The first of 10 NASCAR Chase races are in the books. Here's what some of the top 12 drivers had to say after Monday's Sprint Cup Series race at Chicagoland:
TONY STEWART (finished 1st): "We've had a miserable year. But the last three weeks have really started coming into it. ... I don't think either one of us (crew chief Darian Grubb and Stewart) thought we had as good a car as we thought we needed to win today. But it didn't take long in the race to figure out we were pretty solid."
KEVIN HARVICK (finished 2nd): "I'm just happy that we finished second, to be honest with you. There's still a lot of question marks for us coming into the Chase on the mile‑and‑a‑half stuff. But the call was solid all weekend. ... During the year it was all about trying to win races. Now it's about accumulating points."
DALE EARNHARDT JR. (finished 3rd): "I just knew we were going to get a good finish if we didn't run out of fuel. I was happy where we were. I thought we had really improved throughout the day. And, yeah, it felt a lot similar to how we ran earlier in the year where we would use strategy to improve our finishing position."
CARL EDWARDS (finished 4th): "It was a really good day at the beginning and we showed a lot of speed and then we struggled a little bit, but came back with great fuel mileage at the end and that was huge for us. It allowed us to jump up to fourth and really get good position. That was a nice finish for us in this first race and something we can definitely build on as we head to Loudon."
BRAD KESELOWSKI (finished 5th): "We hung in there and battled and battled all day. We tried some different strategy, got moved to the back, but kept plugging away and got fifth out of it. Our fuel mileage was awesome. It was a good first step for us in the Chase."
KURT BUSCH (finished 6th): "It was a good points day for our Shell/Pennzoil Dodge. We had speed in the car early, but just didn't keep up with the track. We were a top-10 car all day. We led a bunch of laps early. We just struggled with making adjustments as the race went on."
RYAN NEWMAN (finished 8th): "Our fuel mileage wasn't what it needed to be, but in the end, we got a top-10 out of it. Ran out (of fuel) coming off of Turn 2. It was kind of a crazy deal, but we were still able to capitalize."
JIMMIE JOHNSON (finished 10th): "From my driving style, I've never been all that good with fuel mileage. You've certainly seen me run out at other times. Not what we wanted. We certainly had a great race car and it's just too bad. We ran out coming to the white flag."
MATT KENSETH (finished 21st): "It is really frustrating to be a race car driver and they drop the green on the last run of the day when you are supposed to put on a show for the fans and you have to run half-throttle and can't floor it or you will run out of gas."
KYLE BUSCH (finished 22nd): "We had a good car today and kept fighting back all day long. But once we hit that debris, it made the car really loose and I was doing the best I can. I still hoped we could finish in the top 10. I saved as much fuel as I could, but I guess it just wasn't enough and we ran out with two to go. Just a really disappointing day."
JEFF GORDON (finished 24th): "It was just one of those days. You know, we had a right-front (tire) tear apart. We actually got the car halfway decent there at the end. Then it came down to saving fuel and we obviously didn't save enough fuel."
DENNY HAMLIN (finished 31st): Hamlin did not speak with reporters after the race.

Cyclocross: Brian Lopes Claims Second Consecutive Southern California-Nevada District Title – Eite Men's Class
Make it two years in a row.
After Thanksgiving dinners and holiday cheer, Oakley's long-time Mountain Bike Star Brian Lopes threw on some skinny tires and took it hard to the competition at the "Turkey Trot" – Southern California-Nevada District Cyclocross Championships in Verdugo Park.
Busting out a total time of 58:19:8 – Brian emerged with the Men's Elite Class victory, blazing the 2.7 km course and leaving the more than 500 overall racers in his dust.
Edging out Brent Prenzlow, the O charger proved once again that he can still own the youngins and veterans alike.

