Missed shots add up to difficult win for 76ers over Pistons (With Video)
PHILADELPHIA — You know that disco-style fight song the Sixers cue up every night? They usually play it late in the game, or when they've put the game out of reach. They had to delay that '70s tune until the final minutes of the fourth quarter Monday, but let it be known — the outcome was far from decided.
Against a team with one of the worst records, a team that already had come into Wells Fargo Center and stolen a victory, the Sixers played down to their competition. It took Jrue Holiday's huge second-half effort and Spencer Hawes' ability around the bucket returning from a month-long vacation for the Sixers to stave off the Detroit Pistons, 104-97.
"It's like sink or swim," said Evan Turner, of closing out games. "We saw it last year in the playoffs, when Jrue and myself stepped up. If the play is ran for you, you have to make the shot. Sometimes you just black out. You don't even think about it."
The Pistons, who went 0-8 before winning here Nov. 18, didn't go away without a fight. They took a three-point game into the last 90 seconds, thanks to missed free throws by Holiday and Hawes.
But Holiday made a 19-foot, pull-up jumper with 39 ticks to go to give the Sixers a five-point lead and seal the win. Holiday, who had four points in the first half, totaled 23 overall to go with eight assists for the Sixers (12-9).
Hawes finished with 15 points and eight rebounds in 31 minutes off the bench. The forward hasn't been himself the last few weeks, contributing little or nothing in diminished playing time. But the Sixers improved to 6-0 when Hawes scores in double figures, a show of the value in Hawes' scoring touch.
Hawes said his scoring Monday came from being active on the glass.
"I think the rebounds do that," Hawes said. "There was a time when I didn't concern myself with that aspect, but then when you're not counted on as an impact scorer, you have to make your impact in other ways. And I wish I would've accepted that earlier, but I didn't. Live and learn."
Nine of the Sixers' last 10 wins have come in crunch time, with Doug Collins' team taking a five-point or less lead into the final three minutes in those games to score victories. Continued...
"I like about six pieces of that blueprint," Collins said. "I've got to get a couple of the guys playing better."
The Sixers have a way of making it difficult for themselves. They did so Monday.
Using a Maalik Wayns' 3-point play, the Sixers cut their halftime deficit down to three, at 49-46. That stretch carried into the third quarter, and in a big way. Thad Young knocked down a 19-footer, Lavoy Allen converted one in the paint, Holiday hit back-to-back buckets — a 16-footer and a 3-pointer — and the Sixers had a six-point lead. All told, Collins' guys turned in a 17-0 run, spanning the end of the second and the start of the third quarter, to build a 60-49 edge.
The Pistons responded in kind, with an 8-0 spurt and knotted it at 71-all two minutes later.
In familiar fashion, the Sixers brought a 96-93 lead into the final 90 seconds. Hawes missed a free throw, Holiday clanged a pair, Turner clipped the front end of the rim and Jason Richardson bricked one.
If not for limiting Detroit to 0-for-5 shooting in the last minute and a half, who knows how this one could've gone? The Sixers took fewer free throws (12-for-23) than the Pistons made (28-for-33).
"We've got to get better at drawing free throws," Collins said. "Detroit does a great job. They drive, make contact, they hit you, and they're going to put the onus on the official to blow the whistle. We've got to start to create more contact."
Dorell Wright entered the game among the league's worst, with a .324 field-goal percentage. "I'll get going," he said. "Soon you'll be laughing, 'Man, you won't miss.'" … Nick Young (hyperextended toe) returned after missing the previous four games. … Royal Ivey (groin strain) and Damien Wilkins (calf strain) were scratches.

New York City Ballet pulls a rabbit out of its hat for jam-packed shortened season at SPAC
SARATOGA SPRINGS — New York City Ballet, one of the world's foremost dance companies, will present a dazzling, diverse repertory of 15 stunning ballets during its summer season at Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) July 9 through 13.
Highlights of its engagement include Balanchine masterpieces "Serenade" and "Theme and Variations," a special gala program featuring the Saratoga premieres of Peter Martins' "Bal de Couture" and Christopher Wheeldon's pas de deux "This Bitter Earth," and three performances of Justin Peck's "Year of the Rabbit," which also makes its Saratoga debut.
"New York City Ballet brings to its summer stage at SPAC, a world-class program of astonishing breadth and brilliance. From iconic Balanchine gems like "Serenade" and "Stravinsky Violin Concerto," to favorite works by Jerome Robbins including "West Side Story Suite" and "Dances at a Gathering" to exciting new ballets by Peter Martins, Christopher Wheeldon and Justin Peck, the interplay of tradition and innovation in this season is exceptional," said Marcia J. White, president and executive director of Saratoga Performing Arts Center. "Each and every program is a standout and guaranteed to offer an unforgettable experience for our guests."
Tschaikovsky Celebration
Major features of the summer program include highlights of NYCB's "Tschaikovsky Celebration," a centerpiece of its winter season at Lincoln Center. Five of the season's 15 ballets feature the music of the great Russian composer Peter Ilyitch Tschaikovsky. Legendary choreographer George Balanchine had a special affinity for Tschaikovsky. He once told an interviewer, "In everything that I did to Tschaikovsky's music, I sensed his help. It wasn't real conversation. But when I was working and saw that something was coming of it, I felt that it was Tschaikovsky who had helped me."
