DOVER — Three candidates are running on the Democratic side of the primary ballot for a seat on Executive Council for District 2 — Shawn Mickelonis, John D. Shea and Colin Van Ostern. On the Republican side, Michael J. Tierney is running unopposed.
Van Ostern, 33, of Concord, said he has lived in the area for 11 years and seeks to bring more focus to jobs and economic growth. He said he is for less government interference "in our personal lives."
"I believe New Hampshire is a unique and amazing place to raise a family and grow a business," Van Ostern said. "Our state government should be supporting what makes this state great, but too often Concord has been focused on an ideological agenda that distracts from our real priorities."
He said he supports accepting federal grants to students, the feasibility of bringing a passenger rail from Boston to Concord as well as Gov. John Lynch's licensing and business creation and expansion plan. He added he is opposed to the Executive Council's refusal to renew the appointment of the most recent "consumer advocate" Meredith Hatfield.
He works as a business manager at Stonyfield Farm, Inc. in Manchester and received an MBA from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. He notes in a biography he has been endorsed by U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.
Shea, 77, of Nelson, served on the Executive Council for District 2 from 2007 to 2008 and from 2009 to 2010 and currently serves as town treasurer in Nelson.
"As the treasurer of a small community, � I see every day the financial struggles of not only the town, but the families in the community," Shea said.
He referenced his previous years on the council from 2007 to 2010 noting the group worked well together.
"I was able to work very closely with Councilor Burton and the former commissioner John Stephen to establish (the) district health council meetings in various communities ," he said. "We held a series of meetings with all the commissioners to reduce paper flow and we also raise the value of contracts to come before the council."
He added he believes he was the first Democrat to ever hold the District 2 seat.
Mickelonis, of Rochester, was born in Dover and graduated from Somersworth High School in 1999. He was a member of the American Legion from 2006 to 2008, where said he developed a greater appreciation for veterans. He is a member of the Rochester Democratic Committee.
"I will work with fellow Democrats, as well as Republicans, to ensure a state budget that not only does not cut programs, but actually balances a budget, cuts spending, and without instituting a state income tax," he said. "With the current state of the economy, a state income tax is the last thing our citizens need."
He also refers to himself as a "true, red-blooded American."
Republican candidate Tierney, 35, of Contoocook, is an attorney who has lived in the area for the last seven years. He attended Dartmouth College and the law school at the University of Notre Dame and said, if elected, he would act as "a check on excessive and wasteful state spending."
"The Executive Council plays a critical role in our state's government to check the power and limit the spending of the state," Tierney said. "We need a councilor who will limit the size and power of the state, not seek to increase it."
Three Democrats, one Republican running for Executive Council District 2

Dawgs get No. 23
After narrowing his recruitment down to two teams, Georgia and Florida, and taking a trip to both campuses, Thomson tight end Jordan Davis didn't waste any time making a decision on where he will play his college ball.
"Yes sir, I committed to Georgia," said Davis.
One Saturday, Davis told UGASports that he was not looking forward to calling the coach of his second-place team, but a little more than 24 hours later, he did just that.
Then he let the Georgia coaches know that he would be joining their recruiting class as the 23rd member.
"I called the Florida coaches first to let them know what I was going to do," he said. "Then I called Coach (Mark) Richt and told him I am going to be a Bulldog. Then I called coach (John) Lilly and told him. He was really excited too. Both coaches wanted to talk to my mother (Laverne Davis) too."
In his conversation with the Georgia head coach, Davis made a statement to Richt that, in a way, confirmed what he thought to be the right decision.
"I told Coach Richt that I was going to be a Bulldog," said Davis. "But I'm already a Bulldog. We are Bulldogs here at Thomson, so once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog I guess. I grew up rooting for Georgia, but it took a little while for me to earn and offer. Before I got the offer I was thinking I should look at other teams pretty hard, but once Georgia offered, it was back on again."
The decision to join Georgia's class wasn't always an easy one and the credit can be given to Florida head coach Will Muschamp and his staff for making it a tough decision.
"Florida did a great job recruiting me and things went really well with them," said Davis. "I have a great relationship with everyone down there, but in the end UGA was just the better fit."
According to the tight end, once he visited Athens on Friday, his mind was all but made up that he wanted to attend UGA.
"When I visited Georgia, I knew that the facilities were better and the dorm was better," said Davis. "I felt comfortable there, and it was like a family for me. My family is only an hour away in Thomson, and there were just a lot of other pluses over the other schools."
The Georgia coaches also let Davis know that he will more than likely be the only tight end they take in this class, and the Bulldogs' numbers at his position is another big reason the Thomson standout chose UGA.
"The depth chart is another big plus because Georgia only has three tight ends and they tell me that I'll probably be the only one they take in this class," said Davis. "I feel like I can see the field early on and they don't have like five or six other guys at the position."
While Davis is a confident player on and off the field for the Thomson Bulldogs, he is also aware of the fact that he has work to do to get to the next level.
He also knows that he is willing to put in that work and is looking forward to improving.
"I feel like I block pretty well and I have a good idea about that part of the game," said Davis. "I need to put on weight and get bigger and stronger. That is one of the first things I want to do is eat more, lift more, and get stronger. I also want to work on my hands. Coach Lilly told me that I'll see more balls come my way at the college level than in high school and that my hands will get better with more reps. I'm not too worried about being able to put on weight either because Ty Smith was telling me that he has already added 10 pounds since being in Athens and he just got there this summer. All the tight ends told me it isn't something to be worried about because I will put it on fast."
Joining Georgia's 2013 recruiting class is undoubtedly news that will excite Georgia fans, but Davis also wants to let the fans know what he stands for as a person and a player.
"I'm a hard-working guy, I stay out of trouble, I do the right things, and I am going to be where I am supposed to be when I am supposed to be there," said Davis. "I love to work, and I'm excited about this opportunity."

