LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - A dozen JCPS schools violated district policy when former University of Louisville basketball players were selling autographs on school property. It appears the schools and even the JCPS athletic director did not know they were in direct violation of JCPS policy when they allowed Peyton Siva and Gorgui Dieng to sign autographs for money after motivational speeches.
Students were rocking red at Lincoln Performing Arts Elementary School expecting to see UofL's big man, but Gorgui Dieng was told not to show, after JCPS cried foul.
"We were real excited to be a part of that," said LPAS Principal Susan French. "We did receive notice over the weekend that would not be able to happen."
The reason? A flyer from the organizer PPS Sports telling parents they had to pony up if their child wanted to get Dieng's autograph after the motivational speech - $20 for a poster, $40 for a basketball and $50 for a "Championship Combo."
"I mean if it's against policies they would of course have had no other options but to cancel it," said Victoria Allen, a LPAS parent. "But I feel like it could have been something positive."
PPS has already held a dozen of similar events at JCPS schools with Dieng and Siva. When parents at some of the schools started complaining about getting charged for players signatures, school administrators took a closer look and discovered the autograph sale was a violation of board's rules against public solicitation in schools.
JCPS spokesman Ben Jackey said some of the principals thought the appearances would have been ok under another board policy, but the JCPS General Council determined it was not.
"When it came to asking our students to pay for autographs, that's not in conjunction with policy, that's not in conjunction with our strategic plan," Jackey said. "And it really didn't have an educational value."
So how did it ever happen in the first place? Jackey said PPS Sports owner, former University of Kentucky basketball player, Jeff Sheppard, contacted many of the schools directly, bypassing administrators who may have known the rules prohibiting the practice of selling autographs on JCPS property.
In other cases, Jackey said the opportunity to have the players speak at schools was passed on to JCPS regional administrators through Jerry Wyman, the JCPS Athletic Director. But no one there was aware it violated board policy, a policy that can be found right on the JCPS web site.
French said LPAS administrators called Sheppard to see if Dieng would still talk without selling autographs.
"We were told that without the sale of the memorabilia items, that they really couldn't do that," French said.
Sheppard said he's held similar events in other school districts around the state without issue.
"And I still think that we'll be able to sit down with the public school system and try to figure out maybe how to do this is a different way," Sheppard said.
In all JCPS canceled a half dozen player appearances that had yet to happen. Sheppard said they are great events that send a important message to students at no cost to the district or the schools as a whole.
Sheppard did acknowledge that his company splits the profits of those autograph sales with the players, although he wouldn't reveal the percentages.
"Once these student athletes are finished with their career and either they graduate or their eligibility is up or they declare for the NBA they do autograph sessions around the state," Sheppard said, "and this is no different."

Dwyer AD: We will appeal Nick O'Leary's suspension, but we will play
By Matt Porter
UPDATED (5:24 p.m.)
A day after Dwyer Head Coach Jack Daniels said his team would forfeit its next two games in protest of star Nick O'Leary's two-week suspension, Dwyer Athletic Director Tom Pagley put the brakes on that idea.
Pagley, who met with Daniels Thursday morning, said he understood the coach's frustration, but Dwyer forfeiting the games would not be fair to its next two opponents, Palm Beach Gardens and Pahokee, as well as Dwyer players and fans.
"He was thinking out loud," said Pagley of Daniels. "But it really wasn't his to say."
Pagley said Dwyer will appeal the FHSAA for a reduction of the suspension to one game. O'Leary will not be allowed to play while the appeal is under consideration. Pagley expected to hear back from the FHSAA next week.
(See the video footage of the incident at the end of this blog entry.)
O'Leary will be allowed to practice and travel with the team. He is allowed to be on the sidelines, as long as he is not in the same color uniform.
O'Leary, a senior and one of the nation's top recruits at tight end, was suspended two games Thursday morning by the FHSAA for making an obscene gesture on the field after Dwyer's controversial 26-22 loss to Cleveland-Glenville in the Kirk Herbstreit National Kickoff Classic at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio.
The season-opening game, televised by ESPN, received national attention because of two disputed calls in the final moments that apparently cost the Panthers a winning touchdown.
In a video clip replayed on ESPN and on the internet, O'Leary was caught on camera making the obscene gesture in response to taunting from several Glenville players.
Several videos were sent to the FHSAA for review of the incident, including the ESPN footage, according to FHSAA documents obtained by The Post.
Herbstreit, the ESPN college football analyst, reached Pagley by phone after Dwyer returned home from Columbus. Pagley said Herbstreit called the FHSAA, asking to have O'Leary's suspension reduced. The website Sports By Brooks first reported Herbstreit's call.
"But the FHSAA has laid down a two-week suspension because they have to," said Pagley. "[Nick] broke the bylaws. The only problem we have is that we think it should be one game instead of two. There are kids who get in fights who get one week."
"By no means am I making excuses for Nick, because he knows he was wrong."
Dwyer's next two games, Saturday against Palm Beach Gardens and Friday, Sept. 17 against Pahokee, are non-district games. However, forfeiting games would have cost Dwyer its postseason eligibility, according to FHSAA rules.
Dwyer could have petitioned the FHSAA for a waiver against the rule because of unusual circumstances. If Dwyer were to appeal, depending on which committee or board of the FHSAA hears the appeal, the process could take up to one month, FHSAA spokesman Seth Polansky said.
O'Leary was disciplined by the team and given an in-school suspension. In letters to the FHSAA, Pagley and Dwyer Principal Dr. Joseph Lee said O'Leary regrets his actions and was disciplined appropriately.
Pagley wrote:
"As an eyewitness to the event, I can tell you that [O'Leary] exhibited restraint beyond his years. What was not captured on the video was the aggressive taunting by a few of the Glenville players during the period just after the final horn. He reacted to this provocation in the heat of the moment in that manner because he knew that physically engaging those players and the student support personnel would be totally unacceptable. The notoriety of [the] gesture on television and the internet is unfortunate.
Conferencing with the student-athlete, I have discovered that he deeply regrets his course of action at that moment and understands that it is not acceptable from, indicative of, a representative of Dwyer, the Palm Beach County School District of the State of Florida.
He also understands that, at times, infringements incur penalties. Coach Jack Daniels has already handed down appropriate punitive measures toward the student-athlete and has counseled him and his teammates regarding this matter. As a group, we are attempting to put the negatives of the "Ohio Experience" behind us, as there are so many positives to recollect."
In a letter to Dwyer's Lee, Dr. Peggy Jones, the FSHAA's assistant executive director for athletic services, wrote that O'Leary's actions warranted a two-game suspension.
"I am sure he regrets his action and this is unfortunate for Dwyer High School as this was on national TV, but there needs to be a consequence for his action," wrote Jones.
Aside from the suspension, Pagley said, O'Leary plans to speak to the Jupiter Tequesta Athletic Association, the Palm Beach Gardens Youth Athletic Association, and area middle schools about setting a good example.
"I think it's a chance for him to expand as a person," Pagley said. "He's not a real vocal kid, but he knows it's the right thing to do."
Pagley said Dwyer plans to use O'Leary's absence as a rallying point. Last season, Dwyer won 13 games in a row and a Class 4A state championship after a season-opening loss to Glades Central.
"This is the kind of thing that makes you family really quick," Pagley said. "Just like Glades Central last year, we fell apart, and then we did what we did. And we're going to do it again."