The Opening Night program will feature three Balanchine ballets set to Tschaikovsky's music including the virtuosic Tschaikovsky Pas de Deux; the classical tour de force "Theme and Variations"; and the "Garland Dance," Balanchine's 1981 interpretation of the famous dance from "The Sleeping Beauty," the first ballet the legendary choreographer danced in as a child in Russia. The "Garland Dance," which features a large cast, including 16 children, has never been seen at SPAC as an excerpted work.
Also presented will be the iconic, four-movement "Serenade," one of Balanchine's most widely danced and beloved works. The first ballet Balanchine choreographed in America, it originated as a lesson in stage technique; Balanchine worked unexpected rehearsal events into the choreography such as a student's fall or late arrival to rehearsal. The ballet, set to Tschaikovsky's "Serenade for Strings," features 26 dancers in blue costumes before a blue background.
The Ruby Ball: |Ballet Gala
The music of Tschaikovsky's "Eugene Onegin" is the score for Peter Martins' newest ballet, "Bal de Couture," which will have its Saratoga Premiere and one-time-only performance at the July 13 Ballet Gala, one of two premieres that highlight the special evening. The ballet features striking costumes created by legendary fashion designer and master couturier, Valentino Garavani, often known simply as Valentino.
Also featuring an original Valentino costume design is Christopher Wheeldon's pas de deux "This Bitter Earth" which will have its Saratoga premiere at the Gala. Set to Max Richter's remake of Dinah Washington's 1960 rhythm & blues song of the same name, the work is excerpted from Wheeldon's "Five Movements, Three Repeats." Continued...
Complementing Bal de Couture's "Valentino Red" costumes and inspiring the evening's theme, the gala program also features Balanchine's brilliant "Rubies," the second section of the full-length "Jewels." Set to Stravinsky's "Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra," the work features Karinska's famous, red jeweled costumes.
The evening culminates with "West Side Story Suite," Jerome Robbins' suite of dances taken from the award winning musical he created with Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim. One of the few ballets that requires dancers to sing as well as dance, the work features several song and dance sequences including "Something's Coming," "Dance at the Gym," "Cool," "America" "and "Somewhere."
Repertory Highlights The season will feature the Saratoga Premiere of Justin Peck's recent work for New York City Ballet, "Year of The Rabbit." The work is featured on the July 9 opening night, July 10 and the July 13
matinee program. Peck's first work for NYCB, "In Creases," had its world premiere at SPAC's ballet gala last season.
Set to indie-folk composer Sufjan Stevens' "Enjoy Your Rabbit," an electronica album and song cycle based on the Chinese zodiac, the work for 18 dancers is an elaboration of Peck's 2010 work, "Tales of a Chinese Zodiac."
For the new ballet, Stevens and Peck collaborated on all aspects of the production, including a new orchestration of "Enjoy Your Rabbit," created specifically for the ballet.
The work debuted on Oct. 5, 2012 in New York to wide critical acclaim.
Peck, a member of NYCB's corps de ballet since 2007, has been recognized for his choreographic promise since his debut as a choreographer in 2009, earning favorable notices from the New York Times, Dance Magazine and Vanity Fair among others. He earned a Bessie Award nomination in 2011 in the "Outstanding Emerging Choreographer," category.
Other repertory highlights of the season include a July 11 evening of "20th Century Violin Concertos" featuring Peter Martins' "Barber Violin Concerto," which explores the contrast between classical and modern dance; Robbins' ethereal, introspective "Opus 19 /The Dreamer" and Balanchine's "Stravinsky Violin Concerto," a signature "black and white" ballet and a work widely considered one of the choreographer's greatest.
Neoclassical simplicity and symmetry also narrate a July 12 program of chamber works that includes Peter Martins' spare and elegant "Hallelujah Junction," set to a pulsing John Adams score and featuring two onstage pianists; Christopher Wheeldon's poignant "After The Rain" pas de deux, created in 2005 for retiring NYCB principal Jock Soto, and set to a score by Arvo Part; and Jerome Robbins' uplifting "Dances At A Gathering," a work for 10 dancers set to 18 piano pieces by Chopin. Continued...
"In conjunction with this spectacular program, audiences can look forward to the return of our popular series of pre-shows, including American Girl Night, Family Night, Date Night and Girls Night Out, as well as engaging educational programs such as New York City Ballet's 'See the Music' and children's workshops led by NYCB dancers," White said. "An evening at SPAC offers limitless opportunities to learn, interact and enjoy; it's a live arts experience at its best."
Online ticket sales for New York City Ballet's Saratoga season begin March 18 at spac.org.
Ticket prices for inside seating range from $30 to $80; lawn seating is $24.
Located in the Spa State Park in Saratoga Springs, NY, SPAC has been the summer home of New York City Ballet since 1966.

Last week, U.S. stockpiles of crude oil unexpectedly climbed by 3 million barrels to the highest level in 13 years—a sign of weak demand. In addition, demand for new houses in the U.S. also dropped unexpectedly in June with purchases at their weakest since January. Despite the lackluster demand numbers and eased tensions with Iran, speculators continue to keep upward pressure on oil prices in hopes European leaders will take measures to stimulate demand.
"Motorists may see some stability at the pump as we enter August. Although gas prices will likely inch up this week, we shouldn't see prices spike like they did during the first half of the month," said Jessica Brady, AAA spokeswoman, The Auto Club Group.
A barrel of oil settled Friday at $90.13 on the New York Mercantile Exchange—$1.31 less than the week prior.

My name is Jillian and I currently live in Indianapolis, IN. I enjoy playing video games, reading comics, and watching anime, TV, and movies.
