![]() ![]() It’s easy to imagine Armstrong’s contemporaries hearing “West End Blues” as the work of a genius, a tough act to follow and even something to top. Blazing fast, encompassing the trumpet’s entire range, technically dazzling, artfully constructed and as easy on the senses as the curves of a Botticelli bathing beauty, Armstrong could have easily played just this brief free-tempo improvisation and more than satisfied most listeners.Īs for his fellow trumpeters, Armstrong’s cadenza must have invited another Italian phrase, namely agita. It’s not a musical term but it is a fair description of what some players no doubt experienced after first hearing “West End Blues.” Musicians are as much working professionals with their ears open for competition as they are sensitive artists seeking inspiration. Some of them may even discuss the remaining three minutes and ten seconds of “West End Blues,” the part after Louis Armstrong’s introductory cadenza:Īrmstrong plays masterfully throughout the record but generations (rightfully) continue to focus on his cadenza. None of this music needs a defense.Ī little over two weeks from now musicians, musicologists, scholars, historians, collectors, aficionados and fans will mark the eighty-sixth anniversary of a revolution in jazz and a landmark occurrence in American music.

On the other hand, this article encapsulated several ideas about a lot of music I enjoy, which made me think about why these views actually bothered me.

![]() I’m not going to complicate this, because I actually want you to give this a go, so here is a super simple Meal Planning template that works.Ĭlick on it, Print it, Save it for next week. So Whats Special About my Meal Plan Template? Nothing. ![]() Game Changer, baby! I have a year of Meal Plans up my sleeve now. I’m on a roll creating organizational planner printables and this free printable meal planner template with shopping list is the latest.Meal prep for the week to get yourself organized. It’s not rocket science.Īnd as an added little bonus, after a few weeks, The grocery store tends to have similar things on special, so if I keep my Meal plans, I can rotate them and use them again. Organize your entire week with this accessible weekly meal planning template. Fab N’ Free kindly created this black-and-white template to save you money on printer ink when you print it out. Now I just take a picture with my phone of the meal plan stuck (with a magnet) to the fridge and shop from that. I like the weekly plan that has spots for 3 square meals a day, plus a shopping list to get everything you need 9. I used to write out a detailed shopping list to go with it but that just pushed it into the ‘ Agh!! too much‘ zone. And I love going through mailers so at the same time, I check out the specials and fill out my meal plan for the week based on what’s in Season or on sale. And meal planning helps me with both of those things.Įvery Thursday, the local grocery store mailer arrives in my mailbox. Not me, because that s just not my ‘thing’. I’m not naturally organised and Meal Planning is one of those things I thought ‘other Moms did’. The thing is, I always thought Meal Planning was too much of an effort. My husband works really hard to support us and when I waste money like that – simply because I’m not organised – it upsets me. Knowing that I spent $3 on that soggy, rotten lettuce that I forgot about at the back of the fridge, and now tossing it in the compost – makes me feel guilty. Throwing food away really, really bugs me. Once a week, usually on the weekend, I'll sit down with my computer and open up Pinterest. ![]() ![]() As you can tell, the free download has sections for every day of the week, as well as a spot for a grocery list where you can write everything down. There was one thing I did last year that I wish I had started years ago – Meal Planning.įor some reason I have always resisted this simple 5 minute job and I am now certain that this little mistake has cost me thousands of dollars in unnecessary spending and food waste over the years.

While you don’t have to start here, I like to make some basic adjustments to the page out of the get-go. Step 3: Adjusting the properties of your page. ![]() The white rectangle with the drop-shadow is the blank “page”. You should get a blank screen like this, which is the basic workspace. I’ll assume this is pretty self-explanatory unless someone tells me otherwise. Obviously, this is downloading the program. To help people in my lab start using it, I’m writing up this primer describing a series of basic processes I perform when using it. It can be a little buggy, but I’ve learned to absolutely love it over the last 10 years or so. Inkscape is a free & open source software that works on Mac or Windows. I’ve never actually used it, mostly b/c I started using playing around with vector graphics editor software when I was a grad student, and the idea of paying for an Adobe product with my own money was unpalatable. A proprietary program some people may be used to is Adobe Illustrator. NOTE: The -x -y -W -H specify which region to crop from the big file (the unit is point for vector images).Vector graphics editor software are SUPER useful when trying to make figures. ![]() Pdftocairo -svg -x 0 -y 0 -W 65 -H 70 o.pdf oo.svg Pdftocairo is my life-saver, it conveniently allowed me to crop the resulting PDF file to only the part that I am interested in resulting in SVG files that only has 10,000 objects which Inkspace can ungroup readily and I was able to edit it with ease. pdf2svg works but produces an SVG file that takes minutes to load in Inkscape, and then forever to Ungroup because it has 300,000 objects from the root.eps2eps (for some reason this results in a "cleaner" EPS file).LibreOffice offered to open it but failed, Inkspace and Scribus both also failed to open it. I struggle with this, after downloading a vector image from a stock photo website, I ended up with a 9MB EPS file for which I do not have Adobe Illustrator to edit it. It gets the colours of my EPS file even more wrong than Inkscape, while Preview for Mac can read it just fine. Gimp just does the same stupid bitmap conversion that ImageMagick does. (Update: Fix Released for this bug on February 2015) This is due to an Inkscape bug with importing EPS files. It doesn't actually have a real vector conversion algorithm for these formats.Įvery time I've converted an EPS with InkScape, it's messed up the colours. It has the sense of a "page" that you put your drawing on, so after you import an EPS, you have to move it around and manually crop the page.įor EPS to SVG conversion, ImageMagick does some really stupid bitmap conversion and will render SVG files that are 50mb, when they should be a few kb. Here's a list of alternatives and reasons why they suck: I tried it on one EPS, but the SVG was offset improperly, but it may work for you. Run it like this: uniconvertor before.eps after.svgĪnd that's it. You won't have to bother cropping the image in sK1 if you use uniconvertor, so it's more automated. It's a command-line tool that shares code with the sK1 Project. ![]() Uniconvertor is currently the most convenient option. ![]() ![]() Crime Junkie – Mysterious Death Of Sherese Walker Bingham (Parts 1 & 2) Anatomy Of A Murder – Island Intruders (Brian Simpson)Ī Young woman disappears in Alaska, Police look at two brothers as suspects, but would anyone be able to breach their loyalty and find the truth?

