He continued, "I am deeply humbled and proud to receive the SPY award and attribute it to giving back to the safety and health profession.

Music Performance, Music Theory, Piano
I am a highly experienced and qualified piano teacher, teaching all ages and levels from beginner to advanced. I have proven success in taking students up to the top level of the ABRSM exams, and I am a member of the California Music Teachers Association.
Master of Music (piano pedagogy), 2004, Notre Dame de Namur University, Belmont, CA (award of excellence)
Bachelor of Arts degree in Musicology, Sorbonne, Paris (cum laude)
State Piano Teaching Diploma, France
Gold Medal in Piano Performance, Conservatoire National
I have been giving weekly individual piano and theory lessons for many years, presenting many for the ABRSM grade examinations. I also accompany high school choirs, and enjoy playing chamber music with the Arte Piano Trio. I am a enthusiastic pianist and enjoy sharing this passion with my students.
*** Lesson Details ***
I am familiar with the major piano methods, but rather than slavishly following one method, I prefer to adapt my teaching approach and pace to the needs and personality of each student, using whatever material is best suited for them. I ensure my students can read the notes they are playing, and thoroughly understand the rhythms, so they can become independent musicians. I also emphasize playing musically, even at beginning level, so they can enjoy and understand the music immediately. My students also have the opportunity to play in student recitals twice per year.
I can teach in English or French, using either letter name notes or the solfege method (do re mi).
*** Specialties ***
Classical piano (all periods) and chamber music
Broadway musicals and popular song music
I am specialized in preparing students for the internationally recognized ABRSM Grade exams.
I am familiar with most popular piano methods such as Faber and Faber, Alfred, Denes Agays, John Thompson and Bastien, and Dozen a Day for technique, and use them when I feel it is appropriate for the particular student.
Music Theory, Piano
Originally from Washington, I started taking piano lessons in second grade. In high school, my piano teacher suggested that I start teaching piano lessons, and after the first couple lessons with my first student, I found that I loved teaching! Watching a student grow and improve is one of the most rewarding experiences a teacher can have in life.
I am a classically trained pianist with a bachelors degree in music and I'm currently pursuing my masters. I have five years of teaching experience with students ranging from young children to adults. I'm patient and laid back and I believe that learning should be enjoyable. I'm flexible with my teaching style. Each student learns differently and I like to try to teach based on how the student learns best.
*** Lesson Details ***
Lessons are designed to help students reach their goals. I like to find a balance of teaching proper technique and music theory during lessons. In addition to this, students work on a piece or pieces that is more properly suited for a recital or they work on a larger project that is directly related to their personal goals.
*** Specialties ***
I like to find a balance between teaching technique, and teaching musical understanding.
Guitar, Piano
I have always had a love for music. From all the music trivia games my family won't play with me, to my large collection of records, cassettes, and CDs - I am hooked!
I made my solo performance debut at age 7 by singing "It's A Small World" acapella in a school talent show. At age 9 I started taking clarinet lessons where I learned musicianship and how to read music. Throughout my school years I also sang in choir, played tenor saxophone in the school jazz band, and hoofed it in marching band.
During my first year in college I took a beginning guitar class for fun and I never looked back! I studied classical guitar for 3 years and piano for 2 years. I ultimately recieved a Minor in Music from California State University, Hayward in 1990.
I have been playing guitar for 25 years. I have played professionally in the San Francisco Bay Area in various rock, country, and blues bands as well as playing solo acoustic perfomances at local coffee houses.
I have been teaching private guitar lessons for 17 years and piano for 9 years. I like to keep learning fun! I am a very patient, compassionate teacher who will come up with creative ways to explain/demonstrate something new.
*** Lesson Details ***
Music is the most fun activity that people of all ages can enjoy. And learning how to play music should be fun too! When students inquire about taking lessons from me I always ask, "What do you want to learn?" I try to keep students interested by showing them things they want to learn. I also believe in teaching the basics. Whether you want to take piano or guitar lessons I believe you should learn basic musicianship which includes learning to read simple notes and where those notes are on your instrument, rhythm concepts, and tempo. It's easier than you think! The more you know the more you can teach yourself later on, and the more you can collaborate with other musicians.
After 3 or 6 months of taking lessons with me, students will be able to read basic music notation. They will be able to play songs either by their choosing or mine, they will have self-confidence to play songs in front of an audience/friends, and they will have the knowledge to figure out how to play songs on their own.
*** Specialties ***
I studied classical guitar at Cal State Hayward and have taught different finger picking styles as well as genres such as pop and country.
French Horn, Music Theory, Piano, Trumpet
I am a classically trained pianist and trumpet player with a
bachelor's degree in music education. I have taught for over 20
years, to both adults and children, with a focus on classical basics
and music theory for beginners and stylistic development in various musical styles for intermediate and advanced students. I teach from a standard
method, but adapt my teaching style to the personality and learning
strengths of my students.
I teach from my home in the Castro neighborhood.
*** Lesson Details ***
You can expect a calm teaching atmosphere and a generally laid back approach to your learning. I am experienced in teaching students of all musical backgrounds or none, and adjust my expectations accordingly. I teach from a standard method, but incorporate other methods as well depending on what you want from your lessons. We will work together to determine how you learn best and what you want from your lessons. If you are a beginner, within 3-6 months you will know how to read music, know basic theory, and be able to perform pieces suited to your level at recital. If you are intermediate or advanced, we will focus on your technique and understanding of the music you are playing or desire to play.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Yamaha Spinet Piano