Just like some people will grab average position players on good teams, with the thinking that a strong lineup surrounding the average players will get them some added runs, rbi, etc. (I do that), some people after getting through the top 50 of starting pitchers would rather grab the #3, 4, or 5 starter on a very good team to round out their rotation. That's solid logic considering that pitcher will normally get big run support and a few extra wins with a solid offense behind them (I did that with Freddy Garcia last year). However, some of these pitchers on bad teams are worth a shot. They might be lacking in the wins department, but they can help, and certainly, will not hurt you in other categories such as ERA and WHIP. Apologies to any fans of the teams I consider bad. I know everyone starts at 0-0, but most of these teams have finished near the bottom of their division in he last couple of years. Like I said these pitchers are after the top 50, so there will be no King Felix here.
Yes, he is 37-years old. But, in knuckleball years, he is really like 27. Now that he has returned from climbing Mt. Kilmanjaro, with all his fingers and toes, Dickey should continue his surprising success against National League hitters. Over the last 2 seasons at home, he is 9-12 with an anemic 2.87 ERA and a spectacular 1.10 WHIP in 196+ IP. I know, I know, the fences are moving in at Citi Field. But it's not like Citi Field will, all of a sudden, become a hitter's park. Anyway, let's look how he did on the road. 10-10, 3.29 ERA, 1.32 WHIP in 186+ IP. That is why I like Dickey over all the other Mets starters, who all had ERAs north of 5.00 on the road last year. If you can get Dickey's road line for the entire season, I would be first in line to sign up for that. So, in two years with the Mets, Dickey's line looks like this: 19-22, 3.08 ERA, 1.21 WHIP.
Ok Royal fans, they are an up and coming team with tons of prospects and young future stars. However, they still went 71-91 and have one winning season since 1994. With that out of the way, Hochevar is a former #1 overall pick who has gone 17-17 in his last two seasons. When your team's winning pct. is .417 and yours is .500, I think you are doing a fine job. He gives up about a hit per inning, and his walk rate has been getting better. If the second half of 2011 is any indication of his future, it should look very bright. 6-3, 3.52 ERA, 1.13 WHIP in 12 starts.
I really like James McDonald, and would definitely take him over Morton. However, I already wrote about McDonald in my last post here, so I didn't want to repeat. Anyway, Charlie Morton put together a very good season for himself. Just like McDonald, Morton looks like he could be putting it all together. He went 10-10 with a 3.83 ERA. But, also just like McDonald, he walks too many batters which is evident by his 1.53 WHIP. His biggest problem, besides the walks, is getting left-handed hitters out (they hit .364 vs. him). He handles righties just fine, allowing a .220 BA. Morton might miss the start of the season recovering from hip surgery, so you probably wouldn't have to use a draft pick to get him. Just keep him in mind.
Dallas Braden - A's
Here's another pitcher who probably won't start the season due to injury. But, definitely don't forget about him. Last I read, he is hoping to be ready for the start of the season, but I think that's too optimistic. He will be a year removed from
TJ surgery shoulder surgery in May, so let's say late May/early June. From 2009-2011 Braden was 20-24, 3.63 ERA, and a 1.24 WHIP. Those of you thinking that he feasted on pitching in a pitchers' park will be surprised to see his ERA splits of 3.52 at home/3.76 on the road. His WHIP splits 1.19/1.30. With just McCarthy and Colon as the only starters with any kind of experience, a spot will be waiting for him when he returns.
Jason Vargas/Hector Noesi - Mariners
I wrote about both of these guys in earlier posts, here and here. The Mariners have signed Kevin Millwood to compete for a rotation spot since then. But, I don't think his signing will have any bearing on Noesi cracking the rotation.

The World Around Us Shapes the Delusions Inside Us
Short Attention Spans? Why, That's Just A Sign Of How Smart We're Getting
"The world is faster, faster, faster these days. That's the current reality, and it's not going anywhere. Leaving a page that isn't loading isn't a character fault; it's smart. You can get the information you were after elsewhere, and you can get it faster. If we really valued what we were made to wait for, well, we would wait."
Why Do Our Brains Leap To Stereotypes?
"In essence, they write, our minds are hard-wired to categorize information and create mental shortcuts (attribute A is associated with behavior B). This helps us retain knowledge using minimal mental effort, and provides a needed sense of structure to an otherwise chaotic universe. In doing so, however, nuances and complications tend to be discarded."
Does This Make Me Sound Insecure? The Linguistic Tics That Reveal Self-Doubt
"Like a scarlet sock in the load of white wash, insecurity has the irksome power to stain our speech and writing, interfering with the immaculate poise we'd like to project. Yet if you know what linguistic tics to look for, you can recognize self-doubt (and perhaps bleach the fuchsia from your pants before anyone notices)."
Self-Improvement, Original Sin, And The West's Spiritual Crises
"Most people assume the western church shares the same creation story as Jews, Muslims, and Orthodox Christians." Not so: the doctrine of original sin is unique to Western Christianity. "The search for salvation from an inherently broken self has defined modernity as much as it did Christendom. The need for redemption has shaped the language of the market, technological innovation, advertising, politics and, most obviously, self-help movements. But what is new is for there to be so little consensus on how to find salvation."

Happiness is… (How Can We Be It If We Can't Define It?)
"What is unhappiness? Your intuition might be that it is simply the opposite of happiness, just as darkness is the absence of light. That is not correct. Happiness and unhappiness are certainly related, but they are not actually opposites. Images of the brain show that parts of the left cerebral cortex are more active than the right when we are experiencing happiness, while the right side becomes more active when we are unhappy."
The Way Kids, Um, Talk Is, You Know, Like, Actually Conscientious
"Often enough, something we propose as a serious idea turns out to be more or less a joke. It's much rarer that something proposed as a joke – or, at least, proposed as a semi-serious conceit, offered in the spirit of what's often called, grimly, 'tongue in cheek' – turns out to be, or to have the germ of, a serious idea." But Adam Gopnik has one.
How The Moon Became A Real Place
"In popular imagination, the moon vivid, expansive, and fantastic. There was talk of winged creatures, moon elephants, scalding heat, and deep oceans. Newspapers were filled with stories—fictional, scientific, and artistic. In 1902, The San Francisco Call had an actual man act out the various faces of the man in the moon."

