditor of the New Mirror, the daily Evening Mirror, and in 1846, the long-lived Home Journal. Willis defended Poe against later calumnies, and has a place of importance in the development of the American short story (DAB). See PD, p. 98; M 192.
16/10-11} Bryan Waller Proctor (1787-1874), English poet. Intimate with Hunt, Lamb, Dickens. Reginald Heber (1738-1826), popular poet and hymn writer. See SM 23; H 9.198, 12.36. Fitz Greene Halleck (1790-1867), American poet, featured in Griswold's Poets and Poetry of America. See PD, p. 41, for numerous articles and comments. Henry Neele (1798-1828), solicitor, poet, and misc. writer, contributed to periodicals and pub. his collected poems in 1827. Willis reviewed his Literary Remains in 4/29, in the Am. Monthly Mag., 1.33, as "boarding school poetry, and lack-a-daisical prettyisms" (see Auser, Willis, 1969, pp. 28, 151). James Henry Leigh Hunt (1784-1859), English essayist and poet. Intimate with leading literary figures, especially the poets. See PD, p. 47; M 179. Charles Lamb (1775-1834), English essayist and humorist, see PD, p. 53; M 109. Washington Irving (1783-1859), the first characteristically American author, who established his reputation while American [page 17:] letters were in the formative stage of independence from British domination. See PD, p. 48; MM 156, 102.
16/14} "in fee simple impartite"; held in his own right, unconditionally, and not parted or divided.
16/38} Coleridge (q.v. 14/70) authored Aids to Reflection (C. Goodrich, Burlington, 1829, lxi [2] 399p.) and "Genevieve" (first published in the Cambridge Intelligencer, 11/1/1794 [pp. 19-20, Oxford ed., Coleridge]).
16/54-61} Poe's passage on this distinction became part of the 5/46 "Lit." sketch of Willis and also comprised FS 41 (q.v.), with the opinion on Thomas Moore.
17/12-36} These lines became M 220 (q.v.), just as the lines above. This entire section on Fancy was derived by Poe from Coleridge, as he admits (cf. M. Alterton, H. Craig, EAP, NY, 1935, rev. ed. 1962, p. xxvii; Floyd Stovall, EAP, 1969, 156-60). For collations with M 220 see the note, which discusses Hugo's Cromwell as a source, and R. Jacob's different view.
17/26} However, in "Philosophy of Composition" (para. 18, H 15.201), Poe denies this "neutrality" of topic by opting for "the death of a beautiful woman" as "the most poetical topic." Cf. Ivor Winters in AL, 1937, rep. in E. Carlson, Recognition of Poe (1966), pp. 184-90.
18/9-10} The final phrase may strike us as an instance of Poe's allowing the sound of an alliterative pair of words to determine the thought, such as it is; it yields very little significant meaning.

Music for the Dreamer . . .
Tags: piano, soundtrack, beautiful, neoclassic, violins
Pianochocolate is always good for a beautiful, piano interlude . . . a dreamy day ensues as one listens and the soul flies into the indescribably beautiful heavens, past the gray clouds and the heaviness of gravity . . . graceful and melodic . . . the dance of the angels . . . the flow of the stars in the sea . . . the glory of a smile . . .
Tags: happy, orchestra, moviescore, moviemusic, moviesoundtrack
and dedicated to all the birds of the world . . . Happy, whimsical, motivating and either a soundtrack or electronic game genre. I listened as I worked during my day and found that this lengthy piece had the perfect flow and tempo to generate energy and good feelings. It also generated wild imaginations regarding pirates at sea, and especially one with a parrot . . . The parrot scheming to take over the ship and treasure with the help of all the birds at sea . . . something about a zombie pirate who does his bidding (the parrot's) and the ship sails on . . . but maybe my imagined story is way too out of bounds . . . ahhrrrrr me matey, stop peckin' me with that big beak a yers . . .
Tags: jazz, instrumental, improvisations, bluesjazz, latinjazz
I love jazz, and especially this album, yet I find myself inadequate to write a review . ..
to embellish the emotions or describe the music with flair and exactitude . . . so I leave the musician to describe his own music in his own words:
November Child is designed as a suite (not a random collection) of tunes that include composed and improvised swing jazz, blues and Latin bossa, all at a slow or moderate tempo that, combined in the order of the album, aim at leading the listener through a pattern of moods that are generally darker and more introverted, but also quite intimate. It's the time we contemplate nature shedding its coat of last season while we gather around in warm places to meet friends and family present or from the past, like authors we rediscover from their works.
Tags: piano, easylistening, smooth, classical, pianosolo
Dedicated to World Peace . . . which in my opinion is possible, one human at a time . . . peace between nations, people and families . . peace to the animals and all that grows green . . . peace to the oceans and creatures of the deep . . . peace to all things . . . straight from our heart.
The piano slid right into my heart, as I listened and was moved by the melodies of these twelve tracks. The emotions of the musician were wafted like the essence of blossoms on the winds of the environment . . . the music is calming, soothing and lovely.
Tags: lounge, world
This piece really harmonizes with my soul as it takes me into the unknown and the deep past . . . a whirlwind of a dream as the heart ticks on and is warmed by the melody . . . Just a short little track but I enjoyed it immensely.

