- [Janelle] Hey, Tal. - Hey, what's up?
Let's go to Rey's. I'm starving.
Move. Uh, but Mom's coming to get us.
No. Mom texted, she said she's gonna be working late.
Again?
That's like the third time this week.
Yeah, well, you know Mom. Stashing up money
for our college fund or whatever.
- Speaking of college application-- - Don't, don't, Jay.
- Don't, seriously. - Don't what? I'm just being helpful.
- No, you're not being helpful. You're being bossy. - I'm not.
As usual.
Seriously, I don't know how they get
so much bossy in such a-- such a stunted body.
First of all-- [scoffs]
you may be taller, but I'm smarter,
not to mention older.
You're older by two minutes, okay?
That's not even older, that's just--
that's just eager.
- How was practice? - I mean, good,
but obviously not good enough.
I don't know why Kerry keeps fighting me
on every damn move.
Oh, I don't know, maybe--
maybe it's 'cause you're so bossy.
Whatever. And I am older.
Listen, the deadline is next week, okay?
I applied for two scholarships, dance and cheer.
You have to apply for at least one.
I'm not good enough to get a dance scholarship.
You're just too afraid to audition.
Well, you're gonna have to get over it, okay?
Because we're going to Ohio State,
then we're going to LA to be dancers.
- That's the plan. - Whatever.
I just don't understand your lack of ambition.
We're just different.
You dance to perform, I dance for me.
I think that that is so selfish, Tal.
- How is that selfish? - I just think it is--
[indistinct radio chatter]
Mom? Mom! Are you okay?! Are you okay?!
- [man] Whoa, whoa, whoa. - [Janelle] What the hell is happening here?
- Your mother's been arrested. - Drug-related offense.
[man] Easy, ma'am.
No, no, no. Mom, are you okay?
She's been sober for 10 years.
- Are you kidding me? - [mother] I'm sorry, baby.
Are you kidding me?! How could you do this to us?
How could you do this to us again?!
- I'm sorry, baby. I'm so sorry. - [Janelle] Sorry means nothing!
You are so selfish! Let me go! Tal?
- No. She's going away! - [Tal] Okay.
[man] You guys wanna get a couple of things overnight--
Can you give us a damn minute?!
Look at me. Look-- look at me.
All right?
We've been taking care of each other our whole lives.
- Tal, look at her! - [Tal] And it doesn't--
It doesn't matter. Right, it's always been just us.
In the womb, all the years that she was using,
even the years that she wasn't, it's just us.
It always has been, and it always will be.
As long as we're together, we'll be all right.
No, she's going away, Tal!
She is. She probably is.
And we still have each other, right?
We still have each other.
[sobs]
Let's get some stuff.
Do you remember what he looks like?
He was weird.
He was all right.
When did he even watch us? We were like six.
He let me eat marshmallows for breakfast
and taught you how to play the sports book.
Yeah, well, at least he's not in jail.
Uh...
- [Uncle Al] Hey! - [Tal] Hey. Hey.
Welcome to Atlanta!
Whoa, you guys have got so big, bruh!
Like-- it's like I used to tell your daddy,
you guys looking more and more
like the mailman every day.
[laughs] That was funny. That was funny.
Let's roll.

You guys all right?
Look, I know you've been through a lot,
but you're gonna like Atlanta.
It's a new start, a fresh start.
There's a lot of cool things here.
We got the MB Stadium,
and this is home of the would-have,
should-have, could-have-been Dirty Bird,
but then mother... lost a 24-point lead.
How do you bust a 24 lead?
Anyway, Atlanta's home to many world-famous institutions.
See? That's what I've been trying to tell her.
But we don't live by none of that.
- [horn honks] - What's up, Brad?
That's my homeboy right there.
See, over here, we got the shoe store,
we got the liquor store, pawnshop, church.
Cellular store, liquor store, pawnshop, church.
Gun store, cellular store, liquor store,
pawnshop, church.
The shoe store, we got the liquor store...
See that over there? Don't you ever end up like them.
Them are hookers. That's Cindy and Sharon.
Don't ask me how I know they name,
I just do.
- [woman] Hey, Al! - [Uncle Al] Hey, gal!
This is my place.
"Al's Wigs and Wangs?"
Al] Voted Best Lemon Pepper Wet Wing 2003,
2007.
- [Tal] "Wigs around back?" - Boy, you got to have two revenue streams.
You never know when the white man gonna take one from you.
[hip-hop music playing, engine revs]
One other thing-- if you ever see that man
in that car in your vicinity, change your vicinity.
I mean that. You hear me?
Yeah.
- What? - This ain't Ohio.
- Sorry. - You find yourself staring at someone,
it'll be the last thing you'll ever see.
Get your ass in the car.
[Uncle Al grunting]
- A'ight. - [woman] Whoo!
What do we have here?
This is my nephew, Tal, and my niece, Janelle.
They're gonna be crashing here for a while.
If she was related to you, she'd be ugly.
Name's Dorrie.
If you need anything, holla at ya boy,
because, you know, I run this town.
That's nice to know.
I forgot to tell y'all,
we got little black leprechauns around here.
Just step over 'em. Quit looking at my niece.
Haters, man.
Voila. Home.
[sighs] Well, a little tour. This is the living room.
This furniture's vintage, so kind of watch it.
This is a dinette room- slash-sunroom, I guess.
