Down A.K.A. Kilo
Down A.K.A. Kilo
In spite of debuting with the hard, West Coast funk-rap album, California Cowboys, Chicano rapper Down aka Kilo broke through to the national arena with the dance-offering club single "Lean Like a Cholo" in 2007. Down, real name Juan Martinez, was born to undocumented immigrants in Oxnard, CA. Listening to the hardcore hip-hop and stoner-funk of Cypress Hill and the explosive gangsta rap of NWA at a young age, Down strongly identified with their music and style of living. He began rapping at age 13 and made his first recordings in a makeshift studio in the garage of his childhood friend, Edward "E-Dub" Rios, who would later become a producer for the Pocos Pero Locos radio show on L.A.'s Power 106. Both Down and Rios eventually established their own companies, Kilogram Music Group and Silent Giant Entertainment, respectively, and jointly released Down's California Cowboys LP in 2003. Although the album's guests included West Coast top dogs MC Ren, Daz Dillinger, and Snoop Dogg, California Cowboys had limited exposure. The same was true for the double-disc album (all Spanish on the first disc and mostly English on the second), Bosses and Jefes (2004), recorded for Venemusic and billed under the Kilo alias. Within the year leading up to summer 2007, several popular rap/R&B singles were spawning new dances for the rest of the nation to catch onto. Down simply cut into that market, delivering a Latino-themed dance hit, "Lean Like a Cholo." The ensuing album, The Definition of an Ese, had the same approach, offering smoother, R&B-driven productions, courtesy of up-and-comer Fingazz (Lil' Robb, Kurupt, Brown Boy). Released via Universal's Latin-based imprint Machete Music, the LP peaked in the Top 20 on both dance and rap charts. ~ Cyril Cordor, Rovi

Simply Perfect! Couldn't fault our stay and would happily stay again. In fact we have stayed a few times using alternative booking systems. Great location and wonderful staff.

We stayed for four nights. The one bed room unit is confortable and the facilkities good. The only blemish was that housekeeoing forgot to do our room one morning. Other than that I would recommend the hotel for anyone wanting a spacious abnd well serviced apartment with great views and close to all facilities.

Today on Discovery Enterprise in order to commemorate the
seventy-eighth birthday of Carl Sagan and celebrate Carl Sagan Day we present Remembering Carl Sagan with Annie Druyan.
George Noory spoke with Ann Druyan, widow of the late
astronomer Carl Sagan, and Michael Harrison, publisher of TALKERS magazine, a
trade industry publication related to talk radio and new talk media. The two
shared memories about Sagan and discussed their video podcast project, At Home in the Cosmos with Annie Druyan.
In the videos, Druyan provides intimate details of her life with and love of
the man who popularized science for millions with his books and television
appearances. Druyan said Sagan's secret to greatness was being "filled [in
equal measures] with both skepticism and wonder" about the Cosmos.
Carl Sagan was the rarest of all creatures - the
celebrity scientist. While some accused him of being a grandstander, none can
deny that his approach to science helped introduce millions of people to the
great wonders of the universe that fascinated him all his life.
He played many different roles - professor, working
scientist, bestselling author and TV personality. In his classic television
series Cosmos, he brought science to
the masses in an accessible, entertaining format.
He spent most of his career as a professor of
astronomy at Cornell
University where he
directed the Laboratory for Planetary Studies. He published more than 600
scientific papers and articles and was author, co-author or editor of more than
20 books. He advocated scientifically skeptical inquiry and the scientific
method, pioneered exobiology and promoted the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI).
The Voyager Interstellar Record |
Ann Druyan and Carl Sagan both collaborated on the Voyager Interstellar Records which were
included aboard both Voyager spacecraft, which were launched in 1977. They
contain sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture
on Earth, and are intended for any intelligent extraterrestrial life form, or
for future humans, who may find them. The Voyager spacecrafts are not heading
towards any particular star, but Voyager 1 will be within 1.6 light years of
the star Gliese 445 in the Ophiuchus constellation in about 40,000 years.
Murmurs of Earth - Inspired by Carl Sagan Images (and sounds) from the Voyager Interstellar Record.
This is awesome material currently traveling through space and to the stars. Pay attention to the pictures, they tell our story... This is a message of hope and good will, of who we are and what we used to be like. It talks about us, life and our planet. The background music, by Bach, is also in the Voyager record as is the greetings in 55 languages. I read somewhere, who knows if it is true, that when deciding what music to include someone asked Carl Sagan if they should include Bach to which he replied: "Now,that would be showing off."

