Knowledge of the Linux command line is critical for anyone who uses this open-source operating system. For many tasks, it's more efficient and flexible than a graphical environment. For administrators, it plays a vital role in configuring permissions and working with files. In this course, experienced instructor Scott Simpson discusses the basics of working with the Linux command line using the Bash shell, focusing on practical Linux commands with examples that help you navigate through the file and folder structure, edit text, and set permissions. Scott also discusses some of the common command-line tools, such as grep, awk, and sed, and command-line apps such as the nano and Vim text editors. The course wraps up with a look at how to install and update software with a package manager.

text: Bianca was a horny tranny. She needed her ass fucked and fucked good. She was craving a big ole dick that would fuck her ass wide open. She heard Yago was just the dude to satiate her needs. Yago came over and shoved his big, tranny ass slaying dick into Bianca's hungry mouth. Soon, though, her mouth wasn't enough and Yago plunges his huge tool balls deep into Bianca's horny ass. And he finishes by hoses her mouth down with gobs of his thick, creamy nut. Watch Bianca gargle Yago's nut juice.

The answer to that question can only be "no". Suffering exists throughout nature, and through all of humanities ancestors even before they took a form that resembles modern-days humans.
Do the atrocities of the twentieth century represent humanity's nadir? And hence should they be the focal point of our rememberance? Or should we seek to remember all human-caused human suffering throughout our history?

The Joint Opposition (JO) today said it was mulling a no-confidence motion against the Auditor General for making a statement over State loans during the silent period of the election campaign, in what it called a last minute attempt to mislead the voters.
MP Bandula Gunawardana said no political party was allowed to make a response to the Auditor General's statement because he made it during the silent period of the election campaign. (Lahiru Pothmulla)

You all are misleading us. We were very vigilant to rules and even did not speak with any body in the polling queue fearing it will be a violation of election law. I even did not smile with the police sergent there. But What MACCO said.He even failed to give the results on time and it was a total failure on the part of the Elec Commissioner. They even miscalculate certain results and seems their officials very week in mathematics also.Only Big talks from MACCO (elec. commissioner) .The whole nation was dissapointed

No faith motion for what?? for telling the truth.?? Auditor General was a hero for them when he came out with the report of the Bond Scam of this regime. Now the same person has become a zero because he had exposed the Loan Scams of the previous regime. Just imagine people trusting parasites like this (on both sides). Disgusting.

Eli Villanueva and LA Opera Boost Children's Confidence Through the Arts
For the past fifteen years, Eli Villanueva has worked with LA Opera's Education and Community Engagement team to bring opera to the Los Angeles Community. An accomplished performer, stage director, and composer, Villanueva has performed in and composed several works for the company's various education programs (Opera Camp, Opera Tales, and In-School Opera) and has also directed many community productions, including the popular operas staged annually at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. Through his work, Villanueva strives to impact how children see the world and offer them the same excitement he had when he first "caught the opera bug."
Villanueva caught the opera bug at age 12. At the time, the New York City Opera would tour in Los Angeles, staging a few operas a year. Villanueva performed with the California Boys Choir and through this choir was cast as a member of the children's chorus in Puccini's La Bohème. "I got to actually stand next to operas singers, which I thought was the most amazing thing," recalls Villanueva. He continues, "I truly feel that it's that experience of being next to an opera singer that really changes a child's perspective of the whole art form."
Villanueva's work with the Education & Community Engagement team focuses on changing people's perspective of opera.
LA Opera: A Teacher's Paradise
Last week during Arts in Education Week, LA Opera teaching artists spent the day working with students on Orpheus, an original youth opera commissioned by LA Opera, written by librettist Matthew Leavitt and composer Nathan Wang, based on the Greek legend of Orpheus and Eurydice. This is part of a program called Secondary In-School Opera, a ten-week performance workshop that provides secondary schools with a team of teaching artists and directors to show students what it takes to perform an opera. Students meet with the artists ten times to work on the opera between August and October with a performance in November – an engaging experience to foster interest in the world of opera.
For more than 20 years, LA Opera has been exploring the magic of opera with schools, teachers and students from kindergarten through college, all over Southern California. Secondary In-School Opera is just one of the many education programs that make LA Opera a teacher's paradise. Others include Opera Camp, Opera-U, and LA Opera 90012.
ARIA: The Trendiest Ticket In Town
Last night, we kicked off this year's ARIA season. Guests wined, dined, and took a break from the heat poolside underneath lit up palm trees at Mr. C Hotel in Beverly Hills. Everyone looked dashing, chatting about the upcoming season and looking forward to the many operatic adventures to come.
Haven't heard of ARIA? It's LA Opera's gem of a club for young professionals, ages 21-35. During an ARIA Night at the Opera, members see a show at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, and then head to an exclusive after-party with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres to cap off a great evening in style. Often times, members get to meet the artists they've just watched on stage as they make their way to the post-opera festivities.

11 Okt Workshop at the EUROPEAN PUBLIC HEALTH CONFERENCE – 10th of November
Posted at 17:14h in Allgemein
Chronic non communicable diseases as well as infectious diseases still remain a huge public health challenge. Although new life style or medical approaches showed great effects on various health outcomes, there is insufficient access to sustainable prevention programs or contemporary therapies of many diseases for vulnerable groups.
Within this symposium EPF aims to highlight and discuss possibilities to reduce health inequalities for vulnerable groups. Commonalities and differences in public health approaches to prevent or treat widespread diseases will be presented.

