Railroad confirms it's removing deck from MacArthur Bridge October 23, 2014Posted by Ron Warnick in Bridges, Railroad.

This was reported 10 months ago, but the Terminal Railroad Association of St. Louis confirmed through a KPLR-TV report this week it is removing the automobile deck from the historic MacArthur Bridge in St. Louis.
The railroad told the TV station the deck was a risk to rail traffic.
"Trespassers, ya know, you don't want them having access to the truss," Eric Fields of the Terminal Railroad Association said. "And if you could do some damage to the truss, you interrupt navigation. You interrupt rail traffic. It was a concern on a national scale."
Readers here already know this is happening, because Rich Dinkela reported it in December. Here's a video he produced that explains the history of the bridge:
And this part of the station's story is interesting in the disconnect:
Patti Saunders was among a number of Route 66 fans from across the country who contacted Fox 2 about the demolition of the deck.
"With all the efforts to bring Route 66 back to life, I would have thought more consideration would have been given to the historical value of this bridge," she said.
But with security concerns, combined with bad location, the owners say it's future as an automotive crossing has long since passed.
"The interstate connections just aren't there," Fields said. "The Poplar Street bridge has better connections. The" Stan the Man" span has better connections. Ead's Bridge was restored. This was never going to be a vital road use again."
Fields clearly is thinking of the bridge as a modern-day commuter link between the metro-east and St. Louis, while Route 66 tourists are thinking it can be used for tourism reasons, either as a sparsely used automobile path or a bicycle/pedestrian trail, such as the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge.
It should be noted that for decades, the bridge has been fenced off in East St. Louis and small part of the roadway deck removed in the middle.
At least nothing will happen to the bridge itself in the foreseeable future. It reportedly carries 30 to 40 trains daily and more than 100 million tons of cargo annually.
The MacArthur Bridge opened to traffic in 1917, back when it was called the St. Louis Municipal Bridge or Free Bridge. It was renamed for Gen. Douglas MacArthur in 1942. It was one of several bridges that carried Route 66 over the Mississippi River.

DiscoverOklahoma, which is part of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department, recently uploaded this video about Ollie's Station restaurant on the southwest side of Tulsa.
As you might guess, the restaurant and its toy trains are a big hit with children. If you go there, don't miss the big train set in the back of the restaurant. And the real thing runs on several sets of tracks just spitting distance away.

Interactive map sorts 1935-1945 photos September 9, 2014Posted by Ron Warnick in History, Photographs, Railroad.

Starting in 1935, photographers with the New Deal's Farm Security Administration began documenting life in the United States during the Great Depression and, later, World War II.
More than 170,000 photos were taken, and a few of them became famous, including Dorothea Lange's now-iconic image of a migrant mother. Although the vast majority of images were digitized and put online by the Library of Congress, it wasn't always easy to search for them.
But a team from Yale University created Photogrammar, an interactive map using a 1937 atlas where you can see the photos sorted by county or by photographer. Don't be surprised if you spend a few hours surfing the images, as I did.
Naturally, I followed Route 66's path and posted some of the most striking photos here. One could spend days on the Chicago collection, which contains hundreds of images from the city's black South Side neighborhoods and the railroad yards. Dozens of photos document a black farming family's life in Creek County, Oklahoma. Another large batch of images show squatters' camps in Oklahoma City during the Depression. And in Los Angeles, you see Japanese-Americans rounded up ("evacuated" is what they called it then) to be transported to internment camps and workers toiling in warplane factories.
The photographers didn't get everywhere, and the map contains a flaw for St. Louis County in St. Louis. But odds are you'll find some fascinating images from the past from your home region.

