Boys volleyball outlook by Mary Jo Monnin: Buzzwords for the season: Parity, great competition
In the first three weeks of voting in the Western New York Coaches Boys Volleyball Poll, there have been three different teams ranked No. 1. Of the six tournaments that have been reported to The News, there have been six different champions.
St. Mary�s has been a surprise. The Lancers recorded the upset of the year when it knocked off then-No. 1 ranked St. Joe�s on its own floor two weeks ago. Tyler English, first team All-Catholic a year ago, has been named all-tournament in all three competitions St. Mary�s has played in: Maryvale, North Tonawanda and Sweet Home.
Eden has no seniors but that doesn�t mean the expectations aren�t high. The Raiders went 12-0 last year, winning ECIC III. Hadyn Herc is a 6-4 junior who leads the team in blocks. Sophomore Declan Pierce is one of the most explosive players in WNY. He can control a game with superb passing and wicked jump serve. Cole Overhoff has an excellent serve and quick reflexes.
Stefani retires as OP coach
For the first time in 31 years, Walt Stefani is not on the sidelines for the Orchard Park volleyball team.

Theodore Alexander expands contract, hospitality furniture business
May 1, 2013-- Furniture Today,
HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam — High end case goods and upholstery manufacturer Theodore Alexander says it is expanding its contract and hospitality business.
The company recently hired United Kingdom-based McLaren Furniture & Interiors to help market its products and custom programs in the U.K. and elsewhere in Europe, including Russia, and the Middle East. The company works with hotel groups including Kempinski, Fairmont, Four Season and St. Regis. It also works with some royal households, palaces, private residences, casinos, bars, restaurants, cruise ships and embassies.
Theodore Alexander also has hired Miami-based Bluecoast Hospitality to represent it in North and Central America and the Caribbean. Bluecoast works with design firms, purchasing companies and hotels including the Ritz-Carlton, Fairmont Hotels, Mandarin Oriental, Conrad Hilton, Waldorf Astoria and Wynn Resorts.
"The global reputation and relationships afforded by both McLaren and Bluecoast Hospitality gives us a strong strategic alliance in the important hospitality industries," Harvey Dondero, Theodore Alexander CEO, said in a statement. "Clients can expect premium quality products produced on time and class-leading service from the venture between these two stellar marketing organizations and Theodore Alexander."
Theodore Alexander said it will dedicate a separate manufacturing facility here to handle the product lines. It also plans to continue using its Contract Business Group to represent its in-line products to the hospitality and contract furniture markets in the U.S.

SHU has become a Nike Basketball Camp summer staple over the years, offering three consecutive sessions to take your overall game and shooting technique to the next level. Head Men's Coach Anthony Latina provides individualized, collegiate instruction in the Fairfield, CT campus' Pitt Center.
The Complete Skills Camp is intended to help players of all abilities develop athletically, refine fundamental basketball skills and enhance their skill set at the post, wing, or guard position. Emphasis is placed on fundamental development, shooting, offensive moves, defense, rebounding, team play, and more.
The Shooting Camp program gives campers the opportunity to focus on improving their shooting skills. Emphasis is placed on: technique, footwork, shooting drills, shooting off the dribble, shooting off the pass, shooting games, free throw shooting, and post/perimeter shooting.
Latina took over the reins of the program after spending eight seasons as an assistant coach under Coach Bike. He joined Bike's staff in 2005-06 after spending the previous six seasons as an assistant coach at Central Connecticut State University.
During his time at CCSU, he helped guide the Blue Devils to two NCAA Tournament appearances, and three trips to the Northeast Conference title game. His duties at Central included recruiting and scouting opponents, as well as individual player development. He was part of the staff that helped produce the first-ever NBA draft pick from CCSU, Corsley Edwards, who was taken in the second round by the Sacramento Kings in 2002.
Prior to joining Central Connecticut's staff, Latina worked for four years as an assistant coach at Division II UMass-Lowell.
Latina was a four-year starter and two-year captain as a point guard at Brandeis University. He was part of the 1991-92 squad that won the ECAC Championship. An honor's student in the classroom, Latina also received the Athletic Director's Award and Stein Attitude and Dedication to Basketball Award at Brandeis. He earned his undergraduate degree in history and American Studies from Brandeis and his Master's in Education from UMass-Lowell.
The Connecticut native was a captain of the 1990-91 Connecticut State Championship team at South Catholic High School under legendary coach Joe Reilly.
Latina and his wife Jodi and children Luke and Zoe reside in Wethersfield, CT.

We cannot offer scholarships due to NCAA regulations.

This puts our coaches and our host universities in jeopardy of damaging their status with the NCAA and incurring penalties at the hands of their organizing body.

