His goal as a teacher is specifically designed to help you achieve your goals as an artist and a musician.

Jason has host student showcases/charity benefits where his students were able to get on stage and show off their new talent and perform with other musicians. It wasn't mandatory though, if you were just looking to come out and support there was no pressure other than to come out and have fun.
Jason has been transcribing for guitar and bass since the age of 18 and since then has become a master of the craft including both 5 line staff and tablature, hand-crafted exercises and deconstructions to better enhance the students learning.

Jason attended the University of Alaska, Anchorage where his degree is in Music and Business. He is constantly continuing his education with music theory courses as well as private guitar instruction. He attends guitar workshops and seminars by artists such as John5 and Kerry King who are known as some of the worlds finest guitar players. He reviews every day from a wide range of over 1000 sources working to become a better musician and instructor.
Another nice feature that you might enjoy from one on one sessions with Jason is learning the ability to craft and record your own songs using state of the art technology that caters to your own unique personality. There are no limits!
Jason teaches all experience levels from beginner to intermediate and advanced as well as artists that are signed to labels.
Local news outlet Fox 5 did a segment with one of his students who overcame issues with ADD and depression as a result of taking guitar lessons.
His students advance quickly, some have released albums, been in Guitar World Magazine as well as its online companion and won awards for their music websites.

About Cameron S.Close
View Full Profile
My students have spanned every age, experience level, and walk of life through the years... Some wanted to join a band, some wanted to go on to music school, some were aspiring songwriters, and others were simply interested in an awesome hobby! I've been teaching acoustic guitar for over 13 years and teach a mix of playing technique, music theory, ear training, as well as working on songs and styles of playing that the student is interested in. Along with my teaching experience, I have plenty of stage and studio experience as well which allows me to bring those things to the table. More real world and less dry and academic you might say...
About Cameron
Learning guitar should be interesting and fun! While we're studying all the different aspects of the instrument, you'll also be learning how to play your favorite songs and solos! I approach each student as an individual and structure their lessons according to what I determine they need, as well as what they are interested in musically. I concentrate on many different areas; ear training, theory, playing technique, improvisation, various styles of music, and, the physics of the guitar. Understanding how the instrument works is important in my opinion. My long term goal is to teach a student how they can teach themselves down the line. Understanding why you're playing something is just important as knowing how to play it. I aim to give a student rich and well rounded one-on-one time!
I h
I obtained my degree from Purchase College in New York and am a member of their Conservatory of Music.
*** Lesson Details ***
I construct lessons for each individual student depending on their musical tastes, goals, and current skill level etc. I want each person to get as much from their time studying with me as possible. Within three to six months, I'll have you working on timing, theory, ear training, improv, and songs/styles of music you may be interested in. I'm laid back, however, I expect at least the minimum practice time between lessons, which I'll change throughout the course of our time together depending on your skill level etc. Practice materials I draw up are included. I write out everything in plain English and do not require the use of sheet music!
*** Studio Equipment ***
Small recording studio, piano, various guitars, bass, and amps.
*** Travel Equipment ***
guitar, bass, laptop, digital recorder.
*** Specialties ***
I concentrate on ear training, improvisation, and explore styles ranging from pop, alternative, rock, prog, and blues, to metal, funk, and folk etc. I do not require sight reading skills for any level of student. Rather, I work with the student with theory and arrangement conventions to really understand the music. This intern, greatly sharpens their musical ear and helps them to learn music much faster because they understand how it is put together; why and how it works, etc.
***Teaching Special Needs***
I have experience teaching students who have been visually impaired,
blind, hearing impaired, or who have had mild learning disabilities. I
am also comfortable with a student bringing their service dog or
therapy dog to our lessons if they wish.

Cameron is great at tailoring the lessons to my musical taste without compromising the theory, basics and fundamentals.
I have been taking lessons for one year and will not go elsewhere anytime soon. His vast musical knowledge helps merge the theory with concrete examples. No question remains unanswered.

About Thomas F.Close
I can teach all levels and many styles. I make it easy for you to learn at your own pace so you can achieve your goals and have fun playing music.
About Thomas
Tom began teaching in 1994 and still practices today instructing students of all ages on guitar and bass techniques, as well as music theory.
Tom is very laid back and embraces working at the pace that each of his students feels most comfortable. Lessons are about the student's ambitions. If it is learning their favorite songs or a deep dive into music theory, jazz improvisation or songwriting it can be covered in strides that seem fit to the student. Books can be used for guidance and a custom lesson plan created that will fit specific criteria desired to be achieved by the student. Remember, practice makes perfect. The more you put in, the more you will get out of it!!

About Carla U.Close
View Full Profile
Lessons are tailored towards the students goals and abilities. Play with or without a pick, learn popular songs, or write your own.
Over the last 20+ years of teaching guitar, I've found that most of my students want to learn to play popular songs they've heard on the radio (I teach all decades of songs, from 1920's to current hits, and I "take requests").
I can also teach note-reading and music theory (optional- recommended for those who want to major or minor in music in college, and for those who already play another treble-clef instrument).
My goal is to build confidence and make learning fun. I hone in on a students' strengths and weaknesses, build on the strengths and gradually improve the weaknesses.
Acoustic guitar is the most social musical instrument there is! So get started! I promise you will have a non-threatening, relaxed environment to learn in, and go at a pace that is just right for you.
About Carla
After more than 25 years of teaching at music camps, music stores, 3 colleges and my home, I completely understand that the lessons are all about YOU, the student: what you want to learn, taught to you in a way that works for your brain and personality.
And if you don't know exactly what you want to learn, that's OK. We can figure that out together as we go along learning the basics.
I help students learn to play songs by artists they like.
I also help students write songs, or put chords to their existing lyrics.
For those who are interested, I teach note-reading (not required) and theory (not required) and ear training (not required).
The lessons are always tailored towards your (the student's) goals.
I also teach classical and fingerstyle guitar for the occasional person who specifically wants
My purpose as a teacher: help people have a fun experience, learning in an organized way, adapted to your learning style and goals, while learning to do exactly what you wanted to do when you decided you wanted to play the guitar.
In 1994, I was let go from my job at a music store because I was sick. Which sounds awful, but was the best thing to ever happen to me- it was then I got over my fears and became a full-time musician, teaching and writing and performing. I have never looked back! I may not be a household name, but I am living the dream.
Whether you want to sing to your kids or play for an audience of 50,000, or just play guitar for yourself, you first have to get started.
Wait no longer! The guitar is calling!

