Our trip starts with an orientation in Guilin, a town has a surprisingly long history dating back to Ming Dynasty. North of Guilin, we explore Longsheng, area populated by several indigenous peoples, notably the Dong, Miao, Yao, and Zhuang. The impressive spot is the Longji Titian (Dragon's Backbone Rice Terraces) - a mesmerizing pattern of undulating fields that have been cut into the hills up to a height of 2,625 ft.
Afterward, we start a three-day trek along trails traverses terraced slopes and bamboo forests and connect several Zhuang, Dong and Yao minority villages in the area. Onwards to Jiuwu Village, literally "old house" village, passing through several other minority villages on the way. Many of these villages are very remote, are only accessible via the trail and have hardly been touched by the many changes sweeping through other parts of the country. After three days on the trail, we tour villages in incredibly scenic Yangshuo, and then enjoy the world-famous karst landscape of the Li River on a boat trip back to Guilin.
Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Fly to Guilin. Reed flute caves, Fobo hills.
Day 2: Drive to Longsheng. Visit the Titian, terraced fields and trek to Pingan village where we stay overnight in local Zhuang people's home.
Day 3: Trek 5 hours to Xiaozhai Village though bamboo forests and many minority villages.
Day 4: Continue the trek for 7 hours to Jiuwu village. Today's trek includes lots of up and downs, the most challenging day. However, you are rewarded with endless views of glistening rice paddies and small hamlets of wooden houses.
Day 5: Trek to Bojitang village, which concludes this three-day trek. We then drive to Yangshuo.
Day 6: Biking and hiking around Yangshuo.
Day 7: Li River Cruise and fly out Guilin.

Thousands of savers face fixed-rate crashPosted on: 13 July 2009 by Gareth Hargreaves
Savers with £22bn tied up in fixed-rate bank and building society accounts maturing in the next six months need to move their money as soon as their terms mature.
And they must prepare themselves for sharp falls in income. Someone with a bond maturing now will see their returns fall by more than half if they sign up for a new bond with the same provider.
A year ago, banks and building societies paid more than 7% before tax. But those same providers might no longer pay top rates.
For example, last year Nationwide paid 5.6% after tax (7% before tax) on its one-year fixed- rate bond available over the internet.
Today, it's paying just 2.4% (3%) for savers wanting to fix for a year. After tax, this will cut your income from £560 to £240 on each £10,000 in your account, a drop of 63%.
Derbyshire Building Society paid 5.61% (7.01%) this time last year to savers willing to tie up their money for a year. Today, it's 3% (3.75%).
West Bromwich paid an even higher 5.68% (7.05%), which is down to 2.6% (3.25%).
If you fail to tell a bank or building society where you want to move your money once it comes to the end of the fixed-rate term, some will move it themselves into a maturity account, where the rate can be as low as 0.08% after tax (0.1% before tax).
Top one-year bonds now pay 3% (3.75%), but if you are willing to tie up your money for up to 24 months, the rates are even better. Over 18 months, you can earn 3.2% (4%) or up to 3.6% (4.5%) for two years.
Some fixed-rate bonds now pay less than top easy access accounts. You can earn more than 2.4% (3%) in an easy access account where you can dip into your money or add to it at any time.
But on the less flexible National Savings & Investments Guaranteed Growth Bond issue 47, where you agree not to touch your money for 12 months, you earn only 0.8% (1%).

Mercedes-Benz Might Overtake Audi by 2015: Report
Audi made headlines this year after overtaking Mercedes-Benz for the first time to become the world's second-largest luxury automaker.
The Center of Automotive Research (CAR) at the university of Duisburg-Essen in Germany is predicting that Mercedes will be able to regain its former position by 2015. According to the forecast, BMW will remain in the top spot with 1.76 million vehicles, while Mercedes will sell an expected 1.68 million and Audi with a slightly trailing 1.63 million units.
Part of the automaker's plan to reach that goal is to introduce 10 new models by 2015, one of which we saw in Geneva last month: the revamped A-Class.
CEO Dieter Zetsche made it clear in a speech delivered earlier this month that the brand is actively strategizing to regian the top spot it lost to BMW in 2005.
The CSC concept, which was revealed two weeks ago, is another example of how the brand is pushing forward to further modernize its image.
It goes without saying that neither Audi nor BMW will sit idly by and let Mercedes retake the pole position, but with 10 models coming in over the next three years, the competition will be steep. Mercedes is also taking its GLK small SUV into the efficiency-minded market by offering a BlueTEC diesel in 2013.

- existentialism
- existentialism ex`is*ten"tial*ism, n. (Philosophy) a philosophical theory or attitude having various interpretations, generally emphasising the existence of the individual as a unique agent with free will and responsibility for his or her own acts, though living in a universe devoid of any certain knowledge of right and wrong; from one's plight as a free agent with uncertain guidelines may arise feelings of anguish. Existentialism is concerned more with concrete existence rather than abstract theories of essences; is contrasted with {rationalism} and {empiricism}; and is associated with Kierkegaard, Heidegger and Sartre, as well as others.

