![]() ![]() Start your rose flower drawing by making 3 general outlines: for the rosebud make a circle, for the hip and sepals make an oval, and for the steam draw a slightly curved double line along the central axis. *For the best results download and print our rose-drawing step-by-step template ( scroll down to the end of this post to download) Step 1 Now it’s time to get your drawing paper and pencils to learn how to draw a rose flower *Read more about the rose flower structure here. (Rosehips are my favorites! Why? Read here…) The leaflets closest to the rosebud usually have 3 leaves while the rest of the leaflets may consist of 5 or even 7 leaves closer to the base of the steam. Roses don’t have single leaves growing directly from the steam. Most commonly, roses with multiple rows of petals have 3-5 petals per row. A single rose flower may have from 5 to 50 petals depending on the particular type. Note that roses have 5 (five) sepals.īefore a rose flower opens, all petals are hidden behind sepals. As a flower opens, the sepals turn down and may eventually be hidden by the flower. Sepals are green, leaf-like coverings that protect the rosebud before it blooms. If you managed to learn how to write then you already know the system – repeat, repeat, repeat…īefore we actually start drawing a rose flower let’s learn some useful facts about the rose parts that we’ll be dealing with in our exercises. It is very similar to how small children learn to write letters. Keep in mind that each time you repeat your rose flower drawing exercise, you’ll be getting better and better. Drawing rose flowers takes practice, patience, and a bit of information about the parts of this beautiful flower.įor practicing we provide a free downloadable PDF template with step-by-step drawing instructions. In our tutorial, we also use a grid frame to make the first step of sketching a rose’s outlines easier to position it on the canvas. Using simple initial shapes for drawing a rose has been the traditional way of learning to draw this beautiful flower. In this “How to draw a rose” step-by-step guide we tried to make the rose flower drawing process easy enough to follow even for complete beginners yet not excessively oversimplified. Drawing a rose presents a few challenges for beginners.

Important applications installed by default It is possible that it may not happen with every PPA software initially, but it will happen, eventually. No PPA(Personal Package Archive) – adding a PPA to your sources and then installing software from a PPA is a great way to break your install. Also, the latest version of Mint will not be based on the latest version of Ubuntu: it is invariably one or two releases behind. Although it is based on Ubuntu, Mint differs in many ways from its sibling, so not everything out there for Ubuntu will work with Mint.So if your machine is particularly old and you can’t upgrade it then you may be better off with something else instead. Mint is too large and requires a reasonably capable machine to run effectively.So, if you like to keep up with the latest technologies or flashy desktops, then you may be better suited to a distro such as Fedora instead. Mint has a conservative approach to new technologies.It’s safe and reliable, Linux Mint requires very little maintenance (no regressions, no antivirus, no anti-spyware…etc) because of a conservative approach to software updates, a unique Update Manager and a robust architecture.It is based on Debian and Ubuntu and it provides about 30,000 packages and one of the best software managers.This is done so that we can make use of their ideas to improve Linux Mint. Here users are encouraged to send feedback to the project. It’s both free of cost and open source.It works out of the box by providing full multimedia support and is extremely easy to use.Pros and Cons of Linux Mint Let us have a look at a few pros of using Linux Mint. If it isn’t compatible, you will just get an error message. You can try to boot Linux Mint 64-bit on your computer. If you have an old computer and you are unsure whether or not it can run in 64-bit, read X86 Chronology. If your computer was manufactured after 2007, you probably have a 64-bit processor. 