Because I like to give a variety of ways that digital kits can be used, today's tutorial is about creating a facebook timeline using today's free mini kit! You can follow the basic guidelines in any program and if it can be done in Canva, I think you can scrap in any program!
What is Canva?
If you haven't heard of Canva before, it's a free program that you can upload your own photos and digital elements and create all kinds of things. These can then be saved and used online or even printed (depending on the pixel size you set up your project with.)
Let's jump in and get started!
Go to Canva.com and create an account if its your first time there.
Then we're going to create a custom dimension:
For a Facebook Timeline, you'll want the dimensions to be 1920 pixels by 1080 pixels:
It will open up a blank screen with your menu on the left. Choose Upload on the bottom of the left hand column and load the elements and paper from your digital mini that you're working with:
This becomes your personal library and those items will stay there until you delete them. Canva does have items you can purchase, but I love that you can upload your own and just use those as much as you want! It may take a bit to upload because these aren't small files! But once they are there, you can use them again and again!
Now we're going to slide the pink polkadotted paper over to fill our space:
From there I began creating my cluster, adding a shadow under each item. Here is part of what I have:
I'll add another flower, step by step, and show you how I create the drop shadow. First I slide over a flower and resize it:
I move the flower where I want it. Then I duplicate the flower by holding down Alt/Option and clicking on the flower and sliding it away:
Now I'm going to click on the first flower (this one is a layer beneath the new one. And I click on Filter up towards the top:
I'm going to slide the Brightness all the way to the left and the contrast all the way to the right. Notice how the flower has turned completely black:
Now we're going to change the opacity. On the opposite side of the menu bar from the Filter is 5 little items. Choose the one in the middle that has the tiny boxes:
Slide the transparency slider down until the flower looks more like a faint shadow. Then you slide the top flower back over, leaving just a sliver of the newly created shadow to poke out:
Once you have your cluster done, added text (which is super cool on Canva because they have lots of fun, free fonts to work with), it is time to save and download our timeline so we can add it to Facebook. Up in the very top right hand corner there are menu items there and we are going to choose Download:
It will say that PNG is preferred and that is true if you have anything transparent on the base layer that you want to preserve. But in our case, because the pink paper covers the entire bottom, we are going to download it as a jpg. This will make it a slightly smaller file for uploading to facebook!
After that, go to your facebook profile and upload! That's it!
Mine looks a little thrown together and I would probably put a little more time and effort into it, but I wanted to give the basic idea for this tutorial! Hopefully this will be enough to get you started! Let me know in the comments what you think!
Here is today's mini:
Remember, if you've already filled this out once, you don't have to fill one of them out again! The password is always the same and will never change! I put the password at the bottom of every email I send out so you can either refer back to one of them in our inbox or you can send me a quick email at email@example.com if you can't find one! I want to make this as simple as possible!!
And if you like today's mini and/or tutorial and want to save it for later or share with a friend, feel free to pin the image below!

Dear readers,

it's been a while since I gave any musical news, but that was only the calm before the storm... The year 2014 is going to be particularly lively, as the @-quartet is brought back to life, with:

11 new and entirely original compositions,

a team renewed for one half (*),

a first concert scheduled for the end of March in Germany, and I hope the first of a long series,

and last but not least... a second album currently underway!

This 2nd album project is also for me the opportunity to experiment with a modern form of auto-production: crowdfunding. You can help bring this project to life by contributing in advance to its funding. In exchange, you receive various rewards (the CD in avant-premiere, 2 CDs "packs", alternate takes that won't be on the record etc.).

If you want to know everything about the project and contribute to make it a reality, let's meet again on the funding site, at the following address:

http://www.kisskissbankbank.com/en/projects/quartet-the-second-album

This new album will be entitled "Roots and (then he) Leaves", and it needs you to grow! Thank you so much, and happy new year celebrations!

Footnotes: (*) 3 exceptional musicians form the rythm section in the quartet: Laurent Epstein, piano, Yoni Zelnik, doublebass, and David Georgelet, drums.

This article comes from a Guitar Live challenge on my composition « Printemptation » from the album @-quartet. It was an improvisation challenge that some people found difficult (to be honest, it was !). In this article, I'm transcribing some advice I gave on the occasion as well as my personal view on the way to approach delicate scores and on the fundamental ingredients that make an improvisation worth listening to. This is mostly about the semantic aspects of improvisation (Cf. the article The (natural) Language of Improvisation). You can click on the icon on the right to download the score of this tune. You can also download the tune itself from tyhe album's page.

General presentation

Printemptation is an interesting composition from the perspective of improvisation because, although based on very common harmonic figures in Jazz (as a matter of fact, in the whole occidental music), it comes with two major difficulties.

By reading the score, you will notice that this tune is almost exclusively built on top of II V I's, either major or minor. II V I is indeed the most frequent harmonic progression in Jazz, and is actually the unavoidable grounding for all occidental music (the well know principle of tension/resolution). To play with this figure is probably the first thing that you learn when you begin improvisation. So, if the Occident is so familiar with II V I's, where are the difficulties ?

The first one is that this tune moves a lot. If you sequentially "unfold" it, let alone the "reprise" (what's the word in English?), you can count no less than eleven different keys. The second one is that the rhythmic figure changes at two different places, introducing 3/4 bars.

Approaching the harmony

As far as the harmonic progression is concerned, and given that improvising on II V I's is not very challenging, it is more important here to master the key changes than the different keys themselves. By the way, this is one of my musical creeds: what makes the quality of an improvisation is not so much the phrases than how they are articulated together. A sequence of "correct" but unrelated phrases is uninteresting. On the other hand, a logical link that makes your phrases relate to each other turns your improvisation into a true musical story, with an opening, a "middle" and an ending. That's where musicality is found.

