GENEVA, Ohio – Notes and other items from a short conversation with Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, who co-hosted a free football camp Thursday morning at the SPIRE Institute near his hometown of Ashtabula.
**The biggest recent news surrounding the Ohio State program is the injury to Jordan Hall, who stepped on some glass, got stitches in his foot, then ended up needing surgery and is expected to miss around 8-10 weeks. That means he'll miss all of training camp and maybe a significant number of games this season.
"He'll be back," Meyer said.
Meyer explained the injury and the situation like this: "He stepped on a piece of glass and got 10 or so stitches. A day later he said he was having issues with his toe, he couldn't move it. I was hearing this over the phone and (thinking), You've got to be kidding me.' Then he had surgery for a torn tendon."
Hall was expected to play a Percy Harvin-type of running back/slotback role for the Buckeyes. He became one of Meyer's favorites during spring football with his play on the field and his leadership off of it.
"Jordan had a 3.1 GPA and just finished with a 3.4," Meyer said. "He's on my leadership committee. He's one of the hardest-working guys. He's kind of changed his whole life around. He'll be fine. We've got his back."
Meyer held Hall out of the Buckeyes spring game, maybe because of a minor injury concern but probably because he didn't want any other coaches having tape of how the Buckeyes plan to use Hall. Asked how Hall's absence from camp affects the Buckeyes preparations and opportunities for other players, Meyer said "we're working on that now."
**Meyer said he and his staff have had their fall camp schedule and itinerary set "since February" and that the Buckeyes first practice is set for August 3.
**Meyer said he talks to suspended players Jake Stoneburner and Jack Mewhort "every week" but offered little else. They were taken off scholarship for the summer and barred from working out with their teammates after being arrested on misdemeanor charges of obstructing official business in early June but can be reinstated if they meet Meyer's conditions.
**With Ohio Stadium due to close for renovations following this season, the 2013 spring game is expected to be held at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati. Meyer said there were several factors in making that decision and that Ohio State would like to play another regular-season game in Cleveland soon.
"We had to make a decision (on the spring game) and we played a game in Cleveland recently (2009 vs. Toledo)," Meyer said. "I kind of like that idea and we're going to try to get another game in Cleveland over the next couple years. I think that's a great idea and I heard the (Toledo) game was a big success. Cincinnati is also an important area, recruiting-wise, and I kind of grew up there, went to college there.
"(Paul Brown Stadium) is a good venue and just another opportunity to showcase Ohio State."
**Thursday's camp was headlined by Meyer and Eastern Kentucky head coach Dean Hood, also a native of Ashtabula. There were 225 participants from first-eighth grade and 19 local high school coaches who volunteered to work the camp. Meyer addressed the campers on the importance of work ethic and reputation and later took pictures and signed autographs for each of them.
He said part of what makes Ohio so special — and such a fertile recruiting ground — is "that the best high school coaching in the country is right here. There are guys who care."
On the camp, he said. "It's incredible to have 19 coaches taking time, this close to July 4 especially. I'd expect that out of Ashtabula, though. It's great to see some old friends."
Meyer's 30th high school reunion brought him back to town. Though details still have to be worked out, he and Hood talked like there will be another, bigger camp next year.
"It's good for the soul to be able to come home," he said. "This is the first time in a few years. It's easier to get back being three hours away (in Columbus) than six or seven states away.
"I can't imagine a better place to grow up. It's great to have a chance to come back and say thank
Meyer is a 1982 graduate of Ashtabula St. John High School. Hood is a 1982 graduate of Harbor High School.

I would suspect that if you shifted your priority to
2.TC to maintain rend <3 second duration
3. fish for SnB procs if SS's CD is >1.5
4. Rend
So I guess this is "works as intended" then?!
However, until now my Rotation was like this:
I would suspect that if you shifted your priority to
2.TC to maintain rend <3 second duration
3. fish for SnB procs if SS's CD is >1.5
4. Rend
so that means I apply rend after the first time I didn't got an SnB proc?! and then try to maintain it with TC unless I get a Situation where rend duration is <3 and at the same time SS comes off cooldown then I would rend fall off in favor of SS. is that correct?
Well being that the GCD is 1.5s and the interval between rend ticks is 3 seconds you have a 2 gcd window in which to refresh rend so you never have a conflict between SS and refreshing rend. you either refresh rend as soon as it drops under 3 seconds, or you SS and Refresh rend the next GCD when rends got less than 1.5 seconds left.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br& amp;gt;the only time this isn't true is if you're sitting with SS available while rends ticking (out of melee range perhaps?)
TC has a 95% hit chance in low hit gear, you gonna miss like 2 BnTs over a course of a ten minute fight.
Thats what, less than 50 dps? I doubt this is going to affect anything.
another question: In this tier I find myself more often in Battle Stance. I'm not sure what the optimal rotation is when I'm not tanking. I pretty much do the same except I prioritize Colossus Smash over Shield Slam. Also what is best after 20%: do you keep your rotation or do you spam just execute?
Probably spam Execute if you've got the rage. The thing hits harder than anything bar a heaver repercussions Shield Slam. I'll do a little work in simcraft later after i've gotten some sleep
that would be awesome thanks in advance. It would also be interesting if you could test if colossus smash worth it or is it maybe better to stay in berserker stance?
Execute drains your rage away almost instantly, i found myself rage starved after 2-3 executes with nothing left to do for a while. That's why i went back to the regular "rotation". Execute hits harder but getting a free shield slam while spamming devastate isn't to shabby either.
Right, its all incredibly dependant upon your rage gain, to the point that are if you were prot DPS you're gearing would be Hit>haste>Crit>expertise your rotation would be SS>Dev assuming no external sources of rage (i.e blackhorn after your P1 debuffs have run off). Its very difficult to assign arbitary rage thresholds at which you should be using stuff since while you may be able to heroic strike now its no good if you it stalls you out 5 gcds later. For the most part you want to go back to basic Wrath tanking rotation of SS>Fish>fish>truck, using HS sparingly and only to stop you capping out, This should be done in Berserker Stance, and you should move behind the boss
Colossus Smash is cheapest mechanic to add in, and it should be treated as The first priority Truck, if its available it should be used the GCD before SS comes off CD, if you're stalling out on rage drop it from your rotation.
Execute can be weaved in but you will need some serious incoming rage to spam it (probably an unhealable amount of damage), Treat it like a truck and slide it in above Shockwave but below CS, but you're really gonna have to feel your way with this as it will very easily stall you out if you're not managing rage well, you want to have at least 50 rage to make it worth pushing the button, but that's a real are minimum with no concerns for your rage in 2gcds time you probably want to be banking rage close to the cap to start weaving this in.
Rend requires us to off DPS in battle so is a ~4% damage loss straight away, AND still have the rage to be able to sacrafice SnB procs to time your TCs, and if you've got that much rage, you'd probablyl be better off spamming it away with HS in zerkerstance.
It's all gotten a bit john fucking madden.
very interesting. I didn't thought that berserker stance would outdps battle stance with rend since rend has such a high priority in our normal rotation. I think I will mix it up a bit though. i.e in the encounter spine of deathing I use berserker stance all the time for the tentacle but in madness of deathwing I use both. After the corruption tentacle I will start with battle stance on the claw so that I can use my rend and spread it on the corrupted blood asap. I also try to have 3 stack thunderstruck for a monstertruck shockwave for these adds. after that I go berserker stance. After 20% the group damage and therefore the rage income was sufficient that I was able to spam execute ~85k average per execute for about 10-20sec. SS was only about 25k. this was 10m with blue aspect as the last platform.
on the other bosses where you need to tank back and forth between the two tanks I need further testing. I'm the only one with the attack speed reduce in our group so it might be better to dps in battle stance if the tanking time is more then 30s between the 2 tanks
the thing is Rend has a high (theoretically infinite) damage per execute time. the problem comes from maintaining it since TC is expensive and due to having a limited timing of it will almost certainly eat into our SnB procs making even more expensive.
its entirely viable to say hold on my DPS while not tanking is patheitc so i'll sacrafice a small amount of it to mainitain rend, but gain a GCD not putting rend back up when i start tanking again.
so today when I was buying a set piece for my warrior I stumbled upon the 2PC dps set bonus.
As the official talent calculator seems to be Alpha ready now, I'll be starting on a spreadsheet for 5.0.
I'm also thinking of maybe (should I have enough time) building a stand alone tool/executable for some armoury importing etc. which would eventually (this is a REALLY big if, but it's an option I wouldn't consider in a spreadsheet) of building a small sim. It would probably be a C based sim (best speed imho) with most likely a Java interfacing front, although I'm open to suggestions (and a helping hand if you are burning to build a sim for some dark mysterious reason)
But before I even start that I'ld love some feedback on what you guys would find useful in the current spreadsheet and what you guys would be looking forward to in such a exec/program in MoP.

