I celebrate myself, and sing myself. And what I assume you shall assume. For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. I loafe and invite my soul. I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass. My tongue, every atom of my blood, form'd from this soil, this air. Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their. I, now thirty- seven years old in perfect health begin. Hoping to cease not till death. Creeds and schools in abeyance. Retiring back a while sufficed at what they are, but never forgotten. I harbor for good or bad, I permit to speak at every hazard. Nature without check with original energy. Houses and rooms are full of perfumes, the shelves are crowded with. I breathe the fragrance myself and know it and like it. The distillation would intoxicate me also, but I shall not let it. The atmosphere is not a perfume, it has no taste of the. It is for my mouth forever, I am in love with it. I will go to the bank by the wood and become undisguised and naked. I am mad for it to be in contact with me. The smoke of my own breath. ![]() Echoes, ripples, buzz'd whispers, love- root, silk- thread, crotch and vine. My respiration and inspiration, the beating of my heart, the passing. The sniff of green leaves and dry leaves, and of the shore and. The sound of the belch'd words of my voice loos'd to the eddies of. A few light kisses, a few embraces, a reaching around of arms. The play of shine and shade on the trees as the supple boughs wag. The delight alone or in the rush of the streets, or along the fields. The feeling of health, the full- noon trill, the song of me rising. Have you reckon'd a thousand acres much? Have you practis'd so long to learn to read? Have you felt so proud to get at the meaning of poems? Stop this day and night with me and you shall possess the origin of. You shall possess the good of the earth and sun, (there are millions. You shall no longer take things at second or third hand, nor look through. You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me. You shall listen to all sides and filter them from your self. I have heard what the talkers were talking, the talk of the.But I do not talk of the beginning or the end.There was never any more inception than there is now.Nor any more youth or age than there is now. Crack For Need For Speed The Run Reloaded Ammunition . And will never be any more perfection than there is now.Nor any more heaven or hell than there is now. . Urge and urge and urge.Always the procreant urge of the world.Out of the dimness opposite equals advance, always substance and. Always a knit of identity, always distinction, always a breed of life. To elaborate is no avail, learn'd and unlearn'd feel that it is so. Sure as the most certain sure, plumb in the uprights, well. Stout as a horse, affectionate, haughty, electrical. I and this mystery here we stand. Clear and sweet is my soul, and clear and sweet is all that is not my soul. Lack one lacks both, and the unseen is proved by the seen. Till that becomes unseen and receives proof in its turn. Showing the best and dividing it from the worst age vexes age. Knowing the perfect fitness and equanimity of things, while they. I am silent, and go bathe and admire myself. Welcome is every organ and attribute of me, and of any man hearty and clean. Not an inch nor a particle of an inch is vile, and none shall be. I am satisfied- -I see, dance, laugh, sing. As the hugging and loving bed- fellow sleeps at my side through the night. Leaving me baskets cover'd with white towels swelling the house with. Shall I postpone my acceptation and realization and scream at my eyes. That they turn from gazing after and down the road. And forthwith cipher and show me to a cent. Exactly the value of one and exactly the value of two, and which is ahead? Trippers and askers surround me. People I meet, the effect upon me of my early life or the ward and. I live in, or the nation. The latest dates, discoveries, inventions, societies, authors old and new. My dinner, dress, associates, looks, compliments, dues. The real or fancied indifference of some man or woman I love. The sickness of one of my folks or of myself, or ill- doing or loss. Battles, the horrors of fratricidal war, the fever of doubtful news. These come to me days and nights and go from me again. But they are not the Me myself. Apart from the pulling and hauling stands what I am. Stands amused, complacent, compassionating, idle, unitary. Looks down, is erect, or bends an arm on an impalpable certain rest. Looking with side- curved head curious what will come next. Both in and out of the game and watching and wondering at it. Backward I see in my own days where I sweated through fog with. I have no mockings or arguments, I witness and wait. I believe in you my soul, the other I am must not abase itself to you. And you must not be abased to the other. Loafe with me on the grass, loose the stop from your throat. Not words, not music or rhyme I want, not custom or lecture, not. Only the lull I like, the