The city's streets recently went from bad to worse because of wet and winter weather as well as a nearly $3 million sewer project that is getting under way.
Gilbert said the fact that there has not been a resurfacing project in the city in more than 20 years contributed to the erosion that has taken place.
"We've got roads that are falling apart, and three weeks of rain just did us in," Gilbert said.
City workers took advantage of Monday's sunshine and began patching some of the most problematic areas. Patching is expected to be completed by the end of the week.
Resurfacing, however, is out of the question for the foreseeable future.
In addition to the sewer project, the city will also be replacing its gas lines this spring.
"For us to go freshly pave a road when there's a chance we are about to have to dig it right back up would be a bit silly on our part. We're trying to do the best we can," Gilbert said.
The sewer project, which will mainly upgrade the wastewater treatment plant and pump stations, is expected to last between three and five years.
Gilbert said he is hopeful that some repaving, especially on main roads, can begin sooner.
By that point, Gilbert also expects to see new businesses and residents in the city that can help finance the project.
In the meantime, city officials are asking for patience as well as assistance in determining which areas need immediate attention.
Gilbert requests that residents who wish to report dangerous road conditions contact City Hall or him directly through Facebook or his cell phone, 300-4985.
"We have such an open government down here now. I see so many people instantly take to Facebook and complain. Give us the chance to serve you. If you never come to us, how do you expect your problem to be resolved?" Gilbert said.

Another file-swapping trial, another victory for the record companies. I love rooting for the underdog as much as anybody, but this is starting to look like a rout.
As I write this, a jury in Rhode Island is deciding how many millions in damages to award to the record companies in the Joel Tenenbaum file-sharing trial.
[ See more file-swapping funny business on InfoWorld: "Don't stop believing in the RIAA's capacity for evil" | Stay up to date on Robert X. Cringely's musings and observations with InfoWorld's Notes from the Underground newsletter. ]
This case was supposed pit Harvard's crack legal team against the record companies, with the prime objective being to challenge the Constitutionality of the RIAA's police-state tactics. Unfortunately, it was the legal arguments that cracked when Judge Nancy Gertner threw out Team Tenenbaum's argument that listening to music obtained via Kazaa constituted "fair use."
After that, their case turned to styrofoam -- literally. Defense attorney Charles Neeson took a piece of styrofoam and crumpled it to bits in front of the jury to demonstrate what happens to "albums" when they get distributed online. (And if that didn't work, he was going to try balloon animals. Just kidding, I think.)
Of course, it also doesn't help your case when the defendant is a complete knob. (See: Thomas-Rasset, Jammie.)
On the stand, Tenenbaum cheerfully admitted to using Kazaa to download the 30 songs he's being sued about, and hundreds more. That was enough for Judge Gertner, who reviewed the transcript last night and this morning declared him "guilty, guilty, guilty."
It's a bit like someone on trial for murder who says, "Yep, I shot that guy, it was me, eeyuck eeyuck." Unless insanity or self-defense are acceptable arguments in a copyright case, that's probably not the smartest strategy for victory.

On tap at DLD 2012. (review from notes)
To be honest, this doesn't really look like much. Almost no head, no lacing, a bit of thin film along the rim of the glass but that's about it. Nice jet black color, and that great motor oil look is definitely there though. The aroma is intoxicating, perfect balance of vanilla, chocolate, licorice, coffee and some nice roast, but the vanilla presence just gives it something oh so special. I seriously want to stick my face in this vanilla glory for so long and just let that aroma take over my brain, room spray anyone? The flavors are just as amazing, the vanilla is definitely the highlight, but not astringent at all, super smooth, brings out the chocolate flavors really well, the coffee comes out nicely as well with some nice licorice and spiced flavors at the back. This is everything you want from a stout, perfect balance, rich heavy flavors. Super smooth, luscious, sexy as hell. The body is perfection, big, thick, viscous yet soft, plush and coating, warms as it goes down, incredible stuff.
Verdict: There is a reason this is so highly sought after, the hype is justified. This rules.

Bottle generously shared by grumpyoldtroll, thanks again Mike, you went 2x2 on the night
Bottled poured what could have been mistaken for motor oil with a slight espresso head and no lacing.. The smell of this beer is overwhelmingly marshmallow, mixed with the booziness of brandy, simply amazing scent.
The taste reminds me of being around a camp fire making smores. Mix of marshmallow, chocolate malt, vanilla and roasted malt.
This beer is sweet on your palate, but incredibly balanced with the brandy and vanilla bean.
I cant decide whether Brandy Vanilla, or Apple Brandy Huna go down as my favorite stout of all time....

Did a Dark Lord vertical 07-11 during March Madness, jh1982 was gracious enough to pop this open along with those varieties. Easily my favorite DL I've ever had. Typical brown and black dark lord pour with not much in the way of head. Big warm brandy and vanilla aroma, totally delivers, in if anything can make the base Dark Lord chill in the background, its this brandy and vanilla quotient, which is quite nice together.
Just a ton of vanilla all over it, a vanilla better than the GI BCS vanilla, because it doesn't have the same massive sweetness, while this is sweeter than your average Dark Lord, it isn't bothersome, it is complimentary. Hides the alcohol well, like all DLs.
Put it alongside Chocolate Rain, Creme Brulee, Eclipse Brandy. . . as a phenomenal dessertish beer. Wouldn't hesitate to grab one of these if I ever had the chance. I dunno if I'd drop $50 on it, but $30, sure.

Bottle had at NWI tasting group 2011 BA DL night
A - Dark chocolate brown with a caramel color around the edges. Not much of a head as it only leaves small bubbles on the sides. As the beer swirls in my glass, I can tell it's going to be a thick one as it leaves lots of residue on the sides
S - Loads of vanilla, brandy sweetness, marshmallow fluff, chocolate, and caramel. This is one amazing smelling beer
T - This is definitely the sweetest of the BA DLs but it manages to not be overly sweet. It tastes like marshmallow fluff. There is loads of vanilla and marshmallow in each sip. As it carries on, I do get slight oak, chocolate, and brandy but the vanilla and marshmallow are strong without overpowering. Definitely probably the most vanilla I've had in a beer
MF - Smooth creamy and thick beer that coats the tongue. It also manages to be slightly soft and fluffy.
O - This is an amazing beer. There is so much vanilla in this yet the vanilla doesn't overpower at all. Instead it blends in well to add a great twist to these beers.

#63/433. 750ml waxed and capped 750ml bottle into a TJ's snifter. Had at a tasting on 9/4/11.
Pours no head, no lace but excellent legs. Opaque black color.
Nose is pure vanilla beans. Some brownie and chocolate in the background but vanilla aroma dominates. Simple, but very pure and appropriate.
Opens chocolate and molasses. Vanilla comes in strong towards the middle with copious amounts of brownie and chocolate in the background. End is more molasses and milk chocolate with a sweet soy sauce finish and more vanilla in the aftertaste. Very solid.
Full bodied with very low carbonation. Oily and viscous in the mouth. Goes down with a good amount of heat. Messy finish with a lingering aftertaste.
The regular Dark Lord has always been known to be heavy and this variation is no different. Incredibly thick, robust, and viscous from top to bottom in the flavor to the mouthfeel. However, the vanilla adds a depth of character that really works with the chocolate, soy sauce, and other stout components. The brandy doesn't really come out for me but this is still a very solid beer.

