- Food is spectacular, not for groupsSunshinationDined on 10/19/2014The food was great, and the service was very attentive, but the food was slow. I think it was because we had 8 people for brunch. My boyfriend and I will be coming back, but just the two of us, since we'll get our food faster.Special Features:
- Very small servings but tastyOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/15/2014My filete was super small piece of monk fish, with a few spoonfuls of lovely risotto, and about 10 green beans. My guests enjoyed the Champignon and Artista. It is expensive and very small entres and you really need a starter or salad to begin to be full. I have enjoyed the mussels on other visits. Or plan on dessert...but not the cheescake, it was not cheesy or rich, we did not care for it. I am told the apple tart is good.Special Features:
- Surprise FindFindingFoodDined on 10/13/2014We were visiting town while house hunting and looking for a non-chain place to eat on a Monday night. We were taking a new coworker out, so wanted to be sure the experience was nice. The reviews looked great for Cafe Malta, so I placed a reservation through OpenTable. When we pulled up to the strip mall location, I thought "I hope this works out". The minute we walked through the door, we were greeted by amazing smells and a beautiful ambiance. The staff was friendly and the the food wonderful. Service was prompt, and we will definitely be making Cafe Malta the "neighborhood gem" that we bring visitors once we complete our move to the Austin area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GettingThereDined on 10/12/2014disappointed in sauces particularly bechamel and maltaise. Seem to be too portion controlled or missing. Nothing that said WOW, I'll come here again, but Pleasant and OK. Mimosa's OK, nothing exceptional.Special Features:
- Especially EnjoyableOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 10/10/2014This was my first trip to Cafe Malta with more to come. My daughter and I had an awesome meal with very good drinks and outstanding food. Our server was fast and efficient and never far away. While the restaurant was busy with a couple of large groups we never felt rushed or delayed. I had the ahi with shrimp special and wow what exceptional flavors. the ahi was cooked perfectly. The salad with sweet potatoes is a new twist and very good with a very light lemon vinegarette dressing. The chocolate creme brulee was a new version and left me wanting more. Please increase the dessert size. We completely enjoyed our experience and I will definitely make this one of my future stops when traveling from San Antonio again.Special Features:
- Secret Go-To Date SpotmadOwlDined on 10/3/2014Living near Westgate/Brodie area this has been a favorite go-to location for a last minute date. The menu has items to satisfy non-meat eaters too such as my wife. We always get there between 5-7pm and are able to get a table. However it can get very busy and has a local cult following so you might want to grab a reservation. I've always really enjoyed the farm to table style food and the great drinks and specials as well as the service. Just enough variety to keep me coming back. I've always thought it was a good value too. Our bill is always less than other date spots.Special Features:
- Great first visit for a good priceWayborgDined on 9/28/2014This restaurant came highly recommended by my wife, who with colitis, has a difficult time finding places that can accommodate her diet. We each had the Lombatello salad with hanger steak. The steak was cooked just as I had requested and the gorgonzola aioli dressing was a wonderful compliment to the salad greens. And for us, the water being served in a wine bottle with small glasses was reminiscent of our memorable vacation in Albania. To top it off, I thought this meal came at a very reasonable price for the quality of food that was served. I am looking forward to future visits to try other items on their menuSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Find.RevlimiterVIPDined on 9/20/2014We were very happy to find this neighborhood gem thru Open Table. Great food and service. We will definitely be back. Also very reasonably priced bringing a great value but even without that, we would highly recommend.Special Features:
- ExcellentOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/19/2014Brisket ravioli with pesto and the special of the day, crispy skin grilled fish were both excellent. Service was very attentive but respectful. Waiter recommendations were spot on.Special Features:
- What a find!MadrilenaDined on 9/17/2014We have dined at Cafe Malta a number of times and it has always been fabulous. Their menu changes seasonally and there are a few choices that are always offered. It is one of our favorites.Special Features:
- amazing as alwaysfoodieATXDined on 9/16/2014Cafe Malta is my favorite neighborhood restaurant. This was my first time going to a wine pairing dinner there and they didn't disappoint. Everything paired perfectly except the dessert. The flan was good. The wine was good,but they just didn't work that well together. I would still recommend Malta to anyone that loves food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, good serviceMarine782VIPDined on 9/12/2014We have eaten here a few times and the food and service are always first class. Not a huge menu so the chef is able to provide outstanding dishes that will probably match most everyone's tastes. The mussels are fantastic and one order easily serves two people. I also recommend the brisket stuffed ravioli along with a cold Italian beer. A nice, friendly neighborhood type restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved everything about it!Mandy24Dined on 9/5/2014Happy hour food and drinks were amazing (and really well priced)! Table service was also incredible. Our waitress was so great and she really knew the menu and what to suggest. The service was so quick and the menu looked amazing. We ordered a bunch of things off the menu and shared, which was a very smart choice. Each dish came with more then enough for just one person, but not too much to be a total waste.Special Features:
- We Found the Sweet SpotHokeyDined on 9/2/2014We usually go to the Tour de Forks event but it was always crowded. We'd set the reservation around 7:30pm usually. This time, however, it was booked so we went earlier. It's the best time to go. If you are there between 6-7 for Tour de Forks, you're also in their happy hour. So you can get some drinks during the meal for happy hour prices.Special Features:
- Dessert left a "dry" finishCharityDined on 9/2/2014Hey guys, This is the 4th time we've attended tour de forks, and I'm starting to see a pattern... not a good one. Every time we go, the meal is amazing! The apertif is delicious, and the 3 main courses are all very tasty, however each time, we've all felt the dessert has been lacking. Y'all have this tremendous opportunity to send us away full and content, but at each of the meals, the dessert has been dry, heavy and almond~y. Now, I know almonds are a staple of the Mediterranean, but Every. Single. Dessert. Dry, heavy and almond~y. No thanks. We are hoping when we come for Lebanon, dessert will leave us saying, ahhhhh, instead, uhhhhh. One more suggestion... perhaps the apertifs could be offered as a happy hour drink special??
- No chainsnochainsDined on 8/31/2014Wonderfully flavored dishes in a very pleasant environment. Service was attentive but not overly so. A small yet varied menu. Make sure you get a reservation as the place is intimate and always full.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fab!MandyDined on 8/30/2014Love coming to this south austin gem! Thank you for the great food and service! Can't wait to come back!!!!Special Features:
- I like it a lotPizzaMan49Dined on 8/23/2014The server was attentive, the cheese plate charming and the dinner delicious. Best risotto I've had!Special Features:
- No chainsnochainsDined on 8/21/2014Superb food. The chef really knows how to bring out flavored. Excellent value and variety on the menu. Great bar as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingMarkVIPDined on 8/16/2014Cafe Malta was highly recommended by a friend. As an appetizer I ordered the lamb stuffed squid that was the special . Taste and quality poor. Took a long time to come out and when it did it was cold. My husband ordered the chicken which was served raw in th middle. The waitress finally came by and my husband told her the chicken was not cooked. She said sorry took our plates and came back with desert menus. We were taken back that she did not offer to bring another chicken plate or something else so we just asked for the check. To top it off she charged us for the raw chicken that my husband did not eat. We told her we would not be paying for that plate. Owner came over and apologized and made adjustment. Won't go back.
