DJI Release Amazing Video of Electric Porsche – Using a Mavic 2 Drone
Sarah Whittaker
Drone giant DJI are always on a mission to push the edge of what is possible in the world of aerial photography, and this time they have really taken the whole aerial footage thing next level, creating a mesmerising clip of two Porsches speeding through stunning scenery.
All the footage has been captured using the new, 'DSLR in the sky' Mavic 2 drone.
In the video, the dronemaker has taken every opportunity to showcase the abilities of the newest addition to the DJI Mavic family, capturing a Porsche 550 Spyder and the luxury carmaker's latest foray into the future of transport – the sleek electric Taycan speedster.
From long sweeping pans to swift shifts to keep the tight turns of the Porsches in the Austrian mountain roads, the crisp clear sequences of the film clip are enough to get the heart racing.
DJI launched the two new models of folding drones, the Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic Zoom, last week.
Equipped with powerful 4K cameras, they have been designed with the aerial photographer in mind – if there were any question of their success in doing that, the high quality of the new video is sure to put an end to that.
Considering all the new features introduced in the new Mavic 2 Series, this is as it should be – consider the facts.
The Mavic 2 Pro is the world's first drone to receive a Hasselblad camera, which was developed over a two-year collaboration between DJI and Hasselblad.
With its 1-inch CMOS sensor and a 10-bit Dlog-M color profile, the camera images four times finer color shades per color channel compared to the Mavic Pro. The Mavic 2 Pro captures aerial photos with 20 megapixels, the adjustable aperture is between F2.8 to F11. With 4K 10-bit HDR support, the Mavic 2 Pro with HLG can also output appropriate content on a 4K HDR TV.
The Mavic 2 Zoom on the other hand, is the first foldable hobby drone with optical zoom.
It packs a 1 / 2.3-inch CMOS sensor and offers a double optical zoom (24-48 mm) and a double digital zoom. Combined, it can simulate a 96mm telephoto lens that captures video in Full HD resolution. The hybrid autofocus of the Mavic 2 Zoom, according to DJI, combines phase and contrast detection for greater focus accuracy with up to 40 percent faster focus speed than before.
Photos are taken with 12 megapixels, and with the "Super Resolution" function, newly zoomed photos can be automatically combined into a 48-megapixel photo.
On both new Mavic 2 series drones, DJI has introduced fresh, intelligent flight modes, such as the new Hyperlapse modes, which capture changes in a subject over a longer period of time and immediately share them on social media.
Exclusively for the Mavic 2 Zoom, there is the new Quickshot mode Dolly Zoom. The effect ensures a change of perspective by automatically zooming in while flying away from the subject. The motif in the center remains the same size and is more in focus as parts of the environment are hidden.
Even the automatic tracking mode, ActiveTrack 2.0, has been improved and detects obstacles now better, according to DJI. Through the main camera and the dual forward sensors, the Mavic 2 creates a three-dimensional map of the environment ahead. Together with the trajectory forecast, the Mavic 2 calculates the movements of the subject up to 3 seconds into the future.
The Mavic 2 stays focused on the target even if it is temporarily obscured at speeds up to 72 km / h – perfect in this case where the Porsches are partially obscured when speeding through tunnels.
It's also the first DJI drone to feature a total of 10 automatic obstacle detection sensors on all sides; although, while the Mavic 2 can not detect obstacles in high-speed tracking or sports mode, its improved FlightAutonomy system uses a more powerful processor to continuously analyze environmental data to better detect obstacles.
DJI's utilisation of the new features and flight modes in their new showcase video, has been done in such a way that it they subtly add to the experience, rather than overtly showing off the features themselves.
Both the Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom are available on DJI's website, for $US1,449 and $US1,249 respectively.
But don't just believe us – you really have to check it out for yourself.

Dr. Mindy Lahiri: A TV Role Model for the Rest of Us
Theresa Celebran Jones - December 12, 2012
Image courtesy of Fox.
Because I have two kids (one under a year old) and a full-time job, I know I'm probably supposed to tell you that I have no time or energy for TV anymore. I was going to lead off with lying to you guys about how my husband and I only have a handful of TV shows we're able to stay current on, but the truth is, we manage to watch a lot of stuff on Hulu -- in part because we'll occasionally let our five-year-old sneak in a clean-ish show with us before bedtime. I'm actually able to keep up with a lot more TV now than when we had cable. And one of my favorite new shows this year, which Dianne has been covering in her weekly round-ups, is The Mindy Project.
There are shows we never watch in front of our kids, like The Walking Dead or Family Guy, and I'm sure there are people out there who would probably feel it's inappropriate even to let my five-year-old watch The Mindy Project, but allow me to make a bold statement here. The existence of The Mindy Project is important, and almost entirely makes up for the dearth of memorable, strong Asian American women on television since Margaret Cho's All American Girl.