I would love to be able to create, save and share both boss and character profiles. And then plot things like TtL and BT against that.
So I had some spare time left and decided to take a peek at the pre-alpha talents & abilities.
I actually came up with some interesting changes...
Note: I took the liberty of retaining AP modifiers where no new was specified and used the tooltip values as base dmg. Except for Shield Slam & Victory Rush they seem a bit logical, but no guarantees! My estimate for them is ~35-40% of AP (coming from resp. 60% & 56%). This is assuming 8-9k AP.
* The talents that are comparable (Tiers 2,4,6) are actually pretty close together;
* In Tier 2, both Impending Victory & Second Wind (the new Blood Craze) are actually slightly winning from Last Stand + Enraged Regeneration combo on overall HPS (assuming 2s boss swings). Due to rotation quirks, IV only wins from SW on overall HPS when you're fighting a caster/fly-phase boss.
* In Tier 4, Avatar is the best single-target DPS, Bladestorm wins on AoE burst, Shockwave is the middle ground.
* Stormbolt is your best Tier 6 boss ability, Bloodbath is the runner up/compromise, just before Deadly Calm(3xHS). Deadly Calm is best used while AoEing with Cleave.
* Shockwave and Stormbolt miss out on decent synergy with the abilities on the other Tier, making them less ideal for burst phases as well as burdening your rotation.
* With only 1 ability that can proc SnB every 9 seconds, we move closer to a rotation compared to today's mess.
* Assuming same weapon DPS (and AP without Vengeance) as now, the damage seems to be toned down to about 20% of your current DPS
* Due to the new cooldowns on Rev & Dev as well as the numbers being changed around, it seems that Revenge is starting to actually be decent and Dev is not "that one wore-down button" anymore. Even Impending Victory seems to be competitive!
* A max output priority seems to be naturally returning to a simple rotation of
a) Shield Slam or Thunder Clap
b) Revenge, CD/filler ability or Devastate
c) go to (a) for more 69696 rotation!
or in a complex way: Rev-SnB SS-Dev-TC-?-SS-Rev-TC-Dev-SS-?-TC-repeat (SS > Rev > TC > filler/Dev)
* In the above rotation, you ideally need only one 'filler' ability every 9s, but it can be changed freely with Devastate in the rotation. (This allows Shockwave & Stormbolt to be used twice resp. every 45s (36s with glyph = 25% more SWing!) and 66s (only 10% less than it's max DPS).
* Every other Revenge will actually be followed by SS regardless of SnB. Luckily this starts at the 2nd Rev after SnB.
* Revenge = Rage, so delay TC if Rev lights up later than expected. But don't leave SS in the cold
* An SnB proc is roughly worth (SS damage - TC damage) + 10 Rage ('lose' 5 from the SS CD already gone)
* Shield Slam + Revenge rotation is worth up to 2,4 Rage per second (or enough Rage to SB every 25s)
That's about all I got for now. I'm actually looking forward to most of these changes! (Although Revenge still being a proc is kinda meh)

Rest in Peace Fishfishtruck. You served us well. I will always miss you.
Great info, quickly looking at the talents I thought Bloodbath is way better than Stormbolt but running some quick numbers it does look like Stormbolt is a bit better and much better burst, plus if things say like they are we are going to need as many things as possible to fill in GCD'd. I guess for AoE Bloodbath would easily win out, at least compared to Stormbolt.
Stormbolt only really shines due to it's quad dmg on boss component (I assume the stun would otherwise make it mandatory for PvP).
My initial prediction would be that Bloodbath + Bladestorm will end up as the favourite combo for bursty AoE, Deadly Calm + Avatar as single target combo (still does pretty decent in case of an AoE/add burst phase) and halfway in between would be Bloodbath + Avatar (favours neither AoE or single target).
Stormbolt will probably fighting Bloodbath/Deadly Calm depending on whether the fight is about mobility or burst, and Shockwave, unfortunately, is probably just going to end up as a heroic only choice due to it's stun and the less-than-perfect cooldown making it lose out ~10% of it's DPS compared to it's theoretic max, making Avatar even better for overall DPS while Bladestorm still wins on burst AoE.
I also think that Blizz seems to not mind the extra 'free' GCD (available for shouts, IV, hell even Slam will do!) so it wouldn't worry about 'filling the gaps' with your talents rather than picking your favourite play style.