I am typically a very quiet and introverted person. Most of the time, I'd rather stay at home and play around on the internet or have a small get together than go on a night out. I have been interested in anime and Japanese popular culture since late high school and last year I became interested in cosplay.

Flute World owns Megido Music Publications which is known for its serious Flute Orchestra repertoire. As a part of the National Flute Association, schools can benefit from Megido Music Publications. There are many ways in which you can benefit from this large selection.
Texture through Voices
Musical textures are also sometimes described as being the ways in which the various voices are combined to create a harmony. A string quartet, for instance, has a particular texture to its sound that is derived from the way the various instruments combine and contrast. This also applies to the way that the various voices are combined in vocal ensembles and any other ensemble performance. A woodwind quartet, for instance, may have a very smooth and light texture, while a brass band would have a forceful, brassy texture.
Expression, Dynamics, Style, Tempo and Phrasing
Expression is not just an important part of music, it's oftentimes the entire point of performing or composing piece. The expressiveness of the musicians in an orchestra, the members of a band or any other group of performers does depend on them having a general structure from which to work. Improvisation is an important element in jazz, rock, blues and many other forms of music, but expression can also be defined and communicated to musicians in ensembles by describing the elements of music that are most conducive to expression.
Listen to your song in performance. Remember that, as Stravinsky said, art is never really finished, it's just abandoned at some point. That being said, hearing your song for the first time doesn't mean that you're done with it. You have to do some critical listening and, if you can, lean on friends or your teachers to give you feedback.
Listen to see if the song really matches with the genre. In some cases, you may hear mistakes that you didn't know were there. In other cases, you may notice that mistakes you were aware of sound great. Keep an open mind and try to listen to the song as if you've never heard it before. Concentrating on your mistakes will not help you refine the song; it will discourage you.
Mozart, according to legend, wrote in pen and never scratched off one note on his manuscripts. In short, the man never made a mistake when composing. Hardly anyone is like that, however, and most artists do a lot of refining.
After you've listened to your piece, concentrate on what you might want to change or leave the same about it. You may want to further develop some themes and you may want to completely abandon others. You may want to transpose the entire melody to a more accessible or agreeable key or you may want to entirely restructure the rhythmic elements of the song. Your song should be thought of as being made out of wet clay, not out of stone. You can refine it as much as you want and, as is the case with all writing, a good portion of writing music is actually rewriting music.
No matter where you are, great music comes in all shapes and sizes. However, for Haynes piccolo or Haynes flute accessories in Michigan, West Bloomfield, or Farmington, look to www.fluteworld.com.
Musicology was once a comparative pursuit. Western musicologists used to essentially compare the music of other cultures to their own and, quite often, tried to portray one as advanced and one as primitive. This has changed over the years and musicologists now travel the world collecting samples of the unique musical expressions of the world's peoples. You can learn a lot about music by listening to it as performed by other cultures.
Understanding Ear Fatigue
While you're listening to music from other cultures, you'll experience your own cultural predispositions as you've likely never experienced them before. One of the most common manifestations of this is called ear fatigue.
A great deal of the music you'll hear from other cultures will seem out of key to you, if you're accustomed to Western music. It's important to give yourself a break now and then. If you find yourself not taking in the music because the contrasts with what you're accustomed to are becoming all that you can hear, take a break. World music deserves to be appreciated and, like cuisines from other cultures, it's sometimes an acquired taste. The old adage "the appetite comes with eating" sometimes applies in this regard. As you hear more and more exotic music, you will develop a feel and an appreciation for its unique qualities.
Time and Distance are the Same
Musicology doesn't just address the differences in music relative to culture. It also addresses differences in music relative to time. For example, madrigals, Gregorian chants, fugues and many other forms are all European in their origins, but are vastly different due to the separations in time that exist between them.
Studying historic forms of music is another way to explore the music of different cultures. The cultures that produced the grand symphonies of Mozart and the elegant waltzes of Strauss were very different ones than exist today, and deserve to be explored and understood based on their own merits.
Analyzing without Bias:
When you compose a piece of music, much of the work is dedicated toward providing the right balance between comparison and contrast. The same holds true when you're listening to music from other cultures or time periods. Start by comparing it with what you do know. You'll use the same skills you've used to develop your skills as a musician thus far. Ask some basic questions about the music as you listen.
Remember that listening to music and enjoying music can be two separate things. While you're exploring the music of any given culture, remember to listen to it from an objective standpoint. In some cases, you may not enjoy some music from other cultures that much. This is fine, but you should still be able to listen to and speak about it intelligently and in terms that go beyond your opinion of it. This is called appreciation and it's a fundamental component of any serious musical study.
In order to appreciate music, you must study it. If you need sales, repairs, flutes, piccolos, recorders, new instruments, or used instruments, you can easily find a solution to your needs.

Flute World is a member of the National Flute Association and has been exhibiting in many regional conventions each year, all over the United States. In order to truly showcase your skills you can benefit greatly from shows around the world, whether you are performing in them or watching them.
Growing as a Musician
Developing the skills it takes to be a rounded musician can take years. It's important, however, to realize that practice is what makes it happen. Practice is what leads to great shows. It generally takes most human beings about 10 years to reach the skill level of a master in any subject. Music is one of the most challenging pursuits imaginable, but also one of the most satisfying. To reach your own personal best at music, you'll have to start by expanding beyond your current horizon and by embracing some challenges.
Reading Music
Reading music is a skill and it's one of the most important ones that performing artists have. That being said, not all musicians—even in classical settings—are expected to read off of music. If you're a blues guitarist, for example, it would probably look a bit strange to your audience if you were reading a song off of sheet music, especially considering the fact that the relative simplicity of the music doesn't necessitate that it be read off of sheets.