The last three years have been quite scary for me as I relived many things that I thought I left behind in communist Romania when I decided to immigrate to the United States in 1978.
I have deja vus every day. I wake up wondering what freedoms have I lost today completely, have been curtailed, or are in the process of being curtailed through laws that none of the Congressmen who voted for them have read. How much closer am I today to living in a totalitarian society?
I wondered to myself, "What happened to the separation of powers" and to the famous American "checks and balances?" What happened to the rule of law and equal under the law that Americans were so famous for? People shrug their shoulders, give me puzzled looks and cannot answer my questions. Everybody is putting their hopes on November's mid-term election and its outcome. What if the election does not turn the way we hope it will? What then? Are we going to be content to live under communism? International law? One world government?
These third world countries running the United Nations who desire and push for such one world government can barely run their own countries without a hefty handout and financial support from the United States. They are corrupt, fraught with civil and religious wars. Are we going to trust our future and fortune to a corrupt world government that hates America and everything that we stand for, who is biting the hand that feeds them and protects them from wars, harm and natural disasters?
I used to think Romanians were so fortunate to not know how unfortunately poor and miserable they were in their daily lives. Now I think how unfortunate it is that Americans don't know how fortunate they are to live in the world's best country. The question I ponder is, are we going to be able to sustain our superpower status? Are we going to be able to keep our freedoms?
I don't take my freedoms as a naturalized American citizen for granted. I thank God every day that he gave me the opportunity to immigrate to this heaven called U.S.A. where I could become what I wanted if I was only willing to work hard, learn, and seize the opportunity to become a better person every day, unencumbered by total government control. "Carpe diem," said the Romans, "seize the day," I could do so because America had freedoms.
I am still in awe that I can make an appointment in a timely manner with a wonderfully trained doctor who cares and is willing to listen to my aches and pains, is bound by the Hippocratic Oath and values human life.
I can go to an Emergency Room anywhere in the country and I am treated within a reasonable amount of time even though I may or may not have insurance. There is an ambulance that will come if needed, even a helicopter.
Ambulances were a joke under communism. They came with no staff, no emergency equipment of any kind, and arrived not just hours later but days. There were drivers who would stop on the way to the hospital to pick up hitchhikers in order to make extra money. If the patient had days to live from God, he/she would survive through the medical neglect and potholes on the way to the hospital. Often the ambulance drove straight to the morgue.
I don't take for granted the fact the I Can buy drugs that can ease my pain, cure my illness, or treat my symptoms. I still remember the pain as a teenager having root canal without anesthesia, blood spilling everywhere, screams of pain, while the dentist talked to his nurse and spat in my mouth. After five months of such torture, the tooth was pulled anyway. The root canal cost me nothing, but I got nothing but pain and torture.
Drugs were free, sort of, but the pharmacy shelves were always empty. I could bribe the pharmacist or buy them on the black market, if I had enough money. Black market prices for drugs were high if the low wages were considered. The communist elites decided how much each profession could earn. Doctors, lawyers, teachers, professors, engineers made lower salaries than mechanics or miners. Farmers survived on next to nothing. Their lands had been confiscated and the communist co-operative decided how much grain they could get after they worked all year long, usually not very much.
Medical vaccinations in schools were done with the same three syringes and needles, boiled every morning in a rusty pan, not autoclaved. What saved me from Hepatitis and other blood born diseases what the fact that my last name started with A and therefore I was the first one to receive such injections.
Polyclinics and hospitals used the same boiling practices, washed and re-washed bandages, gauze, and cotton. Patients' families had to provide food, sheets, and nursing care to their sick ones while in the hospital. Doctors would send them on the black market to buy medicines in order to treat the patient as the hospital pharmacy had ran out of drugs and money to purchase them. Rationing was the way the communist government offered FREE care to everyone.
I have lost many family members to medical malpractice, lack of care, lack of drugs, gross medical negligence, and rationing of care based on age or lack of connections to the elites in power. People lingered for weeks in hospitals, ignored by medical staff, untreated, unfed, literally screaming in pain amidst wards of 30 beds lined up against the dirty walls, with no drugs available unless doctors and nurses were bribed.
We define civilization by our humanity. There was no humanity under communism. Life was worthless unless it was the life of those in power. A baby born with a slight handicap was left to die unattended and incinerated. Communists had no time or money for imperfect human beings, they were expendable. They also ignored and mistreated the elderly. It was a family's duty to care for the elderly.
Communism did not just fail socially and medically, they also failed economically. We always carried a shopping bag with us and lots of extra cash. There were no credit cards or checks. The one Central Bank did not allow checking accounts, only savings and withdrawals from savings. We had lots of cash on hand because we never knew when we might walk by a huge line, wrapping around for endless blocks, selling something. We never knew that the store was selling, but because the line was so huge, we knew, whatever it was, we needed it. There were chronic shortages of everything because planning was done centrally by the communist apparatchiks who pretended to know what economics was. Most of them were not educated at all, they were crass ideologues who carried the communist party line.
We were issued rationing coupons (looking like little stamps) for flour, cooking oil, sugar, butter, milk, and other staples. We could only eat vegetables and fruits in season. I will never forget my first trip to the American grocery store in January 1978! It was filled to the brim with every imaginable food that I had dreamed of when I was really hungry in Romania.
I remember being six years old and standing in line with my mom at 4 a.m. in frigid weather to buy one liter of milk, butter, and sour cream. Sometimes, when the store opened at 6 a.m., we were told that only 30 people in line would be lucky enough to buy that day because that is all the truck had brought in that morning. The rest of us had to go home empty-handed.
We did not buy milk to drink, we reserved it for babies, or for cooking. It was a luxury to have a hot cup of cocoa with milk. We could not even buy vitamins in order to supplement the lack of calcium in the diet. Vitamins were hard to find, only available if you got sick. Even then, the shelves were often empty.
The communist system failed us judicially. The justice system only favored the people in power, it was us, the proletariat, the unwashed masses, against the ruling communist elite. We had no due process, we were guilty until proven innocent. And the police was not there to protect us but to harass us.
The communist system did not allow us to pray to God, believe in God, own a Bible, or have Bible studies in the home. It was against the law! Only in marriage, baptism, and death were we allowed to go to church. Funeral homes did not exist so churches were the logical places for last rites.
Communists failed to recognize private ownership. Nobody was allowed to own anything in excess of what they made and people were encouraged to snitch on each other and even paid extra to do so. The population was tightly controlled economically. Freedom to move from job to job, from town to town was highly discouraged. Any citizen had to report within a week any move whether permanent or temporary. Foreign visitors were not allowed in a private home as they were considered potential spies and thus we would be collaborating with the enemy. Housing such foreigners would be punished by jail time.
Traveling was discouraged. If a visa was issued, few people could afford the travel expenses and the rest of the family was held hostage on the promise of jail time if their family member did not return from the trip. My dad was jailed and beaten up many times when my mom defected to the U.S. after a three month trip to visit me. He eventually succumbed to such a beating on May 12, 1989.
Communists confiscated our guns in the middle of the night under the guise of safety. They confiscated our land, paintings, furniture, cars, stores, money saved, gold, jewelry, anything of value under the guise of collectivization and fair distribution of wealth. People who had more accumulated wealth had to go to jail in addition to having their wealth confiscated because they were bourgeois. One of my uncles served 7 years in jail for having too many houses and a store. He survived the 7 years of hard labor but was very ill for many years afterwards from the lack of proper care and nutrition.
We had the right and obligation to vote but there was only one candidate on the ballot. They came and got us from home and watched over our shoulders while we filled the ballot. The voting records were always 100% for the communist party. Who wanted to go to jail?
Life was very hard, we had chronic shortages of electricity, water, and heat. Few people owned a TV or refrigerator. Our refrigerator was the window sill in winter time. Birds learned really fast and made frequent raids on our handy outdoor storage. If we needed 1 million pairs of black boots for winter, the centralized government, without any forethought, would deliver only 50,000 pairs of white boots and a battle and bribery would ensue over these boots. People were so demoralized, "they pretended to work and the government pretended to pay them."
That was the communist work ethic. A barter exchange of stolen goods from the work place developed as a tool of survival. A butcher shop worker would steal meat to trade for milk with the worker from the dairy.
I think I have made my point that communism is a disaster on every societal level and a failure in every country that has tried it. Even the few remaining communist countries are now beginning to move away from this failed model, yet the United States is charging full steam ahead in the direction of the proverbial iceberg that will sink the Titanic.
My question and challenge to you is, are we going to allow it to happen? Are we going to destroy our 235 year old republic, the most successful country on the planet on an empty promise from a didactic and ideological administration? What would our Founding Fathers say today? What would all the heroes say, who have sacrificed their lives so that we may live free? We owe it to our children and grandchildren to leave the republic better than we have found it, not worse.
My view of the world through personal experience, 30 years of teaching Economics and Foreign Languages, travel around Europe and North America, research, and living 20 years under totalitarian communism.