Yes, sometimes some of the jokes need to be explained, and sometimes I opt not to let the kiddo sit in on an episode (like the more recent high-schoolers-having-sex one). To be honest, she usually gets bored within five minutes of me trying to explain the show and will almost always walk off and find a book to read or toys to play with anyway, but I mostly consider The Mindy Project a safe show, if only because it isn't terribly violent, and it's one of the still shockingly few examples of strong Asian American women that my kid will see on TV today.
Let me start from the pilot. Yes, it's full of scene setting and exposition of the life of Mindy Lahiri (the show's main character) -- how she grew up a nerd obsessed with romcoms, became a doctor, and met the love of her life only to be dumped and then invited to his wedding shortly thereafter. But she also leads off with the potentially the touchiest, most frightening issues to Middle Americans today: a pregnant woman in hijab (!!) shows up in her office with her young son, acting as her interpeter (!!!). Mindy explains she can't take her on as a patient because she's nine months pregnant and uninsured (!!!!). After some mild back-and-forth, Mindy agrees to take on this patient on the condition that the son tells her out loud they will have insurance by the time she delivers. Mindy then tells the receptionists she can't take any more uninsured patients, and innocent and naive Betsy notes that she wants more white patients, to which Mindy answers, "Well, don't write that... but yes."
Mindy, you had me at hello.
So she's not white. She's also a normal body type -- she's pretty, but she's what people actually look like in real life, as are many of Mindy's love interests on the show. Lest we forget we're in TV Land where all ladies are a size 0, the expectation is addressed in the first episode where Dr. Castellano tells her that in order to look hot for an upcoming date, she should lose 15 pounds. But she has only carried herself with confidence throughout the show so far, which has been a breath of fresh air.
Kaling's Dr. Lahiri is also terribly self-aware, if not a little off the mark. Remember when Sex And The City was the thing, and every girl called herself "the Carrie" of the group, but was completely wrong because no type of Carrie Bradshaw can exist in real life (thank goodness)? Mindy Lahiri is that girl. She fancies herself a fun and adorably clueless Meg Ryan-type, but instead she grew up an intelligent and outspoken woman who clearly has a low tolerance for bullshit (thank goodness). At times, she's even crude and kind of an asshole. In last week's episode, she did what two male doctors in her practice were too afraid to do and confronted the midwives of the birthing center that was stealing her patients. And we loved her all the more for it.
Mindy Lahiri is smart, independent, and opinionated, but she's also honest about her desire to be in a relationship in a way that isn't annoying or unrealistic. She's not looking for a Prince Charming to sweep her off her feet -- she seems to be looking for a good time with someone who treats her as an equal. I wholeheartedly believe that Kaling, who writes and executive produces the show, created The Mindy Project just for women like me -- and our daughters. We've needed a character like her for a long time.

Shelby not swayed by Fed nominee's Nobel Prize
A Nobel Prize isn't enough to change Sen. Richard Shelby's mind about Peter Diamond. The Alabama Republican said Tuesday that Diamond's still not qualified to sit on the Federal Reserve.
WASHINGTON – A Nobel Prize isn't enough to change Sen. Richard Shelby's mind about Peter Diamond. The Alabama Republican said Tuesday that Diamond's still not qualified to sit on the Federal Reserve.
Shelby, the highest-ranking Republican on the Senate Banking Committee, said he plans to oppose the Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor's nomination to the Fed for a third time. The opposition, which he stated at the panel's hearing on the nomination, raises the likelihood that President Barack Obama's choice for the Fed will be blocked again.
The Senate Banking Committee twice approved Diamond's nomination last year along partisan lines. He was never confirmed by the full Senate because Democrats lacked Republican support.
In October, Diamond and two other economists shared the Nobel Prize in economics for their work explaining why unemployment can remain high despite large numbers of job openings — a trend that is playing out now.
Obama nominated Diamond a third time in January.
Shelby on Tuesday called the Nobel Prize a major honor.
"Yet, being a Nobel recipient does not mean one is qualified for every conceivable position," Shelby said at the hearing, noting that Diamond lacks hands-on experience regulating banks and managing financial crises.
The committee's chairman, Sen. Tim Johnson, D-S.D., wants the panel to vote on the nomination soon. But no date has been set.
Shelby disagrees with Diamond over policy matters, including the nominee's support for action by the Fed and Congress to stimulate the economy and lower unemployment.
"In short, Dr. Diamond is an old-fashioned, big government Keynesian," Shelby said.
Sen. Patrick Toomey, R-Penn., at the hearing voiced concerns that rising prices for food, oil and other commodities could lead to lead to an inflation problem in the United States.
Diamond said he doubts that would happen. Consumers aren't spending at a rate that would trigger inflation, he said. And workers have little bargaining power to demand higher wages because the jobs market is healing only slowly.
Diamond said the Fed has the tools to slow inflation once the economy is strong again. At that time, the Fed will take steps to soak up money all the money it pumped into the economy during the recession. It also will start boosting interest rates. Most economists think that process will start early next year.

When quoting, must I also copy hyphens used to divide words that continue on the next line?