You will also notice that the tune's theme is representative of this idea by itself: the pattern expressed in the first 3 bars is almost constantly repeated, only under different shapes (different harmonic contexts), that contribute to unify all the encountered keys, by giving them a common logic...

Approaching the rhythm

As far as the rhythmic subtleties are concerned: in occidental music, we are more accustomed to key changes than rhythmic ones. One should then pay attention not to be destabilized by the incursion of the 3/4 bars. Besides, the improvisation must be sufficiently in "harmony" with the rhythm changes so that those bars do not sound like a fifth wheel. When you listen to the tune, these measures don't sound weird (at least I hope not!). They sound natural, and that must be the case while improvising. In other words, they should be well integrated in their 4/4 environment.

However, those are indeed 3/4 bars, and should stand as such. A gross mistake would be for instance to consider bars 13, 14 and 15 (3/3, 3/3 and 2/4) as two 4/4 bars ! Although it amounts to the correct number of beats, this is definitely not the spirit of the tune...

Harmony and the notion of transition

After this general presentation, I think it is interesting to give more details about my personal vision of how to approach harmony, and above all, the notion of transition which is to me at the heart of the improvised discourse.

Taming the tune's harmony

First of all, don't be too frightened by the complexity of the chords (at least in a first step). In a Jazz score, the embellishments are often here to provide hints about the spirit of the theme, and because the theme is itself embellished at the melodic level.

Jazz musicians like to embellish, and even modify the chords at will, but then, you have to pay attention to "clashes" with the melody, when it is written (hence in particular with song themes). For instance, say I have a CM7 to play, but I'm bored, so I decide to add a 5b (I often do that, in fact). However, that's too bad for me but the guy playing the theme has to play a natural 5th, or worse, a 5# at the same time. There, we have a clash. In order to avoid that, it is important to note these embellishments in the score because they appear in the melody, and hence writing them down will prevent your accompanist from taking too much liberty. In the Printemptation score for instance, you may notice that I felt the need to write down some minor 7 chords as minor 7/9. No need for a high school grade to know that the 9th adds up nicely to a minor 7 chord, but I still wrote it down because the theme plays with it a lot. Another example: on bar number 7, the Db-7 is noted 11. Why ? Because the theme plays this 11th note. So that is an important embellishment.

Now, when you go from theme accompaniment to improvisation, that is another story. Everyone embellishes, substitutes at will... that's the whole point of Jazz. Of course, there is a risk of harmonic clash, but that risk is part of the game, and when there is a real complicity between the musicians, harmonic (or even rhythmic) ideas might come collectively. In other words, for the improvisation part, don't bother sticking to the "official" embellishments too much; that is not the point. Besides, as already mentioned by one of the participants, the chords played by Guillaume Naud behind my solo do not exactly match the score... but who cares ? What's important is the overall idea. Again, it's like a conversation actually: most of the time, you can remember the general sense of a conversation, but you wouldn't remember the exact words people said. So in a first step, make your life simpler: consider a sequence of II V I's and play with them. Your work shall then begin with spotting them in the score.

When a chord is embellished (but thought as part of a particular mode), there are two kinds of embellishments: internal and external ones. External ones are very important because they change the nature of the original chord. Hence you must respect them. The others are inherently obvious. You can use them anytime.

Example: if you see a C6/9 coming in the II V I in C, there's nothing new under the sun, really. Why ? Because in this II V I, you'd play Ionian C (C D E F G A B) as on a CM7, and the 6th and the 9th are already part of this mode. So a C6/9 in this context is just a CM7 that's showing off. All the notes are usable (read: do not change the spirit of the chord). There's one exception though (otherwise, there would be no fun): the F clashes a bit. It belongs to what's called "avoid notes": a note that you'd rather not play, or only transitionally. In the same way, a D-7/9/11 as the second degree of a II V I is nothing else but a basic minor 7 because both the 9th and the 11th belong to the mode already.

However, if the chord is now a CM7b5, the harmony suddenly gets more subtle because the b5 does not belong to the mode, so the "idea" behind the chord changes radically.

Taming a transition

Here is one last piece of advice. This is a trick I use a lot when I work on key changes (recall that I consider that very important). Between two keys, there are what I call "fixed points" and "semi-fixed points". Fixed points are notes that are common to both keys. Semi-fixed points are notes that move by only one half-tone. In order to master a key change, you must first play with the fixed points, and then the semi-fixed ones. These are true logical links in your discourse. So when I have a hard time with a particular key change, I sequence the transition, write down the modes, figure out the (semi-)fixed points, and play on them for hours until they become natural, completely digested.

In the end, improvising is simply like speaking a natural language (Cf. the article The (natural) Language of Improvisation) in which you need logical links in what you express. For instance, if I say: "I went to the store yesterday, and Resident Evil is really a crappy movie" you will have a hard time understanding what I meant or why I said such a thing, although both parts of the sentence are correct (and true BTW). However, if I say: "I went to the store yesterday; there was this big Resident Evil poster on the wall. Oh boy, what a crappy movie !" Then, everything becomes clear: you have explained how you got from point A (the store) to point B (a comment on a film). That's because the poster is a fixed point: it belongs to both contexts (keys).

That's it. And remember: Resident Evil is a crappy movie.

From the review:

Verna is a force of nature. He has the technique and talent to take it to another level.