Bottle #98/433
Served into a Tulip
Cracked this one open at a tasting last night, and I was immediately blown away by the aromas gushing out of the bottle. My god, vanilla, vanilla, vanilla!!!! This beast pours a thick chocolate black, with very little head. It absolutely reeks of vanilla with a slight hint of bourbon. At this point I was already satisfied, and didn't know how to feel, knowing that I was about to taste this gem. Then came the first sip....HOLYY CRAPPP!! Had to take a second sip to confirm my inner thoughts and....HOLY CRAPPP!! This monster made it to my top 3 beers ever tasted, might even be the best(coming from a guy infatuated with BA stouts). It tastes of vanilla, bourbon, some touch of chocolate, a tiny bit of oakiness, and a great deal of boldness. This thing is fantastic, and I believe needs to be drank right now. It left a sheath of vanilla and bourbon over my tongue, and made me never want to brush my teeth ever again! (unfortunately I brushed that night). This thing is so fantastic, I really haven't done justice to it with this post. Now off to tracking another bottle...

Dustin, thanks for being the guy behind me that won this bottle at DLD. Bottle # 231/433. Based on the OSU schedule, these notes are from 9/24/11. Likely poured into a small Delerium snifter/ticker glass.
A - Black, light tan head with minimal lacing. Stick to glass well. Not perfect, but it looks pretty nice. Does not appear as thick/black as regular DL.
S - I don't really need the notes here, as this one sticks out in my mind. Fudge, vanilla, sweet alcohol. Quite fantastic. I got a lot of fudge on this one. It was likely due to the sweet vanilla mixed with the DL. I didn't get any brandy. I tried, but just couldn't find it like I'd anticipated. Oh well, the aroma was about perfect as it was.
T - Fudge, sweet vanilla, brandy, lingering vanilla. Alcohol present towards the end. Esters clear the nose. Fudge and vanilla linger with the booze towards the end. I don't get what I'd call the molasses and coffee that is evident in the '10 regular version. The brandy comes in in the back-middle flavor just perfectly. I really enjoyed this flavor.
M - Fairly thick mouthfeel, but not as thick as the regular DL. Pretty nice for a BA stout. It fits well with the beer and allows for the flavor to carry, which I suppose is what a BA stout should do. In comparison to all RIS, this is a 4.0, but in comparison to other BA RIS, this is a 4.5.
O - Great beer. Top notch all around. The asking price at DL day was about the top of what I think is possible to pay...they must have been doing some market research. I would never try to get another bottle considering the trade asking price, but I'm extremely happy to have tried this one. I guess I'll have to get in line next year to see if the regular vanilla DL is better.

Reviewing the Brandy Barrel Aged Dark Lord With Vanilla Beans from Three Floyds Brewing Company out of Munster, Indiana. This is one of the most sought after beers in the craft beer world, so I have to give a major thanks to Robbie Moy for cracking this one open and sharing it with me. This beer was only released once, and only to those who were lucky enough to have a winning scratch-off ticket at Dark Lord Day in 2011. This is the 2010 vintage of Dark Lord, aged for one year in brandy barrels with Madagascar vanilla beans added. Only 433 bottles of this were released. We cracked this one, in addition to several other big name goodies, to celebrate the end of the Illinois bar exam, my birthday, and Robbie Moy's birthday.
Score: 99
Bottle number 332/433 (2011 vintage). Served in a wine chalice and enjoyed on 07/28/12. Review is from notes.
Appearance: Jet black, with a thin brown highlight strip atop the glass when held up to light. A think layer of creamy melted milk chocolate colored head at pour settles to a pencil thin ring around the glass. The lacing is incredibly oily and it coats the side of the glass, slowly oozing back down. 4.5/5
Smell: Sweet vanilla, fudge, milk chocolate and a hint of alcohol heat. Then brandy and more fudge. Complex, balanced and chocolatey. Sweet on the nose, but not nearly as sweet as the base beer. Mild molasses in the nose too. 5/5
Taste: Sweet and creamy Edy's vanilla bean ice cream and brandy layered on top of molasses and fudgey milk chocolate. Decadent flavors coat the tongue in rich, lingering goodness. Molasses and raisin too. Definitely a sweet stout (but not cloying), though this one is a little less sweet than the 2011 bourbon vanilla dark lord was. There is a nice alcohol warmth to the finish without any real "booziness" that gives this one some "life after death" on the tongue.
Mouthfeel: Full bodied, low carbonation. Viscous, sweet and "sticky" mouthfeel. 5/5
Overall: One of the best beers out there with a reputation for the same for a good reason. This beer is definitely one of the sweeter stouts out there, but it never crosses the line into the land of cloyingly sweet. I found the base beer and others like Lindley Park to be much sweeter. This is not a beer I could load up my cellar with at its retail price tag, even if I had the chance to buy multiples, and it's even harder to get through trade, but this is a must-try beer to hunt down and split with friends.
Recommendation: Seek a bottle of this beer out. It is just as good as everyone says.
Pairings: Vanilla custard.
Cost: $50 for a 750 ml bottle.

Bottle #372/433.
A - Pours dark black with a thin mocha head that dissipates quickly, leaving just a slight haze.
S - Wow, incredibly sweet aromas of chocolate brownie batter, raisins, caramel, and vanilla. Spectacular!
T - Again, very, very sweet. Lots of vanilla here, along with more brownie batter, brandy, and dark malt. My girlfriend likened this to a Chocolate Moon Pie, and I can't argue with that statement.
M - Thick and syrupy, with a full mouth-feel and low carbonation. The ABV is so well hidden, it's nuts.
O - Such a ridiculously over-the-top beer. So sweet, so amazing. Big thanks go out to Billy for sharing this delight!

Kan shared this one. Thanks!
Viscous, oily black, surprisingly well carbonated with a thin mocha head that recedes to a collar pretty quickly.
A shit-ton of vanilla on the nose, this is hilariously decadent. Toasted almond, chocolate, molasses. Pretty integrated brandy barrel, not a lot of heat either. Smells like French toast with maple syrup on top.
Taste is great but slightly less impressive than the aroma. Still awesome, however. Still a hell of a lot of vanilla, maple syrup and molasses. Tootsie roll, toasted almonds. Full, borderline syrupy texture. Very little heat, and surprisingly not cloying despite the sweetness.