I want to quote a text in which re of the word relationships is on one line while lationships is on the next, and a hyphen follows re (re-) to indicate that the word continues on the next line. When I want to quote the text, can I simply write down the word relationships or must I write down re-lationships?
I'm interested in what the Chicago Manual of Style considers correct.
punctuation grammar chicago-manual-of-style
You probably mean "line" not "sentence" because I cannot think of how one would indicate the sentence breaks after a hyphen? Line breaks are formatting which is not quoted, just the content. So if the hyphen is just for the line break you do not need it. – Ville Niemi Mar 24 '19 at 12:52
Yes, I do mean line. I shall edit that. – user3776022 Mar 24 '19 at 13:32
BTW, there are some digital soft hyphens, like Unicode U+AD. – wjandrea Mar 24 '19 at 22:28
Except in poetry, which retains its line breaks even when put on a single line, it doesn't make sense to retain a line end hyphen elsewhere on the line. It just wouldn't make sense and it would look weird. Chicago says this specifically on their website:
A hard hyphen is one that is typed deliberately and that must remain whether the phrase falls at the end of a line or in the middle of a sentence. An example is the hyphen in "two-thirds." A soft hyphen, on the other hand, is there only when a word must be broken at the end of a line; it has likely been inserted by a word-processing feature, and it should disappear if the word falls in the middle of a sentence during typesetting.
While it's very rare, some books have a guide telling you which hyphens should be kept despite appearing at the end of the line (i.e. hard hyphens). As hyphenated expressions become older they often become single, non-hyphenated words, so it's not always obvious what hyphens are hard and what are soft. Look at the rest of the text to see if a word is hyphenated. Looking at other editions can also be helpful.
LaurelLaurel
According to The Chicago Manual of Style (17th ed.), 2.96:
End-of-line hyphens should be marked to distinguish between soft (i.e., conditional or optional) and hard hyphens. Soft hyphens are those hyphens that are invoked only to break a word at the end of a line; hard hyphens are permanent (such as those in cul-de-sac) and must remain no matter where the hyphenated word or term appears.
Although this doesn't explicitly address the question, I think it's as specific as the manual gets.
In point of fact, when any author writes their text, they often do not insert soft hyphens. It's only once the manuscript is typeset that, according to the publishing style, soft hyphens are used in order to close up spacing and avoid the appearance of white space. If there were grounds for authors calling foul, any author whose book has been published with the use of soft hyphens would be able to object to the misrepresentation. But this never happens.
Some stylistic devices do need to be part of a quote—or their absence mentioned. These include such things as italics, bolded text, superscripts and subscripts. But those are explicit devices used by the author to distinguish one part of text from another. When quoting their text, those same devices should be employed in the quotation so that the distinguishing features are preserved.
However, other stylistic devices that we read in books have most likely not been chosen by the author, and they are not required to convey the meaning of what they have written. These include such things as the overall font face, font size, font colour, the margins and line spacing used—and soft hyphens.
In fact, if you think about it, if you were to copy text that included a soft hyphen, and then pasted it so that the text all appeared on a single line, the hyphen that you previously saw breaking a word between lines of text would disappear. Otherwise, what you are doing is copying what should be a soft hyphen and pasting it as a hard hyphen. So, while you don't need to copy soft hyphens, you certainly shouldn't be copying them as hard hyphens.
Jason Bassford Supports MonicaJason Bassford Supports Monica
When copying text digitally it might be easy to note which hyphens are soft or hard – when you have a physical book and are retyping the text, that is mostly impossible. – Paŭlo Ebermann Mar 24 '19 at 14:39
I suppose you just have to hope that the original typesetter was careful not to add soft hyphens in places where they might be mistaken for hard. E.g. from grammar.yourdictionary.com/punctuation/hyphen-rules.html, "The player resigned his contract". If a soft hyphen is inserted in resigned, to make it re- / signed, it could be read as re-signed which changes the meaning. – Nate Eldredge Mar 25 '19 at 5:41
@PaŭloEbermann well, if the word normally has a hyphen (like the example of cul-fe-sac, or two-thirds) you would know it has a hard hyphen. If it doesn't normally have one, you know it's soft. There are a few ambiguities (like nate eldridge pointed out), but other than those, it shouldn't be too hard – Aethenosity Mar 25 '19 at 14:44
@NateEldredge Indeed! As I understand it, however, typesetting software has algorithms that include dictionaries of words than can and cannot be broken (as well as, if they can be broken, at what point). – Jason Bassford Supports Monica Mar 25 '19 at 14:45

Ford announces mandatory closure of all non-essential businesses
Codi Wilson and Joshua Freeman, CP24.com
Published Monday, March 23, 2020 7:37AM EDT
Last Updated Tuesday, March 24, 2020 11:01AM EDT
Ontario Premier Doug Ford answers questions as Minister of Health Christine Elliott and Ontario Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. David Williams, left, listen in during a news conference at the Ontario Legislature in Toronto on Monday, March 16, 2020. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Frank Gunn
Premier Doug Ford is ordering all non-essential businesses to close their doors this week in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19.