Railroad depot in Springfield named to National Register September 7, 2014Posted by Ron Warnick in Preservation, Railroad.

add a comment
The Great Western Railroad depot in Springfield, Illinois, was named to the National Register of Historic Places effective Aug. 25, according to an email a few days ago from the National Park Service.
The depot at 930 E. Monroe St. (map here) sits barely a block east of the classic Ninth Street alignment of Route 66. The brick depot was built in 1852, which makes it more than historic enough for inclusion to the National Register.
But the Great Western depot has this additional cachet:
Three months after his election in November 1860, Abraham Lincoln left Springfield for Washington, D.C. to become the 16th President of the United States. The special train that would take him there left the Great Western Depot on the rainy morning of Monday, February 11, 1861, the last day Lincoln spent in Springfield. […]
Lincoln gave a short speech to the group of friends and family who came to see him off. His words, brief yet powerful, moved his audience and foretold of the great challenge he faced.
"My friends, No one, not in my situation, can appreciate my feeling of sadness at this parting. To this place, and the kindness of these people, I owe everything. Here I have lived a quarter of a century, and have passed from a young to an old man. Here my children have been born, and one is buried. I now leave, not knowing when, or whether ever, I may return, with a task before me greater than that which rested upon Washington. Without the assistance of that Divine Being, who ever attended him, I cannot succeed. With that assistance I cannot fail. Trusting in Him, who can go with me, and remain with you and be everywhere for good, let us confidently hope that all will yet be well. To His care commending you, as I hope in your prayers you will commend me, I bid you an affectionate farewell."
It also was from this depot where Lincoln gazed at his beloved Springfield for the last time before his assassination in 1865.
For the last 50 years or so, the depot has operated as a museum. It was purchased two years ago by the Noll Law Office, extensively renovated , and reopened on the first floor as a self-guided museum (more about its hours are here). The second floor holds the law office.
The depot is another reminder you could spend all day visiting the historic Lincoln sites around Springfield.

Explore Tulsa recently uploaded this informative clip about the Route 66 Village in southwest Tulsa.
Mike Massey, train project manager, explains the vintage Frisco Meteor 4500 locomotive, rail cars and the Red Fork commemorative oil derrick on the site.
I do hope the volunteers can renovate the inside of that circa-1929 passenger car so visitors can tour it. The locomotive already is a popular photo op; having the car open again would make it a bigger destination.
While you're at it, take a look at the future plans for the Route 66 Village.

Red Oak II now offering overnight stays July 31, 2014Posted by Ron Warnick in Art, Attractions, Motels, People, Railroad.
Tags: Carthage, Lowell Davis, Red Oak II
1 comment so far
Red Oak II, a vivid re-creation of a now-vanished town by folk artist Lowell Davis, recently started offering overnight stays in cabins reclaimed from a former Route 66 motel in Duquesne, Missouri, reported the Joplin Globe in a feature story about Davis and his complex near Carthage, Missouri.
Also, a former mayor who resides at Red Oak II plans to install a small railroad depot at the complex.
And Jim Woestman, the former mayor of Carthage who built a home at what Davis calls "the back" of Red Oak II in which to retire. Davis has a "small project" in progress with Woestman: A train station.
"We have everything else but a train station," Davis said. "We figured we needed one."
Woestman also moved in the duplex cabins that once formed the Star Motel and Trailer Court at Newman and Duquesne roads in Duquesne, which he opened to vacationers for the first time earlier this month.
Neither the article nor the Red Oak II website contained more details about the cabins. However, a post July 23 on the Facebook page of Red Fork II said overnight stays were available and to call 417-237-0808 for more information.
We reported in March 2013 about Red Oak II moving the Star Motel cabins, including this photo. The cabins are 1920s-style duplexes that actually were built in the 1970s.
On a side note, the Globe article mentions Red Oak II was inspired by the small town of Red Oak on Route 66 northeast of Carthage. However, I've found no records of a town by that name in any reference materials about Route 66.
However, the small settlement of Red Oak may be found on State Highway YY and County Road 2032 in rural La Russell, Missouri. It is essentially a ghost town, but it does have a few remaining houses and a church, which you can see in this Google Street View image:
The old Red Oak sits about 2.8 miles north of Highway 96, which is old Route 66 in that part of Missouri.

Albuquerque's most popular filming locations July 12, 2014Posted by Ron Warnick in Movies, Railroad, Restaurants, Television, Towns.

add a comment
KRQE-TV in Albuquerque produced this fascinating story about the city's most popular filming locations for movies, television series and commercials.
Not surprisingly, several exist on Central Avenue, aka Route 66 — Lindy's Coffee Shop and Loyola's Family Restaurant.
The station reported:
So why are Lindy's and Loyola's attractive for filmmakers?
"They're still period, they still look like they did maybe in the 50′s or 60′s," said Ann Lerner, the city's film liaison. "So they don't have to build a set… they can go to a practical location."
Score another one for historic preservation.

