Bring the water to a boil in a large pot. In a large saute pan set on high heat, heat the olive oil until sizzling, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, onion, peas and asparagus and cook until the garlic begins to brown, about 2 minutes. Add the wind and boil until reduced by half, 1-2 minutes. Stir in the parsley, salt, pepper, vegetable or chicken stock and the cream and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the sauce is slightly thickened.
While the sauce is simmering, cook the past in tht boiling water for three-quarters fo the recommended cooking time (the pasta will finish cooking in the oven). Drain the pasta well and return to the pot. Pour the finished sauce over the pasta and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish and spoon one-third of the pasta evenly over the bottom of the dish. Top with one-third of the mozzarella cheese, then one-third of the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. Repeat these layers 2 more times. Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the top and bake for 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Remove the pasta from the oven and let sit for 10-15 minutes before serving.

It has been a fascinating few weeks here over the Christmas/New Year period. In the traditional land of plenty where the Christmas rush sees delivery drivers run off their feet and shop assistants trampled in the rush to block out the last vestige of daylight under the Christmas Tree, I know of several instances where people couldn't buy the Wii toy or the World of Warcraft upgrade DVD they were looking for, as the stores - deathly frightened of having too much inventory to offload after a dead season - were only buying fractional amounts of the usual.
Checkouts were busy, judging from the conversations I had with the kids bagging the goods and taking the money, but sales were down. Also - there seems to have been a big shift in where people were spending their hard earned, and on what. The missus loves a store called Hobby Lobby, where you can buy anything from wrapping paper to glue to glitter to plaster of paris. Seems like this place did a bumper trade and during my three visits there over the last few weeks (another story that I won't bore Henry's readers with - suffice it to say that I was apparently a sufficiently good boy that I get to play golf with my buddies in Myrtle Beach now), the staff told me that they could not remember a bigger Christmas period. Apparently people were giving the gift of handcrafts! The other tell-tale sign is that the queues at Wal-Mart were running five yards deep the entire week in the runup to Christmas, whereas returning a jewellery item for Mrs. Lexington was met with an empty store and had to be taken as store credit ("new policy sir - sorry").
People are definitely feeling the pinch.
They are optimistic people, these Americans though. The prevailing sense was one of "make the best of a bad thing" and "back to the true meaning of Christmas" and so on - it's hard to tell who has been laid off and who hasn't.
The crickets are chirping away on the car lots too, and there was no activity whatsoever, despite dealer incentives of up to $10,000 (not a typo) and 0% financing (not a typo either) to get the punters moving around. As soon as the rescue package was announced, a few people started moving, but for the foreseeable future, if anyone knows anyone Stateside who makes their living selling American cars, I would counsel packaging up unwanted clothes and blankets and shipping them over... they may just arrive in time.
There is a lot of disillusionment with the auto bailout. Most punters don't want it, and especially don't want it without significan union concessions. The biggest mistake a lot of people make is to assume the US economy is a free-market. In fact, it is riddled with anti-capitalist, protectionist artefacts all over the place which, until fixed, will condemn the US taxpayer to owning bigger and bigger shares of increasingly dysfunctional industry sectors.
One example: CAFÉ (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) laws in the US require (yes, require) the manufacturers to sell a fleet of cars that has an AVERAGE fuel economy below a certain government mandated threshold. This means the little cars that nobody wants keep getting manufactured so they can offset the fuel economy of the bigger ones. Even in a high oil price environment, nobody is going to buy some of these cars, but the auto manufacturers are essentially forced to keep making them. This against a backdrop of a legacy agreement with the unions which requires any union worker laid off to collect 90% of their salary for 2 years after the lay-off. There is no incentive to lay off workers in this environment, so you have workers that nobody needs making cars that nobody will buy, and shipping them to dealers that nobody will buy from (a law requires a minimum number of auto dealers from each of the big three to be located in each state - regardless of sales).
There is a growing movement in the US Auto consumer circles to "buy non-American" as the Japanese auto makers run non-union shops, make better cars and sell them at a better price.
Things is gonna git worse afore they git better.
Happy New Year to you, Dear Henry, and all your readers.

