What began as a simple list of their favorite trap songs inadvertently turned into one last homage to the genre they helped carve out as a team.

When Billboard Dance asked the duo to rank their all-time favorite trap songs in October of 2016, no one knew at the time that it would become one of the last things they did together. It was they who helped kickstart the trend of remixing songs with audacious trap beats, revamping everything from Lana Del Rey’s “Video Games” to Usher’s “Climax.” And it was they who were there at ground zero of the genre’s live movement, introducing trap to EDM festivals like Ultra Music Festival and Tomorrowland back in 2013.

Usher’s vocal performance can’t go without a mention – after years in the game, this guy’s still got it. Diplo’s production on the original was top-drawer, so to try to improve it would normally be viewed as some sort of taboo – but Asa’s pulled it out of the bag here. Not straying too far from the vibe of the original, the addition of sweeping basslines and a garage-style drum beat adds an additional layer of undeniable brilliance.

However, I saw a BGG video that if you got 4 tricks (and bid 6) you score -20 pts. I was scoring -10 pts/bid for not making the contract.If you bid 10 or more, and make the contract, then you get double points (i.e., 200 pts for making a 10 bid).They also played with an additional rule: If your team gets 10 bags, you get a point penalty (-100 pts).If your team takes more tricks than you bid, you get 1 point (instead of 10 pts) for each additional trick, but also a bag.Since it was a beginner's game, they played without bags. The jokers had be follow suit, and otherwise acted like spades.The two jokers acted like high spades (little and big joker), higher than the ace of spades.The red twos were removed from the deck, replaced with two jokers.When they were teaching new players how to play, they had a different variant than what I remember.

![]() Tammy Patrick - CEO of programs for the National Association of Election Officials, commonly referred to as the Election Center - says those kinds of laws come with their own cost, though. In 2022, the state's largest county - Harris County - had shortages of blank paper ballots which resulted in criminal investigations conducted by the state, as well as a slew of lawsuits.Īs a result, state lawmakers also passed legislation eliminating the position of Harris County's election administrator and restructured how elections are conducted.Īs a way to avoid these situations, some states - like Mississippi - have laws about how many ballots election officials need to print ahead of time. "And we always go a little bit more above."Įlections Texas Republicans target how elections are run in Democratic-leaning Houston areaĪnd the costs of making mistakes can be high in Texas. "We look at past like elections as well as immediate past year elections to see what our voter turnout was and, you know, what our voter registration population was so that we can try to determine how many supplies that we might need," Doinoff says. But Election Administrator Jennifer Doinoff says they still have to estimate how many blank ballots and other materials they will need. In Hays County, Texas, there is a vote center system that prints an individualized ballot once a voter shows up and gives their address. This also is true of counties that don't need to preprint ballots. But on the other hand, they don't want to print so many ballots that they've spent way too much money and had extra ballots at the end." They want to have enough ballots so that they don't run out. "They're doing this based on past turnout in similar elections, and they want to get it right.

I just opened my home for a monthly ministry gathering, and I am very excited about it. I also enjoy decorating my home, bible study, and cooking for my family. In my personal time I enjoy spending time with my family, going to church, attending my children’s sporting events, and volunteering at my child’s school (PTA). I am really looking forward to helping others find their home whether they are first time homebuyers, or those who’ve outgrown their first home and looking to sell and find a new nest. My career as a paralegal prepared me with the skills to work efficiently, pay attention to detail and effectively communicate with, and serve my clients. Our home buying experience, and my career in law led me to want to pursue a career in real estate. I know what it’s like to not know what steps to take, and not understand the process of purchasing a home, but it was one of the best decisions we’ve made. Buying our home was a dream come true for my husband and I as first-generation homeowners. The Central Valley was the type of place we wanted to raise our family. We were drawn to the Central Valley because of the affordable home prices and the “small town” feel that still offered everything we needed. My family and I moved from the Bay Area to the Central Valley in 2017. My name is Jennifer Solis, and I am a wife and mama to three blessings.

It should come as no surprise that the tower is filled with monsters. And finally the floor of the tower changes every time you enter, so the challenge is never the same. The doors will only open if you have five or fewer items with them - and monsters count as items. Well, at least you can bring a bunch of monsters and your best sword/wand and shield… except the tower dislikes the greedy. Whenever you enter the tower your level gets chopped to level one, but the levels of your monsters remain unchanged. The rules are simple and yet restricting. Most of the gameplay is focused at the tower exploring its mysteries.

With a peal of the storm’s lightning magical rays erupted from the tower’s crown scorching the desert - and scaring the hell out of everyone. Clouds loomed over Monsbaiya laden with rain and crackling with thunder. The hours passed on, longer than he’d ever explored the tower’s paths. When you turned five he left like any other day but something was different, there was an electricity in the air. He would brave the tower hoping to some day reach its peak. Your father was one of these monster tamers and egg hunters. At the foot of the tower a city began to form and grow, Monsbaiya, made up of or supporting those who would brave the tower in search of the precious eggs and other loot. Where there are strange creatures someone will want them. Monsters can only be raised by the first person they see when they’re hatched. It is the only place where fabled monster eggs can be found, though monsters themselves can be found across the world. Deep in the desert there lies an ancient and mystic tower. |
