About Ed R.Close

In my lessons I strive to make the maximum progress possible, while also having as much fun as possible. This is accomplished by imparting the most valuable, useful, and beneficial information in a fun and relaxed, low pressure environment, always with the students goals and priorities first and foremost. I also like to keep the student challenged at their current ability level.
For beginning students I stress basic fundamentals, just as you would in sports. It makes progress come at a much faster clip and avoids making time consuming corrections later. The longer you play with bad habits, the harder they are to break.
For more advanced students, I assess their current abilities, determine if any problems need to be addressed, and with their goals in mind, come up with the proper plan of action.
Having been self taught till entering college I understand all ends of the spectrum. In my career I have come across three separate groups of musicians:

About Ed
I have 16 years teaching experience as well as extensive playing and touring experience in all styles and genres, which gives me the insight to know what is most important for really playing the instrument.
I attended Bucks County Community College and West Chester University. I also studied privately with
Ken Miller (Philly Pops Orchestra tympanist), John Alberti and Martin Bradfield.
I am currently a member of The Chuck Anderson Trio on the Dreambox Media Label. I am also a member of five other bands an
I have an extensive collection of books and videos that I draw from for my students, and to personally improve at my craft. This is not a sideline, or part-time job for me...this is my life, and my career!

Having been self taught till entering college I understand all ends of the spectrum. In my career I have come across three separate groups of musicians:
1) Those who have good ears, but can't read.
2) Those who read well, but can't play without music in front of them.
3) Those with great ears who also read well.
Number 3 is obviously the best of all possible worlds and what I strive to achieve with all my students. Being accomplished in both areas enables them to be prepared for anything they will come across, and gives them a distinct advantage over their peers.
*** Studio Equipment ***
I have a state of the art drum studio, beyond anything else I have ever seen, with everything from a top of the line V-Drum kit (electronic drums) and several acoustic sets that I rotate occasionally to keep interest level high. As opposed to many stores, schools and homes...there are no sax players in the next studio, no guitars blaring, no kids running around, no distractions! We only hear what we want to hear! It's so much easier to maintain focus on the task at hand.
One of the pluses of the electronic set is when a student is playing along with music, we can just plug an iPod, Kindle, whatever, into the system, dial in the perfect matching volume between music and drums...and not go deaf. No muss, no fuss, no headphones needed, unless the student wants them...I have plenty.
I am in my own building, so unlike many of the shoebox sized studios i have worked in, I have a lot of space (17'x22'), a waiting area for parents, and since it's one open area, if parents come in the building they are sitting in on the lesson. There is ample parking and I am conveniently located near a major intersection, and right next to a major shopping center (Wal-Mart, Staples. Weiss Supermarket, Pep Boys, etc.). In fact many parents go shopping while their children are taking their lessons. Some even walk! I'm that close.
I am also a Certified Plus drum dealer, so if students need some equipment, we can usually handle that too.
*** Specialties ***
I adapt my style to each student and usually hand write everything for quite awhile. There's a lot to cover and it enables me to break from standard procedure when beneficial. I play and teach all styles and genres, so I feel comfortable with pretty much everything.
I use numerous books for many different purposes well beyond the scope of what's listed below.

About Kevin W.Close
I offer a comprehensive program that can accommodate any student's specific needs or interests. It is important to me that the student learns to play the drums for the sake of a musical context, rather than focusing on technique. I teach technique as a tool for making music. I aim to teach people how to be musicians first and foremost, and how to be drummers second.

Dale Earnhardt Inc. press conference on merger
from the Brickyard
JEFF CHEW: Thank you, Ed. That was great. At this point in time, I'd like to invite up one of our very important partners in the Chevrolet camp in our NASCAR series, I would like to invite Max Siegel, along with Bobby Ginn, John Story, Jay Frye, Mark Martin and Paul Menard. They would like to take a few minutes and spend some time with you to talk about some interesting changes that are going on in that organization.
MAX SIEGEL: Good afternoon, everybody. Thanks to Ed and Terry and Brent and Alba and Pat and all of our friends at Chevrolet. We really appreciate you accommodating us on such short notice to share some exciting news with you guys today. We appreciate your interest in what we're about to talk about, and the only thing I want to say before we start talking about the exciting news is that we will not get into the business details of our merger that we had today.
I'm here, and I'm very pleased to announce to you guys that after long, arduous negotiations, we have merged with Ginn Racing, and we're happy to have Bobby Ginn here and Jay Frye and Mark Martin as part of our family. We sent out an announcement, and we want to open up the floor for questions you might have to fill in the details for that particular transaction.
With that, I would just like to open it up for you guys. We haven't had much going on at DEI this year, so we thought we would create a transaction to give you guys something to talk about.
Q: When did the negotiations actually begin and what was it that actually (inaudible) to get it started?
SIEGEL: I'll take a quick stab and pass it on. The question is when did negotiations begin and what was the catalyst to get it started. I think that Bobby will attest to this that we really started serious negotiations last Tuesday. Teresa and I met with Bobby in New York City. I've been familiar with Jay Frye and the organization for years; DEI has been in negotiations with MB2 over the years. It's been a stated goal of ours all along to get to a four-car program. We want to be a world-class organization; we want to get more efficiency involved. We wanted to have a facility where we could run a state-of-the-art race shop. When the opportunity presented itself last week we became hot and heavy in negotiations. I think all of us up on the stage have been living together 24 hours a day ever since.
BOBBY GINN: From our side, the catalyst was we were looking to continue to expand our operations. We had done well performance-wise early in the year, and we wanted to become a four-car team. So Max and I met with Teresa and John and Jay and were able to sit down and really compare what we had and what DEI had and what our goals and objectives were to build the very best we could build in a race team. It was a perfect fit. So from our side it was, you know, we saw an opportunity to elevate what we had worked all year to get to, to a higher level.
Q: For Mark Martin, Dale Jr. told me yesterday he was
thrilled to be able to be kind of working with you, and you'll certainly be
able to teach the young drivers. Can you talk about your role in all of this
and how you feel about it?

