Not every look I put together is ‘good,’ but it’ll certainly get your attention.” She EXCLUSIVE VIDEO FEATURES wasn’t always such a fashion enthusiast, though; up until around her freshman year, Axelrod favored basic items such as low-rise leggings and graphic tees. Her sartorial turning point came when she started fol- lowing fashion bloggers on Instagram and YouTube. “My current favorites are Beth Jones of B. Jones Style, AND SIGN UP FOR WEEKLY NEWS Tara Chandra, and Allison of Titi Alli. They all give me ideas of outfi ts to put together, but ultimately, my clothes are what inspire me,” says the avid thri er, whose personal style has been developed through “a lot of trial and error.” On the day she was photographed, she ended up missing her school bus because she CHICAGOREADER.COM/FOOD couldn’t fi gure out what to layer under her olive button-down—an XL pajama top she found at a thri store in Arlington Heights, her hometown. “The fabric was so beautiful I couldn’t pass it by,” she says. The 17-year- old ended up pairing her esteemed shirt with a turtleneck she got on sale at Target a couple of years ago, vintage frames that used to belong to her mom, earrings handed down from her grandma, a belt that used to be a Gryffi ndor tie from a Hermione costume, and a pair of ASOS platforms, her “pride and glory,” thri - ed at the Savers in Schaumburg for eight bucks. Axelrod highly recommends that store. “They have the biggest and most organized kids section, which is where I get most of my funky pieces,” she enthuses.

  • Dec1 Untitled REF GUIDE FINAL[2]
    UNTITLED RESOURCE GUIDE SUGGESTIONS FOR ENGAGEMENT ABOUT UNTITLED Beginning with a reflection on the early AIDS epidemic, Untitled eschews a linear narrative to introduce a fractious timeline, moving from the sublime to the tragic and back again. By juxtaposing mainstream network news, activist footage, artists' work, and popular entertainment from the last turbulent decades, Untitled references regimes of power that precipitated a generation of AIDS and queer activism and continues today with international struggle and expression. In 2010, artist Jim Hodges was invited to give a lecture on the billboard project of Félix González-Torres at San Antonioʼs Artpace. He teamed up with fellow filmmakers Carlos Marques da Cruz and Encke King to create Untitled. Neither a portrait or a documentary about González- Torres, the film was an attempt to place the viewer “in his room,” that is to say, the filmmakers worked to create, for the viewer, an understanding of the influences and contexts within which González- UNTITLED Torres was working. In Hodges's words, “In this way, the framing of the artist can become a way to project any number of people, endlessly.” A Film by Untitled can therefore be considered to be as much about González- Jim Hodges, Carlos Marques da Cruz, and Encke King Torres and the AIDS crisis as it can be seen as grappling with the continuum of global dehumanization. PURPOSE OF THIS RESOURCE GUIDE In an effort to honor the sense of endlessness that Untitled suggests, this guide is a resource for provoking both public and private conversation. We have provided you with: • WORDS for engagement regarding HIV/AIDS, art, and culture • THOUGHTS to provoke dialogue • HIV/AIDS TIMELINE • INFORMATION about prevention and wellness • LINKS to extend the conversation CREDITS • Like the film, this Resource Guide hopes to raise more questions than it answers.

Explore our website to find wisdom that speaks to you and your practice… September 3, 2020 - As told to Max Mertens, 2681 words. Tags: Music, Film, Inspiration, Process, Identity, Production, Multi-tasking. On being thoughtful about each decision you make Musician and composer Owen Pallett on maintaining a punk ethos in the world of chamber music, their fool-proof lyric writing method, revisiting old work, and negative inspiration. This is your first solo album in six years, but you’ve been busy in that time with different scores and arranging for other musicians. Did these projects take any creative or financial pressure off you when it came to making this record? Sometimes they do and sometimes they don’t really. Film scores are always kind of a bit of a crapshoot. If you score a film and it becomes a bit of a hit, then you do get residuals off it, so it is a good investment if you pick the right films. I notoriously have a bit of a bad nose for a good script. Back in 2008 or 2007, Gus Van Sant was asking me to possibly score Milk prior to studio involvement, and I remember reading the script and thinking it was bullshit. It won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, and I was like “Oh wow, I don’t really have a good nose for that kind of stuff.” Most of the production work and arrangement work that I do is a little more labor of love.

