About Benjamin
*** Lesson Details ***
I'm a very laid back guy but I take my playing seriously. music is my life and there's nothing I enjoy sharing and expressing more. I learned to love playing guitar when I was 12 from the coolest guitar teacher ever. he had a vibe that i gravitated toward and encouraged me in just the right ways to get me believing in myself. I try to encourage my students the same way. music should be fun above all and sculpt my lessons to each students individual needs so that they are better equipped to succeed.

About Pete A.Close

Learning how to play the acoustic guitar involves specific technique and a direct mindset. Both hands need to be specially treated, especially the right hand for strumming and fingerpicking. I teach acoustic guitar at all levels, from the casual weekend folk song strummer to the dedicated quick picking professional.
About Pete
In 2011, I successfully obtained my master's degree in Jazz Studies from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. The master's program was an intense submersion in music performance that shaped me into the musician that I am today. I was lucky to study with Don Glanden, Mike Kennedy, and Kevin Hanson.
I am also well versed in computer recording software and DAWs. I teach students how to use software programs such as Logic and Reason as well as notation software like Sibelius and Finale. With some basic training in these programs, I can teach a student how to effectively record and produce professional quality recordings so that a student can write, record, and produce their own music.
*** Lesson Details ***
Because I've studied with some legendary teachers who have taught some legendary students (like John Mayer), I'm able to pass on to my students the same knowledge that these incredible teachers passed on to me. I guarantee that I will be unlike any guitar teacher that you've had before. Along with instrumental training, I offer extensive lessons in music theory and ear training. My family is full of educators and I've experienced the teacher-student relationship from a young age. I am fully committed to developing lesson plans based on the route that a student wants to take, whether it's just learning the basics and playing along to your favorite songs or engaging in serious study and preparing for college auditions. I am available to teach at any location within the Philadelphia area.
*** Stylistic Focus ***
I specialize in jazz and blues. At Berklee, I was able to take instrumental labs that spent an entire semester focusing on the playing style of certain guitarists. I've taken the Wes Montgomery lab, the Pat Martino lab, the Jimi Hendrix lab, the John Scofield lab, and the Stevie Ray Vaughan lab.

About Lenny R.Close
I have spent the past 12 years of my life dedicated to the guitar. While obtaining my Bachelor's degree in Guitar performance at Oberlin Conservatory I was employed by the conservatory's secondary lessons department. This studio featured a diverse mix of college students, adults, and children. In addition I am Suzuki method certified and I was a summer instructor at the Amherst School of Guitar in Buffalo, NY. I have experience working with children from as young as 5 to as old as 65.
About Lenny
While studying with me we will work on many facets of music including technique, sight reading, critical listening, music theory, improvisation, and how to apply these skills to a piece of music to truly express yourself. My goal is to instill a deep understanding of music to my students while letting their individual sensibilities show.
STYLES: I can teach all styles of American music (i.e Rock, Blues, Country, Jazz, R&B etc.) as well as classical and fingerstyle.
I have a degree in classical
I have experience playing in many different bands in many styles including: Rock, Reggae, African, Blues, and Jazz groups.
SUZUKI METHOD: I am trained and certified in the Suzuki Guitar Method and spent 3 years teaching Suzuki in studio with children as young as 5. This involves a significant parent-teacher-student commitment and regularly yields impressive results.
ON TALENT: I agree with Shin-ichi Suzuki that talent is irrelevant and a myth. I believe that the potential of all my students are the same but they come to me with various starting skills levels and all learn at a very different pace. I believe that the myth of "talent" really just means that the individual has had a long exposure to music. This is why I emphasize critical listening in my lessons. If you have a large knowledge of music and sounds in your head it makes it easier to make connections and better assess your ideas.

I like to pick out songs that someone actually likes, start out with something easy to get playing, and then learn other songs that bring in new techniques
I find that this method can actually bring a person who knows nothing about music to be a competent guitar player very quickly
About Tom
I have always loved teaching people things that I enjoy, sharing my experience with others, and helping people realize their own potential.
I am a musician, a martial artist, and a general IT guru.
Music and martial arts runs in my family, and I was raised around them from a very young age.
As a child, I was always fascinated with computers, and had to know everything I could about them.
My teaching style is a bit unorthodox, focusing more on philosophy and personal introspection than traditional "memorize and practice" methods, and is very mind, body, and spirit oriented.
Feel free to ask me questions for more information.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Southmont will soon have its very own Biscuit King.
The location will be at 11500 N.C. Highway 8, which is an existing building in the Lakeside Village complex at Wildlife Access Road and Highway 8. Cathy Dunn, owner of the Biscuit Kings and 37 year Southmont resident, said she feels like she is coming home. The State took the old Hardware House Restaurant that she and her late husband owned years ago in a plan to widen Highway 8.
Dunn has missed seeing the familiar faces of the community in which she resides. Dunn's general manager, Sherry Eggers, has hired almost all Southmont residents for the new expansion. Eggers and her husband, Phillip Eggers, have also lived in the Southmont community for over 25 years.
All of those who have contributed to Biscuit King's success look forward to having a local restaurant in Southmont.
Besides having the same menu as the other stores, this location also plans to feature plate lunches with the menu changing every day. Friday's will feature fish and Saturday's will feature steak. Other menu items will include chicken pie, country style steak, homemade spaghetti and much more.
The hours will be extended for everyone who lives on and around the lake as well as the entire Southmont area. They will be open seven days a week from 5 a.m. – 9 p.m. The restaurant will have a drive through window with easy access in and out. There will be a regular sit-in area to eat, read newspapers, visit or use Wi-Fi.
The opening date is set for Oct. 14. Everyone needs to go by, get some good food and welcome them to the community of Southmont!.

Southmont memories
I have mentioned several of the activities that I and friends would do growing up in Southmont. One of prominent ones that I have not mentioned was fort building. I am actually not sure where the inspiration for building forts came from. It could have been from watching Fess Parker portray Daniel Boone on TV. The television series ran from 1964 through 1970 and was my favorite show so it is conceivable that is where the idea came.
Our forts were mostly just crude shelters made from pine tree limbs. The construction would start with a beam of some sort, maybe a limb or a piece of flat steel nailed between two trees in the woods behind the house. Dad's bow saw was great for cutting the pine limbs. We would cut them off the trees in approximately 5 foot lengths and lean them against the beam forming a teepee like structure. The method actually formed a pretty nice shelter and would even keep rain out to some degree.
After the fort was up, our imaginations would run wild. We would defend it from Indians, rescue each other from captivity and man the fort while another scouted. The scout would inevitably return with wild stories of what they had seen and the impending doom if corrective action was not taken immediately.
What fun we had. What do children in Southmont or any other community do these days that provide or spark imagination? I wonder if children today have ever heard of a fort, much less defended one.

