About Kelly M.Close
View Full Profile
I teach flutists of every age and level. In the beginning I like to ask each student what their goal is so that we can work towards that, whether it is to become first chair in band, make All-State or youth orchestra, play for Solo & Ensemble, perform with their church, or to just have fun and learn a new skill. In my lessons, I use positive reinforcement and encourage regular practice.
For beginners, I usually recommend doing a 30 minute lesson once per week and then increasing the lesson time and/or frequency as they become a stronger player. I use the Rubank Method for Flute as well as Pares Scales for beginning students. Once they have become more advanced I assign more challenging etude and scale books. When the student has a grasp of the instrument, I present solo repertoire and orchestral excerpts tailored for each level. I try to keep each student's goals, ability, age, and interests in mind when choosing music to keep the lessons engaging and fun!
About Kelly
My name is Kelly Meholic and I am a private flute lesson instructor. I have about 20 years playing experience and 12 years of experience teaching private flute lessons. In 2009 I graduated from the Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana with my Master's in Flute Performance. Prior to that I attended Florida State University and earned my Bachelor of Music in Flute Performance.
I am very lucky to be able to share my passion for playing the flute with others for a living! It is so awesome to hear how students grow with each lesson and to see them reach their goals whether it is gaining confidence in their playing, making All-State, or winning an audition or competition. One thing that I try to do in lessons is to send a recording after we have finished working on a piece. It is always fun to listen back down the ro
Lesson Length Recommendations:
Beginner - 30 minute lesson
Intermediate - 45 minute lesson
Advanced - 60 minute lesson
I was born and raised in Sarasota, Florida and began studying the flute at the age of 12. My interest in music was sparked after weeks of gazing longingly through the window as my twin sister crossed the street to her French horn lessons. I was determined to play an instrument too, so I asked my mom if I could take music lessons. It turned out that there was a fantastic flute teacher who happened to live down the street, so I began walking to my flute lessons. That flute teacher was Betsy Hudson-Traba, principal flutist of what is now the Sarasota Orchestra. Meeting her and starting flute lessons set my life down an incredible journey through music that would eventually take me halfway across the world.
With Betsy's instruction and encouragement, I had much success as a young musician. Throughout high school I played principal flute in Sarasota's youth orchestra program and was a winner of the Young Artist Competition. I attended Interlochen Arts Camp where I was exposed to many wonderful artists and teachers. With a lot of hard work, I was able to win first chair flute in the FMEA All-State multiple times and also participated every year in the Solo & Ensemble Festival. I loved playing classical music, but fell in love with marching band too and became drum major which ignited my passion for teaching.
Wanting to pursue music as a career, I went on to study with Eva Amsler at Florida State University where I earned my Bachelor of Music in flute performance. Her teaching gave me a greater understanding of tone development, movement, and body awareness. I had a lot of wonderful playing opportunities here and as an undergraduate was playing in the top orchestra. During my time at FSU I was a proud member of the "world renown" Marching CHIEFS, where I served as section leader to 50+ flutes! It was truly incredible having a weekly audience of 80,000 football fans cheering us on. One of my favorite and more unique ensembles I participated in at FSU was the Andean ensemble, Aconcagua. I played the zampona (panpipes) and the quena (Andean flute). I loved it because it gave me the chance to play flutes still, but in a different capacity that was much more free than the classical music setting I was accustomed to.
After undergrad, I decided to go abroad for graduate school earning my Master's at a small conservatory in beautiful Lugano, Switzerland called the Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana. I studied under Italian flutists, Mario Ancillotti, Stefano Parrino, and Giovanni Crola. Through their help I was able to refine and demonstrate greater musicality in my playing. Performance was emphasized greatly in lessons and in our school curriculum. I also had many opportunities to pursue my love of travelling and work on my foreign language skills!
After heading home to the States I began my freelance career substituting in various orchestras in Florida including the Sarasota Orchestra, Sarasota Ballet Orchestra, and the Southwest Florida Symphony Orchestra. I now live in Acworth, Georgia where I teach private flute lessons and play in the Alpharetta Symphony Orchestra as well as serve on the orchestra board as the Personnel Manager. In addition to music, I love spending time with my family, friends, my husband, Vance, and our adorable kitties (Ron & Harry) and sweet dog (Leia). I also enjoy volunteering at church where I work with the elementary age kids, reading, hiking, trying to bake, organizing, and cleaning!

*** Specialties ***
I have been told that I am especially good at helping people make the jump from playing by rote to reading from the page. In vocal instruction, I am familiar with three schools of technique: the psycho-imagery school, the "anatomical" school, and the Italian "open throat" approach. My background in acting also contributes basic vocal projection techniques to vocal training. I am comfortable with all genres of music, including pop, rock, soul, R&B, gospel, jazz and opera. In instrumental studies, I am a woodwind doubler, reading fluently and transposing on-the-spot . As a jazz and gospel artist I improvise primarily on the flute and saxophone. My piano skills are equivalent to a second-year college piano major. I can improvise accompaniments as well as read piano scores. In addition to being a certified teacher in Georgia, I attained national certification through the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards in 2004.