When you're reading sheet music, you'll want to work the way a politician giving a speech works: you read ahead of where you actually are in the music. As you may suspect, this takes some considerable skill. A combination of being familiar with the piece and with being able to sight read music is what makes very experienced musicians able to read very complex music without missing a beat.
Singing and Sight Reading:
Some people are very intimidated by singing. This is natural: hearing your singing voice is sometimes quite a shock and there's some embarrassment when you hit a note wrong, especially when it comes out comically wrong. However, the vast majority of professional musicians can correctly sing the notes within a comfortable octave for their voice and there's a good reason for this: When you can reproduce those tones on demand, you can hear sheet music in your head as you read it and, thus, you can reproduce it correctly, every time.
If you are teaching flute lessons, or in need of flute accessories or flute books, you should look to professionals you can provide you with the best quality, top brands like Powell, Haynes, Altus, Pearl, Yamaha, Azumi, Burkart, Sonare, Gemeinhardt no matter if you are located in North America, Australia, Europe, Israel, Mexico, South America, or New Zealand.
Flute World sets standards in the industry and serves thousands of customers world-wide. The professionals at flute world can help you better understand concepts such as stress, melody, and pitch.
Stress gives music its rhythmic feel. There are plenty of slang terms used to describe the feel of music, but the experience is generally very hard to describe and very easy to understand. A 3/4 waltz from the Baroque era, for instance, will have a hard first beat and two less-emphasized beats in every measure. A piece of modern dance music, particularly electronic dance music, will usually have 4 beats in every measure and, most often, those beats will have the same stress, which lends to the music a stomping, driving feel.
In traditional usages, the first beat of a measure is stressed. In 2/4 time, for instance, the traditional method of playing the beat would be strong, weak/strong, weak.
In three quarters time, the beat would traditionally be strong, weak, weak/strong, weak, weak. Syncopation refers to obscuring the beat by emphasizing notes that are normally stressed less. Some music, such as gospel, creates a very energetic feel by emphasizing the second and fourth notes in a 4/4 measure rather than by emphasizing the first and third notes.
Melody and harmony are staple elements of Western music. A series of pitches that are arranged in a deliberate way to get a specific effect is called a melody. There are rules to melody and mathematical notation is used to varying degrees to describe it in more coherent terms when the language of aesthetics is insufficient to quantify a melody. Melodies, like sentences, have coherent structures, use modifiers to clarify statements, reiterate important themes and, on the whole, constitute a form of language that can express what words sometimes cannot.
Understanding Pitch
Pitch is the quality of sound that is described as being high or low. The pitch of any given note can be understood in both scientific terms and in subjective terms. The various notes of the scale are called degrees and are separated by whole or half-step intervals, which refers to the amount of change in pitch between one and the next. The pitch of a tone can also be described as its resonating frequency. The standard, concert A4 pitch, for example, is officially defined in most places as being exactly 440Hz.
Pitches are also relative, however. In practice, following a very low tone with a very high tone has the effect of making both sound more extreme. Most melodies stay within an octave or two and most of them try to avoid jarring shifts in pitch. When there are significant changes in pitch, the jarring nature of it is usually offset by the creative use of rhythmic devices. In some cases, pitch and rhythm can be used quite creatively. Cartoons, for instance, oftentimes use ascending pitches and the appropriate rhythms to create a soundscape for a character ascending stairs.
With www.fluteworld.com you can enjoy the largest variety of flutes and piccolos for students and professionals alike.
Phrasing is one of the most important elements of music. Phrasing defines the way the audience perceives certain passages and can make a piece a great one or an awkward one. Phrasing is sometimes defined within sheet music and sometimes left up to the musicians.
When you say something with spoken language, you join the words together in what's called a sentence, which is made up of individual phrases. The phrases have their own meaning and work together to make your point clear. The same is true in music. A musical phrase is a set of tones that are played together as a unit. Using Beethoven's Fifth Symphony as an example again, the first two measures of the piece—which form the leitmotiv—constitute one of the most well-known phrases in all of music.
It sometimes takes time to develop a sense for the proper phrasing for any piece. Practice generally makes it apparent, though some musicians alter the phrasing of the pieces they play a bit as a way of interpreting them in a unique way.
Whether your needs are flutes, recorders, or piccolos you can turn to www.fluteworld.com to provide you with top brands, a warranty, and a repair service.
Harmony, texture and timbre can define a piece of music as much as the melody and meter can. Tonal harmony is one of the distinguishing characteristics of Western music and it is every bit as important as the melody in moving any piece of music along.
In music, timbre is a term used to describe the quality of the sound. It is also sometimes called tone color. There are both objective and subjective ways to describe timbre but, for most people, the experience is largely subjective. The timbre of the sound of a guitar, for instance, is much different than the timbre of the sound produced by a French horn. While these differences in tone color can be quantified by measuring them with various scientific equipment, aesthetic definitions are usually more important and more descriptive in everyday life.
The term texture, in music, refers to the way that various elements are brought together to create a cohesive whole. The term can also be used in the description of the timbre of an instrument, however. You could say, for example, that the sound of an oboe has a somewhat rough texture to it.
With flute world, you are given a wide selection of accessories, from educational and playing aids to gift items, as well as exclusive products designed to meet customer needs.
With accessories, you can better tune your flute or flute instruments to adhere to all of the qualities of music.
