I teach beginner cello primarily using the Suzuki books, but supplement with other materials when needed. My students work on scales and rhythm constantly to improve their tone and musicality as well as technique. I teach classical, religious, fiddle, and more. I also teach group ensembles, trios, quartets, and I work with students on their school orchestral and audition pieces.
About Erin
I began teaching beginner to advanced Violin and Viola in April of 2001 in NC. I moved to California in the fall of 2008. Since moving to California I have extended my teaching to beginner Piano and Cello also. I have taught students ages 3 to 87 how to play and enjoy music on a personal level. My experience includes leading sectionals for middle school orchestra, organizing and instructing small ensembles, and organizing student recitals. Student recitals I arranged once or twice a year to showcase the
I teach because I love music and I believe God has given me a gift. Playing and teaching help me to use my talent for His glory. I love working with people and I love how music enables people of all ages to open up and express themselves in a positive way, no matter what life throws their way. I believe music teaches discipline, builds self esteem; helps set and achieve goals; and positively affects and enhances other curricular endeavors.
My teaching philosophy is to always have fun while learning, to set attainable goals for the student, to learn through encouragement and discipline, and to help students come to love music on a personal level. I focus on the character of each student and their goals and desires to see that the student and/or parents are satisfied. Teaching is a privilege for me that I do not take for granted.
*** Lesson Details ***
I offer half hour, forty-five minute, sixty minute lessons, or longer on a weekly basis, but I do Not offer bi-weekly lessons. My lessons begin with the fundamentals of music. I believe a firm foundation in rhythm and reading is important because a student may switch musical instruments one day and the basics are universal and necessary. I have a deep love and appreciation for music which I hope to instill in my students as well. I am strict in the sense that I like students to polish their pieces before moving on. I like to keep them focused on playing well, not just playing.
A typical lesson will begin with scales to warm up, a review of the previous week's material, and a new assignment. Students will memorize pieces, be proficient in scales and rhythms, and all the while laughing and having a great time. I am known with my students for my creative analogies and flexibility to try new things in order to adapt to the students strengths and weaknesses. My students look forward to coming to their lesson, and that is very rewarding as a teacher.
I primarily use the Suzuki method for Violin and Viola, because it offers progressive steps to mastering technique, style, and musicality. My curriculum includes the use of Winning Rhythms, Wohlfahrt studies, All for Strings Theory, Essentials for Strings, and many more beginner and advanced studies; including shifting and double stops.
I love music and I love working with people; teaching is just icing on the cake. I look forward to helping you achieve your goals and discover your talents and I hope we can learn together. I look forward to meeting you!
*** Studio Equipment ***
Music Stand and Keyboard
*** Travel Equipment ***
I expect the student to have their instrument, and necessary accessories ie: rosin, shoulder rest, strings, books, and music stand.
*** Specialties ***
I teach Music on Violin, Viola, and Piano, as well as beginner cello. I am very creative in my teaching methods, though I use the Suzuki Method primarily for string instruments. I believe learning should be fun. I teach all the fundamentals of music from the beginning: counting rhythm, scales, reading music, theory.

About Karen D.Close
View Full Profile
A bowed or plucked string instrument with four strings tuned in perfect fifths. The strings from low to high are generally tuned to C2, G2, D3 and A3, an octave lower than the viola. It is a member of the violin family of musical instruments, which also includes the violin and viola and the double bass. The cello is used as a solo musical instrument, as well as in chamber music ensembles (e.g., string quartet), string orchestras, as a member of the string section of symphony orchestras, and some types of rock bands. It is the second-largest and second lowest (in pitch) bowed string instrument in the modern symphony orchestra, the double bass being the largest and having the lowest (deepest) pitch. My lessons always start out with the basics! We start out by learning notes by plucking the strings and then the bow is soon incorporated. The goal is to eventually learn all the notes on the fretboard and also learning how to read and play chords. As the student progresses ...

It is completely untrue that some people are "born to sing or play an instrument" while others are not. Using my method, the most "tone de
It all started out in a small town called Chatham, NJ where I spent the first thirteen years of my life. I remember loving music as early as I could walk and talk. I started taking guitar lessons when I was seven years old. Along with the guitar, came a love for singing and writing my own songs. When we moved to Pennsylvania the guitar came with me. Throughout my high school years, I spent hours playing with teachers, fellow students and at parties.
When I was sixteen every week for three years I would drive an hour into Philadelphia, by myself, to study with world famous Artie Singer. His students include such names as Chubby Checker, Frankie Avalon, Al Martino, and Bobby Rydel. Artie co-wrote and produced two massive hit records "At the Hop" and "Rock 'n Roll is Here to Stay," both recorded by Danny and the Juniors. Artie was personal friends with Dick Clark and would bring him acts for his show.
While going to a Community College in Philadelphia the music teacher there took notice of me, pulled me aside, and told me about a great music school I should attend. He then sent away for the application and helped me fill it out. The next thing I knew I was in Boston attending Berklee School of Music! I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in Jazz and Rock Composition, Arranging, and Guitar.
I had originally gone to Berklee intending to major in voice, however I had no luck with the vocal department there and ended up with nodules on my vocal cords. The damage was so significant that I had to stop singing during my four years at Berklee and turned to studying Guitar and Composition.
I tried every vocal teacher in town wanting more than anything to be a singer. What I found was no teacher could help me and it seemed obvious that even though they had the "big name" they didn't know what they wt. I was losing hope. The combination of this roadblock and my persistence led me to the greatest thing that ever happened in my life....... I met Dante Pavone!
I kept hearing about a singing teacher named Dante Pavone. Since I had already tried everyone else, I decided to give him a shot. On my first lesson with Dante I noticed a big difference. My throat didn't hurt at all and a real voice was coming out of me. I was cured!
Dante's studies were extensive and he had doctorates in voice, music history, psychology and many other subjects. He was the most intelligent; insightful person I have ever met in my life and not only taught me about voice but taught me many things about life. He one time told me that he had a more profound knowledge of all the fine singing muscles than anyone else.
Dante was the first; a "pioneer" in popular singing, breaking from the traditional operatic style. He taught, or was contacted by, such singers as John Lennon and Paul McCartney (Beatles), Mick Jagger (Rolling Stones), Aretha Franklin, Grace Slick (Jefferson Airplane), Steve Tyler (Aerosmith), Peter Wolf (JGiles Band), James and Livingston Taylor, Faye Dunaway, Tom Jones, Donna Summers, Jonathan Richman, Julianna Hatfield, Andy Pratt, at their prime and the list goes on and on. Once John Lennon and Paul McCartney showed up unannounced at his door handing him a blank check! Singers from New York City Opera Company used to sneak away from their teachers and come to Boston to study with Dante who would cure their wrecked voices from their famous opera teachers they had in NY. Best Singing Teacher in the World!
I studied with Dante every day for the first couple of years and then two or three times a week after that for fifteen years until his demise in 1998. I never missed a lesson! He gave me over a four-octave range where I started with only a five-note one. Not only did he improve my pitch and tone, but I can now sing and scream all night, if I want to, and never have a single vocal problem. In fact the more I sing the better my voice feels!
One day at my lesson Dante asked if he could pass his method down to me. This has been a great honor to me and although many teachers try to emulate his method I am the only one with a certificate as seen above. Not only was Dante my mentor, but still to this day he is the most important person I ever encountered in my life and was my best friend. We were very close and he would spend hours talking to me at lessons not only about music but about many fascinating subjects and opened my eyes to many incredible things.
Thirteen of my songs were chosen to be in one movie called Getting Personal and other songs in the movies Fillbilly and Dykeotomies. My band has won world contests.
I have also studied piano, guitar, and drums extensively and teach all instruments. I studied for years with late great world renowned Charlie Banacos and John Horrigan. Besides teaching I am a songwriter, dancer, actress, film maker, audio engineer and producer as well. I can help you record your songs!
Since 1982 I have written hundreds of songs and have been performing and recording my own music in major New England and New York venues. I've also won awards for my band "Girl on Top."
If a teacher tells you breathing is not important you should be concerned. Let me help you to develop solid breathing and correct singing posture. An instrument only sounds as good as it's built. As we build your instrument your range, strength, resonance and stamina all improve. There is no end to how good you can get.
All Styles
The greatest thing about this method is it does not give you a style. You develop your own style! The student brings in songs they want to work on. Pop, rock, hip-hop, alternative, country, progressive, blues, jazz, swing, broadway, folk, rap, r+b, gospel, hardcore, screaming at the top of your lungs (if you want to).
All Levels
I teach all ages and presently have students from three years old to students in their seventies. Beginners to advanced, adults to elderly, children, kids, and pre-school. Dante taught me that I can improve a person's life by teaching them music. He's certainly improved mine. I hope you will let me help to improve yours.
Vocal Therapist
My method is guaranteed to cure any and all vocal problems or damage you may have from singing or talking: nodules, pitch, range, tone, endurance, etc.
Sing with no break
Have a smooth, multi-octave range. Sing any note the way you like: high or low, hard or soft.
No end to how you can improve
As long as you practice using this method, there is no limit as to how you can improve your range, tone, strength, flexibility, vibrato, phrasing, etc. Let me help you transcend fear, anxiety, and stage fright and replace it with technical ability and self-confidence.
Coaching and Stage Presence
We work on songs that the student brings with them to lessons. Using acting techniques, I help them understand the true meaning of the song and how to convey it to an audience.
Guitar Lesson
Learn easily the basics of rhythm, notes and chords. Start with the basics and move into learning to play songs that you love. Incorporate learning to sing and play guitar on your favorite tunes. As the student becomes more confident the lessons move into learning advanced voicing, improvisational techniques and chord solos. All styles, all levels, all ages.
Piano Lessons
Whether you are a beginner or an advanced professional, any age is welcomed. Learning to play the piano can be lots of fun and very rewarding with practice, persistence and the proper instruction. Learn easily the basics of rhythm, notes and chords. In the first lesson you will be able to play with both hands. As you continue lessons it will be fun and exciting to learn to play popular piano pieces. The more advanced student will have fun learning to improvise and play chord solos.
Drum Lessons
Learning to play the drums is really easy and fun with my method! Start by learning how to hold the sticks and position yourself at a full drum set. At the end of the first lesson you will be able to play beats. With each lesson new beats, styles and exercises will be added. As you get more advanced the student can bring in songs they want to learn. This method is perfect and easy for any beginner or more advanced student.
Bass Lessons
The bass is what holds the rhythm of the band together and provides the foundation and bottom for the chord structure. The student is taken in a step by step method that is easy to understand starting with learning basic notes, rhythms and finger exercises. As the student becomes more advanced they can bring in songs that they would like to learn. All styles, ages and levels.
Ear Training
Developing your ear is essential for any serious musician. We start by learning to sing simple melodies and rhythms and as the student progresses move to more challenging ones. Also incorporated will be learning notation and chord and pitch recognition.
Song Writing
Learn to write songs like the pros. Karen D. has written over two hundred and fifty song. Let her expertise help you learn the secrets fast. We will work on song structure, theory and lyric writing.
Theory and Arranging
Karen D. is an honorary graduate of Berklee School of Music in Boston. There she acquired a degree in Jazz Composition and Arranging. She will teach you about notes, intervals, scales, chord structures and how chords work together. Also, you will learn how to arrange a song by adding drums, bass, guitar, horns, strings and whatever your heart desires.