Growing up the youngest of six on a dairy farm in the Netherlands, star of National Geographic Wild's, The Incredible Dr. Pol (Dr. Jan Pol), is no stranger when it comes to animals. As a child, he lived among dairy cows, sheep, pigs, chickens, geese, turkeys, rabbits, dogs and Friesian horses, to name a few, and helped deliver his first litter of piglets at the ripe age of 12. A defining moment as it would be for any young boy, that was when the young, pre-doctorate Jan Pol decided that there was no other career for him—that his life calling was a veterinary calling, spoken and delivered to him via a piglet delivery.
An enthusiastic and naturally-inclined scholar all around, Dr. Pol has been practicing veterinary medicine for over 35 years since graduating from Utrecht University in 1970. Opening the doors to his first practice in 1981 with his wife, Diane, Dr. Pol's became an expert in large farm animals. Seeing the depleting dairy farms in Michigan, Dr. Pol knew that there weren't any other veterinarians helping the farmers manage the health of their herds and made it his personal agenda to revive the herds and return profitability back to the farmers.
Through the years of his practice, Dr. Pol has seen an extremely wide array of animal injuries, from the common to the very peculiar (he recounts treating a snake that was chewed on by a rat, which actually should have been the snake's food!). Dr. Pol along with his son Charles and his 10 employees have treated approximately 20,000 clients since opening their doors.
A firm believer in spaying and neutering animals, Dr. Pol continues to be active with his local philanthropic organizations 4-H and FFA (Future Farmers of America), non-profit charities that help teach young adults how to take proper care of animals. He believes that children who are taught to take care of animals at a young age make better adults.
When Dr. Pol isn't working, he enjoys spending time with his wife discovering new and exotic destinations, scuba diving in the Caribbean and traveling across Europe.
Diane Pol was born in Mayville, Michigan, and met Jan Pol when he was a foreign exchange student at Mayville High School in 1961 during her senior year. Though they were only friends at first, their relationship evolved after they spent years writing to each other after Dr. Pol returned to the Netherlands. Dr. Pol invited Diane to visit him and meet his family, and the couple's relationship became more serious. Though Diane had to return to Michigan while Dr. Pol finished his studies, they eventually married in1967. After living in Dr. Pol's native country for a few years, the two immigrated back to United States and moved to Harbor Beach, Michigan. Diane received her master's degree in Special Reading and taught in Lapeer and Harbor Beach Elementary Schools. In 1981, Diane and Jan moved from Harbor Beach to Weidman, Michigan, and started Pol Veterinary Services from their garage. Diane gave up teaching to help run the veterinary office and take care of their son and two daughters. Today, Diane works at Pol Veterinary Services as the office manager and bookkeeper, and she also enjoys teaching Sunday School at her church
Born and raised in Central Michigan's farm country, Charles Pol was his father's constant sidekick as a child. Starting at the age of 5, Charles began assisting his father at the clinic, helping out on farm calls and was also in charge of caring for the Pol family's vast array of pets and farm animals. Though Charles enjoyed working with animals, he knew from an early age he didn't want to follow in his father's footsteps, and his parents encouraged him to pursue a career he would love. In 2003, Charles graduated from University of Miami. He currently lives in Los Angeles, where he works in the entertainment industry
Dr. Brenda Grettenberger was born in Eaton Rapids, Michigan, in 1967. She grew up on a dairy farm and always had an interest in large animals. After graduating from Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1992, Dr. Brenda began working at Pol Veterinary Services. At the time, the majority of the business at Pol Veterinary Services was large animal medicine, and Dr. Brenda says it took time for some of the older farmers to adjust to having a female veterinarian. Though she did win the farmers over, the number of the dairy farms in the area began to decline, and Dr. Brenda began to treat more small animals. Like Dr. Pol, Dr. Brenda enjoys the mixed practice and plans to continue working at Pol Veterinarian Services for the unforeseeable future. When Dr. Brenda is not working, she enjoys dancing, reading and training her oxen to pull wagons

Favourite fighters: Mark Hunt, Tom Niinimäki and Anton Kuivanen
It's all terribly wrong. If you're a man, and you hit a woman, you're a scumbag. There are levels of scumminess, but it's all scum. All NBA players are good at basketball, but there's only one Michael Jordan. Jon Koppenhaver is the Michael Jordan of scumbags. Your average drunk asshole that gets one slap in or something, is like a bench player for the Raptors. He's still in the league, and he still deserves the label, but he's not as good/bad. This analogy is tough to make, whatever, anyways screw Jon Koppenhaver. I hope he finds out that real men rape.
Morally though it's all the same. An abuser isn't morally better because he isn't as strong as an MMA fighter, and can't inflict the same damage.
Big Hairy American Winning Machine
As Dino mentioned in his quite awesome analogy, and others, being a professional fighter makes you a professional hurt machine. Being lazy, out of shape, uncoordinated, and clumsy increases the victim's chances, in any violent scenario really, of coming out alright. Pro fighters shouldn't go out to the bars to get a liquored up with the intention of starting a fight with someone. Shit is grimy.
Anyway, as with the basic theme of this thread, fuck anyone who uses violence against the defenseless. Fuck'em real good.
You have to know what you don't know.
I expected to see a lot of fighter shaming in this thread and am really pleasantly surprised. I'm not where near regaining my faith in humanity, but maybe at least my faith in mmanews.
I'm pretty conservative when it comes to fighting. I'm a fight positive masculinist, if you want a label. I think if an adult chooses to be a fighter of their own volition then they are as worthy of dignity and respect as anyone else.
That being said, even if you completely disagree with me and think that somehow being a fighter makes you an inferior human, or damaged goods, or means you necessarily lack self respect...even if you discriminate against someone on that level I hope you still see that it is never okay to do this to another human being.
They need to slam him shut in the iron maiden, and throw a party surrounding it.
"I leave this as a declaration of intent, so no one will get confused. 1: Si vis pacum para bellum. Latin. If you want peace, prepare for war. 2: Frank Castle is dead. He died with his family. 3: In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacies, it is necessary to act outside the law. To pursue natural justice. This isn't vengeance. Revenge is not a valid motive, it's an emotional response. No, not vengeance. Punishment "