You have no idea how much I like the stories you make up to my music. I made a happy piece and your story made me laugh out loud. (Your story is always close to my theme but still always way beyond my imagination!)ReplyDelete

Money Saving Tips in Prague
Submitted by M14727Prague cab drivers have a bad reputation for ripping off foreign tourists. To avoid that, go to www.cedaz.cz. Send them a request along with your name and flight number and their driver will meet you at the arrival hall with a sign with your name. The fare to downtown Prague for a party of up to 4 pax is CZK 480 (= $25) - by far the cheapest way to get to your hotel!

Pub Crawl & Party Travel Tips
Submitted by M18499Heading to Europe for a pub crawl or party adventure? Then think "light"...
A few days before you travel, lay out all the clothes and all the money on your bed - take half the clothes, and twice the money.
Ensure you have the right clothing for your tour. Temperatures in Europe can vary greatly during most times of year, and a good jacket is highly recommended.
You need only 1 pair of good shoes… dress code in Europe isn't formal, and in the beer tents of Oktoberfest you WILL get covered in ... view more beer… don't take your most expensive designer shoes :)
Rule number 1 of travelling: travel light! You're pub crawling, not climbing Mt Everest (there aren't any bars up there, are there?)

casual monday neutral and white fashion for the working girl
Happy Monday dolls! Here in New York the sun is out in full effect. I have impatient tendencies, and even after last week's blizzard I was dying to wear sandals. So I jetted out in peep toe pumps instead. If it's warm where you are, please let me live vicariously through you and wear some gladiators for the both of us! What's your work attire outfit look like today?

According to the Islamic activist group, Hizb-ut-Tahrir, Australia is enforcing democratic values and a "disputed view" of history which contradicts Islamic beliefs. According to their spokesman, Unthman Badar, "Requiring schoolchildren to sing the national anthem, and the citizenship pledge supporting democratic values, are a part of an oppressive campaign by Australian authorities of 'forced assimilation' of the Muslim community."
Here's the pledge:
From this time forward, [under God,]
I pledge my loyalty to Australia and its people,
whose democratic beliefs I share,
whose rights and liberties I respect, and
whose laws I will uphold and obey.
Pretty oppressive, right? If you are graciously accepted into a country and you can't even say that pledge, is there any chance of assimilating into the culture? Here's the national anthem:
Australians all let us rejoice,For we are young and free;
We've golden soil and wealth for toil;
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in nature's gifts Of beauty rich and rare;
In history's page, let every stage Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing, Advance Australia Fair.
Beneath our radiant Southern Cross We'll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours Renowned of all the lands;
For those who've come across the seas We've boundless plains to share;
With courage let us all combine To Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing, Advance Australia Fair.
If a group of radicals cannot assimilate and integrate within a western society, they can go right back where they came from.
Moreover when immigrants and or asylum seekers actually seek entrance into a benevolent host nation, it is with a reasoned understanding that they will adhere to the principles and laws of that host country.
If those seeking entrance cannot abide by those basic principles, they should not be allowed to enter…it's really that simple.
Watch Hizb-ut-Tahrir spokesman, Unthman Badar, make the case against Muslim school children singing the national anthem. It begins around the 10 minute point.
This is outrageous! Muslims everywhere act like this when they reach a certain percentage of a western nation's population, because it is all part of the great plan to achieve a global totalitarian theocracy. WQe cannot let them get away with these things!
Either assimilate, or LEAVE.
They are Muslim first, last and always. Geographic boundaries and national laws mean nothing to them. Their only loyalty is to Allah. It's their faith. The west doesn't get it because most liberals are faithless.
It irks me that these intolerant groups of radicaks go to a country of their own and then don't want to be patriotic to that country.. How about you go back where your from!! Next they will demand that Australian's convert or be beheaded!
It makes me sick that our children were denied the American flag under Obama, and couldn't pray… but Muslim children can and do.. we are denied Christ but they are not denied Allah during school hours! This is wrong on more than one level! Next they won't want to learn the country they have invaded history… because its not theirs!
Muslims are nothing but foreign invaders with no intention of loyalty or assimilation into the country they go to.
This what you get with Socialist politician bent on destroying their country.

