Now introducing the Epic Music Mastery Game! A full fledged competition between yourself and other students where you can earn experience points, level up, win prizes, learn and advance your skills in the process!
Dear aspiring singers (pianists see below): I firmly believe that with the right training, anyone can sing! We all have the instrument built-in after all! Are you tone deaf? I can fix that. Crack on high notes? I can fix that. Nasal? Hoarse? Can't hold long notes? All of these are common vocal problems that can be easily be solved through guidance and practice. Trust me, no one ever regretted taking voice lessons!
For my piano friends: How often do you sit down at a piano and wish you could just place your hands on the piano and magically create beautiful music? Piano is a challenging skill, but certainly not impossible. Learning to play the piano, even if it's never mastered, is such an incredible joy. Learning piano helps you to improve so many other skills as well, such as singing, any other instrument, and even math!
About Me: After completing my Master of Music degree in Vocal Performance at North Park University in Chicago, I moved here to NYC in 2010 to pursue my loves of music, acting, and education. Currently, I work as a Teaching Artist through Wingspan Arts, act in short films, and sing in concerts, operas, and musical theater productions around the city. I have been teaching acting, modeling, voice, and piano to children and adults of all ages for the last seven years. My goal is to professionally fuse my passion for music, theater, and education while continuing to learn, grow, and share the beauty and magic of the arts with others.
In my free time I enjoy movies, Broadway shows, cooking, and exploring all the delicious wonders New York City has to offer! I miss Chicago pizza, but NYC sure knows its way around a cupcake!

I started my musical training as a pianist at YAMAHA institute at age 4 in Japan. I was selected to enter perfect pitch class. It was designated for students who have perfect pitch and potentials to be professional musicians.
I enjoyed playing piano and electric piano and won the 1st prize at Kitakantou Electric Piano Competition hosted by YAMAHA institute. Because of the intensive training, I have been accompanying my students' recitals and performance exams.
As much as I enjoyed playing piano, I discovered that I also love singing, so I started to take singing lessons and majored in vocal performance during my college days.
Since I have graduated, I have been performing opera professionally. Some of the roles that I have performed include Pamina in Mozart's Magic flute with Manhattan Opera Studio, Frasquita in Bizet's Carmen with One World Symphony, Zerlina in Mozart's Don Giovanni, Clorinda in Rossini's La Cenerentola with Capitol Heights Opera, Alice in Rossini's Le comte Ory with West Side Opera Society, Adele in J.Strauss's Die Fledermaus,Susanna in Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro with Opera Avanti, Gilda in Verdi's Rigoletto with Academie Internationale d'ete de Nice, Novice in Puccini's Suor Angelica with The Eastern Festival Opera and La Cercatoricia in Puccini's Suor Angelica and the first spirit in Mozart's Die Zauberfl�te with Opera Company of Brooklyn.
My media exposures include presenting myself as an aspiring opera singer on the website of Maybeline New York. My voice was featured for three short films for NEC computer company, Japan. I was selected as a finalist of Arkadi Foundation's Opera Idol Competition at Merkin Hall, Lincoln Center, New York City and interviewed by Jewish Weekly News Television as a featured finalist for The Arkadi Foundation Opera Idol Competition. I will sing as a Soprano Soloist of a film project TAKEABITE the Opera directed by Mr. David Antonio Cruz, November 2013 at El Museo Del Barrio, NYC.
My international credits include Academie Interanationale d'ete de Nice, France, Daniel Ferro Vocal Program in Chianti, Italy, International Vocal Arts Institute(IVAI)in Tel Aviv, Israel and Young Artist Concert Series in Japan. I was selected as a finalist of Hariclea Darcl�e International Voice Competition, Bralia, Romania in August 2012.
Besides being an opera singer, I have been teaching piano and voice for 9 years and would like to share my skills and experience with you. Since I perform often, I can coach you how to perform on stage in addition to building solid technique and languages. Also, I have taught various kinds of music, such as Rock, Broadway musicals, Pop music, so we can work on all kind of music.
I look forward to teaching you soon!

