DOOM’s most prolific period came during a time when hip-hop was fully integrating into the mainstream, but he remained too weird to ever have a proper crossover moment. But from a bird’s eye view, his vision always comes into focus, like an art house film that dazzles yet requires repeat viewings to fully appreciate its complexity. The narratives in his songs betray this technique, often sounding disjointed and sometimes difficult to follow. When writing to a beat, he would pull pieces from its pages, assembling dazzling word collages. When Ta-Nehisi Coates profiled him for The New Yorker in 2009, he had the privilege of sifting through his rhyme book, finding disjointed couplets and haphazardly recorded sketches, like puzzle pieces still waiting to be conjoined. He approached his work as a producer in a similar way, assembling various sampled loops and clips ripped from VHS tapes into beats, preferring to leave them mostly intact, offering a roadmap into the influences that formed his psyche. He was a collage artist of sorts, absorbing pieces of ephemera from his life and youth, collecting them in the form of scattered rhymes in notebooks. A “writer’s writer,” DOOM had a distinctive style defined by wildly inventive single-syllable rhymes that rewrote the rules of rap. But despite the controversy behind his reclusivity and use of proxies, his talent as a lyricist is unquestioned.

2/3/2024 0 Comments Honeymoon huntdownAnd she understands the whole big picture of hunting adding value and being nessasary to manage the animals. But she explained she was going to shoot them because she really enjoyed the "sneaking" up to them and she liked being up front. Ann never got "buck fever" because she really did not care as much about shooting the animal as gaining the whole expieriance. He would pull over and let her take pictures and he actually got into ponting out the various birds, etc. The PH understood this was not just about shooting animals, but rather about expieriancing them and their environment. Example is she stepped around a bush in a river bottom and got pictures of Wart Hogs right in front of her. And we passed on a lot of animals but she got pictures of most of them. Took over 1400 pictures including some great landscapes she would never have gotten if not for going along on the hunt. She kept a notebook and wrote down every species of animal, bird and reptile she saw. She turned the offer down and later told me that she was afraid if she went, she might miss seeing something on the hunt. So at day 4 or 5 the outfitters wife came and offered to take her for a day. She had originally insisted that she wanted to break up the hunt and take a day or two to go sight seeing. She shot a Blesbuck, Zebra, Black Wildebeest, Impalla, and Fallow Deer. I told her every one was a dead Zebra! We bought a set of sticks and she practiced a lot with them. I asked her if she knew what that was and she replied "really bad? only one is in the bullseye". Took her out to practice after sighting it in and she had about a 3" 5 shot group in first time shooting anything bigger than a 22 in over 35 years. So she has her own gun, that leads to more "buy in". Well the guns I had did not fit her so we went shopping and found a gun and scope combo that "fit" really well. So of course she had to practice shooting. I strategically refused to shoot "a damn horse" and a couple days later she decided she would shoot the Zebra but that was it. But then she decided she wanted a Zebra rug. Maybe we got lucky with a nice camp, good people and a really great PH, but everything after the hunt felt anti-climatic.īack to my wife and her expiance A year ago she was determined to only take pictures. Not much to get too excited about with a sleeping lion being circled by noisey tourists in overloaded vans. Even if we were not ever in the presence of dangerous game on the hunt. And a game drive at Schotia to "shoot" an 18 year old lion with a camera is cool, but noting compared to being out with real "Wild" life. We did the hunt first, but that really detracted (for us at least) from the rest of trip because even Table Mountain cannot compare to the secluded mountain tops we had to ourselves (with the PH and trackers) while hunting. But we were gone for 23 days and did a full gammit of tourist stuff including renting a car and a leasurely drive down the Garden Route from PE to Cape Town. Originally she complained about a 10 day hunt and not wanting to do "only hunting". (she does boot camp several times per week) She could run up and down those East Cape mountains all damn day! I think she secretely enjoyed running my ass off! She has also been on a real health kick the last few years and is now in great shape. She liked squirrel hunting better and was a great shot. My wife had hunted whitetails as a kid with her dad but never shot and hated the sitting in stands and the cold. We went for our 30th aniversary, and my 50th birthday. You have a great idea there! The Laundry thing is the best, but taking your new wife on a hunting honeymoon is almost as good. Then I flirted with cocaine, but that’s like poison to somebody with panic disorder, literally like poison. “After alcohol it was pot, which made my panic much worse, so I stopped that pretty quickly. In part to combat his migraines and anxiety, Tweedy had what he describes as a series of “monogamous relationships” with drugs, using for a while, then quitting. “I knew there was a family history of it, and it was something that scared me,” he says. I come from a family with an alcoholic background, so I’ve struggled with addiction, or at least alcoholism, for a long time as well.” In 1991, while still a member of Uncle Tupelo–an outfit known for its boozing–Tweedy quit drinking. “That probably goes as far back as my childhood. “I’ve been dealing with depression and panic disorder for a long time,” he says. Long before he’d gained any notoriety, Tweedy was trying to balance his awareness that something was badly wrong with his desire to downplay the extent of his problem–to keep it manageable, if only in his head. But the truth seems to lie somewhere in between. Some in the popular press have portrayed it as a typical case of rock-star excess: Tweedy was featured in a Billboard cover story on addiction along with rehab ghouls like Courtney Love and Scott Weiland. Tweedy’s handlers have tried to downplay his recent hospitalization as a minor stint in rehab for painkiller abuse, the unfortunate by-product of his lifelong battle with migraines. Tweedy, thinner and shaggier than he’s been in years, takes off his mirrored aviator sunglasses and flops face-first onto a futon in the corner. It’s less than 72 hours before their first shows, a pair of warm-up gigs at a small club in DeKalb, and they’ve been trying to work through a set list of 60-plus songs. The first time all the members of the new Wilco–Tweedy, bassist John Stirratt, drummer Glenn Kotche, keyboardist Mikael Jorgensen, and recent additions Pat Sansone and Nels Cline–were all in this space together was three days ago. Shelves lined with CDs and books, cases of gear, recording equipment, and reels of tape clutter every corner, and the walls are hung with all manner of rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia–concert posters, band photos, drawings by fans. It serves as the band’s studio, storage facility, and clubhouse. The musicians set their instruments aside and disperse as a production manager and guitar tech start to untangle the maze of cords. It’s a quiet Sunday in May, and as the band wraps up rehearsal you can hear birds chirping outside. Late-afternoon sunlight filters through the windows of Wilco’s loft, a third-story warehouse space near Albany Park. In another day he’d be in the emergency room. I wanted someone to tell me what was wrong, ’cause it was really scary, terrifying.” “I wanted to be knocked out and locked up. “I was just begging to be hospitalized,” he says. A few weeks earlier he’d quit everything cold. Tweedy had become anxious about taking painkillers, scared that he was becoming an addict. Later, he began taking prescription painkillers, antidepressants, and antianxiety medication.īut his migraines and panic attacks were becoming stronger and tougher to deal with. Over the years he’d tried to assuage his fears and kill the pain with drugs: first booze, then pot, coke, and pills. Tweedy’s belief in his talent as an artist had long been undermined by bouts of anxiety and depression, which were worsened by severe migraine headaches. Unable to focus long enough to read a book or even to play with his two young sons, he’d taken to leaving the house for hours at a time and just walking. And Tweedy himself was about to publish his first collection of poetry.īy all rights he should’ve been feeling pretty good. Already the stars of a feature-length documentary, the group would soon be the subject of a biography, Greg Kot’s Wilco: Learning How to Die. The follow-up, A Ghost Is Born, would be out soon, and the band had a new lineup Tweedy was genuinely excited about. The band’s last album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, had sold 450,000 copies and was well on its way to going gold–not bad for an album that had been rejected by its intended label. He’d soon celebrate his ninth wedding anniversary and his tenth year fronting Wilco. He shuffled through the grass, past the swings and across the baseball diamond, retracing his steps over and over again before slumping onto a cold iron bench. On a brisk morning this past March, Jeff Tweedy took a walk through the park near his house on the northwest side.