By PETE IACOBELLI
AP Sports Writer
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier truly likes Clemson's Dabo Swinney. The Gamecocks coach also likes the mutual respect coming from both sides of the Palmetto State's biggest rivalry.
No. 6 Clemson (10-1) plays at No. 10 South Carolina (9-2) on Saturday night. The Tigers are trying to end a four-game losing streak in the rivalry, while the Gamecocks look to continue a school-record 17-game home win streak.
And there's not much off-the-field spice in the 111th meeting. Instead, it's been a mutual admiration society headed up by the head coaches.
That hasn't always been the case. Two years ago, Swinney took exception to a comment wrongly attributed to Spurrier and went on a rant tearing down Gamecocks football.
Spurrier last season said Swinney usually talks a "bunch of garbage."

In their final home match of the MLS Reserve League season, Vancouver Whitecaps FC reserves (3W-4L-2D) fell 2-1 to San Jose Earthquakes reserves (5W-2L-2D) on Monday.
Though Atiba Harris cancelled out San Jose trialist Matt Fondy's opening goal in the first half at Thunderbird Stadium on the campus of the University of British Columbia, the Earthquakes reserves claimed the away win through a fortuitous winning goal from Jesus Morales in the second half.
"The result was disappointing," Whitecaps FC assistant coach Carl Robinson told whitecapsfc.com. "I think we created a number of opportunities and got ourselves into very good scoring positions, but sadly, we didn't manage to take them."
Robinson gave recent acquisition Tiago Ulisses his first run-out in a Whitecaps FC uniform on Monday, with the Brazilian looking composed as a holding midfielder in the Vancouver second string's 4-1-4-1 formation.
Led by former Whitecaps FC and Canadian international defender Mark Watson, San Jose reserves' line-up included six members of the Earthquakes Academy. They took the lead on 10 minutes. Brian Burke's cross from the right found an unmarked Fondy. His header flew past 'Caps reserves goalkeeper Brian Sylvestre for a 1-0 San Jose lead.
The home side responded well, with Russell Teibert just missing the target before setting up Whitecaps FC's equalizer on 21 minutes. The Canadian international slipped a ball through to Harris in the San Jose box before the big striker neatly chipped his finish past Earthquakes goalkeeper Evan Newton for 1-1.
While the Earthquakes reserves tested Sylvestre on a couple of occasions before the break, Harris and Michael Nanchoff had good chances for Vancouver before the halftime whistle.
The second half saw more action at both ends, plus more youngsters get a chance off the substitutes' bench. Sylvestre made saves from San Jose's Kris Clark and Josh Suggs, while Harris looked more of an attacking threat for the Blue and White.
The deciding goal came on 75 minutes, and in unfortunate circumstances. Sylvestre was unable to secure a loose ball in the Vancouver box and Morales took advantage to convert into an empty net for a 2-1 Earthquakes lead.
Whitecaps FC responded well again and were unlucky not to level matters for a second time in the match. The best of those chances nearly fell to Residency youngster Brody Huitema, who came on as a second-half substitute. Harris' low cross to the Chilliwack, BC, native was just cut out in time by the visitors on 88 minutes.
Whitecaps FC reserves will conclude their Reserve League schedule on the road next month, as they visit LA Galaxy reserves in Southern California on Friday, October 12.

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Joe Blanton will be placed on the 15-day disabled list with a mild oblique strain that will need between three to six weeks to heal, Phillies team physician Michael Ciccotti said.
Blanton injured his left oblique muscle during a bullpen session on Wednesday. He met with doctors this morning and the diagnosis was made.
It is the first time in Blanton's six-year career that he will need to go on the disabled list.
His injury further complicates an already murky pitching situation for the Phillies headed into the season. Presumably this means Kyle Kendrick, who had lost the fifth starter's job to Jamie Moyer, will slide into Blanton's spot in the starting rotation. Kendrick was going to pitch out of the bullpen.
Ciccotti said the plan is to have Blanton travel north with the team and throw for the first time as early as a week from today, April 8. If Blanton responds well to rest and anti-inflammatory medication, he will long toss that day.
Blanton's last outing was a minor-league game on Monday in which he allowed 11 runs in five innings. Ciccotti said Blanton had shown no symptoms of the injury until Wednesday.
Ciccotti said Blanton's oblique strain is less severe than the one that kept former Phillies reliever Clay Condrey out of action for over two months last season. Condrey missed a month with the injury, then came back and pitched in three games before reinjuring the muscle.
Ciccotti said the injury is one that will not return if treated correctly.
"If you treat it carefully initially, then you can actually minimize the risk of recurrence," Ciccotti said.
What does this mean for the rotation? The guess here is that Kendrick will be slotted into Blanton's spot in the rotation, meaning he makes his first start Thursday in Washington against the Nationals. That will at least keep J.A. Happ and Jamie Moyer on their current schedules.
Moyer starts in today's Grapefruit League finale against Pittsburgh.
The other question is this: What happens now to the bullpen? Kendrick was probably going to be more than a long man to start considering the injuries to Brad Lidge and J.C. Romero had already left the bullpen thin -- and few of the middle relief candidates have been impressive this spring.
Now the Phillies have another spot to fill. Does it come from within the organization? I'm not so sure it does. Of all the relievers sent down in the last few weeks, none appeared ready for a major-league job. General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. has been paying close attention to the waiver wire already during the past few weeks and the Phillies will likely add another bullpen arm before the season begins on Monday.

One of the most acclaimed artists to emerge from postwar Asia, Takashi Murakami—"the Warhol of Japan"—is known for his contemporary Pop synthesis of fine art and popular culture, particularly his use of a boldly graphic and colorful anime and manga cartoon style. Murakami became famous in the 1990s for his "Superflat" theory and for organizing the paradigmatic exhibition of that title, which linked the origins of contemporary Japanese visual culture to historical Japanese art. His output includes paintings, sculptures, drawings, animations, and collaborations with brands such as Louis Vuitton. "Japanese people accept that art and commerce will be blended; and in fact, they are surprised by the rigid and pretentious Western hierarchy of "high art'," Murakami says. "In the West, it certainly is dangerous to blend the two because people will throw all sorts of stones. But that's okay—I'm ready with my hard hat."

