Burning for her When I hear this song, it makes me think of someone who has the hots for. That special, sweet regular girl who makes a house a home is never going to wait around for THAT, and often not even for a tame and mature touring musician. Pretty much I thought it was about a man being hot for a woman. The stories we have heard of with Led Zeppelin and The Who were the stories of very young men who were otherwise BORED and entertaining themselves. It's not really fun or glamorous, especially once reaching your 30s, which Buck would have been by the time he wrote this. Anyone who has traveled for their career knows what this feels like, but turn it up many notches of intensity with the trappings of being a touring rock star. A big trade off "living for giving the devil his due" and the home he will never have, which includes the regular things everyone needs. I mean Dont fear the reaper was written about Stephen King's The Stand- and that is Soldier what you describe would be the unspoken trade-off of the pact this song is about and the "between the lines" sub-narrative. and these guys seem to like to write songs about books.

Kerouac even wrote a fictional song that appears in the book at a couple points. Its about two guys during the late fifties who spent a lot of time bumming around the country getting into a lot of different shit, doing drugs, and lookin for love. I cant find any acknowledgment of this but The song was obviously written about the book "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac.

Snap the included adapter into place and you have added an unpowered accessory shoe, offset to the right of the lens, perfect for mounting your external microphone or on-camera light. Lift a port cover on the front bottom right of the camera and you’ll find both an external microphone jack and a headphone jack.Ībove and slightly behind these is another port cover hiding a rather interesting feature – an accessory shoe jack. The TM700 rises to the occasion here as well. One feature we like to see in a camera is a microphone jack so an external mic may be used. This makes for a very fast, efficient method of adjusting these settings as needed. Pressing the button again cycles through the four functions and turning the ring makes the desired adjustments. Pressing the Camera Function button located on the left side of the camera body just behind the multi manual ring also enables access to the manual settings. Crisp focus is achieved by turning the focus ring until the desired areas are displayed in blue. When manually focusing, a very welcome feature for those of us with aging eyesight is the focus assist. Once selected, the function can be adjusted by turning the multi manual ring at the front of the camera. You can then select the Focus, White Balance, Shutter, or Iris functions on the touch screen display. Pressing the iA/Manual button switches the camera from Intelligent Auto to manual mode. ![]() We’ve paid into the community by submitting our designs, and we get payment back in the form of excellent feedback and free access to other peoples work. Not only does it provide top-notch designs for all manner of objects, it can bring thousands of expert minds to bear on a problem, Pearce said. Thingiverse is a child of the free and open-source software movement, or FOSS. “We made a simple change, and now I have a lab jack that’s superior to our original design.” “Immediately someone I’d never met said, ‘This isn’t going to work quite right, you need to do this,’” Pearce said. Then they posted the OpenSCAD code they used to make the lab jack on Thingiverse, a web repository of designs where members of the “maker community” can submit their designs for all kinds of objects and receive feedback. Using a RepRap, inexpensive plastic filament and a few nuts and bolts, Pearce and his students made one for under a buck. Pearce received a quote for a thousand-dollar version, which inspired him to design his own. Lab jacks raise and lower optical equipment and aren’t radically different from the jacks that raise and lower your car, except that they are more precise. The Arduino controls the process, telling the printer to make anything from toy trains to a lab jack. This allows users to make devices to their own specifications, so they don’t have to make due with what’s available off the shelf. ![]() Michigan Technological UniversityģD printers make stuff by laying down sub-millimeter-thick layers of plastic one after another in a specific pattern.

Joshua Pearce with a Mendel RepRap 3D printer. Once you have one RepRap, you can make an entire flock. This microwave-sized contraption starts at about $500 and can actually make parts for itself. But it really shines when it operates 3D printers like the open-source RepRap. The Arduino-which retails for about $35 at RadioShack- can run any number of scientific instruments, among them a Geiger counter, an oscilloscope and a DNA sequencer. “It makes it so simple to automate processes.” “The beauty of this tool is that it’s very easy to learn,” said Pearce, an associate professor at Michigan Technological University. The open-source Arduino microcontroller is key. With these tools, researchers from all over the world are driving down the cost of doing science by making their own lab equipment. 13 issue of Science: software, 3D printers and microcontrollers.

