Topic: There's no such thing as prog
Posted: April 02 2010 at 17:55
< ="utf-8">
Yes was my "gateway drug".
At the time, I knew of the existence of a few other prog bands. Most notable in my collection were three bands called Rush, Supertramp and Pink Floyd. In my head, these four bands were all "Classic Rock", a genre I was very much into, and although I knew that they were labelled as Progressive Rock as well, that categorisation was the only thing that gave me a clue that they were related.
Then came Yes' Fragile, the album that finally changed me from someone who was aware of prog and who liked some of it, to someone who actively sought it out.
Although it wasn't prog, specifically, I was looking for. It was more Yes, although at this point I didn't have a credit card and make purchases through Amazon yet, so I was forced to shop at the local stores. They never had Yes in stock that I hadn't heard, so I would browse through their catalogue, stopping on bands like Genesis, Rush, Jethro Tull, Gentle Giant, Uriah Heep, etc...bands that I had heard might be vaguely related to this monster known as Yes through their affiliation with the genre "prog". And my interest in it grew.
My collection grew, eventually I got a credit card and began shopping for the bands that you can't find in stores here a lot of the time - Gabriel era Genesis, Camel, Caravan, VDGG, etc. I loved most of it, except for Frank Zappa's Hot Rats, which had been so different from everything else I heard that I didn't know what to make of it, and switched between loving and hating based on my mood. (Still do, actually)
For a few months, I was a "prog snob", where somehow I had replaced the phrase "good music" with "prog music" in my brain. Frank Zappa remained the only anomaly.
Strangely, it was Marillion's Misplaced Childhood that snapped me out of it. When I heard that album, close to a year after I first heard Fragile, I couldn't understand it. It didn't have what fit in with my perception of prog. Even bands that hadn't sounded too much like Yes - bands like Jethro Tull, or Pink Floyd, still sort of made sense to me, although the connection was tenuous. But Misplaced Childhood just didn't fit. The music sounded simple. The songs were short. The music was dominated by vocals. I grew to love it, but not before being very confused.
I realised that there was no such thing as progressive music, and a switch was flipped in my brain. The phrase "prog music" was once again switched back to "good music". And although, since that point in time, I have listened to mostly prog, and still don't like a lot of the stuff I liked before the revelation that was Fragile as much as I did before, I no longer seek out music simply because it is prog. And although I have journeyed deeper into the genre, bands like Magma, Miriodor, Mew, Pendragon, and more have only reinforced what I already knew.
Because I realised that there was no such thing as prog. There's just a bunch of music that is labelled as prog. How did this happen? Because you can listen to a band like Yes, and take something different out of it - but knowing that Yes is labelled as prog, assume that music that has that something is prog.
You could view Yes as a band that is famous for it's crazy skilled playing, and musicians with strong technical ability, and consider any music that is technically difficult prog. Suddenly, Dream Theater is prog.
You could view Yes as a band that used keyboards to add more to their music, and consider any music with keyboards prog. Suddenly, Marillion is prog.
You could view Yes as a band that wrote long "journeys" of songs, or epic length tracks. Suddenly, Jethro Tull is prog.
You could view Yes as a band that wrote music with long instrumental breaks. Suddenly, Pink Floyd is prog.
You could view Yes as a band that wrote ethereal music. Suddenly, Gong is prog.
You could see Yes as a band that innovated and did something new with rock music. Suddenly, Henry Cow is prog.
You could see Yes as classically influenced. Suddenly, Trans-Siberian Orchestra is prog.
You could see some Yes as having jazzy influences. Suddenly, Mahavishnu Orchestra is prog.
And through each of these bands, that has some tenuous connection to the music of Yes, a connection can be drawn from one of their attributes to other bands. And slowly, this word "prog" comes to mean a lot of different things, but never all at the same time. (Obviously, I'm not calling Yes the starting point of all prog music - although they were mine)
In the end, I learned something valuable, and that is that the progginess of music is relative and pointless. All that matters is, does the music sounds good? Does it elicit an emotional reaction?
PS. I love prog - most of the music I have heard that is labelled under the prog umbrella and it's various sub-genres, I have quite enjoyed.

indeed, though I would say the term 'Prog' is also not to be feared or resented, it's mostly a way for fans and music journalism to identify a family of like-minded artists in the way 'Bop' is used to distinguish a style of jazz, or 'Bluegrass' a style of country music-- i.e. I'm not a fan of country but quite enjoy some good Bluegrass, and would attend a Bluegrass festival before a Country music one even though they're related and have many of the same fans

