1. I'm too lazy not to program: 07:26
Yesterday, I imported five years of blog posts into Wordpress through RSS. This would have been _painful_ if I wasn't comfortable with programming. With 4587 posts in 2596 files, I wouldn't have even thought about copying them over manually. Instead, I would have just started with a clean slate. I didn't think anyone's really going to want to go back and see everything I've written on my blog. ;) Who was going to notice?
But five years of blog posts—reflections, ideas, notes, interesting links—might still be worth something, so I decided to give it a shot. Initially, I wrote a function which visited files, searched for notes, and added the note to one big RSS feed. However, this slowed down too much when I hit megabytes, so I changed it to dump each note to a file in a directory.
;(sacha/planner-dump-rss "~/public_html/blog-dump/" nil nil) (defun sacha/planner-dump-rss (directory from to) (let ((pages (planner-get-day-pages from to)) (planner-rss-feed-limits nil) (planner-rss-initial-contents "") buffer) (while pages (condition-case err2 (progn (planner-find-file (caar pages)) (setq buffer (current-buffer)) (unwind-protect (progn (goto-char (point-min)) (while (re-search-forward "^\\.#\\([0-9]+\\)" nil t) (save-excursion (condition-case err (progn (let ((inhibit-read-only t) (file (concat directory (caar pages) "-" (match-string 1)))) (planner-rss-add-note file) (find-file file) (save-buffer 0) (kill-buffer (current-buffer)))) (error (message "Problems processing note on %s: %s" (caar pages) (error-message-string err))))))) (kill-buffer buffer))) (error (message "Problems processing %s: %s" (caar pages) (error-message-string err2)))) (setq pages (cdr pages)))))
I then concatenated all of these files using
cat header 200* footer > dump.rdf
This file was still much too big, so I manually split it by year, copying and pasting text into different files. I used http://www.feedvalidator.org to check for errors. After Feedvalidator verified that the files were all valid RSS, I tried to import them into Feedwordpress. Nope, still too big. I needed to trim them to around 400k, so I used the following code on the server:
(defun sacha/split-dump () (interactive) (goto-char (min 400000 (point-max))) (let ((counter 0) (base-name (file-name-sans-extension buffer-file-name))) (while (not (eobp)) (re-search-backward "<item>") (kill-region (match-beginning 0) (point-max)) (insert "</channel></rss>") (save-buffer 0) (find-file (format "%s%d.rdf" base-name counter)) (erase-buffer) (goto-char (point-min)) (insert "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?> <rss version=\"2.0\"> <channel> <title>M-x plan :: sachachua's blog</title> <link>http://sachachua.com/notebook/wiki/today.php</link> <description>Sacha Chua's blog about Emacs, personal information management, open source, and random stuff</description>") (yank) (setq counter (1+ counter)) (goto-char (min 400000 (point-max))))))
This program looks complicated, but it really isn't. In fact, I could have probably done something just as powerful with keyboard macros, not writing a single line of code. But the code was easy to write, and I figured that I'd keep it around just in case I needed to do something like this again.
After a little bit of manual tweaking, I got all the entries into http://sachachua.com/wp/ .
The ability to write short programs quickly and interactively has not only saved me so much time, but it's also made it possible for me to even _think_ of doing some things. =) I could probably have written the same snippets in Perl or Ruby, but being able to combine manual editing and automated operations in the text editor made it just so much faster. I really like being able to scan back and forth in buffers easily in Emacs, instead of thinking in terms of file streams as in other programming languages.
If you work with lots of text, I definitely recommend learning Emacs Lisp, or whatever language your editor can be programmed in. I started by reading other people's source code and the Emacs Lisp Intro and Emacs Lisp info files. I reread them countless times, picking up a little more each time I went through. Now Emacs Lisp is one of the first things I turn to whenever I want to save time doing something complex and repetitive on the computer, such as adding everyone's pictures to a wiki page. (That's a story for next time!)
Emacs is awesome stuff. More than 20 years old, it's the most advanced program I've ever used. What makes it special? It's _definitely_ optimized for the power user, and it provides so many reasons to become one.

2. Lost some comments in the shuffle: 21:17
One of the downsides of posting code on your blog is that you tend to confuse your blogging software. In this case, some stray tags that I used in my RSS dumping code resulted in lots of errors in my blog. In a tizzy over the bug, I forgot about the first two public comments ever posted on my Wordpress blog, and I accidentally deleted them while trying to refresh my blog posts. This is a pity, as they were particularly nice comments too.
Ah, life. That's okay.
Just wanted to let you know what happened to them. And kids, if you're going to do this kind of shuffling around... save your data somewhere!

3. Learning how to tell stories: 21:34
Thanks to Michael Nielsen and Jennifer Dodd for highly recommending Made to Stick, a great book about storytelling. It arrived at the same time as The Elements of Persuasion, which made a terrific complementary read. Book notes to follow. =)

4. Add joy to your job title: 21:53
Over at Matt's Idea Blog, Matthew Cornell has listed some of the coolest job titles he's seen. Not only that, he links to the people who've given themselves those job titles. Check those out for inspiration, and add joy to your own job description. Passion Catalyst! Continuous Self-Improvement Guru! =) How can you not want to get to know people like that?
What's my title? I'm somewhat in between titles. I'm moving away from being a tech evangelist because it doesn't capture my focus on processes and practices. I help companies help people connect. I want to get really good at spotting and telling great stories, refining and sharing best practices, and exploring new tools and new ways of doing things. I want to help companies enable more connection, more conversation, more collaboration... and more innovation. And I want to do all that and make it _fun._ Fun the way discovering how small the world is when you discover that the other person in the elevator with you also reads tons of books and you end up chatting about great reads all the way to the cafeteria and all throughout lunch. Connection is fun. Networking is fun. I want to make it easy.