Tennis coach Doug Failla returns to competitive play
By Bill Tamburrino
Doug Failla recently returned to competitive tennis. Doug started playing tennis at the age of 7 and started playing competitive tennis at the age of 9.
His mom (Nancy) and dad (Don) got him and his brother Greg started in the state of Washington and the two have been playing tennis literally all over the world ever since.
Doug played on Ramona's first league and CIF championship tennis team and graduated from RHS in 1985. He went to Grossmont College and played on Grossmont's first state championship team. He played two years at Long Beach State and when the Forty Niners (they are only Dirt Bags in baseball) dropped the tennis program Doug transferred to Drake University and was the Missouri Valley Conference champion and MVP.
After college Doug played on several professional circuits in America and Europe. That is where the coaching bug bit Doug. He coached his brother on the pro tour in 1991. The bug took him to UNLV where he coached Luke Smith to a National Championship in singles and Smith and Tim Blenkiron in doubles for the Rebels. He also continued to compete in tournaments.
Doug moved from Vegas to Puerto Rico where he continued to play and coach. He played with the Puerto Rican Davis Cup Team while working as a tennis professional at the Palmas Del Mar Resort.
He returned to Ramona and continued to coach but stopped playing competitively in 2001.
Doug has coached the boys' tennis team at RHS for nine years and the girls for eight years. He contemplated a career in education and started working on a teaching credential and substitute teaching.
He loves history and has a degree in history. He loves tennis even more. So when an opportunity came that allowed him to continue teaching and stay in tennis at the same time, he decided not to teach history but to teach tennis.
Doug is the tennis director and head pro at Riviera Oaks Resort and Racquet Club. There are dream jobs and there is heaven. Doug considers teaching tennis and working at a tennis resort closer to heaven than a dream job.
"I desire to use my gifts to teach and coach tennis," he said. "I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to use my leadership skills to positively influence the next generation. I am very blessed."
After 10 years of playing recreational tennis and maybe a tournament or two a year, Doug was bitten by the same bug that got him when he was 9.
"I had almost forgotten how much fun competitive tennis was," he said. "I worked out some with Leland Rolling, who represented the U.S. in the 45 year old division championships in New Zealand. I turn 49 this year and figured that it would be a great idea to compete again. Every five years senior tennis players enter a new age group. I had to get into singles shape, which is different than doubles shape. It was the right time."
Doug continued playing with Rolling and his brother and after seven months he got back into shape and tournament play. Not just any tournament. Doug entered the 125th SCTA Sectional Championship Tournament in Claremont.
Southern California is a hotbed for tennis and Doug decided to go for the big one. Doug is a member of Team Babolat, but paid his own entry fee.
Off the court Doug is quiet and soft-spoken. He is an excellent communicator. His players and students respect him.
On the court he is a different person. He is confident and he is aggressive—very aggressive. He is a fierce competitor. His competitive spirit comes out while he is coaching an RHS match, but it really comes out when he is on the court.
"My strengths are my serve and my forehand," he said. "When I am making shots I can hold my own. I get aggressive with my serve and forehand.
"When you enter a tennis tournament you worry about winning in the first round. Once you get started and get the first win under your belt you gain more and more confidence. I had been working out with Leland and my brother and I had confidence in my game. After the first round win I got more and more confident. When I made it to the second week I thought that I had a good shot."
Doug was not seeded in the tournament and was in the bracket with the number one seed. He beat Jeroslav Melka of Torrance in the opening round of play 6-0 and 6-1.
In the quarterfinals he beat the number three seed, Jason Guillen of Santa Ana 6-4 and 6-2, and he advanced to week two of the tourney.
Doug faced Leif Nordlund of Palm Desert in the semifinals. Nordlund came from behind to upset the number one seed Peter Davidson of Laguna Beach. Failla beat Nordlund in two tough sets 6-3 and 6-4 to earn a berth in the championship finals. Doug beat Bruce Beinlich of Fullerton 6-0 and 6-2 to win the Sectional Championship.
What next?
"I am gearing up for the national 45-year-olds' Hard Court Championships in June. I would like to someday be able to represent the United States like Leland has done. Maybe make a U.S. Senior team. Right now I am really enjoying the competition. I plan on entering six to seven tournaments a year and see where that takes me."
Doug loves tennis, loves teaching tennis, loves coaching tennis and loves playing tennis. He is doing what he loves to do and he is doing it well.
Doug loves the fact that the loves of his life, his wife Kim and his son Christian, are cheering for him. He is blessed indeed.

CARLSBAD: Man accused in string of bank robberies pleads not guilty
Steven Craig Hart allegedly told bank tellers money was for dying son
A Carlsbad man accused of carrying out a string of North County bank heists in which he allegedly told tellers he needed money for his dying son pleaded not guilty Thursday to federal robbery and attempted robbery charges.
Steven Craig Hart was indicted Tuesday and entered his denial to the charges Thursday in a brief hearing before Magistrate Judge Ruben Brooks.
Hart was arrested Jan. 21 at his residence in the 2000 block of Avenue of Trees following a multi-jurisdictional investigation into 11 robberies and attempted robberies attributed to the "Dying Son Bandit" between November and last month, according to FBI Special Agent Keith Slotter.
Hart allegedly claimed the money from the heists was needed for his son, but investigators determined the references to a dying child were false, Slotter said.
The "Dying Son Bandit" also told tellers he had a gun and would use it if they didn't give him money.
The grand jury indictment alleges Hart netted more than $17,000 in five bank robberies in Carlsbad, Encinitas, San Marcos, Oceanside and San Diego.
Hart will be back in court March 19 before U.S. District Judge William Q. Hayes for a motion and trial-setting hearing.