Byrne facing lengthy spell out
ESPN Staff

Wales international Lee Byrne is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines due to a back injury.
Byrne has been out of the Wales side since the 2011 World Cup but with Leigh Halfpenny an injury doubt for the 2012 Six Nations, Byrne could have been recalled to the national set-up. However, the fullback left the field in the first-half of Clermont Auvergne's game with Leinster on Saturday and could miss the Six Nations.
Clermont have confirmed that Byrne suffered a serious injury with the 32-year-old suffering "a fractured right pedicle of the fifth lumbar vertebra".
Byrne was also in the frame for a spot on the 2013 British & Irish Lions tour to Australia and he confirmed his desire to travel with the famous side once again, after touring in 2009, to ESPN last week.
With Byrne potentially sidelined for the 2013 Six Nations, interim coach Rob Howley is likely to turn to Halfpenny to continue at No.15 but if the Cardiff Blues fullback fails to recover from his injury, then Scarlets' Liam Williams is seemingly in pole position.

YCAM Exclusive Stage & Music Performance
The Chelfitsch troupe around playwright/director Toshiki Okada, a leading figure in the realm of contemporary performing arts in Japan, stage their play "Ground and Floor."
The piece's central theme is Japan and the Japanese language, illustrated in the form of a fictional story set in Japan in the near future. Against the backdrop of a restless nation on the verge of collapse and war, the story revolves around a family and its contrasting, disconnected members: the old mother, whose ghost continues to appear in front of her family after her death; and the young mother, who is about to give birth to a baby. "Ground and Floor" is to be categorized as a work of "music theater" that was realized in collaboration with the band Sangatsu, who were previously in charge of musical accompaniment in Chelfitsch's piece "Current Location" (2011). Sangatsu's live set following the performance completes a program that is typically YCAM considering the facility's tried-and-trusted acoustic conditions."
One day after the event, Toshiki Okada, together with members of Sangatsu and YCAM, will hold a workshop on the theme of "music theater", with the aim to enhance the participants' experience of the play and the process of its production. Look forward to a YCAM exclusive program showcasing a piece that has been highly evaluated in Japan and abroad since its first performance in 2013.

