Abstract: This study looks at Eun-Hye Kim's set of twelve piano suites, Les douze signes, for the advanced pianist, providing guidance for performances of this large-scale work. To prepare a better performance, it is necessary to examine Kim's compositional style and to analyze the suites. Chapter One introduces the purpose of the study and gives background information about the suites. Chapter Two contains a thorough biography of Kim. Chapter Three includes the background of the Eastern zodiac, giving details about the characteristics of each of the twelve animals upon which the work is based. It also provides the analysis including formal structure, harmony, rhythm, texture, timbre, as well as the place of the composer's musical language within twentieth-century style. Chapter Four continues with performance considerations for each movement. As each piece represents a different character, and also demands great skill to play, this chapter offers technical suggestions for more effective performance. Moreover, as this work is a character piece, an interpretation is offered about how to express the musical elements. The conclusion deals with why this particular work's issues are important, and how they might be approached in order to help pianists prepare a successful performance.


Obtaining a secured credit card is a great alternative for those with bad credit. Some situations such as car rentals, require the use of a traditional credit card. For those with bad credit, obtaining a credit card can be nearly impossible. Reputable companies such as Capital One have begun a program offering secured credit cards for bad credit individuals. These cards look and act like a traditional credit card. Unlike a normal credit card which allows you an approved credit limit, secured cards require an upfront deposit. Once the deposit is made, the amount of the deposit becomes your credit limit. Each month the cards purchases will be billed similar to a traditional credit card and payment will be required. The deposit is held in the event of non-payment. When the card is closed the deposit is returned minus any fees or owed balances.
Secured credit cards open up a world that was previously unavailable to those with bad credit. Secured credit cards make it possible to rent cars, purchase airline flights, and shop online. Many retailers such as car rental companies and even video stores require a credit card before they render services. A secured credit card looks like a normal credit card and only the cardholder knows that it is secured. The amount of the deposit is the available credit limit in most cases although some companies do deduct fees out of the initial deposit for processing.
Should the cardholder find themselves in need of a higher credit limit they simply add additional funds to their deposit. Each month the purchases made on the card are billed to the account holder and they can then pay in full or make minimum monthly payments just as you would on a traditional credit card. This flexible payment option is great for those times when finances are a little tight.
One of the best benefits offered by secured credit cards is that they often have a program in place for upgrade to a normal credit card after a length of positive payment history. This is a great way to begin to establish a positive credit history for yourself to help negate some of your past mistakes.
It is important to understand the interest rate, fees, and responsibilities associated with a secured credit card before obtaining one. Many secured credit cards have a medium to high interest rate associated with them. It is also important to understand that your deposit is not a pre-payment but simply a way that the credit card company ensures they will receive payment should you fail to pay on time. Many times these cards have a zero tolerance for non-payment or late payments so be sure that you are able to pay your bill on time each month.
Secured credit cards for bad credit individuals can be a lifesaver. Building a positive credit history, the ability to rent cars, and flexible payment options often make them ideal for those with bad credit. Understanding all the terms and conditions is important, and once that is accomplished all that is left is to spend responsibly.

In this talk I present an empirical method, quantitative model, and theoretical framework that can be used to quantify the complexity of a country's economy. I show that economic complexity can explain differences in the income distribution of countries, and their dynamics, since it is highly predictive of future economic growth. Additionally, I present predictions for the next decade and provide a preview of new online visualization tools that can be used to explore the productive structures of countries and their evolution.

MT JULIET
Mt. Juliet Elementary School to close Monday due to fire
Ivan Aronin, and Holly Fletcher
An intense but brief fire caused by a malfunctioning heating/air conditioning unit caused significant smoke and water damage to a second-grade classroom at Mt. Juliet Elementary School on Sunday morning.
The Wilson County School District said the school will be closed on Monday to allow teachers and staff to clean up from the fire.
Mt. Juliet firefighters responded to an alarm at the school just after 8 a.m. Sunday. The school's sprinkler system had extinguished most of the fire and contained it to one classroom, according to Mt. Juliet Fire Department Chief Jamie Luffman. Firefighters then quickly put out the remaining fire, he said.
Nearby classrooms received water damage, Luffman said. There was a burn mark a couple of feet wide on the brick wall of the school that went from the unit near the ground to the roof.
A low, horizontal heater under a window described as a "hotel-style heater" by Luffman malfunctioned and caught fire. The fire was "pretty intense in a short period of time," Luffman said.
The school district was on spring break last week. Teachers will be using Monday to survey, inventory and clean up their classrooms, Principal Ginger Ash said in a phone message to parents. School will resume on Tuesday, March 21.
"We are a family, and as a family we will get through this together," Ash said.
Earlier Sunday, fire and school officials expected the school to reopen Monday.
"Our plan right now is to get the other rooms dried out and have all of the classrooms functional for school (Monday) except for that one where the fire started," Wilson County Schools Emergency Manager Steve Spencer said Sunday morning. "Our cleaning crews will be working all day."
Firefighters used squeegees to sweep out water from the damaged classrooms and hallway. Firefighters also removed water-damaged books, cabinets, computers, carpets, and globes and other educational materials through the windows of the damaged classrooms.
Luffman said that the fire department checked out the other heating/air conditioning units throughout the school for possible similar malfunctions and the roof of the school, but did not find any problems.
It could have been worse.
"This is a testament to sprinklers and to fast response from the fire department," said Luffman.

