Related in a series of pieces that comprises dark elemental faerie tales, with religious gothic iconography, it procures a surreal balance between fiction and fact and equates the two factions as one and the same.
Hailing from Liverpool-England and now living and working in San Diego, CA-Davids art portrays dark, dogmatic Americana through the unsettling parochial corners of a Victorian kindergarten.

Why Do Democrats Oppose a Long-Term Student Loan Solution? Answer: 2014
Jul 1, 2013 -
Today rates on new subsidized Stafford loans double from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent. But it didn't have to be this way.

The Student Success Act: Empowering Parents
Jun 24, 2013 -

Boone County — As the temperatures begin to plummet and travel remains treacherous, law enforcement and emergency workers in Boone County continue to respond to numerous calls, including a tree smashing into a Zionsville home, and a woman in labor in Lebanon.
At 9:45 p.m., Zionsville Fire Department was sent to the 4400 block of Thicket Trace in Zionsville and a tree fell on a house, shattering the front window. No injuries were reported.
Then, just after 10 p.m., Whitestown Utilities blocked off Main Street after power lines fell into the street. Duke Energy responded to repair those lines. At 10:33 p.m. dispatch received a report of a vehicle that was buried with people inside in the 4400 block of East County Road 650 South in Whitestown.
At 11:10 p.m. Boone County EMS and at Lebanon Fire Department was called to a home in the 200 block of West Lakeshore Drive where a woman who was 39 weeks pregnant was in labor with contractions 3 to 5 minutes apart. Records show that help reached the home by 11:19 p.m., and the ambulance left for the hospital at 11:30 p.m. and arrived there four minutes later. Further details were not immediately available.
Boone County was declared to be in a snow emergency mid-day Sunday, but many people continued to attempt to travel, often with disastrous results.
Slide-offs and minor wrecks were reported all over the county throughout the day and night, including a county highway truck and three semis that went off the road at Ind. 32 at County Road 900 West, in Advance at 5:30 p.m.
As the night wore on and travel became nearly impossible, and other emergencies required response as well.
At 12:23 a.m. Monday, a call came from a Ford Escape SUV at Ind. 75 at County Road 700 S., Jamestown, where two adults and a child were stranded in the vehicle. Other reports of people stranded in vehicles came in earlier as well.

MT. VERNON – Local school officials have received the results of the Illinois 5Essentials Survey conducted earlier this year and will now analyze the data for planning purposes.
The state intends to publish the survey findings for all Illinois schools this October. In the mean time, administrators will study the results closely, said Wes Olson, principal of Mt. Vernon Township High School.
"My hope is that we are able to dig into the data and find some positive trends and areas of improvement," Olson said. "We'll use it for strategic planning purposes for the next school year."
The 5Essentials Survey is a requirement of the Illinois State Board of Education. The 2012-2013 school year was the first year of the program, and the electronic survey was conducted between Feb. 1 and mid-April of this year.
All sixth through 12th grade students and all pre-kindergarten to 12th grade certified teachers participated. The goal is to help local administrators identify strengths and weaknesses at their schools. Also, survey results may help inform state policy and improvement programs, according to the ISBE.
In the survey, schools are judged in five different categories – effective leaders, collaborative teachers, involved families, supportive environment, and ambitious instruction. The schools receive rankings in each category. The rankings include: very strong, strong, neutral, weak, or very weak.
MVTHS officials are not yet releasing their survey results. District 80, however, has made some preliminary results available.
"My first impressions were we had a pretty positive result," said District 80 Assistant Superintendent Aletta Lawrence.
District 80 received a "very strong" ranking in three of the five categories – effective leaders, collaborative teachers, and involved families, Lawrence said. In the other two categories, supportive environment and ambitious instruction, the district received a "neutral" designation.
Lawrence said she plans to analyze the results in more detail prior to the district's Aug. 2 administrators' retreat. However, at this point, she is "pretty pleased" with the initial findings.