Why Has Communism Failed?

text: ESPN3 composed its love letter to Cam Newton today, with more than four hours of filming him walking around the field at Auburn's official pro day. Viewers were treated to Cam posing in backpack, Cam joking with teammates, Cam bending over to tie his shoes, Cam stretching his legs, and at the very end of it all, Cam throwing some passes. Under the gaze of an unknown number of HD cameras, he connected on 50 of 60 attempts in his drills — but a soft glow effect and a slow jam makes him look even better than that.

DIY Craft Hutch
Welcome to my new favorite spot in our house - my charming little corner of supplies and storage. It is filled with all of my entertaining essentials, linens, candles and the packaging supplies that I use for gifts. It sits right in my kitchen by a big window, where I used to keep my desk (as you might remember). I've dreamed about having a spot just like this for years... I had no idea that it was a weekend DIY project and $200 away from becoming a reality.
You might be wondering why I went to all of this trouble for a room that is going to be torn down in three weeks... Funny, Mike asked the same question. As I explained to him, I'll be taking this with us to our temporary home (more on that later...) while the new addition is being constructed. It will serve as my product "home base" for the store and will be a perfect spot for me to style my photos while we're away from our home. And then... it will be installed in our new mudroom/studio area in the new house. Win, win. When we install it in the mudroom, I'll be adding to it (I think) to make it a large counter area.
This peg board was a last minute addition - it used to be attached to our cabinetry and hold pot holders, but now it holds my current tea towel collection.
*To spare you from too many product links, I've included all products featured at the end of the post.
I used two unfinished cabinets from Home Depot (not sponsored) and screwed them together. Then I sanded and painted. It took all of an evening to do. More details and photos about the process at the end of the post.
I used the same Martha Stewart Living Bedford Antique Brass Pulls (from home depot) we used in our current kitchen and plan to use in the new kitchen.
You might recognize the wood top - it was on my old desk that sat in this same spot. More DIY details about how I refinished the top at the end of the post.
Why didn't I do this 2 years ago?! With very little storage in our kitchen, I had been keeping my platters, candles, packaging, etc. in the dingy basement. No more!
You can see the top is very distressed and worn - I like it that way. It came from my old desk that I bought in college for my first apartment. I've used it since then all through each new adventure and project. I'm glad to have reinvented it in a new way that I can still use.
I have all of my Wood Candle Holders lined up ready for my next table setting, Linen Tea Towels & Napkins in a basket so I can take them in and out easily without messing them up, Kraft Boxes for packaging cookies and Kraft Bags for last minute gifts.
I also keep a stash of Cello Bags, Labels and Tablets that are sold with my Le Pens (restocked today!).
I got this wooden organizer in the silverware organizing section - storing my Everyday Cards & Tags, Le Pens (added a new Brown color for Fall), Bakers Twine, Scissors & Everyday Tin Candle.
Ribbons, Taper Candles & Cotton and Jute Twine.
And, of course... all of my bakeware supplies.
And here is a look at the pulls - at only $4 each, they are the most affordable and beautiful brass pulls available.
The Butternut & Acorn Squash are doing a great job holding up the Creamware Platters.
Okay, so here is how I made it. It started at about 9pm at night. I bought two 18" unfinished cabinets from Home Depot. You could just buy one set that is 36", but I wanted to have half drawers and have cabinet, so this was my only option. For both, it was about $170.
I sanded, then painted them my favorite - Benjamin Moore Navajo White in Satin. It is the same color our cabinets will be in the new kitchen.
You can see how the paint really transformed them.
Then, I added the top.
I had recently damaged the finish, so I sanded the old finish down, then stained it with Special Walnut Minwax stain. I finished it with Tung Oil for a soft, matte luster.
Products Featured (and stored!) in my Craft Hutch :
Linen Tea Towels & Napkins
Wood Candle Holders
Kraft Boxes for packaging cookies
Cello Bags, Labels and
Tablets + LePens (restocked today!)
Everyday Cards & Tags
My Everyday Candle Tin
Taper Candles
Cotton and Jute Twine
Bakeware Supplies
Here is the Pinterest Strip for easy pinning.
Herringbone Throws. I should receive even more in 2 weeks or so.
Hope you have a great holiday weekend - ours is packed with visits from out of town friends, brunch at our house and date night for me and Mike tonight.
Happy Friday!

