This article investigates and rules in the new Romanian Civil Code of the aspects of private international law on bills of exchange and promissory notes.

The institutionalization of this debt securities circulation represents one of the most important contributions of the commercial law to the progress of modern commercial activity. Keywords: bill of exchange, promissory note, drawer, drawee, issuer, acceptance. JEL Classification: K29 1. Introductory considerations One of the modern legal forms of goods' circulation is represented by the circulation of deeds (titles) that incorporate certain patrimonial values. These values are circulating following the transfer of the deeds that represent them, deeds like: shares and bonds issued by holding companies, drafts, promissory notes, consignment notes etc. The institutionalization of deeds' circulation represents one of the most important contributions of the commercial law to the progress of modern commercial activity. 2 For the denomination of the titles that incorporate certain patrimonial values it is used the general notion of debt securities or credit notes. The term of 1 Ileana Voica, Bucharest Academy of Economics Studies, Department of Law, firstname.lastname@example.com 2 D. Galasescu-Pyc, Bills of exchange and promissory notes, Vol. I, Bucharest, "Tiparul universitar" Publishing House, 1939, p. 2. 108 Volume 1, Issue 2, December 2011 Juridical Tribune debt securities is used in the Neo-Latin law. The notion of credit note is part of the German law. 3 The credit note, following the incorporation of the claim right in the instrument, becomes a value-paper, which can be an object of property and of legal operations. The purpose of claim is closely related with the document's existence. Unlike any other instrument with legal effects, the credit note is essential for the purpose of the claim incorporated in it. This cannot be transferred without title, the payment cannot be requested without presenting the title, from the legal perspective it is not possible any valuation of the debenture stock without the title and the claim cannot be amortized without the title transfer.4 Therefore, the credit note can be defined as an instrument based on which, its legal owner is entitled to exercise, on the settled date, the right specified in the instrument. The credit note has the following characteristics: a) The instrument has constitutive character, and the right incorporated into the title does not exist without the relevant instrument; b) The instrument has an official character, being mandatory to have a legal form; c) The instrument has a literal character, due to right's coverage and nature, and also the right's correlative obligation are exclusively determined by the mentions contained by the instrument; d) The instrument grants an autonomous right, because the right and correlative obligation determined by title, are independent towards the legal instruments from which there are determined (the fundamental legal relation), and in case of title transfer, the purchaser shall become the holder of an owned right, which is a new, original right, and not a right derived from the emitter's one. Based on their content, the credit note can be categorized as actual, representative and equity. The actual credit note, known as commercial effects, include the obligation to pay a certain amount of money or to give a quantity of goods determined by type or an amount of credit notes. Such securities are the bills of exchange, promissory notes, checks, bonds issued by companies, the insurance policy. The commercial effects fulfill the function of cash, as payment instrument. There are also credit notes because they grant to the owner the right to charge the amount shown in the document, and the debtor is entitled to due credit. As may be transmitted by means of commercial law, the commercial effects are considered negotiable securities. The representative titles are those that grant for the nominated owner a real right over a quantity of goods in storage or in progress of transportation. For example: the consignment note, bill, receipt of deposit, warranty. 3 S. D. Carpenaru, Roman Commercial Law, "Universul Juridic" Publishing House, Bucharest, 2007, p. 547. 4 R.

Juridical Tribune Volume 1, Issue 2, December 2011 109 The equity certifies only the quality as participant of a company and not a real right and does not constitutes a promise for future benefits. For example: shares in an anonymous company, participation in a company of people. 2. Bills of exchange The bill of exchange is widely used both in domestic and international commercial relations. It has been the object of a uniform legal regulation. In 1930, to Geneva, it was signed the Convention providing a uniform law for bills of exchange and promissory notes. Although Romania did not acceded to this Convention, most of the provisions of this uniform law were assumed by the Romanian law. Law no. 58/1934 on bills of exchange and promissory notes used as a model the Italian law on bills of exchange and promissory notes from 1933, which was based on the uniform law of bills of exchange and promissory notes. 5 By O.G. no. 11/1993, and also O.U.G. no. 39/2008, there were applied some modifications and amendments to Law no. 58/1934 on bills of exchange and promissory notes. The National Bank of Romania issued certain standard rules concerning the trade practiced by bank holding companies and other credit institutions with bills of exchange, promissory notes and checks, and also technical rules concerning the bills of exchange and promissory notes, according to the current international practices. It is about the Standard Rules no. 6/1994 and the Technical Rules no. 10/1994. Also, the National Bank regulated a computerized system with the purpose to strengthen the safety regarding the credit of bills of exchange, promissory notes and checks, by creating the Center for Payment Incidents (Regulation no. 1/2001). Although there is no legal definition, the bill of exchange was defined into the doctrine. The bill of exchange is an instrument by which a person, named drawer or issuer, assign another person, called drawee, to pay on the due term an amount of money to a third person, called beneficiary or to its order. The name of bill of exchange derives from the Italian word cambio, which means exchange. In the regulation of the Commercial Code, the bill of exchange was also called draft or commercial paper. Usually, the issuance of a bill of exchange has as base the existence of some previous legal relations between the interested parties, which have certain legal acts as fundament. Based on these legal relations, called fundamental relations, each person has the quality of creditor or debtor, within the legal 5 In regard to the origin of the bill of exchange and the legal evolution see D. Galasescu-Pyc, work cited, vol. I, p. 58-142, see also S. Cristea, The bill of exchange in comparative law, "Lumina Lex" Publishing House, Bucharest, 2001 and P.V. Patrascanu, Bill of exchange, promissory note, "All" Publishing House, Bucharest, 1994. 