Watermelon Man by Herbie Hancock.performed by Mongo Santamaria...[The phrase Spanish Tinge] is a reference to the belief that a Latin American touch offers a reliable method of spicing the more conventional 4/4 rhythms commonly used in jazz and pop music. The phrase is a quotation from Jelly Roll Morton. In his Library of Congress recordings, after referencing the influence of his own French Creole culture in his music, he noted the Spanish presence: Then we had Spanish people there. I heard a lot of Spanish tunes. I tried to play them in correct [tempo], but I personally didn't believe they were perfected in the tempos. Now take "La Paloma", which I transformed in New Orleans style. You leave the left hand just the same. The difference comes in the right hand -- in the syncopation, which gives it an entirely different color that really changes the color from red to blue. Now in one of my earliest tunes, "New Orleans Blues", you can notice the Spanish tinge. In fact, if you can't manage to put tinges of Spanish in your tunes, you will never be able to get the right seasoning, I call it, for jazz. Specifically, Morton categorized his compositions in three groups as blues, stomps, and [Spanish Tinge], for those with habanera rhythms. the state of music and the city states :lol: rites behind the plow :twisted:

HOW

"I'm going to have all the negotiations around a big table. We'll have the negotiations televised on C-SPAN, so that people can see who is making arguments on behalf of their constituents and who are making arguments on behalf of the drug companies or the insurance companies." â€” Barack Obama, August, 2008

PS to 54.10.1.3: I am not under the illusion that video effects is what garners viewers. My primary goal is to get better at communicating — I want to make my lessons in such a manner that they make sense to the guy on the street — whether he agrees with the lesson or not he should be able to understand what I am saying. So far in my life, I never wanted to be a teacher and never wanted to explain anything to anybody — I just had a goal and learned what I needed for it and used what I learned for it; now I think I have something worth saying, and would like to communicate that well.

I have been researching for some custom effects I would like to implement. Very much to my surprise, it is possible to do non-trivial effects in Windows Movie Maker — but the catch is that one must write XML. Here’s what one has to do to get picture-in-picture (like how HotForWords does for video-requests): http://www.windowsmoviemakers.net/PapaJohn/Picture-in-Picture_Tutorial.aspx Here’s the docs: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms867186.aspx

Never actually seen Final Cut, but I guess it offers a mouse-based-point-and-click interface. And I suspect the learning curve for XML will be much steeper than that for mouse-based-point-and-click interface.

I am still researching since the effect I want is not picture in picture. The effect I need for a raw footage of a speaker is that of one or more objects moving toward the speaker in certain trajectories and having certain impacts with the speaker.

There is a possibility that I might be able to get access to Final Cut Pro for at least 3 hours every week! Yeah!

So I will be able to compare the XML and point-and-click techniques not just for the learning curve but for repeated use after one has learned each technique.

You want examples of gobbledegook? How about 100?

Back in 2007 (and reincarnated earlier this year), the UK’s LGA (Local Government Association) published a list of 100 words it claims councils should avoid when communicating with the public:

http://new.lga.gov.uk/lga/core/page.do?pageId=41517

“Why do we have to have ‘coterminous, stakeholder engagement’ when we could just ‘talk to people’ instead?”

However, the list isn’t without it’s controversy. Although examples such as in that last paragraph are obvious, could “client”, “customer” and “service user” really all be replaced with “people”?

A Vogue cover girl has confronted – and forgiven – the anonymous blogger who trashed her as a ["skank"] and a “ho” on a special Web site.