I was very reluctant to take lessons at first, but my wife got me started with Tim and it was really worth it. He was accommodating to my relatively slow speed of learning and easily adapted to my own musical preferences and interests.
His studio is a great space and is located within a really cool, historic building. The sound is fantastic and it's a comfortable space to practice in.
I highly recommend Tim for lessons - especially for adults who may not be able to dedicate hours a day to practicing. I took lessons weekly for three months and I got a great foundation for practicing. Once my life settles down a little, I definitely hope to go back.

About Tamari (Tamara) W.Close
Students will experience a fun; step-by-step lesson each session they book, viewing their teacher (myself!) on FaceTime (for MAC users) or SKYPE (for PC users); Google hangouts, demonstrating scales, chords and style of execution, when applicable. I prefer the feeling of the nylon stringed guitar in my fingers, but every student and teacher has his or her own preference. I offer the 'basics' of both MUSIC THEORY and the mastering of scales and chords on the 6 string guitar, which translates to:
1. Learning the notes and scales on each string of the guitar, adding new knowledge yet repeating and re-iterating the knowledge acquired from the previous lesson
2. Learning to play simple songs and melodies on one or two strings of the guitar, gradually incorporating the other strings
3. Accruing a repertoire of chords which may be used to accompany the singing of a folk song or ballad
4. Playing a melody AND accompanying oneself with chords together on the guitar
5. Learning to play ...
About Tamari (Tamara)
On social media and for those who are more familiar, I'm Tamari. We all learn in different ways; some are more visual; others, auditory; some, kinesthetic--I combine a number of different modalities in my teaching, including direct feedback-teaching--once you learn a concept or skill, teach it, as soon as you possibly can, to someone else! -- this reinforces your own knowledge of the skill or concept!
I've been teaching private lessons for many years and have loved helping my students acquire new skills, master new pieces, and prepare for concerts and performances. Over the years, my younger students have earned Blue and Gold ratings at the Young Musicians' Festival in Fairfield U., some of them earning gold cups: This is a statewide event to encourage long-term commitment
I went to Indiana University's Jacob School of Music and earned a Masters in Piano Performance, and Composition in the '90's. I sang all types of vocal music as well as prepared singers with vocal coaching and voice development techniques 20+ years.
I'm fun loving, patient, and optimistic-- these traits carry through in my teaching style,
One Size does NOT fit all--I approach the lesson plans for each student tailored to your learning style.
Over the past 23 years, my life experiences have encompassed other disciplines and compelled me to learn and acquire many other skills: my liberal arts as well as fine arts education lent itself to helping me work administrative jobs and even expanded into sales and public speaking. I have coached after school and SAT preparation to High School and College age students, helped with the preparation of legal and analytical documents, creative writing and editing assignments; and even tutored computer, social media and Microsoft Office & iWork Suite of applications to older adults.
I look forward to helping you reach your goals

All ages and abilities welcome! My lessons are tailored to the student's individual goals and learning styles. Though they are grounded practical musicianship, they emphasize creativity and self-expression above all else. My goal is to prepare students to function authentically and efficiently in their own musical lives as well as in musical groups. Alongside instrument instruction, I am more than happy to help you develop skills in songwriting and singing. I am a singer/songwriter down to the core and I want my students to love music as much as I do!

About Jim A.Close
View Full Profile
I am a multi-instrumentalist performing singer-songwriter with 20 years of teaching experience. I surround the lesson with a musical context that enriches the simplest of beginner melodies with fun, dynamic accompaniment - and I can
delve into far more advanced material in multiple styles: jazz, classical, improvisational, pop, rock, blues etc. I teach multiple instruments and also
compose with students - a creative process that engages them instrumentally and even lyrically.
These days, for younger students, I even invite parents to sit in on drums
- even if they are inexperienced. The results are fun and often very musical and encourage the family to make music together. My new open mic series brings the music into the community and provides performance opportunities in a relaxed setting at a local all-ages venue.
About Jim
From my website here is my music bio.
New England singer-songwriter Jim Allyn is known for his freewheeling improvisations on mandolin, guitar, piano and harmonica. "He plays a lot of good bluegrass too," according to the legendary Bill Monroe.*
With a musical compass forged in roots, rock, country, blues, and gospel Allyn writes songs that cut a path straight to the heart and keep moving
This summer marks the release of his first full length album Backyards of the Brave, featuring all original works: true stories from train yards, backroads, battlefields and coal mines (see review below). Recent years have included multiple tour dates with folk legend Jonathan Edwards as a member of Edwards' band. Allyn has also performed extensively with Peter Yarrow (of Peter, Paul, and Mary) and at venues and festivals over the years including onstage jamming with Bela Fleck, Livingston Taylor, Dar Williams, Tom Chapin, Guy Davis, Christine Lavin, Vaneese Thomas, Chris Hillman of the Byrds, Newgrass Revival, Vassar Clements, legendary fiddler Kenny Baker, and many others. Allyn's multi-instrumental work and vocals are also heard on recordings by numerous regional artists.
As Music Director and co-creator of the Flagpole Radio Cafe in Connecticut (2008-2014) Jim and the house band/ensemble garnered rave reviews: a "hit" show, according to the New York Times. The band, featuring Francine Wheeler, continues to do concerts each year and the show itself is likely to resume this year.
Pianist Tom Snow offered this recent praise for Backyards of the Brave:
"This album is a treasure. The amount of sonic and compositional variety is really quite incredible. One of the many wonderful attributes of this creation is that it stands up to multiple listenings. There is so much richness on many levels that I find myself hearing new things on successive listenings. Priority Gal and Lindytown and This Old Guitar and Jazzbo are real stand-outs for me. I love the compositional subtleties that inform the songs, especially chord choices! "