Two Marshall County people who purchased a plot of land from another family will have another chance at obtaining the underlying oil and gas rights.
West Virginia Supreme Court justices remanded the case back to Marshall County Circuit Court to grant summary judgment in favor of purchasers, Glenn Spitznogle Jr. and Marlene Spitznogle.
The Spitznogles filed the suit against Kevin and Krista Durbin in Marshall County Circuit Court, seeking to enforce a written land contract.
In that land contract, the Spitznogles would pay $875 a month for 10 years for the 138-acre plot of land. The only exclusions listed in the contract were a house and lot trailer.
"The Durbins included no language in the contract excepting their vested remainder interest in the oil and gas rights, although they did, as noted, include language excepting a house trailer and lot," the opinion states.
After the Spitznogles made their last payment, the opinion states the Durbins failed to tender the deed to them.
The Spitznogles followed up with a lawsuit seeking the Durbins to tender the general warranty deed including all mineral, coal, oil and gas rights.
However, the Durbins said in their answer that the Spitznogles weren't entitled mineral interests.
While the lawsuit was pending, the opinion further states, the Durbins tendered a deed excepting "all minerals and gas, underlying said property, including but not limited to, all stratas from bedrock down, coal bed methane, royalties, and other benefits whatsoever related to any and al minerals, together with any benefit arising by virtue of any existing oil and gas lease upon the property by former owners."
The opinion states the record "is silent as to whether there were any oral or written communications between parties with respect to either the tender or acceptance of this deed, and it is not contended that the acceptance of the deed effected an accord and satisfaction."
The Spitznogles then moved for summary judgment arguing the land contract didn't exclude oil and gas rights.
However, in their memorandum in opposition, the Durbins said the land contract and the deed were merged.
The lower court granted summary judgment in favor of the Durbins.
"Under the facts and circumstances of the instant case, the circuit court erred," justices wrote. "The antecedent land contract, the terms of which the Spitznogles sought to enforce, was their own contract with the Durbins, not a contract into which some predecessor in interest had entered."
Justices said the land contract was not merged with the deed and the "doctrine of merger does not extinguish the Spitznogles right to seek enforcement of the contract."
"In light of the Durbins' failure to tender a deed to the property for almost five months after the purchase price was paid in full—and then only after the Spitznogles were forced to retain counsel and file suit—it would be manifestly unfair to conclude that by recording the deed, the Spitznogles unwittingly extinguished their right to full relief," the opinion states.

LEEDS, England (AP) -- A Bahraini investment bank has completed its takeover of fallen English power Leeds.
GFH Capital is promising a "fresh start" for the second-tier club after taking control from Ken Bates in a buyout worth a reported 52 million pounds ($84 million).
Leeds reached the Champions League semifinals in 2001 but was relegated from the Premier League three years later after being engulfed in financial problems.
The northern team, which won the English topflight title in 1992, is currently 12th in the League Championship.
Incoming director Salem Patel says the "business model isn't predicated on us being in the Premier League."
Bates will remain as chairman until the end of the season.

A shady zone with a few classic problems, some moderate, and a couple obscure problems to round it out. Definitely a worthy bouldering area to spend some time ticking some fun classics. Problems range from V0 to Vhard with the majority in the moderate range. Good landings abound, but a few sport testy landings that can be taken care of with proper pad placement.
Getting There
The Glen is about a half mile up the road from the gate buttress parking lot, and a hundred yards up canyon from the "Stick Boulder". Park on the south side of the road just uphill from a nice roadside boulder. There will be an electrical box 70ft up canyon from a boulder that has been quarried. A trail starts by the quarried boulder, and another by the electric box. The main area sits behind the quarried boulder.