This month's hot ticket has been on Fourth Street, where Taylor Mac is bringing Brecht back to life in the critically lauded Good Person of Szechwan. Rollicking, zany and heartfelt, it is everything we've been told Brecht isn't supposed to be—and it is absolutely marvelous. Although the show is built upon Mac's typically white-hot all-singing, all-dancing performance, Good Person is bolstered by its house band: The Lisps.
A Brooklyn-based band whose instruments include a suitcase full of bells and a built-in washboard, their look is whimsical but their sound has meat. In 2012, they premiered Futurity, a musical of their own. Astor Place Riot spoke this morning with bandleader César Alvarez, about doing musicals yourself, and how to keep Brecht from boring. Good Person of Szechwan runs through February 26th. I suggest bludgeoning whomever you have to in order to secure a ticket.
How did you get attached to this project?
Basically, Taylor Mac is an acquaintance and sort of a hero of mine. They were trying to nail down what they were doing musically with the piece, and Taylor said, "What about César Alvarez, and that band The Lisps?" They were looking for somebody whose musical approach would help them tell the story, but would also be fun and wacky and not quite on the nose. If you read what Brecht said about music in his plays, it's that the music should be its own, standalone thing.
What's great about having a band doing the music is that we're an autonomous creative unit. We have our own style and approach and performative language, and we bring that to the piece. We're not a pit band—hired guns who show up to play the score—but a creative group that's there alongside, commenting on the story, critiquing it, and enriching it. What's fun about the production is that it's totally wacky and fun and ridiculous, but it's also very Brechtian without being academic.
Brecht is an incredible lion of dramatic writing, and he came up with an entire philosophy of what theater should do. In the translation and canonization of that brilliant idea—of theater as a way to raise the consciousness of humanity—it's become academicized. The usual translation of Brecht's German word—which I'm never gonna say right—is "the alienation effect." [Director] Lear [deBessonet] translates it differently. She translates it as "making strange."
Translating it as "alienation effect" has led people to think that Brecht wants you to alienate your audience. But Brecht was a populist, a fan of vaudeville and silent film and jazz. He wasn't interested in alienating his audience—he just didn't want to hypnotize them. This is Lear's genius—she's figured out a way to take this incredibly dense work, and make it both poignant and relevant, but also really fun to watch.
Between this and your 2012 musical Futurity, The Lisps have gotten very theatrical. How come?
A band can be very insular. We love each other to death, but after seven years, you get sick of working with the same people. When we wrote a musical, we suddenly had twelve new band members!
Now we're a band that's gotten really good at stepping out of our comfort zone. As the MP3 generation takes shape, what you start seeing is bands redesigning themselves for a more collaborative and networked world. As analog as our band is, what we're doing theatrically has everything to do with the fact that it's not enough to just make albums any more. People are searching so desperately for performance, real life experience and three dimensional entertainment, that a lot of bands are starting to reach outside the typical touring and recording format.
It's the best thing we've ever done as a band.
I'm working on a musical right now with a friend of mine who's a musician and a composer. He's never written a musical before—what would you tell him?
My advice is, do everything the opposite of how you think you should. We didn't have any idea how to put on a musical, but we just put it up. Everyone who actually does musicals would say, "Don't do that!"
We just played our musical for our friends, giving us the chance to workshop it in this incredible way. We never played our musical with just a piano, we always had the full band there. That's what helped us get it produced, that we just did it ourselves.
I'm dying to see a DIY musical culture. When bands and composers and electronic musicians start pulling their music out of the forty minute set in the bar, and start telling a story. How cool would it be if there were an indie musical culture in New York?
The word "musical" carries a lot of baggage. But in the end, it's a deeply American form that's influenced everyone in some way. Everyone's seen musicals. Everyone's seen The Lion King. Everyone was in their high school musical. Even the most disaffected indie kid was in Grease or Hair. The form is much more open than Broadway might have led you to believe.
Are you planning on more musicals?
Right now I'm working on a space musical, which merges the experience of a musical with that of a video game. I'm interested in thinking about how changing technology is going to alter the way we experience musical theater. And we're continuing to work on Futurity, looking towards its New York premiere, which will be imminent.

South Philly Food Co-op
I didn't cook tonight. Instead, I ate leftover spaghetti and headed over to the South Philly Food Co-op's Spring Community Forum.
It was a great event and an awesome crowd. I felt inspired just looking out over a room of people who are truly concerned about where their food comes from, and who want to work with their neighbors to improve what's available. And as they pointed out tonight, there is much more to it than a place to buy produce and grains. The Co-op is (will be) about coming together as a neighborhood (or as several neighborhoods) and sharing ideas and educating each other, and so much more.
I was involved in the Co-op's earliest days, but life got in the way... it's really amazing to look back after being out of the loop for six months and seeing all that they've accomplished, most clearly, the enthusiasm in the room.
I can't wait for the doors to open, but we're still a while away from that. I hope to get a bit more involved than I have been (I've absolutely not been involved) in the coming months. You should check out their website and see what they've been up to. Here's their Facebook. They're a great group of people with an important goal.

Joe Francis is in trouble again
By Larry Putzgerald March 25, 2008
On Tuesday, two weeks after Joe Francis plead guilty and was let go in Florida, four more unnamed women filed suit against Joe and his corporations claiming they were "exploited and abused by being filmed in sexual situations or having direct sexual contact with Francis."
Plaintiff "PB" was 17 in 2002 when she claims that "Girls Gone Wild" representatives took her and three female friends to a hotel room, gave them alcohol, "which PB believes included drugs or additional stimulants," then paid her and a friend $100 to "engage in sexually explicit conduct with each other in a bedroom of the hotel room." She said the footage was used in a "Girls Gone Wild" video.
Plaintiff "PV" was 16 on March 31, 2003, when she says Francis "forced" her and a friend "to touch his exposed genitalia" in a Panama City Beach motel room. PV said Francis then paid each girl $50 to masturbate him.
Plaintiff "PJ" was 13 and plaintiff "PS" 15 in March or April 2000 when they and a friend were driving in Panama City Beach and "Girls Gone Wild" representatives "solicited" them to expose their breasts for cameras. They said the footage was used in a video and distributed worldwide.
Francis has another pending civil lawsuit in the area. Brittany Pitts sued him in July, saying he got her to expose her breasts for "Girls Gone Wild" cameras in 2003 when she was 16 at the time.
13-year-olds have boobs? That people want to see? Seriously? And what were these little kids doing driving in Panama City Beach during what I assume was spring break. Did they have fake IDs too? Because if I was running a business like Girls Gone Wild I sure as hell would be checking their driver's license to make sure I don't get sent to prison to be butt raped. 13 and 15-year-olds girls should be brushing each others hair and talking about the sock hop not getting crunk (this term is still hip, right?) in the hormonally charged cesspool that is spring break in Florida.
Thanks to Brooke who I hear is so gorgeous she made Heidi Klum cry.