*** Specialties ***
I am classically trained, but well-versed in many styles.
Music Performance, Music Theory, Piano, Singing
I love to sing, and I have a passion for teaching students to sing well. I have sung in choruses all my life, and have been inspired by fine conductors and great composers. I am certain that music enlivens my life like nothing else, and it can do that for everyone. Whether you sing in the shower, or in the choir, or with a few friends, or in an opera, you can find your song.
Learning to play the piano, from the very beginning, or picking up where you left off in the past, will bring a spark to your life. Whether you want to play for yourself or some friends, or want to get on track to becoming a concert pianist, music will enrich your life.
My students develop an appreciation for music of the Renaissance up through the 21st century. They are willing to delve into exciting territory while learning to read music, establishing confidence in their own musicianship. They discover the music within themselves, while learning the technique necessary to be the best musicians they can be.
I enjoy teaching high school, middle school, and elementary students as well as adults. I Love teaching beginners. I am trained in vocal pedagogy, music theory, music history, repertoire, performance practice and methods.
My formal education:
B.A., UC, Berkeley (Phi Beta Kappa)
M.A., Occidental College
M.S. Pepperdine University
Lifetime General Secondary Teaching Credential
Teachers and mentors:
Howard Swan, Mary Jones, Edward Lawton, Robert Commanday, Roger Wagner, Linda Anderson, Boyd Jarrell, Paul Smith.
In the last twenty years, I have enjoyed being a participant in music at the College of Marin, through choral, vocal, opera and piano classes. I currently serve as volunteer assistant to the Director of Choral Activities.
I am particularly proud of my experience as instructional aide and coach for music students with disabilities at the College of Marin, including students with developmental disabilities and autism.
Past classroom experience:
Long Beach Unified School District, Choral Music Teacher
Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District, Choral Music Teacher
Low Heywood School and King School (prep schools), Stamford, CT, Choral Music Teacher
*** Lesson Details ***
Voice students can expect to learn how to produce tone beautifully, using correct posture and breathing, and proper vowel production, rhythmic precision, pitch accuracy, carefully formed phrases, and musical and stylistic interpretation. But beyond technique is the amazing art of communicating with other people the wonders of the music. You should expect to make good progress in all of these areas in just a few weeks. I hope you will come with serious interest in developing your beautiful voice.
Repertoire might include folk songs, art songs and arias from the Renaissance, Baroque, Classical and Romantic eras, as well as compositions of the 20th and 21st centuries. Songs might be in English, or possibly in Italian, Latin, German or French, if you interested. We would sit down together and decide what dreams and goals you have, and then choose music to get you going down the path to those dreams and goals.
You can expect to have learned several new songs, and to have brought them to performance level in the first 3-6 months. If you have a goal to learn music for an audition, contest or festival, that can happen.
Piano students can expect to learn everything about the keyboard, posture, proper use right and left hands, scales, chords, arpeggios, and fun exercises leading to good technique, rhythmic accuracy, speed and fluency. Playing beautifully, with artfulness and expressiveness will be priorities.
Repertoire might include beginning to intermediate compositions from the Baroque, Classical and Romantic eras, as well as compositions of the 20th and 21st centuries. We would sit down together and decide what pieces to choose which would help you get on a path to your musical dreams and goals, and what would be appropriate for your age and development as a musician.
You can expect to be playing pieces with 2 hands within a few weeks, and perhaps a melody with chords, if you are a beginner. Degree of difficulty will depend upon your age, experience and development, but even very simple songs can be played musically, with grace.
Of utmost importance to me is that every student learn to read music, and develop an understanding of music fundamentals. The level of sophistication will depend upon age and experience, but learning good musicianship is essential. At the same time, opportunities for creativity to develop through improvisation could be on the horizon for you. It is important to me that you want to learn and and want to become the best you can be.
*** Studio Equipment ***
I have a piano and computer with Finale at my home. I provide music and practice sheets, etc.
*** Specialties ***
*Teachers classified as a Student Favorite
have taught a minimum of 25 lessons and have received the highest
feedback rating from students.For voice, I teach classical style, including posture, breathing, tone production, vowel production, phrasing, diction, appropriate style and performance practice, and music reading. Materials I use include everything from folk songs to arias, and 16th century to contemporary compositions, in English, Italian, Latin, French and German. Voice is my primary interest. I am also competent to teach beginning theory, and beginning piano, both classical and standard popular, including improvisation from charts (melody, chords).
Music Theory, Piano, Songwriting
I have been studying music my entire life. I first sat down at the piano at four years old and have never strayed. After attending a performing arts high school, I studied music composition and theory at San Francisco Conservatory of Music. My studies not only enhanced my passion for music, but gave me an understanding of it and the listening experience. My desire to share this love and excitement led me to become a piano teacher. Developing my own teaching practice has required intense organizational skills and independent motivation and enhanced my ability to work with others as I interact with my students, their teachers, and parents. In this position, I have had the pleasure of expanding my students' musical understanding by introducing them to new and different styles and genres of music.