32-bit processors are extremely rare nowadays and most computers are able to run in 64-bit. The 32-bit ISO images are provided for compatibility with older computers. All three of them have their own audience within the Linux Mint community and they’re all very popular. Try them all eventually when you have the time. If you are unsure which desktop to choose start with the Cinnamon edition. It doesn’t support as many features as Cinnamon or MATE, but it’s extremely stable and very light on resource usage. Xfce is a lightweight desktop environment. Although it misses a few features and its development is slower than Cinnamon’s, MATE runs faster, uses fewer resources and is more stable than Cinnamon. Linux Mint is also involved in the development of MATE, a classic desktop environment which is the continuation of GNOME 2, Linux Mint’s default desktop between 20. It is slick, beautiful, and full of new features. Cinnamon is primarily developed for and by Linux Mint. The most popular version of Linux Mint is the Cinnamon edition. The most modern, innovative and full-featured desktop Linux Mint comes in 3 different flavors, each featuring a different desktop environment. Linux Mint provides Long-Term Support (LTS) releases which are normally supported for a duration of 5 years. User feedback is very important and it is used to consistently improve the quality of Linux Mint. The design of Linux Mint is very comfortable and easy to use but at the same time, it is also powerful and configurable.Įverything is done to make the user experience better. Like typical Linux distributions, Linux Mint includes an integrated and pre-installed application suite and provides the ability to search, download and install additional applications through its application package manager utility. Linux Mint’s core difference is its user interface and ease of interactivity. It is one of the most popular desktop Linux distributions that millions of people currently use. Linux Mint is a free and open-source operating system designed for use on desktop computers. It strives to be a modern, elegant and comfortable operating system which is powerful as well as easy to use. Linux Mint is a community-driven Linux distribution that is based on Ubuntu. The topics that we are going to cover are as follows – So in this blog, we are going to discuss about the Linux Mint in detail. Linux Mint has been around since the year 2006 and has grown and matured into a very user-friendly OS. Linux Mint is the first operating system that people from Windows or Mac are drawn towards when they have to switch to Linux in their work environment. ![]() News: You shouldn’t have to search for the news it should come to you.In the future we’ll also help you understand why certain videos perform better than others so you can adapt your plans for future videos. ![]() Personalized Recommendations: Here we'll surface Creator Academy content based on the specific needs of your channel.Previously, you had to pull this data from multiple sources and calculate it on your own.

This information can also help guide your content strategy, and showcase your true reach when discussing brand deals and sponsorships. You can use this data to compare your audience size to your subscriber base, and identify videos that helped reach a wider audience. Whether they watch on desktop, mobile phone or watched more than one of your videos, that person will count as one unique viewer. Unique viewers Unique viewers shows the estimated number of different people who watch your videos over a period of time. For more best practices, we recommend you read this help center article. This metric can help you make more informed decisions on how to optimize your titles and thumbnails, especially when you look at how this metric changes between past videos. For example, effective thumbnails and titles that attract your target audience may drive this rate up. Different factors affect your click-through rate. Impressions click-through rate We’re also adding Impressions click-through rate, which shows you the percentage of your impressions on YouTube that turned into views. This help center article describes in detail what is and isn’t included in the impressions metric. It’s important to note that the impression metric only reflects impressions generated by your thumbnails on YouTube, including thumbnails on the homepage, subscription feed, search, and “up next” section. Impressions tell you the potential reach of your content on YouTube, since each impression is an opportunity to earn a view. Impressions An Impression is counted when a viewer on YouTube sees one of your video thumbnails. A couple of weeks after that they will be available in Creator Studio Classic. ![]() These new metrics are rolling out to a small group of creators today and will be available to everyone in YouTube Studio within a few weeks. Moving forward, you’ll see three new metrics in YouTube Analytics – Impressions, Impressions click-through rate, and Unique Viewers – that give a deeper understanding of your reach on YouTube. New ways for creators to understand their reach on YouTube YouTube Studio’s most anticipated features include three new metrics that will give you better understanding of how your videos perform, and an all new Dashboard that shows you personalized news and information for your channel.

