appealing elements far grasp tonal
There are some elements that are tonal and some are not. But nothing so far out you can't grasp it. It's appealing music.
accurately crucial develop essential features finding hallmark handle high intricate kinds mammals maps mode perception quickly resolution sensory system vision whatever
Our finding suggests that high resolution sensory maps that can quickly and accurately handle many different kinds of sensory features are an essential hallmark of high sensory acuity, in whatever mode of perception is most important to the animal. It makes sense that mammals develop intricate sensory maps in the sensory system that is crucial for them--like vision is for us or the whisker system is for rodents.
artistic artists copy creating everybody good great knows lack problems quite studio tough
Our artists are very good technicians. They have sensibility and artistic balance. But quite often they lack in creation. I have one artist here in my studio in New York. She's a good painter, but she has problems of creating her own stuff, of inventing. She can copy from a postcard, but when she has to do other things she has a tough time. She knows it. Not everybody can do great things.
active classes help hopefully involved mother music role serve students teach
My mother is very active and involved with the tribe, so I can't help but be involved, too. I go back when I can to teach music classes with middle-school students and hopefully serve as a role model.
attending baptized church concerned family mainly raised sundays watching
I was baptized Methodist, but I was mainly raised First Church of NFL, which is to say that my family, especially my father, was much more concerned with watching football on Sundays than attending services.
basis males
I think beta males on an evolutionary basis are much more successful than the alpha males are. You don't hear much about us, but there's a lot more of us out there.
art christ dealing life themes vampire vehicle
You know, a vampire book is not a book to be the vehicle for big themes and stuff, where sometimes when you're dealing with art or the life of Christ or the oeuvre of Shakespeare, you know, it's a little more ambitious.
added bell dislike hemingway imitate level mainly moved ruined stylistic time tried whom writers
I kind of dislike 'For Whom the Bell Tolls,' but most of Hemingway in general, mainly because his stylistic shenanigans ruined so many young writers of my generation who tried to imitate him. I think, for his time, he moved fiction to a different level stylistically, or at least added to the dialogue, but in our time, he's annoying.

benefit care center community diabetes looking major matter means nearest people puts receive spotlight state
What this means is, if someone from another state is looking for the nearest Joslin Diabetes Center for care, they can come to Las Vegas. This is a major benefit to the community because it puts diabetes in the spotlight here, and people will get better care because of that spotlight no matter where they receive treatment.
beginning capture catch eye few painted painting purely reasons script selected start using visual
There's one painting that historically would have been better, ... because it was painted at the beginning of the Impressionist movement, and the one we're using is painted later. In the script they say, 'This is a very important painting because it was painted at start of the Impressionists,' and that's not really true. It was painted a few years later. But they selected the painting for purely visual reasons -- that they would capture better on camera, that it was more appealing, that it would catch the eye better.
alone career early gets goes life pick projects realize room spend time unless
As an author, you spend a lot of time by yourself in a room making clicky noises. It gets pretty insulated. You realize pretty early on in your career that even if this goes well, you could spend all your life in a room alone. Unless you pick projects that are going to get you out doing things, you're not going to actually live your life.
boarding educated era learned music opposed shipped time took tribal white
The Sousa era was also the same time as the boarding-school era when the Oneidas were shipped off (to be educated in white ways, as opposed to the tribal ways). They learned the Sousa music and took it back with them when they were done with boarding school.

It was a catastrophe, of course. We had no clients, no nothing. Nobody understood the idea of doing reproductions.
