Steely Dan,s Quiet Hero
walter Becker was a wry perfectionist one of rock's most eccentric bands-even if he preferred life in the shadows
BY DAVID BROWNE

For years, anyone who wanted to use the bathroom while visiting Walter Becker's studio in the countryside of Maui was directed outside. There, mounted on one of the walls of a white outhouse, they'd find a gold-record plaque for Steely Dan's Aja – which, over time, began oxidizing and tarnishing in the ocean air.

It was a prime example of the irreverence, unflashiness and dark humor that Becker, who died at 67 on September 3rd, displayed his whole life. There were few, if any, rock stars like him. He looked and acted like a droll college professor, and in conversation he could expound on Samuel Beckett's plays, delve into the details of the Manhattan Project or rattle off the names of sidemen on obscure jazz records.

Becker was as much an architect of Steely Dan's airtight sound and skewed sensibility as his friend, singer-keyboardist Donald Fagen. The two co-wrote the Dan's songs, oversaw their legendary persnickety recording sessions, and shared a love of Beat writing, sci-fi and other topics that resulted in the parade of freaks and geeks that inhabited their songs. (With his long hair, wispy beard, and diffident air, Becker even resembled one of those weirdos, especially in his youth.) A behind-the-scenes maestro, Becker often let others play his parts on record, and few fans knew the dramatic arc of his life – his painful childhood, and the addiction, seclusion and rebirth he endured as an adult.

"His relationships were difficult, and his relationship with life was difficult," says a friend, American-born Hindu devotional singer Krishna Das. "But music was always there for him. It was the most dependable source of beauty he had in his life."

7 Peluang Usaha bagi Mahasiswa

(English)
Business opportunities for students

Campus is a place for students to gain knowledge. But for students who are creative, as well as a place to study, the campus is also a place to learn to open a side business. It can even be used to pioneer a more serious business, as the beginning of a business that will be occupied after graduating college later. There are many facts that prove that the campus in addition to be a place to study course materials, also became the starting point of students to pioneer the business from scratch.

There are many business opportunities that can be attempted by students, whether businesses that require large capital or who do not need capital. Business students can be either an online business or a business that runs real. With the business that we live as a student it will deliver us to success in the future, with the record we must live with serious and spirit.

With the existence of business does not mean will disrupt our education, because the first goal is to run education well. Business and business is my side business, to fill my spare time.

As a student of course we want a side income, but sometimes we are confused bangaimana get it. for that I make a video about business opportunities suitable for students.

Peluang usaha bagi mahasiswa

Kampus merupakan tempat bagi mahasiswa untuk menimba ilmu. Namun bagi mahasiswa yang kreatif, selain sebagai tempat menimba ilmu, kampus juga menjadi tempat belajar membuka bisnis sampingan. Bahkan dapat digunakan untuk merintis bisnis yang lebih serius, sebagai awal dari bisnis yang akan ditekuni setelah lulus kuliah nantinya. Sudah banyak fakta yang membuktikan bahwa kampus selain menjadi tempat belajar materi kuliah, juga menjadi titik awal mahasiswa untuk merintis bisnis dari nol.

Ada banyak peluang bisnis yang dapat dicoba mahasiswa, baik bisnis yang membutuhkan modal besar maupun yang tidak memerlukan modal. Bisnis mahasiswa dapat berupa bisnis online maupun bisnis yang dijalankan secara nyata. Dengan bisnis yang kita jalani saat masih menjadi mahasiswa ini akan menghantarkan kita menuju kesuksesan dimasa yang akan datang, dengan catatan kita harus menjalaninya dengan serius dan semangat.

Dengan adanya bisnis bukan berarti akan menggangu pendidikan kita, karena tujuan pertamanya yaitu menjalankan pendidikan dengan baik. Usaha dan bisnis adalah usaha sampingan saya, untuk mengisi waktu luang.

Sebagai mahasiswa tentunya kita menginginkan adanya pemasukan sampingan, tapi kadang kita bingung bangaimana mendapatkannya. untuk itu saya membuat video tentang peluang usaha yang cocok untuk mahasiswa.

watu ulo is my favorite traveling

Hi friends😊 

Meet again with my post, how's it going? Still healthy all dong? Thank goodness that you are all healthy.