2011 has been a great year for conferences. I've attended more meetings this year than I have done in the past few years combined and it's all thanks to social media. Some of these meetings, I've been physically present at, but equally I've been able to take part virtually through using social media tools.
Not all of your target audience can physically attend your events – it might be logistically awkward for them, or work and family commitments may prevent them from going along. But that's no reason for them to miss out, nor is it a reason for you to miss their input. Here are two ways to bring your on and off-line supporters together at your next event.
1. Twitter
Set up a twitter hashtag for your event and encourage attendees to tweet live from the event. I see this working to great effect when I attend conferences – people love to tweet highlights of talks, photos of those present, the room, the speakers, everything they can. It creates a dynamic feel to your event. Your off-line audience get to follow along with the talks and the conversation and they can join in too by tweeting their own questions and comments (using the same hashtag). They can also join in at anytime online by doing a twitter hashtag search. Assign someone from your event management team to curate the twitter conversation using a tool such as storify, which makes no distinction between who is attending in-person and who is there virtually.
2. Live Streaming
Using UStream or another live streaming site you can stream your event live and even let off-line viewers take part with their questions and comments. At the recent Bloggers International forum which I took part in, the organisers used UStream to great effect. Also at this event, organisers ran spot prizes specifically for off-line viewers and those following along on Twitter. They were asked a question and tweeted their answer and the correct answer won a prize. This could easily be adapted for an online auction for your next charity fundraising event.
Do you attend events off-line? What works for you if you do? Can you suggest other ways of bringing on and off-line audiences together?
10 Social Media Conference Tips Every Business Needs To Grow

To start California Kings, spread cards face-down around a large cup. Draw in clockwise order. A "drink" is a normal sip.
Ace - Social - He/she who draws proposes a toast and everyone drinks.
2-6 - Black (Clubs & Spades) - Consume the card's value in drinks.
2-6 - Red (Hearts & Diamonds) - Give the card's value in drinks. The total may be split-up between multiple players.
7 - Waterfall - Everybody begins to chug. You can't stop until the person to your right has stopped. He/she who draws may stop first.
8 - Thumb Master - He/she who draws puts his/her thumb on the table. The last person to do so drinks.
9 - Rhyme - He/she who draws says a sentence. The person to his/her left must rhyme with the last word in the original sentence. This continues in clockwise order. Rhyming words may not be repeated. If you repeat a word or can't think of one, you drink.
10 - Category - He/she who draws thinks of a category, like "Simpsons Characters." Then, he/she says one, like "Homer." Then, the person to his/her left must think of another one, like "Bart." This continues in clockwise order. If you repeat an item or can't think of one, you drink.
Jack - Guys drink - A toast is often included.
Queen - Ladies drink - A toast is often included.
King - We don't call it "kings" for nothing. He/she who draws the first, second and third king pours some of his/her drink into the "large cup" and comes up with a rule that must be obeyed for the rest of the game, like "no showing your teeth" or "no saying 'drink,' 'drank' or 'drunk'." Anyone in violation of a rule drinks. He/she who draws the fourth king must POUND the contents of the "large cup." Drawing the fourth king marks the end of the game.
Note: Drawing the fourth king is a fate worse than death if there are a combination of beverages in the "large cup," like beer, wine cooler and vodka. In fact, some players insist that only beer be poured into the cup; but they don't have the love for the game.

Donna's Brownies (Fudgy Texture) With A Secret Ingredient (Beets)
These are surprisingly moist and fudgy in texture. No one will know what makes them so good. This makes a smaller batch than the recipe for the brownies with a cake-like texture.
1 can (15 ounces) beets, drained
2 eggs
2 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, optional
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 7 x 11 or 9 x 9 baking pan. Drain beets and place in a large food processor with the eggs. Process until smooth. In a small skillet, combine the baking chocolate and butter. Melt over very low heat.
Add to processor. Add all remaining ingredients except the chocolate chips and nuts. Process until very smooth. Stir in chips and nuts if desired. Pour into baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes or just until set in the middle. Do not over-bake.
Note: If you do not have a large food process, puree beets in a small food processor or in a blender with the eggs. Pour into a large bowl and add all remaining ingredients. Stir to mix well.

1st Gear: Developing the redesigned 2013 Dodge Viper SRT hasn't been easy. Ralph Gilles, who heads Chrysler Group's design organization and SRT, the automaker's performance group, says many suppliers said "thanks, but no thanks" when the automaker knocked on their doors. "It has been tough to get low-volume suppliers," Gilles says. "We have had a few hiccups here and there as we get suppliers. That type of fringe business has really dwindled. A lot of people are looking for big accounts now, but now that is behind us." During an interview last week at a Chrysler event, Gilles said the new Viper is on track, going well. The plan for the redesigned car is to continue Viper's niche role in the performance market.
2nd Gear: Bloomberg reports this morning that Japan's May domestic vehicle production fell 30.9% to 489,723 units, the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association said on its web site today. Exports fell 40.5% to 202,833 vehicles, it said.
3rd Gear: Aston Martin has finally secured the funds to start designing an all-new generation of sports cars for sale in 2015/16. Engineers are understood to have conceptualised the new family, which will replace the VH-platform Aston Martin DB9, Vantage and Rapide models that Aston first started selling in 2003. The detailed design and production engineering will get under way in early 2012. Funding for these vital new models was put in place last week when Aston announced that a £304 million bond was fully subscribed by global investors. "This will provide long-term financial stability for the next seven years and support Aston Martin's continued development," the firm said.
4th Gear: During an exclusive gathering at Lotus's HQ in Hethel, Norfolk, chief technical officer Wolf Zimmermann told Auto Express and other outlets of his plans to build a flagship Superleggera version of the next-generation Esprit — and here's a first look at it. Bosses held the meeting to face critics of the New Era plan, which in June 2010 revealed five new cars would be launched in five years. As well as confirming the flagship Esprit, Lotus unveiled plans for a city car called Ethos — to rival the Aston Martin Cygnet — plus the 2+2 Elite, four-door Eterne and the Elise Evolution. There was also news on the next Elan, which Lotus says it will put on hold until 2017, when it will replace the Evora. The range-topping Superleggera features an upgraded version of the firm's 562bhp 4.8-litre V8 engine. This generates maximum power of 612bhp at 9,000rpm. It will also get a special aluminium body that promises to be even stronger and lighter than the one in standard models. According to Zimmerman, the car will not simply be a stripped-out racer for the road, but a carefully designed evolution of the standard Esprit. In fact, the Superleggera will be the fourth model in the range, alongside the coupé, convertible and a glass-roofed Targa edition.
5th Gear: A 28-metre high Jaguar E-type sculpture has been unveiled as the centrepiece of this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed. The 150-ton sculpture is made of steel tubes, totaling half a kilometre in length. Much of the steel was donated by Tata Steel, which, like Jaguar, is a subsidiary of Tata. The 12mm thick steel tubes had originally been intended for use as gas pipelines.
6th Gear: Industry experts today said Michigan has the opportunity of a lifetime to regain its throne as the automotive capital of the world through the electric vehicle industry.
Dan Galves, a member of Deutsche Bank's Global Auto/Auto Parts equity research team, expects Michigan to account for 20 percent of all lithium-ion batteries made for the automotive industry by 2015.
"The U.S. has about 30 percent of that capacity and Michigan represents about two-thirds of that, so 20 percent of the world's capacity of lithium ion batteries we think will be in Michigan," he said today at a Detroit Economic Club meeting at the Renaissance Center in Detroit.

