Music Theory Lessons – Intro
As a guitar player you might have learned open position chords, the minor pentatonic and maybe even the major pentatonic scale shapes.
If so, you are at the classic next barrier of starting to practice the modes and arpeggios.
Up until now you didn't really need music theory at any depth, you just learn some chords, play some songs.
Should you have played blues solos using the minor pentatonic you haven't really needed theory either, actually, at that stage it won't really help at all!
Blues based guitar music is theoretically very complicated, it breaks all kinds of rules all the time, so trying to fuse theory with blues solos isn't going to sell the concept of music theory to the aspiring student very well.
However, if you start playing with arpeggios and modes, need to change key for a song last minute, read a chart, explain a musical concept to a musician that doesn't play guitar, anything like that, an understanding of music theory suddenly become vital.
With this in mind, let's take a look at normal music theory, the stave and how all this works.
Who knows, maybe you'll even start reading and writing music on the stave yourself!
Music Theory on the stave
There are many basic rules in music theory that become more clear from seeing it on the stave.
Most of these rules get pretty advanced in practice so it is often a case of you ending up knowing a lot more about music theory than what you can execute on the guitar.
This doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing, it might even be good to put your mind at rest now, you could learn how to play it all as you go through songs and scale exercises further down the line.
To start understanding how music work you need to first understand a few basics, like: How many notes there are in an octave; 7, 8 or 12?