Guitar, Piano, Singing
Kathy believes that variety is the spice of not only life, but also music. Raised singing folk music with a musical family (think accordions, guitars and lots of vocal harmonies), she learned guitar and piano at an early age, but began singing even earlier.
Her quest to give the world the best her vocal cords could offer led her to obtain an undergraduate degree in vocal performance from the University of Nebraska (where she graduated honorable mention, named with the vocal department's Outstanding Senior in Music award, and also obtained a minor in theatre) and a master's degree in music from the Cleveland Institute of Music. Both of these degrees emphasized classical singing technique, and through this study Kathy gained a solid foundation for her musical craft.
Once out of school, Kathy then sought to begin creating HER music and HER sound, a challenge which continues to manifest itself even today in a variety of ways. Kathy is now a singer/songwriter and performs often with her own band in which she sings, plays guitar, writes her own songs and arranges them for intricate backup harmonies and multiple instrumentations. A variety of influences are apparent in her music, including the musical genres of folk, pop, jazz, and yes, even hip hop. She has recorded three albums of her music and all have been received to critical acclaim.
She sings as a professional cantor at St. John the Baptist Church in Manhattan, and teaches private voice, guitar and piano lessons throughout the city of New York. She served for a time as the general music teacher for St. Dominic's School in the Bronx, where she was responsible for Pre-K through 8th grade music classes, and, true to form, she is often called upon in a multitude of situations to perform in a variety of musical genres. She is always pleased with the ever-changing musical scenery around her.

Commission to consider Moore's request, term limit revisions
Date: December 7, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
The Longboat Key Town Commission at 7 p.m., tonight, will consider a request by Moore's Stone Crab Restaurant owner Alan Mooreregular meeting tonight to approve a Comprehensive Plan amendment and a request to change the zoning of the restaurant from commercial to residential.
The majority of the town's Planning and Zoning Board decided not to recommend Moore's request in October, sending the request forward to the commission without a recommendation.
If Moore can't get the Town Commission to approve his request, he says he won't be able to renegotiate double-digit interest rate loans that are coming due on his business next month. Moore said he still plans to operate the restaurant as is, but needs the zoning changed to keep his business afloat.
The commission also will consider a revised ordinance that would allow commissioners to serve three consecutive two-year terms as well as any additional time served as a partial term limit for being appointed.
Also at its meeting tonight at Town Hall, 501 Bay Isles Road, the commission will consider:
• Jan. 26 as the town's preliminary election date (if required) and March 16 as the general municipal election date.
• A request by the Sarasota County Supervisor of Elections Office to maintain Town Hall as a poling precinct for 2010.
Forwarding to its Monday, Jan. 4 regular meeting for second reading and public hearing:
• An ordinance that reconciles discrepancies in the town's water and wastewater charges.
• An ordinance that revises a category of the town's business tax receipt program to reduce the cost paid by individuals renting their boat slips.
• An ordinance that makes minor modifications to the town's telecommunications ordinance.
Two requests:
• By the Dry Dock Waterfront Grill and The Longboat Key Club and Resort's Harbourside Tennis Gardens. The Dry Dock is requesting a site plan amendment for additional outdoor seating and The Tennis Gardens is asking for a site plan amendment to allow for outdoor dining at the facility's snack bar/café during operating hours of the indoor dining facility.
• A resolution that would make the town an applicant in a submerged lands public easement that would allow The Longboat Key Moorings Marina to move forward with a small dredging project in the Bay Isles access channel.
• A resolution that will transfer $30,000 from the north end erosion control structure account to the North Shore Road sand fill project account. This resolution will allow the town to place 600 cubic yards of sand near the severely eroded North Shore Road public beach access point.