APPROVED – October 30, 2012
CALL TO ORDER – approximately 6:30pm
Mr. William McDevitt, Mr. Edmund Gleason, Mr. Doug Viger, Mr. Hal Lynde, Mr. Robert Haverty, Town Administrator Tom Gaydos.
October 2, 2012<= /b>
(5-0-0) The motion carried.
Mr. Paul McDonough, Mammoth Road came forward and thanked Mr. Gleason and Fire Chief James Midgley for the tour of the new fire station. He was impressed with what he had seen.
A= nnouncements:
Mr. McDevitt apologized to anyone who took their= trash to the Transfer Station on Tuesday, October 9, 2012. He said it had been the Town'= ;s practice to close the Transfer Station after a Monday holiday. He said they neglected to post a s= ign indicating the facility's closure.&n= bsp; He thanked Mr. Gaydos for letting in as many people as he could on t= hat day.
Mr. McDevitt then stated they continued to post information about EEE & West Nile Virus on w= ww.pelhamweb.com/health. = This will be the last announcement this year on the subject.
<= o:p>
D= ISCUSSION: Fireworks = b>
Mr. McDevitt indicated the Board had previously conducted a meeting and listene= d to people voice their opinions regarding fireworks. The Board appreciated the respectf= ul and thoughtful manner in which people spoke.&n= bsp; The present meeting is the Board's opportunity to discuss what they should do, if anything, about fireworks.
Fire Chief James Midgley and Police Lieutenant Gary Fisher came forward for the discussion. Chief Midgley pro= vided the Selectmen with information on how other communities handled fireworks.<= span style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'> There are no permissible fireworks= in the towns of Nashua, Hudson, Windham, Salem, Plaistow, Derry and Manchester= . There was no information for the t= owns of Sandown, Atkinson and Hampstead. Towns were fireworks are permissible, with no restrictions are Chest= er and Litchfield. The towns tha= t require permits are Merrimack and Londonderry.&nbs= p; After hearing the discussion at the last meeting, Chief Midgley said= it became evident that many of the people who testified had not read the State statute on permissible fireworks because they spoke of what they had been doing, which was illegal in the State.&nbs= p; Earlier in the afternoon he spoke with the State Fire Marshall'= ;s office about recommendations,= or what they had done to work with other communities in the State. He said several years ago they dra= fted a template for a permitting process. <= /span>Chief Midgley discussed the idea of having an educational component with the permitting process. He was to= ld that to do a formal class was probably not feasible from a standpoint of logistics, manpower and finances. He noted that the fireworks companies had nothing to offer to do an educational component. The St= ate Statute calls for information to be available for someone purchasing fireworks. Chief Midgley said= the Town's options regarding fireworks were limitless. He said one option would be to hav= e a permitting process similar to that of Burn Permits. The day the fireworks would be dis= played a person could come to the Fire Station, get a permit and be given the rules and regulations that were developed by the Town. Chief Midgley didn't feel th= e Town would be able to go in the direction of a full ban and didn't feel the Town's people wanted that approach either. He felt there were ways to make it= safer for residents and neighbors to use and tolerate fireworks.
Mr. Viger wanted to know the enforcement procedure if they were to ban fireworks. Lt. Fisher said enforcement would be the responsibility of whoever was delegated to do so.<= span style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'> He said there was a Statute that delegated it to Fire Inspectors. Police Officers had the authority to enforce any State Law or Town Ordinance. He said during a h= oliday such as July 4th when fireworks were going off all over, it beca= me a question if there was enough manpower to handle enforcement. He said they would need a Town Ord= inance in place to enforce; however banning fireworks would be a nightmare to try = to enforce. = p>
Haverty questioned how the Town would ensure those displaying fireworks had=
permit. Chief Midgley said th=
e Fire
Department worked closely with the Police Department because they used the =
dispatch center. As communica=
came in they were given to which ever department needed to deal with it.
Gleason agreed that the people in Town didn't seem to be in favor of
banning fireworks. He believe=
d the
permitting process would be the right approach. He wanted to know if they could
stipulate times of operation. He
questioned if having permits would place an extraordinary burden on the Fire
Department to chase them down.
Chief Midgley believed the burden would be shared with the Police.
Lynde wanted to know the penalty for being in violation of a burn permit.
Mr. Lynde knew that burn permits were valid for one year and assumed a fireworks permit would be valid for a much shorter time. Chief Midgley said if they were go= ing to use a permitting system, a person would need to pull the permit for the specific date they would shoot fireworks.&= nbsp; He hoped that the permit would have a timeframe on it so they could address what time fireworks could be shot off. Mr. Lynde questioned if shooting fireworks off at 2am was covered elsewhere. Lt. Fisher noted that the Disorder= ly Conduct Statute mentioned causing unreasonable noise at an unreasonable hou= r; the determination would need to be made as to what was unreasonable. He said other than July4th it may = be found to be unreasonable.
McDevitt provided his observations.
He agreed with the feeling that a ban was impractical. He had mixed feelings about the id=
ea of
a permit; one reason was the Town ran thin on staff giving him great concern
regarding enforcement. He said
he'd be shocked to find that permits weren't violated routinely=
other towns. He felt Pelham s=
start with small steps, such education and publicity. He noted that either the Selectmen=
or a
vote at Town Meeting could act to have a permit or ban fireworks. He said if the Board was contempla=
some sort of permit, it might be wise to put it in front of Town Meeting to
have the voters decide. =
Mr. Gleason disagreed. He felt a permitting process was the right approach, although it may be difficult to enforce. He said the law abid= ing citizens would abide by the permit and become more educated, conscientious = and safer. Relative to enforcemen= t, the expenditure and manpower, he discussed the overwhelming response to the accident occurring during the past summer. Mr. Gleason commented he asked people during the public hearing if they felt permitting was an acceptable method and he received an answer in the affirmative from most. He didn't want to ban firewo= rks. He said the Town insisted on people having a permit to burn and didn't feel fireworks were any different = than a fire. People needed to unde= rstand there were repercussions associated with fireworks.
Mr. Lynde felt the benefit of having a permit would promote an educational proc= ess so people wouldn't violate State law. He saw more of a benefit to having= the process versus not doing anything. <= /span>
Mr. Viger saw the value of a permit process and like having a date and time specified. However, the people currently trying to do the right thing would be the same ones pulling the permits. The people breaking = the rules wouldn't pull a permit, or get education. He didn't know if the Town c= ould handle the burden on the infrastructure for enforcement and was unsure if he was in favor of a permit process at this time.
Mr. Lynde didn't believe having people pull a permit would be a burden (on the department). He also didn't know if there was a need to follow up on someone that had a permit, unless they were in violation.&nbs= p; Mr. Viger questioned the ability of enforcement. Lt. Fisher discussed how they curr= ently responded to fireworks. He sa= id the problem was that they had nothing in place to enforce. = p>
Mr. Gleason reiterated the reasons he felt a permit process would bring discipl= ine and be beneficial as an educational process.
Mr. McDevitt said the Selectmen had told people they would let people know if t= hey decided to have a permit process. Mr. Gleason said if they were going to do a permit, he would like the Chief to come up with a tentative permit for them to review.
Mr. Haverty was not in favor of exploring a permitting process. He had concerns regarding enforcement.
Mr. Gleason and Mr. Lynde were in favor of exploring a permitting process. Mr. Viger, Mr. Haverty and Mr. McD= evitt were not in favor of exploring a permitting process.
Mr. McDevitt believed there were a lot of violations (many were innocent) and f= elt the Town should institute some sort of education. He said the Selectmen could submit guidelines to be published in the newspaper. He said they might entertain askin= g Town Meeting to call out a time for fireworks.&= nbsp; He said there were some videos available that could be run on public television.
Mr. Viger stepped forward and told the Board that he would take on the challeng= e to contact local fireworks vendors to draft safety guidelines that could be po= sted on television or in the newspaper. He would bring that plan back to the Board for review. There were no objections.
Ambulance Capital Reserve Fund<= o:p>
Fire Chief James Midgley told the Selectmen that the cost of the ambulances had = been going up incrementally over the last several years. He stated that the first $25,000 o= ut of the ambulance revenue was put into a revolving account for the purchase of a new ambulance. Because they a= re running two ambulances, trying to replace them in four-year cycles the $25,= 000 wouldn't be enough. He = would like to place the first $50,000 into the account, which would get them on t= rack for having approximately $200,000 to replace an ambulance. He said this number may need to be revisited in the future to address cost increases.
Gleason asked for the annual revenues on ambulance calls. The department averaged between
$225,000-$250,000, but were on the way this year to be approximately
$300,000. Mr. Gaydos suggested
putting $60,000 into the fund to create a buffer to know that the number wo=
be good for a longer period of time.
Mr. Gleason said an informal recommendation had been made to take so=
me of
the ambulance funds and put it into a capital reserve to help offset the co=
of major fire apparatus. A ty=
fire truck cost approximately $650,000.&nb=
The next fire truck replacement is anticipated next year. Mr. Gleason asked if the ambulance=
could be used to offset the cost of fire apparatus. Mr. Gaydos said it couldn't =
be as
direct as the revolving account. He
said if they wanted to do that, it would require a warrant article to show
where the money was coming from, or it could be raised through taxation.
Mr. Lynde asked if it would be a vote of the Board, or Town Meeting to put aside the $50,000. Mr. Gaydos said = it would have to go to Town Meeting because it was an expressed amount. Mr. Lynde supported increasing the amount to $60,000. For fire apparatus, he felt they should do a warrant article.
After further discussion and the Chief explaining the equipment that was transfer= red over to new ambulances, the Board leaned in the direction of putting $60,000 into the ambulance fund; a warrant article would be needed to increase the current amount to that figure.
EMT Impact
Chief Midgley told the Selectmen as of October 1st the State essential= ly changed its EMT85 status and converted to Advanced EMT (essentially EMT99). EMT's couldn= 217;t get registered at EMT85 any longer and needed to be certified at the higher level. The budgetary impact t= o the department next year is approximately $13,000; the increase to the budget is expected to be approximately $8,000. Chief Midgley was looking to reallocating educational budget toward = the certification. The State won't allow EMT's to challenge the tes= t at the same time; they are only eligible to do so in the twelve months prior to when their certification is due to expire.= Therefore, costs will impact the budget for two years.
Mr. Gleason would like to go to the Budget Committee with the full impact and k= eep the department's training money intact. He said it should be recognized as= a State mandate that has no regard to the impacts to the towns. Mr. Viger agreed. He noted that Chief Midgley had al= ready given warning to the Budget Committee of the issues.
There was a discussion regarding the testing and the purpose for the change in st= atus which would create a national standard.&nb= sp;
Mr. Haverty supported the Chief maintaining his full budget with the request of funds to cover the additional costs.
The Selectmen supported Chief Midgley going to the Budget Committee at reconsideration maintaining his full budget and requesting additional fundi= ng for the EMT testing.
2013 Budget Committee Update
Mr. Viger provided an update regarding the Budget Committee review of the budget and recent vote. There was a = total reduction of $1,825. The new = budget is $12,416,568; with the addition of the Cemetery and Library, the total To= wn budget is $12,795,629, which represents an increase from last year of 1.9%.=
Transfer Station Holiday Closin= gs Discussion
Mr. Gaydos discussed the Transfer Station hours and also discussed the employee's contract.
The Selectmen discussed the hours at the Transfer Station with the holiday clos= ing schedule and the costs of overtime versus provision of services to the Town's people. With the Selectmen's agreement, the facility will remain open the Saturday pri= or to Veteran's Day, and close the day after the holiday on Tuesday. Mr. Gaydos will have a discussion = with the union about the holidays for the upcoming year to have a situation that= is fair to the employees and the tax payers.&= nbsp;
Action Item Review= span>
The Selectmen reviewed and updated the status of the items on the action item l= ist.
Mr. Gaydos contacted Liberty Utilities about a meeting with the Boa= rd of Selectmen. They asked to c= onduct meetings past October 30th.&nbs= p;
Mr. Gaydos received correspondence from Boyden Landscaping requesti= ng that the Town extend their contract through2013 and 2014 keeping the same f= ixed cost currently contracted (annual $80,200).
Mr. Gleason felt Boyden had demonstrated quality and reliability and continuation of that contract would be prudent and economically responsible.
Mr. Lynde asked if the contract covered all the work that needed to= be done. Mr. Gaydos said items s= uch as reseeding of fields was handled through the recreation department. Mr. Viger felt Boyden provided an exceptional level of service and without a price increase he would be happy= to extend the contract. Mr. Have= rty was also in favor of extending the contract. He said Boyden had been a valuable partner to the Town and had gone above and beyond what was expected.
(Gleason/Lynde) To extend the current Boyden contract for an additional two years at the existing price.
(5-0-0) The motion carried.<= /p>
Mr. Haverty and Mr. Lynde had no report.
Mr. Viger reported that Boy Scout Troop 25 would be conducting a fu= nd raiser car wash Saturday refreshments will be available. =
Mr. Gleason stated there would be a roundabout pre-award meeting he= ld October 24, 2012 at 10am in the Town Hall.= He told the Board he was provided with a copy of the new county budg= et, which appeared to be increasing $2,679from last year. He ended by saying that the Counci= l on Aging had submitted their paperwork for non-profit status.
Mr. McDevitt commented that the evergreen had been planted at the Library.
(Gleason/Lynde) Request for a non-public sessi= on per RSA 91-A:3,II, e (Consideration or negotiation of pending claims or litigation)
Mr. McDevitt-Yes; Mr. Gleason-Yes; Mr. Lynde-Y= es; Mr. Viger-Yes;
Mr. Haverty-Yes
It was noted that when the Board returned, after the non-public session, the Board would not take any other action publicly, except to poss= ibly seal the minutes of the non-public session and to adjourn the meeting. The Board entered into a non-public session at approximately 8:55 pm. = span>