Karen made the lesson fun and highly personalized. Karen wanted to know about my current skills and what I wanted to achieve. She then based our lesson play on this information. Excellent!
I don't know how much you remember of me, but you were my favorite voice teacher! I adore/d you and hope all the best for you! I used to walk across Copley Square to your studio for my classes. I remember vividly and I also remember my homework. I will always recommend you highly. Next to my band director you were always my best teacher. Know what? Love you Karen! You are the best! I wish every great thing for you.
Karen is an amazing teacher. She's patient, hard-working and dedicated. She has a lot of musical background experience and knowledge. She's also a cool person!
In American Idol, Haley did great on her solo, clearly the best. I was really impressed I hope you are doing well…we will see you at the next lesson.
Karen is a great teacher. She is extremely patient and encouraging. She also has a great method in building up strong muscles for singing. When I first met her, I could barely match the notes. She encourages me all the time and guides me through the tough period. Now I can match up to High C. She is also very great at Guitar, and has a very good way teaching. I really love her.
Thank you so much for the encouragement. I didn't get much of it when I was growing up that's probably why I never put any effort in pursuing my dream of becoming a musician. I am going to use your time for deeper understanding. I wasted a lot of time in the past I could of been much more educated by now if only i would of had focused and pushed myself. Our time together made me realize many things about myself what i should have done in the past and that I'm very impatient that's probably the main cause of why i never bothered learning anything worth learning... I admire people like yourself who encourage artists to do what they love. Thanks again.
Karen is an awesome teacher with patience and excellent methods to help people sing. She taught me the singing techniques and mostly importantly gave me confidence to face my weakness and sing once more. Patient, nice, and remarkable capability.
Thank you for being such a great teacher and friend!
Thanks for all your help. It has been a revelation.
I finally took your advice and have been doing my practicing every day. As a result, my choir director, Wendy, came up to me after the service and said, "you might become the lead soprano singer if you keep working with that singing teacher of yours, Karen.
Back from a week in New England...great trip...both reunion shows went very well...the audiences loved them. Thanks for your help in getting my voice ready. We had five hour rehearsals last Monday and Tuesday, and then shows on Wednesday and Thursday. My voice was stronger Thursday night than any of the three previous nights. That's a tribute to you and Dante, and I am grateful. Take care, and let's stay in touch...
Thank you for all you've taught me. I know your way is the real way. I hope to have the opportunity to learn more from you in the future. You're the best!
Hey Karen! How are you? I'm over that horrible sickness. I went to rehearsal tonight and what's coming out of me keeps getting better. Just the look on everyone's face was awesome. More importantly I can finally express everything inside me. Thank you so much! The only problem I have is when my back get's tired. After an hour it get's tough. There's so much I want to go over with you. I'm your biggest fan! Thanks is not enough.
I know with the voice and lessons it can be like anything else one needs to improve, two steps forward one step back. However, I have to tell you, I have really made a breakthrough in the last week, starting last Thursday. For some reason "all of a sudden" my voice is stronger, clearer, I don't get hoarse as quickly, I can sing longer and "harder"/higher, my voice isn't so raspy the next morning, on and on. Yeah -- the lessons are really working, as I believed they would. Bless you and the spirit of Dante.
I threw Dante's name into the search engine and found you. My sister, Tina Sanderson, quit high school in 1967 and moved from long island to Boston and found Dante. I was at Berklee at the time for flute. I was amazed what he did to her already fabulous voice! When Grace Slick (Jefferson Airplane/Starship) went to prison, they asked Tina to fill in, but decided not to do anything until Grace was out. Unfortunately, two days before recording for Irwin Levine (tie a yellow ribbon....) she died in a car accident. Anyway, I am very happy to see that Dante's message is not lost with the Master. i will keep you in mind for anyone wanting the best techniques.
Hello Karen, I found your site through a google search of Dante. I was thinking about him and thought I'd see what I could find. Yours was the first site that turned up and I was very happy to have found it. Even back in 1981 and 1982, when I was with him, Dante was looking for a successor. I'm very glad to have found you. I am also a bit envious that you were wise enough to stay with him until the end. It was my every intention to do that, however, as a teen at the time on my own living in Boston, I let certain emotional issues cloud my judgment and left Dante in 1982 and came back to New Jersey. I must say that I was filled with sadness to find that Dante passed in 1997 and that I made no effort to contact him or study further before that time. What an opportunity it was ever to have met the man! I was with him for a year and applied his method for many years after. I've recently gotten back more into singing, I am a guitarist as well, and probably would want to start lessons with you. I was a voice major at Rowan University for a year and half, but actually would rather study by Dante method. Dante was very dear to me. I loved him very much. The year with him was one of the best times of my life with some of the fondest memories.
Hi Karen glad you had a great gig. Nothing was touching the pain, but when I sing it is so intense it doesn't matter. I didn't sleep at all last night, and I felt like crying! I went to my second project today and I think there is an ungodly potential there. I did a little recording last night (just me) so you could hear what you never hear in lessons. I am the singer I always wanted to be thanks to you and I know it's only going to get better! Oh well for now it's ice hot bath and rest.
Karen, even though it was sort lived, coming to you for lessons was one of the best things I've done. It's really gotten me back on track. Dante's scales are so balanced. I was getting into really bad habits especially with the e vowel. With those exercises I'm now placing the e vowel where it should be. I can sing all night again and feel nothing in my throat. When I went to university, the vocal scales weren't balanced. Dante's balances the e's with the ah's and when you got that, you've got it all. This is how I remember it as it used to be. As I said before, I'll be back.
Thank you so much for your wonderful lesson with great encouragement. You are the best music teacher I could ever imagine. How I wish I had met you earlier.
Karen is a wonderful, sensitive, teacher, who will work with you no matter what style of singing you prefer. For over 6 years I have taken voice from her and my range and confidence increased by leaps and bounds!
Karen is a committed, dedicated and extremely talented teacher. The unique techniques I learned in studying with her have greatly improved my singing, the quality of my voice, and my range is far greater. I am able to sing notes I would not have thought possible. Karen loves what she does and every lesson has been an extremely enjoyable learning experience.
Dear Karen, I wanted to thank you for teaching me. I'm very happy that I decided to take lessons with you and I was able to achieve my goal. Before I came to you I was not happy with my singing when I hit Bb above middle C and up, but I feel more comfortable with those notes after the lessons with you, and of course, doing the exercises and scales does wonders. You even got me to vocalize an octave above that Bb and beyond in less than six weeks. What I learned was so precious because it's not something you can learn by reading, but it's something I could only learn by actually having someone coach me in physical coordination. It was a very interesting experience and a hard work. I sing almost everyday, so I do notice the difference in my voice from day to day. Thank you so much.
Karen has been an amazing teacher. I have taken piano, guitar and voice lessons from her for over the past year. I had no prior musical knowledge (or native ability) but yet within 4 months she coached me through preparation for a show singing and accompanying on guitar. While I have much to learn I feel that Karen, with her dedication to her students and wonderful teaching ability, has truly helped me to succeed beyond my wildest expectations.
Dear Karen, So happy to see you're still doing great..I could never in words express my gratitude towards you for teaching me about music, life, and piano..(as well as the wonderful course for drums and everything else) Thank you.
HI Karen, Thank you so much for being such a great mentor and friend of mine:) Thanks for inspiring and encouraging me all the time. Love you.
Thank you so much for your wonderful lessons with great encouragement. You are the best music teacher I could ever imagine. How I wish I had met you earlier.
Hey, "Coach" -- hope this finds you well. We played two shows in Vermont two weekends ago, and my voice was excellent. I've been diligently doing my scales, my stretching exercises, and singing rock songs about 45 minutes a day since the book launch party last August, and it really paid off. I sang lead on two songs I couldn't even reach last summer. And I sang our "signature" song, "All Along The Watchtower" probably better than I ever sang it back in the 60s and 70s. My voice held up through two rehearsals, two sound checks, and two shows, and was stronger at the end than at the start. In fact, we had a jam session after the second gig and I sang "Superstition" by Stevie Wonder and I have never been able to do that one. So, thanks to you and our dear, departed Dante.
Just wanted you to know that I have continued to work on what you taught me with excellent results. This past August, at the book launch party, I sang lead on a song which I could not do in 2010 (and I could hardly have done any of my leads in 2010 without your help). In the six months since the book launch party I have done all my breathing exercises every day, except one single day, without fail. The result has been that as I sing along with records (which I do about 4-5 days a week) I can now do about a dozen leads on songs I sing with regularly, which I couldn't do six months ago in August. All this stuff re the voice is only to say a HUGE THANK YOU for your help and your teaching. Clearly, the Dante method works for geezers, also. I am amazed at what I can sing that I couldn't get to a year ago, or even 6 months ago. Plus, a couple of weeks ago I sang 11 days in a row (45 to 60 minutes each day) with no problems at all. It's so much fun to be able to really sing again...:-)
I'm not sure if you remember me but I took web lessons with you about a year an half ago. Life, however got in the way, and I had to stop. My schedule is now much freer, and I happen to once again be on the same time zone that you are on. I was hoping to begin taking vocal lessons with you again. You are by far the best vocal teacher I have ever had, and my voice really misses your training.