Daily basketball instruction will take place at SHU's impressive William H. Pitt Health and Recreation Center. The $17.5 million Pitt Center, which opened in August 1997, serves as the home court for both men's and women's basketball and volleyball programs, as well as our fencing and wrestling programs. The three-level, 141,000 square-foot complex features a four-court layout and seats over 2,000 people for basketball.
The lower level of the Pitt Center received a major facelift in the summer of 2007. The 5,000-plus square-foot weight room now reflects a top level Division I weight room with the addition of state of the art weight training equipment, new Mondo rubberized flooring, lighting and a paint job that truly reflects the spirit of Pioneer Athletics. Other changes made were office renovations for men's & women's basketball and football, added locker room space and a total refurbishing of the aerobics room wood floor. The lower level also houses locker rooms for our athletic teams and members, the Pioneer Wrestling Room, Equipment Room and Athletic Training offices. The main level of the center houses the Athletic Communications suite and a four-court field house with indoor track and retractable batting cage. A floating wood floor is used for basketball and volleyball competitions. 4,500 square feet of clinical space is dedicated to the Sacred Heart University Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation Center. Contained in this space are examination rooms, faculty offices, and therapy labs, as well as a physical therapy clinic.
Session I and III Complete Skills Campers will be utilizing SHU's Pitt Center as well as the Notre Dame Catholic High School gym, conveniently located next to SHU. Campers will spend the majority of instruction in the Pitt Center and will use the high school gym when needed for day games (3 hrs. per day maximum).
My son had a wonderful time from start to finish. He stayed for the additional week, and had a great time with his coach and players. The coach really created a great environment for them to play hard and learn.
My son was in awe of the players who were the camp counselors. They were great with the boys. He loved the nickname "Iggy" that his coach, Cane, gave him. He came away from camp feeling confident and really good about his playing, but he also came away knowing what he needs to work on. I love that he has a goal. We also loved getting a written evaluation. This camp is money well spent, and we will definitely make room in the budget for it next year! Thank you so much to everyone, but especially to Cane. He was encouraging and taught my son so much about the game. Impressive!
Sacred Heart Nike basketball camp was an outstanding experience - the directors and staff were excellent: they were truly committed to every child's success, and created a great learning experience. Thank you!
My son has such a great time at this camp. The coaches were so enthusiastic without being overly intent on winning. The mood overall was fun even though he learned a lot!
I recommend this camp to boys and girls who show strong interest in basketball. It was definetly intense for my 9 year old son. It was a wonderful experience the coach and camp counselors were nice and enthusiastic with the kids. It was a wonderful experience and my son would defintely be attending this camp for years to come.
I would absolutely recommend this camp to parents. My son will definitely be back next year! My son truly had a great time & he learned that the coaches were actual players was definitely a plus for me! Great camp!
Having the college players as instructors was a huge bonus and my son loved the cafeteria.
My son came out of camp a much more confident player. I loved watching my son for the last few minutes everyday. He was so much more confident and aggressive with the ball. His handling skills also improved.
This camp was SO WELL ORGANIZED and had a lot less attendees than other camps. My son received personalized instruction and a written review of his skills. Drop-off and pick-up were a snap. There was absolutely no confusion. The Sacred Heart University facilities were super-clean and well maintained. My son wishes to return next year. He also felt that he had learned something! This was not the case at other camps!! Kudos to Coach Anthony Latina for running a well organized, worthwhile basketball camp!
This was the last summer that I was eligible to attend a Nike camp and I chose to come back to the Sacred Heart Basketball camp because I had learned so much from them the previous 2 times that I had been there. I have been offered a full scholarship to continue my basketball career in college and I believe that the Sacred Heart staff helped me to develop into the post player that I am today and helped me to reach a level to be able to play in college.
Staff was very enthusiastic without being high pressure. The range of activities kept my son interested and excited to go every day. He thought having lunch in the cafeteria was SO cool. He also really respected his coach and called him "cool". Way to go!!
Food and facility are phenomenal. Overall, wonderful experience and the boys want to return! See you next year:)))
2017 Dates and Prices Coming Soon! Join our email list to be notified when the program is available.