Lefty knows a good person when he meets one and he knows a good book when he reads it. Lefty over the years has spoken to me highly of Andy Mill and he speaks highly of Andy and the book in the Introduction. The Introduction is by my dear friend Lefty Kreh who we all know. I was proud for Andy to read the President’s kind words and kudos for him. Bush, a personal friend of Andy’s and a passionate tarpon angler himself. The forward is written by President George H. There were many contributors to help make this wonderful book what it is, too many to mention here, so check the credits. The incredible tarpon fly photos were taken by Ted Fauceglia. There were lots of others too, who contributed incredible images, many of them historical, taking us well back into fly-fishing for tarpon’s long history. They depict flats tarpon fishing like none others I’ve even seen. I had to do just like we all do – quickly thumb through it to check out all the incredible photos most of which were taken by photographer extraordinaire, Pat Ford. I haven’t read the book entirely yet but I’m well into by now. Man I was like a kid who had gotten exactly what he had prayed for on Christmas day! I was instantly on it like a tarpon on a Toad! I’ve never met the man face-to-face but I’ve certainly heard of him knew of what he does so well and have heard nothing but praise of him from my close friends, the likes of Lefty Kreh and other such notables. His note was warm and endearing and it made me feel as though we had been close friends a long time. Inside the front cover was a card from Andy with a personal note that was more than just a few obligatory words. It was a gift, something totally unexpected – a gift of Andy Mill’s new book “A Passion for Tarpon”. ![]() Was I surprised and pleased when I opened it, for it contained something of great value, benefit and certainly would engender a keen sense of pride of ownership. Upon closer inspection though, I recognized the name Tom Pero and the addressee was me. Hmmm, I wondered, must be something Cindy or my Mother-in-law had ordered since I couldn’t recall my purchasing anything on-line lately. There was a fairly large express mail box sitting on top of the mail stack. Once I got him settled I opened the door to pick up the mail.

Ski legend Andy Mill popped in the shop recently, and something he said really stuck with us: “Nowadays, we’ll never be as good as our equipment.”Īndy literally wrote the book on tarpon fishing (“A Passion for Tarpon,” Wild River Press), and this is so true, especially now. ![]() Given the price (around $200,000 for the really big ones IIRC) you need to run a lot of skis through to make it pay.I don't do it anymore but for a couple of years I handled accounting for an Austrian company that had the tuning contract with VR. Tune quality is important but not as important as quantity. The machines even have a setting specifically for rentals. Like jwolter said, the big, automated machines are designed for shops that tune a lot of skis, particularly a lot of rental skis. ![]() Go to SIA.you'll find out all you need to know about tuning machines, and then some. So IME some random shop idiot(s) who couldn't organize their shop did an amazing job in 10 min once they remembered to load the skis & push the button I laugh and yell "you forgot to do them again!" which really pissed him off cuz then he gets all uppity, which is ironic cuz I am the one who should be pissed off but instead I'm just pissed to the gills on free beer, buddy tells me I could come back (ya right) or wait for my skis so I wait what seems to be 10min and they came out of the machine looking perfect and they now ski perfect, I could not have done as good a job by hand The next day buddy hands me back my skis which are not done but somehow made it into the "done" rack, buddy sez come back in 45 min, no worries I just wander down the street to the weasel tent and stumble back 3 hrs later, hurry up and wait I am standing in the shop needing to piss badly so I ask to use the can, wander thru the shop where buddy is caught in the act. very important cuz I only brought one pair of skis. I have a pair of foam core BD verdicts (atomic) that came railed/concave base so I jumped at the 1/2 price stone grinds for racers and course workers at the whistler DH, so on my day off I leave my skis at this shop where I am told my skis will be done tomorrow no problem. The positive thing about the big auto machines in the state of Colorado is that the machine did not just return from their Rec64 work break. Many shop owners feel they don't need good hand tuners once their new shinny machine arrives at their front door. If the shop has a big auto machine then you might want to question if they even try to hire experienced tuners in that back shop anymore. Shop for the most experienced people, not machines when looking for the best tune at your local ski area. The big machines are perfect for large rental/demo operations based on volume, the machines don't spend too much time thinking about any one skis needs, just like most of the large rental shop employees.Īgain, with the right operators all machines (even old ones) can produce very good tunes.