Very spacious with a balcony and quick access to super markets, the beach and eateries. Plenty of cabinet space and a small (unplugged) tv available. AC worked great!!
The owner is just super friendly! She was so warm and charming and offered us some Raki on our arrival. Our stay was perfect!!!
Great hosts, very welcoming and friendly. Room is all you need with a wee kitchen and clean bathroom.
Great location for the Palace of Knossos, Iraklion City and getting to the Palace of Malia and Lasithi Plateau. There was even a beach about 500 meters walk from the apartment. Plenty of parking at the apartment for the car, a basic kitchen with a fridge and very efficient air conditioning. We had a 3 single bed apartment which was spacious and served our needs very well. There were plenty of restaurants and small supermarkets near by.
The owners Nikos and Hara are very friendly and helpful . The cleaning is excellent and is provided daily with a change of towels .
Very kind host, Goodyear location. Best value for money.
O apartamento tinha uma boa relação qualidade-preço, tinha uma varandinha para tomar aí as refeições e era espaçoso. No entanto é longe do centro, Hiraklio, é preciso apanhar um autocarro que demora cerca de 20-30m, dependendo do trânsito. Mas também há um autocarro direto para Knossos (30m) o que é bom. Para quem quer ficar só na praia vale a pena (10m a pé), mas não gostamos muito de Amoudara: é um local turístico, pouco característico, com uma estrada de comércio de um lado e do outro (restaurantes, bares, supermercados), as praias são muito ventosas e o mar muito agitado, pelo menos nas últimas semanas de agosto, quando aí estivemos.
Gentillesse du personnel, accueil chaleureux, taille de la chambre, confort de la literie, calme.

Towels were not clean. The apartment was overall clean but the towels had some weird marks.
Very good location, very friendly owners!
Acoustic of the hallways really carried other tenant noise. Tenants upstairs were very inconsiderate dragging chairs and furniture around at odd hours of the day or night. The fridge was broken-never got cold. The staff was around to greet me, but difficult to find (although they're right downstairs) otherwise-even rung the service bell multiple times more than once to no avail. Owners forgot to collect payment from me impatiently forcing me to schedule a wire transfer from over seas. Bathroom shower is tiny making it impossible not to soak the floor during a shower. There was a safe in the room, but no key given for it and no further explanation of where or whom to get the key from.
This is not really a complaint or a dislike just an observation! Just so you know I always struggle with Greek plumbing... The shower was on the small side and the whole bathroom floor got wet (there was a shower curtain but it didn't fully contain the water), there was no where to put ones toiletries whilst in the shower. But these are very minor as the room and shower were cleaned each day, plus the host and Crete, far out way this inconvenience.
The shower tub is small and the toilet flush is not strong enough, but the cleanliness of the bathroom is perfect.


WASHINGTON (AP) -- House Republican leaders have unveiled their proposal to expand the massive tax law they hustled through Congress last year. They're aiming to make permanent the individual tax cuts and small-business income deductions now set to expire in 2026.
The proposal also calls for new tax incentives for savings by creating a "universal savings account" for families that could be used for a range of purposes and would allow the tax-free earnings to be more easily withdrawn than is the case with existing retirement accounts. In addition, the Republican plan would allow the popular, tax-free 529 college savings accounts to also be used to pay for apprenticeship fees and home schooling expenses, as well as paying off student debt. Also, workers would be able to tap their retirement savings accounts without tax penalty to cover expenses from the birth of a child or an adoption.
"This legislation is our commitment to the American worker to ensure our tax code remains the most competitive in the world," Brady said in a statement. Making the tax cuts permanent would build on the tax law's economic boost by adding 1.5 million new jobs and increasing wages, he said.
"After handing massive unpaid-for tax breaks to Big Pharma, Wall Street and the wealthiest 1 percent with the first GOP tax scam for the rich, House Republicans are here with more of the same," House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said Monday. "Republicans want to add even more to the deficit, and even more to the bank accounts of the wealthiest 1 percent."
While the law slashed the corporate tax rate permanently from 35 percent to 21 percent, its tax cuts for individuals and the millions of U.S. "pass-through" businesses expire in eight years. The "pass-through" businesses funnel their income to owners and other individuals, who then pay personal income tax on those earnings, not the corporate rate. They are allowed under the new law to deduct 20 percent of the first $315,000 of their earnings.
Early this year, millions of working Americans got a boost from the tax law as they saw increases in their paychecks with less tax withheld by employers. But as Trump's populist attacks against free trade have erupted into trade wars with China and U.S. allies, trade tensions have overshadowed the tax cuts in economically vulnerable areas of the country that depend on exports.

Unfest is a popular FREE music and arts festival that runs in Tunbridge Wells throughout the May bank holiday weekend. Over the past four years Unfest has gone from strength to strength, showcasing 100 + live bands and performers at a variety of venues around the town.
Last year several Tunbridge Wells Writers contributed to the festival by performing Poetry in the Garden – a Word Up event staged at the Tunbridge Wells Forum on a gloriously sunny day to a large and appreciative audience.
Javabean cafe will be joining in unfest this year, showcasing it's poetry and jazz nights. Sue Marlow is organising the music side, and Carolyn Gray is organising the poetry/reading side.
Our initial idea is to offer a non-stop two hour mix on Saturday evening consisting of music sessions and reading sessions, and, possibly, combined 'fusion' sessions. The Sunday event will be more music orientated, featuring Jazz from Javabean's 'in-house' assembly and special guest performers.
Because of the nature of this as a performance, places to read will need to be booked with Carolyn using the contact form below.