hum of your valved voice. I mind how once we lay such a transparent summer morning. How you settled your head athwart my hips and gently turn'd over upon me. And parted the shirt from my bosom- bone, and plunged your tongue. And reach'd till you felt my beard, and reach'd till you held my feet. Swiftly arose and spread around me the peace and knowledge that pass. And I know that the hand of God is the promise of my own. And I know that the spirit of God is the brother of my own. And that all the men ever born are also my brothers, and the women. And that a kelson of the creation is love. And limitless are leaves stiff or drooping in the fields. And brown ants in the little wells beneath them. And mossy scabs of the worm fence, heap'd stones, elder, mullein and. A child said What is the grass? How could I answer the child? I do not know what it is any more than he. I guess it must be the flag of my disposition, out of hopeful green. Or I guess it is the handkerchief of the Lord. A scented gift and remembrancer designedly dropt. Bearing the owner's name someway in the corners, that we may see. Whose? Or I guess the grass is itself a child, the produced babe of the vegetation. Or I guess it is a uniform hieroglyphic. And it means, Sprouting alike in broad zones and narrow zones. Growing among black folks as among white. Kanuck, Tuckahoe, Congressman, Cuff, I give them the same, I. And now it seems to me the beautiful uncut hair of graves. Tenderly will I use you curling grass. It may be you transpire from the breasts of young men. It may be if I had known them I would have loved them. It may be you are from old people, or from offspring taken soon out. And here you are the mothers' laps. This grass is very dark to be from the white heads of old mothers. Darker than the colorless beards of old men. Dark to come from under the faint red roofs of mouths. O I perceive after all so many uttering tongues. And I perceive they do not come from the roofs of mouths for nothing. I wish I could translate the hints about the dead young men and women. And the hints about old men and mothers, and the offspring taken. What do you think has become of the young and old men? And what do you think has become of the women and children? They are alive and well somewhere. The smallest sprout shows there is really no death. And if ever there was it led forward life, and does not wait at the. And ceas'd the moment life appear'd. All goes onward and outward, nothing collapses. And to die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier.Has any one supposed it lucky to be born?I hasten to inform him or her it is just as lucky to die, and I know it. . I pass death with the dying and birth with the new- wash'd babe, and.And peruse manifold objects, no two alike and every one good. The earth good and the stars good, and their adjuncts all good. I am not an earth nor an adjunct of an earth. I am the mate and companion of people, all just as immortal and. They do not know how immortal, but I know.). Every kind for itself and its own, for me mine male and female. For me those that have been boys and that love women. For me the man that is proud and feels how it stings to be slighted. For me the sweet- heart and the old maid, for me mothers and the. For me lips that have smiled, eyes that have shed tears. For me children and the begetters of children. Undrape! you are not guilty to me, nor stale nor discarded. I see through the broadcloth and gingham whether or no. And am around, tenacious, acquisitive, tireless, and cannot be shaken away.

The interface is perfectly intuitive and the Timeline view enables you to see EXACTLY where to integrate JPEGs, music and videos. I have used Movie Maker XP to create videos as short as one minute to as long as 2 hours and had no freezing or crashing, AS LONG AS I imported JPEGs for graphics,WMVs for videos and WMAs for audio. I especially love that a single JPEG will consume several seconds on the time and can be copy/pasted within the timeline and that both JPEGs and WMA audio files can be also be trimmed for length or to remove unwanted glitches in the original sound recording. While these features all without a doubt the most valuable for most users, my personal favorite is the ability to overlap images in the timeline, producing dissolves between JPEGs limited only by the length of the shorter duration of the two JPEGs being cross- faded. Cons. A minor shortcoming is the lack of a separate audio effects track, which would enable me to playback both sound effects (such as waves crashing) and music or narration at the same time. Another minor shortcoming is the need to use WMA for all imported video to prevent Movie Maker from crashing.I consider both of these minor, because I can easily buy audio mixing software for what I would pay for any other video editing software I have tried and I can get any number of superb video and audio file format converters free from CNET downloads.Movie Maker XP also will not produce an HDTV video; which is probably just