5. Optimizing your action loop: 22:47
If you want to be radically more effective at doing things, get better at deciding what to do. Few things are more personal than figuring out what you're going to do with your life: at this moment, for this day, for the next few years. Few decisions are made as frequently. If you can improve the way you make that decision, you'll reap the benefits everywhere.
We've all developed some ways of coping. We all have our quirks. One of mine is that I can't settle on one way of planning my tasks. Some days, I'm all strategic and top-down, connecting my life goals with the tasks I plan to do that day. Other days, I just need to get a crucial task out of my head so that I don't forget it while hunting for my keys. Some days, I block out time to work on my priority projects. Other days, I have to work around other people's schedules, so it's all about cramming whatever I can into whenever I've got.
Now think of all the other geeks out there, and you'll understand how to-do list programs might outnumber programmers. Despite the collective efforts of companies like Microsoft and IBM, despite the coolness of Web 2.0 services like Remember the Milk, despite the renaissance of paper-based planners such as the Hipster PDA, I have never found anything as powerful as a plain text file in terms of personal productivity: a plain text file with shortcuts that are form-fitted to the way I work.
Here's what my workday looks like:
- I do a _quick_ scan of e-mail to see if any tasks have come in. I copy those into my inbox. I resist the urge to reply right away, as that turns e-mail into a huge timesink.
- 5-10 minutes are enough to schedule and prioritize my tasks for the day. I see both my calendar and my task list at the same time, and I can estimate my load. I leave plenty of space for things that come up. I feel better when I finish my scheduled tasks and then cross off a few more, than when I don't finish everything I planned and I have to postpone tasks to the next day.
- I work on my highest-priority task for the day.
- _Then_ I respond to e-mail.
- Then I work through everything else in roughly 45-minute chunks, with some downtime in between to recharge my brain and take care of routine tasks.
- My computer is set up to encourage me to take 10-second breaks every 5 minutes and 2.5 minute breaks every hour. The numbers are arbitrary, but the result feels good. This works out even better when I work from home: 2.5 minutes is just enough time to clear the sink, or to empty the dishwasher, or to start some tea...
A plain text file keeps me all organized, thanks to the Org module for the Emacs text editor. The text file shows me what's on my horizon and what's on today's schedule. The text file helps me deal with interruptions because it keeps track of what I was working on and what I need to do.
The text file even helps me learn more about myself and my skills through detailed time-tracking. Every time I start a task, the clock starts. Every time I mark a task as waiting or done, the clock stops, and the elapsed time is stored in the task. This helps me tune my time estimates and report time at the end of the week.
And it's just amazing. I don't feel that I waste a lot of time. I have a sense of progress. I can see the big picture, and things almost never fall through the cracks. (When they do, that's because I hadn't gotten around to putting them in my text file yet.) Sure, this still doesn't give me enough time to do everything I want to do, but I don't feel stressed out about it because I'm working well. From now on, most of the performance improvement will come from improving my skills and learning more.
If I can do this much as a new hire with a pretty nifty task management system, think about what you can do with all your experience. What _could_ you do if you spent less time fighting with your memory or with your TODO system, and more time making the difference you want to make?
Random Emacs symbol: edebug-stop - Command: Stop execution and do not continue.

WEST UNION, W.Va. - At least on paper, the reign of domination by the St. Marys cross country teams very well could come to an end early this evening when the annual Little Kanawha Conference championships take place at Doddridge County Park.
Led by three-time individual victor Maggie Drazba, the Blue Devil girls have captured the last four team titles while the boys have been victorious each of the past three years. However, the Blue Devil boys aren't ranked in the top 10 in the latest runwv.com rankings while the girls are rated seventh in the state behind No. 4 Williamstown and No. 6 Ravenswood.
"The girls, you know, we've been battling with Williamstown pretty close all year and Ravenswood as well," said SMHS head coach Glenda Cottrill. "I think it's going to be a battle between the three teams to win it.
"It will be interesting to see how this plays out. We're going to have to have all of our cards on the table to pull it off. I think everybody is healthy now. I think we'll be at our best this week as far as the boys are concerned."
Doddridge County enters the LKC championships with the No. 4 ranked boys team in the state and is followed by No. 8 Williamstown and No. 10 Ritchie County. Less than two weeks ago at the Ritchie County Invitational, it was St. Marys which had the best finish of all the LKC schools.
"This is probably the most wide open it's been in a while and you can't fully ever count out Ravenswood lurking in the background," said Bulldog head coach Craig Kellar.
While Drazba is the top overall female runner in the Mountain State, the Bulldogs have been led by senior Caleb Moore. Moore, ranked fifth in Class AA/A according to runwv.com, has been in close battles all year long with Ritchie County's Johnny Hogue. The junior Hogue, who beat Moore by nine seconds at the Ritchie County Invitational and by just seven ticks last weekend at the Times Invitational in Fairmont, is ranked second in Class AA/A.
"It should be a good race," Kellar added of the Moore/Hogue battle. "Hogue is a good all around athlete and he's pretty nifty I'm sure on hill and turns.
"Maybe eventually Caleb will get him once, but Caleb will give it his best. He's a senior, but Hogue's good and Jordan Whitehair (of St. Marys) has been running good."
Aside from Drazba, Ravenswood is led by sophomore Hailey Miller and Williamstown has been paced by junior Cami Mossor. Miller is ranked ninth in the state while Mossor currently checks in at No. 16. The top dozen individual runners today will earn all-LKC accolades for both the boys and girls.
"It should be a great battle between us, Williamstown and St. Marys," said Ravenswood head coach Bryan Canterbury, whose girls team hasn't won the LKC since 1993 when Tim Rector was the head man. Also, the Yellowjacket girls haven't claimed the title since 1995 when Ashley Lauderman won it and helped lead WHS to victory.
"If you just look at the runner rankings on paper Williamstown wins," Canterbury added.
"In sports, competition isn't won on paper. You have to go out there and earn it and take it from somebody."
Action is expected to begin at 4:30 p.m. with the boys race followed by the girls.