It's the last week before 16 more weeks of tests, quizzes, and HOURS of study each day. I am relishing in the fact that I can lay in bed a few extra minutes, binge watch Grey's Anatomy, and not spend a minute thinking about anything academic. In a sense, it's like hibernating, but my version, unlike the bears' winter behavior, includes lots of good food.
So this morning, I made a little brunch and this is how I did it!
Baked Eggs & Spinach:
You'll need-
- 3-4 good handfuls of spinach
- (it looks like a lot, but it cooks down immensely!)
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- about 1/4 c. parmesan cheese
- 1-2 eggs (preference)
To make-
Add about a teaspoon of coconut oil to a large pan and warm on medium heat. Add the spinach and spices. To determine that the spinach is cooked, you'll know right away as the leaves shrivel and lose their size. When it's done, remove from the heat and place in a casserole dish.
Preheat the oven to 400º.
Crack an egg (or two) over the spinach and add the cheese to the remaining visible spinach.
Bake for about 15 minutes or until the egg(s) is thoroughly cooked.
Banana Pancakes:
*yes, the entire time I was making these, I was listening to the Jack Johnson song.*
You'll need-
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 c. oats
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 3 tbsp almond milk
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
- splash of vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda (VERY important)
- generous pinch of cinnamon
- pinch of salt
To make-
Place everything but the almond milk in the food processor. Combine. Then, add the almond milk after everything is combined.
Ladle the pancake batter into a pan or griddle on medium-low heat. They usually take about 2-3 minutes per side. Flip, cook the other side, and enjoy!
I topped mine with fresh berries, but you could also top with greek yogurt, pure maple syrup, BANANAS, cinnamon, or mini chocolate chips. 🙂
Herbed Potatoes
You'll need-
- 2-3 baby potatoes (already cooked) sliced into rounds
- about 1 tablespoon of either rosemary or basil
- salt & pepper to taste
To make-
On the stovetop, heat about a tablespoon of olive or coconut oil along with the herb of choice. Once it heats up, add the potatoes, and salt & pepper. Cook until the potatoes start to brown. That's it, that's all!
If you too are starting school again Monday, I wish you the best semester possible! Remember to get enough sleep, fuel your body well, drink lots of water, exercise, and take a little time for yourself each day! Set yourself up to succeed.
Happy eating!

Listen to this article
Randgold's shares opened up 4.5 per cent as the Africa-focused gold miner hiked its dividend by 56 per cent after the company generated more cash than expected last year, following a record year of production.
The miner said profit increased by 38 per cent in 2016 to $294.2m as production rose by 3 per cent. It raised the dividend to $1 a share following a boost in net cash to $500m, ahead of analysts' expectations.
Randgold benefited from an 8 per cent increase in the gold price it received over the period to $1,244 a troy ounce and a reduction in its cost of production by 6 per cent to $639 per ounce. It said it is targeting production of between 1.25m to 1.3m ounces for 2017 and cash costs of $580 to $630 a troy ounce.
Gold prices have recovered this year, rising 5 per cent to trade at $1,223 a troy ounce as demand increases for a safe haven investment.
But the precious metal also faces headwinds from possible US rate hikes. Higher interest rates are generally bad for gold since it provides no yield.
The gold market also faces declining production after years of cost-cutting by miners. Randgold has said it aims to develop three new mines over the next five years. It is committed to spending on exploration and aims to spend between $50 to $60m in 2017, the company said.
"We have shared with the market our 10-year plan, which shows how we plan to sustain our profitability over the next decade at a gold price of $1,000 per ounce," Mark Bristow, chief executive, said.
"It also envisages – but does not depend on – the development of three new mines over the next five years."

The Konrad Adenauer Foundation and Polilat.com have developed an index measuring the development of democracy in Latin America. The index, Democratic Development Index (DDI), measures that process in light of four dimensions: Basic conditions of democracy, respect for political rights and civil liberties, institutional quality and politic efficiency, exercise of the effective power to be able to govern (this last dimension is divided into two sub dimensions: capacity to generate well being policies and capacity to generate economic efficiency policies). The authors have published the results in the form of reports, which have been published since 2002.
The 2009 report finds Bolivia in last place, out of 18 Latin America countries. The explanation points to the relative better performance of other countries and the, again, relative worst performance in the institutional quality and political efficiency as well as in the capacity to generate social well being.
This report is a blow to the Bolivian government which has been wanting to portray that Bolivia is doing generally better than before (pre Morales), in democratic terms as well.
In comparison to other countries, the fact that Bolivia is doing worst than countries such as Venezuela, Honduras, and Guatemala, gives me something to think about. Taken with a bit of criticism, it might be in the way these authors measure the distinct dimensions. For one, it cannot be, the more I ponder, that Honduras scores better than Bolivia in the institutional quality and political efficiency dimension.
Just to put some more perspective, the Economist Intelligence Unit's Index of Democracy, finds Bolivia, worldwide, in 75th place as a flawed democracy for 2008. That is ahead of Nicaragua (78), Guatemala (79), Ecuador (88) and Venezuela (95). Honduras was placed 74 at the time. While Freedom House places Bolivia in the company of Paraguay, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Honduras and Guatemala, as partly free countries. Another index, the Bartelsmann Transformation Index, ranks Bolivia below Nicaragua and Honduras, but above Guatemala, Ecuador and Venezuela.
So, what is the conclusion from all this? The conclusion is that it is very difficult to measure democracy. Who knows where Bolivia is on the average. The questions remain: is it a more democratic country? is democracy taking hold?
For what its worth, it is nice to see another index join the ranks, so to speak!

opens hues only known
in passing—
the mind precedes
and follows by long
reach in, the image
swirls in displacement—
as known principle
that forms the earth,
her fragment moons
so ejected
leave aperture open and you'll see
what they mean this is only
one phase of the question
sound- and scent-
triggers: bullfrog brooding
in the ditch, creaks the branch
against the trunk in the wind
our continuous kin, opens all windows
and screens thus replaced—
winds through gallery of all remnants
now displaced
weaves meaning, a unit
untethered from perception—
often the scale is wrong the words
wrong, but kinesthetic impulse,
auto correct
I'm telling you, I didn't hear
what you heard. Song bird's opteryx
lineage. Aquifers'
abduction. A honey bee
dies inside a flower. All
is meanwhile—
I fear I have no reason
to return, to intercept