4Emma Roberts Wants to Do A Remake of Pretty Woman
From Radar:
Emma Roberts is ready to don a pair of thigh-high boots, pull on a sexy garter belt and rock a teeny-tiny mini-skirt because she wants to do a remake of Pretty Woman, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
The pretty 21-year-old actress thinks the classic '90s movie about a millionaire falling in love with a prostitute should be given a reboot and has been begging producers to consider an updated version.
Pretty Woman earned Emma's aunt Julia Roberts world-wide praise, a Golden Globe for best actress and an Oscar nomination, so it's no surprise that Emma believes the same could happen to her!
"Emma's dream is to re-create Pretty Woman, it's her ideal role," a source tells RadarOnline.com.
"She's been in talks with producers about the possibility of revisiting the character Julia made famous in a reboot of the original film. Emma grew up loving Pretty Woman. It had sentimental meaning for her because her aunt was in it, and she can quote chunks of the movie off by heart. Critically and commercially it was a big success too, Julia was up for awards, and Emma wants to be just as successful."
Is this a joke? Because I can never tell if Emma Roberts is joking or not. There was her Julia Roberts Halloween costume, and then there was that time that she said that it was "so ridiculous" that some people think she gets parts because of her very famous relatives because "it's obviously not true." And if she's really pushing for this movie, then I don't even know what's wrong with her. Do people stalk their own aunts? Is that a thing?
But hey, how wonderful would it be if this movie actually happened? Who would play Richard Gere's character? Who would make up the drinking game for it?

Emma is delusional if she thinks she could play the title role. For starters, she'd need tp be pretty, not just obsessed.
Why would she need to be pretty? They let Julia Roberts star in the first one.
I think this is a great idea. It does need remade and she would be perfect for it. I can't wait to see it!!!
Christian Grey. For some reason I can see that crossover happening. Most women's ovaries would explode and there would be a MASSIVE baby boom. HA!

Orbital, veterans of the rave made up of brothers Paul and Phil Hartnoll from Sevenoaks in the UK, have left an indelible imprint on the landscape of contemporary dance music - one of the key figures in its emergence into the mainstream consciousness of the music industry. Having gone underground at the end of 2004 after the release of veritable classics including Halcyon, Chime and Belfast, the two went underground seemingly at the height of their career, and nothing from the Orbital camp was heard for five years - leaving heartbroken children of the rave to believe that the legacy of the duo was conclude there. To much fanfare, they resurfaced in 2009 with a headline show celebrating twenty years after that first single Chime, and with a new album on the way and an extensive upcoming worldwide tour, Orbital continue to keep the dancefloor moving and I speak to one of the brothers, Paul Hartnoll, about their extended absence, assembling the new album, and returning to the live stage.
Hartnoll is practical about the endurance of dance music over time. "I've watched it slowly spread across the world like some sort of happy virus - it came out of pockets of America, it infected Europe massively really quickly, but then, you kind of view it from where you've been booked for gigs. Early on, we got to do an underground party in Australia – there's always been a healthy scene there, especially in the early nineties. Japan, I've always taken to straight away, but Germany has never particularly taken to us. So how has it reached out across the world? I'm not sure. I'm too immersed in it – I haven't got the perspective to see it from a distance. The thing is, everybody likes to dance, don't they? I didn't think it was a quick, finite thing. It did seem to be quite special in a way, it's such a primal thing. It's never going to stop, it's never going to go away and it probably hasn't changed that much from medieval peasants dancing in a tavern to now!"
Orbital's enduring presence within dance music's highest reaches can be viewed as a testament to the frequently groundbreaking, visionary nature of their work – yet the two felt that there was something missing, and the time they spent away from Orbital provided them with some much-needed perspective, as Hartnoll explains. "At the moment, we're in a really good place - and the only way we could get there was to stop doing it for awhile," he says. "Orbital was allowed to die, and we were allowed to stop doing it and realise what we'd missed and how wonderful it really was. But we needed to be refreshed, we needed to be able to do those side projects and this other stuff to try something different so we could come back into the fold and go "oh, look what I've done this! What have you learned? I've learned this, I've done this!" and bring a whole fresh perspective to it. We'd never be where we are now if we hadn't done that, so I'm really glad we did it. It all feels so fresh now, and I think we've learned how to keep it fresh, too. Being able to step aside and see it from a further perspective meant that getting back in the studio, I kind of knew what Orbital was, whereas before I don't think I did, it didn't seem like it was anything. We agree on things in the studio, but it's also got this kind of sentiment to it. Stylistically, Orbital can be anything, but it's a mindset. It's hard to pin down, but you know when it feels right."
That wide-eyed sense of adventurous passion for new music is one of Wonky's most enjoyable features – there's no doubting that the love affair for the dancefloor that Orbital has spent twenty years enchanted by is still burning, alive and well. "Definitely, and not taking ourselves too seriously is important to that," he agrees. "Being honest, and enjoying what we're hearing and the music that we love, and bringing that to our party. For example, was listening to some dubstep and going, oh let's try and inject a little bit of that into this track. Why don't we try that slow? Just doing things like that. I've been listening to lots of folk – I feel like I've been bringing a folk sense of melody and harmony to that album. I don't think anybody else would spot it, but I kind of hear it, and bringing all these things we love together is a way of keeping yourself honest and pleasing yourself."
It hasn't been long since Wonky has found itself in the hands of critics and listeners, and the reactions to it have been overwhelmingly positive, welcoming the duo back into their rightful place in dance music's canon. "I'm very happy with the way it's turned out," Hartnoll says, of its reception. "I'm so happy that I hope people like it, especially the critics and people writing the reviews, but if they don't, the only reason to be upset by bad press is because it might influence other people's opinion. But on a personal level, I'm entirely comfortable with it and if other people do or don't like it, it is what it is. So far, fingers crossed, we seem to be getting a good reaction from people!"
This has been mirrored in the reception to Orbital's return to festival stages and clubs across the world. It was a reunion slot at the UK's Big Chill Festival in 2009 that inspired their return to work, and shows in the twelve-month period that immediately followed celebrating twenty years of Orbital were talked-about for ages, including dates at RockNess and Glastonbury. The latter being a particularly moving one, given that it was Glastonbury in 1994 that won them approval from people beyond dance music's limited reach at that time. "A big crowd's a big crowd, and that twenty year tour will always be with us, but the reason why the first time at Glastonbury will always resonate is for a number of reasons. One, it was the first time we'd ever done a big festival - it was kind of like jumping into a swimming pool of cold water. You do remember that first intense moment - it was absolutely shocking, a Peter Jackson, Lord Of The Rings, Mordor sort of army in front of you and you're there to entertain them. It's pretty scary stuff. But immense fun as well, especially when they all cheer at the same time at the end of a song and you just can't believe they're shouting at you, in joy, and you're like, oh my god! Unbelievable. The other important factor is that it was the first time that Glastonbury had had a full-on dance kind of thing. They'd had the Shaman and the Orb, as well as us - that absolutely blew people away. They really wanted it, I could feel - there was always that big gap in the market, but once they did, it showed that it was a viable form of music. On a more personal level, it's when we really discovered our crowd wasn't necessarily a clubbing or dance crowd - it was more a mix of indie and rock and dance fans all mingling together, and that's when we realised we were a festival and not a rave band."
Orbital dropped by in the later half of 2010 for a series of shows across the country, dazzling audiences who'd been gagging to see them for years with their astounding instinct for making people move and adventurous take on performing loop-based electronic music out live. "We get all the parts of the song ready on a computer and I've got like five iPads I jam with the whole arrangement of the song – there's no structure to the song, it's just all the parts ready to go," Hartnoll explains. "And we have a number of big old analogue synths out there on stage – some of them don't even have memory though, so you have the make up a sound and play them as you go along. We literally jam with the arrangements – we know what songs we're going to play vaguely and have an idea as to how you want to play each song, but it changes and develops over time, and songs stretch out or shrink every night depending on how you play and how the audience reacts. You follow the audience and try and take them somewhere. It's a proper kind of improvisational arrangement, sound sculpture thing. It's great fun – tracks that we're playing from the new album have already started developing and changing while rehearsing is the studio. The album is the starting point, then you go off and see where it ends up. I could go on and on and on."
Orbital [UK] play the Palace Theatre on Friday May 4. Wonky is out now through Liberation.