5 Important Ideas to Impress a Quiet Philippine Girl
Philippine girls are known to be quiet, demure, and conservative. Most of the time, they'll just reward you with their alluring smiles dumbfounded. You might ask yourself, "How will I impress this type of woman?" They are not very vocal about what they want yet you're certain that they are expecting something from you, be it a gift, a gesture, or some positive words or praise maybe. You will need some tips regarding how to impress a quiet Philippine girl. Here are 5 tips that you ought to consider.
philippine dating site
Tip #1 - When it comes to material things, Philippine women aren't hard to impress. Of course, just like any other females around the globe, they are also impressed with cool cars, nice house, along with other expensive things. However, you can impress a Philippine woman by providing her simple gifts for example flowers, chocolates, or any other foods especially if you also bring something for their family especially their mothers.
Tip #2 - Impress them by visiting their property and taking time and exerting an effort to meet her family and also have a small talk to them. Going to a Filipina's house does not always mean you are going to marry her or you need to be seriously committed together with her. It is just a few showing respect on her parents. This can be done even if you're just on the getting-to-know-each-other stage. It is also a plus point should you be able to impress and build rapport with her family.
Tip #3 - Always behave like a gentleman. Don't let yourself be rude and act like an arrogant jerk. Even western females that aren't as sensitive compared to Filipinas will ditch you before you can finish saying "I'm a jerk". Be sweet and delicate and mild-mannered. Filipinas like men who treat them like princesses.
Tip #4 - These women will also be impressed with intelligence, educational background, and success in careers. You can drop an indication or casually state that you studied in one of the top universities inside your country or that you took up brain surgery when you were still attending college. Just keep it low. Do not brag about them. There's only a very little difference between simply talking about your achievements and bragging about the subject. Just be sure that you do the first. Of course, if have no achievements or successes, don't make up any stories and lie about yourself. Just conveniently forget to say those little details.
filipino girls
Tip #5 - Learn about the Filipino culture and then try to learn how to speak romantic Filipino phrases. Discover the Filipino translations for "you're beautiful" or "I love your smile". She will be amazed and glad that you know how to speak her language and it will make her think that you're serious about her. It's also best to greet her parents using Filipino greetings. This can really give you their approval and can provide you with the green light in dating their daughter.

•Cinema.Travel.People&Politics, From Somewhere In 3rd WoЯld Æmerica. ╭∩╮(︶︿︶)╭∩╮
March 10th, 2012
They're not building more schools for your children, or improving the conditions of the bad ones, or fixing America's crumbling infrastructure, NOPE, they're building more prisons for your children. A private prison management company is offering to buy prisons in exchange for a controversial GUARANTEE that the governments maintain a 90% occupancy rate for at least 20 years. The $250 million proposal, circulated by the Nashville-based Corrections Corporation of America to prison officials in 48 states, has been blasted by some state officials who suggest such a program could pressure criminal justice officials to seek harsher sentences to maintain the contractually required occupancy rates. "You don't want a prison system operating with the goal of maximizing profits," says Texas state Sen. John Whitmire, a Houston Democrat and advocate for reducing prison populations through less costly diversion programs. "The only thing worse is that this seeks to take advantage of some states' troubled financial position." Yet one more reason why my wife and I are not having children in this f'd up place. What a bleak future.

CATEGORIES Warner Brothers, Fandom, Distribution, Exhibition, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Movies, CinematicalI was compiling my tentative best-of-the-year list yesterday (there are three or four contenders I have yet to see, but a Cinematical deadline forced me to jump the gun), and surprised myself somewhat by how high I wound up placing The Dark Knight. I loved the movie back in the summer, but my tendency with these films is to geek out initially, then come to my senses after a few weeks. But The Dark Knight stayed with me after two theatrical viewings, and the Oscar campaign Warner Bros. is ramping up suddenly seems like serious business.
If anyone is still on the fence about the film -- or if, God forbid, anyone hasn't seen it -- you'll get another chance to check it out in theaters on January 23rd, according to a press release making the rounds yesterday. There was some speculation just this week that the planned January rerelease wouldn't include another IMAX appearance by The Dark Knight, but this isn't so. The nationwide rerelease will include both IMAX and regular theaters. This is good news for me, since I never got around to seeing the film in IMAX. Initially, I was afraid that Christopher Nolan's fondness for quick edits and choppy cinematography would make The Dark Knight a blur on the huge screen, but everyone says it's glorious, so I'll give it a shot.
Part of the motivation here is surely to have The Dark Knight surpass $1 billion in worldwide grosses, which it is less than $4 million from doing. It would only be the fourth film in history to do so. It is currently sitting $70 million behind Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, so it is likely to remain in fourth place for the time being.
Meanwhile, The Dark Knight hits DVD on December 9th. Will you go back to the theater in January?

Hey Jazz fans. I check your website often and its pretty good! I'm a Nets fan and I need your opinion about free agency. I'm not trying to start anything with an Jazz fans, due to the fact that the Jazz and Deron didn't end so well. I am actually rooting for them in the Playoffs. Glad they got in and are playing the Spurs, and I hope they beat them! (Not a big fan of the Spurs)
So, you guys as Jazz fans know a lot about Deron Williams. Your organization drafted him, and he spent a couple of years with the Jazz and you guys had some nice runs in the playoffs. I'm sure your fans know more about Deron than Nets fans, but what is your opinion about his free agency? Do you guys think he'll sign a max extension and stay with the Nets on their move to Brooklyn, or do you think he'll leave and go to Dallas or the Lakers?
Some reasons to stay: 1. New billion dollar arena, the Barclays Center. They have a chance to re-sign everyone and making a run in the playoffs. Only time will tell if that happens though. 2. They got some young talent including MarShon Brooks and Gerald Green. 3. Although you guys think Brook is awful for his lack of rebounding, he actually is a young talent with the ability to score the basketball. He only played in five games this year due to injury.
Some reasons to leave: 1. The Nets finished 22-44 this year, last in the Division, and 6th worst in the NBA. Deron wants to win, and the Nets did not do that this year. 2. Dallas and LA are in the playoffs and have a history of doing great things in the playoffs. On the other hand, the Nets do not. 3. Dallas is Deron's hometown, and he always enjoys playing in Dallas' arena (Forgot the name sorry about that)
So, what is your opinion about Deron Williams? Will he stay with Brooklyn or will he leave to another team?