Brad Keselowski marks 1-year anniversary of famous tweet by calling for 'Miller Time' moments
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – It was the tweet read 'round the world.
Brad Keselowski changed the NASCAR social media landscape forever last year when, during a lengthy delay in the Daytona 500 for a fuel fire, he grabbed his phone and started tweeting. Showing agility and quick reflexes, Keselowski used his nimble thumbs to post pictures from the scene of the fire, answers questions from fans and give updates on the delay.
Those tweets gained him more than 100,000 followers on that night alone, and far exceeded his plan of being the first driver to tweet from Victory Lane.
"My goal at the start of last season, before Daytona even started, was to be considered a leader in social media," Keselowski said. "Ironically, the things I had set up to do were not nearly as big of a hit as the things I did not have set up to do. That tells you spontaneity is worth more than anything."
So Keselowski, the reigning Sprint Cup champion, is being careful about what he plans for this year and the expectations that are out there for him to continue paving the way for how drivers interact with fans through social media.
The only thing he's so far signed off on for this season is a promotion between sponsor Miller Lite and Fan Mosaics that kicks off Friday.
The promotion will give legal-drinking-age fans an opportunity to submit their favorite "Miller Time" moment with the best selections featured on the paint scheme of Keselowski's No. 2 Ford at the May 18 All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
As an incentive to participate, Miller Lite will donate $2 per submission up to $22,222 to Keselowski's Checkered Flag Foundation.
Keselowski, who will be tweeting about the promotion through its March 31 end date, thought this was a good fit that brings together the two most important elements of NASCAR.
"I am always looking for new creative things to do that can embrace fans and sponsors, and obviously be authentic and relatable to me," he said. "The biggest challenge we have in this sport right now is that our revenue is based off of two sources: one is sponsors, and two is our fans. So for anything we do, for it to be successful, both of them really need to be happy.
"You can't do things in this sport that only please one party. Putting together a program like this is one of the few opportunities I've been able to find that can satisfy both bases. That's what we need to do as a sport, that's how we are going to move forward as a sport."

The Green Monster at JetBlue Park
The Green Monster at JetBlue Park
Among the Fenway Park-like features at the Red Sox' new spring home is a replica Green Monster in left field of JetBlue Park.
Like the original Green Monster, this one has a hand-operated scoreboard that once actually fronted the wall in Boston.
Unlike the original, however, workers must adjust the scoreboard from the exterior using a ladder during stops in play.
The new Green Monster provides an entrance to the field for Red Sox players from their clubhouse.
David Ortiz walked back to the clubhouse past a mural of a Red Sox walk-off victory.
The numbers for the scoreboard are kept in an 8x8 room inside the Green Monster.
On top of the wall, fans are able to catch home runs hit during games and batting practice sessions.
There are seats in the wall that are protected by netting. Balls that hit the netting are live.
The wind can wreak havoc for fans sitting atop the wall.
And the Red Sox provide free sunblock to fans who sit atop the wall.
Fans sitting in the front row can lounge with their feet perched above the wall.
The view from atop the wall offers fans a glance at almost all corners of JetBlue Park.

A La Cañada Flintridge house once owned by Academy Award-winning actor Victor McLaglen has come on the market at $4.95 million.
McLaglen and his family named the home Fairhaven and lived there from 1929 to '44. The 1.9-acre compound includes the two-story main house with basement, a two-bedroom guesthouse and a pool house for a total of 7,642 square feet of living space.
McLaglen, who died in 1959 at 72, won his Oscar for "The Informer" (1935). He starred with John Wayne in "The Quiet Man" (1952), for which he received an Oscar nomination.
The property last changed hands in 1986 for $875,000, according to public records.

AVON -- A Dedham police officer has been arrested in connection with the disappearance of an 40-year-old man earlier this year.
Michael Schoener, 40, of Dedham pleaded innocent Wednesday in Norfolk Superior Court on a charge of accessory before the fact of kidnapping. Bail was set at $5,000 cash.
Prosecutors said Schoener gave his badge, handcuffs and empty holster to James Feeney, a 44-year-old Dedham man charged with masterminding the kidnapping.
Schoener has been placed on leave. "There are ongoing criminal and internal investigations under way," Police Chief Michael D'Entremont said in a statement.
Court records show that police are investigating the crime as a homicide.
Feeney and two other men, Scott W. Morrison, 46, of Norfolk and Alfred A. Ricci, 45, of Canton, had previously been charged in the New Year's Day abduction of James Robertson, 37, from his parents' home by two men posing as law enforcement officials.
Feeney is being held on $500,000 cash bail and Morrison and Ricci on $200,000 cash bail.