True Blood 10th Episode Review: It keeps getting better!
Posted August 25, 2009on:
Now, this is the reason as to why I am hooked on the tube. Drama, romance and everything in between. It is a sandwich of all odds!
First of all, the first couple of minutes sure made plenty of Eric/Sookie campers delightful souls. So much so that I am beginning to get used to seeing less of Bill and Sookie moments.
OH, bless Season 2 for having more Eric air-time. 😀
Then there is simple-minded and determined Jason. He is such a helping hand in this episode; rescuing Andy and Sam, assuring Sookie… I like how Alan Ball de-lust-ified this season. No more sketchy ladies and sex appeal thrown across the television screens.
Praise that!
As for Maryann, she is indeed getting under everyone's skins. Viewers and cast alike. Her role as a maenad is becoming increasingly disturbing to watch, especially after what she did to Sookie's house. Unforgivable!
Not to mention the creepy tree she constructed by the front door. It reeks of raw meat, vegetables and heaven-knows-what.
I am so glad I need not deconstruct it.
Bill. Stranger and stranger by the minute. He is half-pissed by how Eric made Sookie drink from him (I will spare you the details), hence becoming more a part of her than ever. That I know. Though the way he approached the Queen of Louisanna's nest (whatever it was)… Puzzled me. Now I am kept wondering if Alan is going all the way in adapting from the Stackhouse novels.
If he is, my am I going to rant about predictability and happy as ever that I switched romantic camps prematurely.
Sookie, Sookie, Sookie… I have no idea which is more unfaithful: Her keeping her fantasies with Eric from Bill, or her keeping her fantasies with Eric from Bill. It sets me pondering: When will she truly approach Eric about those fantasies? It would really be quite a scene to watch out for.
Or maybe I could be behind in the knowledge of True Blood Vampires. They can feel what their humans feel, right?
I guess we will receive an Eric/Sookie treat real soon…
Recently, Lettie Mae has been surprising me. Her sudden devotion to Tara is wary yet fulfilling. It is like watching a soap opera whenever their scenes come on. You seriously have no clue what her mother will do next, or how Tara is going to deal with her mother. For now, I am glad that both mother and daughter have been reunited. 🙂
Lafayette! Glimpses of his life with Eric in it makes me want to stifle a giggle. Remember the fourth episode? "I like you."
Like I said, it keeps getting better!
Now we all have to wait with bated breaths to see how Sam survives with the immortal of Maryann alive and about Bon Temps and how the Queen of Louisanna will grace the screens to save the day.
Or night.
Till then, next Monday afternoon awaits! (True Blood airs at 9pm ET/PT on Sundays, so it will be 10am the following day for us. You do the rest of the math.)

This afternoon I am sitting in our beautiful new home and reflecting on how our real estate agent, Dorita Mayeux, got us here!

While we have bought and sold several houses, we have never before encountered such a level of professional excellence.

TJ (my 13 year old) came with; he was more interested in investigating everything on her property and asking a ton of questions! Bonnie was great with him, and I laughed when at one point she left TJ speechless. A rarity indeed!
TJ when he wasn't chasing a cat, hitting at things with a stick or cutting rhubarb!
I didn't know that with our strawberries we would also be bringing home a ton of freshly cut rhubarb!
The berries awaiting their bath and prep.
Call me crazy, but I think I may be spending tomorrow in the kitchen with these babies!
Some of these berries will be used to make an appearance in this salad courtesy of Mark Bittman. Note to self: pick up more arugula tomorrow! I was going to make kale salad to go with tomorrow night's dinner, but think I want to make this instead!
Some will be hulled and frozen; I will use those to make our morning smoothies. I am so hooked on smoothies for breakfast! I use all frozen fruit and these will be great combined with frozen banana, protein powder, almond milk, and spinach. Not all of the frozen ones will be used for smoothies; it will be nice to take some out of the freezer and whip up a quick strawberry shortcake when the berries are no longer local and in season.
Some of these berries and the rhubarb will go into a pie. I learned tonight that Ben loves strawberry rhubarb pie. I will need to spoil him with one tomorrow. Can't wait to try this recipe I found on Tastespotting!
I also want to make an ice cream; I have what I refer to as the Ice Cream Bible, known more commonly as The Perfect Scoop by David Lebovitz. If you love making your own ice cream, get this book! I am torn between a frozen strawberry yogurt or a Strawberry Sour Cream Ice cream. There is even a recipe for strawberry rhubarb sorbet!
As you can tell, I am excited about these berries! Honestly, I am most looking forward to having some fresh with breakfast tomorrow.
Hope you all had a wonderful Saturday and I hope to come back tomorrow to share some of these creations!

With the Four we have gone all out to build the lightest, toughest short-travel trail bike we could conceive.
With shorter travel we get less frame stress, so we lightened the gauge of the 6061 aluminium frame material. Extra machine processes shaved weight from all the CNCed parts while maintaining their crucial strength. A new split-rear compact swingarm gives us a shorter chain stay and by tucking in a 44x184mm shock we moved the single-pivot point rearwards to make the suspension more active everywhere.
Sitting below the bigger hitting trail burners of the Five and Alpine 6, but vastly more capable that the XC lightweights. The Four is Orange to the core: simple, reliable and built to perform at the highest level, out and back.
It climbs like a Welsh mountain goat and descends like a demon leaving smiles as big as we've had on any Orange bike. Boxes ticked, the Four was born.