The order, which will come into effect at 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, will remain in place for 14 days but Ford said the province is prepared to extend it "if necessary."
The province released a detailed list Monday night outlining which businesses will be allowed to stay open.
The list of businesses that will be allowed to stay open includes liquor stores, gas stations, hardware stores, pharmacies, office supply stores, taxis, hotels, vets and pet stores, IT infrastructure businesses and a slew of others.
The province confirmed earlier Monday that LCBO and Beer Stores will remain open.
"(The order) means food will remain on the shelves. It means Ontarians will still have access to their medications and essential products. It means the power will still stay on and telecommunications will continue to run," Ford told reporters at Queen's Park on Monday afternoon.
He said the next 36 hours will give businesses ordered to close a chance to "adapt and prepare."
"This was a very tough decision but it is the right decision. This is not the time for half measures. This decision was not made lightly. The gravity of this order does not escape me. But as I said from day one, we will and must take all the steps to slow the spread of COVID-19," he said.
[What is an essential service? Click here for the full list.]
Ford said while the province is looking at enforcement measures for those who don't comply with the order, resources in the province are "scarce."
"I think our resources should be put on health care," he said, acknowledging that it would be impossible to go door-to-door to make sure businesses are in compliance.
He urged companies to "do the responsible thing" and "follow the rules."
"If they want to break that well there will be consequences but we don't want to run that way," he said. "We are all in this together. Do the responsible thing and close your shop."
Ford said the order does not mean all non-essential businesses need to stop operating.
"It doesn't mean closing business. It means… we don't want people in the facility," Ford said, adding that many companies have taken this step already.
The list of businesses allowed to stay open also includes a wide variety of construction projects.
Asked earlier in the day about whether construction companies will be forced to shut down operations, Ford did not give a clear answer.
He went on to say that he has heard reports of unsanitary working conditions at some constructions sites, a situation he called "unacceptable."
"They have outhouses overflowing," Ford said. "Get your act together. Take care of your frontline construction workers."
In a statement to CP24 Monday night, the Residential Construction Council of Ontario (RESCO) said that they are "thankful" that construction projects have been added to the list.
"Construction is a core industry critical to the Ontario economy which is suffering from infrastructure, transit and housing deficits," RESCO President Richard Lyall said. "It will be critical for the industry to continue to implement the highest safety standards on job sites."
'Go directly home and stay in your house'
Ford's announcement Tuesday comes as the number of COVID-19 cases continues to surge in the province.
Ontario confirmed 78 new cases of the virus on Monday morning, bringing the total number to 503 including six deaths and eight recoveries.
During Monday's news conference, Ford also expressed concerns over the behaviour of people returning to the country from abroad.
"People coming back, the snowbirds and people abroad… they are going right into the stores. They are going into the retail stores to get food. I can't stress it enough. It is unacceptable," the premier said, adding that people should "go directly home and stay in your house."
"If you are coming from the airport, do not, I repeat, do not stop at a store. Go directly home and self-isolate for 14 days...The rules in Florida are not the rules here in Ontario."

Helping People from All Walks of Life Cope, Confront, and Overcome
James M. Loy, Miami University
"Today was actually pretty good," says Chelsey Gates. And as someone who often helps people get through their worst days, she is someone who knows when to appreciate the good.
Gates is a social worker and outpatient community mental health therapist for Butler Behavioral Health Services. And on this particular day, she had been working with a client who was once a healthy young adult . . . until a car accident caused a traumatic brain injury, vision loss, and impaired cognitive functioning.
That accident happened decades go. But he's been struggling with mental illness ever since.
"He's in his 60s now and chronically depressed and suicidal," Gates says. "But today, he finally has a positive outlook on his future. It was a really great moment. Just to see that spark in him was amazing and you just know there is more to come."
Gates currently works with over 130 clients who suffer from a range of mental illnesses including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, schizophrenia, and more.
"You name it," she says, and it's the type of work that is part of a growing trend across the field.
"People think it's psychologists and psychiatrists, but actually social workers provide the majority of the mental health services in the country," says Anne Roma, a Miami University visiting professor of social work. "And our graduates mirror that."
After graduating from Miami with her master of arts in social work (MASW), Gates chose this path as well. And it's one she's continuing to pursue while working to become a licensed independent social worker (LISW).
Earning this licensure requires at least two years of additional experience and a separate exam beyond a master's degree. But a LISW allows social workers to offer therapeutic and mental health services without working under a supervisor, including as a private practitioner.
It is also another way this field provides ample opportunities to work directly with many different kinds of people.
More than just children and families
It's a common myth that social workers take abused children away from neglectful homes. Some do, of course. But not many. "I think we have one student out of 60 who works for child protective services," Roma says.
Instead, it's actually an extremely diverse career. Social workers routinely help a tremendous range of individuals who -- regardless of race, gender, or age -- may need some level of support.