About Jessica P.Close
I enjoy teaching uniquely to the each student, rather than creating a master program that I apply to everyone in a blanket manner. All beginner students will learn specific scales, etudes, and techniques to get them to certain proficiency level, after which I begin tailoring the program to the student's musical tastes, abilities, and needs. One of my priorities with beginner and intermediate students is correctly developing tone from the beginning. I want to prevent students from forming the bad habits that come with forcing a merely passable tone, which is not only detrimental to long-term playing ability, but can lead to future injury. I also prioritize phrasing, which is just as important to musical success as tonguing, rhythm, and fingerings, even before students reach the advanced level.
I was Principal Flutist of the Wichita Symphony Orchestra for 4 years, and was the Piccoloist and 2nd Flutist in the Sarasota Opera Orchestra for 2 years. I am currently the Principal Flutist of ...
About Jessica

She was a finalist for Principal Flute of the Oregon Symphony, a super-finalist for Piccolo of the Houston Symphony, and was most recently the runner-up for Principal Flute of the Knoxville Symphony. You can hear some of her performances on her website, JessicaPetrasek.com.
Jessica has a huge passion for teaching, which she began at age 18. She has had students of all ages and levels, and has honed her teaching techniques, tailoring them to the specific needs of students whose manners of learning vary greatly. She is consistently surprised at what she discovers through teaching, even after 22 years of playing the flute. In addition to keeping a private flute studio, Jessica has been a tutor of Latin and Ancient Greek for five years, and has substitute taught. Her main hobby is English-style horseback riding, specifically Eventing.

Are Scherzy and Sheeran the next power couple in pop?
Nicole Scherzinger released her newest single 'Your Love,' a memorable dance track that'll have you singing along to the chorus' "do-do-do."
Former Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger is pretty active on Twitter, but for the most part she relegates her page to "inspirational" quotes, promotional information and random Instagram photos (mostly memes and some mirror shots). Until last week, that is.
Scherzinger may have topped even herself with some recent photos, which featured the songstress inexplicably frolicking with taxidermy animals and various foodstuffs.

I'm usually pretty sensitive to this but I didn't realize when I made the 8pm reservation that their hours were until 9:30 on Tuesday, and they didn't mention their hours when I made it. It was a regular dinner that I have with a couple of friends and we usually chat a while over dinner. We arrived at 8pm and by the time we finished our food it was just after 10. We paid the bill around 15 minutes later but were still talking when we were approached and told they had closed an hour ago. There were two other tables that I think were told the same thing, we all got up and left within a few minutes (that's what we do in Calgary).
I'm wondering, is it reasonable to expect that they should have said what time they close when I made the reservation? If I had known that they closed within 1.5 hours we would likely have gone somewhere else since we usually spend at least 2 hours (usually more) chatting and catching up. It's always on a weekday so it's not like there are others booked after us. It was a Thai restaurant that I'd been to once before, and I had selected it. The food was better the first time, but it was good. I'm not sure if I'm being unreasonable to be annoyed about getting kicked out and not go back.
I'd be OK with it if it was a long time after we had paid but it was basically less than 20 minutes. I don't know what the other two tables thought. They offered dessert after we had dinner (I think after 9:30) and we ordered some which contributed to the lateness.

Happy 1st Anniversary - February Subscription Box Preview
Posted byon
We are pleased to announce that February marks our one year anniversary for the Selected Monthly Club.
Because of this milestone we decided to incorporate our logo and brand colors into this months box.
We are quite sure you will approve of the feel and design of the monthly box items we have selected.
You will notice we have decided to incorporate a great knit tie into this box. Why?
The knit tie is perfect for winter and it embodies what Harrison Blake stands for - durability and quality - partnered with style. The burgundy and blue color mirrors our brand colors. What better way to celebrate than with our company colors and one of our favorite accessories - the knit tie.
The next piece we'd like to highlight is the pocket square we had the pleasure of designing. The color scheme matches the tie and mimics the block design in its own way. The burgundy trim is the real gem of this piece as it pops against any suit jacket or blazer you decide to pair it with.
This month we are also so excited to reveal the scissor tie bar. Our logo as you have noticed is the scissors, which stands for the craftsmanship of fine tailoring that goes into every piece we present to you. This detailed and unique tie bar will definitely draw compliments and makes a unique conversation piece. The sturdy design and shimmering silver will draw the eye towards it overtime you put it on.
The bracelet we have selected this month is a dark black bead, accented by burgundy again and a bit of white. As the winter comes to an end we thought this masculine piece tied the whole look together. We hope you agree!
Lastly, we present a pair of Harrison Blake socks. We wanted to have this anniversary month, allow you to wear Harrison Blake Apparel from head to toe. The burgundy color goes perfect with the other items and the circular design on the sock will remind you of the black beads on the bracelet.
We are so confident that when you step out on the town wearing this ensemble - you will turn heads. Our goal each month is to deliver well put together boxes of dapper goods that make it easy to take an outfit from ordinary to extraordinary at a minimal cost but with maximum style...
This month we hope you feel we delivered on that promise with the February Selected Monthly Box.
Being that this is our anniversary we hope you join in the celebration and sign up (if you haven't already).
If you are already a member - we can't thank you enough! Please, tell a friend about this amazing deal and how Harrison Blake can change your look for $25 per month.