It is not easy to get published in America. In fact, for every piece we print, three or four are rejected. Before being accepted for publication, every manuscript is screened, many by three or four associate editors, followed by the editor in chief. Sometimes even that is followed by a conversation with the editorial staff as a whole. Bottom line: getting published here is not easy!
And let me say, I know that from personal experience. Before I came to work at America, I was rejected 617 times for publication by the magazine. Now that might sound bad, but just to be clear, 330 of them were for revisions of the same manuscript (which I am now shopping around as my third written, first published book). Fifteen times, by three different editors in chief, I was invited not to submit again; the kidders! Twice the police informed me to stop calling, which I did. And 75 times (not including 327 of the 329 revisions) I never received any response whatsoever. Luckily, I still have the originals, and I am beginning to circulate them among the editors.
What really helped me to persist in the darkest days were the rejection letters I received from Br. Mortimer F. X. Snerd, S.J., longtime assistant to the editor. Brother Snerd always did a superb job of clarifying the issues in my articles that needed to be addressed. On the occasions when he responded, I felt that even if my manuscript was rejected, I had been heard. It was because of the letters that I eventually came to work at the magazine.
So, for all the aspiring writers out there, I thought I might share a few of his letters for encouragement. we're all in this together!
Letter 1. Dear Mr. McDermott: Thank you for your recent submission. I regret to inform you it was too boring, even for America. Sincerely yours, Br. Mortimer F. X. Snerd, S.J., Assistant to the Editor.
Letter 37. Dear Mr. McDermott: Please STOP italicizing, CAPITALIZING and underlining words in your article for EMPHASIS. Your readers are PERFECTLY capable of grasping your point, if there IS a point and it is ABLE to be grasped. EMPHATICALLY, Br. M. F. X. Snerd, S!J!
Letter 61. Dear Mr. McDermott: Thank you for your recent article on a personal experience. It might help you in the future to know that while we your readers are interested in any insights you might have, no one, absolutely no one, is interested in your personal "journey." Expunge the phrase "and then I realized" from your vocabulary. No one cares how this or that event "made you feel." I see from your signature that you are a Jesuit novice, God help us; please, save your sharing for the mutual-affirmation groups to which you no doubt belong. A thought from me to you, Br. M. F. X. Snerd, S.J.
Letter 97. Dear Mr. McDermott: I am pleased to inform you that I am recovering from a cataract operation, and consequently was not forced to read your piece. Sincerely, Br. M. F. X. Snerd, S.J.
Letter 101. Dear Mr. McDermott: Thank you very much for your recent article on your summer trip to Uganda. Who knew that one could identify the solutions to that region's complicated problems after only one week's visit. I have written a letter to your provincial asking that they send you to the Middle East; let's give you 10 days, maybe you can figure out world peace. With abundant hopes for the whole world, Br. M. F. X. Snerd, S.J.
Letter 143. Dear Mr. McDermott: Thank you for your recent manuscript on the spirituality of illness. A job well done. It made me sick. Try not to underestimate the value of simply asking a good question. Certainly we here at America have lots of good questions every time we receive something from you. Br. M. F. X. Snerd, S.J.
Letter 167. Dear Father McDermott: Congratulations on your recent ordination. Yet another reason to pray for the church. Let us hope that you choose your words more carefully when breaking open the word of God than you do for your articles. "Seinfeld" may be many things, but it is not "awesome." Br. M. F. X. Snerd, S.J.
Letter 191. Dear Father McDermott: Thank you very much for your most recent scriptural exegesis. It took an entire fifth of Scotch to get through it, a new record. Were you planning to give college credit to those who finished it? As ever, Br. M. F. X. Snerd, S.J.
Letter 215. Dear Father McDermott: I regret to inform you that the editors have rejected your recent submission on liturgy. If you are determined to continue submitting pieces, perhaps you should just consider working here. The editors get printed all the time, no matter what they write.
I retire on Tuesday. Br. M. F. X. Snerd, S.J.
Just wanted to verify theauthenticity of Fr. Mortimor F.X. Snerd's name. The only Mortimore Snerd I everheard of was Mr. Edgar Bergman'entertaining-goofy puppet creation: Charlie Mc Carthy's wooden brother (?), who together with Snerd, both entertained movie-goers in the late 40's-early 50's under ventiloquistic (?)supervision of Mr. Bergman.
Smile: Deacon Jim Springer
Perhaps I will try my hand at writing again. I say again, because I stopped submitting articles after far fewer rejections.
Sinerely, Quentin Johnson

Hello everyone
Got a small issue here, maybe someone can help me out.
I have recently opened my own company in the cosmetics sector. What we do is import and distribute. The country I live in now, and the company location is in Lithuania (its in the EU for those who don't know).
I am in the process of making a website (basically the site is more about information, pictures, and about various products such as soaps, bath items etc...). This site might in the near future do the following things:
- Cookies for tracking of country of origin
- I will be collecting emails from people who sign up/contact us using the contact form
- I will be collecting the names of the people who sign up/contact us
- There will be NO e shop, so no CC numbers etc...
- Some of the products need attention, for example if soap goes into the eyes, etc....
Now, my problem is... Ive come to the point in the website creation where i need to create a privacy policy, a terms of use etc.
I have no freaking idea what to write in there. I found some on-line generators which create these pages for me by asking me questions to fill out and it will fill them in for me. The problem however is, that all these generators are based on US laws or UK laws (California act of this or that etc). However i am in Lithuania (EU27), and need to write it for our location here. The only solution i found so far is to get a lawyer to do it for me, but i can not afford to pay a lawyer now for information regarding some text for 2 HTML pages. Google did not help me find any templates for my location either, not to mention that some want $700 which i refuse to pay.
Any ideas or help would be deeply appreciated. Maybe someone has done a website privacy policy or terms of use policy in a Baltic country and would be willing to share it with me?
I need to get it in English for the time being, and later I will translate it to the other languages as soon as I add other languages accordingly to the website.
Cheers everyone.

|An art show, a celebration, and a fusion of his colorful, cute, gooey, iconic Chouchou creatures, as they go on their mystical journey to the Enlightened Chorus.

Gary Baseman presents La Noche de la Fusion show which opened Saturday, May 2 at The Corey Helford Gallery - 8522 Washinton Blvd. Culver City, California 90232. La Noche de la Fusion runs from May 2nd to May 23rd at the Cory Helford Gallery in Culver City, CA.
For his much anticipated solo exhibition at the Corey Helford Gallery, Los Angeles- based artist Gary Baseman presents La Noche de la Fusion, an art show, a celebration, and a fusion of his colorful, cute, gooey, iconic Chouchou creatures, as they go on their mystical journey to the Enlightened Chorus. (Or at least that's what I thought.) Inspired from his travels to Brazil, Russia, Thailand, Spain, Israel, Argentina, Cyprus, Japan, Italy, and U.S, Baseman's bigger than life show was filled with live music, performers, skeleton and bubble girls, Brazilian dancers, and a couple of dirtbag artists like us covering it. If you missed the festivities, don't worry the show and all the works are viewable here on the Corey Helford Gallery website.
We headed over to Culver City Arts District on Roberts and Washington. The racial makeup of the city was 59.24% White, 11.96% Black or African American, 0.71% Native American, 12.02% Asian, 0.21% Pacific Islander, 10.16% from other races, and 5.69% from two or more races. 23.70% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.
We arrived a bit early and saw them setting up the festival portion of the show ring toss with Baseman's characters, outdoor sculptures, and music stuff. We decided to kill some time and get some food and beer.
Some nice window art.
We decided on this El Salvadorian food and here's the address and a nice little skatespot (address provided).
El Salvadorian Mason-inspired art
Food, Food, Beer.
The size of a small baby.
Rachel and VW bug that is not her own.
We arrived to see that there was a huge line and RSVP list to get into the main gallery. We slipped in line and I told the lady we were going to snap some photos for fecalface. She got another guy, who got another guy, who was really cool and let us in. Phew.
The Buble Girl, acrylic on wood panel 36" x 48".
Hickey Bat Girl (SOLD) and M.O.D. Girl (SOLD)
The Crowning of the Enlightened One acrylic on wood panel 36" x 24".
The Skeleton Girl acrylic on wood panel 18" x 24".
Untitled Diptych acrylic on wood panel 40" x 20".
This was a pretty cool shrine Basemen put together for the show. Sort of reminded me of a mixture of a Buddhist temple prayer set up.
Garden of Enlightenment acrylic on wood panel 40" x 20" (SOLD).
This guy had a great Pee Wee Herman hat. I mean look at that thing.
The Sacrifice of the Chou acrylic on wood panel 18" x 24".