Slip Stone Pan
The Slip Stone Pan is a rock-hard pan that gives you the experience of frying your food on a hot stone. It is non-stick, meaning that gooey cheese, melted chocolate, and even sticky candy come right off, and the Slip Stone Pan seals in flavor without having to add oils and fats to your food. It comes in four layers of non-stick stonelike material and an aluminum pan holder. Besides that, most professional chefs know that cooking on a hot stone is the best way to make food. The Slip Stone pan is also extremely durable and can be used for years.
The Claim
The infomercial claims that ordinary frying pans make the food stick and drain the food of its natural juices, making them dry and unappealing, but Slip Stone Pan is the solution to that. It is made from a rock-hard surface and is non-stick. It shows cheese, rock candy, and chocolate coming off of the pan. The infomercial says that the pan sears in the flavor without oils and fats. They also claim that chefs know that the secret to a good meal is cooking in a hot stone. The Slip Stone Pan can apparently take years of abuse as well.
Total Cost Breakdown

A Complete Review
Slip Stone Pan is a new and exciting product that will take your cooking experience to a whole new level. Because of the way that it is made, this pan is non-stick but it's also akin to cooking in a more traditional way. This rock hard pan will leave you with a stone-baked flavour that is hard to find, and this is something that you and your family are sure to love.
Positive Aspects
- It looks completely different from regular frying pans and it has a lovely natural finish.
- The non-stick surface makes cooking a wide range of foods so much easier as they will not stick to the surface.
- The pan will seal in the flavour, helping you to get tastier dishes every single time.
- Using a pan that has been created with traditional methods in mind, you can now enjoy a taste that's similar to stone-baked products, without using a stone-baked oven.
- The pan's surface is very tough and ensures this unique product will last for years
Negative Aspects
You may find that your other pans become rather redundant as the Slip Stone Pan could easily become your favorite.
How it differs from Other Products
Slip Stone Pan is different from other products because it's non-stick which means you won't have to clean any mess off it. If you're on the market for a nice looking pan, then this is the one you need. It stands out from many other frying pans, and will be a good addition to your home. If you love to leave your cooking equipment out and on display, then this pan will be a good talking point.
How long does it last?
Because this product is pretty tough it is expected to last many years. There are a lot of products on the market right now that are likely to last only a few years. This is because they're not made to last, they are made to look nice and not be used all the time. If you love nothing more than to cook as often as you can, then you need a Slip Stone Pan as it's tough enough to be used over and over again.
Simple to use
- Simply use this pan just as you would any other frying pan.
- Enjoy the non-stick feature that will ensure even melted cheese comes off quickly and easily every time.
What we found
When we tested the Slip Stone Pan we found that it performed exactly as we expected. One of the main issues we were concerned about was its toughness. After cooking many meals on the pan, we realized that it's going to live up to its reputation of being extra-tough. What's more is that no matter what we cooked on the pan, it did not stick. This meant dishes looked just as they should, and nothing needed to be scraped off the bottom of the pan. We therefore came to the conclusion that this product will be beneficial in any home.

Great Purchase- This is an Honest, Real Review
I'm posting this review to express my complete satisfaction with the Slipstone Pan.
I've had mine for two years now and can honestly say this is the best pay out there.
I have tried the green ones, the copper ones and ceramic. All have failed.
If you are looking for a new, non stick, durable pan, I recommend Slipstone!

My Slipstone Pans
My Slipstone pans ( 10 and 12" ) are great. Bought the 10" at Walmart. Liked it. Within a few months they had the 12" in stock and on their dot. Com site. Ordered it.
I DO NOT use metal utensils on / with these pans and the coatings on both still look and cook like new after 18-24 months use.
I DO NOT use these pans as tennis rackets nor to split firewood.
UPDATE. I was just going to order a second 10" via WMart.com. They no longer have the pans on their site. Bummer.
AMAZON Prime to the rescue. $13.20. BAMB!
Tune in next week for a very funny story on the joke orgreenic pans -which lead us to these Slipstones!
A friend purchase two of those green non stick pans and gifted me one. Suk'd. Hers did too. And we DID oil prep / condition them prior to use. Yep, eggz were the first food sacrificed. Felt.

Coating is Crap
Bought the pan last December. Use it periodically for eggs, grilled sandwiches and similar simple items. The non-stick feature does work. But, the coating / plating ( whatever it is ) is breaking down. Small chips are appearing across the flat part of the frying area. My major concern is, "Where are the chips going? " Most likely in the food being cooked. I have sent my concerns to the manufacturer with no response! Surprise, surprise!

Bought a complete set of the greenware. Used a few weeks before the food began to stick and permanently discolored. Bought the slip stone at Christmas. It is now June 21 and the pan looks and works the same as when We bought it. We cook a lot. Fried chicken, eggs, hash browns, grilled cheese sandwiches, even fajitas! Absolutely nothing has stuck, and every clean up has been easy! If it hasn't worked for you, try following instructions; low / medium heat, no cooking spray, no or little oil, it will work the same as all the other great reviews! Handle came loose, so I tightened up the Phillips screw. Cost of repair? About 22 seconds.