i am happy to tell you about my experience and opinion of Karen. i have been taking voice with her since 1996. I starting to sing in a choir as a soprano at my old church. i struggled to hit the notes and in doing so was straining my vocal chords. i went online to read about strained vocal chords and got scared when i read that they sometimes get nodules a need surgery. i decided i wanted to learn proper technique and searched for a vocal teacher. i read Karen's bio and discovered that she too had suffered strained vocal chords and got relief through Dante Pavone's method of teaching, and now she is certified to teach the same method. Since i started with her i have no problem in my throat and i sing way better. Even my body looks better because the exercises that the student does strengthen the lower back so that it can support the ribs properly and has given me a better figure. i still sing in a choir at my new church and i have gotten many compliments on my voice from many people. At this point i will tell you that i do not practice all of the breathing and scales as often as i am supposed to due to my being a wife and mother of two teenagers, which keeps me very busy and running. That said, i still have made great progress with Karen.
Another more personal note is that a person would be hard-pressed to find another human being as loving as Karen. She's very caring beyond just voice lessons. My husband has been taking drum lessons from her for three years now and he feels the same way about her, and he doesn't usually trust people easily. Karen is very well educated and very intelligent. She is a tough but kind teacher. She watches her student like a hawk and doesn't miss a trick. She corrects gently and never makes you feel badly about yourself. She's very encouraging. i try never to miss a lesson, because i always leave there in a better mood than when i arrive.
i hope this helps you to decide. You may think...whats with all of this breathing and posture? Trust the technique. it really works without pain or strain of the vocal chords, which means you can sing for the rest of her life and not just a couple years and have to quit due to nodules.
Forty years ago I was a lead singer in a New England rock band and I was tearing my throat up. I was hoarse after every gig and regularly lost my voice entirely after two or three nights. Then I became a pupil of Dante Pavone in Boston and a remarkable transformation occurred. Dante's method was hard work, and it depended on following his advice precisely. But working with Dante I was able to correct my bad habits, improve the clarity, quality and range of my voice. I could go seven nights in a row and not lose my voice. Forty years later my band is getting back together for several reunion shows, but I have not sung professionally since 1971. Fortunately, I found Karen, a protégé of Dante's, and took webcam internet lessons (she is in Boston, I in Virginia). All the benefits of the Pavone method re-appeared. I gained back three octaves on my range and my clarity, strength and pitch all greatly improved. The Dante Pavone method is still as great as ever and Karen is the ideal voice coach to teach it – a perfect blend of encouragement and pushing.
Saturday, for the first time after studying with you for over three years and not practicing, i forced myself to do what you have been telling me all along: to practice. The next day my husband came to the early church service with me and told me that when the choir sang the "anthem", which is our main piece in the service, that he could really hear me and that i sounded really good. Then i had another small rehearsal afterwards with the choir for a new piece for future. After that i was walking down the hall to leave and my choir director caught up to me and said, "You are sounding really good!" i said, "Really?" She affirmed, so i told her it was because my singing teacher is telling me i had better start doing my breathing exercise so i finally listened. She said it was paying off. Today i plan to do all 30 of each again. As much as i don't understand why it makes so much of a difference, i now know it works and i know also that you are a very smart and driven person and that you would never steer me wrong. so thanks.
I called my brother (he used to back up Taj Mahal) to ask about when Grace Slick studied with Dante. When my sister was studying his method I met Dante once or twice. At the time I was making costumes for the New York City Opera Company and was one of Beverly Sill's dressers. Dante kept saying that Beverly was going to blow out her voice. I remember that several opera singers used to sneak away from their appointed vocal coaches in NYC to catch some time with Dante. Dante would have to cure all the vocal problems that their so called "famous" NY coaches were giving them.
I was thinking about Dante recently. I just got a gig in Switzerland coming up in April and even though I'm a sax player (Berklee alumnus) I will be singing a concert there. I pulled out all of my old hand written Dante notes and oddly I realized the system and its ease after twenty years. What I'm saying is "voila" now it all came back to me and I'm singing with a fair amount of ease up into my head, stretching my range and feeling really great. Anyway, I googled his name and your name came up associated with Dante's, and rightfully so. I was always amazed by him, but now I'm amazed at what he was always trying to tell me even though he saw me as a great student. I know that one website that came up under someone's name (associated with him) mentioned that he had passed away. I think he was 76 when he taught me. I remember he mentioned your name to me many times in the 80's. I moved to LA after Berklee and I talked about him with the highest respect and felt very lucky to have studied for a long time with a genius and true master of the human anatomy. Keep up the good work! I just wanted to say hello and let you know that I'm glad you're carrying on his legend.
Thanks for your help in getting my voice ready. We had five hour rehearsals last Monday and Tuesday, and then shows on Wednesday and Thursday. My voice was stronger Thursday night than any of the three previous nights. That's a tribute to you and Dante. I am grateful.
Karen I have to tell you I have really made a breakthrough since I started studying with you. My voice is stronger, clearer, I don't get hoarse as quickly, I can sing longer and "harder"/higher, my voice isn't so raspy the next morning, on and on. Yeah -- the lessons are really working, as I believed they would. Bless you and the spirit of Dante.
Every day, since studying with you, after I sing my voice is clearer and stronger when I am finished. You're a great teacher!
Thank you for all you've taught me. I know your way is the real way. I hope to have the opportunity to learn more from you in the future. You're the best!
I studied with one of the supposed most famous vocal teachers in America. After a year of studying this particular method I couldn't even get through one rehearsal or four songs at a gig with out vocal blow out. When I came to Karen I had severe vocal damage from studying with this supposed other "famous" teacher". On the first lesson with Karen my voice was cured and after four lessons I played a gig and my voice felt better than before I started singing and the next day I was not hoarse at all. This is the best vocal method I have ever studied in my life as I have studied with many other teachers before Karen that also damaged my voice. If it weren't for Karen and the Dante Pavone method I surely would not ever be able to sing.
My daughter did great on her solo, clearly the best.! I was really impressed. I hope you are doing well…we will see you at the next lesson.
Had a great lesson with Karen today. I expected the usual tongue and lip rolls and of course the long lectures on what to avoid to keep a good voice, but i got something much better. :)
I went to rehearsal tonight and what's coming out of me keeps getting better and better. Just the look on everyone's face when I sang was awesome. More importantly I can finally express everything inside me. Thank you so much! I'm your biggest fan! Thanks is not enough.
I just wanted to let you know that my gig on Saturday went GREAT!!! My voice felt really good and I didn't feel strained at all. I'm so glad I took the breathing exercises that you showed very seriously. I don't know where I'd be without you.
Once again you have my deepest thanks for what you've opened to me vocally. I still can't believe it. Every time I open my mouth to sing I get better and better! Also, thank you very much for the great encouragement.
I just wanted to say again how happy I am that I met you. My progress is more than I dreamed of and I know I'm not all the way yet. I also have come to regard you as a friend. I truly wish you all the success you dream of.
Before studying with you I always felt like crying because I could never get my voice to work properly. You have showed me the potential there. I did a little recording last night so I could really hear the huge difference and in just a few lessons. I am becoming the singer I always wanted to be thanks to you. I know it's only going to get better!
My voice keeps getting better and better every day. I would say that you have 100% given me all the ability and more than I could have dreamed of. You definitely delivered the goods. I've grown from skeptic to true believer. The last two weeks, but especially the last couple of days, I have transformed into an altogether more dynamic singer with a pitch increase of at least an octave. Every note becoming as soft or as loud as I want it to without strain or effort! God bless you. I know that it's going to only get better from here! Did you ever see the matrix we're the guy says why oh why didn't I swallow the blue pill. That's how i feel about my choice some twenty years ago or more, when I saw your add. Also the changes in my physique are truly unbelievable too. Anyway thanks so much and I look forward to seeing you next week.
Hello Karen, Life is stranger than fiction!! I played an outdoor gig today! I sang for hours and had no problems. Afterward everybody was all over me. Makes all the sacrifice worth it. I learned a lot today. I sure hope it will continue. I live for this. Don't mean to sound like a broken record, but thanks so much for all you've given me the ability to do. I'm everything and more that I always wanted to be.
I so much value everything I've learned from you and I always looked forward to my lesson. You are a very gifted teacher and your technique has really made a difference in my voice. I never thought I could hit high C so effortlessly. Thank you, Karen.
It was great getting the first lesson from you. Saw how you rock from Dante's point of view.
Karen, You are wonderful. I love your personality and your lessons. I talked about you and your method to all my friends and co-workers and will always recommend you to anyone who's interested in lessons.
Hi Karen, we're moving to New Hampshire tomorrow :-) We're going to miss you a lot! You have played a very positive role in Brendan's life and for that I will always be grateful. I wish you nothing but happiness. Warm Regards, Rob
You have been such a blessing. I believe people don't just come into your life by accident.
Karen, coming to you for lessons was one of the best things I've ever done. It's really gotten me back on track. Dante's scales are so balanced. I was getting into really bad habits. With those exercises I can sing all night again and feel nothing in my throat. When I went to university, the vocal scales weren't balanced and I had vocal issues. Dante's balances the e's with the ah's and when you got that, you've got it all. This is how I remember it as it used to be when I studied with Dante.
I enjoy the music instruction and guidance which shows progress in a short amount of time. I have explored rhythm, melody, and harmony with various instruments for resemblance. Her personal studio at home is great for this.