Ī bigger and newer machines is no guarantee that your skis will be prepared correctly for your day. They develop a feel for the local conditions. The best tuners work on knowledge gained from past experiences. The correct edge sharpness changes every couple of days at most big mountains. A good tuner knows the current conditions and knows how to produce the right edge sharpness for the current local conditions. The real test of a good tune shop is how consistently the edges are finished, and their wax choice for the day. ![]() ![]() Also look for real wax scrapping on the floor (you might just be amazed at how many shops refuse to hot wax skis with an iron anymore.). The easiest way to tell if you're in a good ski service shop: Look in the back room and see if the space is taken up by one big machine, or if the shop has a few different machines in use and also have work benches where the skis are finished by hand after the grinding process. Your tuners (actual people) will never learn ski observation skills/hand tuning skills.Įvery ski town has one or two shops that have excellent service shops. Most all of the skis are over tuned in automated grinding machines which can dramatically shorten the life of those skis. This method of speed grinding over heats the bases of the skis and changes the base quality unless the proper finishing of the ski is performed after the grinding. The auto machine use higher stone speeds and higher weight/grinding pressure to take off the most material in the least amount of passes. The tuner (if there even is a person who actually knows how to tune skis.) is not looking closely at the ski to see what is needed to complete the service, and more importantly what is not needed. They are all about speed of the tune up, not about the quality of the tune. The automated machines grind too much off the ski. After a few years of shop turnover who is now the expert on this very specific machine? Most shops go through ski back shop employees faster than they go through soft wax on a warm sticky spring day. If the auto machine is operated correctly, then it can turn out a very good tune. ![]() Having said that, I would recommend you to go with either Asus or Acer Chromebox if you want the i5 variant. Both have 32GB of SSD storage, but the Celeron one comes with 4GB of RAM and the i5 variant is packed with 8GB of RAM. HP offers two Chromeboxes: one with Celeron and another one with the 7th-gen Intel Core i5 processor. However, if you want the i7 variant, the steep price may disappoint you. All in all, I would say the Celeron variant is quite good for the money and you should check that out. Apart from that, both the models come with WiFi, Bluetooth, plenty of USB Type-A ports, HDMI and of course, Ethernet port. Not to mention, the i7 variant has 8GB of RAM so if you are a power user, that should suffice for running multiple Chrome and Linux apps at once. It has 32GB of SSD storage, but you can expand it internally and can also insert a microSD card. That’s really great, right? However, if you want a powerful Chromebox then you can take a look at its 8th-gen i7 variant. It comes with 128GB of onboard SSD storage and 4GB of RAM. If you are looking for a Chromebox with large SSD storage then I would recommend the Celeron variant of CTL Chromebox. All in all, the Asus Chromebox 3 seems like a well-rounded Chromebox and you should definitely consider this tiny machine.īuy from Amazon: Starts at $260.38 3. Not to mention, you also have HDMI, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.2 and a Gigabit LAN port. As for ports, you get 5 Type-A and one Type C port and both of them are based on the USB 3.1 standard. Talking about memory, the Celeron and i3 models have 4GB of DDR4 RAM whereas i5 and i7 have 8GB of DDR4 RAM. However, bear in mind, you can’t upgrade the internal storage like Windows PCs. All of the variants are packed with 32GB of SSD storage and have support for microSD cards. The Asus Chromebox 3 comes in four major configs which include 7th-gen Celeron, i3, i5, and i7. If you are looking for Chromeboxes having powerful specs and I/O ports, you can take a look at the Asus Chromebox 3. It’s among the few companies still making some great Chromeboxes. Simply put, the new Chrome OS machines by Acer are one of the best Chromeboxes available now and you should not give them a miss.Īsus is another Chromebox manufacturer who is giving a tough competition to Acer. As for the connectivity, it comes with Bluetooth 4.2, WiFi and Gigabit LAN. On all the models, you get 5 Type-A ports, 1 Type C port, 1 HDMI port, 1 microSD card slot and 1 DisplayPort over USB Type C. Other than that, you have 64GB of SSD storage on all three models and plenty of ports to offer. That’s one beefy Chromebox and I love it. On the memory front as well, you get 8GB of DDR4 RAM for i3 and i5 variants whereas a humongous 16GB of DDR4 RAM for the i7 variant particularly. The best part is that all of the variants are running the 8th-gen Intel Core chips which should translate to better performance and battery efficiency. Last year, Acer released three variants of its newest Chromebox: i3, i5, and i7 models. It brings new Chromeboxes with the latest internals and moderate pricing. When it comes to Chromeboxes, Acer has been creating some of the best machines in the past few years.