Jason Bailey "People don't really understand that it is much larger than children and families," says Jason Bailey, a current Miami MASW graduate student. "You can do the medical field. You can work with older adults. You can work in nursing homes. There are so many other populations that you can focus on."
Bailey's specialization is working with elderly adults, and he is currently completing a field placement at the Dayton Veterans Affairs Medical Center, where he provides case management services, comfort care, and assists in end of life planning and procedures
Most of his experience involves some level of hospice care. But it's also work that's allowed him to form meaningful relationships with those he serves, which is the part he finds most rewarding.
"They have a lot of history to share," Bailey says. "It's a great feeling being able to connect with veterans who have gone through these combat experiences in WWII. You look at them and it's like, wow, you are a hero. You've been through so much and you've survived. It gives you this greater appreciation."
Anybody can need support
As its core, social work is about advocating for and helping others, especially underserved or vulnerable individuals. And that's why so many caring and proactive community-minded people are drawn to the profession.
But social work is not only about working with marginalized or elderly populations. And it's more than just helping the poor or the homeless or the addicted, the unemployed, or the victims of violence, abuse, or neglect.
Sometimes social workers also cross paths with the everyday lives of many others, especially those who suddenly find themselves in an unfortunate medical situation.
Elizabeth Burnett is a clinical social work fellow at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, where she connects patients to the resources and support they need. Since graduating from Miami last year, she has already rotated through several clinics as a part of her fellowship, including pediatric primary care, liver transplant, and the emergency department. Her current rotation is in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.
Elizabeth Burnett "If the family is struggling with a new diagnosis, or they have a child who is chronically ill, and they need support emotionally, we provide the patient with that support, but also serve the family as a unit," Burnett says. "Sometimes that means just providing active listening [Or] if they have concerns regarding their medical treatment, collaborating with providers to ensure continuity of care is key."
These are families who often find themselves in critical situations through no fault of their own. And yet, one of social work's dominant false narratives can still make them question the situation.
"Sometimes families think they are suspected of doing something wrong, because, well, why else is there a social worker in my room right now?" Burnett says.
This, of course, is not the case. But Burnett's work is another example of how social workers can touch the lives of others in unforeseen ways.
And there are many others.
"Our graduates are all over the place," Roma says. "They are in public and non-public schools. They are in hospitals. They are in non-profit agencies. And are also doing community-based services. They are doing home-based services. They are doing agency-based services. They are doing clinical services for people who are struggling."
This kind of help is often about providing actual emotional, physical, and logistical assistance. But it's more than that. Because social work was founded on the ideals of social transformation, it is also about promoting positive changes on a much larger political and cultural level.
So beyond just clinical service providers, social workers are also leaders and activists. Their efforts, for example, have helped Americans gain a minimum wage and unemployment insurance. They have helped establish social security and voting rights, and they continue to fight for human equality and dignity on numerous fonts.
They are the dedicated individuals striving to make this world a better place for everyone.
"Advocacy is our duty," Burnett says. "It's one of the things that ethically we do as a part of our careers. Advocacy can look differently in a lot of different settings. Social workers aim to build interventions on all systematic levels to inspire positive change on the macro, mezzo, and micro scale. We strive to build solid foundations in our communities in efforts to strengthen and unify them."

Karen Carpenter: The Unreleased Solo Songs - I Do It For Your Love
"I Do It For Your Love"
Hello my wonderful friends!!! I really hope you've been enjoying this series on Karen's unreleased song. It's been tons of fun putting it together for you!
"I Do It For Your Love" was written by music legend Paul Simon. This is one of two Paul Simon songs Karen recorded; the other is of course the classic "Still Crazy After All These Years." As we know "Still Crazy After All These Years" was released as a single by Paul Simon in March 1976 with "I Do It For Your Love" as the b-side. Could it be that Karen may have been planning to release her version of "Still Crazy After All These Years" as a single with the non-LP track "I Do It For Your Love" as it's b-side? We can only speculate on that – but that would have made a nice single.
Simon's original recording of "I Do It For Your Love" is done in a fantastic story telling pop style with a hint of folk feel to it. Karen maintained that same sort of style including the folksy feel along with an extra-added New York City sheen to it as which for Phil Ramone was ever so famous. Simon's recording includes Bob James electric piano and Steve Gadd on drums , both of which play the same instruments on Karen Carpenter's recording. This was Karen's (and Phil Ramone's) way of paying tribute to the legend Paul Simon. By the way Phil also produced Simon's recording of the song.
"I Do It For Your Love" takes a somewhat cynical look at marriage and love. Karen does extremely well with these type of "story songs," it's a shame she didn't have the opportunity to do more. She could have hit the ball out of the park with a song such as "Cat's In The Cradle," with a few lyrical changes possibly.
The following is an essay I found on the internet written about the song "I Do It For Your Love". It is written in the male point of view as the song was written by Paul Simon though if we want to think of Karen Carpenter as the narrator we can change the "man" to "woman" and the "he to "she."
