Broadway Singing, Music Performance, Music Theory, Opera Voice, Singing, Songwriting, Speaking Voice
Hello! I'm Justin, a classically trained Baritone with an emphasis in opera and art song. I have earned my Bachelor's degree in Vocal Performance from the University of Wisconsin- Stevens Point, and my Master of Music degree in Vocal Performance from the University of Minnesota. In Stevens Point I sang the roles of Papageno in The Magic Flute, Marcello in La Boheme, Judge Turpin in Sweeney Todd, and Marco in Gianni Schicchi. As part of the University of Minnesota Opera Theater I have covered Ford in Falstaff, and performed Demetrius in A Midsummer Night's Dream. My recital appearances most recently include Robert Schumann's Liederkreis Op. 24, Modest Mussorgsky's Songs and Dances of Death, and multiple performances of Franz Schubert's Die Winterreise in both Minnesota and Wisconsin. I have been a Studio Artist for the critically acclaimed Mill City Summer Opera for two consecutive seasons. My responsibilities as an SA include covering roles, singing in the chorus, participation in an opera scenes program, and leading a series of Opera Enrichment classes at the Lundstrum Center for Performing Arts. I am a member of the Minnesota Opera Chorus, this being my first season with the company. I am the Bass Section Leader at Central Presbyterian Church in St. Paul, MN.
Alongside my passion for singing, I am an avid composer. I have completed a wide variety of pieces, from full orchestral works to string quartets, from 12-part choral pieces to art songs. Notable compositions include: Joys and Woes, a song cycle for Soprano; Charlotte, a song cycle for Soprano; Canticle No.1 for SATB chorus, which was marked for consideration at the UW-Stevens Point Choral Composition Competition; and the in-progress work for ensemble and voice titled "Sketches".
I have been teaching voice for 5 years now, and have taught students ages 7-70, so I know first hand that it is never too early or too late to start singing! I have prepared students for auditions, recitals, and for just plain fun. I teach with confidence so you can sing with confidence, and I have found that it works wonders.
*** Lesson Details ***
I have been teaching private voice for five years, and have been successful in teaching a variety of students and musical styles. Though my singing background is predominantly classical, I use that training to nurture healthy, strong, and organic voices. I do this by teaching both the fundamentals of singing technique (breathing, support, resonance, anatomy), and the art of musicianship, which is essential to every style of singing. I approach my personal understanding of the voice from the angle of knowing it as an instrument, as opposed to a source of sound that can easily be taken for granted. This allows for an even mix of understanding the voice organically, and understanding how the different parts of the instrument can be manipulated. No two voices are the same, and likewise, no two students are the same. Because of this, I do not teach a pre-structured technique, but rather take the time with each student to understand their instrument and craft a technique that will work most healthily and efficiently for them.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Piano, access to a large quantity of classical and pop sheet music, spacious studio space, performance space, the occasional puppy, tea, music stands, and a cool fish.
*** Specialties ***
I am a trained classical baritone, and have experience in the musical theater genre as well. I teach all genres according to the Italian school of singing, which focuses on breathing and the minimization of stress while singing. As I say: classical training is only the approach, the style is up to the singer. I have been successful in teaching all types of genres through this approach. I am also an avid composer and songwriter, and regularly teach theory in my lessons.
Choir, Christian Gospel, Classical Voice, Ear Training, Jazz Voice, Life Coaching, Music Performance, Music Recording, Singing, Songwriting, Speaking Voice, Spoken Word, Stage Performance, Vocal Training, Voice Acting
As a professional teaching artist and vocal coach, I have been helping students of all ages and abilities "find their voice" for over 20 years. My goal is simple: to give you singing lessons that will change your life forever. You can build unshakable confidence and have fun while learning techniques professional singers take onto the stage and into the studio. And, you can have a great time doing it!
Give one lesson a try and if you're not hooked, I will refund 100% of the lesson cost (in cash) at the end of your first lesson.
About my vocal lessons/coaching:
Most students come into lessons with the same question: "Am I any good? Is there hope for me?" Well, here's the thing... The vast majority of professional vocalists never went to school for singing! Most professional vocalists had family and friends that told them they were talented and that they should pursue singing. Most professional vocalists started out copying the sound of other recording artists, struggling for years to find their own unique voice.
The KEY difference between professional vocalists and average singers is (9 times out of 10) the presence influential teacher/mentor!
The right teacher/mentor pushes you to grow continuously; beyond what you think is possible. The right teacher/mentor has wisdom and connections to share from inside the music industry. The right teacher/mentor genuinely cares about you as a person.
I teach so that I can be that life-changing mentor for my students, giving them that "missing link" for success.
About me:
I grew up in NYC and "cut my teeth" across a variety of genres: rock, jazz, R&B, gospel and choral/classical. You name it; I've sung it. Also, in addition to being a vocal coach, I travel the nation as a musician/performing artist, professional speaker, life coach, and author. Consider taking a moment to watch the video clip below.
Unlike most teachers that take on any/all students, I limit my roster to 15 students at any given time. During our first few lessons, I commit to offering you honest and professional feedback about your strengths and weaknesses. I want to help YOU find YOUR own voice. I want to take a look at YOUR goals, YOUR dreams, and figure out what makes you tick.
During lessons, I draw on a dual B.A. degree in vocal performance & music business as well as industry experience. I offer insights on what works and what doesn't as a vocalist, whether you are looking to pursue singing vocationally or just as a hobby.
I can help you:
- Stop feeling nervous
- Develop impeccable technique
- Learn the "ins and outs" of being in the music business
- Assemble a press kit, record a demo and start to get gigs
- Much, much more!
I would love the opportunity to meet you and hear where you want your singing to take you. Please, get in touch!