I discovered Rush's Farewell to Kings and 2112 and especially dug their songs in the 7/8 time signature.
Next it was Yes' with their busy bass lines, majestic harmonies, interesting counterpoint and ambitious compositions. Close to the Edge still inspires me even to this day.
The day a friend played Gentle Giant's "On Reflection" for me, it was a life changing musical experience!
But I actually attribute my introduction to progressive rock way back to the age of 8, when I picked up an old album on discount by a very popular band and listened to it hundreds of times. It was ambitious! It told wondrous stories of kites and diamonds. It was *orchestral* in the way it turned my ears on. It employed middle eastern instrumentation within and without. It had a loosly unifying theme that was stated at the beginning of the record and then reprised at the end.
It was - of course - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
I had never heard the word "prog" - but I had the seeds of an idea planted in me from that early age. The concept that popular music could be *ART*. I didn't believe in 2 separate worlds of music - classical as "good" and popular as "sub-par". I believed that popular music could say something in such a way as to inspire and endure.
As hard as it is for us to envision today, back in their hey-day, bands like Camel and ELP were called Art Rock, Classical Rock, Ambitious Rock, Symphonic Rock just as much as they were called Progressive Rock. And it took much less to earn the distinction of Progressive Rock as well.
Things are so different now. As diverse and nebulous as the definition is, to the Prog fan, "progginess" has become a more clearly defined niche.
Had there been no Pink Floyd in the 70's, and Pink Floyd suddenly emerged in the year 2010, I'm not convinced they would be considered all that Proggie. But in the 70's, their songs were longer, their music more ambitious, and their production more crisp and inspiring than many of their contemporaries.
And even while conceding that Prog is a relative term like "tall" or "heavy", I submit that the concepts of "height" and "weight" exist regardless of which language is spoken or whether there is even a word to describe them.
You see, I had caught the vision of "Prog" before I even knew the term existed.
And, looking back, in many respects it was a naive notion. What did I know at the age of 8 really? Even so, it is not an idea without merit altogether. All these years and albums later, I still believe that some of the 22n'd Century's "Classical" music will be Highbrow Rock Music of the 60's and 70's.
In my vision of the future...
Frank Zappa will be mentioned in music appreciation textbooks. College kids will giggle at his juvenile and droll sense of humor even while they are ironically dazzled by his prolific and sharp musical wit.
Gentle Giant may get a mention for their counterpoint and cogent exposition of musical themes.
Yes will be mentioned for the majestic wonder of "Awaken" "And You and I" or "Close to the Edge".
Yes, Western Classical music explored tonality and harmony richly. But shifting time signatures, counter rhythms and polyrhythms were not as convincingly explored by the Classical community as they have been by the Proggers. Fast forward to the modern era and the "classical" community hasn't quite known what to do with electronics. Classical academics were utterly confounded and downright sterile in their attempts to write music for the synthesizer! But artists like Vangelis, Synergy and Tangerine Dream brought these instruments to life!
And here is where you and I may agree. Some people say that these artists are not "prog". Well that is all going to come down to discussion of definitions of the term prog. Good luck with that!
But when they first came out, those guys were right next to GG and Yes in the record bins. They both were striving in the same direction. Popular music as legitimate ART!
I define prog-rock as rock music that seeks to attain ART status. And by that definition, my assertion is that even before the term "Prog" existed, "Prog existed".

This is the view of someone looking back through time and drawing conclusions that are not valid in the true chronology. Nothing can change that, even in the minds of people who witnessed the transformation of rock music into Prog in real time as it developed. Our view of any passed event is altered by later events, we can never look at Wind And Wuthering in the same light as we did when it was first released in light of Genesis's later releases and, perhaps even, the whole Neo Prog subgenre. And so it is with Fragile - our view and perception of that album is modified by what they would do on later albums, it is even changed by the live versions on Yessongs where Rick Wakeman stamps more of his signature on those songs and by the developing imagery of Roger Dean's artwork. The stature and value of any album gains in relationship to what has come after, but not against what came before, even if we hear them in the "wrong order" - in that case all that changes is our perception or opinion in correcting a misconception.
I have heard many people spout truths about Prog that leave me mystified as to what it is they are hearing, or trying to say. Prog was real at the time, what gets called Prog or not now, long after the event, is somewhat irrelevant since if it had not occurred on the scale and breadth that it did in the ten years between 1968 and 1978 we wouldn't be talking about it now. We would be talking about Classic Rock or Good Music. We wouldn't be trying to analyse and pigeon-hole bands into narrow subgenres in the hope of them fitting to an preconceived notion of what those subgenres mean or referencing them back to a select few bands who "made it big" back in the 1970s.
Every band that releases an album changes our perceptions of what Prog is and in doing so opens the door a little wider. None of us can possibly hear every album listed here, so our idea of what Prog is is classified and defined by those albums we have heard, and as you imply, by the order in which we hear them- this is why two people can and will never agree on "what is Prog" because none of us have heard the same albums in the same order, or analysed them to the same depth, or with the same musical knowledge, or life experience, or social and/or geographical background, or in the same time frame. Everything changes everything.