Look, I know you guys are here
under some tough circumstances...
but we're family.
That's why I didn't let you go to foster care.
I wish I could've helped your father
and your mother more, but I'm helping you guys.
Okay?
I have a couple of rules.
Education is number one in this house, all right?
Number two, I don't like idle minds.
So, when you're not studying your books,
you'll be doing a weekly shift at Wangs.
We have to work at Al's Wigs and Wangs?
Yeah, and you can thank me later
because jobs are hard to come by.
Um, that's about it.
Let-- whoa, one other thing.
No drugs.
Janelle, this is your room.
I worked on it for two weeks
to make it perfect for a young lady.
I installed that ceiling fan, hmm?
And this is yours, pimpin'.
- Huh? [laughs] - Yeah, it's nice.
Listen, I know a playa when I see one, okay?
So, no ladies in here, huh?
I'm not gonna be raising no babies, you know?
I see how you roll. It's the jacket.
Look, make this room your room.
Do whatever you want,

[woman] Sage Odom, your school is for low-income kids
in your old neighborhood,
but it's also sort of an experiment, isn't it?
[Sage] High Water is, uh, emphatically not a school.
It's more of an immersive apprenticeship program
where kids learn what they need
in order to hone their passion and make it pay.
Art is not a pipe dream.
It's not expendable. It's a commodity.
It's America's most lucrative export.
Tal?
They're auditioning writers, directors, performance artists,
singers, designers, and this week,
they're auditioning dancers, okay? We have to go.
I've never auditioned for anything, okay?
- You know that. - Don't you see it?
Maybe all this happened for a reason.
You think there's a good reason Mom relapsed
and went to jail and we ended up here?
No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying--
- What? - Can't I just be excited about something?
J, these people are the best of the best, all right?
They're practically professionals. Let it go.
[Janelle] I know all of that, but you know me.
- I at least have to try. - Yeah, I know.
Good luck convincing Uncle Al.
Yeah, well, even Uncle Al has to see
what an amazing opportunity this is.
[sighs]
- Can't you knock?! - Tal, get your ass dressed.
God.
No diploma? What good is it if there's no diploma?
High Water is pre-professional.
It prepares you to make a living an artist.
Only thing they can prepare you making a living as an artist
is if you win the lotto.
I suggest you work on your education.
- And we will see what college we can get you into. - I don't wanna go to college.
Yeah, but you did apply for a scholarship
at Ohio State, so...
But college is not gonna get me where I wanna go.
High Water is.
It's the chance I've been busting my ass
for my entire life, I just need your approval.
You familiar with that show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
- Of course. - My final answer is hell no.
You tell them people get them a diploma, then we talk.
Please don't do this.
Tal, if I don't at least try,
I will hate myself for the rest of my life.
Well, if Uncle Al finds out and we get split up,
I'll hate you for the rest of your life.
- Tal-- - We had a plan.
This is the plan. Don't you see?
We wanted to get to New York to dance, to be famous.
Who is more famous than Sage Odom?
Yeah, but Uncle Al could really throw us out.
Uncle Al is not gonna throw us out.
I only need his approval if I get in,
and even you said it, what are the odds of that?
Just cover for me for one day.
Oh, come on, Janelle.
Stay away from the cute boy.
And if you see the mean girl, run like hell.
We get a call tonight with Mom at 7:00.
So don't be late, all right? I mean it.
Kill it.
Thank you.
Hi. Are you here for the dance orientation?
- Yes. Janelle Baker. - All right.
Uh, Janelle, it looks like your online registration
- is complete. - Mm-hmm.
So today we're gonna have a tour of High Water,
followed by a showcase from our current students.
Tomorrow, the audition process begins.
For now, just step over with the other applicants.
Okay. Thank you.
Sorry.
Oh, man. This is insane.
Yeah. I know, right? I'd kill to meet Sage Odom.
I mean, a chance to learn from that dude?
- That's crazy. - I'm Janelle.
- Davis. - Hi. Odalie.
- Nice to meet you. - Hey.
I just found out about auditions yesterday.
Really? I've been rehearsing for about a year.
I didn't mean to sound like a freak.
- It's okay. - [man] Everyone?
Group's leaving me.
I'll catch up with you guys in a bit, all right?
Excuse me. I'm sorry. Excuse me.
He's cute.
- [laughs] - Good morning.
You must be my group. Welcome to High Water.
Now, as you know, we are not a traditional art school.
We don't have grades or diplomas.
Instead, we focus on teaching you
everything that you will need to succeed
as an artist in today's world.
Now, we accept artists 16 to 25.
Is there anyone here who is under 18?
- I am. - Yeah, me, too.
Okay, well, I hope that you're all aware
that if you don't already have your high school diploma,
you're gonna need to get it online or pass the GED.
- Mm-hmm. - [boy] Great.
Okay. Let's get started.
[hip-hop music plays]
The fashion department is integral
to every other department here.
Designers learn the basics of creating costumes
for all kinds of performances.
The videography program focuses on direction and editing.
You will be relying on the students in this department
to help you create dance and performance videos
to enhance your web presence.
Since all of you are applying for the dance program,
you'll be spending most of your time in here.
Where's that fine sister of yours?
She's, uh-- she's taking over the world.
Cool picture. Is it a dog?
Uh, yeah. It's a-- it's a greyhound.
Skinny thing.