Cades Cove
SMoky Mountains Travel Blog› entry 1 of 1 › view all entries
Geologically, Cades Cove is a type of valley known as a "limestone window," created by erosion that removed the older Precambrian sandstone, exposing the younger Paleozoic limestone beneath.[2] More weathering-resistant formations, such as the Cades sandstone which underlies Rich Mountain to the north and the Elkmont and Thunderhead sandstones which form the Smokies crest to the south surround the cove, leaving it relatively isolated within the Great Smokies. As with neighboring limestone windows such as Tuckaleechee to the north and Wear Cove to the east, the weathering of the limestone produced deep, fertile soil, making Cades Cove attractive to early farmers.
The majority of the rocks that make up Cades Cove are unaltered sedimentary rocks formed between 340 million and 570 million years ago during the Ordovician period.[4] The Precambrian rocks that comprise the high ridges surrounding the cove are Ocoee Supergroup sandstones, formed approximately 1 billion years ago.[5] The mountains themselves were formed between 200 million and 400 million years ago during the Appalachian orogeny, when the North American and African plates collided, thrusting the rock formations upward.[6]
[edit] Gregory's Cave
The fracturing and weathering of the limestone and sandstone in Cades Cove has led to the formation of several caves in the vicinity, the two largest of which are Gregorys Cave and Bull Cave.
The entrance to Gregory's Cave is approximately 10 feet (3.0 m) wide and 4 feet (1.2 m) high. The cave consists primarily of one large passage that averages 20 to 55 feet (17 m) wide and 15 feet (4.6 m) high. This passage is 435 feet (133 m) long and a side passage to the right (south) is developed about 300 feet (91 m) from the entrance. This side passage ends after about 100 feet (30 m). In the vicinity of this side passage are "Talley Marks" on the wall, which were typically left by saltpeter miners. The dirt on this side of the cave has been excavated and removed and pick marks are still visible in the dirt. Saltpeter mining occurred in this region from the late 18th century through the Civil War, so this mining activity must have occurred sometime between 1818, when settlers arrived in Cades Cove and 1865, the end of the Civil War.
Gregory's Cave is the only cave in the national park that was ever developed as a commercial cave. The cave was opened to the public in July 1925. After the Gregory property was bought for the national park in 1935, the Gregory family was given a "lifetime dowry" and the owner, J. J. Gregory's wife Elvira, was allowed to live there until she died on March 26, 1943. One of her sons was allowed to remain on the property until he harvested his crop in the fall of 1943. After 1943, the property was completely owned by the National Park Service.
Donald K. MacKay, a geologist with the National Park Service, reported that the Gregory family still showing the cave commercially as late as 1935.[10] At that time the admission price was 50 cents for adults and children were admitted free.
During its history as a commercial cave, Gregory's Cave had walkways, which were made of wood in some places, and electric lights. Wesley Herman Gregory, son of J.
During the Cold War, Gregory's Cave was designated as a fallout shelter, with an assigned capacity of 1,000 people. The cave was stocked with food, water, and other emergency supplies.
Gregory's Cave is now securely gated and entrance is by permit only from the National Park Service. Entrance is generally restricted to scientific researchers.
[edit] History [edit] Early history
Throughout the 18th century, the Cherokee used two main trails to cross the Smokies from North Carolina to Tennessee en route to the Overhill settlements.
By 1797 (and probably much earlier), the Cherokee had established a settlement in Cades Cove known as "Tsiya'hi," or "Otter Place."[14] This village, which may have been little more than a seasonal hunting camp, was located somewhere along the flats of Cove Creek.
Cades Cove was named after a Tsiya'hi leader known as Chief Kade.[16] Little is known of Chief Kade, although his existence was verified by a European trader named Peter Snider (1776–1867), who settled nearby Tuckaleechee Cove.[16] Abrams Creek, which flows through the cove, was named after another local chief, Abraham of Chilhowee. A now-discredited theory suggested that the cove was named after Abraham's wife, Kate.[17]
The Treaty of Calhoun (1819) ended all Cherokee claims to the Smokies, and Tsiya'hi was abandoned shortly thereafter. The Cherokee would linger in the surrounding forests, however, occasionally attacking settlers until 1838 when they were removed to the Oklahoma Territory (see Trail of Tears

Regardless of the topic, these town meetings provide a casual setting. If you are unable to attend any of the town meetings below or would like to discuss legislative issues, call Sen. Ingebrigtsen at (651) 297-8063 or e-mail email@example.com.