Now is the time to plan a pool renovation
by Myles McMorrow, December 07, 2009
Now is the time to plan a pool renovation
Have you had a pool and it is starting to look dull in your back yard? Is you pool system more that 10 years old? Or have you just been thinking of upgrading to make pool care easier for you? If you said yes to any of these now is the best time to take action. In this article I will tell you way now is the time and give you an inside look into the pool industry.
We all know the economy is not looking as good as it has in the past. Banks are not lending money like they used to. Home sales are down. New home construction is at an all time low. With all this said, the pool industry is hurting bad. New pool construction has dropped to a 20 year low. Many pool construction companies are feeling the pinch in a big way. Many have shut their doors, others are downsizing staff and dropping services they provide as a result.
What does that mean for you, you might ask? Big savings! Many companies that are big enough to still be in business are offering lower construction rates, to keep the jobs coming in. Others just want to keep the experienced staff they have had for many years in this slow economic time. Here in the Washington DC area the cost to put in a pool has dropped by about 15% to 40% in the past 2 years depending on who you talk to. Anyone that has some money and have had their pool on their mind now should take advantage of the situation for big savings.
Here are some helpful hints to save money and get quality workmanship.
1 Get multiple quotes from a few companies to find the lowest price.
2 Check references, the Better Business Bureau, and see if you can go by one of their jobs to look at workmanship. Are they Licensed, Insured and Bonded? Get copies of all of these documents.
3 See if you can supply equipment. Ordering pumps, filters, cleaners and control systems online will save you the mark ups builders add on.
4 Hire a swimming pool adviser; this is someone in the pool industry that is not associated with the builder. They help design and check up on the work to make sure things are done right and to contract specifications. (very helpful and can save you a lot on unneeded equipment.)They do this for a low cost too.
5 Go over the contract with a fine toothed comb before signing (yes, might be long and we all hate to read that stuff). Ask yourself: Are there any extra fees? What about subcontractor used? Time table for completion? What are you responsible for?
If you have had bids in the past try to resubmit them, you may be surprised at the price change for pool work at this time.

