In order to become a well-rounded musician, you have to master the three major aspects of guitar playing: the technical side, the musical side and the creative side. The technical side comprises the actual physical components you need to have under your belt in order to get around your instrument.
Originally written for violin, there are many different versions you will find for guitar. There is no, single, master version for guitar, since it wasn't written for the instrument. Learning a few different versions would be a good idea. The different approaches will present varying techniques and interpretations.
We all have busy lives and responsibilities that distract us from our playing. For this reason, I've developed a quick, intensive guitar "workout" that can be completed in 30 minutes. You can use this by itself as a quick practice when time is limited or incorporate it into a longer practice session. Either way, this workout will help develop your playing in a number of important areas.
Whenever I feel my chops are slacking, I'll play some widestretch trilling exercises and take them up and down the neck as well as across it. I'll start off with a two-fret stretch trill between my index and middle fingers and do that until I feel a burn. Then I'll do the same thing with a three-fret trill between my index and ring fingers, and then a four-fret one between my index and pinkie.
Guitar World's Andy Aledort breaks down the classic Ozzy song featuring the guitar wizardry of Randy Rhoads.
When I was first getting into the guitar, I played it incessantly. I lived it, breathed it, ate it and slept it. I was also extremely self-critical, so from early on, I made sure to develop good playing habits—I constantly strove to sound in tune and have a great tone, and to play cleanly and in time. But I was also very hard on myself. If I played something incorrectly, I whipped myself mercilessly. Whenever I made a mistake, I made sure that I would never allow myself to repeat it.
In this column, I'd like to share with you a useful lesson that I teach my students, and that is the importance of rests, or silence, in music, and how to achieve it in a meaningful, controlled manner. I do this by teaching them some basic, stock jazz "riffs" that are both fun to play and beneficial for their general technique development.
I often use this exercise as a quick left-hand warmup. It's great for loosening up your left hand, especially for more complicated chordal work. It's also an excellent study for left-hand coordination and control. The concept is to play chromatic octaves starting on the low open E string entirely in first position. We will move up chromatically starting on the low E up to the G# on the first fret of the third string.

As I was walking around, I heard a violinist playing these wild exercises-he was wailing! I thought it would be really cool to adapt those licks to the guitar. Since the violinist didn't speak any English, I had to gesture for him to show me what he was doing. He gladly did, and then he showed me a bunch of variations, too. It was great; though we didn't speak, we nonetheless communicated very easily.

Complaints about care in the NHS are coming in from all over the country, a campaigner whose mother died at scandal-hit Stafford Hospital has said.
Julie Bailey called for changes at the top of the organisation and said not one person had been held to account for the failings in Staffordshire.
A report by Robert Francis QC published on Wednesday highlighted the "appalling and unnecessary suffering of hundreds of patients" at Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust between 2005 and 2009.
Patients were left for hours sitting in their own faeces, food and drink was left out of reach and hygiene was so poor that relatives had to clean toilets themselves.
Later, it emerged that five more trusts - Colchester Hospital University NHS Foundation Trust, Tameside Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust - are to be investigated after they had higher-than-average death rates two years running.
The families of those who suffered in Staffordshire have called for NHS chief Sir David Nicholson and Royal College of Nursing (RCN) chief executive Peter Carter to resign.
Miss Bailey, who set up campaign group Cure The NHS after her 86-year-old mother Bella died in 2007, told BBC Breakfast: "From all over the country I get emails asking for help, help for the complaints procedure, people that are actually suffering on the wards today, asking for help, from the particular hospitals that have been identified last night, but also other hospitals.
"I can take these complaints down to particular wards within hospitals, they are so frequent, but there's just nobody to help these people, and this is the huge problem that's going on throughout the whole of the country. We know the NHS does some wonderful things but we also know it's doing some awful things to people, and they're our most vulnerable."
Miss Bailey said there needed to be changes at the top of the NHS and denied that she was seeking scapegoats. She said: "This isn't scapegoating, these people have failed, these people knew what was going on at that hospital, these people had a responsibility, Peter Carter had a responsibility for his workforce, and Sir David Nicholson had a responsibility for patients."
Mr Carter told the programme he had no intention of resigning, saying: "Robert Francis was quite clear that the responsibility lay with the trust board and other bodies who had responsibility." He said it was necessary to get behind the Francis Report and implement its recommendations.