We loved our stay at this home.........it was exactly as described.

Property is exactly as the photos and listing describe. It is clean and contained everything you could need in the kitchen for cooking / eating.
The porch is wonderful and we found it a great place to sit and relax, watching the pelicans dive for food in the canel. Lots of great pictures!!
The owners made great recommendations for restaurants in the area, and even brought a fresh can of coffee by and were generally accomodating.
There is a local grocery store nearby so it is easy to stock up on supplies. We also purchased shrimp from a local stand just south of the grocery store - some of the best shrimp we have had.
We plan to stay here again when we come to New Orleans again, and would recommend to anyone.
This is a great place for a multi-generation visit. We were a group of nine family members ranging in age from 72 years old to 9 years old. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The accommodations are exactly as described in the "Home Away" website, and Thomas and Gia Rogers were excellent hosts--not intrusive, but always available.
Loved the houses & they were incredibly safe & beautiful. We had 13 of us in 2 houses, within the block, & had plenty of room for all of us. The Denise La Blanc house was wonderful & we did everything together there. The weather was cold & wet, but didn't hamper us at all. We went into New Orleans 4 times (40 minutes & no traffic - even over New Years) & loved the entire area. The owners were responsive to all our needs & we'd recommend this to anyone.

In 2011 the album charts showed a new record for national products with 432 titles at 54.73 percent overall, up from 2010's 375 titles (49 percent). Universal Music Group had the largest percentage with 100 titles (19.4 percent), with Sony Music's 103 titles (14.65 percent), Warner Music Group's 66 titles (8.21 percent), EMI's 28 titles (7.73 percent), and Goodtogo's 24 titles (1.64 percent) following behind.

Real cost of whiplash to accident victims
Cutting the soaring rates of insurance for motorists might also cut access to justice and compensation for genuine cases
Headlines about ministers' crackdown on the £2 billion a year costs of whiplash car accident claims have been predictably hailed with enthusiasm by insurers this week.
As ministers hosted a summit with insurers in London to outline the next steps in the blitz on "false claims", motoring organisations such as the AA said that reform of the system could not "come soon enough".
Simon Douglas, director of AA Insurance, said: "I hope that today's Government announcement will see a tight timescale applied to reform of the civil litigation, which at present encourages people to make a claim regardless of how serious their injury is or even if they have not suffered injury at all.
"Importantly, we need reforms that clamp down on cold-call claims management…

Shea aims to have the final say for famous Derry clan
A pity for fans of symmetry, that the Derry minor captain Shea Downey will be in the number 13 jersey tomorrow against Donegal.
He started against Tyrone in the Ulster quarter-final with number six on his back - the same number his uncle Henry wore when Derry won their only All-Ireland senior title in 1993.
Shea's father, Seamus, was full-forward, number 14 on the same day. Little wonder that the Lavey boy was destined for big things in the GAA as he prepares to face his second Ulster minor final in Clones.
"There is a bit of pressure to live up to, big shoes to fill, that's what he (Seamus) says anyway. He says that I should be more worried about my wee brother coming behind me than any pressure," laughs Shea.
With St Pat's Maghera, Downey was at centre-back for their MacRory Cup win over St Ronan's of Lurgan last March. The south Derry seat of learning have established something of a stronghold on college's football once again under the management of Paul Hughes. But at the same time, only four of the MacRory team makes it into the starting 15 of the Derry side this Sunday.
Damian McErlain heads up a management team of 10 individuals all tasked with precise and defined roles. A former underage coach with his club Magherafelt, McErlain has the highly-rated Killian Conlan - brother of senior goalkeeping coach Mickey - as a sounding board, and they also have Michael 'Mal' McMullen, sports journalist with The Derry Post newspaper, as statistics man.
At home, Downey uses father Seamus as the man to go to for advice.
"He would always help me out," he begins.
"Especially when it comes to the morning of the matches. He would tend to calm me down a wee bit. He would be a big help that way."
While he has seen the videos of the previous generation of Downeys claiming that '93 All-Ireland, stories and folklore of that time are passed on down through his grandfather, Henry Joe, rather than through Seamus and Henry. And then there is his grandmother, who is still a massive fan of all her offspring, although she cannot bear to actually go to the matches.
Instead, she goes to the local chapel and says a silent prayer.
While it was not needed in the Ulster quarter-final when they beat Tyrone 1-15 to 0-10, they possibly required some divine intervention in the semi-final against Armagh, when it took extra-time for the Oak Leaf lads to progress, 1-17 to 0-14.
Facing them in the final are neighbours Donegal. They took care of Antrim in the quarter-final 2-11 to 2-7, and Monaghan in the semi-final, 3-15 to 2-12.
The two met at the semi-final stage last year, with Derry prevailing before going on to beat Cavan in the Ulster final. From Donegal, only Seaghan Farry, Jason McGee and Niall O'Donnell played a role in that game.
Donegal manager Shaun-Paul Barrett was commenting on the sheer effort put in at this age-group, stating: "The way it is now, minors have to work equally as hard as the seniors. Preparation is very similar, in terms of their diet, nutrition and hydration."
McGee forms a seriously tall and skillful midfield with Kieran Gallagher, something that Derry will have to plan for, undoubtedly with Downey flooding the area.
He acknowledges: "It's hard to play against. They are a strong team. This year they beat us pretty well in the league and they ended up winning the league. But we are not just going to make up numbers in the final. We have to be ready for it."
Derry have a different look this year. They are without Conor Glass who is off to pursue a career in the AFL with Hawthorn, and Jack Doherty is overage. While there was more 'superstar' quality to last year's side, this feels more like a 'team' in its' truest sense.
It will come as no surprise to those that know manager McErlain, that he has already been to see the Munster minor final between Kerry and Cork. Should they win tomorrow, they are on course to meet Munster losers Cork. Lose, and it's Munster champions Kerry in the All-Ireland quarter-final.
Downey is impressed by the set-up, and McErlain in particular.
"He and the whole management team are very well organised. We know what we are doing and what we are supposed to do. The whole thing is very well set-up and we are well looked-after.
"I was in the half-forward line, but I was roaming back last year as a sweeper. Getting forward as well. There was a lot of running involved."
Last year's involvement certainly stands to him, he agrees.
"(It was) Definitely a big help, experience-wise and confidence-wise.
"Derry maybe had a few years when they weren't successful at minor level. Last year gave us a bit of confidence that we are as good as anybody."
DERRY (v Donegal, UMFC Final): B McKinless; C McCluskey, G McLaughlin, A Bradley; P McGrogan, E Concannon, S McErlain; P Coney, O McWilliams; C Doherty, C Devlin, P Quigg; S Downey, F Higgins, E Bradley