text: Swiss photographer Pierre Pellegrini sees photography both as a way to communicate and as a chance for the viewers to feel emotions. His 'Thoughts in Time' photo series is a collection of long exposure pictures of trees, most often bare and surrounded by fog. The name of the series was chosen because time is the key factor in long exposure photography, and to Pierre, every picture contains not only the image itself, but also all the thoughts that he had time to ponder over between each frame.

According to Cindy Meiners of the American Home Finding Association, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (known to most as WIC) is currently up and running "as usual". WIC clinics are open for appointments and participants may use their WIC cards as they would normally use them.
"Because of the government shutdown, some may think that WIC has shut down," Meiners says. "However, we are still open at this time."

A friend of mine also has these boots and she wore her's with some great looking fur-topped boot socks, and indeed when purchasing the boots I too saw these priced at £25.00 a pair.
Now I really do hate spending money that I don't need to, and I knew my twin had gifted me an old faux fur coat, which I always intend to cut up and refashion into something else, and in the back of my mind I instantly thought I could use the fur to trim an existing pair of boot socks that we purchased over the Christmas period for £3.50, and this is what I came up with.
I used the hemmed part of the coat which was also lined. Measured the circumference of the top of the existing boot sock and added a little extra for a back seam and the stretch in the existing sock to get the top to fold over the top of the boot. How did I know to do this - I cut the first one exactly to fit around the sock top (no stretch) and I couldn't turn it over the boot so out came my unpicking tool lol.
I serged the fur and lining raw edges together and then made a ring by serging the back seam - sadly I couldn't be bothered to change the thread on the serger (bad I know) but its not going to show so I wasn't too bothered.
With the right side of the fur strip facing upwards (lining to the inside) I attached the fur strip to the top of the boot sock. Another thing I found out is that my wellington boots are shorter than these Dubarry boots, and I effectively lengthened the sock by attaching this to the top of the sock allowing it to fold over comfortably, otherwise I may have lined this so it folded down exactly the same as the existing fold line.
Now a few years back Vogue magazine gave instructions on how to make an infinity scarf - if you google it you will find lots of instructions. My original thought was to make an infinity scarf, but when I measured an existing scarf to the fabric available on the coat, there wouldn't have been enough.
Undeterred, I decided to make a sort of neck cuff. I measured my head so I knew how much I would need to get the cuff over my head and cut a piece of fur fabric & lining (from the same coat) both around 6" wide. I sewed the lining to the fur right sides together along both of the long edges, keeping the shorter ends open. Turn right side out and then join the two short edges right sides together . You will not be able to sew all the way round because you will end up with a small piece that you will need to slip stitch together by hand and then it is finished - simple.
While I like to feel warm and cosy, I don't like to feel too constricted around my neck, and with the cool lining this does just the job for me - however you could always cut your fabric around 12" wide and thus create a complete fur cuff.
I still have quite a bit of the coat left to use for other projects, but I am really pleased with my version of these boot socks and am delighted with the boots too.
Before I leave you here is a picture of our wonderful resident barn owl, which we are both obsessed with and after I had snapped the photograph I realised that he/she was carrying something for lunch too.
Have a great weekend whatever you are doing.
Catch you later..................