That's the best part of it. The rest is... well, not all reviews are bound to be good, right? On the other hand, eventhough I find it a bit severe, I must admit that I mostly agree with what it says... At least, somebody speaks of the album on this important site.

A new review for the CD has just appeared on eJazzNews. Here it is, from George W. Carroll:

Talk about leaving an impression.....Didier Verna is a jazz guitarist dealing in melodic & harmonic invention. His Metheny-esque improvisational delivery is compromising, intellectual, non rigorous with a superb technique, connected with an extraordinary command of his music. In fact Verna's music is brilliantly interpreted & compelling in it's content. His music portrays images & sounds of his influences which have been by default...... Quiite positive!

A new review for the CD @-quartet has just appeared on Contemporary Jazz. Here's the review by John Luciano:

@-Quartet (At Quartet) is a very promising debut recording from a part-time musician and self-professed UZEB fan. By day, Didier Verna is a computer researcher but he's left the computers and synths at the office and has delivered a very accessible acoustic album. @-Quartet is a great example of what contemporary jazz should be. It's certainly not smooth jazz. Although it's acoustic, I have a hard time defining it as straight ahead and that's the beauty of jazz, isn't it? These nine compositions are fresh, melodically challenging and engaging. Upon first listen a number of guitarists on the scene came to mind, but Didier definitely has his own voice. Rather than fall into the comparison trap, I'd ask you to take a chance on this very talented musician and make your own comparisons. Two tracks that really stood out for me are "Les Maleties," which took me back to early Spyro Gyra, circa Morning Dance-Catching The Sun, for the guitar piano interplay, and "Paris-Nice" which has a nice aggressive feel to it.

The @-quartet is featured as a "Spotlight CD Review" in current issue of the Indie Music magazine.

Here is the review by Darryl Gregory:

Didier Verna is in quartet mode with his new CD @-quartet. Verna steps out in front with his beautifully melodic guitar playing and leads his gang of four through nine tracks of seemingly effortless arrangements of original jazz. The difficulty lies in how to categorize his take on jazz. In the opening track, there is definitely a bossa feel, and yet we also have that feeling of West Coast smoothness in some tracks, and then there is the jumpy-intricate improvs of be-bop. Since I'm a big fan of eclecticism in art, I choose not to categorize, but for the sake of a review all I can say is get the CD and enjoy.

 In true quartet fashion, the players each bring their unique voice to the group and something greater than the parts arises. Guillaume Naud's piano playing is in the right places and complimentary to Verna's melodic direction. Their interaction is evident throughout, but especially on track four, "Song for L." Gilles Naturel's bass walks and sings, and his time is right in the pocket. A good jazz drummer always amazes me. David Georgelet definitely has that amazement factor down, not because he is fancy or intricate, but because he plays like a vocalist - he knows how to make the kit sing and follow not only the rhythmic structure, but the melody line as well.

 Only a part time musician (Verna's other gig is as a computer researcher) this CD definitely has a full time sound. You'd think that these guys have been on the road for years -- their sound is that tight and complimentary. Definitely a great addition to any jazz collection.

Sometimes, it's hard. You don't sell many CDs, you hardly get one 5 lines review out of dozens of requests. And then, a Monday Morning, you go check your cdbaby page, and you find this from the last customer ...

great CD of original straight ahead contemporary jazz

 This is a very good CD (I gave it the highest rating). The songs are original and good, and the musicianship outstanding. It is not overplayed, it is not underplayed, everything fits together well. Verna has two of the songs available as mp3 files on his site, check them out (the rest of the CD, except for one or two songs, is similar in sound). The sound is modern but not too abstract, very listenable and flowing, it is more straight-ahead than fusion. The solos are terrific, Verna is an outstanding jazz guitarist. His tone/sound is more like Metheny than Scofield, but his lines are his own. I'm looking forward to his next CD.

... and then, you go happy again. I just wrote a new song called Monday Morning :-)

The aim of Carbon2Chem® is to capture greenhouse gases from steel mills and convert them into raw materials for the chemical industry.
The project was launched in 2016 by the MPI CEC together with thyssenkrupp, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and many other partners.
On September 20th, a pilot plant in Duisburg is launched. Gases from stell mills will be converted into recyclable materials under real conditions for the first time - e.g. into basics for fertilizers, fuels and plastics such as ammonia, methanol or ethanol.
The Federal Ministry of Education and Research published further information on the event in it's recent press release.
The media also covered the topic:
The journal VDI-Nachrichten recently published several articles on the project. Deutschlandfunk and Quarks (WDR 5) a well as Lokalzeit Ruhr also broadcasted a report on Carbon2Chem.