I am shocked, SHOCKED that the Bears are canning Lovie Smith.
I mean, it's the right thing to do of course, but I've been trained to expect the wrong.
I think because of how long it took to fire Jerry Angelo, who had his job maybe 25 years longer than he should have.
Strangely, I could hardly find anything but Anti-Lovie art in here, so here goes and not in any particular order:
Lovie losing to Detroit last year.
The Dunce Helmet, from um...well it could have been any number of games.
This one is from 2010 with Governor Rod, Jerry Angelo, and Jim Hendry.
This is from 2009, after the Bears give up over 500 yards and lost 10-36 to the Minnesota Vikings.
Just messing around.
Not so good at the end of last year.
Did you know that Lovie's sidekick Ron Turner almost became offensive coordinator for Stanford when Andrew Luck was there?
Lucky for Luck it didn't happen.
And finally, Caleb Hanie. How did Lovie think this guy was good enough to be in the NFL?

Troubled singer David Cassidy has spoken out from rehab, insisting he will "remain in treatment for as long as necessary".
The Partridge Family star entered an undisclosed facility last month in a bid to battle alcoholism, just days after he was arrested for driving while intoxicated, and now the 63-year-old former teen idol is opening up about his current troubles.
He tells Entertainment Tonight, "This has been a very difficult time for me battling this deadly disease, like millions of others in our country. I will remain in treatment for as long as necessary and I am getting the best care I can possibly get anywhere.
"I am working as hard as any human being to live a sober life. I am truly grateful to all of my friends and fans who have sent me thousands of letters and messages of support."
On Tuesday, Cassidy was charged with one count of driving under the influence of alcohol following an arrest in Los Angeles on 10 January, when he failed a sobriety test and was reportedly found to have a blood alcohol level of more than twice the legal limit.
The January arrest marked the third time Cassidy had been booked for drink driving offenses. In 2011, he pleaded no contest after he was arrested for driving while drunk in Florida, and last year, he failed a field sobriety test in New York, and was charged with a felony driving while intoxicated as a result of his previous arrest.