To Europe's Thrifty, Austerity Is Just Unfair
Better-off provinces and towns say only big spenders need to cut | "Why do we have to cut spending if our finances are in order?"
Carol Matlack, with Niklas Magnusson, Chiara Vasarri, Henrique Almeida, and Rodney Jefferson
South Tyrol in the Italian Alps, like many regions in Europe, is being asked by the central government to absorb big tax increases and spending cuts. Some local leaders instead propose buying their fiscal independence from Rome. "We are willing to contribute," says Thomas Widmann, economics minister for Italy's wealthiest province. He suggests that South Tyrol pay €15 billion ($19.9 billion), its share of Italy's €1.9 trillion debt based on the province's population, in exchange for total control over local taxing and spending.
South Tyrol's proposal would "undermine the unity of Italy," says James Walston, a political scientist at the American University in Rome: the national government would never accept it. Still, the episode shows how the crisis is creating friction within countries. As Widmann puts it: "Why do we have to cut spending if our public finances are in order?"
There's similar grumbling in Portugal about big-spending localities such as the island of Madeira, which got a €1.5 billion bailout from the central government last year after running up €6.3 billion in debt on projects such as a yacht marina. Now, Lisbon is cutting aid to all municipalities by 4.7 percent, spurring complaints from some that managed their finances conservatively. "High debt levels are a problem of some town halls, not all," says Antonio Amaral, a spokesman for the city of Maia, in northern Portugal, which has paid down almost half its debt.
Resentment is brewing in Surrey, an area of posh homes and corporate headquarters southwest of London. The community has whittled its budget 9 percent over the past two years as the British government cut funds to municipalities. David Hodge, leader of the Surrey County Council, says that Surrey turns over more than half its business-tax revenues to the central government, while poorer regions get more of the aid available. "Now's the time we should be investing," Hodge says. Defying a request by the central government to freeze local taxes, the county plans to boost its council tax 3 percent.
In Germany, some mayors want to end a pact requiring the federal government and regions in former West Germany to pay €156 billion in subsidies to eastern Germany through 2019. The deal "has forced highly indebted and some impoverished cities and communities in western Germany to borrow money" to pay their share, says Ullrich Sierau, mayor of Dortmund. The city ran up a €1.3 billion debt as it borrowed to make €520 million in subsidy payments. It still owes €230 million in subsidies. The debt crisis and stricter capital rules for banks have pushed credit costs so high that more borrowing would drive cities like Dortmund "faster than ever before towards bankruptcy," he says. Germany also is trying to control debt by restricting the borrowing power of local governments. As austerity bites deeper, tensions between regions are likely to grow.
The bottom line National governments in much of Europe are imposing cuts on localities — and some are pushing back.

Last year, Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary (NANAS) launched a new pilot program called the mobile Animal Birth Control (ABC) clinic to facilitate the sterilisation street cats, dogs and for owners who cannot afford the cost of sterilisation in Malaysia.
The cost of sterilisation is either at a subsidised rate or given free, depending on a case by case basis which will be assessed by Raymund Wee, founder of NANAS.
Through the continued efforts of goodwill and collaborations, Noah's Ark has also helped other animal welfare organizations such as the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) Johor Bahru.
These three kittens were part of a street rescue that SPCA had conducted to reduce the number of strays through sterilisation. SPCA conducts street rescues when there is a sharp increase in the stray population or when a complaint is filed so that they can monitor the situation closely.
These three kittens were part of a street rescue that SPCA had conducted to reduce the number of strays through sterilisation. SPCA conducts street rescues when there is a sharp increase in the stray population or when a complaint is filed so that they can monitor the situation closely.
However, due to the high volume of rescues that SPCA JB conducts daily, the organization is also overwhelmed with the number of sick and injured animals that are in need of urgent treatment. This is where Noah's Ark comes in to lend its resources in helping SPCA JB with the temporary housing of these animals after medical treatment and sterilisation. With the ABC clinic, animals that cannot be treated at SPCA JB are brought into Noah's Ark for treatment and then returned.
By helping one another as organisations, more animals have the opportunity to find a second chance at getting a good owner and a loving home where they can live out the rest of their lives in safety and not on the streets.
At the sanctuary, these three kittens are brought in for a general health-screening and sterilisation. When the sterilisation is done, the kittens are then brought back to SPCA JB for adoption. These active collaborations between the two animal welfare organizations offer a glimpse of pooling together more resources and ways to help more animals. This will in turn give more animals the chance to lead better lives and to actively reduce the stray population through active partnerships and collaborations.
However, Raymund hopes that the many animal welfare organisations stay focus and are passionate in helping the animals whole-heartedly and not half-heartedly. He gives an analogy of an accident prone area where there is a high amount of accidents; there should be preventive measures to reduce the number of accidents by installing more lights and to address the issue thoroughly to prevent more casualties. It is necessary to sterilise all the strays and not only a certain portion.