Yeah, they're-- they're skinny and weird.
And other dogs can sense it, so they attack them.
You can't take a greyhound to a dog park
because other dogs go after them.
That's some...
Right? Yeah.
Speaking of... that guy, Marquise?
Don't mess with him.
[Tal] Trust me, I know.
[Collette] Okay, everyone,
let's head into the performance space.
Some current High Water students are gonna show you
just how high the bar's been set here.
Find a seat. Go ahead.

All right, all right. Hello.
If you haven't met me yet, I am Collette Jones,
and I am the head of High Water.
That great piece was created by three of our students,
King, Rigo, and Poppy.
Here at High Water, we believe in the value of gifts
and the power of hard work, but most importantly,
we believe in collaboration.
Now, this isn't just an institution
for dancing or singing, creation,
or even performance.
High Water is purposed to develop
and strengthen your gifts in here,
so that you can be an instrument
of change out there.
[cheers and applause]
Okay, any questions?
How often is Sage Odom here?
Do we ever get to perform for him in person?
- [crowd murmuring] - We get that question a lot,
and while High Water definitely is Sage's vision,
he's a very busy man, and so his time is limited.
- Next question? - [Sage] I wouldn't necessarily say that.
[cheers and applause]
I mean, you do have a point with my time being limited.
I am a very busy man, but, you know,
I could always make time for a little...
[crowd cheering]
May I? [clears throat]
Future of High Water, make some noise.
[crowd cheering]
As of late, I've been doing a lot of interviews
about High Water and what we're doing here.
And it would seem that they take every opportunity
to downplay what is happening here,
Asking me questions like, "Is this a vanity project?"
Mind you, when I say "they," I'm talking about that they,
the they that you're thinking of right now, you.
They don't want you to have art centers.
They don't want you to have afterschool programs.
They wanna keep you stupid by having bull music
and reality TV in constant rotation.
These are the people that keep asking me
this same question, this same dumbass question,
"Sage Odom, is this a vanity project?"
A question to which I, in my most friendliest tone,
- respond with, "No." - [laughter]
No, this is not a vanity a project.
What this is, is a mission to get the art
back to the people through the actual artists.
[cheers and applause]
[Sage] So the answer to the question,
"Will Sage Odom be around this semester?"
You damn right I'm-a be around this semester!
[crowd cheering]
Now, the ones that I find special,
students that I find special,
I will personally select you to work with me.
- [crowd cheering] - Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Because see, the students that I find lacking,
I will personally walk your ass out that front door
and make sure that you are not in the way
for someone that deserves to be here.
- Do we understand each other? - [crowd exclaims]
- Do we understand each other? - [cheers and applause]
Enough talk, we got work to do! I'll see you this semester!
[cheers and applause]
Okay, so the fragrance company call,
that needs to happen now or it's not happening.
- Got it. - Did they call yet?
- Hey. Hi. - Hey.
There she is. God, you look amazing.
- How you been? - Thank you. Thanks.
- [grunts] - Okay.
Good to see you.
Look, do you wanna explain to me...
- Sage? - why you blew into town and ambushed me on stage
and announced that you were taking over?
Thank you. Not taking over.
Just a little spark, that's all.
But we do have a lot to talk about,
so I feel like we should maybe...
- Okay, so when? - [cell phone buzzing]
- What are you doing in town? - I'm gonna-- Oh, I-- okay.
I gotta take this, but, um, dinner tomorrow night,
10:00, my hotel, yes?
You look good.

You know, like, people are telling me, like,
"East-O, you need to put this high school boy
down for a job," and I'm thinking...
you already work for me, right?
[chuckles] Yo, now, you got your side hustle

Huh? Huh? Huh?

- You see something, you look the other way. - Yes, sir.
[sighs] I got one God damn job, that's keeping you alive.
- One God damn job. - I'm sorry.
Don't be sorry. Be smart.
Okay.
Been a parent for 15 minutes. I don't like this.
Be smarter, man.
[Davis] I still can't get over Sage Odom.
I thought I was gonna faint.
That dude could be off doing
whatever the hell he wants.
It's crazy he even spends time with people like us.
I mean, people from his 'hood who don't have anything.
That whole showcase thing was next level.
Yeah, we have to be as good as every dancer
on that stage today.
What do you know? It's The Mighty Hannibal.
You like the old-school stuff?
Yeah, my pops used to have a sick vinyl collection.
We used to play records every Sunday morning.
- It was kind of like church. - That sounds like fun.
You should have us over sometime.
- Maybe we'll get the spirit. - Yeah, I would but, um,
we lost the records in a move, so...
You know, I used to use a lot of old music back home,
you know, when I choreographed routines.
Wait, you choreographed? What, like for a company?
Oh, no. For, like, cheerleading.
Don't laugh. [chuckles]
I know people don't look at cheerleading
as dancing exactly, but...
No, I have mad respect. I do.
I mean, if you led your squad
it means you know how it is to work.
Ladies, I gotta get going, okay? We got a big day tomorrow.
Oh, yes.
- I'm gonna get a refill. - Okay. Cool.
So tell me about Ohio.
[sighs] Ohio. Ohio is cold.
[Tal] Yes, of course, Janelle will be here next time.
Yeah, she, uh--
she wanted to skip orientation to talk to you,
but it was me that wouldn't let her.
Yeah.
What'd the lawyer say?