Andrea Hamilton started dancing when she was just two years old, a toddler watching her big sister's dance class.
"I was so young I wasn't able to be in classes yet, but I would dance out in the waiting room," she said.
Her sister's studio agreed to enroll her in classes early. From there, Hamilton's love and study of dance took her to local and national competitions, where she brought home national titles. She danced with the Edgewood High School Choraliers show choir, at Kings Island and with the Dance Troupe at Northern Kentucky University, where she majored, not surprisingly, in dance.
Now the 23-year-old Trenton resident has opened Art in Motion Dance, a 2,000-square-foot dance studio in Fairfield Township's Bridgewater Falls Lifestyle Shopping Center, with her mother, Cindy Short.
Consisting of two separate dance studio rooms, Art in Motion will offer recreational and competition classes for children ages two and up, as well as adult classes, in a range of dance styles, including jazz, tap, ballet and hip hop.
Hamilton has been teaching for six years in some capacity; her experience includes teaching at All That Jazz Dance Center in West Chester.
"I had a good amount of students, so I felt it was time to open my own [studio]," she said, noting that the support of her family — her boyfriend, Ryan Dotson; two-year-old daughter Madeline; and her parents — encouraged her decision.
She said she hopes her personal teaching style will set her studio apart.
"I like to take the time to actually know my students," Hamilton said. "I've gotten a lot of compliments from parents about how I handle their children.
"I try to pass along a little piece of myself to them," she added. "Watching them grow as dancers and knowing that I had some kind of effect on them, it's just exhilarating."
Located at 3425 Princeton Road, Suite, 115, in The Village at Bridgewater Falls next to Cincinnati Bell, the studio officially opens and begins classes today, but a grand opening is in the works for sometime in August, Hamilton said. She'll employ three other instructors in addition to herself.
Studio hours are 4 to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to noon Saturday.

Tips for Eco-Friendly Landscaping
Eco-friendly practices have taken the front seat in the past few years. You can also adopt these measures to design a landscape in your backyard garden. It is important to know that although the cost and effort of setting up an eco friendly system in your backyard can seem challenging, it pays off in the long run. The following are a few tips you can use to maintain an eco-friendly landscape design.
Planting local varieties
You may want to plant exotic species in your garden to make it unique and visually striking. However, this is not always advisable as local plant species also provide the same aesthetic beauty to your backyard with additional advantages. Local species are adept to the climate and can grow very well in your backyard. The exotic species you choose may or may not adapt to the local weather and may also need more water to sustain. Depending on your location, you can plant various local species that require little water thereby saving more. You can also help save costs, fuel and water used for the transportation of exotic species.
Using organic and 'live' products
Avoid using poisonous pest control methods on your plants. Instead, you can use natural pest control like ladybugs, mantises and spiders that feed on unwanted pests in your garden. Use chemical free fertiliser on your plants to keep them healthy without exposing them to harmful chemicals. You could also use leftover materials from your previous landscaping project and put it into a compost pit to make more fertilizer. Organic products improve plant growth and soil health without harming other animals present in the local vegetation.
Effective management of water
Build a rainwater harvesting system in your backyard to water the plants. If you are facing difficulties with the installation, you could contact professional landscaping designers to plan and install eco friendly devices in your backyard. This collected rainwater can not only be used for your garden, but can also be processed to serve as drinking water. Maintaining such practices can help you save a lot of resources over time.
Installing energy efficient lighting
Every backyard should be properly lit to show off beautiful flowers and other decorations. Instead of choosing energy consuming lights, you can opt for LED or solar power based lighting systems. Although the initial cost of setting up a solar panel can run a little steep, the long term effects are clearly visible in your electricity bills. LED bulbs provide bright light while consuming low power and are also long lasting.