Last year, Nike Inc. /quotes/zigman/235840 /quotes/nls/nke NKE spent $3.8 billion, or about 16% of its total sales, on athlete endorsements and other sponsorships. That's about 25 times the $158 million its smaller rival Under Armour Inc. spent on that front, according to an analysis by Hedgeye analyst Brian McGough.
A closer look at Nike's portfolio also showed that 61% of its obligated endorsement payments are scheduled in less than 3 years, with 22% of its contractual payments taking place in years 4 to 5, and 16% of them after year 5. In comparison, nearly 90% of Under Armour's contractual endorsement payments are scheduled in less than three years, with only 2% of them for after year 5.
While Nike has a more balanced payment portfolio and more powder than a "powerful competitor" like Under Armour, Under Armour's /quotes/zigman/388552 /quotes/nls/ua UA smaller size and budget may give it some advantages, the analyst said.
Under Armour has the "wiggle room to be less conservative and take on more implied leverage with longer-dated sponsorship agreements," McGough said. "There's opportunity for (Under Armour) if it plays its cards right."

After the announcement that Hublot had achieved the strategic partnership in China with Asia-renowned Visun Royal Yacht Club in December 9, 2013, the Swiss luxury watch brand is extremely proud to introduce today the Big Bang Aero Visun Royal Yacht Club watch, limited to 25 pieces, continuing to draw the legendary feature for successful elites.
Building the art of fusion between tradition and innovation, the Big Bang Aero Visun Club Limited timepiece pays tribute to the excellence of crafts and the spirit of voyage. The iconic Big Bang design with 44mm diameter made of black carbon fiber case and Chronograph Aero skeleton movement, unveiling its delicate mechanics interpret a strong character. Moreover, inspiring with the great cooperation between Hublot and Visun Royal Yacht Club, the logo of the prestigious Yacht Club is set in 9 o'clock; hands, crown as well as buttons are colored in blue. Black alligator strap with black rubber and blue stitch provide a comfortable and honorable sensation to wearers.
Hublot has always been close to the world of sailing and the sea, firstly through its very name ("Hublot" means "porthole" in French) and the shape of its watches, but also through the prestigious partnerships such as the prestigious Monaco Oceanographic Museum and its Institute and the glamorous Marina de Porto Cervo in Sardinia.
It's no surprise, then, that Hublot connects with Visun Royal Yacht Club which was announced the first Asian yacht club becoming a member of "La Belle Classe" Destinations by HSH the Prince Albert II of Monaco who is also Honorary President of the Oceanographic Institute of Monaco.
The success of Hainan Rendez-Vous delivered its essence of high-end lifestyle both home and abroad. Looking back the history of Visun Royal Yacht Club, you find that its development echoes Hublot's rapid growth and no one can deny that this alliance is a god-blessed match.
Big Bang Aero Visun Royal Yacht Club Limited watch clarifies a respectful nod to the great traditions combined with a firm focus on the future: this manifesto clearly reflects the philosophy of Hublot, linking sea and land, tradition and innovation, wood and high-tech materials, time and space: a fusion of all elements and all technologies.