I suspect that you may have been a bit perplexed by feeling a need for all prog to be "good" - or for all prog music to be music that you can enjoy or appreciate on a personal level. That does not need not be the case, however. Some prog can be poorly executed. And some prog can actually attain excellence in certain ways while still leaving you cold and un-moved. (There is an unstated corallary that may have also contributed to your cognative dissonance. It states that "Non-prog music is inferior music".)
If our definition of prog requires all prog to be "good" and "all non-prog" to be inferior, then I would agree that there would be no such thing as "prog". No objective combination of musical elements can define prog in such a manner as to attain the status of "good" to you. In that context, there truly is only music that you like/appreciate and music that you don't like/don't appreciate.
Viewing Yes as the center of the Prog Solar System, with Yes as the sun and all other "prog" bands revolving around them is interesting. It is historically inaccurate, but still kind of fun because I love Yes! No doubt that is the chronology in which you experienced Prog - and in that respect - these observations are very valid.
Yes, however, were in fact influenced by many of the same environmental variables as bands as varied as The Who, Vanilla Fudge, the Beach Boys, the Beatles, The Nice/ELP, Genesis, The Moody Blues, King Crimson and many others. It can be fun to go back and listen to these bands with someone who explains the context in which these artists were writing and performing their music. In the past, I've enjoyed listening to music while in a chat-room, hearing individuals who are a little older than myself talking about what was going on in their musical perception when the songs were first "released".
It is true that Yes shares at least some characteristic with most Prog bands. That is one reason why they are such an illustrious prog band. I would consider these commonalities as evidence that there indeed *are* musical elements that enable us construct a semi-functional general concept of "prog" music.
And, as difficult as it may be to define "prog", I suggest that it is far more difficult to define "good". Unless of course, we are saying that "good" simply means whatever elements of music I most highly value and appreciate at this point in my life. Would the song "Happy Birthday to You" really be *better* if it was fugal, , requiring 4 uniquely interwoven harmony vocal parts? Not if the goal is to have a fun song everyone can sing to someone on their birthday, that's for sure!!!

Well stated and supported arguments, my good fellow. I have always contended that, where Jethro Tull is concerned, only Thick as a Brick and A Passion Play are prog. The rest of their work...not so much.

I agree with Dean, above, and also with the thread title, in the sense that "prog" as used here is not a genre -- it's much too diverse. (Warning -- I've said all of this before here, many times.)
These days, "prog" is mostly a highly subjective value judgement. The "progressive" label is also a bit unfortunate, and often misleading -- it implies "advancing" or "improving" rock, when it's often just making it more complicated, inaccessible, retro, or just plain weird.
I've long believed the term has largely outlived its usefulness as a meaningful way to categorize music. It's just too darned far-ranging in the styles it supposedly encompasses.
We bestow it like an honorific here -- we supposedly find "worthy" progressive rock, prog jazz, prog folk, etc, but no prog country, no prog reggae, prog rap, prog pop, etc. We bend and revise music labels to make them "fit" here.
Treating a thing so subjective and fluid as art like something which can be exactingly labelled and categorized for all (as in science) is very problematic. Basically, there are as many definitions of "prog" here as there are forum members. In the end, it's just all MUSIC -- that is the only certain, solid link (some will even question that assumption).
Does that bother me? No -- even if lots of music which I find to be above average or more "adventurous" for its type is not deemed to belong here, still lots of other music I like (plus lots I don't) is here.
Plus, there are many nice, fun, clever folks!

I think the biggest point to make is that our perceptions and enjoyment of music, regardless of complexity, song length, musicians abilities, etc., is what is important. We all hear music differently, so we each have our own standard for what is "good" and what we want to and enjoy listen too.
"Prog" is simply a label or tag, as several have noted all ready, to attempt to pigeon-hole and/or categorize what is beyond categorizing. Just look at the vast diversity of bands and music on this site and you can understand the point.
We tend to focus too much on giving things names and defining things. Music is a very personal choice and each of us has our own definition of what we find good and enjoyable. That's what is important, not what that music is labeled as.

Well I 'm going to be doing a prog rock radio show (local uni station.) Therefore I need a definition for the music. It is Art Rock, artisitcally progressed rock music that combines other styles and types of music (not the other way round - it IS rock, it used / fused anything else available to advance it's cause; thus it's progressive rock music.
There, now it is defined I can think about how people who have never heard the likes of Unvers Zero are going to feel when I launch Heresie at them. Any suggestions for more of the darkest and most frightening music gratefully accepted.
Cheers me up no end.
P.S. A metal show follows / will follow me. This could be fun....

The "Critique Oblique" segment of A Passion Play is dark, frightening, progressive AND it has breaks for cuing a beginning and ending (hard to find them on that album). Tear 'em up, tiger!

The basis of Dean's post is that music is ART for the ears. Once we use the word "art" we then open up the proverbial can of worms, they spew out from every angle, and we start coming up with different words and explanations for what we think is art. Plain and simple its what you like, so hence we will always add our own explanation.
Does it matter when the art was released? Only to the critics during discussion sessions, if it came out in 1972 it had a meaning in 1972......In 2002 it has a completely different meaning to the "new" listener who wants to discuss what HE thought it meant in 1972......That's where two people will never agree on the topic. Does it matter? Probably not...should people care? I don't think so......but it is what it is. My opinion is just as important as yours!! Hence "Discussion Forums" will live forever.
So in my humble opinion.....I disagree with the thread title.....