Texas Tech rallies to beat Minnesota 34-31

Texas Tech has had a difficult month since coach Tommy Tuberville left abruptly for the job at Cincinnati.
The struggles continued on Friday night, and the Red Raiders trailed Minnesota by a touchdown with just more than a minute left in the Meineke Car Care Bowl.
That was when seniors D.J. Johnson and Seth Doege came through with big plays to help Texas Tech to a 34-31 win.
After Doege connected with Eric Ward on a 35-yard scoring play to pull the Red Raiders even at 31 with just more than a minute remaining, Johnson returned an interception 39 yards and Ryan Bustin made a 28-yard field goal as time expired to give the Red Raiders the win.
"We've overcome a lot of adversity," Johnson said. "To end my last play like that is a blessing."
Michael Carter intercepted two of Doege's passes in the fourth quarter before the tying score, but Minnesota couldn't convert either of the turnovers into points.
"Things weren't always going our way ... but we kept fighting and put ourselves in a position to win the game," Doege said.
The Red Raiders (8-5) got their third straight bowl victory to end their trying season on a high note.
Texas Tech has hired Kliff Kingsbury to replace Tuberville, but interim coach Chris Thomsen led the team against Minnesota (6-7). Kingsbury was at the game, watching from a suite.
Doege threw for 271 yards and a touchdown and ran for another score in front of a crowd that included 1977 Heisman Trophy winner Earl Campbell and former Tech coach Spike Dykes.
"More than anything I credit those players," Thomsen said of Johnson and Doege. "They really held it together ... to get to make those plays after they struggled. They kept their poise and confidence and continued to stay in there and battle."
Philip Nelson threw for 138 yards and two scores for the Gophers, who were in a bowl game for the first time since 2009.
"I think our kids played hard tonight; they played their guts out, and I appreciate that," Minnesota coach Jerry Kill said. "We just couldn't make a play at a critical time."
The Red Raiders returned to a bowl after having their 18-season bowl streak snapped last year.
A 1-yard touchdown pass from Nelson to Drew Goodger gave Minnesota a 31-24 lead early in the fourth quarter.
Texas Tech led 24-17 at halftime, but couldn't do anything offensively in the second half until the last couple of minutes. It was an ugly game for the Red Raiders, who had 13 penalties for 135 yards and lost the tight end Jace Amaro when he was ejected for throwing a punch.
Jakeem Grant ran for what was initially ruled a touchdown for Tech late in the third quarter. Amaro threw a punch at Derrick Wells in the end zone on the play and was ejected.
After the penalty, the play was reviewed and overturned. Doege threw an incomplete pass before Tech made a 32-yard field goal. But the Red Raiders had a false start penalty on the play and had to kick again and this time the Gophers blocked it.
Nelson threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Devin Crawford-Tufts, who was left uncovered in the end zone, to tie it at 24 early in the third quarter.
Donnell Kirkwood scored on a 3-yard run to leave Minnesota up 17-14 early in the second quarter.
Texas Tech had a first-and-goal at the Minnesota 2 after a pass-interference call on the Gophers. But Texas Tech had to settle for a field goal after a rush for a 3-yard loss and two penalties.
Minnesota's next drive started out well before turning ugly. The Gophers had made two first downs before MarQueis Gray was sacked for a loss of 7 yards. Kirkwood ran for 17 yards on the next play, but Minnesota received two 15-yard penalties on the play, one for a personal foul on lineman Zac Epping, to make it second-and-42. Epping received a second personal foul penalty on the next play to bring up third-and-49.
"We just made some errors that I wish we hadn't made," Kill said.
Christian Eldred shanked the punt, giving Texas Tech the ball at the Minnesota 42.
The Red Raiders capitalized on their great field position when Doege spun away from a defender in the backfield and leaped over another Gopher near the goal line on a 4-yard touchdown run. Tech converted a fourth-and-6 play on that drive, and led 24-17 at halftime.
Minnesota's Rodrick Williams Jr. scored on a 2-yard run to give the Gophers a 10-7 lead in the first quarter.
Doege lost his helmet on a 5-yard scramble on Tech's next drive and had to go out for one play. He was replaced by Michael Brewer, who found Derreck Edwards for a 13-yard touchdown pass to give the Red Raiders a 14-10 lead.
Minnesota's Troy Stoudermire returned the opening kickoff 26 yards to break the NCAA record for career kickoff return yards. He finished the game with 111 yards to push his total to 3,615.
The Gophers ended that drive with a 41-yard field goal to make it 3-0.
Texas Tech's Grant returned the ensuing kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown to put Texas Tech up 7-3.

The MobiLink server connects to several types of consolidated database using the ODBC 3.5 standard. For some supported consolidated database types you should use the Sybase iAnywhere ODBC driver for that type of database. For others we recommend drivers supplied by the database vendors. The Sybase iAnywhere ODBC drivers and the MobiLink server are included in the SQL Anywhere 12 product. When Sybase iAnywhere does not provide an ODBC driver, then you must use one provided by another vendor. ODBC drivers from other vendors may not support some optional ODBC functionality that the MobiLink server requires.
We use two types of testing of ODBC drivers with MobiLink.
The first type of testing is a comprehensive suite of regression tests that exercise synchronization functionality. If some specific regression tests fail, the driver may still be suitable as long as your synchronizations do not rely on the functionality that failed. For example, if the only regression tests that fail are for synchronization of LONG BINARY data, then the driver may still be suitable for you if you are not using MobiLink to synchronize LONG BINARY data.
The second type of testing is high-load testing involving many clients synchronizing simultaneously with a MobiLink server running on a multi-processor computer. We have found that some drivers from other vendors will fail with multiple simultaneous connections or under high load while running on multiple processors.
As a result of our testing, we recommend the following ODBC drivers for use with version 12.0.1 of the MobiLink server.
If you are having problems with an older version of MobiLink, you should consider upgrading to a newer version. Older versions may no longer be actively supported. For more information, see SQL Anywhere Supported Platforms and Engineering Support Status.
The following sections list the recommended ODBC driver for different types of consolidated database. In some cases, alternative drivers are also listed. Click on one of the consolidated DBMS types below to see recommended driver information for using MobiLink with that type of DBMS:

Important: With any version of SQL Server, you should specify "SET NOCOUNT ON" as the first statement in all stored procedures or SQL batches executed via ODBC. Without this option, a "number of rows affected" message is sent to MobiLink for each statement executed. If you are doing a relatively large number of inserts, updates, and select into statements, these messages can fill network buffers resulting in data being lost without any indication that it is being lost!