Canaan ribbon cutting set
DAVIS – The construction of a new lodge at Canaan Valley Resort State Park is complete and Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin has invited the public to join him and other officials in a ribbon cutting ceremony scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Tuesday.
"Visitors are now able to enjoy modern and comfortable facilities in the new 160-room lodge," said Frank Jezioro, director of the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources. "The nearly four-decade-old lodge structures this replaces served the public well beyond expectations, and we invite visitors who haven't been to Canaan in a while to come back and enjoy the improved complex any time of year."
The ribbon cutting ceremony is a special addition to the 2013 Governor's Conference on Tourism agenda being held at Canaan Valley Resort State Park. Gov. Tomblin will do the honors and will make remarks following the ribbon cutting ceremony.
Attendees are encouraged to call Judy Smith at 304-866-4111 if planning to attend so refreshments can be prepared, or email email@example.com, with the subject line: Canaan Valley Lodge.
The revitalization and construction of the Canaan Valley Resort Lodge began in May 2012, and the structures were completed in August 2013. Decorative aspects continue in the public areas and some sleeping rooms.
The North and South wings of the new lodge are four levels with each level having 42 rooms. The configuration, which includes eight suites, creates a total of 160 sleeping rooms. Some guest rooms include fireplaces, balconies, ADA access, VIP suites and individual climate control.
The additions and renovations utilize 94,637 square feet of new guest room and public space that transforms Canaan Lodge from a sprawling collection of detached units with exterior walkways into a grand resort hotel of great convenience and comfort for individual vacationers, skiers and groups alike.
Four elevators, updated fire protection, electrical and plumbing updates, parking lot repairs, landscaping, loading dock and meeting room upgrades also are part of the renovation process. The project covers approximately 3.5 acres.
The lodge rooms are decorated with colorful soft goods and case ware.
"There is a comfortable retro-feeling as you enter a lodge room," said Canaan Valley State Park Superintendant Rob Gilligan. "The valley and mountain views are exceptional. Folks visiting Canaan for the first time and those who remember the original structure will be amazed."
Canaan Valley State Park is accessed from State U.S. 32.

EMI: the inside story of Britain's biggest music company
Electric & Musical Industries was formed in 1931, initially releasing classical music, but went on to launch the Beatles, who changed the record label's operations and funded the company for years and years. The label's recording rules were further broadened by Queen and Pink Floyd. EMI ushered punk into the mainstream with Sex Pistols, and then embraced the New Romanticism and the polished excesses of Duran Duran. They made music videos big with Pet Shop Boys and made Brit Pop a thing with Blur, and were home to Radiohead. This is the inside story of EMI, one of the greatest British brands in recording history, as told by people involved with the record label's storied history, augmented by company and performance footage.

Miley Cyrus and the Flaming Lips
Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz is a new album by Miley Cyrus, released yesterday for free. 14 of the 23 tracks are cowritten and produced by Wayne Coyne and other members of The Flaming Lips, the rest either solo work, or made with her regular producers Mike Will Made It and Oren Yoel. Joe Coscarelli wrote about the making of the album for The New York Times. This is not the first time Miley Cyrus and the Flaming Lips have worked together, as she sang two Beatles with them last year, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (live version) and A Day in the Life (live version).

Proof that The Beatles traveled through time, from 1964 to 1994
Over 50 years ago, The Beatles arrived in New York for their first US visit, but what if ....
Having departed Heathrow on the 7th February 1964, John Lennon, in a playful mood, ordered the pilot to divert the plane via the Bermuda Triangle. Newly declassified documents reveal that Pan Am Flight 101 disappeared from US radar screens shortly after midday, local time. At great expense we have obtained – from reliable Russian mafia sources – an MP3 copy of the black box recorder of that ill-fated Boeing 707. This indicates that as far as those aboard the plane knew, after experiencing severe cyclonic turbulence over the Atlantic Ocean, they re-routed towards New York, believing themselves to have narrowly avoided aeronautical disaster. But on arriving at JFK airport, they were stunned to learn that they had arrived in the year 1994.That's the premise of An Adventure To Pepperland Through Rhyme & Space, a two-hour ill-trippy musical adventure with golden era hip-hop musicians, from P.E. to Spoonie Gee, Tha Liks to Hieroglyphics and Large Professor to Salt n Pepa, courtesy of Tom Caruna, also the artist behind Enter the Magical Mystery Chamber (previously, and still online)

808 State is an English electronic group that formed in 1987, and take their name from the Roland TR-808 drum machine and their shared state of mind. As a trio, they produced their iconic track, Pacific, which fused influences of house music, jazz fusion and exotica. The group changed membership a bit over the years, but one way or another 808 State have released six albums* to date, and a number of singles, EPs, and promotional discs. 808state.com has a ton of information, including an extensive visual discography, a list of other productions and remixes, and over a gig of demos, live tracks, and other non-album audio to download. Given the group's 27 year-long history, there's a lot more to see and hear. [more inside]
Portraits of a dysfunctional family
Deconstructing Harry
His is a career that feels both forgotten and deeply embedded in modern pop. He sang standards and rock and jazz and winding conceptual songs and tiny little kids' tunes and commercial jingles. He wrote, voiced, and spearheaded an animated film starring Dustin Hoffman. He played Dracula in a movie. He soundtracked a sitcom and nearly fought Jackie Gleason in a nightclub. He was "the Beatle across the water." He tore up London bars with Ringo Starr and Keith Moon. He invented the remix album. He also invented the mash-up. He dropped acid with Timothy Leary. He sang of moonbeams and fire and coconuts and puppies. He was a prodigious songwriter whose two biggest hits were covers. He performed live in concert in his prime exactly zero times. He wrote a musical about the Wright brothers. He had no. 1 albums and pop smashes and disastrous failures. He won Grammys. He was hilarious, and such a sad man.