My Background
I've been playing with classical ensembles and rock bands since 2001. Even though I started on classical trombone and rock guitar, I have come to expand my repertoire to a variety of instruments and genres. During my time in college I performed with the University choir, orchestra, and band. I also have organized, wrote/arranged for, and performed with a variety of bands in my home state of New Mexico, as well as Japan, and the San Francisco Bay Area.
Since 2006 I have been an active teacher. This profession has taken me everywhere from working with classical guitar classes in New Mexico high schools to Elementary students in Japan to a variety of private students of various musical instruments and genres everywhere I've been. Since relocating to the Bay Area in 2010, I've had the pleasure of working with lots of great students from kids to adults with a wide range of ambitions. More recently I've also started teaching online lessons via Skype and Google Helpouts with Take Lessons as well.
Philosophy of Learning
Lessons are generally in a relaxed setting and designed to work towards accomplishing student determined goals. While all students will study similar fundamentals regarding technique, theory, and performance, every lesson is as different as every person. What kind of music do you want to make? I'll tell you what you need to do to get there, and help you take the steps to achieve your aspirations.
I also love to help students put together a song, record, and produce it for them so that they can have a recording to share with their friends and family.
Lessons with small children are more focused on just having fun while developing a good musical foundation, but I prefer for them to have as much personal ownership of their lesson as possible like my older students as well.
I also hold events for all my students. (Check out our pictures and videos below!)
Younger students have the "Young Musicians Recital" every few months.
Adult students have a weekly "Jam Session Night" that they're welcome to come to whenever they'd like.
Aside from in-studio lessons, students also have the option to sign up for online lessons via Skype as well as do a drop-in lesson through Google Helpouts.
(*Online lessons offered during different times than in-studio lessons.)
*Unfortunately due to scheduling issues, I'm not currently accepting students for bi-weekly lessons. I can do regular weekly lessons, or occasional drop-in lessons, but bi-weekly appointments make it really hard for me to give the best scheduled times to my existing weekly students. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
My studio is equipped with:
*Multiple Music Stands
*P.A. System
*Vocal and instrument microphones
*Guitars, Basses, and a Banjo
*Two guitar amps and a bass amp
*Various percussion including a fully equipped drum set
*An electric piano console
*A Trombone, Cornet, and Flute
*An extensive physical and virtual music library
*A recording system that students are not only welcome to use but encouraged to
*HD Webcam and condenser microphone for high fidelity online lessons via Skype
My name is Toshi M. I was born in Hiroshima City and raised in Tokyo, Japan.
I have ten years of experience in tutoring Japanese, teaching Japanese to many students of all ages during these years.
In 2014, I am currently working with a new project through Google called, "Ok Glass." It's a data collection project that leads to the betterment of Google products for voice search capabilities in their Google search engine, Chrome software and Google Glass. Google has chosen me to record, translate and transcribe for these projects within the Japanese division!
My tutoring policy is not just simply to teach the Japanese language as a Japanese. No, I always want to teach students more than the language.
If you are interested in the Japanese traditions as well as the language and traditions, then that is a good start for learning. Fun, interest and enjoyment are the best tools for learning with my tutoring.
You will not only be able to speak Japanese, but you will grasp the traits of the Japanese language, traditions, history, culture, and, most importantly, the uniquely Japanese styles of courtesy and customs simultaneously!
I teach practical Japanese so you can actually communicate and exchange proper responses with real Japanese with a sense of smooth conversation. My teaching method varies depending on the student's level.
Do you want to take a trip to Japan with your family? Is your business or company involved with Japanese customers or suppliers?
Is it your dream to work for a Japanese company in the future? Do you want to understand Japanese anime or movies?
Do you hang out with Japanese friends or have an interest in the Japanese language and culture? Do you want to speak, read and write Japanese?
Are you struggling?
Perhaps you went to a Japanese language school, but when you saw Japanese anime or movies you still did not understand? Then you wondered WHY, didn't you! After all, you paid so much money for school!
Here is the answer: most of the school are not teaching true and complete Japanese! Yes, they are teaching proper Japanese very well. but it only works for some test like a JLPT or speaking at work.
The SECRET is that Japanese people do not speak proper Japanese all the time. They usually speak casual, informal Japanese when they are talking with friends and family, and there are gender differences in spoken Japanese!
Japanese movies and anime cartoons, manga, are mostly stories of friends and family, NOT stories of formal work.
That is why you need to know proper Japanese and casual, informal Japanese both! The Japanese culture and language have customs and orders which you must know and understand completely!
I teach both of these structures at the same time. You need to know when and how to change from proper verbs to casual, informal verbs, and then you will begin to understand the Japanese anime and movies!
I am very strong in teaching proper Japanese, including reading and writing Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji. If you are only interested in JLPT Training (any level), we can certainly work with that.
However, I also teach business Japanese, word beautification, gender differences in spoken Japanese, proper and casual conversations, polite language, humble language, and respectful verbs. This is necessary for improving your personal and business relations!
I also teach Japanese slang along with many other aspects of the Japanese culture. Whatever you need or want to learn, I am here to assist you!
Whether you are a beginner or an advanced student, I can tutor you in private lessons at your home or at a public cafe. I am experienced with teaching all levels and all ages!
I give a fun, relaxed lesson and work to teach the precise and gentle true Japanese way in a friendly and open-minded one-on-one session.
I believe you will find everything you need, because I am focused on providing high-quality service and customer satisfaction. I will do everything I can to meet your expectations, and with a variety of offerings to choose from, I am sure you will be happy working with me!
I teach basic through advanced Japanese.
I also teach ORIGAMI (Japanese paper craft), how to make SUSHI, and how to hold the Japanese Traditional Tea Ceremony. I am able to give you information about J-POP and traditional Japanese songs as well. We can have fun with those, too.
If you would like to have a lesson once per week or twice per week, let's discuss the possibilities!
I do not usually set up a specific 10-hour or 20-hour plan, because it all depends on the student's level.
I then find the best speed for each student. At that point, if you want to stop at 10 hours, that is fine, and you can stop! Or, if you want to continue to do the class, you can continue. You may stop at 8, 15 or 30 sessions... whatever is best for you!
Do you want to speak Japanese for a few conversations... or do you want to speak Japanese fluently? Or perhaps you want to take a Japanese Language Proficiency Test? That all depends on your achievement!
You can let me know if you want to continue or not anytime! Let's go from there!
If you have any questions about my tutoring, please feel free to contact me. TakeLessons.
Hope to see you soon :)
God Bless You!