In 1959 his Quartet premiered and recorded his brother Howard’s “ Dialogues for Jazz Combo and Orchestra” with the New York Philharmonic, Leonard Bernstein conducting. Throughout his career Brubeck experimented with integrating jazz into classical forms. Choreographed by Lar Lubovitch, “Elemental Brubeck” is currently in the repertoire of the San Francisco Ballet and several other dance companies. His first orchestral composition, “ Elementals“, written for an improvising jazz combo and symphony orchestra was premiered and recorded in 1962. To everyone’s surprise “ Time Out” became the first jazz album to sell over a million copies and “Blue Rondo a la Turk” and “ Take Five” (now in the Grammy Hall of Fame) began to appear on jukeboxes throughout the world.Įarly in his career Brubeck wrote primarily for this Quartet, and some of those pieces, such as “ In Your Own Sweet Way” and “ The Duke” became part of standard jazz repertoire. The 1959 recording “ Time Out” experimented in time signatures beyond the usual jazz 4/4. Exposure to many different cultures was reflected in the group’s repertoire that sometimes incorporated exotic elements. State Department sponsored the Quartet’s performances in Poland, India, Turkey, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran and Iraq. In 1958 the Quartet made their first of many international tours. In 1954 Dave Brubeck’s portrait appeared on the cover of Time Magazine with a story about the jazz renaissance and Brubeck’s phenomenal ascendancy. The Dave Brubeck Quartet repeatedly won top honors in trade magazines and critic’s and reader’s polls. The group played in jazz clubs in every major city and toured in package shows with such artists as Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Stan Getz. The Quartet’s audiences were not limited to students, however. The Dave Brubeck Quartet’s recordings and concert appearances on college campuses in the ‘50s and early ‘60s introduced jazz to thousands of young people. The legendary Brubeck-Desmond collaboration lasted seventeen years and beyond. After suffering a near fatal diving accident in 1951, Dave formed the Dave Brubeck Quartet with alto saxophonist Paul Desmond, who was also a member of the Octet. In 1949, Brubeck with Cal Tjader and Ron Crotty, fellow Octet members, cut their first award-winning Dave Brubeck Trio recordings. ![]() This cross-genre experimentation with like-minded Milhaud students led to the formation of the Dave Brubeck Octet in 1947. Milhaud encouraged him to pursue a career in jazz and to incorporate jazz elements into his compositions. After his discharge from military service in 1946, he enrolled at Mills College in Oakland, California to study composition with French composer, Darius Milhaud. While serving in Patton’s Army in Europe, he led a racially integrated band. Graduating in 1942, he enlisted in the Army, and shortly thereafter married Iola Whitlock, a fellow student at Pacific. While working his way through school as a pianist in local nightclubs, the lure of jazz became irresistible and he changed his major to music. When he enrolled at the College of the Pacific, in Stockton, California, his intention was to study veterinary medicine and return to the ranch. When he was 14, he started playing in local dance bands on weekends. He worked with his father on the 45,000 acre cattle ranch. ![]() Piano lessons ended and cowboy life began. He was 12 when his father moved the family to a cattle ranch in the foothills of the Sierras. With a career that spanned over six decades, his experiments in odd time signatures, improvised counterpoint, polyrhythm and polytonality remain hallmarks of innovation.īorn into a musical family in Concord, California - his two older brothers were also professional musicians - he began piano lessons with his mother at age four. Dave Brubeck, designated a “Living Legend” by the Library of Congress, was one of the most active and popular musicians in both the jazz and classical worlds. |