The Explosion of Dream Reality acrylic on wood panel 36" x 48" (SOLD).
The Dawn of the Tree Nymph acrylic on canvas 18" x 24" (above) and The Blooming of Venison acrylic on wood panel 18" x 24".
La Noche de la Fusion acrylic on wood panel 36" x 48".
Madonna & Chou acrylic on canvas 12" x 16".
La Noche de la Fusion Drawing 2 (skfm book) colored pencil on paper 10" x 7.5". There was a room upstairs with a pretty big line. We managed to squeeze in there. The works upstairs were mostly these drawings on book pages.
Triptych Russian Book Drawings colored pencil on paper each drawing is 5" x 7.5" (SOLD).
The Melding of the Minds acrylic on wood panel 11" x 14".
Pretty packed show and this was just inside. We were trying to make our way outside until we ran into . . .
Wait for it.
This fellow!
Oh yeah, we just happened to catch the man of the hour on his way inside. That's my surprised face.
We headed outside which was totally insane. There were people dressed up, games, and bands. They were also passing out numbered and signed zines as well as masks.
This guy was staring me down all night. I don't know what his problem was, so I left.
I'm glad to know this was a wall projection because I was starting to think the drinks were getting to me.
Ring toss game. Winners won a cool bag of stuff and losers won a sticker.
I got a sticker from friend Ping Zhu who has been doing some intern work for Mr. Baseman. Pity sticker since my throws were not even close.
Hey, it's Sissy and Eddie from the Polyamorous Affair, who were just performing in London. Real nice folks these two.
Baseman Bra. Wocka wocka.
That's it folks. I definitely got my fill and was a Gary Basehead for the evening and had to head over to attend STOKED Sessions LA auction at Upper Playground LA. I'll be getting those photos ready soon!

On Thursday, there was a report that the Cardinals requested permission to interview Todd Haley for their head coaching position.
The Steelers can't block Haley from taking the interview, but Haley can turn down the opportunity himself. According to Ed Werder of ESPN, Haley might wind up doing just that.
Per Werder, Haley has yet to agree to the interview because "he loves working for" the Steelers. It was a rocky first year for Haley in the role as he and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger never quite seemed to see eye to eye on the best way to run the offense.
Haley had a positive experience coordinating an offense run by Kurt Warner in Arizona before a somewhat less positive experience as the head coach of a Kansas City team quarterbacked by Matt Cassel. Given that, you can understand reticence about leaping into a muddled, to put it mildly, quarterback situation in Arizona even if things weren't all that smooth in Pittsburgh.

Jason Aldean Praises Taylor Swift for Bringing New Fans to Country Music
It's no secret that Taylor Swift is popular among the younger generation, girls especially — even the singer herself recognizes that she's a role model for millions. In a new interview with USA Today, 'Tattoos on This Town' crooner Jason Aldean tips his hat to the 22-year-old songstress, praising her for the innovative way in which she has expanded country music's audience.
"Taylor has gone out and brought a whole new fanbase to our world," Aldean remarks. "All these teenage girls that might not have listened to country before, she has brought them all into our genre. Nobody else is really doing that." Given that he has two young daughters at home, it's likely that Aldean is all too familiar with Swift's wide outreach.
The 'Ours' singer — who just celebrated her birthday on Tuesday — was recently honored as one of CMT's 2011 Artists of the Year alongside Aldean, Brad Paisley, Lady Antebellum and Kenny Chesney.
Swift and Aldean are currently both in the running for the 2011 Taste of Country Awards, with winners to be determined based on digital fan votes.

Join us Thursday, September 29th at the Bomb Snow World Headquarters for an amazing night of snowboarding-inspired photography as we celebrate "Perfect Moments Of Shred," a fundraiser for the A-ROB Plant A Seed Foundation.
The show will feature a curated collection of iconic images from snowboarding's most esteemed photographers that have never been available for public purchase. This limited edition series features work by internationally respected shooters: Jeff Curtes, Frode Sandbech, Andy Wright, Matt Georges, Jenna Low and Scott Serfas, just to name a few.
Proceeds from the event will help support the recently launched A-ROB Plant A Seed Foundation, a Whitefish-based, non-profit started after Aaron Robinson's untimely death while snowboarding in Chile this past summer. The Foundation will help carry out Aaron's dream of providing financially disadvantaged children the opportunity to experience and develop their own passion and love for snowboarding.
Join us from 6-11pm on Thursday, September 29th at 410 N. Broadway (next door to the Bozeman Brewery). Dress up attire (left to your interpretation) is encouraged. A silent auction including a YES board and Spark R&D bindings will be held during the show as well.

It's no excuse for cheating though. We are all predisposed for something. That doesn't mean we do it or get whatever it is. It means we look out for signs and deal with those signs. Granted he didn't know he should have been aware because up until now he didn't even know that his grandad did what he did. However, you don't just do whatever feels good because it's not always good, as we know in infinity.
If someone can't control their urges, then professional help is in order. Genetics aren't the end all in anything...fight through DNA and fight hard. Infidelity isn't cancer (something you can't always control), cheating is an action, one that you can keep yourself from doing. Hey, even if you have to tie yourself up in a straight jacket.

Stewart found his interest in photography at the young age of 15 while growing up in Little Rock, Arkansas. He was always seen spending his time living in the darkroom, working on the yearbook or school newspaper. Those formative years solidified his goals of having career in photography.
A few years later, he loaded up and followed his dreams to New York City to study at The School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. There he recieved his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in photography back in 2001. He began to shoot commercial assingments early on during his second year in school and things have taken off from there.
These days Stewart finds himself living in New Jersey with his wife and Two boys. His love has always been portraiture, but it's only a small portion of what has intrigued him about photography. The many personal projects he is always working on, mostly about his travels or life, always keeps him busy inbetween assignments.