Atheists are a small minority in the U.S. Advocates of gun control might be a minority in America as well. In light of the recent shootings in Aurora I am curious as to how atheists in this network view the lack of gun restrictions. There are probably divergent views.
I have trouble believing that both presidential candidates are steering away from any call for reform after the horrific mass shooting. In my opinion it is insane to allow citizens access to assault weapons that can kill scores of people in a few minutes. It was even more shocking to hear on a news show that a family had to raise money to pay for the immense hospital bills for one of the victims while they were already crippled with medical bills from the mothers fight with breast cancer.
As a Canadian I came to stand with my U.S brothers for the reason rally and freedom from religion. I would be willing to come down to the capitol and march for two other important causes. Gun control and universal health care.
Growing up, my parents were friends with a couple a couple of villages away. We'd visit each other on weekends. Their mom and my mom are both high anxiety, but I'm a rebellious kid by nature, so I always scoffed at my mom. But the other mom's anxiety levels were sky high. She had two daughters, the eldest has become a nut case, the second one is a stereotypically normal human being.
We can only hope that your daughter is the kind of person who has the ability to resist parental fears.
There is another aspect of this issue that needs attention: the reluctance of people to get involved in a situation where foreknowledge could prevent a tragedy. I have a specific example in mind, but it suggests the broader context.
My youngest son lost a friend in a campus shooting exactly twenty years to the day before the shooting at Sandy Hook. In this case the college knew the shooter had weapons in his dorm room against their rules, but preferred not to invade his privacy. The campus mail room knew that he had received ammunition through the mail, but did not confiscate it or notify anyone. The resident assistant in the shooter's dorm was warned by friends that the shooter was after him and that he should leave campus for the weekend. He did, but told no one in authority. The shooter positioned himself so he had a bead on the library door and killed one faculty member and one student, my son's friend.
Stricter gun laws can help to reduce violence overall, but in individual instances there are often people aware that someone is becoming dangerous and there are authorities who can act. Our laws should protect those who give advanced warning. Often people with mental problems only hurt themselves, but you don't know that in advance and speaking up can make the difference between tragedy and tragedy averted.
Charles M. Blow has an op-ed piece in this morning's New York Times accompanied by a chart that shows clearly how exceptional the United States is among the high income countries of the world in its policies and their results. (Unfortunately the chart exceeds the size allowed here by quite a bit, but you can find it online at the NYTimes.) Blow summarizes the statistics in these words:
In the wake of the horrible school shooting in Connecticut and on the heels of politicians finally being smoked out into the open to talk seriously about sensible gun control policies, it's important that we understand just how anomalous America is on the issues of guns and violence among developed countries. This table shows how shamefully we measure up against other countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Among the O.E.C.D. countries that the World Bank groups as "high income," America has the highest gun homicide rate, the highest number of guns per capita and the highest rate of deaths due to assault. In fact, America has more homicides by gun than all of the other high-income O.E.C.D. countries combined.
It's just shameful.
[My emphasis]
Thanks for that info. Some interesting graphics here. also here. How do people get past, we have the most guns and the most gun-related murders. Coincidence? Of it's Americans that the gun owners are afraid of, since they consider Americans so violent?
I like the usefulness of the "Surging gun and ammo purchases", surging purchases yes, BUT look at the trend in crime over time I posted, during that very same period, crime was going down faster in the USA than Canada. Graphs that do not take trends over time are useless and cherry-pick data.
You seem to be equating the terms crime, homicide, and firearm homicide. See my reply above—your trend graph doesn't show what you think it does.
Dr. Clark,
I hope the measures you cited are not the only measures that lead you to conclude that the US of A is exceptional, anomalous, and unique among the world's high-, medium-, and low-income nations.
BTW, is not the phrase "sensible gun control" an overused cliche? It says as little about gun control as the House Republican term "spending cuts".
As the saying goes... Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn... how they're dying, only the total homicide rate is of interest to me. Looking at one one homicide style and closing our eyes to the other homicides is a wonderful form of cherry picking data for an ideological stance. The facts are that the total homicide rate is and has been for a long time, on the decrease, and all of the knee-jerking going right now on because of a couple of highly mediatised events is totally irrelevant to a rational assessment of facts. It depresses me that people who claim to have critical thinking do not see through this media hype.
I'm not confusing them at all. I think segregating them is an emotional shutting down of the brain's faculty of rational thinking.
I heard in the following in a humanist newsletter:
"Religious Right extremists such as Mike Huckabee and William J. Murray used the recent Sandy Hook Elementary tragedy to blame the violence on the lack of God and prayer in public schools."
Finally something everyone can agree on - Religion and prayer won't solve this problem.
Michael OL wrote:
However, I would argue that while any life lost to violence is regrettable, the percentages even in gun-happy America are astronomically small. That the rate is 10 in 100,000 or 1 in 100,000 is not a palpable difference for the "average" person who will never personally know any victim of gun violence.
--- --- ---
I know someone who tried to kill himself with a firearm (a roommate) and wrestled the gun away from him (a scariest thirty seconds of my life, and I was in the military).
Ten times is not a palpably small difference. It is the difference between 3,000 deaths per year (1:100 000), or the entire population of my rather rural Nebraska county, or 30,000 deaths per year (approximately 1/15th of the entire state of Wyoming). In other words, we can knock off all of Wyoming in fifteen years (barring no population growth).
30 000 is approximately the same as all drunk drive deaths in the USA every year, and drunk driving is entirely outlawed.
On the flip side, all Western democracies have much stricter gun laws than the USA, and a much lower death rate from guns.
From http://www.theegglestongroup.com/writing/deathstats/index.php (Eggleston Group, an insurance firm) Note firearm homicides are the seventh leading cause of death in the USA, and a significant portion of suicides are by firearm as well. Moreover, their death numbers by firearms are much higher than yours (and they are in the business of making money off death - they have to get the numbers right or they do not profit)
Real Time Estimate Top 7 Causes of Death Since 1 Jan, 2012 |
Cause | Annually | To Date |
Tobacco: | 529,000 | 520,622 |
Medical Errors: | 195,000 | 191,912 |
Alcohol Abuse: | 107,400 | 105,699 |
Vehicle Accidents: | 42,000 | 41,335 |