Storage apps keep Exchange running 24/7
E-mail has earned mission-critical status among enterprise applications, and reliable storage systems are the key to keeping it up and running. Storage managers need to understand Microsoft Exchange's unique requirements to ensure its high availability.
Microsoft Exchange has some unique requirements and quirks that storage managers will have to grapple with to ensure high availability of the e-mail service.
E-mail has shot up through the hierarchy of critical systems, from business critical to mission critical to absolutely essential. "E-mail today is as important as the telephone for business communications," says Mark Levitt, program vice president for collaborative computing and the enterprise workplace at IDC, Framingham, MA. Becky Swails, network engineer at Citgo Petroleum Corp. in Tulsa, OK, agrees: "When it comes to e-mail, we're like crack addicts."
In theory, high-availability e-mail is straightforward. "The solution requires redundant storage, redundant servers and automatic failover," says Levitt. From that standpoint, any disaster recovery strategy should do the trick. The catch is the speed of the recovery, as e-mail users have zero tolerance for downtime.
When it comes to high-availability e-mail, there are solutions to fit almost every need, budget and IT skill level. Options tend to be either server- or storage-based, according to Donna Scott, vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner Inc.'s offices in Virginia Beach, VA. These options include managed hosting, specialized e-mail appliances, local and remote replication software, continuous data protection (CDP), local and remote SAN-based replication, and server clustering. Each option has its advantages and disadvantages (see "High-availability options," at right).
Microsoft Corp. promotes active/active or active/ passive clustering as the answer for Exchange high availability. Many organizations, however, are discouraged by the cost and complexity of clustering Windows and Exchange. Exchange clustering isn't necessarily complicated when used in a two-node, active/passive configuration with the cluster restricted to one location. But it gets complicated when there are more than two nodes in the cluster, the clustering operates globally and you rely on automated failback.
|Lotus/Domino availability
Lotus/Domino, the other major enterprise e-mail application, minimizes e-mail availability problems by:
For example, the continuous allocation and release of various memory blocks within an Exchange process leads to virtual memory fragmentation. According to Microsoft, when virtual memory is available for a process but the virtual memory blocks aren't large enough, fragmentation occurs over time. Virtual memory issues are more prevalent in a clustered Exchange (2000 and 2003) configuration because these environments are typically used to scale Exchange to host thousands of users with multiple storage groups and messaging databases. In short, Exchange clusters aren't for the inexperienced.
Standard e-mail backup doesn't cut it. "There's a lot of data and it's changing rapidly," says Lee Benjamin, an analyst at Ferris Research in San Francisco. Just do the math: A company with 240 mailboxes and a 250MB quota will end up with a 60GB Exchange data store. Backing it up will take 3.5 hours; restoring it will take another 3.5 hours, calculates Keith McCall, chief technology officer at Azaleos Corp., a high-availability Exchange appliance provider in Redmond, WA.
"How many users will wait 3.5 hours for e-mail access?" he asks.
Further complicating matters is the way Exchange stores data. Referred to as the information store, there are two separate databases: one manages data in user mailboxes, while the other handles public folders. In addition, the two databases must work with the Exchange database engine, which handles disk storage and memory, and also manages the caching between disk and memory. IT managers complain in online postings that the Exchange information store is prone to corruption. Microsoft postings describe the many conditions under which the Exchange database may become corrupted, such as during virus scanning. Lotus/Domino is architected differently than Exchange and doesn't present the same problems (see "Lotus/Domino availability," this page).
High-availability solutions must take pains not to replicate any database corruption. "One of the things we liked about Teneros [an e-mail appliance from Teneros Inc., Mountain View, CA] is that it replicates object by object," says William Cumming, director of information technology at Strome Investment Management, a small investment firm in Santa Monica, CA. "That avoids corruption." Other approaches operate at the bit level, which can replicate corrupted data, although bit-level recovery can be much faster.
High availability can equal high cost
Like any other complex system, ensuring high availability for Exchange often doesn't come cheap. In general, redundancy forms the core of any high-availability product. As such, high availability essentially doubles the overall cost because there are two servers, two software licenses, two storage arrays and two communications links.
Citgo Petroleum figured it was looking at a minimum investment of $500,000 to completely replicate its Exchange environment for high availability. "Including all the hardware we would need--more disk, a new SAN--and SAN consulting, it would be at least a $500,000 project," estimates the firm's Swails.
Instead, the company opted for CA XOsoft's WANSyncHA (XOsoft was recently acquired by CA Inc.), which provides asynchronous replication and automatic failover for Exchange and other applications running on Windows servers. "XOsoft continuously replicates writes in small chunks," explains Swails. Citgo had to purchase an additional license of Exchange and added extra Windows servers, as well as some communications bandwidth (less than a T1 line). But the total cost was "less than 10% of the $500,000 we expected to pay," she reports.
Continuous protection for Exchange
The Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center (SKCC), a leading research organization in San Diego, employs approximately 150 scientists, staff and administrators who use Exchange extensively. For years, the organization relied on traditional block-level tape backups, either full or incremental, to ensure it could recover lost or corrupted Exchange e-mail.
"We never had a disaster, but I wasn't sure we could recover quickly using tape," says Jeff Wood, SKCC's former director of IT. The organization wanted to quickly recover anything from a single lost or corrupted message to the entire e-mail database.
Conventional high-availability solutions, such as those involving frequent replication, didn't appeal to SKCC. "They required redundant systems and involved a lot of steps, particularly if we needed to recover an individual message," recalls Wood. And its conventional backup system didn't really address the problem because any messages created since the last backup wouldn't be recoverable if the Exchange data store became corrupted.
The CDP approach of continuously journaling changes appealed to SKCC. "It was a simple concept. You captured all changes and could roll back to any point in time, almost like TiVo," says Wood, referring to the popular TV recording device. He also liked how CDP fit into SKCC's existing Exchange and backup infrastructure. The organization could have both tape and CDP, and the cost was right. Wood found CDP software products that SKCC could license for less than $10,000.
After evaluating Revivio Inc., TimeSpring Software Corp. and CA XOsoft products, SKCC opted for TimeSpring. "TimeSpring would let us run CDP on the same server we were running Exchange if we needed to," says Wood. He also liked the look and feel of the software. Since deploying the TimeSpring product, SKCC was able to meet a crucial grant deadline because it could quickly recover critical work in Exchange that had been corrupted.
Replication software
Host-based replication software has one key advantage: hardware independence. "We chose Neverfail [Group Ltd.] because it lets us use disparate hardware," says Todd Sons, director of information technology at Jackson Walker LLP, a law firm headquartered in Dallas. Neverfail for Microsoft Exchange replicates the law firm's Exchange data to a passive server and keeps the two servers synchronized. In the event the active Exchange server fails, Neverfail immediately fails over to the passive server. The cost was just $10,000 for two Neverfail licenses that Sons can run on any Windows-capable server.
Host-based replication like that provided by Neverfail not only replicates the data, but monitors Exchange and the physical server hardware, network and operating system. It will fail over automatically if it discovers a problem it can't fix. Jackson Walker's Sons, however, disabled the automatic failover.
"We're doing manual cut-over. I want to make the decision," he says. Because users generally work from the Exchange cache, most never realize when they fail over or switch back. Products from CA XOsoft, Double-Take Software, Mimosa Systems Inc. and SteelEye Technology Inc. provide similar high-availability capabilities.
Exchange e-mail appliances
E-mail appliances, which are managed by outside companies, are the latest high-availability Exchange options. The appliances monitor Exchange and capture data going into the data store. "It seemed like voodoo at first," says Strome Investment Management's Cumming, referring to the Teneros-managed appliance his company deployed. He plugged in the box, gave it an IP address and it synchronized itself with Exchange.
"We didn't need to provide any hardware or baby-sit it," reports Cumming. Failover and switchback are automatic. Strome Investment Management uses 70 mailboxes. Teneros charges $15,000 for a 250-user appliance and $25,000 for a 500-user appliance. The annual maintenance fee ranges from $3,000 to $6,000, depending on the capacity of the appliance.
Whereas Teneros focuses on the small business market (up to 500 mailboxes), Azaleos is geared to larger organizations. Like Teneros, Azaleos installs what it describes as a clustered appliance containing redundant servers and storage inside the user's data center. The Azaleos product scales to 2,500 users.
"We look at Azaleos as a way to outsource e-mail availability while keeping our data within our grasp," says Lee Hudson, director of IT at Zumiez Inc., a fashion retailer in Everett, WA. The appliance itself contains an active/passive Exchange cluster and a third server that handles Active Directory. Azaleos costs approximately $30,000 per appliance and $15,000 for onsite storage. Monitoring services are $7 per month per user, plus $4 per month per user for offsite disaster recovery. The total cost for 1,000 users comes to about $200,000, half of which is for services.
Regardless of what approach you take to high-availability e-mail, you will lose e-mail service eventually. But being able to restore e-mail service within an hour or less is, as the credit card ad says, priceless.

Hernandez due in court to seek dismissal of charge
FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) -- Lawyers for former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez are expected to ask a judge to dismiss the murder charge he faces in connection with last June's killing of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd.
Hernandez is also scheduled to be arraigned Monday on charges that he attacked a handcuffed inmate and threatened to kill a guard and his family while at the county jail in Dartmouth, where he has been held since his arrest in the Lloyd slaying in North Attleborough.
Hernandez's lawyers say the charges should be dismissed because prosecutors have failed to show probable cause that Hernandez killed Lloyd or even took part in the slaying.
Two Hernandez associates are also charged in the case.
Hernandez is also charged with killing two men in Boston in 2012.

Last week, I had some fun sharing a bunch of jokey dubstep videos inspired by the new trailer for Far Cry 3.
In doing so, I remembered how much I loved the music from Far Cry 2, and so I'm sharing some of it here. This music, composed by Marc Canham, stands apart from the usual action video game cliches, combining traditional African instruments, strings, drums, and vocals to create an iconic, distinctive sound.
The string and drum music that kicks in every time you're creeping around an outpost is one of my favorite bits of game music of all time, but the main theme (heard above), encapsulates everything I love about Canham's score.