"progressive" is -as all of the rest of the words in any language is- an empty concept or idea. This empty concept is then filled with meaning, which comes from a mix of personal experience (inner) and cultural consensus (outer)
we must infer then, that "prog" is a subjective term and unless all human beings objectively agree on what it stands for, "prog" will always remain a term of personal interpretation.
There are many people who find joy in intellectual debate -or discussion- hence they can spend hours and hours arguing on what the term "prog" stands for, with a greater or weaker sense of objectivity. To me, this can be nothing but an entertaining waste of time...
My point is, I agree with you that the LABEL "prog" isn´t synoninm for "good quality", but the TERM "prog" itself doesn´t actually mean anything per se. It´s only a matter a subjectivity....
good luck to all
music is nothing but what we listen, when we listen

The label prog is rock music elevated (composed, recorded performed) beyond a roots level. This way you can have a obviously highly talented indiviual such as Neil Young play direct music. Nio way is this artist a prog rock artist - he's just as good a non prog as prog artist say, Robert Fripp.
So to me prog is rock with all other musical possibilities (not all, nor perhaps more than one perhaps) but it is rock one step removed and rock (generally) has a high art form. Much as symphonic rock came from psychedelia, new wave from punk, Hip hop from disco (I'm joking here!), As forms of jazz developed from each other and the vlues (which while somewaht varied is still a roots music) then prog rock is what happens when rock gets development ambitions.
How else can one explain the whole punk thing anyway? Some people wanted basic direct rock and prog rock wasn't giving them what they want - nor could it really.
If a prog rock group has ambitions and fails to fulfill those ambitions (or are not virtuoso enough) then they really will be hung and drawn.
Just trying to keep the subjectivity out as much as I can.

It is what it is
if it is not prog then what the heck is it?
Not classic rock because you cannot pigeon hole all prog into that genre as it is not rock such as Miles Davis work.
The umbrella term prog works because it embodies what we have come to love and loathe about the genre. It encompases Jazz, Metal, Folk, Italian and German music, Classical music, heavy rock, Canterbury, electronica, 60s psychedelia and even this weird Zeuhl stuff, name another music genre that can achieve that.
The question I have is which genres do not belong to prog as an umbrella term? i would say Country (thankfully) and perhaps Western... though a lot of people will term these together as Country AND Western I prefer Western over Country as it is a better style of music. Then again Country does have some good music such as Clint Black and Johnny Cash, whereas Western is really designed for the more discerning well trained ear.....

Country, western, reggae, blues, metal etc, are all roots forms that evolve (except for country - the more reactionary the music (country) the less evolved it becomes. Metal evolves but it is still metal whether Sabbbath, Priest or Tool. It reflects it's audience.
Prog rock on the other hand reflects musical influence and demands of an audience. That's why it encompasses such a variety of styles and genres; assimilate them and develop new(er-ish) music.
Incidentally because the music (prog) makes demands of an audience there are audiences who do not want their music to be too demanding (hence the greater or lesser reactionary audience / music paradigm.) Change is unsettling and most people do not want change. Progression implies change, even states it. Prog rock still has that reactionary characteristic as well. Plenty of prog heads prefer e.g. Yes to re-do CTTE etc and reject the Rabin era. Just an example.
That is fine but still this music (personified by the RIO / Avant and Zeuhl styles.) This progressive music is demanding and will be that way forever.
Yes, I know RIO isn't a style but for want of a better pigeon hole term to place the marvellous Univers Zero it will have to do.

I don't quite understand that statement. Could you please elaborate? Do not most genres have reactionary (back to basics) individuals as well as revolutionary (let's stretch the borders) individuals?
Country actually has 2 hurdles to surpass in order to qualify as "prog". Not only must a country artist seek to expand their borders or to implement extended virtuosic stretches of instrumentation, they also must *rock* it all up a bit. If they remain too rooted solely in organic folk elements, they morph into virtuosic bluegrass... (For let us not forget that to a country listener, bluegrass is considered a sub-genre of country music every bit as much as (fill in your favorite prog sub-genre name here) is a sub-genre of Prog.
But certainly it can be and is done. Check out "Galactic Cowboys Orchestra" for one example!

AFAIK the most prog related country music would be the Grateful Dead. But roots music whether it be blues or country or whatever remains that way.
If blues is mixed with another form e.g soul it can become a "higher" art form e.g. jazz dependng on the level of intent and result (Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington) or remain as, say R and B soul. Both perfectly fine musics but one is more feet on the ground the other going in a direction that challenges the roots fan audience while the former most likely will not.
Of course once something's been around a while such as swing jazz it becomes or at least is viewed as reactionary by an (any) audience. Probably this means where a music has been develpoed is as far as it's going until it is taken in another direction. e,g, swing to bebop.
As for reactionary country.(tautology?).. I'm thinking of Bob's Country Bunker (yee hah) in the Blues Brothers at the moment. But then there are those awful (oops IMHO I mean) MOR c and w ballads. Another characteristic difference between "people's roots music" and progressive music is emotional views. More difficult to define but the more sentimental (intent of music) the less intellectual as well. Country music I find appealing is that guitar work of Chet Atkins. But there is not a lot of vocal but guitar virtuosity so therein lies that appeal to me at least.
Progressive means fusing and developing music. Say metal. e.g. Therion moved from black and death metal to symphonic and operatic develpoments. Very progressive and very challenging for head banging and mosh pit fans.
Led Zeppelin used to ask of it's audience to enjoy blues, jazz classical piano, acoustic, eastern music, space rock (page's guiatr improv) and the odd heavy rock tune all prolonging the moment they could hear Stairway. Noticeably after their demise the 80s metal bands hardly made too much of a demand on an audience that was more of a market than musical appreciators. Not that the industry let people in on that idea. Being told you are a cash cow is not flattering. You know what you're getting with an Iron Maiden album but not so certain with Rush.Commercialism, lack of demanding challenge, in fact easy listening (familiar sounds) equals non progressive and reactionary. e.g. Asia and 90125 Yes vs Tales Yes (or the Art Bears!)
Deceased UK DJ Tommy Vance once assured the audience of a Top 10 UK metal bands that Def Leppard will NEVER change. Very reassuring. But in the world of challenging progressive music such a thing is a gravestone. Having heard a recent Leppard tune a five minute car trip seemed to last an hour.