I remember the days when a smoker got indignant when asked politely to just blow their smoke in a different direction. Never thought I would see the Berlin wall fall, never thought that the "It's a free country" argument for smoking anywhere at anytime would lose it popularity.

I think Smooth Criminal is better
Smooth Criminal
I think Smooth Criminal is better
^^For me too!
^^ ^^ Same Here
I like Smooth Criminal more.
Smooth Criminal a better song and video in my opinion.
Thank you for everything Mr. Jackson.
Smooth Criminal all the way! He looks so sexy in the video (not that he doesn't in Thriller, but I'm a sucker for guys in suit and tie, especially when they can rock it so well and wear spats with the whole ensemble! ♥) Besides, the song gets stuck in your head so easily, which is why it's so memorable (and utterly annoying, for some. )
Thriller for me...Nothing will ever top it!
I prefer smooth criminal
Things will get better if you just Hold My Hand.
Nothing can come between us if you just Hold My Hand.
Smooth criminal can't lose... the complex instrumentation on it is fabulous. I still love Thriller but it just doesn't compare.
Smooth Criminal is better i think
Wow Thriller is getting it's ass kicked
Love SM better... Dont get me wrong, Thriller is amazing, but SM is sexier, and more elaborate.
Grief is love's unwillingness to let go
Tanomë nauvan illumë, Mike. Whatever happens...
I have to go with Smooth Criminal, too. I'm a huge horror fan and Thriller is awesome, but SM is just better. It's too cool for words. Plus, it has the lean. How can anything beat that?
Smooth Criminal!!
Michael Jackson 1958-Forever
Thank you for your amazing music, your amazing talent and your amazing performances.
You're in my heart forever...
I honestly believe if smooth criminal was thought to be the greatest video of all time by the masses, and Thriller didn't get much press, that poll would be the other way round.

