Another warm and humid day on tap to start out the week, but changes are on the way. High temperatures Monday will be in the upper 80's with mostly cloudy skies.
A cold front will move through in the evening hours tonight, bringing with it cooler and drier weather. Overnight low temperatures will fall into the lower 50's. The afternoon hours will feature some scattered clouds. These will last into the evening to help keep us a few degrees warmer than if we had clear skies.
We'll see another chance of rain later on in the week as a second cold front approaches the area. As of now, it looks like this weekend will feature some great weather. Forecast high temperatures will be in the upper 70's to near 80°. Overnight low temperatures will be back in the lower 50's.

Any antelope over 16" would work for me too!!
First time going to Wyoming thinking about applying for elk in area 120. I have only 1 point but gonna try anyway wondering if its a good unit for a first timer who would be happy with any bull. Also should draw a antelope tag in area 78 I have shot one antelope only 13 inches so anything over 16 would be plenty big for me is this a good unit any info will help . Thanks
Any antelope over 16" would work for me too!!
Hi, welcome to eastmans!
Welcome to the forum. No offense, but a 16" antelope is pretty high expections. Especially if you've only killed one. Unit 78 took 4 points & 120 took 6 points to draw in 2012. 5 points & less 3.6% in general & 3 points or less 8.3% in special. Good Luck!
Ok I thought 16 would be reasonable when we had a season In ND that was a pretty common size for the ones I seen but that's been a few years either way I really just want to know what I could expect to run into in that unit I don't consider myself a trophy hunter anyway. Thanks for the info hopefully I can get more mostly about the goats because unless the numbers change I should draw.
Yea I got to thinking how big my antelope was pulled out my tape a measured him more like about 10 and a half inches not 13. Then held up what 16 would look like yea I'm sure all the veteran antelope hunters got a good laugh.
Last edited by Eberle; 01-16-2013 at 08:31 PM.
2 points but will go in special draw
With two points in the general you should be able to draw 32, 48 or 69. Them are all really good units. If you don't mind spending the extra money for a special tag, 63 is really good. You should be able to get it in the special draw.

For a goodish few months, ending in a few harried hours on 13 / 14 April, my co-author and I were, as I put it, 'spending much of our time in the April North Atlantic – of 1912'. What I meant, of course, was that we – along with, it appears, much of the Western world – were writing a book for the centenary of the loss of RMS Titanic.
James Delingpole and Anne-Elisabeth Moutet of these pages were kind enough to furnish a dollop each of advance praise for the jacket; and what I wish to explore just now is something that emerged in our work. Our concern was not with the drama of the shipwreck, but rather with the drama of the US and UK wreck enquiries, the litigation that ensued in the US (which led to a very important Supreme Court judgement by Oliver… Read more

All this talk about Golden Showers and Gyros has me wondering, what is the coolest/stupidest thing you've ever done? Preferably when you where in college and when you were drunk. I really want to hear some hilarious stuff, so if it's a "friends" story, that's alright.
I'll start, last semester we were having a party at our house. As the night wore on, I started doing some drunk dancing. I got the great idea of doing the robot, but with a twist. As I did the robot, I would pour beer over my head and short circuit. Well, the short circuit idea was pure gold and I was the life of the party. As I was enjoying my glory, I joined a buddy leaning against the back of the couch who was laughing hysterically at me. I told him "I'd see him on the flip side" and proceeded to do a back flip off the couch cushions. Now, I'm not a small man so this was quite a feat and I needed all necessary momentum to make the full flip. In my need for power, I forgot to aim for the couch cushions and ended up missing totally. I landed on my neck with the full momentum of my body. That wasn't the worst part, my neck landed on a beer can. With help from my friends, who are very concerned at this point, I was able to sit up straight. Struggling to regain my balance/consciousness, someone offered me a flask pull of Johnny Walker. Needing to re-prove my awesomeness after the failed flip, I did a huge pull and then proceed to stumble outside and puke my guts out. For the next week, I was unable to fully turn my head. I was lucky I didn't break my neck. That said, It was still a great night.
Now, what do ya' got?
seriously, if i told half of them, i'd probably be in jail tomorrow.