A smattering of members of acne.org have tried Dapsone, a prescription anti-inflammatory medication which is best known as an oral medication for treating leprosy but is also prescribed topically in 5% concentration by the brand name Aczone. When taken orally, Dapsone comes with a host of worrying side effects, but when administered topically for acne, patients tend to suffer very few side effects. That is all well and good, but from the research that is coming in, it doesn't seem to work very well, at least in the short term. Two studies have been performed recently on topical Dapsone. The first was a 12 week study which reported a 39% reduction in inflammatory acne. This is obviously not ultra-impressive, but when you consider that the placebo group experienced a 32% reduction, it becomes even less earth shattering. The second study was also a 12 week study which reported a 49% reduction in women and a 34% reduction in men. This is somewhat better news for women but the medication was still unable to even cut acne symptoms in half.
Longer term therapy: I spoke to a dermatologist a few years back who likes to prescribe Dapsone to her patients and claims that results only come after about the 3 month (12 week) mark. Therefore, I would like to see a study performed for a longer period of time.
Combination therapy: While Dapsone alone may not provide for sufficient clearing of acne, it may be prescribed alongside other drugs such as benzoyl peroxide or topical retinoids.
Have any of you guys taken Dapsone for longer than 3 months? How did it go?

A statement about the future of the Silver Springs attraction could be coming soon.
A statement about the future of the Silver Springs attraction could be coming soon.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection intends to schedule a public meeting in Ocala, likely sometime during the week of Dec. 10, to gather community input on how the land should be managed.
DEP spokeswoman Jennifer Diaz said the state has not finalized a deal to change or tear up the lease with Palace Entertainment, the California-based theme park operator that has run Silver Springs since 2002.
Nor, she added, is this upcoming session different from what the agency would do for any other state-managed property in Florida.
Still, this is DEP's first attempt to publicly gauge local sentiment on Silver Springs since Palace Entertainment first signaled a willingness to relinquish its lease nearly two years ago. And it is unlikely regulators would schedule such a public meeting unless a change were forthcoming.
On that point Diaz responded: "We're still in negotiations with Palace. An agreement or lease amendment does not have to be in place for us to hold a public meeting. The public meeting is for DEP to begin to gather input on what the community wants for the future of the land.
"We want to do what is best for the community, the environment and the employees," she said.
Jake Varn, a Tallahassee lawyer who represents Palace Entertainment, said in an email that he is not directly involved in the negotiations, and thus did not know what terms, if any, had been discussed.
He referred questions to Mike Friscia, a vice president with Palace Entertainment. Friscia could not be reached for comment.
In January 2011 County Commissioner Stan McClain, as the board's chairman, first revealed a plan for the county and the state to ease Palace Entertainment out of its lease, which expires in 2029.
At the time, the county proposed taking over the park from the contractor and spending about $6.3 million on improvements at the park over a three-year span.
Silver Springs' key attractions — the glass-bottomed boats and the winter concerts — would be retained.
County officials also wanted to add new features, such as swimming, snorkeling, diving and canoeing, in order to make Silver Springs an ecotourism destination.
Private vendors contracting with the county would provide those services, giving an economic boost of a projected 500 new jobs.
The plan stalled almost immediately, however, when Commissioner Carl Zalak and former Commissioner Mike Amsden objected. They argued that the state should run the park.
Joining McClain in support of the county's proposal was former Commissioner Charlie Stone, now a member of the Florida House.
The deadlock remained unresolved because Commissioner Kathy Bryant declared a conflict of interest. Her former husband is a senior executive at the park.
Ahead of the meeting next month, DEP officials reminded the public in a press release on Tuesday that the state would spend about $1.4 million to boost the water quality in the Silver Springs region.
Reiterating an earlier announcement from July, DEP said that $1 million of that amount would go toward a project — conducted in conjunction with Marion County and the St. Johns River Water Management District — to reroute treated wastewater discharged from the county's regional sewer plant in Silver Springs to one in Silver Springs Shores, some 10 miles from the spring's headwaters.
The project also entailed hooking up smaller wastewater treatment plants around Silver Springs to the main facility.

When computing costs dropped like a proverbial stone after 1970, it created a remarkable opportunity for businesses to improve operations and grow. Suddenly, "the guys in the basement" became the IT department, and the data center manager became a very powerful CIO. This new role wielded a large budget and incredible control as companies invested heavily in enterprise applications, immense data repositories and thousands of PCs.
That was then. This is now.
Cheap smartphones, tablets and apps mean users are buying their own devices and aren't happy with company-supplied PCs, software or BlackBerrys. Meanwhile, software-as-a-service applications let users bypass enterprise systems for cheap applications they can pay for out of their own budgets -- and prefer to use.

"Martin Luther King Jr.'s 'I Have a Dream' speech is considered one of the most recognizable collection of words in American history. It's the rhetorical equivalent of a national treasure or a national park. The National Park Service inscribed it on the Lincoln Memorial and the Library of Congress put it into its National Recording Registry. So we might hold it to be self evident that it can be spread freely. Not exactly. Any unauthorized usage of the speech and a number of other speeches by King - including in PBS documentaries - is a violation of American law. You'd be hard pressed to find a good complete video version on the web, and it's not even to be found in the new digital archive of the King Center's website. If you want to watch the whole thing, legally, you'll need to get the $20 DVD." I'm probably too young and too non-American to really fully grasp just how important Mr King was to a segregated America, but the fact that his influential and world-changing speeches are locked up because of copyright, as well as the fact that EMI is actually actively pursuing its copyright, is downright insane. If anybody ever needed even more proof the content industry is a vile, rotting, stinking and utterly putrid clump of pure, concentrated evil, this is it. Absolutely unbelievable.

RE: 'I Have a Cream'

Dear Sir/Madam
Regarding your claim to the phrase "I have a Cream", I find that this work is derivative of the Weeble Family's notable work "I have a Cheese", which as you will know was first performed in 1496.
My solicitors will in touch shortly to negotiate a settlement

Now this is a godly episode. If there's one word I'll use to describe this episode, it's "tense".
Just simply amazing.
Now, is this one gonna run for one cour, take a break, then comes back for the second cour? If so, is next week's the end of this cour?