The Art Of Tests (How Testing Makes Us Smarter)
"The question is how to structure and use tests effectively. One insight that we and other researchers have uncovered is that tests serve students best when they're integrated into the regular business of learning and the stakes are not make-or-break, as in standardized testing. That means, among other things, testing new learning within the context of regular classes and study routines."
A Creativity Pill? A Doctor Looks At The Evidence
"I started painting from morning till night, and often all through the night until morning. I used countless numbers of brushes at a time. I used knives, forks, sponges … I would gouge open tubes of paint–it was everywhere. But I was still in control at that point. Then, I started painting on the walls, the furniture, even the washing machine. I would paint any surface I came across. I also had my 'expression wall' and I could not stop myself from painting and repainting [it] every night in a trance-like state. My partner could no longer bear it. People close to me realized that I crossed some kind of line into the pathological, and, at their instigation, I was hospitalized."

The Science Of Sentimentality
"What is sentimentality? Is it a manipulation tactic, a type of emotion – the desire to be overwhelmed mixed with self-regard – or an overwrought response to a trigger? What factors predispose you to it: youth or age, a gene, a gender, a mood, an IQ score? Is sentimentality useless or precious? … Why does weeping in the darkness of the theater feel so lovely? Why does clicking on an Upworthy link feel so wrong?"
So Science Can't Trust Peer-Review Journals? Maybe There's A Better Way…
"Peer-review is based on trust, but as the international scientific community grows, scientists won't spend their careers in the small, trusted networks of known colleagues that earlier generations of researchers were used to. Journals and reviewers need to step up their efforts to check for misconduct, but inevitably, papers with major problems will get through. Crowd-sourced, post-publication review through social media is an effective, publicly open way for science to stay trustworthy."
No, Your Language Does Not Influence How You Experience the World
"It's become fashionable in recent years to tout the notion that the language you speak affects the way you think, and even influences how you experience reality itself. It's an attractive idea, and one that makes some visceral sense." But linguist John McWhorter says it's wrong, wrong, wrong, and he explains why in this Lexicon Valley podcast.
Talent Versus Hard Work (It's Complicated)
"The value-of-practice debate has reached a stalemate. Compiling results from 88 studies across a wide range of skills, it estimates that practice time explains about 20 percent to 25 percent of the difference in performance in music, sports and games like chess. In academics, the number is much lower — 4 percent — in part because it's hard to assess the effect of previous knowledge, the authors wrote."
The Pristine Ruins Of Online Past Cities – And Lives
Artists Can't Get Any Respect – But That Can Change
"Think about how we all instinctively turned to artists to help interpret unthinkable events for us. It was our singers and musicians, our writers and poets that we, all of us everywhere, wanted to hear from. It was our artists that gave voice to our national agony and helped make the incomprehensible tolerable."
Why So Many Dead Moms In Children's Movies And Books?
How Dolly Parton – And Dollywood – *Are* America
"Parton's skill at being many things to many people accounts for the diversity of her fan base, capacious enough to hold drag queens and the sorts of hard-core emotional supplicants depicted in the documentary For the Love of Dolly, as well as the more mainstream country fans who surrounded us at her parade, which kept going long after Parton had fled the scene."

A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. today, Oct. 3, 2013, in the sanctuary of First United Methodist Church of North Wilkesboro with Dr. Keith Franklin and Dr. Steve Rainey officiating. Visitation will follow the service in the Faith Center of the church.
Dr. Deason was born in Parrish on April 12, 1926, to John Powell Deason and Berniece Moore Deason. He graduated from Oakman High School at 16 and joined the U.S. Navy at 17; he served two years during World War II on LSM 460.
After beginning coursework at Jacksonville State Teachers College, he received his BS in education from the University of Alabama in 1949. He received his MA in education from the Peabody College for Teachers in 1958 and his Doctorate in Education from Columbia Teachers College (New York City) in 1959.
Dr. Deason served as principal of several high schools in Alabama and Georgia before becoming superintendent of schools in Troy, Alamance County, N.C., and he was the last superintendent of the North Wilkesboro City Schools.

Two men are behind bars accused of trafficking cocaine from Texas into South Georgia and North Florida.
32 year-old Jimmy Tucker and 52 year-old Jimmy Davis were arrested Thursday night in Hamilton County. A joint investigation between the Echols County Sheriff's Office, the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office and the Lowndes County Sheriff's Office led to their arrest.
Investigators stopped the pair, who were driving separate vehicles in Hamilton County on CR-143. Officials recovered almost a kilo of cocaine, valued at 70-thousand dollars and a handgun.
Both men, who are from Lake Park, are currently in the Hamilton County jail. They are charged with possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute and trafficking cocaine. Tucker was also charged with possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

This is the point of view of many. Honestly, most of the Falcons wins come despite playing terrible football. Not taking anything away from them, but they have not looked good against many "mediocre" teams. IF we run the ball with success the game is ours. Typically when we are running the ball with success we get the W. And the Falcons have not been running the ball that good. I see a very close game, but we pull out with the W. Some say believe this is the big game I actually think the last game matters most.
Another fun fact: Some of ATL's key players are banged up.Matt Ryan Has a sore finger on his left hand. Probably won't effect him much but maybe it will a little bit at least.Julio Jones has an ankle injury and he hasn't been able to practice much this week. His participation is questionable. Even if he DOES play, I don't see him playing at his best. Not even close.Asante Samuel's shoulder is apparently in bad shape. Its kept him out of practice and his status is questionable.Micheal Turner has a groin injury and has been limited in practice. He'll probably play but I'm guessing that this injury is gonna effect his productivity.There are more starters who are banged up but I just thought I'd mention the most interesting ones.

