1967 BMW 2000CS
By Carter March 3, 2019 March 3, 2019 BMW
Stepping even a bit further back in BMW's timeline, today we have a Neue Klasse Coupe. The E120 was as evolution of the Bertone 3200CS design from the early 1960s, but BMW's design head – one very famous Mr. Wilhelm Hofmeister – certainly added his own distinctive flair. However, he wasn't alone – some of the most famous car designers from the period had influence – from the aforementioned Bertone, Giugiaro, and of course Michelotti (designer of the 700 series as well) all had a hand.
While the lines looked exotic, underneath the chassis and drivetrain were borrowed straight from the more pedestrian Neue Klasse sedans. Power came from the venerable 2.0 inline-4 M10 fed by twin Solex carbs. The CS had the higher compression (9.3:1) 120 horsepower version, while the C and CA made due with 100. This was still a huge step for BMW, who lacked the capability to produce the complex body structure on its normal assembly lines. As a result, like its successors the E9 and early E24 models, the 2000C, CA and CS Coupes would be produced by Karmann in Osnabrück. A total of approximately 13,691 were produced between its 1965 launch and the takeover of the 2800CS introduction in 1968.
So, they're old, a bit quirky-looking by BMW standards, and rare. That certainly makes for the potential for a collector car! And this one is claimed to be a mostly original survivor, to boot:

Golden Green 1967 Porsche 912 Soft-window Targa
By Rob November 8, 2018 November 13, 2018 Porsche, SOLD
Update 11/13/18: This 912 Soft-window Targa sold for $50,217.99.
I began my post on a recent 993 Turbo S by stating, "this is everything." In a very different way my reaction to this Golden Green 1967 Porsche 912 Soft-window Targa is similar. For pure lust the Turbo S certainly wins the day, but some of the allure of that car was in the details and that is where the overlap lies with this 912. There is enough here to pore over that interested parties could spend hours simply looking through these pictures.
We'll begin with the color. Golden Green is not a color I've seen before. It only was available for a couple years in the '60s and generally isn't one that we come across among the many PTS 911s that have been produced since. It is sort of in the vein of Lindgrün (also called Chartreuse) that was produced in the '70s though Golden Green doesn't look as bright to me. As the name suggests it possesses a yellow/gold hue to its non-metallic green. That golden hue allows it to change kind of dramatically from sun to shade. The pictures here do a pretty good job of capturing that transformation. This is said to be the only Soft-window Targa produced in 1967 in this color with only 4 others made in 1968. So it's very rare. I don't know how many Coupes might also exist, but as I said this is the first I have seen it so I'm guessing there aren't many.
The other part of this is the Soft-window Targa itself, Porsche's answer to what they thought would be the death of the open-roofed car. Such tragedies never befell the car industry and the soft rear window eventually was replaced with the glass rear with which we're all very familiar on 911 Targas even to this day. But the SWT is an interesting design and interesting engineering answer to a potential problem. They make for great historical models and given their short production run are quite rare in themselves. So there's a good bit going on here and the seller has provided quite a few pictures to document this Targa's condition. Add to all of that it is up for auction without reserve.

The last Mercedes-Benz 600 I looked at was a wonderful example that was originally owned by NBC Orchestra conductor Don Ricardo. It was a cool little story that was mostly complete and ready to keep being enjoyed by a new owner — as long as you had a big enough bank account. Today, I have another 600 but this has little information and being sold by the source themselves. Who is that source? None other than the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center. Sounds like a perfect situation to buy a car, right?

1967 Porsche 911 Coupe
By Rob July 3, 2018 July 3, 2018 Porsche
While not necessarily surprising given their age the early short-wheelbase 911s really do not come around that often, even relative to the later long-hood models. This one I think looks particularly good. This is a Polo Red 1967 Porsche 911 Coupe with a set of lovely black, white, and red houndstooth seat inserts in the interior that looks fantastic as a contrast to the Polo Red exterior.
1967 brought with it a couple changes to the 911 lineup. Of perhaps greatest importance is it marked the debut of the 911 Targa, which at this early stage was in the quirky soft-window form. The Targa would be a mainstay of the 911 lineup for nearly 30 years before going on a brief hiatus after a redesign for the 993. This also was the first year for the top-of-the-line 911S. Of course, neither of those things applies to this 911, which is a base model Coupe, but we might as well account for the available options. Another change, which this time does apply to this 911, was the replacement of the wood dash with an aluminum dash. For me that's a little bit to the '67 911's detriment as those wood dashes were so good looking, but the aluminum look perhaps provides a little more of a sporting feel.