Greenbriar Cocktail.
1 Dash Peach Bitters. (Fee's Peach Bitters)
1/3 French vermouth. (3/4 oz Dolin Dry Vermouth)
2/3 Sherry. (Bodega Dios Baco Fino Sherry)
1 Sprig Fresh Mint.
Shake (stir, please) well and strain into cocktail glass. (Garnish with Mint tip.)
Pretty weird, and the peach bitters and mint make it seem awfully girly, but not unpleasant. Somehow, I could imagine the Greenbriar going well with Middle Eastern food. Especially Feta Cheese and maybe Baba Ghanoush. Not sure exactly why.
This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.

Hating Sarah
and my legal name is Sarah but I'm strictly a Sally. Can you believe the first thing I bought at Albertson's this morning was the National Enquirer? (and milk and English Muffins.)
This woman is such a horror on so many fronts. Don't be fooled by John McCain's "soul mate."
Here's a useful link to a bill that needs supporters to ban aerial hunting.

stray g, that list is an email fake. As Ann says, she never got that far, because the librarian refused to go along with it. I hope Hillary chooses to go after Palin-- she might be the right one to do the attacking.
Mean Jean, Sally is a nickname for Sarah, so is Sadie. I was named for a relative who was called Sally but was formally Sarah. It's not fun when you buy an airline ticket with a nickname like that because TSA workers don't understand nicknames.

Thanks for this horribly enlightening link, though it's unclear how the "ACT NOW" letter works (probably too early in the morning for me)... My representatives aren't on the PDF list of those sponsoring the act!!! I know that I can copy the letter and email it on my own... Oh...maybe once you fill in your name and address they figure out automatically who to send it to?

Hey duh, Don't feel bad. I had to ask who my representative was-- Brad Sherman-- and he was already a sponsor. So I didn't go farther with it. They want you to copy and paste it with modifications so it won't come in like spam, I think.

Chamois cream
Hi guys, I've been using Bepanthen as a chamois cream for sometime mainly because it works and is inexpensive. Recently I washed my Knicks and found the cream leeching from the chamois. Is there a less greasy, inexpensive option or should I buy proper chamois cream? Also are the known brands worth the price? Any feedback appreciated. Cheers. Scott.

AMERICUS, Ga. – The Georgia Southwestern Lady Hurricanes were extra motivated for their mid-week match-up versus Albany State University (16-19). GSW was looking for revenge after being swept by Albany State back on February 8th. One-run and two-run losses to the Golden Rams were avenged by GSW and then some.
GAME ONE: Georgia Southwestern-10 Albany State-2 (Six Innings)
It appeared as if the Golden Rams had the Lady 'Canes number in the early going. Their scoring began with a solo home run by their designated player, Banks, which helped give ASU the early 2-0 lead. Georgia Southwestern would answer with ten consecutive runs.
The Blue & Gold would tie the game in the third inning with back-to-back hits by Hayley Knight and Gabby Buck that each drove in a run. Knight would help the GSW offensive explosion in the next inning as she, Mason Moreland and Janna Anderson all recorded RBI's in the inning.
The piling on by the Lady 'Canes came in the six when they opened the flood gates with five more additional runs to end the game via the eight-run mercy rule. Lady Hurricanes got on base to open the inning by any means necessary which included hits, walks and ASU fielding errors. After loading the bases and scoring two runs, it was Avery Purser who delivered the final blow. Her double to right-center field would unload the bases and give GSW their eighth, ninth and tenth runs of the game.
Georgia Southwestern starting pitcher Katie Maddox would receive half of the ten GSW runs in run support for her four-inning start. The senior scattered three hits, gave up two earned runs while striking out six Lady Rams. The door was closed by Jessica Martin who earned her second save on the season. She entered the game with the 5-2 lead and pitched two scoreless innings while striking out three.
GAME TWO: Georgia Southwestern-9 Albany State-1 (Five Innings)
Coach Ward and company didn't miss many opportunities to score as they made quick work of the Golden Rams, dispatching the visitors in five innings. The Lady Hurricanes scored a run in each of the five innings as six different GSW hitters tallied a RBI.
After conceding the only run of the game to the visitors in the first inning, the 'Canes tied the game in the home half of the first inning as Mason Moreland scored on a wild pitch. It was a wild kind of game on the mound for Albany State as GSW hitters walked nine times in the five-inning game.
The lead was taken by GSW in the second inning as Janna Anderson drove in Ashley Cavender with a ground ball to the left side of the infield. The one-run second inning was followed by a three-run outburst in the third, which saw Brittny Dennison drive in two runs with a double and Cavender drive in Dennison with a single to right field.
Gabby Buck drove in Janna Anderson with a fly ball in the fourth, and then the Lady Hurricanes again ended the game early with a multiple-RBI hit. After two walks and a fielding error allowed the first three batters to reach base, Mason Moreland walked with the bases loaded to score one run. Knight would then drove in the final two runs of the game with a double.
Georgia Southwestern scored 19 runs on 17 hits and drew eleven walks on the day. The hit parade for the home team was led by outfielder Hayley Knight. Knight finished the afternoon batting 5-8 with one double and four runs batted in.
The pair of non-conference wins pushes the overall record for the Lady Hurricanes to 16-22 (1-9 PBC). It will be back to the road for the Lady Hurricanes as they will travel to St. Augustine, Florida and Savannah this upcoming weekend for double headers at Flagler College and Armstrong Atlantic State University. The conference action will begin Saturday when the Lady 'Canes travel to the Sunshine State to take on the Lady Saints with the first pitch scheduled for 1:00 p.m.

- Inter 1-1 Sampdoria: Renan rescues point for visitors10:46 | 02/12/2013
The Brazilian substitute silenced the San Siro crowd with a wonderful last-minute equaliser following Fredy Guarin's opener for the hosts.
Renan Garcia's stunning 25-yard strike in the 89th minute saw Sampdoria claim a deserved 1-1 Serie A draw at Inter on Sunday.
The 27-year-old Brazilian – who had not scored a goal for Sampdoria since joining from Cluj in January 2012 – hit a left-footed effort into the bottom right corner that left Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic with no chance.
Colombian Fredy Guarin had earlier given Inter the lead in the 18th minute, producing a smart finish after excellent build-up work from Ricky Alvarez.
Guarin then hit the post in the second half, but Sampdoria also enjoyed their fair share of chances, while Eder had a goal ruled out for offside after the break.
But they snared their hard-earned point at the death as Renan's effort stunned the crowd at San Siro, which included new Inter president Erick Thohir, watching the club for the first time since his takeover in October.
Captain Javier Zanetti came in for Inter, with the veteran making his first start for the club since suffering an Achilles injury in April, while Sampdoria drafted in Eder and Roberto Soriano.
The visitors started brightly, quickly settling into a rhythm, and just after Eder fired over with a bicycle kick, Manolo Gabbiadini volleyed wide.
Alvarez was proving a threat down the left for Inter though, and his quick feet and vision set up the opener, as he skinned Gabbiadini before picking out Guarin at the far post.
Guarin took a touch and, from an acute angle, fired past Sampdoria goalkeeper Angelo Da Costa, who could not keep out the effort despite getting hands to it.
Buoyed by their goal, Jonathan and Esteban Cambiasso had attempts, while Nicola Pozzi showed good skill to gather and turn at the other end, but his shot lacked power.
Daniele Gastaldello was taken off on a stretcher just before half-time, replaced by Vasco Regini, in a further blow for Sampdoria, who could consider themselves unlucky to be behind at the break.
Inter started brightly after half-time as a superb Guarin ball nearly found Saphir Taider, and the Colombian thrashed a powerful effort against the post in the 51st minute.
Eder found the net for Sampdoria at the other end, but the goal was ruled out for a clear offside, as Mateo Kovacic replaced Taider just after the hour-mark for Inter, who looked to kill the game off.
The visitors pressed on in their search for an equaliser though, as Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic spilled an Eder free-kick, but Cambiasso was on hand to clear the rebound.
Lorenzo De Silvestri then headed over from a corner for Sampdoria but they did get their leveller, thanks to Renan's effort in the dying stages, denying Inter the chance to move third in Serie A.