BOARD OF SELECTMEN MEETING/October 16, 2012


text:
|I scraped paint off the underside of the bottom rail of the bottom sash - the part that meets the sill. I'm now ready to start filling holes and have two questions:
1) I'm thinking the bottom of the bottom rail should not have any paint on it. Is that correct?
2) There are two holes in the bottom rail where it meets the stiles (sides). Should I fill those holes (and with what - caulk or WoodEpox) or leave them as a moisture escape?
Thank you all for your patience and continuing help.

|No, it needs paint. It will always get wet in the rain, unless you have storm windows closed, and if water soaks in to the end grain, the paint above will peel. It has to be dry, then sand to bare wood and soak in a mixture of boiled linseed oil and turpentine to fill all the wood's porosity. When this mixture dries, prime with oil primer.
As for finish coats, I use only oil enamel on the sash, because it lets them move freely and never sticks. It seems whenever I try any kind of waterborne paint, I end up with sticking sash. I always paint sash while they are out, both sides, and let the paint cure; I get by with the storm windows in the meantime, but it is the only way to fully paint the surfaces without painting anything shut.
You can leave that milling hole on the bottom; it's actually a good thing, as it lets water drain out of the bottom corner joints.(not that there should be an water there, but caulking it full plugs the drain)
|Thanks Casey! Your explanation for painting the sash bottom makes sense. Yet, they were not painted way-back-when.
Can you buy boiled linseed oil and turpentine already mixed?
By the way, Casey, thanks for the advice on tools. My window zipper is on its way to me.

|Hi guys ~ I have been working on the same type of project. Casey, when I had my bottom sash out I could see that the very bottom edge, as graywings described - the area that meets the sill - is/was not painted. And it looks like none of our bottom sash edges are? Should I be painting them, it does not look like they ever were... and the wood is all in amazing shape (1904 home). Is it OK to not fix what isn't broken, so to speak? Thanks for any advice!
mrsrichard (aka "Fanner")
- Posted by sombreuil_mongrel (My Page) on Fri, Jul 22, 11 at 15:23
|Fanner, see what jade mortimer says (OHW) and I think she'd agree w/me. It gets wet every time there is a driving rain from the particular side. And wetness there is bad. I have seen paint weathered off the bottom of the sash so thoroughly that it would look never-painted.
The only part of a sash never painted originally would be the side edges. The top of the top sash usually got primer. The inside surfaces got decorated according to the scheme, paint of varnish.
So, yeah.

If A.J. Discala doesn't treat his new bride right, he could wind up sleeping with the fishes. According to the New York Post, talent manager Discala married client Jamie-Lynn Sigler on Friday before a guest list that included several of her ''Sopranos'' costars -- James Gandolfini, Edie Falco, Aida Turturro, Annabella Sciorra, Lorraine Bracco, and Robert Iler. The actress, who plays Meadow Soprano, got married at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden.
Sigler, 22, and Discala, 32, had been a couple for two years. The other A.J. in her life, Robert Iler (who plays her brother, Anthony Jr., on the show), told the Post, ''I don't like anyone for Jamie. But when I got to know him I realized he was a good guy.''
Sigler reportedly wore a strapless ivory Vera Wang dress, a veil and a 6-foot train. The ceremony, set for outdoors but moved indoors because of a thunderstorm, took place in a setting marked by palm trees and dozens of bouquets of roses. The couple reportedly wiped tears from each other's faces as they exchanged vows. Later, they celebrated with a five-tier cake decorated with red roses and were serenaded by guest Carly Simon, who honored the couple with renditions of ''Moon River,'' ''My Romance,'' and ''Nobody Does It Better.''