Whatever the source of this motivation, the site design landscaping ideas to develop in a way that complements the look of your home and help expand your outdoor living space in a way that fully expresses the values and subjective feelings of personal lifestyle.
7 Important Tips for Landscape Design
Landscape design conventional view tells a comprehensive presentation of the location of individual bushes and flowerbeds. In reality, every time you go in any plant sales outlet, you will engage in different design process, whether intentionally or instinctively.
Judging by the consequences I see, there is abundance of designers having instinctive ability to understand things. Many landscapes are a set of plants chosen randomly and positioned arbitrarily. There is not only the shortage of consistency, but it is much worse that the plants are out of a passive, requiring costly treatments of pests, pruning or complete removal often long before they have completed their normal life.
Even if a comprehensive plan is a precious tool, there is nothing incorrect with conniving on the fly. Knowledgeable gardeners perform this all the instance, frequently with enormous joy. Whichever the technique you prefer, here are several tips to generate a landscape that stands out from the mass and minimizes headaches in the future.
So, don't miss to read out the whole article to learn the following 7 important tips of landscape design:
Chart to equipment admission:
You need to provide importance and emphasis on access of future equipments in case you need to make any change in your home and find problem in letting them in. You might have to make arrangement for a project or repair that might require a strong monster machine or equipment to enter into your backyard. Plan ahead for that, or you are going to face unprecedented trouble in accomplishing that project or repair and have to pull many of its plantations of great value to you.
Begin with (and hold) the key points:
Simply put a hub is something that "makes you stare". At its top, whatever "that lead you visually, and bound you feel astonished, stimulated, or devoted to move about through the garden."
While we think the use of a sample tree or a sculpture as a crucial point, there are much other potential. The solution is discovering something that is "very different from the rest of your landscape in shape, consistency or color." It might be an architectural element of your home or even a rented idea.
Leave a formal landscape of the rich and famous:
Formal landscape is one of the most difficult forms to create, and its maintenance can be tedious. But you should not forget to make it formal and taking some looks at traditional, rich and famous landscape designs.
The main problem can be keeping the symmetry as maintaining right proportion is extremely tricky. For instance, if you have two of the similar kind of evergreens at the corners of the residence, and one of them passes away, it can be extremely complicated to locate a similar alternate. Every now and then, she carries on; the only option is to replace the two, which increases costs. One of the most frequent troubles is a hedge or groundwork planting, in which one or two bushes have yield to the pestilence. Be cautious to place all your eggs in one container.
Keep in check the curves:
Full curves add attention to your garden, but do not do too much it. A set of amoeba-shaped beds would be an exaggeration, then a curved path that catches you away from the road to your target. Long, delicate curves are frequently the most excellent.
Add movement:
Without movements a landscape is just like a painting and they are suitable in the walls not in your garden so your garden need to add some different interest and liveliness. Your garden can not be completed devoid of a few decorative grasses swaying in the gentle wind. Attach flowers to create a center of attention to hummingbirds and butterflies.
Ignore the obstacles:
When you live somewhere for a short time, you may be inclined to admit existing features as obstacles, at times even not fully observing. Instead of designing the bush attacked, established trees, worn or deck, decide eliminating them. You can find out innovative opportunities, such as a sun-drenched place for a garden bed.
Place the right plant at the right place:
There is every chance that somebody reading this article has listened to the old saying "Right plant, right place," I recommend you to assume it as her individual mantra gardening. The sentence must be continually repetitive on each trip to any nursery.
Besides being familiar with full height, you should take care in the growth rate as well. Since it expands rapidly, fast-growing plants may appear as a bargain. Eventually, time and money spent on pruning and other upholding tasks can be superior to the initial savings.
Lastly, remember that it is not essential to be a five-digit budget to get an outstanding landscape. If your landscape is two-week undertaking of the multi-phase plan, or a trip to nursery in a Saturday, the vital thing is to prefer plants with willpower, and put them considerately. The consequence is sure to bring years of satisfaction.
Dining Room Landscape Designing Tips
Dining room can be just beside a kitchen or can be in a separate space, the most vital thing is designing it simple, light and comfortable. A common room can be for both kitchen and dining room in so many homes but that might not be a good idea if you want to have a different environment and wants to offer more hospitality to all your guests at the time of taking foods. Here we emphasis on landscape designing tips that can help lessen and share the kitchen and eating areas, separate rooms for one another and to have different and comfortable eating environment.
Interior Garden Landscape Design Idea
A Lot of interior landscape designing ideas are available for decades and interior landscape designing has got huge popularity. These days everybody wants to have a perfect landscape design for their house, office building and/or any other place where they are to stay longest part of the day. Even people are competing with one another to have the best interior landscape design.
Apparently, you must think environmental factors before integrating plants into the interior spaces of your house or office. Some significant concerns comprise of adequate light be it natural or artificial, water supply, drainage and plenty of air flow etc.
In fact, people hope that the inner landscaping plants will be gorgeous and healthy at the same time mustiness to keep in mind that the plants are not obviously cultivated inside the house or buildings. For this reason you must take care of those plants as it has some more needs than it would have required if it were outside. So, you need to be more careful in terms of selecting right plants for interior landscaping designs. If you have less time to take care of them then you should go for those plants that take less care like need less or no watering.
Interior Garden landscape design is something more than just placing some trees, plants and containers in the free space of your office or house. This is what can give you, your colleagues, your customers and clients and even your family (if it is your home) lots of pleasure and enjoyment to stay in and to look at adding value to your property.
Luckily, many outstanding improvements have been made in interior landscape design to have better living and working condition and also to increase the lasting impressions toward the customers and clients of any business organizations. Also a great range of plants that have evolved from desert to tropical plants adapted to become interior gardens plants.
As light is an essential attribute in the choice of plants for an indoor garden, the typical types of plants for indoor gardening are low light, medium light, bright light and high beam, which return all the prerequisites of light the plant need to grow indoors.
Following are some perfect example of common interior landscaping plants for your home or office:
Parlor palm and shrub Neanthe Bella can be some better option for you as it needs less light but takes frequent watering. Low light plants are perfect for the interior side of your office or home. It will look like it is taken a great care of and increase the attraction of your property.
You can go for some medium light plants like Laurel fig tree or the Dragon Tree which can add great attraction to your interior landscape design. If you have some poor gardening habit and little or no knowledge of gardening, you will not face any problem dealing with them since if you forget to water them they will not look like that they are not taken care of.
Although it might not be a perfect idea to go for some high light plants for your interior garden landscape design, still you can go for them but need to take a bit more care than low or medium light plants. Plants of high light requirement might require at least 500 foot candles and can range to 1000 candles. Miniature Date Palm, Clustered Fishtail Palm, Elephant Foot Tree, European Fan Palm can be examples of high light plants that might be perfect even inside your house or office.
Even after choosing some perfect plants you need to take care of the plants as still some insects and pest problems. You need to use exact amount of fertilizers and insecticides to keep them fresh and natural. You need to choose the right containers for the plants too.
This has become a great fashion to have wonderful plants inside the house and office. You must have gained something from this article that will make you design some perfect interior garden landscape for your house or office. So, go ahead and enjoy your perfect interior garden landscape design and get praised by all.