Gentlemen -- after over 100 hockey games we stand here, today, in a very familiar location.
I know there are very few of you who have played in a winner-take-all game for the Stanley Cup, but we've all been there. As children, skating around ponds, community centers, practicing, honing our skills. We've all scored the championship clinching goal in backyards, basements, and on basketball courts.
Now, it's for real.
This is the one moment that has carried us through slumps at every level, endless injuries, tantrums and days when you just don't feel like getting your work in. This moment has been teasing everyone in this room for years. There's not one man here who's ached for this moment after playoff defeats and, worse, teams not even making it this far.
Now, it's upon us.
There's been countless words published about this game, this series. Every single word that's been read, posted on bulletin boards, mentioned either in or out of context, been analyzed among various experts on various networks is now completely irrelevant.
Now, it's our turn to write history.
Roberto -- tonight, there are not only going to be the thousands of people standing behind you, cheering you on, but millions of people who will stand with you, living and breathing in your successes and failures. You know what to do -- do not let these people down.
Hank and Danny -- You two finally got on the board Monday, that was good. However, tonight, we are going to do anything and everything to make your tallies stand up and produce silver. Fight as hard as you possibly can. We'll take care of you two.
Alex -- Do not, I repeat, DO NOT get sucked into the mind games of the Bruins. You're on the first line for a damn good reason. Play your game as hard as you can. You've been our man in overtime -- if we need to go there -- don't think for a second we won't go to you again. But only if you play your game, not theirs.
Kes -- Game time, big guy. Ohio State's taken a ton of shots in the media these past couple weeks -- what say you get people to notice what they do well tonight? Remember, Mase can't go tonight, so you and Chris have a toughie ahead of you. But I have confidence.
Tico -- Get out there and drill someone. But remember to use your head, don't take a bad penalty, and absolutely do not flip out.
Manny -- It's your time. You are now the spark in the Rogers Arena powder keg. Anything you do well will reverberate and spread throughout the entire team. Hopefully it gives us a boost. Can you imagine if you scored?
Sami -- I know your body's taken a lot of shots over the years. Tonight, it's time to put a final salve on all your wounds. Play the body. Get in front of it if he shoots quick.
Defenders -- Obstruct, don't destruct. Bobby Lu's great, but we've got to do our part and help him out. Play smart, get back.
Now that everyone's gone through their rituals, walked their seawalls, done things I can't possibly imagine, we come back here, into the moment that we've all imagined since we could barely lace 'em up. We've come a long ways to make this possible, gentlemen. We've played hard all year to get this one game... sixty minutes of hockey... And now we have it. In our house.
All I have to say is there's thousands of people out there who have the same dreams you do -- of winning a championship. They have only seen it happen in their heads and have no idea how to make it happen in real life.
Let's show them how it's done, proving to them -- and to you -- that every struggle is worth it, every bad day can topped with ultimate success, every bad injury can turn into something beautiful.
But most importantly, prove it to yourselves you are the best team on the ice.
Game time.