Last DL variant opened for our tasting. Courtesy of existmusic00. Poured into a Duck-Rabbit snifter. Not sure what bottle number this is as it was smudged.
A- Pours a typical DL color but this one seems to have the most carbonation with a mocha head that dissipates leaving a thin cap. No lacing.
S- Tons of milk and dark chocolate, reminds me of cocoa pebbles, a bit of vanilla, oak, roasted malt, caramel and some toffee.
T- Best way to describe this was that it tasted like eating a slightly burnt marshmallow in the middle of the woods. Fudge, vanilla, oak, roasted malt and caramel are noticeable.
M- Medium body and low carbonation, despite having the highest out of the 4. The ABV is hidden extremely well is this variant with a syrupy mouthfeel that finishes a bit sweet.
O- This was my favorite DL with the PVW coming very close. Sweet but not cloying and very smooth. Not a lot of similarities to the regular brandy DL. Overall, very delicious.
Thanks again Matt!

Wild weather set to continue across London (From Enfield Independent)

Met Office warns rain and high winds to continue across London
Updated 4:02pm Wednesday 12th February 2014 in News By Anna Slater, Chief Reporter
Wild weather is set to continue across London today with heavy gusts battering the city, forecasters have warned.
The Met Office issued an amber alert for wind from 10am today until just before midnight across London.
Residents are urged to 'be prepared' and expect disruption to power lines and transport, as well as flooding in some areas.
Yellow warnings for wind and rain have been issued for London until Sunday, with potential flooding in some parts of the city.
Up to one month's worth of rain could fall in some areas of the UK within the next few days.
A statement from the Met Office said: "Yet another area of low pressure is expected to develop and move north east across England and Wales during Friday afternoon and evening, clearing to the east on Saturday morning.
"This will bring spells of heavy and persistent rain, especially across the southern parts of England and Wales. The rain will also be accompanied by gales.
"As is usual this far ahead, there is some uncertainty in the track of the system and therefore the location of the most intense rainfall.
"However, it seems likely that another period of heavy rain will affect the warning area overnight Friday and into Saturday."

PLATTSBURGH — With millions in broadband funding, some remote areas of the North Country will be closer to the rest of the world.
Projects in the towns of Bellmont, Dannemora, Schroon, North Hudson, Jay and Wilmington are getting a share of a total $25 million in Connect NY Broadband Grant Program funding.
The Bellmont North Next Generation Broadband project, awarded $1,012,366, is expected to bring 25.3 miles of fiber-optic cable to homes and businesses and a wireless network to connect 124 households. The Lyon Mountain Broadband project will get $976,426; that effort could serve up to 527 households in that hamlet, located in the Town of Dannemora.
Bellmont Town Supervisor H. Bruce Russell said those two networks will allow 100 percent coverage on both sides of the Chateaugay Lakes. Many of the seasonal residents of that area own businesses elsewhere, he said, and will be able to do more work online.
"I'm really happy because I think this will bring seasonal property owners in earlier and keep them here later," he told the Press-Republican on Tuesday, after Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office announced the funding.
Service is also expected to extend through the hamlet of Brainardsville and along Route 24 toward Malone, including the town offices.
Russell said work could start as early as this spring.
Dannemora Town Supervisor Americo "Ves" Pivetta said it will be nice to see a remote area of his town receive service.
"As town supervisor, that's great news," he said. "Thank you to the state of New York."
Nicholville-based Slic Network Solutions is in charge of the Bellmont and Dannemora projects. The new network will also deliver telephone, Internet protocol television and advanced business services to those areas.
That company is also in charge of the Schroon Lake Next Generation Broadband project. Awarded $2,162,656, it will provide service to up to 457 households in the towns of Schroon and North Hudson through fiber-to-the-home technology.
Slic also plans to provide wireless hot spots at popular public locations such as the Schroon Lake Public Beach.
The Essex County Broadband Service expansion project is to get $557,000. That network is expected to reach 1,900 households in the towns of Jay and Wilmington.
The lines can also provide digital video services and have the potential for a competitive telephone service.
In addition, the Statewide Broadband Expansion project was awarded $5,266,979. That money is to help Time Warner Cable bring high-speed Internet to 4,114 households in nine of the 10 Regional Economic Development Council areas, including the one that covers the North Country.
North Country Chamber of Commerce President and North Country Regional Economic Development Council Co-chair Garry Douglas said the funding comes in addition to the $90.2 million awarded in the Regional Council competition in December 2012.
It also represents an especially important commitment to one of the council's key strategies, namely the continued extension of broadband access, he said.
"With these five major projects, totaling more than $5 million, thousands of Adirondack residents and small businesses will know the economic benefits of broadband and will be a part of 21st-century communications and opportunities," he said by email.
"We identified these proposals as priorities for the region, including Lyon Mountain, Bellmont, Schroon Lake, Jay and Wilmington, and once again, the state took note of our needs and input."
Cuomo said in a statement that the Connect NY program is encouraging "sustainable adoption of broadband service in unserved and underserved communities, counties and regions across the state."
The funding, he said, represents New York's "largest single investment to bridge the digital divide" in the state's history.
"The projects receiving these grants," he said, "represent the very best proposals with the most potential to benefit statewide economic and community development efforts."

Bon Jovi at Superbowl 2003
We are a group of fans who would love to see Bon Jovi play at Superbowl 2003 during the half-time show. Not only are they big fans of football, but they are an all-american band that have been entertaining us for the past 20 years! They have a new album, BOUNCE, coming out in October, and the band has donated their time to many charities after the tragedy on 9-11. In closing, we would greatly appreciate it if you would consider inviting Bon Jovi to play at half-time! Thank you for your time!

Business, food and agriculture, society, government, the natural environment have changed immensely in the past decade, and the pace of change is quickening. Firms are under relentless competitive pressures not merely to reduce cost and add value but to predict and react to these changes, as well. To keep up with population growth, the world food supply will need to double in 50 years. Government agencies need specialists trained in the economics of natural resources and environmental issues so that they may best advise policy makers. Overseas agencies need to network with specialists who understand both the intricacies of international trade and also the importance of international development. Universities need to fill positions from programs with track records of producing outstanding candidates.
The Department of Agricultural Economics at Kansas State University is a leader in producing the talent to tackle these and many other issues. Our nationally-ranked graduate programs offer several options for students wishing to pursue a M.S., MAB or Ph.D. degree.

Written in response to a FanPost, John Fontana elaborates on the idea of Vincent lecavalier as an option for the Tampa Bay Lightning.
A change in Philly; Vinny rumors; Ben Bishop this and that, and a few more reads from around the Internet that are worth your time this Thursday morning.
The Lightning start their remaining schedule tonight in Nashville. Will distractions at current undermine the team's final segment of the season?
The end of the process, and the still unwritten next chapter of the Lightning is what is laid in front of fans with the dismissal of Guy Bpucher as head coach.
The Lightning continue reeling and fans want change. Everything's wrong. And, yet, by standing pat, the Lightning are changing.
The half-way mark game of the 2011-12 season reminds me a lot of the last player to wear #41 witht he Lightning.
A week worth of links from around the NHL and hockey world.
Oh captain, My captain. What do you expect from Vinny this season?
Vinny has a clause in his contract that states that any owner or GM that wants to trade him has to first survive 20 minutes of Kurtis Foster's shot practice, duct-taped to the glass behind the goal."Spork" on BoltProspects.com
We lament Versus blackout rule for the fans across the league, correct who Glen Sather would seek on the LIghtning if he is calling abotu a player, and generally preview tonight's hockey game...