saving money, living life, brooklyn
Two years ago I created a list of ten superfluous items that I did not own.
In that time, my possessions have changed considerably: Moving from a mid-sized bedroom share in a large townhouse in NJ to a tiny bedroom share in a small upper west side apartment to a mid-sized 1br on my own in brooklyn. I have had to down-size then up-size during the course of these moves. My kitchen supplies, in particular, took a beating.
I have already wrote about not owning a smart phone so I'm not including that in this list.
When I moved to the UWS my bedroom was too small to have a desk (it barely fit a bed!), so I sold the desk and have gone without since.
Although I do have room for a desk in my 1br now, I use the kitchen table in place of a desk and don't see a reason for both.
For paper-work storage, I organize everything into hanging file folders that I store in an easily accessible portable file storage container.
There are times when heating up leftovers in the oven is inconvenient and waiting an hour for a baked potato requires some planning. However, microwaves, even the small ones, take up valuable kitchen space, which does not overrule the convenience factor in my book.
Besides, most of the food cooked/reheated in a microwave is kind of… gross. Your food comes out half warm half cold half soggy. The oven may take a bit more time (not nearly as bad as you think though) but it leaves thing tasting more… delicious.
As for microwave-foods, I make stove top popcorn, oatmeal, soups and leftovers reheat perfectly in the oven. It just takes a little more planning with tasks like softening butter and defrosting meat.
Similar to microwaves, plastic containers are convenient for leftovers but also kind of… gross.
They're difficult to get completely clean, are often stained, usually lid-less, and never the size you're looking for.
Instead, I have a set of 4 pyrex glass bowls with lids that I use for all food storage.
For reheating lunch in the microwave at work, I don't have to worry about the glass melting or smelling funny the way plastic sometimes does.
Quasi-related, I also don't regularly use ziploc baggies, saran wrap, or aluminum foil. On a rare occasion I'll pick up aluminum foil but it is not something I keep on hand. The glass bowls and a few smaller glass/ceramic containers I have work just fine.
Keep in mind, I am cooking for one most the time so I never have huge amounts of food to store in the fridge.
Same as two years ago, I still do not have a dresser.
I do have room for one now in this apartment, but I do not want a piece of big clunky furniture. I don't need it. I simply use my bedroom closet and hang everything.
I have small foldable drawers for my undergarments/pj's, a small shelf in my closet for jeans, then hang the rest of it.
This also makes it more difficult for me to "forget" about clothes buried in the back of a drawer.
When I moved into Manhattan my crock pot was one of the items I consciously decided to give away because I just did not use it enough and would not have space in the kitchen to store it.
I know everyone disagrees but for me, as a single person, a crock pot is a waste of space.
After owning a crock pot for a few years and trying out a bunch of recipes, I determined that the crock pot was only useful for making one food: pulled pork.
Yes, you can use crock pots for chili and soup and marinara sauce but these foods are just as easy to make on the stove.
I could not justify keeping a crock pot around when I could simply use a pot for the same items instead.
If I was cooking for more than one and had a less busy lifestyle, I can see the appeal.
I am perfectly fine with leaving a crockpot unattended for 8 hours at a time. Maybe 10, but that is my limit.
Unfortunately, I am out of the house at a minimum of 11 hours and that is assuming I don't have to work late or will not stop for errands after work or that the train is running on time.
I just don't feel comfortable leaving a crock pot on for 12+ hours.
Unfortunately, cooking with a crock pot just does not work for me and I have not missed living without one.
Really, I don't mind the 20 mins it takes to make homemade chicken noodle soup on the stove. You can wait 8 hours with your crock pot if you want.
I really wanted to be able to have a kitchen table when I was looking for 1br apartments and thankfully I found an apartment that fit one.
I bought a full size table & four chairs plus two kitchen carts on Craigslist for $300 total.
Getting furniture in nyc is a bit of a hassle because you need to rent a truck/service to pick these items up. Even a "free" table will cost you something for transport.
I use the kitchen table not only for eating but also as my workspace for writing, sewing, etc.
As I always lived with roommates before, this was a purchase I never had to make until now.
Living room furniture was a mandatory expenses I expected when moving into a 1br.
I went to a local furniture store and bought the cheapest couch I could find ($500) to get me by for a few years until I can upgrade to a nicer apartment & furniture.
Again, since I had always lived with roommates, they provided the furniture.
I bought a pair of $115 Shure earbuds over a year ago and will never go back to cheap headphones.
This was a long over-due purchase. Before I moved to the city, I would listen to music via headphones at work, but not anywhere else. Granted, that was ~8 hours a day, but I just could not justify spending $50+ for fancy noise-reducing headphones just to wear at work.
Instead, I bought two $10 headphones which both stopped working after 3 months.
After I sold my car, I realized that I definitely needed headphones. I would listen to music every time I walked outside, on the train/bus, and still at work.
Not only did this mean heavier use for headphones but also there was much more background noise than I was used to. Noise-cancelling headphones or ear buds with a solid seal are a must on the train to be able to actually hear your music and have it sound good.
Poor quality headphones, while cheaper, will have a lot of sound leakage causing you to turn the volume way up which could damage your hearing in the long run and, more importantly, make the music you listen to sound awful.
You'll notice a lot of folks wearing Apple earbuds will have to turn the volume up quite high in order to hear the song, meaning everyone else around gets to hear the song too.
I don't have an interest in an eReader. I realize the storage limitations of books and how difficult they are to move, but having a home-library of books I can see is important to me.
I do use the public libraries here. However, I tend to like like small-press authors that the library does not always have.
1. I don't own any furniture except for a Japanese futon for sleeping (most hotel rooms I live in, tend to have a table and chairs, I just can't sleep in the bed.), and I don't need other furniture like dressers — the closet with hangers is enough.
2. I don't own a smartphone (Had one, got rid of it)
3. I don't own a car because I've been taking the transit most of the time
4. I don't own a TV
5. I don't own physical books because I have an e-reader and I hate moving heavy things all the time.
1. I own a suitcase full of clothes (all I own)
2. I own a lot of laptops and electronics (each has its own purpose and use for me)
3. I own a Japanese futon for sleeping on the floor
4. I own otherwise bulky kitchen cooking pots and utensils (a massive Le Creuset for instance), because I like to eat
5. Lastly, I own what I think is a reasonable amount of shoes and purses, but boys and hardcore minimalists might think otherwise.
…. this was hard. :)
Well up until this past weekend, I lived without a smart phone. It's definitely sucking up my time now.
I recently moved from a 3br with yard to a 1br cottage. Here is what did and did not make the cut.
I said goodbye to:
…3 bookcases and the books in them.
…1 of 2 couches.
…worm bin (but I kept composter).
…specialty kitchen items like a ricer and gravy separator that are only used a few times a year..
…most of my vases.
I kept:
…my kitchen table, but it is in the garage b/c it does not fit in my cottage. I don't want to get rid of it b/c it is a very solid piece of furniture and I hope to have space for a table someday.
…my crock pot and it is used weekly to make beans.
…my stand mixer and I love it.
…my microwave. I hardly ever use it and would love to free up counter space, but the husband is super attached.
…my two bicycles.
…my small dresser.
I was actually shocked to see that I didn't have many things to begin with and transitioning from 3 to 1 bedroom not much of a change. I really miss my yard and garden, but I can find a place with a yard someday. There are a few things I've gotten rid of that I really regret such as a metal, non-electric hand mixer, some jars for bulk food, and a set of plastic lawn chairs. They were all actually quite useful and now I have to go thrifting to get something comparable.
So, these things exist in my apartment right now because of my roommate, but they aren't mine/things I need:
-television/dvd player/gaming system. I have nothing against tv/gaming, but it just doesn't interest me. I would rather read, and I can watch the occasional show or movie on my laptop.
-extra dishes, utensils, glasses, etc. We don't entertain, so I see no reason for having more dishes than needed for just the there of us in the apartment
I own…
We got a couch (a large sectional!) when we moved into our house 2 years ago. It's brick red and comfortable, but not all especially attractive. We'll use it until we buy real furniture (recliners and a sofa) which we've been saving for.
I just got a free freezer for our garage (which cost us $100 to move, but that's a lot cheaper than buying it new). We buy a lot in bulk at Costco because we have a seal-a-meal.
I also just upgraded our crock pot to a larger one because, related to the freezer, I was making more freezer meals and needed a bigger crock pot.
I live without…
A huge amount of decorations. Some people have boxes upon boxes of fall or holiday decorations, but I like to go the minimalist route.
Single use appliances, like a waffle maker. I try really hard to make sure we don't have things that either I don't use often or can't use for a variety of cooking purposes.
An extra extra bed. We have 1 guest bed, but I got rid of the futon in our office in favor of a smaller desk for my husband's computer that fits better.
The wife is working on getting rid of her books, since she bought an e-reader; when they invent a water proof one, I'll probably do the same, with a couple of exceptions that would probably fit on a single shelf on my desk. (Autographed copies, as an example.)
Otherwise, I don't think I'm missing anything that people would find necessary. We have a dishwasher, even though I actually enjoy washing dishes by hand. We have a washer and dryer, which is actually super convenient.
I could cut down my possessions by about half, but I couldn't throw them away.
I don't own a kettle or a dresser.
My desk was free. Crockpot free. Microwave free. Couches free. Coffee table bought using a free gift card.
I did buy an outdoor furniture set for cheap because we have an awesome deck that gets tons of sun.
I feel exactly the same way about microwaves! We have one because it's David's main method of cooking, but I loathe reheating food in the microwave. Like you said, it comes out soggy and…weird tasting. I use the oven, and I've never been happier eating leftovers!
Great post!
As much as I love music, I have never owned an iPod. Too expensive to me for what it is. I always knew phones would eventually be able to play music, and now that they do, I just use it to listen to music when I travel.