For example, you can better demonstrate the sternness of a fermata. Fermatas—which look rather like an eye in notation—are sometimes placed above notes in musical notation. This means to hold the note and it's often something based on feel rather than mathematical time. A dot to the right of a note means that you add one half of the note's value to the duration. A quarter note with a dot, for instance, is the equivalent of a quarter note tied to an eighth note. A note with a dot above it is intended to be played staccato, which means that it's struck sharply and that the note doesn't necessarily ring out for the full duration.
You can also benefit from flute accessories in terms of harmony and phrasing.
With flute world, they hold flute events around schools to educate students on selecting their new instruments, locally and nationally. There are different performance types and venues, each with different requirements.
The Formal Performance:
A famous classical guitarist once went on stage and sat down to begin his performance. Before he struck the first note, someone in the audience coughed. He stood up and informed the audience that, when they were ready to listen, he was ready to play. An exaggerated example of formality—and, perhaps, ego—to be sure, but formal performances require certain types of behavior on the part of the audience. There are some general rules that you have to follow at any classical or other formal music performance.
Most often, the musicians you see perform in formal settings will be accustomed to an audience that follows these rules of etiquette. Most musicians will not storm off the stage in the fashion of our offended guitarist, but they will become distracted by noise and a noisy, unappreciative crowd makes it impossible for them to perform up to their highest standards.
Formal music performances sometimes have dress requirements, as well. This is looser in some areas. For example, if you go to an opera in Europe or New York, you have to dress the part, in some cases. This means tuxes for men and gowns for ladies. If you go to an opera in Santa Fe, New Mexico, it's fine to show up in jeans and it's fine to tailgate before the performance. You have to know ahead of time what's expected of you before the performance. Etiquette in performance settings is far more than a formality.
Classical musicians—and other fine arts players—invest a great deal of their lives into perfecting their renditions of very complex pieces. Following the rules of etiquette is a way that the audience shows respect for the musician and respect for what they do. Be sure that you take the time to show performers your appreciation by adhering to the conventions of the venue.
Important: In classical performances, there are traditionally long pauses between the movements of a symphony or the various parts of long form compositions. When it's time for you to applaud, the conductor will turn to face the crowd. If the conductor doesn't turn around, they're still conducting and the ensemble is still playing. Stay quiet.
If you have to get up to use the restroom, do it quickly and don't ask anyone to get out of your way. They'll move to accommodate you if you just start walking through the aisle. Some performances do not allow people to come or go while they're ongoing, so be sure to get refreshments, use the restroom and take care of all other needs before the first note is struck.
Informal Performances:
Informal performances are much looser in their requirements, but can be just as rich in their offerings. Be sure, however, that you do pay attention to what the musicians need from the audience. For example, if you have a friend giving an informal violin recital, make sure that you stay quiet while they're playing and that you show some class after they're done by giving them loud applause.
In most settings other than the most formal settings, the rules are very lax. Remember, however, that some informal performances are designed to be participatory and it's considered poor etiquette to sit out during these elements. If you're attending a performance by a gospel group, for instance, there may well be call-and-response passages that the audience is expected to participate in. This can be a lot of fun and, if you don't participate, you haven't really experienced the music at all.
No matter what, if you are in need used flutes, new head joints, used head joints, flute repair, instruments repair, piccolo repair, overhauls, adjustment, or a warranty you can find professionals to meet your needs. When you look to www.fluteworld.com you can find the best quality and top brands such as Muramatsu, Miyazawa, Pearl, Emerson, Dean, Burkart, Hammig, and Hardy.
For appraisals, lessons, sheet music, and instruments in MI, Detroit offers great music lessons for the flute. These lessons teach basic concepts that are imperative to understanding and analyzing any music.
Beat rhythm is one of the most definitive aspects of any musical piece. Western music theory tends to prefer measures that are evenly divided into groups of two or three. While this is not universal in world music, it does provide a good framework for understanding, dividing and analyzing any piece of music.
At the beginning of a piece of music, western music notation defines the meter by means of a time signature. This time signature is expressed as a fraction, such as 2/4, 3/4 or 4/4. You will find more complex time signatures in some music, particularly in the experimental music of the 20th Century. By and large, however, most time signatures will simply consist of a fraction. The top number in the time signature denotes how many beats are in a measure and the bottom number denotes what type of note constitutes a full beat. The system is based on quarters, so a bottom number of 1 equals one whole note, a bottom number of 2 equals one half note, 4 equals one quarter note, and so forth. There are two types of meter that define the majority of Western music: simple and compound.
Meter Types
Simple Meter: Simple meter is the term used to describe music meter where the measure can be divided evenly into two equal parts. For example, a measure of 2/4 music can be divided into two beats comprised of one quarter note, hence it is a simple time signature.
Compound Meter: If you can divide a measure of music into even groups of three, the meter is said to be compound. Waltz time is the most famous of these time signatures, and there are many fine examples you can look to so that you can get an idea of how compound meter sounds. Strauss is a particularly good composer to listen to for examples of waltz time, which is mathematically expressed as 3/4 time.
The time signature provides the framework for the beat rhythm, but the note values define it in practice. Western music uses a system based on halves, as explained in relation to the bottom number of the time signature. A whole note constitutes one full beat, a half note one half of a beat, a quarter note one quarter of a beat and so forth. This is combined with the tempo of the piece to arrive at the proper amount of time each note should be sounded for. As an example, a tempo of 60 means that there would be sixty full beats in one minute. If the time signature was 4/4, which means that a quarter note constitutes one full beat, then a quarter note should be sounded for one full second and all other notes should be sounded for a length of time relative to that base measure.