Jacks Drop Battle Of The Border Bell
BROOKINGS, SD — The Jackrabbits fell 30-13 in the inaugural Battle of the Border Bell with rival North Dakota State Saturday evening.
After the Bison opened up an early 15-0 advantage, redshirt freshman Alex Kocer (149 pounds) got SDSU on the board with a 6-5 win over Tyler Diamond. Kocer trailed 5-4 late in the third, but recorded a reversal at 6:50 to get the win.
Junior Cody Pack built off of Kocer's win with a major decision of his own. Pack established his offense early, recording three takedowns in the first two periods. Pack continued to be on the offensive in the third, as he recorded three more takedowns. With riding time, Pack recorded the 13-4 major decision.
With the dual no longer in doubt, redshirt freshman Trey Hable still came out firing in the 197-bout. Hable pinned NDSU's Colton Castelbury in 0:42 to close out the scoring for SDSU.
The Jacks will return to the mat on Dec. 8 as they travel to Sioux Falls to take on in-state foe Augustana in the Sanford Pentagon. This will be the first matchup between the two schools since 2003-04.

Dashing Georgian splendour meets modern-luxe in historic St Albans
the affordable spa break packages.
Illustrious characters Francis Bacon, Anne Boleyn,
King Henry VIII, Edward Strong and Lord Mountbatten all play a part
in the history of Sopwell House. Today, notable guests include
national/international football teams and celebrities hosted by the
Bejerano family who bought this 129-room hotel in 1986. Located
five minutes from St Albans, Sopwell House stands in acres of
Hertfordshire countryside and has become a sought-after venue for
weddings, special events and business meetings. It's also a superb
leisure break destination thanks to the par 72 golf course on its
doorstep and its formidable day spa: the Club & Spa (Technogym
equipment, weights gym, state-of-the-art studio with classes
including Zumba and Pilates). The fine-dining restaurant serves a
contemporary British and European menu showcasing the talents of
Chef Mark Sutherland. While the all-day, casual Brasserie presents
flavour-packed favourites and worldwide-inspired dishes. Relaxing
in the sumptuous Cocktail Lounge is popular (try the Lord
Mountbatten cocktail and afternoon tea) and the garden-viewing
Conservatory and terrace are ideal spots for a drink. Faithful to
its Georgian heritage, each bedroom, suite and apartment is a
fusion of classic British style and modern comfort. If extra
privacy is top priority stay in a spacious Mews Apartment set apart
from the main hotel in its own gardens.
Formerly Lord Mountbatten of Burma's country pad, you
might expect Sopwell House in St Albans to be a regal residence
that's, dare we say it, a little stuffy. However, this couldn't be
further from the truth. It's possibly the warm amber and earthy
tones, shrewdly placed lighting and eclectic mix of modern
furnishings that help set the comfortable scene. It's most
definitely the prominence of the Japanese-inspired spa offering
extensive facilities and treatments. There's no doubt that this
at-ease-ambience is the magical ingredient for successful board
meetings, conferences, team-building events, civil partnership
ceremonies, weddings and social get-togethers. And with function
suites spanning three floors, spaces come in all shapes and sizes.
The newly refurbished first-floor meeting rooms are perfect for
boardroom-style meetings and when some time-out is required the
Juliana/Lee room obliges with its break-out area. All suites have
French doors leading to the terrace and gardens, and alfresco
amusement such as concerts, screenings, team building and wedding
receptions are held in the Walled Garden and grounds. (Saviour on a
rainy day comes in the form of a marquee.) Each event is
tailor-made and catered for by Executive Chef James Chapman and his