- Time to Waste!OpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 8/11/2014This place always has good food. The biggest problem is the ticket time. When my Wife and I are the only ones in the restaurant and they still have a 35 minute ticket time there is a problem. We love this place for the quality of the food and the prices are great. But when we come in at 11:00 AM and are the only guests in the restaurant and we order a Medium Rare Malta Burger and the Linguini and it talks 35 minutes there is a problem. (Not to mention) the burger was "well done" & the frits were half cooked at best. Great food, Great atmosphere. But if your have a short lunch this is not the place for you. My only question is what happens when they have several guest in at one time? 1 hour ticket time?? We will probably go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- yoginiDined on 8/8/2014not my cup of tea. strange fogettable food. very salty. loud. This was my 3rd and final time to try this restaurant. I really want to like it because I know the owner.
- Creative food at a good priceeuropeanloverDined on 8/5/2014Cafe Malta cooks excellent Mediterranean dishes from all over the Mediterranean region at affordable prices. I especially like their creative Tour de Forks where they focus on a four course meal from one specific region or city on the Mediterranean sea.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a great surprise!janelleVIPDined on 7/26/2014We were not expecting much when we drove up-it is in a very non-distinct shopping center. LOVED the Hummus! It tasted like it was fresh ground just before it came to our table. The Eggs Malta were wonderful with crispy pancetta and a hearty biscuit. My daughter had the Gnocci and the cream garlic sauce was divine. We will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food and service are always great!Peripatetic75Dined on 7/19/2014This neighborhood gem never disappoints. My husband and I have been patrons for quite some time and have brought a number of couples with us. Each one has gone back on their own because the food and service are always great and the menu is appealing. The wine prices are also reasonable, as is the food. I only wish it was closer to me. We will return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pretty goodsxswHATERDined on 7/19/2014Very good experience at Cafe Malta. Reserved table was ready on time despite the place being packed. It is vibrant and fun. Excellent, knowlegable waiter who was able to recommend off menu items to accomodate my daughter's finicky palate. The food was good, but not exceptional. With a bit of tweeking on the menu, they could really do well. I'll be back (sans kiddos) for date night or with friends when we can hang out longer and try some other menu items.
- What a great find!1xamonthDined on 7/12/2014My husband and I have been choosing one restaurant per month to try in Austin; kids are getting older, so husband and I are taking turns choosing a place to dine. A family member lives down the street from Cafe Malta and recommended the charming place. Therefore, it was my pick this month, we went and loved the restaurant......we'll definitely return.....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- winter21Dined on 7/11/2014We had an 08:00 pm reservation. We were finally seated about 08:40. They were out of several of the dishes we wanted by the time we were able to order. The food we were able to get was not the best--salad was a bit limp, and the bread for the appetizer was burnt. It was a busy Friday night. Maybe they were off their best effort. Be a while before we go back.
- Delicious... but hurriedMaggimDined on 7/11/2014Everything about the experience was excellent. We had a reservation and a table was set for us. From beginning to end, we enjoyed our meal, especially the frilled peaches at the end. But then the waiter told us another party had a reservation and we had to leave. We had only finished paying a few minutes earlier! We're not the type to linger for an unusual amount of time. Perhaps the restaurant will want to space out their reservations a bit more to make this a perfect place to dine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 259 reviews are from the Cafe Malta reviews archive.
- Excellent Mediterranean fareexoticfoodsloverDined on 7/1/2014My wife and I have been to Café Malta 3 times: once for lunch, and twice at the cafe's First Tuesday Tours de Fork, in which the theme of the dinner is a country or area within the Mediterranean region. The lunch was delicious, though not exceptional. But the Tours de Fork WERE exceptional. The Tours take the form of a $25 prix-fixe menu of 2 choices for each of the first 3 courses, plus a dessert. The focus on a country or area enables the chef to choose items that characterize the area but are not necessarily familiar to Americans. So far we've thoroughly enjoyed all 14 menu items at our 2 Tours. We plan to be regular First Tuesday diners from now on. The wines are mostly from the Mediterannean region; we've liked all our choices.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hidden neighborhood spotOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/28/2014Great resturant hidden in an older strip mall. Food is fresh and local when available.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedNvergooutsoneedstobegoodDined on 6/24/2014I had heard great things about Café Malta and I was excited to finally try it myself. So I was really disappointed when the food was just so so. I ordered the appetizer of the day which was sausage stuffed mushrooms and they were dry and just not special in any way. I then had the Halibut served on a bed of something with the texture of watery hummus - grainy and runny at the same time. The fish was cooked perfectly, but the texture of the stuff it was served on was yuck and the presentation was off putting. There was apple and Prosciutto in the mush which gave it some flavor but really it was the color of clay. My dessert mousse with candied pecans was delightful. Service was fine, noise level got pretty loud, just not special.Special Features:
- pattiecwDined on 6/24/2014I hosted 8 ladies and each had a different meal. All was simply delicious!!! We are going again in August....Special Features:
- sesalchDined on 6/20/2014Café Malta is a hidden gem on William Cannon in SW Austin. The nightly specials are excellent; get there early before they're all gone! I had an exquisite swordfish dish with polenta and my friend had another fish dish that was also very tasty. Nice by the glass wine selection. Reasonable prices for such quality food.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/18/2014Service was very slow and the small water glasses were ridiculous when that was your only beverage.
- Sub-par selectionluv2eatoutDined on 6/18/2014I usually find the food to be creative and very enjoyable. However, on my recent visit for dinner, the porcini pasta was so salty that I could only eat a little.
- Great neighborhood restaurantVMMATXDined on 6/14/2014Lovely cocktails, casual ambiance and good food. I wish I lived nearby!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful food; terribly noisyGoDownMosesDined on 6/6/2014Second time I've been. The first time was later (9:00 p.m.) and on a Tuesday and, as a result, the ambiance was very nice. This time, however (Friday 8:00 p.m.) it was so noisy that my date and I were yelling at each other. Not only that, but the patrons on either side of us were doing the same, to the point that we overheard their entire conversation, and they ours. It looked like both couplers were attempting a romantic dinner date, as were we, so the atmosphere left a lot to be desired in that regard. Were I supreme ruler of Malta, I'd work like hell to get some stuff in there to deaden the sound. I liked the food very much but I doubt I will return because of the deafening roar.Special Features:
- michelleDined on 6/6/2014Food and service was great. Too noisy though. Put some battens or something in the ceiling to absorb the noise.Special Features:
- Enjoyed the Tour de ForksCharityDined on 6/3/2014We took my parents to Cafe Malta for the Tour de Forks and had a wonderful time! I had never been to one of their tours, and our "trip" to Turkey did not disappoint. The food was perfect, as always. My only criticism would be that it was so loud by the time we left, we could hardly hear each other. My dad, who is losing his hearing, wasn't able to talk much toward the end because he couldn't hear the conversation. Otherwise, it was a lovely evening!