Nexavar is an orally active, multi-kinase inhibitor approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma. Nexavar has wide anti-tumor effects and has been tested in a variety of other cancers, including prostate and melanoma.In a pilot study, 6 patients with recurrent NSCLC were treated with single agent Nexavar®. This study demonstrated single agent activity with partial responses in two patients and stable disease in two others. This led to a larger study involving 52 patients with relapsed NSCLC treated with single agent Nexavar. In this study there were no partial or complete remissions, but 59% had stable disease. The median progression-free survival was 2.7 months and the overall survival was 205 days. There were no grade IV toxicities. 8% of patients in this study had bleeding. Three patients in this study had Nexavar discontinued due to hand-foot syndrome, elevated lipase and myocardial infarction. A quality of life study concluded that Nexavar did not adversely impact patient-reported outcomes in function and symptom response during treatment.
The results of a phase I clinical trial evaluated the combination of Nexavar and Iressa® (gefitinib) for the treatment of 32 patients with refractory or recurrent NSCLC were presented at the 2005 ASCO meeting. It was concluded that Nexavar and Iressa was a safe combination for treating patients with NSCLC.
In another phase I/II clinical trial, Nexavar was combined with Taxol® (paclitaxel) and Paraplatin® (carboplatin) for treatment of 15 patients with advanced progressive NSCLC. The partial response rate was 29% and 50% had stable disease for a disease control rate of 79%. The median duration of response was 25 weeks and progression-free survival was 7.5 months. There appeared to be no increase in toxicity from adding Nexavar to Taxol and Paraplatin in this study.
Recently, however, Nexavar was dropped from an ongoing trial. Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals and Onyx Pharmaceuticals have stopped a late stage trial of their cancer drug Nexavar (sorafenib) in patients with nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), because it was not showing the hoped for increase in survival. The ESCAPE study was a multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled phase 3 trial involving more than 900 NSCLC patients at over 140 clinics in North and South America, Europe and Asia.
Following a planned interim analysis, the trial's independent data monitoring committee (DMC) concluded that the drug was not going to meet the trial's main goal of improving overall survival.
In conclusion, although the discontinuation of Nexavar in a phase III trial throws a shadow upon its future role in lung cancer, there are several suppooting phase II trials and it should be considered supported by medical literature.