The acting on show here is also a lot better than Cloverfield and the people all look normal, some are even unattractive. He is there to film a documentary and in true cameraman style his instincts take over. I believe the true quality of the film lies in its ability to cleverly use the history of the genre and the bare minimal of resources to its maximum potential and, unlike Cloverfield, there's little room to doubt the reasons for the cameraman to continue filming and this is (like Blair Witch) due to the fact it's his job. It is also evident from the plot and the methods employed that the film is very low budget, but this does not do it any harm, instead it complements the narrative and increases the films appeal. It's true that the plot is minimal and there are loose ends, but then the vast majority of horror films often suffer from these traits, and sometimes purposefully, but with REC it doesn't make the film any less enjoyable. It should be noted that clichés aren't always a bad thing and when put to good use can give the audience exactly what they came to see. The film is co-directed by Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza and they have clearly dipped into the bucket of clichés with REC, but in doing so they have created something that is both fresh and reinvigorating. Granted, if we are subjected to a recent flurry of films all using similar methods then yes, it deserves further scrutiny and what usually surfaces is that greedy studios are exploiting market trends. It seems strange to me that once a new technique is discovered or employed and put to use regularly, people and critics complain especially when it works. The method that has been employed in REC is, I believe, a method that is now firmly embedded in the medley of cinematic processes that a film-maker may chose to exert. Cloverfield and the forth coming Diary of The Dead). ![]() Despite REC being a better film than The Blair Witch Project some critics have attacked it for employing such a tired technique that has been used too much in recent films (i.e. It is the film that I wanted to see when I queued up in the rain, 10 years ago full of hype, anticipation and adolescent excitement. Although The Blair Witch Project was a ground breaking film, given its illustrious marketing campaign and widespread fooling of audiences, if the two are to be judged purely on their viewing merits then REC is by far the superior if anything REC is the film that the Blair Witch should have been. Comparatively REC is also a horror, low budget, sticks to a female lead and has an ending that is very similar. Undoubtedly and unsurprisingly REC will be measured by the film The Blair Witch Project, especially given its plot and the manner in which the film plays out. As the film progresses the crew are lucky enough to accompany the fireman on a call out to a local apartment building. In brief, REC is a horror film that begins with the crew of a TV show, called While You Sleep, making a documentary about firemen. It is a technique in which the person behind the camera is a character that is integral to the plot, narrative and story of the film. REC is a film that utilises the POV (Point of View) camera technique for the entirety of its duration. This movie will keep you at the edge of the seats. But seeing past Hollywood's greed, "Rec" is a really good movie that anyone with a taste for horror (and zombie movies, despite these here not being typical zombies) should watch. Usually Hollywood remakes of non-American movies is crap and an insult to the original versions. The bad thing about "Rec" is that Hollywood decided to tap into the success of the Spanish movie and Americanize it. This is one of the better horror/thriller movies in a while, and it have a fresh sense of dread to it, which helps spices up the genre. Everyone portrayed their roles well and made the characters stand out as believable and real people. It all came together for a good sense of claustrophobia and hopelessness. It was so dark and brooding, that it totally made the screen come alive with sense of dread and enclosing doom. The scenery and sets brought life to the movie. ![]() The infected were great, good make-up and effects, and brought a lot of excitement to the movie. It is like you are there yourself, being a part of that horrible experience of being boxed inside a relatively small area and being stalked by crazed infected people. The way the movie is shot with the camera is amazing. Wow! This movie is the sort of movie that picks you up by the neck and drops you right in the middle of the excitement - literally. ![]() If you prepay your mortgage, your money is tied up in home equity, meaning you will have less access to cash for major life expenses and unforeseen emergencies. Do the math to see if prepaying your mortgage offers the best payoff. If you bought a home when interest rates were 4% or lower, saving on interest is unlikely to provide as much of a return on your money as you could get through investments. If you have high-interest credit card debt, personal loans or auto loans, it’s generally a wiser move to apply extra payments to those expenses first. Mortgage payments often carry lower interest rates than other types of debt. Your mortgage balance may not accurately reflect the amount you owe-there may be additional fees and penalties. Should I Pay Off My Mortgage Early?īefore you make the decision to pay off your mortgage early, check with your loan servicer to confirm the remainder of your payout. Even if you have the funds available to make additional payments, whether or not doing so makes sense warrants some assessment. If you’re thinking about getting a mortgage and plan to pay it off early in some way, you may want to ask your lender about an open-end loan.Īlso, not all borrowers are in the same financial situation. For instance, closed-end loans-which make up most standard mortgages-can restrict prepayments entirely or require borrowers to pay a heavy penalty if they pay off or refinance their loan within a certain number of years (typically three to five). However, some types of mortgages come with prepayment penalties. After all, not having that recurring monthly payment while also getting to own your home free and clear can be a liberating feeling. Many people with the resources may think paying off their mortgage early makes sense.