as well, since I so frequently use low resolution graphics and video downloaded from the Internet.Summary. I frequently use a cross fade from an image into black, producing an effect that makes it appear that the image is crumbling into dust.I have seen this effect used only once in a live action motion picture ("Seconds," a 1.Rock Hudson" and it really is a sight to behold. Delphi Xe5 Android Usb Driver . I have found no other video editing software that is so flexible for titling, transitions and special effects AT ANY PRICE. I recently upgraded my computer to Windows 7 (don't ask), but the Movie Maker for Windows 7 no longer has these capabilities and I find it a pain to use, as well. I love Movie Maker XP SO MUCH, I am having my copy of Windows XP re- installed on my second hard drive just so I can continue to use Movie Maker XP. By the way, in addition to other limitations of Movie Maker for Windows 7, it must be downloaded, as it is no longer included in the Windows operating system. Even worse, Movie Maker for Windows 7 will NOT open a project created in Windows XP. ![]() Reply to this review. Read reply (1)Was this review helpful?(0) (0) Reply by Private Angel on December 2. XP, and it's free. Pros. Simple interface, easy to learn, good starting point for someone who's never edited a video before. Cons. Freezes, hangs and glitches at every turn; not enough user control over audio. Summary. The first time I used the software, it required downloading more software to convert my file to something it could work with. Once I was able to import the file, I didn't have too much trouble learning how to use the software, and except for a few glitches, it worked well enough that I was able to edit a short video without too much trouble. The second time I used it, I was working with an avi file that the software was able to import without converting, but, as mentioned in CNET's review, it kept freezing and required shutting it down every time I added an effect or tried to play the storyboard from any point other than the very beginning. It was an exercise in frustration that turned something that should've been quick and simple into a major exercise. Now I'm looking for a more reliable editing software. Reply to this review.

It's not bad for beginners as it has a quick learning curve but if you're like me and you have been using it for several years, it can actually be very good, provided that you download extra effects and that you know the software pretty well.

Aaron Shepard's Publishing Blog (Amazon. Lightning Source, Create. Space, Kindle)Spam Authors, and How to Nail Them. Nov. 2. 8, 2. 01. Since my first post about spam books on Amazon, there have been some excellent news articles on the subject. I was especially intrigued by Caitlin Dewey’s article in the Washington Post. She focused not only on how these books are produced and promoted but also on the fact that many of their authors do not exist. Strona plikersy.pl nie przechowuje ani nie udostępnia żadnych plików. Strona plikersy.pl symuluje wyszukiwanie plików i odsyła do stron trzecich, których. Contact Adobe Customer Service.

It turns out that it’s common practice among spam authors to create fake identities with fabricated credentials. This gives an appearance of authority and trustworthiness, or at least presents an attractive persona. Obviously, the real persona of a spam author would be less than attractive and trustworthy.)At first glance, you may think this is nothing more than the old practice of using a pen name. And of course, there’s nothing wrong with that practice—in fact, I use one myself. But the difference is huge. For the bio of my pen name, I pick and choose facts from my background and career that relate to the books written under that name. ![]() ![]() Compare Adobe Creative Cloud (CC) vs. Creative Suite (CS6): Check out our detailed comparison chart with all the pros and cons to consider. Thanks – Adobe is still offering the CS6 education editions if that’s what you want If for some reason you aren’t seeing the lower CS6 academic pricing given. The pen name represents only a part of me, but it’s still me, and everything I say about myself is true. Even a corporate name, such as used by book packagers for a children’s book series, is different. Yes, the named author may be a nonexistent personality credited with the work of multiple authors hired by the packager. But you won’t be told that this author has an MBA from the University of Michigan plus twenty years running a health spa and lives with her husband and three special- needs children in Savannah, Georgia. Spam authors, on the other hand, just make such things up. They present themselves as something they’re not, to get you to buy their books. This is called fraud, and it’s both unethical and illegal. These authors could, and perhaps should, go to jail. They certainly shouldn’t be allowed to sell their books. I’m finding it fairly easy now to spot spam nonfiction, given the slick covers with stock photos, the copycat, keyword- heavy