SANTA CLARA -- A makeshift street sign reads "Forty Niner Way" on the path from the locker room to the practice field. Tight end Vernon Davis and right guard Alex Boone did not make that walk Tuesday.
Davis and Boone, as expected, boycotted the start of the 49ers' mandatory minicamp while seeking new contracts.
"(It's) not the decision that I envisioned being the 49er way," said coach Jim Harbaugh, noting he did "not beat around the bush" to express his displeasure.
As Davis and Boone continued their offseason-long holdouts, surprisingly absent Tuesday was cornerback Eric Wright, who retired only three months after re-signing with the 49ers.
Davis and Boone have two seasons left on their respective contracts, and while their starting spots are seemingly secure, they risk getting fined up to $70,000 each for skipping this week's mandatory sessions.
That duo missed a lackluster, 21/2-hour practice that included several dropped passes, including two by Davis' understudy, second-year tight end Vance McDonald. Garrett Celek and rookie Asante Cleveland also saw increased action, especially once Derek Carrier left with an apparent hamstring strain.
Highlights were scarce from what offensive coordinator Greg Roman dubbed a "different offense" than last year's 24th-ranked unit (323.8 yards per game) and third-worst passing attack (186.2 ypg).
"After three years here, it was kind of a time-to-clean-out-the-garage type of thing," Roman said before practice. "We went through everything we've done and really stripped it back down to its most element, basic parts and start over at square one."
With Colin Kaepernick entering his second full season as the starting quarterback, the 49ers are banking on an improved passing attack with the addition of wideouts Stevie Johnson, Brandon Lloyd and rookie Bruce Ellington.
"We have different pieces, different components," Kaepernick said. "You're always trying to work on different things."
"It's fair to make the statement it's a different offense," Roman added.
Johnson, however, did not take part in team drills, having strained a hamstring earlier this month. Wideout Michael Crabtree and running back Frank Gore sat out team drills as a precaution, as did defensive tackle Justin Smith and cornerback Chris Culliver.
Without Boone, Joe Looney and Adam Snyder continued to take turns as the first-string right guard. Looney, a fourth-round draft pick in 2012, drew pre-practice praise from Roman, who recalled how Looney graded "extremely high" in last season's cameo against the St. Louis Rams.
Boone has started every game the past two seasons at right guard. "Alex is a person we value on the line; he's a mean guy, and that helps," said center Daniel Kilgore, who's poised to become a first-time starter if he can hold off rookie Marcus Martin.
Wright played sparingly the second half of last season, with his only interception coming at the end of a December home win against Seattle. He began his career with the Cleveland Browns (2007-2010) before moving on to the Detroit Lions (2011), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2012) and 49ers (2013).
Wright leaves behind a crowded and relatively raw cornerback unit. Tramaine Brock and Chris Cook typically have taken the first-string snaps. Culliver is also a candidate to start once he's fully cleared to return from last summer's knee injury. Other options on the depth chart are Perrish Cox, Darryl Morris and draft picks Jimmie Ward, Dontae Johnson and Kenneth Acker.

The Stockton California Highway Patrol office is warning motorists to beward of a man who is impersonating a CHP mechanic and taking money from them.
The suspect, driving an unmarked compact car, has been stopping on area freeways to assist disabled motorists. He is wearing a mechanic's uniform shirt with a badge affixed to it, the CHP said. And he tells the motorists that he is a CHP mechanic associated with the Freeway Services Patrol.
He tells motorists to give him money to go buy the parts they need, and he leaves, the CHP reported. He never returns.
The CHP has a Freeway Service Patrol that is operating in the construction areas of Interstate 5 and Highway 99, but it is operated by Mike's Towing Service, and the tow trucks are white and well marked. They never solicit money for the basic services.
The CHP has openen an investigation into the fraudulent mechanic and is seeking information from anyone who might have fallen victim to the scheme. Anyone with information should contact the Stockton CHP office at (209) 943-8666.

Shane's Rib Shack is closing after nearly three years in business. The restaurant's last day will be Sunday, according to operating partner Carol Johnson. She said the closure is the result of a weak economy, rising food prices and high rent costs at Lakeside Village. Customers with gift cards can use them at other Shane's locations or online at Shanesribshack.com.

Plastic Drainage Matting
Plastic matting can be sterilised using a weak solution of hypochlorite. Use for soft cheeses on a draining rack with open- ended moulds, or underneath hard cheese moulds while in the press. When making soft cheese we recommend covering the plastic mat with a milk filter paper before filling the mould with fresh curds to avoid sticking. Plastic matting may also be used to line maturing racks/shelves for hard cheeses.

Arc'teryx I340a Harness
A very lightweight harness that is useful for a broad range of activities. I've had a I 340a harness for two years now. It's been my go-to for a lot of different activities. I've used it for pretty much every alpine style climb I've been on. From days climbing ice at the crag around Canmore, to big multiday glacier ski mountaineering trips across the Wapta, mountaineering trips up neve gullies on Mt. Matier, to alpine rock on Bugaboo Spire this harness has seen it all. Its chief success is that… Full review
DMM Renegade 2
Not the lightest or the comfiest harness out there, but if you're looking for a good all rounder, this is possibly the best one on the market! DMM's Renegade 2 is an upgrade to the previous version in both aesthetics and functionality. They ditched the plastic gear loops for the better handling fabric ones, changed the color from a dismal grey to a fresh looking red trim and added a floating waist belt to allow a more adjustable fit, whatever your body shape. Harness don't really have a huge amount… Full review
Petzl Unisex Fractio
This is a tough harness and it will last a long time. I have used this harness for about 2-3 years now for cave exploration. Before that it was owned by one of my friends. Other harnesses I've used get destroyed in about a year due to the harsh cave environment. The harness sits fairly low, but offers more back support than the SuperAvanti. The other big difference is the metal attachment point for the D closure carabiner or maillion. This is a good feature for better wear. I would not buy… Full review
Petzl Men's Sama
Light and comfortable, what more could you ask for? Perfect for sport climbing at any level. No pesky double backing, breathable mesh and crazy lightweight! Full review
Petzl Corax
Has great comfort easily adjusted with two tightening points. One of my favourite features is the two buckles, which make it a little heavier than some harnesses but allows for a greater adjustability and easier to get on and off without having extremely long tails. The soft gear loops at the back make carrying a pack easier, which makes it great for canyoning which at this point in time has been my primary use of the harness. Full review
Mammut Men's Ophir Harness
Currently this is my favorite harness. This harness is very comfortable and it is very easy to put on and adjust. The gear loops are sturdy and easy to find and it includes a handy haul loop. This is my third harness and I have taken it from the gym to the red rocks of Moab and I love it. It does not have adjustable leg loops which are quite comfortable and make putting the harness on very quick and easy. The buckle does not need to be looped back through making the waist adjustment quicker and… Full review
Black Diamond Momentum SA
Fantastic, reasonably priced harness. I was able to spend the day climbing at an indoor gym today with four of my students (12 & 13year olds) and another instructor. Everyone used the Momentum SA harness. For first time climbers, the harness was straightforward. It was easy to put on and adjust. I have used several BD Bod harnesses for the past 15 years or so. My latest version should have been retired last year, so when presented with the opportunity to try the SA, I jumped at the chance. Full review
Black Diamond Momentum AL
First harness I ever bought and after all this time I still find myself going back to this harness. This harness works great! It's easy to take on and off and everything works just like it should. The four gear loops can store enough draws for a day of sport climbing or all your nuts, draws, and cams for trad. The Momentum AL harness gives all climbers the comfort and durability that Black Diamond is known for. The harness has a traditional waistbelt buckle and adjustable leg loops, which uses… Full review
Mammut Togir Light
Harness is lightweight and durable. It allows for great flexibility and ease of movement. Leg straps are elastic loaded providing perfect fit for legs and saving time. I have used this harness both indoors and outdoors (New England Sport climbing) for about two years. I regularly climb 5.12+ and this harness works great for difficult leg movement and harness does not bunch or feel uncomfortable while climbing. It is lightweight but feels durable as well. The leg straps are elastic loaded saving… Full review