Detailed Description:
Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is a common surgical procedure in orthopaedic surgery which can be associated with perioperative blood loss and severe postoperative pain. Adequate pain management is very important to achieve early mobilisation in order to avoid immobility-induced complications. Non steroidal antirheumatic agents (NSAIDs) as selective Cox-2 inhibitors are commonly used in the management of postoperative pain. There exist non-selective and selective Cox-inihibitors. Non-selective NSAIDs block the systhesis of prostagandins by the two iso-enzymes of the cyclooxygenase, Cox-1 and Cox-2. For this reason the bleeding risk after operations (e.g.tonsillectomy) is increased.
In this regard, the perioperative use of Cox-2 selective NSAIDs is advantageous for pain management after tonsillectomy. This could be shown for Rifecoxib, a selective Cox-2 inihibitor. For THAs with treatment of Etoricoxib, also a selective Cox-2 inhibitor, possible complications as the increased risk of haematoma, gastrointestinal bleeding and the need of blood transfusion could possibly be reduced. Selective Cox-2 inhibitors do not interfere with the coagulation system. Study results show that other selective Cox-2 inhibitors like meloxicam reduce perioperative blood loss. Thus, besides ensuring a good perioperative pain management, selective Cox-2 inhibitors may in addition cause less blood loss than non-selective NSAIDs.This possible reduction of blood loss during pain management with Etoricoxib (Arcoxia) will be investigated the described clinical trial.
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a complication occurring after THA which can lead to postoperative pain and reduced function. Non-selective NSAIDs are commonly used in the prophylaxis of heterotopic ossifications after THA. The exact mechanism of prevention of bone formation is unclear. Some results indicate that the development of HO follows a Cox-2 pathway. A further aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy of Etoricoxib in the prevention of heterotropic ossification.

A dark brown brew with a good tan head that grows with agitation. Aroma is molasses and cocoa with some coffee beans. Taste has a little luke-warm coffee taste to it with a bit of sweetness like chocolate syrup. An OK burnt coffee bitterness at the end.
A solid brew that sits well on a cold night, but I was hoping for something a little sweeter, which would have matched the smell.

2006 Vintage.
Poured a medium brown hue with an incredible 7 finger foamy tan head. There was good retention and lacing. The beer was nearly impossible to pour because of the incredible head.
The smell featured a lightly sweet grainy malt with some smoky traces.
The taste was rather well balanced with an upfront soft sweetness that faded into a clean nuttiness.
The mouthfeel was of average fullness with some cloying sweetness at the start. Overly carbonated in my opinion.
Overall a decent brown ale.

Poured a deep brown color with a light cocoa head that lasted well. Sheets of lace in the pint glass. Nose was all sweet malts (smells like Ovaltine) and not much else. Palate is also of roasted malts, caramel, and a touch of chocolate. Nowhere near as rich as the nose lets on. Mouthfeel is thin, even for a Porter. Moderately low carbonation and an easy dry finish. All in all, not a bad porter at all, but the thinness of this beer is it's biggest fault. Big nose, small flavors. Good, but could be much better.