For this and much more on sheet music, you can rely upon processionals from flute world. This company has the largest flute music selection and flute books, always IN STOCK.

A special afternoon of English music conducted by John Wilson, framed around John Ireland's Piano Concerto, performed 50 years after his death. Written in 1930, it was an immediate success at its première, its jazzy rhythms reminiscent of Ravel's G Major concerto. In this afternoon's concert it appears alongside works all written in the first three decades of the 20th century. These are Vaughan Williams's rhapsodic Tallis Fantasia, Elgar's evocative Alassio and Delius's glorious pastoral sound-painting describing the arrival of spring. Walton's boisterous portrait of naval life, Portsmouth Point, completes the programme.

Wicked is one of the most successful and beloved musicals of all-time. The show premiered on Broadway, at the Gershwin Theatre, in October of 2003. It has since become one of the Great White Way's longest running productions. The musical has sold millions of Wicked tickets on Broadway as well as in cities all over the world. The musical has been produced for theatres in Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and London's West End—Wicked holds the West End record for biggest opening. Two Wicked tours have been launched in the U.S. and each has been a resounding success. Internationally, the show has had extensive runs in Tokyo, Osaka, Stuttgart, Sydney, and Melbourne.
Wicked is based on the novel "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West" by Gregory Maguire. The tome runs parallel to the 1939 movie Wizard of OZ (which was based on L. Frank Baum's "The Wonderful Wizard of OZ"). Wicked weaves the tale of two witches, Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, and Galinda (later Glinda) the Good Witch of the North. The two strong female characters are both friends and rivals. The story takes place before Dorothy's arrival in Oz and then continues through her stay and eventual departure. Although she's referenced, you never see the ruby-shoe-wearing Kansan, however Wicked does explain the origins of the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion.
Wicked's music and lyrics were by Stephen Schwartz ("Godspell" and "Pippin") and the book was written by Winne Holzman (creator of the ABC television series "My So-Called Life"). The original Broadway production was directed by Joe Mantello and the musical staging was done by Wayne Cilento. The magnificent Idina Menzel originated the role of Elphaba and her wonderful performance earned her the 2004 Tony Award for Best Actress. The role of Glinda was originated by the amazing Kristin Chenoweth. The incomparable Joel Grey was cast as... Read more

"Fascinating true story"
True conversations between convicted serial killers and one young man that detail the serial killers crimes in every graphic and horrific detail. Very well written and narrated. Please do not download if you would be offended by detailed murder and crimes that to the general population are unimaginable because you will be offended. This book is for you if you enjoy true crime. Awesome book.
"Not up to par for this author"
The stories in this book are from the 1970's, the author wrote them but did not publish them until recently. Very slow & loaded with unimportant details. The narrator voices the individual characters very well. Unfortunately, I've listened to two other books in this series, her voice has become repetitive. Overall I would not recommend this Ann Rule Book, not nearly as good as her other novels.
Skip this one. Yes it is well written & considered a classic but that doesn't make it an interesting read. I usually finish a book in 4 days, this one took 2 weeks. Choose another.
"slow, dull and boring"
Boring. I recognize good writing, but this story lacked something. I could not bring myself to care about the characters. When I wasn't listening I did not reflect upon the story or characters. I had five hours left to complete this novel and I could not finish it.
Disappointing because others had rated this novel so highly. I would not recommend this book nor will I listen to future books by Julie Orringer.
"Slow and dull"
A disappointing listen. Very slow and uneventful. I enjoyed the authors novel Fingersmith but this book is incomparable. I do not recommend it.
"Blah, blah, blah"
This author wants things both ways. One example, Casey pretended to go to work for two years taking Caylee to a pretend nanny keeping Caylee safe from possible molestation by Caylee's grandfather. Yet on the day Caylee was murdered Casey was on the computer leaving Caylee to be looked after by her (possible molesting) grandfather?!? Huh? So many incidents like this in the novel, frustrating to listen to these and the constant conspiracy theories. More to this story but this novel is much too biased. Would not recommend this one.
"Harbor goes down the drain"
Boring and slow, a huge disappointment. Let Me In is written by this author as well and I Ioved it. This book brings none of the excitement, intrigue or interest I was sure would be there. Not worth taking a chance on this one.
"Immature, Trite Read"
A long novel that does not lead far...just trickles on without any large waves of plot to pull you deeper. Immature characters do nothing surprising...Predictable and not a little boring. A book best suited for YOUNG adults. Please no 2nd novel...
"Interesting Jump"
A typical Martina Cole novel. Repetitive in places, intriguing, but not a best seller.
Overall an average listen, good narration.
"Didn't hold my interest"
I really enjoyed the first book in this series, The Passage. This book does not have the excitement of the first and is more than a little disappointing. At times I was very drawn in but then the book would turn in another direction or go into boring detail. Sometimes I'd find chapters had gone by without me hearing them.
"easy light listen"
an average historical, novel, narrator is alright. I'd recommend this book if you are doing something that will require half a listening ear.