Surreal!October 24th, MSG, first event at the garden since 9/11 (with the exception of the benefit concert). A setting for one of the greatest nights for New York EVER. The energy was unbelievable and the fans needed this show. We lined up for three days prior in anticipation. What occured upon show time is almost indescribable. The fans were full of life and the band exploded on stage with a passion and energy unrivaled. For me personally it was my first time ever at the front rail, which in itself makes it an amazing night, and to blow my mind Bono pulls me on stage during Stuck In A moment...indeed I was! In addition a friend I had made from the GA lines got pulled up as well and played guitar with the band. Thank you for this night, this tour and the past 30 years of music that has filled our lifes soundtrack.

As you probably might expect, the wife of "troubled" Devil Rays outfielder Elijah Dukes is filing for divorce. (This tends to happen when you send your wife's cell phones photos of guns.) She has come up with some not-really-all-that-surprising accusations.
Apparently, Dukes smokes weed every day — which, frankly, might not necessarily be a bad thing — and is doing steroids.
NiShea Dukes, testifying in divorce proceedings, accused her baseball-player husband of smoking marijuana daily and using steroids. Although steroids use remained in question at the end of the 2 1/2 -hour hearing Monday morning, Devil Rays outfielder Elijah Dukes did admit under oath that he smokes marijuana. Judge Kevin Carey ordered Dukes to take random drug tests for marijuana.
We find it amusing that Dukes is accused of using illegal drugs, having a chronic drinking problem and threatening to kill his wife ... and yet the fact that he might have used steroids is the most damning charge that could have been levied at him. You dead, dawg.

--Incorporation of the color blue. Could be any shade. Should consider a secondary color... possibly gold or silver.
--Logo could say "Wallace Pacific" or "Wallace Pacific Consulting". An alternate version could say "WPC"
--The logo could incorporate the words "Marketing", "Branding" and "Strategy". This is not required.
--The logo could potentially have a wave or something that resembles the ocean. I do like the San Diego Padres logo. It could also incorporate hills or a sun if you think it looks good. I'd rather not have a whale like the Pacific Life Insurance logo.
--Overall, I'd like the logo to reflect creativity, innovation, and perspective. We're a California company that offers West Coast thinking with quality results.
I think this is a pretty standard assignment. I look forward to seeing what you guys come up with. If this goes well, I may reach out to the winner for additional work.

At Home Beauty Salon in Alberton before I go into the points to help you choose your hairdresser, I should first outline the definition of what is a mobile hairdresser? A Mobile Wedding Hair Stylist is a hairdresser who usually works for his or herself visiting clients at their homes or place of work, or any other agreed venue and does not operate from a fixed hair salon or beauty shop.
Will Getting a Haircut Stop My Hair From Shedding?
1.When to consider using a mobile hairdresser. The services of a mobile hairstylist may often be required to be used at a home for a wedding when it may often be inconvenient for the bride to travel to a hair or beauty salon to have her hair and her make-up done, requiring her then to travel back to her home to put on her wedding gown. Instead, the hairdresser will travel to the bride's home in order to style the bride's hair for her special day. A Facial Service At Home hairstylist is often in demand for Care homes, hospitals, prisons, the armed forces, and in many other situations where individual attention is required.
Will Getting a Haircut Stop My Hair From Shedding?
4. Always Use a qualified hairdresser. As with Salon hairdressers, your mobile hairdresser should hold formal hairdressing qualifications. The UK national Vocational Qualification in Hairdressing (NVQ) is the only recognized qualification system, and more than 60% of mobile hairstylists are now trained to this standard. They should also hold professional indemnity insurance.
Your mobile hairdresser should be happy and prepared to recommend the perfect hairdos and often make-up to accentuate and compliment the individual looks of the customer, and offer suggestions on what hairstyle or make up should best suit the client.

It would be impossible to count how many times each summer a professional groomer is asked to shave a client's dog in an attempt to make it cooler. Here in rural Montana where the summers are scorching, I have had requests to shave almost every breed imaginable. It is a common misconception that all dogs would automatically be cooler if they had less hair.
First it is important to consider is what type of hair the dog has. All dogs can basically be divided into two groups. First we have those who need to have their cut on a regular basis, such as poodles, shih tzus, cocker spaniels, lhasa apsos, terriers, etc. Dogs in this group have hair that would continue growing longer and longer until it was cut. These breeds can be shaved with no problem. Taking off excess coat by shaving them down in hot weather will indeed make them more comfortable and cooler, and will not cause damage to the dog's coat. However, this is not the case with the second group.
This group of dogs consists of all the other breeds, longhaired or shorthaired, whose hair grows to one length only and then remains that length. These dogs typically shed much more than dogs in the first group. These include retrievers, pomeranians, great Pyranees, chow chows, pugs, German shepherds, huskies, and the list goes on and on. Their coats act as insulators against the elements, and should never be shaved. After all, do you take the insulation out of your home in the summer to make it cooler? Absolutely not, and the same goes for these dogs as well.
It is important to note that if you have a mixed breed dog, it can be difficult to determine which group the dog falls into. Most groomers can evaluate a dog's coat upon inspection to let you know which group the dog falls into, and what course of action to take, the risks involved, etc.
As a former professional groomer, I strongly feel that it is the groomer's responsibility to fully explain these things to clients wanting to have their dogs shaved. It is important to share knowledge with the clients to make the best decision possible for the pet in need of grooming.