George Stephenson was born in Wylam, Northumberland, 9.3 miles (15.0 km) west of Newcastle upon Tyne. He was the second child of Robert and Mabel Stephenson,[1] neither of whom could read or write. Robert was the fireman for Wylam Colliery pumping engine, earning a very low wage, so there was no money for schooling. At 17, Stephenson became an engineman at Water Row Pit in Newburn. George realised the value of education and paid to study at night school to learn reading, writing and arithmetic — he was illiterate until the age of 18. In 1801 he began work at Black Callerton Colliery as a 'brakesman', controlling the winding gear at the pit. In 1802 he married Frances Henderson and moved to Willington Quay, east of Newcastle. There he worked as a brakesman while they lived in one room of a cottage. George made shoes and mended clocks to supplement his income. |

Talking about Skoda's online booking engine for the new Octavia, Pawel Szuflak, Director, Sales and Marketing, Skoda Auto India said, "Online media is one of the most progressive mediums of communication attracting audience of all age groups.

Hello, I just received my prada frames by FedEx and they look FANTASTIC!!! Im very please with the overall service and product. Youve made me happy, happy, happy and Im a customer for life. LOL If I can share, Ive been trying unsuccessfully to get this frame for three months through my optometrist. The frame was ordered on five occasion. Every one came in damaged from the manufacture or where ever they were being shipped from. After the fifth time and $502.00 later, I canceled everything and requested my money back. First I was being told that I had to select another frame or have frame number six shipped. After getting into some heated conversations, need I say my refund was on the way back to me. However, I had to wait for a total of three weeks to received my refund. You know I no longer see that optometrist and will from now on get all of my eye glass frame needs met at your site. Ill be sure to tell everyone I know about you too. Im on my way to lenscrafters to get my prescription, bifocals and transitions put in. Thanks a million

James Kochalka '91 has been named Vermont's first cartoonist laureate
Posted 01.24.11 by mica communications

- MICA Honors
James Kochalka '91 (Mount Royal School of Art) has been named Vermont's first cartoonist laureate. Kochalka, who draws the autobiographical daily comic American Elf, will heighten the profile of cartooning in Vermont during his three-year term, which begins March 10.
"A cartoonist laureate is the kind of thinking outside-the-box that Vermont supports. Cartooning promotes literacy and literature, two things we can't have enough of," stated Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin.

College Facts & Figures
Request Information
Beverly, MA -- On September 4 Endicott College will begin its new academic year. For its twentieth consecutive year, the College has enrolled the largest class in its history. This year the College anticipates an enrollment of approximately 2,360 students in its traditional on campus undergraduate program. Approximately 2,000 will be in on campus housing and 52 students will study abroad in such countries as Australia, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Greece, India, Italy, New Zealand, Spain and Taiwan. New students include 710 students of whom 650 are freshmen. They represent 23 states and 14 countries. According to Tom Redman, Vice President of Admission and Financial Aid, "We have experienced another banner year in the Office of Admission! Of the 4,000 students who applied, 62% were offered admission. The new Class brings a wealth of talent and experience to campus as they have excelled academically, been active as student leaders and athletes, and participated in many valuable community service activities."
The doctoral program in Educational Leadership will enroll its first class and the Master degree in Homeland Security, one of only a few nationwide, will also enroll its first class in the fall. Through the Van Loan School of Graduate and Professional Studies, over 2600 students are enrolled at 29 Massachusetts sites and six international sites in certificate, associate, bachelor and doctoral degrees. Most recently Endicott opened a campus in Gloucester. At the undergraduate level, new majors in Hotel Management and Applied Mathematics will be offered. In the School of Communications concentrations in the areas of Digital Journalism, Marketing Communications and Media Studies are now majors. In the School of Visual and Performing Arts concentrations in Creative Arts Therapy and Studio Art are now majors. Education majors now have an option of pursuing a concentration in Autism and Applied Behavioral Analysis. New faculty have been hired to teach in the areas of Business, Hospitality, Criminal Justice, Interior Design, Sport Science, and Social Science.
According to President Richard E. Wylie, "Over the summer we have renovated and upgraded classrooms, offices, residence halls, and roadways. A new turf field replaces the baseball/field hockey field which is slated to open in late September. We have increased parking with two new lots that will accommodate over 300 cars. This should go a long way to eliminate the parking crunch for many years to come. A recently purchased house overlooking the campus will house 12 additional students. The new Life Sciences and Business building is taking shape. The foundation is in and the exterior walls are being constructed. This building will be ready for occupancy in fall 2013." The College recently celebrated Dr. Wylie's twenty-fifth anniversary at Endicott and recognized his accomplishments throughout the years. In addition, the College received one of its largest gifts from Walter Manninen of Rockport. Walter donated his renowned art collection consisting of more than 200 works by important American artists with connections to Cape Ann and Massachusetts including many pieces by acclaimed artist, Theresa Bernstein. His deferred gift, including the art collection, is valued in the millions of dollars. To honor Walter's vision, the College named the new art center the Walter J. Manninen Center for the Arts and endow a chair in the Fine Arts in his name.
As of today, over 500 preseason athletes, orientation leaders and resident assistants have arrived on campus; new students are slated to arrive on August 31 and returning students on September 3. Classes begin on September 4.