My posting times is a favorite place when walking the streets or during the holidays ,, Happy reading this post 😊

My favorite place is the beach, the beach is a comfortable and beautiful place to be a place to relax or vacation. I chose the beach ''Watu Ulo'' located in Jember District East Java, precisely in Sumber Rejo Village Ambulu District as my favorite place, Watu Ulo name is taken from Javanese language. ''Watu'' which means ''stone'' and ''ulo'' which means ''snake''. Given the name ulo watu because rocks that protrude ketepi sea resembles snake scales.

The beginning of my story to get to this beach is, when I want to continue my education in eastern Java, I fly from West Kalimantan to Surabaya by plane, and continue using the car to Jember (ambulu). Arriving there and after a few days I met a new friend. this new friend who brought me this beach. And this is the second time I was on the beach, which I previously vacation on the Kura kura beach.

I am very happy to visit this beach, this is the most remote place I've ever visited for now, this beach is very comfortable to relax, cool beach for us to spend free time, sea breeze that can make our heart cool, sand colored black makes this beach more visible beautiful, because most beaches have white sand and brownish, rows of small islands in the middle of the sea and mountains that march along the beach makes the scenery at Watu Ulo Beach more beautiful.😊 To be able to to the beach this we use two-wheeled vehicles approximately 20 minutes from my family's home.

I think my post is quite about this favorite place, and for friends who want to visit there and stay overnight, you should bring a tent or provide a place to rest there, because beach location is no lodging. As for lodging, it is quite far from the location of the beach.

My best friend

In this post I want to tell my best friend, or who is usually called a friend.

I had a friend when I was in school. His name is Wawan. Wawan is the second of four children, the first child is male, third child is also male, and the fourth woman. Wawan's house is on Jl. Merdeka Timur km 2.

We were friends since the beginning of school at SMK N 1 Sekadau in majoring in TITL (Technical Installation of Electric Power). Although we are not a class does not mean we can not be friends, we follow extracurricular nature lovers at our school, that is where we feel very familiar until now, wawan is the type of good person, he likes to help fellow friends who need his help.

What I love about wawan is his kindness and adventure, when the matter of kindness is sure dong I like. If the adventure was more like it, because I like adventure. Especially adventure with him, uhhh exclaimed.

The thing that I did not like about him was that when he went to school he often skipped, and when he was sleeping he must have wake up, he was a lazy man. but that did not affect me when he was friends.

I think that's enough of my story about my best friend. See you in the next post friends😊

My favorite food,, nyamiii

Assalamu'alaikum Wr.Wb.

Hi friends, meet again with me Choirul Suroso the man who is hard smile, he said. Hehe😃 . well, in my submission this time I'll tell you a bit about my faforit food and review the food. Hmmm😊, my faforit food is actually a lot of hell, there are chicken satay, chicken noodles, fried rice and chocolate. Although sometimes often toothache because of eating chocolate, but I still like the same name brown. Because the sweetness is different, like me when I'm smiling, wkwk😄.

Okay, we go on to the core of my discussion.

Lucky you guys if you like this one food. That is, fried rice. This time I will choose fried rice as my review material.

Why do I choose fried rice? anyone can answer?

Well, here's the answer. Because I like to eat, does not mean I want to eat anything yes,, of course I also have an option. This fried rice is not too tempting my taste, because the look and presentation are ordinary. I think the look is not enough for us to judge a food if it is not tasted at all, well for that you should taste the food you want to eat.

And it's true what I said earlier, this fried rice is very tasty. It also fits with my salty tongue. Besides this fried rice is worth the price with wallet and boarding children, the price is only Rp.12.000-, this is very affordable for this cuisine. So hungry, 😋😋.

This fried rice is called "Fried Rice Abu" located not far from where I live. Jl. Sui Raya Dalam, southeast pontianak.

Well, for anyone who read this post and interested to taste the food ,, do not forget to invite me. . ! hee😖.

My review of this ash fried rice, may be useful for those of you who may be difficult to find a place to eat delicious and cheap.

One sentence from me "my mother's cooking is not less delicious with this goren rice "hmmm.