MySQL offers a set of storage engines in a MySQL server and some storage engines are ACID compliant and some are not. The MobiLink server requires an ACID compliant storage engine, such as InnoDB, Falcon. Please make sure the default storage engine is ACID compliant. If the default storage engine is not ACID compliant, please make sure all the MobiLink server system tables are created using an ACID compliant storage engine.
The MySQL ODBC driver does not support inout or out parameters for stored procedure calls. Therefore, all procedures that need inout parameters must be written as functions that can return an out value.
The MobiLink server events that require inout parameters, such as authenticate_user, handle_error, modify_user must be implemented as functions and run using a select statement, like select function_name( ?, ?, ?, ... ) and not { call function_name( ?, ?, ?, ... ) }. Then the MobiLink server will catch the return value properly.
If the MobiLink server scripts use named parameters, the parameters will not be changed after execution of the script. User-defined named parameters, e.g. {ml u.my_var} are thus not supported.
The upload_fetch, download_cursor, or download_delete_cursor event may be written as a select statement and the MobiLink server uses the read-committed isolation level to execute the select statement. However, with the read-committed isolation, the MySQL ODBC driver may allow the MobiLink server to read uncommitted operations (inserts, updates and deletes). Then with this behavior, synchronization data would not be consistent between the consolidated and remote databases. This problem has been reported to MySQL.
To work around this problem, all the select statements for the upload_fetch, download_cursor, and download_delete_cursor events must contain a "lock in share mode" clause. For instance, a download_cursor script should be written as select col1, col2, ..., coln from a_sync_table where last_modified > ? ... lock in share mode if it is a select statement. With the "lock in share mode" clause, the select statement will be blocked by any uncommitted operations made by the other connections on the same table and then upload updates and download data will be consistent in the consolidated and remote databases.
There are two ways to specify an ODBC configuration file on Linux:
a) Place the file ODBC.INI (the file name must be in upper case) or symbolic link, ODBC.INI in the home directory of the current user; b) Create an environment variable, ODBCINI and setup this environment variable by pointing it to the real ODBC configuration file.
A sample DSN for MySQL on UNIX can be [a_mysql_dsn] Driver=full_path/libmyodbc5.so server=host_name uid=user_name pwd=user_password database=database_name
QAnywhere does not support consolidated databases running on MySQL servers.

*** Lesson Details ***
I will work with you to discover your authentic singing voice or to bring your full self to your work as an actor. My background in acting and singing performance is Method. I will give you technique, which will include vocal exercises to secure a strong foundation (pitch, tone, breathing, vowel production, etc.) for your voice. There are basics we all must learn and practice and they work. You can expect to be able to sing for the first time, or to sing better, or to finally feel great about your vocals! You can work on songs you would like to sing or I can assign material for you to work on. We will decide. And, more than anything, we're going to accomplish what you want and we will have fun doing it!

