Even if creative and enjoyable lives are something with an SEO-friendly title would only accessible to the privileged, that’s not be a good idea. And I thought this was a a damning fact about them so much as it is pretty interesting essay by the Jacobin‘s an indictment of a society that has so much Peter Frase, about misguided hatred for the wealth and yet only allows a select few to take “hipster on food stamps” discussed in this advantage of it, while others are forced to Salon piece from March. He points out how waste their lives chained to their useless that phraseology invites contempt, because jobs and bloated mortgages. it trades on the idea that anyone who is arty and “creative” obviously has cultural capital The working-class Joe’s hatred for the and other ideological resources that should hipster, Frase argues, stems from an prevent him from being poor. Therefore the ideology that perverts the work ethic and impoverished hipster must simply be a slacker regards art-making as worthless and working- (to reference a 90s-era proto-hipster archetype) class drudgery as a heroic embrace of duty who is voluntarily destitute, slumming it or something. Maybe so. The working class for hipster cred, thereby abusing a system suspicion toward the would-be bohemian fringe designed to help the deserving poor, i.e. those certainly has a long history. For example, check social disadvantaged folks who, as Neil Young out the end of this clip from the 1968 film put it, “never go to school, never get to fall in Psych Out, where the hippies are mocked and love, never get to be cool”. menaced by Reagan Democrat types. And as Mark Greif of n+1 reminds us in this People see others whom they perceive to essay, the 2000s vintage hipster began by have lives that are easier, cooler or more fun appropriating motifs from poor-white culture. than theirs, and instead of questioning the “Let me recall a string of keywords: trucker society that gave them their lot, they demand hats; undershirts called ‘wifebeaters,’ worn conformity and misery out of others. But alone; the aesthetic of basement rec-room

A better title What that process does is make “creativity” for this post, something that by definition is not accessible I think, would be to the working class. The appropriators are lauded as “creative” (that is, they seize “Artists Only” upon the symbolic usefulness of deracinated practices and bring that meaning value pornography, flash-lit Polaroids, and fake- to a broader public), not the poor whites, wood paneling; Pabst Blue Ribbon; ‘porno’ who are treated as though they are some or ‘pedophile’ mustaches; aviator glasses; anthropological artifact, as though they Americana T-shirts from church socials and fundamentally lack the ability to be reflexive pig roasts; tube socks; the late albums of about what they do.

Starving artists are not proles. The very ability to be recognized Obviously, those thefts belittle and caricature as “creative” already sets one apart and an entire social group’s lived experience, above. Rich or poor, hipsters everywhere ironizing it, cutting away whatever integrity are a sign of social expropriation, of the members of that group might feel about semiotic value of denying full humanity to what they do from beneath their feet.

Vertical Gardens Raise the bar... There is nothing more beautiful than seeing a sea of flowers in your garden but if you don’t have room for traditional garden beds, why not grow your flowers upwards by using vertical gardening. Here are our tips to help you get the most flowers possible, so that you are looking out onto a hanging oasis. Fertilizing is the Key To help your plants to thrive and thus produce the maximum amount of flowers, you need to make sure that you keep the nutrients up. Depending on the type of vertical garden you have, this can be as simple as adding slow release fertiliser to the soil. Otherwise, if your garden uses mainly water, you can mix nutrient solutions in the water to ensure that your flowers are well fed. Locate the Vertical Garden Correctly Plants need plenty of sunlight to flower properly but at the same time, you don’t want them to have too much sunlight as the plants may get too hot and the soil will dry out. Look for a wall that gets around six hours of full sunlight a day if possible - a north or north easterly aspect is ideal. If you don’t have an ideal wall, make sure that you select plants that can handle the amount of sunlight that the wall gets, as well as the amount of heat that the wall reflects. homeimprovementpages.com

& Your Green Thumb Perform Maintenance Regularly While vertical gardening is one of the lowest maintenance forms of gardening, there are some tasks that you will still need to do in order to maximise flowering. The first is dead heading – removing flowers once that have started to wilt and die. Doing this will encourage more flowers to grow. After each flowering season, you should also prune your plants back according to instructions given with your plants. If your plants are annuals, you will likely have to replace them yearly – keep this in mind when selecting them. Choose the Right Types of Plants If you are growing a vertical garden for the primary purpose of getting lots of flowers, it is worth taking the time to select your plants carefully. Your first consideration should be to choose flowering plants that are likely to thrive in your garden’s aspect. The next is to consider the plant’s root system -- you don’t want something that is too vigorous or that develops a large root system. Some flowering plants that do really well in vertical gardens include climbing roses, miniature roses, petunias, marigolds, pansies, sweet pea, nasturtiums, jasmine, wisteria, daisies and so on. Also try and group together plants that have similar watering requirements as this will make keeping the plants healthy so much easier.