Attention all Vancouver Whitecaps FC fans.
The opportunity to exercise your democratic right is almost over.
Voting for the 2012 Player of the Year closes at 11:59 p.m. PT TONIGHT so if you haven't cast your all-important vote already, then get to it.
Members of the club's technical staff as well as select representatives from the media came up with the five names on the ballot.
Voting began in earnest last week with hundreds of your fellow 'Caps Nation constituents already having their say. After the weekend, Koffie and Lee are neck and neck, however, DeMerit, Mattocks, and Rochat are not too far behind.
The final choice is now yours, who will you pick?
The clock is ticking.
The Choices
Jay DeMerit - defender #6
The inspirational captain has been a reliable fixture in the centre of Whitecaps FC's backline this season. The United States international has made 29 MLS appearances, which ranks him second on the team. The Green Bay, Wisconsin, native has been a pillar of strength in front of either goalkeeper Joe Cannon or Brad Knighton and has looked comfortable playing alongside either Martin Bonjour or Andy O'Brien. The 32-year-old's winning goal against Chivas USA on March 17 secured the club's first road win in MLS. He also has one assist to his name and has been named Budweiser Man of the Match four times.
Gershon Koffie - midfielder #28
#12 on MLSsoccer.com's '24 Under 24' list for 2012, the Ghanaian central midfielder has been a valuable box-to-box asset for head coach Martin Rennie this season. Selected as last year's Most Promising Player, the 21-year-old has shown plenty of composure on the ball when playing as a deep midfielder, while also wreaking havoc on the opposition with his forays into the attacking half and his wicked shot - his 38 shots rank him second on the team. Koffie has featured in 27 matches this season, scored three beautifully-taken goals, and earned two assists. It is no surprise he has won a staggering six Budweiser Man of the Match awards this season.
Young-Pyo Lee - defender #12
The tireless former South Korean international is one of the first names that Rennie writes down on his starting XI. The 35-year-old has played in a team-high 31 matches and amassed 2,790 minutes of action this season. In doing so, the former PSV Eindhoven and Tottenham Hotspur FC man has ensured Whitecaps FC have maintained some semblance of familiarity at right fullback through 2012. With a strong work ethic, Lee ranks second in the team for assists with four. He even scored a fortuitous match-winning goal at Columbus Crew on April 28. The defender's industrious work on the right flank has twice won him the Budweiser Man of the Match award.
Darren Mattocks - striker #22
The first-year striker has made an instant impact for Whitecaps FC after the club selected him with the second overall pick in this year's MLS SuperDraft. The 22-year-old's electrifying pace and clinical finishing has him in contention for MLS Rookie of the Year honours. The Jamaican international has scored seven goals and added one assist in 19 appearances. He also ranks second in the team for shots on goal with 16. Mattocks leads the club with two game-winning goals in 2012 and was recently named the best MLS player under the age of 24 in MLSsoccer.com's '24 under 24' list for 2012. The Budweiser Man of the Match honour has been bestowed on Mattocks twice this season.
Alain Rochat - defender/midfielder #4
The Canadian-born Swiss international has proven to be one of the most vital components in Martin Rennie's squad with his versatility. Rochat can be called upon to switch positions and fill any roles in the Scottish coach's system. The 29-year-old has played in 25 matches this season and has helped the team not only from his usual position at left fullback, but also in the centre of defence, and most recently in central midfield. On top of that, Rochat has the ability to get forward and get his name on the scoresheet. In 2,172 minutes of action, he has found the back of the net twice and registered two assists. His four Budweiser Man of the Match awards underline his importance to the Blue and White.

AMERICA'S third president, Thomas Jefferson, has long been known as the author of the Declaration of Independence and one of the most important Founding Fathers.
A new book by Jon Meacham, Thomas Jefferson: the Art of Power, should elevate Jefferson's standing to a height perhaps comparable to no more than two or three others. (Lincoln? FDR? Make your own call.)
Charlie Crist, former Florida Republican governor, announced on Dec.10 that he was changing parties, becoming a Democrat, after reading Meacham's book on Jefferson.
Not meaning to read the governor's mind, but, having just finished the book myself, I can see how he was influenced.
JEFFERSON (1743 -1826) was undoubtedly a genius, interested in science, books, architecture, gardening and other pursuits. He would have been much happier to stay in his mountain-top Virginia mansion, Monticello, than to answer his country's call.
But just a few years after America had won its independence from Britain, the Federalist Party had elected John Adams president. Jefferson feared the Federalists might evolve into a new monarchy, with a hereditary elite ruling over the majority.
(Jefferson himself was considered a democratic-republican, the modern parties not yet having emerged. He saw America as the pioneer experiment in self-government by lan entire people.)
AUTHOR Jon Meacham had access to voluminous unpublished Jefferson presidential papers and other primary materials that may not have been used by previous biographers.
Most notable is the 1998 DNA tests of descendants of Sally Hemings, the slave who was said by his enemies to be Jefferson's concubine and mother of several of his children. Of the four who survived into adulthood, Meacham writes that two daughters, Beverly and Harriet, were allowed to leave Monticello in the 1820s and lived as whites.
Sally herself was said to be half white. Jefferson in his lifetime never acknowledged the children he fathered by her, but in his will freed five members of the Hemings family who moved north and lived as whites. One changed his name to Eston Jefferson and lived in Wisconsin.
Although he was opposed to slavery in principle, Jefferson never freed any of his other slaves. They were necessary to maintain his "lifestyle," a term that probably wasn't used back then.
ONE OF THE third president's greatest accomplishments was no doubt his signing of the Louisiana Purchase, which made it possible for the U.S. to become a transcontinental power.
In the epitaph he wrote for himself, though, he listed himself as the writer of the Declaration of Independence and a founder of the University of Virginia—but made no mention of the presidency.
The most poignant passages in this recent book tell of how Jefferson fought to stay alive until July 4, 1826, the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
By this time the second president, Adams, and Jefferson had reconciled their differences. And Adams, then 90 years old, died on the same day, His last words were said to be, "Jefferson still lives."
Jon Meacham has produced a book that is hard to put down for anyone interested in how America came to be what it is today.