Then there is the powerful desire Americans have to see their presidents succeed. That worked for Bill Clinton in 1996 and George W. Bush in 2004. Polls and focus groups showed that voters in the middle of the political spectrum were ready to overlook their weaknesses and appreciated their strengths in those years. That could be the case with Obama in 2012.
Moreover, there will be a reluctance on the part of many voters, understandable in light of our history, to reject the first African-American president. I'm convinced, though I cannot prove, that Americans who feel this way far outnumber those few who cannot abide seeing a black man in the White House.
All of which does not mean that Obama is a sure winner. Polls suggest that if the election were held today he could lose to several possible Republican nominees who are much less well known and have weaknesses of their own. But they also suggest he could win.
Working against Obama still will be substantive issues. Most Americans want to repeal Obamacare; he wants to keep it. Most voters rejected his vast expansion of the size and scope of government; he still thinks it's a good idea.
Obama came to office with the assumption that economic distress would increase support for his policies to (in his words to Joe the Plumber) "spread the wealth around." But the 2010 midterms make it about as clear as these things can be that voters reject such efforts.
American voters are not seething with envy over income inequality and are not convinced that we'll all do better if the government takes away more of Bill Gates' money. Obama, like the academics in whose neighborhoods he has always chosen to live, think they should be seething and that if the message is just delivered the right way they can be convinced.
That's a big difference on some fundamental issues. Enough to make the difference in 2012? Not clear.

OMg that expression!
Oh wow. I love this so much. Cloudchaser! <3 *swoon*
I can't wait until you merge all square portraits into one piece. Because you will, right?
So, why is it called the Square Series?
They're in the shape OF a square, perhaps?
Unless it's an ironic question.
Unless it's an ironic question.
I used to have two parakeets named Flitter and Cloudchaser. Even crazier is that their feathers had the same color pattern as their respective pony's manes.
very nice!
Nice drawing of best pony.
That's amazing!
she has like the coolest hair style of all the BG character.
One of my personal favorite BG ponies. Even though she was allegedly an ass to Fluttershy.
Looks great! Gotta love Cloudchaser

Halliday, defense dominant in home opener
Tweet Follow @bkRansford
PULLMAN, Wash. | After two weeks of questions surrounding Connor Halliday and his questionable play, the redshirt junior gunslinger quieted most of his critics on Saturday as he tossed five touchdowns, and Washington State rolled over Southern Utah 48-10 in their home opener.
It was a coming out party of sorts for a Cougars (2-1, 1-0 Pac-12) offense that scored over 40 points for the first time under second year head coach Mike Leach. Halliday, who threw for 383 yards on 32-of-41 passing, made quick and easy work on the Thunderbirds (2-1) and the defense failed to yield a point in the second half for the second consecutive game.
Damante Horton followed up his Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week award with yet another interception returned for a touchdown. This pick, too, came just before halftime as Thunderbirds quarterback Aaron Cantu overthrew his intended receiver and Horton returned it 72 yards to give the Cougars a 27-10 lead.
For the second time this season, WSU amassed over 400 yards of total offense, finishing with 464 yards and 410 coming via the air.
With a comfortable 38 point lead late in the fourth quarter, backup quarterback Austin Apodaca took over for Halliday and finished the game 3-of-7 for 27 yards. The redshirt freshman missed a few throws but moved the ball well on the final drive as the Cougars ran - mostly passed - the clock out.
But on this day, Halliday was the story.
The Cougars' starting quarterback jumpstarted the game with two straight scoring drives, completing 9-of-9 passes for 133 yards and two touchdowns. He connected with Dominique Williams for two touchdowns, one of 43 yards and another for 55 yards, and completed passes to 10 different receivers.
His lone interception came in the second quarter as he tried to find Isiah Myers on a post, but miscommunication on the route resulted in a diving interception by SUU defensive back LeShaun Sims in the endzone.
D. Williams finished with three catches for 103 yards. River Cracraft added six receptions for 87 yards and Gabriel Marks snagged seven balls for 83 yards and a touchdown.
Also getting in on the action was junior college transfer Vincent Mayle, who grabbed his first career reception and tacked on a late touchdown from Halliday on a beautifully thrown fade route.
The running game, on the other hand, struggled to get going as the Cougars finished with 17 rushes for 57 yards. Teondray Caldwell led the way with six carries for 26 yards.
The defense continued their early season revival, yielding just 219 total yards and forcing three turnovers. Freshman cornerback Daquawn Brown picked up the first interception of his career and senior safety Deone Bucannon also joined the pick party.
Bucannon's interception came one play after Kache Palacio intercepted Cantu inside his own 20 yard line and rumbled in for a touchdown. However, Bucannon was called for holding on the play, negating the would-be touchdown.
The Cougars are off to a 2-1 start with a Homecoming matchup against Idaho next Saturday.
Cyrus Coen led all tacklers with 10 and Palacio added the team's only sack of the day. Bucannon had eight tackles, and Taylor Taliulu, Darryl Monroe and Tana Pritchard each added seven.
Andrew Furney connected on his two field goal attempts from 46 and 31 yards.