If you are struggling with equity problems, our expert team can run you through the different options available.
If you have taken out equity release and you have found yourself with financial problems, please contact our team for advice and support.
As financial support experts, we are able to assist you with your money troubles and equity release.
For those who are struggling with equity problems we have an expert team who are able to offer support and advice to relieve your money troubles. A number of people choose to use equity release to stay in their home whilst receiving loans as a cash lump sum or smaller payments. They will then repay the income provider at a later date - usually once you pass away. If you're having troubles with equity-release and you would like to discuss the equity problems with a professional, please make sure to fill in our contact form.
Equity release allows you to take out loans whilst staying in your home and pay them back at a later date. The two main types of equity-release include lifetime mortgage and a reversion plan. When taking out a lifetime mortgage you will receive a tax free lump sum and the loan will then be repaid after your death. Home reversion is similar, but you sell all or part of your house in return for a lump sum and lifetime lease. After your death the house will be sold which allows you to pay back to the lenders. We can provide more information regarding equity release help and how it works, so don't hesitate to contact us.
A number of things could lead to individuals being in debts. Credit cards certainly are a well-known option for individuals in the present day to buy things on. Purchasing from brochures like Next along with other high-street companies is often done to purchase goods. Banking companies can provide loans to individuals who need some additional cash to purchase things. Sometimes unsecured loans are offered http://www.debt-solutions.org.uk/types/unsecured/ and these lead to financial issues for some people. Financing a car enables you to get your perfect vehicle without paying for it for years in advance.
When you've got financial obligations that you can't find the money to pay back, it can bring about stress. You may think you have no place to go to solve your cash problem. Our specialists will assess your circumstances and present the ideal answer to alleviate your debt issues. We can offer financial support in order to reduce your difficulties involving finances.
You may find yourself falling under stress if you're short of funds. A lot of people inside the UK suffer with depression because of money worries. There's help accessible for anybody who has difficulties with money and payments. Make sure you find support today and stop your financial difficulties from becoming more serious. You could get a negative credit history if you have a problem with trying to repay debts. You should never spend cash you do not have and can't manage to pay back. If you skip repayments then legal notice letters can be brought up with your credit history. Your long term future may very well be affected by a below-average credit rating, and it may impact specific things like work opportunities and home mortgages.
Bad guidance is often provided to those people who are battling with debts. Many financial advice organisations impose a regular monthly fee for their help. These kinds of costs can then add to increased debts, making the repayments take even longer. As UK industry experts we are able to assist you in looking at the various answers to enable you to get free of debt. Our professionals can give you unbiased suggestions so be sure to speak to our team now. If you want equity release help we offer you support and assistance to relieve debts and financial worries.
The problems with these corporations are currently being assessed by the Financial Conduct Authority. They're examining debt advice companies which usually don't deliver the guidance that's really needed by individuals. Anybody with a considerable amount of debt must be supported by a skilled service. The FCA additionally would like financial organisations to support clients with paying back big debts.
When attempting to assess the ideal solution to become free from debt you must ask some questions. Just how much altogether do you actually have to pay to the creditors? Just how many people do you need to pay cash to? Precisely how much could you afford in monthly payments?

Numerous folktales are associated with the stones, including the tale reported in a rhyming version by William Camden in 1610, that a king was riding across the county with his army when he was accosted by a local witch called Mother Shipton, who said to him:
"Seven long strides thou shalt take, says she
And if Long Compton thou canst see,
King of England thou shalt be!"
His troops gathered in a circle to discuss the challenge and his knights muttered amongst themselves– but the king boldy took seven steps forward. Rising ground blocked his view of Long Compton in the valley and the witch cackled:
"As Long Compton thou canst not see, King of England thou shalt not be! Rise up stick and stand still stone, For King of England thou shalt be none; Thou and thy men hoar stones shall be, And I myself an elder tree!"
The king became the solitary King Stone, while nearby his soldiers formed a cromlech, or circle, called the King's Men. As the witch prepared to turn herself into an elder tree, she backtracked into four of the king's knights, who had lagged behind and were whispering plots against the king. She turned them to stone as well, and today they are called the Whispering Knights.The King Stone and the Whispering Knights are just across the border in Warwickshire.