3.88/5 rDev +6%
Appearance: Quite something, this. Very deep true brown with a dense, massive, foamy head with great retention. Didn't see that coming. Honestly, I'm not sure if this head is a good or bad thing. I say good; but I'm gonna cut a notch off the score because it might be a case of carb gone crazy -- it may not be intentional.
Smell:Spicy hop, dense toffee malt and yeast combine into a nice spiced caramel apple.
Taste: Pretty good. Hops are MUCH more bitter than the scent would suggest, but are countered (beaten down?) nicely by thick, roasty, dark chocolate malt and buttery toffee flavors and a tangy apple tartness.
Mouthfeel: I actually like it quite a bit; syrupy, but the carbonation is remarkably (too?) strong and drags it back to the lively zone. Works for me.
Drinkability: I like it, but it's such a glassful of contrasts that I think one is enough. It's sort of like a sea urchin in a sense, with flavors and textures shooting out in all directions. It's good, but I can't help but wonder if some of this was an accident.

2.73/5 rDev -25.4%
Appearance: Way overcarbonated, with a huge frothy head sitting atop a mahogany colored liquid with garnet highlights; leaves lots of lacing, however (Since others have had the opposite experience with the level of carbonation, I wonder whether the brewery is having some quality control problems.)
Smell: An odd balsa wood and menthol aroma
Taste: Starts with a nutty and bready flavor that is joined, mid-palate by that odd bitter balsa/menthol quality; after the swallow, some chocolate joins in that provides a welcome relief, but those odd bitter flavors return in the finish
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied and sudsy
Drinkability: I really cannot recommend this one - just too many flaws; not sure whether this is organic but my experience with organics has been that most are sub par

The beer poured into the glass highly carbonated with a 1/2 liquid, 1/2 foam slightly hazy brown appearance and a brownish tight bubbled head which lasted for days.
The aroma was nutty and grassy through the extra high head. As the head retreated aromas of chocolate began to emerge alongside the grassy and nutty characteristics.
The flavor was nutty with a grassy and lightly menthol hop character. Chocolate was present as was a light orange citrus fruit. An odd mix of chocolate, nuttiness, citrus, grass and menthol coupled with a lightly vegetal flavor.
The finish was dry with lasting grass, menthol and vegetal. The body was medium with a huge carbonation level that made the beer difficult to consume through all the belches. An odd mix of flavors.
12 ounce bottle.

The bear on the label gives a thumbs up and a big grin and so far the pour is bearing this to be so (no pun intended..ok, i lied, it was). Decent head on top of a dark, light trapping, brown boody and accompanied by a sweet nose with coffee and roasted nut notes.
The taste is malty and nutty and well textured and finishes with a surprising kick of hops. Carbonation is a little off, especially at the finish, where the beer is completely flat. It is better balanced than a lot of brown ales I've had but the taste doesn't quite do it for me and I wouldn't choose this beer for a session unlesss choices were pretty thin.

This beer pours a dark brown with a slight mohogany tint. It has a thin light tan head that fades a little too fast. It leaves minimal laces.
This beer has a nutty aroma. It smells malty sweet. It has a toffee like nose. A slight hint of floral hops mixes in as well.
This beer tastes quite nutty. It has some biscuit like flavor also. It has a sweet caramel malt taste. It also tastes slightly spicy.
This beer is quite undercarbonated. It leaves a nutty aftertaste.
This beer might be a decent session beer. It is very mildly flavored, and it is not too high in alcohol.
Overall: I am not impressed with this beer. It is almost not carbonated, which is bad for the style. Also, the flavor is quite booring. With all the great winter beers out there, I will not spend my money on this mediocre one.

Our local distributor ordered way too much of this beer and had to sell it basically at cost. Thus, my store was selling it at $3.95/6pk, or cheaper than Budweiser.
Pours a deep amber hue, topped by a wisp of creamy white head that remains floating on top for a while. Very appealing aroma of sweet roasted malt, with huge notes of vanilla bean, bourbon whisky, and light chocolate. Palate is more of the same - nice, sweet roasted malt accented by mild bittering hops, along with notes of vanilla, pepper, and a faint hint of clove. Good, sturdy body lingers on the palate, helping to keep this tasty beer a slow-sipper. Tasty, and almost unbeatable for the (current) price.

12oz brown bottle pours a dark copper ale with a half-inch thick almond head. Good carbonation and very little lacing, the head fades quickly.
Burnt toasty malt and caramel are the stand-outs with this warmer. After notes of toffee and nuts come into play. Not much in the hop dept. makes it through the sweet, malty nose.
To the tongue, sweet malts stand out, then give way to a nice roasted nut flavor (almond, pecan and hazelnut come to mind). The burnt malty smell translates to a somewhat smokiness in taste, not cloying however. All in all, it's a very "nutty" brown ale...style suited.
Not to sure of the ABV, it's certainly well hidden. A pleasant easy to drink brown ale with a filling, creamy mouthfeel and a well balanced smooth finish...a bit like Pete's Wicked if you will...cheers!

Served out of a bottle, poured into a pint glass.
Pours very dark, much like a porter, with nice fluffy 1.5 finger head. It is slightly sticky, but the lacing isn't overy impressive. But still it is a very nice looking beer. Initial smell is strong in fruits, raspberry maybe, and some toasted malts. Taste is bready, with fruit backing. Not much hop present. Mouthfeel is full and rich. Perfect amount of carbonation.
This is probably my favorite Butte Creek beer. Well done.