Bass Guitar, Classical Guitar, Guitar, Music Theory, Piano, Songwriting, Ukulele
Charlie is a certified music teacher, who teaches in areas surrounding Clayton and travels to teach in the Raleigh and Knightdale areas. He first began teaching guitar and piano during his music studies at the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, MS. At the university and after receiving his degree in music education, he has taught and performed in various musical settings and venues which has included the genres of classical, jazz, blues, rock, folk and country. Besides teaching and performing, Charlie also is a songwriter who writes songs for his groups performances and teaches his more advanced students songwriting.
Drawing upon his education and experiences as both performer and teacher, he strives to relate his background to his student's learning experiences and progress. As each student comes with his or her individual musical wants and interests, student lessons are designed to meet these needs of a particular student. Charlie has young students of ages 5 to 14 as well as students of upper ages. According to a student's level of musicianship (beginner, advanced or in between), students are taught how to read music, music theory in relation to their progress, chords, scales and how to write/compose their own songs. He has designed a method of teaching which is full of great musical exercises & fun illustrations for the young student to enjoy while learning skills on their instrument.
For example, students can began with simple fingerings of chords & beginning melodies played in slow rhythms to allow the student to develop at a comfortable pace. Students that can not read music notation begin simple reading exercises of note recognition, time signatures, note values, eye hand coordination and more.
*** Lesson Details ***
I design student lessons according the age, playing level and music related interests as lessons can cover a broad range of interests and musical styles. For my beginning students- to develop their understanding of playing chords and rhythms,
I teach chords as they relate to musical keys and some common rhythm patterns used in many popular songs.
For guitar students, I have designed & developed my own materials for guitar (sheets & accompanying CD) which guide students in practicing chords progressions, strum/rhythm patterns & scales/melodies in relation to chords. My students have shown much success in these methods of concentrating on developing that essential sense & feel for playing different rhythm styles. Piano instruction is centered on learning to read music notation and music theory as it relates to the student's progress.
As students advance, more emphasis is placed on improvising on melodies, different approaches to soloing and chord extensions and substitutions. Also, students are taught music theory as it relates to their progress to enable them to create their own music.
I have a good selection of method books and materials to fit each student's level of musicianship and choice of playing style(s) to extend upon their interests and goals.
My approach to teaching is to make lessons fun and enjoyable in a comfortable and relaxed setting to allow the student full
concentration on each lesson. But, also to provide the necessary guidance and encouragement to challenge and motivate students to improve and develop natural strengths and new skills.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I have a good selection of materials (many I've developed), extra instruments if needed and recording equipment. The student will need the instrument and an amp for electric guitar.
*** Specialties ***
Teach theory as relates to students progress- examples, chords as relate to major scales, understanding of I IV V chords
in popular music genres, develop knowledge of chords & rhythmic sense before learning songs. I teach in styles of blues,
rock. jazz, country and classical.
Music Theory, Piano
I am a pianist and theorist who is enthusiastic about helping you learn more about music! I have a Bachelors of Music Performance from Appalachian State University and a Masters of Music Theory from Bowling Green State University. Music is one of my passions, a passion I would love to share with you!
I have experience with classical, classic, jazz, and Broadway music, among other genres. My performance and scholarly studies were primarily classical, but not limited to classical music.
Whether you pursue performance, scholarship, a greater appreciation of music, or simply a fun experience, I will help you reach your goals! None of these is exclusive, as all of them should be fun!
*** Lesson Details ***
I prefer to teach in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere where the student can ask questions and offer opinions without fear. I am a patient and encouraging teacher, though I do expect students to prepare for lessons and improve over time. Lessons and curricula are tailored to the individual, depending on the student's goals. Should those goals change over the course of his/her study, the curriculum and lesson format will reflect that change. I believe in a well-rounded education, incorporating not only memorization or sight-reading (for example), but the underlying theories and relevant historical information. Most importantly, I will endeavor to make lessons enjoyable as well as educational for all involved!
*** Travel Equipment ***
I can provide sight-reading/singing materials, handouts, and copies of music. I expect the student to provide his/her own instrument, textbook, and staff paper.
*** Specialties ***
Music Theory/Aural Skills: tonal through post-tonal theory, including counterpoint, part-writing, Roman numeral analysis, set theory; tonal and atonal sight singing (with solfege, numbers, and European letter names), rhythmic and melodic dictation, chord series
Piano: primarily tonal music (Baroque through Romantic), sight-reading, show tunes, popular songs
Accompaniment, Acoustic Guitar, Arrangement and Composition, Audio Engineering, Bass Guitar, Beatbox, Composition, Drum, Ear Training, Flute, Guitar, Harmonica, Music Performance, Music Recording, Music Theory, Percussion, Photography, Piano, Saxophone, Singing, Songwriting, Stage Performance, Ukulele, Vocal Training
I am originally a self-taught musician, picking up piano and guitar on my own at the age of 13. In high school, I studied music theory and sound engineering formally, and often helped my fellow students understand their lessons and learn their repertoire. Since then, I have been lucky enough to make music my full-time endeavor, working as a recording engineer and session player for other artists, playing in live bands, and teaching private lessons to students of all ages.
I have a deep love for music in all its forms, and I love to inspire that feeling in others. I strive to teach every student that they are in control of their own musical progress - I can show them the information they need to further understand a topic, but it is up to them to internalize and strengthen that understanding. With this approach, I try to instill a sense of ownership to a student's musical abilities, resulting in a growing interest in learning and mastering their art.
I customize my lessons, working with the student to meet their individual goals, while at the same time offering my perspective of their abilities and aspirations. I like to give beginning students a basic understanding of music theory right in the beginning, so that they can immediately begin to understand the patterns and relationships within the notes they play or sing.
*** Lesson Details ***
I am encouraging, patient, and pleasant in my lessons. I try to make my students understand that mistakes are not embarrassing flukes or failures on their part, but simply a part of the process of learning. The art of identifying and correcting your mistakes is a key part of progressing as a musician.
I prepare my lessons individually for each student, providing them with exercise material they will enjoy practicing and songs they want to learn. I encourage students to ask questions and tell me what skills they want to develop, but also offer my own perspective to them to encourage a well-rounded musical foundation.
My ultimate goal is to teach the joy of creating music. Music is an infinitely rewarding art form, and I love to inspire excitement and confidence in a student who may have been uncertain about his or her abilities.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Home studio w/ full weighted keyboard, synth action keyboards, acoustic, electric, and bass guitars, concert ukulele, alto saxophone, flute, 2 electronic drum sets, percussion instruments, recording equipment, and seating for parents.
*** Travel Equipment ***
Guitars, alto sax, flute, keyboards, percussion instruments, portable recording equipment.
*** Specialties ***
Jazz, Rock, Metal, Blues, Pop, Electronica, Fusion, Funk, RnB, Reggae, and Neo-Classical
I have been actively involved in music all my life. I started playing violin 15 years ago. I never would have expected it to take me where I am today. It has guided me to become a confident, respectful, and creatively evolving adult.
I teach mostly classical style violin, but do have a few students who are mainly interested in church music, pop, folk, and fiddle. I love to arrange popular music for my students, and encourage this side of the violin as well as the classics.
I have played in a few symphony orchestras on the west coast Including the Orange County H.S. of the Arts Philharmonic, and the Spokane Honors Symphony. I have been involved in the creating of Composition Clubs, and String Quartets as well as String Trios in the Pacific Northwest.
My main focus with the violin is in a folk pop band called Saints Apollo, where I perform and arrange string parts with Kaitlin Grady, an accomplished local cellist. I am also heavily involved in the rock/pop/indie music scene in Raleigh, and I frequently provide session work in and out of the studio for local artists.
*** Lesson Details ***
Always depending on the student's goals of course, I like to involve personal creativity into my lessons. From figuring out well known tunes, to eventually writing melodies, or at least coming up with the basis and foundation to a piece. I have learned that writing music on your instrument, in conjunction with learning to play the classics, opens up a vast array of musical knowledge and musical creativity. Everything depends upon what the student wants out of their lessons though.
I do enforce weekly homework in the form of scales, warm-ups, etudes, and selected works. All varying upon playing level, and progressing differently from student to student. Recitals are offered at local coffee shops and community churches. The student will have a choice on whether to play solo, with piano accompaniment, guitar accompaniment, or duet music for recitals.
After the first 6 months, the student should be able to comprehend most basic music theory, from note names and where they sit on the fingerboard, to basic scales, time signatures, and basic rhythms in order to effectively sight-read sheet music. The student will have developed a proper bow hold, and will be able to demonstrate a smooth and straight bowing pattern to obtain great tone! Every student grows at a completely different rate, and this is what is expected of the average student.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Music stand, yamaha keyboard, multiple violins, guitar,
*** Travel Equipment ***
Music Stand, Violin, Violin Bag O' Tricks
*** Specialties ***
For my beginning students I use a combination of the Suzuki Method, All for Strings or Essential Elements, and Harvey Whistler's Scales in First Position.
Materials used for advanced students varies.
This instrument holds true to so much that occurs naturally in nature. The science behind the instrument is so fascinating, and I love to teach with that thought in mind! There is a reaction to every action you make!
I enjoy teaching classical styles, but also encourage exploration into popular music as well, and provide arrangements if the selection is appropriate.
Drum, Music Performance, Music Theory, Percussion, Piano
At heart, I'm a rock-nerd.
But the beautiful thing about music and especially music theory is that you start to realize that every composer, be it Bach or The Beastie Boys, uses the same tricks.
I can teach an arpeggio on piano and play a bit of a Beethoven song and then switch right to a Muse song and hear that exact same lick. With drums, I can teach a rudiment (the building blocks of percussion) and then play a Nirvana song back to back with a concerto and hear the exact same pattern played on the snare. It's all the same, in the best way. And at the risk of sounding corny, I think it speaks to the universal spirit of music.
*** Lesson Details ***
Drawing on his touring experience and knowledge of several instruments, Matt helps engage his students in the process of learning an instrument and playing in a band. Blending the discipline of learning fundamentals to the expression and fun of playing music, lessons will be tailored to the student's goals as well as a practical perspective of music reading and ear training. He pushes his students to practice and yet is open-minded of kids and adult's busy schedules. Each lesson is different and includes a variety of learning games/activities.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Full Drum set, Snare, Roland Digital Piano, Roland keyboard/synthesizer, computer, library of musical books and sheet music, acoustic guitar, loop station, two microphones, effects pedals, congas, and general purpose amplifier.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I might bring my guitar on occasion, but mostly just a notebook and other books if needed. The student would need to provide the instrument if I come to their home, otherwise I have everything (and more) at my home studio. For drums only a drum pad and sticks are necessary for beginners. Piano players need a weighted keyboard or acoustic piano.
*** Specialties ***
Matt turned his habit of tapping rhythmically on chairs, desks, car seats, floors, (and nearly anything else) into a profession. When he was ten, his mother finally decided that maybe a drum set and a small keyboard would be a better outlet and he began channeling that energy into something musical.
Now after over 20 years of musical experience including national tours opening for acts such as Bonnie Raitt, Bobby McFerrin, The Average White Band, and even Styx (yes Styx!), he is dedicating his career to teaching.
Having trained since middle school with various private instructors, he studied with some of the top musicians of the region at Denver University's Lamont School of Music as well as Auckland University in New Zealand. Known as a multi-instrumentalist with a focus on drum set, he is also adept at piano, keyboard, and is also a nationally-recognized vocal percussionist (beatboxer) having performed around the country. He has won awards for vocal percussion, a Capella arranging, and live-looping, and has been featured on various radio stations and podcasts.
He passion, however teaching fresh faces how to find self-expression through an instrument through discipline and patience. He has taught drums and piano privately for over eight years and developed an engaging and effect method to learning the instruments. Mixing technique and ear training, Matt believes that leading student's to their voice and helping them develop discipline and intuition is the highest goal of any music teacher.
He teaches out of his home studio just outside Raleigh next to Cary where he and the student have access to a rich variety of resources. He also teaches kids and adults alike, how to play in a band as he will play guitar, piano or drums to whatever the student is learning to allow them to be conformable in a group setting.
This can be the first step towards a lifetime of musical expression!