titling, the publishing frequency, the focus on stock subject areas, the lack of paperback editions, the flood of 5- star reviews just after publication. But how do you spot a fake author? ![]() You might investigate the author’s bio, as Dewey did—but that’s pretty labor intensive. Dewey mentioned, though, that her main example had used a stock photo for his (her) author pic—the portrait photo that appears on an Amazon Author Page, among other places. I wondered if using stock photos was common. I also figured that a faked photo of this kind was a dead giveaway that the entire identity was fake, so I really wouldn’t need to look further. So, I set out to investigate the author pics associated with a number of books that looked to me like spam. The first thing I discovered was that many of these authors don’t have author pics at all. Though that limited the usefulness of my approach, I also found that the spam authors most likely to have pics were those with the most books. In the end, I examined ten author pics for authenticity. How to do that is not widely known, but it’s really not hard. It’s done with what’s called a reverse image search. That means you upload the picture to an online search service and within seconds get matches to pictures found around the Web. I used two such services: Google Images and Tin. Eye. com. I found I needed both, because each gave different results, and sometimes only one search was helpful. Here’s what I found: Of the ten author pics, three came out clean, with no suspicious matches at either search service. Three pics were stock photos, available for purchase from numerous online agencies. Another pic had been lifted, directly or indirectly, from a portrait photographer’s Web site in Hong Kong. The remaining three were the real surprise. They were cases of outright identity theft. The publishers had stolen photos of real people. And not just anyone, but people of some prominence, including one TV personality and one author of real books sold on Amazon. In other words, these publishers were not just deceptive, and not just dishonest, but also downright stupid! With the discovery of seven faked pics out of ten, the question now was, what would Amazon do with this kind of information? First I’ll tell you what they should do, as I recommended to Amazon. Any author who has submitted a faked author pic should have his or her KDP publisher account terminated immediately—because a faked pic is a sure sign that the rest of the author’s identity, and the books themselves, are fraudulent. What’s more, I believe Amazon staff should themselves run reverse image searches on every author pic submitted, using the two services I’ve mentioned. Unfortunately, what I found was that Amazon itself does not yet know how it wants to deal with fake authors. It has become a vigilant crusader against phony reviews, but the issue of phony authors is new to it and confusing. In fact, Amazon has not yet even sorted out the difference between a pen name and a fraudulent identity. I found, though, that some people at Amazon are listening and considering. What they need now is to to hear more about the prevalence of the problem and our concern over it. So, I invite you to join me in this campaign. If you spot an author identity that’s likely to be fake, run the reverse image searches. And if you find that the pic is a stock photo or a stolen identity, report it to Amazon KDP. In my own report, I included the author name, the Author Page URL, the search service that provided the best results, and my conclusions from these results. For the identity thefts, I also included an email address for each victim, for Amazon’s verification. I had already searched these out and notified the victims myself. I figured, if Amazon didn’t want to listen to me, it would certainly have to listen to them! If your first response from KDP is inadequate, bounce it back so your issue will be sent to the next level. Also, you’re welcome to refer to this blog post for explanation, if you need to. There are many factors currently causing the world of Kindle publishing to self destruct. But this might be one we can do something about. JPEG XR on Kindle. Sept. 2. 8, 2. 01. Updated Dec. 1. 9, 2. In my last post, I wrote about the new Kindle Format X, which Amazon has developed to go along with its new layout engine. One of the features of this new Kindle format turns out to be the conversion of all pictures to a new graphics format: JPEG XR. Originally developed by Microsoft, it gives higher image quality at smaller file sizes. Using JPEG XR makes perfect sense, now that Amazon has drastically raised its file size limit for submitted graphics. It also makes sense that Amazon prepares grayscale JPEG XRs of most pictures for delivery to monochrome Kindles. What makes less sense is something I’ve seen through my testing: It’s not only JPEGs that get converted to the new format, but also GIFs. That means that, for Kindle Format X, you can no longer use a GIF to get the cleanest possible