The space should be quiet and peaceful, somewhere that you could happily meditate and take time out to fully appreciate the miniature scene and immerse yourself in nature, awakening your senses.Ī neutral wall at the back and possibly the sides will help to frame the scene and allow the rocks to be more easily appreciated, isolated against the plain backdrop. Simplicity is the key with Zen gardens and it is important to hold back, so as to keep the landscape uncluttered and minimalistic. When raking lines in the gravel, take care to work backwards so as not to leave any footsteps behind. Most Japanese rock gardens feature gravel raked in circles around the rocks, to suggest a wave pattern or ridges, with the rest of the gravel being raked in contrasting neat straight lines or occasionally an abstract chequerboard pattern. There are many different ways to rake your gravel, with special bamboo rakes being used to create these distinctive patterns. Sand may also be used, but is more likely to lose its raking pattern on rainy and windy days. Gravel is most commonly placed around the base of the rocks in Zen gardens, being contained by a boundary of wood, paving or bamboo. Alternatively, rather than using rocks, you can instead used man-made granite pillars, spheres or squares, to create a more contemporary appearance, while fossilised tree stumps offer a convincing texture. If a stone has a streak of white showing on its surface, this can be used to represent a waterfall. Be sure to make your Zen garden arrangement harmonious, with similar coloured rocks where any visible markings do not dominate the scene. Imposing tall, vertical rocks suggest height and drama, especially when contrasted with shorter, flatter stones. ![]() Zen gardens often have two or more groupings of rocks, with one prominent 'island' and a smaller, more distant gathering.Įach rock will have a best viewing angle, so take time to choose a 'front' for the stones. Also, if you are intending to group your stones, it is sensible to either arrange them in pairs, as a three, and above that, in odd numbers.Ī group of four or six rocks can look very staged and unnatural. It is best not to place the rocks in straight lines, as this can look very artificial and visually unbalanced. This is not always an easy task, especially when large and extremely heavy stones are chosen for the grouping. Today, they have evolved into an integral part of Japanese garden design, with careful attention being given to selecting only the most perfect of rocks, and arranging them in the very best way possible. ![]() The history of Zen gardens starts in the 14th century, at the Buddhist temples of Kyoto in Japan. You may also see some pruned maples, pines and other bonsai-like trees, as well as evergreen shrubs clipped as ball shapes, with flowering satsuki azaleas (rhododendron indicum varieties) being a popular choice for this particular treatment. Zen Gardens, Raked Gravel and Rocks Japanese Garden DesignĬommonly called a Zen garden, a Japanese rock garden is designed to suggest a miniature landscape, complete with mountains and rippling water, represented by carefully placed rocks and artistically raked gravel.Ī dry Zen landscape may also compose a number of other important features, such as moss at the base of the rocks to symbolise land or and island. ![]() Due to the nature of these formats, there may be some textures that have to be loaded by hand and possibly triangulated geometry.Īlso check out my other models, just click on my user name to see complete gallery. fbx) may not match the preview images exactly.