A lot of the more advanced phones are able to transfer data between a computer and the phone. If you're like me, however, your phone might not be that advanced. If that's the case, if it has a voice recorder, just play it on your computer with the phone's receiver right next to the speaker, and record it. Then change your text message sound or ring tone to the recorded file. If you don't have the file on your computer, I know some of the people on Gamefaqs' forums have put some of the files up for download. It may take a bit of trial and error, but as long as you have decent speakers and are holding the phone in the right place, you should be good. If you have external speakers for your tv, you might be able to get it from them. The built-in speakers usually aren't good enough for that.

The top two graduates for the 2013 senior class at Tomball High School have many things in common – extracurricular activities, grades, friends and they both attribute their success to one thing – hard work.
Rachel Mai and Amy Shaklovitz have been named as the top performers in their senior class of nearly 700 graduates. The pair are involved in numerous activities at the school, as well as in the community.
Mai and Shaklovitz sat down for an interview recently and here are their responses.
Q: What are your plans for college?
Amy: "I am going to Texas A&M. I'll be a general engineering major and after I complete my basics, I'm going to switch to petroleum engineering."
Rachel: "I am planning to go to the University of Houston and I'll be classified as a biology major. Hopefully, I'll be done with everything in three years and then I'm going to apply to dental school – the UT dental branch in Houston."
Q: What activities did you participate in while at Tomball?
Amy: "All four years I played volleyball and golf my freshman year. I did tennis my sophomore, junior, and senior years. I've been in National Honor Society, Student Council, Mu Alpha Theta (math honor society), Senior Girls and Spanish Honor Society."
Rachel: "I've been in Student Council and I've participated in Health Occupation Students of America (HOSA) for three years. I really enjoy HOSA because I want to work in the medical field. I've also been in National Honor Society and Mu Alpha Theta. I also volunteer at a Vietnamese school in Houston."
Q: What advice would you give to younger students?
Amy: "I would tell them it's important to start early and keep up with your work."
Rachel: "I would tell them to have good time management and know how to use your time wisely and balance your school work and activities after school. I would also say to stay drug free and have fun."
Q: What will you take with you as you graduate from high school?
Amy: "The friendships. Being on teams in school I have made good friends and I know I'll keep up with them in college. Being on a team you really get to know each other and you get close."
Rachel: "Definitely, prom was memorable. Hanging out with friends at prom and project prom was great. It was magical like a dream come true."