team, whose British and European menus are served in the dapper
Restaurant and stylish Brasserie.
Enjoy a relaxing 2-night spa break in the countryside from just £219 pp. Offer includes a 2-night stay,
full use of the spa and leisure facilities, lunch and 3-course dinner in The Brasserie, full English breakfast
and a choice of one 55-minute spa treatment pp.
Quote "Condé Nast Johansens" to receive an ESPA Travel Bag worth £45 in your bedroom.
To book please call our Reservations Team on 01727 750499 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Valid from 1 Jun 2014 to 31 Oct 2014

BISD's superintendent delays termination notices
In a letter to all Beaumont Independent School District staff, Superintendent Timothy Chargois said the district now anticipates that all employees affected by the coming reduction in force will be notified no later than June 30, rather than the June 12 date given previously. Also, Chargois outlined the process by which the district will decide who loses their job and who does not, a process he described as "unbiased, not considering personalities, but focusing on the positions." The full text of the letter, sent via email to all BISD staff Monday, June 2, appears below:
To: All Staff
Subject: The RIF process and update
Dear BISD Employee,
Normally, the last week of school is filled with the joy of recognition programs, awards and other honors as students and teachers get excited about the summer break. Unfortunately, this school year is also ending with serious issues that may have employees wondering how the recently approved Reduction in Force will impact our lives.
We are working toward the goal of bringing staffing across the district within approved guidelines. For the most part, that means 22 students per teacher up to grade level four and 28 students per teacher from grades five and higher. Of course, this may mean teachers will have larger class sizes. However, this will also mean we will be operating within state guidelines. The RIF will impact all areas, including administrative staff, maintenance, clerical, transportation, child nutrition and other support staff. Additionally, any unfunded grant programs will also end, and consequently, those job positions supporting those particular grants will also be eliminated. Unfortunately, the RIF will also impact teaching positions.
In my May 23rd letter to employees, I outlined why the RIF is necessary. I want to make sure each employee understands how the process is being executed. Foremost is a plan for the RIF process to be unbiased, not considering personalities, but focusing on the positions. For example, let's say a school has four 5th grade English teachers and 84 students. The approved staffing guidelines require one teacher for every 28 students. Since 5th grade English at this school has one teacher more than the staffing guidelines require, then 5th grade English at this campus would become an "affected employment area." To help determine which one of the four teachers will be impacted by the RIF, a template applying the RIF criteria identified in Policy DFFA (Local) and in the procedure for reduction in force. In order of importance, the RIF criteria are (1) qualifications, such as certification, (2) employee performance, (3) extra duties, (4) professional background, and (5) seniority. Therefore, if these 5th grade teachers are equal in every category of one through four, then the employee with the least years of service would be the one impacted by the RIF.
Contrary to our initial estimate that employees affected by the RIF may expect to be notified by June 12, we now anticipate that all employees affected by the RIF will be notified no later than June 30. Certainly, we do not want to rush the process, but we want everyone to be aware of the checks and balances in place to assure fairness in the process.

