their evolution as something of great influence. One of the greatest techniques that came with this movement was painting en plein air, which implied a lot challenges for these painters. First of, it meant having to leave their work studios. To many of them, their studios were their source of inspiration, focus and console so stepping out of comfort zones was a brave move. It also meant a great deal to the time of…
What we indulge in through media, written text, and daily converse should not be overlooked, like everything, without a bit of skepticism. One extremely good example is shown through the 2004 film Crash. One of the scenes in this film takes place in a movie studio with two directors arguing over how an African American actor is presenting himself in a take. The directors argue that this actor is not speaking in a “black tone,” saying “…don’t…
storage closets . . .”pg.705 This quote states that there were not enough classrooms this lead to using converted storage closets.

title track from their EP 100 Miles and Runnin’, however, included a diss of Ice Cube. N.W.A released their second studio album in 1999, titled “Efil4zaggin” (Niggaz4life spelled backwards). On Cube’s first solo album, he had avoided direct attacks on N.W.A, but on Death Certificate, Ice Cube's second full-length release, he responded to the disses. This feud went on for a bit before Ice Cube’s released his infamous track titled “No Vaseline.” In it, he individually dissed each remaining…
caught between these two events; thanksgiving. Good, now let's focus on the presents, oops I mean the present. It really is the most wonderful time of the year. Spirits are lifted and everyone seems to be in a better mood. The days have gotten a bit colder and the hats and mittens are out. Christmas music is on the radio and ABC family has started their 25 days of Christmas. It’s the time to watch ELF about 300 times and cook cookies that have little christmas tree prints…
to be reminded of this from time to time. Always look for that great sound from the source. Because of the fact that the acoustic guitar can be harder to service and modify than the electric guitar, there are fewer things that a musician or studio engineer can change on an acoustic guitar when it is brought into a recording session. Limited as they may be, there are a few things that may…
no live-action film ever could. By the Summer of 1934, Disney had strong structured plans for his “Feature Symphony” project, or what is well-known today as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Disney and his crew spent endless hours in the animation studio, working at fullspeed to finish the feature, but they were met with the complexity of drawing the human anatomy. Stepping in a new direction for animation, Disney’s animators took classes and made shorts with human characters to practice for the…
interesting subject wouldn’t come close to describing it. He was a visionary who saw himself as a shaman, a shooting star, and a poet amongst other things. Any fan of The Doors can tell you a plethora of information regarding Jim Morrison and each bit of information more intriguing than the last. That is the mystique and appeal that Morrison created when he set out to California and started to get in touch with the shaman we always believed to be with…
get rid of 7.2 million tonnes of food every year – more than half of which could be eaten safely. That’s enough food to fill Wembley Stadium … not once, but seven times per year. {Sound of audience reaction, e.g. “Wow!”} Host: Joining me here in the studio we have the Taylor family. A year ago, they decided to try an experiment. They wanted to reduce the amount of food they waste every year by 50%. Tell us about your experiment, Mrs. Taylor. Mrs. Taylor: Well, I’ve been interested in food waste…
“I’m nothing special, in fact i'm a bit of a bore” these lyrics are the ones that came screeching out of my throat as I hastily clean the kitchen in my tiny apartment in Dublin City. Cillian, my best friend was on his was to my apartment after visiting my brother hospital, he’s done this every Friday since Simon was sent to hospital. This has become the routine over the past two weeks for me, walk home from college, do some work and wait for him to arrive so I could make dinner and watch…