15 Pasta Salads to Make This 4th of July
Recipes from The Kitchn
Let's talk pasta salads. There are delightfully creamy versions with mayo and there are garlicky ones with pesto. There are pasta salads made with couscous (tiny pasta!) and ones with tortellini. But pretty much any way you bring a pasta salad together, it's guaranteed to be great. Picnic-ready and coming soon to a cookout near you, here are our top 15 pasta salads for 4th of July party.
Roasted Garlic, Olive & Tomato Pasta Salad
You can't go wrong with a good, classic pasta salad, like the creamy one pictured above with smoked gouda and roasted red peppers. But we're food lovers and that makes it hard to resist adding things like roasted garlic and pecans to our salads. Or swapping out classic macaroni noodles for pearl couscous or even gnocchi. Or nixing the creamy mayo for yogurt or a nice pesto instead.
The point being, pasta salad is a versatile dish. The recipes here take the idea of a pasta salad and push it to the limits. Take a look and see if you spot your new favorite pasta salad of the summer — or get inspired to create your own!

I rarely think to make pasta salad but it's one of my favorite summer meals. It's great hot or cold and often makes for great leftovers.
I try to keep passta salad in the refrigerator all summer. I change them up, adding and deleting different ingredients so they are not the same. I try to make a vegetable salad with pasta, so it is much more veggies than pasta. Also tasty but lighter dressings. No mayo based dressings here. Just not our preferance, but I have tasted some really good ones. Also, I do not add hard boiled eggs as I do not like them sitting around for 3 or 4 days cut up and mixed with other ingredients. I make really big containers, and everything else will hold up well for several days. They are a big hit and the starting base for a quick cold lunch or dinner.
My favorite and the one I bring to countless potlucks is a roasted shrimp and orzo pasta salad, courtesy of the Barefoot Contessa. In addition to the shrimp, it has feta cheese, green onions and cucumber and calls for a lemony dressing with a full cup each of fresh dill and parsley-it really helps the salad zing. I've had many people ask me for the recipe over the years and I'm always glad to share it. It is just that good.
I'm not a big fan of many pasta salads, so am always grateful to find a really good recipe. I've had horrid soggy ones, with chemically, bottled dressing, overcooked pasta, ingredients that don't work together.
My favourite basic one is from the America's Test Kitchen grilling cookbook -- the funny thing they do which really makes the salad great is to slightly undercook the pasta, and dry it. It is really worth the bother to try to dry the pasta, which stands up as a good ingredient in its own right.
Intriguing...how does one go about drying pasta, assuming that's different from simply draining it?
I'm planning to try several of these salads-- my family loves pasta & trying new things. Great post. Thank You.
Thank you for these! The link to the mint peal couscous goes to the wrong recipe though!
These all sound delicious! I love making cold pasta salads during the hot months! Our family fave is this one: http://www.bitesforbabies.com/Italian-rice-salad/
@ Revati, I noticed that incorrect link, too. Here's the correct link (found using the site search).
The link to the mint pearl couscous is fixed now!
The edamame and cauliflower pasta salad has to be one of my favorite recipes now. I eat it all the time. I always roast the cauliflower though.