Viewer: Courtney Brown
Data: Type 3 (solo, viewer blind)
General Target Description: The Shuttle Discovery Mission
to Repair the Hubble Space Telescope (mid-February 1997)
Comments: This session is a useful lesson showing how the conscious mind
constantly attempts to identify and make sense out of raw remote viewing
perceptions. In this session, the viewer accurately identifies subjects
associated with a large, complex, and essentially hollow structure high
above the surface of a planet. But, as evidenced in the deductions, the
conscious mind of the viewer wanted to interpret these perceptions as
a balloon flight. (Remember that deductions are not data: they are conscious
mind conclusions that are subtracted from the flow of the data.) This
mental struggle between the perception of raw remote-viewing data and
attempts of the conscious mind to identify and categorize the perceptions
into an imagined schema that may or may not fit the content of the actual
target is the single most challenging aspect of the remote viewing process.
This particular target was especially challenging in this regard, since
so many aspects of the target had parallels to a balloon flight. Even
the sides of the Hubble Space Telescope are covered with a thick insulating
reflective fabric covering that "gives" when pressed inward.

Happy Healthy Summer is a summer-long multimedia campaign using on-air and online resources to inspire kids to make healthy choices in the summer. The program was launched by PBS Kids and Sesame Workshop on June 20th, 2005 and is hosted by Sesame Street's Grover. Grover's role is to pop in and encourage children to run, jump, dance and play.
Each week on a Monday throughout the summer, episodes from Sesame Street, Dragon Tales, and Barney, among others on PBS Kids, will encourage kids to make healthy choices. Activities on PBSKids.org will change weekly to coincide with the weekly episode themes and will also feature healthy recipes and games about hygiene, nutrition, movement and sports.
In 2005, PBS launched two short commercials featuring Grover to promote Happy Heathy Summer.

The success of the project will be dependent upon simple and reliable communications between partners and access to data. It is also important to develop a means to present the project information to stakeholders and others interested in the work, as part of the dissemination process.
The primary vehicle for achieving good communication will be a project website which will be based on web portal with a restricted access site for exchange of confidential project data, and a freely accessible public area for rapid dissemination of project information. The restricted access data portal will include a secure project management electronic office to facilitate document archiving, the sharing of data and project management information, such as financial return forms and information on completed milestones. Regular communication will be achieved via e-mail and VOIP for regular virtual project, or workpackage group meetings. All partners will contribute to management activities.
NA3 will fully exploit the highly interactive communication opportunities that are facilitated by the Internet, such as virtual meetings, document exchange, virtual databases and interactive information queries. However, they will be completed by other vectors such as brochure and leaflet if deemed relevant. Implications and potential relevance of project will be widely publicised among the potential user communities. In particular it is important to develop a means to present non-confidential project information to stakeholders and others interested in the work, as part of the ongoing dissemination process.
The primary vehicle for publicising project activities will be a project website which will be integrated into the Web Portal linking together local web sites and databases. In addition the project will develop a one page information sheet (project fact sheet) and other "publicity" material, such as information leaflets, to disseminate the information and the achievements of the project directly. The instruments of the EC will be used to present the project to the wider community, and especially policy makers, e.g. through the Cordis website, and interesting findings and progress reported regularly on the weekly news letter, "Cordis Express".

|Sighting Report
|Occurred : 8/5/2008 21:54 (Entered as : 08/05/08 21:54)
Reported: 8/5/2008 9:37:48 PM 21:37
Posted: 8/12/2008
Location: Hobbs, NM
Shape: Teardrop
Duration:20-30 Seconds
|Large, pear shaped (upside down teardrop shape) object glowing orange, then drifted away.
I stepped outside just around 30 minutes ago, at approximately 9:54PM Mountain Time, when I looked out to the western/north western sky, I saw something. At first I thought it was just something reflecting lights like a cloud or something. But then I realized it wasn't a cloud, due to seeing other clouds in the area, plus I could see stars around this object.
It was quite large, pear shape almost like a hot air balloon, but not quite. It had an orange glow. I could see stars in the same vicinity behind it so I knew there were no clouds covering the moon. It was bright. I saw the moon earlier this evening, about 30 minutes to an hour prior to this, and it was a crescent moon. This object was much more rounded and large. I looked down for a split second as I took a step forward to try and get a better look and the thing appeared as though it was just shrinking; As if it were floating straight away, with no sound what so ever. I could still see the stars, and as it got smaller (further away) more stars appeared behind it, and no clouds were in that area.
I don't know what it was, and I won't say it was a UFO, but it was definitely something weird floating in the sky that I could not explain. Very large, no sound, glowing orange and I watched the object "shrink" into nothing and completely disappear very quickly.
It confused me and the more I went outside and looked around at the sky to see other objects in the sky in relation to where this thing was, the less I can explain what I saw! This is my report and is honest and accurate to the best of my knowledge