Pours a dark brown with ruby highlights, and an off white head that dissipates quickly. The aroma has some toasted bread, blackstrap molasses, spices, floral hops, chestnuts and hazelnuts and some roasted malts. The flavor starts out with roasted malts and toasted bread, followed by some blackstrap molasses, spices, spicy and floral hops, hazelnut and chestnut, nutmeg and cinammon. The mouthfeel is a shade lighter than medium with moderate carbonation and good drinkability. An enjoyable winter brown ale.

This was an ok beer, but nothing to write home about. I bought it and all the other Winter beers that I could down here in SC a few weeks ago. I am slowly making my way through the beers and this one didn't really stand out from the lot. The smell was pretty good, with hints of roasted malts, some various spices, and cherries. The taste was similar, but more in the area of the roasted malts. It does get better as the beer warms up, but still nothing too exciting. Another notch in the preverbial "bed post" I guess.

Poured a lets say chestnut brown color since thats what the brewers are puporting this as, fairly accurate on the color side of things. 1" white head head quicly drops to a bubbly film with some lacing
Smell: Big fruity malt nose with good layers of cinamon and brown sugar.
Taste: Big toasty malt/nutty taste with some spicyness cutting through (brown sugar, vanilla & malt)
MF: Good carbonation, but not enough body for winter ale.
Drank just fine. but thought this was brown ale unless I didn't already know better. I'll try again out curiosity to see if aging affects for better or worse (my guess)

4.13/5 rDev +12.8%
Appearance: Dark, almost opaque brown with tinges of red. Tan head that has a decent retention and some lacing evident on the glass.
Smell: A roasty, almost nutty smell with some vigorous hops hidden in it.
Taste: A crisp roasted flavor permeates your tongue and is followed by a hops aftertaste. This is a somewhat bold brown since it has so much hops flavor and roastyness to it, but it is perfect for the winter season. There is no noticeable alcohol warmth and some residual sweetness to it that is akin to a molasses flavor. Very good.
Mouthfeel: A well rounded brown, it has a somewhat "meaty" feel to it and just below normal carbonation which allows one to really taste the beer.
Drinkablity: This a very drinkable beer and I found my glass empty before I was ready for it. I wish I had picked up some more!

Thanks Derbert (from our Thanksgiving trade)
The first snow of the season sends a storm of song birds to the feeder in the backyard between the snow covered black slotted deck and the clearing between the house and woods stacks up with the usual mid Missouri wildlife. Just past the tree line 25 yards away two does watch as this years crop of doe play in the lightly falling snow - their first snow.
Inside counting myself lucky that my job of tasting beer keeps me at home. Like the bear on the label, I can slumber late and stay in the den.
Winter Ale pours "wet bear" chestnut brown, clear with mahogany highlights when the 0.4 L rastal sniffer is held up to the snowy landscape. The tan head has quickly vanished like the deer in the woods. The only trace is the tracks left behind around the meniscus. A ring sustained by fine bubbles of CO2 that rise and follow the edge. A wisp of lace hangs on the New Belgium glass like a icing of snow on the pine branch disturbed by a cardinal that sends it falling to the bare ground sheltered beneath.
Thankful that I choose the sniffer I huff in the aroma of heavy roasted malts, chocolate, toffee and sweet caramel. These are reflected in the rich flavors like my now half full glass against the window. I open the patio door to let my yellow lab, Daisy, in from her winter walk. A light body but still enjoyable mouthfeel is inhanced by a near perfect malt : hop balance. The bitterness from well balance hops keep the taste buds clean and the beer finishes with dry impressive end.
This English-style brown ale was a welcome winter guest as I listen to the cars race as their tires spin against the hilly country road made almost impassible for the day. A day when you take pleasure in your cellared ales that you have so wisely put away for winter storms.

Appearance: 12 oz bottle with no freshness markings. Pours a dark brown with some tawny hues when backlit. Very little light comes through this beer. The head is creamy and sits for a long time before thinning. Swirling also revives a nice, smooth head.
Smell: Very malty, toasted malts, chocolate malt, anise and grass.
Taste: Very roasty and tangy with a rich malty base. Very sweet with a mild spicing of cloves and pepper. Sandy with some dried cranberry and raisin flavors anda bit of red apple. Some floral hop flavor pops in at the end with faintly bitter ending. The aftertaste is very bready and sweet.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with a slightly watery feel. Smooth without any stickiness.
Drinkability: This is a tasty brown ale and breaks from other winter beers by being neither overly spiced nor terribly sweet. I like this beer in the winter or any other time. It's a solid offering from good brewery.

Terrific beer. Really. Reminded me somewhat of DFH Indian Brown Ale.
Head was nutso. Kept whooshing up on me and not letting me finish my pour. Very thick, creamy, frothy, and persistent. Never went away.
This one could easily be considered a porter. It's that dark and roasty. Certainly hoppier than your typical porter. Really, really hoppy, but marvelously balanced out by those mysterious dark malty flavors. Not sweet at all.
Bursting with flavor, fairly unique. Definitely an all-out American brown ale, and a bold one at that.
Not currently available in AL, but if i ever see a six pack of this, i'm going for it.

Pours a clear deep chestnut brown colored ale with an ample tan head.
Smell is roasted malt and fruity, with a noticeable alcohol scents. Chocolate and vanilla scents with a little sourness and butterscotch too.
Taste is coffee and chocolate up front with a slight tangy flavor. Mild sweetness and a subtle bitterness. Slight metallic flavor, not strong and it is mostly an aftertaste and subtle. Mildly warming in the chest would guess alcohol is 7-9%
Mouthfeel is the one weakness here it is a bit watery.
Drinkability is good. Sort of basic but well executed and pleasant, mouthfeel might be a bit light for a winter beer

This beer came from Maui which is kind of strange. The colour was opaque dark brown with an okay head. The nose contained lots of malt and some hops. I like big brown ales and this one was much like Dogfish Heads version. Very food friendly and quite drinkable, Butte Creek should consider calling this a Brown ale and selling it year round.