RUMFORD — David Guilford smashed a two-run homer as the Cougars erupted for seven runs in the fifth inning and Ryan Lafleur pitched a three hitter to lead Dirigo to a convincing 13-3 win over Mountain Valley on Monday at blustery Hosmer Field. The game was shortened to five innings because of the mercy rule.
Lafleur started out shaky, but eventually settled into a groove and improved to 3-0. The right-hander struck out eight, including getting out of a bases-loaded jam when he fanned Matt Duka on a back-door called third strike to end the third inning. Lafleur struck out the side in the fourth inning, as well, but walked three.
"The thing that really turned it around was Arik Fenstermacher's catch," Lafleur said, referencing the Dirigo centerfielder's diving grab off the bat of Brady Fergola. "That gave me the confidence to just settle down and throw strikes because my teammates were behind me. My curve ball was my best pitch and I don't know if it was because of the weather, but I couldn't rely on my fast ball."
In 18 innings this season, Lafleur had 20 strike outs, six walks and hadn't allowed an earned run until the Falcons scored one on Derek Volkernick's RBI single in the first.
The two teams had settled into a competitive matchup until Dirigo sent 12 batters to the plate in the fifth, sending a decisive message. The offensive onslaught stunned the Falcons, who saw their four-game unbeaten streak snapped.
"Dirigo is a good hitting team," Mountain Valley coach Steve LaPointe said. "You just can't afford to make any mistakes against them and our defense let us down a couple times. Dirigo did a good job running the bases."
Class C Dirigofound the key hits it had been lacking in the big inning against Derek Volkenick. Lafleur led off with a clean single and Guilford followed with a hit to the track beyond the left field fence. Eric Bolduc singled and scored on Fenstermacher's RBI-single to give the Cougars a 9-3 lead. Falcon reliever Ryan Nicols walked pinchhitter Brody Thompson and Spencer Ross, and Tyler Chiasson and Lafleur each drove in runs.
"Dave Guilifords home run was huge," Dirigo coach Dave Lafleur said. "It gave us an 8-3 lead and you can never score enough runs against a good hitting team like Mountain Valley. Our hitting has improved, especially the lower part of the batting order."
Dirigo had scored three runs in the first inning, including two on a wild pitch. A pitched ball bounced away from Falcon catcher Gino Salgalo, and Tyler Gates scored.
Mountain Valley came back to tie the score in the bottom of the first on runs by Connor Blais, Ryan Laubauskas and Salgalo.
The Cougars took the lead for good with three in the third. The key blow was an RBI bloop single by Bolduc.
"This team isn't taking any thing for granted any more," Lafleur said. "We had started out pretty cocky and thinking we would win every thing. A loss to Telstar woke us up, so we are taking it one game at a time."

The reason for this season is leaving, at least for married couples ready to call it quits. Divorce tends to follow seasonal patterns, finds a team of sociologists from the University of Washington in a paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association.
March and August consistently ranked as the months that saw the highest number of divorces based on data from Washington state between 2001 and 2015. Although there was some volatility in filings during times of economic stress, over the period, filings peaked after the winter and summer holidays.
But what about the stereotype of families feuding during Thanksgiving and Christmas?
RELATED: Marriage's Bumpy History: Photos
Based on the data, the researchers suggest that instead ending a marital relationship during the holidays is almost taboo. If anything, couples try to get past their differences for the sake of the holiday season.
"People tend to face the holidays with rising expectations, despite what disappointments they might have had in years past," said co-presenter Julie Brines in a statement.
That holiday glow doesn't last, if it even existed at all, and in beginning in the new year, couples take the steps necessary to initiate a divorce. That pattern repeats year after year, leading to a spike in broken marriages in March.
Holidays are also a time when Americans are highly stressed about financial concerns, according to survey data (PDF), and money is among the most common reasons for divorce.
August is at the tail end of the summer vacation season, but before school starts, which the researchers believe offers a window to separate and leads to an uptick in filings.
RELATED: Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster Wedding
The findings out of the University of Washington are backed by reports posted on legal sites. The legal services site Avvo.com in 2014 reported a 40% surge in searchers for divorce lawyer in the weeks leading up to Valentine's Day. Around two-thirds of that user group are women.
Similarly, the legal information site FindLaw.com in 2012 conducted an analysis of divorce filings and searches and found that March had the highest number of divorce filings and searches. Between December and January, however, the website found a 50% spike in searches for divorce and related terms like "family law" or "child custody."
According to government data, both the total number of divorces and annulments across the United States have gone down as have divorce rates. In 2014, the last year for which data are available, couples filed for 813,862 divorces or annulments across 45 states and the District of Columbia, with the divorce rate standing at 3.2 per 1,000 total population.

This Valentines Day, I walked to the convenience store around 8:00 p.m. in my pajama pants, ten dollars in hand. My mission: two pints of Ben & Jerry's and a box of maxi pads. The store clerk, in an effort to hide his second-hand embarrassment, quickly stuffed my purchases in a bag with a sympathetic smile and said, "You have a nice night, and um, a happy Valentine's Day…"
I wanted to shout, "It's not for me!" but he wouldn't believe me so I didn't bother.
Because the pads weren't for me. They were for my puppy. My poor little 7.5 month old lab Lily was having her first (and after I tell you what it entails, only) bout of heat. Growing up with a family dog, we're often spared inconveniences like the costs and trips to the vet, or lugging huge bags of dog food home. Guess what we're also spared? Dealing with the dog's freaking period. Turns out, internet research, or reading a few dog books—does not do the reality of some experiences justice.
The second thing people say when they meet Lily (after admiring her charm and superior cuteness) is, "You're fixing her right?" Between 6 months until first heat is advised for health reasons (see list at bottom of article), but our puppy trainer told us that she still had a little maturing to do. She is small for her age, so we should wait for her first heat. We settled on: when we get back from our trip we'll spay her and hopefully "beat the heat," so to speak.
Well, schedules non-permitting, a week before our trip we started noticing drops of blood everywhere and Lily's mood had taken a dip. As a female, ahem, this isn't exactly foreign to me, but my poor boyfriend turned pale as a ghost and was supremely uncomfortable.
"What are maxi pads, what do they look like?" he practically wailed. (Hence, why I was sent to buy the maxi pads.) We had to board her for for a week during our trip, so the dog boarders instructed us to pack maxi pads and added, "Make sure she brings her party pants!" Party pants=dog diapers and yes, they do exist in a wide range of colors and sizes. Only a dog-shaming photo will do them justice.
Lily's are pink and akin, according to my mom, to "bikini bottoms." That made me feel even worse for her, like I was a crazy Toddlers & Tiaras mother forcing my daughter to wear bronzer and string bikinis.
After this experience, here's what to consider when assessing a time frame for neutering a female dog:
- Spayed dogs are less likely to develop breast cancer and will not be at risk for ovarian or uterine tumors.
- Spaying dogs combats the problem with pet overpopulation, which finds millions of dogs each year in shelters.
- The experience with heat can be very unpleasant (as told above), but can also create strong unpleasant odors and unwanted male dog attention. Your vixen of a pup will be "bringing boys to the yard" if you will.
- Heat can last as long as three weeks (imagine?!) about once every eight months.
- Some sources say 5-7 months is ideal, because liver and kidneys of too-young animals are much less mature than those of older animals and therefore less capable of tolerating the effects of anaesthetic drugs.
We get Lily back tomorrow. We were assured that she was not teased by the other dogs. They better not be, I don't want to get all Toddlers & Tiaras on them.