110 Volume 1, Issue 2, December 2011 Juridical Tribune relations they participate in. By issuing a bill of exchange and a payment there are executed the obligations of the pre-existent legal relations.6 In doctrine, the debt of the drawer towards the drawee, which justifies the issuance of the bill of exchange, is called provisions or guarantee, the beneficiary's debt towards drawer is called supplied value. We can observe that the issuance of the bill of exchange does not lead to the cancellation of the fundamental legal relations. These legal relations subsist, excepting the case when the parties agree for a substituted contract, meaning the termination of the old obligation from the fundamental relation and its substitution with a new obligation, determined by the exchange report (art. 64 from Law no. 58/1934).7 Being a credit instrument and, therefore, an official document, the bill of exchange has to contain certain essential mentions, and in their absence, the document does not to have the power of an instrument of credit valuing, as granted by law to this type of instrument. The essential mentions of the bill of exchange are: 1. the name of bill of exchange inserted into the title and expressed in the language used for its drafting; 2. the simple order, meaning the unconditioned order to be paid a certain amount of money; 3. the drawee's name; 4. specification regarding the payment date, meaning the due date; 5. the payment place; 6. the name of the person or upon whose order the payment has to be made; 7. the issuance place and date; 8. the drawer's signature. The order clause is the essence of the bill of exchange and, therefore, it is not necessary to be included into the title, as special mention. The instrument which lacks one of the essential mentions does not have the legal value of a bill of exchange. But this principle involve some excerptions: if the due date is not mentioned, the bill of exchange is legally deemed as payment on demand, if it is not specified the payment place, the law considers that the payment shall be made at the place mentioned near the drawee's name, if it is not specified the issuance place, the law considers that it is the place specified near the drawer's name. 6 In regard to the accommodation bill, see P. Demetrescu, Bill of exchange, promissory note, check, "Tiparul Romanesc" Publishing House, Bucharest, 1942, p. 35. 7 In regard to the exchange relation and the fundamental report, see M..N. Costin, V. Luha, The structural characteristics of the bill of exchange in "Revista de Drept Comercial" n. 4/1995, p. 44-46. Juridical Tribune Volume 1, Issue 2, December 2011 111 According to art. 8 from Emergency Order nr. 39/2008, any signature of the bill of exchange has to contain: a) In clear, the surname and name of the natural person or the name of the legal person or of the entity that undertakes; b) The holograph signature of the natural person, respectively of the duly representatives or assignees of the obliged legal persons, the representatives or assignees of other categories of entities that use this kind of instruments". In all legislations, the property of a bill of exchange, with all the rights incorporated in it, are transferable by endorsement. The endorsement is an exchange contract, concluded between a party called endorser, and another party called endorsee, based on which the property over the bill of exchange is transferred from the first one to the latter. This legal operation is executed by specifying in writing on the bill of exchange or on the document attached to it, the name of the endorsee, dated and signed by the endorser. The principle nobody can transfer more rights that he, himself, has is explained not only in case of restrained endorsement, but also for the cases when by endorsement it is transferred a bill of exchange that already reached its due date or which is not honored, and therefore the new endorsee receives a bill of exchange involved with all the legal liabilities. The endorsement is specific institution of the Bill of Exchange Law of the countries that adopted the Geneva uniform law. It is not known to the Anglo- American Law. The endorsement is the instrument based on which a person called guarantor, guarantees the payment of the bill of exchange towards a debtor, called guarantee. It can be a guarantor, a person who is not part of the bill of exchange or even a signatory of the bill of exchange. The guarantee can be the acceptor, drawer, endorser or even the guarantor. If into the bill of exchange it is not specified the person for whom it was granted the endorsement, it is deemed that it was granted for the drawer, who is the principal debtor. The endorsement is granted on the bill of exchange or on its attachment, being inserted the mention for endorsement or for guarantee, followed by the guarantor's signature. The endorsement can be granted for the whole amount from the bill of exchange or only for a part of it. The guarantor has the identical obligation, with the same content and the same coverage, as the guaranteed obligation. Therefore, the principle of non-opposability of exceptions is valid against guarantor, as it was valid also against the guaranteed debtor. In the same way, the principle of jointure of the debtors' bill of exchange is applicable also for the guarantor. The guarantor who pays the bill of exchange obtains all the rights determined by the bill of exchange, against guarantee, and also of the ones maintained by the latter, based on the bill of exchange. In regard of acceptance, we can say that the drawee is not part of the exchange instrument, although he has the drawer's order to pay. The drawee becomes exchange debtor by acceptance. Hence, the acceptance is the act based on which the drawee engages himself to pay the amount from the bill of exchange to the person who shall be its legal holder on the due term. By acceptance, the drawee 112 Volume 1, Issue 2, December 2011 Juridical Tribune becomes exchange obligor in a joint manner, along with the drawer, endorsers and guarantors. But while the drawee undertakes the obligation to pay, the others undertake the obligation to determine the payment, because they are held to pay only in case the drawee refuses the payment. The obligation undertaken by the drawee is literal, autonomous and abstract. The exceptions that can be opposed by the drawee towards drawer cannot be invoked against the other holders of the title. The presentation to acceptance is facultative. If the drawer inserts into the bill of exchange a clause by which it is imposed the obligation of presentation of the title's holder on acceptance, the absence of the title to acceptance, on the settled term, has as consequence the lapse of the holder in exercising the right of regress. But the holder of the bill of exchange shall maintain the rights determined by the bill of exchange. The bill of exchange with the due term on a certain date after demand, it has to be presented to acceptance, the specification of the due term being determined exactly by this presentation. The term of presentation is of one year after the issuance