A 1UP Yours on Leap Day is like a free show, or something. The regular four discuss GTA IV and confirms that the game will run at a solid 30FPS on both the Xbox 360 and PS3. According to them, both version of the game look identical however, the PS3 version is a little behind in development but as it stands now, it will be launching along side the Xbox 360 version. Also Some information Lost Odyssey's annoying save system, Frontlines, God of War: Chains of Olympus, and many more.
Sounds like, whatever R* has done with the multiplayer aspect of the game is sure to blow gamers away. I seriously cannot wait. Also good to see the PS3 version up and running. Seeing as how I only have a PS3 now (my 360 died), this is certainly good news for me.
EDIT: Also anyone that thought this game would run at 60fps isn't thinking realistically. I mean it could be done if it was a first party game aimed at a particular game system but it aint so 30 is definitely good news.
even if it was a first party game, 60fps would be extremely hard to pull off for an open world game as expansive as GTA. The older versions didnt always run steady at 30fps though so a constant framerate is all i require
...sounds like a win-win for everyone...
get ur game on:P
Maybe.....just maybe in the future R* will have the new GTA's running at 60 fps. By then the new microsoft console will be out, but the PS3 will still be here kickin strong and running it with ease.
Launch 60gb upgraded to 320gb.
Launch 360 downgraded to........well you know.
For the incredible size of the world, I think a stable 30 fps is good. Also, even though some people *cough* PoG *cough* want to dispute it, the fact is that the PS3 version looks and runs great. Which is a plus. I don't know how many more shoddy ports I could take. But different sites have the PS3 build being anywhere from one (1up) to three weeks (spong) behind which is strange. My guess is one week, or else they wouldn't have shown the game to the press.
lol @ odion hope he didnt hurt your feelings. For a game like GTA i dont think 60fps is a necessity
By the end of the gen I think we will see it. The series has advanced a lot from 3 to San Andreas.
Gears plays great at 30fps.
GTA4 will play at 30 fps.
so how come a game like COD4 that looks better than both those games run steady at 60 fps on both 360/ps3?
open world? nah..... just pay infinity ward for their game engine.
COD 4 is an extremely linear game for starters... IW has said that they do NOT like open world, sandbox style gameplay and that they want their games to be heavily scripted and linear. It's debatable whether it looks better than GoW but IMO it certainly does not. But you can't honestly imply that if Infinity Ward was doing GTA that it would be 60fps if they were to make it the same look and openness as Rockstar is making it. You're kidding yourself.
everyone talks like gears of war has mind blowing graphics. Yes it did 2 YEARS AGO. There are so many games that will (and already have) surpass gears of war graphically and i think call of duty was one of them.
I was a big fan of gears of war 1 i just wish Epic didn't license the unreal engine to every tom d!ck and harry to play with and f up making countless numbers of ugly unreal engine games. It has essentially killed that unique look. No matter how many textures or pixel shaders or polygons they pack into gears 2 it prob won't be very impressive to me because i am tired of the look.
Hopefully i am wrong i really enjoyed that cover based game play in gears. Thats prob what i liked most about uncharted too. Its nice to slow it down sometimes and not run around getting shot like a buffoon.
some of you make it sound like 60 fps is new to this generation. You do realize that there are PS1 games that run at 60 fps. the fact is it's a development decision, and it always has been. Run the game at 60fps, or make the game look better, render more detail and run it at 30 fps. and if you actually think that COD4 and GTA4 are comparable you really need to think about that. In COD4 the maps are small and claustrophobic. It allows for a higher level of detail and a fast frame rate because there really isn't much there. GTA4 is one enormous map and while the whole thing isn't rendered at once, alot more has to be rendered at any given time than COD4. Take a look at the screen shots of GTA4. look at all the people walking in the streets that not only have to be rendered but have AI too. look at how many buildings there are and how large they are. Look at how far away you can see. COD4 while certainly one of the best looking games around doesn't make the console do half the things that GTA4 does. It is likely that if R* continues to develop this franchise that thier goals are to make the game more expansive and get much more on the screen at once. Not increase the frame rate espesially with how cinimatic the game is. Games focused on competition, or racing games are better served by the faster frame rate thats just the way it is.
Right on Kr155. Comparing COD4's framerate and graphics makes as little sense as comparing the graphics of cars from Gran Turismo 5. COD4 would be 5 frames a second if it was trying to display the same amount of information that is in any moment of GTA 4.
bubble for you...
I was wondering how far I'd get in this before seeing some .... make some crap statement about frame rates. The modern gamer is so misinformed. Both are essential for gaming and both have their strong and weak points. It's up to the developer to create what kind of game they want and they take many factors into consideration when deciding 30 or 60 FPS. Now if only all these idiots [in general, not toward anyone directly] can get that through their thick and narrow minded skulls. What enrages me is all these so called "gamers" crying about Frames Per Second. Oh, I'm not buying *insert game* because the developers suck. They can't even run 60 FPS. I refuse to buy a game that isn't 60 FPS. This and the no online play card are my two pet peeves with gamers.
Fact of the matter is that I hope developers stop disclosing this kind of information. If another developer wants to know, fine, tell them. But there's no reason for the average gamer, or reviewer to care or know how many FPS a game runs. It's irrelevant to the game and quality of. Both are a necessity for gaming and that's the simple fact of the matter...
cogd4 does not look better than gears of war ,kids these daysdont even know anything about graphic processing play gears of war on a 40 inch hd tv ull notice gears is still the best looking console game atm followed by cod4 singleplayer only.
as i was reading all the posts,i knew it was to good for everyone to have a grownup conversation.as i started reading the first few post people talking about the game but when i got to Vash_The_Stampede he had to mess every thing up and post a fanboy article.
it's people like him that act childish and never make since.here's a kid that says the 360 want be around long and then the ps3 will beable to run at 60 fps,hell they both can run at 60fps sometime the 360 version of a game runs at 60fps and the ps3 version runs at 30fps.i bet if you put them side by side he want even beable to tell the difference,he's just a childish fanboy that had to bring up that his system is better then the other when he doesn't even know what's he's talking about.like one person said they had games running at 60 fps on some games last gen.
he act like a child that doesn't want anyone to play with his toys when he says things like he posted.he acts as if he will lose something if the 360 have the same games like the ps3 have and hopeing that the 360 fails.but he might as well shut up about it because the ps and xbox will be here to stay as long as people want to play video games,alreay micro and sony are working on their new systems already.
i wish that all this childish talking stops and all games were on all three systems and their isn't even any exclusive(it's almost there now).why do people like him that have a certain system hope that the other one fails or hope that a certain game will be on their system and not the other.they act as if it will hurt them or they think that the company that made their system will give them a free game or system,but they couldn't give a sh*t about him or any other fanboy all they want to do is sell systems and they will lie to do it,hell they already did.
i own a 360 and i wish that a certain game was on the 360 that's exclusive to the ps3(like kill zone)and i know that they have an exclusive game on the 360 that he wish he had on the ps3 but he will never admit it because he's childish and will never admit that the 360 have good games.
the truth is that they are both damn systems with good games.the developers already said that the 360 does dome things better then the ps3 and vice versa but he will still say it's not true.
i wish that people like him will stop acting childish and like they own the company that made their systems.why would a person like him wish that the syatem that he don't own fail because it want help him one damn bit all it will do is stop people from playing games and it want help him one bit.
he need to just enjoy the system and games he have instead of wishing that the other system fail because it doesn't concern him one damn bit and all the fan boys should just enjoy their systems and games and don't even worry about the other,unless you are like me and wish that everyone will enjoy their systems and wish that every one could enjoy all the games because every one deserve to enjoy them not just a person with a certain systems..i own a 360 and i admit that i don't like sony but i don't wish that the ps3 fails or break down on anyone and i'll even admit that the ps3 is a good system unlike people like him that will never admit that about the 360 hell he will never admit that the 360 have any good games because he acts childish and it's about time he grows up.
Day one. Purchased confirmed.
i dunno. am still sort of meh on GTA4 to be honest. I will still be getting it for sure but i seriously doubt it will be a day one purchase
...see you guys in Liberty City on the 29th of April. Just look for the fireworks and widespread panic. I'll be in the middle of it.
w/e my tv upconverts games to 120hz
i have the samsung LNT 4671
I have a Bravia XBR4 with the 120hz motion flow I doubt your TV is going to upscale the frames per second but it will make it alot smoother.
no need to make remarks like that. he really may not be able to afford that, but since we are on the subject i could crush you with my wallet son!...................serious ly
chuck has spoken
k that's what i meant, it makes it smoother, period!
and my tv owns you, bravia boy!
120hz only impacts movies anyways. it has nothing to do with games.
and it's supposedly helps improve against blur in movies by clearing each frame more quickly. It won't help improve your game's picture by increasing the number of frames. Though my 81F 52 inch Samsung back lit LED LCD with 120 hz refresh rating looks very nice when just about any game is played on it.
4.5 -
k that's what i meant, it makes it smoother, period!
and my tv owns you, bravia boy!
Lol, last I checked Sony and Samsung LCDs are produced on the same line. They're essentially the same flipping thing from top to bottom. The only real thing that differentiates them is the case and name on them. All important features and lcd panels are the same... Matter of fact, the production line was a joint effort by Samsung and Sony. Probably the sole reason Samsung is in the position they're in right now in the LCD market. So for starters get educated on the subject. Secondly don't go talking crap like your Sammy is the bomb and all that over the Bravia. Especially when the words XBR4 come after it... :P Sony and Samsung = Same Quality from top to bottom. No question about it.
I was hoping really hard it would have been 60FPS lol although I was positive it wouldn't happen, but I'm glad it doesn't drop lower that the 30FPS in all of the previews.
Really good news
for all, Hopefully there won't be any comparison videos between the two versions.
This game does'nt deserve that.
REJOICE Xbots,your MEDIOCRE console will be getting a SLIGHTLY INFERIOR multiplatform title.
Jump OUT and Play B3YOND
I don't know why I had to look at the open zone. I'm a Sony fanboy and even I know that comment was uncalled for. Read the artical they said both versions look Identical. I know it's the open Zone but come on now!
It's obvious that you didn't read it, or listen to the podcast. You could have at least got the information from the title alone, but I don't even think you read that.
he's just mad because he gets the inferior GTA without all the extra's.
I think I'd take an "inferior" game over an inferior 2008 lineup.
the ps3 version will have HOME integration
Both versions will be over 100 hours long . I seriously doubt whether there is anyone who would even finish the game.
April is a great month for me . GT5 P and GTA4 followed by Haze in May and the MEGA HITTER MGs4 in June.
I am so proud to be a ps3 owner. Not only would i be enjoying the 50 gig MGS4 BD game i would be watching BluRAY movies at 1080p.
Paramount is planning to release Transformers BD in JUNE----WOOOOOT
The PS3 has the superior game because it is the superior console,on the other hand the 360 has the inferior game because its the inferior console...Now ya see how that works?
But i just walk into the store took my deposit from GTA and put it down on MGS4 . The clerk said why ? I told him I bought every version of GTA and never finish it...So whats so different about this one ? I probably never get a chance to play with it anyways with all the other games.. Now call me an idiot but i think i made the right choice ...$89.99 or $99.00 for the limited edition....BARF
I will await that link because being on n4g all this time I have never seen anything about that...and Im sure most of the droids would of used that as a excuse too claim the ps3 version is better....again..I will await that link....on topic...I guess thats why we have not seen any comparison shots of the games since the ps3 version is still not finished....I guess mailman hasn't seen madden 08 in all its 30 fps glory and doesn't know the xbox version is in 60 fps...sucks for him.
Burnout ran at 60 frames on ps3 and 30 frames on x360.
DMC4 occasinoally ran at 60 frames on ps3 and 30 frames on x360.
ps3 already has a lot of games which run at 1080p Native at 60 frames per second --examples being NGS,RR7 and the upcoming GT5. same cannot be said for x360.
Had GTA4 been ps3 exclusive then it would have run at 60 frames per second. Graphically GTA4 isnt impressive enough to bog down the frame rate
would be 60 fps and and just plain beter if xbox2's crappy old gen hardware wasnt holding this game back.
But hey atleast ill play multiplayer for FREE and be care free minded that my perrty PS3 wont RROD on me for bagging out a 5+ hour killing spree~
and befor the xbot scream DLC!! yawn~ ill be playing LBP by the time that extra snooze fest will be out.
there you go again claiming ps3 burnout is 60 fps...I knew it was you ans your bullsheit.....thanks for that confirmation...and whats funny is you have no link for EITHER claim...good job douchebag...both versions of burnout run at 60 fps dummy..stop trying too spread your propaganda... its confirmed the ps3 "bogged" down development of the whole game...seeing its not even out of development yet..so if all the trailers and pics are from the xbox version your claim that the xbox bogged down development fails.....nice try anyways blind droid...go home.
Yeah, I bet you weren't saying that last year about the PS3.
Gears of War 2, Halo Wars, Ninja Gaiden 2, Left 4 Dead, Banjo Kazooie 3, Splinter Cell 5, etc. Seems like a not so inferior line-up to me.
I won't say that MGS4, LBP, KZ2, RFOM2 are not some heavy hitters but it's the PS3's second year and just like the 360 in it's second year of course big games are going to come out. Considering Uncharted was the last exclusive game to come out for the system it is about time.
Since I own both systems I will own them all! Minus LBP and Halo Wars.
Burnout runs at 60 fps on ps3 and 30 fps on x360 ---said by IGN
The video was posted on youtube which was later removed. You can get IGN insider pass and watch the comparison
Ps3 version has better graphics and better and faster framerate. The news was also posted at N4G
***WATCH IGN insider video here :-
you dont own a ps3.
SC:CONVICTION is on PC too with better graphics
LEFT 4 DEAD -- a mediocre looking game also on PC with b graphics
lol at Ninja Gaiden 2 ---what a shame ? is that even a game. Banjo Kajooi ---lol. The only game x360 has is GEARS 2 .
However both Kz2 and R2 will rape Gears 2 in worlwide sales. PS3 would have 2x/3x the userbase as x360 when those games are launched.
MGS4 is alone way bigger than all of those inferior x360 game lineup
You cant comprehend the idea of one one person having one account...sorry kid..one account...one person...You can believe everything you want but please stop trying too spread your propaganda...you have been on this website for so long you think your a fixture here...your only fodder for n4g because you bring in alot of traffic with your many accounts....theres not many people with enough time on their hands to make several accounts and log on and agree with themselves but I guess you do....whats even funnier is your such a moron your style can be pointed out every time...both games are 60fps....if not there would of been plenty of articles showing that fact like there were plenty of articles showing madden 08 at being 30 fps....since you cant bring up one link...but a shoddy youtube video that aint even up no more further proves my point that you cant even back up your claims. enjoy this past article nasim.
30 FPS???!?! WTH Rockstar? Lazy devs.......
great news, i cant wait for this release.
PSN: squallsoft
it's hard to get money nowadays without a job. Have This and then MGS4 the following month. Time to sacrifice!
lol, duh. PS3 sucks. ;)
And how can they claim they look the same when the PS3rd version doesn't use AA? ROFL. blind money hats.
i read in one of the n4g articles that the ps3 version actually uses better AA than the 360 version but the 360 version is smoother. kinda like a reverse on how the console versions usually are.
So is that your sister suckin on a banana? cause she fugly....
thats nasty bcuz if shes of age or not of age shes still ugly as hell
omg GETPWNED...Awesome picture! LMAO! I disagree with your comment, but great picture. You should def use that one instead. XD
Seriously I have to save up money for Rainbow six vegas 2 in march
Gta4 in april, Haze in May, and MGS4 in June. Hopefully I get that 600 dollars in the mail from bush for the whole economy thing. I get it like sometime in May or June.
I must admit that I were a bit afraid that the PS3 version would be plagued by the same problems as all those crapy ports made by EA.
I never understood why Valve would trust EA with Half-Life 2 - The Orange Box. Since I only own a PS3 and never played it on PC I decided to get the PS3 version.
Don't get me wrong, I still consider it a great game which for the most part looks stunningly, but there are still issues that has been left unresolved. On a AAA title like Half-life this seems almost criminal!
60 FPS, 1080p
o well, you can't win everything
no it wouldn't. if there were really any extra room to play R* would add detail and expand the game, environment, textures, AI. GTA will never be more than 30FPS because the goal is to cram more in not make it run faster. good to hear it runs slick though