John E. McStravick, a Texas A&M graduate and registered professional engineer, began his career with Halliburton Energy Services in 1987. He worked almost 10 years before receiving a law degree from St. Mary's University in San Antonio. McStravick was admitted to the Texas Bar in 1998 and is registered to practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office. He is a member of several organizations including the American Bar Association, the Houston Bar Association, the Society of Petroleum Engineers and the Knights of Columbus. A parishioner of St. Anne Catholic Church in Tomball, McStravick knows what it is to hear the call of God to serve.
In 2000 he was elected to the Tomball ISD Board of Trustees and has served as an officer and president of the Board during those years. The son of the late Peter, and Ann McStravick, John McStravick has lived in many places including Australia. But home has always been close to the native Tomball Texan and Tomball High School alumnus.
McStravick will share his message, "My Spiritual Journey's Influence on the Facets of My Life," when he is the featured speaker at the Christian Business Luncheon Aug. 14. The CBL will meet in its summer location, Lone Star College-Tomball, Room N103 (the glass room off the Commons near the cafeteria).
Doors open at 11:30 a.m. for the 12 to 1 p.m. luncheon. Lone Star College-Tomball is located at 30555 Tomball Pkwy.. RSVP's are not necessary but available online at, ChristianBusinessLuncheon.org. Free will donations are accepted in lieu of payment.
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) released the results of the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) exam. Although TEA has not released the passing standards for the STAAR exam, Tomball ISD's students scored very well on the new state assessment.
"As we look at the raw scores, it is apparent that in most areas our students scored better than students in our surrounding school districts," John Neubauer, superintendent of schools, said. "I am very pleased with our results."
As students and teachers prepared for the test last year, there were many uncertainties for all public schools. Tomball ISD administrators knew that the test would align with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills curriculum that all public schools use, but administrators were uncertain of the test format and the design of the test questions. The test was also timed, which presented a new challenge for students. Furthermore, TEA did not provide school districts with the passing rates for the STAAR exam.
"Despite a great deal of uncertainty, our teachers and students are to be commended for a job well done," Neubauer said.
As a result of TEA implementing a new testing system, students in different grade levels took various tests. Although students in grades three through eight took the STAAR test, students in grades seven through nine took STAAR End of Course (EOC) exams if they were taking a course requiring an EOC test. Sophomores and juniors in high school took the TAKS test. As students in these grade levels graduate, the TAKS test will be replaced by the STAAR EOC exams for all grades at the high school level.
Tomball ISD's STAAR test results indicated that students in grades three through eight scored higher than the state scores on the reading, writing, math, science, and social studies STAAR tests. Junior high and high school freshmen students scored higher than the state scores on the reading, writing, algebra I, geometry, science, and social studies STAAR EOC exams. Sophomores and juniors who took the English language arts, math, algebra I, science, and social studies TAKS tests also scored higher than the state scores.
Neubauer expects the STAAR passing rates to be released by TEA in 2013. "Even though we are still waiting on the passing standards, we remain committed to academic excellence," Neubauer said. "I am confident that our students and teachers will do their best as they prepare for the second administration of the STAAR and EOC exams."
Tomball High School has received the 2012 College Readiness Award from the Texas ACT Council for increasing the number of students taking the ACT Assessment over the past five years and significantly increasing the level of achievement and college readiness.
"It is an honor for our campus to be recognized," Greg Quinn, principal of Tomball High School, said. "We have encouraged students to take more rigorous coursework, which has resulted in an increase in the number of students taking the ACT. They're prepared and they're performing well. We're very proud of them."
The Texas ACT Council is comprised of secondary and postsecondary educators who advise ACT, Inc. on the utilization of ACT programs and services in Texas schools and colleges.
Karen Pennell, assistant vice president and ACT southwest regional manager, explained that the Texas ACT Council wanted to recognize Texas high schools that have made significant strides in increasing the college and career readiness of their graduates as demonstrated by an increase in their ACT scores over the past five years.
"This can only happen as a result of the efforts of the faculty and staff and the dedication of Tomball High School students and parents as they focus on raising the level of academic readiness for all students," Pennell said.
Only 170 high schools in Texas were honored for this accomplishment, which represents only nine percent of all Texas high schools.
Tomball ISD will host a parent summit addressing school safety, Monday, April 29, from 7-8:30 p.m. at the Tomball High School Auditorium, 30330 Quinn Road. A panel comprised of Tomball ISD educators, local law enforcement officers and emergency responders will discuss and answer questions regarding school safety. For more information visit www.tomballisd.net.
Bond 2013, a $160 million bond proposal which will appear on the May 11 ballot for voter approval will be the topic of the Greater Tomball Area Chamber of Commerce Networking Luncheon, May 3. Tomball ISD Trustee Ken Odom, Superintendent John Neu-bauer and Deputy Super-intendent Huey Kinchen will address the gathering.
Chamber members, their guests, and the public are encouraged to attend this very informative luncheon from noon to 1 p.m. at the Elmer L. Beckendorf Conference Center on the Lone Star College - Tomball campus located at 30555 Tomball Pkwy. Doors open at 11:30 a.m.
Katie Doerre has spent her high school softball career traveling the nation. She is gone so much that she sometimes forgets what her own bed feels like.
"I've been traveling pretty much all summer for four years," Doerre said. "(Recently she spent) one week at Gold Nationals in Oklahoma, where I had a full week there and came home for one day, before I got on a plane to go California for a week."
That dedication has earned Doerre a spot at Texas State University as a catcher, as well as recognition as one of the best softball players ever at Tomball High School (THS).
Playing the sport since she was very young – "I started playing tee-ball when I was four." --- Doerre found her calling as a catcher early in life.
"I started off at third base and the outfield and then one of the coaches, I think it was 10 and under (league), asked if anyone wanted to be the catcher because one was hurt, so I just put the gear on and went out there," she said. "I've been catching ever since."
Doerre describes herself as a take-charge catcher. She studies hitters tendency and calls pitch sequences based upon that study. She thrives on pressure.
"I've called every game in high school -- all four years," she said. "I kind of taught myself how to when I was younger and then one of the main people to help was my tournament coach, Richard Bass. He had me mirror one of the older catchers when I was a freshman."
"I want to be the person to win the game, or on the defensive side to make a play at the plate," she added. "I love those moments."
Now heading off to college, Doerre said it will be an adjustment, but she has other goals, including hopefully making the U.S. national team someday.
"That's been a goal of mine since I was a little kid," she said. "They took it out (of the Olympics) and it was kind of a bummer, but there is talk of them bringing it back for 2016, which would be perfect because it's my senior year."
She chose Texas State, she said, because it felt like family.
"It seemed like they really, really wanted me," Doerre said. "They pursued me the hardest. They started looking at me when I was a freshman. I like the town a lot. My parents told me it's not just about softball it's about what you want to do and they have my degree plan, which is physical therapy."
Doerre said that her career choice wasn't her father's -- Tomball Police Cpt. Rickey Doerre -- first choice.
"Dad wanted me to be an FBI agent or wildlife," she said laughing.
She credits her father for his help along the way as her first coach.
He has done so much for me," she said.
As for her favorite memories of playing at Tomball?
"It was junior year and we were playing Pearland, a really intense game and we were tied with runners at first and second," Doerre said. "I was at bat and I had gotten a really bad strike call on me at my ankles. Then the pitcher throws me an outside rise ball and I took it yard to the opposite field."
The competition isn't the only thing Doerre said she will miss.
"Tomball is really supportive of their sports teams and I'll miss that, but I'll really miss the girls. The team is like family and we are all splitting up."
Doerre said that while her high school chapter is now over, she wouldn't change a thing.
"I couldn't have asked for a better career."
STARKVILLE, Miss. - It was a remarkable debut weekend in collegiate volleyball, as Mississippi State's libero position has helped Roxanne McVey earn Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week honors.
McVey, a former Tomball Lady Cougar standout, took the early SEC league for digs with 88 scoops during three matches in the Maroon Classic. McVey tallied 21 digs in her first collegiate match, added 25 in Saturday's win over ULM and concluded the weekend in the Newell-Grissom Building with a school-record 42 digs in the tourney championship match against Kennesaw State. She bettered the previous school record of 39 digs set by Shauna Owens in 1991 against Sam Houston State. For the week, McVey averaged 7.33 digs per set and better than 30 per match.
It's the third straight season and fourth overall that a Mississippi State player has earned the league's weekly honor for freshmen. She joins previous honorees Martina Gregusova (2006), Paris Perret (2010) and Lainey Wyman (2011).
Tomball High School Assistant Baseball Coach Tim Dyson (back, left) and Head Baseball Coach Doug Rush (back, right) congratulated seniors (from left) Ishmael Edwards, Bryce Welborn and Nicholas Banks for earning scholarships to play baseball in college. Edwards will play outfield at Howard Junior College. Welborn will pitch for Texas Tech University. Banks will play outfield and pitch at Texas A&M University.