Note: This is the second of a three part series further exploring Sufjan Stevens' 2015 album Carrie & Lowell. Part 1 can be found here: The Sufjan Stevens Narrative Spectrum: A Visual Guide. Part 3 can be found here: The Three Musical Victories on Sufjan's Carrie & Lowell. For links to other articles on Sufjan's music and Carrie & Lowell in particular please see the end of this article.
As I have tearfully listened to Sufjan Steven's Carrie & Lowell in several concentrated waves over the course of 2015 (no seriously) the album has failed to make sense to me as a single cohesive narrative.
Every song offers brief moments from Sufjan's life: here we find him a child visiting his mother in Oregon, now we find him an adult standing next to her at her deathbed, then we find him living into his grief through destructive thoughts and behavior, and finally there he is learning to let go of the past and the mother who haunts him. The songs are fading polaroid snapshots pinned to a wall where the general emotions make sense when taken together but the overall story does not because the chronology of his story is all jumbled up, sometimes even within a single song. Carrie & Lowell is obviously a singular work meant to be listened to as a whole and in that sense the album makes sense. And yet, as I could not piece together his journey by listening to the album from start to finish.
Aesthetically, I have no criticisms of Sufjan's tracklisting. It is impeccable. Besides, when it comes to literature I am used to and have even come to relish non-linear narratives. Even so, one day I began to wonder what would happen if I attempted to put the songs in chronological order. Here now is my best guess as to how Carrie & Lowell should be arranged, with the songs put in the order in which they happened in Sufjan's life. Consider this alternative tracklist and recommended playlist.
A full admission from the start: I could be entirely wrong about my tracklisting and am open to hear other suggestions. What makes Sufjan's music so generally tough to sort through is he continually jumps back and forth between different narrators and different metaphors, something I pointed out in last week's article on his "narrative spectrum". On top of that, a number of songs on Carrie & Lowell (e.g., "Eugene" and "Should Have Known Better") contain flashbacks and flash forwards. In other words, this tracklist is a hypothesis and Sufjan's work as a whole remains open to interpretation.
We are going to take this in waves.
The first list is the general re-ordered tracklist of Carrie & Lowell.
The second list is the re-ordered tracklist broken up into significant sections of Sufjan's life, with descriptions of those sections.
The third list is an expanded tracklist including songs from other Sufjan albums that have references to his parents or family.
List 1: Simple Chronological Tracklist
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER Part 1 ("When I was 3, 3 maybe 4")
EUGENE Part 1 ("I just wanted to be near you")
BLUE BUCKET OF GOLD (A told from the perspective of Sufjan's mother)
EUGENE Part 2 ("At the bed near your death")
EUEGENE Part 3 ("Now I'm drunk and afraid")
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER Part 2 ("Don't back down, nothing can be changed")
BLUE BUCKET OF GOLD (As told from the perspective of Sufjan himself)
As I see it there are four distinct time periods represented in Sufjan's life.
Period 1—Childhood: Young Sufjan, abandoned by his mother, goes back and forth visiting her Oregon during his summers. He seems to observe her from afar, never getting too close. A part of Sufjan will always be lost to the abyss of a mother who was not there for him. Even while alive the ghost of Carrie haunts Sufjan. A parallel narrative from the perspective of Carrie (his mother) is offered, with her singing a breakup song of sorts to her ex-husband (and Sufjan's stepfather) Lowell. She is left pleading with Lowell "Why won't you love me right as I was ready to love you?"
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER Part 1
EUGENE Part 1
BLUE BUCKET OF GOLD (Told from the perspective of Sufjan's mother)
Period 2—Adulthood and Relationships: The adult Sufjan, try though he might, struggles to make connections with other people, most especially his lovers. These two songs are specifically about Sufjan's troubled relationships, and yet Carrie presence (or lack thereof) hovers over them, the emotional deficit she gave her son working its way through his attempts at intimacy. He finds himself in unhealthy and perhaps abusive relationships. Sufjan himself is a kind of ghost to those he is close to; he is dead while yet alive. His prayer has always been to love and be loved, but love will forever be mingled with pain and thus the everpresent distance between himself and those he attempts to love.
Period 3—Carrie's Death: Sufjan finds himself at his mother's deathbed, with her barely alive. He looks back with aching regret, powerless to change anything in the past. At this stage he is more reflective and has not yet entered into a period of grief or despair. In the end though, he is filled with the all-pervading reality of everyone's eventual death. His mother, now dead, comes to him and attempts to guide him through. In fact, the ghost of Sufjan's mother could be said to inhabit Sufjan from this point onward (as he mentioned in interviews around the album's release), with her controlling the destructive behavior he finds himself committing in Period 4. Sufjan has always longed to be near his mother, but this sudden "nearness" in the wake of her death leads to a mental, emotional, and spiritual sickness/breakdown which he had not experienced up to this point in his life before, a man in his mid-30's.
EUGENE Part 2
Period 4—Pilgrimage, Depression, Destruction, and hints at Redemption: Sufjan goes on a wandering pilgrimage after his mother's death, perhaps bringing a lover with him for all or part of it. He takes himself to the places in Oregon that remind him of her. He enters a deep existential darkness. Again, he struggles to be close to the ones he loves. He wants them in his life and yet he wants to be away from them. Sufjan enters into heavy drug use, most likely heroin, and fails to see a way to escape the "dragon". He entertains numerous suicidal thoughts, seeing no real reason to continue living. And yet, in the shadow of the cross there is only light. Whether or not it is an oppressive light or a light of freedom remains to be seen, but in his darkest moment Sufjan enters an upswing. Now, looking at his past with regretful disdain one final time, Sufjan learns to let go. Everything he sees and feels leads back to his mother but he has come to the point where he can no longer look back; he must boldly press on into the future, focusing only on what is ahead of him. Choosing to live, choosing to trust blindly in God's grace, accepting beauty when he sees it, Sufjan, fool though he is, finds illumination in time spent with family, particularly in the life of his niece. Finally, Sufjan reaches out to his lover/friend. He is now ready to emotionally engage again, to enter into a relationship, and if not with another person, then he will cry out to God, his ultimate hope.
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER Part 2
BLUE BUCKET OF GOLD (Told from the perspective of Sufjan)
List 3: Expanded Chronological Tracklisting, including songs from other albums
Here I try to make sense of the songs Sufjan included on his previous albums that already let us into the story of his youth and family life. These are songs we can now look at through the lens of Carrie & Lowell, songs we might have previously passed over thinking "Oh, this is just another sad Sufjan song." With Carrie & Lowell the map of Sufjan's life has been vastly expanded, bringing the meaning of past songs into sharper focus.
This list includes the same order as the other lists but with the other songs inserted where I saw them breaking into the Carrie & Lowell chronology, put in boldface for emphasis.
Songs: I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER Part 1 ("When I was 3, 3 maybe 4")
EUGENE Part 1 ("I just wanted to be near you")
ROMULUS Part 1 from Michigan: Here Sufjan delves further into the sadness, loneliness, and shame he felt in relation to his mother. In the first three verses we get three snapshots of when Sufjan got to spend time with his mother in his youth, all of them a kind of pathetic failure at parenting on Carrie's part.
SEVEN SWANS from Seven Swans: An apocalyptic prophetic vision melded with suburban American life, this song mentions Sufjan's mother and father, though it is not very apparent how they fit into the loosely told story of the Lord's return. Of special note is its reference to "the dragon", a character or symbol mentioned twice in Carrie & Lowell in the songs "Drawn to the Blood" and "No Shade in the Shadow of the Cross."
BLUE BUCKET OF GOLD (Told from the perspective of Sufjan's mother)
SIAMESE TWINS, BELLY BUTTON, GODZUKI, AND SATAN'S SAXOPHONE from A Sun Came: These are all silly, absurdist "skits" taken from A Sun Came. The pitch of the vocals has been modulated to sound higher in order to make the narrator, presumedly Sufjan, sound younger, though it is not clear if the "skits" were recorded when Sufjan was a child/teenager or recorded during his college years. Either way, the "skits" feel like they are done in the voice of a child, as if Sufjan is trying to portray a younger version of himself. Most notable is "Satan's Saxonphone's" which tells the story of "my mother" who would vomit all over everything in the house only to have the dog come in and slip on it. The "story" ends there, descending into a two minute anarchic pseudo-jazz free-jam. Is this just pure Suf-silliness or an underhanded jab at his mother?
THE SEER'S TOWER from Illinoise: One of the strangest Sufjan lyrics (which is saying a lot), which finds a sister-song in "Sevens Swans" in it's blending of the apocalyptic with the mundane, Sufjan somehow manages to portray the Seer's tower as a kind of divine throne room. Towards the end of the song though he suddenly decides to mention his parents: "Oh my mother, she betrayed us, but my father loved and bathed us." In the context of Illinoise as an album those lines are a bit of a non sequitur, but when related to what we know about his upbringing now, they seem much more significant.
SISTER from Seven Swans: This song is tangentially about Sufjan's sister who lives in Detroit.
ROMULUS Part 2 from Michigan: A grown up Sufjan sees the veil of his mother pulled back, revealing a repulsive person, someone he would never want to be close with.
DJOHARIAH from All Delighted People: A song about Sufjan's sister, she too faces much hardship in her love relationships. This song is notable for its focus on her as a kind of representation of universal motherhood "For the mother is, the mother is glorious victorious, the mother is the heart of the world." Sufan's mother was a "failure", but motherhood itself as an office or a virtue is something he very much believes in and extols.
EUGENE Part 2 ("At the bed near your death")
EUEGENE Part 3 ("Now I'm drunk and afraid")
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER Part 2 ("Don't back down, nothing can be changed")
BLUE BUCKET OF GOLD (Told from the perspective of Sufjan)
As a reference, here is the visual guide I laid out in last week's article. It definitely helps to listen to Carrie & Lowell while thinking of where on this spectrum each song lies.