HerA DAY IN S H O E S An Interview with art director, Andrea Wagner HILARY SANS Your face to face with someone who’s shoes you would love to walk in, what do you say? What would you ask them? Throughout your lifetime, you meet a vast variety of people. Some that you come across just fade in and drift out, but some that you come across make an impact in your life. Recently, I went on an adventure to find someone that I could learn from in hopes to bettering my future. I wanted to collect information that wouldn’t just sit in the back of my head, but information that I could really utilize and make great use of. Who would have thought that a conversation like this could have taken pace at a coffee shop? I met Andrea Wagner, an art director, at Starbuck’s for a talk about how she got to where she is today and what I could do to achieve the most out of the world of design. There it was in front of me, Starbuck’s cafe. I was plenty early waiting with two coffees in hand, in order to make a great impression. While waiting, I was gathering my thoughts of what to say when the guest of honor arrived. I was so sure that I would know who she was as soon as I saw her walk through those cafe doors. After waiting patiently for about fifteen minutes I took a sip from my coffee and then glanced up to see a sharp pair of heels clicking toward me. Those shoes were so clean cut with 34 Opportunity Magazine

Those shoes had to fit no other position than that of an art director an edginess to them. No other shoes like that would be found on someone casual or someone average. Those shoes had to fit no other position than that of an art director, Art director Andrea Wagner to be exact. The heels approached me and stopped briskly as I said “Andrea?”, and by the bright look in her face I knew that it was her. I was more than ready to soak up every word. Choked up? I was a bit nervous, of course. I’d never been face to face with someone who lived a lifestyle that I could see myself living one day. I was excited and eager, and I didn’t know where to start. The coffee! Offer her the coffee, I thought quickly in my head. A bit shaky, I spilt my own coffee luckily missing my clean, white, button-up shirt. What a great start, let’s hop this didn’t lead to a spiral of my own mishaps. I laughed it off and she also found the humor in my little calamity. From there, the “brain picking” began. There was no heavy-handed moment of silence from the time we sat down and for the next forty five minutes. She was full of guidance for my amateur mind, and organized with her thoughts. At first I didn’t know if I’d design the right questions to ask her or if I could even spit out the words in appropriate A Day in Her Shoes 35

MT EDEN DUB- STEP interview Mt. Eden on top of the Dubstep game! Mt INTERVIEW : MT EDEN DUBSTEP Eden is Jesse Cooper & Harley Rayner. They are by Broken Beats Crew both from New Zealand originally. If there is any 30/04/2010 dubstep I was into besides the glitchy dubstep it was the chill female vocal dubstep. These We’ve taken Jesse Cooper aside to grab some guys totally rock out the melodic dubstep vibes. first hand experience on Mt Eden Dubstep! They’ve done some major remixes from Burial, There is never enough information to satisfy Imogen Heap, and Prodigy. Homies need to those Mt Eden fiends out there so for those put out a mixtape of their stuff. It’s ashame of your hungry for info; Jesse is here to help! they haven’t put out a proper mix. Go out and check out some of their tunes below. Don’t let BB: Thanks for sitting down with us bro. Lets anyone tell you these guys aren’t dubstep. This play the race card, what ethnicity are you? is sound where it all began, well besides their Prodigy remix haha. I’m born and bred in NZ, but my family comes from Nuie Island in the Pacific. BB: As far as the roots of your sound are concerned, what’s your musical background, is your family into their own set of dirty face melting basslines and beats also? [Jesse laughs...] Nah it’s just me thats into the grimy bass, but slowly im converting them!...

