Chord by Chord
From Kolo kolo mlynsky::, 2 month ago, Similar articles
Years ago, in another life, I went to music school, and for four years got to indulge in that most nerdy of all analysis - music theory. By the time we graduated, if you handed me a score I could take it apart chord by chord and tell you its harmonic progression, no problem. Everyone in our class could, it came with the territory. We also had to sing the chords to "A Star Spangled Banner" while playing the piano as a prerequisite to crossing the stage at graduation, and one memorable night a...

National Director of Honduran Police, Ricardo RamÃrez del CidImage: Diario Tiempo, HondurasBold headline, regurgitating official statements, but the reality is something quite different. [All links are in Spanish unless otherwise noted.]Police suspensionsSome number of police agents and officials have been suspended. It is unclear exactly what 'suspended' means and some news articles have used the term 'separation'. If and when the charges are proven, these employees will be permanently...

I have a new Advent banner for Lucullian, I can't understand why I haven't changed it before though there are family members who cries for the old one but why always stick with the old, why not just move onwards' But I don't want to stop my links on Sunday, I have some quite nice ones to share with you this week: This is my favourite, Dear Photograph, I just love the idea and how people

I have been slightly petrified by all the bare walls in our newly finished basement. Like it's so intimidating to have a blank canvas that it's hard to know where or how to start. But my sadness over Sophie's boring...

From My Life In Singapore, 4 month ago, Similar articles
Recently we had the privilege of visiting the Marina Bay City Gallery on the south side of Marina Bay here in Singapore. It is worth visiting if you have not yet done so. Certainly for a better understanding of where Marina Bay - and its attractions - are situated and the future growth of the area. (above image 'borrowed' from their website ... this banner will make it easier for you to recognise where it is.)Check their website and browse the interactive Fun Finder, get inspired on how...
both the two of us
From Separated by a common language, 5 month ago, Similar articles
Jeremy H wrote me the following: I have noticed two usages which, in England, seem familiar only to journalists. One was in a headline in the Mail today: "This port ain't big enough for the both of us". I have never heard "the both" uttered in BrE. The other is "You and me both". Starting with the both: I think of the AmE expression as 'this town ain't big enough for the two of us', and indeed two outnumbers both by about 17:4 in the context [adjective] enough for the ___ of [pronoun] in...
Floods Approach Bangkok from the North (*ouch*)
From Street Smart Sukhumvit, 5 month ago, Similar articles
I woke up today to this headline in the Bangkok Post:"Flooding Concerns Turn to Bangkok" (read the original article HERE).It basically says the floods that have been wreaking havoc in so many provinces are coming closer and closer to Bangkok.

It rains almost every...

I couldn't call this post Iota's summer holiday top tips for entertaining children: Part IV for reasons which will become apparent. This last item was in a box of my own stuff. It's a copy of The Sun newspaper, dated Saturday October 19th 1985 - a month or so before my 21st birthday.