It was sent to me with the challenge of decorating it in a way that would bring to light one of my favorite charitable organizations. P Allen Smith will then post it on his Pinterest Page - if my post gets the most response from Allen's page, then my organization will get a set of fresh greenery sent to them by the Berry Family! So here's my dilemma - It is perfect on my front door and I love it JUST THE WAY IT WAS SENT TO ME. But I want folks to know about Thistle Farms and the Madalene House.
Well, as it so happens I also am having some friends over soon for a little Christmas gathering. I had been trying to think of a fun way to hand out my little Christmas surprises that I had gotten for my friends - all goodies that I had purchased from Thistle Farms to support their organization, help my friends learn about their great products, and to just let my friends know I love 'em.
Here's a little about this organization:
"Founded in 1997 by Becca Stevens, an Episcopal priest on Vanderbilt's campus, Magdalene is a residential program for women who have survived lives of prostitution, trafficking, addiction and life on the streets.
Thistle Farms is our social enterprise.
For two years, we offer housing, food, medical and dental needs, therapy, education and job training without charging the residents or receiving government funding.
Our six homes function without 24-hour live-in staff, relying on residents to create a supportive community, maintain recovery, and share household tasks.
Women come to Magdalene from prison, the streets and from across the Southeast and the country.
The women of Magdalene/Thistle Farms range in age from 20-50, and many have been sexually abused between the ages of 7-11, began using alcohol or drugs by 13, have been arrested on average a hundred times, or have spent about 12 years on the street prostituting.
72% percent of the women who join Magdalene are clean and sober 2 1/2 years after beginning the program.
We furnish housing for 30 residents and graduates and provide outreach services to women still living on the streets. New residents are given a key and are offered the necessary resources to maintain recovery, heal from childhood wounds, become physically healthy and find employment.
After four months, the women find work, return to school and/or enter Magdalene's job training program at Thistle Farms, a social enterprise. Magdalene also offers a matched savings program to help residents prepare for economic independence upon graduation. Women who remain in recovery two years post-graduation are eligible for a new home buying program administered by two local congregations and Magdalene.
Magdalene's programs are grounded in its 24 spiritual principles that advocate living gracefully in community with one another. Residents, graduates, staff and volunteers share daily tasks, offer hospitality, build on each other's strengths, and provide compassionate, disciplined support.
Magdalene was founded not only to help a subculture of women, but also to help transform the culture itself. We stand in solidarity with women who are recovering from abuse, trafficking, addiction, and life on the streets, and who have paid dearly for a culture that continues to buy and sell women.
Magdalene stands as a witness to the truth that in the end, love is more powerful than all the forces that drive women to the streets."
I decided to use the wreath as a centerpiece on my coffee table and decorate it with the different Thistle Farms products. As I pulled out my teacups for the party, I put a small sticky dot on the bottom of the cups with a number (from 1- 20). After we visit and enjoy catching up, I'll have the gals check the bottom of their teacups. Number 1 gets to choose first from the wreath and we'll go from there.