of the bill of exchange. The acceptance has to be dated. An acceptance without a date shall have legal effects, but only towards the drawee. The presentation of the bill of exchange on acceptance can be done at any moment until the due term. On the due term, the bill of exchange becomes exigible, and therefore it is possible only to demand the payment. According to the conditions of the uniform law from Geneva, the refuse of acceptance or of payment has to be recorded based on an official instrument – concluded by the notary – an instrument called protest. The protest's existence is indispensable, in order for the beneficiary to capitalize his rights obtained based on the bill of exchange and for exercising the action of regress. Nonetheless, the stipulation of clauses without protest or without expenses, recorded on the bill of exchange and signed, exonerate the legal holder of the bill of exchange in regard to the obligation to execute the protest. Waiving the protest operates in regard to all the signatory of the bill of exchange, if it is written by the drawer, or only in regard to the one who inserted it into the bill of exchange, if it is written by an endorser or guarantor. In all the laws regarding the bill of exchange, the protest, as authentic document, is subjected to certain formalities. Into the laws of the countries that adopted the Convention from Geneva for settling certain legal conflicts concerning the bill of exchange and promissory notes, the form and terms of protest, and also the form of other measures for the exercise and preservation of the rights concerning the bills of exchange and promissory notes are regulated by the laws of the country where the protest has to be addressed or the relevant measures that have to be applied. 8 8 For details concerning the legal system of the credit notes within the International Business Law see I. Rucareanu, B. Stefanescu, International Business Law, Didactic and Pedagogic Publishing House, Bucharest, 1983, p. 329-350. Juridical Tribune Volume 1, Issue 2, December 2011 113 Regarding the payment of the bill of exchange, art. 461 from the Emergency Order nr. 39/2008 provides: The presentation of the bill of exchange can be made in original or by truncation. In the meaning of this law, by truncation it is understood the informational procedure that contains the following successive operations: a) Transfer in electronic form of the relevant information from the original bill of exchange b) Reproduction of the original bill of exchange image in electronic form; and c) Transmission of the electronic information obtained by the operations provided to letter a) and b) towards the payer credit institution. There can be the object of truncation only the accepted bills of exchange. The submission for payment of a bill of exchange by truncation has the same legal effects like the submission for payment of the original bill of exchange, being provided that the latter one to be issued by respecting the legal provisions. Art. 463 from the same order provides that the total or partial refuse of paying a bill of exchange presented for payment, by truncation, shall be in electronic form, by the payer credit institution. If the drawee pays the amount stipulated in the bill, it frees all the exchange debtors. Drawee's refusal to pay determines the joint liability of all exchange debtors. If payment is made by a debtor of regress, like a guarantor, this payment releases only the persons obliged based on the bill, that are specified into the title after him, meaning the successive endorsers and their guarantors; the previously exchange debtors continue to be obliged and can be followed under the bill. The Geneva Uniform Law provides that the place of payment must be specified in the title. In the absence of such claims, the law presumes as place of payment, the location specified next to the drawee's name. If it is not mentioned into the bill the place of payment, following one of these two ways, it determines the nullity of the bill of exchange. The drawer can specify as payment place the residence of a third party. According to Geneva Uniform Law, the owner of the bill cannot refuse the partial payment. This does not terminate its exchange rights over the part of the amount that remained unpaid. The principle behind this solution that escape from the common law, where payment is indivisible, is that payment is relevant not only for the title holder, but also for the other signatories jointly held for payment and who have the interest, at least partially, to be freed. The Geneva Uniform Law distinguishes between the release of the drawer from the acceptance guarantee, on one side, and release from the payment guarantee, on the other side. The drawer can be released by the acceptance guarantee only by payment. But it is not allowed to be released from payment guarantee. Any contrary stipulation is considered by law as unwritten. 114 Volume 1, Issue 2, December 2011 Juridical Tribune 3. Promissory Note The promissory note is an endorsable title, formally and integrally, and includes the unconditional obligation undertaken by the issuer to pay in the beneficiary's favor. Generally, the promissory note follows the rules provided for the bill of exchange, and its regulation is in the same law that regulates the bill of exchange, namely Law no. 58/1934 on bills of exchange and promissory notes, and also into the standard rules no. 6/1994 and into the technical rules no. 10/1994 of B.N.R. But, unlike the bill of exchange, where there are three people involved (drawer, drawee and beneficiary), the promissory notes involve only two people: the issuer who undertakes to pay at maturity and the beneficiary. The essential terms that must be included in the promissory note, under the sanction of its ineffectiveness as promissory notes, are: 1. the name of promissory note, typed in the title text, in the language used for its conclusion; 2. the unconditioned promise to pay a certain amount of money on the due term; 3. the place where the payment has to be made; 4. the beneficiary's name to whom or upon who's order it has to be made the payment; 5. the date and place of issuance; 6. the issuer's signature. Since there is no drawee, it is not implied the aspect of acceptance and the promissory note payable at a certain time limit must be presented for the issuer's certificate, within the legal term of one year or within the term mutually agreed by parties. The issuer's refusal in regard of the approval shall be recorded based on a protest, whose date shall constitute the starting point of the demand term. In regard of endorsement, if it was not specified for who is issued, is considered to be granted for issuer. As art. 105 provides, the Promissory Note can be presented for payment by truncation, exactly like the bills of exchange, excepting the condition regarding the acceptance, the other condition settled for the bill of exchange having their effects to art. 461, 462 and 463, except the condition regarding the approval, provided to art. 461 paragraph 3, having all the effects that the law settles for the