The episode was as amazing as I had hoped it would be. The preview wasn't misleading at all for once.
Satsuki finally returns -- this time as an antagonist! The more I see of her, the less I like her. Her being the one who wrote the bad review (without visiting the inn of course; she had no qualms admitting she gave them a low score on someone else's orders (most likely the guys building that hot spring complex)) was an interesting twist. This revelation hit Ohana hard. She always made sacrifices so that her mom would have more free time, and all her mom did with that free time is fool around with dudes and write fake reviews. She doesn't even feel bad about it. At all.
Ohana's silent protest in front of Satsuki's workplace was pretty funny thanks to those banners (Matsumae Satsuki, regain your human heart! ). The face she was making was great too. Ohana is so lovable <3
As we thought, Glasses Girl became Ko's possible love interest. She's even confessed to him already, though he hasn't given her any answer yet. I think he's going to end up with her. Ohana realized she should give Ko an answer as well, I expect that to happen very soon. Despite the fact her feelings for Ko seem to have become stronger, I bet she's going to friendzone him.
All in all, an excellent episode. It blended light-hearted moments and drama very well, its atmosphere was very close to that of the first two episodes. There shouldn't be much complaints this week.
Oh, and the scenery was as gorgeous as ever. This is the TV series equivelent of a Shinkai film.

This was an epic episode. Imo, the best episode of the series so far actually, even better the opening two. Everything I envisioned in the series is beginning to unfold.
Conflict between Kissuoi's business operations, conflict between Ohana and her mom, conflict between Ohana's mom and her work, conflict between Ohana and Ko, conflict between Ko and the "book girl", conflict between Ohana and herself. Now in the PV it suggests conflict between Ohana and the "book girl", with a "goodbye" phrase by Ko, a pissed off Tooru and a jealous Minko.
So to the people who thought that romantic/shipping elements didn't exist in the show...
This is what I initially envisioned Hanasaku Iroha to be, not some same-old, generic slice of life that's going to focus on slice of life/comedy but something with a dramatic bang that explores the theme of coming of age. This episode delivered that in spades. Now, please for the love of god keep it up and not go back to the slapstick nonsense that was episode 3 and 7.

My video of this is fucking up everywhere for some reason, but watching the conflict between mother and daughter (de?)evolve from mere family matters provided great contrast on just how deeply embedded in Ohana her strong desire to become a person very much different from her mother. Perhaps the apple can fall far from the tree? In most cases she is much more similar to her grandmother than to her mother. Makes one wonder just how her mother grew up to be such a... well I'll reserve the terms to describe her until we get more back story.
As for Ko, I'm still in support of the underdog. Fight the powah Ko!

*Gapes* Minko is actually growing on me, now! (Never thought THAT would happen! She's been a bit too caustic for my taste.)
And Satsuki just sold out not only her pride as a reviewer, but her pride as part of her family. She's not supporting Ohana with her job anymore, so she can't use that as an excuse to get on her high horse (especially since she's undermining and sabotaging Ohana's job and current family).
So, she throws Ohana at Grandma at a whim, and then decry the work that Ohana and Grandma does in a national magazine, and then wont even apologize in private, but goes "I supported you doing this work!"? Fuck that. Someone should strew Legos on her bedroom floor, or better yet, super-glue them stuck so that she always will have to step on them in the middle of the night.
At this point I'm thinking that Satsuki sees herself as a victim of Grandma and Ohana, Grandma because she's strict, and Ohana because Satsuki raised her by herself, because if she cannot even privately apologize for smearing them in public without cause, then she must feel at least a sizeable chunk of resentment.
After watching the preview I want it to be next week already!

This is the reality. And this series didn't sugarcoat it by having Satsuki apologizing to anyone for her work. This is what I would do. I put in the hours to get the job done. I get my paycheck. I am not going to apologize to anyone for your moral issues as long as I am not breaking any laws. A job gives us a sense of responsibility, and we don't always have the luxury of keep searching for a job that will fit us. Sometimes, in the real world, we have to change ourselves to fit our job.
At the same time, even with all her failings, Satsuki still supports Ohana's own beliefs and the path she has chosen by bringing her snacks. Yes, the parenting style depicted here is a very adult, and a cold one, with no tears or hugs. Yet, who is to say that it's not the reason why Ohana has grown to be a headstrong and an independent teenager?

I really don´t know if I should feel bad or angry at the whole Satsuki thing. I mean, ....gosh, I can't even put it into words.
And how many times did Ohana cry this episode? I lost count. xD And what the hell are Minko and Tooru doing in Tokyo? O:
As for Ko. Why am I getting vibes that Ohana is now too late in coming to him? Or is that just my TooruxOhana shipper speaking?
And Tooru calls Ohana by her name in the preview and she asks him if he has a girlfriend. Oh wooow. xD; And Ko saying goodbye?!