Obituary: Hunter Himes, 15
Services will be held Tuesday and Wednesday for Himes, a Downers Grove teen who died Sunday from injuries sustained during a bicycle accident in Darien.
Hunter Anthony Himes, 15, of unincorporated Downers Grove, died Sunday from injuries sustained during a bicycle accident in February 2012.
Hunter, who would have been a freshman at Downers Grove South this year, was left in a persistent vegetative state from brain injuries suffered after he was struck by a car while riding his bike home from a friend's house in Darien. His parents, Mark and Terra Ihde, put him on hospice in November after learning he would not recover.
He died Sunday morning in his home. He is survived by his parents and two younger sisters, Chase and Calyn, along with numerous family members and friends.
Hunter's father, Mark Ihde posted the following message to Facebook on Sunday:
"I'd like to thank each and every one of you that stood by our sides through this tragedy. Your kind words, your generosity, your prayers, your actions, your new found love for anything this may have drawn you closer to. Hunter was such a great boy and we struggle to find answers to why this happened. Know that he loves you all. Know that we love and appreciate you all. Thanks so much and God Bless you."
Visitation will be held from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 15, at Modell Funeral Home, 7710 S. Cass Ave. in Darien. Because of parking constraints, a continuous shuttle bus will run from Lakeview Junior High School, 701 Plainfield Road in Downers Grove, to Modell from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.
A funeral service will be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church, 8404 S. Cass Ave. in Darien. Interment will be private.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to:

Hunter loved playing guitar and proudly owned the same electric model as Angus Young of his favorite band, AC/DC. He was also a talented athlete who started playing football with the Downers Grove Panthers at age 9.
The Panthers are asking that members of the organization wear jerseys or spirt wear Tuesday in memory of Hunter.

I did not know Hunter, but my 13 year old daughter did. My wife didn't know Hunter, but had been following his progress. When she told me of Hunter's passing it brought a lump to my throat and tears to my eyes. A young life cut short is hard to justify. From his picture he looked like a fine young man. No parent ever wants to see another parent go through this. We all hurt, cry & ache with this tragic loss as a community. Forever Hunter!!!

My condolences to Hunter's family. My famly didn't know him, but both my 13 and 7 year old boys are in the same Ide/Prairieview/Lakeview school system. We all went to a few fundraiser events for him that hopefully helped the situation at least a little bit.
I will always remember the fateful night when Hunter was hit. I was driving home, saw a police car blocking Lemont Rd. at 83rd St., and glanced further south down Lemont Rd. to see perhaps a dozen police cars with their lights flashing. My heart sank as I feared that something terrible had happened where my grandmother lives - a few doors down from Beller & Lemont. Due to the proximity to my grandmother's home, I drove through the neighborhood around the police blockade to check it out. It was dark and I couldn't get close enough to see clearly, but I saw a pickup truck with what appeared to be a bike stuck well underneath it. The crowd of spectators and I hoped that no one was seriously hurt (Hunter and the driver were already removed from the scene by that time). Sadly, we now know the whole horrific story.
I wish I had a time machine so I could go back to 2/26/12 and be standing there to stop Hunter from riding into the crosswalk.
Hunter's memory will be with our family forever. When we walk or bike through intersections and stop at crosswalks when driving, we're all going to think about him and be more careful in every way.

I never knew him .. he was in a grade above ours . Although I saw him pass in the hallways every now and then . I had went to support him every time there was an event . Hunter, I know this may be a late response to your incident, but I would like to say, you seemed a nice guy . I hope you're at peace now . Now, at your old middle school which I am still at, we are doing all of these safety tips, still . My best wishes to the Himes family . The whole LVJHS has had hope for Hunter since day 1 until the last .

New Jersey Man Breaks Arcade Record
By editor
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep, with the triumph of George Leutz, who set a Guinness World Record at a New Jersey arcade. The newspaper, the Hunterdon County Democrat, says he played a single game of Q-bert for 84 hours and 48 minutes. Q-bert hasn't been hot in decades, but had advantages. He could get far ahead and drop the joystick to take a nap. He could play one-handed, using the other hand to eat. And at last he completed his lonely quest, which started on Valentine's Day. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

About 20 acres of grass burned Friday near Machado Lake at Ken Malloy Harbor Regional Park in Harbor City, firefighters said.
No structures were threatened by the 2 p.m. fire in the 1700 block of West L Street, a road between the lake and Harbor College, said Los Angeles fire spokesman Matt Spence said.
Five or six homeless people were escorted from the area. No one was injured.
Helicopters dropped water on to the blaze.
"It's a difficult-to-access area," Spence said. "It's a tough area back there behind the Harbor Park Golf Course."
The fire burned light grass, and there was little wind.
Firefighters contained the blaze by 5 p.m., but continued to mop up hot spots. Hand crews worked to ensure the fire was out.

