2014 Director Changes
I'm excited to announce many changes for the 2014-15 Lakota West Instrumental Music program: Phil Chumley returns as the Plains Junior High band director, following Joe Tignor's retirement. His first seven years in the Lakota Distict, Mr. Chumley was the Plains Junior High band director. He's looking forward to returning, following a four year stint as the Lakota West Freshman School and assistant high school director. He'll continue his work with the Marching Firebirds. Replacing Mr. Chumley as the Lakota West Freshman School director and assistant high school director is Tom Racic. Mr. Racic has been part of the Lakota West Bands on a part-time basis for the past six years.
Andrew Carr has joined our staff…again! He's not only a former colleague and a former student–he's my friend. He's also an outstanding band director. I look forward to working closely with Mr. Carr this year in preparation of my retirement. Please join me in welcoming these two dedicated, enthusiastic musicians. Allow me to introduce them to you: Andrew Carr is excited to be rejoining the Lakota West team of directors for the coming 2014 school year. Mr. Carr just completed his third year as associate director of bands at Kettering Fairmont High School. He taught students from 6th grade through 12th grade. Prior to his employment at Kettering Fairmont, Mr. Carr was the director of jazz studies teaching five curricular jazz bands at Lakota West High School. Previous to his time at Lakota, he was the director of bands at New Richmond High School for five years. Mr. Carr is a 1998 graduate of Lakota West High School. He holds a bachelor's degree in music education from Miami University. He is currently working on his masters of music degree at Miami University during the summers. Mr. Carr has extensive marching experience. He marched with Lakota West and Miami University. He also has a DCI world championship ring earned with the Cavaliers Drum and Bugle Corps during the 2000 season. Mr. Carr has taken three trips to Europe and Russia on choral tours. During one of these trips, he sang in St. Peter's Basilica for Pope John Paul II. Mr. Carr has had the good fortune to perform with or under the direction of many well-known artists: Gunterh Schuller, Michael Colgrass, Fredrick Fennell, Steven Reineke, Jeff Folkens, Scott Belck, Dana Hall, Wynton Marsalis, Branford Marsalis and A.R. Rahman, to name a few. Mr. Carr remains an active trumpet player, having performed with many professional and amateur groups. He plays regularly in the Emerald City Jazz Orchestra and often performs in and directs musical theater productions. Mr. Carr is an active member in the Ohio Music Education Association. He has regularly attended OMEA contests and often hosted events, acting as the chair of several All-State ensembles. He is also a member of the International Trumpet Guild, and NAfME. Mr. Carr resides in West Chester, OH with his wife Alyssa and one year old son Chandler.
Tom Racic has worked with the Lakota bands since 2008 and is looking forward to his new position at Lakota West. Mr. Racic has been the percussion director and arranger for the Marching Firebirds for six years and the assistant marching band director for the past three seasons. Under Mr. Racic's direction, the high school percussion ensembles have been awarded several superior ratings each year at OMEA solo and ensemble contest and have performed in yearly concerts that recently featured the Miami University Steel Band and the NKU Percussion Ensemble. He has also been the Concert Band and the 8 O'clock Jazz Band director at Lakota West. For the past two years, Mr. Racic has been the 6th grade band director at Cherokee, Freedom, Heritage, and Woodland elementary schools. Mr. Racic received his bachelor of music degree in music education from Northern Kentucky University, and is currently working toward his masters of music degree at Miami University. Prior to coming to Lakota West, Mr. Racic was director of bands at Mt. Healthy High School. He was also on the percussion staff at Capital Regiment Drum and Bugle Corps and Magic of Orlando Drum and Bugle Corps. Mr. Racic is a member of Music Educators National Conference, Ohio Music Education Association, Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, the Percussive Arts Society, and the Vic Firth Education Team. He lives in West Chester with his wife Amy and son Van.
I couldn't be happier about our new staff and look forward to a great school year! See you at the Rose Parade, Greg Snyder

A potential treat while driving across the country can be the discovery of offbeat town names, like Art City, Utah. Since I saw that one, I have kept my eyes peeled for more examples, and I have collected literally hundreds of crazy sounding places.
Although there certainly has been a history of blood on the streets, here Wolfe's new book and the documentary Tom Wolfe Gets Back to Blood are about blood lines and how they interact with each other.