Music Performance, Piano, Trumpet
I am a trumpet instructor with global experience and an approach to learning that is encompassing and fun for all ages. I was born in Taiwan and have studied in both Asia and the U.S., where I last earned my Master of Music degree from the Peabody Conservatory of the Johns Hopkins University. Students have described me as someone who is out going, someone who is laid back and fun and someone who likes to listen and communicate with my students. I have been teaching trumpet and piano since sophomore at college, in private one-on-one lessons or as a trumpet sectional coach at elementary schools or middle schools.
I believe that being an educator is about the communication and the relationship that exists between a teacher and a student. The art of being a good educator exists in the difference of "speaking to" a student versus "speaking with." If you can build a good relationship with your student, the student will be more willing to listen and practice. My teaching style is one that is based on encouragement and creating a light-hearted atmosphere, although appropriate structure and pressure is applied with students performing or competing. My belief with learning music is that if you can foster their interest through the appropriate environment and encouragement, they will naturally spend time to practice; therefore, I like using a fun but structured environment to foster the student's own interest to improve.
In my musical career, I had plenty of opportunities for performing when I was at Soochow University, including performing at the National Concert Hall each semester. I was admitted to the Soochow University Orchestra and Wind Ensemble as a principal trumpet since my junior year, which was when I had the chance to performed as solo trumpet in Pictures at an Exhibition at the well-known Musashino Academia Musicae during our concert tour in Japan. It was a great challenge for me both on developing the skills needed on the piccolo trumpet or training to be a soloist. In addition to having performed in orchestras and ensembles, I was also invited by composition teachers in school to perform their new works, which earned me a lot of experiences on interpreting contemporary works as well as playing chamber music.
Furthermore, not satisfied with the excellent performance as a soloist, I participated in any kinds of performances both on and off campus, including playing at the National Concert Hall and places around Taiwan on a regular basis within a semester. In 2004, when I was in college, I performed with the Soochow University Orchestra in a concert tour around the country; and in 2005 I was a member of the China Youth Band and performed with the group for its tour to the WASBE (World Association for Symphonic Bands and Ensembles) in Singapore. In 2005 I was admitted to Taipei Symphonic Winds (TSW) and I once again performed with the National Taiwan Normal University Winds Band during its concert tour around the country. In 2006 I performed with the TSW during the concert tour to Macau and Guangzhou, China. In October, 2006 I held my own trumpet recital. In 2007 I performed Pictures at an Exhibition with Soochow University Orchestra at Musashino Academia Musicae. I also took the Soochow university concerto competition and placed into the final round. In 2008 I held my second trumpet recital; in the same year I formed a brass quintet and we were actively involved in the local community doing charity performances. We had regular performances at hospitals, nursing homes, orphanages and many of other places. In 2008 I was enlisted and performed in the Ministry of National Defense Symphony Orchestra as my military service. In 2010 I started my studies at Peabody Conservatory at Johns Hopkins University in my Master of Music degree.
*** Lesson Details ***
My teaching style is one that is based on encouragement and creating a light-hearted atmosphere, although appropriate structure is applied and pressure exerted when needed. My belief with learning music is that if you can foster student's interest through the appropriate environment and encouragement, they will naturally spend time to practice; therefore, I like using a fun but structured environment to foster the student's own interest to improve.
For trumpet students, I basically focus on fundamental skills. Trumpet is a tough instrument to play: it only has three keys but has to play a wide register like other instruments. It is common for students to get bored with playing basic etudes, therefore I would award them by teaching pop songs or whatever pieces they like for meeting the week's progress. I normally teach classical trumpet, marching trumpet and beginner's jazz trumpet.
For piano students, I teach students to be familiar with the keys and intervals and also hands position for the beginners. In my view, it is very important to sing notes and play the piano at the same time because it benefits key memorization and fosters a students' sense of music. With the piano, I believe that building the proper fundamentals sets the proper pace for future growth and musical interest.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Living room: Trumpet lessons only, music stands, chairs, additional seating for parents if needed. No piano at home studio
*** Travel Equipment ***
Trumpets, metronome, tuner, staff paper

I would describe my method of teaching as using constant encouragement to get results from my student. As an example, for my younger students, I would use a score-based system where I award them with a sticker for meeting each week's progress. You can trade in your stickers for various prizes. The style I specialize in is in the classics. Even though my focus has been on classical trumpet and classical piano, I also include pop music, because it appeals to a different audience who find it relevant and fun. My belief is that no matter what genre you choose to play, the foundation is the most important element to master first, so that's where I focus on.

I am a professional musician who enjoys helping young people reach their musical goals. I perform regularly as a solo act and play with a band at various hotels in Chicago. I went to Millikin University in Decatur for music where I toured the country and played and sang in the top ensembles. I also studied at the Music Industry Workshop in Chicago for music production and engineering. My goal is to help you learn the songs you love and show you how to make the technical side of music more fun than you ever imagined!
*** Lesson Details ***
You can expect a laid back atmosphere that is very productive. I use a custom curriculum that is catered to the needs and desires of the individual. Whether you would like to be a concert pianist, a jazzy horn player, or someone who wants to rock out to your favorite tunes, I have resources and experience to help you reach your goal. After three months you can expect to competently play a couple great songs and have greater fluidity and technique on your instrument.
*** Studio Equipment ***
The In-Studio lessons are taught in a recording studio which includes music stands, keyboards, piano, amps, acoustic guitar, and seating available. Parking on the street.
*** Travel Equipment ***
Students will need the instrument of their study and their purchased study materials. If the student is taking piano, they will need an 88 key weighted keyboard or a piano.
*** Specialties ***
I specialize in jazz, but can teach classical, pop, rock, funk, blues, salsa, bossa nova etc.
Guitar, Music Performance, Music Theory, Piano, Trombone, Trumpet
A bachelors degree in music ed and 20+ years of playing and performing experience comes with you to every one of our lessons. Whether it be on trumpet, guitar, or piano I will consistently stress fundamentals that lead students towards the musicians they strive to be. I feel incorporating music that is relevant to the student and his or her goals is paramount and doable! I will always demonstrate the techniques and ideas I espouse. Lastly, I show my students the joy music has put in my life and in turn, show them how to play music towards the same ends.
*** Lesson Details ***
Lessons are typically broken up into 5 main parts
1) physical technique and warm up
- this refers to the mastery of the physical movements involved in playing the instrument
2) vocabulary practice (either by reading and/or by ear)
- scales
- chords
3) reading
- sight reading
- prepared reading
4) learning to play by ear
- song transcription and analysis
5) warm down and re-emphasis of key concepts
*** Studio Equipment ***
The teacher's home studio lessons are taught in the front room of the house. There is an acoustic piano, an electric piano, a music stand, stereo, guitar, amp, laptop, trumpets, books, and seating are all available.

