"JC Fridays" has doubled in size from its start three years ago and is held quarterly at the change of every season - every September, December, March, and June.
This "Friday" includes over three dozen free events and performances to choose from.
Downtown and beyond
Now at its third anniversary in June, "JC Fridays" has become a much anticipated local seasonal event.
The event continues to grow and has spread to areas outside of the downtown area with the help of two new sponsors - the state of New Jersey Urban Enterprise Zone program and the Jersey City Department of Housing, Economic Development, and Commerce.
Christine Goodman, director/founder of Art House Productions, was rewarded last year for her effort in building the arts scene with a proclamation from Mayor Healy.
"It is absolutely thrilling to be at the third anniversary and to see how much it has grown," said Goodman. "June 6 will be the largest event to date. It is reaching out into new neighborhoods with the most diverse lineup of programs yet."
At the last "Friday" on March 7, about 2,000 people came to the event, with the next scheduled for Friday, Sept. 5.
"All the venues had a great turn out even in pouring down rain," said Goodman about the spring event. "The businesses and the public are really embracing the work and the artists are showing their work to even more people than ever before."
Citywide events all day
On Friday, the activities start at 9 a.m. and run past midnight. Maps will be available at event locations and visitors are encouraged to design their own tour of galleries, restaurants, and businesses.
"There is a nice selection of new businesses, artists and organizations that caught the buzz about 'JC Fridays' and want to get involved," said Goodman, who said that many of the events are clustered together so people can take in many different activities in one area.
"There is some really neat stuff happening," she said.
The events are ongoing so people can enjoy a variety of things including music during lunch hour, late night activities for adults, and family friendly events, she said.
In addition to the many venues showing visual art, visitors can take in live music, comedy, dramatic readings and dance. Kids of all ages can enjoy face painting, a pantomime demo or even a create-a-new-flavor of ice cream contest.
Many of the events take place at local bars, cafes, and restaurants allowing guests to indulge all their senses.
But those are just a few of the highlights, there is much more to see at the citywide event. For complete list of times and events, see sidebar. In addition, there is information on venues that have handicap access. Visit: www.jcfridays.com for details.
"If people are interested about finding out more about JC Fridays or artists that are looking for venues, we'd love to have you," said Goodman.
Interested parties can e-mail Christine at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The sponsors
The free events presented throughout the city were made possible by support from the following: Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy, The Jersey City Municipal Council and Division of Cultural Affairs, The Jersey City Reporter, Jersey City Magazine, Historic Downtown SID, The Jersey City Museum, Hudson County Office of Cultural & Heritage Affairs, the state of New Jersey Urban Enterprise Zone Program, the Jersey City Department of Housing, Economic Development, and Commerce.
This program was made possible in part by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts, which was administered by the Hudson County Office of Cultural & Heritage Affairs, Thomas A. DeGise, and the Hudson County Board of Chosen Freeholders. Local business supporters include: 32 Jones Gallery, BaGua Juice, Balance Salon, Bar Majestic, D.E.E.N., Hudson County Art Supply, LITM, NEW, and World of Style Vintage.
Friends include: Another Man's Treasure, Fish With Braids Gallery, Hala Vintage, JC Tattoo Co., Sam Pesin in honor of Liberty State Park, and Torico's Ice Cream Parlor.
"All the new sponsors have been instrumental in helping the program to grow," said Goodman. "It is so encouraging to see businesses in Jersey City that support the artists as a vital part of our lives."

CHARLOTTE, NC -- Most convention events don't involve Wisconsin delegates swinging hammers and painting walls, but this isn't your average convention event.
Democratic delegates — including those from Wisconsin — on Monday participated in the Craftsman House United project to build a home for a military veteran.
Half the home was built last week by delegates at the Republican National Convention in Tampa. The home was transported to Charlotte, where Democrats finished up the work.
The project was a collaboration between Heroes at Home, Rebuilding Together, Craftsman and NextGen Home, and was led by Ty Pennington, of "Extreme Home Makeover" fame.