Jordan window balance replacements
A handy person from Arlington, Texas says:
May 26, 2014
Please advise if you have replacement balances #2840 for the Jordan windows. They do not tilt out.
I will need 14 of them.
Quote price and shipping please.

Tom from SWISCO responded:
May 28, 2014
Hey, thanks for posting. I've narrowed this down to two possible channel balance Series: either our Series 351 or our Series 390 balances.
Now, as you can see, there is only one difference between these two Series, and that is their bottom shoe. The Series 351 uses the 15-002 while the Series 390 uses the 15-001. I can't quite tell what you have based on your pictures, though, since your shoe is so badly damaged. Do you have one that isn't broken? If so, please carefully compare their dimensions to your own hardware and see which is a better match.

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Iraq said Sunday it would resume its oil exports to fulfill its existing contracts, backing away from a halt it called two days earlier in a dispute with the United Nations over pricing.
Iraq, the third largest producer in OPEC, stopped production Friday, blaming the United Nations' refusal to authorize a new payment arrangement for exports under the oil-for-food program.

Fee Fi Foe Film: Northwestern Defense
Previously: Northwestern Offense
Matthew Harris forms half of arguably the best corner duo in the B1G. [Fuller]
Let's get this out of the way: Minnesota's offense is bad, they should feel bad, and trying to scout an opposing defense based on their performance against the Gophers is difficult because of that. I stopped charting when Minnesota benched Mitch Leidner for a true freshman. I hope you understand.
Personnel: Seth's diagram [click to embiggen]:
This is a defense with standouts on every level; it was tempting to give both of their safeties stars as well, but I didn't see enough of them in coverage, and that wasn't their fault.
Base Set? 4-3 under, though Northwestern will shift to an over depending on the offense's alignment. When Minnesota went three-wide (which was rare), nickel Keith Watkins replaced SAM Drew Smith. Former four-star recruit Ifeadi Odenigbo comes in as a pass-rush specialist for the most part.
[Hit THE JUMP for the rest of the breakdown.]
Upon Further Review 2015: Offense vs Maryland
Upon Further Review still has a sponsor.
Do not worry. The pants thing is still valid. Someone tweeted me worried that he would have to be formally attired after I failed to mention it last time. This is not the case. I was just stretching my creative muscles. Last time that happens EVER, thanks twitter guy.
Matt's got a ticket offer going for a Michigan football or basketball game. If you're buying a home or refinancing, he's the right guy to call. (No pants required.)
FORMATION NOTES: Harbaugh unearthed a chestnut from the first half of the 20th century when he debuted a T formation:
After some Wikipedia reading I decided that Pro T == 1 WR, Wide T == 2 WR, and Power T == 0 WR. "Wide T" is not to be confused with "Split T," which means the OL take up crazy wide splits.
There wasn't anything too weird other than that unless you count a three wide shotgun formation as weird. Michigan spread the field much more than they did against BYU. They were still heavy; WRs got more snaps. Sometimes there were even two of them on the field at the same time.
SUBSTITUTION NOTES: Not much of note. Kerridge and Smith did not play. Isaac, Green, and Johnson seemed to split the RB opportunities down the middle for much of the game, with Isaac exiting permanently after his second fumble. Johnson got more playing time as the game went along.
OL was the usual, FB the usual minus Kerridge. WR was a bit more diverse than the last couple games, with Freddy Canteen and Grant Perry getting a dozen or so snaps each. Michigan spent more of this game in three-wide.
[After THE JUMP: scratching out… actually a lot more than they needed.]
Guess the Score, Win Stuff: N0rthwestern
[MGoRadio's Monday at Moe's Update: North Peak Brewery is donating beer! We have beer! We also have just 15 spots left]
too slow.
David Underwood was the heir apparent to Chris Perry and this was fine. He was a highly rated recruit out of Texas, and in 2004 it was his turn. Jerome Jackson was his backup, and this was fine; he was the bonus piece from LaMarr Woodley's recruitment and was apparently good at getting the edge. Behind them was Pierre Rembert and this was fine; Pierre had gotten a few snaps as a true freshman in '03 and looked pretty good. And if we needed to dip deeper there was a highly touted true freshman, Max Martin, who maybe ran a bit too upright but was also getting fall chatter about displacing folks.
Then there was the 2-star from somewhere in that wasteland Canadians talk about when they cross at Niagara, who became a 3-star because Michigan offered. Little guy, ran up a bazillion yards against the part of New York that's really the Midwest. You know the rest.