Statute of limitations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Honestly, I understand. I'm the same way, most of the stuff I've done is illegal, but that's why it can be a "friends" story. Or just pick something that's not illegal.
Ok far too lazy to type this all up... fortuantly the Facebook group for the story still exsists
This story is not about me, and was not written by me, but close enough I'm not changing it.
"Screw the Drunk Bus, Lets ride the Drunk Train!"
Ok maybe you have heard the story and maybe you havn't.. but anyway a fellow Iowa Stater was at a party one night somewhere behind Chi Omega, when he decides to go back to his lovely room at Helser. Needless to say, he never made it. He head straight north of where he was at and ended up in a ditch full of tall weeds and a horse barn nearby. As he got out of the ditch, he found a train sitting on its tracks. Some how the poor drunken man new that if he crossed the tracks he was going to find Helser. As he crawled on top of the coupling links the train started to move. In his drunken state the train got to moving pretty fast before he realized he needed to get off. If you have ever been out by Freddy court and seen how fast this train moves you will understand why he couldn't jump. As smart as a drunken guy gets he decided it was a good idea to tighten the brakes. No... not the brakes to the whole train but to the coal car he was on. After the carts brakes turned red hot and didn't even begin to slow the train, he decided to crawl over the cart and tighten some more. Bad idea! Once in the coal cart, he could not get down. The man was in a tee-shirt with the train moving on one of the coldest nights I think we had all year. Pretty soon another train blew by in the other direction blowing dust all over the poor fella. After it dawned on him that this was bad and he was probably to Chicago by now, he decided to dial our favorite 3 digit number. Drunkman - Hi.. I am stuck on a train. 911 - Um.. are you drunk? Drunkman also underage - Umm..no? It ended up he was actually heading west. By tracking his cell phone they discovered he was close to Marshalltown, which is 40 miles from Ames. The deputy that picked him up, quickly smelled the alcohol on him, but was nice and said if he blew under the limit .08 that he would let him go. Well he obviously wasn't that lucky because not only did he blow .09 and get public intox, but the train also charged him from private property truspassing. When I went to get him from jail the next morning, he was still covered in coal dust and he lost his favorite hat on the ride. Not to mention my other passanger puked in my truck. So next time people wanna ride the drunk bus, just remember that there is a drunk train out there -(included with big fines).
Oh we will fight, fight, fight for Iowa State,
and may her colors ever fly!!!
In Accordance with Prophecy
Okay well....here I go.
About 7 years ago I went to a party where I started talking to this girl. Very nice, cute girl that started flirting with me. Started holding my arm and even kissed a few times.
Well I went and got a beer and when I came back and saw here I gave her a little pench on the butt to tell her I was back. All of a sudden she just flipped and yelled "Don't grab my @ss!" And out of no where, BOOM! Hit by a fist.
I had a nice bloody nose and a bit dazed. Come to find out this girl had a boyfriend, and the boyfriend was BIG! My friends grabbed me and said it was time to leave. I was fine with that since I heard the girl calling me names and throwing crap at me while I was standing up. I just told me friends to lead me to the bathroom first.
That is where I got my revenge. I peed in her shampoo and conditioner....and maybe her aluffa. Still might be kind of proud about that!
So that might not be the most exciting story ever, but I thought it was pretty funny. That or when I climbed a pine tree in high school during our "Health Class" (we had a health walk) and started throwing pine cones at Mrs. Harrison.
Beat'm up Cyclones
this is pretty tame: we were tailgating in the grass lot after a late game and 4 of us decided to walk back to our place on Stanton ... it was the drunk leading the drunk and no one realized where we were headed until we showed up at the "new Hy-vee" parking lot (that's east hy-vee to you young'ns). At that point everybody kind of instantly sobered up as we all geared up for the long walk home ... again.
oh, and I walked in the wrong house on Ragbrai. Long story short, had to take a whiz - walked in the a house in the early AM hours and the bathroom wasn't where it was the night before. It's a pretty aweful feeling, even when you're drunk. The owner didn't see the humor in it either.