Traffic / Transportation, Tokyo
16 Reviews
16 Reviews
I guess the first warning sign should have been the uniformed workers with the white gloves, not only are they there to keep order but on occasion their services are required to forcibly stuff more people into an already overflowing car. At 8:30am at the Ueno station, the lines were 50-60 people deep at each car. The trains arrive stuffed with people, a few get off, a few more shove in, about 10 trains later we were swept into the car and on our way. You do not need to hang onto anything, you couldn't fall over even if you wanted to.
It is not an experience I would want to repeat a 2nd time.
Are you thinking about renting a car in Japan? Are you going to be able to deal with driving where most of the world considers to be on the wrong side of the road? Do you hate being splashed by inconsiderate drivers during or after a rainstorm? In Tokyo, that last one can cost you about US$65 if you happen to be that inconsiderate driver.
Politeness rules the road in the Land of the Rising Sun. Even the cabbies in Tokyo wear pristine white gloves. So you can imagine what the Japanese think of drivers who splash through puddles and soak unsuspecting pedestrians. They call this infraction "muddy driving." If you want to avoid a citation, be extra vigilant during and after rainstorms.
Penalty: If you drive through a mud puddle or otherwise splash a pedestrian, you're liable to be hit with a fine of about $65.
Last trains can be quite early, around midnight. This means either getting a taxi back (expensive), or staying out until around 5am when the trains start again.
I have been caught once or twice by this when out imbibing.
No matter what, always plan never to use the public transport during rush hour.
You will really understand how do sardines in a can feel after this.
SOmehow it defies all logic and you find yourself contouring in funny positions in order for more people to board the train. Not forgetting the hassle of trying to get off the train!
The only good thing is that you will never fall over! There isn't any space to!
The Tokyo subway system is not particularly friendly to handicapped, parents with prams, and old folks.
Within each station, the only escalators you see are those leading upstairs. Wanna go downstairs? Gotta take use your 2 legs (and arms if you've got a toddler in a pram)!
My main gripe is that although the trains runs until midnight, all the escalators and lifts stop working by 9.30pm.
Japan is a very safe country - BUT the only thing that I would have to say about the safety issue is that women in skirts should be careful riding the subway!
In Tokyo especially, people are shoved onto the subways (literally) so that the doors can close with a disgusting number of people packed into each car. Since people are in such close proximity to each other it is a well-known fact that women should hold their skirts down so that the perverted men who lurk on the subways can't put their hands up a skirt or two.
I have seen this happen myself. It is nearly impossible to discover the culprit since there are 20 people around you who could have!
unless you enjoy crowds, stinky old men, sick people, claustrophobia and masochism, avoid the morning traffic at all cost. Tokyo is by far the worst, but some stations are particularly terrible like Kitasenju where it gets so crowded they have people dedicated to push people into the car every morning. Some of the inaka (country side) train stations are just as bad if not worse. In those areas, the train comes infrequently so the cars are jammed even when you thought it impossible for any additional people to be pushed in.
Also, if you insist on going in the morning, avoid bringing a heavy backpack. Or use the luggage racks to store your goods. You might offend someone if your backpack is sticking in their face.
The train lines in Tokyo are well-organised,, and you can get virtually anywhere by some sort of ground or subway transport.
The problem is that there are many ways to get to Rome, and if you catch the wrong train, you may still get to your end-destination, just that you end up travelling a much longer road or stop at many more stations in between. Remember that an Express line is one where it doesn't stop at all stations along the way, whereas local trains usually make stops at several minor places.
If you attempt to figure out your route only at the station itself, you'll most probably end up studying the "spaghetti" map to no avail. I recommend that you get a detailed map before you set out, and know where you need to make your connections before you even leave the hotel.
Ticket for day trip are divided into few type, basically it divided into JR, City Subway and Public Subway. All of them using different tickets and system, The service doesn't combine, so you must make sure that your destination and direction very clear then buy ticket. Otherwise you may end up with buying 3 to 4 types of tickets.
JP Pass for long distance basically is convenience, please do not forget to bring your passport a long for necessary verification.
In any situation, please try to avoid getting any transport to the Tokyo city on the peak office hours from 7-9am and 5-7pm. If lucky, you may only get stuck in the traffic an hour plus, else 2-3hours is usual happen. Taking the subway will be better but you will be stuck in the coach like a sardin.
Just a warning if you don't speak Japanease. Many of the cab drivers in the city will have trouble understanding where you want to go if you have broken Japanease. I tried to direct two different cab drivers to take me just a few blocks, but because I misspoke the words they could not understand what I was talking about. Also many rumour that the cabs are very expensive, enough I would believe it.
I couldn't believe how many times I saw the sign on the taxi door, "Be careful when opening the doors". But I fully understand why. Motorcycles and scooters whip in and out of traffic without a care in the world here, and it is not uncommon to find one trying to pass your taxi along the curb while you are trying to get out. I noticed this in Korea too.
Many taxi's have a door that opens for you, which is good, although you still need to keep an eye out. But if you happen to have a cab where you open the door, be prepared.
Twice in Tokyo I saw horrifying accidents where someone on a scooter ran into a door. In one of those, there was also a taxi passenger injured. I have been told that it isn't as common as it used to be. But it never hurts to be safe.
Other than the traffic, there are no dangers in Tokyo to speak of. You could leave your purse on a bar with thousands of yen in it, go visit the powder room and it would still be there when you returned!
If you streets in Tokyo.You might want to be careful because there's hardly any sidewalks and you might have to put your body against the wall to avoid being road kill.
If you are in a walkway in Tokyo going to point A to Point B.Beware!!!!Hundreds and hundreds of people will go by and you will feel like a fish trying to go upstream.