The Enchanged City
by Chelsea Rae Simmons
December 5th, 2009
by Chelsea
As a small town girl from Connecticut by way of Michigan, New York City is sort of magical, especially during the holidays. As the train rumbles and squeals beneath me on my way to the Twinkle office, the buzz of the morning rush is palpable.
During the winter months, the sun sets early, and as I walk back to Grand Central Terminal from Twinkle, the bright lights of the city are my holiday lights. I usually get home and eagerly tell my loved ones of the funny moments and wonderful experiences I had during the day and, sometimes, during my nightly slumber, I find my real life blurring into an enchanted dreamland. I am usually wearing one of my favorite Twinkle dresses, like the 'Classically Stated' dress from Fall '09, and doing all the romantic touristy thing with some handsome mystery man who's bound to sweep me off my Christian Louboutined feet— care for a carriage ride around Central Park?
When I awake, I realize it was all a dream. It doesn't bother me, though, because soon enough I'll be back in NYC, my real Prince Charming, and having a blast while interning at Twinkle HQ.

Each week we discuss one familiar halakhic practice and try to show its beauty and meaning. The columns are based on Rabbi Meir's Meaning in Mitzvot on Kitzur Shulchan Arukh Birkhat Kohanim Without Shoes One of the nine decrees of Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai is that the Kohanim are not allowed to wear sandals when they ascend the duchan to bless the congregation (Rosh HaShana 31b). Since most of the other decrees are related to the Temple and especially to adjusting to the destruction of the Mikdash, the natural tendency would be to assume that this decree too is a commemoration of the Temple, where the Kohanim were forbidden to wear any kind of footwear. This seems to find an echo in the Rambam, who writes that the Kohanim are not allowed to wear shoes and then makes the seemingly superfluous addition, "rather they stand barefoot" (Mishneh Torah Tefilla 14:6). However, we find that the later Sages gave a much different interpretation to this law. In Sota 40a, the gemara gives various examples of the great "awe of the public", the honor which needs to be given to the congregation. One example given is the prohibition for Kohanim to wear shoes on the duchan; Rashi explains that since the shoes are dirty it is not really respectable for the Kohanim to wear them as they bless the people. This approach finds expression in the ruling that the shoes themselves should be placed out of sight so that the congregation won't be offended by seeing them (MB 128:15), and in the rule that even socks shouldn't be worn if they are commonly worn outside and get dirty (MB 128:18). Yet Rav Ashi, one of the latest sages of the Talmud, gives an entirely different rationale for this decree: "Lest his shoelace become untied, and when he steps aside to tie it people will say that he is the son of a divorcee", and therefore not a Kohen. For this reason even indoor shoes (such as fabric slippers) are forbidden if they have laces (Arukh HaShulchan OC 128:12). Let us examine the factual basis for Rav Ashi's explanation. On the one hand, shoes add to our dignity. Yet they may sometimes come undone; then they become a disgrace. The Kohen would rather step aside from the duchan and endure rumors that he is not a kosher Kohen than remain on the duchan and endure the embarrassment of having everyone see his shoe untied. Evidently Rebbe Yochanan ben Zakkai concluded that it is better if all Kohanim dispense with shoes altogether; then there is no embarrassment in ascending the duchan barefoot. We may conjecture that shoes did not come untied so often that unsavory rumors were really a widespread problem. But the very hypothetical situation of the untied shoelaces is a symptom of a grave problem; there is something inherently wrong with our attachment to our shoes if we consider an untied shoe more of a disgrace than a blemished pedigree! In this context, even a tied shoe loses its aura of dignity; it comes to symbolize subjugation to social convention rather than human elevation. There is nothing wrong with conventions and customs, and the dignity we attach to them. But we also have to know when to put these petty observances aside and focus on our inherent human dignity. As the Kohanim ascend the duchan to bless the people, they need to put aside accouterments of mere social and conventional elevation. They should be concentrating on the unique spiritual elevation which their descent gives them, and which alone enables them to be the vehicle of the special Divine blessing of Birkhat Kohanim.

Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz Marry In Corsica
Alicia Keys and hip-hop producer Swizz Beatz have exchanged "I Do's." The couple tied the knot Saturday in Corsica while surrounded by close friends and family. U2′s Bono and actress Queen Latifah were also in attendance. Keys, who is expecting the couple's first child, wore a white gown while Beatz wore a white tuxedo. Keys and her new husband first arrived on the island of Corsica just days before their wedding where she was spotted sporting a baby bump while wearing a bikini. The couple announced they were expecting in May, and the baby is due in November. This will be Keys' first child.
Swizz Beatz already shares a child with his ex-wife Mashonda Tifrere, who is also an R&B singer. She and Beatz, whose real name is Kasseem Dean, announced their plans to divorce in April of 2008. They had their first and only child — a son named Kasseem Dean Jr. — in 2007. The famed beatmaker also has a son named Prince from a previous relationship.@KanyeWest Says Next Album Comes From "Excitement And Joy"
Rap superstar Kanye West continues to reveal details about his upcoming album. The emcee stopped by "Rolling Stone" last Friday, where he discussed the inspiration for his next release. He remarks, quote,
"Everyone says all great art comes from pain but I think my greatest art comes from excitement and joy. It's a completely different perspective about being extremely excited about stuff that is only cool to me."
Kanye also discussed his obligations as a rapper, pointing out that above all else he has to stay loyal to the truth. He explains, quote,
"There's people throughout history that their responsibility is to be conveyors of truth onto [the] next generations. I feel like I'm that type of person that has to carry on the truth and tell the story not 'his'-story."
Kanye West's yet-untitled fifth album is due in stores this September. The record will be Kanye's follow-up to 2008′s "808s and Heartbreak," which has been certified platinum. If I must say I think Kanye seems much more  happier  these days, he has even decided to join twitter hit him up @KanyeWest. Here are some pic's of him and Jay-Z out eating lunch this weekend.