'Mountain Mike' convicted in beating
Published: Thursday, October 31, 2013 at 11:49 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 31, 2013 at 11:49 p.m.
MANATEE COUNTY - Michael Nogosek — known as "Mountain Mike" — was convicted Thursday for the brutal beating of Gregory Brann.
The jury deliberated more than two hours before rendering a guilty verdict for the charge of aggravated battery causing great bodily harm.
Nogosek, 48, will be sentenced later, and could face up to 15 years in prison. The minimum sentence is just over five years.
Brann was attacked July 3, 2012, in a vacant lot frequented by homeless people near Ninth Street West and 30th Avenue West. Nogosek was arrested a month later.
Nogosek grabbed Brann by his arms and threw him to the ground, knocking him unconscious, his arrest report stated.
"I was out," Brann said in testimony Wednesday.
Beyond that, Brann remembers nothing of the incident.
But a surveillance camera at a nearby business captured it all as Brann was punched, kicked and dragged behind some bushes.
Brann was rushed to the trauma unit at Blake Medical Center, where he remained in an induced coma for 10 days. He was hospitalized for a month after the beating and spent time in a medical rehabilitation clinic.
"This was a brutal attack," Assistant State Attorney Courtney Hollen said. "The victim, Mr. Brann, has become even more vulnerable because of the injuries."
Nogosek has an extensive criminal history, which includes a murder in Washington state for which he was found not guilty by reason of insanity, Hollen said.
Nogosek's public defender, Anne Hunter, did not dispute the severity of Brann's injuries, but said her client was not responsible.
Though she presented no witnesses, Hunter sought to point out inconsistencies in the state's evidence during cross-examinations.
"This is not as cut and dry as the state wants you to believe," Hunter told jurors.

EAGLE COUNTY, Colorado - It's official: Eagle County is as blue as the mountains on a cold can of Coors Light.
In what seems fairly ancient history, Eagle County was pretty reliably Republican, with a few conservative Democrats elected for good measure. Over the years, though, Democrats have gained an ever-stronger grip on county politics. That trend continued Tuesday, with only one Republican - University of Colorado Board of Regents candidate Glenn Gallegos - carrying most of the county's votes.
The rest of the county voted Democratic, and with margins ranging from "solid" to "overwhelming."
Gypsum resident Carole Onderdonk has been involved with the county's Democratic leadership since she moved to the area several years ago. She said she believes local Dems' dominance is fairly easy to explain:
"It's because our candidates are more reasonable, they're not extreme, and they have a solid program."
But there's another factor at work: A lot of county voters are marking their ballots for anyone with a "D" next to their name.
Dale Nelson, who ran an independent campaign this fall for county commissioner, said he ran into a lot of "straight-ticket" voters while he was knocking on doors around the area this fall.
Longtime local Republican party official Randy Milhoan said he believes a lot of those straight-ticket voters are younger. Milhoan, who roamed around the valley as a poll-watcher Tuesday, said he first believed his party's candidates were in trouble when he noticed the number of young people voting in Vail.
"They wanted to vote for (President Barack) Obama and legalized marijuana," Milhoan said.
Add to that throng the fact that the western portion of Eagle County is nearly as Democratic-leaning as Aspen - where Obama carried Pitkin County with about 70 percent of the vote - and Milhoan believes local Republican candidates are in trouble for the foreseeable future.
"Every low-lying valley in the mountain west has become more Democratic because of people moving in from other places," Milhoan said. "I thought we had good candidates this year," added. "I thought we'd do really well."
That didn't happen.
Beyond her own political preference, Onderdonk was at something of a loss to explain Democrats' recent success in the county.
"We certainly encourage people to vote a straight ticket, but I never ask about it, and we certainly don't advertise that way."

text: Just arrived. We'll be taking pictures and should have them up on the sites soon. Here's the cocking handle on Lapco's site. Lapco has long made a stainless steel version of this cocking handle too. Now these knobs are basically for looks but they do have a nice shape to them so you never have to worry about tearing up your fingers when cocking your Tippmann 98. This is the original Tippman 98 cocking handle. It's normally covered by a little rubber cap but those can fall off and you're left with this serrated handle. These handles, both the stainless steel and the aluminum version, will fit on ALL of the Tippmann 98 series gun from the original Model 98 up to the 98 Custom Pro Platinum gun. They'll also fit on the new US Army Project Salvos and and US Army Alpha Blacks.

Please continue your 2013 Bengals discussion here.