This scoop it profile by @Tom D'Amico (@TDOttawa) includes many useful blogs and articles that aim to teach in the 21st century. This includes learning with the use of technology. What he refers to as the 'iGeneration' includes many useful updates that can be used for both the students and teachers in the classroom. A few i came across that sparked my interest were a description on how to set up a blog with wordpress for teachers, this can be very useful to me as a student now and also in the future. I enjoy D'Amico's profile as he scoops quite interesting topics.

Sketch of the DNA Double Helix by Francis Crick
The iconic image of the double helix--the twisted ladder that carries the codes for earth's huge variety of life forms–goes back to 1953 and the homemade metal model created by the British scientist Francis Crick and his American collaborator, James Watson. Determined to solve the puzzle posed by the research evidence at the time, they obtained new insights by visualizing the structure of the complex molecule through a physical model.

My oldest son, Jarrett, celebrates his 21st birthday on July 28th. He is working away from home this summer through a University of Kentucky co-op program. We are wishing him a happy day and looking forward to celebrating with him, albeit late, when he gets back home.
Tyler Hensley will be celebrating his birthday the next day, on the 29th. Daylene Hensley and Eddie Marcum both have birthdays coming up on the 31st.
In August birthdays, Rebecca Owens has a birthday on August 1st. Birthday wishes go out to Dorothy Hale and Robert Baker on the 2nd.
Happy 7th birthday to Hannah Lewis on August 1st. Layla Allen, daughter of Jeff and Tracy Allen, will be three years old on July 31st.
In anniversaries, Tim and Brandi Bray will be celebrating their anniversary on July 30th. I would like to wish a happy anniversary to Mark and Amy Smith on the 26th.
In Macedonia Baptist Church news, we had a full house Sunday. We were doubly blessed during our music service. Kevin Rice and his band led our song service and provided special music. Next, the Chad's Hope Men's Choir took the stage and sang a special. We certainly had a good service all around. If you don't have a home church, consider this your invitation to come visit at Macedonia.
The car show put on by the Clay County Cruisers was at the park this past Sunday and there were some beautiful rides to look at and lots of friendly folks to talk to. Of course, when you get a bunch of people together with a shared passion, it's easy to get to know one another. It would be worth your while to come check out some of the awesome cars and trucks from around the area.
While my mind is on cars and such, I'll close with some humorous quotes about driving. "It takes 8,460 bolts to assemble an automobile, and one nut to scatter it all over the road." - Author Unknown. "When buying a used car, punch the buttons on the radio. If all the stations are rock and roll, there's a good chance the transmission is shot.: - Larry Lujack. "For every "Drive Safely" sign, shouldn't there be a "Resume Normal Driving" sign?" - Robert Brault. Have a good week!

In July birthdays, Happy 7th birthday to Lily Barton Smith on July 22nd. Lily is the daughter of Elbert and Leigh Ann Smith.
Betty Byrd celebrates a birthday on July 23rd. Clifford Grubbs had a birthday birthday on July 20th. Linda Jackson's birthday will be on the 25th.
Happy 18th birthday to Sara Sibert on July 22nd. Sara is the daughter of Johnny and Ann Sibert. Her aunt, Beverly Baker Robinson, has a birthday coming up on July 27th.
Thinking of the Bakers, reminds me of Jewel Baker's chili recipe. I first ate this chili as a teen while visiting at her house and now I make it for my family. Since July is a month for cookouts, this chili would be a nice addition to your hot dogs. It's also good eaten alone as a chili bun.
The recipe's directions are: Brown one pound of hamburger and drain off fat. Sprinkle one tablespoon of chili powder and one tablespoon of sugar over the top of the beef. Stir in just enough tomato sauce to get it the right thickness. This chili is simple, tasty and easy to make with just the right touch of sweet.
On another note, I hate to be a harbinger of doom, but since there's a little less than two week's left of summer vacation for returning students and teachers, it's time to seize the day! If you had something in particular that you really wanted to do this summer that you haven't done yet, it's time to get busy.
"Life is short, God's way of encouraging a bit of focus." - Robert Brault. "Don't be fooled by the calendar. There are only as many days in the year as you make use of." - Charles Richards.
Or as one of the wisest writer's of our time, Dr. Seuss, said: "Everyone is just waiting. Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite. Or waiting around for Friday night or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil, or a better break or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants or a wig with curls, or another chance. Everyone is just waiting."
I know I've often been guilty of waiting for the perfect conditions. Funny thing is those perfect conditions seldom come. So this week, let's not spend our time waiting for a better day and instead enjoy these last few imperfect days of summer vacation.