Thank-you, P Allen Smith and Berry Family of Nurseries for this opportunity to get the word out about this organization that is changing my outlook on life as it dramatically changes the lives of so many other women.

The special teams unit and the safeties have already been discussed. We move on to the next position group, the cornerbacks, as we look at training camp and the players involved.
The name we all know, as well as the rest of the NFL, is Patrick Peterson, who in two seasons has been to two Pro Bowls and is considered the 33rd best player in the NFL this year. There are a lot of new additions after him. The group includes Peterson, four offseason acquisitions, two returning players drafted a year ago and two undrafted rookies.
The players:
Javier Arenas, acquired via trade from the Kansas City Chiefs for Anthony Sherman
Justin Bethel, drafted in the sixth round by Arizona in 2012
Antoine Cason, signed to a one-year free agent contract this offseason
Jamell Fleming, drafted in the third round by Arizona in 2012
Josh Hill, undrafted free agent
Bryan McCann, signed to a one-year free agent contract this offseason
Patrick Peterson, drafted in the first round by the Cards in 2011
Jerraud Powers, signed to a three-year free agent contract this offseason
Ronnie Yell, undrafted rookie
The sure starter
The one guy whose role we know for sure is Peterson is the number one corner. The team leans on him a lot simply to line up and defend the opponents' top receiver. After some struggles as a rookie, he made big strides in 2012, snagging seven interceptions. He was not quite the perfect "shutdown" corner, but he made strides towards that. He expects to be even better this year.
The battle for number two and number three
As of right now, three offseason acquisitions are in the mix for being the number two corner and nickel corner. Powers, who played for head coach Bruce Arians and is the one player signed long-term, is currently slotted as a starter. He does not have great stats and has a history of getting hurt. Behind him is currently Cason, who many consider starter material, but whose play has fallen off a bit. Behind him is Arenas, for whom the Cardinals traded their popular fullback, Anthony Sherman. Arenas has experience at nickelback and is also a valuable special teams player.
Veteran Bryan McCann has little experience on defense, but has done both punt returns and kick returns in his three previous seasons.
Possibly a wild card in the mix will be rookie Tyrann Mathieu, who is being groomed as a safety, but could easily become the nickel corner because that is the position he played in college. The ability to play both safety and corner, combined with his renowned playmaking skills could find him time in the slot.
The 2012 draftees
If there is something to be read by the acquisition of so many veterans at the position. Either the new coaching staff did not like what they saw on film from Fleming or Bethel in 2012, or they believe that they still need some developing. Fleming is the interesting story. He was moving up the depth chart and getting praises from previous defensive coordinator Ray Horton, but then apparently got complacent as Horton later criticized him for his maturity and complacency. In early offseason workouts, he was passed up on the depth chart by even Bethel, who was being developed at corner and a safety last season.
Bethel is now being used only at corner, but has made strides. He was a big time contributor on special teams last season, as he blocked several kicks in the preseason, was one of the gunners on the punt coverage team that set a record for punts down inside the 20 and he scored a touchdown after Adrian Wilson blocked a field goal.
Based solely on offseason workouts, it appears, at least for the moment, that Bethel is trending up and Fleming is trending down.
The undrafted rookies
Hill and Yell will be hard pressed to make the team, considering the veteran presence ahead of them and the fact that both Fleming and Bethel are 2012 draftees (although with a new coaching staff, their value may not be as high).
Stories/Battles to watch
The battle for CB2 will be one of the key positional battles. Will it be Powers or Cason, or will Fleming be able to battle his way back into the picture?
CB3 will also be one to watch.
Fleming will be an important player to watch. Where does he end up practicing? How much does he impress during actual preseason games? Is he a wasted potential? Is he being overlooked?
Roster predictions
I see six corners making the roster. Peterson, Powers, Cason, Arenas, Fleming and Bethel are all in. McCann and the undrafted guys are left on the outside. McCann's shot is as kick returner. Arenas, Fleming and Bethel all already have shown their worth on special teams. Perhaps either Hill or Yell gets the call back for the practice squad.