However, I see nothing "mature" about an appalling lack of professionalism.
And that is what Ohana's mom is guilty of: A complete and utter lack of professionalism.
And really it's not even so much about how she's affecting Ohana as it's about how she's affecting tourists, vacationers, and other people looking for honest, professional, knowledgeable advice on what Inns to stay at.
Ohana's mom is doing a grave disservice to the people who read that magazine (the one Ohana was reading at the beginning of the episode) looking for sincere advice on which Inns are worth staying at. How many people may have cancelled vacation plans needlessly because of the overly negative reviews wrote by Ohana's mom?
What she's doing may not be illegal, but it's highly disingenuous, unethical, and unprofessional. It's no different, really, than a movie critic giving a harsh movie review without even bothering to watch the movie himself or herself. What would most people think of such a supposed movie critic?
But yes, there are people like Ohana's mom in real life. That is realistic. And this anime is presenting them realistically. I don't think this anime is defending them, though. Quite the contrary, if anything.
In the end, I expect that Ohana's more principled approach will win out over the approach of her mother, just as Ohana's more principled approach won out over the Management Consultant in previous episodes.
And Satsuki's job isn't the excuse for every failing on her part. Why not get the right Christmas present for her young daughter for example? It can't take all that much effort to pick up a sticker book instead of a teddy bear.
So, overall, I strongly disagree with you.
My views on Ohana's mom are very similar to Kanon's now.
I'll have more to say about the episode as a whole later. I will say right now though that I liked it a lot.

I'm at work, so I only skimmed the episode, but I'm just happy that things are moving forward. I find Ko hard to read so I'm not even going to speculate. The situation wasn't fair to anyone and I think Ohana realizes that now.
Personal shipping preferences aside, I really love Ko. "I just happened to be in the neighborhood." "In Tokyo?!"
Am I the only one amused by how many love triangles, squares, and polygons are now in this show? I'm feeling like my high school years were too peaceful...
Satsuki...is a horrible mother. I wonder how long she's been back in Tokyo?
Why are Tooru and Minko in Tokyo? I'm pretty sure that's the Kissuiso van. Minko's expression while Tooru tries to win a stuffed sushi doll is priceless. Tooru, stay away from claw games and gatcha machines! Those things are deadly!
All I have are questions! I want it to be next Sunday right now!

Ohana's seiyuu is amazing. TT.TT Her crying made me break down into tears. xD I'm such a wimp. But emotional stress that Ohana was feeling touched me.
Anyway, I was hoping for the entire episode that Tooru would be the one to find Ohana since she's always the one who goes to find him lol I don't mind that Minko was there too... Kind of. I'd prefer it if Tooru and Ohana were alone but since Minko was there too that just shows how worried she was about Ohana. Best friends forevaaa.
However the next episode's preview looks like they're staying in Tokyo for another day so maybe Tooru and Minko were out on business instead of looking for Ohana Whatever, at least they found her.

Tsukiyomi -Moon Phase-
a lot of things happen in this episode, it felt like it was kind of rushed. Kind of a surprise as Ohana's mother wrote the review. Thought it was the other female with her mother at the end of that episode who said she had work to do here. Maybe that women is from another company and gives better reviews and everything will be back to normal.

What you are saying is that you disagree with the profession she has chosen, not whether she is professional or not.
Again, there is nothing unprofessional or unethical about what she has done. The only thing Satsuki is guilty of is putting her own career above her kid's happiness. She might be a bad parent, maybe. But she is not unprofessional.

Unexpecteded Consequences by Andy Scheer

Wow, this post definitely hits the bull's eye. The power of suggestion is strong. If Christian authors create admirable characters who love and respect God and value His Word, then that will impress many readers more strongly than a sermon. Thanks for good examples of fiction affecting real life.

Great post Andy. Fiction has influenced my life many times. One stands out though above the rest. In high school, during a devastating personal crisis, I entered the library to lose myself 'in story'. Looking for the thickest book on the shelves, I chose Taylor Caldwell's, 'Dear and Glorious Physician'.
The bible and it's people came alive to me in a way as never before and I think it was then that a desire to become a medical missionary was seeded in me, as well as a voracious appetite for study of the word of God that remains with me today.

Great examples. One of my goals as a writer is to touch people through my characters and their struggles/victories. Jesus excelled at this. For example, what parent doesn't hope to respond like the father of the Prodigal if given the same situation?

Wow, Andy. This makes it worth the work, doesn't it? But of course, Solomon told us so when he said, "life and death are in the power of the tongue," which we know is words.
I saw a young man wearing a shirt a few days ago that said SON of ADAM, and knew he'd read Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia.
Diana: I love your story! How sweet of the Holy Spirit to lead you to that one book...

Wreaths in Windows
We loved the wreath in the window from Lindsey's Where to Wear Your Wreath. Hanging a wreath in a window lets if float a bit, with all eyes on its color and form.
We've hung wreaths in our windows before. Here's how we approached it. They were hung on the interior side of the window. We used the sash lock for hanging each wreath by a ribbon and allowed enough length to center each wreath in the bottom window sash. It was pretty simple, as it required no extra hardware for hanging. These examples have us wanting to do it again this year:
• 1 A boxwood wreath with four bows, centered just so, from Martha Stewart
• 2 This wreath, from a how-to at Ehow, uses magnetic wreath hangers like this to get the job done.
• 3 A fluffy white window wreath from Better Homes and Gardens.
• 4 This unique egg wreath is from Home Goods, via Bella Pink
• 5 Here's a large one hanging on the interior of the window, from Jonathan Craig