3rd Workshop on Fault-Tolerance for HPC at Extreme Scale (FTXS 2013) |
The 3rd Workshop on Fault-Tolerance for HPC at Extreme Scale (FTXS 2013) will be held in conjunction with the The 22nd International ACM Symposium on High Performance Parallel and Distributed Computing (HPDC'13) in New York City, New York (USA) on June 18th, 2013.
FTXS is a workshop aimed at identifying looming problems and discussing promising research solutions in the area of High Performance Computing (HPC). In particular, extreme-scale "leadership class" supercomputers fall into this broad category.
For the HPC community, a new scaling in numbers of processing elements has superseded the historical trend of Moore's Law scaling in processor frequencies. This progression from single core to multi-core and many-core will be further complicated by the community's immanent migration from traditional homogeneous architectures to ones that are heterogeneous in nature. As a consequence of these trends, the HPC community is facing rapid increases in the number, variety, and complexity of components, and must thus overcome increases in aggregate fault rates, fault diversity, and complexity of isolating root cause.
Recent analyses demonstrate that HPC systems experience simultaneous (often correlated) failures. In addition, statistical analyses suggest that silent soft errors can not be ignored anymore, because the increase of components, memory size and data paths (including networks) make the probability of silent data corruption (SDC) non-negligible. The HPC community has serious concerns regarding this issue and application users are less confident that they can rely on a "correct" answer to their computations. Other studies have indicated a growing divergence between failure rates experienced by applications and rates seen by the system hardware and software. At Exascale, some scenarios project failure rates reaching one failure per hour. This conflicts with the current checkpointing approach to fault tolerance that requires up to 30 minutes to restart a parallel execution on the largest systems. Lastly, stabilization periods for the largest systems are already significant, and the possibility that these could increase in length is of great concern. During the "Approaching Exascale" report at SC11, DOE program managers identified resilience as a black swan - the most difficult under-addressed issue facing HPC.
Open Questions
What does the fault-tolerance community need to do in order to be prepared to face the challenges of extreme scale computing? What is needed to keep applications with billions of threads of parallelism up and running on systems that fail tens of times per day? As models predict less than 50% efficiency of traditional checkpoint/restart methods on future systems, are we ready to pay the cost of full redundancy, effectively performing redundant multi-threading (RMT) across entire systems? Do we even have the infrastructure necessary to implement an RMT strategy?
How is the supercomputing community going to efficiently isolate failures on enormously complex systems? Is there any chance to understand these systems in such a way that some failure could be predicted with enough accuracy and anticipation to trigger useful failure avoidance actions? What can the community do to protect applications from SDC in memory and logic? How far the user and the programmer should be involved in managing faults? What are the most p romising self-‐healing numerical methods?
The goals of FTXS 2013 are to consider these complex questions, to discuss the unique limitations that extreme scale and complexity impose on traditional methods of fault-tolerance, and to explore new strategies for dealing with those challenges.

Assuming hardware and software errors will be inescapable at extreme scale, this workshop will consider aspects of fault tolerance particular to extreme scale that include, but are not limited to:
- Quantitative assessments of cost in terms of power, performance, and resource impacts of fault-tolerant techniques, such as checkpoint restart, that are redundant in space, time or information
- Novel fault-tolerance techniques and implementations of emerging hardware and software technologies that guard against silent data corruption (SDC) in memory, logic, and storage and provide end-to-end data integrity for running applications
- Studies of hardware / software tradeoffs in error detection, failure prediction, error preemption, and recovery
- Advances in monitoring, analysis, and control of highly complex systems
- Highly scalable fault-tolerant programming models
- Metrics and standards for measuring, improving and enforcing the need for and effectiveness of fault-tolerance
- Failure modeling and scalable methods of reliability, availability, performability and failure prediction for fault-tolerant HPC systems
- Scalable Byzantine fault tolerance and security from single-fault and fail-silent violations
- Benchmarks and experimental environments, including fault-injection and accelerated lifetime testing, for evaluating performance of resilience techniques under stress