Colts rookie Andrew Luck seems like the kind of quarterback who's not going to let a bad pass or a bad quarter or a bad game rattle him.
But he also showed there are a few things he has to work on in the Colts' 26-24 loss to Pittsburgh.
Luck has a degree of polish many passers do not have when they walk in the door. But he also hasn't seen the things he will see, and that was evident in the early going against the Steelers.
His second interception was off the hands of rookie wide receiver T.Y. Hilton, and obviously not his fault. The first, however, was all him. Luck zoomed in on his receiver, didn't drive off his back foot and it was picked off by Ike Taylor and returned for a touchdown.
It's the kind of pass he has to avoid making, as he doesn't have the kind of elite arm strength to get away with such mistakes. That's not to say he's noodle-armed. His arm is sufficient. Not great, but strong enough, and coupled with his smarts, should enable him to be quite good.
But he's young. The mistakes will happen.
But the fact he led touchdown drives after each of the picks shows he's got a little something about him. He was 8-of-9 for 96 yards passing after the second one. That's amnesia, and that's special for a kid his age.
Here are some other things we learned on Sunday Night Football.
1. The league can say whatever it wants about the quality of replacement officials.
But even if they're able to cram the rulebook the way I did for college exams and spit it back for the short term, there are important things they aren't proving able to do.
First and foremost is executing the player-safety function of the job.
When Colts wide receiver Austin Collie left the game in the first half after taking a shot to the head from linebacker Larry Foote, but that was the first. Cornerback Ike Taylor got him high as well. If it's a concussion, it's four in the last two years for Collie.
Those are the shots the real refs are now conditioned to be vigilant for, and the replacements aren't getting it done.
2. Everyone keeps saying they expect holdout wide receiver Mike Wallace to roll in any day now.
Maybe he should hurry, because the Steelers didn't exactly look like they missed him.
The Steelers have already given Antonio Brown a spite contract in Wallace's absence, then started funneling the ball his way.
Brown's 57-yard touchdown catch-and-run, on national television, is the kind of thing that could get Wallace packing a bag and heading to Pittsburgh sooner rather than later.
3. Veteran Colts wideout Reggie Wayne's going to move around more than he ever has this year, and he can still be a dangerous weapon.
It's just going to take some time getting used to watching him go in motion.
The Colts don't have the kind of protection and overall talent to go toe-to-toe with teams, so they're going to have to use personnel groups and formations to mix it up.
And if Wayne's willing to do stuff he's never had to do before, that's just part of the mix.
4. Speaking of that talent: Other than Wayne, the Colts receivers aren't much to look at. But their tight ends could be something.
In Coby Fleener and Dwayne Allen, they have a pair of players who could grow with Luck for years.
They're smart to give him safe options in the passing game since he doesn't have much on the outside.
5. Chuck Pagano's striking the right note with this whole "Build the Monster," thing he's selling, passing out shirts with the slogan and the Colts at the bottom of a power ranking.
NFL teams are so evenly clumped that you can get from bad to decent in a hurry. Usually if it was bad enough for a coaching change, the holdovers are disgruntled and looking for an attitude change too. Picking a fight with anyone (media, opponent, the man) is a sure way to rally the troops.
The Colts aren't going to the playoffs, but they could be better. Having an edge can be worth three or four wins.
6. Get well soon, Max Starks.
The Steelers need you.
Rookie left tackle Mike Adams might get ready at some point. That point is not now.
7. The Florio Research Network points out that Adam Vinatieri's 53-yard field goal before the half was a new Heinz Field record by a yard. The old mark of 52 was held by Jeff Reed.
8. Colts backup QB Drew Stanton now has more touchdowns this preseason than Jets quarterbacks Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow combined.
9. Sometimes it takes lower-case L luck. The Colts had a special teams meeting in the backfield, and the game-winning field goal by the Steelers still crept across. No real explanation, and the grin on Mike Tomlin's face said it all.

Daniel Radcliffe could be saying goodbye to Harry Potter with an award after he was nominated for a best actor gong for his role in the last instalment of the hit films.
The star, currently appearing in his first post-Potter role in The Woman In Black, is up against names including Daniel Craig, Ryan Gosling and Gary Oldman at this year's Jameson Empire Awards.
Other nominations see The Inbetweeners take on Woody Allen in the battle for best film and Olivia Colman nominated along with Oscar-winner Meryl Streep for best actress.
Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows - Part 2 and crime drama Drive dominate the awards, which will be held in central London on March 25, with five nominations each.
The Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes, Attack The Block, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo follow with nominations across four categories.
This year's awards, which are voted for by readers on Empire magazine's website, are being hosted by journalist Chris Hewitt and Lauren Laverne, who said she "couldn't be happier" to be doing it.
Empire's editor Mark Dinning said: "We're doing a lot of new things this year. We have new presenters. And new actual awards. But we'd also never dream of changing what makes the Jameson Empire Awards unique. These are the only movie awards voted for by the actual movie fans. These awards are voted from the heart. And that's what really matters."

Savannah is under siege.
For 20 years the minions of the Wyrm have threatened the Coastal Empire, checked only by the courage and cunning of the Shadow Lords. Every year, the septs of the Southern Protectorate send young warriors to aid in the defense and to prove their mettle in the pressure cooker of the port city.
It's not enough.

I took piano lessons for about five years, and really liked them. I only gave it up because I didn't like my teacher, and I had reached the point where they weren't so much lessons as her giving me new and increasingly difficult music. so I figured I could continue on my own just fine.
Then my parents sold the piano with the logic that since I wasn't taking lessons anymore, why keep that huge thing around. Needless to say, I was a bit disappointed, but not disappointed enough to pay them their asking price, and so the piano was taken away.
Throughout junior high and high school, I was in band (flute) and I had bought myself a recorder for those times when I wanted to mix it up at home. I never really wanted for pianos, they were always just around, and so I didn't mind too much that the parents had sold ours. I bought a guitar after quitting band, which I never learned to play, but still moved from apartment to apartment as it slowly became warped from improper storage.
Finally I realized a couple years ago, that I no longer know how to read music at all. Even though I can look at a piano, find C position and still play the song from my very first recital, if someone were to ask me if I could play piano, I'd be forced to say no. I never thought you could forget how to read music–it seemed as impossible as forgetting how to read words, but I guess if I didn't read daily, maybe that would fade away too. Also, as someone who has always secretly yearned to be a musician, you can see why this is problematic. Sure, plenty of rock stars don't know how to read music, but they do know how to play an instrument other than the flute (which I'm not sure I could still play and certainly don't want to find out). Lacking both of these skills is a huge setback, and I intend to rectify it.
I borrowed a few basic piano books from a friend, certain that once I got in front of a keyboard, all the knowledge would come flooding back. Turns out, not so much. I mean I can still play that recital song, but lacking a basic music chart, I'm left guessing which notes are which, and nothing I've produced so far sounds good at all. Also, I take umbrage with the fact that Alfred's Basic Piano insists on inserting a ton of unfamiliar songs. If I was attempting to play songs that I was already familiar with, I could learn the notes that way. Instead, I'm flying completely blind. Damn you, Alfred!
So, in my quest for hobbies, I've basically unearthed an old one, but I'm not down about it because this is going to leave me with a huge sense of accomplishment, and tangible results– for free. Plus, it might make me smarter. Remember all those Save the Music, Music=Brainpower commercials? I could always use more brainpower.
