Fab! I love the old movies! I only wish we had a way to enjoy old Broadway shows in the same way.

Sir, it is done…the Evidence Audio Lyric HG for the first time connected my soul to every note I played. It shines with single coils of my Strats and Tele and makes my Les Paul sound extremely massive. The sparkle and nuances of each strings with single coils are so vivid, 3 dimensional and for a brief moment you can see with your ears how they are suspended in layers as they leave the speakers and join the stars in the universe. A ahh…the seperation of every sound as I scrape my faux tortoise pick against each string like a thousand Stradivarius playing in tandem. This is my evaluation after 10 hours of playing. Downside, it amplifies the noise of my Custom Texas Specials Tele pick ups but a small price to pay for the musical nirvana with the Lyric HG. In their own rights, the Mogami Platinum and the Analysis Plus Yellow cable are great cables…but the Lyric HG has no equal yet. I am in the process of upgrading all pedal cables with Lyric HG and Siren II on the amps to speaker cabinets. I am anticipating a sound as massive as a cathedral but delicate as an exotic orchid. TOTALLY UNBELIEVABLE but now I have joined the thousands of believers.

Peace

Comment on The Odwalla Superfood Bar Review by jeff

i’d like to go on record by saying these Odwalla Superfood Bars taste quite good. and incidentally, my reaction upon opening the wrapper was one of delight, that, discovering its hue to be as green as it was, i knew it surely must, indeed, contain every one of those claimed 500 mgs of Spirulina.

Thanks for the extra detail! I agree that using cut scenes in class are helpful to teaching and understanding.

(oops, hit post on accident)…if they recently worked with film noir the teacher could say “watch for representations of film noir in this scene” or “remember what we said about expressionism.” Also, I’m in the field of German Studies, so it allows the teacher to explain lingual (vocab/expressions) and cultural elements.

Well in considering undergraduate education (I certainly hope that graduate film seminars wouldn’t show entire films in class, but stranger things have happened), perhaps a few reasons. One, as you mentioned, it’s a no-work approach to teaching, which I find tragic. Second, film is like other texts, in the sense that students won’t always watch the film outside of class, but will rather read a synopsis online. In-class viewing ensures (provided the students pay attention) that the text is ‘read,’ so to say. Also, it allocates a space for the teacher to provide brief commentary during the film. Maybe if the class recently worked with film noir

Thanks for the comment! Why do you think so many film courses show the movies in class instead of requiring off-class viewing?

I agree entirely. Class should be a time of dialogue with the text.