Acting - Method
Singing - Technique and performance
I am an opera singer and I teach and perform in and around San Francisco. I love teaching and sharing my knowledge of singing and the musical arts with others. I believe with the right instruction and determination anyone has the ability to sing!
I have training in classical singing as well as in musical theater, pop/rock, gospel and blues. In order to sing these different styles it is important to know how the voice works functionally so that it is trained properly and remains healthy. I use the Somatic Voicework™- The LoVetri Method because it is a body-based method of vocal training which draws from many disciplines, and is based upon voice science and medicine as well as traditional classical vocal training. It can be used for almost any singing genre such as musical theater, pop/rock, jazz, blues, and opera. I believe that learning how to sing is not only fun but also increases confidence, improves general music skills, and develops mind/body coordination skills.
*** Lesson Details ***
Lessons consist of breath and body work, vocal warm-ups and exercises, and work on songs.
These skills can help any singer become more aware of their voice and how their body works as an instrument. Students are trained, like an athlete, to build up vocal strength and stamina to sing songs and styles of their choice.
In addition to private lessons I host student voice recitals twice a year. Performing in the recitals is not required but encouraged. This gives students the opportunity to perform in front of family and friends and to share their lovely voice with others!
*** Studio Equipment ***
Separate music room with mirror, chairs, music stand, and keyboard.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I use a 76 key Yamaha Keyboard at my home studio. I encourage the student to provide any kind of piano or keyboard with at least 61 keys if wanting lessons from their home.
Anna is a San Francisco Bay Area native. A professional drummer for over ten years, Anna has performed, recorded and toured with countless groups of various music styles. Her education includes a B.A. from the University of California, Berkeley (where she was a member of the Cal Band for four years), and Certificates in Commercial Music and Recording Arts from Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill, CA.
Anna is not only known throughout the United States as a drummer, but also as a concert producer, live sound engineer, record producer, booking agent, tour manager, web designer, graphic designer and instructor. Her teaching experience ranges from preschool education to private instruction to high school drum line. Anna is the director of Music Time Academy, a music lessons/recording studio and retail store in Livermore, CA. Anna is also the owner of Smiling Politely Presents (a production company that has produced hundreds of local shows in the Bay Area) and Hella Buttons (a button manufacturing company that has pressed tens of thousands of buttons for bands).
Anna can currently be seen performing with many groups including: Muncie (American Rock), West Grand Blvd (Motown/R&B/Soul), Seth Chapla Band (Rock/Blues), and Jump Back (50s covers).
*** Lesson Details ***
I tailor lessons to the needs and interests of each individual student, doing my best to ensure that all students gain enjoyment and appreciation not only for drums, but also for music as a whole. In general, I focuses on teaching technique and efficiency, reading music, and developing listening skills.
To improve music reading skills, I often use the classic books Syncopation and The Funky Primer (aka the bible of rock and funk drumming). For younger beginners, the Alfred's Kid's Drum Course is one of my favorite methods for learning to read music and for learning general music concepts that the kids can apply to any instrument they may choose to pursue in the future.
For building technique, speed, and endurance, I like to introduce students to standard rudiments (they are like the scales for drummers). I also like to encourage students to try to play a rudiments and other exercises along to their favorite songs, since this is a fun way to not only keep a steady tempo, but also to make the repetitive practice less monotonous.
I try to balance out the sometimes dry and mathematical reading and rudiment work with more artistic and musical ideas, making sure that no matter how much you study and learn from books, you still always remember that you are practicing the art of music making. This includes working on songs of the student's choosing (which I can pull up on online, in case the student does not own the recordings) and working on improvisation.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Music Time Academy: Large, sound-treated room with one drum set for the student, with practice drum pads for me to play along with.
Home Music Studio: One set of drums in a room of the house dedicated entirely to music
Parents are always welcome to sit in on lessons at either location.
*** Travel Equipment ***
For in-home lessons, I would expect the student to have their own drums and preferably a music stand. I can bring in books and other teaching materials, however it is best if students purchase their own copies of the books we use regularly.
*** Specialties ***
I teach all styles of drumming. My performing and teaching experience mainly falls in the categories of rock, funk, blues, pop, R&B, soul and jazz. I have 8+ years of experience with marching drum line (tenor drums/quads, snare, cymbals) and have training in classical percussion as well.
I've been teaching for over 10 years and I have never had more fun with it.�I studied classical guitar for ten years earning a bachelor's and a master's degree in music.�During my formal education I not only learned music theory, music history, ensemble playing, and composing, but more importantly I learned how to REALLY learn new things. This ability I try to pass on to my students.I love sharing the things I've learned from all of my various experiences whether it be from my classical guitar background or from one of my various pop/rock bands. I am a working musician and I still learn new things every time I go out to play. It could be classical music at weddings, Jazz at clubs, or Rock and Roll at rowdy venues. There's a lesson to be learned from each. �
*** Lesson Details ***
Playing and understanding music is easy.�The notion that it is only for the gifted and super talented is a lie.Fun is the first priority. Everybody wants to learn different things. �I tailor the lesson to the student and their goals. With guitar or theory/songwriting, each person has an 'ideal' they are striving for (rock guitarist ala Jimmy Page, Acoustic folk ala Bob Dylan, songwriter like Paul Simon, or classical guitarist like Andres Segovia).��I work with students to reach their ideal in a laid back, friendly manner.
I might teach out of a book or make our own book as we go along depending on the student, their experience level, and their goals. Each lesson will stress the important music fundamentals and making things easier.�Every lesson and every student is different. �I have students as young as 5 whom I help learn music while they are learning how to read and write. �AND on the other side, I have students like my 81 year old mandolin student who has exciting ideas on how we should perform in our next recitals.Learning music is an investment. �Everyone learns at a different pace. There is no norm. �There is no "place they should be" at after a given time of lessons/practice. �I've had students that stagnated for YEARS and then TAKE OFF musically once they really decided to apply themselves. �If you are the parent of a student the best thing you can do is to be involved. After that, nature will take it's course. � �
*** Studio Equipment ***
Some amplifiers, spare guitars, and plenty of nick-nacks. �

What to expect on your first lesson?
On your first lesson I will evaluate your proficiency level on the instrument of your choice. We will talk about what we will be working on for the first couple of weeks and how we will move forward as the lessons progresses. I like to tailor private lessons to each student individually as each of my student come from different backgrounds and at different proficiency levels. I like to keep an open door policy in which my students and I create the lessons together, this is your time, your talent and I am here as guide to lead you to the next step on your career.
How long before you see any progress?
It is my experience that in some cases my clients can see progress during their first lesson. But if the student practice at least 45 minutes daily, we should both, see progress within the first 2 or 3 lessons.
Thank you for visiting my Takelesson.com profile and I am looking to working with you.

What he said and you can't be serious. If anything, I'd have to call bullshit on your calves stretching out unless you bought corduroy jeggings and stuffed watermelons down them nightly.
Ah, the "how much will it cost the tailor in Anytown, Anycountry to do XYZ to my shit" question. I'll give you three guesses but you're asking the wrong question. You're assuming that any random tailor you know won't do a hack job to your jeans. Instead, think about getting in contact with a place/person that specializes in working with denim.
Well it's a 'jean' thread not a 'denim' thread, they're a jean cut with corduroy fabric so it was worth mentioning. And yeah, the calves really did stretch out, they were hugging my calves below the knee and now they're pretty loose. I have before/after pics somewhere. I might just sell them, they're really nice jeans just sized up from what I should have got.
So when you go to a jeans store, it's wall to wall corduroy? By definition, jeans are made of denim. The word "jeans" itself specifically comes from a term regarding the blue fabric of Genoa.
Just stop. You're embarrassing us both.
I think it's hard to gear a mens' cut towards a woman unless you're going for a "boyfriend" look.
Self Edge sells a few cuts geared towards women. Nudie, Rag & Bone, and APC would be good places to check. Sufu has a decent thread on denim for girls but the general consensus is that there just isn't the same focus on denim quality for women as there is for men.
One idea is to simply go the custom route, like Jack/Knife.

I don't, however, really like the idea of paying over $250 for something not all that special that is non-returnable. The fit on those is precisely what I'm look for and the details are nice (albeit minor), though. J-shaped denim really intrigues me but I am not sure if such a thing exists that's not 100% cotton (I'm a sucker for immediate comfort without break-in). Also, I already own a pair of Acne Max Cash. I'm looking to replace them. I found the hem to be a tad wider than what I want. I would simply have them altered but I got a size too large as I thought sizing up would be a good idea. It wasn't, so the jeans are simply too big in general. Now I want something a bit different from that (especially since I own another pair of Acne Max's in a different wash).