NEW YORK, July 19 (UPI) -- Stocks rose on Wall Street Thursday as investors shook off a variety of negative economic reports.
The Labor Department said first-time jobless claims rose by 34,000 to 386,000 in the week ending Saturday. The Conference Board said the U.S. leading indicators fell 0.3 percent to 95.6 in June, the third consecutive monthly decline.
In a report that contained good and bad news, the National Association of Realtors said existing home sales fell 5.4 percent in June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.37 million homes.
Sales slowed, but tight supplies of homes on the market continued to push home prices higher. With a 6.6-month supply on the market at the current rate of sales, the national median home price in the month was $189,400, up 7.9 percent from a year earlier, the trade group said.
Stocks were mixed early but turned around late in the day. By close of trading on Wall Street, the Dow Jones industrial average added 34.66 points, 0.27 percent, to 12,943.36. The Standard & Poor's 500 index added 3.73 points, 0.27 percent, to 1,376.51. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index gained 23.30 points, 0.79 percent, to 2,965.90.
On the New York Stock Exchange, 1,586 stocks advanced and 1,425 declined on a volume of 3.7 billion shares traded.
The benchmark 10-year treasury note fell 3/32 to yield 1.51 percent.
The euro fell to $1.2274 from Wednesday's $1.2283. Against the yen, the dollar fell to 78.66 yen from 78.80 yen.
In Tokyo, the Nikkei 225 index added 0.61 percent, 68.81, to 8,795.55.
In London, the FTSE 100 index climbed 0.5 percent, 28.42, to 5,714.19.

There are three basic types of furniture care products: silicones, waxes and polishes.
While silicone cleaners offer a high degree of shine, the silicone seeps into even the highest quality finishes creating a barrier that will not accept stain or finish. This makes it virtually impossible to re-finish or touch up when it may be required.
All SHER-WOOD® catalyzed finishes are durable and hard enough that in most cases they do not require any wax. Waxes should actually be avoided because their regular use may result in build-up wax film on the surface. This build–up could actually attract dirt, smoke and other pollutants in the air, resulting in smudges and streaks. Also, many waxes contain grit than may permanently damage the surface if used improperly.
Polishes would be the best choice for use. They contain detergents to clean the dirt, emulsifiers give it body to clean and last longer, and mineral oil is left behind as a barrier for dirt and moisture while leaving no wax or silicone residue.
Avoid draping damp clothes or dishtowels over cabinet doors – excessive moisture can cause permanent damage.

First of all, Happy Fourth to all the MTC readers out there.
Whether you're barbecuing, down the shore, taking in Phils-Mets, hope you have a great and safe holiday.
As you know by now, there are no holidays here, even during one of the slowest times on the NFL calendar. We're here to give you your daily football fix.
Today, we point to an item by Adam Schein of FoxSports.com. Schein makes the argument that the Eagles have the best receiving corps in the NFC East:
The Eagles' receivers are the best in the NFC East. For all of the question marks at this position through the Donovan McNabb-Andy Reid era, and all of the dropped passes by Todd Pinkston and company, finally Eagles fans can rejoice in the truth of the above statement. And actually, it isn't even close.
With Plaxico Burress and Terrell Owens out of the picture, it's an interesting argument.
DeSean Jackson was the standout for the Eagles last season with 62 catches for 912 yards and a pair of touchdowns. I think most fans will be content if he matches those totals in 2009. Kevin Curtis, given his health, is a question mark. We have no clue what to expect from Reggie Brown, and Jeremy Maclin is still a rookie.
Jason Avant is steady, and Hank Baskett tells us the fade is going to be a serious weapon this season.
Overall, I'm pretty comfortable with the receivers. I think the "spread the ball around" blueprint can work for the most part. Where I question its effectiveness is in crunch time. Time and again in the NFL, we see quarterbacks relying on the No. 1 guy during a game-winning drive late in the fourth quarter. Can Jackson be that guy for Donovan McNabb? That's the leap it'd be nice to see him take in year number two.
As for the other teams in the division, the Giants' biggest question marks probably come at receiver. They'll rely on some young guys who are talented, but unproven.
You could certainly make the argument for the Redskins. Santana Moss is a proven veteran, who had a very good 2008 campaign, with 79 catches for 1,044 yards and six touchdowns. As Schein pointed out in his article, the overall success of the 'Skins' receivers probably rests on the shoulders of second-year guys Malcolm Kelly and Devin Thomas.
And finally the Cowboys. Can Roy Williams be the No. 1 guy? Dallas obviously thinks so, considering how much they gave up for him. And considering that they cut T.O. loose. It would be impossible for him not to improve from last season, but can he be the same guy who caught 82 balls for 1,310 yards and seven touchdowns with the Lions in 2006?
That's my take on the overall comparison. You could really make the case for the Eagles, Redskins or Cowboys. The Giants' receiving corps, at least at this point, appears to be a clear fourth.
Other links to pass along:
** SI.com's Ross Tucker gives the Eagles props for having a great offseason:
The Eagles somehow managed to let go of a large chunk of the core of their team over the past six years and still come out the other side alive. Gone are Tra Thomas, Jon Runyan, Brian Dawkins, L.J. Smith and Lito Sheppard. All of them were replaced by younger players who may actually end up being upgrades in the 2009 season. So much for the window closing on the Eagles.
** CBSSports.com's Pete Prisco names an underrated and overrated player for each team. Overrated for the Eagles is Brian Westbrook:
He's a good player but some think he's great. He doesn't stay on the field, and for a guy who didn't rush for 1,000 yards last season, you'd think he was Adrian Peterson the way some talk about him.
Underrated, per Prisco, is Quintin Mikell:
He was the Eagles' best safety last season, not Brian Dawkins. He's a good tackler who has improved in pass coverage.