text: Before Adam Levine was overexposed, he was a teen with a dream who started Kara's Flowers in high school. Despite releasing a CD and appearing on an episode of "Beverly Hills, 90210," success eluded the band and Levine moved to New York to attend music school Five Towns College. After dropping out in 2000, Levine returned West, reconnected with old bandmates Jesse Carmichael, Mickey Madden and Ryan Dusick and added guitarist James Valentine to the lineup. Under the new moniker Maroon 5, they released Songs About Jane in 2002, which slowly slogged its way to platinum with the help of hits "This Love" and "Harder To Breathe," earned the band Best New Artist Grammy in 2004 and turned Levine into the tattooed model-dating (and presumably marrying as he popped the question to Victoria's Secret stunner Behati Prinsloo in 2013) tabloid fodder he is today. They now have three more albums, multiple radio smashes like "Moves Like Jagger," "One More Night," "Payphone" and "Misery" and two more Grammys under their belt. Levine, who launched 222 clothing line has also collaborated with other chart-topping artists like Alicia Keys, Natasha Bedingfield and Kanye West. He has since branched out with two clothing lines, as a coach/judge on NBC's "The Voice" in 2011, the 222 record label (first signing, Matthew Morrison from "Glee"), an "American Horror Story" acting gig and a 2013 perfume line.