I liked how friendly the people were, and ready and able they were to serve you in the stores, and the unpretentiousness of the people on the streets. All in all it was a very good street, but not really worth a climb into Queens.

O'Toole Wants More Private Innovation in Health Care but Supports Current System
Responding to Liberal claims that a government led by him would privatize parts of the public health care system, Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole said today that he supports the current system — but wants to see more private sector "innovation" to improve outcomes.
Speaking to reporters in Ottawa, where he is hosting a series of virtual roundtables, Mr. O'Toole said Mr. Trudeau is running a "misleading" campaign to convince voters that he doesn't support a public and universal system of care.
He said that, rather than cut health care, a Conservative government would make "record high transfers to the provinces to ensure every Canadian can benefit from free, high-quality health care."
Mr. O'Toole has promised to boost the annual growth rate of the Canada Health Transfer to at least six percent from its current rate, which is tied to how much the economy grows in a given year, with a floor of three percent — a $60 billion commitment over 10 years.
'I trust the premiers' says Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole
He also said he also wouldn't stand in the way of provinces working with the private sector to make changes to how care is delivered.
"I view innovation as a good thing. I trust the premiers to do what is best for patients in their provinces. If Saskatchewan, Alberta, Ontario or Quebec want to innovate to provide better health care, I support that," Mr. O'Toole said.
"Why? Because it gives Canadians more choice. The more choices Canadians have in health care, the better."
He said private, for-profit services could help alleviate the pressure on publicly run facilities, reduce wait times and save money.
Critics of privatization claim it threatens to undermine the current system, where access to health care is not dictated by an individual's ability to pay.
Mr. O'Toole's comment came a day after Liberal candidate Chrystia Freeland posted to Twitter a selectively edited clip of Mr. O'Toole speaking about health care. In the video, Mr. O'Toole said he would be open to more for-profit health care in Canada to help address some of the current system's failings.
Left out of Mrs. Freeland's edited video montage was Mr. O'Toole's subsequent statement — that universal access to health services must be maintained. Twitter has since flagged the clip as "manipulated media."
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau said Tuesday the edited clip accurately reflects O'Toole's attitude toward private health care.
"Erin O'Toole has clearly and directly said he is a long-standing believer in for-profit models of health care." Mr. Trudeau said. "He needs to come clean with Canadians on what exactly he means when he says that."
Mr. O'Toole hit back, saying that on Mr. Trudeau's watch, the private sector's role in health care has grown considerably.
In Quebec, for example, the province recently signed 20 contracts with private clinics to outsource some surgeries and reduce waiting times. Radio-Canada reported in February that some 20,000 surgeries in that province have been done at private clinics already.
Saskatchewan has outsourced some diagnostic imaging to private operators to reduce wait times for MRIs and CT scans. Under this so-called "two-for-one" initiative, for-profit clinics can charge patients for scans as long as they provide an equal number of scans to patients on the public waiting list.
In a 2016 letter, former federal health minister Jane Philpott said she wanted the province to put an end to encouraging private payment for medical scans — but the practice has continued.
Meanwhile, dozens of for-profit COVID-19 testing sites have popped up all over the country during the pandemic, offering a service that is also available at public clinics.
Mr. O'Toole said that, as prime minister, he would let this sort of "innovation" flourish but he'd "draw the line" at more radical reforms that would fundamentally alter the nature of the single-payer health care system.
"Health care must be free for every Canadian. No one can ever be left behind and all personal health decisions should be made by patients and their doctors, not insurance companies or anyone else," he said.
Provinces could face penalties for private care says, Mr. Trudeau
Asked why Ottawa hasn't done more to rein in private elements like the Saskatchewan imaging program, Mr. Trudeau said the federal government could impose financial penalties on provinces that allow for the private delivery of services by curbing how much they get each year through the Canada Health Transfer.
"We will continue to stand up for a public, universal health care system, unlike Erin O'Toole," Mr. Trudeau said.
He said Ottawa has had "discussions" with Quebec about its reliance on private operators for some surgeries.
Mr. Trudeau has promised $10 billion in new spending to clear surgical backlogs, hire 7,500 more doctors, nurses and nurse practitioners, and expand virtual options for primary care.

Ali Khan [Washburn University]: " On January 4, 2006, Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) will make history by taking the oath of office as the first Muslim elected to the US House of Representatives. He has decided to take the oath on the Quran, the holy book of Islam.
January 4th should be a day of celebration for Americans as well as Muslims in the World. It should be a day of celebration for Americans because Ellisons election to the House affirms the openness, generosity, and vivacity of American democracy. It is a day of celebration for Muslims because a Muslim will now sit as a lawmaker and show to the world that America can be a friend and not an enemy of Islam. It must also be a day of celebration because it will challenge the warped ideologies of bigotry, prejudice, violence, and Islamophobia.
Unfortunately, some American opinion-makers doubt Ellison's loyalty to the United States Constitution, which states that "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States. Some make the catastrophic suggestion that Ellison should be forced to take the oath of office on the Bible. Dennis Prager, for example, objects to Ellison's taking the oath on the Quran by arguing: "I want Jews like myself to take the oath on the Bible, even though the New Testament is not our Bible. Some object to Ellison's relations with the American Muslim groups, such as the CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations). Gary Bauer, the architect of the advocacy group American Values , mentions these relations to surmise that Ellison would "vote against any kind of serious war against Islamofascism.

