Tad carpenter drummer8/17/2023 ![]() With the A&M Records local promotion team running at full throttle and plenty of rumours about nudity, bondage and drugs the very staid Toronto community was on guard. When the San Francisco/Phoenix band first rolled in to Massey Hall in the fall of 1975 no one knew what to expect but we knew it was going to be memorable. At least we had whole sides to listen to as opposed to the single songs we listen to today. Looking back it is interesting that so many of my favourite records had favourite sides as I was either too lazy to flip it over or may have only had time to listen to one side in a sitting, Portable music was a transistor radio and your sure didn’t hear bands like Television on radio. Side two is better than most of the stuff that came out during that era with “Elevation” and “Prove It” being two of the best songs in the bands library but it is the first four songs on the A-side that make this album a classic. According to legend the song was produced in one take, There is a huge jam in the middle of the song but it is so sparse it breathes as it builds to the finish. Two guitars duel over a punchy bass and rolling drums while Verlaine does his best Patti Smith style vocals. “Friction” is probably the closest thing to punk on the album “I get your point you’re so sharp” and picks up the pace before the ten minute masterpiece that is the title track. That song contains the classic lyric “I fell right in to the arms of Venus de Milo”. On the next song “Venus” the vocals are even more distracted as he seems to be carrying on a conversation that we are not a part of. On top of that Tom Verlaine’s vocals were just so “I could care less” New York affected. Richard Lloyd and Tom Verlaine weaved guitar licks around each other like cigarette smoke crossing a spotlight while Fred Smith spat out a bass line that seemed to work both independently and totally in synch with Billy Ficca’s drumming. This was not punk, not glam, not like anything else out there. I decided to give the band a second chance and as soon the needle dropped on my glorious green copy of the album and “See No Evil” came pulsing out of the Lloyds stereo it was pretty evident that the group had elevated their game. Now down to a four piece, and signed to Elektra, Television released “Marquee Moon” in 1977. It is also the title of great 1976 hour long movie of the scene at CBGB’s directed by Ivan Krall. Its sound and sense of fashion launched a thousand safety pins across the pond. In 1977 he formed a new band and released the seminal “Blank Generation” under the banner of Richard Hell And The Voidoids. Richard Hell split from the band in 1975 and formed The Heartbreakers with Johnny Thunders and Jerry Nolan from the New York Dolls and that was a bit more up my alley. ![]() When I finally heard a cassette of the song I really couldn’t understand what all the fuss was about, very minimal and no balls as far as my 16 year old years could tell. It came out on the tiny Ork Label and was impossible to find in Toronto. When they released their first single “Little Johnny Jewel” in 1975 they were still a five piece band with Tom Verlaine, Richard Lloyd, Fred Smith, Billy Ficca and Richard Hell. Rock Scene was half fanzine and half magazine and the likes of writer Lisa Robinson and photographer Bob Gruen covered the New York underground and gave ink to bands like The New York Dolls, Television, The Ramones and Talking Heads before they ventured past north of Houston Street. I started reading about the band in the mid-seventies in Rock Scene Magazine. There are very few albums that come out of New York in the seventies that can hold a candle to Television’s “Marquee Moon” and I could argue that they A-side of the original record is the strongest side on vinyl to ever come out of the seventies scene. ![]() And now back to our regularly scheduled column.

Disney pixar inside out movie8/17/2023 ![]() ![]() Joy attempts to dispose of the new memory, but her struggle with Sadness leads to all the core memories being knocked out from their container. ![]() But Sadness ventures outside the circle and creates a new core memory after making Riley cry in front of her new classmates. On Riley's first day at her new school, Joy attempts to keep Sadness from touching anything by having her stand completely still inside a circle of chalk. Aware that memories cannot be changed back once turned sad, Joy keeps Sadness occupied by having her memorize a stack of "mind manuals" all through the day and into the night. And Sadness messes things up further when she turns a happy memory into a sad one by touching it and causes a core memory to fall out of the container it is housed in. Joy tries to make the move a pleasant experience for Riley and the other emotions, but several events leading up to the move make the other emotions think otherwise. When Riley is eleven, her family moves to San Francisco after her father gets a new job. As a result, she is constantly ignored and kept from using the Headquarters controls, mainly by Joy, who prefers to keep Riley happy as much as possible. No-one understands the purpose of Sadness, as all she seemingly does is make Riley feel bad. The most important memories, which are known as " Core Memories", power five " Islands of Personality" that each reflect a different aspect of Riley's personality: Family Island, Friendship Island, Hockey Island, Honesty Island, and Goofball Island.Įach emotion also has a defined purpose in Riley's life: Joy makes sure she is happy, Fear keeps her safe, Anger keeps her life fair and Disgust prevents her from being poisoned, both physically and socially. The emotions are charged with reacting to Riley's circumstances and forming her memories, which are housed in spheres that produce a certain color depending on the emotion of the memory. In her mind, which is commonly referred to as " Headquarters", five personified emotions are created over time: Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust and Anger, each one being introduced in this specific order. When Joy and Sadness are accidentally kicked out of headquarters, they go on a wild journey to get back.Ī young girl named Riley is born in Minnesota. The five emotions live in headquarters and control how Riley feels. The story of Inside Out centers on an 11-year-old girl named Riley moving to San Francisco and her five emotions, Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust and Anger, trying to help her cope with her new life. Disney/Pixar officially announced the title on Twitter on April 17, 2013 during Cinema Con. On February 8, 2013, reported that the film's title would be Inside Out.