I too have had no complaints. When Greenware came out I thought it was the greatest thing. Until a month later when my eggs started sticking because there was a scratch on the bottom from using a fork on it. Hubby complained. Said ain't it sposed to not burn or stick? Told him burning cuz is hardest non stick coating is scratched. I have 2. A 12" frypan and the pancake flipper. Both shoved to back of cupbord. I have slip stones. ( 2 ) 10" frypans and one 12" frypan. 12" never gets put away. I use it every single day. Even for french fries. I use forks, knives, even whisks in them. But dummy me was sick with Phenmonia last week and got mad cuz I was too sick to cook. Grabbed pan and slammed it to floor. Side dented slightly ( can hardly tell ) but I broke the stupid handle off. It did come loose all the time but I didn't care I love the skillet. Guess what? I am now using it with the long handle ( in search of a replacement ). I will not give it up for anything. Never made a flippy egg so easy in any fry pan I ever owned. I'm almost 60 and have 52 years of cooking under my belt. Best pan I ever used.

Best Pan Ever
Christmas gift and it is the only skillet I will use ever. The green one ( which I used once that was tragic ) and the pretty non stick other one for Valentines were sold in my garage sale last week. I still use my iron skillet for chicken but this slip stone is so very easy to use and to wash. Nothing sticks and I can't express to anyone how much time it saves me, cooking and cleaning. I have used every kind of pan and skillet for the last 50 years and this one is number One on my shelf and list.

Swear by it!
I cook eggs in my 10" pan and have never used oil and they have never stuck to the pan! I was so impressed I bought a second one and it's still in the package because this one is lasting so long. It's a great product and I've tried them all!

If you love the 10" one you should try the 12". It has the short support handle on other end. I broke mine and am still using it. I broke it on purpose. Got mad last week and that was on the stove because it does not get put away it is used so much. After washing I turn it upside on stovetop cuz I know I will use it tomorrow, or later same day.

I Love Mine
I tested mine with fried eggs and they did not stick and actually slid right out of the pan after cooking. You just have to follow the directions of care. Like not cooking on high heat, and not scratching the surface. It's a great product.

I'm anxiously waiting for mine to come!

I use high heat all the time with mine. I even make french fries and fry chicken or fish patties in it. I have ( 2 ) 10" and one 12" with no handle. I broke it throwing it and am still using it cuz I won't part with it.

Just The Opposite
Found the pan to be very non-stick. I must admit though, I do like a bit of butter with my eggs. I used maybe a half teaspoon a most. Time will tell of it remains as good. The Green pan hasn't.

Anyone that is having trouble with them, Maybe a bad batch slipped through inspection. I would of returned it to store. I have 3, one broken with no handle but is still being used. Only pans I use now. I'm sorry some people had bad luck with them. But like anything else a defect slips through now and again.

Don't buy the slip stone they will rip you off!

How will they rip you off?

Not a rip off. I paid $30 plus shipping for my 12". I broke it getting mad. But i'm still using it cuz broke or not it is the best skillet I own.

Maybe some anger management should be an option with the purchase of these pans as it seems that about half a dozen reviews state that the pans were broken when the owners were mad and the pan was within reach.

I broke my 12" handle cuz it was closest thing when I got mad last week. Was closest to me cuz it don't get put away I use it that much. Handle was loose from day one but I still love it. And my ( 2 ) 10" I bought. But I would like to replace the handle on my 12". Where can I get one please? Thank you.

The handle on our pan stopped locking in the open position. Also, the coating disappeared. But the website does not work. Any idea on how to contact the company - or did we buy a large paperweight?

Yes, the 911 moves its engine to the middle for LM-GTE racing.
If there's one defining factor about the Porsche 911, it's always been the car's rear-engine layout. That's changing now, though, with the new 911 RSR. As spy photos had indicated, big changes are in store for the racer. The car has a mid-engine layout and will campaign in 19 races in the LM-GTE category in 2017, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
By putting the 4.0-liter flat-six engine ahead of the rear axle, Porsche says that engineers were able to install a larger rear aerodynamic diffuser. The new arrangement could conceivably also provide more balanced handling than hanging the engine out over the rear of the car. But because this is such a big change, pretty much every part of the RSR was developed from scratch, including the suspension, powertrain, and body. The car weighs 2,740 pounds (1,243 kilograms).
That engine is a naturally aspirated unit that, depending on what restrictor is required by series rules, will produce around 510 horsepower (375 kilowatts). It's connected to a six-speed sequential transmission with a locking rear differential channeling power to the ground.
Click here to see full gallery
Along with the larger rear diffuser, the 911 RSR has a new roof-mounted spoiler inspired by that of the 919 Hybrid racer, which Porsche says has dramatically increased downforce. The carbon-fiber bodywork has quick-release fasteners so it can easily be removed for quicker servicing.
Every other component of the Porsche 911 RSR is, of course, optimized for racing. The massive brakes have six-piston calipers, while the center-lock wheels have rear tires measuring a whopping 12.2 inches in width. A full roll cage replaces a regular Porsche interior, along with a bucket seat, race harnesses, a race steering wheel covered in switches and controls, and various other racing safety features. The seat is solidly mounted to the floor, so the pedal assembly moves to accommodate each driver.
Perhaps the coolest innovation is the Collision Avoid System, which uses radar to warn racing drivers of fast-approaching vehicles. Because there are big differences in the speed of endurance racers, and because it can be tough to see in the dark, the system is intended to warn racers before they change their driving line. Several other Le Mans teams have similar systems, including Corvette Racing.
The Porsche 911 RSR will make its racing debut on January 28, 2017, at Daytona. With a total of 19 races planned, Porsche says the car will have a total of 140 hours of competition next year.