Gabriela Namie Kurata-Boranda Visual Identity
At Design Interviews
(Excerpt) Interview with Gabriela Namie Kurata : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Gabriela Namie Kurata : The main principle and inspiration for Boranda's visual identity is the trail as an element of connection between people and nature, a personal search, our own path. Trail line is the central piece that draws logo, illustrations and layout in this graphic system. We went several times to conservation units to get inspired by nature. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Gabriela Namie Kurata : The main focus in designing this work was to promote Brazilian Rainforest's conservation units in big cities, such as São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Conservation units are often very close to urban centres but sometimes forgotten as an entertainment option. In order to connect the urban audience with units it was key to speak in a visual language that combined a contemporary feeling but also brought nature's wildness and strength. So basically we wanted our graphic work to create a connection between people who are not used to going to the units and the Atlantic Rainforest. .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Gabriela Namie Kurata : We hope that Boranda movement draws attention to the Rainforest situation in Brazil and that society in big cities can enjoy a good day in the conservation units. The next step in the project is to create a visual identity for a trail that will cover the forest through four states and will be called Caminho da Mata Atlântica. It will have a visual connection with the identity of the movement and hopefully will raise tourism in the country and will raise awareness around the issue. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Gabriela Namie Kurata : Around four weeks with many interactions with WWF and Together teams. Along those weeks we were able to study audience and context, but also to visit some conservation units to get inspiration from the real source. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Gabriela Namie Kurata : We were commissioned by WWF Brazil to create this particular project. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. Gabriela Namie Kurata : Rollout materials of the identity will be produced by WWF Brazil. .Frank Scott: What made you design this particular type of work?. Gabriela Namie Kurata : Barca is a graphic design studio focused on visual identity, illustration and editorial projects. We have always worked on projects like this and look forward for more challenges and opportunities to develop interesting concepts with interesting people. .Frank Scott: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?. Gabriela Namie Kurata : Not for this particular project but we do have our main influences, such as Karel Martens, Stefan Kanchev, Charley Harper, Paul Rand and Michael Bierut. I guess we like bold shapes in good color combinations. .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. Gabriela Namie Kurata : Urban audience from São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro that are not used to visit conservation units. .Frank Scott: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?. Gabriela Namie Kurata : Visual identity for trails usually focus in an audience that is already used to visit them of course. Since it's a movement that aims to dialogue with that other part of society – those who are not used to visit conservation units – it was important to talk with different visual codes. I think it feels more urban and clean than the usual visual identities for trails and nature-related issues. .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. Gabriela Namie Kurata : The name Boranda is a contraction between the words "bora", which is an informal expression for "let's", and "walk". Together they sound like an indigenous word but also call audience to action. .Frank Scott: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?. Gabriela Namie Kurata : Illustration CC, Photoshop CC and stencil papers to test trail signage. .Frank Scott: What is the most unique aspect of your design?. Gabriela Namie Kurata : Probably the line that makes it possible to create the most diverse logos. .Frank Scott: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?. Gabriela Namie Kurata : Barca developed naming and visual identity. That means Gabriela Namie and Jun Ioneda developed visual identity and logo. Teo Garfunkel worked on naming. Together Agency developed studies around the main audience and the development of the movement. .Frank Scott: What is the role of technology in this particular design?. Gabriela Namie Kurata : We used Adobe's technology in the development of the identity but when creating signage for trail we had no other technology besides a simple stencil on rocks and trees, which is very unusual but created very interesting process and results. .Frank Scott: Is your design influenced by data or analytical research in any way?

Can anyone here help? I have been browsing the swatches of Deleuze that can be found on the internet. I find it difficult to understand from these what Deleuze is. This, for example, from 'How to make yourself a body without organs':
No longer are there acts to explain, dreams or phantasies to
interpret, childhood memories to recall, words to make signify; instead, there
are colors and sounds, becomings and intensities (and when you become-dog,
dont ask if the dog you are playing with is a dream or a reality, if it is "your
goddam mother" or something else entirely). There is no longer a Self [Moi]
that feels, acts, and recalls; there is "a glowing fog, a dark yellow mist" that
has affects and experiences movements, speeds.20 The important thing is not
to dismantle the tonal by destroying it all of a sudden. You have to diminish
it, shrink it, clean it, and that only at certain moments. You have to keep it in
order to survive, to ward off the assault of the nagual. For a nagual that
erupts, that destroys the tonal, a body without organs that shatters all the
strata, turns immediately into a body of nothingness, pure self-destruction
whose only outcome is death: "The tonal must be protected at any cost."z
Is Deleuze a witchdoctor? The question is genuine. If he is not, what is being proposed here?

- Allow for players to choose the colors of their Armies when they enter a game.
- When a player enters a game, they have to use whatever color, based on what position they enter. With this, they get to choose what color they will use during the game.
- For each slot in a game, there shall be a "Join Game" link, allowing you to pick whichever color you want.
- This can possibly be done ahead of time by having players put their color choices in order of preference.
- However, the order of colors will remain the same. So for quads, it will not be Ex. G+O+Y+C vs R+P+B+S.
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
- Give the option for players to possibly pick their favorite and/or lucky color
- Will vastly help color blind players.
- There's always been talk of "select your color" when joining a game
- This presents a fairer option, to reduce farming by joining directly after a lower rank, who are generally more likely to give games away
- Color order woulds stay the same (IE, no violet in a 1v1 game)
- Could also be modified to represent "favorite 2p colors", "favorite 3p colors", etc etc
- This does not work with team games, as it would screw up teams already joined. It's also easier to join team games as a preferred color at the moment.
- Probably should not work with polymorphic either, until an expansion comes out to allow more than two players.
- The same players are in the game, order is essentially "randomized", and you get to play as a preferred color most of the time.