I've done something similar minus the microwave. It involved a basement stairway and me trying to mess with 3 people down there. I turned the light off to take a dump on the steps, however, they found the light switch before I was done and they saw a turd during mid-crap. Earlier that night people were taking dumps off the roof onto people below. I swear that wasn't my idea.

That one seems kind of familiar...
Spring break in Mexico. Started drinking before I knew where we were staying. Damn near got stranded in Rocky Point Mexico.
Met a girl, and lost all friends that night. Went home with her. The next morning and two flat tires on her car later (that is another story), still no friends. Oh, this was in the land before cell phones (at least for me).
Finally found friends at the bar we started out at, its where I figured they would look for me. They spent the day before scouring the police station, hospitals, morgue, etc.
Yeah I was pretty sure this thread topic has already come up...
And if it has I definitely posted that story. By far the best drunk story I've got

I had a 6lb Boston Butt and used two packages of lipton onion soup mix and 3 cups of the bbq sauce and cut up a large vidallia onion and cooked on high for about 7 hours and just shredded it with forks and then poured some of the juice from the pot onto the meat so it wouldnt dry out. My family loved it. And we didnt even need the cheese slices.
Love this! So easy and it tastes soooo good. My family loved it. I picked up some telera rolls from the bakery and they were perfect. I didn't use the cheese singles. It didn't need it.

|Biersdorfer takes over as PC sheriff's deputy
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
A familiar face has returned to law enforcement in Phillips County as Phil Biersdorfer has stepped in as the new sheriff's deputy for the Phillips County Sheriff's Office, starting July 20. Biersdorfer previously served as Holyoke's police chief.
With four decades of law enforcement experience under his belt, Biersdorfer is looking forward to returning to working as a full-time peace officer. Since his departure from HPD in 2011, Biersdorfer has worked as a part-time deputy with the Phillips County Sheriff's Office, helping with prisoner transports and court security.
While helping people and making a difference in the community are all driving factors for Biersdorfer, he admits that the diversity of the job also plays a role in his years of commitment to law enforcement. Being able to interact with citizens is also one of Biersdorfer's favorite aspects of the job.
"Not every traffic stop is a ticket, but it is an opportunity to talk with someone and to make another ally in keeping everybody safe," Biersdorfer said.
The hardest part of the profession for Biersdorfer is witnessing the pain people so recklessly cause each other.
"I don't appreciate what people can do to each other, whether it is domestic violence issues, assaults or people driving drunk, there are a lot of things that are obvious that they could avoid," Biersdorfer said.
"I have seen a lot of good people who have been injured in drunk driving accidents, and I have known people who have gotten pretty messed up in domestic violence issues, and those are all things that people can avoid if they just treat each other by the golden rule."
Entering what he hopes is his last chapter in his long career, Biersdorfer's aim remains to help make Phillips County a safe place for everyone.
"My goal is for women and children to be able to take a walk in the evening and not have to be worried about being attacked, molested, harassed or anything like that," Biersdorfer explained. "It has always been my goal in my career to make the area I serve a safer place."
Biersdorfer first came to Holyoke in 2003 after a short-lived retirement as chief of police at the Eagle Police Department where he served for nearly 30 years.
With his wife Terri having an equally busy work schedule as the building official for the City of Holyoke and the librarian at Holyoke Elementary School, Biersdorfer said the two try to set aside at least one night a week to go out and spend time together. Biersdorfer said, "I like to spend time with my family as most married folks do."
The couple is raising two children in their home, Tori and Isaiah Hatton.
Biersdorfer is also a member of the Civil Air Patrol, an auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force. He currently holds rank as colonel in the Rocky Mountain Region as program director in the counter drug program.
The counter drug program assists agencies with aviation resources for non-specific, non-surveillance types of flights to overlook areas that might contain illegal grow operations.
While he hasn't flown in missions in a while, he has helped with search and rescue missions in the past. Biersdorfer said he is equally passionate about his work with the Civil Air Patrol as he is about his work in law enforcement.
Biersdorfer is appreciative of the opportunity to continue to serve Phillips County.
"I am very happy that Sheriff Urbach showed the confidence in me to put me on, and I certainly want to do right for him," Biersdorfer said.