Teachers and students, enjoy the rest of your summer vacation. I'm not even going to say when the first day of school is except to say it's always too early! Hopefully, an early beginning will lead to an early ending next spring.
Mr. White is going to be missed at Clay County High School this fall. I'm sure we all wish him an enjoyable retirement. I believe he said he had been at the high school for thirteen years, which gives him one of the longer terms of service as principal.
Emily Marcum celebrated her 12th birthday on July 7th. Emily is the daughter of Robert and Renee Marcum.
Doug White celebrated his birthday on July 8th. Violet Pennington had a birthday on July 11th. Happy birthday to Bige Hensley on July 16th.
Happy birthday to father and son, Dwight and Tyler Allen. Dwight's birthday was on the 10th and Tyler will be thirteen on the 14th.
Happy birthday to my brother-in-law, Robert Joe Rawlings, on July 14th. All the family wish you a happy day.
Lastly, I have to say, "Happy Birthday" to Laronda Shepherd Bingham. Maybe she will shoot me for saying so, but she turned the big 5-0 on July 11th. I hope she had a fun day and I will soon be seeing her to celebrate this momentous occasion.
Rex and Carol Bray have an anniversary coming up on July 20th.
In Macedonia Baptist Church news, special singing this past Sunday morning was a duet by Kathy Jones and Jan Hoskins.
"Summer Journey", a program for children and youth, will continue through August 10th on Wednesday nights at 6:00 pm.
Ladies' Fellowship will be on Monday, July 18th at 6:00 pm at the church.
How about a couple of cool breakfast smoothie ideas for these warm summer mornings? For a yummy "Blueberry Smoothie", blend together 2 cups of light soy milk, 1 cup of frozen blueberries, one- half teaspoon cinnamon and sugar to taste. I use two or three packets of Truvia to make it a sugar-free treat.
My personal favorite is a "Cocoa Smoothie." Blend together 2 cups of light soy milk, one-fourth cup of cocoa, a handful of ice cubes and sweetener to taste. Again, for a sweet sugar-free treat, use Truvia. If you love chocolate, you'll love a cocoa smoothie, plus cocoa is surprisingly low in carbohydrates and high in fiber.
These recipes make two small smoothies or one jumbo smoothie. If I have calculated them correctly, the jumbo Blueberry Smoothie is three points and the jumbo Cocoa Smoothie is four points according to the Weight Watchers Points Plus plan.
Remember to use light soy milk instead of regular. The light soy milk is one of those odd foods that one cup equals 2 points but two cups equal three. So drink up and enjoy!
I'm sure you'll enjoy the cocoa recipe. After all, statistics are on my side. Sandra Boynton said, "Research tells us fourteen out of any ten individuals likes chocolate." Have a great week!