original Promissory Note. The differences between the bills of exchange and promissory notes are not derogated from the principles of the laws of bill of exchange, but only in regard of the adjustment to the own structure of the promissory note. Article 106 of Law 58/1934 on bills of exchange and promissory notes adopt a system of references to the rules applicable for active promissory notes, expressly indicating those legal provisions that are applicable to a promissory note insofar as they are not incompatible with its nature. Juridical Tribune Volume 1, Issue 2, December 2011 115 Therefore, there are contained into the presentation of this article, the provisions regarding: endorsement (art. 13-23); maturity (art. 36-40); action in exchange execution (art. 47); copies (art. 83 and 86); modifications (art. 88); prescription (art. 94); days of legal holidays (terms' calendar) and inadmissibility of the guarantee term (art. 95-98); subscription by applying the finger (art. 99); the action determined by enrichment without a fair cause (art. 65); annulment and replacement of title (art. 88-93). The applicability of the above provisions for the promissory notes is conditioned by their compatibility to the nature of promissory notes, and it makes reference to the conditioning of what constitutes the essential difference between the promissory note and bill of exchange, namely the absence of the drawee, as a third participant, as main debtor, to the issuance, circulation and execution of the bill of exchange. They are also applicable to promissory notes, without the need to consider whether they are compatible with the nature of the bill of exchange, the legal provisions regarding the bill of exchange on: the bill of exchange payable by a third (commission) or in other locality than the one of residence of the drawee ( art. 4 and 30); the interest stipulation (art. 3); the differences in indicating the payment amount (art.6); the effects of a signature subjected to the terms of art. 7; the effects of the signature of a person who acts without power of attorney or outside the limits of a power of attorney (art. 10); blank bill (art. 12). Summing up the two categories of references to legal texts that apply to promissory notes, we will notice that in art. 106, deemed declarative, there are missing provisions that would naturally be applicable also for the promissory notes. It is about the content of exchange signature (art. 8), the signature from the bill of exchange as representative, without authorization or exceeding the limits of the power of attorney (art. 9), liability for non-payment (Article 11 adapted). 9 As a corollary of the system of positive references, we admit that, per a contrario, there are not applicable for the promissory note a series of institutions specific for the bill of exchange, such as: the acceptance (art. 24-32), regress after partial acceptance (Art. 56) acceptance by intervention (art. 75-77), duplicates 9 R. Economu, Practical Manual about the Bill of Exchange Law, "Lumina Lex" Publishing House, 1996, Bucharest, p. 193. 116 Volume 1, Issue 2, December 2011 Juridical Tribune (art. 83-85) and bill of exchange with the claim assignment, deriving from the sale of goods towards the drawee (art. 100-103). The specific jurisprudence of the promissory specific is much poorer than the one concerning the bill of exchange. There shall be adequately applied the solutions issued by the law courts, in settling the applicability of the legal applicable texts for promissory notes. Here are two particular decisions on the promissory note: The first endorsement of a promissory note must be of the beneficiary, if he remained the owner of the promissory notes. The leaf signature of a person who is not part of the exchange relation does not constitute guarantee, nor an aval, if it does not have the mention for aval.10 For the promissory note where it is not specified the payment place shall be considered as payment place, the place of issuance, where it has to be addressed also the non-payment protest.11 4. Bill of exchange and the promissory note in the international private law The new Civil code in force from 1th of october 2011 settles these aspects in art. 2647 and subsequences, in this way: The person who, according to the national legislation, does not have the authority to engage itself by the bill of exchange, promissory note and cheque, undertakes although in a valid manner, through such title, if its signature was given in a state whose law considers the subscriber as being capable. The pledge assumed in regard to the bill of exchange, promissory note or cheque is subjected to the form conditions of the laws of the country where the pledge was subscribed. If the pledge is not valid, according to the legislation provided to art. (1), but is complying with the law of the state where it takes place the subscription of an ulterior pledge, the irregularity of form of the first pledge does not infirm the validity of the ulterior one. The pledge assumed in regard to the bill of exchange, promissory note or cheque is subjected to the form conditions of the laws of the country where the pledge was subscribed. If the pledge is not valid, according to the legislation provided to art. (1), but is complying with the law of the state where it takes place the subscription of an ulterior pledge, the irregularity of form of the first pledge does not infirm the validity of the ulterior one. The law of the state where it is payable the bill of exchange settles if the acceptation can be restrained from a part of the amount, and also if the holder of the title is or is not due to receive a partial payment. 10 Cas. III, 22 mai 1941, unpublished. 11 Cas. III, 4 November 1919, Buc. 1919, p. 365, Cas. III, 10 November 1926, Bul. 1926, p. 500. Juridical Tribune Volume 1, Issue 2, December 2011 117 The law of the state where the bill of exchange or the promissory note are payable determine the measures that could be applied in case of title loss or theft. 5. Conclusions The bill of exchange and the promissory note continue to be applied after 1990, being adopted by the market economy as extremely useful instruments. The rule from art. 3 of the Commercial Code, regarding the order in products or goods was already falling in desuetude before the enforcement of the new Civil Code, on October 1st 2011. The OUG no. 39/2008 for the amendment of Law no.58 / 1934 concerning the bill of exchange and the Governmental Order regulating the presentation of a bill of exchange for payment, show that it is possible to be made in original or by truncation (informational procedure), specifying that there can be the object of truncation, only the accepted bills of exchange. We appreciate that the regulation of the truncation procedure facilitates, starting with 2008, the presentation of the bills of exchange for payment. Also, we salute the regulation in the new Civil Code of the issues of international private law concerning the bills of exchange and promissory notes, with the abrogation of Law no. 105/1992 concerning the reports of international private law.