In today's build-your-own edition of Speak Up on Kotaku, commenter Arok Lazarus shares with us how he and his girlfriend spent his first day playing Minecraft on the Xbox 360. What did you do?
Wooh Minecraft on the 360!
Here's what I did my first day on it: My girlfriend and I splitscreened the game for several hours and after doing the tutorial we went to live in the tutorial town for a while. My first night in the bed in a nice pre-built house I was attacked by a creeper! In my house with the door closed! My girlfriend slept in the prison, although we weren't aware it was a prison until I accidentally locked her in. After this little mishap we stockpiled our resources (we had no idea what we were doing so I got a few fish and some more wooden tools) and struck off for new land to call our own.
Settled for a land south of the tutorial town and promptly tunnelled a cave to live in temporarily. The next day I scouted for a place to build a house and my girlfriend started gathering more resources. Several creeper attacks over the course of a few days had us rebuilding our cave for a while and ultimately build a secret back entrance so we could escape if there was a creeper at our front door. Now we've managed to mostly level a very tall hill and we are now filling it in with dirt so we can start building our home.
In short, I love this game! I played it once on my laptop but the terrible framerate made it an unenjoyable experience to say the least. Now however I can see why so many people love this game. I think the nice soundtrack really helps the game a lot too.
About Speak Up on Kotaku: Our readers have a lot to say, and sometimes what they have to say has nothing to do with the stories we run.

— From NBC's Mark Murray
The ad war in Tennessee's toss-up Senate race continues -- with a brand-new TV advertisement by Harold Ford Jr.'s (D) campaign, which directly responds to 1) the Republican National Committee's controversial ad suggesting interracial dating and 2) another RNC ad charging Ford for supporting gay marriage and wanting to "give the abortion pill to our schoolchildren."
The Ford ad begins with an announcer stating: "The ads for Corker attacking Harold Ford? Despicable. Rotten. Lies." And then Ford speaks: "I'm Harold Ford, Jr. ... and now they've attacked my faith ... said I'm for gay marriage when I voted against it ... for giving schoolgirls abortion pills... all of it lies. Here's what I believe... in God, in you, and a new direction."

Brief update:
So far from the July 2008 top the Double Zig Zag count is still valid.
If this is the case form the May 2011 lower high price has to unfold a Zig Zag down (ABC).

Brief update:
The Ending Diagonal which have been monitoring and I have posted last week on Twitter/Stocktwits has played out establishing a temporary bottom.
If the count that I am following is correct, from the Februry 1 high price has completed the wave (A) of potential Zig Zag tehrefore price is now unfolding a countertren wave (B) rebound that should top either at 1.3134 or in the range 1.3228 - 1.3341
On the way to achieve a Fibonacci retracement…Continue

Daily momentum indicators are suggesting that price should carry out a larger rebound:
Posted on January 27, 2013 at 6:11pm 1 Comment 6 Likes
In my opinion the internal structure of the rebound from the July 24 low is clearly corrective. If you try to count it as impulsive it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Since everything within what can be counted as a 3-wave up leg is corrective maybe price from the November 13 low is unfolding an Ending Diagonal wave (C)
Both up legs of this potential wedge are corrective and so far the assumed wave (III) is shorter than the wave (I). If this…Continue

Mini vMac 3 on a Puppy machine
Download the emulation solftware plus sys7 here
EDIT: New version has OS 7.5.5 and a much bigger
image 100mb and more useful software Stuffitdeluxe 4.5
Diskcopy and Word perfect 1.2
Import and export apps are included too!!
However read my remarks about memory hogging
in the post down the page
I've put together an archive with all the software you need for
the emulation. I've included the Mac plus ROM called
Mac_Plus_ROM.zip which I got from this site
All the software in the archive is freely available
downloads or shareware or demos.
Here are the instructions to install Min vMac on your machine
i.e. the host machine is running puppy linux
I've gotten surprising good results with Mini vMac running on
puppy linux machine . (See image)
Instructions for quick install:
Make a folder(any name) on your hard drive and place the file 'Mini vMac'
and vMac.ROM in the folder.
You launch the app by clicking
on executable file 'Mini vMac' (or execute at terminal ./'Mini vMac').
Next step --->
Dragging the Mac OS 7.5.5 image (about 100mb) on the flashing icon to mount the image
which has all the necessary system 7.5.5 software inside.
That's it!!! Everything should be working now. It's simple
and quick. ... and it's very stable. The only negative
is it takes up some RAM of your machine , but only
a few megs. There is NO slowdown of your computer
unlike other emulators.
Extra info:
Press the control key for help system.
CTRL-Q CTRL-Y to quit and then say yes
To start load of system software again ---->
go to Special menu and chose 'Restart' or 'Shutdown' and drag Disk.dsk
into window again
If successful, restart and then drag the disk.dsk on the flashing icon to start the system software.
To stop the emulation ---> Shutdown from Mac menu and
then close emulation window.
I've included some apps I still had available
like a share ware version of stuffit, a menu clock
and a screen shot saver. The Wordperfect is a freeware
version. There is two versions of Stuffit . One
freeware and the other shareware. But beware that
these are old versions so they will only open early versions
of the archive format. This rule applies for
all old mac software. Formats have changed over the years.
Access to a new Mac machine may be necessary to open a
To make a screenshot press ALT - shift - 5
In the emulator the ALT key mimics Apple's Command key
Tip using BBedit Lite : Don't select 'Show invisibles' option.
It causes a crash, probably because symbols font isn't
Tip using games: I included lots of games. I highly recommend
'Columns' ---> use JKL keys for movement
Lots of games and more software are available