With all the drama over ObamaCare, Government Shutdowns, and Conflict in the middle east (as usual) one man's story has gotten overlooked. That man is Adam Kokesh. He is a political activist, former Marine, and podcast host. His political views would have the average American in a tizzy at first sight but would likely create a light bulb like effect if only they put down their TV remotes and gave him a chance. But as is the case with any honest hearted and gutsy American Adam Kokesh is sitting in jail for a crime that really isn't a crime at all.
At the end of May 2013 Adam took part in the Smoke Down Prohibition and found himself at the wrong end of a pair of handcuffs during the event. Now, one would be foolish to believe this was a simple coincidence. He had no marijuana in his possession and was charged with resisting arrest even though he went peacefully with the parks police. It just so happened that prior to this rally in early May of 2013 Adam announced he would assemble a crowd of peace loving gun owners to march around the Capital in DC with rifles slung over their backs in protest to talks in Washington about stricter gun laws. Adam and his crew quickly drew attention from both the mainstream and the alternative media with this 'ballsy' idea. He went on every show from Alex Jones to the local CBS news affiliate in his community. In fact, his Facebook event garnered so much attention that even the Captain of the DC police department issued a statement saying if Kokesh did try to carry out the march she would be greeting him at the entrance of the city to arrest him.
The problem with the march was in DC it is illegal to carry a weapon. This would be a complete act of civil disobedience. It wouldn't have been violent or in any way harmful it would have simply been against the law. And just as quickly as the event had drawn attention it was quickly postponed. Instead, Kokesh decided it would be best if he called for all peace loving gun owners to stage their own open carry march on their own state capitals. But before the haters had a chance to call him every name in the book he decided to stage a small event of his own. (Allegedly) In the early morning hours of July 4th 2013 Kokesh took a camera, himself, and his shotgun and headed out to Freedom Plaza in DC. In an act of civil disobedience he loaded his shotgun while reciting a speech that should have every American behind him.
Shortly after the video was posted on YouTube Adam's home and belongings were raided by police and he was put in handcuffs for over 8 hours while they searched his home for evidence to support the video. Since July 26th he has been sitting in jail. His trial begins on November 6th and still no vocal support from some of the biggest names in Gun Rights. Where is the NRA to come to his rescue? Where is Alex Jones to get the word out about his trial? So far, nowhere to be found, and as events have unfolded Adam is now without proper representation in court having lost his lawyer. In reality it is up to us to spread the word and help Adam get the representation he deserves. Below I have posted a link to Adam Kokesh's website and if you support the right to freedom for all beautiful human beings then support this man. For he represents us all.

In many ways, the Peyton Manning press conference was little more than just your typical presser that seems important for five minutes, then we all remember that we're watching a cliché factory. There was clapping, awkward laughs at bad jokes, and reporters asking loaded questions in search of a pre-conceived narrative.
There were statements of grandeur, and hopeful promises for glory. And Manning saying that if there was a game this week, he'd be ready to play.
Oh he said it, but those words were said cautiously, with Manning adding that he's still not quite where he wants to be in terms of his recovery. He was encouraged by the fact that throughout his free agency tour all the teams saw him work out, and still wanted to go forward.
"But it's March, and I have to remind myself of that," he said.
Like the rest of us, Manning is aware of the calender. The difference is that there's a varying and often split opinion on his ability to actually play like Peyton Manning next September. But he isn't worried about the 2012 season, saying that he plans on playing "a long time."
We can assume then that right now, in his mind and body Manning believes he can play throughout the entire life of his five-year contract. He's one of the few believers in that optimistic outcome, and he's still aware that his time in Denver isn't about the future.
"This isn't about building a foundation for the future to try to do something in two or three years," he said. "This is about now."
The most hopeful statement came from Elway, who said that he wants to "make Peyton Manning the best quarterback ever to play the game," implying that Denver is the place where Manning will firmly nail his place in league history.
There was also the eulogy of Tim Tebow's career as a Bronco.
In truth, that came Monday morning when Manning picked up a phone and informed John Elway of his decision. But for the Tebowmanics the final blow today was likely still painful. In Denver, Tebow was more than mere man. He was a cult leader.
Elway's strike came soft at first when he said that trading Tebow is a "possibility", noting that the Broncos' management is going through an evaluation process. Then the indirect acknowledgment of the inevitable came when Elway was asked if his aim was to move Tebow to a team where he has a chance to start over, or just simply start.
"I would love to be able to do that," he said.
"It would be our goal to put him in the best situation to have the most success."
His words were carefully planned, far too kind, and they reflected the deep thoughts of a man who's in an awkward position. Elway was asked to speak directly to Tebow's fans, and he immediately cited a simple fact: Tebow fans are also Broncos fans, and they'll quickly become Manning fans when the wins begin to pile up.
"I want them to understand that I was hired to do a job, and my job is to put the broncos in the best position to win a championship," he said.
"I have to make the best decision for the Denver Broncos, and this is without a doubt the best decision."
Elway also said that if he could choose a man for his daughter to marry, it would certainly be Tebow, which is easily the most awkward remark from a boss about a soon-to-be former employee.
Hey, at least Tebow has options out there somewhere.

A Snowman Lunch!
We came up with this Snowman Lunch today and my 5 year old agreed that this is the cutest lunch that we have ever made! Which is surprising he said that for all the fun stuff that we make and that it does not include his favorite...peanut butter and jelly!
We used 2 pieces of whole wheat bread, sliced deli turkey, sliced provolone cheese, raisins, 1 mini carrot, and low fat cottage cheese.
We used a round cookie cutter to cut out the bread, cheese, and turkey. If you do not have that just cut out a circle from one of the bread slices and use that as a guide for the cheese and turkey. Place the bread on the plate and top with the turkey and cheese. Cut just a bit off the top of the head for the hat.
We decided to use raisins to decorate our snowman, but you could also use dark grapes. We used cottage cheese for the snow on the bottom. We cut a small carrot and attached that on the face with just a small amount of cottage cheese. You could also just make a hole and just poke that in as well.
We used pretzel sticks for the arms and pressed 3 raisins together for the mittens. We used turkey scraps to make the scarf.
We rarely get snow here in Atlanta to make real snowmen, but we had just about as much fun making this one!
Linking up to these awesome link parties...please check them out!

Judd James Schwartz Sentenced in U.S. District Cour
The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Missoula, on July 21, 2010, before U.S. District Judge Donald W. Molloy, JUDD JAMES SCHWARTZ, a 37-year-old resident of Bozeman, appeared for sentencing. SCHWARTZ was sentenced to a term of:
- Prison: 41 months
- Special Assessment: $100
- Supervised Release: 4 years
SCHWARTZ was sentenced in connection with his guilty plea to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy J. Racicot, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
The Missouri River Drug Task Force ("MRDTF") and the Drug Enforcement Administration ("DEA") began investigating a methamphetamine-trafficking organization in the Bozeman area in 2007. That organization is responsible for distributing pounds of meth in Gallatin County and the investigation has resulted in the arrest of prosecution of several individuals.
SCHWARTZ was identified as a local mid-level distributor in the organization. He received methamphetamine from other local sources, including William Feight, Lori Meigs, Emiliano Cruz-Salazar, Oswaldo Zuniga-Sanchez, and Isaac Cardona. SCHWARTZ used some of the meth he received, and distributed the rest to meth users in and around Bozeman. SCHWARTZ received between three and six ounces of methamphetamine from Feight and Meigs, four 8-balls from Cruz-Salazar, 1.5 ounces from Zuniga-Sanchez, and an unknown quantity from Cardona.
On April 14, 2008, SCHWARTZ sold approximately 8.7 grams of methamphetamine to a confidential informant. On April 18, 2008, he sold another 14.5 grams of meth, again to a confidential informant.
Feight, Meigs, Cruz-Salazar, Zuniga-Sanchez and Cardona pled guilty to federal charges and have been sentenced.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that SCHWARTZ will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, SCHWARTZ does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
The investigation was a cooperative effort between the Missouri River Drug Task Force and the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Practical information
AirportLisbon's airport, Portela, lies close to the centre. Airport buses leave every 20 minutes. A ticket is valid on all buses, trams and mountain railways all day. A taxi to the centre takes approximately 20-30 minutes and costs more if you have a lot of luggage. The tariff is somewhat higher at night and at weekends.
Public transportThere is public transport everywhere in Lisbon: buses, underground trains, overground trains, ferries, trams and mountain railways. The latter two are the least efficient but the most enjoyable. The buses and underground function until 1 o'clock at night. There are also night buses but after hours the taxi is simplest.
TaxiYou can stop a taxi on the street, get in at taxi ranks or order one by telephone. Empty taxis drive continuously through central Lisbon in large numbers, except during peak hours and when it rains. A tip is not mandatory but is appreciated.
PostThe post offices are open from Mondays to Fridays from 09h00 to 18h00. The central post office at the Praça dos Restauradores is open longer.
Chemist'sA pharmacy is open around the clock in every neighbourhood (farmácia, with a green cross), according to a schedule shown in pharmacies' shop windows.
DentistsThe public dentists' centres are not very expensive but the quality is not first-class either. There are Swedish and British dentists in the Clínica Europa in the Carcavelos district.
Address: Rua de Catembe 107