My musical career started at age 3 when my parents placed a pair of drum sticks in my hands. I started playing drums in church and then progressed to play in middle school where I was part of the jazz band and orchestra. With some very early lessons, I begin to blossom into a skillful drummer. I then continued to play in bands in high school and, in addition, became a member of the Milford Mill Academy Marching Band. In my sophomore year, I became the section leader of the drum line where I played & mastered the snare drum. I have 2 degrees in music theory from Deer Park Magnet school and Morgan State University. I have performed with many bands from all different musical genres such as gospel, funk, pop, jazz, blues, rock, Latin, reggae, and R&B. In 2004 I became the only drumming instructor at The Psalms of David School Of Music. In 2011 I started and became the principle of the New Antioch Baptist Church School of Music. I have recorded with a variety of musical artists and currently plays full time at the New Antioch Baptist Church of Randallstown. In 2012, I recorded my first DVD entitled, "Piper's Time 2 Groove". Throughout the last 24 years of my drumming career, I still have the passion and fun as if it were day 1. Within the last 14 years, I have taken that same passion for playing and have transferred that energy into all of my students. I welcome all students any age, any skill level. Hope to have you as a new student very soon!

My Background
I've been playing with classical ensembles and rock bands since 2001. Even though I started on classical trombone and rock guitar, I have come to expand my repertoire to a variety of instruments and genres. During my time in college I performed with the University choir, orchestra, and band. I also have organized, wrote/arranged for, and performed with a variety of bands in my home state of New Mexico, as well as Japan, and the San Francisco Bay Area.
Since 2006 I have been an active teacher. This profession has taken me everywhere from working with classical guitar classes in New Mexico high schools to Elementary students in Japan to a variety of private students of various musical instruments and genres everywhere I've been. Since relocating to the Bay Area in 2010, I've had the pleasure of working with lots of great students from kids to adults with a wide range of ambitions. More recently I've also started teaching online lessons via Skype and Google Helpouts with Take Lessons as well.
Philosophy of Learning
Lessons are generally in a relaxed setting and designed to work towards accomplishing student determined goals. While all students will study similar fundamentals regarding technique, theory, and performance, every lesson is as different as every person. What kind of music do you want to make? I'll tell you what you need to do to get there, and help you take the steps to achieve your aspirations.
I also love to help students put together a song, record, and produce it for them so that they can have a recording to share with their friends and family.
Lessons with small children are more focused on just having fun while developing a good musical foundation, but I prefer for them to have as much personal ownership of their lesson as possible like my older students as well.
I also hold events for all my students. (Check out our pictures and videos below!)
Younger students have the "Young Musicians Recital" every few months where individual students and band classes have a chance to perform and celebrate their accomplishments with friends and family.
Adult students have periodic events where they get a chance to get together and play music as well.
Aside from in-studio lessons, students also have the option to sign up for online lessons via Skype as well as do a drop-in lesson through Google Helpouts.
(*Online lessons offered during different times than in-studio lessons.)
*Unfortunately due to scheduling issues, I'm not currently accepting students for bi-weekly lessons. I can do regular weekly lessons, or occasional drop-in lessons, but bi-weekly appointments make it really hard for me to give the best scheduled times to my existing weekly students. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
My studio is equipped with:
*Multiple Music Stands
*P.A. System
*Vocal and instrument microphones
*Guitars, Basses, and a Banjo
*Two guitar amps and a bass amp
*Various percussion including a fully equipped drum set
*An electric piano console
*A Trombone, Cornet, and Flute
*An extensive physical and virtual music library
*A recording system that students are not only welcome to use but encouraged to
*HD Webcam and condenser microphone for high fidelity online lessons via Skype
Hello, I'm Thomas, but most people call me T. I started taking private drum lessons when I was 6 years old from Lucy Flohr. Ms. Lucy was one of the most influential and important people in my development not only as a drummer but in life as well (she's the lady in my profile picture). I met her at 6, and we're still friends 30 years later.