Pours an opaque, dark brown ("chestnut brown", according to the label- ok by me, but I can't tell the difference) with a medium tan head thta quickly drops to a nothing cover. Aroma is sweet, malty, some slight winter spice-pleasant, but nothing sticks its head up and begs to take note.
Flavor is a hit of winter spices (there they are!) backed by some hops at the end of the swallow. Some malty, creamy feel, but the spices are the main event here (as they should be).
Full-bodied, nice pleasant drink. This is an alright beer, but to be honest, I'm not a big fan of the style.

Russet brown body with ruby edges and a creamy light tan head. Caramel and molasses malt, nutty vanilla, and some hop spice make up the nose. Tastes of singed gingerbread malt. Nutmeg and vanilla spices throughout. Astringent/bitter hops strike early on the edges of the tongue. Malt turns soapy and cola sweet near the finish. Finish is licorice sweet and roasty/toasty bitter, and still kind of astringent and grassy. Not bad, but not a great winter ale.

Appearance This one is a very dark brown in color with some light ruby notes along the edges of the glass. The head is huge and holds up really well. It left some nice lacing on the inside of my glass.
Smell The brownish, toasted malt notes are very pleasing, as only a good Brown Ale can be. The raw sugars are very rich and controlled. I can pick up a light English hopping of some kind that rounds things out nicely. There is a subtle yeastiness to the malts that keeps one interested.
Taste The darkish malts step things up big time at the taste. They are big and bitter and littered with coffee grounds. The light leafy hops actually manage to smooth things out here.
Mouthfeel This medium-bodied ale has some light carbonation and is very bitter.
Drinkability This is a deep, serious Brown Ale that demands respect. It went down nicely and I would easily buy again.

From LeakyPedia
Arabella Figg most commonly known as 'Mrs Figg' was an elderly squib who worked for Albus Dumbledore as a member of The Order of the Phoenix. Her main task given to her was to keep an eye on Harry Potter as he grew up on Privet Drive with Petunia Dursley and Vernon Dursley, his aunt and uncle respectively. Growing up, Harry thought of Mrs Figg as a "his batty old cat-obsessed neighbour" and never knew her relation to the Wizarding World.
[edit] Character development
Living as a squib in Little Whinging, which was near the Dursley Home, Dumbledore asked Mrs Figg to look over Harry Potter as he grew up with the Dursleys. Her duties included making sure of the safety and well being of Harry Potter and protecting him from Lord Voldemort, reporting any problems she faced. At least once a year, Harry would have to stay with Mrs Figg who had various cats which Harry would have to play with as well as look at photos of all the cats Mrs Figg had even owned. [1]
[edit] Appearances
[edit] Philosopher's Stone
Mrs Figg was first mentioned after she couldn't look after Harry on Dudley Dursley's birthday. Unfortunately for Dudley, Harry ended up going to the zoo with Dudley and his friend Piers after all as they couldn't find someone else to look after Harry. [1]
[edit] Order of the Phoenix
In 1995, Mundungus Fletcher, a fellow Order member, was meant to be watching the Dursley Home though instead apparated elsewhere. As he is not watching, Harry Potter goes out for a walk and runs into Dudley Dursley. The pair of them are later attacked by Dementors, and sensing them, Mrs Figg finds them on the ground from the attack. As she brings them back to their house, she tells Harry that she is actually a squib and information on her mission from Dumbledore. She also reveals that all the years that she seemed to be a sarcastic, cranky old lady, she was really just trying to hide her real idenity. Once she finds out that Mundungus left his spot, she is extremely angry, even threatening to hit him. [2] Mrs Figg is later called on for Harry's trial, after he illegally used a Patronus Charm in the presence of a muggle. At first, Mrs Figg's description of the dementors isn't convincing, but by describing the effect the dementors had on her, most of the Wizengomot believed her story. Eventually, because of Mrs Figg's testimony, Harry was cleared of all charges. [3]
[edit] Half Blood Prince
After the death of Albus Dumbledore in 1997, Mrs Figg attended his funeral at the white tomb on the lake.
[edit] Portrayals within films
Arabella Figg was portrayed by Kathryn Hunter in the film adaption of Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix.
[edit] Characterisation
[edit] Outward appearance
Mrs Figg is described as an eldery woman with grizzled grey hair. She often wears old worn clothing and tartan slippers.
[edit] Personality
As Harry grew up with Mrs Figg she was shown to be a sarcastic and insulting woman who Harry didn't really like. She often forced Harry to look at photos of all her old cats, which Harry hated as he was always bored. Although she was the only non magic member of The Order of the Phoenix, she helped as much as she could, such as watching over a young Harry Potter.
[edit] Accomplishments and skills
Albus Dumbledore approached her for work in The Order of the Pheonix to look after Harry.
[edit] Family
As she is Mrs Figg and not Miss, this implies that she is married. Though a husband is never mentioned so she is possibly a widow.

Here's a hint to Roma's defenders: Don't leave Zlatan Ibrahimovic unmarked for a header. That's a silly, silly thing to do. Kevin-Prince Boateng eased Fernando Gago off the ball and whipped in a cross for the Swede, who ran rings around poor Juan (his attempt to get to the ball doesn't really count as marking) before rising to nod a powerful header past a helped Maarten Steckelenburg and into the back of the net, giving AC Milan a 1-0 lead with less than twenty minutes gone.
This probably won't change the game too much - one would except Milan to continue to attack, and that'll give Roma space to hit on the counter - but if the visitors are sensible they'll probably stop pressing quite so far. Roma could get a goal back, of course, but they're far more likely to do it if they can catch Milan trying for number two. Robinho, taking that into consideration decides to go for the goal from inside his own half. It misses.