Either this or Worst State Ever was the very first MGoShirt. It comes from a time before a time when we realized we can't make such things without the guy's permission. It also comes from a time after a long time of chasing said guy around and trying to get him to be down with it. As various Big Ten detritus can attest this is not easy with said guy. He doesn't really stop, nor does he go down. If you pick him up and put him on his head the legs will just keep spinning until you put him back down, whereupon he will continue running. This happened to future NFL linebackers; now imagine you're a furry fat guy yelling "please Mister; this blog was started because of YOU!"
Well it turns out he does stop for something, and that's to replant hope in the wasteland he turned over back when we thought Underwood/ Jackson/ Rembert/ Martin would take most of the 2004-'07 carries.
Thus returns the original MGoShirt, except with the guy's actual name on it. Proceeds from it will go to the Mike Hart Family Foundation, and the Central New York Football Academy. And the first person who correctly guesses this week's Michigan score will get a free one. You can probably already guess Northwestern's number.
How this works again:
- Readers predict the final score of a designated game by placing a guess in the comments, preferably in the format of [M score][hyphen][Opp score], for example "41-0" or "35-0 Michigan", or "28-0 Go Blue", or "42-0 Harbaugh!" etc.
- The three guys who read this part holler at people who post in a different format
- First person (by timestamp) to post a particular score has it.
- If you got it right, I contact you for an address by your MGoBlog account email, and you give me some time to get that to you.
- If nobody got it right or I don't hear from the winner(s) we push it to next week or let it go.
About Last Time:
28-0 and thanks again to MGoNukeE for picking out the winner, who was slacker, who beat BlueReign to the score by one minute! Since there was no winner the previous week, I feel entitled to have two this time.
This Week's Game:
Homecoming versus the Wildcats. At 3:30 they gon' die.
And on the Line:
Fine Print:
One entry per user. First user to choose a set of scores wins, determined by the timestamp of your entry (for my ease I prefer if you don't post it as a reply to another person's score--if you do it won't help or hurt you). Deadline for entries is 24 hours before the start of the game. MGoEmployees and moderators exempt from winning. The algorithm finds the winners as it chooses. The algorithm is self-correcting. The algorithm consistently runs power. The algorithm is banned in Jersey. The algorithm is better than you are ready to admit. They gon' die.
Wednesday Presser 10-7-15: John Baxter
What goes into deciding whether to go punt block or punt return when you've got such an explosive return man in Jabrill?
"Uh…same thing that goes into when you throw a fastball or the curve. You know, you've got to pressure- the ability to pressure a punter keeps people in protection, sets up the ability to return. The ability to return a punt sets up the ability to pressure, and it's really not unlike making calls of any kind in the game of football. You do all your work and you crunch all your numbers but you coach the game by feel, and it pretty much is that."
How pleased are you with that unit? Does that unit still have more to give?
"The punt return unit?"
And punt block.
"I'll tell ya, I'm really pleased, actually, with the punt return. The amazing thing is we've had 51 reps of it in five games now. Somebody needs to go back far and see how many times there's 51 reps in five games. Obviously it's because we're playing amazing defense and what have you, but if you really look at what the unit has done, there've been three returnable balls kicked to us out of 51, okay? Obviously we had a round robin with all the Australian rugby punters against each other in the first four games, and everybody found out it's really hard to return one of those. Three returnable balls, and we've- you know, the baseball analogy is we've hit the ball hard but unfortunately we've knocked it off the wall for doubles and triples. We haven't had a home run yet.
"I think the thing that goes unsaid is Jabrill's amazing decision-making back there [and] unselfishness to not risk balls that shouldn't be touched or should be on the ground, protecting his teammates, those kinds of things. Besides being explosive the punt returner needs to be a great decision-maker and really needs to handle the ball well because one of the things we always say is if you have the ball you have the team, and you need to take care of the team. It's been effective. I wish we could get more returnable balls, but I'm not in control of that."