Chelsea Clinton & Marc Mezvinsky Get Married
America's lil princes Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky officially tied the knot Saturday night (July 31) at a private estate in Rhinebeck, N.Y. The bride wore a beautiful Vera Wang gown while the groom presented himself in a Burberry tux. Looking at these pictures of Bill Clinton makes me feel as though I am getting old as hell. Bill looks like he can barley walk. The wedding was an eventful experience for everyone, especially the Clinton's who released a statement saying:
"Today, we watched with great pride and overwhelming emotion as Chelsea and Marc wed in a beautiful ceremony at Astor Courts, surrounded by family and their close friends. We could not have asked for a more perfect day to celebrate the beginning of their life together, and we are so happy to welcome Marc into our family. On behalf of the newlyweds, we want to give special thanks to the people of Rhinebeck for welcoming us and to everyone for their well-wishes on this special day.â€
Big Boi's Big Kidz Foundation Fundraiser Auction Off Celebrity Art Work
Antwan "Big Boi†Patton held the 5th Annual fundraiser for his Big Kidz Foundation.(7/19) I really wish I would have had the opportunity to come out but from what I heard and StraightFromtheA is reporting the event was field with wonderful Art and music. Yall know I paint so what would have been right up me lane. The evening's theme was "Canvas for Kids†and Big, along with a few of his celebrity friends like T.I., Martha Stewart, Andre 3000, Idris Elba, Ludacris, The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Janelle Monae and more, all contributed an original piece of artwork to auction off for the kids. Big even contributed a bit of his own cash to the cause! He came out of pocket with $1,800 after winning a bidding war for George Clinton's masterpiece.
The event, hosted by funnyman Faizon Love aka Big Worm and was held at the Mason Murer Fine Arts Gallery. Jennifer Lester, executive director of Big Kidz foundation, explained the goal for the evening and addressed the issue of school budget cuts, stating:
We asked several celebrities to create one-of-a-kind canvases to be auctioned off at the height of this evening, so we aren't only excited to have the support of the city of Atlanta with the mayor creating a piece, we also hope to raise a lot of money for the arts, because we know that millions of dollars, not only in Atlanta, but throughout Georgia, have been cut from the school budget and the art programs and the extracurricular activities are the first to go.
The top selling piece of the evening was T.I.'s "King†creation, which sold for $2,200. I don't have a photo of it but picture this… a crown drawn in the center of the canvas sprinked with a drizzling of paint drippings. Yeah… it'll be worth millions one day.
Big Boi's objective with his Big Kidz Foundation is to introduce kids to the arts and humanities. With schools these days cutting budgets for these types of programs, it is his hope to provide a solution for kids in the form of activities geared towards keeping their creativity alive.
"Having the arts program is very important. It gives kids something to look forward to besides the schoolwork,†he said. "We want to provide a forum where kids can be creative and express themselves.
We're all about the arts and supporting music and theater and whatever else they want to do.â€

'Round Midnight (1944)
Comment Policy
- Noah Baerman
Round Midnight is Thelonious Monks best-known jazz composition and carries the grand distinction of being the most-recorded jazz standard written by any jazz musician. The Monk CD, Best of the Blue Note Years documents the 1947 group recording of Round Midnight (1991, Blue Note 95636). A solo version from 1957 is available on Thelonious Himself (1991, Orig. Jazz Classics 254).
According to Thomas Fitterling in Thelonious Monk: His Life and Music, Monk wrote Round Midnight when he was just 18. Eight years later, in 1944, at jazz pianist Bud Powells urging, Cootie Williams and His Orchestra recorded the song. Depending on whose version of history you believe, Williams modified the composition either very slightly or not at all. In any case, he shares credit for it in terms of copyright. Originally titled Round About Midnight, Monks composition became the theme song for Williams Orchestra. Jackie Paris introduced it as a vocal in 1949, after Bernie Hanighen added the lyrics.
Notes on www.monkzone.com state that in 1946, Dizzy Gillespie added his famous introduction and cadenza for his big band arrangement, which proved so popular that Monk added it (albeit an altered version) to his own performance... It is now a standard part of the song. Monk first recorded it as a leader on November 21, 1947.
A major turning point for Round Midnight, for Miles Davis, and also for the world of jazz was Davis show-stopping performance of the song at the 1955 Newport Jazz Festival. This was considered a sort of comeback for Davis, resulting in a contract with Columbia Records and the release of one of the definitive recordings of Round Midnight on his 1956 Round About Midnight LP with John Coltrane (ts), Red Garland (p), Paul Chambers (b), and Philly Joe Jones (d). The original session is available on Davis Round About Midnight (2001, Sony).
Davis performance at Newport and his subsequent recording played a large part in introducing this song to the jazz public at large. One critic has called it the National Anthem of Jazz.
Round Midnight is best characterized as a darkly beautiful ballad with an after-hours feel that manages to sound fresh and original decade after decade. Its haunting overtones are nearly tangible. Bernie Hanighen wrote the poignant lyrics about a rocky love affair and the resulting sadness,
Im feelin sad ...my heart is still with you
and longing,
Let our hearts take wings ...Let the angels sing...
Round Midnight is also the title of a critically acclaimed film starring Dexter Gordon (1923-1990) as Dale Turner. Turner is a composite character loosely based around the lives of Bud Powell (1924-1966), Lester Young (1909-1959), and even a little bit of Gordon himself. In the film, Turner is a brilliant but troubled tenor saxophone player in the 1950s who spends his last eight years in Paris.
Round Midnight won both the British and Academy Awards for Best Score by Herbie Hancock. Hancock also appeared in the film along with musicians Wayne Shorter, Tony Williams, and Ron Carter. A CD of the films soundtrack is available and quite good. Gordon received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor in the film. It is not a direct adaptation of the book, Dance of the Infidels: A Portrait of Bud Powell; however, a fictionalized version of the relationship between Bud Powell and the books author, Francis Paudras, is portrayed in the film.