4dr Sdn AWD
Starting at $49,800 | Starting at 19 MPG City - 26 MPG Highway
Provided by NADAguides.com
All new for 2013, the Lexus GS 350 is a luxury sport sedan powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 306 hp and 277 lb-ft of torque, for a 0-60 time of 5.8 seconds. Drivetrains include RWD and AWD, both of which are paired to the same 6-speed sequential-shift automatic (ECT-i) with paddle shifters. Fuel mileage falls within an EPA estimated range of 19 mpg city to 28 mpg highway, depending on drivetrain selection. Features include automatic climate control, heated/cooled seats, power moonroof, leather interior, USB iPod� connectivity, and drive mode select. Upgrading to the F SPORT trim level grants the driver sportier styling, interior trim, and performance features like tuned adaptive variable suspension. Safety is comprised of 10-airbag system, dynamic radar cruise control, blind spot monitor, adaptive front lighting, and lane keep assist. The GS 350 is backed by a 4-year/50,000-mile warranty.
The Lexus GS competes with midsized sedans from luxury manufacturers such as Audi, BMW and Mercedes. With a powerful engine, sport-tuned suspension and an available F SPORT edition; the GS checks all the right boxes for a sports sedan-- and the availability of options like all-wheel-drive and a hybrid drivetrain add a further layer of versatility to the genre. A brand-new redesign means that the Lexus is packed full of the latest gadgets and technology. From the latest energy efficient climate control system to Bluetooth connectivity to the advanced direct injection engine, the 2013 Lexus GS is an up to date, modern take on the midsized sports sedan.
Lexus has redesigned their midsized sedan for the 2013 model year. Sporting a more aggressive and extroverted look, Lexus is looking to transform the GS into a legitimate sports sedan without compromising the spacious interior or legendary reliability that made the midsized sedan a hit in the first place.
If a car has sporting pretentions, it ought to have a good engine. Thankfully the engine in the GS is a gem. It's a 3.5L unit that produces a very healthy 306 horsepower. The engine features four valves per cylinder, variable valve timing and direct injection. The Lexus manages to hit 60 miles per hour in 5.7 seconds while still averaging 23 mpg in combined highway/city driving. The engine is mated to a state of the art automatic transmission, incorporating several nifty features taken from the IS-F high performance sports sedan. Downshifts can now be automatically blipped, and upshifts come with less hesitation. The transmission has several settings, including an eco-mode which revises the throttle mapping and climate control systems for a more fuel efficient journey.

Evanston actor helps update Pinter play
Mick Weber
'The Lover'
Soul Theatre at A Red Orchid Theatre, 1531 N. Wells St., Chicago
7:30 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays, June 29-July 15
$20 ($10 day of show), $10 students and seniors
Visit www.brownpapertickets.com/event/251297 for tickets, www.facebook.com/SoulTheatre for info about post-show events
Richard and Sarah decide to spice up their marriage in a most unusual way — with unexpected consequences — in Soul Theatre's production of "The Lover" by Harold Pinter at A Red Orchid Theatre.
"They've been married for 10 years," said Evanston resident Mick Weber, who plays the husband. "They have an extremely playful relationship." That's about all Weber can say about the pair without giving away a crucial plot twist.
"It's a very sexy play," Weber said. "It's all about intimacy and sex, and how you come to terms with your spouse or your lover about those kinds of issues."
The work also challenges the audience to figure out what's factual and what's fake. "The layers of 'truth' seem to be bottomless," Weber said.
Getting serious
Weber noted that Richard and Sarah are dealing with very deep issues, "But they do it in such a way that it's sort of teasing and fun," he said. "It's amazing how they take such serious issues and treat them in such a creative and nontraditional, thought-provoking way. It's a very interesting thing to see."
Weber's numerous theater credits include productions in Chicago at Goodman, Court, Chicago Shakespeare, Writers', Next, Victory Gardens and Chicago Dramatists theaters. In New York, Weber has performed at Circle Rep, Players Theatre, Soho Rep and Rattlestick. He also has regional credits at several major theaters.
It's a little surprising to see the veteran actor performing in a tiny theater space for a company that last did a full production in 2005. But Weber is excited about the opportunity.
"I'm thrilled to be working with them," the actor said. "They were doing some very well-received work five or six years ago. It's really exciting to be in the re-launch of the theater."
And performing in a tiny space actually seems right for Weber. "When I was starting out as a young actor, I was part of a theater group that had a performance space not unlike Red Orchid's," he said. "For me, it's a little like coming home."
Soul Theatre founder Ravi Batista, who plays the wife, has scheduled eight free post-show events that explore the issues addressed in the play in a most unusual way.
Added fun
These include lessons in belly dance, finger cymbal patterns and basic drumming to explore Middle Eastern music's sensual side (Friday, July 13); a discussion called "40 & Over Sex Secrets" by the manager of Chicago's The Pleasure Chest (Friday, June 29); and an exploration of communications in relationships (Sunday, July 1) and sex (Saturday, July 14) with family therapist Bridget Gregory.
There will also be a chance to indulge in gourmet chocolates while learning about meditation and yoga practices that can enhance your love life (Thursday, July 5); a discussion of the correlation between food and sex with nutrition therapy practitioner Michelle Gillespie (Saturday, July 7); and a program entitled "Sex, Dating & Relationships" with life coach Katy Flatau and meditation teacher Andrea Klunder (Thursday, July 12).
"Ravi is a very passionate and creative woman," Weber said. "She's been thinking about this production for a while. She's full of ideas."
Weber believes that the post-show events are a way of taking the issues of this 1962 British play "and talking about it in a very contemporary way."
As for the actor's involvement with the eight sessions, he laughingly reported, "I think I'm going to stay for all of those."

Event delegation and "sliding door" links?
Hi all,
Long time reader (of the main site), first time poster! Trying to find a cleaner way around the following issue.