*Teachers marked as a Student Favorite have taught a minimum of 25
lessons and have received the highest feedback rating from students.I can improvise proficiently and understand music theory very well
At an early age, I was exposed to a variety of music including Motown, Rhythm & Blues, Rock & Roll, Hip-Hop, Latin, and the Blues. The early influences of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Otis Redding, The Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, and Howlin' Wolf, kept me singing. I held my first concert at age 4, singing songs of the Tempations.
I began playing the trumpet when I was seven years old. So I've been playing for 17 years now. I've been classically trained from the beginning. While in junior high school, I began venturing into the world of jazz, sharpening my lead trumpet and improvisation skills with focused attention and everlasting curiosity.
I attended Homewood-Flossmoor High School and toured Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic as section leader in my school's Symphonic Band and lead trumpet and soloist of our award-winning jazz band.
I then attended the University of Pittsburgh, where Nathan Davis (formerly of Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers) is the head of the Jazz Department. This was a priceless environment for me, as it allowed me to form my own musical identity through rigorous scholastic study as well as my own personal study. I had the pleasure of playing with Jazz legends and giants such as Roger Humphries and Sean Jones, and learning from Leon Lee Dorsey (formerly of Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers).
Since graduating with a Music, Jazz Concentration Degree, I have been performing as a bandleader and sidesman throughout the Chicagoland area. My trio enjoys regular gigs at Flavor Restaurant, putting on invigorating shows in an intimate setting. I have played with my quartet at Andy's Jazz Club, as well as with Jim Holman's group. I've also performed at several Friday night jazz sets in "Trio's Restaurant and Jazz Club" in South Bend, Indiana, amongst many other venues.
My album, "The New Standard Vol. 1" is also doing well, gaining exposure and popularity.
Along with my performance experience, I have a passion for sharing knowledge and bouncing ideas. Since I have learned from the masters of music, I am well-prepared to guide students toward their own musical identities and goals.
*** Lesson Details ***
My goal, as I said earlier is to guide students toward their own musical identities. This is so important because when a musician is playing or writing the music that they love, the music that naturally comes out of them, they enjoy a deep connection with that music and their audience can feel the music coming straight from their soul. No jivin'... they believe it.
Lessons Include:
Trumpet Conservatory Method
Proper Posture and Breathing
Rhythm Studies
Listening to music
Ear Training
Music Theory
Sight Reading
*** Studio Equipment ***
Piano, Stereo for Improvisation Practice, Arban's Book, Clarke Books
*** Travel Equipment ***
I provide copies of pages that will be used for lessons and they are for the student's keepsake. I expect them to buy the Arban's book.
*** Specialties ***
Jazz, Classical, Blues, Funk, Rock, R&B
I studied from Clarke and Arban's books a lot.
I also studied a lot of Clifford Brown.

Daniel, a former faculty member of Columbia College in Chicago, is a studio and live performance singer and musician based in Chicago. His teaching and performing experience spans three decades, and includes expertise in the studies of voice, guitar, piano, bass, drums, and trumpet, along with music theory, arranging, and composing. He is a Lincoln Academy Student Laureate who holds a BA in Music Composition, and has attended graduate courses in education at Roosevelt University and DePaul University in Chicago. He has taught students of all ages at private studios, public school, and college.
Daniel is described by his students as a natural teacher. He prefers to be regarded as an advancing student, and takes the journey along with his students to guide them towards their goals with a friendly, positive, efficient and productive approach. He feels that music is within all of us, and a desire to learn is a sign of talent, so anyone can develop their musical abilities with methodical practice.
The musical journey for Daniel began at an early age with trumpet and piano studies which became a passion for him by the age of 14. He was the drum major of the high school marching band, and successfully completed a paid contract to arrange music for the high school jazz band which performed in a state beauty pageant. He began teaching privately after high school, and continued playing in bands, and composing original music. He formed a professional jazz ensemble under the name of the Chicago Jazz Players by the age of 22, and developed his arranging techniques while having it performed by an eighteen piece orchestra consisting of many great local artists. It was in this environment that he gained experience with brass, woodwinds, and rhythm instruments. He was granted a position at Columbia College as an instructor at age 29 where he taught theory, sight singing, musicianship, ear training, harmony, orchestration, and composition. He scored the music for several plays, and conducted his own pieces with Chicago Symphony and Lyric Opera Players. During those years he found himself playing the guitar and singing more than anything else. It was in 1995 that he focused on singing and playing the guitar with his rock band. He has produced several CD recordings of his original music in his own studio, and has helped produce local bands and artists. He performs regularly in the Chicago area.
*** Lesson Details ***
Daniel exhibits patience and care with each student, and develops an individualized approach based on clear goals with practical procedures. Most beginners can expect to have a working knowledge of music notation and how it applies to their instrument within three months, and should be developing fluency in performing music that they enjoy within six months. Advancing students will enjoy the rewards that will follow by studying with an experienced teaching musician that will recognize strengths and weaknesses, and recommend proven techniques for personal musical development. Studying music should be fun, fulfilling, and in harmony with the needs and desires of the student, and this is key to the philosophy held by Daniel.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Eight track recording gear; grand piano; guitars/bass (acoustic & electric); cables/amps, drum kit and percussion.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I can provide lesson materials, and always have a metronome with me. I expect the student to have an instrument. I prefer that a student has a music stand.