"Best fitting Hoody I own thus far!" 04/05/13
And it was FREE! Seriously, though, it fits loosely and feels so soft. Love my RED Jen Hoody and wear it whenever I can. Get one for yourself and you'll never want to take it off. Unless, of course, you decide to bathe or shower or ....
"Best Free Item I Have Ever Received!" 03/21/13
Bought some christmas presents and got this hoody for free! Love that the sleeves are long and it has not shrunk even though I have worn and washed it several times. I love the red color! It is a great fit and is so warm. I wear this hoody about once a week just around the house or out running errands. I love, love, love it!!
"Daily Favorite" 03/01/13
I purchased this hoody for my wife for Christmas. It seems to be one of three or four pieces of clothing that she always reaches for. The sizing is spot on. It launders especially well also, which is sometimes an issue with sweatshirts. The interior is soft and comfortable but it doesn't constantly leave fuzz on whatever you may have on underneath. Great length in the arms and at the waist to avoid exposure and gapping.
"Fits well, looks great!" 01/19/13
This hoody is by far my favorite hoody. It fits well, has awesome long cuffs, and the hood is comfortable. Best of all, it's an awesome color. I ordered the 'Lipstick Red' hoody, and it's fantastic. I get complemented every time I wear it!
"Good For a Lazy Day" 01/15/13
I wanted this for around the house on lazy days when wearing real clothes is just to hard. The M seems pretty roomy which in my opinion is a good thing. The sleeves and overall length are also good. Red is a good color. The only thing that is a bit iffy is the screen-printing...it seems a little transparent and blotchy. I have not washed it yet, so I can't say about the durability.
"Cool and trendy" 01/09/13
I got this free when my cousin bought his TNF Jacket last December. I am 5'1", 110lbs and size small fits me perfectly. It's very fashionable and warm. I used this during our christmas trip to Atlantic City and everyone noticed it. What's funny, is one of the hotel personnel asked me what's the brand of my sweatshirt and when I said Moosejaw, she asked where can i buy it.I love this sweatshirt, it fits perfectly, the cut is nice and awesome, most i like the color and the materials. It's light, warm and soft.I strongly recommend this to everyone.SweetAiviloToronto, Ontario, Canada
"It's My New Favorite!" 01/02/13
This hoody was free with a purchase I recently made. I didn't know what I was getting but I'm so glad I decided to order it anyway. It's comfortable and super cute. So cute and comfy that my little sister has tried to steal it 4 times now. I guess she'll be getting one in the mail soon. :)
So sorry, but this item is sold out
You probably would have looked amazing with it too.

Okay....so my wife's scanlation group is looking at scanlating the Metroid manga, the one under the MZM section
They are looking at plausible scanlating the Metroid manga; however, I need to get at least the first chapter to them. Will the MDB have any problems with me saving these pictures from the MZM Manga section to forward on to them?
If not, that's great, they will determine if they want to work it from there.
Secondly, if they do decide to scanlate it, does anyone actually physically own this manga? If they work it, they will probably want EXTREME high quality scans (talking like 4000 in height type thing.) to be able to clean/translate the pages (they are very proud of the high quality work they do)
Let me know so I can try to get the ball rolling. Y'all will be really pleased if this does happen to go through but I need to know!