Please continue your 2013 Bengals discussion here.
As is our routine, I (Brown fan) sat down at my brother's (Bengal fan) to watch the game. I picked the Bengals to win this game too. The Browns weren't gong to get away with the trick plays like they did last week vs the Vikings. And when they kicked that on-side after going up 7-0 I let out a huge sigh.
The Brown's D is legit. It was the only positive I really saw going into this season. I was very skeptical of the offense with Weeden in control.
Haden totally dominated AJ. My brother was screaming "Is he the only receiver Dalton can throw to?" LOL
But the Brown's defense was swarming. And they had Dalton rattled all day. I have no idea where he was throwing some of those balls. He had a lot of pressure coming, and I was really impressed with rookie Mingo too.
On offense... getting Josh Gordon back was huge, but TE Cameron has been simply phenomenal.
But having said all this, and as we watched the game, with all it's miscues, stupid penalties, and missed opportunities by both teams, I looked at my brother at one point, watching this so-called Battle of Ohio, and said "Typical Clowns vs Bungles game wouldn't you say?" "Yep" he replied, and then added "Marvin Lewis is the worst coach in the NFL! He ain't never going to take us to that next level!" LOL
I'll ask this again: Has an NFL head coach ever been with the same franchise as long as ML has been with the Bengals, without winning a playoff game?
I love the Monday overreactions. Just 4 weeks ago after one football game Jaworski declared that Chip Kelly's offense was going to revolutionize the NFL.
Couple of things to take into consideration. It is hard to win NFL games on the road, period. Secondly, the Browns have a legit defense with a CB who has gone toe to toe with AJ Green back to college.
That was probably Andy's worst game since his rookie year. He was missing his target high and never seemed to get into a groove. BJGE should be on the field only to spell Bernard. Guy looks to be a step slower this season and running against a stout DLine is a recipe for disaster. The Bengals really screwed the game up in the 1st half when they settled for a chip shot FG and then was stuffed on 4th and short. They should have walked way with at least 10 points instead of 3.
Bryan Hoyer made enough plays against a banged up secondary to win a football game. The Bengals DLine made things too easy on Hoyer until the second half. The final TD the Browns scored was a killer but the offense did little to help. When AJ is shut down guys like Sanu, Gresham, and Jones MUST step up. They didn't yesterday.
Its not a bad loss, its not going to define their season. Its a game they should have won but didn't. Now the task gets tougher facing a Patriots team that is finding ways to get things done. Hopefully Nelson and Hall are healed up and ready to play.
Can't really pin yesterday's loss on anyone in particular.
It feels like if AJ doesn't get involved in the game early then he will have a very quiet day. On the few replays they were showing, he wasn't beating Haden. Or any of the receivers for that matter, they were all covered well. On the few occasions that we could hit a play protection broke down or Dalton missed the throw.
The offensive line couldn't get any push all game long. On that 4th down conversion we failed Green Ellis didn't even have a chance. That Mingo guy outplayed our line all by himself. Then the bad snap that killed a drive that was actually moving.
Defense didn't play terrible, but our defensive line needs to be amazing with the talent we have there. They've shown glimpses but they haven't been consistent so far this year. If they're gonna have 3 step drops and throw short passes how about getting your hands up and batting some passes down? And the Browns running game is terrible or we woulda been torched on the ground. Their offensive line was pushing us 3-4 yards off of the line all game long. I can't blame the secondary as much since we were missing some of our best players there.
I didn't think Marvin had them ready to play, and I didn't think Gruden called a particularly good game. He didn't adapt whatsoever, and he was predictable enough that the Browns basically knew what was coming in the 2nd half.
The Browns defense is really really good, but we made it easy for them yesterday.
I'm too big a Bengals diehard to wish the Browns luck :) but I will say they're getting better. They could have quit after the Richardson trade, but instead they took it up a notch. That says a lot about their character and about the coaching staff as well. And that is one tough defense they're putting together.
If you're keeping score at home, the Steelers are now 2-9 in their last 11 games. :D
Hard to see the Bengals being competitive this week. Looks like they'll be missing Hall, Nelson, and now Michael Johnson with a concussion.
They went into the season thin at secondary, so pretty much worst case scenario with what's happening with Leon Hall and Reggie Nelson.
Is anyone else really bummed by the fact that the Bills have scored 24 points (as of this posting) on that great Browns defense?

Fire sparked by hot muffler burns land near school
Published: Tuesday, December 4, 2012 at 10:31 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 4, 2012 at 10:31 p.m.
Mountain Home Fire and Rescue responded to a brush fire at Apple Valley Middle School Tuesday afternoon as school was letting out for the day.
The fire, which was called in at 2:52 p.m., burned about three-quarters of an acre.
The fire was caused by a hot muffler on a truck that was too close to a bank, Chief Jimmy Womack said. The passenger side of the truck bed caught on fire, but was put out by the owner, he added.
The damage on the truck is reparable. No other structures were affected.
Dana Fire and Rescue Department and the N.C. Forest Service responded.

Police said the ferry went down on the River Meghna in Munshiganj district, 32 kilometers (20 miles) south of the capital, Dhaka. By Friday evening, rescuers had recovered the bodies of a child and a woman.
There was confusion over the number of passengers on board the ferry at the time of the accident. Relatives and neighbors at the scene said some people were missing, but authorities would not provide an official list of those who were unaccounted for.
Khokon Mollik said he had yet to locate neighbors who were on the ferry, including 17 members of a family who were traveling to a funeral.
"We have found none of them yet," Mollik said.
A 12-year-old passenger, Omar Faruk, said he couldn't find his mother.
Shamsuddoha Khandaker, chairman of the Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority (BIWTA), said they were trying to locate the sunken ferry, the ML Sarash.
The private television station Channel-I said local villagers rescued more than 40 people after the accident, and that several other people swam to shore.
The station put the number of passengers at more than 100, though a local police official said it was about 80.
Ferry accidents are common in Bangladesh, a delta nation of 153 million people, and it is frequently unclear how many people are aboard the often overcrowded vessels.
The ML Sarash was on a local run from Narayanganj city to Matlab in the south when it went down.

Valentine's Day is generally thought of as a couples-only holiday, but many forget that it's popular among children, too.
How do you show your kids you love them on Valentine's Day -- or on any day? The American Academy of Pediatrics offers these tips:
- Use plenty of positive words with your child. Nurture her self-esteem and self-confidence by praising a job well done, and show interest in what she is saying.
- Respond promptly and lovingly to your child's physical and emotional needs and banish put-downs from your parenting vocabulary.
- Make an extra effort to set a good example at home and in public. Use words like "I'm sorry," "please," and "thank you."
- When your child is angry, argumentative or in a bad mood, give him a hug, cuddle, pat, secret sign or other gesture of affection he favors.
- Use nonviolent forms of discipline. Parents should begin instituting both rewards and restrictions many years before adolescence to prevent trouble during the teenage years. Once youngsters reach adolescence, allowing them to break important rules constantly without being disciplined only encourages more rule violations.
- Make plans to spend half a day alone with your teen doing something he enjoys.
- Mark family game nights on your calendar so the entire family can be together. Put a different family member's name under each date, and have that person choose which game will be played that evening.
- Owning a pet can make children with chronic illnesses and disabilities feel better by stimulating physical activity, enhancing their overall attitude, and offering constant companionship.
- One of the best ways to familiarize your child with good food choices is to encourage her to cook with you. Let her get involved in the entire process, from planning the menus to shopping for ingredients to the actual food preparation and its serving.
- Don't forget to say, "I love you" to children of all ages!