Post subject: Some advice and tips
Some advice and tips
To get a data file into the emulator you will have
to make an .dsk image file and drag it
into emulator window . Here's some good advice on images
Here is how I made the Disk.dsk--->
From the blank images -Choose at least 4 meg
Note that dragging any type of file into the emulator window will
convert it into a blank image!! But this practise is dangerous
since it zeros the file to make it a blank image.
Beware !! Data will be wiped out. You get a warning when
you drag the file into the emulator window but be careful anyway.
Name can be chosen. I renamed image file 'Disk.dsk'.
It's a good practise to use the extension .dsk for your
images that will be used. These images use
the old Mac file system known as HFS. The modern
SYSTEM X mac computers use a different file system known as HFS+
which is incompatible and the images use the extension .drg
-When installing System software choose to install
Mac Plus software to save space (about 1mb)
-Drag as many floppy disk images into window as possible
(however you will be told that there is a maximum of 5)
-Make sure that a blank writable dsk image is mounted
so that it can receive the final system folder
(this step is very important)
Dragging an image will mount the image automatically
Do not mount Print image because there is limit to
the number of images that can be mounted.
Launch the installer app.
Follow the instructions on screen. If you are told to
insert a disk then drag that disk image into window.
Next -- choose to restart or shutdown
Drag Disk.dsk to the window with the blinking disk icon
This will load the system software and all other files
inside the dsk image
Extra info:
You can mount a Macintosh HFS disk image file with commands such as:
mkdir /mnt/mac_disk
mount /the_image_path/the_image.dsk /mnt/mac_disk -t hfs -o loop
There is lots of software available at
Notes to explain how I made the dsk image:
I have included the Apple software System 7.0.1
System_7.0.1.smi.bin from the official Apple site but I have decompressed it to get the
individual images (there are 6 images)
..But there is a limit to the number of images that can be mounted simultaneously
so I started by mounting 5 of the images plus the Disk.iso
(leaving the print image unmounted)
You will see the installer application in one of the images .. Launch it
and follow the instructions. The system software will be installed in the
the image that you have dragged into window.
You should customize the installation to save about 1mb of space.
Click install and follow instructions.

Here is an alternate way to make an HFS file system image.
The author puts .hfs as the extension but .dsk would be preferable
"I figured out one good way to shovel one's data into minivmac. You can make a little HFS image file from a collection of separate files using the (standard unix) CD authoring tool "mkisofs":
mkisofs -hfs -hfs-unlock -probe -V "My Stuff" -o stuff.hfs Stuff/*
This creates a HFS volume in the file "stuff.hfs", which can immediately be mounted in minivmac. Because mkisofs is so cool, this even works if your Mac files have been mangled to work on another platform using AppleDouble, BinHex, PC Exchange, netatalk, or MacOS X's external format."
This worked for me when I tried it on Red Hat Linux 9. I noticed the man page warns against using -hfs-unlock (which prevents the disk image being set as locked), since "it's not a 'real' HFS volume." And indeed, Disk First Aid and Norton Utilities found problems with the created disk image.

I have also been able to get
Basilisk II
to work nicely with OS 8 and Puppy linux.
The advantages are many.
Color screen
CD ROM access
File sharing
More software available
I'll describe how I did it when I have more experience with the software.

Wordprocessing using mini vMac
Printing doesn't work in mini vMac but getting files in and
out of mini vMac isn't hard . This is explained on
mini vMac site
As well there is a clipboard utility included which works well.
There's a limited number of file translators available apparently
so Basilisk is preferable because maclink file translators
are available.
I was able to get Fullwrite and wordperfect to work.
Fullwrite is full featured and quick and freeware.

I decided to add the MAC_plus_ROM to my package of useful
I highly recommend that you install stuffit 4.0 or 4.5 to the
emulator. This will make installing more hardware possible.
In my next version of package I will do this.

I upgraded to Mac OS 7.5.5 since it has more features
and will run more software. ( It's in the download archive )
However there is a negative side to Mac OS 7.5.5
The system software alone requires nearly 2 mb to run.
Compare this to Mac OS 7 which required about 1 mb.
Since the emulation is a 4mb Mac plus machine, 2 mb doesn't leave
much room for apps to load. For instance a big app
like Fullwrite probably won't run properly in OS 7.5.5.
In this case I have left OS 7.0 images in the archive
just in case you ever need to install Mac OS 7.0 in
an emergency.
Don't forget to play the Columns game in the games folder.

thanks don,
this looks interesting; i've been wondering for a few months about a virtual machine on puppy running a powerpc version of mac: i thought it might make the project of porting puppy to the powerpc architecture more achievable if puppy users could try out the port without needing an actual ppc compu.
do you have a sense of how useful this virtualisation might be in this way, or am i missing some obvious disqualifier?
cheers, mm

Mac Emulator - Basilisk II is the more useful way of emulating
a mac. Not only does it show color but old CDs formated for the
Mac operating system can be opened by a linux machine
This is very useful for me since I have a lot of burnt CDs from
my days as a mac user that now can be easily opened.
You need to have an old OS 8 sys disc ( up to os 9)

Though the holidays are over, hundreds of Monsanto Company employees will continue to give back to their communities by participating in the company's second "Rural Hunger Volunteer Week."
Though the holidays are over, hundreds of Monsanto Company employees will continue to give back to their communities by participating in the company's second "Rural Hunger Volunteer Week." Employees at nearly 100 locations across the U.S. volunteered at local food banks or organize food collection drives in February as part of Monsanto's on-going push to combat hunger in rural America.
On Feb. 14, employees from Monsanto's Stuttgart Seed Site volunteered on behalf of nearly 150 families at Fish and Loaves, a food pantry organized through Victors' Empowerment Center in Stuttgart.
By mobilizing employees across the country, Monsanto hopes to make a real impact while bringing the issue of rural hunger into people's consciousness this winter, and throughout the year.
"Our site participated in Rural Hunger Volunteer Week because we feel it is very important to give back to the community that we live and work in," said Jeff Maupin, Stuttgart Monsanto Testing Operations Manager. "Our team plans to register 20 hours of volunteer time to earn a $250 grant through Monsanto's Employee Volunteer Program, and once we obtain the funds, Fish and Loaves will use the donation to purchase a new freezer."
To fight rural hunger, the Stuttgart Monsanto site unloaded packaged items, weighed goods, and organized food baskets for less fortunate families in the Stuttgart community.
Even though America's farmers are among the most productive and efficient in the world, hunger is a significant problem in America — and rural America is no exception. According to Feeding America, more than 15 percent of rural households are food insecure. That is around three million households in the very communities where much of the world's supply is raised.
"As counterintuitive as it may seem, there are millions of rural families that simply don't know where their next meal will come from," said Brenda Cockrell, Monsanto's Global Volunteer Program Manager. "As a company with deep roots in rural America, we are committed to helping address this problem. That is what Rural Hunger Volunteer Week is all about."
Monsanto is an unwavering supporter of America's farmers and their communities. In addition to Rural Hunger Volunteer Week, the company is involved in several other key efforts to fight hunger in America. Recently, Monsanto pledged $3 million to Invest an Acre, a partnership which helps farmers support their local food banks. Other efforts include annual food drives at industry tradeshows, which have raised 80,000 pounds of food over three years, as well as donations to rural food banks amounting to $300,000 through the Monsanto Fund's America's Farmers Grow Communities program.
More information about Monsanto's commitment to end rural hunger can be found at www.monsanto.com/fightinghunger.