lines and text in a picture. You can’t use GIFs for transparency, either. On conversion to JPEG XR, transparent portions of GIFs are flattened to white—which looks fine on a white background but dumb on sepia or black. Though JPEG XR does support transparency, Amazon ignores that capability. Whether that’s from a decision to keep file sizes smaller or is just a remarkable oversight, I can’t tell. Is there another way to get what you could with a GIF? You could instead produce your image in SVG, a format that’s related to PDF and that’s displayed by all but the oldest Kindles. But then you’d need to compose your book directly in HTML or in an app that imports and exports SVG. Microsoft Word certainly isn’t one of those.)You may wonder if the adoption of JPEG XR changes my recommendations for size and format given in my book Pictures on Kindle. First let me clarify that there’s currently no way to submit pictures in JPEG XR to Amazon KDP. The format isn’t recognized by Kindlegen, which is still used for initial processing. Technically, the best acceptable format to submit pictures for conversion to JPEG XR would be PNG, because of its lossless compression. To avoid unnecessarily large files, you could use 8- bit PNG for GIF- style pictures, and 2. PNG only for JPEG- style. Drum kit - Wikipedia. A drum kit — also called a drum set, trap set, or simply drums — is a collection of drums and other percussion instruments, typically cymbals, which are set up on stands to be played by a single player,[1] with drumsticks held in both hands, and the feet operating pedals that control the hi- hat cymbal and the beater for the bass drum. A drum kit consists of a mix of drums (categorized classically as membranophones, Hornbostel- Sachs high- level classification 2) and idiophones - most significantly cymbals, but can also include the woodblock and cowbell (classified as Hornbostel- Sachs high- level classification 1).[2] In the 2. Hornbostel- Sachs classification 5. Also, both hybrid (mixing acoustic instruments and electronic drums) and entirely electronic kits are used. A standard modern kit (for a right- handed player), as used in popular music and taught in music schools,[3][4] contains: A snare drum, mounted on a stand, placed between the player's knees and played with drum sticks (which may include rutes or brushes)A bass drum, played by a pedal operated by the right foot, which moves a felt- covered beater. One or more toms, played with sticks or brushes (usually three toms: rack tom 1 and 2, and floor tom)A hi- hat (two cymbals mounted on a stand), played with the sticks, opened and closed with left foot pedal (it can also produce sound with the foot alone)One or more cymbals, mounted on stands, played with the sticks. All of these are classed as non- pitched percussion, allowing for the music to be scored using percussion notation, for which a loose semi- standardized form exists for the drum kit. If some or all of them are replaced by electronic drums, the scoring and most often positioning remains the same, allowing a standard teaching approach. ![]() The drum kit is usually played while seated on a drum stool or throne. The drum kit differs from instruments that can be used to produce pitched melodies or chords, even though drums are often placed musically alongside others that do, such as the guitar or piano.[5] The drum kit is a part of the standard rhythm section used in many types of popular and traditional music styles, ranging from rock and pop to blues and jazz. Other standard instruments used in the rhythm section include the piano, electric guitar, electric bass, and keyboards.
Many drummers extend their kits from this basic pattern, adding more drums, more cymbals, and many other instruments including pitched percussion. In some styles of music particular extensions are normal, for example double bass drums in heavy metal music and the enlarged kits used by some progressive rock drummers, which may include unusual instruments such as gongs. Some performers, such as some rockabilly drummers, use small kits that omit elements from the basic setup. Some drum kit players may have other roles in the band, such as providing backup vocals, or less commonly, lead vocals. South African jazz drummer Louis Moholo playing a four- piece kit. One of the conventions of drum kit playing is that the number of "pieces" in a kit only counts the drums, not the cymbals or other percussion instruments. History[edit]. Dance band drummer Stan Farmer in 1. Mark Foy's Empress Ballroom in Sydney, New South Wales, using a kit with bass drum pedal and a "low sock". Early development[edit]Prior to the development of the drum set, the standard way that drums and cymbals were used in military and orchestral music settings was to have the different drums and cymbals played separately by different percussionists. Thus, in an early 1. In the 1. 84. 0s, percussionists began to experiment with foot pedals as a way to enable them to play more than one instrument. In the 1. 86. 