Ok, so ... when i restart my computer an alert come up with this message: "the tablet drvier can't launch"or something like that ... i notice a that time a have two processus launched twice "Wacom_tablette.exe" and "WacomHost.exe" ... There's only one launch of "Wacom_touchUser.exe" this one seems to work properly.
I noticed also that the Wisptis.exe processus is launched and i wonder if it could creates conflicts with cintiq driver. ???
I about to uninstall 6.3.20-3 it and reinstall 6.3.20-7 hope the one works.


Do you know what www stands for?
Actually I have nothing to write tonight though I have been desperately looking for some ideas. Well, it is not a kind of my style to have no idea to write but I think there is always the first time for everything and I'm just hoping it is not going to be a habit.
So, though I have nothing to write but it doesn't mean I have nothing to post. I have new computer with new mouse so since they are new, both computer and mouse work smoothly and well until I can draw something just through Paint without any additional software. I just want to share the picture I drew with you guys and hope you like it.
Well, I think drawing is my new hobby besides music. A friend of mine said that 'we have to be creative to entertain ourselves if you want to survive living in a plantation', so here I am spending my time drawing anything I can draw, yes, I cannot draw anything I want to draw because actually I have no idea how to draw.
- Do you know what www stands for?
Waalaikumsalam Warahmatullahi Wabarakatu is what Moslems will say to answer Assalamualaikum. It is actually how Moslems say 'hi'.
Actually, I don't have any intention why I added that conversation in the picture. I just found the connection funny and there is enough space to put the conversation because I have no idea what else to draw in the available space.
Furthermore, I added GoodHope logo just for fun as well because GoodHope is where I'm currently working now and I think it will be nice if I put the logo so I can display the picture as desktop background of my computer.

We've made beef fajitas in the past, but we've yet to try recreate one of our often-weekly occurrences back home, Pappasito's chicken fajitas. Until now.
Yes, this entire spread of food was just for the two of us, but when you do fajitas you have to go all out.
We had chips and guacamole, salsa, refried beans, tortillas, garlic butter, Jack cheese, fajitas (of course), and blood orange margaritas to round the meal out. I marinated the meat in the fridge all day according to this recipe that apparently came from Texas Monthly— 1/2 cup pineapple juice, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1 cup of water, and a splash of teriyaki, then Dustin cooked slices of the chicken on our cast iron skillet along with some sliced onions. As usual when we make fajitas, they weren't quite as good as the original, but an acceptable substitute while being away from Texas.
Although not quite exactly the same recipe for the garlic butter from Pappasito's written up for Texas Monthly, we just melted a little bit of butter and added garlic powder, which was more than good enough for us because we completely doused our tortillas with it. The beans and salsa were premade, so this wasn't a hard meal by any means. But timing everything to be warmed and ready was quite the effort with the two of us running around the kitchen, mulitasking like crazy.
In the end, all of our hard work was worth it, but we are so looking forward to some authentic Tex-Mex fajitas. My theory— fajitas just taste better in Texas.
Is this for a pound I chicken fajitas?
Yes, that would be for a pound!


I should be essentially reading New Atlantis ( I don't get, how essential it is but still) and writing a 3k word essay/project on Utopia (cue for the readers: if you have any leads kindly enlighten me) and after re-reading Roth decide whether the paper for Philosophical Journal of my college should be on the same or on Camus (yeah, I haven't figured; yet. But I will, soon, yeah).
You get it? It's back to rant-routine.
I have to be the only fool on Earth who cancels a vacation (student exchange) to Sri Lanka during the autumn break. Why? Because I have pending college work- check. I have to make notes for the year- check. I have to write a project on Utopia- check. I have to write a Philosophy paper- check. I have to get a tattoo done- check. I have to clean my study table- check. I don't feel like going to Lanka- check.
Excuses apart, my folks are pissed to the extent they have cancelled the idea of me going anywhere for vacation for next year and half or my post graduation. Whatever they feel like because " I don't feel like going to Lanka". Right.
So, I'm here by choice and anticipating the games in Delhi. The opening ceremony is scheduled to start in few hours and I'm completely ready for them. I will blow the red vuvuzela Sinner got for me from South Africa, wearing Red Mard Brand tshirt and black Pucca Pyjama. Does that strike a chord? Ring a note? Ear training not enough? Let me explain.
My friends, believe, that I have taken a strong inclination to be a blonde, recently so I'm just living upto the expectations and sort of making them proud of me. This was needed (?). So I figure out half the guys in the world have the same tshirts as me and I am un-appalled by the fact. Okay well, I thought there should be a change and the change from night suit dressing to say graceful dressing. So, my rasta pony tail compliments my half chewed fingernails (specifications, yes) and I can carry off the fanciness coming from couture still.
Holy mother of God, that's one messed up post with thoughts flooding and no arrangement.
No. It'll be better than this confusing verbosity ushering the way out. Um, yeah this post doesn't really make sense but I swear one last thing and then I'll be back to playing monopoly. It's just about a proud moment for one to know Games are being organised in the midst of things like corruption, religious discourses and politics based on the same, floods and terrorism. I hope Delhi will make the best of these games and to those critique beasts, go manage your personal Utopia. Make sure it's well accepted on the international level.
Doors will open on the right. Mind the gap.

The 2021–22 Liga de Expansión MX season is the second professional season of the second-tier football division in Mexico. The season is divided into two championships - the Torneo Apertura and the Torneo Clausura — each in an identical format and each contested by the same seventeen teams. The Apertura tournament will begin in the summer of 2021. The Clausura tournament will begin in January 2022.

Changes from the previous season
The Liga de Expansión MX is a Mexican football league founded in 2020 as part of the Mexican Football Federation's "Stabilization Project", which has the primary objective of rescuing the financially troubled teams from the Ascenso MX and prevent the disappearance of a second-tier league in Mexico, for which there will be no promotion and relegation during the following six years. The project also attempts for Liga MX and former Ascenso MX teams to consolidate stable projects with solid basis, sports-wise and administrative-wise, financially wise and in infrastructure.