Waasalamu'alaikum Wr.Wb.

My ambitions

What is the purpose of life? 

Do not let every day flow without you knowing what your goals are going through the days.

If your goal is to finish your work, do it with happiness. Determined and pray what you did today is not in vain. Be excited as if your goal will be tomorrow. So with this I set goals, ambitions, and dreams. So that everything I aspire to achieve is achieved.

A person can have ambition because of his dreams to reach everything. I am very grateful I can at the level of education at the University of Tanjungpura, because not everyone can continue this education, because it is inhibited by costs or because of the pressures of life is very urgent for us to work.

And thank God thanks to the blessing of God and parents, what I dreamed during my current vocational school can be realized, which can be extended to the course I want, that is Mechanical Engineering at the University of Tanjungpura.

Not satisfied just being able to study at the university Tanjungpura, my ambition too much, the first I must complete my education no more than 5 years from now. My other ambition is to make my own, but it will take a long time and certainly a good knowledge. Well, my dream is that I will save it until the right time for me to make not just a talk.

My goal should be too complicated. that is, with i can finish this education i will make me old. Because in our family no one can finish tarakan college, a happiness also for me when I can finish this education.

I do not really expect to me as very good as people like. With me I can just graduate and thank God really thankful. I wish I could be a good person to be useful for the community around his own life.

                    1. How is the college/university system in the U.S different from the college/university

    system in Indonesia?

             2. Which one do you prefer: to decide on your major early in your college year or later?

              3. Why do you choose to study at Mechanical Enginering is study major?

              4. What do you think can be improved from the college/university system in Indonesia?

Answer

1.  The difference of university system in u.s with university system in indonesia is sks/credit system,cost,and acceptence.where the system sks/credit in the u.s only 12, and student who  take sks/credit under 12 refers to the half-time student while those who take sks/credit above 12 refer to the full-time student.

 Cost in the u.s are expensive, if you are not a state resident or border-state you have   pay out-of    state  tuition which is more expensive than in-state tuition.

  Student enrollment in u.s twice a year. So unlike in indonesia who has to wait a year to               register again.

2.    I decided to choose majors at beginning of college.

 Because before I go to college, I been thinking about my future.  What I want to be when I have graduated with my chosen majors,  wheter in accordance with my ability or   no,   if not in accordance with my ability, then I will try as much as possible so that I can pass my   choser majors, the most important thing I can finish my lecture.

3.    Because in addition to the hobby of the world of machinery l also want to be a machine expert and l will create a useful item for everyone.

4.    I think the college system in Indonesia is good enough but the thing that greatly affects the lecture system in indoseia is the lack of teaching staff such as lecturers.

I'm Irul

‘’Assalamu'alaikum Wa rahmatullahi Wa barokatuh’’
                     
          My name is Choirul Suroso. my nick name is irul, I am 17 years old, my hobby is playing table tennis.    I come from Sekadau city, province kalimantan barat. I am the 2 and child of 3 brothers, I was born in Sekadau, 28 September 1999.

        First I started my education at Elementary School 05 Seberang Kapuas in 2006-2012, after I graduated in Elementary School,  I continued my education to Junior High School 05 in Seberang Kapuas in 2012 and I graduated in junior high school at 2015. Then I continued my education at State Vocational School 1 Sekadau in 2015-2017, and I was able to complete my education for about 12 years with the maximum extent possible.

        At first I did not intend to continue higher education, my willingness to me still at vocational high School is a machine course in Surabaya. At first I did not want to continue with higher education, but the thought changed rapidly. By the time I graduate in vocational school, I would like to continue my higher education again. Namely studying at Tanjungpura University with my chosen course, that is Mechanical Engineering.

Why am I changing my mind, and want to continue my education?

       The answer, because I think if I continue my education. I will definitely get many lessons and experiences that I may not have had for 12 years, and I think if I can finish my education in this school well. Firstly, my parents, family, and I. Will be very proud to be able to finish this college education. Secondly, I thought I would be easy to get the job I wanted. Thirdly, I hope that I will be able to make     a living for the people.

"We may draw up a plan, but what determines that plan is what creates us"
  So many introductions from me, thank you.