New external hard drive formatting question.
I just installed a new unformatted 1.5 Tb hard drive in a miniStack v2.5 that I need to format to NTFS. Windows 7 recognizes the miniStack v2.5 but not the HDD. I went to Disk Management & it lists all my formatted HDDs but another window popped up that says; "You must initialize a disk before Logical Disk Management can access it." Under a window "Select disks", Disk 3 is highlighted in blue & checked. Also there are 2 options for partitioning style; MBR (Master Boot Record) as default & GPT (GUID Partition Table). I will be using this drive on a XP laptop & GPT isn't recommended on older versions of Windows, so probably MBR is best.
I presume Disk 3 is the new 1.5 Tb drive but how can I be sure before wiping all data from a used drive? &
|My System Specs
|17 Aug 2011
Virtually certain you are correct, but can you post a pic of Disk Management??
Your other disks are probably numbered 0 and 1?
|My System Specs
|17 Aug 2011
Hi ignatzatsonic!
As this "You must initialize a disk before Logical Disk Management can access it." window pops up, it prohibits scrolling down the Disk Management window until it is closed. Once closed, I & scrolled down & could see Disk 3 is indeed the 1.5Tb disk. It's now initialized as MBR & I just need to format it.
|My System Specs
|17 Aug 2011
I found a tutorial & it's formatting to NTFS. Thanks!
|My System Specs
|17 Aug 2011
Can you dig around anywhere in Windows and find a mention of "Disk 3" that might give more identifiable info?? Maybe not.
Could you run a prog such as Belarc or Speccy that might ID the new drive?
I can't imagine that one of your other 2 drives would suddenly be named Disk 3.
Were I you and I am not, depending on your level of anxiety:
I would disconnect my data drive, leaving only your SSD connected. That ensures that you could not accidentally re-format your data drive.
Make a fresh image of C so you can restore it in case you accidentally re-format it.
Then go for it.
I'd try all possible ways of confirming what "Disk 3" is before proceeding.
|My System Specs