Gemco Coins & Jewelry has been around for nearly 25 years, and owner Greg Martin has been able to outlive his competition by following one simple rule: treat the customer the way you want to be treated. "I don't like being ripped off, just like everyone else doesn't like it," Martin said. "I decided a long time ago that I was going to do business the right way, be fair with people and build trust. That's the way I believe a business should be run."
Businesses open and close all the time. The successful ones treat customers fairly, and are blessed with repeat business.
Those are the cornerstones of Gemco Coins & Jewelry. In an industry where longevity is rare, owner Greg Martin has been around for nearly 25 years. Martin believes in �treat the customer the way you want to be treated, and they�ll be happy and come back.�
�I don�t like being ripped off, just like everyone else doesn�t like it,� Martin said. �I decided a long time ago that I was going to do business the right way, be fair with people and build trust. That�s the way I believe a business should be run.�
When you bring in your gold, silver, jewelry or even flatware to sell, Martin tells you what it�s worth and shows you what he will sell it for. There�s no guesswork involved, no wondering if you are getting a fair price � Martin is happy to show you.
A woman came in last week with some gold, and Martin offered her $55 for her small collection. She said someone down the street had just offered her $40, so she gladly accepted Martin�s offer.
�I don�t need to be greedy, and I am usually offering 20 to 30 percent more than others,� Martin said. �I was fair with her and she was happy � that�s all that matters.�
Examples of jewelry Gemco buys include rings � especially class rings � necklaces, earrings, chains and bracelets � new or broken, used or unwanted. Martin is interested in your gold, silver, platinum and costume jewelry, as well as sterling
silver flatware.
Martin also is looking for silver dollars dated 1935 and older and pre-1965 silver coins, including dimes, quarters and half-dollars. The prices you see in the blue box are what Martin is currently offering, but that could change.
�The exact price will change based on market fluctuations,� Martin said. �If you come into the store, you will get the exact, up-to-the-minute prices.�
Gemco Coins & Jewelry is located at 5311 W. Broad St., in the Saxton Real Estate building, just west of Norton Rd. Hours are Tuesday through Thursday, 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Friday, 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.; and Saturday, 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Call (614) 878-COIN (2646).
The prices for gold and silver may change, but not the level of trust or the tremendous service you receive from Gemco.

Indore: Opener Tanmay Srivastava scored a run-a-ball 103 while talented Bengal batsman Manoj Tiwary smashed a quick-fire 84 to help India Blue win the NKP Salve Challenger Series with a thumping 140-run victory over India Green here on Monday.
In reply to Blue`s challenging score of 287 for seven, the Greens were all-out for 147 in 36.4 overs. India discard Rudra Pratap Singh took three for 20 for the winners.
For the second day in a row, India Blue captain Yuvraj Singh opted to bat after winning the toss.
Srivastava and in-form Shikhar Dhawan (44, 51 balls, 4x6, 1x6) added 67 runs before the Delhi batsman was caught by Ravichandran Ashwin at deep square leg off Abhimanyu Mithun`s bowling.
Ajinkya Rahane (7) and Yuvraj Singh (12) were both dismissed off leggie Sarabjit Ladda. While Rahane mistimed a pull-shot, Yuvraj was done in by a googly.
At 118 for three, Srivastava was joined by Tiwary who was fluent from the onset, giving Srivastava a chance to score freely.
The centurion hit nine boundaries, while Tiwary hit seven fours and a six, adding 97 runs for the fourth wicket.
After Srivastava departed in the 41st over, it was Tiwary who single-handedly took the score close to 300 with some delightful strokes.
The Bengal batsman hit Mithun for a four and a six off successive deliveries before falling in deep.
When the Green team batted, they looked completely out of sorts as pacers Rudra Pratap, V Yomahesh and spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Piyush Chawla bowled well.
Robin Uthappa was the top scorer with 30, while S Badrinath, Kedar Jadhav, Aniruddha Srikkanth and Rohit Sharma fell cheaply.

Hong Kong Panda Bag
About Us
Hong Kong-based Morn Creations Limited raises the awareness of animal protection a stylish notch higher with its line of eye-catching, colorful and heart-warming animal-themed bags and accessories. As part of its advocacy campaign, the company takes a stand against the use of animal skins in their products, and uses alternative materials and fabrics instead.
Among its most popular products are the PandaRama bags and caps depicting the well-loved treasure of China in various whimsical designs. The animal collections also include the rabbit, dog, and devil bag series, all given a fresh, witty yet stylish spin.
Morn Creations hit the scene in 2001 with its initial offering of 60s and 70s-style household products and other items imported from northern Europe. By 2003, founder Steve Chan launched a wide mix of tote bags beginning with the popular "Ping Pong Boy", "Tennis Boy", and "Space Boy" series, all inspired by the design on a traditional 70s rice bowl.

