  • End of the Tether I for a Long Time After the Course of the Steamer Sofala Had Been Altered for the Land, the Low Swampy Coast H
    End of the Tether I For a long time after the course of the steamer Sofala had been altered for the land, the low swampy coast had retained its appearance of a mere smudge of darkness beyond a belt of glitter. The sunrays seemed to fall violently upon the calm sea--seemed to shatter them- selves upon an adamantine surface into sparkling dust, into a dazzling vapor of light that blinded the eye and wearied the brain with its unsteady brightness. Captain Whalley did not look at it. When his Serang, approaching the roomy cane arm-chair which he filled capably, had informed him in a low voice that the course was to be altered, he had risen at once and had remained on his feet, face forward, while the head of his ship swung through a quarter of a circle. He had not uttered a single word, not even the word to steady the helm. It was the Serang, an elderly, alert, little Malay, with a very dark skin, who murmured the order to the helmsman. And then slowly Captain Whalley sat down again in the arm-chair on the bridge and fixed his eyes on the deck between his feet. He could not hope to see anything new upon this lane of the sea. He had been on these coasts for the last three years. From Low Cape to Malantan the distance was fifty miles, six hours' steaming for the old ship with the tide, or seven against. Then you steered straight for the land, and by-and-by three palms would appear on the sky, tall and slim, and with their disheveled heads in a bunch, as if in confidential criticism of the dark mangroves.

  • Chapter 19 Music Video's Second Aesthetic? Carol Vernallis How Different Is a Lady Gaga Video from One by a Flock of Seagulls?
    1 Chapter 19 Music Video’s Second Aesthetic? Carol Vernallis How different is a Lady Gaga video from one by A Flock of Seagulls? MTV’s first broadcast was thirty years ago. Music video has since undergone shifts in technologies, platforms, periods of intense cross-pollination with other media, financial booms and busts, and changing levels of audience engagement. While music videos hit a low point in the 00s as budgets dried up, they have reemerged as a key driver of popular culture.1 Music video’s moment of resurgence resembles MTV’s first moment: there seems to be a question of what music video can do and where it fits. What does it mean to look back on this thirty-year history? A comparison of the beginnings and the present might show vast differences in performance style, formal conceits, editing, depictions of space, the showcasing of new technologies—or it might not. Might we track the changes from 1979 to 2012? Should we follow the arrivals of new technologies or the migrations to new venues and platforms—from low-res video production in the eighties, to high- gloss 35 millimeter in the nineties, to flexible digital technologies in the 2000’s; from BET, MTV and late-night TV to YouTube, Vimeo and Vevo? We might instead follow the cycles of maturation (in genres like rap and metal), or auteurs’ interests and influence and the ways 1 Music video is financially viable again as directors and musicians embed product placement in clips, and YouTube clips link directly to the industry-driven site VEVO.

  • Star Wars Bounty Hunter Wars #3 the Hard Merchandise by K.W.Jeter
    Star Wars Bounty Hunter Wars #3 The Hard Merchandise by K.W.Jeter THE BOUNTY HUNTER . HUNTED . ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author would once again like to extend thanks to Sue Rostoni and Michael Stackpole for invaluable assistance, and to Pat LoBrutto for saintly patience. Also, a special thanks to Irwyn Applebaum. Honi soit qui mal y pense. 1 NOW... (during the events of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi) Two bounty hunters sat in a bar, talking. "Things aren't what they used to be," said Zuckuss morosely. As a member of one of the ammonia-breathing species of his homeworld Gand, he had to be careful in establishments such as this. Intoxicants and stimulants that produced feelings of well-being in other creatures often evoked a profound melancholy in him. Even in a high-class place that supposedly catered to all known physiologies-the soothing, programmed play of lights across the columned walls, the shifting spectra that were supposed to relax weary travelers' central nervous systems, struck Zuckuss as crepuscular and depressing as the faded hopes of his youth. I had ambitions once, he told himself, leaning over the tall, blue-tinged glass in front of him. Big ones. Where had they gone? "I wouldn't know," said Zuckuss's companion. The droid bounty hunter 4-LOM sat across from him, an untouched drink-perhaps only water- in front of him. A mere formality: the drink had been taken away twice already and replaced with exactly the same thing, so the charges could be rung up on 4-LOM's tab.