How to avoid starting a war with next door
Consider carefully before acting against bad neighbours
Ruth from Poole, Dorset writes: My husband and I are teachers. With our two children and our dog, we recently moved into a cottage in a quiet street which leads down to the beach.
What began as an idyllic move out of the big city is fast becoming a nightmare, however. My neighbour is a cantankerous elderly gentleman who lives alone except for regular visits from his lady friend, who seems to be equally eccentric.
When we called round to say hello, we were met with a string of expletives and the door was slammed in our faces. Both of them were obviously drunk. Then my son lost his football and they confiscated it. But now we have this. There is a strip of land, not much more than three feet wide, which separates our houses. It gives access from the street to a garage-type structure in his back garden which I think he uses as a games room. He could equally well access it from the other side of his house and rear garden.
When we purchased our cottage, there were several pretty floral bushes which our vendors had planted immediately next to my house, within this narrow strip. Last weekend we were in London for a wedding. When we got home, we were amazed to discover all the bushes had been completely (and, in fairness, quite neatly) removed. We confronted him, and he claimed that the strip of land belongs to him, that even if it does not, he has a right of way over it permitting him access to his games room, and that he is a retired solicitor (which is true) and he will "fight us all the way in court". I have contacted our conveyancing solicitor, who says the strip is clearly shown as belonging to us on the plans with no right of way recorded. His games room does not even appear, which suggests he built it fairly recently. We have no funds to spare for a legal dispute. What shall we do ?
Ruth, you face the classic dilemma of how to deal with bad neighbours. Do you let sleeping dogs lie, given that the bushes are gone anyway, or do you defend your rights, given that he sounds the kind of bully who may otherwise keep on coming at you?
My instincts have always been to give clients the latter advice. You actually have several options which could make life uncomfortable for him, without involving you in legal expense. Firstly, and assuming as your own solicitor advised you that the strip is not his land and that he knows it, he has stolen your bushes. You could complain immediately to your local police station. They may investigate and interview him, even if he is merely cautioned at the end of the day. Next, this conduct by a solicitor would be unprofessional, and could therefore form the basis of a complaint by you to the Solicitors Regulation Authority. It is perhaps not generally known that every professional person is subject to professional codes of behaviour which impose higher standards than the general law of the land.
Next, you can enquire of your local council whether he did have planning permission for his games room, and if not, you can ask them to order him to demolish it. And if he has no right of way over the strip, you can fence it off and forbid him to use it, threatening to sue him for trespass otherwise.
The difficulty with any or all of these options however, is that they amount to a declaration of war. In my experience, although it is bizarre, certain people actually do prefer a state of war over peace. If he is that sort of sad person who has little else in his life, there is a fear that you will be adding fuel to his flames by taking any such action.
This problem therefore passes from the strictly legal sphere into a matter of personal judgment for you and your husband. Why not make enquiries about him from your other neighbours, and see if they can offer any advice on how he is best handled? Very often, as the proverb goes, you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Or at least, how about seeking urgently a face to face discussion with him, before declaring war on all fronts? As Churchill said: "Jaw jaw is better than war war".
The above is not formal legal advice and is given without liability. Jonathan Goldberg QC is a leading London barrister. Visit www.GoldbergQC.com

A Simple SEO Boost for Individual Blogger/Blogspot Posts & Pages
The Title of any page on Google's SERP (search engine results pages) is limited to 70 characters, but by default, any result for your Blogger page will come up with your Blog's title first, regardless of page or post. However, this is not ideal to get your individual pages ranked, as they might have a different keyword focus from one another.
This little tip will have the individual page/post's title supersede the site's title, allowing for better rankings for different keyword searches.
No need to worry about the technical details - It's a simple replacement of the<head> tag with a short bit of javascript:

Now the boot process has to deal with two Linux files instead of one: the Device Tree Binary file and the kernel image itself. It mainly involves changes for the U-Boot / barebox booting command. If you don't want to care about this new file, there is an Linux kernel option to append the Device Tree Binary at the end of the kernel image.

Oklahoma Mountain Threatened by Stone Mining
Jul 11th, 2013
From My1073fm:
Longhorn Mountain is located in the beautiful Wichita Mountains in Southwest Oklahoma. It is about to be destroyed by the rock company Stewart Stone. A representative from the rock company states they "will begin blasting by the end of this summer." We need to STOP them!
The Wichita Mountains are historically significant as they are one of the oldest mountain ranges in the United States.
An article titled "Oklahoma History and Culture" from the Oklahoma State Universities Historical Society tells of the significance these mountains have played in the history of our state.
Not only is this mountain part of the beautiful Wichita Mountains but it is also a sacred mountain to the Kiowa Tribe. They pray on this mountain and they harvest the cedar from this mountain for their sacred cedaring ceremonies. Joe Fish, a Kiowa tribal member, frequently climbs the mountain to pray. Fish told KFOR News, "This is only place in the world this cedar grows. It has it's own unique smell, and it's what God, he gave us this sacred mountain and sacred cedar, and we hold it dearly."
I have started a petiton that we will forward to Governor Fallin.
You can sign the petition here!
Stewart Stone can be contacted at (918) 225-2704
UPDATE 07/04/13 – Over 650 signatures have been added to the online petition. We have also attracted the attention of AIM (American Indian Movement) and they have promised to support our petition and forward the information to CNN The Situation Room. They stated it would be on President Obama's desk by the end of the week! Thank you for sharing this information. Please continue to request signatures from your friends and family. The residents of this area are talking a LOT about this right now!