That's-- it's-- it's fine. That's--
Oh, damn, there's the beeps, Mom.
I-- we're out of time, all right?
But I love you, okay? I mean, we both love you.
We both love you.

I've gotta get into this place!
The people are so passionate and--
What's wrong with you?
You missed our call with Mom.
Don't pretend you suddenly care, because you don't.
O-of course, I care. Why wouldn't--
And don't worry, I lied for you. Again!
You did not have to lie. I just forgot.
They're not going easy, J.
She got three years, no good behavior.
And it's that long before she even gets to go up for parole.
Have you even thought about what it must be like
- for her in there? - Of course I thought about it, Tal!
She's our mother. How could I not think about it?
But we need to think about me and you right now.
We're the ones here taking care of us.
Look, you said it yourself, okay?
Atlanta has a lot of good things going
- if you would just come with me-- - Yeah, right. Yeah. For you.
You know what it has for me? It has a school.
It has a wing store, and it has an uncle
who's keeping me quite literally in the closet!
And what, I'm not allowed to be hopeful
even just a little, why, because you're miserable?
Well, you've always been miserable.
No. No, you're just not allowed
- to be that damn selfish. - Excuse me?
It's not just Mom's thing, you know.

Don't even think about getting with that girl, man.
You know Poppy can't handle that.
And when Poppy's unhappy,
throws off the whole vibe of the group.
Well, me and Poppy broke up, so...
I'm serious, man. Do nothing to help that chick.
We'll be fine, all right?
I just wanna play with her a little bit.
[softly] Come on, Janelle, you're killing me.

When you are sharing and you are growing your business.
Find that person, reach up, reach down.
Find the person that inspires you, that motivates you, that you can lock arms with and just
run because it is better when you've got somebody in your corner that is cheering you on that
maybe is keeping you in check and that is gonna hold you accountable too.
Because so many times we let ourselves off the hook.
We say, not today, I don't have to do this today.
But there's one thing about our relationship is we don't let each other off the hook.
We are gonna stay after each other because we know that we want so much more for our
families and so we have to keep going.
We want so much more for our team that we keep going.
We lead by example but she holds me accountable too and I do the same for her and it's just
better.

Karen Burniston Die Set #1028 Cake Pop-up Assembly - Duration: 19:47.
hello it's Karen Burniston here with an assembly video for one of my die sets
this is die number 1028 the Cake Pop-up and you can check out all of
my designs at KarenBurniston.com One of the very first dies i ever designed
for my first collection with Sizzix back in 2009 was a three-tier cake pop-up die
it then ended up in the Stampin Up catalog as well for a while and I always
felt that while I love love loved that die I wish I would have made the
assembly a little easier and now I get my do-over
in general for assembly videos I try to keep my project mostly around just the
pieces that come in the die set that's the way I like to design dies that you
can make a great card using just that set but there are a couple great
accessories that I did want to show so there's the new Happy Birthday that's on
this card and the new number set that's on top of the cake so this card is going
to go to my mom this year she's celebrating a big milestone birthday
I've placed the 10 dies that come in the set on my magnet sheet and I'll start by
cutting the three tiers of the cake to make a cake each one of these three tier
pieces needs to be cut twice now you can try stacking up your cardstock and
cutting through two layers but I tend to just die-cut one of each at a time so
it's two times through your die-cutting machine to get two of each you can use
any die-cutting machine that can accommodate a wafer thin die and I am
using a Sizzix Big Shot today now you can cut those tiers out of a nice
patterned paper I would make sure that it's a little bit of a sturdy patterned
paper like a double sided but if you're using cardstock and you want to use the
stencil feature on the die to add some polka dots that is another option
so in all cases I will just sponge an ink down through that die all over the
tiers of the cake and then it will add polka dots in all the parts that are
visible you do not have to worry about stray ink so if it gets off of your
die and into the other parts of the cake it doesn't matter all of those parts
will be hidden in the finished cake and of course any time you use your dies as
stencils you should definitely have a rag handy that you can wipe that ink off
of your die right afterwards now before we start folding let's give
ourselves a little help by adding X's to the pieces using a pen or a pencil it
will all get covered in the finished design where the adhesive is going to go
so we've got our big panel at the bottom and the side tab on the small tier again
on the medium tier the big panel at the bottom and the side tab just adding some
X's to those pieces this will also help because you won't accidentally flip
your piece over then you know if you haven't done the polka dots it it's easy
to flip a piece over and then suddenly you've got the tab on the wrong side or
whatever so just adding these X's really helps you on the big tier it's going to
be the three across the bottom and the side tab but then also the upper tab so
only for the bottom tier the upper tab also gets an X step one let's make sure
that that center little tab is separated from the other two sometimes in the
die-cutting process it might leave just a little bit connected and if so just
break those connection points and then let's work every single fold in this
piece as a mountain fold so a mountain fold means you're folding away from you
see everything is becoming a mountain the two outer ones are in a
little bit different location than the inner one because it's going to fold
down right here on another mountain fold getting it out of the way right at the
corners there's another mountain fold the X tab up here is a mountain fold and
then these sides of the cake so we've got Mountain fold here a mountain fold
here and the final one is the tab on the side and notice every single fold is a
mountain fold the middle tier is basically the same
thing Mountain folds if there's any paper in the slot and get it out of
there we're just going to go around and find the folds and make them Mountain
folds so you've got the side tiers the side tab now the other tab it doesn't
have an X and it doesn't have a fold see that's just going to stay straight
same folding on the upper tier that x-panel mountain-fold that comes down
around the crescent the other side folds down the sides of the cake they each
have a fold you've got your side tab but your other
tab stays whole and it has no X now here's the only Valley fold in the
entire cake and it's to bring up your little Crescent so see that's the only
valley fold everything else will be a mountain fold now we need to do that
again for the other three pieces now you can rewind this video and watch the slow