Veteran investor says Obama's agenda will only exacerbate the problem
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Friday, December 19, 2008
Veteran investor Jim Rogers warns that the policies of central banks and politicians are turning what would have been a recession into a new great depression, and that Barack Obama's taxation agenda will only make the problem much worse.
Speaking to Bloomberg News, Rogers said that the crisis would at least be the worst since the second world war and that "it could well be" as bad as the great depression.
"1929 was the stock market bubble which popped, we were going into a recession and then the politicians around the world starting making horrendous mistakes which turned it into a depression, it would have been just a normal recession otherwise but the American politicians and the European politicians – everyone got in on the act and that seems to be happening this time too," said Rogers.
Rogers labeled it "unfathomable" what central banks were doing and totally at odds with the lessons of history, adding that President elect Barack Obama's intention to impose protectionism and taxation of capital would fuel a depression.
"If that happens, it's all over," warned Rogers, adding that the same thing will happen to the U.S. as happened to Britain between 1918 and 1939, which went from being the richest and most powerful country in the world to being a shambles. China would replace America as the great superpower in the 21st century, said Rogers.
Rogers explained that the only safe haven during such a period would be commodities and precious metals like gold, which always perform well during times of extreme upheaval. Rogers said he had bought a significant amount of gold at the start of its bull run in 2002 and that he hadn't sold any of it.
The veteran investor stated that shortages would translate into a strong comeback for oil, which slipped down to $36 dollars a barrel yesterday from a peak of over $145 dollars a barrel in July.

Hometown? Elkton, Maryland
Favorite Sociology Course? Transnational & Organized Crime - I love learning about all of the different groups and the stealthy and intelligent ways in which they commit crimes. It was what inspired me for my thesis topic.
Why I Majored in Sociology? I took Introduction to Sociology just for a filler class and fell in love with it. I love all aspects of it. It also was the reason I chose my minor: Justice, Law, & Society.
Sociology Thesis
Organized Crime & Social Networks
My research investigates the function of social networks in the context of organized crime in the U.S. I hypothesize that these criminals are increasingly working together through networks to both expand their activities and increase profits. Historical data are combined with data collected through interviews. Data support that organized crime groups have expanded a great deal, and much of this is due to the fact that they now work with one another.

Opinion Analysis: CAAF affirms in Coleman
On Thursday (sorry for the delayed reporting, but both Zack and I were out of town), CAAF affirmed an Article 120 conviction in United States v. Coleman, 72 M.J. 184, No. 13-0007/AR (C.A.A.F. May 9, 2013) (CAAFlog case page) (link to slip op.). Judge Stucky wrote for the majority. Chief Judge Baker concurred in the result. More on the disagreement between the chief judge and the rest of the court below.
The government violated its discovery obligations in the case, failing to let the defense know that the SJA had agreed to recommend that the CA reduce the setnence of Coleman's co-actor in exchange for his testimony against Coleman. The question that CAAF confronted was whether that error was harmless. Yes, held CAAF. Because the information was responsive to a specific defense discovery request, the harmless beyond a reasonable doubt test applies. All five judges agreed that the discovery violation was harmless even under that elevated standard.
The majority's decision was based, in part, on a prior consistent statement that the co-actor made before the SJA made his offer. That prior consistent statement, the majority reasoned, would have substantially undercut the impeachment value of the SJA's offer, since it was made before any resulting motive to fabricate arose.
Chief Judge Baker wrote separately, arguing that the majority shouldn't have considered the prior consistent statement. While the prior consistent statement was in the record as an appellate exhibit, it was never offered on the merits. He reasoned, "I would not rely on evidence that was not admitted, and potentially not admissible, in determining whether the failure to disclose was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt." He argued, "[I]t seems speculative, if not unfair, for this Court to now incorporate this prior statement into its harmless error analysis."
As often happens in CAAF opinions, the majority didn't engage with the separate opinion's reasoning. So I will. A harmless error determination for a discovery violation is necessarily counter-factual. The majority's approach of considering how the trial would have likely developed had the government complied with its discovery obligations strikes me as sound reasoning.