Taurasi was the 2000 Naismith and Parade Magazine National High School Player of the Year. She completed her high school career ranked third (behind Giuliana Mendiola's 3,069 and Cheryl Miller's 3,446) in California state history with 3,047 points. Taurasi scored 12 points and earned MVP honors in the WBCA All-Star Game.
Taurasi was a two-time national player of the year (2003 and 2004), the first ever at UConn. She helped lead the Huskies to three consecutive national championships and four straight Final Fours. The Huskies won 139 of 147 games during her career. . . Taurasi was also a three-time Kodak All-American and became the first UConn women's player to score 2,000 points, get 600 assists and 600 rebounds. She completed her career with 2,156 points.
After UConn:Taurasi was the first overall pick of the 2004 WNBA Draft by the Phoenix Mercury, with whom she has won two league championships. She has also won two Olympic gold medals in 2004 and 2008. . .
She was the WNBA's 2004 Rookie of the Year and has an all-star multiple times. She led the WNBA in scoring in 2006 with an average of 25.3. . . In 2007 the Mercury won their first WNBA title. With this victory Taurasi became just the seventh player ever to win an NCAA title, a WNBA title, and an Olympic gold medal, joining three other Huskies, Swin Cash, Kara Wolters and Sue Bird. . . Last season, Taurasi was named the WNBA MVP and WNBA
Finals MVP after the Mercury's second title. Taurasi and Cynthia Cooper are the only WNBA players to an MVP Award, a WNBA championship and the finals MVP in the same season.
She has also had a lucrative international career, the last five years of which have been spent with Moscow Spartak, one of the most well-known teams in the Euro League. Following the 2010 World Championships, she will play in Turkey for the first time.Looking for time to rest
Seven years since graduating from the place she still calls "the greatest college there ever was," Taurasi can still get it done; no less the whirlwind she's always been on and off the basketball court.
"She is certainly one of the best players in our league," Connecticut Sun coach Mike Thibault said. "There is no question about it."
But she is getting tired after traveling the world without break since graduating from UConn in 2004.
And her body, her meal ticket, has been telling her lately that she should at least consider taking time to rest.
"You have to. There is no way your body is going to be able to function at that level for that long without getting it some time to rest," Taurasi said this week. "You are doing your career a disservice, in the long run, by continuing to play if you are hurt and tired."
This will not be a rash decision. For instance, Taurasi, 28, will be very much center stage tonight when the Phoenix Mercury play the Connecticut Sun at the Mohegan Sun Arena.
After the WNBA season ends, Taurasi will report to the US National Team, coached by UConn's Geno Auriemma, and begin training for the World Championships in the Czech Republic.
Once that's done, she will go to Turkey to begin the next phase of her international career after five lucrative seasons in Moscow, where she won championships and even more acclaim. Her team won four straight championships, Taurasi scoring 66 points in the semifinals and finals.
For now, Taurasi, 28, said she's taken a more serious approach to conditioning, after listening to the advice NBA stars like Phoenix's Steve Nash imparted to her. She began working with the personal trainer in Moscow last season and has continued with it back in Arizona.
Part of that was diet. She gave up fast food and nearly eliminated red meat. She finished the 2009 season at 154 pounds, almost 25 less than when she was at UConn.
"It has helped me focus better and I am in good shape, as comfortable as I've been on the court," Taurasi said.

But others see the festival as a microcosm of the larger tech-culture community, a place to preview things that may become mainstream in a few years and where trends that play out in downtown Austin are indicators of what's to come.
Which is why we wonder each year: Has the festival peaked? Will the irrationally app-exuberant bubble finally burst?
If SXSW Interactive doesn't keep growing at up to 40% every year, does that mean the tech industry is slowing down or that the festival itself has reached capacity? Or is it only the hype that has plateaued?
This year, some SXSW veterans feel the maturing festival, which began in the late 1990s, may have reached a saturation point, especially when it comes to startups trying to draw attention to new products. SXSW Interactive famously helped Twitter get off the ground in 2007 and gave apps such as Foursquare and Highlight a boost in recent years.
But as SXSW has gotten crowded, it's become much harder to stand out.
"I feel like people are having to put more effort because there's so much noise and so much going on," said Jennifer Sinski, an entrepreneur who runs RSVPster, which will auto-RSVP attendees to unofficial parties and events for a fee.
This year, Sinski said, "There's really no big app expected to launch, nothing huge people are excited for on the tech side."
That thought was echoed by a recent TechCrunch article wondering whether the era of big SXSW app launches may have passed.
Just days before the festival starts, there have also been no big blow-out events announced to rival 2012's American Express concert featuring Jay-Z, Bruce Springsteen's powerhouse gig or the party for the app Mobli that drew investors Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire to town.
American Express will still be at the festival, but it will likely keep a lower profile given it announced 5,400 job cuts in January. Microsoft is no longer a sponsor at Interactive this year, and the annual TechKaraoke event will be missing.
That being said, rumors that Justin Timberlake will perform continue to swirl and notables such as former Vice President Al Gore, entrepreneur Elon Musk, broadcaster Rachel Maddow and NBA star Shaquille O'Neal are part of the official programming. And this year's themes of private space travel, 3-D printing, hacker culture and crowdfunding, still feel forward-looking.
Hugh Forrest, the longtime director of SXSW Interactive, says a slowing of growth may actually benefit the festival, which in recent years has put a strain on Austin's infrastructure. Forrest says that based on registration so far, the Interactive part of the festival is expected to grow at a more modest rate of 5% to 8% this year.
"It's definitely not the sharper increases we've had in the last few years," Forrest said. "In many ways, that's a good thing. It gives us the bandwidth to work out some of the rough edges."
Some of the growing pains, especially in the festival's Startup Village and Accelerator (a kind of "American Idol" competition for startups), prompted the festival to expand its reach beyond Austin. In August, it will launch V2V in Las Vegas, a new SXSW Interactive conference focused on tech entrepreneurship.
It's one way SXSW is hoping to alleviate the hotel crunch and downtown congestion that happens here every March.
Stephanie Wonderlin, a senior manager and social strategist with Momentum Factor, will be attending Interactive for her third year. Last year, she hosted videos for Chevy, which was pushing its Volt vehicles to techies at the fest.
Wonderlin believes things have been quieter going into Interactive this year, at least from her perspective. "I keep asking myself, 'What do I feel is missing?' I don't know if it's me being snooty."
For 2013, she says her schedule has shifted from big parties to smaller gatherings and networking, a trend she's seeing among friends, some of whom aren't bothering to pay for a badge.
"I think the size and how big it's gotten were just so overblown that maybe people who have to be there now want to do things on their own. One person told me, 'I would rather grab a bottle of wine and head up to a rooftop with a small group of friends' than go to the big parties," Wonderlin said.
"A lot of people I know who are big company sponsors say they're not even going to any of the sessions. I think the purpose of SXSW has changed."
Sinski, who's been going to SXSW Music for eight years and became more interested in Interactive as she launched her company, says that people who use her service are less interested in hype and big stars than they are in free food, real networking and companies that have something unique to show.
"Spending a lot of money isn't as big a deal as it was two or three years ago," she said. "Now it's about what you can offer people."