0s, percussionists started combining multiple drums into a set. The bass drum, snare drum, cymbals, and other percussion instruments were all played using hand- held drum sticks. How to Read Music. Written music is a language that has been developing for thousands of years, and even the music we read today has been around for over 300 years. Steinway Model B Grand Piano in Bubinga. An extremely rare Steinway Crown Jewel collection model B (211cm) grand piano. Tastefully finished in Bubinga satinwood. Drummers in musical theater shows and stage shows, where the budget for pit orchestras were often limited, contributed to the creation of the drum set because they tried to develop ways so that one drummer could do the job of multiple percussionists. Double- drumming was developed to enable one person to play the bass and snare with sticks, while the cymbals could be played by tapping the foot on a "low- boy". With this approach, the bass drum was usually played on beats one and three (in 4/4 time). While the music was first designed to accompany marching soldiers, this simple and straightforward drumming approach eventually led to the birth of ragtime music when the simplistic marching beats became more syncopated. ![]() This resulted in a greater 'swing' and dance feel. The drum set was initially referred to as a "trap set", and from the late 1. By the 1. 87. 0s, drummers were using an "overhang pedal". Most drummers in the 1. Companies patented their pedal systems such as Dee Dee Chandler of New Orleans 1. Liberating the hands for the first time, this evolution saw the bass drum played with the foot of a standing percussionist (thus the term "kick drum"). The bass drum became the central piece around which every other percussion instrument would later revolve. Mr. Fisch Dickson, and his brother, Mr. Lookas Dickson, founded the Dickson & Dickson Co. It was the golden age of drum building for many famous drum companies, with Ludwig introducing.. The ornately engraved" Black Beauty Brass Snare drum; Slingerland premiered its Radio King solid- maple shell; Leedy invented the floating drum head & self- aligning lug; & Gretsch originated the three- way tension system of the Gladstone snare drum".[8] Wire brushes for use with drums and cymbals were introduced in 1. The need for brushes arose due to the problem of the drum sound overshadowing the other instruments on stage. Drummers began using metal fly swatters to reduce the volume on stage next to the other acoustic instruments. Drummers could still play the rudimentary snare figures and grooves with brushes they would normally play with drumsticks. As brushes gained popularity,2. Drummer in a Memphis "juke joint" orchestra playing a kit with four non- tunable toms. Marion Post Wolcott, October 1. Louis Bellson with the Duke Ellington Orchestra at the Palomar Supper Club. Vancouver, B. C., 1. April 1. 95. 2By World War I, drum kits were often marching band- style military bass drums with many percussion items suspended on and around them. Drum kits became a central part of jazz music, especially Dixieland. The modern drum kit was developed in the Vaudeville era during the 1. New Orleans.[9] In 1. New Orleans band called "The Original Dixieland Jazz Band " recorded jazz tunes that became hits all over the country. These were the first official jazz recordings. Drummers such as Baby Dodds, "Zutty" Singleton and Ray Bauduc had taken the idea of marching rhythms, combining the bass drum and snare drum and "traps", a term used to refer to the percussion instruments associated with immigrant groups, which included miniature cymbals, tom toms, cowbells and woodblocks. They started incorporating these elements with ragtime, which had been popular for a couple of decades, creating an approach which evolved into a jazz drumming style. Budget constraints and space considerations in musical theatrepit orchestras led bandleaders to pressure fewer percussionists to cover more percussion parts. Metal consoles were developed to hold Chinese tom- toms, with swing- out stands for snare drums and cymbals. On top of the console was a "contraption" tray (shortened to "trap"), used to hold items like whistles, klaxons, and cowbells, so these drums/kits were dubbed "trap kits". Hi- hat stands became available around 1. In 1. 91. 8 Baby Dodds (Warren "Baby" Dodds, circa 1. Louis Armstrong on the Mississippi, was modifying the military marching set- up and experimenting with playing the drum rims instead of woodblocks, hitting cymbals with sticks (1. Drum maker William Ludwig developed the "sock" or early low- mounted high- hat after observing Dodd's drumming. Ludwig noticed that Dodd tapped his left foot all the time. Dodds had Ludwig raise the newly produced low hats 9 inches higher to make it easier to play, thus creating the modern hi- hat cymbal.[1. Dodds was one of the first drummers to also play the broken- triplet beat that became the standard pulse and roll of modern ride cymbal playing. Dodds also popularized the use of Chinese cymbals.[1. |