The Pleasant Days Of Summer
I hope all the fathers had a good weekend this past Father's Day Weekend. I am going to brag a little on Kristen Frost now. I had a photo of the kids when they were eight, five and three eating ice cream cones while sitting on a bench in Maine on one of our family vacations. It's our favorite family photo. Kristen did a charcoal rendering of the photo and that's what I gave Wayne for Father's Day. Kristen is super talented and she's ended up with a boatload of orders for her work. I just wanted to give a shout out to one of our talented youth.
In Macedonia Baptist Church news, welcome to our newest members, Christopher Wayne Gray and Britney Sproles. They were baptized this past Sunday morning. Special music during our morning worship service was by Carley Hoskins.
I have a couple of anniversaries for the column this week. Happy anniversary to Doug and Donna White on June 24th. Happy anniversary to Bryan and Kendra Samples on June 28th.
In June birthdays, I would like to wish a happy birthday to Judy Bray on June 25th. Chelsie Wolfe also celebrates a birthday on the 25th.
Many people are planning vacations during the summer break. I'm the first to agree that heading off on a trip to somewhere new or to an old favorite spot is a great way to relax. But, heading out on a formal vacation isn't the only way to have a pause from the daily grind.
Some of us have porches that need sitting on and books that need read. Others have pools that need swimming in and gardens to sit in. Maybe you've got a shelf full of movies that you've never got around to watching. Whatever it is that brings you pleasure and makes you smile is like a mini vacation in itself.
Here are some quotes about taking it easy during the pleasant days of summer. "A vacation is having nothing to do and all day to do it in." - Robert Orben. "A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken." - James Dent.
"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time." - John Lubbock.
"Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world." - Ada Louise Huxtable.
I know we all have responsibilities and things that only we can do. But in between all those tasks that life requires of us, let's remember to take some perfect moments for ourselves and our families. Have a good week!

I hope this week's column finds you enjoying your summer. Last week was our Vacation Bible School at Macedonia Baptist Church. We had around 60 kids each night for Bible lessons, crafts, games and food. Food for the children was provided by the summer feeding program and we would like to thank them for the delicious and healthy meals they provided.
Thanks also goes to all the workers. It takes quite a few people to cover teachers, helpers, crafts, games, music, food, bus drivers, early and late duty and the Salvation Station. Rhonda Goodman does a great job as director and the workers go all out in decorating the rooms.
This summer, while Team Kids is on hiatus, children and youth can attend Summer Journey. This program will be on Wednesday nights at 6:00 pm and will run from June 15th through August 10th. Team Kids will begin again on Wednesday, August 24th.
Trevor Thomas Drama Ministries were with us for the morning service this past Sunday. The service was a mixture of music, comedy and dramatic stories. Praise God, we had two saved during this service!
Ladies Fellowship will meet on Monday, June 20th. The Walk in the Word Bible Study is available at http://www.macedoniabaptistky.com. The current study is "Why God Shows Wrath."
It's a little ways off but we have revival services scheduled for August 28th through August 31st. Bro. Kenneth Felty will be the evangelist.
I would like to wish a happy birthday to Kim Reid on June 19th. Betty Eagle celebrated a birthday on June 12th.
I would like to close by thanking all the dads out there for all they do for their families. "My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say "You're tearing up the grass." "We're not raising grass," Dad would reply. "We're raising boys." - Harmon Killebrew. "He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it." - Clarence Budington Kelland. Have a good weekend and tell your dad you love him.

text: Much controversy surrounds this issue and has the capability of inviting the displeasure of many who read about it. Let's start at the very beginning, it concerns the word photograph which is derived from two Greek words, PHOTOS which means light, and GRAPHEIN which means write. So we now see that it literally means 'to write with light'. The word photograph was coined by Sir John Herschel on March 14th, 1839. In our modern world where most photography is digitally enhanced on a PC can it be said that we are 'writing with light', because this concept surely only applies at the moment of capture of an image, where the photographer uses his/her skills to manipulate the available light to produce an image. To then transfer the images to an editing software program where they are then enhanced beyond what was captured originally could raise many questions. There is of course nothing wrong with this new technology and how glad we all are that it is available to us, and how fortunate we are to have the capability of rescuing an image that if it was on film, would probably have ended up in the trash bin. Perhaps it is time for some brilliant academic to coin a new phrase for our beloved pastime which would reflect the amazing technology we have at our fingertips, or is it a case of the term 'photography' being synonymous with all the wonderful imagery we see of landscapes, people, sport, wars, et al. Take the word 'Hoover', don't most of us say we will 'hoover' the carpet, when we use our vacuum cleaners, I guess it's because this was the first brand we heard of, after W.H.Hoover,(1849-1932). So the word photography will probably be around for eternity, and who can argue against that?.