Here, we find a man musing on his wedding day and early living arrangements with his bride. Aside from the lousy weather, the ceremony was less than romantic, and possibly presided over by a justice rather than a clergyman: "We signed the papers and we drove away." Then their apartment was moldy and leaky. Then they both got sick and, not being able to afford medicine, simply "drank... orange juice," hoping that mega-doses of vitamin C would do the trick.
Even the rug the husband buys for his young wife-- a splurge, no doubt, even if it did come from a thrift store-- turned out to be a less-than-pretty addition to their abode, as they colors ran together before he could get it home. This luckless pair reminds one of the couple in O. Henry's "The Gift of the Magi."
And yet there is an affection for this time. Again and again comes the line "I do it for your love." It was OK. The sacrifices were worth it. Instead of saying "one day we'll look back at this and laugh," it seems that they were laughing at the time. Because, despite the lack of physical comforts, there was an emotional comfort. A sense that they as a couple, were building something together. Maybe out of noisy pipes and blurry rugs, but a home.
And then... the breakup. "Love... disappears." Wait, when did that happen? In the space of three lines, the relationship dissolves. What has withstood such an uninspired start and such wretched living conditions succumbs to "the sting of reason." One would think that living in a musky hovel would mean that the couple was dealing with reality and surviving despite it.
But no. The reality they get "stung" by is not physical. It is emotional. While living in a physical netherworld, they were emotionally dwelling in fantasyland. They are two "hemispheres." They can meet, but not merge.
The clue is in the color imagery. From "The leaves that are green turn to brown" to the all-black rainbow of "My Little Town," color has been an important metaphor for Simon, but perhaps never more so than in this song.
Even at the outset, the colors are wrong: "The sky was yellow and the grass was gray." Then, they both tried being the same color... by filling themselves to bursting with "orange." That didn't work.
So then we have "the colors ran/ the orange bled the blue." Now, the colors are intermingled, but in an unappealing way, resulting in what today we might call "co-dependency." Each one is relying on the other for his or her identity... and the "fabric" of their relationship is a mess.
Another interpretation of the rug-color imagery is the colors themselves. Orange is a sunny, hopeful color, while blue is the color of sadness (as in "the blues"). The orange person is making the blue one "bleed," in this case, or perhaps dilute his or her identity and sense of self.
Surely, a sad person would not mind losing his sadness and have it bled off by sunniness? Yet we know from experience that, if someone is baseline serious and somber, having a Pollyanna for a roommate could become oppressive in its own way.
The suddenness of their realization is felt in the word "sting," but also reflected in the abrupt change of imagery from concrete to abstract. Aside from the surreal colors of Nature on their wedding day, the first two verses and the bridge are full of bold, realistic images.
Then comes the last verse, with its abstractions ("reason" instead of "pipes" and "papers"), synecdoches ("tears" for "sadness"), and metaphors ("hemispheres" for "personality types"). Poetically, the frozen "north" is traditionally associated with seriousness and the sunny "south" with passion).
The uncomfortable reality of their "room" made them feel a sense of solidarity, as in the lyric, "You and me against the world." This misery kept them together, but also distracted them the real, tectonic problem of their whole planet. A couple should, after all, share more than a "cold."
So what is the "reason" for the "tears"? To paraphrase: "North is north, and south is south-- and never the twain shall marry."
Well, they might. But they might ultimately regret it and part ways. Still, even this painful parting is done out of care for the other. "I am not right for you," each says, "But, because I care for you, I want you to have the chance to find the one who is. Even leaving you is something I do... for your love."

I Do It For Your Love
I Do It For You Love (Lyrics)
We were married on a rainy day
The sky was yellow
And the grass was gray
We signed the papers
And we drove away
The rooms were musty
And the pipes were old
All that winter we shared a cold
Drank all the orange juice
That we could hold
Found a rug
In an old junk shop
And I brought it home to you
Along the way the colors ran
The orange bled the blue
The sting of reason
The splash of tears
The northern and the southern
Love emerges
And it disappears
Lyrics written by Paul Simon

Karen Carpenter: The Unreleased Solo Songs - Don't Try To Win Me Back Again
"Don't Try To Win Me Back Again"
* Note from Rick Henry: This is my favorite song from Karen's unreleased solo recordings!!! I love this song!!!
"Don't Try To Win Me Back Again" was first recorded in 1978 by disco singer Vicki Sue Robinson, you may remember her mega-hit "Turn The Beat Around" from 1976. Vicki included "Don't Try To Win…" on her 1978 album "Half and Half' and used it as the b-side to her single "Trust In Me."
Written by Carlotta McKee and Gordon Gordy, who wrote several songs together. Carlotta has written songs recorded by the soul/disco groups Change, Zinc, Irene Cara and Silence (a group in which Gordon Gordy was a member). Gordon Gordy has written several songs for Vicki Sue Robinson as well as for Irene Cara and disco/R&B artists such as Lemon, Viola Wills, Joe Thomas, Charme, Meco, Brit Ekland, June Pointer and his own group Silence.