Melbourne Down Under (MDU) is a campaign to raise the profile of Port Phillip Bay's unique marine life through several high profile media platforms. A partnership with state government, local councils, key stakeholders and community groups, the project also raises funds through product sales to seed fund marine projects in the local community.
The lynchpin to the project was Melbourne Down Under – the jewels of Port Phillip Bay, a stunning coffee table book showcasing the colour and diversity of the local marine environment. World-class photographs and entertaining text is used to engage and educate the readers while highlighting important conservation messaging. A list of local friends groups and tourism operators are also included to encourage people to get involved in their community and see first hand the wonders of the bay.
To support the book and meet project objectives, MDU required an attractive and user friendly website portal that could effectively promote MDU, support social media efforts and manage product purchase and distribution.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Drivers Download For Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, XP, Vista, Mac, Software, Scanner Driver, Installation, Manual, Wireless Setup – The HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One ignores some fancy functions, such as a legal flatbed. However, it also makes you return only two thirds. That could potentially make it a far better choice if you don't need extra. One interesting thing is not just the same printer with fewer functions. It's also a bit slower and printing high-quality messages is a little better, but the graphics quality is slightly lower.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 And also one of the fastest inkjet MFPs we evaluated, with rates ranging from 13.2 pages per minute (ppm) to mixed text and messages with monochrome graphics up to 4.6 ppm for half-page images on plain paper, such as 2 ppm for photos of half a page on glossy paper. For our hardest, high-resolution, full-page photos printed on glossy paper, OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus keeps prices just above the average of 0.56 ppm. Scanning is also relatively fast.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 And it is also an operating cost that is stated to be low, which is 1.6 cents per black and white page and 7.2 cents per colored web page. It's cheaper than 2.8 cents for black and white and 8.2 cents for the shade Kodak claims is an important marketing factor for its MFP. Printing enough web pages and operating costs can make 8600 cheaper to have for a lifetime than more affordable MFPs, far less capable at higher prices per web page.
All the same, even though the problem of the nozzle being stopped requires a little printer flash, the balance of speed, output quality, paper handling, paper function, MFP function, the luster of the HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer will also make it the Editor's choice as the opposite. Ideally, HP will fix the problem, so that it will no longer be a problem. Meanwhile, if you don't mind managing the possibility of a nozzle clogging in a new printer, and also agree to take the time to clean it, you will still get a printer that is worth getting.

I did not see this talk initially during conference but I sure highlighted a good portion of it when I read it in the Ensign. In fact, it made such an impact on me that I have used it for training purposes. That's why I'm sneaking it in here now.
It seems like a simple concept but it's not that easy to teach. In order to be a good leader, we need to be a good follower. The world teaches the opposite I think. But when I think of my former bosses, the ones I respected the most are the ones that demonstrated a good amount of humility.

What's It Worth? Is Bullion Ever Collectible?
Everyone likes to have silver or gold in their portfolio, but 99 percent of bullion coins are just that — bullion only — and worth only the gold value. At any given time, it can be worth from 5 percent under to 6 percent over gold value. These bullion gold coins are minted and sold by most countries. South Africa has krugerrands, China has...

What's It Worth? To Clean Or Not To Clean
One of the most enduring debates in the world of fine art and collectibles is more nuanced than just whether or not to clean an item.
This controversial subject is generally debated in a cerebral and studious manner among aficionados, experts, collectors and academics. But often the discussion turns ugly. I have never seen fisticuffs or...
What's It Worth? German Porcelain From Dresden & Meissen
The city of Dresden and the Meissen factory area are known for their fine porcelain manufacturing, going back centuries. While most pieces of this type are soft (price wise) right now, we recently purchased a nice collection (one piece of which is pictured here).
What's It Worth? Large Items In The Age Of E-Commerce
One of our most frequent hurdles in buying and brokering estate artwork is being certain the cost of shipping the item to the buyer doesn't equal or exceed the selling price. Recently we sold two fine-arts auction lots that our customers in other parts of the country and overseas would have been willing to pay over $500 to $1,000...
What's It Worth? Unusual Serving Pieces
Before income taxes, and when prosperous households had help, stainless steel flatware was not only a must but also meticulously designed for a distinct purpose. These pieces required special care, and thorough knowledge of their use – as you wouldn't want to embarrass yourself by serving a food with the wrong utensil.

Harry Bertoia was a modern artist in the '60s who created all kinds of unusual metal work. His art sold in art galleries and furniture galleries along with the likes of Knolls, who was a purveyor of modernist, Danish modern and other mid-century artists.