Or if you are this type, you can only act like that. If you are like this, you cannot be like that. Keep in mind 4 letters do not define who you really are, how you should interact or make you smarter than others (seen that too).Ī not so fun fact Personality types are described on the internet, in a very unrealistic way. Optional information/personal thoughts on types and a weird personality test It is our environment that creates emotions, and we just experience a boost on how we react base on those influences and the way that we process them. You are not always focused because you are a Thinker. Just like it happens to people, in real life. I wanted them to mainly be “influenced” by their environment and not by their traits. The mod is balanced, all the emotional weights are not set up to 1, so that sims will not be overwhelmed by a specific state. However, I have always admired the extraverts for their ability to express themselves so clear and so easy! They amaze me, almost every time. Some buff descriptions are inspiring, motivating and some of them are witty but while I was creating this mod I haven’t ever thought how interesting are some of the personalities that I almost had no clue about. Usually upon loading the game or upon travelling to another location for 3 hours sim-time. On the other hand, the F (Feeler Types) personalities are initially happy and always have an additional buff when they become (very)confident, (very)inspired, (very)playful, (very)flirty, (very)angry, (very)tense and/or (very)sad.Īll personality types will have a fine buff which represents their time to reflect. ![]() Now, to be more specific all personalities with a T (Thinking Types) are confident, as long as they have this trait active and have an additional buff, when they become (very)focused, (very)inspired, (very)playful, (very)flirty, (very)angry, (very)tense and/or (very)sad. Perhaps you now see a buff which says that I am very inspired because of an inspiring decor or because I have the Creative Trait, and now you also see an extra buff which shows how I process this emotional state. Let’s say that I am an INFP personality type, and I am inspired. However, keep in mind, that other traits, usually the custom ones which I also use because they are great, may not let the buff replacement happen. This mod shows how each personality type processes those feelings, despite their other traits. ![]() For example, all sims may be focused, confident, happy, sad, angry, flirty and so on – like us humans. Sims, like all humans with any kind of personality type, they experience a broad spectrum of emotions. In a way, so that every time they become inspired – for example, you may also get a sense of what this means for the sim with a certain personality trait. The main purpose of the creation of this mod was to do something that would make Sims have a more human like or personality like emotion as an additional one based on their current mood. The 16 traits are presented in detail on the image gallery, and here’s a list ENFP The Champion, ENTJ The Commander, ENTP The Visionary, ESFJ The Provider, ESFP The Perfomer, ESTJ The Supervisor, ESTP The Dynamo, INFJ The Counselor, INFP The Healer, INTJ The Mastermind, INTP The Architect, ISFJ The Protector, ISFP The Composer, ISTJ The Supervisor, ISTP The Craftsman and ENFJ The Teacher. This mod is actually 16 different game files or 16 separate files, so that if you would like to only play with specific traits/personality types, you can easily do so. Personality typing attempts to find the broadest, most important ways in which people are different, and make sense of these differences by sorting people into meaningful groups. It is a system of categorizing people according to their tendencies to think and act in particular ways. The Mega 16 Personalities Trait Pack is created based on the 16 Myers & Briggs’ Personality Typing.

These are the ACTUAL cases and cartridges of the games! Now some of you my be wondering, WTF is Mario on the art for Yoshi's Story and Wario Land? Well, in the manga, Mario plays roles in the mangas based on the two games. This is what you've been waiting for! My own custom Super Mario box/cartridge art! The images were taken from Super Mario Kun, a Super Mario-themed manga only in Japan. Luckily, my save data wasn't corrupted, but I probably wouldn't use this cartridge again just so I don't lose all my data.ĮDIT: Wow, thanks for all the views, everyone. I believe that the two Game Boy titles won't work with the new labels, as Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 kept crashing, freezing and other things. For the N64 and Game Boy titles, I had to print them out at the same exact size as the sticker label (the thing on the cartridge that tells you the game's name), and tape it directly onto the cart itself. For the Gamecube and Wii titles on the bottom row, I simply took images from various Super Mario-Kun issues, slapped on the original video game titles, printed them at the exact same size as the game cases, and slid then into the cases in front of the original artwork. This is a project I did back in early May of the year 2009, in which I created custom box artwork for my copies for various Super Mario titles that were given Super Mario-Kun adaptations during it's lifespan. UPDATE: Well, for important reasons, I decided to give an even more descriptive title to this image. Of course, if it's too much for you, you don't have to waste your time doing it. If you arrived here, I would highly suggest also checking out my real artwork over at my gallery and leaving some feedback. ![]() |