Time for Chaggy to go.
It might be time to demand his resignation in front of the school board. We could save several jobs with his salary. And lets not stop there, cull administration and their multiple secretaries before you kick degreed professional teachers to the street. This truly is unbelievable. We should demand to know the administrator to educator ratio. Obviously it is way to high! Btw can I get a reduction on my taxes that I pay to BISD every year?
His Own
He has only delayed his own termination.
maybe all BISD Parents should take action
Maybe BISD parents should keep their kids home from school until Chargois and all board members resign...
What to Watch For
Future board meetings will likely be a bit more impromptu and entertaining due to the majority of the board not taking the time to plan or prepare ahead of time behind closed doors. Something, most likely being monitored by responsible parties.
so, if lightning should
so, if lightning should strike my sister, if an earthquake should befall my neighbor, if a random shooter should get my child's favorite teacher, you know that YOU are responsible, and I will hold YOU to account....are you really okay with this, Mr. Chicken?

The Milton Bradley rumor carousel
Winter meetings: today's rumors started that maybe we were going to send Bradley to the Rays, then sending Burrell to the Mets for Luis Castillo, then no we aren't. Then it was sending Bradley to the Royals for Gil Meche, then no we aren't. I guess every team with a bad contract is going to get pinged one way or another this week.
The Ricketts don't want to simply release him, because someone will pick the guy up and use him the next two years on our dime. And who knows, if that someone happens to be a small-market team with little chance of competing for a title, then Bradley might even produce nice numbers, and not attempt to murder anyone. I still maintain that is the cleanest solution, because in any of these your-bad-contract-for-ours that keep coming up, rarely is the return of any value to us.
We don't need Castillo when we have Jeff Baker, Ryan Theriot, and the Great Starlin Castro on the horizon. =) We don't need Pat Burrell when we have the Human Hamstring Pull making $18MM in left field already. We had a Kevin Millwood/Gil Meche-esque figure already, his name was the Marquis du Suck, and HIS contract is up, now. We would have to pay Millwood this year, as well pay something in 2011 for nothing, since Texas would insist on some large moneys. As for Meche, his contract runs 2 more years, same as Bradley.
I just want to kick some puppies when I think we'd be further ahead just keeping Marquis' dumb ass around last year, leaving Fukudome in right and running a Scrappy White Johnson/Fuld platoon. If Hendry told us at this time last year that our 2009 would include Marquis and a lot of Sam Fuld, we would have rioted like prisoners on a full moon. But if we'd done that, we wouldn't have finished any worse, Marquis would be off the books, and the $20 some million that Bradley is wiping his rear with could be used to chase down a leadoff-hitting center fielder not named Marlon Byrd.
But that is revisionist history, the money is spent, and we have to move the malcontent and the rest of the league knows it. The best possiblilty right now is to end up with 2 very expensive years of Gil Meche. Nevertheless, we are going to end up with someone else's useless part, who will sit there, pick his teeth, strikeout pinch hitting a couple of times a week, and haul in the cash that could be used to attract two Quality ballplayers here...but at least he won't make everyone else in the clubhouse walk on eggshells, and at least I won't want to punch him in the ween.
Your 2010 Cubs! Excitement! Catch it!
I heard that Milton Bradly was being traded to the Yankees for Joba and A-Rod!!!
Why didn't we write some sort of escape clause in his contract? I'm not sure what I hate more: the thought of Milton Bradley playing ball somewhere else on the Cubs' dime in 2010, or the thought of him being on the Cubs in 2010.
Gil Meche
Is a much better pitcher than Jason Marquis. But still, point taken.
You spelled excrement wrong.
I did
my bad.