Rochester, NY Mayor Lovely Warren joined Chris Bauer of the New York State Office of Planning, Development and Community Infrastructure to celebrate the grand opening of the Erie Harbor Promenade Pedestrian Bridge.
The project completes a missing segment in the city's Genesee Riverway Trail system by extending the trail through a compact, privately-owned urban parcel, adjacent to a proposed apartment building and the Genesee River.
"With ROC the Riverway, we are assembling a puzzle that is going to create a beautiful new picture along the Genesee River through downtown, and the Erie Harbor Promenade Pedestrian Bridge represents a major piece of that puzzle," said mayor Warren. "I am grateful that gov. Cuomo and all of our partners in Albany share our vision for the job-creating, community-building potential of the mighty Genesee River and I want to thank New York secretary of state Rosanna Rosado for supporting the Promenade Project."
The new pedestrian bridge affords new views of the Genesee River and is part of the larger, $4.5 million Promenade at Erie Harbor Project, which also includes work on the cofferdams, river and raceway walls, the promenade and overlooks, landscaping, sidewalks, and railings. The new pedestrian bridge will connect Court St. to the Promenade at Erie Harbor Park, which is nearing completion along the riverfront parallel to South Ave. between Court St.and the Frederick Douglass-Susan B. Anthony Bridge. With its central location, the bridge will link important ROC the Riverway projects that will be built along the Riverway Trail, including the ROC City Skate Park to the south and the re-imagined Broad St. Aqueduct to the north.
Bergmann provided preliminary and final design services for this complex, multi-use trail project located downtown.
The promenade interfaces with several National Register eligible structures including; the Johnson & Seymour Raceway, the Court St. masonry arch bridge, the former Lehigh Valley Railroad Station (now the Dinosaur BBQ restaurant) and the Court St. Dam. The project fulfills many goals for the city including increasing public waterfront access, serving as a catalyst for the private development and providing a backdrop for public education of the rich transportation heritage of the project site.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has dedicated $50 million under the Finger Lakes Forward initiative to launch the first phase of the ROC the Riverway program with 13 transformative projects. Funding for the Promenade project was provided by the New York State Department of State under Title 11 of the Environmental Protection Fund.

Dead beat president owes $500k - how about a GoFundme for the greatest president since Obama

"Greatest President Since Obama"ReplyDelete
Who wrote your snarky headline? Are you an adult? Your juvenile headline makes you look petty. But you don't realize it since, in your mind, you cannot be wrong - regardless of the cost.
You devoted an enormous amount of time trying to highlight that others are infallible. Sadly, it got to your head and you think of yourself as infallible.
What goes around comes around!
what a profound comment
- HonestyAugust 8, 2019 at 3:53 AM
Yep, there you have it: You're sadly convinced that you're infallible.ReplyDelete

Hey Guys!!!Am so happy I got mine from Oliver Parker. My blank ATM card can withdraw € 2,000 daily. I got it from Him last week and now I have €14,000 for free. The blank ATM withdraws money from any ATM machines and there is no name on it, it is not traceable and now i have money for business and enough money for me and my family to live on . I am really happy i met Oliver Parker because i met two people before her and they took my money not knowing that they were scams. But am happy now. Oliver Parker sent the card through DHL and i got it in two days. Get your own card from her now he is not like other scammer pretending to have the ATM card, He is giving it out for free to help people even if it is illegal but it helps a lot and no one ever gets caught. i'm grateful to Oliver Parker because she changed my story all of a sudden . The card works in all countries except, Mali and Nigeria. Oliver Parker email address is: email@example.com

Chris Adams, our Employment, Support and Training Manager talks about how apprenticeships can be for anyone, at any age, to support National Apprenticeship Week…
With National Apprenticeship Week taking place this week, I think it's really important to challenge the preconception that apprenticeships are just for younger people.
An apprenticeship is open to people at any age and from any background and, most importantly, they provide an opportunity for people who might not normally get one.
Supporting people into work
In the 17 years that I've worked with Radian, our Employment, Skills and Training function (which includes apprenticeships) has certainly come a long way.
We originally started by growing a youth and community centre under the charitable arm of Radian. This evolved into a much bigger catering project (we started off as a café, before growing into a catering company) that was aimed at training young people through catering.
We would have young people with us for as little as one day placements through to six month programmes. The project received Lottery funding for the first six years, but it grew to such an extent that it was catering for anything up to 500 events a year, training between 30 and 50 people every year.
Creating new opportunities
After the success of this project, we developed an employment support and training project that we launched in 2012. The idea behind it was to get 60 people into work and 1000 into training over a three year trial period.
We ended up supporting 331 people into work and 1173 into training. To date these numbers have grown to over 600 and 1750 respectively.
As part of this project we delivered a work and training programme for 18-24 year olds in partnership with People Plus (A4e at the time) and the Wheatsheaf Trust, providing six month paid placements within Radian's offices. Within a two year period we had offered 40 placements and 34 of these young people sustained employment. This success rate was more than double the average of similar programmes and we were invited to the House of Commons to celebrate. The success of this programme led to the development of the Radian Apprenticeships Scheme due to launch in 2018.
We've got lots to offer
We have a great breadth of opportunities within our organisation, including customer services, business admin, catering, construction, painting and decorating and gas and electrical engineering. We have a social commitment to our communities and we want to see our apprentices flourish, so if you're looking for your first job, or you're thinking of trying your hand at something new, we would love to hear from you.

One Stop Shine is a cleaning solution in a spray bottle that will clean cars, trucks, and other vehicles, making them gleam as if they were new. It'll work on all parts of your vehicle inside and out, including areas constructed with rubber, leather, or vinyl. The solution contains no water, and is quite powerful, so you'll only need one spray and one wipe to clean virtually any area of the vehicle. Using it is like buffing, waxing and washing your ride all in one go, and you won't have any soap suds to clear off or oily residue to rinse away when you're done.
Using One Stop Shine to clean your car or other vehicle will make it look shiny and new, as if you just got it out of the storeroom. It'll restore the original look of faded bumpers and dashboards, and bring dusty tire rims back to brilliant life. After this solution has removed all of the dirt from the inside and outside of your vehicle, it will also protect the vehicle from future dirt. That way, it'll continue to look attractive for a long time. By using this cleaning solution, you will be able to clean any vehicle more effectively and efficiently than if you just used water.
The cost of One Stop Shine is $10.00 plus $6.99 shipping. The special TV offer allows you to receive a second One Stop Shine by paying an extra fee of $6.99 for a total price of $23.98.
This price was obtained from the As Seen on TV commercial page which was taken offline due to One Stop Shine being discontinued. One Stop Shine may still be found for sale on Amazon or Ebay.