version and do it with me I'm just doing it really fast here to show you that
those other pieces get folded the exact same way
so each one of these pieces is half of a tier of a cake so you can see that when
you put those large X panels next to each other and then we end up gluing
those to each other that's what creates the full tier of our cake so let's talk
about adhesive I definitely recommend something strong my favorite for putting
the cake together is glue so I've got LineCo neutral pH adhesive filled in
my Fine Tip bottle we do sell both of those items on our website and the
important thing about gluing the big x panels to each other is that we
completely coat the panel with adhesive and especially all the way up to the top
so we're really trying to shellac these two to each other we really don't want
to gap between the pieces if you're using glue this might be a great
opportunity to just throw a paper clip across it up to the fold so that you can
really seal those together and then set it aside while that dries I'll move on
to my middle tier once again I'll start with a line of
glue right up next to the fold and then pretty much coat the rest of it and then
get that lined up with the other half now the reason that I'm being a stickler
about getting the glue all the way up to the top is because we actually have
another tier that's going to sit right over the top of that that seam so if
that seam has a gap in it then that tier above it might slide down into the gap
and you won't get such a nice tall cake so really important when you're gluing
these tiers to each other that you just make sure that you go all the way up to
the top of the fold with your adhesive for the bottom tier it's going to be the
two outer X panels so we've got that one that's in the middle and it's just kind
of kicked out of the way once again adhesive all the way up to the top of the
fold pretty much shellac it and then just attach it to the other side now
this one you know my paper clips not gonna be long enough to go all the way
across the whole thing so I'm just going to hold this one for a second until the
glue sets up I'll still need my glue to finish the
assembly of the cake but I'm also going to recommend that you grab some just
regular old tapes so this is some gift wrap tape it can be just plain scotch
tape inexpensive cello tape whatever you've got just have that handy so those
side X tabs glue to the other side you want the adhesive all over the little X
tab and then if it is easier you can actually collapse this piece up into the
closed position because then that will bring your X side tab over to the other
side making it easy for you to press those two pieces together the only thing
you have to watch is that when you do this in that collapsed position you
don't want to accidentally glue that X tab to the center of the cake in other
words it's just gluing to the other side that will become real evident because
when you do this step like you're seeing me do if you try to open it and that
piece doesn't come up in the middle that probably means that you got it some glue
you know, you got that middle piece kind of stuck in your tab somewhere so that
middle piece should be pretty free-flowing it can go up and it can go
down and then you've got your outer two tabs and those are the two that are
going to go down through the slots of your middle tier now the way I designed
this there is just an itty-bitty tiny little catch on the edges so when you
shove this through that slot it's gonna be tight okay
see how it's tight in there? usually what you want to do is you want to start at
one side and get it all the way down until it kind of clicks and then shove
the other side through and it should be pretty tight now what happens sometimes
is in the shoving through the slot you've actually kind of bent those outer
little catch points a little so if you just take your fingers and just kind of
rub them back out again if you can imagine those kind of got shoved in and
then you can shove them back out again depending on your cardstock that might
be enough feel it does it feel pretty tight it's probably fine but I'm gonna
give you a cool little trick here that you can do during assembly just to make
sure that that tier can't ever pop out of there so I give you this trick
because I don't know what weight cardstock you're using and I don't want
to have to dictate what you use I want you to be able to use anything so this
is the trick you take I'm just regular old tape and back here
where you've put your tab through the slot on either side but it's probably
easier on the outside you just add a little bit of two piece of tape across
the tab and onto the middle tier see just like that so basically what we're
saying is okay that tab can't come back out again that's all that tape is doing
you don't need much just a little line of tape on the inside of the middle tier
connecting to the tab that's come through it and that will just really
make sure that that can't ever pull back out of those slots again
okay let's continue on with the assembly it's going to look very familiar we're
going to do to the middle tier exactly what we did to the top tier which is we
add adhesive in the X panel and we glue it to the other side and you are welcome
to collapse that down if you find it easier to do this in the collapsed
position where you can really get those pieces together and pinch them if you
wanted to use a double sided tape for this you could I'm using glue just
because it's easy I love glue but you could definitely use like a strong tape
for this if you prefer now we've got our upper and our middle
tier connected to each other this is going to look familiar now because on
the middle tier you've got a center piece that pushes everything up and then
you've got two outer tabs and it's the two outer tabs that are going through
the slots on the bottom tier so we're doing exactly the same process again I
think the easiest is to get one corner of the tab all the way through and then
push and pull until the other one goes all the way through and once again just
go in there with your finger and your thumb and make sure you pull those
little catch points back out again it should feel really tight as an added bit
of insurance it's a great time to add that piece of tape it only takes a
second and then you know for sure that that tab can't pull back out again and
then go to the other side and do the same thing so we just get a corner down
through the slot until it kind of catches then we push and pull the other
side of the tab through until it's seated in there work those little
corners a bit to make sure they're back out again check it make sure it feels
tight and then add the tape
there really is nothing at all complicated about this assembly it takes
a little longer than some of the other ones because of course you're stacking
three tiers of a cake up into a really impressive card but overall all the
steps themselves are actually quite simple and intuitive we're gonna add the
adhesive on our X tabs basically we're just doing the same thing that's the
other nice thing about the cake is it's three repetitions of the same thing
adding our adhesive and our little X tabs and connecting them to the other
side of the cake and now you can see all three tiers are stacked together the