|My System Specs
|17 Aug 2011
Are your other drives the same size. The unformatted drive will obviously have the large size listed. Just an hour ago I did the same thing for a 1TB hdd through eSata. But since I'm running Win 7 I chose GPT.
|My System Specs

For whatever reason, Gigabyte MB controls the speed of the CPU fan only; not the other case fans. The Sunbeam PL-RS-3 Rheosmart 3 Fan Controller allows full ventilation with the case fans when needed & turned down (or off) when not rendering video. The CPU fan is plugged into the MBs CPU_FAN. All is good!
|My System Specs
|19 Aug 2011
To explain a bit more, when I first opened Disk Management a window open that said "You must initialize a disk before Logical Disk Management can access it." With this window open I couldn't see all of the disk info in Disk Management nor could I scroll to view it. Once I closed the initialize a disk window, I could scroll down & Disk 3 was clearly identified as the new disk. I initialize a Disk 3 & proceeded to format it as NTFS & label it as G drive. The tutorial I followed recommended not using the "Quick format method" so it took nearly 14 hours to format! Just a guess but being an USB external drive may be the reason for taking so long to format. It's formatted & I'm happy!

Guitar, Music Theory, Piano
I was born and raised in London England, where I first discovered my love of music. Growing up I studied classical piano for 10 years, and was educated through the Royal Associated Board and Trinity College.
Moving to the states, I carried my musical passion and took further instruction in voice, guitar, saxophone, and violin. I graduated in 2011 from a pioneering local music school and have maintained a home teaching studio for several years. I have experience working with students from all ages and musical backgrounds, primarily working on improvisation, theory and composition.
Charlie believes that learning an instrument should primarily be an exciting and gratifying endeavor, although this does not negate the fact that diligent practice will directly lead to excellence and growth. With every student, the goal is for an enjoyable and fulfilling learning experience, meeting and surpassing potential. Whether students aim to brush up on technical skills or start from page one, lessons will be tailor made for each individual to realize as much measurable growth as possible. Classical lessons are generally taught out of the Alfred's method, but are adaptable to each students desires and needs. Students will grow in skills such as note reading, improvisation, composition and music theory.
I look forward to helping you meet whatever musical goal you may have and am excited to see growth, development and creativity.
Students are expected to provide books for note taking along with music textbooks. Students should also have access to a piano/keyboard/guitar for regular practice.
Contemporary, Improvisation, Suzuki, Royal Associated Board, Classical.
My wife and I have been teaching piano lessons in the Kansas City area for more than 16 years. We have studios in our home; she teaches upstairs and I teach downstairs! I am currently accepting new students and welcome the opportunity to see them grow and experience the joy of piano playing.
My full-time job is serving as the minister of music at a local suburban church. I work with all of the vocal and instrumental programs there and direct choirs and orchestra. While some of my piano students are also involved in church music, I also teach students in the entire Kansas City area and we cover every genre: classical, country, pop, rock and Broadway styles. I encourage each pianist to discover his or her own passion for playing!
I have more than 30 years of experience teaching private piano students and look forward to many, many more. Let me help you learn to play the piano with excellence and have a lot of fun in the process!
*** Lesson Details ***
Students can expect to have a teaching environment that is professional and conducive to learning. My lessons include instruction in theory, technique and exposure to a variety of musical styles. Beginners will learn to play songs within 3 months time and gradually expand their repertoires to include more difficult piano pieces!
Beginning students are taught fundamental skills that apply to all piano players such as scales and arpeggios. Hanon exercises are used and chromatic scales are learned as well. I use Alfred teaching materials but not exclusively.
I encourage students to find their own favorites to play and lessons are tailored to meet the goals of the student. If your desire is to become a classical pianist, we concentrate on works of the masters. If you are wanting to improvise with a jazz band, we work toward ear training with the jazz greats! If you would like to play in a church worship service, we will focus our attention on service playing and playing worship songs by ear, too.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Den: upright, couch and recliner, parents can sit in on lesson
*** Specialties ***
Classical and church music
Broadway Singing, Music Theory, Opera Voice, Piano, Singing
I love music and I enjoy helping my students to share the fun and enjoyment of making music. I am a very patient teacher and have a good sense of humor. My experience includes over 25 years of teaching private singing and piano lessons as well as school music and choral directing of students of all ages
I have Bachelor and Master degrees in Vocal Performance with minor in piano. I especially enjoy teaching Broadway singing, but also teach country, classical and pop. In piano I teach all types. I have several former students that are pursuing musical careers in performance and teaching.
*** Lesson Details ***
Lessons are tailored to individual students needs. Fundamentals are emphasized and I always enjoy finding out what each student wants to learn and help him/her to do that. I use books that will suit the individual's needs. I guarantee a fun atmosphere and positive experience to all students.
*** Studio Equipment ***
My studio is located in a quiet residential area and has a separate outdoor entrance. It is equipped with a Baldwin studio piano and CD equipment. There is a comfortable waiting area for parents as well.
*** Specialties ***
Even though I am classically trained, I feel at home with all types of music. I especially enjoy Broadway music and have had a lot of experience with working with students in this genre. I have former students who are performing in entertainment venues and several who are actively pursuing careers in music education.
I like to tailor my lessons to the individual student so I use many different excellent methods in teaching piano. I enjoy working with all ages----pre-school through adults.
Welcome to my studio! Here is a recent blurb about me:
Marci began her classical piano studies at 8 years old, in the private studio of concert pianist Elaine de San Miguel. In addition to recitals, concerts, camps and master classes, Marci branched out into performing in a variety of venues, as an accompanist for vocalists, instrumentalists, choirs and musicals. When she wasn't playing the piano for people, she was taking voice lessons, singing in both traditional & show choirs, and performing in musical theater. Her favorite TV show is currently "Phineas & Ferb"! (Great music on that show, if you hadn't noticed!)
Marci holds a teaching license in the state of Kansas, and is classified as "highly qualified" according to the No Child Left Behind Law. She is currently working on finishing a PhD in developmental and behavioral psychology, and for 5 years taught Child Behavior & Development classes at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. Because of her education and experience teaching in public schools, she is unique in that she has an understanding of children and young adults and how they learn. She encourages her students to work towards their goals, but is patient and knows when a skill is currently beyond the child's grasp due to his or her individual development. Every child learns and develops differently, so each person's lessons are highly individualized.
*** Lesson Details ***
I have a relaxed teaching style, a sense of humor, and lots of patience! I absolutely love the one-on-one teaching experience I get with teaching private lessons. Students tend to feel welcome and comfortable in my home studio. A beginning student will be surprised to be reading and playing music within just a few weeks!
For beginning piano curriculum, I use different piano book series. There are all kinds of on-line resources that I consult for ideas. Lessons are a combination of theory, learning the keyboard, and learning to read music.
For intermediate piano students, I will determine their level of musical understanding and design an individualized curriculum to address areas of improvement, and to build on each student's strengths.
In addition to the mechanics of music, I try to instill an appreciation for all types and genres of music in my students. I strongly believe that the most competent and interesting musicians are the ones who are familiar with music from all walks of life.