I think... I'm going to go away for a little while. I don't know where I'm going. I don't know when I'll come back. Maybe I'll take a solo road trip and see where I end up. Staying here only makes me want to cry all over again, and I don't need that. No..
Oh, and if anyone asks how I am again... if I say "You don't want to know," it means "I don't want to talk about it." I'm tired of having to try to explain a feeling I can't put into words, and it always comes across as complaining anyway, and no one wants to hear that. I do appreciate the concern and the support, but I don't want to think about some things, and talking about them doesn't help. Sorry.
That's it.

Born in Chicago in 1951, John Carbon studied composition at Rice University and at the University of California at Santa Barbara where his teachers were Thea Musgrave, Paul Cooper, and Peter Racine Fricker.
Carbon's music--which has been gaining prominence in the past few years due to an increasing number of high-profile performances and recordings--includes three operas, Marie Laveau and Benjamin, along with many choral, orchestral, vocal, and chamber works. Carbon has a special flair for the virtuosity and drama needed for concertos, and has completed works in this genre for clarinet, violin, piano, and most recently, double bass.
Mr. Carbon's work has been performed in New York at Merkin Concert Hall, Carnegie Hall and Avery Fisher and Alice Tully Halls at Lincoln Center, Boston's Symphony Hall, and Prague's Smetana Hall. Premieres of Carbon works have been presented by the New York Chamber Symphony, the Czech Radio Orchestra, and the Alaria Chamber Ensemble of New York. His Rhapsody for Clarinet and Orchestra (premiered under Gerard Schwarz at Avery Fisher Hall in November of 1997) was hailed by New York Times critic Allen Kozinn for "its demandingly agile clarinet line that wove its way through a variegated orchestral fabric....rich in coloristic effects of the sort that create a sense of depth rather than artificial glitter".
Recordings of Carbon's music include his Violin Concerto, released on Three American Concertos (MMC 2059), performed by violinist Peter Zazofsky with Gerhardt Zimmermann conducting the Warsaw National Philharmonic Orchestra. Fanfare critic, Robert Maxham, praised the concerto for the "...finale's dazzling kinetic virtuosity", and in American Record Guide, Bill Faucett commented on the concerto's "...many moments of genuine beauty". Also becoming well-known is the Clarinet Concerto, in a spectacular and highly-acclaimed performance with soloist Richard Stoltzman on MMC 2031 with the Warsaw Philharmonic, and Notturno for Trumpet, Harp, and Strings, performed by Gerard Schwarz (with Jeff Silberschlag on trumpet) and the Seattle Symphony on Delos. (New Yorkers had a chance to hear Notturno live when it was performed by George Manahan leading the New York Chamber Symphony in Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center in April, 1999).
Other recordings include two orchestral works--Hommage à Trois, played by the Slovak Radio Symphony under Szymon Kawalla on Vienna Modern Masters 3011, and Inner Voices on MMC 2003 with the Warsaw Philharmonic under Robert Black-- and a chamber work for flute and guitar, Paseos, on CGS 1024223.
Performances have included several premieres by Ensemble Giverny, with members of the Portland Symphony Orchestra, at the Portland Art Museum, as part of the release of a widely broadcast compact disc recording released by Moonbridge Recordings, Waterlilies; Musical Visions of Monet, in conjunction with the opening of the museum's exhibit centering on the late paintings of Monet. The much-acclaimed chamber music group Alaria, with guest clarinetist Doris Hall-Gulati, performed a new work by Mr. Carbon in Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall in 1999 as part of their chamber music series. Premieres have included those by the Philadelphia Trio in Weiss Center for the Performing Arts at Bucknell University of Do Not Go Gentle and a new chamber music setting of arias for the composer's opera Benjamin in Merkin Concert Hall, New York City. Most recently, performances have included those by the Philadelphia-based Network for New Music, Trio Fedele, cellist Stephen Balderston, pianist Edith Orloff, and an appointment as American composer in residence at the 2nd Annual Santa Barbara Chamber Music Festival in June, 2004.
Mr. Carbon has written a number of works influenced by Spanish culture. Presented as part of "Músicos del Norte," Fantasy for Harpsichord and String Quartet was performed by harpsichordist María Teresa Chenlo in 2003 at Casa de América-Palacio de Linares in Madrid, and more recently, Six Spanish Songs for soprano and piano, settings of poems by Federico García Lorca, were performed at the College Music Society International Conference in Alcalá de Henares, Spain, by Colleen Neubert, soprano, and Nanette Solomon, piano.
In July 2002, MMC Recordings released John Carbon, a recording of the composer's Piano Concerto, Rasgos, Rhapsody for Clarinet and Chamber Orchestra and Ghost Town Sketches, with conductors Vladmír Valék, Maron Alsop, Gerard Schwarz, and David Stock conducting the Czech Radio Orchestra, the Concordia Orchestra of New York City, the New York Chamber Symphony, and the Pittsburgh New Music Ensemble, with soloists pianist William Koseluk, violinist Claire Chan, clarinetist Doris Hall-Gulati, and members of the Pittsburgh New Music Ensemble. The CD was hailed by Peter Burwasser in Fanfare Magazine as the work of "an extraordinarily talented and compelling composer." The premiere recording of Endangered Species, a new doublebass concerto commissioned by bassist Richard Fredrickson, was released on MMC 2138. This work was recorded by the Slovak Radio Orchestra in Bratislava, Slovakia, in November, 2002.
John Carbon's works can frequently be heard on the Franklin and Marshall College campus. In January 2006, as part of the Franklin celebration, Benjamin, Carbon's full-length opera (composed in 1987, revised in 2005) to a comic libretto by Franklin and Marshall Professor Emeritus Sarah White was given three staged performances in the Roeschel Center for the Performing Arts. A recording of the complete opera was released by Zimbel Recordings in early 2008.
Recent commissions and performances (2008-2009) have included the premiere of a new song cycle, Queen Victoria's Journey, based on music from Carbon's Houdini opera, Out of this World (2007, libretto by Dorothy Louise), in New York City at Diller-Quaile School of Music. Mr. Carbon also gave a faculty master class in composition at Diller-Quaile in February 2009. Additionally, several performances of Ghost Rags (for soprano sax, viola, bass clarinet and piano) were presented in February 2009, featuring Doris Hall-Gulati, clarinetist. Other activities in 2009 included the first complete performance of John Carbon's song cycle Letters from Abigail by soprano Elizabeth Wiggins at the University of Southern Illinois, Carbondale, in March, and the premiere of a new Duo Sonata for double bass and viola at Penn State, State College, by bassist Robert Nairn at the annual conference of the International Society of Bassists. Looking ahead to 2010, pianist Steven Graff has agreed to record a new CD of John Carbon's piano music to be released by Zimbel Recordings. The CD will include music composed from 1985-present, including a new Piano Sonata completed in 2009. Mr. Carbon is currently working on a work for cello and string orchestra for cellist Stephen Balderston.