Understanding CD4 Cells and CD4 Cell Tests
August 5, 2015
The Basics
Your immune system protects your body by fighting germs and infections. White blood cells are an important part of your immune system. HIV infects and destroys a type of white blood cell called a CD4 cell (sometimes called a T-cell).
As the immune system loses CD4 cells, it becomes weaker and is less able to fight off germs. When it loses a large number of CD4 cells, people living with HIV (HIV+) are at risk of getting AIDS-related opportunistic infections (OIs), which are infections that can cause serious illness or death.
The number of CD4 cells you have gives a picture of the health of your immune system. A normal CD4 cell count is about 500 to 1,500 cells per cubic millimeter of blood (a cubic millimeter is a very small amount, about one drop). The number of CD4 cells a person has -- their "CD4 count" -- usually decreases as HIV disease gets worse. Your CD4 cell count can help your health care provider tell if your HIV disease is getting worse, and if the treatment you are taking is working well.
CD4 Count and HIV
Without HIV treatment, HIV infects and destroys more and more CD4 cells. As the CD4 count goes down, people living with HIV becomes more likely to develop OIs and cancers.
CD4 Count and HIV Treatment
There are several different organizations and institutions that make recommendations about when to start HIV treatment. The British HIV Association, US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and WHO treatment guidelines now recommend treatment for all people living with HIV, no matter what their CD4 count.
The DHHS treatment guidelines state:
Many people see their CD4 counts increase when they start effective HIV treatment. If the drugs succeed in slowing or stopping HIV, fewer new CD4 cells will be infected and your CD4 count may go up. However, your CD4 count can also go down again if you stop taking your HIV drugs correctly, or if your HIV becomes resistant to the drugs. Along with your viral load, your CD4 count is a very valuable tool for monitoring your HIV infection and how well your HIV drugs are working.

A media report says an underground explosion has caused damage in downtown Detroit.
DETROIT (AP) ? An underground electrical explosion Saturday morning in downtown Detroit caused damage and disruptions but no injuries, authorities said.
The city's Homeland Security and Emergency Management reported the explosion happened at an underground electrical substation in the central business district. Police say the blast caused manhole covers to shoot into the air. Streets were blocked and buildings were locked down in the immediate area.
The Detroit Fire Department and utility DTE Energy are investigating.
Detroit Police said two officers on patrol heard the loud blast and found a manhole cover that was ajar. Several residents of Washington Boulevard Apartments say they heard the blast or saw its effects.
"All up and down the alley, the covers started blowing up and the lights were flickering and the elevator stopped working," Diane Hudson, who watched from her sixth-floor window, told The Detroit News.
Detroit resident David Crumbie said he was sitting in a park next to his bike with a friend at the time of the blast, which knocked the chain off his bike.
"Blond smoke just came out of the ground below us," he told the newspaper. "It was a big boom like a bomb."

research efforts of an inspired New Zealander, Graeme Henderson.]
John and his wife are staying with a French enthusiast of aeronautical history, Stéphane Malbos, who was responsible for publicizing the Dickenson story, years ago, at a time when few Australians were aware that this revolutionary invention—giving humans the power to glide like eagles—had been made in 1963 in Grafton, New South Wales... which happens to be the rural town where I was born in 1940.
This weekend, Stéphane will be taking John Dickenson along to France's annual high mass of hang gliding: the Icarus Cup pageant in the nearby town of St-Hilaire-du-Touvet, which presents all kinds of exotic variations on the hang-gliding theme.
you can find amusing images of hang-glider specimens.]
This morning's encounter with John Dickenson was immensely moving. I sensed immediately that I was in the presence of a man of imagination, a quietly-spoken inventor of the Leonardo da Vinci kind. It's sad to learn that a tiny bunch of jealous loud-spoken usurpers, some of whom have money and influence, have been advancing empty arguments in an evil attempt to deprive John Dickenson of the honors in aeronautical history that are his due.

Loremaster Bilian newly sponsored by Cell-Tech HARDCORE has decided to make a return for World of Warcraft Mists of Pandaria!
I plan on making a return to World of Warcraft and make a huge impact in the arena scene in Season 12. While I feel the skillcap has been significantly lowered over the last few patches, I feel there's still room to outplay worse players. It's time to put one season heroes in their place!
Since I realize that there are a lot of new individuals to the game, I figure a short bio is in order. I've been playing this game since early 2005, went from mostly PvE (Nightmares Asylum Molten Core to top 10 4 Horseman kill prior to 41 point talents. To Aurora on Mal'Ganis where we managed to down Illidan 15th in the world) I then mostly focused on Arena where I managed to obtain gladiator every season until I quit. All of my R1 titles were obtained with my best and favorite partners: Kigz & Abn. I can multi-class just about every single class and obtained Gladiator on my (2x)Warrior, (3x)Druid, Paladin and (2x) Warlock at one point or another. I gained most of my notoriety by holding Rank 1 on SK-Gaming for over 10 months when me and Rexsteele (Kigz) set the bar for what is obtainable prior to inflation: we hit 2944 within the first week of a new season as Priest/Rogue and never had to play another game; we were the reason Blind and Fear were put on the same DR.
I'll be streaming at least 2 times a week; I hope you guys can tune in and watch me dominate Season 12!
My stream: http://www.twitch.tv/b1lli4n

See you guys soon!