Church leaders in Peru called for dialogue and expressed concern about the detention of two human rights workers in the southern Andes Mountains during violent protests over a copper mine. Two people have been killed and dozens, including police officers, have been injured in demonstrations against the Tintaya Mine, owned by Xstrata, a Swiss company. On May 28, the government imposed a 30-day state of emergency after the protest, which began the week before, turned violent on May 27. The mine, which local residents say pollutes water and soil in the area, is located in the Territorial Prelature of Sicuani, a church jurisdiction where most of the inhabitants are Quechua farmers. Environmental monitoring coordinated by the prelature has found high levels of metals in water and soil samples. The church workers were detained on May 28 after two lawyers from the prelature's human rights office persuaded demonstrators to free a government prosecutor who was investigating the protests. According to local reports, the lawyers accompanied the prosecutor to the mining camp, where some protesters were being held in a police station. While the two lawyers went inside with the prosecutor, their driver and another prelature employee were detained. Police later claimed that they had found ammunition in the vehicle. The detained workers were released on May 30, according to government reports. In a statement on May 29, U.S.-born Bishop Miguel La Fay Bardi of Sicuani and other prelature officials "categorically rejected" the accusation that ammunition had been found in the vehicle.

Google fails to excite on revenue surge
Tired of over-achievement
Google's income nearly tripled over the Christmas holiday period, boosted by growing online advertising, but failed to excite investors.
The advertising giant reported a 176 per cent increase in net income for the three months to December 31 to $1.03bn on revenue that jumped 67 per cent to $3.2bn. Earnings per diluted share increased $2.07 to hit $3.29.
Annual net revenue doubled to 110 per cent to $3.07bn on revenue of $10.6bn, an increase of 72 per cent, and EPS that nearly doubled to $7.05.
Money from Google sites increased 80 per cent to $1.98bn in the quarter, accounting for 62 per cent of the pie. Revenue from partners' sites, affiliated through the AdSense engine, grew 50 per cent and accounted for 37 per cent of Google's business.
Traffic acquisition costs (TAC) increased 40 per cent to $976m, but continued its downward march as a proportion of Google's ads business thanks to the health of the overall business. TAC was down almost three percentage points to 30.7 per cent.
So it was a little puzzling that Google was down in after hours trading. Shares in the giant fell by as much as $15, or three per cent, despite Google pretty much hitting expectations.
Either Wall Street is tiring of Google's good fortune and its wanton commitment to keep ploughing juicy revenue back into the business or is getting a little frustrated at a lack of answers over how the $1.65bn YouTube acquisition will translate into search-driven ad revenue and growth.
Chief financial officer George Reyes told investors to expect "significant" investment in Google's technology infrastructure, advertising partnership and internet services, and continued expansion in staffing. Investment will ramp up as Google pushes into video, radio and brand advertising, co-founder and president Sergey Brin said.
On YouTube, executives promised integration with Google search "overtime" but would not be drawn on specifics or break out revenue. The company, meanwhile, said mobile search traffic would increase substantially during 2007. ®

I see the work of gods who pile tower-high the pride of those who were nothing, and dash present grandeur down.
–Euripides, in The Trojan Women,
referring to the fall of Troy
The inauguration of Barack Obama, "whose father less than sixty years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant," is both a culmination and a beginning. The culmination is the milestone represented by the arrival of a black man in the office of president of the United States. That achievement reaches back to the founding ideals of the Republic–"all men are created equal"–which have been fulfilled in a new way, even as it resonates around a world in which for centuries white imperialists have subjected people of color to oppression. The event fully justifies the national and global jubilation it has touched off. This much is truly accomplished, signed and sealed.
The beginning is, at the very least, the beginning of post-George W. Bush America, and fact-tempered hope rather than joy must be the keynote. In this context, the event is like a candle that has been lit in a dark and gusty room. How high its light will blaze is anything but clear. For the election of this unreasonably talented and appealing man occurred together with a remarkable array of crises, of which the economic one is only the newest. A man and an hour: a familiar matchup. A lot has been said about the man. Analyzing the makeup of the new administration has become the new Kremlinology, and a good deal of ink has been spilled pondering whether the avatar of "vision" has opted instead for the status quo, whether the fresh breeze from the hustings has already stagnated in the swamps of the capital, whether a bold campaign platform is being traded in for mainstream governance. And it is true that a centrist drift has been unmistakable. Joe Biden as vice president, Hillary Clinton as secretary of state, Robert Gates as defense secretary and Larry Summers as chief economic adviser–these are hardly fresh faces. The $275 billion tax cut as part of the stimulus plan was not calculated to please the Democratic "base." Yet other appointments, especially those to environmental posts, have suggested a more venturesome presidency. And public expectations are high: nearly 80 percent of the people are hopeful about his presidency.
But what of the hour–the broad shape of the new world that Obama and all of us will face? If only the economic crisis were involved, the path ahead would have something of the known and familiar. Economic cycles come and go, and even the Great Depression eased up in a little more than a decade. But this year's crisis is attended by–or embedded in–at least four others of even larger scope. The second is the shortage of natural resources, beginning with fossil fuels. Oil prices have fallen sharply from their peak of last summer, but does anyone doubt that when the economy bounces back those prices will rise with it?

DENVER (July 16, 2009) - Two outstanding graduate students were recognized with scholarships awarded in honor of one of the cattle industry's greatest pioneers. The National Cattlemen's Foundation honored the late W.D. Farr, of Greeley, Colo., through two annual $12,000 graduate scholarships bearing his name.
Chelsea Kay Good will begin law school this fall at Washburn University in Topeka, Kan. Originally from Colorado, Good is currently completing her Master's Degree in Communication Studies at Kansas State University, where she has also received Bachelor's Degrees in agricultural communications and journalism, political science and public relations. Good also received an Associate's Degree in Agriculture from Butler Community College. Upon receiving her law degree, Good plans to use her accumulative training to aid the beef industry in making a personal connection with consumers and lawmakers who are increasingly removed from the business.
Ryan G. L. Murphy is a doctoral candidate in Meat Science, at Colorado State University, where he also received his Master's Degree in Meat Science, with research focus on international marketing of red meats as well as red meat quality and safety. A native of Canada, Murphy received his Bachelor's Degree in Animal Science at the University of Saskatchewan. Following graduation, Murphy intends to move to Asia to apply his knowledge in meat science to support international marketing of red meats as well as red meat quality and safety. Murphy's longer-term plans include moving back to North America to continue advocacy for free trade of red meat products.
W.D. Farr was president of the National Cattlemen's Association in 1970 and was the first president of the National Cattlemen's Foundation. His career in agriculture spanned 75 years and included innovations in cattle feeding, uniform beef grading, water conservation and banking. Farr died at age 97 in August 2007.
Contributions to the scholarship fund total over $200,000, with fundraising efforts pursuing additional dollars to support more young scholars in the beef industry.
We are very pleased to honor the late W.D. Farr and his life's work in agriculture, while assisting young people who exemplify his drive and vision, said Bob Josserand, chairman of the National Cattlemen's Foundation Board of Trustees.