Musical analysis of Round Midnight
Comments (assumed background)
The B section, while sounding all over the place, is really based on a vi7(b5) -II7 -V7 progression which uses a tri-tone substitution for the II7, allowing the bass line to descend chromatically. This repeats twice and then continues on down. The progression we might expect to hear would be a ii7 -V7 -I in Gb major, but Monk likes to do the unexpected, landing on chords that are more coloristic than functional. The best advice to the novice learning this tune is: once you are familiar with the head, listen closely to the bass line.
In the forty years Ive played Round Midnight, Ive done so to my satisfaction perhaps a dozen times at most. Its one of the hardest for me in that, to play it really correctly, you cant use those fake book changes; you have to use the Monk changes or it sounds silly (to me). And theyre hard to hear if youre not totally focused and tuned into the piece. Its a mood piece and one thats a stand-alone like a classical composition... you dont have to improvise on it. Just play it right. Thats something very, very few musicians alive can do.
Jessica Williams, jazz pianist www.jessicawilliams.com
Jim Clark, jazz saxophonist www.realsax.com
I agree with the other comments regarding difficulty of playing this tune with other musicians. The problem is that the popularity of the tune has spawned so many different recordings and reharmonizations. My favorite recording is his original solo piano version. That is the version from which I based my recording (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=967rK9OGm8g).

This is what I wanted Dior Rosy Tan to be! I have been using this nearly every day for weeks and weeks, only sometimes switching it up so I don't use it up too quickly! The end result is always awesome! Sweet, discrete colours that actually bring out all eye colours (eg just recently I used it on a woman with green eyes-my own are brown-equally awesome on both of us!) without overstepping the line from 'your eyes are gorgeous' to 'i like your eyeshadow!'
I don't know what it is, but it is really difficult to find such a perfect and harmonious blend of shades that don't look too made-up. Am obsessed with 'natural' looks these days after years of OTT creative looks that probably had strangers questioning whether I was a bit insane (those who knew me knew there was no question about it..). This is the perrrrrrfect palette for 'natural but not boring'-The pinkish hue keeps it from being too discrete and blah.
The formula seems powdery and bad quality but trust me, it is so pigmented, blendable, and smooth. It is actually the perfect formula for this kind of look. The matte brown is easy to overdo so tread carefully. it is a perfect brow filler too, for my eyebrow scar, best thing I've used. the concealer i use to even out lid colour, almost like a nude cream shadow. i also use it to smooth the edges upwards, so the eyeshadow is more 'winged'....
The medium rosy-brown shadow is my favourite. I thought it would be terrible as a crease colour because of the shimmer but strangely it adds to the 'glowing radiant eyes' result that you want. The look is terribly flattering. It is especially good for daytime. I even tried this on my mom and it was miles better than the other stuff she's used...it made her eyes seem more sparkly and bright which I KNOW sounds dumb but honestly! It is so so incredible.
Btw an eyeliner that goes really well with this is stila lionfish. P.s if something about this seemed 'off' to you, the Dior rosy tan palette may be more flattering on you for a similar 'big beautiful eyes' result (on my skin it didn't show up enough but worked great on others I used it on).. Also if the concealer in the benefit kit is useless for you, the dior works out to be cheaper!
I bought this palette about two months ago when I had a make up tutorial thing in Boots and she tried a load of different products on me (best Sunday afternoon ever).
I already had it in my mind that I wanted to purchase Big Beautiful eyes since so many friends had said they liked it. So when I went along to the tutorial thing, I let the assistant make me up and I instantly fell in love with it. It was girly and pink without being too obvious. The colours were subtle but classy and defined eyes in a nice gentle way.
It seemed perfect for uni days and even night time if I couldn't be bothered to attempt the smoky look.
However, I do have some small issues:
1) The concealer doesn't cater for everybody! I have pale skin and whilst this formula is lovely and creamy, the colour is just all wrong (when going for any concealer, it's better to be slightly paler than your skin that it is to be slightly darker!!)
2) The soft brush is lovely but the stiff side is a bit tricky to manipulate!
There are only very small issues (because at the end of the day, I wasn't buying this product for the concealer!).
I do tend to wear Urban Decay during the day mostly, just because I wear glasses and UD seems to make a bit more of a statement, but I regularly go back to BBE and I would buy another since I am still a big fan of the girly colours.
Perfect for English roses :)