Tesla IPO Launches Unexpectedly High at $17/Share, Company is Worth $1.33B USD

Tesla's upcoming Model S entry-level luxury EV
The Tesla Roadster
(Source: Drag Times)
IPO gives electric vehicle startup plenty of cash to work with
A vital chapter in Tesla Motors' history has now been written, with the company's first public stock offering. The epic success should help Tesla flourish in the short term and help its financially troubled founder, as well.
The stock release comes as the company prepares its entry-level Model S luxury sedan to bring electric vehicles to the masses. The compan also is working on plans for a
Cabriolet replacement
to its
, which is being phased out, an electric SUV/crossover, and an electric van.
Propelled by these ambitious plans the company's
entrance into the world of public trading
proved an emphatic success. The company raised over $226M USD from share purchases. Shares, which were expected to sell from between $14 and $16 sold for approximately $17. Additionally, where initially the company planned to release around 11.1 million shares, it was able to offer 13.3 million shares at this higher cost.
The initial public offering was the first for a U.S. automaker since Ford Motor Co. in 1956. That IPO was
significantly bigger
with 10.2 million shares sold, raising nearly $660 million (in 1956 dollars).
Still the Tesla Motors IPO was a tremendous success and should give the young company the money it needs to thrive. Tesla initially expected to get less than half of the sum it pulled in, initially seeking only $100M USD from stock purchases.
The IPO will also prove vital to Tesla Motors founder and CEO Elon Musk. Musk says he's
virtually out of money
. Musk, who invested $70M USD in Tesla, sold 909,212 shares raising $15.3M USD in much-needed cash.
His stake now drops from 36 percent to 28 percent after his sale. It should be noted that Tesla Motors as a whole only unloaded 17 percent of its shares to the public. That means that it is still primarily held by private owners -- the largest of which is Musk.
That also means that Tesla is now valued at roughly $1.33B USD, based on the price of publicly traded shares.
Stock has since risen to over
$21.50 a share
, earning those who purchased it initially, a healthy 25 percent gain. That price will likely drop somewhat on profit taking, but its certainly a promising sign for this new star.

RE: The bottom line on Tesla...
That was a stab directly at Tesla--not a truly accurate figure. ;)
But, when you think about it, consider the price range of their flagship car, which is around 109,000.00. That is squarely within the post-luxury semi-exotic range (assuming luxury autos run between 50k-75k), and the amount of people willing to shell out that kind of money for one of these things has diminished quite a bit. In some ways, they are more a novelty than a true primary car replacement.
When you consider that, the amount of people willing to purchase it drops even further. How many people do you see in America buying a 3rd car just for "fun?" Sure, they are out there, there are plenty of 3+ car garages around my house and neighborhood, but they are definitely not a true sampling of America. I happen to live in one of the wealthiest areas of the country, definitely in the top 10, and I have not seen a single Tesla yet.
Now, this is all conjecture and speculation, but, if you factor in these observations and thoughts, you can not assume that Tesla will ramp up nearly as fast as Ford did. Think about it for a minute--Ford created the Model T, a car for the masses, optimized through a production line and its cost was brought down substantially. It was not a car for the "wealthy," but a car for the everyman. Their target demographic was far broader than Tesla has limited themselves to.
Second, factor in all the competition Tesla will be facing from the other car manufacturers. Now, to be fair they are producing cars in a much lower price point, but, they detract from the novelty of owning a Tesla car. Sure, there will be those who scoff at the lower priced offerings and buy a Tesla to have an electric sports car, but, I'd argue that they are the same people that would have wanted to buy one anyways.
I don't think it is fair to say that you'd see explosive growth as a result. What Tesla needs in order to "break out," if this is truly a niche area they are going after with their flagship car--the sports enthusiast area, is some inspiration for their car beyond what it "does," such as some major race championships under their belt. If they can prove their mettle, which, when you consider the range, races are hard to even complete, you have a problem. A problem that I dare say Tesla still hasn't figured out how to overcome.
As a result, my halfhearted figure of 10% a quarter growth, doesn't look all to bad. They need a flame to ignite their brand. The IPO will get their name buzzing around, but, those who invest are also the sort who like to see numbers and results, the hype will only drive things for so long.
I compare Tesla to perhaps the potential of Google... without the numbers that Google had to back them up.

AbstractAn ensemble of classical subsystems interacting with surrounding particles has been considered. In general case, a phase volume of the subsystems ensemble was shown to be a function of time. The evolutional equations of the ensemble are obtained as well as the simplest solution of these equations representing the quasi-local distribution with the temperature pattern being assigned. Unlike the Gibbs's distribution, the energy of interaction with surrounding particles appears in the distribution function, which make possible both evolution in the equilibrium case and fluctuations in the non-equilibrium one. The expression for local entropy is obtained. The derivation of hydrodynamic equations from Boltzmann equation has been analyzed. The hydrodynamic equations obtained from Boltzmann equation were shown to be equations for ideal liquid. Reasons for stochastic description in deterministic Hamilton's systems, conditions of applicability of Poincare's recurrence theorem as well as the problem of irreversibility have been considered.