Lana Del Rey has responded to criticism from Kurt Cobain's daughter following a controversial U.K. interview in which the singer seemingly romanticized the deaths of young musicians.
The comments came under fire from Frances Bean Cobain earlier this week after talking about the premature passing of artists like the Nirvana frontman and Amy Winehouse in an article for Britain's The Guardian newspaper.
EXTRA: Remembering Kurt Cobain
The 21-year-old took aim at Del Rey in a post on Twitter.com, writing, "The death of young musicians isn't something to romanticize. I'll never know my father because he died young and it becomes a desirable feat because people like you think it's 'cool'. Well, it's (expletive) not. Embrace life, because you only get one life."
I'm not attacking anyone. I have no animosity towards Lana, I was just trying to put things in perspective from personal experience.
— Frances Bean Cobain (@alka_seltzer666) June 23, 2014
Del Rey has already accused reporter Tim Jonze of asking "sinister" questions about death, and she was quick to respond to Cobain.
Replying to her tweet, she wrote, "It's all good. He (the reporter) was asking me a lot about your dad I said I liked him because he was talented not because he died young. The other half of what I said wasn't really related to the people he mentioned/ I don't find that part of music glam either."
Jonze has since published sounds bites from his interview with the singer, and in a follow-up article, wrote, "(Del Rey) seems annoyed by the fact I wanted her to say interesting things and asked questions that caused her to do so. Well sorry, Lana, but that's just me doing my job."

|Sluggers compete in Sterling
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
The Holyoke Sluggers posted a 2-2 record at the Sterling baseball tournament for ages 12 and under Friday-Sunday, May 31-June 2.
Holyoke, comprised of 10-11-year-olds, fell to the Sterling Tigers in Friday's match 4-3. The game was back and forth with the Tigers gaining the lead in the final inning for the win.
Mason King led the Sluggers with a pair of singles in the loss.
Caleb Deaver had a strong performance on the mound for the Sluggers. He struck out eight Sterling batters and didn't give up a single base on balls, while allowing seven hits.
On Saturday, the Sluggers squared off with a team from Sidney, Neb. Holyoke won the match by a score of 7-2.
King and Trevor Peterson had success at the plate as they both accounted for a pair of singles.
Xander Speicher, King and Blake Mosenteen handled pitching responsibilities in the game. They combined to strike out four, walk five and allow just two hits.
Sunday morning the Sluggers were victorious in a lopsided win over Fort Morgan, winning 17-5.

Miles Sprague, Mosenteen and Speicher combined to strike out seven batters, walk six and allow two hits.

What he said I have read all of them too!!
I just finished reading Mike's book on elk hunting. I have now read all of the books he has written and I am impressed with how much knowledge he has stored away over the years. I also like his matter of fact writing style. I would recommend reading his books if you haven't yet. Even a seasoned back country hunter will be entertained and take away information from these books.
Last edited by In God We Trust; 06-21-2013 at 08:51 PM.
A bad day in the woods is better than a good day at work.
Shoot the best, Shoot PSE!
What he said I have read all of them too!!
I couldn't agree more with the above comments. I have all of Mike's books as well and have read all of them more than once. I will probably open a couple again this year before the season gets here.
same here! Great information, especially on estimating trophy size. you can't go wrong with these in your library.
Re reading the first mule deer book currently. Learn some new tactics each time I read it. Very helpful when switching from archery to later season hunts. Its a different ballgame for sure.
Mike does a great job. I especially like that his love for the animals he hunts comes through. You can tell by all the photography he does and the material he includes on understanding the game.
But, I am most impressed by how diligent he is in keeping a detailed record of what he sees, when, where, under what conditions, time of day and year, and so forth. I don't know anyone else that keeps that many notes.
When you get older you start having to write things down because your memory no longer keeps good track of things. But it's apparent Mike started a long time ago with his notes. What a treasure trove!
I have Mike's book Hunting Trophy Antelope - A DIY Guide and it's excellent. I consider it "the bible" on Pronghorn hunting. The DVD that comes with it is also very good. Like hardstalk said, the more I read it and watch the DVD, the more I learn.
There's so much information, you can't absorb it all in one reading.