Part of strengthening rural Minnesota is helping assure rural perspectives are well represented in public discourse. Blandin Foundation, with partners, convenes and participates in public policy conversations on issues most important to the health of rural Minnesota communities.
Broadband has revolutionized business, government, education, work and lifestyles. Without robust broadband access and fully technologically literate populations, rural communities will be unable to take advantage of the extraordinary benefits that ultra high-speed, next-generation Internet can provide.
Since 2003, the Blandin Community Broadband Program has engaged at local, state and federal levels to ignite and sustain policies that support rural access to robust broadband. Guiding this work is a strategy board of public and private leaders to guide the initiative, and a vision. Visit http://broadband.blandinfoundation.org for extensive details and for related community engagement work.
Early Childhood Development
Investment in the earliest years of a child's development, from birth to five years, is a key determinant in their future success--and in developing healthy communities, now and years from now. Blandin Foundation engages in broad public policy initiatives, such as MinneMinds, to advance success of every young child, especially before age five.
Government Services Redesign
Blandin Foundation participates in the Beyond the Bottom Line Initiative, which works to redesign government services to focus on outcomes for Minnesotans.
Redesign is the transformational change of how public services are delivered to focus on achieving greater outcomes for the public dollar, rather than paying for process. From education, to health care and human services, to transportation and more, the initiative works to build awareness of redesign's important role in preserving public services in the face of Minnesota's structural deficit.
Blandin Foundation brings insights on rural broadband adoption to Congressional hearing.

Hardwell re-amps Rihanna's track "Where Have You Been". And yes you read that right, "Where Have You Been", not "We Found Love" ha. Hardwell adds to the already up-beat track by creating heavier drops and more thrilling build ups. The end result is similar to the original tune, but is still definitely worth the listen.

The 40% Solution - What is the church up against?
The 40% Solution - What is the church up against?
The church is up against "declines," as symptoms of a much larger challenge that the church is facing. In the mid 1990's it was predicted that by 2020 40% of mainline churches would be forced to close or would no longer be functioning as viable congregations. This group will host ongoing discussions around the realities of how congregations are facing and dealing with the guilt and frustration of leading communities that face the "declines" of average weekly worship attendance, shrinking resources and contributing base, the ever shrinking number of young families and young adults, aging of the congregation, and recycling leaders. This conversation will explore how the Holy Spirit is already working within and beyond our church walls and how congregations and emerging faith communities can collaborate in this work. Specifically, how can we be part of the SOLUTION.
Here are 7 points of discussion:
- The church is no longer needed in the same way—spiritual, social, moral or educational. People have turned to other sources to have spiritual needs met. Community is found beyond the potlucks and fellowship events of those cultural churches of the past. People have a choice to take the time to participate in the church activities or not.
- In most of our pews, the folks are aging fast. Many mainline faith communities missed or lost the entire boomer generation. Most GenXers and Mosaics view Christianity as nonessential or, in the extreme, as an immoral religion which justifies condemnation, exclusion and self-righteousness. Membership losses in these denominations continue at a frightening pace. Almost 200,000 baptized members leave the ELCA each year.
- Churches are financially surviving on "retirement" income. Many communities are using up foundation and endowment resources for operational expenses. The major source of revenue is not from working families, but from retirees. If the top five givers were to leave or die the congregation, how many new families would it take to make up that difference? Various figures range from five to ten people for each top giver.
- Church is just one more activity competing for time, resources and emphasis along with everything else. On Sunday, church programs and ministries are in competition with soccer, hockey, recreation, and employment. Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings—traditional church "sacred" times—are now open times.
- Christians have lost credibility with many young people for not addressing the moral and systemic concerns that they are passionate about. Churches refuse to talk about these controversial issues—use of military force as first option, inadequate health care coverage, protection of individual and privacy rights. Churches act in ways that demonstrate that it is safer to not upset the current aging membership than to be an effective moral voice in our communities.
- Most denomination strategies for evangelism and church growth have been unsuccessful. New programs, models and purposes have not made much of a dent in the overall numbers of believers connected to faith communities. What has worked elsewhere will most likely ineffective without similar style, commitment and energy of the leadership.
- The church battles of the 70s and 80s—worship, sexuality, abortion, civil religion--continue to be fought and lost. Folks have had enough and find other options.
We could spend a lot of time taking apart any one of these bullet points, but as this group moves forward, we'd like you to look at the whole conversation and what's being put forth, as a whole. The Holy Spirit is already doing the work, we just have to catch up. What is the Holy Spirit stirring up, unfolding, and challenging us to do and be for the sake of the gospel?