GUNNAR's patented lens technology provides a product specifically designed for the job that not only blocks blue light, but reduces glare. Their product is targeted to gamers, and anyone who spends significant time in front of digital screens. GUNNAR makes blue light blocking eyewear specifically designed to protect your eyes from the blue light emitted by your digital devices. While it may help in a general way, it cannot provide the targeted protection needed to keep your eyes safe. They do protect somewhat, but using safety glasses to protect from digital eye strain or sleep issues is like using broad-spectrum antibiotics to treat a condition with a known source and a known targeted cure. Given their broad purported use, however, they do not work especially well at protecting eyes from digital screens. Like Flux, yellow safety glasses work fairly well. To this end, hunters use them to brighten their field of vision without otherwise impairing them. Furthermore, proponents of safety glasses claim that regular yellow safety glasses also provide protection outside. Their professed use goes across the spectrum, from regular indoor lights like florescent tubes, to computer monitors. Safety glasses come in various colors, but the yellow ones are meant to protect your eyes from blue light. The logic goes, if you want to filter blue light, use a color on the opposite side of the color spectrum. In principle, yellow safety glasses take the same approach as Flux. Most people aren't willing to deal with that much of a color-shift, not even at night, and especially not all day long. The color goes from normal to an orange hue. Furthermore, the color of the screen changes substantially with the use of such applications. You can reduce it somewhat, but you can't change the light source by adjusting the color. No matter how much you change the color of the screen, the LED light sources for digital screens emit blue light. The truth is, such reduction can only go so far. By adjusting the color of the screen, of course the amount of a given light color will be somewhat reduced. Does it Work?įlux, and other software or features like it, work somewhat. When blue light hits your eyes after sundown your body can be tricked into believing it's still daytime. The idea being that when the sun sets you want less blue light so your body's clock can naturally wind down. Flux seeks to combat the blue light by adjusting the color of light the screen emits automatically at sundown. Much of the blue light we deal with comes from our computers. Today we run down each of these three possibilities and compare and contrast.įlux (technically called "f.lux") is downloadable software that changes the color palate of your computer screen. The way we see it, there are essentially three viable solutions to the problem of blue light: Software (ex: Flux), Safety Glasses, or Blue Light Glasses. The difficulty is not finding something that claims to protect you, the difficulty is finding the product that protects you best. ![]() Many products exist solely to protect your eyes from blue light. Now what? Business has, fortunately, kept up with the science in this case. For practical reasons, let's accept the scientific conclusions thus far reached. Given the various credible, peer-reviewed studies on the subject, the scientific community has essentially reached a consensus. Every day the negative effect of blue light's on your eyes gains additional scientific confirmation. Long footnotes are inevitably a distraction: tedious to read and wearying to look at. If they are short and infrequent, they can be made economical of space, easy to find when wanted and, when not wanted, easy to ignore. ![]() ![]() But none of these are served well online by endnotes: citation metadata is better provided as hyperlinks to fulltext, definitions ( )/ abbreviations ( ) have native HTML support as tooltips/popups-leaving only the extended discussions use-case.īringhurst comments on the pros/cons ( The Elements of Typographic Style, 2004):įootnotes are the very emblem of fussiness, but they have their uses. Why do we use endnotes? For the most part, we use them for citation metadata, abbreviations/definitions, and more extended discussions (often humorous). The situation is even worse on the Internet, because while footnotes in a book aren’t too bad (as long as they stay on the same page), web pages don’t really have ‘pages’ and ‘footnotes’ wind up degrading to simply endnotes. As a result, who ever reads endnotes in a physical book? Only the most diligent will keep a thumb in the back to actually look up endnotes, and so they are either unread or tend to be relegated to the most utilitarian uses like raw citations. This river of text may be studded with the occasional footnote or endnote, including ancillary material like citations or digressions or extended discussion of tricky points or anticipation of objections or just the author being witty, which require constant back and forth from the place in the text where they make sense and where they can actually be read. Where footnotes put additional material in small sections at the bottom of the page, organized by number, and endnotes stuff them at the end of the document, sidenotes instead use the large unused left/right margin of the page.īecause it’s uncomfortable to read sentences which wrap from edge to edge, particularly for large widths, requiring short lines many documents wind up looking like a narrow river of text flowing down a vast blank map. Sidenotes and margin notes (sometimes also called “asides”) are an alternative to footnotes / endnotes in design. For heavy footnote users or users who want a drop-in, runtime Javascript-based solutions like sidenotes.js may be more useful. I review some of the available implementations.įor general users, I recommend Tufte-CSS: it is fast & simple (using only compile-time generation of sidenotes, rendered by static HTML/CSS), popular, and easy to integrate into most website workflows. Tufte-CSS has popularized the idea and since then, there has been a proliferation of slightly variant approaches. However, they are not commonly used, perhaps because web browsers until relatively recently made it hard to implement sidenotes easily & reliably. ![]() (Footnote variants, like “floating footnotes” which pop up on mouse hover, reduce the reader’s effort but don’t eliminate it.) They are particularly useful for web pages, where ‘footnotes’ are de facto endnotes, and clicking back and forth to endnotes is a pain for readers. Sidenotes/margin notes are a typographic convention which improves on footnotes & endnotes by instead putting the notes in the page margin to let the reader instantly read them without needing to refer back and forth to the end of the document (endnotes) or successive pages (footnotes spilling over). |