Harvest time tracking is a powerful program. An example of a Harvest project How to use Harvest time tracking Harvest takes a strong stance against taking screenshots and this type of monitoring, and they are transparent about it. It can destroy trust between employees and management, and it can make employees feel alienated. When the screenshot is taken, you can see exactly what the employee was working on or if they have social media minimized in the tray, but this has some downsides. Some time tracking software takes screenshots periodically, or randomly, which allows supervisors to keep track of what their employees are doing. Does Harvest’s time tracker take screenshots? In my opinion, this is a negligible cost, and you will see the results and benefits if you start using this program. If you need to manage a team or have more projects to manage, you can sign up for the pro version which is around $12 per month. Harvest has a free version that allows one person to track up to two projects. Harvest FAQs Is Harvest time tracking free? This is one of the main advantages for writers, bloggers, and other creatives. This allows you to do your best work and get tasks done more quickly than having to worry about whether you will forget your next deadline or lose track of some hours. You can get in the “zone” and let your creativity flow. Instead, you can open Harvest, create an entry, and do deep, focused work on a task. The advantage to using a time tracker like Harvest is that with it monitoring time, you don’t have to monitor when you start, stop, calculate total hours, and all the other personal time tracking tasks. The Harvest app is easy to use for on-the-go time tracking Also, if you want to work on a task until it is finished, you can just let the tracker keep track of your hours for you. The advantage is that it is right in front of your face where you are more likely to remember, and you can use it to remind yourself to take a break. You can make a list of to-do’s and start a timer that appears beside each task when you start and stop working on it. You still have to turn the time tracker on and off. It even has an automatic invoicing option that will integrate with QuickBooks. Harvest lets you keep track of how your team is spending time, set automatic reminders, receive email reminders, and do expense tracking for you. Harvest is a time management tool that you can use on your desktop, phone, or browser. Harvest allows you to create and track individual projects and tasks What is Harvest time management? Not only that, customers want to see accurate time tracking so that they know what they are paying for and can see that their money was well-spent. Billing can creep up on you, and you might find yourself trying to backtrack and remember what you did. We have all been caught up in what we are doing and forgot to record the time. All this time you spend distracted takes you further away from your goals instead of towards them.Īnother challenge is for projects that are billed by the hour. Many times, you do not even realize how much time you spend answering emails, answering phone calls, or taking “5 minutes” to scroll social media. The key to reaching our goals is staying on track, but it is easy to get distracted during the day. Whether you have a team of one or a team of 20, a time tracking tool can be the best investment you make. Harvest time tracking software provides a solution if you find yourself struggling to remember to look at the clock. If you are on a project that is invoiced by the hour, this can be especially problematic. The problem is that we get lost in our work and lose track of time. Keeping track of time is something writers and bloggers have difficulty with, myself included. 2/3/2024 0 Comments Magia record memoriaTambin se revel una imagen promocional de la misma.