Could it be time to get out of Dodge? Former Dodgers Chief Executive Jamie McCourt is quietly offering her Westside estate at $65 million.
The Palladian-style villa, which is not in the Multiple Listing Service, was marketed as having 20,000 square feet of living space when she and ex-husband Frank McCourt bought the property in 2004 for about $25 million. Also on the 2.6-acre site then were two guesthouses, a tennis court and an outdoor swimming pool. She has since added a subterranean indoor pool.
Built in 1990 and redone in 2000, the house featured six bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, a sound studio, a wine cellar and a projection room when she made the purchase.

Former Schalke striker Kevin Kuranyi is confident that Huub Stevens' side are capable of repeating their run to the 2010-11 Champions League semi-finals this term.
The Konigsblauen sealed qualification from the group stage on matchday 5 with a 1-0 win over Olympiakos, and the 30-year-old has lauded their squad and coaching.
"They have got through the group stage very well. And anything is possible in the knock-out stage," he told Goal.com.
"I think they can follow the same path as they did in 2011. I think that the team is set up really well. They have a great mixture of experience and young players.
"They also have Huub Stevens, a very good trainer. So, Schalke are a strong team."
The current edition of the Champions League has seen three German teams qualify for the latter stages, and Kuranyi went on to say that the Bundesliga is showing its potential.
"You see the Bundesliga compared to the top teams in Europe more and more. Its teams have developed well in Europe.
"In the Bundesliga, there's a lot of competition, which has had an affect on how the clubs do in Europe. It's not just in the Champions League - German football is well represented in the Europa League too."
Young goalkeeper Lars Unnerstall's performances have attracted criticism in recent weeks, and Kuranyi believes he would always have a "hard time" replacing Manuel Neuer.
"He is still very young. I try to just focus on the game, but that's not always easy. The goalkeeper is a successor to Neuer. Whoever succeeds him will have a hard time.
"As a player, you have to try and ignore the whistles and give your best. Then people can see that you're there for the club. Good performances come with experience."
Kuranyi left the Veltins Arena in 2010 for Dinamo Moscow, but is not thinking about a return to the Bundesliga.
"I am fully focussed on Dinamo Moscow and trying to achieve our goals with the team. But in football you never know. I haven't been thinking about another club."
Schalke's final Group B game, a trip to France to face Montpellier, kicks off at 20:45CET on Tuesday.

Birth story excerpted from Sheri Menelli's book Journey into Motherhood: Inspirational Stories of Natural Birth

In My Deepest Meditation
By Yael Solomon
To my dearest Yakir Daniel,
YOU REST, SECURELY CUDDLED at my breast, as I begin to process your birth. I have wanted to write it down for the past three months, ever since you entered my life, but I haven't found the perfect moment… until now.
Your father, Amichai, and I returned home after spending the weekend with my parents. We joined them at a barbecue with friends before heading out on our two-and-a-half-hour drive back to Philadelphia. Although I am not much of a meat eater, that day I seemed to have consumed enough steak and hot dogs to feed a small army. Unbeknownst to me at the time, my body was storing energy for your labor, just hours away. The barbecue was fun and I laughed a lot, deep penetrating laughs. At one point, I thought I felt a muscle pull from a particularly long belly laugh. In retrospect, it was my labor starting. Your aba (father) and I believe that you were created with laughter, and therefore it was only appropriate that your birth began with laughter.
After we arrived home and settled in, I began my nightly ritual of yoga stretches. Without this thirty-minute practice, I was unable to sleep. At around 2:00 in the morning, I was still stretching! I realized that these "tight muscles" were probably contractions! This was it! I'd finally get to meet you! I woke up Amichai to tell him and he went into shock. He told me to try to sleep, or relax and to try to do my birth project. Yet the contractions were getting closer together and more intense. All I could focus on was you.
At this point, your aba had fully awakened and called in our support—the midwife Barbara, and Yiscah, my soul sister. When I called your grandfather, instead of passing the phone over to my mother, he hung up on me! It was 2:30 in the morning! I had to wait for the next contraction to wash over me before calling again.
Your aba was in rare form—filling up the birthing pool, clearing an area for the midwife to place her equipment, lighting candles and putting on the music we had chosen to welcome you into the world.
The world was so dark and still; your aba and I submerged together in the birthing pool—alone and intimate before the cavalry began to arrive. You had been created with love and light, and we wanted a private moment to complete that circle of life, your creation and your birth.
As people began to arrive, they respected the quiet atmosphere we had created. We wanted your entrance into this world to be as peaceful and serene as possible. Yiscah arrived first, relaxed and aglow. She and Amichai took turns massaging my back and hips for 11 hours. They offered words of encouragement as they escorted me to and from the bathroom.
I remember being in the warm water and surrendering to the contractions. They were the intense energy that was bringing you forth into the world. I loved every second of it! It wasn't painful; it was intense. It was an experience I had never had before and one that I would never forget. This was something only you and I felt. It created a truly spiritual bond between us, a bond that I will always cherish. I know that there were other people in the room, a halo of support and love, yet I was hardly aware of them. I was cognizant of your aba's loving touch and Yiscah's soothing hands, but that's it. I too was encased in a womb—waters that brought me back to the Garden of Eden, where the universe began. I was in touch with all women from all time who had given birth and who will give birth. It was such a feeling of empowerment!
At one point, I was asked by the midwife to get out of the pool to encourage my cervix to open. I had been pushing prematurely and as a result my cervix had begun to swell. I guess I was just really eager to meet you! That was an incredibly intense time—the room was dark and very still. I could hear the candles flicker and the incense smoke waft through our intimate home. I lay incredibly still, in my deepest meditation. I don't think I had ever achieved such a level of spiritual focus, except at your aba's and my wedding. Suddenly I felt a shift in the room, and sensed Sara Imeinu's (Sara, the matriarch's) presence. She represented all women to me and guided me through this most challenging part of my labor. "Open up. You are a vessel," she kept softly repeating in my ear. It worked. I tapped into resiliency that I had stored in my soul and made it through—bright, glistening and glowing.
Barbara, my midwife, wanted to check my dilation while I was on our bed to make sure the cervix was completely dilated before I got back into the pool for the water birth we had planned. But higher powers were at work and this was not meant to be. Your heart rate began to drop and Barbara felt you should be birthed on the bed, on my back. It was the VERY position I was so adamantly against. This was the birthing position that used to be enforced (and sometimes still is) in hospitals for the convenience of the doctor, and often to the disservice of the laboring mother. Yet, did I hesitate? Did I protest? NOT FOR A SECOND! Your well-being was of utmost importance, not my birthing plan. I was becoming a mother. You taught me the precious lesson that every mother needs to know—the practice of surrender. I had to let go of the "perfect" birth to make space for your birth, which was the true birth. Once I had learned this invaluable lesson, you entered my life.
I had told the midwife that I wanted to catch you when you were born. However, at the time of your birth, it was not a passive act. It was active and primal. I claimed you. You were mine. I placed you, slippery and precious, on my naked skin and embraced you. You slowly crept your way to my breast to receive your hard-earned nourishment. Thank you for entering my life and choosing me to be your mommy.
I love you, Yakir Daniel.
Your ima (mommy)