Read about research on the prevalence of sexual assault on campus in
NIJ Journal article and
OJP Blog post, both by NIJ's Bethany Backes with Lisa Fedina and Jennifer Holmes.
Sexual assault can have devastating effects that can last a lifetime. In addition to the immediate trauma, victims face the risk of sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy. Long-term mental health effects can include depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.
College and university administrators want their campuses to be safe havens for students. Congress, too, wants students to be safe, and has passed
laws to help colleges be safer.
The National Institute of Justice has funded a number of studies to examine the incidence and prevalence of rape and other forms of sexual assault on college campuses.
Legal definitions of rape, the most serious form of sexual assault, and other forms of sexual assault, vary from state to state. In general, rape includes force or the threat of force, and involves vaginal, anal or oral penetration by a body part (typically a penis, finger or tongue) or an object. Some forms of rape do not necessarily include force or threats, as in the case of children and totally incapacitated adults who are deemed incapable of providing consent.
Other forms of sexual assault may include unwanted sexual touching that does not include penetration.
NIJ research has examined both rape and other forms of sexual assault. Some of the findings presented here are specific to rape, although many are much broader.

Latest figures released by Kantar Worldpanel shows that Microsoft is actually starting to perform rather well in the US, one of the more important markets for the company. So much so that the platform is growing at a slightly faster rate than Google's Android. Microsoft still has a tough mountain to climb to tackle both Android and iOS, but it would seem as though the third position is firmly in its grasp.
Windows Phone accounted for 5.6 percent of all smartphone sales in the three months ending March 2013, according to the report. This is up from 3.7 percent a year ago. Android's share rose from 47.9 percent to 49.3 percent, while Apple slipped from 44.6 percent to 43.7 percent. Blackberry fell from 2.6 percent to just 0.9 percent. Kantar states that Nokia had the most to gain from Windows Phone growth.
Despite the launch of new Blackberry hardware, the company is still experiencing difficult times indeed. So why has Windows Phone grown significantly? Kantar pins this growth down to the operating system appealing to first-time smartphone buyers - an important group of consumers - more than Apple's iOS.
We can certainly relate to this. Large tiles, a simple user interface and a focus on typography across the majority of apps provides a familiar and integrated experience. The research firm noted that from its own survey, 52 percent of people who swapped to Windows Phone had a feature handset beforehand. By contrast, 55 percent of people who had bought an iPhone had previously owned another smartphone.
It's believed that Windows Phone will continue to capture more consumers who are looking to advance up the ladder to the smartphone world. There's a large proportion of consumers in the US who still use a feature phone. Should Microsoft (or rather Nokia) be able to tap into this pool, there'll be some more positive reports to come.

Computer Science ColloquiumIm Rahmen des Informatik-Kolloquiums, das von den Instituten des Fachbereichs Informatik, der Österreichischen Gesellschaft für Informatik (ÖGI), der Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Datenverarbeitung (ADV) sowie der Österreichischen Computergesellschaft (OCG) abgehalten wird, spricht

Solvers for Software Reliability and SecurityZeit: Wed 28.7.2010, 15:00, 60 Minuten
Ort: HS 12
ZusammenfassungThe task of building reliable and secure software remains one of the most important and challenging issues in computer science. In recent years, there has been rapid progress in the scalability and effectiveness of software reliability tools. A key reason for this success is the dramatic improvement in the speed of constraint solvers over the last decade. Constraint solvers are essential components of most software reliability tools, whether they are based on formal methods, program analysis, testing or synthesis. My research on constraint solvers has directly contributed to this trend of increasing solver efficiency and expressive power, thus advancing the state-of-the-art in software reliability research. In this talk, I will present two solvers that I have designed and implemented, namely, STP and HAMPI. I will talk about the techniques that enable STP and HAMPI to scale, and also some theoretical results. I will also talk about the contexts and applications where each solver is best suited. STP is a solver for the theory of bit-vectors and arrays. STP was one of the first constraint solvers to enable an exciting new testing technique called Dynamic Systematic Testing (aka Concolic Testing). STP-enabled concolic testers have been used to find hundreds of previously unknown bugs in Unix utilities, OS kernels, media players, and commercial software, some with approximately a million lines of code. Next, I will describe HAMPI, a solver for a rich theory of equality over bounded string variables, bounded regular expressions, and context-free grammars. Constraints in this theory are generated by analysis of string-manipulating programs. HAMPI has been used to find many unknown SQL injection vulnerabilities in applications with more than 100,000 lines of PHP code using static and dynamic analysis. Finally, I will conclude my talk with two future research programs. First, I will discuss how faster solvers can enable qualitatively novel approaches to software reliability. Second, I will discuss how we can go from specific solver techniques to solver design paradigms for rich logics.