All of Mike's books are great in my opinion. For anybody that is going on their first elk, deer or antelope hunt, I always highly recommend to get the associated book.
I have all of his books but have not read the antelope book. Have read parts of his latest muley book. Every one that I have read is great. I absolutely love the old stories. He could write a book on all of his and his Dad Gordon's hunting stories with a DVD showing old footage of thier hunts or wildlife in general and I would buy it in a heartbeat. fatrascal.

- Suspect arrested on charges of possession of a destructive device
A volunteer paramedic who was one of the first on the scene of a fire and massive explosion last month at a fertilizer plant in West, Texas, was arrested early Friday and charged with possession of a destructive device, The Dallas Morning News reported.
Officials have not said whether the arrest of Bryce Reed, 31, is related to the April 17 explosion at the West Fertilizer Co. that killed 14 people, injured around 200 and destroyed hundreds of homes in the vicinity, the newspaper said.
The arrest came as Texas law enforcement officials on Friday said they had launched a criminal investigation into the massive fertilizer plant explosion.
News 92 FM in Houston reported that Reed, who is with the West Emergency Medical Services, was one of the early first responders to the scene of the catastrophe and was assigned to be the incident commander at the scene. News 92 FM said authorities indicated that the explosive device was a pipe bomb.
U.S. Marshals arrested Reed around 2 a.m. and and booked him into McLennan County Jail in Waco, the News reported.
The newspaper said Reed had spoken to The Dallas Morning News and the Los Angeles Times in the immediate aftermath of the explosion about his experience.
In the interview with the Los Angeles Times on the day after the explosion, Reed said that his best friend, an emergency worker, had also responded to the fire that preceded the blast.
Bryce Reed said he was ordered to go just south of the fire to take over as incident commander while his friend stayed at the scene of the blaze and was there when the explosion occurred.
"He was my best friend. He got me help through the crisis in my life. He's my brother," Reed told the Times.
Although Reed did not identify his friend by name in the article, he was later identified as Cyrus Reed. A photo of the distraught paramedic attending a memorial service for the victims was widely circulated.
Until now, Investigators have largely treated the explosion as an industrial accident, but the Texas Department of Public Safety said in statement that the agency has now instructed the Texas Rangers and the McLennan County Sheriff's Department to conduct a criminal probe.
"This disaster has severely impacted the community of West, and we want to ensure that no stone goes unturned and that all the facts related to this incident are uncovered," DPS Director Steven McCraw said.
McLennan County Sheriff Parnell McNamara said residents "must have confidence that this incident has been looked at from every angle and professionally handled - they deserve nothing less."
WFAA-TV in Dallas reported last week that the state fire marshal had told lawmakers that the on-site investigation into the cause of the explosion would be completed by May 10. The report quoted officials as saying the probe involved 300 interviews based on 160 leads.

Trey Hillman Media Session: Joe Mauer, Luke Hochevar
Mister .400?
It's getting later in the season, we are almost into September and Joe Mauer is hitting .378, do you think he can bat .400? Well, Royals manager Trey Hillman doesn't quite think it's possible in today's baseball. "Listen, I got to know this young man during the All-Star break, it couldn't happen to a nicer guy and no one is more capable, but I just don't see it happening. There are lots of games left in the season, the video these guys watch on each player is astounding, and let's not forgot how often he is going to be pitched around. It would be fantastic to see, but I would be shocked."
Luke Hochevar
Hillman was asked what do we need to see from Luke tonight to get him back on track. "What he needs to do is be more consistent with his command and locate his fastball effectively. Luke needs to keep the ball down and induce groundballs, that is when he is dominant. He knows how to attack hitters, he just needs to pitch where he knows he can in the zone. These are bumps in the road that most professionals will go through, but he is growing as a pitcher."