NH food stamp drop pinned on rule change, not economyBy SHAWNE K. WICKHAM
New Hampshire Sunday News
June 14. 2014 9:20PM
The number of New Hampshire households receiving food stamps has dropped by about 4,700 since the beginning of 2013 - another sign that the state is recovering from the economic slump, right?
Not so fast.
New Hampshire's declining case load is in fact tied to the state's improving economic health. But it's not because people here don't need the help anymore, officials say.
Instead, it's because the federal government decided the state was doing well enough by the end of 2012 to return to stricter eligibility standards that pre-date the recession. And that dropped 3,051 households from the program in 2013 alone.
The change also could end up costing the state federal dollars.
Terry Smith is director of the state Division of Family Assistance, which administers food stamp benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
On May 28, Smith wrote a letter to the acting director of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service, voicing concern that the change puts the state "at a statistical disadvantage when competing for federal bonus money."
Here's why:
One of the policy changes that came out of welfare reform in the 1990s involved able-bodied adults ages 18 to 50 without dependent children (known as ABAWDs).
These individuals can only receive three months of food stamps within a three-year period; after that, the benefits cease - unless an individual works an average of 20 hours a week, Smith explained. "In which case, you can stay on the program and receive food stamps," he said.
"Like all of welfare reform, it's tied to employment-related activities and the expectation that people on assistance will be moving toward independence."
Waivers given
But after the recession hit and case loads began to rise nationwide, the USDA gave states waivers on those ABAWD restrictions. Now these individuals "could get food stamps as long as they needed it, because the thought was there are just no jobs to be had," Smith said.
By the end of 2012, however, he said, "New Hampshire was one of only a few states whose economy was deemed improved enough to return to those restrictions." The waiver was lifted - and the effect was immediate.
New Hampshire's SNAP case load peaked in January 2013, when 58,229 households received benefits. But that February - the same month those stricter ABAWD rules kicked back in - the number of SNAP cases dropped by 1,933.
"The only variable that changed was the ABAWD rule," Smith said.
And the numbers have continued to decline every month since. By last month, there were 53,521 households on food stamps here, the lowest number since December 2010.
Different situation
So while some have touted declining SNAP case loads as a sign that the nation's economy is improving, Smith said that's not necessarily the case here.
"New Hampshire's case load decline cannot be separated from the change in federal policy," he said, "and in fact, there's no evidence to suggest that the case load is improving relative to an improving economy."
Smith said he suspects the number of adults who have lost food stamps here because of the eligibility change is actually much higher than the 3,051 documented ABAWD cases that closed in 2013.
Smith pointed out SNAP case loads were still climbing in January 2013; he wonders what the numbers here would look like had the relaxed ABAWD rules remained in place.
"The case load trend turned on a dime," he said. "And my question is, as we look at the numbers, where would the case loads be now? Would they have continued to increase?
"So we could be losing more ABAWDs and gaining population from the others."
By May, the total drop in SNAP households since the waiver was lifted was 4,708.
And here's why all this could wind up costing New Hampshire federal dollars.
Smith explained that the USDA awards performance bonuses to top states based on food stamp participation rates: "That's the number of clients who are eligible for food stamps compared to those that are actually receiving food stamps."
Looking bad
The problem is, New Hampshire may now look worse in that ranking, known as the Program Access Index, because of how many ABAWDs dropped off the rolls here.
Smith noted 35 other states, plus the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands, are still operating under ABAWD waivers. So it's no longer a level playing field when it comes to competing for that federal bonus money, he contends.
New Hampshire has qualified for the bonus funding three times since 2002, Smith said; that year, the state received $1 million for improved participation among children. In 2007, the state received $330,500, and in 2010, it won $438,214 for its improved participation rates.
The funding, which by law cannot be used to increase federally set benefits, has gone to improving systems here, such as digitizing case files, Smith said.
A spokesman for the USDA last week said in an email that the agency's Food and Nutrition Service "works closely with state partners to ensure eligible individuals have access to SNAP benefits."
"USDA received New Hampshire's letter addressing the calculating of the SNAP Program Access Index and will carefully review the state's request," the statement read.

The rally in the dollar has created headwinds for gold futures prices, pushing the yellow metal toward support levels. Dollar strength has come on the heels of better than expected U.S. data that has push interest rate differentials in favor of the dollar. Gold forward rates have also increased, which has made holding gold more expensive for investors.
Despite the recent decline in gold prices, managed money continued to increase their holdings as reported by the CFTC. According to the most recent Commitment of Traders report for the week ending Feb. 5, 2013, managed money increased their long positions by nearly 5,000 contracts. Short positions remained basically unchanged. Many experts, including GFMS and Bullionvault, expect the long term outlook to be positive although HSBC and Morgan Stanley have recently cut their growth forecasts.
There are a number of data points that could generate volatility for gold prices during the week. The G-20 is scheduled to meet in Russia later in the week and this will be preceded by the EU finance ministers meeting that begins on Monday. Although the ECB failed to make a fuss about the recent rise in the euro, the climb vs. the yen is likely to become a soar point if the yen continues to devalue. Germany is an export led economy, and the recent surge in value makes German exports less commpetitive.
On the central bank front, the BOJ meets later in the week to determine any changes to their interest rate policy. Since their last meeting a month ago the dollar has moved higher against the yen by nearly 3 big figures. The BOJ in their last meeting announced an open ended bond purchase program that is scheduled to begin at the start of 2014, when the current program is scheduled to terminate. The BOJ also tied quantitative easing to inflation and now is targeting 2% as a goal.