"Yes, I do wish to go back there", "Our time is not yet" & "Is this how we enter the dream?"
by James Midgley
[ poetry - october 08 ]
"Yes, I do wish to go back there"
Yes, I do
wish to go back there -
the south bedroom of that rickety halfway house,
the tall window and the hill beyond
laced with purple digitalis.
There is an elegance in uncertainty;
when I circled the house the land was barren,
only a twisted tree shedding its shadow
which turned endlessly in the sun,
and never chose a path.
And the figures that walked past the window -
men in cricket whites, women in sky-blue bonnets,
and once a dog that laid its forepaws
on the glass and yapped, then ran,
giddy at a chance taken into the guessed-at.
Yes, I do wish to go back there -
the dusty wooden walls, the way night
kept its distance. There were only mornings
rousing slowly to blown flowers and summer light.
Yes I do wish it. But I made that decision then
to step out into the dark, under the ebb of stars -
to no longer continue alone.
"Our time is not yet"
Our time is
not yet. Though snowdrops
crawl from the dark dew
and quiver soundlessly in the wind,
this is not a world to return to.
Let us dole out hours like perennials,
peering from the dirt so keen
for the sun that our faces take its shape.
But I misspeak: we must not articulate
the celestial, but reckon the manner of clay,
the claggy marshes where what we drag
with each suctioned step
is a new vowel uttered in winter's tongue.
Nor should we scratch our words in black
for fear of gloom-shouldered crows
hunkering where the trees are torn
precisely into silvered air. We will carry
scads of nihil in our pockets, in our hearts.
Whatever comes from nothing
merely has further to go.
"Is this how we enter the dream?"
Is this how
we enter the dream? Something
to measure how long we can dive
before coming up for air - the clock is useless,
pale-faced and fearful. But listen:
in the corridor the dog is tapping a banister
with his hardwood tail. He slathers and chomps
because we do not feed him, or remember
that we split this house with beasts.
The dog is always dead and starving, knocking
at anything that does not resemble a door;
we pound and shout but do not wish
for revelation. So we swallow the stone of silence
like diving-birds, loving gravity's umbilical tug,
and find a stranger beating at the wall,
before turning into something of ourselves -
a bowl of apples slowly rotting; a window
on the landing, framing stars; this doubtful barrier
which now reveals its latch, and opens.

I'm the co-founder for a 2 year old startup that is currently bootstrapping and solidly profitable (300k+ revenue this year).
When we hired our 3rd and 4th employees (COO and CTO respectively), we already had
- Paying Users
- Net Profit
- Money invested into the company
- 12 months of sweat equity
CTO Hire:
4 months ago we told our CTO we would be willing to offer 12 - 18% equity vesting over several years for that kind of position but have not finalized it in writing. I'll admit that conversation wasn't well-researched. His contributions are a major boon to our continued success, but I think that figure is really high.
I feel that 8 - 10% would still be a great deal for him. Is the second offer fair and what comparisons could I use to strengthen my case?