Journalists banned from community meeting as Croydon Council chief executive refuses to be 'scrutinised by press'
11:04am Friday 7th December 2012 in News By Chris Baynes, Reporter
Croydon Council chief executive Jon Rouse has come under fire for suggesting it was not his job to be scrutinised by the press after he raised serious concerns about reporters being at a community meeting.
Journalists were last night told to leave the meeting in West Croydon after Mr Rouse, said he felt "uncomfortable" with their presence.
Members of the West Croydon Community Forum voted in favour of excluding three journalists, including a Croydon Guardian reporter, after Mr Rouse warned it would "be a very different meeting" if they remained.
The press had been invited by the deputy chairman of the forum to attend what it had described as a public meeting at Croydon Voluntary Action resource centre in London Road, where the council chief was answering questions about the regeneration of West Croydon.
But Mr Rouse, whose renumeration to run the council last year was £248,362 including pension contributions, told the meeting after his arrival: "I just feel uncomfortable about this situation. It's not appropriate for an officer to be placed in this position. It is going to be a very different meeting if the press are here.
"It is not my job to place myself in a position in which I have to defend council policy and have my words scrutinised and reported on by the press. That is the place of our democratically elected politicians."
The move saw one resident who had attended the meeting walk out in protest. About 25 people had attended the meeting.
The leader of the council's Labour group today described it as "deeply disturbing" that Mr Rouse had been unwilling to speak at an open forum in the presence of journalists.
Councillor Tony Newman said: "I have always been a passionate believer of a free press. It is fundamental to our democracy.
"In a week in Croydon that has seen our libraries handed over to property developers in a deal that is shrouded in secrecy, I find this deeply disturbing and I hope it is something I never see the light of again."
Croydon Council did not comment directly on Mr Rouse's comments about press scrutiny but said the meeting was not public. Invites by the forum on social networking site Twitter had said it was an open meeting, and it had been described in the same terms at the meeting before Mr Rouse's arrival.
A spokesman for the council said: "The West Croydon Community Forum (WCCF) and officers had a productive meeting discussing issues such as parking and business support.
"The meeting was scheduled by WCCF as one of their regular discussions with officers. As it wasn't scheduled to be a public meeting, once the press were there, WCCF members voted on the issue and asked the media to leave.
"It appears that there had been a misunderstanding caused by someone who tweeted invites to the media. WCCF publicises its public meetings on its website and the media and members of the public attend those public meetings, however this meeting was not a public meeting and was not publicised on the website."
Robert Oxley, Campaign Manager at the TaxPayers' Alliance, that campaigns for accountability on how taxpayers' money is spent, said: "Politicians and bureaucrats don't get to pick and chose when they are scrutinised by the media. Strong local journalism is important as it holds councils to account and helps inform residents about how their money is spent."
Some residents reacted angrily on Twitter to the news the press had been excluded from the meeting.
Paul Williams tweeted: 'ah, bless Rouse. Must be awful earning £230k/year & people expect you to be accountable!' and Marzia Nicodemi-Ehik tweeted: Arrogant behaviour of #Croydon Council CEO at WCCF meeting tonight. Press asked to leave. I was asked why I stepped out of my ward."
Councillor Simon Hall tweeted: "Unless very specific reason seems like massive lack of openness & transparency!"

Whenever I go into a meeting I assume everything I say will be recorded. It's just how it is.
This dude is just lame. Get a new one.

And yet when Margaret Mead privatised our Care Homes she allowed wages to plummet to a VERY uncompetitive level ( they dropped by about 40% ). All our decent Carers are leaving for better paid boroughs.

Last year, Lakewood Ranch earned its first win in its final game of the season, and it appears as if the Mustangs are still holding on to some of that momentum.
After trailing 14-13 at halftime, the Mustangs reclaimed the lead early in the third quarter when quarterback Reggie Lindsey connected with Damen Gilbert on a 47-yard completion. Lakewood Ranch never looked back as the team went on to defeat Cape Coral Island Coast in its spring game May 29.
Running back Michael Myers gave the Mustangs the lead mid-way through the first quarter, punching the ball in from a yard out. The Gators responded with a pair of touchdowns in the second quarter before Lindsey connected with Octavious Washington for a 13-yard touchdown right before halftime.

Two people are injured from a small, single-engine plane crash in Johnston County, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
Around 7:30 p.m., a Piper J3 aircraft clipped power lines and crashed while inverted off Highway 96 near Selma, the FAA said. Two people were in the plane when it crashed.
The FAA said Lynwood Oakley, 64, and his flying student, Elaina Essey, 24, sustained serious injuries. Authorities told WNCN that both passengers were conscious and transported to WakeMed for treatment.
Fuel spilled from the aircraft but did not result in a fire.
A neighbor watched it all happen and called 911. Justin Haggerty says the pilot was conscious upon landing and was apparently able to nurse a wound to his head while waiting for help to arrive.
"When they pulled the guy out, the first thing I noticed was he had apparently, when he was in the plane, had a gash on his head and made a makeshift bandage for it because he already had something wrapped around his head when he was being pulled out of the plane," Justin Haggerty said.
The FAA will being investigating the crash Friday morning.
WNCN will release more information as it becomes available.