Interviewer: "So, tell me about yourself!"
You: "Ummm…well…"
Has this happened to you? Have you been asked the hardest question known to man? For some reason, answering this simple question sometimes proves to be the most difficult. How exactly can you sum up everything about yourself in one teeny tiny answer?
Before you head to campuses to scope out potential colleges and go on interviews (don't forget to brush up on our blog post: 4 Great Questions for your College Tour Guide) be sure to come up with what we like to call your 30 Second Story. Whether you are a musician, actress or visual artist – you are ultimately your own business. You are the CEO of your own brand – so you better be able to describe it!
A 30 Second Story is a chance to reveal a bit about yourself and your passions in a concise and compelling manner. Here are some keys points you should be sure to hit:
Choosing the perfect college is a hard enough task as is. Add the undertaking of picking the ideal performing arts program housed within your dream college and it can be enough to make your head spin! Summer is the time for students entering their senior year to solidify their college list and start to get organized on each school's academic and artistic requirements. So, here are some of our top tips on how to narrow down a performing arts college list that will make you happy as both a human being and an artist! Read more
September is known as the unofficial start of college application season. Suddenly everything becomes real: college visits, applications, gathering references, transcripts, and digital portfolios, all with the anticipation that over the next several months, you will be deciding on a college.
The fall of your senior year in high school can be a busy time, especially if you're planning to go to college, especially especially if you're planning to study the arts. Music, theatre, dance, and visual arts programs often have a more rigorous application process and can be much more competitive than general admissions to the university. But when you want to study the arts, choosing the right program can be a huge part of getting your career off on the right foot, so you want to get everything right.
If you're pursuing the arts at a collegiate level, you know that college application season is going to be a busy time for you. Between visits, interviews, applications, portfolios, auditions, and (gasp!) final decisions, the life of a soon-to-be arts major can be crazy. It's easy to think of the summer before your senior year as a time to relax before the craziness. And while you can definitely still enjoy some pool time, there are a few easy things you can do during the summer that will give you a huge head start in the fall.
Summer is a great time to get a head start on college visits. Campuses are pretty quiet during the summer months, so you can get a feel for what it's like without all the hustle and bustle and have some coveted one-on-one time with a tour guide or admissions counselor. You should still plan to visit colleges in the fall, which is a great time to sit in on some classes and maybe attend a student panel. But using your summer months wisely can help you make the most out of your fall visits and application season as a whole.
If you're a high school senior approaching graduation, you're probably used to fielding a lot of questions. Where are you going in the fall? and What are you studying? probably pop up most often. It's about that time of year when you'll start being able to answer at least that first one with confidence and (hopefully) excitement. Usually, everyone will be happy to hear your college choice, smiling and nodding politely. When you tell them you're studying the arts, however, you could face some blank stares or, even worse, negative opinions you didn't ask to hear.
For most performing and visual arts colleges, the big decision day is May 1st. That means by then you should have a solid idea of where you'll be going in the fall, and that can be a lot of pressure. Making your final college decision is a big deal (you definitely know that already), which is why you've taken your application process seriously. Now everyone, from your parents to your teachers to your next-door neighbors, has an opinion about your ultimate college decision. How do you sort it all out to determine what's best for you?
For the last year or so, you've been navigating your way through the winding road that is the college admissions process for the arts. It started with college visits, meeting with faculty and current students, and ultimately narrowing down your choices to dream schools, best fit schools, and safety schools. Then came application after application, digital portfolios, prescreen recordings, auditions, interviews, and finally the moment of truth when you find out if all that hard work paid off. But what if you don't find out? What if you're not accepted and not rejected? What if you're wait-listed?
The arts are awesome because there are so many opportunities out there. And you, the artist, are awesome because you're always hungry to find more of them. From colleges and high schools to grants, scholarships, competitions, and festivals, there are a ton of options for you to continue to do what you love. But it can be a little bit daunting to try to find the exact opportunities that fit your needs. Actually, more than a little daunting. Here's what we mean.