Karen Carpenter took this song along with Phil Ramone and turned it into a scorching dance-rock tune much in the same style as Donna Summer's "Hot Stuff." Rod Temperton went all out in creating the vocal arrangement and vocal mix (which in some parts is similar to the vocal arrangement in the song "If I Had You"). A few years later Temperton made this vocal style famous with Michael Jackson's "Thriller."

Don't Try To Win Me Back Again (Lyrics)
Don't try to win me back again
Although you know how much I wanna come
Please don't do that again
Unless you got time and love to spend
Although you know how easily I'd come
Unless you got time and love to spare
It's not that I don't care
Or don't want you by my side
It's more than I care, much to much
I tried too hard last time
Baby, don't you try to win me back again
Although you know how easily I could
It's not that I want you less
Than I ever did before
Matter of fact, the truth is
That as each day passes, I need you more
Every night...

Karen Carpenter: The Unreleased Solo Songs - Something's Missing (In My Life)
"Something's Missing (In My Life)"
"Something's Missing (In My Life)" – Written by Jay Asher and Paul Jabara, the song was recorded by Paul Jabara and Donna Summer and was included on his 1978 album "Keeping Time." It also appeared on the 1980 soundtrack for the movie "Inside Moves" performed by Lady Sylvia. Paul Jabara also wrote or co-wrote the classic tunes "Last Dance" for Donna Summer, "Enough is Enough (No More Tears)" recorded by Donna Summer and Barbra Streisand, "The Main Event" a Streisand hit and "It's Raining Men" by the Weather Girls. "Something's Missing (In My Life)" was recorded by several people in 1979-1980 including Marcia Hines, the Europop group Patchwork and jazz musician Ahmad Jamal. Marcia Hines took the song to #9 in Australia in late 1979.
Here's a little trivia on Paul Jabara he was in the 1978 film "Thank God It's Friday," he played the role of Carl, the lovelorn and nearsighted disco goer, and he also contributed as a singer on two tracks on the original soundtrack album.
Karen Carpenter fans especially love this song for it's dark somber feeling and Karen's use of her famed lower voice. Many have said this song should have ended up on Karen's album and could have been a huge hit. This song particularly touches fans as there was much missing in Karen's life and she communicated this very well in this song.
Songwriter, Jay Asher, has gone on record saying Karen Carpenter's recording of the song is his favorite version.

Something's Missing (In My Life) (Lyrics)
5:52 am..
I'm awake
and thinkin 'bout my life
I can see
I won't sleep a wink tonight
6 am,
where's my pen?
I might as well get up and write a song
And try to work out
why when everything seems right,
why do I feel so alone?
Something missing
could it be you,
could it be you and me?
Something's missing in my life,
Aww come and be
right where I need you to be
For all my life.
Got my house,
got my fancy car,
everything's going like I planned so far,
But something's not there,
that should be there
I gotta find it somewhere,
Since the day you left my side,
I've torn myself apart
and I still can't decide,
Is it you I need
or did you really hurt my pride?
baby it's you,
maybe it's you and me…
If you're what's missing in my life,
then baby come to me,
come feel the need in me.
right where I need you to be ….
You're what's missing in my life,
right where I need you to be…..

Karen Carpenter: The Unreleased Solo Songs - Jimmy Mack
"Jimmy Mack"
"Jimmy Mack" – Of course Karen Carpenter had to put her solo mark on a Motown tune. With Carpenters she had previously enjoyed huge success with the Motown classic "Please Mr. Postman" and gave a spirited vocal performance.
Karen put a fun spirited upbeat early 80's spin on "Jimmy Mack" very much in the same vein as Manhattan Tranfer's "The Boy From New York City" or Diana Ross' "Why Do Fools Fall In Love."
"Jimmy Mack" was originally a Top Ten hit in 1967 for Martha and the Vandellas. Just a year earlier Karen (with her brother Richard) recorded a full length studio version of another Martha and the Vandellas hit, "Dancing In The Street," for an album that was to be released in 1979. But due to Richard's stay at Mennengers in Kansas - to treat his addiction to quaaludes - the album was scrapped and was never released. Carpenters' recording of "Dancing In The Street" was fully pop while Karen's solo recording of "Jimmy Mack" contained underlying hints of R&B in both the music and Karen's vocal performance.
Jimmy Mack (Lyrics)
Jimmy Mack Jimmy,
Oh Jimmy Mack when are you comin' back.
My arms are missing you,
My lips feel the same way too.
I tried so hard to be true, like I promised to do.
But this boy keeps comin' around,
tryin' to wear my resistance down.
Hey Jimmy, Jimmy,
Oh Jimmy Mack, when are you comin' back.
Jimmy, Jimmy, Oh Jimmy Mack, you better hurry back.
He calls me on the phone about three times a day.
Now my heart's just listening to, what he has to say
But this loneliness I have within,
Keeps reaching out to be his friend
Need your loving, need your loving.