Seen Off Broadway: Standards in depravity have gone up—or down, depending on how you look at it. In 1965, Joe Orton's Entertaining Mr. Sloane lasted a total of 17 performances on Broadway before being run out of town by a lynch mob of appalled critics; 40 years later, after a couple of Off Broadway revivals and an obscure film version, it's back, with a marquee name in the cast and a typically polished Roundabout production, at the Laura Pels Theatre. Maybe too polished—set designer Allen Moyer has fit the show, snugly, into a box onstage, and early 60s tunes from the Beatles and other charter members of the British invasion play before and after curtain and during the intermission via John Gromada's Top of the Pops sound design. In his brief, meteoric career, Orton sought to blast through the kitchen-sink clichés of his era, but the new production, played as lightly as possible by an expert cast, is an almost quaint period piece, no matter if LD Kenneth Posner has framed the stage with a template of rubbish. Note, though, the "almost"—while more kid-gloves than was necessary this time out, Orton's farce retains its sting. The play suggests that the best way for the haves and have-nots to get along is not by practicing peace, love, and understanding, but by pooling ruthless self-interests into a mutually exploitative little collective and to hell with polite society.
And, if Scott Ellis has directed the cast a bit too forcefully to find the laughs, it must be said that the four-member cast gets them. The arrival of the amoral, larcenous, and possibly homicidal Mr. Sloane (Chris Carmack, a bad boy on TV's The O.C.) into crumbling lodgings outside of London triggers a chain reaction in the sleepy household—dotty middle-aged landlady Kath (Jan Maxwell) fancies him a substitute for the child she gave up for adoption 20 years ago, then just plain fancies him in a weirdly funny-disturbing incestuous scenario, while her father, Kemp (Richard Easton, reliable as always), standard-bearer for an empire-in-eclipse, suspects the worst. Kath's well-to-do brother, Ed (Alec Baldwin), is also startled; one gander at Mr. Sloane's buffed young chest (between this and The Pajama Game, Roundabout subscribers are getting an eyeful this season) reduces him to quivering lust, a sack of Jello in a suit immaculately tailored by Michael Krass. Seeming to me to ape the voice and mannerisms of Michael Redgrave, Baldwin is a riot, as he connives to get the lad out of the house and into black leather as his live-in chauffeur, but Kath (woozily and wittily played by Maxwell, in a frumpy Paul Huntley wig and dentures, and Krass' faded housewear) mounts an offense, as Mr. Sloane ever more brazenly offends.
Notwithstanding the slickness of the production, Moyer has done a fine job tarting up the stage, with a couch seemingly supported by the old newspapers stashed under it and a army of gnomes that Kath uses to gussy up the place (the most prominent one gets its own subtle key light, provided by Posner, who is otherwise engaged to be as withholding as possible with the sunlight-challenged illumination of the flat). Atlas Scenic Studios constructed the scenery, PRG provided the lights, and Masque Sound contributed the audio. I'm not sure what Orton, who was murdered in 1967, would have made of the Beatles music and the well-scrubbed dirtiness of this staging, but an entertaining Entertaining Mr. Sloan isn't the worst thing to have off Broadway.
Michael John LaChiusa, the talented composer behind the Public's excellent See What I Wanna See, doesn't lack for ambition, but, as with the turgid and dull Lincoln Center production Marie Christine (1999-2000), he can aim too high, and miss. Such is the case with his latest work for Lincoln Center, Bernarda Alba, which is playing at the Mitzi E. Newhouse. Federico Garcia Lorca's grim, allegorical play The House of Bernarda Alba, about the consequences of restrained passion, would not appear to be a likely candidate for musical treatment, and what's onstage doesn't suggest otherwise. The songs are thinly written and unmemorable, more like melodic Cliff Notes annotating Garcia's text than proper show music; the performances, outsized, when not simply stiff, and tending toward exaggeration.
The insurmountable problem is that Bernarda Alba, a tyrannical widow who traps her daughters in a period of extended mourning that ultimately warps their souls, is played by Tony-winner Phylicia Rashad, who even at her sternest projects a genuine warmth. This she disguises, poorly, by acting like Bette Davis in a 60's horror movie, hissing (and sometimes barking) the word "whore!", and rolling her eyeballs. And her singing lacks stamina. (Daphne Rubin-Vega, as Alba's most troublesome daughter, can sing, but has taken to channeling Jennifer Tilly for her diction.) Graciela Daniele, the director and choreographer, lightens the 90 minutes with a few flamenco steps and some business with the ten cane chairs arrayed on the spartan set, but fails to get the show, for all its good intentions, on its feet.
At the very least LaChiusa's shows provide interesting opportunities for designers, but there's little to seize here: Toni-Leslie James' elegant mourning clothes are uniformly styled in basic black; Christopher Barreca's walled set, a grimy white, is meant to evoke Alba's horse stable as much as her residence, a pen for children and animals; and Scott Stauffer's sound design acceptably renders the musicians, who are positioned in a row above the set. Only LD Stephen Strawbridge is allowed a bit of expressionism, with subtly dappled and patterned lighting alternating with occasional flare-ups into orange and red when passions rise in the Alba household. [Centerline Studios constructed the scenery, PRG provided the lights and Masque Sound the audio.] The design is functional and purposeful but, like the rest of Bernarda Alba, it lacks a certain basic appeal. --Robert Cashill

Proposals to lower speed limit to 20mph on Barnet Borough Council meeting agenda
Updated 3:40pm Monday 20th January 2014 in News By Anna Slater, Chief Reporter
Proposals for a 20 mile per hour speed limit around schools could be discussed at a council meeting tomorrow.
Barnet borough councillor Jack Cohen has proposed a motion about the local branch of the Twenty's Plenty campaign.
The Liberal Democrat representative for the Childs Hill ward believes the move would bring a host of benefits to the area, including encouraging people to walk or cycle to school.
He said: "People don't feel safe walking on our streets and around schools, so it's about time the council tackles this head on.
"It's a no brainer, and if we have 20mph zones it's a win-win situation. There will be fewer serious accidents.
"We should be helping mothers walk their children to school by slowing the traffic down - it's about time we take action."
Those backing the plans claim the measure will save lives, after statistics from the Department of Transport show it could reduce accidents by 60 per cent.
Cllr Cohen added: "This will also mean less cost on the NHS dealing with accidents and injuries, so we'll all benefit."
Last week, the proposals were discussed at the Finchley and Golders Green Residents Forum at the Crown Moran Hotel in Cricklewood.
The plans are supported by paediatrician Dr Justin Daniels, who spoke out in support of lower speed zones at the meeting.
He pointed out that there are five schools within a one-mile stretch on the East End Road, which is used by hundreds during the busy morning rush hour.
He said: "I have both seen and been aware of a number of accidents that have occurred in the road.
"Some are associated with speeding - others with poor driving. I would like to propose the whole length of the road and surrounding shoulders become a 20mph zone."
Mothers in Barnet and Haringey have also launched the Walksafe petition, urging for a lower speed limit around Coppetts Wood Primary School, Friern Barnet, and Coldfall School, Muswell Hill.
In October, they rolled out a makeshift zebra crossing on Colney Hatch Lane and help up posters campaigning for 20mph.
During tomorrow's council meeting, rail services in Barnet, academes and the cost of living will also be discussed.
It will be held from 7pm at Hendon Town Hall, in The Burroughs.
Cllr Dean Cohen said: "As Cllr Jack Cohen will be aware, a cross-party task and finish group has been established to consider the issue of 20mph limits and we will pay careful attention to the work of this group and its findings.
"We have always been happy to look at the option of 20mph limits on a case-by-case basis and remain so. In fact, in my time as cabinet member I have authorised 20mph roads in Cllr Jack Cohen's own ward."

It would seem sensible to look at speed but I hope it's only the relevant parts of the day and not during the vacations.

It's a good job it's a 'no brainer' since it takes some degree of brain power to know that the correct word to use is 'fewer' not 'less' accidents.
It would seem sensible to look at speed but I hope it's only the relevant parts of the day and not during the vacations.
Also better to only have 20 mph limits on side roads. Doing it on through-roads reduces the policital will to do it at all, anywhere.