BRAHMS: Piano Sonata No. 3 in f minor, Op. 5; SCHUMANN: Humoreske in B-flat Major, Op. 20 – Margaryta Golovko, p. – Blue Griffin BGR365, 65:16 (7/10/15) [Distr. by Albany] ****:
Schumann's penchant for "laughing and crying" bore fruit in 1839 with the creation in Vienna of his Humoreske in B-flat Major, a sectionalized suite whose material Schumann recycled, in part, in his Manfred incidental music. Somewhat in the spirit of the later Naturalistic writers like Zola, Schumann stated that he wished to address emotions "with ironic detachment." And so, besides a five-note pattern – and the application of ternary form – that serves as a kind of ritornello, the piece exploits a whimsical and mercurial progress for its own sake, often in the spirit of open bravura.
If a pianist brings poetry and muscular definition to Schumann, most likely he or she will qualify for admission into the "Band of David." Ukrainian pianist Golovko – who captured the top prize at the First Midwest International Piano Competition in June 2014 – projects (rec. 4-5 November 2014) natural and spontaneous sound in Schumann, energetic, alert, and well-nuanced in its adjustments to the Florestan/Eusebius vacillations in the composer's musical persona. The contrapuntal Hastig section reveals what Golovko might make of a Bach partita. Schumann transforms this "etude" into a potent maerchen or fairy-tale march that resounds with digital authority. The more tender elements in Schumann communicate in gorgeous keyboard tone on a Steinway Model D, recorded by Sergei Kvitko.
My own preference among the moods in this elusive piece remains that marked Einfach und Zart, a studied dreamscape close to Schumann's E.T.A. Hoffmann responses. The music suddenly urges itself forward, close in mood to the Novellettes of the following opus. The subsequent Innig celebrates Eusebius and the nostalgia for the dream, the essence of Schumann. Some of the passing harmonies must have caught the ear of Claude Debussy. Another mood swing, Sehr lebhaft, and Golovko's rapid wrist and arm motion meets tests of endurance within a texture of layered intensity. After a clarion section, Mit einigem Pomp, Schumann moves to an extended epilogue, Zum Beschluss, another quasi-ballade or novelette whose mood recalls the Arabeske, Op. 18 and Schumann's idiosyncratic Bach motion. Ms. Golovko has balanced the poetical and dramatic demands of Schumann most convincingly.
The more "symphonic" Brahms Third Sonata of 1853 has its own knots in a rambling sort of sonata-form structure in its opening movement, Allegro maestoso, but its poetic elements in C and A-flat clearly take their cue from the composer's first great mentor, Schumann. Golovko emphasizes the movement's grumbling romanticism, rife with rhythmic shifts and stentorian outbursts, consonant with the d minor Piano Concerto and the Beethoven Fifth Symphony, at once. Syncopations and rolled tenth chords do not deter Golovko in her assault on what has become a Romantic crag that Heathcliff and Catherine Linton might ascend with various rewards at the F Major culmination of their journey.
The 2/4 Andante espessivo in A-flat Major, descending in thirds and moving in caressed undulations, seems an excellent fit for Golovko's sensibilities. Her application of the Brahms top line, ben cantando (songful) proves masterful. Her playing of the various sequential passages rivals that of Jorge Bolet, my most treasured concert performance of this work. The subtle metric transitions, 2/4 and 3/8, glide in an elastic veil quite appropriate to the lines from poet Sternau that preface the movement, lines that could easily have influenced Dehmel at the inception of Verklaerte Nacht. The apotheosis in D-flat Major conveys a secure sense of exaltation, ironically close in spirit to Liszt. The highly chromatic Scherzo in f minor always rings with acerbic tension, given its play on a witty arpeggio on a diminished seventh chord. The e-flat minor contrasting section, quite Schumann-esque in its mystery, soon propels forward in bizarre harmony, like C-flat. Golovko's martial power proves resilient and light-handed, requiring little pedal to maintain the detached irony of the movement.
The last two movements are tied by Schumann sensibilities, Reminiscence (Intermezzo) and Finale. The Beethoven "fate" motif has made its presence known throughout the Rueckblick fourth movement, moving step-wise in fairly consistent b-flat minor. The last movement might wish to dance, but the syncopes and heavy treads on D-flat prove cumbersome to any sustained exaltation. What beauty emerges comes in F Major, and Golovko, milks this passing rapture in silken tones. Once the rondo settles into f minor securely, the affect remains: heavy, contrapuntal, seriously Teutonic, much in anticipation of the F Minor Piano Quintet. A chorale in D-flat Major evolves, and Brahms treats this motif to color variation while superimposing the jagged dance motif. Golovko's left hand leads her right in canon, sounding a bit like a children's song. Golovko erupts, piu mosso, appassionato, and grandioso, into a coda of power and persuasion, Romantic music rendered sympathetically by a kindred spirit.

Stage 4 - april 20th 2017
Stage 4: 271,5 KM
Stage 4 will be another varied day. A relatively short stage, with fast passages, feshfesh, the Ouzina dunes, the tracks where the factory teams do their testing and a tough first encounter with the Erg Chebbi.
To start with we move a bit north via a nice chain of fast tracks, with a few less fast parts with tricky navigation. At km 49 we cross the road: be careful here and watch out for traffic.
On the other side of the road we head towards the valley of M'Harech. You cross a wonderful canyon with oasis, palm trees, auberges and tourists. Lower your speed when necessary and find your own preferred route: normally on the right side of the oued, but if you like you can also drive through the oued itself.
After leaving the canyon there is a few miles of damaged terrain, with deep holes and ditches.
Once you had that the scenery changes dramatically at the ascent of the Flowers Mountain: one of the most beautiful parts of this event. Wonderful sandy passages to the top of the mountain followed by a panoramic views and the descent of a vast sandy plain. Back down at km 100, after crossing a dried out salt lake, you will find the CH-RAV, the mandatory stop of 20 minutes to have lunch and fuel.
You resume the race heading south, on a nice piste through a beautiful landscape. Soon the direction changes and you turn to the east. You cross another military zone where they are working hard to build a wall of sand. Parallel to that wall you follow a new track for 6 to 7 kms before entering the village of Remlia at km 125.
The next 50 kms contain a few very nice and a few not so nice parts, mostly fast passages but also some dust biting as there is some 20 kms of feshfesh in the Remlia oued. Overtaking or even getting close behind someone else is impossible because of the dust.
After Remlia it gets bumpy again and the navigator's talents are put to the test. After crossing another dried salt lake you approach Erg Ouzina. At km 175 you will find the foot of the dunes.
Ouzina's dunes aren't very big. It's a nice, small erg and a good preparation for what you will find 100 kms further in the Erg Chebbi.
From the village of Merzouga - more or less - we will enter those dunes. The first 10 kms are quite tough. Navigation skills are required to find your way through the dunes: get around them instead of straight up and pay attention very well as it is difficult to see contrasts with the sun high up in the sky in the afternoon.
The next 10 kms will be easier: for 7 to 8 kms you will follow a track through the dunes. In the final 3 kms - real big dunes again - you can already see the finish at the bivouac. It's a very nice finale of a well varied stage.