Music Performance, Singing
Charles, a self described spiritual vocal artist whose repertoire offers songs of faith, healing, hope, love, peace, harmony, and enlightenment. He has a flair for infusing familiar and beloved inspirational and spiritual songs with a fresh, smooth, and distinctive sensibility entirely his own. His self-confidence is projected with warmth, charm, and genuine love for his music.
He captures the essence and spirit of those classic singers that have gone before him and established a tradition of great singing�.Johnny Mathis, Nat King Cole, and Harry Belafonte, as well as the more contemporary sounds of Peabo Bryson, Wintley Phipps, Luther Vandross, Jeffrey Osborne.
He is in his element singing as a soloist for spiritual ceremonies, concerts, conferences, services and related events. His musical accomplishments extend to include performances at the Carlyle Hotel in New York City, The Jazz and Blues Company in Carmel, California, Houston Grand Opera, Opera Omaha, and the Houston Symphony as well as roles in musical theater with "Showboat" and "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat". Most recently, he performed for former first lady, Laura Bush and Peter Buffett, son of investment mogul, Warren Buffett.
As a singing teacher, Charles has taught voice both privately and within the public school sector for over 18 years. He received his Bachelor's Degree from the University of Houston System and has studied extensively with operatic tenor, Joseph Frank and well known Houston vocal coach, Tom Mckinney. He has also taken masterclasses with world renowned teachers including Hollywood vocal coach, Seth Riggs.
Charles has served as a preliminary vocal judge for the popular "Gimme the Mike" singing talent TV show on NBC Houston, 97.9 The Box "Hatta's Idol", coached 2 American Idol Finalists, one Xfactor top 10 contestant season 1, and 2 semifinalists for the "Voice". He also served as a vocal coach for Beyonce's Music World Entertainment's Project Popstar, under the direction of Matthew Knowles.
As a life coach, I provide personal coaching for singers and musicians. This process involves helping a singer to first and foremost identify and understand why he/she sings, and what is the message they want to deliver when they walk on stage. In other words, what do they have to say?? From this viewpoint, they can create educational and professional goals based on their highest truth and life purpose. and address any issues that might be blocking them from achieving those goals. One of the major challenges that singers face are making career and life choices that will balance with their artistic or musical goals. In addition, it is very important to know your true gifts, passions, motivations and intentions. Moreover, having a realistic view and understanding of the recording business vs. the music playing business is essential to your overall business plan and success. You must also find the time and energy to pursue your art while making a stable and rewarding living. Lastly, if you are a creative type who is struggling with two common life dilemmas: the "starving artist" who is tired of panicking every time the rent is due, and the " well paid professional" desiring the time to devote to his or her art, then life coaching is for you
*** Lesson Details ***
I teach a vocal technique which is called singing on the speaking level, or "Singing with the ease of Speech". It provides the student with a systematic approach to link together all the registers of the voice-chest and head. The student and I work together to build a bridge between the low voice and high voice, (through the break) combining those parts in the middle creating "the mix" ( a blend of chest and head voice), that most singers struggle to master and the vast majority of teachers don't know how to teach or identify. This allows the singer to access all of his or her range without strain. A student would begin to experience positive results within a few weeks of study, both in the studio and with practice between lessons.
One of the best things about this technique is that it allows you to sing any style of music. Whether you sing Pop/R&B, Rock, country, musical theater, gospel, or opera, you can experience vocal freedom and confidence that every singer wants to have. As a singer, I have had much success with this method, and as a vocal coach, I have found that this technique meets the needs of any kind of vocalist and/or style.

Guitar, Opera Voice, Piano, Singing
I have been teaching voice for 5 years and my beginner students are already singing their own gigs. I have had only one advanced student in singing and in 2010 he got the zarzuela prize in the most prestigious opera competition in the world "Placido Domingo´s Operalia). I can teach in Spanish, English and Italian. and for voice I specialize in opera and mariachi music. In guitar as well as in Piano I only teach beginners.
*** Lesson Details ***
For voice I only take students from 15 years old and on. This is only because the children's voice is very delicate and I think it requires a teacher who specializes in children for it is a big responsibility. Once the puberty voice change is gone: this is my field of expertise. with great discipline and a huge desire of success, a student could be singing in less than 6 months in a proper, healthy and beautiful way.
For guitar and for Piano, since it is for beginners, is very simple and fast, and as well as singing, if you do your homework, then the achievements will come faster than you think!!!
*** Travel Equipment ***
I need from students to provide a piano or a keyboard for voice Lessons and for Piano lessons. I would provide the music to be copied, or they can buy their own music. For guitar they have to have a classical guitar and I would bring mine so that we both can use a guitar.
*** Specialties ***
I specialize in opera (for voice), but it is adaptable to any kind of singing. In guitar and Piano is only for beginners.