Best Place to Take Out-of-Towners (2010)
Billie Swamp Safari Wildlife Park
Except for the beaches, South Florida is one big swamp. So why not show off the primitive, more adventurous side of the party town, throwing in a little dash of danger for good measure. Billie Swamp Safari is more than 2,000 acres of wilderness stretching through Big Cypress Seminole Indian Reservation in the heart of the Everglades, close to Alligator Alley. Witness wildlife in the vastness of the Florida wetlands on the Swamp Buggy Eco-Tour, and spot deer, antelope, bison, several species of birds, and, if you're lucky, the elusive Florida panther. Or take an exhilarating high-speed airboat ride across the river of grass and check out all manner of snakes, turtles, and fish. The summer-wet season is the best time to spot alligators as they wade through the obsidian waters of this fragile ecosystem. But for folks really thirsting for adventure, stay overnight in an authentic Seminole chickee and take a special nighttime tour of the fabled Everglades under the moon and stars. Sure beats sitting in traffic waiting to arrive at an overcrowded beach. The park opens at 9 a.m., with airboat rides beginning at 10 and swamp buggy tours beginning at 11. Rates start at $15 for airboats. It's best to arrive early; tours and rides run every half-hour.

In a USA Today op-ed (4/16/14), Fox News liberal Kirsten Powers weighs in on Brandeis University's decision to rescind its offer to honor the anti-Muslim activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali during commencement activities.
Under the headline "Liberals Attack Female Fighting Misogyny," Powers accuses Brandeis of caving to pressure from liberals, and dismissing Hirsi Ali's experience as a victim of cultural misogyny:
But this life experience is no match for the "expertise" of liberal Westerners who seem to believe the problem is that Hirsi Ali just doesn't know how to keep her mouth shut.
But the point is not that Hirsi Ali is a feminist campaigner against misogyny; it's that she's an Islamophobe. She subordinates a good cause to what is essentially a campaign against Islam, which she calls "a destructive, nihilistic cult of death" (London Evening Standard, 2/7/07).
She told Reason magazine (11/07) that Islam must be "defeated" by any means, including militarily. "There comes a moment when you crush your enemy," Hirsi Ali told the magazine. Asked if she meant specifically "radical Islam," she responded: "No. Islam, period."
So much for the free-speech rights of Muslims.
Powers joins a chorus of conservatives crying foul over the Brandeis reversal. The Wall Street Journal editors (4/9/14) accused Brandeis of "intolerance and the illiberal suppression of ideas." Fox News host Megyn Kelly (e.g., 4/9/14) devoted repeated segments to the theme that activists groups opposed to Hirsi Ali's bigotry were out to silence her. On FoxNews.com (4/10/14), Zev Chafets argued that Hirsi Ali wasn't just subjected to censorship, she was the victim of an "honor killing, Brandeis-style."
For giving in to Hirsi Ali's critics, Commentary editor John Podhoretz (4/9/14) called Brandeis president Fredrick Lawrence a "gutless, spineless, simpering coward." Mona Charen at National Review Online (4/11/14) likewise accused the university of "cowardice" in trying to silence Hirsi Ali. After all, Charen argued awkwardly, it had previously chosen to confer honorary degrees "on Harry Belafonte (1991), Andrew Young (1978), and Desmond Tutu," who were all–wait for it–"known for intemperate comments."
Powers is not the only liberal to criticize the Brandeis decision. Huffington Post writer Jason Linkins (4/10/14) scolded those who would applaud: "Whether they know it or not, the actions they have taken have done way more harm than good. To anyone with a liberal-minded attitude toward freedom of expression, Brandeis' decision has done you no favors."
Linkins seems to understand that there is a difference between silencing a person and not celebrating them with an honorary degree, but he nevertheless repeatedly raises the free-speech canard:
Now, the ripple effect of that decision will have its unintended impact, and the people who are satisfied today that she won't be speaking at Brandeis will get to enjoy the tables being turned on them at some point down the road. And who knows how many of us non-agitants will get caught up in this turf war?
Linkins cites the fact that Brandeis previously honored playwright Tony Kushner, whose critical views of Israel–he has criticized it for ethnic cleansing and said its creation was "a mistake"–drew much criticism. He worries that the Hirsi Ali precedent will put a stop to honorees like Kushner. But there is a great deal of space between Kushner's provocative, controversial views, which can be debated, and Hirsi Ali's religiocidal position, which calls for the silencing or worse of more than a billion Muslims. Surely there are boundaries beyond which Linkins would not extend university honors.
Brandeis' decision has nothing to do with free speech. In its announcement that it was withdrawing the offer to honor Hirsi Ali, it invited her back to the school to speak in another setting. If being denied an honorary degree is an infringement of free speech, then Brandeis is "silencing" billions of people every year.

#1 - Have a Career Compass.
A lot of people when asked, will say that they have an idea of what their goal is. Maybe they want to work on a game or a movie, but they don't have it narrowed down any further than that. Be very specific about your goals. What kind of movie do you want to work on? What kind of game? Get into the details. Once you have enough details, then you can use that goal as your 'career compass'. Whatever moves you make, make sure that you think about your compass, and think if your next move is going to take you closer to your goal. My goal was to work on a Tim Burton movie so every job and painting I did was not based on how much it paid but instead on whether or not it was complementary to something I could see Tim Burton doing in one of his films.
The choices won't always be crystal clear, but sometimes they are. If you get asked to work on an independent movie, and that's your goal, then that's super clear. But it won't always play out like that. Just make sure that every move you make brings you closer to your goal, and aligns with your compass.
Look out for instances where you get offered a job that is simple but doesn't align with your goals. Some people will think "It won't take long, so I'll do it." Those jobs are the worst! If you don't desperately need the money, don't take it. Those jobs won't bring you towards your goal, they are merely a sidestep or even a step backwards because the time you waste on projects that don't align with your career compass is time you could have spent on improving your art or learning something useful to get you closer to your goal.