MyRecruitment Recruitment Software is the ultimate tool for recruitment agencies around the world. MyRecruitment is completely web-based and does not require downloads or installation and the starter version is free.
MyRecruitment complements Broadbean products so that together we offer the full range of online tools that a professional recruiter needs to take full advantage of the Internet - not only by treating the Internet as your 'database' for sourcing candidates (both active and passive) – but also attracting them to your own web site where MyRecruitment automatically filters and matches them to suitable roles, thereby enabling recruiters to focus on managing interviews and placements. Once candidates register through your own web site portal they are held in a Talentpool and automatically matched to all future jobs and notified accordingly, ensuring that you make the maximum number of placements even when handling hundreds of jobs and tens of thousands of CVs/Resumes.
MyRecruitment is not just a web site for attracting and processing all candidates from all sources into one database. It also offers the professional recruiter the tools needed in a front office system to track candidates through all phases of your recruitment process, and communicate with them and automatically keep track of all contacts by all members of your team. And not just when you are at your desk, but with synchronization to Outlook everything is available on your mobile device so that you can easily work away from the office.
MyRecruitment is delivered as software-as-a-service on Microsoft's cloud computing platform so that all the software you need is provided on a high-end Enterprise quality infrastructure only previously available to very large companies. It is fully integrated so that you no longer need to run multiple disconnected systems; your web site, email system and database all work from the same 'people' database which automatically links to external social media sites like LinkedIn so you have all external and internal sources of information about a person in one place and can be shared by all your team.
Key USPs
The main USP is in the title – the 'My' in MyRecruitment means that every customer can have a system that precisely suits their particular area of expertise and in any language of their choice. We can offer template solutions for start-ups and these can be easily modified at any time to adapt to your growing business.
MyRecruitment provides a complete integrated recruitment system that combines all the elements needed to make full use of all the Internet resources available so that you concentrate on making placements and not on advertising, searching multiple job boards individually, scrolling through endless Google results, reading every CV/Resume.
MyRecruitment delivers all of this to you in conjunction with all the resource and expertise Microsoft provides to its Cloud computing partners so you do not need IT resources and can benefit from all the latest tools at low cost and with minimal initial investment.

I did a fresh install of ubuntu 11.04, then I installed Windows 7. So I decided to fix the grub after win7 install using the ubuntu 11.04 Live CD.
instead of
$sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/media/uuid/ /dev/sda
I entered
$sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/uuid/ /dev/sda
Now when my system boots, it stops at the grub console
My problem is exactly as this one http://aaron-kelley.net/blog/2011/04/grub-prompt-after-upgrade-to-ubuntu-11-04/ but I have not been able to fix my problem. Thanx for your help.

Principal Proposed Uses
- Dyspepsia (non-specific indigestion)
- Intestinal Gas
Caraway has a long history of use as a "carminative," an herb said to relieve gas pain. Mentions of caraway for digestive problems can be found in Egyptian records, and the herb has been used in Europe for this purpose since at least the Middle Ages. The seeds, or their essential oil , are the part of the plant used medicinally
What is Caraway Used for Today?
Only double-blind , placebo-controlled studies can prove a treatment effective, and thus far such studies have not been performed on caraway alone. (For more information on why such studies are essential, see Why Does This Database Rely on Double-blind Studies? ) However, a few double-blind studies have been reported on combination products containing caraway oil for the treatment of dyspepsia (non-specific stomach distress).
For example, a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 39 people found that an enteric-coated peppermint oil and caraway oil combination taken three times daily by mouth for 4 weeks significantly reduced dyspepsia pain as compared to placebo. 1 Of the treatment group, 63.2% of participants were pain-free after 4 weeks, compared to 25% of the placebo group. In other double-blind, placebo-controlled studies, a combination of caraway, bitter candytuft, feverfew , peppermint leaves , licorice root , and lemon balm also proved effective for dyspepsia. 2,3
Double-blind comparative studies have also been reported. One such study of 118 people found that the combination of peppermint and caraway oil was about as effective as the standard drug cisapride (a drug used for dyspepsia that is no longer available). 4 After 4 weeks, the herbal combination reduced dyspepsia pain by 69.7%, whereas the conventional treatment reduced pain by 70.2%. Finally, a preparation of peppermint, caraway, fennel, and wormwood oil was compared to the drug metoclopramide in a double-blind study enrolling 60 people. 5 After 7 days, 43.3% of the treatment group was pain-free, compared to 13.3% of the metoclopramide group.
Far weaker evidence hints that caraway extracts may have anti-cancer , 6 antibacterial, 7,8 and antidiabetic9 actions. However, the evidence for these potential benefits is far too weak to rely on.
Caraway oil is said to be helpful for irritable bowel syndrome . Teas made from caraway are recommend for periodontal disease and canker sores . However, there is no meaningful supporting evidence for any of these uses.
Safety Issues
Caraway is generally regarded as safe when used in recommended doses. However, essential oils can be toxic to very young children, and excessive doses could be dangerous for adults as well. Maximum safe dosages in young children, pregnant or nursing women, or people with severe liver or kidney disease have not been established.

Families decorated the trunks of their cars and the students "trick-or-treated" from trunk to trunk. Awards were distributed at the end of the day for costumes and trunks. The event was held in the church parking lot on Fair Street. The Best overall trunk award went to the Franchetti Family for their Lego-land trunk pictured here.

text: We've seen some nice renders of the BlackBerry Javelin, but it's hard to get a sense of size from them. So, here's a shot of it in between the Curve (which it'll probably be replacing) and the 8800. While it's just about the same height as the Curve, it's definitely smaller and thinner—which means it's way tinier than the Bold too, since it's one of the larger devices has RIM put out in a while. With Wi-Fi and GPS, Javelin's looking like a solid follow up to the Curve. [Howard Forums via Crackberry]