Opponent Watch 2015: Week 5
Hey, I'm back. Sorry I missed last week. I tried to call, but it kept going straight to voicemail, and I didn't want to leave a message because I figured I'd just see you Tuesday at the thing.
About Last Week:
The Road Ahead:
#13 Northwestern (5-0, 1-0 B1G)
Last week: Beat Ball State 24-19, Beat Minnesota 27-0
Recap: Northwestern is a thing. Probably.
They're 5-0, they're ranked in the top 15 for the first time 2001. They've given up the fewest points per game in the country (unless you're just talking about points surrendered by the defense, in which case Michigan has the best scoring defense). They're only giving up 4.0 yards per pass attempt, and have yet to surrender a 200 yard passing day to anyone.
But at the same time, the algorithms don't like them very much (they're #29 in the S&P+) and Vegas doesn't trust them (they opened +12 against Michigan, which has since moved to about +8). And the reason is pretty obvious. They haven't scored more than 24 points against any FBS opponents, and they're #116 in the country in yards per play and #119 in passing yards per game.
Still, Northwestern remains a team about which we don't know a lot, other than "defense good, offense bad." Case in point: Northwestern bludgeoned Minnesota 27-0, which looks like a score indicative of an all-three-phases performance. But 14 of those points came on a fumble return for a touchdown and a punt return to the 5 yard line. Northwestern held Minnesota under 200 yards, but barely cracked 300 yards themselves.
This team is as frightening as: The upper end of the thing MInnesota was supposed to be. Fear Level = 7
Michigan should worry about: Northwestern is second in the conference in pretty much every major defensive category.
Michigan can sleep soundly about: They are second to Michigan in pretty much every major defensive category
When they play Michigan: Northwestern is what is known as a "fleet in being." The problem isn't that Northwestern is necessarily a good team. It that they are potentially a good team. Michigan plays Northwestern immediately before Michigan State, and I'm sure Harbaugh would prefer to treat this game much like they did UNLV; throw rock the whole time, not show anything interesting, and maybe set up the next opponent for a couple of counterpunches. But Northwestern looks real enough to have to take as a potentially serious game, thus losing the opportunity to play for the next move.
This week: @ #18 Michigan, 3:30, BTN

Wednesday Presser 10-7-15: DJ Durkin
We've heard a lot of guys say you tell them to stamp their personality on the defense. When did you start using that?
"I don't know for sure when. Some time ago. I think it's just a way for me to describe to those guys that-I mean, I think it's important to play with a personality. You were recruited here for reasons that are good. Don't change that. We don't want robots. Keep playing the way you play, obviously within the scheme and what we do, but play the way you play the game. I think that's important."
They also say they believe in what they're being given now, and that gives them more confidence. Can you talk about, as a coach, watching that process take place?
"Yeah. I just- I'm really proud of our guys of how hard they've been playing. That's the biggest thing to me is playing with effort and playing with the technique we're talking about, and so any time you get a group of guys that are believing in one another and playing for one another then I think you have a chance to have something special, and I think they're starting to understand what that means."
Any similarities between Oregon State's offense and Northwestern's
"Yeah, I think too often spread teams are all clumped together like, 'Oh, they're a spread team or a one-back team.' I think there's always a lot more differences that apply within those offenses than what some might say. Northwestern's definitely unique in what they do and they're really good at what they do. I mean, they've had that system there for a while and they do a great job. You can tell their players know what's going on and know where they want to go."
What are some of those unique things?
"Just…they're committed to the run game. They're a physical group. They're committed to the run game, and they do a great job of changing up formations and personnel and all that but at the end of the day they want to run that ball, and they do a great job of it."
You do some hands-on teaching. They said you get in the drills sometimes and show them stuff. Is that something that you've always kind of felt people learn better that way or it keeps you engaged or why do you do that?
"I don't know. I've probably never but that much thought into it other than I think just what we said about stamp your personality as a player. I think you do the same thing as a coach, you know, and that's…I don't know. That's just me. I like being hands-on and being involved in it. I like being high energy. Whatever your personality is, if you're true to it I think that usually gets a response."
[After THE JUMP: Nothing else about robots. Cyborgs maybe, but not robots. Fine, no cyborgs either. But defense, yes. Definitely some talk about the defense.]