Bucks top IceRays with goal in final minute
LAREDO - In a building where they have received few gifts over the years, the IceRays were handed a lump of coal before Christmas.
In fact, few defeats in franchise history have been more demoralizing than what Corpus Christi experienced on Saturday night.
The Laredo Bucks handed the IceRays a bitter 4-3 loss at the Laredo Entertainment Center, scoring the winning goal with just 16.8 seconds remaining in the third period.
Had the IceRays (10-11-3, 23 points) kept the score tied until the end of regulation, they would've gotten a point and at least tied Rio Grande Valley for third place in the Central Hockey League's Southeast Division since Rio lost at Odessa earlier Saturday.
Instead, it was a somber IceRays dressing room after a tooth-and-nail struggle with their archrivals in a venue where Corpus Christi has won just 10 times in seven seasons.
"That was a tough one," IceRays coach Sylvain Cloutier said. "We battled and came back, and somehow they got a bounce and it went in. It's just frustrating because we played hard. I'm pretty disappointed that we didn't get a point or two out of this game.
"We've just got to stay positive. We're right there. We keep saying it and repeating it, but we're going to have to do it and bear down and do it Tuesday (against Odessa)."
Laredo rookie Darryl Smith applied the dagger late in regulation. After Bobby Russell's sharp-angled shot from the left wing went off traffic and IceRays goalie Dusty Traylen, an unchecked Smith knocked home the rebound from the low slot at 19:43 of the third.
"There were a bunch of sticks that hit it on the way by," Traylen said. "It hit my pad, and ended up with one guy standing alone in front of the net to tap it in.
"It's so heartbreaking to play that hard for that long and catch one of those at the end. It's terrible, but it's part of the game with the ups and downs."
A minute earlier, the IceRays had successfully killed off a four-minute Laredo power play and looked poised to steal at least a point on the road.
Corpus Christi entered the third period trailing 3-2, with Laredo controlling play for much of the opening 40 minutes.
However, the IceRays took advantage of a fortuitous bounce, as a shoot-in by defenseman Matt Smyth took a strange carom off the end boards and landed on Chris Richards' stick in the slot. Richards then lifted a backhand past goalie Ryan Gibb at the 3:24 mark for the equalizer.
It was Richards' second point of the night, moving him past ex-Oklahoma City defenseman Hardy Sauter for fifth all-time on the CHL points list with 670.
However, that proved little consolation for the veteran center after the gut-wrenching finish.
"The (milestones) will come and it isn't that big a deal," Richards said. "I'd rather have the (standings) point."

The exact cause of
rosacea is unknown. One theory is that it may result
from oversensitive blood vessels in the face. Because rosacea causes increased
warmth in the skin, bacteria may grow, causing the pimples and bumps.
Tiny mites (Demodex folliculorum) that normally
live on our skin may also play a role. People who have rosacea have more of
these mites on their faces than those who don't have the disease.
Flare-ups often start when certain triggers cause the blood vessels in
the face to dilate, which causes redness. Common triggers are sun, exercise,
hot weather, emotional stress, spicy foods, alcohol, and hot baths. Swings in
temperature from hot to cold or cold to hot can also trigger a flare-up of
Many people with this skin condition have a family
history of rosacea.1
There may be a link
between rosacea and Helicobacter pylori bacteria, which
causes an infection in the stomach, although studies are unclear.
Alcohol and poor hygiene do not cause rosacea, as was believed in the
past. But drinking alcohol may
trigger facial flushing and can cause symptoms to get