last thing we have to do is to create the base for the cake to sit on and
that's what our final two x tabs are for they basically just glue to each other
so I just add a little glue and one of the x's and glue the other tab to it and
once again if you find it easier you can collapse the cake down so that you can
give it a good press in the closed position so we're just attaching X to X
on both sides of the cake and that will create the little base that the cake
will sit on I think it's easiest to decorate the cake before I put it in the
card and so I have this little trick I like to do if my cake is kind of
collapsing on me and I want to keep it open that I just take a piece of
cardstock and weave it through the cake basically along the bottom tier just
because it's easiest to see what I'm doing but it would work in the middle
tier as well and then just weave it right through and then what that does is
it just kind of helps the cake stay open while I'm doing some decorating like if
I want to put my little trim pieces on and I used glitter paper with some
double-sided adhesive on the back for my trim pieces that'll make it easy to add
them to the cake I usually start in the center and then wrap the ends around the
cake I'll need one for the front and one for the back and then once I've got my
pieces just set on there then I can actually pull the cardstock so that I
can collapse the cake and then just reinforce them with a bone folder the
die set includes mirror image candles so that you can glue those back-to-back
around that top part of the cake or it also includes a bride and groom so
you've got two cake-topper choices with the die set but then as an add-on
set you can buy the Numbers set so I've decided to use the numbers on top of the
cake there is an optional stencil feature on the numbers that will give it
a little highlighting line around the outside and if you'd like to use that
stencil feature I recommend using temporary tape to hold the dies onto a
little bit larger piece of cardstock that way you have that cardstock to hold
onto while you do your stenciling and then die cut it afterwards notice on the
zero that I'm not going to use the stencil on the vertical pieces just on
the rounded pieces and that way I can complete that stencil after die-cutting
ok I've run that through my die-cutting machine you can see the seven there with
that highlighting line and then on the zero I just need to finish out those
little bits whatever I put on the top of the cake
has to be able to collapse down into that small tier so if I'm doing a
two-digit number like seventy I'm gonna have to overlap those pieces a little
bit but then if I want the number sign I can put that just a little higher so the
goal here is is to have the 70 collapse down into the cake but the number sign
is high enough that it shouldn't be in the way even in the closed position so
just watch that with whatever you put on the cake the top of the cake it either
has to be high enough that it can collapse down and your topper is still
above the cake see what I mean or it has to be thin enough that it can collapse
down into the cake but a two-digit number will fit
you choose your own card size I'm gonna do a standard A2 five and a half by
eight and a half piece of cardstock folded in the middle at four and a quarter
and then I decorated mine with some pretty pieces of patterned paper the
cake is gonna glue down on those two X panels so I can add glue all over one
set of them in this case I chose the back of the cake it wouldn't really
matter as long as I pay attention I want my 70 facing the front so I just
need to make sure that I don't cross the fold with my center pieces so I like to
kind of lift the card up to make sure that those stay right in the fold but
not crossing the fold and then once I get a good alignment I feel like it's
centered that I'm gonna give some pressure right over the top of that X
because that's where the glue is underneath the cake on the other side so
just giving it a good press once I feel like that set up then I can go ahead and
add my glue to this side so again it's the X panel but gets the glue it can be
all of the X panel basically the square one and the little tab one all of that
area can get glue or your strong tape whichever and then just close the card
and give it a really good press and then once it's set up you can open that card
and your cake is going to pop up
the cake trim pieces can be used for so much more than just trimming the cake
for one they make a pretty good cake plate by just taking the longest one and
snipping it nearly through but not all the way through every third scallop then
you can create a nice little trim to go around the bottom of the cake actually
on the card
and you can use those cake trims to trim out the entire interior of the card if
you'd like as I did here okay I've used the new Happy Birthday cut
twice and offset just a little bit I'm going to glue that in the back and then
one of those birthday candles from the set along with a label and a heart from
the Katherine label set to finish out my card's interior
and then my favorite thing just a simple lead-in for the front of the card so
candles from the set the cake trims the little oval and heart from the Katherine
label and my leftover patterned paper
okay right now that cake wants to spring back up but of course after you've got
it trapped in an envelope and sent it through the mail it'll remember how to
stay closed but then you also may have to teach it how to stay open so it's got
three layers of fold stacked on top of each other so as you can imagine when
that gets folded down and mailed it's gonna take a little while before it's
willing to just stand perfectly flat on its own now you can see it does a pretty
good job on its own but depending on how thick your cardstock was it may want to
kind of close up a little bit so if you really want to keep it nice and open
flat for display you can't just put a paperclip across the fold and that does
a really good job of immediately making it stay open for display and actually
after about an hour or so you could take that paperclip off and that card will
stay exactly where it is right now so it's all about sort of remembering what
it wants to do if you mail it with a clip they could actually just rotate
that clip over and across the fold just like that for display
you can have more trim choices by getting the Cake trims die which is sold
separately it can also be used for stand-alone borders and then of course
it has three different trim styles to fit the cake
those also work great to make wedding cakes
and let me quickly show a few ideas by our very talented design team
Fran Sabad with a heart on top of the cake
Helen Cryer with a beautiful wedding cake
Karen Aicken with three different styles of patterned paper on the cake
Shelly Hickox on the left and I love her idea to add a decorated clip and
Kelly Booth on the right incorporating some of her stamps
Summer Hills-Painter with just two tiers on the cake and some palm trees on the

Quick Songwriting Tips: Change up the Distance Between Your Chords | Tip 8/8 | Berklee Online - Duration: 3:59.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Last harmonic tip of our special time together.