At first it was reported that the  Irapuato were promoted from the Liga Premier de México in 2021. However, on June 3, 2021, the Mexican Football Federation announced the opening of a selection process to choose the club that would occupy the Liga Premier 3 place,  because Irapuato must still meet some requirements to compete in the Liga de Expansión MX, three Liga Premier clubs (Durango, Irapuato and Matamoros), were chosen for an audit process that would determine the winner of the promotion. On July 5, 2021, it was confirmed that no team undergoing the certification audit approved the procedure, so there will be no club promoted from the Liga Premier, finally, the Liga de Expansión will be play with 17 teams.

As of the this season, C.F. Monterrey will have its own team participating in the Liga de Expansión MX, which will be called Raya2.

As of 2021 Tepatitlán F.C. will be considered as a full member team of the Liga de Expansión MX, leaving the status of guest club with which it participated in the previous season.

The league format will be modified, with the top four ranked teams from the tournament general table advancing directly to the quarter–finals, while clubs ranked between fifth and twelfth place will play the reclassification round.

Coefficient table
As of the 2020–21 season, the promotion and relegation between Liga MX and Liga de Expansión MX (formerly known as Ascenso MX) was suspended, however, the coefficient table will be used to establish the payment of fines that will be used for the development of the clubs of the silver circuit.

Per Article 24 of the competition regulations, the payment of $MXN3 million from Liga de Expansión clubs will be distributed among the last three positioned in the coefficient table as follows: Last place pays 1.5 million, the penultimate place pays 1 million, and the fifteenth place pays 500 thousand. If any affiliate club or new club from the Liga Premier is ranked in the bottom three at the end of the season, they are exempt from paying any fine and it will not be covered by any other club. Any club that does not pay their corresponding fine, for any reason, will be dissafiliated. The team that finishes last on the table will start the following season with a coefficient of zero. If the last ranked team, which was Pumas Tabasco, repeats as the last ranked team in the 2021–22 season coefficient table, they will be fined an additional $MXN1 million.

For 2011, BMW's 5-series has been given a complete redesign. Now in its sixth generation, the car is slightly longer and wider, up by 2.3 inches and a half inch, respectively, while the car's styling is much more conservative than the previous generation. The engine lineup has been changed as well; the 535i's 3.0L 6-cylinder dropped to a single turbo but now makes 306 horsepower, and the 550i receives the 7-series' twin-turbo V8, which produces 407 horsepower.
A 528i model, with a non-turbocharged version of the 3.0L six making 240 horsepower is expected later in the 2011 model year. All three can be had with a 6-speed manual, but an 8-speed automatic is also available.
The 5-Series lineup of models offers athletic and surefooted sedans that also offer a surprising level of comfort inside. Technology is also a strong point in the 5-Series, with performance and safety standouts such as Active Steering, Active Roll Stabilization and a night vision system. The 5-series Grand Turismo Wagon is a very fashionable and fun-to-drive alternative to a sport-utility vehicle.
All new for 2011, the 5-Series is offered with three different engines--designated by the models 528, 535 and 550. A 240-horsepower, 3.0-liter in-line 6-cylinder engine is standard on 528 models; 535 models get a turbocharged 3.0-liter six. A twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 engine making 407 horsepower equips the 550. All three models will ultimately be offered with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive, although initially, rear-wheel drive will be the only option. Each of the models comes with a standard 6-speed manual transmission, but a new 8-speed automatic transmission with taller overdrive gears aimed at offering higher fuel economy is optional. The new 5-Series also includes BMW's Brake Energy Regeneration system, which charges the battery when the car is decelerating or braking, rather than running the alternator all the time.
The M5 model resides at the top of BMW's performance lineup, and for 2011, it's powered by a 550-hp version of the twin-turbo 4.4L V8, replacing the 500-horsepower V10 engine offered in 2010. Power gets to the road via an 8-speed automated manual transmission, or by a more conventional 6-speed manual. The M5 utilizes a specially tuned sport suspension and unique cross-drilled disc brakes. If the brute force and roaring exhaust note aren't enough, M5-specific wheels, a special spoiler and air diffuser further distinguish it from the rest of the 5-Series.
The 5-Series models have a roomy interior, with 10-way adjustable front seats that are excellent for long trips, enough back seat space for adults and a trunk with an impressive 18.2 cubic feet of space. The instrument panel looks much like the one offered in the 7-series, with updated black panel displays and new steering wheel mounted navigation controls. BMW's iDrive system returns, but with an updated interface aimed at being easier to use.
BMW offers a wide array of technological features on its new 5-Series, including a new Top View camera system to aid the driver in seeing while parking and a Parking Assistant, which at speeds up to 22 mph, automatically scans the curb for large enough parking spaces for the car. Once a space is selected by the driver and the car is put in reverse, the computer takes over, controlling the steering and parking the car, with the driver only working the gas and brake. Active Roll Stabilization simulates much stiffer anti-roll bars with an electronically controlled pump system and Active Steering helps steer the car back toward a more stable situation when the electronic stability control intervenes.
Front side-impact and head-protecting airbags for front and rear outboard occupants are standard. Rear side airbags are optional.
To help increase alertness and safety, BMW has designed a lane departure warning system. A clever night vision system is available, which helps spot and avoid animals in the darkness ahead, and a new Side View system mounts cameras in both front fenders, allowing the driver to see around corners that might otherwise be blind. BMW's active cruise control is one of the most advanced offered, capable of even stopping and restarting the vehicle in traffic. Other unusual options include a heads-up display, high-definition (HD) radio and a high-beam assist feature.

BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 128i Coupe, 128i Convertible, 328i Sedan, 328i xDrive Sedan, 328i Coupe, 328i Convertible, 328i Sports Wagon and Z4 sDrive 30i, 2011-2012 135i Coupe, 135i Convertible, 335i Sedan, X5 xDrive 35i, and X6 xDrive 35i, 2011 335i xDrive Sedan, 335i Coupe, 335i Convertible, 528i Sedan, 535i Sedan, 535i xDrive Sedan, X3 xDrive 28i, and X3 xDrive 35i, 2010 X3 xDrive 30i, and X5 xDrive 30i, 2012 640i Coupe, and 640i Convertible and 2010-2012 535i Gran Turismo vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the bolts that secure the housing for the variable camshaft timing adjustment (VANOS) unit can loosen over time and may possibly break.
If the bolts loosen or break the engine may have reduced power or stall. An engine stall increases the risk of a crash.
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the four VANOS housing bolts for both VANOS units (intake and exhaust), free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in May 2014. In addition, owners of approximately 170,172 model year 2010-2012 BMW vehicles equipped with inline 6 cylinder engines not covered by this recall, will receive an extended warranty to address this condition. Owners may contact BMW at 1-800-525-7417.

The affected vehicles may have received a replacement Sensor Cluster Unit (SCU) during a service visit. These SCUs have an acceleration sensor that may have been incorrectly programmed and, as a result, the SCU may not accurately determine if activation and deployment of the air bags, safety belt pre-tensioners and head restraints is necessary in the event of a crash.
Depending on the severity of the crash, inadequate activation of the driver and/or passenger air bags, safety belt pre-tensioners and active head restraints may increase the risk of injury.
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the SCU, free of charge. The recall began December 2016. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.

Q: ActiveAdmin error pushing to heroku, existing config built When I push my rails 4 app to Heroku, I receive the following fatal rake error:

You're trying to register ActiveAdmin::Comment as Comment, but the existing ActiveAdmin::Resource config was built for Comment!

I have a Comment model which has an ActiveAdmin file like this:
# /app/admin/comment.rb
ActiveAdmin.register Comment do
end

An ActiveAdmin migration creates the following active_admin_comments table. I am wondering if this might be related to the conflict, but I am not sure.
class CreateActiveAdminComments < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    create_table :active_admin_comments do |t|
      t.string :namespace
      t.text   :body
      t.string :resource_id,   :null => false
      t.string :resource_type, :null => false
      t.references :author, :polymorphic => true
      t.timestamps
    end
    add_index :active_admin_comments, [:namespace]
    add_index :active_admin_comments, [:author_type, :author_id]
    add_index :active_admin_comments, [:resource_type, :resource_id]
  end

  def self.down
    drop_table :active_admin_comments
  end
end

I did have ActiveAdmin working fine on Heroku before this, including both of the files above. I cannot think of what has changed since the last push that could affect the Comment model. Any points of direction would be greatly appreciated!

Intermediate Punk Drum Beats
Download MP3 1 w/ Click
This free drum lesson is the next step in learning how to play punk rock. Dave Atkinson teaches five fun and challenging punk rock drum beats that incorporate tom-tom rhythms, double bass, and even some intricate hi-hat work. Each punk rock drum beat is played at a slow tempo – enabling you to see exactly what's being played – and with play-along loops – so you can check how they sound when used in context.
These punk rock drum lessons build off of each other. Even if you're not a beginner drummer, chances are you'll still learn something new from the free drum lesson "Beginner Punk Rock Drum Beats", or at least get some inspiration from the drum beats you'll find within. You can also use that lesson to learn about punk rock bands and drummers that have had a huge influence on this style of music. If you're still a beginner drummer, we encourage you to check the free drum lesson "Beginner Punk Rock Drum Beats" before you give this one a go. There, you'll learn about essential concepts and techniques that will enable you to go through this intermediate free drum lesson a lot quicker, once you've mastered them.
Drum Beats
Exercise #1 is an 8th note single stroke roll played between the floor tom and the bass drum, that's accompanied by snare shots on counts 2 and 4. The coolest thing about this punk rock drum beat is that you can actually use it as an exercise for developing a single stroke roll between your bass drum foot and your hands. This is a very useful concept to master since it will start you on the right track for playing hand-to-feet combinations and linear drum beats.
Exercise #2 is a 16th tom-tom drum beat. The biggest problem you'll find here is getting your bass drum pedal to play in unison with some of the tom strokes. Starting out slowly and learning the stroke sequence first will enable you to get around that issue. You can clean up the pattern with a metronome later on. Make sure everything lines up perfectly with the click when you do so.
Exercise #3 is a very cool sounding one. If you take the 16th note triplets out of the equation for a moment, you'll notice you have a fairly basic punk rock drum beat on your hands. Start by learning that pattern. Once you have it down, you can move your attention to the 16th note triplet hi-hat pattern on count 2.
The 16th note triplet pattern is actually the single stroke four, one of the 40 essential drum rudiments. This punk rock drum beat is a very good excuse for you to start practicing the single stroke four right away. In the video, Dave Atkinson plays a left hand lead single stroke four, so he can keep playing the hi-hat with his right hand after the hi-hat is hit on count 3 while open. You can use whatever hand you'd like to start off this rudiment. Practice the single stroke four on the hi-hat while using your leg to operate the opening and closing of the hi-hat. Start out slowly, since you may not be used to playing the single stroke four while opening the hi-hat. Once you get comfortable, play the whole punk rock drum beat as notated on the sheet music below.
Exercise #4 seems quite simple, but it's actually a challenging punk rock drum beat to master. The hi-hat is played on all the 8th notes while the snare drum is stricken on the "and" of each count. The bass drum's rhythmic pattern is very syncopated. The majority of strokes are to be played on the "e's" and "ahs". Make sure everything lines up perfectly once you increase the speed at what you're playing this bad boy.
Exercise #5 is a two-bar pattern. The hi-hat is played on all the 8th notes and the snare drum on the "and" of every count. The 16th note bass drum double strokes on counts 2 and 4 from the first bar are challenging to play at faster tempos. You'll have to learn how to play the heel-toe technique or how to play the slide technique to do so.
The second bar encompasses a double bass 16th note single stroke roll. This is the most common pattern played with the double bass drum pedal. Still, you have to be careful with it, since you'll be playing the snare drum over it on an odd place. This can throw you off a bit. Take your time with this punk rock drum beat and be extra careful while transitioning from the first bar to the second one. You'll want to create a very smooth transition from the syncopated bass drum patter played with a single pedal, to a ruthless 16th note single stroke roll played with a double bass drum pedal. Start out slowly and work your way up as you master each tempo mark. Remember, speed comes with control.
Once you've mastered these punk rock drum beats, test your new skills with the MP3 loops provided with this free drum lesson and the MP3 jam tracks on the free drum lesson "Punk Rock Play-Along". Playing along to your favorite punk rock songs will help you develop the chops and feel needed to become a good and competent punk rock drummer as well. You can use those songs to learn how to play new punk rock drum beats and drum fills totally by ear. Learning how to play songs by ear is a great way of training your brain to recognize patterns instantly. The more you do so the better you'll become at it. There is no secret formula, keep practicing and things will start to come.
Once you've mastered these five punk rock drum beats, we encourage you to check the free drum lesson "Double Bass Drum Beats". Double bass drumming is common in the world of punk drumming. So this is a great free drum lesson for you to get acquainted with new double bass patterns that you can use with punk rock hand patterns.