I have sung for as long as I could speak! I hail from a family of recording artists and have graced the stage since the age of 4. During high school, I learned to read music and took piano lessons. This peaked my interest in wanting to learn the fundamentals of music so I decided to major in it in college.
I then went on to Xavier University, where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Music. While at Xavier I participated in many productions. I also received a Xavier University Music Scholarship for four years. I have noted my experience in detail: Xavier University of Louisiana-Senior Recital; Xavier University Student Recital – "Opera under the Stars", April 2008; Xavier University Concert Choir Midwest Tour – Soloist for "Amazing Grace", April 2008; Xavier University of Louisiana Student Productions - Treemonisha (2004), Purlie (2005); Xavier University University Chorus; 2004-2009; Xavier Concert Choir; 2004-2009; Vocalist with Recording Artist: Josh Jones Nu Horizon, New Orleans, Louisiana; Vocalist with Recording Artist: Bishop Alvin Davis & Company, Baldwin, LA; Greater St. Stephan Gospel Choir and Praise Team; Background Studio Vocalist for Ebony Lockett (2009), Community of Faith Praise Team, 2012-2013
Currently, I sing at many venues and with various groups throughout Houston area. In addition to all of this, I also perform a great deal of gospel music on the praise team at the Community of Faith.
As you can see I have a great deal of experience and expertise different genres, and I look forward to sharing my knowledge with my students.
*** Lesson Details ***
To my future students:
I sit down at our first lesson to make a Custom Lesson Plan for what you want to study and goals you want to achieve.
I want to help you reach your goals and make you happy as a singer, so I am open to teach you anything no matter how little/much experience you have.
Next, we will pick a fun area to work on, and a challenging area to conquer. For example: we will work on a fun song then we will work on reading and/or rudiments.
I am also very patient and flexible to those students whom have special needs, or need to accelerate at a slower pace.

HENRY Purdy was among the try scorers as England hammered Scotland 48-15 in the Under 20 Six Nations at Galashiels.
The Leicester back, from Milton-under-Wychwood, helped England to a first win of this year's championship with their opening score.
Wing Purdy made space for himself and touched down just wide of the posts after Scotland had taken the lead with an early penalty from fly half Ben Chalmers.

Someone may have already suggested this. I haven't had time to read the thousands of recent posts since this all broke.
DON'T pack away your Texas Tech Red Raider gear in protest of the bumbling fools who are the administration!
PERSONALIZE your TTU garb with messages for Myers, Bailey, Hance, the BOR etc: Tell them to "WALK THE PLANK!"
There will be tens of thousands of Red Raider fans on ESPN tomorrow night. What an opportunity to show our outrage, disgust and anger over the actions of "the powers that be." The Raiders will roll tomorrow, and every time there is a shot of a fan, there should be a message going out to all the viewers: we are not going to take this "lying" down. Pun intendend.
So, don't protest by refraining to show your Red and Black, your Double T's, your Guns UP, Just ADD the unmistakeable message that those who have caused the damage must... WALK THE PLANK!

YORK, Pa. — For something as simple as a comic book, Dover resident Dave Kot's work has planted a lot of seeds.
The organization he founded, Autism at Face Value, recently released the first comic to feature an autistic superhero.
When the comic hit store shelves around York on Dec. 24, it sold out in less than a week.
Since then, he said, local middle schools have requested copies to use for social skills courses for students with special needs. Doctor want copies to put in their waiting rooms, he said.
"I am overwhelmed, in a good way," he said. "I could not have dreamt this amount of positive outreach."
Kot writes the script, and the scene he is proudest of comes when the main character, Michael, goes to his middle school for the first time. The experience turns his world — and the comic panel — upside down.
"It forces readers to literally look at somebody with autism differently than they may have expected," he said.
There are four anticipated issues of the comic, and Kot is now working on the script for Issue No. 2, he said.
The organization, which legally changed its name from Face Value Comics to Autism at Face Value, looks to tackle more than just comics, Kot said.
The nonprofit will also continue research and community outreach, partnering with other businesses and organizations to reach a wider audience, he said.
The Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders asked Kot to submit a copy of the comic for review, he said.
"It's kind of unique that a comic book would be reviewed by a journal of that professional caliber," he said.
Jared Wolf, manager of Comix Connection in West Manchester Township, said his store sold about 60 copies.
"I think people really responded well to it," Wolf said. "I think it achieved what they set out to achieve."
And for Alex Levitsky, manager of Planet X Comics in York Township, it's a partnership that will continue.
"We want to do more with them down the road," he said. "They're really nice people with good motivation."