I recently saw a video of the whole Lights! Motor! Action! stunt show and it brought back memories of me seeing it 2 times in 2005.
My impression is: Wow, what a waste of money and time. They built this huge set and made all of it static except for the 3 moving jump platforms, fire effects and motorcycle store facade! As for the "stunts", they don't really do much and keep on repeating the same 2-3 things, so it gets repetitive. They also proceed to waste so much time between each stunt and the "BIG" stunt at the end is not presented well at all. I mean, come on! If there's one scene you got to build, its that one! the lack of any story whatsoever is terrible too.
They should have paid the rights to the James Bond franchise... now that would have been a good start. If that's impossible, then remove all the fake filming stuff and instead, put in a real story, with characters, etc. Also, let the drivers and motorcycle riders show their stuff. I'm sure they can do better than the limited stuff they're allowed to do.
Look at Six Flags and the "Batman vs. Catwoman: Catfight" stunt show they did for 2 years at Six Flags Great Adventure. Smaller arena, only 6 performers, 2-3 technicians, small budget and yet... the result was pretty good and impressive! They had real stunts, stunning effects and a story to go with it. Here's a video of the show on youtube: http://youtube.com/watch?v=eNxREdvbj...20stunt%20show
Thanks for reading.

Holiday Gifts: Dutch-style Gouda, Caroline's Cakes, and Chocolaterie Wanders
Does anybody really need a box of 24 grapefruits? Probably not. Check out these three gift ideas from local purveyors instead.
Ann Limpert
Sherri Dalphonse
A Charlottesville pastry chef we know raved about a
Dutch-style Gouda
made by nuns at Our Lady of the Angels, a Cistercian monastery near the Blue Ridge Mountains. We tried it and agree it's terrific—a great snacking cheese by itself or on crackers (from fancy ones to good old Ritz). To order, send a letter—the old-fashioned way, on paper—and a check for $27 to Monastery Country Cheese, 3365 Monastery Dr., Crozet, VA 22932. You or your loved one will receive a two-pound, red-waxed round in about a week or on another date you specify.
Seven layers of caramel decadence from Caroline's Cakes in Annapolis.
Baker Caroline Ragsdale Reutter grew up in the city of heavenly layer cakes, aka Charleston, South Carolina. So it's no surprise that the cake she's best known for—a seven-layer caramel confection—tastes as though it came straight from a Southern dessert buffet. Reutter ships that and a variety of other cakes—we also like coconut cloud and Southern chocolate—from her Annapolis headquarters, Caroline's Cakes (888-801-2253;
; all cakes $39.50). Stored in the freezer, the nine-inch cakes can be enjoyed for months.
Earl Grey-infused dark chocolate ganache from Chocolaterie Wanders in Manassas.
If you're giving chocolate as a gift, make it worth every calorie. Chocolaterie Wanders (866-792-6337;
) is the area's newest chocolate maker. Confections, handmade in small batches in Manassas, are so fresh they're best eaten within two weeks—and trust us, that won't be a problem. An assortment—with such flavors as Earl Grey, raspberry, and cinnamon—is $14.95 for a quarter pound, $24.95 for a half pound, plus shipping.

Cunningham id class C now. A doorman.Posted April 7, 2014 1:09 pm
USS is gettin old – why else is he taking so many punches against an aged opponent who is far slower than him? Good job the bell saved his ass!!!Posted April 7, 2014 1:32 am
love that Cunningham. Top bloke who displays excellent sportsmanship and professional conduct at all times. rock solid all-round boxer. I wish he would go to cruiser thoughPosted April 7, 2014 12:30 am
Fight Aficionado
Bigups to USS. Been a fan since he won that great cruiserweight fight vs Huck, who later became a longstanding cruiser title holder himself. Cunningham could've locked down that division a long time once Adamek left but is probably making more at heavyweight. Great to see him win Friday.Posted April 6, 2014 5:22 pm
Ferocious rabbit
Fantastic fight. Both had heart and determination. Cunningham displayed some slick movements and was cool under tremendous pressure.Posted April 6, 2014 5:19 pm
Mansour got to get back on it sharpish. He a old man now and he's too good to go to seed. I loved this fightPosted April 6, 2014 3:14 pm
I disagree. Cunningham had trouble at cruiserweight because of Adamek and Hernandez and he has several losses at heavyweight.
Otherwise, Cunningham beat Huck at cruiserweight and was a solid a winner in almost every fight. I think he lost to a polish fighter but avenged the loss.
Now — Cunningham needs to make the cruiserweight weight limit but he can hydrate back up to strong heavy powerful fighter and he would do great against Huck, Arslan, and the other fighters who are mostly unknown and Cunningham would be favored and make money in exciting fights. He might even score knockouts with the extra weight.Posted April 6, 2014 12:54 pm
He can go down and dominate either. If he could he would of done it when he was down there before. This was a good win though for him. No he won't beat the higher rated heavies but it will always be fun while it last.Posted April 6, 2014 9:33 am
Great fight. Great win for Cunningham.
However, Cunningham is probably not a heavy weight and he is always 1 punch away from losing by KO and he always gets knocked down.
I would prefer to see Cunningham go back down to cruiser weight and dominate there — may big money as a dominant champion.
Cunningham always looks shaky in these heavy weight fights.Posted April 6, 2014 8:53 am
It's Me, Ernie
Great win by StevePosted April 5, 2014 7:38 pm