Renan says:
Is this site new? I know Jared and Dave from other sites/lessons.
Hey Renan
Yes, this site is brand new. Higher quality video lessons, higher quality live lessons (the first one is today actually), a new and improved section with drummer bios. There will be a lot more to come in the following months regarding new video lessons, features for the site, and drummer bios.
There will be a forum also.
All the best man, and hope to see you here a lot.
Naru says:
the top rated conmemt is bullshit and insulting. he is one of the most talented drummers to ever live, and you're all assholes
@Hugo Janado
Thanks!! That will definitely help!
I have a few questions..
When reading the music is the snare a space or line? I looked it up and it said the snare was the third SPACE from the bottom but when I went to play it, the snare notes were on the third LINE from the bottom..or am I just reading it wrong?
Hey Elizabeth
There is no standard drum notation, so everyone has their own way of writing it. With Railroad Media Inc. websites and products, the snare is written on the middle line of the staff. This is so because Jared noticed his personal students could read the snare better on the third line than on the third space.
There is no right or wrong here. You can use either notation. It's your call.
Hope this helps out.

Don't miss this incredible interview with Dr. Rob Rescigno, Dean of the College of Business at Wilmington University, as he offers wisdom and practical advice on how to connect deeply with the people you lead. The focus is employee motivation and retention, and if you're a leader, you need to hear this.
Rob brings a ton of leadership take-aways to the conversation, and you can't miss what he says about the power of reflection and always remaining curious.
He tells us how the leader has to stay in touch with his/her people by listening, by understanding their needs, and by providing them the necessary resources to be successful. This builds an environment of trust, which needs to funnel down through all the layers of the organization for success.
He tells us about the power of mentors and how they have helped him along the way.
He tells us about the benefits of reflection and that looking back on your day leads to greater improvements for tomorrow.
Listen to him as he describes how he works with people to build partnerships.
He tells us how staying curious is a powerful leadership attribute and how asking questions can lead to making things better.
In the end, he humbly wraps up with how each day really is not about him — "you don't have to be the center of attention" — and how he learned to focus on character by accepting criticism and listening better.

Breast-feeding is great for moms and babies, but new research finds it may not ward off childhood obesity as previously thought.
March 18, 2013, 10:12 a.m.
Breast-feeding is good for moms and babies, but new research shows that it may not be the cure for childhood obesity that researchers previously thought it was.
Previous research suggested that breast-feeding may help to curb childhood obesity. But researchers now think that other factors might have actually been at work there. For instance, it's possible that mothers who choose to breast-feed might also be more likely to feed their babies healthy foods later in life. But that doesn't mean that breast-feeding led to improvements in childhood obesity rates.
For the new study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers studied 17,000 mothers and their babies in Belarus. All of the mothers in the study breast-fed their babies, at least initially. So the study was able to compare infants that were breast-fed for various time periods, rather than comparing babies that were breast-fed with those who were not.
The research team, led by Richard Martin, from the University of Bristol in the Unisted Kingdom, found that toddlers who were breast-fed as babies had fewer stomach infections and eczema and better thinking and memory skills than the kids who were not. But when comparing body fat, researchers tracked the children up through age 11 and found no differences related to breast-feeding. Between 14 and 16 percent of all the kids in the study were overweight and about 5 percent were obese and this was unaffected by whether or not the kids were breast-fed or even how long they were breast-fed.
"It's just a reality check that in itself, promoting breast-feeding, while a good thing and will have other health benefits, is unlikely to have any effects on stemming the obesity epidemic," said Martin.
There are still lots of great reasons to breast-feed your baby — but promoting it as a strategy to fight childhood obesity may not be effective.

European Parliament Approves New Executive Commission
The European Parliament, the legislative arm of the European Union, has approved members of a new EU executive commission after nearly three weeks of negotiations.
The new lineup was approved early Thursday by a wide margin. The vote means incoming commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso will likely take office Monday.
After the vote, Mr. Barroso thanked the parliament for the strong vote of confidence and said he recognizes the responsibility that implies.
The newly-elected commission members were nominated by Mr. Barroso. The commission had been expected to be in place late last month, but Mr. Barroso withdrew his first nominees when parliament objected to some of them.