5 Ways to Create Opportunities with Bobby Chiu
by Bobby Chiu & Flynn Ringrose
1 - "No" really means "Not right now."
One of the most important things I've learned about opportunities is that the people that receive the most, and I'm counted in this, are the people that don't take no as final. We're okay with getting a harsh no, or a few of them. When rejection happens, learn to put a smile on your face, go back, reassess, and come back with a new approach or completely new portfolio. If you know in your heart that you are willing to take ten harsh rejections without giving up, then most likely you won't have to.
2 - Don't sit waiting for your ship to come in.
One thing I see all the time that I think is unfortunate is that many artists wait and wait for the perfect job. Here's my advice for that, just go and do it! Just go pretend. One of the things that helped me starting out before we did Alice in Wonderland, was pretending that we were already working on a Tim Burton film. Every project we had that was close enough, we'd try to make it complementary to what we thought would be cool in a Tim Burton movie.
You can't just sit there saying "I wish" and "I imagine" unless you're doing it in a way that helps you get to that destination. That's what helped me with getting on Alice in Wonderland, thinking about it all the time, but also always working towards it.
There is something to be said about waiting for your dream job. Just don't sit there and do nothing. I think not enough people wait for their dream job in a way. They take the first jobs that come to them that are half-decent and go with that. That's what happened to me way back. I took a job working on a television show that I didn't particularly like the style or quality of because I had just got out of school and that's what they tell you you're supposed to do. Did it help excel my career? No, it was like a sidestep, or even a backstep away from my goal. So only take jobs that move you towards your goals if you can help it.
3 - Keep learning.
You can't settle, especially nowadays. Things change so rapidly in films, games and art. It evolves every year. So you have to adopt the idea that you're a life-long student. Because if you're not advancing, the world is going to advance right past you, even if you're successful now, it's going to be hard for you ten years from now if you don't keep learning.
Every couple years we try to take a month or two off to do a gallery show to strengthen, improve and evolve. And right now I'm trying to gear my schedule so that I can take more courses. You know, before when we were starting Schoolism, I was able to take all the classes. Recently, because we're doing more things, we're traveling a lot more, it's harder. But I gotta stick to what has gotten me to where I am which has been learning constantly. And I gotta make time and get back there.
You can't keep drawing if you don't stop to sharpen your pencil every once in a while.
4 - Start a landslide.
Taking opportunities leads to more opportunities. For example, how did I meet Glen Keane, my all-time artistic hero? I took an opportunity to go to Angoulême, France to set up a table at their annual comic festival. I don't know French, but I heard it was a good opportunity, so we went. And we met these two gallery owners who are now some of our best friends. Jean-Jacques Launier, and Diane Launier. They own a gallery named Arludik. Years later, at CTN in Burbank, Jean-Jacque and Diane were there and we were there and they introduced us to Glen Keane, and then later, we did a gallery show in Paris and Glen Keane came, and we talked a little bit again, and then through opportunity again, because I knew John Carls, a producer on Rango (2011). We'd spoken a bunch of times but never worked together, but we were very cordial to each other. He was organizing a talk in Savannah, and he invited Glen Keane and I, and so I was on stage with Glen Keane and got to spend a couple days with him.
Some people, they just do their convention, or their show, and then they go home. Some people don't make friends at school, they don't even know their classmates names, and if there's one way to lose out on opportunities that can change your life. That's it.
5 - Live in a way that generates more opportunities.
The best way to make opportunities come to you is to gear your habits and your principles in a way that helps you come across more great opportunities. For example, always try to meet new people. If you're always trying to meet new people, and that's a principle you live by, then guaranteed, you're going to have more opportunities.
Don't do anything unless you think it through and it makes sense to you. If it makes sense to though, then you have to do it. Get into that mindset and promise yourself that if you know it'll be good for you, then you're going to do it.
Just like education. Some people might think, "Oh yeah, that would totally help me, but I don't have the time." Maybe because the person isn't making enough money, but the thing is, if they had more skills, they'd make more money!
The main thing is, you gotta do the things that make sense to you. For example, our Kickstarter is almost done, and if you pledge on the Kickstarter, you're actually going to get a better price then you would when we launch the subscriptions on Schoolism. www.kickstarter.com/projects/b… If it makes sense to pledge for education from the industry's best for as little as $10/month, you gotta do it! It would be crazy if you don't because these opportunities will pass you by if you keep waiting forever.
At some point, you gotta pull over so that you can sharpen your pencil, and get back in the game.
It's our mission to bring you the latest and greatest art education we can. It is thus our pleasure to present to you this wonderful character design tutorial from Schoolism instructor, Stephen Silver! In this video, Stephen educates and inspires with his unmistakable blend of skill and panache.