The high-tech polymers within One Stop Shine are what makes it so effective when youre using it to clean a vehicle. Its polymers are even powerful enough to remove spray paint and ash that has come from a fire. After it strips away any dirt off your ride, without removing the paint, what remains of the solution will act as protection, guarding the car against future dirt. However, this protective coating will not feel oily to the touch.
If you use One Stop Shine to clean your vehicle, and then you try to sell it, you will likely find a buyer more quickly due to the cars shiny cleanliness.
The One Stop Shine formula is waterless; plus, you wont waste water when you use it as you may when you wash your car with water and soap. Often, when people wash their cars that way, most of the water ends up running off the car and onto the ground.
One Stop Shine always comes in a spray bottle, so it is incredibly easy to apply to your car when it needs a washing.
Unlike with many other cleaning solutions that may irritate your hands, it is not necessary that you wear gloves while using One Stop Shine.
There is no cloth included with One Stop Shine, but it does not require the use of a specific type of cloth. Note: It is normally best to use a cloth thats on the soft side, so there wont be a high risk of it scratching your vehicle.
The bottle that houses One Stop Shine is solid white, so you cannot see through it. This is a disadvantage when youre trying to figure out how much of the solution you have left, so you can determine when to get a replacement bottle.
If you use your vehicle for a long time without cleaning it properly, your tire rims will become covered in dust. However, if you spray them with One Stop Shine and give them a wipe, theyll sparkle and gleam again.
You can restore some of the brightness to aging, fading bumpers by cleaning them with One Stop Shine.
Once you spray your moldings with this cleaning solution and wipe them down, theyll look as good as they did when the vehicle was new.
Dashboards and door panels tend to fade as they age, too, especially if the car frequently sits in the hot sun, but cleaning these areas with One Stop Shine will bring back some vibrancy.
One Stop Shine will also make faded seats, whether these are made of leather or some other material, look vibrant again.
When you use One Stop Shine, you wont need to get multiple products in order to clean your car in its entirety, as youll be able to successfully complete the job with just this one.
Since One Stop Shine offers the same effects as buffing, waxing, and washing all on its own, youll no longer need to spend hours doing all three things.

Ford Model A Pickup Restoration December 2012
My goal at the end of 2012 was that the front end with fenders, hood and tank stands on the frame, I have not reached that target but I'm very close.
An important part, of course, the new Ford emblem is already fixed at the radiator shell.
The emblem is pressed into the hole of the shell, but the ring at the back first must be flattened to increase the diameter. Then press it into the hole and it holds solid as a rock.
For my further work, I had to lift the cabin of he car so far, that it did no longer rest on the frame. I did it with two 4-square timbers which I have placed along the frame.
Now the body to frame welt is cuted to the right length and I made the holes. The welt is finally glued to the frame so that the cabin, fenders and the gas tank are not in direct contact to the frame, preventing any squeaking.
The frame number I have not covered, of course.
On the front and rear axle various castle nuts were not provided with a safety pin yet. Without any fender mounted I have more free space, so I've also done this job now.
My old problem child is the accelerator spring. After my first spring was broken and it was also too strong, I wanted to find a better solution. My carburetor would be harmed with such a strong spring.
My first try was with these weaker springs, but the tests have shown that they are too weak and can not always close the throttle reliable.
I.e. I had to take my original spring and modify it. On the picture you see on the left hand side the original spring, right my version with 180 degrees less winding. To bend springs, I use a vise and a screwdriver to get them in my desired shape.
In this positions the spring has no tense. The original spring would have a primary tension of 180 degrees in this position!
This is now the resting position, i.e. idle throttle and the spring force is perfect and not too strong.
To mount the fender and other parts I needed some screws with a black head (is looking better). Powder coating is still the most durable solution for me. I have wrapped the screws, except the head with aluminum foil and hung them on a wire.
Powder coating is finished and the screws are ready.
Some parts like the shutoff valve can be easily mounted when the gas tank is not mounted to the frame yet. I have everything disassembled and cleaned. Finally I have protected all parts with RPM for a good rust protection.
Also the fuel filter has been sandblasted, powder coated and provided with a new filter.
The hood does not rest directly on the tank, between is a cowl lacing mounted.
Below, the lacing is riveted - it is original with the rivet heads inside.
To mount these rivets without scratching the paint, I had to make this spreader first by sawing and filing.
The task is now very easy. On the side of the rivet head I have placed a small piece of PET film to protect the rivet head and on the opposite side my spreader. Then take the pliers and squeeze. Finally, turn the spreader by 90 degrees and flatten the rivet with the flat side of the spreader.
The lacing on top is slightly different. The lacing has a wire inside and is fixed on both ends.
Then a hook pulls down the wire at the center position and fixes it.
This is how it looks after assembling.
What's missing, of course, is the gas gauge. This is done now.
The gas gauge is built in and shows an empty tank. It can be calibrated by bending the wire rod.
The tank is ready now, but it is still not on the frame :-( But I'm sure that I can show you that photo by the the end of January …