When the topic of this column first surfaced, I wasn't sure if I could count 10 vehicles that have had an impact on my life. I have only owned one vehicle, although I have driven countless.
The 10 vehicles that my husband and I own are more his than mine.
My one vehicle is still my favourite. After 14 years, I never tire of the feel of the steering wheel, the distinct sound of the six-cylinder engine and how nice the low-end torque is when I'm just puttering around town. Yes, there are vehicles with more horsepower, fancier interiors, cooler gadgetry but when it comes down to it, I don't think I will ever bring myself to sell the vehicular love of my life, my 1999 Volkswagen GTi VR6.
Unless of course, it meant buying an Audi TT RS like the one that floated through my life for a brief romance last year. Would I trade in my pristine white GTi for that Sepang Blue Pearl Audi TT RS Coupé? Let me think. One hundred seventy-two horsepower to 360. That snappy 2.4 seconds in which the TT moves from 0 to 100 km/h. The deliciously throaty exhaust note that comes as a $1,500-option. I'm still thinking. And obviously very fascinated by this vehicle that I've had stuck in my head since I first drove it.
To go from these hip and sexy vehicles to the next one on my list of vehicles that have had some kind of impact on my life seems, at the very least, odd.
A two-door 1995 Pontiac Firefly was a leased company vehicle on which I re-learned to drive a manual transmission. Pride of ownership was not high so it didn't matter too much how much grinding, stalling and clutch-popping I did during my driver training. I did love that Firefly though with its hatchback for loading and carrying stuff and its no-nonsense attitude.
The Gremlin and the Pacer, both from AMC, spanned the decade between 1970 and 1980, my so-called formative years. These two vehicles, iconic for perhaps the wrong reasons, strike me as unique in design to this day and were probably two vehicles that spurred my initial interest in cars.
Today, they seem to make those 50-worst-cars-of-all-time and ugliest-cars-ever lists. I sure noticed them and a lot of other people did, too.
I have a term of endearment for things that are cute, usually animals or humans. It's 'noo-noo,' pronounced 'new-new.' As in, 'Oh, look at that puppy! What a noo-noo!' It can apply to cars as well. It's not an official or technical term but there's no equivalent 'real' word.
Whenever I'd see a BMW 7-series, the E38 built between 1995 and 2001, I would say 'Big Noo-Noo'. The elegance, stance and presence of the BMW 740i, 740iL or 750iL was one of the first sedans to speak to me about luxurious sophistication.
When I first laid eyes on a Lamborghini Aventador LP-700-4, my breath caught in my throat. I've had similar reactions to vehicles before, usually of the supercar variety. But this particular vehicle made such an impact on me, on a pure visceral level that it has set a benchmark. I almost had to look away, it felt like I was looking too long into the sun. Colour rushed to my face as if I had been caught doing something bad.
The Corvette, another icon, has always been on my list. Any list. I wouldn't mind one in my driveway when I hit that birthday that, you know, ends in zero. There's a black-as-cosmos 2004 triple black Corvette convertible that haunts my dreams. There's a 505-horsepower screaming yellow Z06 that's been in my head since 2006. I probably think about a 1963 split window Sting Ray more often than I should. And now Jan. 13, 2013 is coming and with it the C7. What's a girl to do?
This past spring, I threw a 2013 Porsche Boxster S around a track. For 90 minutes, there was nothing else going on in the world except me driving that Boxster S on a twisting, relentless road course. I will not soon forget that car or the experience.
In some ways, a certain 1991 GMC Jimmy is the vehicle that has had the greatest impact on my life. It's what my now-husband was driving when I met him. The Jimmy had already done events like 'Seven East Bloc Capitals in Seven Days', to celebrate the Fall of the Berlin Wall.
It had driven across the country for 'Atlantic to Pacific, Canada's Terrific' in search of 'I love Canada' stories, during the tumultuous times of the Meech Lake accord debates.
Black paint, black wheels, that Jimmy had a character that was manly and boyish at the same time.
And I guess that's why the truck and the driver appealed to me, some 15 years ago and today.

April 15, 2010
On April 7, 2010 the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") released for comment proposed rules that would dramatically change the disclosure, reporting and offering process for asset-backed securities ("ABS"). The proposed regulations (collectively the "ABS Proposals") establish extensive new requirements for ABS offered publicly pursuant to Regulation AB. At the same time, through modifications to Rule 144A, Rule 144 and Regulation D, the ABS Proposals would indirectly impose most of the disclosure and reporting requirements of Regulation AB even on structured finance or synthetic securities sold only in non-registered transactions. This memorandum summarizes the principal features of the proposed amendments to Regulation AB, outlines the major effects of the ABS Proposals on privately placed and Rule 144A transactions and discusses timing of implementation of the ABS Proposals.

Trained in Boston and Paris, Dewing preferred as his subjects idealized patrician women in attitudes inspired by the figural Symphonies, Arrangements, Harmonies, and Notes by the American expatriate painter James Abbott McNeill Whistler. Indeed, such exquisite studies as "Woman in a Blue Dress" descend directly from Whistler's subtle pastels, right down to Dewing's use of light brown "Whistler" paper, originally supplied to him by a patron of both artists. Dewing emulated Whistler's discreet, often minimal, touch with pastel crayons, typically exploiting the paper color, as here, to model form in light and dark. Unlike Whistler, he did not generally accent contours in black line but revealed the figure—particularly the flesh—with concentrations of pale pigment to realize a haunting, weightless yet sensuous appartition.