Have an artist in mind you'd like to learn from? Sound off in the comments to let us know what tutorials you'd like to see in the future!
Schoolism Subscriptions: Affordable Education campaign has 3 days left and 1 more stretch goal to go on Kickstarter. To help reach this goal, any reward $100 or more will receive an additional free month in their subscription.
Number Oneis to wake up hours before your day job begins and spend that time doing your own stuff. This is very effective, but it's difficult to keep up with because it often means you have to get up at 4:00 or 5:00 in the morning and that's especially difficult in the Winter when the Sun isn't even up at those times!
This is great because, one, you're beginning the day doing a hard thing which makes you feel good because you started off with something challenging. Two, when you get up hours before work and do your own art, you'll see results, that you created something, and that makes you feel even more productive. Why give your best hours, and this is weird to say, but why give your best hours to your job? Why not give it to yourself which will in turn, benefit your job?
Number Twodon't do emails until the afternoon. If you email them in the morning, then they might respond to you in the afternoon and you'll have to respond to them twice in a day, instead of just once.
Number Threemake your to-do list the day before you need it. I like to write my to-do list around 2:00 or 3:00 in the afternoon. Just go through it ahead of time to update it with what's important now and what you've finished. This is important because if you come into work in the morning and you know exactly what you need to do, you'll be more efficient. If you don't write down the first thing to do tomorrow, that's when you'll stand around the water cooler talking to your friends, get a coffee, look on the internet, whatever it is. It's hard to get momentum when you start off slow, but it's very easy to keep momentum when you come in running. You get through so much more stuff that way.
Number Fourspend a minimum of 5% of your income back into your art. Spend this money on education for yourself, equipment, and networking. Equipment meaning a new computer, art materials, etc. Networking means going to conventions, workshops, that kind of stuff. A minimum of 5%. For me, because of Schoolism, I've been able to go way beyond that because I don't need to spend money a lot of times to educate myself so I can spend money on other things such as attending events but after a while you get invited to events so you have to spend that money elsewhere and so on. As you start down your artistic path, that's what's going to happen to you and it's going to get harder and harder to spend that 5% which makes it even more awesome.
Number Fivealways find room for non-urgent but important things. There are usually consequences you strive to avoid that force you to attend to super important and urgent matters in your life. Like you're going to lose your apartment, the taxman is going to knock on your door, whatever it may be. But the things that aren't urgent but are important, those are the things that are going to excel your life. Like maybe learning how to use ZBrush, even though you just like to paint. That's going to help you in some way, you might not know how, but it's just like how Steve Jobs learning typography helped him make the Apple Computer.
Stick to those five things, and you'll notice dramatic improvement in your productivity and career if you haven't already.
Bonus Q&A
Does a routine really make a difference in your art? A lot of artists swear by only doing art when they feel like it. Do you think that's dangerous just waiting around for inspiration?
Man, the people who are waiting around for inspiration, they're in trouble most of the time. Especially if you're working on a film, waiting for inspiration, and you don't do anything all day. Then what are you going to tell the director? What are you going to tell the producer? You can't do that! And actually, the routine helps with that because if you have a good routine, you generally won't have bad drawing days if you just stick with that routine. The only time I experience bad drawing days is when I don't stick with my routine.
Was there a time when you thought that you'd never need a routine?
Totally, that was part of the reason I wanted to be independent, because I wanted to do my own thing and I didn't want people telling me what to do and when to do it. Then business started picking up, and more and more people wanted to work with us. And when you want to work on more stuff, and accomplish more things, you need to have a routine to maximize your time. If you just go by the seat of your pants, you're not going to accomplish as much. You might accomplish more interesting things perhaps, but not as many productive things.
Just a reminder that there's only 5 days left to get a subscription to Schoolism through our kickstarter campaign for very affordable prices, as low as $10/month. Please help me spread the word! www.kickstarter.com/projects/b…
A Discussion with Bobby Chiu by Flynn Ringrose
A lot of people who email in live in circumstances or with people that don't support their art. What do you think about that?
The first thing is families. Some people don't have supportive families, and some are too supportive. I'm sure we all have our stories. So you want to look out for yourself and ask, "Is my environment healthy for my growth?" You want to make sure that you're surrounding yourself with other hungry artists.
For me, in the very, very, very beginning, it was just my brother, Ben and I in our parent's basement. That was not a good environment because I was living with my parents. Which isn't necessarily bad, except your parents might think, "Bobby's home, maybe he would like to take out the trash, or mow the lawn, or whatever."
When we all started out, we were broke, so we all lived together. We began, just Thierry Lafontaine, Peter Chan, Ben, Kei Acedera, and I living in two small condos! They were packed with desks, and the best thing about that was that we were surrounded with people who loved art! There was always someone awake to carry the torch. It was a great environment where everyone else was doing what they loved and that made you want to do what you loved as well.
I talk to a lot of aspiring artists who say that they read and study endlessly, and yet don't seem to improve. Do you think that that's a sign that they should change the environment they're in?
Don't think that changing your environment is going to immediately and drastically improve your art. I do think, though that it will give you the best chance to succeed if you surround yourself with other artists who wish to excel. It's a huge, important part of how you can reach your potential.
Here's how I think you should go about moulding your environment to your benefit. One, get away from your family if they are stifling you in any way. Go to the library. You don't have to leave forever, but when it's art time, it's art time. Go to the coffee shop, and do what you have to do.
Two, surround yourself with hungry artists, and three, look for mentors. These might be the same hungry artists. One might know all about ocean life, while another is an expert in something else, and you will all learn from each other.
I think it's an unfortunate thing that so many artists who are so passionate about life, become so wrapped up in their studies, or worse, their frustrations, and as a result, become overly sheltered and introverted.
There are so many of us that go through a period in our lives where we're just sort of incubating like a caterpillar in a cocoon, we're not talking to anyone, and we're not going out and we're just focusing entirely on art. For me it was maybe like a year, where I wasn't really talking to anyone and I was just studying, and working hard everyday and not even going home for Christmas. I think I was too hardcore, but I think that that played a significant part in the skills I was able to develop. That's something that I wonder about; is that time necessary? Because a lot of great artists I know have gone through that.
One thing I've learned over the years is that balance plays a HUGE role in your overall success and happiness in your career. Practice balance between your art and your loved ones.
For example, if you spend a lot of time with your art, but you take action, and you call your mom or your dad or whatever, even if you spend less time with them overall, that kind of attention will strengthen your relationships. And it all plays back into your art, because if your family life is miserable, then your art is going to suffer. You need balance in everything, too much of one thing is not good.
And balance changes over time. In the beginning, I was mentoring Thierry, and Peter, but now we mentor each other because we all have our own expertise. Finally though, as we grew older, we wanted to have our own lives. We all bought our own places, and we moved out.
Did you notice a change in your art after you moved?
I think so, but we needed a change in our lives. The balance you need as a baby is different than the balance you need as a 20-year old, and etcetera. So we needed to find balance again. Did our art slow down? I think that even though I am okay with my current rate of improvement, it isn't as crazy as it was back then.
Since then, we always wanted to continue the spirit of those first days, which is where the Imaginism In-House Workshop sprung from! We bought a house and we brought in four students from around the world to live with their mentor, Thierry Lafontaine (who worked on Men in Black III with me). In the Imaginism house, it is truly, eat, breathe, sleep, and live art every day, all the time. And when you have four artists from around the world, not only are they bringing insights from their various cultures, but they are all hungry — crazy hungry. And when you're hungry and you're beside three other hungry people all living with your mentor, your art is going to be on hyper-drive.
The current house is in St. Julienne, Quebec. It's the perfect place to get super intense. Now that we have that house we actually have guest artists fly out there to live with and teach those students. And it's not that you just learn from them, but you break bread with them too. Imagine Nathan Fowkes coming to stay at your house and teaching you how to paint! We've had Stephen Silver out there, Wesley Burt, Myself, Kei Acedera, Thomas Fluharty, Jason Seiler, and more.
It's a super-intense and rewarding experience, and submissions are open right now! Registration closesMay 13th. If you truly want to turn it up, and you thrive on experiences, this is for you, because everyone is transformed by the end of this — there's no way that you can come out of this the same as you went in.
If you wanna go, just try. You never know what's going to happen. For more information about the Imaginism In-House Workshop, click HERE
Environment Artist Nathan Fowkes is now on DA! This is one account I recommend everyone to follow.
Nathan Fowkes' film credits include:

Legend of Puss in Boots
How to Train Your Dragon

What we do
Web & Dev Services
Whether world-facing or internal, the browser and the app are today's functionality conduits. From high transaction architectures to user interfaces, from databases to security, from SEO to analytics and social media services, our web development & management services have you covered.
Data Services
Big Data may seem trendy, but organizations have wanted to turn business data into business intelligence since before silicon. Buzzwords, products and strategies abound. Cut through the fog, and it's what we do: capture, storage, processing and synthesis of unwieldy data sets.
IT Operations
The adjacent topics may sound sexier, but it takes effort to support your users and to keep your databases, devices, systems, servers, computers and network healthy and secure. Whether it's staff aug or someone to run the shop, our IT Operations services fit any size organization, from emerging to enormous.
Advisory & Oversight
A pinch of tech strategy, anyone? How about a dash of vision? Some orgs don't need a full-time C-level technologist. But, that doesn't mean there aren't times when one would come in handy. For those times, we offer full-time, part-time or ad-hoc CTO, CIO, and CDO services for organizations of any size.
Coming Soon: A deep dive coding conversatory offering full- and part-time web, mobile, and maker development curricula with a placement pipeline chaser.

Our cloud services extend all the way down to the ground. We've engineered and managed the data centers where the cloud lives. Whether it's your own private cloud or a shared service, we've been there: design, engineering, deployment, migration, consolidation and management.
Harnessing Forces
Controlling the Chaos
Security breaches headline the news almost daily, it seems. Everybody keeps saying that cloud computing is lowering costs and simplifying operations. Systems integration seems more myth than reality. Workers are all over the map, on laptops, phones, and tablets - how exposed and dangerous is that? So many technology decisions. So many potential missteps. Sound advice is rare. Searchlight has helped many organizations make sense of it all. Let us do the same for you.

It's a pretty big puncturing of pride to an NCAA Division I conference when the arena that holds your basketball conference tournament kicks you out over concerns of losing money.
But as the TRENTON TIMES reports, such a slap in the face has just happened to the MAAC. (Not to be confused with the MAC.) The Sovereign Bank Arena won't welcome the conference into its building, passing on the opportunity to host the MAAC's 2009 tourney.
The arena - well, not the actual arena, but the arena's general manager - said a "potential low turnout" from "anticipating poor ticket sales" of the tourney weighed in on the decision to cut the conference tournament from its schedule.
Undeterred, the MAAC will move next year's championship tourney back to the sunnier shores of Albany, NY. Still, Trenton mayor Douglas Palmer is sad to see they're not coming:
"I'm very disappointed. The Sovereign Bank Arena is certainly an outstanding venue to host the MAAC games and show off our city, and help our local economy."
Looks like the arena thought it wouldn't be that big a help.

Funnest Car I've Ever Owned, And I've Owned A Lot Of Them. — This is by far the funnest car I have ever owned. I've had several "performance" sedans, but this one takes the cake.

Can't beat that exhaust note, 19-inch rims, performance and handling.
Not too gas-friendly, blind spots can be hard to see at times, navigation system is not user friendly at all.
One Hell Of A Sweet Ride. — I got this car in May 2007 and couldn't stop loving it. The exhaust note is just pure classic. The performance is great. The exterior shape is nice and clean. I particularly like the back of the car. The handling is superb, with the Sport Suspension and the 19-inchers. One of my gripes is the gas mileage, but that's expected in a car like this. Another thing is that the tire pressure monitor sensor went on twice within 12k miles. Both times, the mechanics at the dealer said it's nothing.

Sweet Ride — I really like the way the G35 coupe does just about everything. It was surprisingly quick when accelerating, and the short throw 6 speed manual only helps with that. The only downside is that the gearbox itself is very notchy and not user-friendly unless you are into racing... which is not an everyday thing by any means. It is also important to be aware that torque from low RPM's is in short supply with this car, so for quick passing be sure to use a lower gear than you typically would with a V8 like my 540i. Overall, this is a super fun car and I would love to own one.