I wanna say I'm not getting any stronger,
I can't hold out very much longer
Trying hard, to be true,
But, Jimmy he talks just as sweet as you.
I can't hold out very much longer...

Karen Carpenter: The Unreleased Solo Songs - Truly You
"Truly You"
"Truly You" was written by Russell Javors but has remained unreleased to this day.
Karen was obviously impressed with Russell's talent as a musician, arranger, producer and songwriter as she chose four of his songs to record. "Room At The Top" is one of the four, though it's unsure whether or not she recorded it. She also recorded Javors' songs "All Because of You" and "Still In Love With You," both of which made it on to the album. Javors spent more time in the studio than the other Billy Joel band members. He took the time to help Karen learn her vocal parts on the songs he wrote as well as shaping the musical parts of those songs.
Truly You (Lyrics)
Love when I'm feeling like this
You make me feel alive
You get that look in your eyes every time
And if you find a better way
Have to say that any way you want to play will be alright
Oh it's truly you
Ooh it's truly you
You for me
And it's me for you
Well I was weak and I lost my patience
I put the love on the line
You've got that love on your mind, so do I
It's to the way it seems
I have to say that you're the same
And if you're looking for a fight
If it's too new
Give it time
Yes, it's too soon
We've got the rest of our lives
Well, I believe that a star will guide us
But there's a star inside
And I've been looking for a light in my life
If you turned and walked away
I'll have to say that if you stay
I'm gonna make it worth your while
Lyrics written by Russell Javors
Labels: Karen Carpenter, Karen Carpenter solo, Phil Ramone, Russell Javors, Truly You, unreleased songs
Karen Carpenter: The Unreleased Solo Songs - It's Really You
"It's Really You"
"It's Really You" – It's easy to figure out how this song came to Karen. The song was part of the A&M Records catalog of which Karen had complete access during her solo album sessions.
"It's Really You" was written by Alan Tarney, Tom Snow and Trevor Spencer and was originally recorded by The Tarney/Spencer Band for their 1976 A&M Records album "Three's A Crowd." The song was released as a single by The T/S Band and it was a moderate hit reaching #86 on Billboard's US Singles chart. This makes one wonder if there were other songs from the same album that Karen may have considered recording.
"It's Really You (Karen Carpenter Solo Unreleased)
It's Really You (Lyrics)
Did you ever have a plan, a dream
And think it would be right for you
For a moment in your life, believe
That Heaven would decide for you
That a feeling deep inside will guide you
To a love you'll treasure it's you and I forever
If you will believe
It's really you, It's really me,
We're all the things we ever wanted to be
The time is right and you're here tonight
So hold my hand and know that you'll understand
If there is something on your mind, a need
And you feel you want to shake it
Let it go let it fall, leave it
You don't have to chase it
'Cos there's a new world all around you that's so good
Darling and it's made for you ther's nothing more you need to do
If you would believe
Our love, love that I've tasted
Now there is love and I aint gonna waste it
Like I did before
Now I know it's really you it's me
It's really you it's me
It's really you
Ah you

Karen Carpenter: The Unreleased Solo Songs - Love Makin' Love To You
"Love Makin' Love To You"
"Love Makin' Love To You" is another Evie Sands song. Obviously Karen had a liking for Evie. Evie co-wrote this song for her 1974 album "Estate of Mind" with Ben Weissman and Richard Germinaro. The song is originally titled "I Love Making Love To You," Karen changed the title slightly. Evie released the song as a single in 1975 and reached #50 on the US Billboard Top 200 singles chart. Evie's version is a slower (somewhat) funk and blues sound with a muttled vocal and musical arrangement. It sounds more like a demo than a finished recording. Karen took the song and changed the tempo a bit and added more instruments for a fuller sound including some high stepping horns really giving the song a dark and sultry New York City sound.
Evie Sands had been part of the A&M Records roster from 1968 through 1970. she recorded two singles for the label in 1969 and then recorded her one A&M album "Anyway That You Want Me" at the same time as Carpenters were recording their "Close To You" album. Evie and Karen had many opportunities to meet each other. Karen became a big fan of Evie's music and sound at this time. I feel that early on Karen had this yearning to be a different sort of singer and/or record a different type of music than what was being presented to her.
Love Makin' Love To You - Lyrics
Feel so fine every time
Oh I love makin' love to you
Anywhere, I don't care
Oh the fire in your eyes
Makes my loving temperature rise
Honey sweet ecstasy
Oh I love what your doin' to me
Give me more like before
Makes me feel life is real
Oh I love making love to you
When your heart touches mine
Starts to feel like a natural rhyme
Such a sweet melody
Oh I love when you sing it to me
And there's the lightening and thunder
Any set of wonders
Party on with what you've got
Keep it up forever
Baby get it while it's hot
Oh, I think I'm in love, gonna lose control
Oh I want you to fill me with your soul
Why'd you keep it up forever
Lyrics written by Evie Sands