You guys have been great.
Thank you so much.
This is called harmonic rhythm.
And again, this is something that people don't normally think about.
Harmonic rhythm is the distance between all the chords you're playing.
So for instance, here's a chord progression.
We'll go back to that old chord progression I played previously.
[PLAYING PIANO]
So each of these chords I'm playing for one measure.
One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, one, two--
you know, and again, there's nothing wrong with that progression
or playing a chord for an entire measure.
There's some great songs that have the same chord
progression throughout the entire song. and there's nothing wrong with that.
But again, to break out of old habits, again,
usually what songwriters do once they establish this harmonic rhythm,
they keep that for the entire song.
In fact, a lot times, songwriters don't even
realize that they use that same harmonic rhythm for all of their songs,
whether it's one chord every measure, or sometimes they'll do this-- you know,
one, two, three, four.
That's two chords per measure, or one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight.
Now, this harmonic rhythm is one chord for two
measures-- five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight, one, two. and whatever you choose is fine.
But break that up a little bit.
And in fact, there's a third way.
So those are all called symmetrical harmonic rhythms,
meaning each one of those chords are spaced evenly apart--
you know, a set certain amount of beats.
But you can do what's called an asymmetrical rhythm.
Here's asymmetrical rhythm-- One chord per measure--
one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four.
What if I played one chord for one beat--
the next chord for three beats--
maybe the next chord for three beats-- and the last chord for one
beat just to mix things up-- so, five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three,
four.
And all the sudden, you get this nice change-up.
Let's reverse it.
Let's do the first chord for three beats-- the second chord for one beat--
and then we'll just repeat that pattern.
So, one, two, three, four, one, two, three.S
And now you are doing something that, again,
the majority of other songwriters are not even considering.
So harmonic rhythm-- super fun-- super easy to implement.
And I was using a four chord pattern.
You know, this works with a six-chord pattern, or a eight-chord pattern.
Or even, you know, maybe do your entire verse with one chord.
You know-- da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da.
Ba, da, ba, da, ba, da, ba, da, ba, da, ba.
Ba, da, da, da, ba, da, da.
You know, like, so far I'm only playing one chord.
And I'm letting the melody carry.
And then when you get to your verse, then change the harmonic rhythm
and do like, oh, one chord per four beats or whatever.
It's just a very creative way-- a very fun way--
to add some variety to your section.
So anyway, harmonic rhythm--
love it.
Take it.
Do it.

I'm Not Giving Up On You - Josh Shipp - First Baptist Orlando - Duration: 0:53.
There was a beautiful relentlessness, he had. A beautiful stubbornness that he had.
I wonder what would it look like if you and I are willing to be one percent more
hard-headed than that kid in our life? And I got my own, so please, I mean, they
drive me crazy. But what would it look like for us to be one percent more
hard-headed, more stubborn, leaving the ninety-nine and saying "I'm not giving up on you!
Doesn't mean I'm gonna let you walk all over me. Doesn't mean I'm letting you do
anything you want...but I'm not gonna leave you."

How to Make a Pop Up Groundhog Puppet - A Groundhog Day Wayback Wednesday | Sophie's World - Duration: 8:20.