Spring 2017 Capsule Wardrobe
Eid Mubarak, friends!
Spring has arrived! In the Persian culture, the first day of spring, the vernal equinox, signifies the start of a new year. Think of March 20th as the Persian equivalent of Christmas, 4th of July, Easter, Valentine's Day, and Thanksgiving wrapped up into one 24 hour period. Yea, it's a super big deal.
The days leading up to Norooz (which means new day in Farsi) are filled with Persian mommas and aunties in a frenzy over getting the house just right for new year, eating your body weight in delicious home-cooked meals, and presents! The biggest, and most time-consuming, part of preparing for Norooz is cleaning the house. Every Persian has heard about the horrific things that could happen if you ring in the new year with a dirty house. Some families start as early as January to ensure every nook and cranny of their home is spotless before March 20th roles around. Now, I am not superstitious but there is no harm in doing it, you know, to be safe. I spent three full days turning my apartment upside down and purged like there was no tomorrow. I was honestly shocked at how much stuff I had crammed into my tiny San Francisco apartment.
While on my cleaning frenzy, I went through the boxes that housed clothes that did not belong in my current capsule. As I mentioned in my first capsule post, I do a lot of my wardrobe shopping in my closet because I've accumulated so much clothes over time. I was able to donate a lot of clothes and narrow everything down to just three small boxes! It was a proud moment, believe you me.
Since I was already knee deep in clothes, I figured it would be a good time to curate my spring capsule so I hit the internet for some inspo. I have been a fan of designspiration and find myself on it all the time. It is an infinite hub of creative content and I just can't get enough. It was on designspiration that I came across a talented illustrator named Ira Khroniuk. A member posted this beautiful floral watercolor print she designed and I could not get the image out of my head. It was with this bit of inspiration in mind that I went on to curate my Spring 2017 capsule.
I know what you're thinking – florals for spring? Groundbreaking. But one must look deeper than florals, young grasshopper, and explore the beauty of color.
Yes, I was struck by the floral pattern and the way the word "floral" weaved in and out of the vines but the colors were what influenced my Spring 2017 capsule. The cool tone greys, saturated oranges, and calm greens were most striking to me.
Spring is a time to shed layers of sweaters, scarves, and long sleeves for light weight textures and fabrics. Because San Francisco's weather is unpredictable, I opted to keep a few warm sweaters, my rain coat, and rain boots. Thanks to my color inspiration, I ditched the darker colors of winter and replaced them with brighter, more cheery colors like blush and orange. And you know I have to have my stripes!
Spring is also the time to try something new so I took the plunge and got myself a jumpsuit. I have experimented with jumpsuits and rompers in the past (aka tried them on in the fitting room and instantly took them off) but never felt comfortable or confident in them. I found the perfect olive green soft jumpsuit at UNIQLO and I feel fierce as all heck in it!
Curating this season's capsule validated the fact that inspiration can be found anywhere, and at any time, so it is important to welcome it with open arms. It sounds so silly but you literally feel weightless when you're on a creativity high. Like inspiration is the wind beneath your wings. Okay, I'm getting too carried away now but you get the point.
I hope this post inspires you as you embark on your own wardrobe refresh. If you enjoy curating capsules as much as I do, be sure to subscribe to my blog in the About Me section so you're always up-to-date with where I find my creative inspiration.
Until next season,
Xoxo – EK

Forgotten Music Thursday: Harry Chapin - Short Stories (1974)
W.O.L.D. tells the tale of an aging DJ constantly seeking happiness at his next stop on the radio dial only to one day find his life, looks, and youth have passed him by. The song was inspired by Boston DJ, Jim Connors who was instrumental in Harry's early success. Chapin overheard a phone conversation Connors had with his ex-wife that sparked a deep discussion between Chapin & Connors and that conversation was the inspiration for this song. The song is told through a phone conversation a DJ is having with his ex-wife, although you only ever hear his half of the conversation.
Harry hits another homerun with Mr. Tanner which tells the tale of a humble man in Dayton Ohio who runs a dry-cleaning business and has a talent for singing in local plays and shows. After increased pressure from his friends and neighbours he uses up all of his savings to book a concert hall in New York City to audition. Being crushed after receiving some rather unkind reviews, Mr. Tanner returns to Dayton where he never sings again, "excepting very late at night when the shop was dark and closed, he sang softly to himself as he sorted through the clothes." What drives the song home are the haunting background vocals of bass player, John Wallace as he sings O Holy Night. According to interviews this song was inspired by a couple of rather harsh reviews Harry read in the New York Times-- Harry actually quotes segments of both reviews in the song.
As good as all of the tracks are, of all the tracks on the album it is really buoyed even further by the aforementioned tracks and by the achingly beautiful Mail Order Annie. A sad tale of two lonely less than attractive people who, through unusual circumstances end up fighting that loneliness together-- a similar theme to what Harry tackled on the previous album with A Better Place to Be.
Once Harry found his voice, his comfort level and gained a bit of self-confidence as an artist his albums were elevated to another level. Short Stories is the first in a series of several Chapin albums that truly showed Harry at his creative peak, a peak he rode through the rest of the seventies and up to his untimely passing in 1981. Honestly, from this album on, there's not a weak one in Harry's entire catalog.