Alright, i'm looking to spend about $100 (or less) on a new pair of jeans. I prefer a very dark blue wash that will take a long time to fade. I'm not a fan of "skinny" jeans but i am a slender man so they should be on the slim side. Levi's 511's are the skinniest jeans i'll wear. The other day I tried on a pair of joe's jeans in the brixton fit that i liked if that gives you a better idea of the fit i'm going for. Right now all my jeans are levi's with a couple pairs from calvin klein and i could really use a wardrobe upgrade! i tend to prefer plainer pants without weird stitching or anything. oh, i'm 6'2, 162lbs if that means anything to you. any suggestions would be appreciated!
edit - i live in Portland, OR (USA)
If you're already at the basic 511 level then going up to $100 is useless unless that's the top of your budget for discounted jeans, and even then you might be cutting it a little close. There's nothing to recommend at retail in that range. You should either plan on spending a little more or resign yourself to bargain hunting.
In terms of brands, you can look here (http://www.styleforum.net/t/157881/non-apc-sub-200-raw-selvage-denim-options/0_50 ) as those brands will typically be found on sale or on B&S/ebay for around $100. On ebay, you can typically find brands like Lee 101, RRL, and Rag & Bone readily for cheap.

This article from GeoCommunity's Spatial News will tell you….
The NRCS's Web Soil Survey has finally gone live. I have seen it since its alpha, and it is a good substitution to the hard copy soil reports. The WSS is built on ArcServer and ArcSDE technologies and will continue to grow. Take a look to see what they have implemented and I will try to remember to blog any big changes.
Here are a couple of links from Download Squad relating to Yahoo Maps, Google Maps, and VirtualEarth. Take a look.
Flash Earth: Google Maps + MSN Virtual Earth + Flash mash-up
Via Virtual Earth is a site for those interested in Microsoft's Virtual Earth, and includes developer tips, articles, a Site Gallery, Blog, and other features.
On Monday, Boost Mobile launched their new GPS-based games, Swordfish and Torpedo Bay by Blister Entertainment. According to the article, "Starting today, Boost customers are the first and only mobile phone users in the nation to be able to download and play location-based GPS (Global Positioning System) games on their wireless phones."

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Jerry Sandusky's son describes being sexually abused as an 8-year-old boy by the former Penn State assistant coach on a police interview tape obtained by NBC News.
Matt Sandusky told investigators he was abused after meeting his foster father through The Second Mile charity and a decade before Jerry Sandusky adopted him.
His attorneys confirmed the tape's authenticity to The Associated Press on Tuesday. NBC aired the tape on the "Today" show.
The attorneys say the tape "illustrates that he made the difficult decision to come forward and tell the painful truth."
On the tape, Matt Sandusky described showering with Jerry Sandusky and rolling over in his sleep to avoid being touched.
Jerry Sandusky was convicted Friday of sexually abusing 10 boys. He hasn't been charged with abusing Matt Sandusky.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
The depiction of Jerry Sandusky on a well-known mural across the street from the Penn State campus has been replaced by an image of a poet and activist draped with a blue ribbon - a symbol for awareness of child sexual abuse.
It was artist Michael Pilato's latest step in erasing the image of the disgraced former assistant football coach following Sandusky's conviction last week on 45 counts at his child sex abuse trial.
Sandusky was removed from the mural days after his arrest in November. But Pilato returned to the work on Sunday, painting in Dora McQuaid, a Penn State graduate who is a poet and an advocate for domestic and sexual violence victims and issues. The blue ribbon was added on Monday.
Also replacing Sandusky were two red handprints - one belonging to Ann Van Kuren, one of the 12 jurors who convicted Sandusky, and the other belonging to a sexual abuse victim.
Meanwhile, as Sandusky insisted through a lawyer Monday that he was not guilty, Van Kuren said she hoped the verdict would help his accusers heal.
Van Kuren said the jury found the testimony of the eight victims who took the witness stand compelling, and they weighed the accounts and evidence diligently before finding Sandusky guilty last week of sexually abusing 10 boys over 15 years. She expressed empathy for the young men who offered emotional and explicit testimony.
"I really feel for the victims and any other victims that are out there that haven't come forward and told their" stories, Van Kuren told The Associated Press. "I'm hoping that this trial, with this verdict, will help them heal."
The sweeping sex abuse case rocked the Penn State community and the resulting scandal led to the ousters of Sandusky's former boss - Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno - and the university's president. It also forced a re-examination of the role that college administrators played in reporting abuse allegations.
Sandusky, 68, is under observation at the Centre County jail, where he is being kept away from other inmates pending a psychological review that will help determine the next step toward his sentencing in about three months.