Every year, the Better Business Bureau investigates thousands of scams from the latest gimmicks to the oldest schemes in the books. Now, there's a new tool to track down scams.
The new Scam Source is a comprehensive resource on scam investigations from BBBs around the country, with tips from BBB, law enforcement and others. You can sign up to receive the Scam Alerts by email, and you can be a scam detective yourself by reporting scams you've discovered by clicking here or writing to email@example.com.
The BBB has divided scams up into major categories and picked the top scam within each, plus the Scam of the Year.
Top Job Scam
BBB sees lots of secret shopper schemes, work-from-home scams, and other phony job offers, but the worst job-related scam can dash your hopes and steal your identity. Emails, websites and online applications all look very professional. The candidate might be asked to log in through their social media site which gives them access to your personal life and information. You may be interviewed for the job (usually over the phone) and then receive an offer. In order to start the job, however, the candidate has to fill out a "credit report" or provide bank information for direct deposit of their "paychecks." The online forms are nothing more than a way to capture your sensitive personal data - Social Security number, bank accounts, etc. - that can easily be used for identity theft. And, of course, there is no job, either.
Top Sweepstakes and Lottery Scam
Sweepstakes and lottery scams come in all shapes and sizes, but the bottom line is almost always this: You've won a whole lot of money, and in order to claim it you have to send us a smaller amount of money. Oh, and keep this confidential until we're ready to announce your big winnings. This year's top sweepstakes scam was undoubtedly the email claiming to be from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg announcing that the recipient was the winner of $1 million from the popular social networking site. These kinds of scams often use celebrities or other famous names to make their offer seem more genuine. If you aren't sure, don't click on the link but instead go directly to the homepage of the company mentioned. If they are really giving away $1 million, there's sure to be some kind of announcement clearly visible on their website.
Top Social Media/Online Dating Scam
On the Internet, it's easy to pretend to be someone you're not. Are you really friends with all of your "Friends" on Facebook? Do you have a lot of personal information on a dating site? With so much information about us online, a scammer can sound like they know you. There are tons of ways to use social media for scams, but one this year really stands out because the messages appealed to our natural curiosity…and sounded like it's coming from a friend. Viral videos claiming to show everything from grisly footage of Osama bin Laden's death to the latest celebrity hijinks have shown up on social media sites, often looking as if they have been shared by a friend. When you click on the link, you are prompted to "upgrade your Flash player," but the file you end up downloading contains a worm that logs into your social media account, sends similar messages to your friends, and searches for your personal data. The next time you see a sensational headline for the latest viral video, resist the urge to peek.
Top Home Improvement Scam
Always near the top of BBB complaints are home improvement contractors who leave your home worse than they found it. They knock on your door with a story or a deal - the roofer who can spot some missing shingles on your roof, the paver with some leftover asphalt who can give you a great deal on driveway resealing. Itinerant contractors move around, keeping a step ahead of the law …and angry consumers. The worst are those who move in after a natural disaster, taking advantage of desperate homeowners who need immediate help and may not be as suspicious as they would be under normal circumstances. A large percentage of BBB's Accredited Businesses are home contractors who want to make sure you know they are legitimate, trustworthy and dependable. Find one at bbb.org/search.
Top Check Cashing Scam
Two legitimate companies - Craig's List and Western Union - are used for an inordinate amount of scamming these days, and especially check cashing scams. Here's how it works: Someone contacts you via a Craig's List posting, maybe for a legitimate reason like buying your old couch or perhaps through a scam like hiring you as a secret shopper. Either way, they send you a check for more than the amount they owe you, and they ask you to deposit it into your bank account and then send them the difference via Western Union. A deposited check takes a couple of days to clear, whereas wired money is gone instantly. When the original check bounces, you are out whatever money you wired…and you're still stuck with the old couch.
Top Phishing Scam
"Phishing" is when you receive a suspicious phone call digging for bank accounts or an email asking for personal information that puts a virus on your computer to hunt for your data. It's almost impossible to avoid them if you have a telephone or an email account. But the most insidious phishing scam this year disguised itself as official communication from NACHA - the National Automated Clearing House Association - which facilitates the secure transfer of billions of electronic transactions every year. The email claims one of your transactions did not go through, and it hopes you react quickly and click on the link before thinking it through. It may take you to a fake banking site to "verify" your account information, or it may download malware to infiltrate your computer. Don't fall for bait!
Top Identity Theft Scam
There are a million ways to steal someone's identity. This one has gotten so prevalent that many hotels are posting warnings in their lobby. Here's how it works: You get a call in your hotel room in the middle of the night. It's the front desk clerk, very apologetic, saying their computer has crashed and they need to get your credit card number again, or they must have gotten the number wrong because the transaction won't go through, and could you please read the number back so they can fix the problem? Scammers are counting on you being too sleepy to catch on that the call isn't from the hotel at all, but from someone outside who knows the direct-dial numbers for the guest rooms. By the time morning rolls around, you're clear-headed but your credit card has been on a major shopping spree.
Top Financial Scam
In challenging economic times, many people are looking for help getting out of debt or hanging on to their home, and almost as many scammers appear to take advantage of desperate situations. Because the federal government announced or expanded several mortgage relief programs this year, all kinds of sound-alike websites have popped up to try to fool consumers into parting with their money. Some sound like a government agency, or even part of BBB or other nonprofit consumer organization. Most ask for an upfront fee to help you deal with your mortgage company or the government (services you could easily do yourself for free), and almost all leave you in more debt than when you started.
Top Sales Scam
Sales scams are as old as humanity, but the Internet has introduced a whole new way to rip people off. Penny auctions are very popular because it seems like you can get something useful - cameras, computers, etc. - for way below retail. But you pay a small fee for each bid (usually 50₵ to $1.00) and if you aren't the winner, you lose that bid money. Winners often are not even the top bidder, just the last bidder when time runs out. Although not all penny auction sites are scams, some are being investigated as online gambling. BBB recommends you treat them the same way you would legal gambling in a casino - know exactly how the bidding works, set a limit for yourself, and be prepared to walk away before you go over that limit.
Scam of the Year
Yep, it's us - the BBB phishing scam. Hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of people have gotten emails that very much look like an official notice from BBB. The subject line says something like "Complaint Against Your Business," and the instructions tell the recipient to either click on a link or open an attachment to get the details. If the recipient does either, a malicious virus is launched on their computer that can steal banking information, passwords and other critical pieces of information needed for cyber-theft.
BBB is working with security consultants and federal law enforcement to track down the source of these emails, and has already shut down dozens of hijacked websites. Anyone who has opened an attachment or clicked on a link should run a complete system scan using reputable anti-virus software. If your computer is networked with others, all machines on the network should be scanned, as well.