You had a good thought for USS and his family. Outside boxing, there are so many things more important than the sport.Posted April 5, 2014 5:23 pm
For past 10 years I did enjoy just to read this website which is I never had the time to post my opinion but I am the one I will be on this website since I've been there for 10 years I will speak my mind thank you allPosted April 5, 2014 4:57 pm
Anybody with any prediction try to challenge me including bad boy boxer Domas you know what I'm talking about!Posted April 5, 2014 4:52 pm
so glad he won this fightPosted April 5, 2014 2:43 pm
mike s
Cunningham's knockdown in the tenth reminded me of gassed Foreman going down against AliPosted April 5, 2014 2:29 pm
Both fighters gave there heart out. Give props to both. No hugging or stalling. Toe to toe action. Two thumbs up !!Posted April 5, 2014 2:06 pm
Excellent show, both fights better than any main event that Hbo or Showtime could have staged.
Swedish Boxing Fan
Congratulations Steve "USS" Cunningham! That was a nice victory and a great fight delivered to the public. Nice to see him win a fight again. If he had lost this fight, I would recomend him to retire when he still can with dignity to the sport.
I would not like to see him lose fights to young, hungrier and unknown fighters. It was painful to see that happen to skilled boxer and 2-time champion Chris Byrd.Posted April 5, 2014 1:44 pm
Both did a great job. Hope they both end up with pieces of the championship and have to face each other again. Monsour was a bit closer than the judges had it and could have even been a draw in different camera angles but Steve winning was no suprise and great for the sport. Monsour should have relaxed and thought a little more and been a little more conservative with his energy.
We understand!
It was a great night of boxing.
Sad that someone had to lose.
Hope Mansour studies George Foreman and learns to conserve his energy in the ring.Posted April 5, 2014 12:38 pm
Sorry for my English after I read the whole thing that I should've corrected a lot of things but at least you got my pointPosted April 5, 2014 11:46 am
Hello everybody I am a hard-core fan of boxing and I been following Steve Cunningham for past five years when I watch this fight and I was rooting for him from bottom of my heard specially what he has been through in his life with decisions where he should not lose (adamek) you know what I mean and that big clown Fury one he just used she's body weight and reach used his elbows Push and had butts I was so glad that I watch this fight with nobody being in my house and I cry through this fight I guess I got so emotional because I am truly hard-core fan I will always support boxing and this is was my night thank you everybody .
I thought the fight was closer than the judges had it. Perhaps Mansour's closed eye and Steve's tragic situation with his kid entered into the fray.Posted April 5, 2014 10:16 am
Stеvе must fight with Pulеv аnd bеаt him. Тhаn mауbе mееt WlаdPosted April 5, 2014 9:45 am
Great Fight. Both guys were class acts.Posted April 5, 2014 9:40 am