BB: You used to ride under the banner In all honestly, when I changed my name “MtEdenDnB”, what was your direction with from ‘Mt Eden Dnb to ‘Mt Eden Dubstep’, your production at this stage? What made it was at a time when my music was still you dedicate your alias to dubstep? gaining exposure. Because I was making both dubstep and dnb tunes; I would I started off listening to DnB and then just add that type of genre (depending gave producing it a go, however, I found on the type of tune I made) to the end of that it was quite exhausting to establish my name ‘Mt Eden’ so the listeners knew a good sound in terms of its fast tempo! what to expect. I prefer to just use the I discovered making dubstep which was name “Mt Eden” now. Although I’ve heard more appealing as it had everything I people saying that I was tricky for adding wanted when laying down beats, such ‘Dubstep’ to my name to help promote as it being at a slower tempo, but still myself in search engines, it was at a time had the grimy bass lines. when my music wasn’t popular, and I had no intention what so ever. BB: As far as search engine optimization goes; selecting popular songs to remix, combined with updating your alias to include the word ‘dubstep’, has given you a shit load (there’s no other term for it) of exposure over youtube. Was this victory over the “serp’s” (search engine ranking positions) intentional or do you feel you have struck some honest luck with the combination?

BB: Which of your tunes is your favorite? BB: What has stayed with you through your experience in the music industry? Escape.

I don’t think I’ll change, want to deliever a grimy bass to their ears. but I’ll let the world change around me. I just want them to have a mean time, just as I am when I perform. Its awesome to see BB: Where will we see the Mt Eden Dubstep people having a dope time. crew head from here?

Marimba “A percussion instrument with wooden bars tuned to produce a chromatic scale and with resonators; played with small mallets” Synonyms: marimba, xylophone The creaTion The marimba is also known as the xylophone, which received its name from the Greek word xylon, meaning “wood”, and the word phone, meaning “sound”. It is an ancient instrument that originated in Africa and Asia. Wooden bars were originally seated on a series of hollow reeds, which generated the notes that are produced on modern instruments by metal tubes. For centuries, xylophone makers struggled with methods of tuning the wooden bars. Old methods consisted of arranging the bars on tied bundles of straw, and, as still practiced today, placing the bars adjacent to each other in a ladder-like layout. sound Tools 2000 BC 15 Through the evolution of the xylophone there had also developed many different types of mallets as well although there are three main materials that have become the most used today. Each material used creates a different sound vibration depending on the hardness or density of the material.

Bodyevery portrays the MIND by Hilary Sans We all seem to live our lives day to day without giving recognition to the simplest things that we should all be grateful for. When we roll out of bed and look in the mirror we usually never think twice about how lucky we are to be alive. The body that we live in is one of the most essential gifts that we are given in our lives. I cherish the body that I was given because I know that it is the shell of who I am inside and I know that it will show on the outside as well. My body is what I am most grateful for because it is the key to showing how I feel, it keeps me motivated to live my life to it’s fullest , and it has helped me excel in most of the things that I love to do and want to gain. In this body I feel that there are no limitations of what I can accomplish. When you see someone smile, you know that they feel moved by something. When someone gives you a hug, you know that they care. These are only a couple of reasons that I love my body. I feel as though with it I am able to show people how I really feel without even having to use words. Our bodies are how we communicate and build relationships with everyone we come in counter with. They are the silent poems and the visual understandings between one another. The relationships that I have been able to build have all carved the path to who I am today, and this is a journey that I never want to take for granted. Without having awareness of the health that your body is in, how can one reach all levels of who you truly are? When I feel comfortable with my body, it is easier for me to keep a comfortable mindset in the moments that mean the most. It helps me reach all of my potential to do better, and always keep moving forward in my search to finding who I am and where I want to go in my lifetime. I am constantly striving for that perfect connection between mind and body, and to keep it consistent. My body shows where I have been in my life and where I came from. It shows my roots and it remembers all that I’ve been through. Loving and caring for the body I was given will always be a priority for me. 16 Every Body Carries a Mind

To look back and think that I have only been on this Earth for twenty one years, Grateful is an understatement, because I am far beyond grateful to have this I am also so very proud of how far I’ve come and that I feel this is only the body. I have been able to appreciate it and help it grow from day to day. With this begining of this lifetime adventure that I am creating. I was once told that you can body, nothing is impossible for me.