Who dat? Turns out, no one.
Not Kurt Warner, not Brett Favre, or Peyton Manning. Not Eli Manning or Tom Brady during the regular season, either. The Saints went through a gantlet of quarterbacks this season, cranked up to 11 in the playoffs, and came out world champs.
They won a game few outside their rabid fan base thought was possible. And it was a beautiful mix of offense parlaying into defense, and vice versa.
They outcoached, and after the first quarter, outplayed the Colts to win the Super Bowl.
Sean Payton, Señor Huevos, made big call after big call. Going for it on fourth (a fail). Onside-kicking to open the second half (a major win). Taking a risk early and failing certainly did not deter him. The Colts, I felt, let the Saints dictate the play after taking control early. You simply can't let a team down 10 points call the shots the way they did.
Gregg Williams, riding his team like a master jockey, went to the whip several times. He coaxed (and coached) every iota of skill, guts and grit out of his defense, especially the back seven. He asked and received.
It was a fun game to watch. Seeing Manning get six plays in the second quarter and then, expecting to get the ball to open the third, having to gear down and watch the Saints go down and score. To me that was a huge deflation for him. And before that, seeing Pierre Garcon drop a sure third-down conversion to prevent a longer drive, that had to hurt badly.
As for the interception ... I believe that one is on Reggie Wayne. He had a bad, bad game. I expected him to have a huge one. Everything lined up for Wayne to have one of the best games of his career. But the Saints took it away from him, and he failed to cross the defender's face (I believe) on Manning's pick-six to Tracy Porter. I think Manning wanted Wayne to run a slant or some kind of in route, but he failed to finish off the route and looked confused. Have we ever seen that with those two? Not in the past few years, certainly.
Drew Brees looked tight early. I felt it. He was double-pumping, overthrowing, looking and acting nervously. But he shook it off quickly. It almost felt like he needed that Rocky punch to snap him out of it a little bit. He needed to take a shot or two (from the Colts' offense) to get into the game. And boy, did he ever. Brees was nearly flawless after the Saints' second drive. He spread the ball around perfectly, taking advantage of the Colts' Charmin-soft defense.
They did not come after him the way I thought. I really believed that Larry Coyer, especially getting a big lift from Dwight Freeney early and having taken away seven points on the fourth-down, goal-line stop. Freeney was a warrior early. He was whipsawing Saints OLT Jermon Bushrod on pure adrenaline early in the game, throwing Brees down on the gutsiest sack of the season from a three-man rush. But the Colts had to know that Freeney couldn't keep that up for another half. They should have known they had to blitz.
But they didn't, they so worried about the big play, keeping their safeties deep and playing their corners off the wideouts, that they played right into the Saints' hands.
Don't get me wrong: The Saints won this game as much or more than the Colts lost it. They were the better team today. They had a mental edge after that Manning touchdown drive in the third quarter.
And how about Garrett Hartley? Three 40-plus field goals? Underrated hero, for sure. Kickers are kickers, yeah, but the kid drilled three no-doubters and made Payton's decisions a lot easier through the game. His kicker was hot, so he had options every time the Saints crossed the 50.
Quite a game. So many lasting images from this one. A lot of great individual performances, but a total team win. We're getting spoiled with these entertaining Super Bowls after a few lean decades in the 1980s and '90s. Let's hope the owners take notice of what a great product they have when they consider the future of this league and the possibility of a lockout in 2011.
But for now, the nation belongs to the Who Dats. They earned it the hard way. Congrats, New Orleans.

Remember Me
DEAR EDITOR,This past June, the Ohio General Assembly passed House Joint Resolution 1 to ask Ohio voters whether the mandatory age of retirement for judges should be raised from 70 to 75. I voted for this resolution when it was in the House because I believe that no individual, through the muscle of the law, should be forced to retire simply because they have reached a certain age.Should farmers be forced to stop harvesting their crops, or small business owners forced to shut their doors on their 70th birthdays?Similarly, citizens should not be prevented from electing or reelecting a judge who just so happens to have reached the age limit of the law. Why should the government have the right to push a judge from the bench or block voters from deciding who should preside over their court cases?Although HJR 1 does not eliminate the mandatory retirement age entirely, it does increase the age by five years and takes into account the fact that people are living and working longer into the twilight years of their lives. It will help to ensure that we have the best individuals presiding over our courtrooms and interpreting the law.One of the criticisms that the Ohio General Assembly heard during the committee process was that there is no proof that an individual who reaches the age of 75 has the same mental capacity of a 70-year-old. However, there was no proof or evidence offered during the legislative debate that offered any counter argument that they are not the same mentally, physically or intellectually. I believe that whether someone is still capable of performing their judicial duties should be decided on a case-by-case basis, not a one-size-fits-all policy for everyone.HJR 1 passed from the General Assembly and therefore was added to the November ballot for the voters to decide. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to lend my support to this resolution in the House and help maintain our most experienced and capable public servants' right to continue working for the people of Ohio.Sincerely,State Representative Lynn Wachtmann

An up-to-date look at free software and its makers
Free software not only gives developers and users more freedom of choice, it can even help fight poverty: Gnusolidario supplies the Medical OpenERP solution to hospitals, and GOSM provides a free alternative to Google Earth.
Free software and humanitarian projects – this sounds like a good team. On one hand, poorer regions in particular do not have sufficient funds to purchase existing proprietary solutions. On the other, an ideal relationship exists between the idea of developing free software for everybody and voluntary aid for those in need.

With Cardinals starter Chris Carpenter out of the game after only four innings (and five runs), right-hander Joe Kelly took over in the bottom of the fifth.
Kelly preserved the Cardinals' four-run deficit, but it sure wasn't easy as the Giants seem to have finally found their home hitting sticks.
Buster Posey led off with a hit to right field, but was forced at second when Hunter Pence rapped into a fielder's choice. Brandon Belt singled, too, with Pence stopping at second. Gregor Blanco bounced a grounder to Allen Craig at first base; he had time to force Belt, but no more, leaving the Giants with runners at the corner with two outs.
Next up, Brandon Crawford picked on Kelly's first pitch and sent a laser toward left field but ...
Nice catch, Rook.
When the Giants took the field in the top of the sixth, Marco Scutaro was missing. He'd collected a couple of hits since Matt Holliday barreled into him in the first inning, but apparently the injury finally got to be too much, and Ryan Theriot has taken over at second base.

|CD of A to host State Regent
|Monday, September 09, 2013 12:00 AM
Catholic Daughters of the Americas Delphos Court is very excited to be hosting State Regent Margi Oller at its September potluck. Members and guests will meet at the KofC Hall at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday for the event. The organization is also welcoming new members at this event. CDofA members are reminded to bring a dish to share with the guests.
During the group's August meeting, local Regent Jennifer Craig gave a presentation on youth gathering to help those in need and the potential of expanding such groups throughout the area. The experience is not only very rewarding for those who need the extra help but also for those who were able to give of their time and talents to help the less fortunate.
A report was also received on the Lincoln Byway Bake Sale. The sale was a huge success and the money raised will be donated to several different causes.
The club also received word that one of the local winners in the Annual Poetry and Essay Contest, Adam Bockey, also was a national winner. Congratulations to Adam on this wonderful achievement.
Plans are also being put in place for the Fall "Ladies Game Night" to be held on Nov. 12. This event is open to the public and all are welcome to bring their favorite game to enjoy and evening of fun and fellowship.