Oh God. This has been with be for about 2 years. It's the best neutral eye palette I have ever tried. It really brightens my medium dark green eyes. You can use all the shadows together to create depth, or use them on their own. The lightest shade really brightens. The brush is just perfect. And the darkest shade is perfect as an eyeliner, and has proved to be the best brow filler I have found- goes on perfect with that brush. Lasts all day. It comes with Boing concealer- perfect for quick touch-ups, not only on my face, but little body skin flaws too. Most favorite makeup item I have ever owned...

I have been using this palette for the past few years and find it great as a handbag staple, especially if I find myself caught on the hop after work going out for unexpected drinks due to the concealer / shadow / liner combination. Instant day-to-night transformation - voila! The downsides: 1) The concealer is a little too dry for my skin-type to use all the time, it can look cakey or highlight my ever-increasing wrinkles if my skin is not sufficiently hydrated / moisturised enough prior to application. 2) The base colour should be larger as this is used most and always runs out before everything else, followed by the mid shade then the deepest shade (which I am always left with at the end. Seems like a waste). All in all though this is a groovy little kit that can either create a very natural or more dramatic look depending on the occasion. Will continue to buy until I find something better, if ever.

Love love love this! So natural looking and wearable. One of my favorite benefit products by far.
I am torn about this.
I love the form factor - it's a nice little compact, I haven't had any trouble with the shadows mixing into the concealer like some others have mentioned. The brushes that come with it are good and I love the mirror.
The concealer is nice - I find it blends so well and I can use it for general touch-ups in the middle of the day, always a plus! I also sometimes use it sometimes to just anchor my shadow so that it doesn't just end up in the crease of my eyelids.
I'm not sure about the colours, though. They're very, very subtle on me and I mostly only use them on the days where I want a little oomph but not necessarily to 'look' like I'm wearing makeup. The lighter two shades could be a bit darker or just a slightly different shade and I would be completely happy.
It's so handy for those days when I just want to slap on something quick, though, that it's still what I purchase to throw in my purse.
This is perfect for me. I am about to repurchase it for the 3rd time. I am not crazy about the Boing..especially since it's a bit dark..I'd prefer a larger base color as that always runs out first...but all in all I would say this is one of my favorite makeup purchases.

I love the funny-retro packaging (I'm a fan of all Benefit packaging) and I've used this palette a lot for the last year, so I suppose I can leave my perfectly positive review.
The Boing concealer works wonders for my under-eye circles and never gets cakey (I use it under my La Mer foundation).
The colours are great, although I wish the lighter shade came in a more neutral tone (in other words: too pink for me).
Also, you need to go with a very light hand when sweeping your brush, or you'll get a bit too much powder that will look chalky on lids.
Before I bought this, I was stuck between the UD Naked Basics in this palette. I already own the original Naked palette, however, I don't always have the time in the morning to apply it before hand, so I wanted to look for something I could carry with me on-the-go. The reason I went with the Big Beautiful Eyes (BBE) is because not only did it come with a concealer, it also came with brushes. Now onto the more important stuff :)
In the palette you are given:
- Concealer 1.8g 'Boiing in shade 02' I would say it is light/medium - fit for NC/NW 20-25
- Pink base 0.8g - Similar to Sin in Naked, but less shimmery.
- Warm brown contour 0.8g
- Matte brown liner 0.8g
The shadows are lovely and heavenly to blend, way better than I expected. It creates a very subtle look but enhances your eyes beautiful and not OTT. I love that it included a matte shade so you could use it to lightly contour and use it as a brow powder. Luckily, the concealer also matched my skin tone, making it the perfect palette for me.
I have quite oily lids so I normally wear these on top of the UDPP making it last all day, so I would say it is long wear, and even if it's not you could reapply easily throughout the day.
It comes in cardboard packaging with a magnetic closure. I can't say that it's ideal, but It feels very comfortable in the hand. It is very compact, the length being shorter than an iPhone 4. It also includes a generously sized mirror inside. Another reason why I picked this over the Naked Basics is because this included brushes - which to my surprise are okay quality, not the best, but definitely something you can work with. It fits in the palette so you don't have to worry about it messing your make up bag up. One little note though that's bothering me, I wish that it Benefit revamped the packaging of this so it matched with "peek-a-bright-eyes", which has the same concept as this but with different shades. The cream concealer that came with it comes in a pot and cover which is more hygienic, since fluff and dirt can stick to the concealer. None the less, hopefully they'll update it in the future but as for now, I'll live with it because the colours are perfect for everyday wear.
I do admit that the price is a little steep for the amount of product you get. I bit my lips a bit while I was paying for it, but the convenience it offers does make the price forgivable. You could always find cheaper alternatives on Ebay - but be weary of fakes.
I think this palette is suitable for all ages, young to old as the colours are appropriate for everything and doesn't scream 'make up'. I am a bit upset that the you couldn't change the concealer to fit your natural skin tone (for those with deeper skin), however I suppose you could still use it as an eye shadow base.
I only gave this 4/5 as there are some aspects Benefit could work on to improve this gorgeous palette. But nonetheless I love it and I'm sure I will repurchase it in the future. Hope this helped x