Gaia Holy Basil Lief is the magic I need to keep from letting every little thing stress me out. I have tried other brands and they do not work at all or hardly at all. I was told to try Gaia's brand and it was like magic.
Helps me sleep all night long
Reviewer3174484님께서 11 03, 2013 에 작성하셨습니다.
I have developed a great way to sleep all night long. I take 2 Holy Basil Capsules before bed and leave two more out on the counter to take around 2, 3, or 4 am. I have taken as many as four caps at a time but this approach seems to work better for me - not all at once. I do take these during the days if I notice that my hands are a little shaky or I feel 'too rushed'. My husband now follows the same protocol that I do and he likes it too.

This product seems to be very subtle in reducing acute anxiety, however it takes the edge off and does a reasonable job of reducing overall stress.

Blades of the Old Empire tells the story of a Majat, Kara, a special type of skilled mercenary. These men and women are bodyguards, errand runners, and hired killers. The story revolves around a few characters, most notably Prince Kyth, Majat Kara, and Ellah, a woman who can see the truth. It is the story of betrayal, of conquest, of rulership, and of love.
TL;DR Version: I really enjoyed this book despite not being a huge fan of romance-themed novels. I feel it is for those who want more romance in their fantasy while also getting a hefty dose of action, adventure, and intrigue. If you don't like a lot of romance in your Medieval-styled fantasy, you may want to steer clear.
Note: This novel contains several steamy scenes, so if you don't like sex in your Medieval fantasy, it's in there. It's not explicit, taking a more artistic and romantic/passionate route, but it's definitely present — several times, for that matter.
Before I begin on my thoughts about this book, I'd like to take a moment to discuss the blurb of this book. Truth be told, it set certain expectations for me. It set the expectation that the focal point was Kara, the Diamond-ranked Majat. In reality, the true focal point is of the actual POV character, Kyth.
So, if you're expecting a feminine perspective lead, you'll be in for a surprise. Ellah is a female perspective, however, which does add a nice balance and contrast to Kyth's point of view. Kara, as the description of the book implies, does play an extremely major role, but I found that the real heart and soul of this story wasn't specifically Kara.
Kara's important, but the linchpin is Kyth. It is Kyth's power that serves as a focal point, Kyth's special circumstances that create almost all of the conflict in the novel, and Kyth's love for Kara — and her love in return — that determines the fate of both of these characters. Ultimately, Kyth's love for Kara protects Kara, while Kara's love for Kyth protects him in return.
In turn, it is Ellah, and her feelings for a different character, that also make a huge impact on the way the story progresses.
The description of the book also failed to set the expectation that there is a lot of character romance in this novel — because this novel is more about the love of characters than it is about the elements described in the description.
In a way, it was the prevalence of so much romance that turned this from a 5* novel to a 4* novel for me. While I enjoy undertones of romance, I don't actively go seeking romance novels. This is personal preference.
In my opinion, Blades of the Old Empire is a romance novel in a fantasy novel's clothing. There are lots of fantasy elements in here, including magic, sword play, Kings, Princesses, Princes, and an extreme cult seeking to conquer all things. But, almost every major character decision and reaction is colored by romance. For those who enjoy that sort of thing, you're going to gobble this book down and feel really satisfied at the end of it. While I did really enjoy this book, the constant bombardment of love and lust got to be a bit old after a while. I wanted to see what the characters would do without these themes being a major part of their motivation.
The characters who avoided the trap of amour were those perceived to be the antagonists. And even then, some of them use faked love (and lust) as weapons against the main characters. Others had to take actions despite their love for the character they had to fight against.
While it echoes a lot of real life motivations, I found it drowned out the other things that give characters more depth.
Outside of this issue, the book is really well written, taking a more simplistic stance to allow the emotional elements and action to shine. I found I didn't get bogged down in too much description, and that the book was a fast, easy read. This definitely helped me to enjoy the novel. The plot was fairly simplistic, at least compared to some other fantasy novels I've read, but this didn't hurt the book that much. If I had to pick a flaw of this book, it would be in the predictable nature of the betrayals and the twists in the plot.
Still, it was a good book, and well worth the read. I'll be reading this one again, even accounting for the subjects that don't really fit my tastes.