I'm pretty sure virtually every chick at my Uni wears them to classes, because it's hot as heckle in Texas -_-
I've not worn them much, as some of my classes are freezing as heckle, but I wore them today because I had to meet a professor in her office for essay sign up dates. But when I went outside to go to the dorm next door to get a bottle of water, I passed this girl & guy(who were talking & are still talking) and the girl gave me a dirty look...
I'm pretty sure the guy gave me a look but I only noticed hers
Then the RA gave me a look too, but he's a dude. I haven't gained weight and my legs aren't flabby or fat. Are they too short in your opinion?
Or if you have them/see them...too short? Maybe it's the quad I live in...I think they frown upon things seen as "trendy"
Most Helpful Guy
Those are long shorts for a girl where I live and I live in Minnesota lol. In winter girls are covered from head to toe so once late spring and summer hit everything comes off lol. It's not uncommon to see 13, 14, and 15 year old girls wearing booty shorts so short you can see the lower part of their butt cheeks which actually makes me uncomfortable as an adult male. Girls in their twenties usually wear short shorts that go up to their cheek or higher in summer. Those shorts you have are conservative where I'm from! If I ever have a daughter she will be wearing shorts like that on super hot days so she is covered lol.22|00|0

As e-commerce continues to thrive, one of the last remaining challenges in the industry is replicating the fitting room.
When shopping for clothing, consumers tend to either go to a brick-and-mortar store to try the clothes on first, or with the growing ubiquity of free shipping, they order a bunch of sizes or styles online and return the ones that don't fit.
Neither of these options is a perfect fit for online apparel retailers, but a new solution may be approaching in the not-too-distant future. Technology companies are perfecting 3D body scanners that can create a digital avatar of a consumer and help him or her find the perfect fit without entering a fitting room.
These scanners have been around for a while, but they're finally nearing an advanced enough level where they could actually be implemented on a wider scale.
Back in 2007, Macy's (M) gave the technology a shot with a pop-up scanning booth in partnership with Lori Coulter's swimsuit line. Using [TC]² scanning technology, a consumer could get scanned in-store and then order a personalized bathing suit from Lori Coulter.
Their 3D scan was then saved so that they could order more bathing suits whenever they wanted without having to revisit a physical Macy's store. Macy's offered this experience in about 15 stores, but ended the trial in 2012.
"The economics had changed as far as how the capital buildout and requirements in-store did not justify [having the experience] at that time coming out of the recession," Lori Coulter told TheStreet. "At the time, the scanners were more expensive as well."
Now that the scanning technology costs about the quarter of the price and is more accurate, and a larger portion of consumers are likely interested in spending more for a better fit, it's possible that the timing could be right for body scanners in the retail industry.
Artec's 3D body scanner creates a 3D avatar and turns it into a figurine
There are already a few niche cases, like menswear store Alton Lane, which uses 3D body scanners to design custom-made suits for their customers.
Walmart (WMT) is also testing a 3D scanner from a technology company called Artec, but for now it's just an entertaining experience that creates a 3D avatar and allows customers to print a miniature figurine version of themselves. Right now they have the 3D experience in 15 stores in the UK.
But Artec founder Artyom Yukhin told TheStreet that the company is in talks with Walmart and other large retailers and brands to figure out how to apply the scanning technology in apparel. He sees two different models for how 3D scanning will fit into the fashion world: for tailor-made clothing, or to match off-the-shelf garments that will be the best fit for a customer.
Either way, the implications for e-commerce are huge. Consider that about 49% of retailers offer free return shipping, according to the National Retail Federation. That costs retailers a ton of money, especially in apparel.
According to a report from IHL, preventable returns cost the global retail economy $642.6 billion every year. If retailers could ensure proper fit with the help of 3D scans and digital avatars, that could significantly lower return rates and save retailers a huge amount of money.
It could also help new brands attract customers who aren't yet used to the brand's sizing. Customers often are loyal to brands for which they know exactly what sizes to order. But if they could upload a 3D scan to make sure they got the right size, they could be more easily persuaded to check out a new brand.