In 2004, the book was sold to Miramax Books for enough money for Riordan to quit his job and focus on writing. He gained their approval, and with their help, came up with the name of the book and created the way Percy's sword works. Leaving his manuscript with his agent and editor for review, Rick Riordan presented the book to a group of sixth, seventh, and eighth graders to read and critique. Haley suggested that he should turn that story into a book, and Riordan wrote the first book, later becoming known as The Lightning Thief, over the next year despite being busy at that time. This led Riordan to create the fictional character of Percy Jackson and create the story of him traveling across the United States to recover Zeus's lightning bolt, which was thought to be done by Hades. When Rick Riordan ran out of myths, his son suggested that he would make up new stories using existing mythological characters and new ones. His son, Haley, had been studying Greek mythology in second grade and requested that his father tell him bedtime stories based on Greek myths. Riordan at the Texas Book Festival in November 2007, doing publicity for Book 4ĭevelopment for the Percy Jackson series commenced when Rick Riordan began telling bedtime stories for his son Haley Riordan, who had at the time been diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. A TV series based on the novels is currently in production for Disney+. An adaptation of the second book, titled Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, was released in 2013, also to mixed reviews. The first book was adapted into a film titled Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief in 2010, which was commercially successful, but received mixed reviews from critics and the audience as it has very few similarities to the book. Two sequel series, The Heroes of Olympus and The Trials of Apollo, follow. As of January 2022, the books have sold more than 180 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling book series of all time. Five supplementary books, along with graphic novel versions of each book, have also been released. All the books were published in the United Kingdom by Penguin Books. The first three books were published in the United States by Miramax Books before it was folded into Hyperion Books, which published the following books. The novels are set in a world with the Greek gods in the 21st century, and follows the protagonist Percy Jackson, a young demigod who must prevent the Titans, led by Kronos (Cronus), from destroying the world. Percy Jackson & the Olympians is a series of five fantasy novels written by American author Rick Riordan, and the first book series in the Camp Half-Blood Chronicles.

Note the decorative design elements on the walls of the building. Photo courtesy of Los Angeles Times. (1934) **- View showing construction workers standing on scaffolding around the large dome of Griffith Observatory. Lower-than-usual prices caused by the Great Depression enabled the selection of the finest materials of the day for the interior walls, floors, and finishes, making the building both beautiful and durable. A major earthquake in Long Beach in March 1933 - just as construction plans were being finalized - led the architects to abandon the planned terra cotta exterior in favor of strengthening and thickening the building's concrete walls. Griffith Observatory was shaped not only by the minds of scientists but also by the times in which it was built. (1934)* - The construction of Griffith Observatory in the final phases. In his will Griffith donated funds to build an observatory, exhibit hall, and planetarium on the donated land.

Griffith saw the rings of Saturn or another celestial object with the then-new 60-inch reflector telescope, but we can be sure that it inspired his vision of a world-class observatory for the people of Los Angeles, allowing the masses a glimpse of the heaven.

There are always three towers to find but by the fifth level, the play space has expanded and the islands have become smaller and more numerous. By the end, what was once fun and interesting becomes rote and boring at best and deeply frustrating at worst. In fact, as the game progresses, all of these beats from the opening hour repeat four times. This moment is genuinely climactic and cool and had me on board for whatever came next.īut, then it repeats, largely unchanged, four times. Hulking sea creatures breach the water as jaunty music, which threads the needle between sea shanty and battle theme, guides you along. Pass through the gate and you'll find your boat, waiting to take you on a river ride through a stone cavern. After finding all three, you search for a gate, carved into a massive outcropping of rock. You search for two more, each with a portion of the key you need to progress to the next level. A tower in the distance, which tapers into a stony crab's claw, beckons. Turns out you can craft a grass boat with enough rope and some elbow grease.įrom here, Windbound's waters open up. Locating this artifact will unlock some new crafting recipes. Eventually you'll find a shrine on the island where you'll receive an oar, which is, in some way, legendarily significant. Deplete it and you'll wake up on the beach, back where you started. Okay, you have grass, but what can you do with grass? Okay, you crafted a grass rope, but what can you do with a grass rope? You may try to wade into the water in hopes of swimming to the closest island, but your stamina gauge will quickly dash those hopes. You'll stumble around early on, unable to do much of anything.