I loved Harry Chapin. Truly died too young by decades.
- Scott Parker said...
Honestly, I know the voice and the one, famous song, "Cat's in the Cradle." I like folk/storytelling singers and the songs you posted made me more interested in hearing some more tunes. "Mr. Tanner" is excellent and I agree with you that the bass player singing makes this song. Read the Wikipedia entry. Death by car crash. Yikes.
- Perplexio said...
pattinase: I "discovered" Harry when visiting my sister at her home in Rochester, NY when I was a young teen. She had his Greatest Stories Live on CD and at that point, Cats in the Cradle was the only of his songs I was familiar with. That CD left me hungry for more. He's one of my favorite songwriters. Once I became familiar with more of his material, I'd argue that Cats in the Cradle as brilliant as it is, isn't even one of his better songs.
Scott: I'm actually going through Harry's entire repertoire and reviewing all of his albums in chronological order. I've already reviewed Heads & Tails and Sniper & Other Love Songs and I'm currently working on the review for Verities and Balderdash (which is the album with Cats in the Cradle incidentally). I included YouTube clips with the other reviews as well if you're interested in sampling more of Harry's work before purchasing any of it.
- Sean Coleman said...
Great stuff. That recording that you generously steered my way is excellent, as is the review.
- Paul D. Brazill said...
I used to work in a second hand record shop and HC's records were always there. I've never checked him out but I will now.
- Charlie said...
This is one of the outstanding entries in Harry's catalog. You're right on about how good it is. However, I'm not quite sure I considered it forgotten. Then again, there's a whole younger generation out there who know nothing about Harry except for "Cats In The Cradle." So, maybe you're right.
- Perplexio said...
Sean - Glad you enjoyed the bootleg and this review.
Paul - Harry is well worth checking out. If you're new to Harry, I recommend starting with his Greatest Stories Live album. That's the one that got me hooked initially.
Charlie - I'd argue that other than Cats In the Cradle, Harry has been largely forgotten by all but those who are/were already familiar with the true depth and breadth of his talents.
- Barely Awake In Frog Pajamas said...
Like a lot of folks, I mostly know Harry Chapin's career for "Cat's In The Cradle." Actually, I kind of remember hearing "WOLD" when it was a hit.
And, as someone else noted, I've often seen his albums in the bins of used record stores. I'm certainly inclined to give them a home.
It's a shame how young he died (I remember seeing it on the news at the time). He seems like he was a good guy.
- Voice of Doom and Gloom said...
His best album, in my humble opinion. I really like his live album too (I'm truly partial to live albums over studio - but that's just me). I can't recall the name. It's here in the house somewhere but I'm too lazy right now to go look for it.

If a word or two could best describe the whirl wind of emotions we churn up on a daily, then we would all be boring scriptwriters.
Act! She says.
Lately, I have been procrastinating…on painting. The one lawless world, suddenly a rift of barriers and fears, I moulded from the dead crevices of my mental being. So much acting I have been doing. I no longer feel the path to freedom. The freedom of acrylic paint escaping between my fingers pressure, ready to murder the whiteness of the canvas face. With great rush and excitement. Instead, I am aloof. In limbo. Floating through the week as though it were a slide. Only to land at the top en route down again. Desperately trying to grasp Artist, their title bestowed upon me. Where am I…
Poetry spit:
I feel arrested,
my muscles in helpless rage
I wish to tear, a flood
but my shoulders wont drop.
Just to rest.
It's not my pride,
for which I have none but makings of
myself in tune with my
Rythmic trance,
I cry for you take me.
Take me to where I can let a collapse
and just.

The Sunday Drive
The Mercedes-Benz GLA-class compact crossover may not go on sale stateside for another year from now, but already Benz has a special edition ready for shoppers. The GLA-class Edition 1 will be available in Europe from the vehicle's launch in March, and will serve as a fine way for the automaker to bump up out-the-door prices on its entry-luxury crossover.
Using the Urban Line exterior trim as a starting point, Mercedes adds what it calls a "simulated underguard," chrome roof rails, and gloss-black-finished 19-inch AMG wheels, grille louvers, and side-mirror housings. The high-style treatments should pair nicely with the four available colors: Cirrus White, Orient Brown, Mountain Gray, and Designo Magno Mountain Gray. (If you like your vehicle's exterior to glow in the dark, we suggest you move along.) Naturally, the Edition 1 GLA-class will be adorned with numerous badges informing passers-by precisely which edition it is.

Other names: Fiddlehead Fern
Availability: April to mid-June
Source: United States.
Handling Tips: 32-34° F. Keep cold and dry.
General Information: The Fiddlehead Fern typifies Spring for many. These unusual, tightly coiled ferns appear annually and should not be missed. If their flavor can be described, it is that of asparagus, artichoke and a subtle grassyness. They may be boiled (removes bitterness), steamed or sauteed. Enjoy as a side dish, in fiddlehead soup, or cooked, then chilled, and served in salad.
When people say 'fiddlehead fern' they are most often talking about the ostrich fern. This is the species often available in produce markets and sometimes even on the menus of fine restaurants. These magnificent ferns grow mostly in shady river bottoms, where often they cover many acres of ground, but they are also occasionally found in rich hardwood forests. Ostrich fern ranges from Newfoundland to Alaska and British Colombia, south to northern California, the Midwest, and the Southern Appalachians. It is abundant in the upper Great Lakes, the Northeast, and much of southern Canada.
Nutritional: Fiddlehead ferns are a good source of vitamins A and C.
Applications: Fiddleheads are versatile and easy to use. They have a mild taste reminiscent of Asparagus with an added nutty bite all their own.
Fiddleheads are excellent marinated in vinegar and oil or as a crunchy pickle. As a featured vegetable they will please the most demanding palate. Fiddleheads can be used in similar ways to any firm green vegetable such as Asparagus or Broccoli florets.
Fiddleheads will lend their delicious flavor and elegant visual appeal to many familiar dishes. Use them as a perfect featured vegetable in a simple stir-fry.
The flavor of fiddleheads goes well with cheeses, tomato sauce and oriental cuisine. Excellent with Hollandaise sauce.
They are wonderful in pasta dishes with a sauce made from Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar. Saute, stir-fry or steam briefly to retain their crunchy texture and bright green color. Do not overcook.