Hi I'm Sophie and welcome to my world and it's time for another way back
Wednesday you know this is a super fun series for me because it gives me a
chance to look back at some of our older videos and I realized how some of these
crafts just totally tickle me and this is one of those crafts that just does it
for me I don't know why there are so many crafts that we have done so many
cute crafts but for some reason this is just one of my all-time favorites it
just makes me giggle every time I look at it and so I hope
you enjoy this way back Wednesday it is a groundhog pop-up puppet
hi I'm Sophie and welcome to my world today we're going to be making a
Groundhog Day craft and it's going to be using some recycled materials we're
going to be using socks so if you have any of those socks that have lost their
partner this is a great craft for that we're also going to be using a paper cup
some stuffing some rubber bands some googly eyes which I love
we're going to need a pen that has a point to it like a ballpoint pen and
we're gonna need a indelible marker some scissors and then the only tricky thing
that you might be hard to find is a dowel I need a wooden dowel that's about
18 inches long you're gonna need that because your groundhog is gonna pop up
and down so you are gonna need a stick that's at least three times as big as
your cup that's the important thing okay so the first thing I'm gonna do is
I am going to hot glue this stick into my sock now this is one of those points
where you want to make sure that you're very very careful
turning my sock inside out and you want to be really careful here because this
is an easy way for you to get burned because hot glue and fabric are not a
good match when it comes to keeping your fingers safe so what I'm going to do is
I'm actually gonna put the hot glue onto the stick and this is always a good
point to use adult supervision okay now I'm gonna take the toe of the sock I'm
gonna spread it open here like that and I'm gonna place my stick now see how
I've got it it's kind of like a trampoline there see how my hand is
making the trampoline so that the hot glue is not touching my skin at all and
now once it cools down a little bit then I can slowly slowly slowly get it
secured in there okay now you can see my sock is secured inside excuse me my
stick is secured inside my sock is what I meant to say okay now I'm going to
give myself some ears now to make my ears I'm just gonna pull up the corners
of my sock and I'm gonna take some rubber bands
and I'm just gonna rubberband these what I like to do with rubber bands is once
they get to a certain once I get twice around there I can usually get four at
the same time there there we go and I'm gonna go to the other side here and
again I'm going to kind of just take a little Poochie there and take my rubber
band wrap it around once twice pull both of them so that I get it to go around
four times here the smaller the rubber band the easier that is okay now you can
see he's got some ears now I want to stuff his head now the one thing that's
really important here don't overstuff your head because if you over stuff your
head and it's bigger than the cup part at the top here his head won't go down
so you want to make sure that you only make your head as big as the small
bottom part here I'm gonna stuff his head and I'm gonna make sure that it
gets stuffing on both sides of the sticky there we go both sides of that
stick there we go and now what I'm going to do is take another rubber band smoosh
that up a little bit so that it gets up at the top of the stick there there you
go I can see his little head is forming and
then I'm gonna take another rubber band rubber band it around once
twice it really only needs to go twice here because it's just making his little
neck and there we go so there you can see there's his head now of course he
needs some eyes and to do his eyes I'm just going to take a little bit of this
hot glue put it here and here attach his little eyes actually attach his big eyes
there we go and if I had any puff balls or anything
like that I could use a puff ball for a nose but I'm actually gonna draw his
nose on there we go and I'm gonna make mine a happy groundhog so I'm gonna give
him a nice big smile with my pen there we go
now if I want you I can give him little arms and I can do
arms the same way that I did those ears so I'm just gonna give him a little arm
pulling that up like that got it around twice get this two to get it to four there we
go and on the other side I'm gonna do the same thing pull a little fabric
rubber bandsand now we're ready to make him come out of his hole
now to do that I'm gonna need a cup just get this last little hand there there
you go now you can see it's got his
little hands okay now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take this cup and I'm gonna
put a hole right in the center at the bottom here so there's my hole and then
you can see what happens is I'm just gonna take my stick and stick it right
through that hole and now I'm gonna take glue and glue my little body the outside
here I'm just going to do that by taking a little bit of hot glue I'm going to do
this a little bit at a time and start with the back because again I'm using
fabric when I'm using fabric it's very easy to get burned and so what I'm gonna
do is I'm gonna open this up roll it down over top making sure not to get my
fingers into the hot glue itself because that would hurt and we don't want any
911 calls while we're filming okay and so now I'm gonna go around again with
the remainder you know if you're nervous about this you can always just let it
dry for about 10 seconds that cools it down so it'll get a little tacky and
that's okay okay I'm gonna put that down in there and there was my little
groundhog and see you can see that that's when he's fully extended out of
his hole and then when you want him to pop down into his hole there he goes
so you can come up and you can say mr. groundhog are we going to have six
more weeks of winter come up slowly now just to show you what else you can
make you can make a magical bunny if you wanted to and in this case what we did
is I just took the cup and I took a black plate and I actually cut the black
plate and put it around the top of the cup so that now I have a buddy and he
can come out of the hat and he can do a little dance if you like him to do for
more eye-popping ideas come and check us out at Sophie-world.com

We Can Open Up A Higher Reality - A World of Love - Duration: 2:54.
I'm very proud to announce the release of my new book. After the publication of
my first book The Egotist, I began writing articles about politics in the
spiritual root of a world in crisis. A world of contradictions that reveals the
flawed development of man using rational systems. The first issue my book deals
with is how I transitioned from being a pretty standard New York liberal to
becoming a Conservative Republican. I became a Conservative the day Trump was
elected, after doing everything I could think of in my power to make sure he wasn't.
When you become critical of a single aspect of liberal thought it becomes
binary to people. People think that you're against everything they stand for and that
you have a different aim, that you don't want to help people, that you have some
sort of racist or sexist worldview, when in reality many of the Conservatives want
the same things as liberals. The more I explored political tropes the more my
perception changed. It slowly became apparent to me that the Democratic Party
like most of the leftists had degraded itself to the point that it had reversed
nearly every position JFK or Martin Luther King would have fought for.
The goal of this book was to introduce a new type of journalism - solution based
journalism. I decided to call the book Tikkunim (Corrections) based on a kind of
spiritual concept: that man by correcting himself making a Tikkun, he corrects the
world. And the book kind of outlines the corrections I to make to my political
beliefs, but also Corrections I had to make as an individual.
The book is a series of articles that's extremely personal that shows my growth
and change as a person. Both as a political commentator and as a
spiritual person. That through this confusion through these contradictions,
through understanding the broken nature of this kind of post truth world were living in,
I was able to change myself, that I could open up a spiritual reality inside myself
because of looking at the world and the broken things that I had a desire to fix.
We can overcome the currents of opposing viewpoints
and open up a higher reality - a world of love.