The Aiken County Sheriff's Office is increasing the number of law enforcement officers at Steeplechase this year. (WRDW-TV / March 22, 2012)
Don't forget about the open container laws.
You are allowed to drink alcohol inside the event gates, but be careful walking to and from the parking lots -- deputies will write you a ticket if you have an open drink.
For more information about Steeplechase, visit the website here.
News 12 First at Five / Thursday, March 22, 2012
AIKEN, S.C. -- There are some changes coming to the Aiken Steeplechase when it comes to keeping you safe at the races.
The Aiken County Sheriff's Office plans to triple the number of deputies they will have inside the gates this year. They will have patrols in uniform and undercover, looking to prevent drunk drivers and underage drinking.
Many enjoy celebrating at the races.
"It's just a fun day of going out, spending it outside in this gorgeous weather that we've had and enjoying a little bit of horses," said Brittni Everhardt, who's excited about a day at the races.
But for many, it's also a day to party.
"If you do plan on coming and having an alcoholic beverage while you're there, you need to plan on having a driver to get you home," said Aiken County Sheriff's Cpt. Troy Elwell.
And the Aiken County Sheriff's Office means business. For the first time in years they are increasing patrols for the 35,000 people.
"It grows every year and we've just failed to keep up with that growth as far as law enforcement on the scene," Elwell said. "We were just understaffing the event."
This year, they're tripling the manpower for the day.
"We were staffing that with a maximum of 10 officers; the ratio is just not correct, for the patrons or for our officers. This year we're going to up it. It's going to a minimum of 30 officers on the scene, which will help us better enforce underage drinking," Elwell said.
It's a problem they'd like to rein in before it gets out of control.
"A lot of times whenever there is drinking involved, especially the younger folks, tend to make a little more irrational decisions," Everhardt said.
Elwell said you may see more arrests this year just because there will be more officers around. You may also see more DUIs as officers crack the whip for the safety of the people here and on the roads.
"We're trying to make sure everyone acts responsible, that they don't violate the law," he added.
"It's not just being there, at the event, it's also whenever you leave, knowing that the police officers are there and that hopefully the streets will be a lot safer, too," Everhardt said.
Aiken Public Safety and the South Carolina Highway Patrol will also be working the event. Also, don't forget about the open container laws. You are allowed to drink alcohol inside the event gates, but be careful walking to and from the parking lots -- deputies will write you a ticket if you have an open drink.

Phish staples "Bouncing Around the Room" and "Farmhouse" rounded out Trey's debuts for the evening. Trey's keyboard solo included an "Axel F" tease. Before "Brian and Robert" Trey then offered a rambling monologue where he mistook a single confused person on the Internet with "the confused people on the Internet" and further mistakenly asserted that fans online would be "confused by the unknown songs." He then introduced "Brian and Robert" as "Voodoo Child."
Musicians: Trey Anastasio, Russ Lawton, Tony Markellis

Now, I know we can't be out there policing the park at all hours, but I got a note from the conservation board supervisor about some issues has seen on the course. He's not "mad" at this point, but more preventative concern for the near future.
Keep in mind - he DOES know it's not club members nor even disc golfers creating these issues (at least ALL of the issues). He also knows we can't police the park all the time either. But I did ask him to send me issues that arise, so we can at least help out if we see some of these thigns happenign out there. So I'm just passing these things along on behalf of the parks people. I think the park rangers are writing people up when they see them. I mentioned to the parks folks that they'll probably see some golden retrievers out on the banks which will stop a lot (not all) people from going int he water after their discs.
If you DO see people doing these things, please (politely) ask them to stop. I don't want to see this course pulled before it even gets completed. Just remind them that the park has it's rules and the rules REALLY aren't that restrictive. Please abide by them.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Not sure if you can impact it or not --- but there are people stapling fliers for the Dewitt Summerfest Disc Golf tournament in our park on signs that they should not be stapled to. They should not be doing this at all. We have specific rules on this type stuff. They can put it in the campground office for those people that want to pick it up – that's it. You may or may not know who is promoting the tournament.
Some other issues associated with the course:
- Trash. Players (we assume) are leaving it around the course
- Oak tree beat down, stripped, whatever you want to call it --- abused cause it was in their way (we assume disc golfers again)
- Golfers swimming for their discs. You knock a golf ball in the pond or water hazard --- you don't get to swim for it. Same rules here. Isn't safe. We'll need some good signage on this for the next phase of the course. Hopefully you'll know how other courses word similar signs.
Please try to help on this in whatever way you can.

From out of the depths, attorney Luis Ramos emerged into the spotlight.
He has seen graphic child pornography, heard sordid tales of molestations and felt the rage of rape victims -- awful parts of his extraordinary dedication to winning convictions of sex offenders.
On Monday prosecutor Ramos was celebrated for his 2012 service to Santa Clara County in an annual awards ceremony hosted by District Attorney Jeff Rosen.
"If you have a case, you have an opportunity -- an opportunity to make a difference in a victim's life and in our community," he told colleagues in a packed auditorium inside the Count of Santa Clara Government Center in downtown San Jose.
"Let's continue to do justice," he said, to thunderous applause.
The awards are presented annually to outstanding employees of the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office. Of the 500-member staff, seven lawyers, criminalists, paralegals and support staff were commended for their special effort.
"Every day when I come to 70 West Hedding Street, and I see you going to court or standing in the hallway, I think how lucky I am to be your DA in this county," said Rosen.
Last year was exceptionally busy in county courtrooms, Rosen said, with 15 percent more felony trials and 30 percent more misdemeanor trials.
"And conviction rates were very high," he concluded.
Other winners were:

Competitive FCHS Golf Program Tees Off
by Heather Clark, Courier Staff
The Fort Campbell Courier
Fort Campbell KY | August 2, 2012
Green – it's the color of golf; so as a green team, the Fort Campbell High School Falcons feel right at home on the golf course. It's a program that has tried its best to take flight in years past. Now, with a passionate coach at the helm and a volunteer coach ready to pass along a love of the game, FCHS will experience competitive golfing this coming season.
"It's taken a few years to get it up and running," said Velma Camp, new head coach for the Falcons golf team. "Golf is one of those sports I guess kids weren't really interested in at this age. Most people don't get into it until they're in their late teens or early 20s."
It would seem that interest is beginning to pick up among high school students. The team even has two returning players: brothers Jerry (senior) and Gino (sophomore) Haywood. The renewed interest is a delight to Camp, who's enjoyed the game for 15 years.
"Our team is building now," she said. "Last year we had five players; this year we have 11, and we even have a female player now."
"I've literally been playing since last week," laughed 15-year-old Katie Dillard, who will enter FCHS as a junior this fall.
Dillard, who will be playing on the team with her brother, Thomas, recently got into the sport at the encouragement of her mother.
"She was talking about how there are so many great opportunities in golf, scholarship-wise," she said. "Also, it's just a really great sport for when you're older; it's a lifetime sport you can keep up."
"It's definitely a game for a lifetime," agreed Lesley Freeman Jr., volunteer assistant coach.
Freeman, who has spent many years working with junior golfers in the surrounding communities, was ready to offer his services and experience as soon as FCHS was ready to form a team.
"I really enjoy working with the youth, I really do," said Freeman. "What we're trying to do right now is give the kids the basic fundamentals. To see them actually doing what they're supposed to do and getting the ball close to the hole is very rewarding for me."
The coaches and players know what to expect from the upcoming season. They're aware that they'll go up against schools with players that have more experience, and more seasons under their belts. Most know that they have to learn a sport from the ground up. None of these facts have deterred the players from teeing up and grabbing clubs.
"We're not going to set any major goals now, because we don't want to get ahead of ourselves," said Freeman. "If you get the kids to come out here and have fun with the game, they'll stick with it."
Fun is the ultimate goal.
"It's a sport where you can go out on a bad day, either go to the driving range and hit balls or go to the course and play nine or 18," said Camp. "By the time you're done, the stress is pretty much gone."
Though it's all about good times, the team is ready to dive right in to the competition. Their first feat will be the Dawson Springs Tournament at Pennyrile State Resort Park, Aug. 11.
"Wow, that's soon," remarked freshman Spencer Koschmeder upon learning of the first tournament date. "I don't really care about winning, I just want to have fun. I'd gone to the Golf House Tennessee classes so I could get good enough to play with my dad and some of the guys he works with; so, why not do this?"
"It's an 18-hole tournament, so we're really starting out with a bang," said Camp. "We're going to try to come out strong."

DCCA Studio artists Renee Benson and Lisa David will showcase new work in the Elizabeth Denison Hatch Gallery for the month of February 2013.
Renee Benson Statement
My acrylic paintings are inspired by organic shapes, microscopic forms and natural rhythms. My painting process varies between spontaneous, impulsive gesture and deliberate, methodical mark-making.
Lisa David Statement
I perceive extraordinary beauty in the everyday and mystery where others observe the mundane. I paint what is familiar and try to draw out this intrigue. My representations are recognizable but their selection, emphasis and abstraction are where I hope to engage the viewer's own thoughts and interpretations.

Dan Connor visiting the Steelers
Posted by Mike Florio on March 12, 2013, 11:01 AM EDT
APOn Monday, the Cowboys dumped veteran linebacker Dan Connor.
On Tuesday, Connor has plans to head back to his home state. (OK, Commonwealth.)
Connor will visit the Steelers, according to Calvin Watkins of ESPNDallas.com.
The 3-4 inside linebacker fits the Steelers typical free-agency profile. That is, guys who can be gotten cheaply.
And Connor could end up being a contributor, especially if Lawrence Timmons slides outside to fill the void created by the departure of James Harrison.
Actually, that could be the best plan for Pittsburgh. With Timmons already under contract for the long haul and with pass rushers more pricey than inside linebackers, the Steelers would be wise to at least consider using Timmons on the outside and acquiring more help for the inside.

SAN JOSE -- Marty Havlat's recovery from off-season groin surgery has progressed to the point where he has been skating at Sharks Ice.
But that doesn't mean Havlat is good to go for training camp, according to Sharks coach Todd McLellan, who said Monday that he didn't expect Havlat to be strong enough for the rigors of training camp as he recovers from his medical procedure.
Havlat, who was sidelined for more than 90 percent of the post-season by an injury in Game 1 of the first round match-up with Vancouver, said only that he was "feeling good" and hedged on whether he'd be ready for camp and what follows. The Sharks open camp for the upcoming 2013-14 season on Thursday.
In May, the Sharks said only that Havlat would be out indefinitely after the surgical procedure that took place in Philadelphia -- a vagueness that led to speculation that Havlat might be on long-term injured reserve when the season begins.
Havlat's response when asked if he was holding back on the ice at this point.
"Camp hasn't even started," he said. "I'm getting in shape too. I'm getting ready for the season like everybody else."

Support our conservation efforts today and help us protect wildlife and wild places in the Pacific Northwest and around the globe.
Thank you for supporting gorillas
A project of Wildlife Survival Fund: Investing in endangered species before it's too late.
Established in 1995, the Mbeli Bai Study has monitored large mammals visiting a naturally occurring 13-hectare large, swampy forest clearing in the southwest of Nouabale-Ndoki National Park, Republic of Congo, with minimum levels of disturbance. The Mbeli Bai study has provided unique insights into the social organization and behavior of the elusive western gorilla. The continuous monitoring of individuals (over 400 gorillas) provides essential baseline life history data of this critically endangered flagship species.
The Mbeli Bai Study was established with the goal of providing much needed information on the population dynamics and demography of western gorillas. Long-term studies are essential because gorillas are long-lived mammals. The data collected enables scientists to assess the vulnerability of populations to threats and predict their ability to recover from decline, and therefore formulate effective conservation strategies. But the program has multiple roles besides the research and conservation of western lowland gorillas. The project is also responsible for local capacity building, conservation education and habitat and wildlife protection.
Video: Juvenile female Baluba helping infant Duma climb a tree in the Mbeli Bai study area, Nouabale-Ndoki National Park in the northern part of the Republic of Congo.
Western lowland gorilla populations have in recent years undergone a dramatic decline and the species is currently classified as critically endangered. Commercial hunting for bushmeat, loss of habitat through increased logging activities, and diseases such as Ebola hemorrhagic fever have all had an impact on the population, persisting throughout the region.
The Mbeli Bai Study began Club Ebobo, a conservation education program in the schools surrounding the Nouabale-Ndoki National Park in 1998. Activities have expanded and Club Ebobo is now conducted in four villages. Club Ebobo sessions are held in French, Lingala, and recently in a pygmy language, on a monthly basis. Classes are separated with the younger children doing more basic games and work, whereas older children engage in more conservation-oriented lessons. Local teachers are also included in the conservation education through a training workshop where they learn to use an environmental education activity book that includes 11 lessons designed to encourage creativity among students.
"Bai" refers to swampy forest clearings that dot the landscape through Africa's rainforests. Mbeli Bai is a clearing in the Nouabale-Ndoki National Park in the Republic of Congo. Detailed studies are underway there on western lowland gorillas, endangered forest elephants, sitatungas and forest buffaloes. Besides continuous bai monitoring, the Mbeli Bai Study aims to understand the importance of forest clearings and determine the ecological factors (e.g., density of fruiting trees, aquatic and terrestrial herbaceous vegetation) influencing gorilla and large mammal density and protection.
All major life history (births, deaths, weaning, documenting of life stages) and transfer events are noted and entered into a gorilla demographic database. This allows for easy access to reports on group parameters and life history characteristics (such as reproductive success and group dispersals) to be generated. Long-term data on the large Mbeli gorilla population is now available to be analyzed to investigate the resilience to threats such as habitat disturbance and disease as well as phenological patterns.
In 1979, Woodland Park Zoo was the first zoo to create and build a naturalistic outdoor exhibit for gorillas, a model other zoos around the world now emulate. The zoo has long been a participant in the Western Lowland Gorilla Species Survival Plan, successfully raising nine gorillas to adulthood since the late 1970s. WPZ gorilla keeper Hugh Bailey traveled to Mbeli Bai in 2005 to spend a month assisting researchers and observing Club Ebobo's educational programs. Today, three separate western lowland gorilla troops inhabit the exhibit at the zoo.