Hi, my name is Voytek and I love music! I currently do over 200 shows a year and in addition to performing as a soloist, I play in 2 gigging ensembles. Thanks to music, I've been able to meet many incredible people and travel all over the world to Germany, New York, Switzerland, Washington DC and the Dominican Republic. My goal is to inspire my students and share with them my passion for music so they can also experience how wonderful and rewarding it really is. Let's rock some jams!
*** Lesson Details ***
While teaching lessons, I like to keep the atmosphere relaxed but productive. I utilize many proven traditional teaching techniques (for example: scales, theory, exercises, drills and prepared pieces) however, I also try to keep things fresh with fun backing tracks and music theory games to keep students engaged. I am also very flexible and open to suggestions, so I encourage students to ask questions and let me know if they want to learn a specific song or musical concept.
*** Studio Equipment ***
The studio is equipped with a 76-key keyboard, drum set, music stands, recording equipment and a PA system. Plenty of parking available, either in the driveway or on the street.
*** Travel Equipment ***
In order to teach at a student's home I will need a quiet room/area where we can concentrate on our studies. If the student is taking drum or piano lessons, they will need a drum kit or piano/keyboard. Also, a boombox/CD player may be necessary if we need to play with some backing tracks.

I recently enjoyed a week in my hometown of St. Louis, Missouri, with my family. Usually, when I visit the best city in the country (my own personal opinion there), I only have a few days in which to squeeze in trips to my favorite restaurants, a little rest and relaxation, outings with relatives and an evening or two with old friends. So it was wonderful to have a little more time.

Their prominence is justified. The OGP will become a magnet for cynicism unless there is safe cover for those who will make it work or fail - whistleblowers on the front lines of fraud, waste and abuse currently sustained through secrecy and enforced by repression.

Motherfuck. Motherfucker. Mutherfuckers!!!! Good god was that awful. I mean, fun to watch, but many of us took fucking baths last night. It was my lowest score ever on PG. I fell out of the top 3 spots in the camp and lost 20 spots in the site's overall rankings. My team, in our final act of self-sabotage, kidnapped Hail Mary and beheaded her on Al-Jazeera by only having 5 scores over 40. Rollo and pridedaze 09 each scored a 5. That's right, 5. Total. Five. Cinco. V. There's only one difference- Rollo only picked 2 fights, pridedaze picked all of them. I know that pridedaze is a new father, and he must be sleep deprived and dealing with a post-partum wife who's acting like a crazy person, but where's Bonedoctor when you need him? (kidding pridedaze-go get some sleep and kill it on 140).
Also, I'd like to address something since a number of people have expressed dissatisfaction over it. Lowell didn't get his picks in on time at PG. So, he took a proactive approach and posted his picks in a fanpost and in an email to me hours before the event started. I allowed this for a few reasons:
1) the big problem with missing picks isn't that it fucks with your individual cumulative score, but that everybody else in the competition has no way of determining your score. If someone takes steps to mitigate the fact that PG will have no score for you and I'll have no way of knowing what your picks were- then to me, they've satisfied the requirement of not missing the event.
2) The guys who put their scores in there prior to the event have been here for all 8 events, and this was a different event, what with the 2 day turnaround between the announcing of the full card and the locking of the event. I know that the vast majority of us had no problem doing this, but enough people who have been solid throughout the comp missed to where it was apparent that an incident like this is not what the missing picks rule was created to stop. In the same vein, StevenGiles, who posted his picks in that thread, but 45 minutes after the start of events has to go. Sorry Steven... (paulo filho's psichiatrist is also gone- via con dios ya crazy bastard).
3) This will not be a viable method of getting picks in in the future. I don't want this to become a crutch that people rely upon, but we're still working on how to deal with the drop-out situation for next season (starting on 12/30).
Depending on the context, I'm typically more a pragmatist than a man of principle, and I'd rather find ways to keep people in the competition than look for reasons to get them out. Maybe I'm reacting subconsciously to the fact that it's more work to find a replacement than keep someone in, but I think that I've booted enough people out of this game (even when I had no computer) under the letter of the law to show that I'm not adverse to the work. But, I'm not perfect either, just doing the best I can. We'll all make this better every season as we go through it and learn from the various, utterly unpredictable situations that arise when computers as complex as humans interact.
UFC 140 is the last event boys! Let's finish this strong and do it right. Season 2 starts a mere 20 days later.
Alright- enough red tape. Onto the results.