1929-07-25 Jackie Fields w disq 2 (15) Joe Dundee, The Fairgrounds, Detroit, Michigan, USA - WORLD
1929-07-25 Jackie Fields w disq 2 (15) Joe Dundee, The Fairgrounds, Detroit, Michigan, USA - WORLD. Referee: Elmer McClelland. In a battle to unify the title, with both men starting slowly the first round was generally a feeling-out session with Fields (145), the NBA champion, just about having the better of it. However, the second was different altogether as the pair set about each other from the gong, and following a volley of blows to the head Dundee (147) was decked for 'nine'. On his feet, again Dundee was sent crashing, this time for 'seven', from punches to head and body. Then, after getting up, for whatever reason he smashed in a hard right below the belt for which he was immediately disqualified when Fields went down in agony. The finish was timed at 1.55.
Having been inactive for two months, Fields came back to beat Vince Dundee, Gorilla Jones (twice) and Fred Mahan in non-title contests, but by the end of the year the calls for him to defend against Jimmy McLarnin were getting stronger, especially when Jack Dempsey ranked the latter as the leading challenger in The Ring magazine ratings.
Early in 1930, it was reported that promoters in San Francisco, Cleveland and Chicago were bidding to stage a title match between Fields and Tommy Freeman, who had just come off a win over Young Jack Thompson (w pts 10 on 10 January at the Olympia Stadium, Detroit).
Meanwhile, in an overweight match, Fields was defeated by Young Corbett 111 (l pts 10 on 22 February at the Recreation Ground, San Francisco, California), who, despite elevating himself into the number-one spot, fractured his left hand, which would put him out of action for a couple of months.
Although he had failed to make an early defence, with Fields remaining active his next contest saw him beat Freeman (w rsc 5 on 8 April at the Public Auditorium, Cleveland, Ohio) at 150lbs, thus temporarily putting the latter out of the title race. Pressure was now being brought from the leading boxing authorities for Fields to defend his crown, but ongoing talks for a fight against McLarnin continued to break down over the terms. Then came an announcement from Detroit that the Olympia promoters had Fields under contract to defend the title and would go to court if necessary to prevent a proposed fight between Fields and McLarnin taking place in New York on 11 September. The threat of legal action obviously worked for the Detroit promoters, and faced with a choice Fields decided to hook up with Thompson at the Olympia rather than risk a meeting with McLarnin.

…along with those slugs:
The home-made solution contravenes regulations on pesticides, say officials.It means there is a chance – albeit a slim one – of vegetable growers receiving a visit and a heavy fine from the police.
Has the 'Mail' gone mad? Chase bank robbers or catch burglars, or harass Mrs Miggins at No.25 on behalf of the EU?
Hmmmm, it's a tough decision…
And just why has this edict been issued? Why, simples! It's easy. For the bureaucrats.
Dr Andrew Halstead, principal scientist of plant health at the RHS, said it was easier for the EU to list chemicals that had been tested and approved and impose a blanket ban on all other pesticides.
He said: 'Anything that has not been through the system is illegal to use as a pesticide, however safe that chemical is perceived to be.
'If you were to use coffee grounds around plants with the intention of providing some organic matter in the form of a mulch, rather than as a slug control or deterrent, then the regulations relating to pesticides would not apply.
'This may all sound rather daft, but the intention of the pesticides legislation is to prevent people from applying untested dangerous chemicals.
'However, the chances of being prosecuted for scattering coffee grounds in a garden are, I suspect, remote.'
Heh! Yeah, sure. And it's not just coffee either…
Bob Flowerdew, a panellist on Radio 4'Äôs Gardeners'Äô Question Time and author of several gardening books, said: 'ÄòRegulations are an ass, but they haven'Äôt led to prosecutions.¬ÝI cannot recommend that anyone breaks the law, but I can point out that, in other countries, people do use coffee grounds.
'Mr Flowerdew said some gardeners used soft soap on plants to kill aphids, although this would also be technically illegal.
'As long as you say. "I'm not killing the aphids, I'm giving them a wash, but oh dear they seem to have died accidentally", it's okay.
'It's the British way: we work our way around the regulations.'
Correction: It USED to be 'the British way'.

Disappointing DVD releases

Re: Disappointing DVD releases

Poor wording on my part.
The earlier seasons were available in season form prior to season 7/8 releases, however they were some way behind the individual releases. Season 1 for example came out in season form 4 years after the series had aired on TV and at least 3 years after the individual DVD releases.
Season 1 is a bad example since that was never properly released individually in R2 - there was a 'best of season 1' set with Children of the Gods and the last 3 episodes, while 2 more episodes (IIRC Thor's Hammer and Hathor) were added as a bonus to the last disc in Season 2 - the rest of the season was never released outside of the boxsets
To be fair though, from what I remember the whole concept of complete season box sets never really caught on in the UK for several years - for years we were plagued with best of and single-disc releases - what boxsets did come out were extremely expensive at the time...