After Lucy I started lessons with professors at UNT (which in those days was NTSU). My glam band, Skin Deep, was getting major record deal offers, but it was 1992 when grunge took over. So under guidance of our attorney we didn't sign any offers. With my high hopes deflated and a musically defeated heart I had to make a change. So instead of going to UNT to study music which I had been being groomed to do, I chose to go to Austin and attend UT. I graduated from UT in 1997 with a degree in psychology and decided to move to Los Angeles to follow my dream. My band broke up about a month later, but I formed a new one (Milkweed, which morphed into a blue grass band after I left, now called River Rouge) and got an indy record deal. We released "Milkweed....For Breakfast" on my birthday in 2000, and we did lots of regional touring for the next 3 years. Then I moved back to Dallas and joined JackAcid. We released "Life Through a Crazy Straw" on another independent label and toured regionally for a few years. Next was Crossing Ellum, which was fronted by Matthew JC (Founder of Emmy winning Small Guy Music and Matthew JC and the All Stars). I spent several years playing with a heavy rock band named Social Jab that unfortunately ended before we released our CD titled S3V3N Years... I currently play in Marquis of Vaudeville.
I started teaching classmates in 7th grade and continued through high school. Then I took a hiatus from teaching with just a student here and there during college and my touring days. Now I'm back to teaching more than I'm playing, and I love it! I believe music is a phenomenal gift to us all in every facet, from listening, to learning, to creating, to performing, and it's an honor to be able to share my knowledge and experiences to help others learn to appreciate the blessing of music.
*** Lesson Details ***
My lessons are catered to each individual student. If you want to learn theory, we will start from the beginning. If you just want to learn how to play your favorite songs, then that's what you'll learn. Your personal goals for drumming determine how I teach you.
*** Studio Equipment ***
In-home music room w/ two drum kits (if needed) and seating for parents. Piano, guitars, bass, and recording equipment.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I will provide any manuscript paper necessary for first lesson, then I would expect students to purchase a blank manuscript book along with any books chosen to study.
*** Specialties ***
My lessons are catered to each student's goals.
I have experience with playing drums for over 15 years. I have been playing professionally and traveling with a band for over 8 years. I enjoy teaching to beginner drummers who want to learn how to play a drum set. I also can teach more intermediate and advanced drummers who are looking to play in a band for live shows or recording in a studio.
*** Studio Equipment ***
I have 2 full drum sets available.
*** Travel Equipment ***
Will travel with snare drum and possibly full drum set.

*** Lesson Details ***
My interest as instructor is to always give the best lessons possible. In order to achieve this, "attendance" is a very important part of attaining this goal.
Lessons will "not" be pro-rated in cost due to students' absence for any reason (except family emergency). If instructor is unable to arrive for lesson, then adjustments will be applied.
"No long term contract" ...however, a "2 week notice" is required prior to "final lesson" when stopping lessons without additional charge.
If local roads are impassable due to severe weather conditions, lessons will be conducted over Phone or Skype during same scheduled lesson time on day in question.

Children of narcissists are in many ways psychological orphans. No one has perfect parents; they all make mistakes and plenty of them. The children of narcissists suffer in a specific way. The narcissistic parent(s) rules the house and control every member of the family obsessively. The narcissistic parent rewards the child who is attractive, bright, talented in the arts or sports and derides, criticizes and humiliates the others. The chosen child is treated as a special possession who will add to the narcissistic parent's need for ego supplies: praise, adulation, perfection. The special child who becomes a narcissist may be treated like royalty but in the end he or she is a false self who causes horrendous pain to all of those who share their lives. Even budding narcissists don't have natural childhoods since they are being molded into the image that the parent foresees and demands. The budding narcissist becomes untrue to himself and even though he or she may rise to great heights of power and material acquisition, this individual unconsciously feels completely empty and worthless and spends his or her days making others feel miserable and causing deep psychological pain.
The discarded child of the narcissist is left alone emotionally to fend for himself or herself. He is scapegoated and constantly compared with the chosen, elevated sibling. He or she is made to feel ashamed for not being good enough, bright enough, attractive enough, unvalued, unnoticed, unimportant. Often the discarded child grows up too fast in order to escape the imprisonment of the narcissistic household. He or she often hides in his room, in libraries, at friend's houses. Others find outlets for their pain through various addictions and acting out behaviors: alcohol, drugs, early sexual activity, teenage pregnancy.
There is no joy to be found as the child of a narcissistic parent. Everything revolves around them. Some children become their servants, always hoping to catch some tiny bouquet of love that is thrown their way---always chasing after it, wishing that this time mom or dad will be different, warm, receptive, attuned, affectionate. But this time never comes and children of narcissists become adults who carry the psychological burdens and emotional pain of not having a real childhood--a time for spaciousness of mind, reverie, creative play, being lovingly heard, talking about their dreams and visions of the future, laughter that comes from a sense of security and feeling that life is good.
We cannot undo our childhoods but we can rediscover and celebrate the child within us and nurture this little one with deep understanding and affection. We can expand our consciousness and propel our creativity and find deep inner peace and an acceptance of ourselves and, yes, love for who we are becoming as unique individuals, striving toward the light of wholeness.