Korean hip hop music matters to Singapore
23 May 2012, Singapore – Korean artistes Tiger JK, Yoon Mirae, M.I.B, Bizzy, Rhythmking, J'Kyun, DJ Clazzi and BTOB were in Singapore for Music Matters Live 2012. KAvenyou was present at the media roundtable interview with the artistes, where we got to learn more about these artistes as they shared their thoughts on Singapore and their music.
Rhythmking is an urban soul band made up of Bumkey, Rhythmking, Park Soonchul, Lee Heechul and Hwan Lee. The band's lead singer Bumkey, is famous for collaborations with artistes like Epik High, Dynamic Duo, Dok2 and Supreme Team.
Q: Since it's the first time for most of you to perform in Singapore, what is your first impression of Singapore and what do you feel about the local fans?
Rhythmking: This is our first time here, and we love the sea and the weather here. It's like California but its a little more humid here. I want to get some chilli crabs.
Q: Are you a little anxious for your performance tomorrow?
Rhythmking: Yeah, of course but we're very excited. My band members and I are very excited about the performance tomorrow.
Q: Do you have any big surprise prepared? What kind of music, what kind of songs are you going to sing?
Rhythmking: Well actually, we made 5 songs just for Music Matters, its all brand new songs that you've never heard before anywhere, and so it's exclusive.
Q: As an artiste, are there any individuals or groups that you look up to as a role model?
Rhythmking: Yeah, like Musiq Soulchild and Daft Punk.
J'Kyun is a rapper whose nickname in Korea is the hip hop prince, and is also known for his Hot MC track featuring Block B's Zico, as well as making a parody of Big Bang's Fantastic Baby dedicated to SNSD's Sunny.
Q: Are you excited with this being your first time in Singapore?
J'Kyun: Yeah and it's hot.
Q: What have you prepared for us tomorrow?
J'Kyun: I have prepared 5 songs. I am going to show you my skills tomorrow with my 5 songs and I guess this is a diverse taste for everyone. And actually in Korea, I am known as the hip hop prince (힙합왕자)
DJ Clazzi
DJ Clazzi is an electronica musician, better known as a member from his experimental band Clazziquai Project. He has also collaborated with many K-Pop singers, such as 2AM's Seulong and Sunny Hill just to name a couple.
Q: Are you here alone?
Clazzi: I am here alone, but I will perform with other members as well as other artistes.
Q: What type of performance are you putting up for us tomorrow?
Clazzi: I have a DJ show prepared for all of you, so I think the music will be more electronic and not solely on hip hop, so you can look forward to that tomorrow. I will be performing with other artistes, like Yi Sung Yol, Jinsil and MYK.
Q: Since you are a DJ, are you planning to visit any clubs in Singapore?
Clazzi: I am not a clubber, so I don't go to clubs but I actually work there. So instead I am going to chill with my friends in the hotel room.
Q: What is your music style like?
Clazzi: I don't have a main genre, so it is hard for me to explain the genre of my music. I am going to try new styles and hopefully it is more fun for fans to listen to.
Q: As a deejay, do you dig music styles like those of Far East Movement?
Clazzi: I want to go deeper in electronic as well, but on the other side I also want to try some soft music for the listeners, so I am trying new things and preparing for my next project as well. I enjoy music from Far East Movement and I'm also very proud as an Asian to have people like Far East Movement being very successful in America and around the world.
Q: Coming from one of the most unique label with a large group of talented and creative artistes, who in the label would you consider as a competitor and why?
Clazzi: Yi Sung Yol, he's not really my rival but someone whom I look up to and is very inspiring for me.
BTOB, who just made their debut in Korea recently, with members consisting of Eunkwang, Minhyuk, Changsub, Hyunsik, Peniel, Ilhoon and Sungjae, are here in Singapore for their first ever overseas performance.
Q: It is your first time in Singapore too right? How was it?
BTOB: We are very impressed and yesterday we had fans at the airport, so we were very surprised. We also spent some time swimming and visiting boat cruise, and we also had some chilli crab, so we had a fun day yesterday.
Q: What other names have you all thought of before coming up with the name BTOB?
BTOB: BTOB stands for Born To Beat. We also played with the word 'beat' as it can mean the beat of the music and also beating, meaning that they're being very competitive and going up. Asian Team/Kings, Sonics and Arirang were considered as their group name before.
Q: For tomorrow, what style of music will you all perform?
BTOB: There are different songs prepared for all of the fans tomorrow, from fast ones to slow ones.
BTOB introduced themselves in English, Chinese and Japanese at the press conference as well, showcasing their multi-linguistic side.
Q: BTOB just released a track called "Insane", but the Korean title for it is actually "Secret". What is the reason for the difference, and what are the reasons that make BTOB go crazy?
BTOB: Basically the lyrics are about a girl who he (BTOB) is in love with, starts making up secrets, and there is a line that says "you make me go insane", which they use it as the title for the song abroad. Music and Singapore makes us go crazy!
Q: Other than the seniors at the parent company, are there any artistes you like to work with?
BTOB: We worked with other seniors of the agency like Beast, 4Minute and G.NA on a track called Fly So High, so we are very thankful. We like hip hop and R&B, so we would like to collaborate with those artistes seated in front of us (Tiger JK, Yoon Mirae, J'Kyun, Bizzy, M.I.B, DJ Clazzi).
Tiger JK and Yoon Mirae
The godfather of Korean hip hop music, Tiger JK and his wife, Yoon Mirae (Tasha) are also here in Singapore finally to perform for their fans.
Q: It's your first time here in Singapore as well. What will you be doing for your performance tomorrow?
Tiger JK: I'm very happy and very honoured to be here, and I have a lot of pressure on my shoulders. It's my first concert here in Singapore, and I hope to leave with great souvenirs from the whole team present here today.
Q: It's been 3 years since your last album, and Yoon Mirae will be making her debut in the US. So when are you going to join her breaking into the US market and what are your plans right now?
Tiger JK: I think Tasha (Yoon Mirae) is the one who really deserves this thing as she is very talented as she can sing, can rap, she's unique and she's one of a kind.