MEPs greenlight EU patent
14.12.2012 - After decades of deadlock, Europe is finally set to get a new unified patent. This week the Competitiveness Council and MEPs adopted the draft law.
Provided the draft law will be signed by at least 13 EU member states, EU patents must be only translated into three languages cutting the cost drastically. Today, two thirds of the patent cost of €36,000 is translation cost. The new unitary patent is calculated to cost a maximum of only €6,425, with the costs of translation set to range from €680 to €2,380. However, this is still twice as expensive as an US patent. "Today's vote is good news for the EU economy and especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)," said MEP Bernhard Rapkay.
Italian MEP Raffaele Baldassarre, who had been leading negotiations on the new translation regime, described the current cost burden as "effectively a tax on innovation. We have to understand that there is a need out there to facilitate innovation in the EU."
Under the new scheme, patent applications will have to be made in either English, French or German – and will be made available in the same three languages. MEPs also voted to fully reimburse translation costs for EU-based SMEs, non-profit organisations, universities and public research organisations - something expected to benefit small high-tech firms in particular.Renewal fees, which are responsible for much of the overall cost of the current European system, will also be set at a level to help SMEs.
"Spain and Italy have so far opted out of the unitary patent package, but could join in the decision-making process at any time," the Parliament says. "This procedure was used to break a deadlock, mainly due to language issues, that lasted over thirty yearsThe agreement is expected to be signed in February next year, and it will come into force on 1 January 2014 or when at least 13 member states including the UK, France and Germany have ratified it. Patents on plants have been excluded from the law, previously. The legislation still has to be formally adopted by the Council, but this will take place shortly.

In a literary sense, 2013 was very good to Monta Vista freshman Alicia Marzolf. The 14-year-old student published two fiction books to put an exclamation point on a pre-high school life devoted to working with words.
"I have always really liked writing. It is something I can do that I enjoy and have control over," she says.
The past year saw the completion of Abby's Secret and Saving Home, two radically different stories dreamed up by Alicia.
Abby's Secret tells the story of a teen romance in which the main character Abby Sakamoto kisses her best friend's boyfriend, and her regular high school life is turned upside down as she keeps the secret.
Saving Home is about a home-schooled teen whose parents divorce forces a move from a rural ranch into the city and public school for the first time. As the teen's world vastly changes, she works to repair her parents' marriage and save her original home.
Both books came by working on what she knows best: the life of a teen and working with farm animals, as she and her family work closely with Rolling Hills 4-H Club, based at Cupertino's McCllelan Ranch.
"Write about what you care about and what your passion is," Alicia says.
Reading and writing have been a big part of Alicia's life since her early elementary school days, when she kept a journal of her thoughts.
"She started out a reader and was always a reader. She was one of those kids that always was with a book," Gail Marzolf said of her daughter. "Books were always a part of her childhood, and that transferred over into writing."
Her writing got a boost when she attended workshops at San Jose State University. The family also credits her education at the alternative Christa McAuliffe School in the Cupertino Union School District, where she received many lessons on shaping a writer's voice. Alicia also credits the immense encouragement she received from Scott Henderson, her seventh-grade language arts teacher at Lawson Middle School.
Finding a chunk of time to write is always a challenge for a full-time student. Sometimes inspiration and writing has to come in short, sporadic bursts. Alicia keeps her prose prowess strong every day by writing poetry or summarizing her day and recent trips or outings.
"You have to make time for writing. It's a skill that gets better with practice," she says.
Abby's Secret took more than a year to write and about six months to edit and fine tune. It was published in July 2013.
Saving Home had a similar time frame and was published in October. Both books are published through print-on-demand service PublishAmerica and are available through Amazon.
Alicia also writes for Teen Ink, a national teen magazine, book series and website devoted entirely to teenage writing, art, photos and forums. She submits poetry, editorials and articles. She has been recognized with multiple awards for her writing.
She hopes to write for Monta Vista's El Estoque news publication later in her high school career.

Frisco's Alpine Dance Academy will present its Spring Recital on Saturday at Warren Station in Keystone. Performance begins at 6pm and admission is $10 for adults and $5 for students.
The performance will feature all 68 Alpine Dance Academy students representing all eight Summit County schools.
"There is one more show to go before Summit is all danced out!" said Kelly Monahon, director of Alpine Dance Academy.
"We do performances twice a year -- one in the winter and one in the spring," Monahon said. "This particular show, with the help of Warren Station, is a fundraiser for The Summit Dance Fund, a local non-profit we partner with which provides scholarships for local dancers to continue their dance education outside Summit in N.Y., L.A., etc."
Saturday's program features three productions: "Swooners, Crooners and Heartthrobs," "Phantom of The Opera," and "City Scapes."
"Swooners, Crooners and Heartthrobs" is a section devoted to the men in music who made the ladies scream (or faint). Dancers will perform to such greats as Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Tony Bennett, The Beatles and The Monkees. Performers were also apt to include the new age heartthrobs and there will be a Justin Bieber song included.
In "Phantom of The Opera," a full scale ballet will be performed to selections from this famous Broadway show, featuring Katarina Jackman as Christine Daae and Jenna Rodger as the Phantom.
In "City Scapes," dancers explore the U.S. through music. Level 3 tap will perform "Sweet Home Chicago," while Level 4 Jazz will channel their inner rock star with "Cleveland Rocks." The section includes songs about 10 different cities in the US, and the entire school will finish the show with a 10 minute medley dedicated to New York City.
According to Monahon, the Alpine Dance Academy opened in 2009 and this is the school's third year of biannual recitals.