Hottest Days Of The Year To Date In The Forecast
By Tom Banse
The weather forecast calls for an abrupt switch from cloudy and showery to a heat wave beginning Friday (beginning Thursday in Idaho). Next week could start with the hottest days of the year so far in many places around the Northwest.
For Spokane, the National Weather Service is forecasting a high of 96 on Sunday and near 99 by Tuesday. For Seattle, the National Weather Service is forecasting a high of around 80 on Monday. For Portland, the National Weather Service is forecasting a high of 88 on Sunday and 91 on Monday.
Weather blogger Steve Pierce in Vancouver, Washington predicts Sunday, Monday and Tuesday will be the hottest days of this heat wave.
Steve Pierce: "We're going to see a very strong ridge of high pressure build from the intermountain and southwest part of the country. It's going to push up into the Pacific Northwest over the weekend. That is going to send temperatures up quite dramatically."
Pierce says the computer models call for a cool off before the Fourth of July holiday. If you're sensitive to heat, Pierce and the National Weather Service agree the Pacific Coast with its ocean breezes may be the best place to escape.

Americans are spending more, according to the Federal Reserve, which says an increase in home, car and credit card purchases may suggest improved confidence.
But as consumers pull out their credit cards, more, there may a way to improve their financial health by asking their bank to raise their credit limits.
At credit reporting agencies, 30% a credit score is determined by a 'debt-to-available credit' ratio. In other words, the closer consumers are to maxing-out their cards, the worse-off they are...
Gerri Detweiler, of Credit.com, says "Even though it's a small amount and a small limit, the fact that you're using so much of that available credit can count against you, in your credit score. Probably more than most people realize."
The strategy will only work for consumers with a solid history of paying their bills on time, but may be helpful for people looking improve their profile before borrowing to make a major purchase

Baltimore Sun reporters Jeff Barker and Don Markus and editor Matt Bracken weigh in on the three biggest topics of the past week in Marylandsports.
What is going on with all the injuries on Maryland's defense and can the Terps weather the storm?
Jeff Barker: If there is one Maryland unit I figured to be improved, it was the defense. The unit should still be better than last season – players seem to be taking to new coordinator Brian Stewart's 3-4 – but the Terps have taken a big preseason hit.
- Terps' men's basketball schedule includes 2 games each with Duke and UNC

