HQ - Dressing "Marina Orlova", (www.hotforwords.com), is a short skit using online pictures and music. Actually made with MSWMM and regular MSPaint for picture cropping. I exported these three movies using either 2Mbps, 1Mbps & 384Kbps, (HQ, RQ & LQ respectfully). I don't see a large difference from one to the other, and am unsure iF YouTube stores them any different. This is a link to the same movie on another site: http://www.mydeo.com/videorequest.asp?XID=32248&CID=226523. It seems to be quite good quality there. I like to goof off on the computer and have gotten the video bug again. If you notice, it has been about a year ago that I last tried this, without much improvement. So if any of you 'videophiles' out there, feel free to critique any of my work, it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Quarter Till Dawn.

Why the description desription description?

The fourteen Stations of the Cross -- sometimes known devotionally as the Via Dolorosa -- are visual meditations primarily on the passion and suffering experienced by Christ. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The scenes, normally found inside a church and less so in the open, are specific to Catholics who use the illustrations as visual reminders. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ While the stories narrated by each station have various amounts of truths, and the exact locations are not exactly known, what is important is the spiritual meaning. The stations, for example, show three scenes in which Christ falls, but there is no evidence that he fell exactly three times as depicted, much less that He ever fell at all; It's only surmised that he must have fallen, and more than once, from the great suffering that He withstood during the passion. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ And while there is absolutely no evidence, either physical or Biblical that a woman by the name of Veronica, for example, existed, much less that she pressed the cloth against Jesus' head -- to capture the impression of His face from his blood and sweat -- the metaphysical message of Veronica's deed serves to offers fictive proof to the believer,. who already believes in the occurrence from reading about it, that she not only witnessed Christ's passage on the Via Dolorosa (which, as a real street, by the way, has never been found), but also gave "history," by means of that cloth, some fictive evidence that He existed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Biblical scholars and etymologists theorize that the origin of the word "Veronica" can be traced back to two Latin words: "Vero," meaning "true" in Latin, and "icon," meaning "image" in Latin, hence "true image." Veronica is holding the true image of Christ. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ When Simon carries the cross, in another example, it's neither important that there ever was a Simon nor that he carried the cross. But, if such an event had actually occurred, a Roman official could very well have randomly plucked from the crowd a strong-enough-looking person, most likely a male, and pressed him into service to carry the cross. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The mystical interpretation is that he willingly took on the cross for Christ and serves as an example of one devout believer doing the service of furthering Christ message, while a real-world interpretation is that the Roman guard just wanted to speedily get to the location of the crucifixion. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ What matters is what he and his deed has come to represent to Catholics. Of course, it's not important to the believer that this snippet of devotional history be anchored in true, evidentiary history. No, what is important is the quality of one's spiritual quest, and the belief in the strength of the mystical message that it is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In fact, this popular story was not developed by the Church hierarchy, no, it sprang from the spiritual needs of the non-ecclesiastic, the non-priest, the parishioner, the normal believer who likes stories that are illustrated, and the Stations offer yet another wonderful, illustrative tale in Church lore that fortifies a person's Catholic Christian faith. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The musical score is Messe "Tu es Petrus": Gloria

LINO PATRUNO "The World is Waiting for the Sunrise" Lino Patruno (banjo) Mauro Battisti (bass) Carlo Battisti (drums). Rimini 1993 http://www.linopatruno.it http://www.cambiamusica.it http://www.michaelsupnick.com The banjo is a stringed instrument developed by enslaved Africans in the United States, adapted from several African instruments. The name banjo commonly is thought to be derived from the Kimbundu term mbanza. Some etymologists derive it from a dialectal pronunciation of "bandore", though recent research suggests that it may come from a Senegambian term for the bamboo stick used for the instrument's neck. African Slaves in the American South and Appalachia fashioned the earliest banjos after instruments they had been familiar with in Africa, with some of the earliest instruments sometimes referred to now as "gourd banjos". One example would be an akonting. It is a spike folk lute played by the Jola tribe of Senegambia. Another similar instrument is the xalam of Senegal which dates back to ancient Egypt. The modern banjo was popularized by the American minstrel performer Joel Sweeney in the 1830s. Banjos were introduced in Britain in the 1840s by Sweeney's group, the American Virginia Minstrels, and became very popular in music halls. The modern banjo comes in a variety of forms, including four-(plectrum and tenor banjos) and five-string versions. A six-string version, tuned and played similar to a guitar, is gaining popularity. In almost all of its forms the banjo's playing is characterised by a fast strumming or arpeggiated right hand, although there are many different playing styles. Today, the banjo commonly is associated with country and bluegrass music. Historically, however, the banjo occupied a central place in African American traditional music, as well as in the minstrel shows of the 19th century. In fact, African Americans exerted a strong, early influence on the development of both country and bluegrass through the introduction of banjo, and as well through the innovation of musical techniques in the playing of both the banjo and fiddle. Recently, the banjo has enjoyed inclusion in a wide variety of musical genres, including pop crossover music. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banjo

BALCONYTV.COM 15/04/2007 PRESENTED BY TOM MILLETT The banjo is a stringed instrument of African American origin adapted from several African instruments. Africans in the American South and Appalachia fashioned the earliest banjos after instruments they had been familiar with in Africa, with some of the earliest instruments sometimes being called "gourd banjos". One predecessor to the banjo is called the "Akonting." It is a spike folk lute played by the Jola tribe of Senegambia. The name banjo commonly is thought to be derived from the Kimbundu term mbanza.

Recently, the banjo has enjoyed inclusion in a wide variety of musical genres, including pop crossover music. The modern banjo comes in a variety of different forms, including four- (plectrum and tenor banjos) and five-string versions. A six-string version, tuned and played similar to a guitar, is gaining popularity. In almost all of its forms the banjo's playing is characterised by a fast strumming or arpeggiated right hand, although there are many different playing styles. The banjo consists of a wooden or metal rim with a plastic polyester (PET film) or calf or goat skin drumhead stretched across it, a neck mounted on the side of the rim, a tailpiece mounted opposite the neck, four or five strings, and a bridge. The woods used in construction vary, but are often combinations of maple, walnut, and ebony for fingerboards, pegheads, and the tops of bridges. In the five-string banjo, the fifth peg is normally on the side of the neck, although some English versions (the Zither banjo) mount the fifth string tuner on the tuning head with the others, and route the string through a tube in the neck where it exits near the fifth fret. The earliest banjos were unfretted, like the African instruments that inspired them, but most banjos today are fretted. Banjo strings are most commonly metal, although nylon and gut can be used on some banjos, especially those played in the classical style. The two most common modern day acoustic banjos are the resonator banjo which has a detachable chamber, or resonator, on the back of the rim and the open back banjo which does not have a resonator. There are also solid body electric banjos; one such banjo, the Crossfire (manufactured by Deering), has two powerful magnetic pickups under the drumhead. A metal footed bridge ensures that pickups draw sound from both the strings and the head. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banjo Tune in again tomorrow!!!