Suppose I have the following markup:

Sliding Door Link #1
Sliding Door Link #2
Using a JS library like jQuery (I use YUI2/3 mostly but feel free to leave any responses in jQuery/mootools/etc. syntax!), I want to attach a single event listener to #demo and take advantage of event bubbling/delegation.
The event handler inspects ids to figure out what was clicked on. This means that if you click on an EM element within the link, the event handler will never know that one of the sliding door links was clicked.
Can anyone recommend a clean solution to this issue that preserves the single event handler/event delegation?
The half-solution I have come up with in my code is to create a faux-event object using the parentNode when an EM is encountered, which works fine but seems a bit too hacky. Here is an example of that (YUI3 event utility syntax here):
var clickHandler = function(e){
case 'sd1':
alert('sd1 clicked.');
case 'sd2':
alert('sd2 clicked.');
case 'EM':
var oE = {
target: e.target.get('parentNode'),
return true;
}; // clickHandler()
Thanks for any responses!I have an idea using jQuery (I don't really know any other libraries). In the event handler, try using target.parents('#demo a') to get the correct anchor if a nested element was clicked; this should work for any dom element and with an arbitrarily deep nesting. Take a look at the test page I was using:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN\" \"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd\">

PK way: Liberty caps comeback with shootout victory against Wakeland
BY Chris O�Dell, email@example.com
FRISCO � The Liberty and Wakeland boys soccer teams entered Friday's showdown with identical records against District 18-4A counterparts.
The Redhawks grabbed the upper hand in the race for the No. 1 seed with a 2-1 shootout victory that featured a late equalizer from junior midfielder Stian Sandbekkhaug.
"We were fortunate to come away with a win," said Fred Kaiser, Liberty head coach. "It easily could have gone the other way.�
"[Liberty and Wakeland] have been fighting all year," said Rusty Oglesby, Wakeland head coach. "We knew it would be a great match."
The Wolverines got on the board first with a one-timer from junior midfielder Corey Cantor in the 24th minute. Cantor's goal marked a dominant opening half from Wakeland that saw the Wolverines control possession for a majority of the first 40 minutes.
"We had a great game and had a great game plan," Oglesby said. "Hats off to Liberty for coming back and pulling it off the way they did."
Sandbekkhaug's equalizer didn't end the game's scoring opportunities though.
Liberty goalie Kyle Parks was forced to make a crucial save in the 79th minute when the Wolverines managed a breakaway attempt that could have allowed Wakeland to recapture the lead. Parks turned aside the attempt and put the two team's into a shootout to determine the night's winner.
"I hate to end a game like this on [penalty kicks]," Kaiser said. "I was just real appreciative that we pulled away with a win."
Hale began the shootout by stuffing a PK attempt from Romero to give Wakeland the early advantage.
Cantor followed suit with a goal to the left of Parks that put the Wolverines in the driver's seat. However, Parks would later come through with a key stop to keep the shootout going another round.
"[Parks] did his job," Kaiser said. "I know he is going to kick himself over a few of the shots, but he did what he needed to do."
The two teams then went back-and-forth until a Wakeland shot sailed over the crossbar, giving Liberty the 2-1 victory.
"That's soccer," Oglesby said. "I love soccer and I hate soccer."
The victory improved the Redhawks to 16-2-1 on the season, with a 5-1 district record putting Liberty a game ahead of Wakeland in the standings.
"It obviously puts us on top," Kaiser said, "but Wakeland is a ridiculously good team."
The Wolverines (12-5-4) fell into a three-way tie with Heritage and Centennial for second place in the district after the loss. Oglesby said the toughness of District 18-4A should benefit each of the four playoff teams.
"When you come out of this district you have an opportunity to make a long run in the playoffs," he said.
Wakeland rebounded from Friday's loss with a 3-0 win against Frisco on Tuesday, while the Redhawks remained in first with a dominant 6-0 victory against Lone Star the same day.

A beautiful modern bathroom is not only pleasant on the eye – it's going to add real value to your home too. Experts say that when it comes to selling property quickly, buyers put new bathrooms and kitchens at the top of their wish lists. The Mr-Skill website is a good place to find a bathroom fitter, because we screen all our members before we accept them.
Here then, are four easy steps to getting your bathroom upgraded:
Why not check with Mr-Skill before you accept a quotation – our members are offering incredible bargains right now, and you could save up to 25% on normal prices!
Firstly – Measure your existing bathroom and record the layout on a sketch. Of course, you don't have to follow the existing set-up with your new bathroom. However it is important to understand the existing piping arrangements, as it can save pounds if you don't need a major refit of the plumbing too.
Take your plan with you when you visit bathroom-fitting shops in your area. The purpose of this is to get ideas in terms of what would look nice for you, and how much it would cost. Good bathroom-fitting shops will be only too pleased to help with free designs. Remember to ask your supplier if their tradespersons are criminal records bureau checked, and that they are registered and qualified and gas safe accredited too.
Secondly – A home survey is next on the list, and it will enable your preferred supplier to fully discuss and understand your requirements. From the survey, you will receive a bathroom fitting quotation, which you need to review carefully before signing agreement. Remember to request any changes in writing. One of our regular London bathroom fitters advises you to ask about special offers before finally accepting.
Thirdly – Stripping out your old bathroom and installing your new one requires a little forward planning. How long will it take? Do you have a second bathroom to use during renovations? Who's responsible for rubble removal, and for the final clean up too?
Finally – Assuming that everything goes to plan, you need to know about the guarantee for the workmanship and the bathroom fittings as well. Don't be shy to ask, because the completed job needs to be just like your hard earned money – and that's perfect!