Q: How supportive is he (Tiger JK) of you?
Yoon Mirae: He is actually very, very, very supportive of me. I think he figures that at least if one of us starts well, it will enter his pockets too, so he is very supportive of me.
Q: What did you eat? Chill crab?
Tiger JK: All my followers told me not to say that. They told me to add lah and lor and those kinds of things, so anyway, I haven't ate chilli crab yet lah!
Q: You mentioned that Yoon Mirae is stepping into America with Far East Movement, so how does she feel about it and about you not joining her?
Yoon Mirae (mic passed from Tiger JK): Technically, I guess you could say it's a debut, but I got real lucky we met at California and it was for MNET music awards show. We met at an afterparty and things just kind of kicked off. They asked if I don't mind working on their remix so I guess this is technically a debut but it's not really like a solo album or a single, but it will be on their remix album and we're still working out on the details, but I'm really excited and honoured and humbled by it, hopefully some good work will come out of it. (JK Tiger joked that they are working on the song Live Your Life that also featured Justin Bieber).
Q: Are they (Far East Movement) going to be featured on your album as well?
Yoon Mirae: Yes, we haven't recorded it yet but I have already recorded my part. They will either be featured in one of my songs or JK's song. (JK: I'm going to record Live My Life featuring Justin Bieber!)
Q: Having grown up in the US, what is the main difference between US and Korea's hip hop scenes? And did you manage to combine both cultures to create your style?
Tiger JK: Everyone there (in US) was freestyle, and celebrity sighting was easy (like Wu-Tang Clan). We had to battle and get out there and in a moment, they wanted to outcast. Hip hop was very alive and we took it more seriously. Back in Korea I was rebellious and I was trying to express myself truthfully and telling stories that originality is very important in hip hop or you'll get no respect, and I was a little angry. Then I knew that I just can't be rah-rah and this and that as nobody will be willing to open up to you, so I combined both cultures and kind of became a spokesman in a way.
Q: I think you really paved the way for many hip hop artistes in Korea, you're one of the very first successful hip hop artistes having both cultures. Who are you inspired by today in terms of artistes outside of Korea and maybe from Korea as well?
Tiger JK: Nowadays this craze is really big and I think US hip hop is more mainstream than Korean hip hop. J'Kyun, Bizzy and people from my label are pretty quiet but they're just great. Dynamic Duo, also are a few to name. I'm definitely inspired by Bob Marley ever since my college days. (starts ramble about how inspiring he is)
Q: So you completed a rather successful collaborative project with The Creators Project last year, so how does that pre-empt your appearance at Music Matters as well as the events that specially designated hip hop showcases?
Yoon Mirae: The Creators Project actually had a lot to do with JK who put all of that together. I felt really honoured and blessed to have the opportunity to work with him. To be honest, I didn't really know that much about them until JK gave me the opportunity to work with them, but I found out that they are responsible for giving a lot of artistes a lot of airplay or promotion to not just the country they are at but around the world, without expecting anything in return because they just love music. So I felt really honoured to be a part of something so big, especially with music, I think that is universal, whether you speak English or Korean or Japanese, it's what people feel about it, and that's the same kind of mindset I came with for tomorrow's show. I really don't know that much about Music Matters, but I hope that you guys support it and feel it and know that there are different types of genre. K-pop is a big sensation right now but it's not just a certain type of music, like we have electronic, we have hip hop, we have rock, we have everything, so I hope this will be an opportunity to showcase that and let people know that we have really, really good artistes in Korea.
Bizzy, a solo rap artist also from the same company as Yoon Mirae, Tiger JK and M.I.B, lived many years in New Zealand before returning to Korea to work on his first album. He has performed with Tiger JK since 2004.
Regarding the upcoming collaboration between Tiger JK, Yoon Mirae and Bizzy, JK quipped, "Look out, Will.I.Am!" The track will be released in June worldwide.
It's also Bizzy's first time in Singapore, and he will be having interaction with the crowd as well. Bizzy, also from Jungle Entertainment, has learnt a lot from his seniors. Yoon Mirae added on that he is a humble emcee who does not know how to promote himself well. Bizzy's upcoming single titled, Angel, is going to be released soon and it will most likely feature Yoon Mirae and Tiger JK.
For M.I.B (Most Incredible Busters), a hip hop idol group consisting of 5zic, Cream, Kangnam and SIMS, whose notable point is producing and writing their own music, it is also their first time in Singapore and they are happy to be here, and they agreed that Singapore is a little more clean than Korea.
Q: So having given a headstart being in Jungle Entertainment with Tiger JK and Tasha as your mentors, so how is your relationship like with them and what is one thing you have learnt from them that has influenced you the most in your life and your lyrics?
M.I.B: We are very honoured to be able to work with legendary artistes like Tasha and JK, but we're also a little pressured at times, but they're also very open-minded, so they don't give us orders.
Q: How did you all come out with the name and having debuted last year, what things make you all stand out from the other bands in Korea?
M.I.B: We're focusing more on the lyrics and messages in the songs rather than the dance moves, so we are not going to appeal to you by jumping around and dancing on stage so much. (Tasha: They write their own lyrics; Tiger JK: I think their name is plain stupid!)
The press conference then came to an end amidst all the laughters from the artistes with a mass phototaking session. We would like to thank Branded.Asia, Fulford PR, KOCCA, Jungle Entertainment, Cube Entertainment, Fluxus Music, Room 24 Entertainment and Romantic Factory for the opportunity to attend this interview session. Stay tuned to our next article for the coverage of Music Matters Live 2012 concert!