A public pension reform proposal favored by Gov. Jerry Brown would save struggling state and local governments between $40 billion and $60 billion over 30 years, according to a hasty analysis by CalPERS.
The pension fund's top actuary, Alan Milligan, revealed the numbers during a special Board of Administration meeting on Wednesday.
"We've had limited time in which to review the provisions," Milligan said, "so this estimate will change as we continue to delve into the language of the bill."
California's state and local pension systems figure their long-term pension obligations are $135.8 billion more than their assets, although critics claim that estimate is far too low.
Lawmakers didn't issue the measure's 38 pages until Tuesday evening. California Public Employees' Retirement System staff worked through the night to analyze it in time for Wednesday afternoon's special meeting.
CalPERS analysts will keep refining their estimates, Milligan said, aiming for an official accounting in time for Friday's Assembly and Senate floor votes on the bill.
"We would encourage anyone interested in the bill to look at the formal estimate when it becomes available rather than relying on the estimate that we are providing to you today," Milligan said.
Fund staff concluded the biggest employer savings won't be realized for several years if the bill is enacted. Most of the benefit downgrades the bill mandates apply to new state and local government hires, including reduced retirement benefit formulas and a cap on wages that can be considered for pension purposes. The CalPERS analysis didn't break down how much the state or local governments would individually save, but it's clear municipalities stand to save more.
The state has already adopted many of the reforms in the pension bill through collective bargaining, such as using the average of an employee's three highest salary years to calculate pension payments.
Some local governments, however, still use an employee's single-highest year of earnings, which makes it easier to manipulate the formula to spike a pension.
"To go from where (the state is) to as far as this legislation goes, that's a shorter distance and there are less savings," Milligan said.
CalPERS' estimate didn't consider savings from higher contributions from current employees, which fund staff interpreted to be an option for local governments, not a requirement. Fund analysts also didn't estimate the impact of policies that might offset savings, such as higher wages offered to employees to offset lost benefits.
CalPERS board listened to the analysis, asked questions and heard public comments but didn't take an official position on the pension legislation.

Jim Taketa resigns as head men's and women's golf coach
May 9, 2008
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Jim Taketa has resigned as head men's and women's golf coach at Jacksonville University on Tuesday to spend more time with his family business interests.
In his four years as head coach, Taketa oversaw the men's program's first NCAA Regional appearance and Atlantic Sun Conference title in 2006. In 2005, Duncan Stewart represented JU as an individual at the NCAA East Regional and in 2007, both Stewart and All-America Russell Knox competed at the NCAA East Regional.
He has been with the University for eight years, serving as the ticket manager for four years before taking the reins of the golf teams.
"We appreciate Jim's hard work and dedication over the past four years and wish him all the best in the future," said JU director of athletics Alan Verlander. "With golf being such an important part of the fabric of our community, we believe we can build a nationally recognized program in the next few years."
No timetable has been set on the hiring of his replacement.

This 80-page, beautifully illustrated, book is about heraldry; a centuries old practice that most of us have encountered in one form or another, from sports teams to state and national symbols. It is specifically about the family history and heraldry of the Globe family.
Heraldry has rightly been described as the shorthand of history for it relates in symbolic form the hopes and aspirations, the achievements and failures of our ancestors. It also provides a rich pictorial source of genealogical and historical information.
The arms on these pages have been designed by the Serbian heraldist and artist Prof. Ljubodrag Grujic, Pancevo, Serbia, Heraldic Artist to the Royal House of Karageorgevich of Serbia.
The author, Richard Globe, was born in Canada but has lived most of his life in Europe; first in England before finally settling in Scandinavia. He is a Danish citizen and has traveled widely throughout North America, Asia and North Africa. Now retired, his hobbies include gardening, genealogy, family history and more recently, heraldry. This is the author's first book.

8Quotables: Jennifer Aniston Totally Doesn't Care That Brad Pitt's Marrying That Woman
"She doesn't care. She really doesn't. She's happy with Justin [Theroux]. She'll probably marry him. She's moved on. People don't want to believe it, but she has."
The wise, sage words above came directly from one of Jen's "close friends" who leaked the unofficial statement that Jennifer probably paid him or her to make to the media. And while I'd like to think that Jennifer doesn't care, as some of her friends say, she does care, and she probably cares a whole lot. Hollywood Life tells a different story—one where Jennifer Aniston actually does care, and wishes the newly-engaged couple well:
"Jennifer is happy for Brad and Angelina. She is so in love with Justin, that she is really grateful how things turned out. In a strange way if it weren't for Angelina, Jennifer would not have connected with Justin in a romantic way. Jennifer is in a really wonderful place right now. I wouldn't be surprised if she even went to their wedding."
But wait … And if things go south for Jennifer and Justin, she'll, what, blame Angelina for that, too? Because what if things don't end well? What if she doesn't end up marrying him? She allegedly credits Angelina for her today-happiness, but if that's only fleeting, then what? Maybe "friends" should stop making silly statements that could come back and bite the people who are involved on the ass in the long run if things don't operate as they "should."
Here's my point—new information says that the Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie announcement couldn't have come at a worse time, as Jen and Justin are said to be taking a break, one that Justin himself initiated:
Jennifer Aniston's boyfriend has reportedly suggested he needs "some space" amid claims their relationship is on the rocks.
Jennifer and Justin Theroux are said to be on a break as they have been bickering. The tensions allegedly came to a head over the Easter weekend with one report suggesting an argument between the pair reduced Jennifer to "floods of tears". Now more speculation has surfaced, claiming Justin has asked for time apart.
"Justin suggested he needed some space, which escalated into an almighty row, and by the end of it he said he wanted a break and told Jen he had been looking into buying a place of his own in Los Angeles," a friend told the UK edition of Grazia magazine.
So, which is it? Is she happy? Sad? Apathetic? Apathetic without the 'a'? I don't know anymore, guys. It's Jennifer Aniston. She always keeps us on our toes.