Grit book8/16/2023 ![]() Put simply, grittier kids went further in competition. Duckworth reports on her research on competitive spellers, “Measurements of grit taken months before the final competition predicted how well spellers would eventually perform. It isn’t just in the discipline of mathematics that grit matters. Duckworth also warns about the danger of overemphasizing talent because it can easily lead to a fixed mindset, the kind of mindset that says “I’m not a math person so I can’t learn this” rather than allowing a growth mindset that says “I don’t know how to do this yet, but I can learn!” (You can read more about the difference between these two mindsets by reading this article.) At the very same time, effort makes skill productive.” Duckworth says talent can be a helpful boost at the beginning of the learning process, but she also notes that the best way to develop any skill is to focus on practicing at the edges of current ability, and that means embracing failure. Duckworth says that initially she too had been “distracted by talent” but she slowly learned that “aptitude did not guarantee achievement.” She further writes that “during the next several years of teaching, I grew less and less convinced that talent was destiny and more and more intrigued by the returns generated by effort.”ĭuckworth is quick to stress that “talent – how fast we improve in skill – absolutely matters.” But she also points out that “effort factors into the calculations twice, not once. ![]() But the more Duckworth paid attention to both her teaching and the research she was conducting, the more she realized that talent isn’t a good guide and that instead it was an attitude of grit and a willingness to grow that predicted student success. Duckworth observes that “conventional wisdom says that math is a subject in which the more talented students are expected to excel, leaving classmates who are simply ‘not math people’ behind.” While we tend to think of riding a bike as something anyone can learn with dedication, effort, and time, we are also used to thinking that math comes naturally to those who are good at it, and that if it doesn’t come naturally, it cannot be learned. What I needed to do differently.” Duckworth reports that “by senior year, David was taking the harder of Lowell’s two honors calculus courses.”ĭavid’s story might seem rather surprising. I basically tried to figure out, you know, what I did wrong. ![]() So I went to my teacher and asked for help. I knew I had to focus on what to do next. He said: “I did feel bad – I did – but I didn’t dwell on it. In her interview with David, she asked him how he dealt with that disappointing result. She recounts how while taking a freshman high school algebra course, David’s first math test came back with a D. In her groundbreaking book Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance, Angela Duckworth – a psychology professor and 2013 MacArthur Fellow – introduces us to David. Burn book names8/16/2023 Strong Characterizationīecause there is this ever-building connection and tension between characters, I find that slow burn romance books have some of the best characterizations.Īn author really dives into each character’s emotions and motivations to understand why they may be fighting a love connection, or why they may be slow to recognize one. This can give some slow burn romance books a sense of unrequited love within their storyline which I love. Other times one character can be pining for another who is slower to see the connection between them. ![]() Most times the love connection between the hero and heroine in slow burn romance books creeps up gradually on both of them. While the chemistry between characters may not be apparent to the hero and heroine initially, it can just ooze off the page to the reader.Īs a reader, you get so invested in these main characters that you can’t put the book down until you reach that moment where the build-up finally crests over.Īt the same time, you also don’t want to get to that point either because then that build-up is over. Part of the romantic build-up of slow burn romance books is the growing tension and building attraction between characters that I love so much. This could easily be a fake relationship, an office romance, or even a neighbors-to-lovers situation. To develop these meaningful moments, there’s often something keeping the main characters in close contact with one another for their feelings to develop. These moments don’t have to be anything significant (and often aren’t!) but it’s their meaning and significance that makes them such a vital part of the story to build the slow burn feeling. In order to successfully build this growing attraction, slow burn romance books often have distinct meaningful moments that set the stage for the character’s connection. As a reader, this makes their feelings more believable to me as well. ![]() We aren’t talking instalust or instalove but instead this steady, growing attraction that just builds and builds around a beautiful storyline.īecause of the slow build-up, the main characters are given time to develop a foundation of trust and familiarity with one another. When it comes to reading slow burn romance books, it’s all about the romantic build-up. Most have each of these elements in their stories. There are several characteristics about slow burn romance books that make them so enjoyable to read. Characteristics of Slow Burn Romance Books ![]() Whenever I connect with another romance book lover, sure enough we start to gush over the best slow burn romance books that we’ve read.īecause there’s just something about the emotions and building attraction that makes slow burn romance books all the more satisfying for someone who already adores happy endings. Best corn broom8/16/2023 It is harvested before the flower matures into seed. The seed tassel from the top of the 10 -12 foot tall plant is the fibre used in corn brooms. ![]() Unprocessed broomcorn has the stem left intact, and is tightly woven onto the broom handle to add to our distinctive look.īroomcorn is a variety of the species Sorghum Vulgare, an annual grass resembling Indian corn. Its natural green colour will turn golden with time. Raw broomcorn is left natural, with no dyes to compromise the inherent strength and durability of the fibre. As our cut brush varies from Iong and soft (for finely finished floors), short and stiff (concrete, etc.) and many lengths in between, one can select a broom according to the intended use.Ī North Woven Broom will last many times longer than an 'ordinary' corn broom, because our brooms are made with only the best quality raw, unprocessed broomcorn. It is fanned out to cover more area than a round, trimmed broom and is a natural partner to a dustpan. The Shaker flat broom is the most modern style, being introduced by the Shakers in the eastern U.S., around 1800. The traditional round, trimmed style is an old-time answer to more specific sweeping trim the ends off and reach into the cracks and crannies! These brooms are able to stand freely on their cut ends, which is very handy for grasping when needed. Round, untrimmed brooms are still commonly used in many countries today. As the ends are soft and nonabrasive, this style is useful for smooth, hardwood floors and decks, and is fun to use. Sweeping was done using the side of the brush a technique that enabled one to sweep a large area very quickly. The traditional round, untrimmed broom was the common domestic broom style before 1800.