Recipe by Skye
"Rich, exciting flavors make this grilled chicken an exotic favorite. Arrange cooked chicken pieces on a serving platter lined with salad greens or a banana leaf. Garnish with cilantro (coriander) sprigs and serve with salad or steamed rice."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 bunch fresh cilantro with roots
3 cloves garlic, peeled
3 small red hot chile peppers, seeded and chopped
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 pinch salt
3 tablespoons fish sauce
1 (3 pound) chicken, cut into pieces
1/4 cup coconut milk
Delicious Thai Taste. My family thought it tasted just like they ordered it from their favorite Thai Restaurant. I served the chicken with Peanutty Noodles.
Mixed reviews in our house- I thought this was much to sweet and didn't have the balance of sweet and spicy I so enjoy with Thai food. I recommend making it hotter or adding garlic or something.
72 Ratings
I was in a hurry to cook dinner and picked this recipe based on everyone else's great reviews. We all loved the chicken, although my husband and I enjoyed it more than the kids. Will definetly make again. Have been wondering why the recipe calls out for *breast halves, chopped*. Why chopped? Also, the directions call it *coriander paste* - where is the coriander in the ingredients??6/7/04-I made this recipe again last night and pleased to see recipe was corrected based on my input. This time I used boneless chicken breasts and they were fantasic. Also, instead of fish sauce - I use soy sauce. Thank you again for a *10* recipe.
Excellent chicken! I thought the cilantro would be overpowering, but it wasn't. The taste was delicious and even my picky pre-teen children loved it. I used boneless chicken breasts, grilled about 7 minutes per side and they turned out moist and tender. I'd serve this to even the pickiest eaters because the taste is so flavorful.
Excellent recipe but DEFINITELY wear gloves while handling the peppers and the completed marinade. I didn't and ended up soaking my hands in cold/ice water for hours!
I mixed the marinade in a ziplock bag and then added fresh chicken then put in deep freezer to take camping. It took a day or so to thaw in the cooler and was great on the grill however I did use a disposable tin tray to cook on, the marinade has a bright yellow color and would be a mess to clean off the grill or anything like clothing. I served it with a sesame ginger pasta salad and it was a nice change from meat and potato's.
Wow! We've made this a couple times and LOVE it! Next time I'm going to put it on skewers to make grilling easier. (The smaller pieces are tastier, but they're hard to grill.)
I made this for a family barbecue and was worried that I was going to have too much left over since there was so much food including other meat dishes. It was the only dish that was cleaned right out. I used chicken thighs (skin on) and ignored all the fuss about cilantro roots etc. and just used two bunches of cilantro with the heavier stems and roots cut off and discarded. I used an entire can of good quality coconut milk for basting only because I didn't want to waste any and it created a wonderful coating. There are lots of flare-ups on the BBQ but all the flipping is worth the reward at the end. I will make this often.