The Vermont House has given preliminary approval to the end-of-life choices bill, after a debate that stretched late into the night.
The legislation would allow those with less than six months to live to seek a lethal dose of medication from a doctor. The bill has a number of restrictions designed to ensure that patients are of sound mind and making the request willingly.
It goes before a final vote Wednesday. If it does pass, the next hurdle would be in the Senate, which already passed a stripped-down version of the bill.

Melrose Place is the Fox television show that captured the hearts and minds of Generation X'ers. It is a hip, fashionable show aimed at teenagers and twenty-somethings. Everybody has perfect hair, houses, faces, figures, careers and clothing. Who can resist this appeal? I unabashedly admit to being an avid watcher and die-hard fan. To some people's surprise (or dismay), I am one of many.
The attraction I feel toward this program isn't only superficial. Monday after Monday I witness the trials and tribulations of the denizens of the luxury apartment complex. I find myself moved by their various storylines, and looking at what they're wearing is only a fringe benefit.
One of my favorite things is the constant cracking of insults. In one episode, Amanda tells a spoiled Brooke: "Why don't you do all of us a favor and wise up." Later, when Brooke confronts Alison about an alleged rendezvous with her father, Alison remarks: "If you're so interested in other people's sex lives there are 976 numbers for that."
Some disregard "Melrose Place" as mind-numbing foolishness. I'm not completely blind to that criticism. The storylines are sometimes too fast-paced for my satisfaction. For instance, one character was diagnosed with and cured of cancer in three weeks. Another one was falsely accused of murder one week and acquitted the next. These quick-fixes to seemingly impossible problems are not all too disheartening. If "Melrose Place" closely resembled real life, who would want to watch it? .

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- A fire left a gaping whole in the heart of historic downtown Shelbyville. The property owner has changed his mind and wants to rebuild -- there's just one thing standing in his way.
Some people in Shelbyville say they don't know what's worse -- the sight of a raging fire tearing through the heart of the historic downtown, which had Mayor Tom Hardesty saying, "Immediately my heart sank," or the burned-out hole it left behind where four buildings once stood.
There's nothing left there but a pile of bricks. The owner said he was going to wash his hands of the place and sell the land, but now he's come up with a new idea.
Jim Reynolds owns three of the four properties that were destroyed, and says it's, "Kind of going to be a little retail office slash, hopefully, a restaurant."
Reynolds is still waiting for insurance settlements, though he's already pitched preliminary sketches on new ideas to the historic district and the mayor.
Mayor Hardesty says, "We need small viable businesses in our downtown we don't need vacant parking lots like this."
And Fred Rogers of the Shelbyville Historical District says, "We'd like to see something in the neighborhood of $15,000 or so that we could reinvest or co-invest."
Just as things started to look up -- another fire of sorts to put out. Reynolds explains, "They own one of the lots between my two properties and we had talked about purchasing it from them and then maybe later down the road selling back to them after we got the building built."
The family behind Fiesta Mexicana owns the fourth property and wasn't interested in Jim's deal. City leaders say they're already turning a vacant Chinese restaurant into their new location elsewhere in town but wanted to hold their investment there.
Reynolds says the last two months have been like a roller-coaster: "You got your highs, your lows, your ups, your downs. After the fire I was ready to give up and then I got inspired -- and you know, just hit a few brick walls."
Reynolds says insurance investigators have not yet found the exact cause of the fire. Shelbyville fire officials do not think it's arson.
No one from Fiesta Mexicana could be reached for comment on our story.

Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre threw three interceptions in a 28-24 loss to the Green Bay Packers. He's hurting physically and after the game his coach threw him under the bus wondering why he was going against the game plan. Oh, and he's in the midst of an NFL investigation.
It's been a rough week for Favre. He said on Sunday after the Packers downed the Vikings that he feels like he let everyone down.
"For me, it's devastating," Favre said. "I don't know how else to put it. I take a lot of pride in ownership in all phases of the game. When you have the ball in your hands . . . you just feel like you let everybody down."
With three picks in a tight game that's probably what Favre should feel like. The Vikings are now in serious trouble at 2-4 and much of the blame, particularly in this game, can be traced back to Favre.
SB Nation's Daily Norseman is talking about the game and, like any good set of fans, are confident that this thing isn't over yet.