The depth and number of wrinkles are markedly reduced, discoloration is diminished, and sun damage is repaired. Smooth this rich cream over clean skin every evening to improve firmness and elasticity. Overnight, the complexion is refined and rejuvenated.

This well-tolerated form of retinoid penetrates deep in to the skin, repairing photodamage and preventing further damage from the sun's harmful rays. Advanced peptides stimulate the production of new skin cells, improving the texture and tone of the complexion. By applying this complex to areas of concern every morning and evening, skin will become visibly younger, smoother, and firmer.

Hi all,
I just did a backup and restore of zimbra 8 (Release 8.0.5_GA_5839.RHEL6_64_20130910123908 RHEL6_64 FOSS edition.) on a different server.
Here is the environment: Source(64bit Hardware with 8G Memory) and Destination(64bit Hardware with 2G Memory) I backup the source then restore in the destination. I am successful with the backup and restore if the destination has 8G Memory but fails if it has 2G Mem. I'm failing on starting the mailbox services of zimbra.
I just want to know what settings should i change in (maybe in mysql settings) for me to run/downgrade it on destination having only 2G Memory.
Best Regards,

When he announced in Paris, on a winter's evening in 1892, the forthcoming re-establishment of the Olympic Games, Pierre de Coubertin was applauded, but nobody at the time imagined the scale of the project entailed by reviving the ancient Olympic Games, appointing a committee in charge of organising them and creating an international movement. The IOC was created on 23 June 1894; the 1st Olympic Games of the modern era opened in Athens on 6 April 1896; and the Olympic Movement has not stopped growing ever since. The Olympic Movement encompasses organisations, athletes and other persons who agree to be guided by the principles of the Olympic Charter. Its composition and general organisation are governed by Chapter 1 of the Charter. The Movement comprises three main constituents:
The goal of the Olympic Movement is to contribute to building a peaceful and better world by educating youth through sport practised without discrimination or any kind, in a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play.
The Olympic Movement is defined also by the numerous activities in which it engages, such as:
The Olympic Charter is the codification of the Fundamental Principles, Rules and Bye-laws adopted by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). It governs the organisation and running of the Olympic Movement and sets the conditions for the celebration of the Olympic Games.

About 15 minutes later he decided to take another trail that would skirt him around the tree I was in. Too bad for him that trail took him through another shooting lane at 23yds. It was the last mistake he would ever make! From that day on I have made it a point to stick with it after getting busted.

text: By Pastor Vince CarrigSports Writer Shania Metcalf's swish at the foul line, Michi Prante's steal and breakaway and Jessi Hoffert's three point shot in the fourth quarter captured fifth place for the Lady Plainsmen in the South Platte Valley Association tournament Saturday at North Platte Community College with a 52-17 rout of Maxwell. A balanced Perkins County scoring attack piled up nine points apiece for Metcalf and Prante, eight for Brandie Ross and seven points for Jessi Hoffert. "Our offense was definitely clicking in this game," Lady Plainsmen Head Coach Deanne Bishop said after the game. "The girls did a better job of looking to score instead of expecting someone else to do it; we had six girls score six or more points in the game, and eight girls score in this match." A heartbreaking 37-36 overtime loss to Chase County shortened the Perkins County girls' week by sending them directly to Saturday's fifth-place game. Ross, Matisyn Humphrey and Courtney Ostermiller all hit mid-range jump shots in the third quarter to balloon their Lady Plainsmen's lead to 33-8.Only guard Anna Crane really responded to Perkins County's third quarter point barrage, reaching from just inside the arc and driving for a Maxwell free throw. The Lady Plainsmen's "one and done" defensive rebounding performance ground Maxwell to single-digit points in each quarter. Metcalf snuffed four shots and cleaned off four rebounds; Ross clamped onto eight rebounds and stole the ball twice. The Hershey Lady Panthers defeated the North Platte–St. Pat's Lady Irish 44-30 to win the tournament, with Sutherland taking third place after a 49-21 victory over Chase County.Next Action The 8-7 Lady Plainsmen remain home for games against Sedgwick County on Thursday night and a rematch against 3-11 Maxwell on Friday.P.C. 52, Maxwell 17Maxwell 5 3 4 5–17Perkins Co. 14 14 9 15–52 Scoring leaders–Perkins County: Metcalf 4FG 1/2FT–9; Prante 2 (1[x3]) 2/2–9; Ross 4–8; Hoffert, J.