Drying Electronics
It isn't too difficult to accidentally drop a small piece of electronics in the drink. This could of course be a cellphone, but there are plenty of other small devices that could find themselves flooded as well. Here's a suggestion about how to handle this little emergency. 1. Take the battery out. 2. If there is a SIM card, take that out as well. 3. Wipe all the moisture off of the outside of the device. 4. Place the device (and battery) in a small container of uncooked rice. Snap on the lid. 5. Take the device out the following day and try it out. Good luck and try not to do that again.

Holland-based Pro Edge Lawn Care has acquired the exclusive LandOpt license rights in the Toledo market.
Pittsburgh – There are now four Powered by LandOpt Contractors in the state of Ohio. Holland-based Pro Edge Lawn Care has joined the LandOpt Contractor Network.
Established by owner Tony Szczechowski in 2000, Pro Edge provides maintenance services for both commercial and residential customers that include mowing, pruning, mulch, bed maintenance, and spring/fall clean ups as well as snow removal.
Pursuit of structure and accountability within his growing business is what led Szczechowski to learn more about the LandOpt System. "Defining roles, creating a detailed financial plan and adding systems are just part of what will contribute to our continued growth and ultimately, our success," the owner noted.
Following on the heels of Cincinnati-based Allison Landscaping, Pro Edge is the second Ohio contractor that LandOpt has added this year. They join veteran LandOpt Network companies – ProScape Lawn & Landscape, Marion; and American Beauty Landscaping, Boardman – in rounding out LandOpt's presence in the state.
According to LandOpt President & CEO Tim Smith, Ohio is not the only state within the Network with multiple contractor locations. In fact, density within a state has many advantages for both the landscape contractor and its customers. "Certainly the power of the Network is heightened when there are peers who are in such close proximity. It's easier for business owners and team members to interact and visit one another. They find great value in combining forces to maximize their presence at state and regional events and, within their respective state or region, customers come to understand the value in the LandOpt brand and can easily find a local qualified contractor on whom they can rely," Smith said. "As our Network grows, so, too, will recognition and the associated value of the LandOpt brand."
Lawn & Landscape and PLANET will bring you a virtual conference aimed at helping you hit that magic number.

Planting Flowers
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 04-07-2003 - 10:51am
This is my first post to the boards :) I am a relatively new home owner and need some serious help with my gardening skills. I planted bulbs in the fall but now I am wondering about annual flowers? What is good for a semi-sunny locations (front of the house)? I was at the nursery this weekend and totally lost! Any expert advice is most welcome.
|Tue, 04-08-2003 - 7:56am
Then, Please let me know if you are interested in annuals...(new plants every year), perrenials...(plants that come back on their own, or can hold up during most winters even), shrubbery/trees for color, flowering, leaf texture and color, and such.
So, the best place to start is for you to answer the above. As for part shaded areas, there are so many plants than can be used, but how much money or work you are willing to put into that area either as a one time deal, or yearly....I will need more information from you. You can also stop by our chat later this morning at 11AM, E.S.T. and chat it up with others and me about these issues.
|Tue, 04-08-2003 - 2:56pm
Thank you for the gardening tips...I live in Chicago, Illinois or a suburb outside of the city. The front of my house gets direct sun for probably half of the day. I don't have a very big space or very much money to spend. I already planted tulip bulbs but I am wondering what I can plant this Spring that will last all summer long. We can get really hot summers (usually July & August). Any suggestions are most welcome :)
|Wed, 04-09-2003 - 2:26pm
Side note....the lambs ears with their silvery/green, soft textured leaves will stay to a point of green throughout the year in your area. Be prepared to use a saw to cut back excessive growth, by cutting through from top through new root growth each year. You can use these cut offs to add borders in other areas too...it is a very hardy plant. The impatiens will give you flowers throught the year until the first good hard frost, then can be pulled out, and planted new ones next late April for another year of blooms.
You asked for easy care,,,,this combination will last best with least total cost not just this year, but for years to come. with little attention except in case of severe droubt, where the impatiens may die off if not kept with some water.
I hope this is easy enough for you for starters, but I still preffer for my own yard to use the soil mixture by my own hand.....cheating costs a bit more, but doesn't take as long to work in....Please make sure you use natural product mulch around your plants, and they will almost take care of themselves.

If you want full ground cover that you can walk on, there just aren't any plants that can be walked on...If on the other hand you are looking for something to go beside walkways, there are several low growing hedge type evergreens and even some that have yellow in their leaves that grow slow enough that you can trim them once a year, and have good growth, color, but no flowers. For flowering type plants that will come back year after year, you can't go wrong with the variety of hostas with their multiple drifts of yellows, whites, and shadings within their green leaves, putting out tiny flowers onto a single stalk year after year. For real low growth, quick growing, won't loose it's color over the years, but a bit agressive, you can use lambs ears. Shucks I had a couple that got large enough to get onto my sidewalk, but people stepping on them over the winter on just one area didn't harm the plant, and they stayed green even through the snows. Now, in your local nurseries, there are a few tender looking ground covers with multiple purple to white flowers (albeit small sized) that are specifically used as ground covers. They will seem to die back during the winters, but will come back in the spring like a blanket of light green with those tiny flowers.