The Rhythmic Realm
First off we'll start off with the basics. Rhythm guitar is the force that drives the ensemble. It needs to be perfectly in time or it just won't sound good. For best results from these exercises I would highly recommend uses of a metronome to keep a constant tempo. Always pay very close attention to accents. Accents are a slightly stronger attack, usually located on the beat. (Accents are signified by a <)
First, we'll startwith a simple down picking exercise. Start off slowly be accurate and smooth, then slowly build up the tempo. Make sure to pay close attention to all accents, because later you'll need them!
Now, we'll start will move to a basic picking exercise. Alternate picking on one string.
Remember that it's very important to be smooth on all of these exercises!
Palm muting. Palm muting is an effect done on the guitar by dampening the strings just before the bridge. This is what creates that heavy tone.
Do Ex.1 with palm muting
Do Ex. 2 with palm muting
Now what would we have if we didn't have the power chord? Sure wouldn't rock. This is the most simplistic chord. It's made from two separate notes. A root (I) and a perfect 5th above (V).
It looks like this.
This is an A5 chord. It can be moved all over the neck and on different strings. Here are some random examples of the basic "power chords"
Now picking chords is definitely a little more difficult then single notes, because you're playing two separate strings instead of just one. Lets play a D5 chord all down strokes. Remember to start off slow and build up speed.
Now play Ex.4 with palm mutes
Lets work with some power chords for a bit.
Ex.5 e minor scale using 5th
Ex. 6 Motorbreath from Metallica. James Hetfeild of Metallica is one of the best rhythm guitar players ever. (well used to be.) He always boasted about playing with exclusive down picks…. I think not! He does down pick quite a lot though.
Now lets move on to some fun stuff shall we. I hope that we can all hold on because we've left the bunny hill and it's going to hurt. Your forearm on your picking hand better be all nice and warmed up or else there is no way you'll be able to make it through this next stuff.
We are going to take some time on thrash rhythms. As you've probably noticed and will see even more of, I use a lot of Metallica riffery for this stuff. Hey, it's awesome stuff to warm up with.
Let's begin with some riffs from blackened. Make sure these are played with all down strokes to insure continuity in sound.
Ex. 7 the x's are muted strings, lift your index finger off the string just enough so that it doesn't ring but makes a nice kind of percussive sound.
Here's a fun little riff from "Master of Puppets." Remember all downs!!
I really hope that you are totally warmed up for this next one, because you'll need it. This one is the chorus riff from my band Dark Shift's song "Fit of Rage." It is all alternate picking and it is a nightmare. You can check it out for free at www.darkshift.net
Ah what fun, but I still haven't even broken a sweat yet ;0) . This next riff is in my mind, one of the toughest recorded riffs of all time. I'm not 100% sure of this but I believe that even Metallica has never been able to play it live, it's just a rumor… I would love however, to hear a live version of it. It's a little song called "Dyers Eve."
Supposedly that was played using all downs… no sorry kids, I think not.
Alternate voicing
Now let us move to some different voicings that you can use to add a little spice to your riffs.
So far just about everything has been based on 5ths. 5ths are definitely one of the most powerful chords in metal… but lets expand a slight bit on that. Closely related to the 5th is the 4th. Basically the 4th is merle an inverted 5th, meaning that you take the root and put it above the 5th
D5 followed by a D4 notice that they're both made of a D and an A!
The 4th is not as stable as the 5th but when used in the correct manner it adds a nice touch… but use them sparingly, they tend to get dry if used too much.
See ex. 10 ("Fit of Rage") Notice the movement from a C5 to a F4 and a D5 to an G4.
Another great usage of this can be seen in Forever Night (www.darkshift.net
)the 12/8 riff following Joel's solo. On the recording its two different
guitar parts filling in these chords… but here the are together. It's a very
fun and dark sounding chromatic lick. Make sure it's played all down for
maximum heaviness.
Another great chord that can be used for added texture in a riff is the 3rd.
There are two different 3rds, Major and minor (Major =M, minor =m) These chords help create better vocal lines and are great to under line solos with.
A great example of the thirds can heard in Holy Wars from Megadeth's "Rust in Peace."
This is a good example of the M3rd.