A Montgomery County man who was spotted near West Point after allegedly robbing the Trustco bank in Slingerlands at gunpoint last week was captured Wednesday in South Carolina, Bethlehem police said.
Victor Shear, 45, of Canajoharie, was arrested in North Myrtle Beach. He will be charged with first-degree robbery and fourth-degree grand larceny, police said.
Police say he robbed the bank Aug. 21 while dressed like a construction worker. He flashed a gun, demanded money, took cash and ran, police said.
On Friday, Shear abandoned a car he'd been driving near Wildwood Ridge Road in the Town of Highlands, police said. State police conducted a manhunt Friday near James I. O'Neill High School and West Point, without success.
Police are looking into whether Shear may have robbed a Sharon Springs bank in January. That suspect was also dressed as a construction worker.
A friend of Shear's, Anthony Zumbolo, 40, of Amsterdam, was charged Monday with hindering prosecution for tipping off Shear with a text, saying police were on their way to his house. Zumbolo is being held in Albany County Jail, pending a bail hearing on Thursday.

Finance Glossary
Just call us Bond. Amortized bond.
Over 700 finance terms, Shmooped to perfection.
Fully Registered Bonds
There was a time (not from Les Mis) when bonds traded almost like cash. You could go to a bank window and buy a bond with cash and the teller gave you the bond and a book of coupons, which you clipped and mailed snail-mail in to the corporation who then sent you a check, which represented the interest payment for that period. And then things changed. Bad dudes like Al Qaeda started to take advantage of this anonymity.
Today, bonds are sold "registered". That is, the U.S. Government wants to know who is buying them. It makes recordkeeping a lot more burdensome, but now if you buy any security in the U.S., there will be a paper trail and we can track who bought it and when. Yes, we're watching you. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Supporting Americans with Disabilities
March 10, 2010 Leave a comment
We applaud the Obama White House for its continuing support of individuals with disabilities. Through the stimulus act, the administration committed additional funds to autism research, on top of the existing National Institutes of Health funding and Combating Autism Act funding.
Kareem Dale, Special Assistant to the President for Disability Policy, blogged yesterday about another move the administration made to support those with disabilities. Read more here in his White House blog. We applaud all their efforts to move the disability agenda ahead and we look forward to seeing what's around the next corner for autism.

Studies show that students who attend school regularly do better academically.
"More time in class equals more learning," said Eric Andrew, superintendent of the Campbell Union School District.
That's why the administration is focusing on reducing chronic absenteeism, particularly among its youngest students, as a way to increase student achievement in the district.
The new program comes as state officials express increasing concern about the growing crisis surrounding truancy. A report released at an anti-truancy symposium in Los Angeles last month showed that factoring the costs of incarceration and lost economic productivity and tax revenues, dropouts cost California an estimated $46.4 billion per year, according to a Sept. 30 article published by the Associated Press.
Andrew said although the district has a high attendance rate as a whole, lower-grade students, particularly kindergartners, miss class more often than they should.
Attendance isn't mandatory for kindergarten students--but that will likely change as a result of the state requiring schools to add transitional kindergarten, Andrew said. Transitional kindergarten is the first year of a two-year program that uses modified kindergarten curriculum added as a result of the Kindergarten Readiness Act of 2010.
This year, the district is targeting the families of younger students in order to spread the word about the importance of attendance. Letters were sent to parents urging them to schedule family vacations in such a way that students could make it back in time for their first day of school.
More letters will be sent out around the holidays and at the end of school to remind parents of the importance of getting students back to school on time, said Jim Crawford, deputy superintendent.
The district began striving to increase attendance rates about four years ago, and the attendance rate has been slowly increasing ever since, Crawford said. The district initially implemented a piece of software that automatically generates letters to families when students miss a certain number of days and helps school officials set up meetings with those families.
"That was a really successful program," Crawford said.
Four or five schools in the district are participating in Sharp Schools Attendance Program, a system that rewards young students for good attendance with animal cards.
Habitual truancy is a more difficult challenge, Crawford said. There is one district employee whose sole job is going to the homes of habitually truant students and speaking with their families.
The district's goal four or five years ago was to bring the attendance rate up to 96 percent. Today, the district has a 97 percent attendance rate and is shooting for a 97.5 or 98 percent.
"Not many districts get up to 98 percent, but that's our goal," Crawford said.
Andrew said the school system's attendance rate is "remarkable.
"Trying to get 7,000 students to school a regular basis and having [a more than] 90 percent attendance rate is pretty spectacular," he said.
Attending school full time leads to better test scores and "starts students off in a good pattern in the early years," Crawford said.
According to the Associated Press article, studies indicate that chronically truant students are more likely to drop out of high school and to end up jobless or turn to crime.
High attendance rates are financially beneficial to the district as well. When the district increased its attendance rate from 96 percent to 97 percent, the district gained about $400,000 in state funding, Crawford said.
"Everybody wins out of this," he said.