Both, as it happens, are at C2G Music Hall which is not just a great room for Wmusic but is easy to get to as well. Located on the south edge of downtown, all you’ve got to do is turn east from Fairfield or west from Calhoun or Lafayette (or whatever) and you can’t miss it. Even the parking situation is a breeze. So, if your appetite has been sufficiently whetted, we encourage you to read up on Toronzo Cannon, the headliner for The League’s annual Blues Bash benefit, and those other lads from Liverpool, the Mersey Beatles, on pages four and five, respectively. Mark Hunter and Deborah Kennedy wrote the features, so you’ll find these stories nearly (but not quite) as entertaining as the shows themselves.

    CONDUCT AND ETHICS ESSAYS By Julius Wachtel As originally published in POLICEISSUES.ORG (c) 2007-2021 Julius Wachtel Permission to reproduce in part or in whole granted for non-commercial purposes only POLICEISSUES.ORG Posted 3/7/10 A COP’S DILEMMA When duty and self-interest collide, ethics can fly out the window By Julius Wachtel, (c) 2010 Protecting public officials may not be the primary mission of the New York State Police, but there’s no denying that the Executive Services Detail, a unit of about 200 officers who guard the Governor and his family, is the most prestigious assignment to which Troopers can aspire. With David Paterson’s picture prominently displayed on the department homepage (a photo of recently-departed Superintendent Harry Corbitt is buried two layers down) there’s little doubt as to who’s really in charge. And that may be part of the problem. On Halloween evening, October 31, 2009, New York City cops were summoned to a Bronx apartment where an anguished woman told them that David Johnson, a man with whom she had been living, “had choked her, stripped her of much of her clothing, smashed her against a mirrored dresser and taken two telephones from her to prevent her from calling for help.” Johnson, who is six-foot seven, was gone, and officers filed a misdemeanor report. Two days later, while seeking a restraining order in family court, the victim told a referee that her assailant could probably be found at the Governor’s mansion. You see, David Johnson was until days ago the Governor’s top aide.

Although the family is poor, barely making enough money to survive through petty crime, they seem to live happily together until an unforeseen incident reveals hidden secrets, testing the bonds that unite them… INTERVIEW WITH KORE-EDA HIROKAZU Director You decided to make this film after learning about incidents of families illegally receiving the pensions of parents who had already died years ago. Was your inten- tion to depict a family from a different angle compared to your previous films? The first thing that came to my mind was the tagline: “Only the crimes tied us together”.

  • Logic New Album Download
    Logic new album download Continue Sean Farner For many music lovers, album art is as much a part of the experience as music. When you play a song on an iPhone that doesn't have album art attached, it detracts from the feeling that you're listening to one part of the larger collection. That's why Apple has included a feature in iTunes to automatically download album artwork for songs that are missing from these images. Using this feature and sync your iPhone, you'll be able to replace the album art and get the full album listening experience on your device. Open the iTunes software and click on the Music button on the left sidebar. Click on the Advanced menu option at the top of the iTunes app and then click on the Get Album artwork button. This feature scans through your iTunes library and automatically downloads and inserts album art into songs that don't yet have it. When the process is complete, move on. Plug in the 30-pin iPhone USB cable connector at the bottom of your iPhone, and connect the other end to the available USB port on your computer. Click Sync Now if your iPhone is not automatically in sync. Once the song is synchronized, your iPhone must now have matching album cover images. Album art is useful for identifying albums when viewing a digital music library. When you sync music files, an album work usually appears on a portable device. The cover is usually embedded in music files - but not always. If you don't have album art for all the albums in your music collection, you can download works of art from free websites, but if you need to update a lot of music in your library, this method can be tedious.