I'm having one of those weeks to be cherished for the rest of my life!
Monday: Macau
Tuesday: Hong Kong
Wednesday: Paris
When I'm in the old people's home with a grin on my face
it will be because of weeks like this...
The world is a beautiful place and the contrasts between the smelly dried fish of Macau
and the linesmen in their designer cardigans at Roland Garros yesterday
gave me a little, ok a massive:
"life's good" moment!
But can't stop we're off to the tennis again today.
Have fun, whatever you're up to,

Rebel Wilson, the second funniest woman on the planet – first is Kristen Wiig – broke into the industry as the scary, tattooed roommate of Wiig's character in the critically lauded Bridesmaids. The world sat upright and asked, "Who is this blonde girl with the funny accent and the septic tattoo?" Soon after, Wilson became a household name. She starred as a vapid assistant in the 2012 dramedy, What To Expect When You're Expecting, and she recently made a turn in the singing spin-off Pitch Perfect alongside Ana Kendrick and Brittany Snow.
Now, according to latest reports, the hysterical Wilson will host the 2013 MTV Movie Awards – a fitting show for her droll humor and talent. The network officially stated, "[Wilson] will redefine the MTV Movie Awards with her top secret plans." It sounds like an absolute must-watch! The show will air live from the Sony Pictures Studios Lot in Culver City, California on the 14th of April, 2013, and will feature the film stars and movies made popular by you, the audience. Expect the usual off-beat humor from a smattering of stars, including the Twilight cast and The Hunger Games cast.
Fortunately, although the MTV Movie Awards are not as critically recognized as the Academy Awards, it is still a massive opportunity for film studios and marketing people to tout their films for a blockbuster audience. Seeing that the MTV Movie Awards consist of mostly a young demographic, it's the perfect platform for film studious to make their films widely known.
Rebel Wilson is, without a doubt, one of the best decisions in the award show's history!

MA creative writing student — Sarah Billington
Discover how Sarah plans to use her postgraduate degree in creative writing to start a career in teaching and freelance writing
How did you get on your course?
I applied for the MA once my degree was finished as I wanted to continue my study of creative writing, in particular poetry. I had an interview with the head of the MA programme to discuss my future aims, for which I had to provide a portfolio of my work.
How relevant is your degree to your postgraduate course?
My MA is in creative writing with a focus on poetry so what I learnt on the degree plays huge part in my development on the MA. I see the MA as a continuation of my degree; a way to expand on my own literary practice providing me with an advanced knowledge of my chosen subject.
What does your postgraduate course involve?
I attend a mixture of lectures and workshops, where I study a lot of contemporary literature and discuss my own writing. I receive feedback from my group on how to improve the pieces I am working on. I also learn and practice poetics, which is a form of reflection on my writing.
What do you enjoy about your postgraduate course?
I love learning new things in a subject that I am passionate about. I am introduced to the work of many writers and poets that I may never have encountered if it had not been for the course.
I also really enjoy the workshops and find them extremely helpful in the development of my writing.
What are the most challenging parts?
Time is my biggest challenge. I also work part time and have children so trying to juggle everything along with studying and having time to write is a huge challenge.
Where do you hope to be in five years?
I hope to still be writing poetry and have a collection published.
Any words of advice for someone who wants to get onto this postgraduate course?
Make sure you know exactly what you want to study and what area of writing is best suited to you. It is quite fast paced, especially if you do it full time.
What career do you plan to go into?
I would like to go into some form of teaching but perhaps in prisons or working with vulnerable people.
How essential is what you are studying to getting your chosen job?
What we learn on the creative writing MA certainly feeds into many aspects of teaching. I have acquired skills that have enabled me to help others develop their own writing, which will be a great advantage for me.
Do you also need work experience?
I could do some voluntary work in my chosen career to get a better understanding of what is expected of me. However, I do think my studies will stand me in good stead to be able to approach employers to get the experience I need.