Following a decade of unparalleled success after Roman Abramovich's arrival at Chelsea in 2003, the Blues can justifiably lay claim to being one of the biggest clubs in world football. A haul of 11 major pieces of silverware has led to a growing fanbase around the globe and the club's off-field activities, both domestically and on an international scale, have increased accordingly. This website showcases these wide-ranging projects.
On Tour
Chelsea's Here to Play, Here to Stay philosophy was first used in conjunction with our pre-season tour of Asia in 2011 and has subsequently been attached to our trips to America in 2012 and 2013's return to Asia.
Here to Play, Here to Stay is more than just a motto, it is about Chelsea Football Club leaving a lasting legacy wherever we travel, long after the first team have departed. Chelsea Foundation coaches and other staff members oversee a multitude of events, with projects also running throughout the year, to help improve football at a grassroots level, with our Blue Pitches, soccer schools and community programmes offering first-class facilities. Work is also carried out to promote health, fitness, diet, nutrition and education.
"We're seen as the community team thanks to our Here to Play, Here to Stay initiative," said Chief Executive Ron Gourlay after the 2013 tour, which saw us visit Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. "We always carry out grassroots work and I think we engage with our fans very well."
Wherever you may be
Chelsea conduct projects and interact with fans all over the world. Having run coaching courses for youngsters in London and the south-east of England since the early Nineties, as our popularity around the globe has increased, so too have our international projects. Soccer Schools and Blue Pitches are currently in operation throughout Asia, with the aim to have a presence in 15 different countries by 2016.
Many of the club's activities take place in conjunction with our official partners, such as adidas, Samsung and Singha. The club also collaborates with our global charity partner Right To Play on numerous initiatives around the globe. On top of this are link-ups with other organisations, such as our ground-breaking scheme with FA Harlem in New York and the Super Clubs project operating in four American states.
As Chelsea's support grows around the world, so do the number of ways in which fans can interact with the Blues. With over 200 official supporters' clubs covering every continent and a bespoke international membership package, you can always stay connected with the club, wherever you may be.
Chelsea Foundation
Soon after becoming Chelsea's owner, Mr Abramovich made it clear that he wanted the club to be a force for good away from the field of play, as well as a great football team, with an emphasis being placed on corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. Our own charitable trust, the Chelsea Foundation, was established in 2010 to oversee all this work.
The Foundation's international development department was created the following year, coinciding with our first Here to Play, Here to Stay tour of Asia, and has been aiding the Blues' projects around the world ever since.
Football development programmes at our Soccer Schools and Blue Pitches form an important part of the Foundation's work, with initiatives also focusing on employment, education, anti-discrimination, social inclusion, crime reduction and tackling youth offending.

Hatzor, Israel (AFP) April 2, 2017
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday the latest addition to Israel's missile defences meant that those seeking to destroy the Jewish state would be endangering their own existence.
He was speaking at a formal ceremony to hand the "David's Sling" system from its developers over to its Israeli air force operators.
The medium-range interceptor, developed with United States backing, is designed to fill the gap between the longer-range Arrow missile defence system and the shorter-range Iron Dome interceptor.
Together, said Netanyahu, they would "protect Israel, our citizens, our cities".
"Whoever seeks to strike us will be struck, whoever threatens our existence will place his own existence in jeopardy," he said in a speech at the commissioning ceremony, at Hatzor air force base in central Israel.
David's Sling, named for the slingshot with which the Bible says the future King David slew the Philistine giant Goliath, was developed by Israel's Rafael Advanced Defence Systems and US company Raytheon.
The Jewish state lists several aerial threats, some on its borders and others, such as Iran, far beyond.
One is Lebanon's Hezbollah, with which it fought a devastating 2006 war.
The Israeli military believes Hezbollah today has between 100,000 and 120,000 short- and medium-range missiles and rockets, as well as several hundred long-range missiles, with the medium-range missiles capable of reaching Tel Aviv.
Also, last month Israeli warplanes struck several targets in neighbouring Syria, drawing retaliatory missile fire, in the most serious incident between the two countries since the start of the Syrian civil war in 2011.
Israel used its Arrow interceptor to destroy what was believed to have been a Russian-made SA 5 missile and Israeli Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman threatened to destroy Syria's air defence systems "without the slightest hesitation" if it happened again.
Israel has sought to avoid being dragged into the Syrian conflict, but has carried out strikes there to stop what it says are advanced weapons deliveries to Hezbollah.
Missiles and rockets are also periodically fired at Israel from the adjacent Gaza Strip, generally by hardline Islamist groups opposed to the Palestinian territory's Hamas rulers.
But Israel holds Hamas responsible for all rocket fire from Gaza regardless of who carried it out and routinely strikes Hamas installations in response.
Netanyahu's strongest words were reserved for Iran, which he says seeks to "destroy the state of the Jews" and has ambitions to build nuclear weapons.
Iran says its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes only.
US President Donald Trump slapped fresh sanctions against Tehran's weapons procurement network following a ballistic missile test on January 29.
Iranian officials say the missile programme is purely defensive.
Washington (UPI) Mar 31, 2017
Raytheon's Air and Missile Defense Radar tracked a ballistic missile test target for the first time during a U.S. Navy exercise in Kauai, Hawaii. During what the Navy praised as a successful demonstration, the system searched for, acquired and tracked its target. The event followed a series of trials for the system which examined its ability to track satellites and aircraft. "We ... read more