I know what makes a good musician and a good performer and I'm pleased to be able to share that with my students! MY STUDENTS WIN AUDITIONS! I taught in several of the States and in London.

*Now also offering online lessons*
David picked up the guitar when he moved from his hometown of Phoenix, Arizona in 2001 at the age of 19 and hasn't looked back since. 7 years and countless hours of practicing, performing and teaching later, David plays at multiple venues in the Kansas City area while teaching from his studio at Guitar Source in Overland Park,, Southland Conservatory in Raymore, and in home tutoring service Mobile Music Teachers. David also teaches and records from his home studio in Raytown, MO where he offers lessons for home schoolers during the daytime hours.
As a guitarist David is motivated primarily by his passion for music. Growing up he was influenced by classical, jazz, and film scores. Since picking up the guitar he has been inspired by guitarists from such diverse backgrounds as Eric Johnson, Robben Ford, Pat Martino, Pat Metheny, Martin Taylor, and James Taylor, to name a few. Today David plays and teaches a variety of different styles, ranging from rock and blues to classical and jazz.
David started to play the piano after years of playing the guitar. Although a second instrument, it in many ways it was the first as everything David has aspired to on the guitar is pianistic, and he draws much of his inspiration on the instrument from piano players. Correspondingly, it wasn't long before David picked up the piano itself, studying privately first with Tatev Amir and later with Karen, Kushner, Professor of Piano Studies at UMKC. David applies many of the same principles to the piano that he does the guitar including stressing a comprehensive knowledge of music theory, self transcription, ear training and classical technique as well as the more traditional facets of piano pedagogy such as sight reading and rhythm work. Students learn music theory as applied to the keyboard, sight-reading, improvisation and the application of classical technique to modern styles.
As a pianist David is motivated primarily by his passion for music. Growing up he was influenced by classical, jazz, and film scores. Since picking up the piano he has been inspired by pianists from such diverse backgrounds as Art Tatum, Nicolai Lugansky, Oscar Peterson, and Bill Evans among others. Today David plays and teaches a variety of different styles, ranging from rock and blues to classical and jazz.
*** Lesson Details ***
I have extensive experience with all ages and skill levels. I use a curriculum specifically geared towards the guitar, as opposed to more traditional (and inferior) methods that emphasize note reading and piano pedagogy, my method will teach you music theory as it relates to the neck of the guitar and the music that the student are interested in. I am a fairly laid back teacher; we will go at your pace, but I do expect you to work hard.
With piano I use classical literature to develop technique but emphasize the development of a comprehensive understanding of music theory as applied to the keyboard. This includes but is not limited to studies in pop, rock, jazz and other style of contemporary piano.
*** Studio Equipment ***
#1) Dedicated music room seating for parents
#2) Practice/rehearsal room seating for parents
#3) Amplification provided and music stand.
#4) Keyboard/Piano for student use
#5) Broadband network, dual camera, file sharing and the latest technology utilized for online lessons.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I provide a music stand, my instrument, curriculum materials, music paper materials and amplification (if needed). I expect the student to have their own instrument and potentially amplification. I provide a piano for instruction but I expect my students to have a piano or keyboard for practice at home.
*** Specialties ***
I specialize in classical and jazz guitar, however I am fluent in most styles, including rock, blues, fingerstyle, and miscellaneous. I teach from Jay EuDaly's "Vertical Truth: Chordal Mechanisms for the Guitar" but I also supplement this with a variety of other curriculum.
In piano I specialize in classical piano as well as jazz and pop.
"Steven is very professional and extremely helpful. He always has a smile on and is serious about helping you phrase the music. I would highly recommend him to anyone."
"It's been really exciting so far! Jordan has been so helpful, so knowledgeable. I could not have found a better instructor and I'm getting better and better every day."
"My daughter's wedding was weeks away and I had never been able to dance a step. With Jenny's help, I came further than ever before in such short time in any subject."

Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) and its nearly 1 million members and growing nation-wide believe in fighting for bold progressive change. It's not enough to agree with us on the issues we champion — heroes in Congress and candidates on the campaign trail that we support also believe in fighting for these values.
Founded in 2009 by Adam Green, a former MoveOn online organizer and Democratic party communications worker, and Stephanie Taylor, former MoveOn and SEIU organizer, the PCCC has been at the forefront fighting for progressive change ever since.
The Nation magazine awarded PCCC "Most Valuable Campaign" of 2011. MSNBC's Ed Schultz calls PCCC "the top progressive group in the country."
Some campaigns our members have taken on include:
- fighting to save the public option as part of health reform
- championing real net neutrality to keep the Internet open and free
- pressuring President Obama to let the Bush tax cuts expire
- supporting Elizabeth Warren to successfully set up the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
- fighting to preserve and expand our social safety net including Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security
- working to pass Elizabeth Warren's plan to reduce student loan debt
- supporting bold campaign finance reform
- fighting to for Wall Street reform and accountability
In addition to issues, we help bold progressives campaign, get elected, and bring the fighting spirit with them to Washington. We endorse bold candidates, help them run efficient and effective campaigns, raise money for them through grassroots donations, and give volunteers the opportunity to help these campaigns succeed.
So far, our members have done great things for candidates, like:
- helping Bill Halter make tens of thousands of phone calls and raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to take on Blanche Lincoln on the Arkansas Senate Democratic Primary
- running the draft Elizabeth Warren for Senate campaign in Massachusetts in 2012 by raised over $1,17o,000 million through over 70,000 small-dollar donations for her campaign
- making over 2 million phone calls to voters in 2012 including over 574,000 calls for Elizabeth Warren and over 1 million calls in 2010 through our Call Out The Vote program,
- helping over 30 PCCC-endorsed candidates win their elections in 2012
- raising over $1,200,000 and making over 1,000,000 calls to voters for our slate of bold progressives running for Congress in the 2014 election
- helping helped 5 candidates from the "Elizabeth Warren wing" of American politics including Ruben Gallego (AZ-7), Brian Schatz (HI-Sen), Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ-12), Mike Honda (CA-17), and Pat Murphy (IA-1) defeat more conservative opponents in tough 2014 primary battles

Easter Bunny hops into Candia Saturday
The free Easter Egg hunt is open to children between 1 year old and the fourth grade. The children will be divided up into five groups, each with their own area set aside. The groups are ages 1-3, age 4 to kindergarten, grade R-1, grade 2, and grades 3-4.
Each area will "Easter Bunny helper" who will start the hunt and give out the "special surprises," and a host of candy-stuffed eggs scattered across the park. If free candy is somehow not incentive enough, each group will have one golden egg waiting to be discovered, which the Easter Bunny will trade for a "special Easter basket."
There will also be 10 eggs per group containing messages with hints on how to get the special gifts.
The snow date is April 7. The weather forecasts Saturday for clear skies and temperatures in the low 50s.
Severino Trucking, Pemac Industries, Waltmart, and Dr. Robert Pinard contributed to the event.

|Accepted Version
Daily we cope with upcoming potentially disadvantageous events. Therefore, it makes sense to be prepared for the worst case. Such a 'pessimistic' bias is reflected in brain activation during emotion processing. Healthy individuals underwent functional neuroimaging while viewing emotional stimuli that were earlier cued ambiguously or unambiguously concerning their emotional valence. Presentation of ambiguously announced pleasant pictures compared with unambiguously announced pleasant pictures resulted in increased activity in the ventrolateral prefrontal, premotor and temporal cortex, and in the caudate nucleus. This was not the case for the respective negative conditions. This indicates that pleasant stimuli after ambiguous cueing provided 'unexpected' emotional input, resulting in the adaptation of brain activity. It strengthens the hypothesis of a 'pessimistic' bias of brain activation toward ambiguous emotional events.

Listen to Catholic students, stop firing gay teachers
As my biographical profile listed at the top of this Journal page, clearly shows, I was born Jewish. I am not a Jew. My religion in is much as I am a Jew by heritage. But at the same time I have a mother, and adopted mother, who was Catholic. And of course my father's sister, Helen Maschke Hannah was also a Catholic. So while I grew up as a Jew. I also grew up with a great deal of understanding and compassion for and appreciation for the Catholic, and/or Christian, perspective.
But that being said. It's not my place to be telling the Catholics how they should in fact live their lives. All I can do, philosophically, Lord, theologically, is to state what I understand and how I view things and then leave it at that. At the same time, I just don't think it is fair for anyone to be victimized by what I considered to be antiquated dogmatic thinking. Whether that antiquated dogmatic thinking has its origins in religion or politics. I just don't think that human beings or any person, should never be victimized simply for the choices they make. If in fact those choices are not harming anyone, including themselves.
So when you scrape away all of the antiquated dogmatic thinking regarding people's personal choices pursuant to how they live their life, for example, being gay. When you scrape away all of the antiquated dogmatic thinking. Would you have basically is various types of people being subjected to homophobia and racism and bigotry and prejudice, all on the basis of antiquated dogmatic thinking that is steeped in superstition and magical thinking, which produces racism and bigotry and a host of other very negative forms of behavior.
And these negative forms of behavior definitely have an impact. This story is one example of where the negative impact is severe. Teachers who have extremely good qualifications are being blacklisted because of a kind of witchhunt that the right-wing extremists whether they are Catholics or Christians are in fact subjecting people to. And I don't think that's fair.
With all the trouble that our world is facing and with all of the anger and hatred in the world. And with the environmental challenges that humans are facing. I just don't think it is a very good idea for us to engage in all of this negative activity whereby people are being blacklisted and having their lives ruined on the basis of antiquated dogmatic thinking. Thinking that produces nothing but racism and hatred and basically destroys lives.
Perhaps I'm feeling this way because I am part of one of the smallest minorities in the United States, which is, Sephardic Jews. It doesn't matter. I'm not writing specifically as a Sephardic Jew. I'm writing is a human being. I've had many friends over the years to have lost their jobs and been blacklisted because they were either Jewish or black American or Muslim or gay. I've seen the damage that happens. I've actually lost some friends who took their lives as a result of being subjected to this kind of ugly behavior.
That's why I am presenting this story. And that's why I am hoping that you will support and sign this petition.
Thank you.Technorati Tags: Listen,Catholic,Journal,Jewish,religion,heritage,father,Helen,Maschke,Hannah,compassion,Christian,perspective,Catholics,fact,Lord,Whether,origins,politics,human,person,life,example,racism,bigotry,basis,superstition,host,behavior,impact,qualifications,Christians,world,Sephardic,Jews,friends,American,Muslim,result,Thank,students,teachers,extremists,humans