Technically, gold futures prices are consolidating in a range between $1,690 and $1,650. A close below support at $1,650 would likely lead to a test of a downward sloping trend line that has been created by a channel than incorporates the current downward sloping trend of gold futures prices. Short term resistance is seen near the 10-day moving average at $1,669, and then the highs seen near $1,680/$1,690.
Momentum on gold futures prices has turned negative with the MACD (moving average convergence divergence) index generating a sell signal. This occurs when the spread (the 12-day moving average minus the 26-day moving average) crosses below the 9-day moving average of the spread. The index moved from positive to negative territory confirming the sell signal.
The RSI (relative strength index), which is an oscillator that measures overbought and oversold levels, is showing negative momentum acceleration and is poised to test the lows seen in mid-January. The RSI is now printing near 43, which is on the lower end of the neutral range (an RSI level above 70 is considered overbought while levels below 30 are considered oversold). A breakdown in prices action on gold prices is likely to coincide with a breakdown of the RSI below the 37 level.

Trayfreq (pronounced tray-freek) is a GTK+ application released under GPL that lets you select your CPU's governor or frequency from a tray icon and displays information for your battery. Trayfreq is designed to be desktop-environment-independent so it depends only on GTK+ and a system tray to show its icons. Trayfreq is the perfect addition to Xfce, LXDE, and Window Managers (Openbox, Fluxbox, etc.).
Latest Version
- Displays a icon that shows you the relative current CPU frequency
- When the CPU icon is right-clicked, it provides a menu of available frequencies and governors to choose.
- When the CPU icon is left-clicked, it runs a command (set in config file, default nothing)
- Displays a icon that shows you the status of your Battery (Charging, Discharging, Charged) and its relative current charge (optional)
- Toggling of CPU governor based on if the battery is discharging or not.
- Lightweight, Desktop-Environment Independent
Install trayfreq from the AUR. AUR Helpers are available.
System Setup
For Trayfreq to work, you will need the appropriate kernel modules loaded and added to your rc.conf. See CPU Frequency Scaling for instructions on loading cpufreq drivers and governors.
Trayfreq Setup
Now, let's edit the configuration file for trayfreq.
$ cp /usr/share/trayfreq/trayfreq.config ~/.trayfreq.config $ nano ~/.trayfreq.config
Everything will be commented out; uncomment what you want to use. Let's go through the options
[battery]– the group battery
show=1– 1 to show the battery tray icon, 0 to not show it
governor=powersave– this sets the governor to use if the battery is discharging
[ac]– the group for if the batter is not discharging
governor=ondemand– this sets the governor to use if the battery is not discharging
[events]– the group events
activate=/usr/bin/xterm– this sets the program to launch when the tray icon is activated (left clicked usually)
[governor]– the group governor
default=ondemand– this sets the default governor to be set when trayfreq starts
[frequency]– the group frequency
default=800000– this sets the default frequency in hertz to be set when trayfreq starts
Note that, if a default frequency is set, it will override the governor.
Sample File:
[battery] show=1 governor=powersave [ac] governor=ondemand [events] activate=/usr/bin/showbatt [governor] default=ondemand #[frequency] #default=800000
If you want, you can have a configuration file in your home folder, but it can now set the program to run when the tray icon is activated too. The file should be
~/.trayfreq.config; if it exists, trayfreq will not look at
A desktop file is installed into
/etc/xdg/autostart/. It will automatically start once installed. If you do not want it to start automatically, open the start up manager that comes with your desktop enviroment and uncheck trayfreq.

Although a municipality filing for bankruptcy protection is rare, you still ought to be paying attention to what happens to bondholders in the case of Detroit.
Although a municipality filing for bankruptcy protection is rare, you still ought to be paying attention to what happens to bondholders in the case of Detroit.
The city's Chapter 9 filing will likely set some precedents including how investors and/or their investment advisers view municipal bonds, also known as munis.
Municipal bonds have significantly lower rates of default than corporate or foreign government bonds. "Nevertheless, municipal bonds can and do default, and these defaults can negatively impact investors in ways other than non-payment, including delayed payments and pricing disruptions," the Securities and Exchange Commission said in a report last year.
As Detroit's bankruptcy progresses and other municipalities face greater scrutiny because they aren't being upfront about their finances in disclosures about their bonds, it could affect the reputation and cost of municipal bonds, some experts believe. But even if that doesn't happen, watch and learn more about an investment you might have in your portfolio but may not really understand.
When states, cities, counties and other governmental entities need to raise money to build highways, hospitals, schools, libraries, sewer systems or other public projects, they may issue bonds or debt obligations. Investors lend the municipalities money to pay for the projects in exchange for a promise that they will get back their principal at a specified maturity date plus interest paid at a specified time. The appeal of many munis is the state and federal tax exemption on the interest.
Detroit wants to treat the bonds as unsecured debt, even though the bonds are supposed to be backed by tax revenue and guaranteed by Michigan's Constitution.
At the end of 2011, there were more than 1 million different municipal bonds outstanding in the principal amount of more than $3.7 trillion, the SEC says. Individuals, or "retail" investors, directly or indirectly hold more than 75 percent of these municipal securities.
The people who own munis tend to be older, safety-conscious investors looking for current income, said Ric Edelman, chairman and chief executive of Edelman Financial Services.
"How safe are munis really?" he asked. "There are so many unknowns, because all of this is so new. We are not recommending muni bonds for our clients and haven't for many years. And I see no reason to change that."
In the Detroit case, there could be an ugly showdown in court over promised benefits to city retirees and bondholders. In its report, the SEC was concerned about investors not fully understanding whether cities had unfunded pensions and how the lack of funds or revenue to meet all their obligations can affect the safety of their bonds.
So yes, what happens in Detroit may not stay in Detroit.

The princess was a very interesting character to me. Throughout the book you find out many of her secrets. I liked this book because it keeps you in a lot of suspense and makes you want to read more. Avi writes so that I could imagine being in the dark castello. For example: "Though he tried to walk softly, Fabrizio's steps seemed to echo loudly. Never had the castello seemed so dark, so empty to him."
I would recommend this book to people of all ages because it has a surprise ending that everyone would like.