- Video: New Terps uniforms
Defensive lineman Andre Monroe is out for the season. Also expected to miss varying amounts of time: Defensive end Keith Bowers, linebacker Kenny Tate, safety Matt Robinson, cornerback A.J. Hendy and cornerback Isaac Goins.
Coach Randy Edsall said today that Tate will be out three-to-four weeks with a cartilage issue in his knee – but not the same knee that sidelined him most of last season.
It sure is puzzling. Some fans have wondered if the new Byrd Stadium FieldTurf might be to blame, but I'm not buying that. The injuries have occurred on different fields. Then you've got Goins, who is out with mono.
What's that old saying? "If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all."
The defense still has experience on the line (Joe Vellano, A.J. Francis) and some talented linebackers. Alex Twine, Tate's backup, is a real hitter.
If you're a Maryland fan, you hope the team can hold up early and then start to get some of the injured players back.
The nonconference schedule is not too punishing. Oh, except for West Virginia on the road Sept. 22.
Is Mark Turgeon underrating his young team with its non-conference schedule?
Don Markus: I'm sure Turgeon didn't want to overwhelm a team that will be trying to incorporate five or six freshmen into the regular rotation, along with trying to figure out how to compensate for the loss (at least offensively) of Terrell Stoglin, the ACC's leading scorer a year ago.
Having said that, I thought Turgeon could have given the Terps – not to mention the team's fans – at least one more marquee December matchup. It would also help the second-year coach better gauge the progress his young players make beween opening night against Kentucky on Nov. 9 and the ACC opener against Virginia Tech on Jan. 5.
Turgeon deserves credit for taking the offer to play the defending national champions right off the bat, even on a neutral setting at Brooklyn's new Barclays Center against a team that has undergone even more of a roster overhaul.
The one thing about playing Kentucky is that if Maryland can somehow pull off an upset, it will give the Terps a major chip to cash in come March if they are in contention for an NCAA tournament bid. It reminds me of the 1993-94 opener against Georgetown at the old Capital Centre.
That team was made up mostly of freshmen and sophomores, like this one. That team also played Massachusetts in Springfield, Mass., and Oklahoma in Oklahoma City early on -- losing to both -- but still wound up making the Sweet 16 after being a bubble team in early March.
I would have liked to see some of the freshmen, particularly Shaquille Cleare and Jake Layman, take on a little more competition in December before moving into the ACC. I would like to see how sophomores Alex Len and Nick Faust have grown since last year.
A year ago the Terps started 10-3 playing against even better competition than they'll face this season and I asked Turgeon if the record was reflective of the team's talent level. It was one of the few times all season that the brutally honest Turgeon declined to answer.
I haven't checked out all of Maryland's non-conference opponents for the upcoming season to see if a Morehead State is the kind of NCAA Cinderella team it was a couple of years ago, but I would have rather seen the Terps take on Morgan State.
The one thing noticeably lacking is any local teams aside from UMES and George Mason. If the Terps are going to recruit Baltimore, as Turgeon has done with Sam Cassell Jr., why not play at First Mariner Arena against a national opponent or even Loyola?

Citronella is also a plant, a very nice plant actually, an ornamental grass that can be added to most any garden. It is cheaper and less potentially hazardous to dogs and smalls than the manufactured product. It's a constant deterrent while growing.

The smell of oil of citronella repels blood-feeding mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. The oil is extracted from Cymbopogon nardus and Cymbopogon winterianus grasses, thus is all-natural. As a non-toxic substance, many people prefer using it to using other chemical repellants such as DEET.
Citronella oil appears in many products designed to protect humans, pets, and open-air spaces from the public health risks posed by mosquitoes and ticks. A concerned person could use a spritz on their clothing, lotion or soap on their skin, treated collars on their pets, and candles or pellet bags surrounding their picnic. Innovative retailers have even created wristbands, personal wipes, and sunblock spray. Citronella is totally harmless to most people, although occasionally a mild irritation might develop from an allergic reaction.
Most of the insect repellants whose only active ingredient is citronella are not regulated by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) because they are not technically pesticides. The smell of the oil is unpleasant to insects, but it doesn't harm or alter them in any way. A lotion with 10% concentration of citronella oil has been shown to deter insects for up to an hour. This natural alternative to DEET, while not as long lasting, does not come with government warnings. It's often combined with other natural insect repellants, such as catnip, cedar oil, mint, or rubbing alcohol.
Mosquitoes and ticks harbor many highly dangerous diseases, such as encephalitis and Lyme's Disease. The contagion passes into our bloodstream when mosquito saliva acts as a carrier at the bite sight. Mosquito populations are best controlled by preventative measures such as eliminating breeding locations. But seasonal spikes in population, or dawn/dusk exposure, make humans especially susceptible to bites. Pets roaming in brush off trails might pick up ticks. That's why it is important to remain vigilant in the prevention agains infection.
Incidentally, growing the grass from which the oil is derived will not protect your garden from insects; it is not fragrant enough, although you might detect a faint lemon smell. Citronella oil might be found as a rare flavoring in certain dishes, adding a peculiar lemony spice. The two grass varieties are native to Java and Ceylon.