Lamar Odom has finally returned home ... with Khloe Kardashian ... but he remains undecided about seeking treatment for drug addiction, TMZ has learned.
Odom returned to his L.A. pad Monday after going off the grid for several days. Sources tell us both Lamar and Khloe are inside the home and addressing some serious issues, including Lamar's out-of-control crack problem.
We're told there's still no talk of divorce -- and Khloe is determined to help Lamar get his life back on track.
One source tells us Lamar is "open to reason and listening to the people who love him the most" ... a drastic change from a week ago, when L.O. rejected an attempted intervention.
We're told no decision has been made on possible treatment, but Lamar is "receptive."
Lamar seemed to be in good spirits Monday night -- when he was spotted out on a gas run near the home and stopped to pose for a photo with a young fan.
We know ... several of Lamar's NBA friends have tried to reach out to him, but it seems for the most part, L.O. is keeping to himself.
I don't know if this a PR stunt but they will use this for their tanking show trying to get ratings. Kardashians will stoop at nothing.
Somethings should be kept private even for this slug family. I guess Kimmy wanting to eat her placenta wasn't a big ratings draw.
Yeah, I'd go home to that family that completely trashed my career. He seems like a very nice guy but not too bright. Sad
Khloe... can I get a side of fries with all of your lies
Really wishing Lamar the best! I highly doubt this is a crack addiction but I do believe it could be pain killers or something of that nature due to his recent injuries. LO is a good guy but he's emotionally weak which is understandable considering the tough life he's had to deal with...death of his mother, father's addiction, death of his baby, and so much more. The last thing he needed in his life were the Kardashians although I think he probably chose the best of the bunch with Khloe (not in the looks department ok).
Here's to hoping PJ, Magic, and Kobe reach out to him and help him get through this. I'd love to see LO in a Lakers jersey again. No one is oerfect and he'll overcome this. Good luck LO!
He looks pretty healthy for a serious crack head. There's still no hard core proof that he's on crack. How come the NBA hasn't said anything? Only TMZ is covering this.
Everybody has something the do that they enjoy doing ... But it is how you control what you do... go smart money
Hilarious how people are on here talking about Kardashians leaking this story, that is bullsh*t, why would they leak something like this, which would jeopardize his career, they wouldn't want him home broke with no job, your delusional logic makes no sense. Stop being so stupid and full of hate and start using your common sense.
Nothing is sacred with these yahoos.
I was skeptical since the beginning - all generated from TMZ with no other sources confirming except ESPN to report that according to his rep who was named, he wasn't missing. Public initially supporting Odom, NOT Khloe, which must have been a huge shock to the Ks. Now Odom goes home??? Now believe entire thing orchestrated by Kris Jenner and it backfired. Now she's back peddling with the help of TMZ.
Is this picture from the same night that you were alledging he looks "gaunt"? He looks fine to me...hardly the image of a hardcore crack head like you're trying to make him look like. He & Hernandez all of a sudden are hardcore drug addicts? I smell bullsh*t. If they're addicts then they need to run a class on how to do it cuz I can't tell.
Rumor control has it he was smoking crack with lindsay liehan.
Oxy is nasty stuff. I have a couple of friends that take it one for a car accident and one for back surgery. It took them no time at all to get hooked on it. Now they dr. shop for it.
Odom doesn't need this Kardashian Krap if he want's to get better. This should be a private matter for him and you know the Kardashians will keep this anything but private.
Run, Lamar, run while you still can!!!!
RO explains why he as able to get away with using Oxy for years...he had a prescription. I find this odd.
If he has any sense he was there packing his bags....If I had to deal with the Kardashians I'd be drunk all the time!