Quoting Quiverfull: Branded a "Destroyer"?
by Peter Bradrick from his Facebook The past decade of my life has been defined by my close relationship with my mentor and former spiritual father. Those who know me recognize my longstanding, fierce commitment to his family, his work, and his legacy. As soon as I caught wind of what was going on, I became very involved in working towards fulfilling the duties of friendship and brotherhood – to confront a man who has been like a father to me for a third of my life and plead with him to truthfully confess, and to genuinely take responsibility for longstanding betrayal of everything we had fought together for with the hope of ultimate restoration. … [Read more...]

Class, College, and Courtship: Why the next generation of Quiverfull will probably be poorer than their parents
by The Graduate I think that part of the reason that our family was never really considered true homeschoolers by some of our peers is because we had money. My dad is a brilliant businessman, and his success certainly did drive a wedge between us and our peers, and we were always viewed as different. It is true that we did the same things to save money that other homeschool families did, but we did them as our hobbies, not out of necessity. We never struggled with making the mortgage or worried about our cars breaking down. … [Read more...]

Stephen Keshi's side played out a dreadful 0-0 draw against Iran on Monday evening, providing the first stalemate of a thrilling tournament so far.
The Celtic defender was particularly wasteful, delivering a number of woeful crosses into the box in a frustrating performance.
Lennon, in Brazil working as a pundit for the BBC, jokingly put his poor crossing down to "a curly toe" and felt the display vindicated his decision to use Ambrose primarily as a centre-back during his time in charge at Parkhead.
"You can see why I played him at centre-half at Celtic," said the 42-year-old. "I think Stephen Keshi plays him in that position because he likes to be well-structured defensively, and Efe gives you that. But he doesn't have the technique to cross the ball.
"He is good at coming inside and looking for a shorter pass, but he can't cross the ball. He has what's called 'a curly toe' - you know you want to ping the ball straight but it tends to die towards the end. Efe has one of those, I'm afraid."
Despite only gaining a point against Iran - and looking some way short of the standards set by Bosnia-Herzegovina and Argentina during the latter's 2-1 win - Lennon believes Nigeria can still progress.
"The one saving grace for Nigeria is that maybe they are better at counter-attacking," he continued. "That may suit Nigeria and give them a chance."

Project Geologists in the United States take home an average $60K per year. Total cash compensation for Project Geologists runs from $42K to $83K depending on bonuses that can occasionally exceed $5K and profit sharing that can reach almost $3K. Most Project Geologists like their work and job satisfaction is high. Almost all enjoy medical while a fair number get dental coverage. Vision coverage is also available to the larger part. The majority of Project Geologists (66 percent) survey respondents are male. This snapshot results from replies to PayScale's salary survey.

Add this chart to your site:
Copy and paste this HTML:
A project geologist works in fields such as drilling and mining. They gather data at a site, analyze it, and create maps so that operations can be carried out effectively. A project geologist should also collect data regarding seismic occurrences and various formations, as well as identify risks associated with the operations so managers can decide whether work should continue in certain sites. In some positions, a project geologist is tasked with identifying new sites for carrying out company operations as well. Project geologists also perform tests to identify specific spots for carrying out drilling operations.Read More...
The tests that a project geologist carries out are often aided by computer programs such as Petra and SES Geosteering, with which the geologist should already have experience. The results of a geologist's tests should be organized and reported to management and other parties within a company. A project geologist should also keep up to date with the latest developments in equipment to continuously improve their methods. Additionally, this person should keep track of developments and data in other companies to find out about new opportunities and methods.
Some positions require a minimum of a bachelor's degree in a related field, while others may require at least a master's degree. A geologist should be able to work well on a team as well. The projects are carried out both indoors and outdoors; therefore, a geologist should be able to work in various weather conditions.
Project Geologists typically list a handful of skills they use on the job. Project Management and Environmental Consulting are considered valuable skills and can increase employee pay. Employees educated in Environmental Consulting are typically practiced in Project Management, too.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