Water Resistant Watches are sealed to witstand some pressure.
Water resistance is tested in measurements of atmosphere (ATM). Each ATM denotes 10 meters of static water-pressure. This is not the depth to which a watch can be worn. Many watch cases will list the basic measurement of 1 ATM as "water-resistant." These watches will withstand small splashes of water but should not be worn while washing the hands or submerging the hands in water.
Remember, water resistance is tested under static conditions. Wearing a watch which is 50 metres water resistant in water will expose the watch to a much greater pressure than during a 50 metre static test. Therefore the number of metres shown on the watch does not indicate the depth that the watch can be taken to.
Here is a general guide
50M = 5ATM = Shower Proof - it's ok to get it wet a bit.
100M = 10ATM = Extended Water Exposure good for swimming or snorkeling.
200M = 20ATM = Pressure Resistant made for Scuba and Skin Diving.
Q: A 100M watch is surely strong enough on a shallow dive?!
A: No! It isn't because it has not been high pressure sealed. 100M watches are only good for Snorkeling!
Q: What will happen if I try to dive with a watch that is less than 200M Resistant?
A: The watch's seal will be broken, it will flood and break..irrepairably.
Q: So which watch to buy?
A: Think about what you need it for and bear in mind that Scuba Watches (200M) look really cool but tend to be very heavy, which makes them uncomfortable for everyday use.

Box Score - Game 1
Box Score - Game 2
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Junior Heather Warren belted a grand slam and tossed a complete game shutout on Friday afternoon, to help visiting Clark University sweep a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) doubleheader from MIT on Briggs Field. The Cougars pounded out 24 hits over the two-game span, earning victories by scores of 21-1 and 12-0.
Both games were shortened to five innings.
Clark improved to 17-13 overall and 8-6 in the NEWMAC with its first successful conference sweep of the season. Previously, the team from Worcester, Mass., had split all six of its twinbills. The Engineers dropped to 1-22 and 0-14 with the losses.
A pair of freshmen - second baseman Lauren Blake and pitcher Melissa Traft - led the offensive charge for the Cougars with five RBI apiece over the course of the two games. Warren drove in four runs, all on her grand slam in the second inning of game two. The homerun was her conference-leading 11th of the season to go along with her NEWMAC-best .510 batting average.
The first game of the afternoon saw Clark take advantage of extended innings following costly Tech errors, as all ten runs that the Cougars scored in the opening two innings were unearned. In fact, 20 of Clark's 21 runs in game one were of the unearned variety, as the Cardinal and Gray were unable to recover from seven errors.
The Cougars' seven-run first inning was highlighted by RBI base-hits by Darcy Kurashige-Elliott, Kaitlin Kelley, Blake and Traft. They picked up three more in the second, thanks in part to a Kelley RBI-single, as she punched a hit through the left side to drive in Kurashige-Elliott.
Clark added 11 more in the top of the fourth frame, with Traft and Blake each driving in a pair, while junior Julie Parnell and freshman Chelsea Proulx both added an RBI.
The Engineers grabbed some consolation by breaking up the shutout bid in the bottom of the fifth inning. Freshman catcher Kasey Rowe led off with her third double of the season before advancing to third on an error. Junior Joy Dunn then drove her in to pick up her first RBI of the year.
Traft (10-4) earned the victory on the mound for Clark, allowing just three hits and one earned run while striking out four and walking none in five innings of work. Freshman Priscilla Army (0-3) tossed 3.1 innings, allowing ten hits and 14 runs, but remarkably, just one was earned. She picked up four strikeouts to go along with seven walks. Junior Amanda Poteet threw 1.2 innings in relief, allowing seven runs (all unearned) on three hits and striking out three while issuing just one free pass.
The nightcap again saw the Cougars jump out to an early lead and never look back, as a Lauren Ackein two-RBI triple to right center in the first inning set the tone for the rest of the evening.
Clark added six to its run-total in the top of the second, aided in large part by Warren's grand slam. Freshman Joanna Clark and Blake drove in the other two runs.
The visitors scored their final runs of the night in the fourth frame, as Traft smashed her first homerun of the year after a Warren triple and a Clark walk.
MIT threatened to cut into the lead in the bottom of the fourth, as consecutive singles by Leah Bogsted, Amanda Jason and Chelsea Ostrander loaded the bases with one out, but a sharp line drive to center by Rowe was dealt with before the inning was ended on a fielder's choice.
Warren moved to 5-6 on the season by tossing the complete game shutout, as she struck out two and walked none while surrendering just five hits. Bogsted (1-9) threw all five innings in taking the loss, allowing 12 runs (ten earned) on 11 hits while striking out five and walking two.
The Engineers will conclude their regular season NEWMAC schedule tomorrow afternoon with a doubleheader at Springfield College beginning at 12:00 p.m., while Clark will host Babson College in a conference twinbill at the same time.

IPFA, bridging the interests of donors - collection centers -
fractionation centers - patients
The International Plasma and Fractionation Association (IPFA) is the international umbrella association promoting the interests and activities of its member organisations involved in the collection of human blood and plasma, and the manufacture and supply of medicines derived from human plasma.
Plasma-derived medicines are essential for the treatment of coagulation factor deficiencies such as haemophilia, immune deficiencies as well as immune system related diseases such as inflammatory and auto-immune diseases, and circulatory dysfunctions such as shock. These medicines are recognised by the World Health Association (WHO) as essential for any health care programme.
IPFA and its member organisations strive to ensure greater global and national access to these life saving plasma-derived medicinal products for patients and healthcare providers based on a preference for and commitment to the "gift model" of blood and plasma donation without remuneration (Voluntary Non Remunerated Blood Donation, VNRBD) and the "Not for Profit business model" where no financial gain flows from VNRBD to external or individual stakeholder.