Canasta for Two

Games.com online 'Canasta for Two' the two player version of our free online 'Canasta' game. You have the option of playing two player or single player 'Canasta for Two'. Canasta (Spanish for "basket") is a card game originating in Uruguay, in which players attempt to make melds of 7 cards of the same rank, and "go out" by playing all cards in their hand and discarding. Canasta is commonly played by four players in two partnerships with two standard decks of cards, but many Canasta variations exist for 2-3 and 6-player canasta games or teams. This version of Canasta is widespread, especially in the United States, and it was the official tournament version used by the American Canasta Association. American Canasta can be found in few books. One notable exception is Scarne's Encyclopedia of Card Games, where the author claims to have invented a game which he calls International Canasta. Most of the elements of Modern American Canasta can be found in Scarne's International Canasta, although there are some differences.

Eiland treasures opportunity with KC
Last month, Royals manager Ned Yost was asked what he wanted in a pitching coach. Yost mentioned that he was seeking someone who worked hard and had a long playing career while having mediocre stuff. Naturally, the first question for new Kansas City pitching coach Dave Eiland in today's conference call with reporters centered on whether he fit the bill. Eiland was very candid in his self-evaluation as a pitcher, saying that his "stuff" was probably even south of mediocre. He had to work very hard to stay in the game by studying hitters and other pitchers during a playing career that spanned 14 seasons, including parts of 10 seasons in the Majors.
Eiland is proud and honored to be in the Royals organization. The Florida resident recently spent a day with Ned Yost at the manager's farm in Georgia. While he didn't drive a tractor or go hunting with the skipper, Eiland found that they share similar personal and professional philosophies. He later met with Dayton Moore and the Royals baseball operations staff in Kansas City, where Eiland again discovered similar goals and beliefs.
Eiland is eager for Spring Training to begin, though he'll have to wait until February. At the moment, his number one priority is to familiarize himself with the club's pitchers. He expects to be poring over video of his new pupils by Wednesday and soon after will begin reaching out to the pitchers.
He knows that the Royals have a strong collection of good, young power arms. Eiland has experience working with young arms from his time with Yankees – both as a minor league coach and as the club's Major League pitching coach from 2008 to 2010. Eiland can also pass along personal knowledge of what it's like to make it to "the show" at a young age – he debuted for the Yankees at age 22 after just one appearance at the Triple-A level.

Thinking about getting a teacher
Hi everyone
So I'm self taught and have been playing for about three years now, Started with Hal leonard guitar method book 1 and after that I messed around with some classical before turning to rock.
Big thing is I don't really know what I should be practicing. Right now I'm just going back and cleaning up my alternate picking and trying to learn a couple of songs(I suffer from "Learn to play half a riff badly and move on" syndrome ).
I don't have a problem with practicing, heck I've put in a lot of good practice time (apparently practicing the wrong things though ). I just need some direction and I'm thinking a good teacher might speed my progress up.
So is a teacher worth it?, what makes a good teacher, what quality('s) should I look for, how many lesson should I take?,
Thanks in advance for any help
Shallow and pedantic.