Another nifty example of how the thirds work well as a riff, and also how the can help shape a vocal line, check out "Forever Night" by Dark Shift (www.darkshift.net) this is the verse
Experiment and you'll find some cool combinations. Now lets look at the last type of chord that we'll be working with today, the 9th chord. These are powerful, and when used in the right fashion, ARE THE MOST POWERFUL!!!!! The nine chords, well that I'm talking about I call perfect ninth chords (most people call them sus2, but this is my column and I can do what ever I want, moo haha ha aha a. ;>).) This is because they are created by taking you basic power chord, D5 and adding another perfect fifth above the fifth… so a D9th would be a D5 (D A), with a perfect fifth above the A, E so the chord would be spelled DAE.
Here is a fun example of the underlying riff of the forever night solo, (www.darkshift.net).
Tt uses the perfect ninth chords in a fairly simple yet effective way.
I actually learned this chord from John Petrucci of Dream Theater
Listen to Under a Glass Moon on Images and words from D. T. and see what I mean, here it is. It has a very unique sound and draws a lot of attention, especially because not many people are used to hearing that chord. This is the part UGM the keyboard solo.
Here's the big unison riff using the same chords but with a different rhythm, this is the part after the key solo.
Rhythm Playing
How fun was that? Did the chordal theory get you tripped up? Well get up and get some water or take a quick breather because this is where you newbies need not apply, cause welcome to hell, because I sure hope you guys like timing. Cause this is where its at, as far as I'm concerned. This is step one on what separates the men from the boys.
The usages of hemeolas and odd time signatures.
Hemeolas are fun let me tell you. I don't want to get too far into the theory behind them, but basically they are defined as playing a rhythm in one time signature but it is played so that it feels in a different time, its all relative to the accents ( remember how I said pay close attention to the accents?). For instance, listen to the main riff of "Lost Forever."www.darkshift.net and you can get a small taste of one.
Also in the middle of "Fit of Rage" www.darkshift.net there is a hemeola that's is in 5/4 where it is grouped 123, 123, 12, 12 (all 8th notes)
Now lets play with some odd times, first we'll start with some basic NON 4/4 riffs. You see, I don't know about you guys, but 4/4 bores me, its been done to death and there's just not that much more you can creatively put into a bar of 4/4.
Here a great 6/4 riff from Under a Glass Moon.
Next set of riffs is from "Forever Night" again, www.darkshift.net its in 5/4 for the first 3 bars the convienitely moves to 9/8 for one bar, back to 5/4 for 3 more bars, and then decides to look you directly in the eye laugh, go to 4/4 then repeats itself… this is after the third second chorus and before the solo.
Did you notice the hemeola in the 5/4 bars? Did you also notice the M3rds and 4th chords? Pretty cool how it all can start to come together huh?
This is the precursing riff, which is in 12/8 but has a crazy feel to it, that's because it's a kind of hemeola. It can be broken down to four distinct beats. 123,123,12,1234, this was also shown in ex. 13 but now it has been explained. (Look at the accents!)
Speed Playing
This was originally the end of this column, but I've decided to make this just a bit longer. So now well go off and tackle how to develop speed and how to play like you've got a pair. How about if we start with a simpler exercise and work our way up.
Of course your going to want to start off slowly and build to a searing tempo. Let's begin shall we? This is a very simple example of a straight rhythm. Make sure to play the E5 on each beat.
After you've mastered this riff at, oh lets say 225 or so, try to move the accent around. Try putting the riff into 6/4 time and divide it into four. Be creative… move the beat around, have fun.
Now a slightly simpler variation. It is a galloping rhythm that is raw and rocks.
Build up your speed at this one and then reverse the rhythm.
Now incorporate both of these together.
Try this one on for size.( Taken from "By the Waters" by Dark Shift)
Oh it hurts!!! (Taken from "Forever Night Pt. 2" by Dark Shift)
As you can see, the possibilities of what you can do with just the timing of the songs are unlimited. Add different voicing to the mix and then ravage with some killer rhythms and watch out.
I hope that you have been able to take at least a little something back with you after this column. I have so many more tricks under my sleeve but I don't want to blow my whole load here. If you have any questions or comments please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
please only constructive feedback, lets be mature. Happy shredding and keep your eyes open for more for crazy rhythm styles from me.