Like a lot of women, I do have a fair collection of make-up and won't leave the house without just a little something on. So when I stay at my other half's place I have a little makeup bag which has a couple of products in for convenience. It has a colour for all over the lid, one to contour and line the eye (I also put a touch of this through my brows) and a concealer. It even has little brushes in the palette, and they're decent quality too. I would never think to buy something like this, it was a gift but it's come in so handy, I think I'll have to repurchase. Very handy if you're going over someones over night and have somewhere to be the next day. Although, this would not be very flattering on dark skin it gives a very natural look to us pale ladies!

text: 1National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, Colorado, USA 2University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Abstract. This paper describes the coupling of the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM) version 5 with a unified multi-variate probability density function (PDF) parameterization, Cloud Layers Unified by Binormals (CLUBB). CLUBB replaces the planetary boundary layer (PBL), shallow convection, and cloud macrophysics schemes in CAM5 with a higher-order turbulence closure based on an assumed PDF. Comparisons of single-column versions of CAM5 and CAM-CLUBB are provided in this paper for several boundary layer regimes. As compared to Large Eddy Simulations (LES), CAM-CLUBB and CAM5 simulate marine stratocumulus regimes with similar accuracy. For shallow convective regimes, CAM-CLUBB improves the representation of cloud cover and liquid water path (LWP). In addition, for shallow convection CAM-CLUBB offers better fidelity for sub-grid scale vertical velocity, which is an important input for aerosol activation. Finally, CAM-CLUBB results are more robust to changes in vertical and temporal resolution when compared to CAM5. Citation: Bogenschutz, P. A., Gettelman, A., Morrison, H., Larson, V. E., Schanen, D.

just a trim
two and a half years of growth (granted there wasn't much going on in the growth-department for his first year) left him with quite the shaggy mop. which i loved.
anyone who knows me knows i love me some messy hair. my grandmother used to say, "it looks like you combed your hair with an eggbeater!" to me every time she saw me. and it was true. so i was down to let bonzo's hair get long and crazy. but it was starting to go from crazy to cray-zee. not off the charts or anything but the time had been upon us for a while. i just had to come to grips with reality: it was going to need a cut.
so after a week of playing haircut in preparation, we went to the salon – or barber shop as bonzo refers
to it – to get it cut by a homey. trimmed, really. i wanted to keep the length but just give it a bit of shape. and that's exactly what went down.
here's my guy the morning of.
don't think i wasn't having serious second thoughts about our 4 o'clock appointment.
(ps: this photo doesn't really do the mop much justice.)
bonzo was a super trooper at the salon.
i expected some hesitation – and maybe some tears – so we'd been "cutting hair" all week with bonzo's trusty play-doh scissors. we went through all the steps at home: the chair would go up and down, the cape (flour sack dish towel) would be draped over his shoulders then his hair would be sprayed, combed and cut. i was bonzo's barber and he was mine. we inspected my blowdryer thoroughly. listened to the sound it made and talked about the sounds we'd hear at the salon.
then we showed up for our appointment and hoped for the best. and bonzo ruled. no tears were shed. not even by me.
the front's always been a little shorter so it stayed about the same length and the back got snipped. little curls fell to the ground – only to be picked up and put in a ziplock.
here's bonz right when we got home, smiling about the results:
and here he is the next day. i'm pretty sure haircuts make you run faster:
and, just like that, he went from cute to cuter. i didn't think it was possible but... turns out, it just keeps on happening.
11 comments:
that's my exact experience with natalie. they get cuter by the day; it's unreal.
i'm not looking forward to the day when i take her for her first trim (if i have any say in the matter - which.. yay! i do! - that girl will have hair for days)
bonzo does still hold the title for spiffiest toddler man. even more now, then before.
he did so great!omg. he did get cuter. at first when i just read the beginning i was like, "no sara no! don't ever cut that boy's hair!" but i'm glad to see you still kept it shaggy... just a little trim. no biggie, bonz!
and i love to see him wrapped up with his a+a swaddle. i have so many and am determined to continue finding uses for them even though parker's not so wee any longer.Repliesit'll always be shaggy... bonz is a shaggy hair kinda guy, that's for sure.
as for the a+a blankets - we have a bunch and i'm still always using them!!
his new favorite is to swaddle everything in sight in them... and then ask to be swaddled himself.
he's got babies on the mind, that guy! xx
Our nanny took it upon herself to give our boy a trim while I was at work one day a few weeks ago. I was devastated and felt completely robbed of the 1st haircut experience :( At least she kept the hair, but still...it's a big deal!
You're right, he did go from cute for cuter. Isn't it amazing how you think there's no way in the world that could happen and then it does again and again? ;-)