A list of 1295 usernames and clear text passwords for what appears to be Minecraft gaming accounts have been posted online.
Initial username checks suggest accounts in the list are valid and may be associated with migrated accounts.
Users migrated thier accounts to developer Mojang after the end of an extensive beta test in November last year. The immensely popular game has more than 10 million active gamers as of last month.
Potential attackers would need to know the email address of users to access their migrated accounts. That credential was not posted in the list.
The news comes on the heels of a since fixed vulnerability discovered this month which allowed attackers to log in to any migrated account.
Specifically, Joinserver.jsp accepted any session key, meaning attackers need only log into a migrated account, and use the key to access any other migrated account.
Sweden-based Mojang has been contacted for comment about the list. It remains unclear if the list of stolen credentials was linked to the recent vulnerability, or how many accounts were valid.
This story will be updated as more information comes to light. Readers are invited to comment below.

Cimatron is great software. Definately a step up from Surfcam. Great intelligent toolpaths. I highly recommend the switch.
We are thinking about switching from surfcam to cimatron for are programming and electrode extraction needs. We would like to hear some opinions from programmers that use cimatron. The demonstration we seen was very impressive but can it do what they clam. Thank in advance for your opinion.
Cimatron is great software. Definately a step up from Surfcam. Great intelligent toolpaths. I highly recommend the switch.
I highly recommend Cimatron. I used to use Mastercam and glad I made the switch. I just wish the translators for it were free.
i use cimatron for electrode design , i only use they electrode feature for very complex 3d electrodes , that i cant design miself .
it's the best cam i ever used,
i used mastercam for about 8 years, edgecam for 2 years, tried esprit for about 6 months,
ciamtron kicks their buttttt, once you use it you will start calling mastercam, mastercrash, hehehe,
you can do a program load it to the machine, start it and walk away, come back and it's all done exacly as you programed it, i love this cam,
Been using it for 8 years, used Camax and smartcam before. The best all around, good updates, phenominal support. Toolpaths are safe and efficient compared to the rest of the pack. Good investment. We do prototypes, injection molds and also use it for pruduction parts.
I've been using Cimatron since 1998. I've also used WorkNC and Powermill. All are great 3d programming platforms. I love Cimatron because it does 2d and 3d with ease. I know Powermill requires some extra steps to perform some simple 2d tasks. I haven't seen WorkNC for quite a few years, so I couldn't say.
I'm currently running programs created in Surfcam by others, (our programming department) and I am not impressed. Crashes happen frequently, toolpaths are not even close to what I could create with Cimatron. I suspeft some of the problems are with the programmers, though. I would highly recommend Cimatron.
İn my opinion Cimatron is very easy.I am a Cimatron user of five years.We use it Hot Forging Molds with3d surface machining. Only define surface and contours.It creates toolpaths in a few minutes.I recommend certainly.
I am also a reformed Mastercam user... Cimatron is awesome and would highly recommend it! I use the Mold design, Electrodes and NC modules. It really does a great job and is worth every penny.
Powerful in mold design, but too too expensive.
"too expensive"? Perhaps too expensive for signmaking but certainly not too expensive to use for building quality injection molds efficiently in the US.