Another wonderful ground cover is (several varieties of ivy) that you can get in multi colored leaves. NOW...a very agressive ground cover that gives a very deep green and lush look, but must be mowed along with your grass....mint...I have some as a boarder along one of my beds, allowing it to spread into the lawn that's made up of peppermint, and (chocolate mint)...yep...it has a smell of chocolate mint in it. I would be the first one though to recommend you plant such in elongated containers, and trim it through the year with scisors, and throw the plant stalks away from where you don't want them, or into the garbage. Mint grows from almost nothing into a field full of wonderful smelling when cut with a mower ground cover....smells great, but is extremely agressive in growth habits. It also takes the least care in starting though, as shucks you don't even have to prepare a great soil mix. I've seen it growing in soil that seemed over 90 percent stone to soil made up of 100 percent clay, to the best soil mixtures made up by man.
If you can tell me more about what type of ground cover....flowering or for greenery itself, I will attempt to guide you through soil prep and best for your area.
One trick...I mix the lambs ears with vinca and impatiens...yep, the impatiens have to be replanted each spring, but will give you color, butterfly and hummingbird watching time, and is easy care through the season. Neither the lambs ears or impatiens take much tending to other than in the spring, where I cut back the lambs ears with a hand saw into managable shape...It does grow pretty quickly, but anything you cut off can be re-planted in new areas, given away, or thrown away, and the impatiens come up after the first killing freeze, and can be planted again by early May in your area.
As for moving tulips: you will need to wait until after the leaves turn brown, and the temperatures drop to nightly ones around 40 degrees and lower again in the fall, simply dig them up, and put them in other locations. You could remove them as soon as the leaves turn brown, and store them in dark dry locations in a box filled with peat moss to help dry them up until fall, but your success rate may suffer for new gardeners....It's just easier to dig them up just in time to put them back into their new homes.
|Thu, 04-10-2003 - 2:22pm
Your are the best! Thank you for all of the great advice, I am gonna plant impatients galore. One question though...you said you can plant them and then pull them up after the first frost? So you can't leave them there over the winter and just replant more in the spring? You are the expert so I will take your advice.
Thank you!
|Thu, 04-10-2003 - 8:08pm
|Fri, 04-11-2003 - 9:06am
Those in Zones 5 and up....shucks they may get temperatures that will allow the impatiens to bloom clear into early spring next year even, but they will die out, and have to be re-planted. Even then, if you pull up the plants, and put in new ones you will have more room for the new roots to grow in, and not get any (surprises) from allowing the old ones to stay in the ground. It's always best to pull annuals out before planting in new ones.
|Fri, 04-11-2003 - 11:50am
Thank you for all the great tips you seem to be a real pro. I am gonna get some impatients and plant them for the spring. I have one more question for you. My husband and I planted some small bushes in our yard last summer. They all survived the harsh winter and look great, except one little evergreen bush that looks like it has died. What is the best way to handle a dead bush? Should we take it out and replant another one? I planted the same bush about 3 feet away from this one and it is thriving. Is it possible the one we planted last year was a "dud?" Or should we consider a different plant at this location? Appreciate all the help!
|Fri, 04-11-2003 - 1:37pm
You can then simply dig the hole a bit bigger in diameter, get fresh soil (just in case there was something within the roots of the dead one) Make sure also that you get out all the old planting materials that came with that plant too, and plant in a new shrub where that one was. You will need to do this within the next few weeks in order to give the new plant the best chance at a good start.
Now: make sure that as you put in the new plant, fill around it about 1/3 up, water very heavily, fill another 1/3, and water well again, and one more time, fill, and water, this time, work a stick around the (very wet) soil to make sure there are no air pockets down there. Now you can check the level, making sure the total soil height is NOT higher than the soil that came with the plant, then work the soil so that it's a bit lower at the outside area to form a (well) for watering through the year. You can let this all set up for a day, then put down your mulch, not disturbing that well you worked in.
One more note: This for everyone who reads this too....DO NOT use evergreen type mulch around evergreen shrubbery!!! This means, no pine bark nuggets, or shredded pine or cedar chips. Use either hardwood chips or cypress instead. The cypress is a bit better for insect control than hardwood, as termites and ants aren't very fond of it.

In 1992, the NFL released the list of five areas open to a potential NFL team: Baltimore, Maryland, St. Louis, Missouri, Memphis, Tennessee, Jacksonville, Florida, and the Carolinas, represented by Charlotte. After the vote was delayed because of a dispute between the players and the league, the race began again in 1993. In June of that year, Richardson Sports announced that they would finance the stadium through the sale of Permanent Seat Licenses, club seats, and luxury boxes.
In a stunning show of fan support, all seats were sold out by the end of the first day. The feasibility of the team was no longer a question, but it was still up to the league to decide where the team would go. On October 26, 1993, the league announced that the owners had unanimously voted for the Carolinas to receive the 29th franchise, the first new NFL team since 1976 (Jacksonville was the other city).Fans all over the region celebrated with fireworks.
In a memorable moment during the expansion announcement conference, Richardson spoke directly into the camera to thank the 40,000 people who had purchased the PSLs and allowing the stadium to be built without a burden to the taxpayers. Even though St. Louis and Baltimore lost out on their expansion bids, they eventually acquired new teams: the Los Angeles Rams moved to St. Louis in 1995. And as the result of the 1996 Cleveland Browns relocation controversy, the Baltimore Ravens were established by the league as technically a new expansion team.