Respect Campaign - Club Code of Conduct
For years, the USA Club has functioned under a Code of Conduct for our players, coaches, AND families. Now, as an extension of the RESPECT Campaign initiated in the European professional soccer ranks and recently adopted by our league, we have extended our code to include the League's Codes of Conduct ... AND we now require each coach, player, and family to read, understand, and sign-off on the codes (and they are maintained by the Club for reference if needed).
To this end, follow this RESPECT link to read and download the Codes of Conduct underwhich we play. There is one for coaches, another for players, and a third for families. If you have not done so, please download, read, sign and submit the appropriate document(s) to our Club Registrar at firstname.lastname@example.com .
Concussion Awareness
The USA Soccer Club strives to put the well-being of our players above all else. In keeping with the state and federal Heads-Up Concussion Awareness Program, our Club has developed a process for coaches and parents to follow in the event of a potential concussive head injury.
Follow this CONCUSSION link to our page containing concussion awareness and management materials.
Our mission is to provide high quality, high competition, affordable soccer to area youth with the guiding principle of: In the best interests of the kids. In keeping with that mission, we strive to maximize access to club-level soccer to area players. While focusing on building individual and team soccer skills and performance we maintain a constant eye on building complete athlete citizens. An underlying concentration of all our Club activities is to foster player character by emphasizing sportsmanship and dedication while encouraging them to be involved with their schools, churches, and community.
We are a volunteer-run, 501c3 not-for-profit corporation. As volunteer parents, neighbors and friends, we have a vested interest in creating the best possible experience for our children. This meshes well with both our mission (by keeping the cost affordable) and with our guiding principle (by maintaining a pure focus on promoting our players).
USA insists on positive, encouraging behavior from coaches, from parents, and from players during practices, games, and from the sidelines. This models the same good attitude and good sportsmanship that we will develop and expect from our players as well. We continue to grow and develop in our coaching staff and methods so that we can nurture our children in their personal and soccer skill development, and their enjoyment of the game.

Hey, thanks for coming to my little corner of the world!
I've been with the Fish since the beginning. August of 2000. Hard to believe. Before that, things get a little fuzzy because, quite honestly, The Fish is all that matters to me. Before I was in radio, I prayed for a radio station that not only played great Christian music, but was also a part of people's lives. A station that's part of the community. Your family on the radio. I feel extremely blessed that not only did God lead me to a career in broadcasting, but he led me to The Fish. This is my home.
And I'm blessed to do a morning show with Lara Scott and Mary Hughes! On the Family-Friendly Morning Show, it's all about one thing...you. Life is a mixed bag. It's fun, messy, sad, happy, stressful, joyful, complicated, confusing, goofy, and everything in between. Most of all, life is a journey, and we want to hear about yours. We want to know your story, because, quite honestly, we're there along with you. We don't have all the answers. But we're here with you every morning from 5 to 10 to experience life together. To laugh with you, cry with you, pray with you, or just simply to listen. Our line of communication is always open, whether you call 866-FISH-959 during the show or 24/7 on our Facebook fan page.
Along with the support of my beautiful wife Sherry and my kids Nick and Melissa, life is good!!

Today we come across some new renderings of the much talked-about cheaper "budget" iPhone by Apple. We are pretty sure that it is coming, as there is simply too much talk about it at this point. Martin Hajek created some beautiful renderings based on the information that has leaked so far. It looks like the new "budget" iPhone will come in several colors with a plastic back, similar to the iPhone 3G. The announcement, should it be made, is still a few months away. What do you think about a cheaper iPhone?

Planning for Comfort: 5 Things We'll Use to Help Elvie Recover from Surgery
In just one week, we will check Elvie into the hospital for her next big surgery. We are nervous, for sure. We have confidence in the abilities of her surgeons and the staff at the hospital who will care for her once the surgery is done, but we know from her last surgery that it's really hard on her. While there are some things that will be better because we know more about her post surgical needs now that we've been through this once before, it will still be uncomfortable for her, and we want to give her the most comfort possible during this difficult time.
Since her last surgery, I have been considering what would be good for her for this one, and I've made some decisions about her habits that will help her recover better. While toddlerhood is a time that many parents are weaning their children away from certain comforts, we have intentionally kept those items and habits that would help her recover from this surgery, though some of them are no longer considered age-appropriate. Here are five things we'll be using to help Elvie while she is in the hospital.
Keeping Elvie comfortable is our top priority.
Many parents wean their baby off the bottle and formula when they are about a year old, but we want Elvie to continue to enjoy her bottle. We have purposely kept both the bottle and formula, knowing that when Elvie doesn't feel like eating, she will often take a bottle instead, and if she needs extra calories due to post surgical weight loss, we can mix the formula to a higher caloric concentration.
Babies use sucking as a way to soothe themselves, and while I'd like to cut down on Elvie's pacifier use, I know that having that tool to help soothe herself will be enormously beneficial post surgery, when she is too uncomfortable to be held. We hope that she will continue to associate having the pacifier in her mouth with being soothed and comforted in our arms. We use a clip so that it is nearby, and she can grab it when she needs it.
Snuggly Blanket
A blanket that is familiar and smells like home can be very comforting. We use the same blanket for Elvie every time we rock her to sleep, and we will take that one with us to the hospital.
A Mobile to Look At
Though we could have removed the mobile from Elvie's crib quite some time ago, we've left it up so that she'll have a familiar sight every time she wakes up. Ours is hung on an arm with a clip that clips onto the side of the crib, and we can easily clip it to the hospital bed so that she'll see the same thing she sees at home as soon as she wakes up.
Familiar Toys
I try to keep a few of the same toys nearby for Elvie to play with every single day, making note of her favorites. I'll pack the ones she reaches for most often in our hospital bag, and even if she can't play with them at first, they will be another familiar element in her hospital room

Here's one of those subjects that YouTube would force me to censor.
One of my long-time viewers that I recently started following on Twitter requested the clitoris be discussed in the Sex+ survey I distributed at the end of 2010. Specifically, he wanted to know where it is.
Here's a diagram I graffiti'd:
ZOMG so cute, right?! It's right there above the vagina itself, nestled in the fold of the labia minora. If you rest your palm centered on her pubic bone, your middle finger will run on top of the clitoris. It is a relatively small bump (though they come in all different sizes!) and it will engorge when she's aroused; remember, it is the female equivalent of the penis. That is to say, the clitoris has all the nerve endings of the glans of the penis packed into a much smaller space–no wonder it's so sensitive!
That's another thing. The clitoris, well, it's generally a sensitive little piece of equipment. So sensitive, that many women can't handle the intense contact of fingers to clitoris. To ease the friction, you might try using a little lubricant or rubbing just slightly above it instead. In all endeavors, the clitoris demands fragile TLC, and over-stimulation can be numbing, painful, or diminish the sensation it brings. This is why gentle licking, sucking, or soft circular rubbing are popular favorites of women.
The clitoris also deserves special attention because it is the most common way that women orgasm (for more on that check out Sexual Feeling in Married Men and Women by George Kelly). Stimulation of the clitoris is a vital piece of many women's enjoyment of sex, so don't neglect it, even during envelopment. Using hands or certain positions (woman on top) during sex can help with that.