Brad looks like he changes tires down at the bait shop and garage on the edge of the swamp.
I feel bad for Jennifer. She, like me, has had a string of bad relationships. At least I"m not a celebrity. I can move on from them. No one seems to be able to give Jennifer a break here and let HER move on from Brad.
All that being said – I'm sure she doesn't care much. Not more than the usual, vague "why can't it be me this time?" feeling that I know I get when I see people get married around me. So what, it's her ex. It's her ex from a long time ago.
Nobody cares.
So true, nobody cares. I couldn't care about ANY of them! Angelina and her brood, OLD ASS BEAT DOWN BRAD, her stupid LEG (WTF!), her duck face and Jen Friends is OVER. Your ALL OLD, time to grow up and move on. We got Lindsay and thats enough laughs and gossip!

A passion for sustainable solutions
Four young Queen's alumni are helping to build a new kind of Calgary engineering company.
Putting together their different training, but complementary visions, four young Calgary alumni have become key talents in an innovative employee-owned niche consulting and engineering company that's providing an integrated approach to water, waste, and energy management.
The four, who work for Integrated Sustainability Consultants Ltd. (ISCL), have similar perspectives on their respective professions – from an emphasis on front-end problem solving to the importance of cultivating a positive, passionate work environment.
"The key is the culture that you build," director of projects A.J. MacDonald, Artsci'05, says of the high standards that ISCL founder and president Stuart Torr, the company's U.K.-born and -educated founder, has instilled in the business that he started in 2010. These are the same values A.J. has helped to foster since he joined ISCL in early 2011.
"That's really the only way we're going to continue to attract top talent," the 33-year-old Ottawa native explains.
That top talent already on board includes director of strategic planning Ryan Murphy, Artsci'04, who signed on last year; director of technology and innovation Patrick Leslie, Sc'10, Artsci'11, and Sean Speer, PhD'11, both of whom began work earlier this year. The four Queen'smen are now a third of ISCL's 12-person staff. The vibrant employee-owned business is thriving, as it takes on ever-more innovative engineering projects and builds its reputation.
It didn't take long for an awareness of ISCL to ripple through the Calgary's area's Tricolour alumni network; many Queen's alumni work in the oil and gas industries.
"I've been volunteering with the QUAA here in Calgary for several years now," says Ryan, a 29-year-old Quispamsis, N.B., native, "and so I thought, 'Why doesn't ISCL sponsor a Branch wine-and-cheese?' So we did. "
That gathering raised the company's profile and prompted a number of attendees to apply for work, Patrick Leslie among them. "We received some phenomenal resumes from Queen's alumni," Ryan notes. The rest, as they say, is history – or to be more precise, ISCL's future.
"It seemed like a natural fit for both sides," says Patrick. "I was very impressed with the work Integrated Sustainability is doing."
Like his employer, the 24-year-old stands out. During his student days at Queen's, he founded his own company. Envirolytics created a smartphone application that provides custom solutions for home energy efficiency, and he helped lead the school's solar design team in building a full-size solar home on campus.
Patrick, a Calgarian born-and-bred, grew up beside the oil patch; he's a progressive thinker, just like the three generations of Leslies before him who called the Stampede City home. They include his great uncle Jack Leslie, Mayor of Calgary 1965-69 (the first native Calgarian to hold the job). Jack Leslie led the opposition that prevented the Canadian Pacific Railway from laying train tracks through valuable tracts of land that have become green spaces and parks such as Confederation Park and Nose Hill.
Patrick notes that his great uncle was "doing sustainability before it was cool. He was something of a rogue in his day ... what we'd now describe as a sustainability advocate. It was about making Calgary a better city."
Like Mayor Leslie, ISCL faces its share of challenges in a competitive, fast-paced industry that has been accused of focusing on the bottom-line rather than ancillary concerns such as the environment.
"A key factor to our competitiveness is that we're a niche consulting firm," Ryan says. "We specialize in water, waste and energy management."
Sean, 32, another Ottawa native, agrees. "Our reputation is growing because we're creative problem solvers. We focus on conceptualization, and planning, and that's really where things like sustainability and integrating different disciplines become vitally important."
A typical ISCL project was the work the firm did to help with the design of an innovative and sustainable industrial water supply system to replace an obsolete river intake that was built in the mid-1980s. Another was working with students at the high school in nearby Cochrane to build on-site wind turbines and solar panels, a project that will help boost the town's future infrastructure and provide technical jobs for years to come.
"The next generation knows where the future is," Patrick Leslie says of mentoring the young students. Ryan nods. He, like many fellow Queen's grads, had his own mentor during his student days in Kingston: Prof. Scott Lamoureux (Geography).
Ryan observes that Queen's is "packed full" of bright, passionate people, faculty as well as students. "I think their passion really comes from the culture on campus. When you're there you feel like you can make a difference and have a positive impact on the world," he says. "That's what all of us here at ISCL are striving to do."

The other day I had to get a dead mouse out of a heater fan after it was all ground up. One or twice i have had to get a cat out of a fan belt after it was ground up and cooked. But this one I'm not touching.
I'm only afraid of 2 kinds of snakes. Live ones and dead ones.