Post 17
@JaneAir - I guess the only reason you might want to grow citronella is if you want to use it to cook with! I had no idea you could cook with citronella til I read this article, I thought it was just used for bug repellant. That being said, I don't really like the flavor of lemon so I doubt I'll be using citronella for anything except citronella mosquito repellent in the near future.
Post 16
I didn't realize citronella plants weren't as potent as citronella spray. I think it would be so cool to plant something in my yard to keep annoying bugs away. I guess it's just not that easy though.
Anyway, I do like citronella, but I feel like I always have to use a lot of it to make it work. In the summer I use the spray on myself, and citronella candles. Those two things together seem to do the trick.
Post 15
@Ted41 - That's great that citronella works so well for you. I keep a citronella candle on my porch to use in the summertime, and I don't even see a difference when I use it. I don't know if I just have a lot of mosquitoes in my area or what. But I'm thinking about resorting to using stuff with DEET in it next summer just to keep the bugs away!
Post 14
@anon80214 - Wow, that sounds really scary about DEET. I don't have any medical conditions, but I also prefer to use citronella repellent over DEET. When I have a choice between a potentially harmful chemical and using a natural product, I always choose the natural product. I think it's much safer and healthier in the long run!
Also, I personally find citronella to be a really effective bug repellent, and I actually kind of like the smell. I don't ever see myself purchasing anything with DEET in it again.

Can citronella repel against fleas as well?
Post 4
You should note that DEET has been more extensively tested than any other repellent, is not toxic, is safe for children over two months, and is unquestionably the most effective mosquito repellent. A study in JFamily Practice (Oct. 2002)shows that high concentrations of DEET protect for an average of 5 hours. Citronella only lasted about 10 minutes.

Britney's Las Vegas Weekend
Britney Spears spent the weekend in Las Vegas, and the pop star was more about sun than sin.
Just a week after ex-husband Kevin Federline enjoyed himself at several clubs in Sin City, Britney spent her Vegas weekend mainly poolside.
Britney flew into Vegas on Saturday on a private jet and went to her posh villa at the Mirage Hotel and Casino, People reported. Her exclusive villa reportedly had its own private pool.
On Sunday, rather than stay secluded, Brit reportedly hit up Bare Pool, sipping on bottled water and taking in the Vegas sun in the VIP area.
"Her body looked great," an onlooker told the mag. "It looks like she's getting her body back, back to the old Britney."
Brit, who was accompanied by a group of friends that included hairstylist and "Shear Genius" judge Kim Vo, reportedly stayed at the pool hotspot for around an hour.
Brit may have been looking for a getaway in Vegas but a familiar face, ex-boyfriend and photographer Adnan Ghalib, was also spotted at the Mirage.
The paparazzo and Brit did not see each other, but they were reportedly within several yards of each multiple times over the weekend.
Brit rounded out the weekend with a stop by to Siegfried and Roy's Secret Garden and a performance of Cirque du Soleil's "Love," Sunday night before heading back to her private villa.

Miranda Lambert could be working with Alicia Keys very soon. The two exchanged phone numbers backstage at the Grammy Awards Sunday night, and Alicia tells Entertainment Tonight , "I don't do a ton of collaborations but I'd like to [work with] Miranda Lambert."
Alicia went on to say of her backstage exchange with Miranda, "I just told her how much I love [her] and how wonderful she is and how beautiful her voice is."
Miranda obviously works well with others. Her group Pistol Annies have finished recording the follow-up to their 2011 release, Hell on Heels .

1/2 cup Cheese Mix
1/4 cup Roasted Pepper Mix
2 tablespoons sliced green olives

Place under broiler few minutes to melt cheese. Top with Roasted Pepper Mix, sliced olives, avocado, tomato, radishes and lettuce. Cover with top half of bread. Makes 1 serving.

General information
Standard immunization currently averts an estimated two to three million deaths every year in all age groups. Innovative technology solutions that help to ensure vaccine effectiveness, efficiency, safety, and storage are enabling immunization programs to save even more lives. Without vaccines, as well as safe and effective vaccine distribution systems and delivery practices, disease would become more rampant, the public health system would be overburdened with treatment costs, and deaths—particularly in children—would increase dramatically. Immunization is therefore a valuable tool for protecting health, enhancing economic security and political stability, and saving lives.
PATH works to reach communities most in need with lifesaving vaccines, with wide-ranging projects to develop, improve, deliver, and increase support for vaccines. Visit PATH's website to learn more about its work on vaccines.