Beatles harmony tutorial videos
Galeazzo Frudua, of Bologna, Italy, possesses an uncannily good ear for harmony, and has produced a series of videos that painstakingly and expertly analyze and demonstrate for you the vocal harmonies employed in various Beatles songs. His perceptive commentary, his very, very capable singing voice, unassuming manner, impressive video editing skills and, hey, his charming Italian accent all combine to create tutorial videos that are fun and educational viewing. Start with the first one he made, for Nowhere Man, and then, well, just check 'em all out. You won't be disappointed.
We're all Irish
Perhaps the greatest Irish band in history.

Meet the Cheatles
In February 1964, when the Beatles played the Ed Sullivan Show, record executives in America were faced with the question of how to get a piece of the Beatlemania action. The result was an explosion of knockoff Beatles records, promising things like "The Beetle Beat", "Beat-A-Mania" and "The Original Liverpool Sound", credited (often in type far smaller than the famous song titles) to bands with names like The Bearcuts, The Manchesters, The Moptops and the Liverpool Kids, and featuring cover models with varyingly plausible approximations of the Beatles' haircuts, as detailed by WFMU's Gaylord Fields (SLVimeo).

Meet the Beat-Alls
Ten years ago today, Cartoon Network aired a very special episode of The Powerpuff Girls. Though nominally a harmless kids series about three adorable kindergarten superheroes, creator Craig McCracken attracted an unexpectedly diverse audience (50% male, 25% adult) by sneaking in a surprising amount of violence and adult in-jokes -- and on that last point, this particular episode was king. Broadcast on the 37th anniversary of their debut on the Ed Sullivan Show, "Meet the Beat-Alls" was an extended and sophisticated metaphor for the rise and fall of The Beatles, cramming more than forty song references and dozens of visual jokes into only ten minutes of animated allegory. Catch the original episode here or read the transcript, but for the full effect, watch this remarkable YouTube mash-up that splices the referenced song clips directly into the audio track and plasters the screen with helpful annotations. Want more PPG goodness? You can start with the special "Powerpuff Girls Rule!!!" (part 2), a sly, hyperkinetic celebration of the show's tenth anniversary directed by McCracken himself that features every character (and totally subverts an important one). But as far as weirdness goes, it's hard to top Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi, a long-running fan-made webcomic which stars the trio alongside Dexter, Samurai Jack, Invader Zim, and tons of other network icons in an unusually dark manga adventure. Oh, and don't forget your plate of beans.
"Geh raus nach deinem, deinem Haus..."

You Can't Catch Me
You Can't Catch Me, Music and Lyrics by Chuck Berry. The Stones covered it. John Lennon was sued (twice!) for covering it and appropriating the lyrics. If Iggy Pop and the Stooges were never sued for doing the same thing as "Come Together" in 1970, perhaps it's because nobody could understand what exactly he was saying, not even the bands that took their names from the adapted lyrics. Perhaps JJ Cale was thinking of the chorus when he wrote Call Me The Breeze in 1971. Finally, though Jonothan Richman's "Roadrunner" clearly took inspiration from the Velvet Underground's Sister Ray and Bo Diddley's "Road Runner"(among other things), but, as a Berry fan, you can hear Richman echoing the lyrics in the Spirit of 1956 going Faster Miles an Hour, with the radio on, tuned to Rock And Roll.

Do you like musical instruments with lots of keyboards? And lots and lots of dials? Then you may like 36 15 MOOG: Stuff with Moog and/or 60's and 70's vintage synths in it. (related Ask MeFi) [more inside]
To put right what once went wrong
Christopher Bird at Mighty God King has written some corkers in the past - from his ejection from Livejournal owing to his review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to his frequent conversations with Flapjacks and Photoshopping of Final Fantasy Covers (previously). He's really outdone himself this time, with Scenes From An Alternate Universe Where The Beatles Accepted Lorne Michaels' Generous Offer. Read it, and, quite possibly, weep. Bonus points to the first person who constructs a Primer-level explanation of what happened.
Did you know Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings?

this was free so i'm very thankful for it. it's scent is little strong for me but i keep in reach when changing my son's diapers.
Handy Size for a Great Hand Sanitizer!

Hands felt clean not dry, no heavy alcohol scent

Mild citrus scent, non-drying, didn't leave my hands sticky or tacky.