1837 - 1841
Arizona Timeline
1837 to 1841 – Land disputes between United States and Mexico continue. Annexation of Texas delayed for political and diplomatic reasons.
Martin Van Buren was born in
1782 at Kinderhook, New York.
He entered law practice in 1803
and became active in New York
State politics as a senator and
Attorney General. He was elected
to the U. S. Senate in 1820, served
as governor of New York from
1828 to 1829, and resigned to
become Andrew Jackson's
Secretary of State.
Hannah Hoes Van Buren was
born in 1783, and grew up with
her cousin, Martin Van Buren, in
Kinderhook. They were married
in 1807 and had five sons; one
died in infancy.
Martin Van Buren became vice president in 1832 under Andrew Jackson and was elected president in 1836. His administration favored establishing an
independent treasury, and near the end of his term, he established a ten- hour day on public works. His term in office was overwhelmed by the longest
financial recession in the history of the Nation. To prevent the spread of slavery, Van Buren blocked the annexation of Texas because the political climate
at the time would have most likely meant Texas would be a slave territory. Van Buren died in Kinderhook on July 24, 1862.
In the winter of 1818, Hannah Van Buren's health was failing and she died on February 5, 1819. Van Buren never remarried. After he moved into the
White House, Dolly Madison brought her relative, Angelica Singleton, to visit. In 1838, Angelica married Van Buren's son , Abraham, and thereafter
presided as White House hostess.

This basic dSLR doesn't stand out from the competition.
Pros and enthusiasts in the US can rejoice that many of Canon's SLR lenses are a notch less pricey now. Better exchange rates might deserve some of the credit.
While it's a perfectly fine camera when you're making the jump from a point-and-shoot, there are better choices than the Canon EOS Rebel T5.
With a wider and longer lens than its predecessor and some other needed improvements, the SX60 HS brings Canon back to parity with its competition.
Canon targets the Sony RX100 II with a similarly sized camera.
Want to get up close and personal? The SX60 has 65x optical zoom and one of the widest lenses on a camera of this class, opening up to 21mm.
Given that the 7D is 5 years old, the body has surprisingly few changes for the Mark II.
Though there's nothing extraordinary about it, the SX600 HS is a solid choice for snapshooters wanting a simple step-up from a smartphone without sacrificing on-the-go sharing.
Sporting a 1-inch sensor, the new Canon G7X packs everything you know from the G series cameras into a smaller package.
A new 400mm supertele is just the beginning. Canon also says it plans a replacement for its 100-400mm zoom and new compact models using diffractive optics.

Campus breaks 4,000 freshman applications for the first time in UM-Dearborn's history
July 29, 2010
DEARBORN / July 29, 2010---The enrollment picture for fall looks very promising based on the record number of applications received so far at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, according to Christopher Tremblay, executive director of enrollment management.
We broke 4,000 prospective freshman applications for the first time in UM-Dearborns history, said Tremblay, who attributes the increase to the universitys continuing efforts not only in the recruitment and admissions process, but also in the campuss marketing program and in the outreach activities in the academic units.
The last time we broke a record was Fall 2008 when we received 3,843 freshman applications, Tremblay said. Increasing the number of applicants is obviously key to meeting the campuss goal of enrolling more students.
In addition, applications from potential transfer students are at an all-time high, up 35 percent at 1,611 applications for this fall, compared with 1,193 received for Fall 2009 on this same date, he noted.
And as of June 1, we had the largest percentage increase in transfer applications in the state, Tremblay said.
Though its a tough time financially for many in Michigan, the record application numbers suggest that UM-Dearborns commitment to help students achieve their college education dreams is working. Students and their families seem to be getting the message that a Michigan degree still is an affordable investment in their future and the future of the region.
Applications for federal student aid are up 20 percent and the campuss financial aid offers are up 15 percent compared to this time last year. In addition, merit scholarship offers for incoming freshmen are up 14 percent, an indication of a more highly-qualified applicant pool.
Attendance at freshman orientation indicates that the quality of the freshman class has increased. It is expected that the freshman class high school grade point average will be close to a 3.6.
About University of Michigan-Dearborn