Midnapore, June 10: Four persons died and six received severe burn injuries when stray sparks triggered the crackers they were making at a fireworks fair and competition at Gangasagar village, about 75 km from the East Midnapore headquarters of Tamluk, early this morning.
Police have arrested two persons, said to be organisers of the fair. The local tradition is to usher in the monsoon with a grand display of fireworks. A large number of amateur and professional fireworks enthusiasts gather every year to take part in the fair that has been hosted by Gangasagar for some time.
Sources said the fireworks went off around 3.30 am when an expended cracker shell landed near a room where they were stored and sparks from it fell inside. Police said the victims were among the competitors waiting in the room for their turn in the show that began at three in the morning. The room had a large stock of fireworks and gunpowder.
The competition was being held in the playground of a primary school and the fireworks were stored in a nearby house. The wind carried the sparks into the room, causing the explosion, said Egra sub-divisional police officer Anjan Chakraborty. Raids were on to arrest other organisers as the fair was being held without permission, he added.
Police sources said the room is being guarded so that experts could come tomorrow and ascertain the amount of explosives stored there. The bodies could not be identified possibly because the competitors had come from far-flung areas, they added.

For Travel Agents, a Tough Life
By EDWIN McDOWELL
Published: August 22, 1994
Bobbie Sylvester had been a home economics teacher in Salt Lake City until she decided to become a travel agent 20 years ago. "My best day as a home economics teacher wasn't as good as my worst day as a travel agent," she used to boast.
But now, with people and businesses pinching their travel pennies and with a big decline in the percentage of agency revenue from airline commissions -- the agents' traditional bread and butter -- hundreds, perhaps thousands, of the nation's 32,500 travel agencies are struggling to survive.
"It's tougher than ever," said Ms. Sylvester, president of the Rocky Mountain chapter of the American Society of Travel Agents. "What kills you is writing $59 tickets to Boise, because you don't make any money." Earnings Are Less
Travel agents earn a commission of about 10 percent on every airline ticket they sell. But with the growth of discount airlines and fare wars, that 10 percent is not as much as it used to be. In 1992, airline tickets accounted for 61 percent of travel agency revenues. Now it is thought to be closer to 50 percent and is expected to shrink further.
Much to the furor of some travel agents, some of their services are being taken over by machines. A Florida company, for example, has installed video kiosks in more than 800 pharmacies to help travelers.
And another company says that within a year, it will place 1,000 machines in supermarkets where travelers can pick up tickets. The Commission Question
Many travel agents think they have been chosen as sacrificial lambs as airlines and other companies try to cut costs, even though agencies sell more than 80 percent of all airline tickets. Agents say the airlines have dropped hints that they intend to cut commissions by as much as one-fourth. And they point to a recent move by almost 20 companies, including the General Motors Corporation and the Whirlpool Corporation, to seek lower fares from airlines. Under the proposal, the companies would forfeit frequent-flier miles and would buy tickets through a single clearinghouse, instead of through traditional travel agencies.
Four large travel agencies, including the Carlson Travel Network and US Travel, earned less in air fare commissions last year than in 1992, according to estimates by Travel Weekly magazine. Four other giant agencies, including the 1,500 company-owned properties of American Express, barely exceeded 1992's air sales. And Rosenbluth International, another industry giant, recently laid off 200 employees, almost 7 percent of its payroll, blaming falling air fares in recent months.
Agency revenues could suffer even more if the Justice Department rules that "overrides" -- cash bonuses that airlines give to the travel agents that supply them the most passengers -- offer established carriers an unfair advantage over newer or smaller competitors.
Air fare commissions are airlines' third-biggest expense, behind labor and fuel. Delta Air Lines recently stirred industry wrath by seeming to suggest that it would reduce the traditional 10 percent commission, perhaps to 7.5 percent, as part of its effort to slash expenses by almost 20 percent in the next three years.
While Delta subsequently denied any such intention, it did not rule out the possibility of someday making a change. Meanwhile, Dick Knodt, executive vice president of the American Society of Travel Agents, said that every 1 percent reduction in commissions could put 5,000 small travel agencies out of business. 'Never Been as Tough'
At Odyssey Travel in West Chester, Pa., airline commissions have fallen about 35 percent over the last year. "This business has never been as tough as today," said Jutta Goss, the owner. "Everything has suddenly been turned upside down."
Industry woes are reflected in the record 2,820 travel agencies that last year either went out of business or defaulted on payments to the Airlines Reporting Corporation, the industry clearinghouse that provides agents with tickets. The total was double that of five years earlier.
And many agents fear problems will be compounded by the growing use of self-service machines.
Docunet Inc., the San Francisco company that will install airline ticket machines in supermarkets beginning in late October, says its machines will also eventually dispense cash and traveler's checks. And the video kiosks, from the Automated Travel and Health Center, a travel agency in Tampa, Fla., display brochures, photographs and tour prices on color monitors and allow browsers to dial an "800" number for inquiries or to book trips or buy travel insurance.
Travel agencies will still collect a commission from sales made on some automated systems, but will have to pay a fee to the company that owns the machine. In the case of the video kiosks, Automated Travel receives a commission and pays the pharmacies 2 percent on sales and a monthly rental fee.
Individual Thomas Cook Travel agencies will receive commissions from a recently announced computerized speech recognition system that will allow customers to book airline tickets, hotel rooms and rental cars over the telephone 24 hours a day.
But many travel agents, especially the small agencies that dominate the industry, fear that as automated ticketing spreads they will be bypassed. Service Charges on Tickets