ESQUIMALT, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 23, 2012) - The Commanding Officers of Her Majesty's Canadian Ships (HMCS) Toronto and Calgary have their pride at stake and will be watching the 100th Grey Cup closely. The losing Commanding Officer will wear the jersey and ball cap of the winning team, and also fly the respective flag at sea for a day.
"I look forward to seeing an Argonauts jersey and ball cap on the Commanding Officer of HMCS Calgary. Seeing Calgary fly the Argo flag at sea and having the wonderful city of Toronto represented on both coasts will be a great honour," said Commander David Patchell, Commanding Officer of HMCS Toronto.
"There is nothing like having some Royal Canadian Navy fun while watching the Grey Cup," said Commander Paul Francoeur, Commanding Officer of HMCS Calgary. "I am going to have a big grin as I watch Toronto sail on her next deployment flying the Stamps flag off her yardarm."
As both warships' crews enjoy the 100th Grey Cup and look forward to the results, they also continue with their day-to-day work.
The Commanding Officer and Coxswain of HMCS Toronto recently visited their namesake city. The visit allowed the ship's company to connect with Canadians and to deepen their relationship with their namesake city. While in Toronto, they had the opportunity to visit Mayor Ford, Honourary Captain (Navy) Sonja Bata and participate in a Remembrance Day ceremony at the Royal York. The warship is now preparing for upcoming deployments.
HMCS Calgary is currently progressing through a planned mid-life modernization program designed to ensure that she maintains her operational capability and effectiveness to the end of her projected service life. For more information about that program, please visit http://www.materiel.forces.gc.ca/en/hcmf.page

Nobel Thoughts
This is one of the great values of the Nobel for American readers, and perhaps one of the only things that makes it, unlike most other awards, culturally valuable. Its profile is high enough that, in the right circumstances, it can propel writers into view who would otherwise remain at best only barely visible.
Of course, this is not mainly what it does. As often as not, the Nobel goes to writers who are already prominent. This is much less interesting, although I will admit to celebrating when it goes to writers who are or have been particularly meaningful in my reading life, which has been true of some of the recent awards (Lessing, Pinter, Coetzee). I, too, could make a list, though, of recipients whose work does not interest me or, beyond that, seems undeserving of such accolades (Toni Morrison, William Golding, John Steinbeck, Winston Churchill, Pearl Buck, Sinclair Lewis -- interestingly, all writers writing in English, perhaps because I am most confident of my judgment there).
But then there are writers such as Gao Xingjian and Jose Saramago whose work I discovered because of the new prominence the Nobel gave them, and those are discoveries I treasure. (Someone like Elfriede Jelinek is a more problematic case, someone whose work I sampled and found interesting, but I'm wary of the difficulties and inadequacies of the translation of her work into English.)
Before the announcement of the award, all the news in the lit'ry world was about the chair of the prize committee's comments that "The U.S. is too isolated, too insular. They don't translate enough and don't really participate in the big dialogue of literature. That ignorance is restraining." He also made some comments about Europe being the center of all literature or somesuch, and that seems to me to be too much of an us-versus-the-world mentality, but I don't know why there were so many knee-jerk negative reactions from U.S. critics (well responded to by The Literary Saloon) to the comment about insularity and isolation. Do we really need to further promote the insidious idea of American exceptionalism? "We're not isolated and insular, we're the best!" Come on. We don't translate nearly enough, and there are many conversations about literature going on in the world that we are utterly oblivious to. Horace Engdahl may have painted with too broad a brush, but we shouldn't deny the fact that it takes an awful lot of work and luck to get American readers interested in writers from outside our borders.
The Nobel is sometimes a good force against that insularity and isolation, because it plays well with our celebrity culture. It can cause American companies to translate and publish previously unavailable work, and cause American readers to buy the work in enough quantity to keep such efforts going. I wish the Nobel had the power to do that for dozens of writers each year, not just one.

Finding That Blue And Silver Lining
There are times, in life, when things aren't going exactly as you would hope. In those times it is difficult to remain positive. Focusing on the negative just seems so much more natural. I know it sure is true in my case. I can't speak for you of course. We all handle things in our own way. Some manage to look on the bright side no matter what. I, for one, could learn a lot from these people.
The one thing that 99.9% of visitors to this site have in common is obvious. Our love for the Dallas Cowboys.
Being the cynic that I am I tend to look at negative things in life and take for granted all the good things going on. Looking back on the 2008 season I've focused on lack of discipline, lack of leadership and a general sense of discord with the Cowboys organization as a whole. But there were some amazing moments this year. New faces emerged and old reliables continued to amaze us.
Felix Jones
How many of us saw this guy coming? His incredible burst and open-field speed left friend and foe alike wide-eyed with mouths hanging open in amazement. Not to mention you would be hard pressed to ever see him without a smile on his face. This young man has a very bright future ahead of him and I know we all look forward to watching him grow into the elite running back he obviously has the potential to be. I have no doubt that had he not gotten injured and subsequently put on injured reserve he would be the 2008 NFL Rookie of the Year.
DeMarcus Ware
Just when you think this guy couldn't get any better what does he do? He gets better. His athleticism and sheer determination are something to behold. This man is a game changer. A difference maker. One of the greatest linebackers I've ever seen play the position and I've seen plenty. My personal choice for Defensive Player of the Year. I have no doubt he will be a Hall of Famer. First ballot. Bank on it. And he's a Dallas Cowboy baby!
Jason Witten
Can you have a more solid teammate than Jason Witten? The greatest tight end in the game today, bar none. He's always willing to give a little extra. Even with injuries that would have sidelined most players, Witten never relented, always stayed focused on the task at hand and never let anyone down. A warrior.
Tashard Choice
If you haven't seen it yet check out the Georgia Tech locker room speech video of Choice posted on youtube. This video alone makes you well up with pride that he wears the blue and silver. His running style and ability to find the hole and to get extra yards where most players wouldn't reminds me so much of Emmitt Smith. This guy is a legend in the making.
Bradie James
James is emerging as a true leader on the defensive unit. This diamond in the rough is only going to get better. I mean.. 116 tackles and 8 sacks at inside linebacker. Are you freaking kidding me? Should be a Pro Bowler. I have the upmost respect for Bradie James. He's a great interview and has no problem telling it like it is.
These are just a few of what was arguably the largest collection of talent on any team in the NFL. Yeah, as a whole this team underachieved. But they will be alright. They will right the ship. Nothing comes easy in the NFL. Chalk 2008 up as a learning experience. What's done is done. Time to move on.
On this day on January 28, 1996 the Dallas Cowboys beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XXX. Number 5. They were not and are not done. Not by a long shot.
The destiny of the Dallas Cowboys is the same as it has always been. Greatness. Some things never change, my friend. I'll never stop believing in this team. Many, many great men have donned the blue and silver. More have arrived and more will follow. No team does greatness-knows greatness-like the Dallas Cowboys. Glorious battles and future gold are just over the horizon. All we have to do now is wait for the clouds to break and follow the stars.

This is a lesson about the solar wind, Earth's magnetosphere, and the Moon. Participants will work in groups of two or three to build a model of the Sun-Earth-Moon system. They will use the model to demonstrate that the Earth is protected from... (View More) particles streaming out of the Sun, called the solar wind, by a magnetic shield called the magnetosphere, and that the Moon is periodically protected from these particles as it moves in its orbit around the Earth. Participants will also learn that the NASA ARTEMIS mission is a pair of satellites orbiting the Moon that measure the intensity of solar particles streaming from the Sun. (View Less)
This is a lesson/briefing about the Dawn mission and the significance of its ion propulsion system.