If you can afford it then I would definitely say having a good teacher is worth it. There's a lot about the face to face interaction that being taught by video or text just does not and never will have.
For a teacher, you don't want to be impressed by someone's playing ability; a good player is not automatically a good teacher. You need to find someone who can understand what you want out of the instrument and who can communicate effectively, that's really the entirety of teaching - communication. Also if you go to a teacher and they give you a bunch of songs to learn without explaining why or what the benefit will be, move on, that's not the kind of person students should be giving their money to.
As for how many lessons to take... keep taking lessons until your teacher has run out of things to teach. Then find a new teacher and learn everything they have to teach. Rinse and repeat until you're dead or you run out of money. Seriously, all good teachers will have something to teach any student so learn as much as you possibly can from all of them.
Finally, and I cannot impress this upon you enough: if at any point you have any uncertainties or questions about what they're teaching you or something you feel they've missed or anything like that: ASK THEM. You're going to be giving this person money in exchange for knowledge so make the most of it. I can't tell you the number of times someone has come in here with a question and somewhere in the question have been the words "my teacher said" or something similar; get your money's worth and ask any questions you have, if they can't deal with the questions or tell you to stop asking then move on. No one should ever be told to stop asking questions.

Yes definitely, a teacher is a fantastic move for a motivated musician that feels a bit lost in the sea of guitar and music in general. There is so much to practice and so much to learn. I was mostly self taught at the beginning and the only teacher I had was the Internet, it wasn't until I got a real guitar teacher that things started to click together better and faster. Unfortunately the guy didn't have a stable home life and we only worked together for about six months before I was back to teaching myself. Now that I'm a teacher myself, it's so much fun working with the motivated ones. So go find a teacher, but have a good idea of what you want to learn when you go in and hopefully the teacher can give you the skills to build up to where you want to be... And if they are a good teacher they'll give you skills that you don't know you need yet and when you realize you have them you'll be thankful that you got a good teacher.

Zaphod makes some excellent points.
If you feel like you are lost and don't know what to practice to grow (FASTER), then getting a teacher is an EXCELLENT investment BUT only if you find a good teacher
So, my Golden advice to you:
1) Do not buy a package of lessons. Sign up for ONE lesson. Then if you like the guy and you feel like he is meeting your needs, take another. Once you have 2 or 3 and can tell you'll like him over the long haul, sure you can buy a package.
But it's important to be able to cut your losses and move on if it's not a good fit (just like a girlfriend)
2) Make sure that you feel this guy is feeding you information, NOT just blazing through examples and showing you how good of a player he is
"Yeah, you are good. How does that help me???????"
3) Embrace your Foolshness/Shame/Embarrasment. Admit to yourself right now that this guy is going to be WAY awesome and when you play you are going to sound like Shit AND Stop Caring This guy is Yoda. You do NOT need to impress him. He will share the secret of all your weaknesses. It is your audience you need to impress.
Once you drop your ego and focus on learning you will grow WAY faster.
You should make mistakes in front of your instructor - so he can help you correct them and grow past them.
You should ask "dumb" questions that make you feel silly - so he can answer them and you will now be wise.
4) Be Honest about what Your most important goals are right now. Don't be afraid to change your goals and "make" him work with you on someting different from last week. He is your employee, you don't work for him.
If you don't know what your goals are, just tell him you want to work on your foundation.
5) I highly recommend splitting your time between
a) learning songs
b) learning techniques
It doesn't do you any good if you practice 100% technique - you still can't play music.
It doesn't do you any good if you practice 100% songs - you technique is probably horrible and it's starting to get engrained FOR LIFE.
Happy Jammin!

All the advice give here is excellent and thorough. You've got your checklist to begin the search
My advice, make sure you find a teacher that you have, well, chemistry with--one that you want to work with, not just because of what they can teach you, but one you are truly comfortable with and would look forward to seeing. Hey when you get right down to it, it's still practice, and motivation is IMO the most valuable asset a player must have!