The Comet Seekers
Author : Helen Sedgwick
Publisher : Harper (October 11, 2016)
Genre : Science Fiction & Fantasy
A magical, intoxicating debut novel, both intimate and epic, that intertwines the past, present, and future of two lovers bound by the passing of great comets overhead and a coterie of remarkable ancestors.
Róisín and François are immediately drawn to each other when they meet at a remote research base on the frozen ice sheets of Antarctica. At first glance, the pair could not be more different. Older by a few years, Róisín, a daughter of Ireland and a peripatetic astronomer, joins the science team to observe the fracturing of a comet overhead. François, the base's chef, has just left his birthplace in Bayeux, France, for only the second time in his life. Yet devastating tragedy and the longing for a fresh start, which they share, as well as an indelible but unknown bond that stretches back centuries, connect them to each other.
Helen Sedgwick carefully unfolds their surprisingly intertwined paths, moving forward and back through time to reveal how these lovers' destinies have long been tied to each other by the skies—the arrival of comets great and small. In telling Róisín and François's story, Sedgwick illuminates the lives of their ancestors, showing how strangers can be connected and ghosts can be real, and how the way we choose to see the world can be as desolate or as beautiful as the comets themselves.
A mesmerizing, skillfully crafted, and emotionally perceptive novel that explores the choices we make, the connections we miss, and the ties that inextricably join our fates, The Comet Seekers reflects how the shifting cosmos unite us all through life, beyond death, and across the whole of time.
Editorial Reviews
"A haunting and wonderfully ethereal debut novel about first loves, inescapable loss, and the search for one's place in a complicated world . . . Uniquely structured and stylistically fascinating, the multilayered story comes full circle in a denouement that is both heartbreaking and satisfying." (Publishers Weekly (starred review))
"Readers will be enveloped in the magical world that Sedgwick creates and will grapple with the big issues she tackles-love, family, freedom, and loneliness. Those drawn to intimate stories of family drama are sure to respond to this beautiful, character-driven novel, which is reminiscent of the work of Amy Bloom and Elizabeth Strout." (Booklist)
"Sedgwick weaves science and the imagination into a melancholy yet magical tale…Readers would do well to suspend disbelief and open their hearts to the romance, the lush prose, and the mystery of Sedgwick's original and inventive debut." (Library Journal)
"In her ambitious . . . debut novel, journalist, editor, and former research physicist Sedgwick leaps through time, from 1066 to the present, following the trajectories of her characters' lives as various comets surge gloriously through the night skies." (Kirkus)
"Haunting and beautiful, THE COMET SEEKERS follows a constellation of lives from modern Antarctica to medieval England, all of them connected by an extraordinary mystery hidden deep in the past. A captivating story, deftly told, about those who are driven to explore, and those who must stay behind." (Helene Wecker, New York Times bestselling author of THE GOLEM AND THE JINNI)
"Helen Sedgwick has written a first novel of remarkable grace, beauty and insight, in which a careful love of language meets an immense storytelling talent. I was moved and inspired by this book." (Joseph O'Connor, author of STAR OF THE SEA)
"THE COMET SEEKERS is a brave and tender debut from one of the brightest new stars of the literary world. It's one of the most vivid, original and magical books I've read in years." (Kirsty Logan, author of THE GRACEKEEPERS)
"Inspired by the mysteries of the Bayeux Tapestry, a work of art nearly a millennium old, THE COMET SEEKERS weaves an exquisite tale of love and fate, impermanence and infinity, the pull of the sky and the bonds of earth. Helen Sedgwick charts the paths of the cosmos and the human heart with unnerving intelligence and grace. This is a novel about the universe, yes, but also about spaces small and secret-the homes we make for ourselves: how we build them, why we leave, and what it means to stay. A luminous debut." (Leslie Parry, author of CHURCH OF MARVELS)

Other notable cases involve the successful recovery for a client of over $6 million from a major law firm after an associate attorney embezzled funds from the firm's escrow account and fled the country. In that case, Mr. Lederman closely coordinated with the New York District Attorney to extradite the attorney back to the United States, where he was sentenced to 4 to 12 years in prison. In 2008, Mr. Lederman represented a large group of victims of an $80 million mortgage fraud ponzi scheme and acted as special real estate counsel to the creditor's committee in the bankruptcy case involving the liquidation of a portfolio of over 20 properties for the benefit of the defrauded creditors and investors.

The commoditization of the personal computer and its adoption by businesses everywhere as a tool for employee productivity has spawned job opportunities for the technically proficient. Computer users need technical support on occasion to solve problems with hardware or software, or just to figure out how to do something. Technical support specialists help users make the most of the company's computing investment.
While some companies may require a four-year degree, most only require some college classes, preferably in computer science, information technology or a related field. Most community colleges or technical schools have computer science or information technology degree programs. Professional training centers also offer targeted training for skills such as Windows administration.
Required Skills
Technical support personnel must be good trouble-shooters to solve users' problems as quickly as possible. They must also be good at interpersonal communications, giving assurance with a pleasant demeanor to a potentially frustrated computer user. Another important skill is that of self-learning, as technical support specialists must keep up with current technology in order to be most effective on the job.
One of the enjoyable aspects of technical support work is that of researching new products, including hardware and software. Technical people enjoy tinkering with the latest gadget or application, so this can be a most pleasant part of the job. They must, however, keep a business focus, or this research becomes play time, which is not a help to the company.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor, the 2010 median pay for a technical support job, sometimes called a computer support specialist, was $46,260. Entry-level pay is less than that figure, and depends upon your level of education, certifications and any experience you already have. According to Robert Half's 2013 Salary Guide, the low end for Tier 1 help desk technical support positions is $36,000.