Pattern #111 from Burda World of Fashion 3/2009
A yoked armhole princess jacket with patch pockets and half belt detail in the back.
The sleeve vents were a detail I added, modeling them off of two RTW jackets in the closet. The corduroy has a real vent with real (uncut) button holes on it. Then you sew the buttons on top of the holes closing the vent together. The lining has no vent and is sewn over top the over lapped fabric on the inside.
Jacket -Thick waled corduroy in a subtle green color bought from (now closed) Fabrications in Kennett Square
Lining – Plum Vera Wang Designer Silky Polyester lining from Fabric.com

Ever since the Alaska Department of Natural Resources (DNR) updated its Bristol Bay Area Plan for land use management in 2005, there has been debate about what should and should not be considered the best use of the land. And as the proposed Pebble Mine became clearer in scope, some Bristol Bay residents became more and more concerned about what the plan's revisions were designed to accomplish.
In 2009, several tribes and entities in the region filed suit against the 2005 plan, which covers some 12.6 million acres of above-ground and 6 million acres of submerged and tideland in the region. An agreement reached with the plaintiffs called for DNR to address errors found in the plan and consider other issues raised by the plaintiffs.
Fast-forward to January: DNR completed this process, releasing the revised plan to the communities in the region for public comment. The response, by-and-large, was negative. One group of citizens came up with its own plan, which contains lots of co-designated lands, habitat designations, and far fewer lands designated for mineral development.
When the state concluded its public comment period, it held a series of meetings in Bristol Bay communities to discuss the plan. Instead, some residents, riled by a now-contentious fight against plans to develop a large-scale gold, copper and molybdenum mine in the Bristol Bay watershed, turned out to protest what many saw as an attempt by the state to make it easier to permit mining and disregard other uses, like subsistence hunting and fishing upon which many depend.

SILVER SPRING, Md., Oct. 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today warned consumers to use extreme care when purchasing any products over the Internet that claim to diagnose, prevent, treat or cure the H1N1 influenza virus. The warning comes after the FDA recently purchased and analyzed several products represented online as Tamiflu (oseltamivir), which may pose risks to patients.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090824/FDALOGO )
One of the orders, which arrived in an unmarked envelope with a postmark from India, consisted of unlabeled, white tablets taped between two pieces of paper. When analyzed by the FDA, the tablets were found to contain talc and acetaminophen, but none of the active ingredient oseltamivir. The Web site disappeared shortly after the FDA placed the order. At the same time, the FDA also purchased four other products purported to diagnose, prevent, treat or cure the H1N1 influenza virus from other Web sites.
These products contained various levels of oseltamivir but were not approved for use in the United States. Several of the products purchased did not require a prescription from a health care professional. Additionally, the products did not arrive in a timely enough fashion to treat someone infected with the H1N1 influenza virus, or with an immediate exposure to the virus.
"Products that are offered for sale online with claims to diagnose, prevent, mitigate, treat or cure the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus must be carefully evaluated," said Commissioner of Food and Drugs Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D. "Medicines purchased from Web sites operating outside the law put consumers at increased risk due to a higher potential that the products will be counterfeit, impure, contaminated, or have too little or too much of

Gabriel Campillo, new WBA Light Heavyweight Champion
Last night, Gabriel Campillo beat Hugo Garay for his WBA version of the light heavyweight strap. This makes Campillo the first Spaniard to win the light heavyweight title. Campillo managed to win a very tight decision (115-114, 114-114, 114-113) in Garay's hometown. Not half bad for a late replacement. A couple weeks ago, Campillo was supposed to fight Cuban prospect Luis Garcia, but Garcia got cold feet and pulled out. Already having trained, the natural super middleweight Campillo got his first title shot when David Gogiya pulled out of his fight against Garay last week. Evidently, Garay came out strong for the first six rounds, and when he started to gas out, Campillo took over the fight with his superior boxing skill. Campillo, a southpaw, was the European Super Middleweight champ, having beaten Lolenga Mock and having a close and disputed loss to Karo Murat.

Curbing the Bad Habit of Nose Picking
Most kids are obsessed with their body parts -- especially holes like the nose, mouth, or ears -- yet picking can be a nuisance to parents, and embarrassing when done in public.
There are some health consequences to picking as well, such as trauma when a fingernail scratches the skin inside the nose, says pediatrician Ari Brown, M.D., author of "Toddler 411" and "Baby 411." Picking can also lead to impetigo, a skin infection around the nostrils.
While it's hard to control what your child does when he is sitting in his car seat or at naptime, you can try to limit this fascinating activity when you're around.
Always have tissues on hand and offer them up when your child starts to pick. Be consistent, but be low-key about it (paying it too much attention might encourage your child to pick to get a reaction). You can also put petroleum jelly in the lining of the nostrils to keep them moist and reduce the risk of nosebleeds -- and to act as a deterrent to curious little fingers!