The Weather Channel Early Years
Meteorologists Tom Moore and Vivian Brown on The Weather Channel in the mid-1980s.
I'm not really sure if one can truly believe in the fates, but it seemed that my destiny was always to be part of The Weather Channel. Maybe it was when I picked out a cute kitten at age 6 and named him "lightning". Perhaps it was when I was picked by my second grade teacher to write about the weather for my class news letter (which began my lifelong love of the subject). In my high school yearbook four different classmates wrote "See you on the weather station!" There was no weather station or weather channel then. Later, in a radio/TV class at SUNY-Oswego, I was a team leader in a class project dealing with the future of cable television. When the local cable station in Oswego began broadcasting a nightly local news show, I presented the weather.
After a few years in D.C. working for the government, I answered an ad in the American Meteorological Society Jobs Bulletin. They were looking for meteorologists to work for a national cable network that would be launching soon in Atlanta, Georgia. I got the job and the rest, as they say, is history.
On March 1, 1982, I walked through the door of The Weather Channel, and into a new world. All of us that arrived that day were pioneers in a new venture that most pundits agreed would have a very short life span.
The Weather Channel Early Years
Tom Moore as an on-camera meteorologist at The Weather Channel. Today he is a coordinating meteorologist for The Weather Channel.
The state-of-the-art equipment at the time was quite crude by today's standards. Satellite pictures in motion were accomplished by accumulating several hours of pictures into an electronic storage unit and moving the pictures ahead frame by frame with a clicker Displaying severe weather watches was done by using Exacto knives to cut the watch and warning boxes out of construction paper, and, after taping the boxes to a background, you took a picture of it and stored it in the electronic unit to play on air. Our on-air look was more like "Wayne's World" than network news.
Today, electronic backgrounds can be displayed, or changed in a split second. Back in our early days, the background behind us on the anchor desk was like a shower curtain. If the evening came and you wanted to change the background you would just slide the other curtain with a different mosaic into place. I was an On-Camera Meteorologist in 1986 and at 7 p.m. I was responsible for changing the background before the show began.
A funny story came out of our first live shot back around 1983. We wanted to show a lunar eclipse on-air one evening. To accomplish this, we had to place a stationary camera on the roof of our building. The equipment had to be pulled up by someone on a wall ladder leading to the roof. An engineer got a head start on this by setting up the camera about two hours early and focusing it on the moon. One problem: The moon wasn't in the same position two hours later. When the control operator punched up what was suppose to be the live moon cam on-air, there was no moon. The engineer quickly scrambled up the ladder to the roof. He was frantically moving the camera around to find the moon. It so happened that up the street from The Weather Channel was a Gulf gasoline station with a big orange "Gulf" sign. The engineer briefly focused on the sign. One of our lead meteorologists at the time, Al Lipson, then quipped "Look! There's a Gulf station… on the MOON!"
Today, live coverage has become a staple for TWC. Mainstays like Jim Cantore and Mike Seidel have become quite well known for covering major weather events like blizzards and hurricanes.
The process of weather forecasting has progressed light years since 1982. Back then, we received a couple of computer models on a DIFAX machine. This machine printed on wet paper and we had to wait for the paper to dry before hanging it up on our "map wall." These models gave you a decent forecast on where weather systems and precipitation would be in a day or two. Another model would project out to a long period, but projecting out more than three days was precarious at best. Today, some models can take you out a week or two and at least give you a general idea of what to expect.
In 1982 you needed special equipment to receive radar and satellite data. Today, anyone can receive this information in a split second on the Internet. The radar information that you did receive back then was primitive, but the evolution of Doppler radar in the 1990s and the new Dual-Polarization radar can give forecasters a much better analysis of what is going on within a particular thunderstorm.
The ability to collect weather information has been revolutionized over the past 30 years. The availability of the Internet made it possible to receive information on a home PC. Today there are a number of apps on smart phones that can warn you when a severe thunderstorm or tornado warning is in effect for your area. Back then you were lucky to show a video of a tornado, and even then, the video was probably a few months old . Today you can probably see a tornado in real-time. This revolution has allowed The Weather Channel to branch out from delivering mostly pure weather information in the early days to a combination of weather information and hour-long programs with themes related to weather.
Overall, it has been a long but satisfying 30 year journey for me. I have held positions at the Weather Channel in forecasting and in front of the camera. Today, I am a Coordinating Meteorologist. My main duty is to bring together various factions of our operation to communicate the major stories of the day and the potential impact on the viewers. I continue to enjoy working with dedicated professionals who I greatly admire. Hopefully, the next 30 years will be just as exciting for our "pioneer" network.

As expected, it took a tough lefty for the Braves to break into the win column this weekend, beating Madison Bumgarner 7-3 Saturday. The two finish the series on Sunday Night Baseball with Tim Hudson and Tim Lincecum facing off.
- Jason Heyward got the scoring started with a 3-run homer on a belt-high fastball down the middle of the plate, a spot he somehow has a ton of trouble hitting. I don't know if he was cheating or not, but it's a good sign that he was able to hit that ball.
- Mike Minor pitched a good game, walking none and striking out five in 6.2 IP. Chad Durbin allowed a two-out, two-run double to spoil Minor's line a bit.
- Jeremy Affeldt provided the insurance with two bases-loaded walks in the 8th, giving the Braves a major-league leading 17 on the season. It was also the third time they had consecutive bases-loaded walks.
- The Braves took advantage of an uncharacteristically shaky Bumgarner. The four walks tied a season high, and those two games are the only games above two walks in his 26 starts.

In the perfect poise of the Human figure, noble and upright;
In Living;
In the exercise of all our powers;
In the acquisition of Knowledge;
in fighting evils...

Topics: Health Costs, Insurance
Oct 31, 2012
Kaiser Health News staff writer Julie Appleby reports: "When a brand-name drug to help prevent premature births was approved last year, its $1,500-a-dose-price alarmed state and private sector insurance officials. Many restricted use of the FDA-approved Makena in favor of $20- to $40-a-dose versions that had been made for years by pharmacies, saying that would give more women access to the treatment. Federal officials, sympathetic to such arguments, allowed the pharmacies to continue making the unapproved drugs" (Appleby, 10/30). Read the story.