I'll be honest, I'm generally not a huge fan of Joe McNally when it comes to tutorials because he tends to go off tangent and I can't follow, but this is an exception that I personally think is one of the greatest. In this video, Joe McNally will tell a story about how he got the gig to shoot this badass aircraft for National Geographic. The plane was delivered to him and 3 o'clock in the morning, so it was pitch black outside. With his extensive knowledge in lighting, he used a totally of 8 CTO (color temperature orange) strobes that were clamped onto the plane and 2 strip boxes on the sides to bring out the edges. The result was magnificent once the sun finally came up. The lighting on top of the plane was all natural.
Watch to see what NatGeo decided to do with the final image.

The Shoe Project
Shoe Story 25: My Valentino Shoes
I bought my first and only pair of Valentino shoes in Italy in 2007. Designed for what I believe are special occasions, these shoes became an idea of moments I wanted to experience in my Canadian life. They are also the most expensive investment I have ever made and ever will, when it comes to my limited shoe collection.
I was window shopping in an Italian outlet mall, an hour from Rome. I had visited the Valentino store twice before I seriously began to consider buying the shoes that I fell in love with at first sight. I checked the heels, smelled the sole, and tried them out, walking this way and that. I finally decided to spend 160 euros—around $320 Canadian dollars at that time—on this pair of shoes.
Buying those pricy shoes made me feel different. I was entering the big leagues of shopping. It wasn't just a pair of shoes in front of me at the store, but the symbol of a love story—according to my interpretation of the brand 'Valentino' in the fashion world.
I learned about brand names while living in Canada. I was exposed to magazines, to the red carpet at the Oscars, and to entertainment and fashion television shows where glamorous people wear Valentino and look absolutely beautiful. To be honest, before coming to Canada, my shopping was limited to the local Colombian manufacturers and retailers who have made a big name among, well, Colombians.
I loved the romance behind the style of Valentino's designs. But those ideas were definitely too expensive for me to have, considering I was an immigrant woman who was working as a community reporter for a Spanish language newspaper in Toronto. I had an extremely modest income.
Travelling and shopping were a break from college and work. Italy was a luxury that I could afford, thanks to my discipline with money. And the shoes could be too. So there I was in Rome, hypnotized by these beautiful pink shoes that made me dream of a better place in life, giving me hope for many experiences and places that were yet to come, and allowing me to fantasize about where these shoes would bring me: elegant restaurants, maybe? Romantic nights? Hopefully. Red carpets—why not? Cannes was on my to-visit list during that European trip, after all. Lost in my dreaming, I handed over my credit card.
Back to reality, and to Toronto. My Valentino shoes spent a couple of months in my closet before that special occasion finally came. I was assigned to cover the visit of former Governor General Michäelle Jean to a refugee house in Toronto. I put on my light-blue linen suit that everyone thought was Italian, and I never told them otherwise. It was made by a gifted Colombian modista (dressmaker). I left my basement apartment feeling amazing, and walked three blocks to the bus stop wearing my beautiful Valentino shoes for the first time. Waiting for the 29 bus, I was already thinking that the shoes felt funny. But this was my first date with them, and when you're in love, even if it's with shoes, those little details really don't matter. I then got on the subway, walking confidently but carefully, protecting the pointed shoe from potential scratches, and watching that the heels didn't get stuck between tracks and that nobody stepped on my beloved treasures.
At the refugee house, the media weren't allowed to go inside, so I was waiting outside the door when a limousine arrived and the governor-general came out, walking straight toward me. Smiling, she shook my hand and with natural confidence, I said, "Nice to meet you!" I introduced myself while she seemed to be waiting for directions. For a minute or two, nobody was there but us.
Finally, two women—one of whom was the director of the refugee house—jumped between us and walked her inside. Thirty minutes later, I was allowed to go in. I talked to the refugees about their conversation with Her Excellency and then walked alongside her to the back of the building where graffiti art that was painted especially for her was unveiled. She was friendly, and for a few minutes, I felt that I was a part of the same world as the governor-general, the Canadian world, the world of accomplished people and, yes, the glamorous world.
It was all thanks to my Valentino shoes, obviously.
By the end of the event, I couldn't take one more step with those shoes for one simple reason. My feet were killing me and the shoes were slippery. They weren't designed for the adventure I had subjected them to. They were better suited for walking on a carpet, preferably a red one.
My Valentino shoes are still with me. They haven't walked me to many places, but they remind me to dream high. So I do.