Beautiful pop voices are awesome. When singers take the stage, they need not bring any props or do any outrageous dance moves as their voices will carry the show. You might wonder how you could develop such levels of vocal strength and richness. There are a few easy things that you can do starting today so your voice achieves star quality.
Begin by drinking half one gallon of water daily as singers need to be greatly hydrated. Water serves to think the mucus on the vocal chords. By the time you begin drinking that much water, you'll feel more agile in terms of voice. It is very hard to drink that much at once, and as such, it makes sense to have a bottle of water along. Take a sip each time you feel the need to do so.
Get yourself ready to practice by loosening up the shoulders and neck. Do so by rolling the head in a circular motion a few times. Have your lips and jaw loosened by exaggerating your lip motions while you say loud and look repeatedly and pretending to chew some gum. Repeat these steps until you feel that you have loosened up.
Look for some vocal exercises through different sources available to you. There are several resources that you can use in searching for vocal exercises. Focus on those warm-ups which target belting, tone, and vibrato. Avoid belting unless you have done enough practice and are capable of doing it without strain.
These exercises have to be practiced a few times. These will, at first, sound hilarious, and you might laugh until such time that you get truly used to doing them. In fact, you might not even believe that even the best singers have to make those funny sounds to succeed in their careers. You might want to practice when nobody is at home. You can also practice in the car if you need to. Such exercises have to be done fifteen minutes or thirty minutes daily.
Once you are finished with your everyday warm-ups, get a lyric sheet or sheet music. You can find lyric sheets by a simple search using a search engine. Once you find song lyrics which you think are correct, you can have the sheet printed out.
Then you can practice singing. You may sing along with or without a recording of that song. Avoid singing while you are listening to music using your earphones, as you will be unable to hear yourself. Once you have practiced a few times, you can then record yourself singing.
Then once the recording is done, listen to it. You might be surprised that you actually sound that way. If you think your singing is bad, take note of the aspects of your singing which have to be improved on.
More practice is needed to become better in the art of singing pop music. Practicing for fifteen minutes allows your voice to become stronger and your voice tone to be brighter.

Mock drafts: Lions going defense; U-M and MSU will have first-rounders
Pete Schrager of foxsports.com, in his first mock draft, has the Lions taking Alabama outside linebacker C.J. Mosley with the 21st pick, and si.com's Chris Burke has them taking Florida State cornerback Lamarcus Joyner. (Note: Don't get Mosley confused with the Lions defensive tackle of the same name.)

This dress is made by the fabric and the color, if you ask me. The cuts are amazing and I will be rocking this blockish dress all summer. I did not add pockets, and I separated the back into two pieces.
Rainbow died crepe de chine. Used hem tape for the neck piece and it was a breeze.

I still need to start sewing my dress. What do you mean, have courage? I hope it does not mean the dress is very hard to sew? It is the second thing I will make without any lessons :-s… I really love your version, I hope mine works out great too, it will be a winter version to wear over trousers.

The dress is REALLY a breeze. The difficult thing about the dress are the oddly shaped shoulder pieces that fall over the chest.

Chinese 102 is the second course of Elementary Mandarin Chinese. You will continue to build your skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing in a communicative context. Grammatical accuracy and cultural competence will both be emphasized throughout the course. Daily-life topics will continue to be the focus, including talking about the weather, dining, asking directions, birthday party, seeing a doctor, dating, renting an apartment, sports, travel, and at the airport.
By the end of this semester, you should be able to:
• Comprehend Mandarin speech delivered at a normal or close-to-normal speed on the topics you have practiced during the first year;
• Converse in accurate articulation and tones with native speakers of Mandarin about these topics;
• Read and understand passages containing the vocabulary items and the sentence structures you have studied in the first year;
• Write elegantly and in correct stroke order the Chinese characters you have learned in the first year;
• Use culturally appropriate forms in both spoken and written communication;
• Be prepared in both knowledge and skills to proceed to CHN 201 Intermediate Mandarin Chinese I.