1967 Porsche 911S Coupe
By Rob February 28, 2018 February 28, 2018 Porsche
While the number of 911 models Porsche produces has grown considerably over the years, catering to just about every possible combination you can conceive, a consistent moniker has stood out for those seeking higher performance: the S. Whether the 911S, the Carrera S, the Turbo S, or the various RS models (those count right?) that single letter has let buyers know that it would be a model catering more to their spirited side rather than to comfort. While the S was on hiatus during the late-70s and all of the '80s it returned in Turbo S form (and Carrera RS form) for the 964 and then finally found itself reattached to the Carrera itself with the Carrera S and 4S, both of which debuted as part of the 993 line. It hasn't left us since.
But it began here, in 1967, with the 911S. In the '60s, buyers initially only had access to the base 911. That was it, one choice. In 1967 the lineup expanded with the addition of the 911S and the Soft-window Targa, available both in S trim and without. The S brought with it the sort of features we'd expect: More power (up to 160 hp from the base 911's 130), upgraded shocks and brakes, along with a rear anti-roll bar and Fuchs wheels. Leatherette on the dash and wheel provided interior upgrades. The 911 had become sportier. And then it wasn't. For 1968 Porsche gave us the 911L and removed the S from the US lineup. Thankfully, 1969 saw its return, now placed above the entry-level 911T and mid-grade 911E, and all 911s had a longer wheelbase.
That makes the one-year-only short-wheelbase 911S a pretty special car and here we find one for sale: an Irish Green 1967 Porsche 911S Coupe, located in Washington, with a reported 29,177 miles on it.

Feature Listing: 1967 NSU TT
By Carter February 8, 2018 November 16, 2018 Audi, NSU
As Konrad Adenauer slowly rebuilt West German in the post-War era, the resulting Wirtschaftswunder finally realized the economic prosperity necessary for personal automobile ownership; something that Germany had lagged far behind its rivals in until well after the War. Though they had developed the first motorized carriages and had a reputation as a nation of drivers thanks to some clever Nazi propaganda and the development of the revolutionary highway system, the reality was that in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s Germany was a nation of riders – motorcycles, that is.
It comes as no surprise, then, that the fledgling car companies which were the most successful at first were able to incorporate motorcycle technology into their automobiles. This kept development and production costs down, and in turn meant that the company could bring a small, economical car to market much more inexpensively than a traditional manufacturer. This worked perfectly for BMW, whose Isetta and later 700 models paved the way for the modern car company you know today. But BMW was not the only motorcycle-engine toting company, and though the name isn't as well-known today, it was NSU Motorenwerke that was the world's premier motorcycle producer in the 1950s. So, in the late 1950s, NSU put those great engines to work in the back of their new economy car – the Prinz.
The Prinz would go on over the next decade to develop several times. The Prinz I-III models featured continuous upgrades, better driveability, and more power from the twin. But in 1961 the Prinz 4 model took NSU to a much larger market. It featured modern 3-box sedan styling, though it retained the twin drivetrain from the earlier models. The Prinz 1000 model rectified the motivation issues, introducing a new air-cooled 1000cc inline-4. This package was then further developed into a sporting model; the TT. Named after the famous 'Tourist Trophy' races of the 1960s, a bigger motor with more power was met with larger wheels and tires and revised styling. Like the BMW 700, these NSU TTs and the subsequent TTS model formed the basis of their respective companies post-War racing efforts, and are still fan-favorites in vintage racing today. But in the U.S., though all NSU models are rare, the TT and TTS are especially so. That's what makes it such a treat to see an example like this one for sale today:

1967 BMW Glas 3000 V8
By Carter September 1, 2017 September 1, 2017 BMW
Two names appear in this post that aren't nearly as widely recognized as they should be. The first is Andreas Glas, the proprietor of Hans Glas GmbH. In the 1960s, this company briefly moved away from its bonds as constructor of sewing machines and licensed Goggomobils to produce some seriously pretty coupes; the 1300GT and 1700GT were the first and better known, but the 2600 and 3000V8 were no less striking. That's because of the second name involved in this post; Pietro Frua.
Frua isn't nearly as well known as the other great Italian designers of the 1960s, but he had a unique style all his own. Well before Gandini and Giugiaro capitalized on the angular wedge era of automotive design, Frua's low, long and flat lines stood sharply apart from the rounded arches that dominated Pininfarina, Ghia and Vignale. Glas used the designs, along with the pioneering use of timing belts, to offer a slightly different vision of German transportation. It was more emotive, more flowing and, frankly, more pretty than just about anything else in period from the major manufacturers. Indeed, many compared Frua's work on the 2600 to the Maserati Sebring – exotic company, indeed, and fitting given that the designer went on to work on several of the Trident's designs.
But Hans Glas GmbH was bought out outright by BMW, mostly for the procurement of the Dingolfing plant and engineering crew. Before BMW closed the chapter, though, they updated a few of the Glas designs with new Munich power, stuck some BMW badges on them and Viola! A new catalog of cars! This 1967 BMW Glas 3000 V8 is an example of the seldom seen period of BMW history:

1967 Porsche 912 Soft-window Targa
By Rob June 9, 2017 June 9, 2017 Porsche
Honestly, I don't really like to feature modified Porsches all that often. Some are really attractive and well executed, but the reality is that from a distance it's always hard to truly gauge them and there is so much subjectivity built into modified cars in general that the market can be extremely narrow. Then there are the asking prices, which in many cases tend to be…let's just say they're very optimistic.
That bit of preamble leads me to the modified Porsche we see here: originally a 1967 Porsche 912 Soft-window Targa, but now sporting a 3.2 liter flat-six. It is intended to mirror the ethos of the outlaw and R-Gruppe 911s popular in California and in that regard it serves as an interesting example. I also find it a very interesting use of a 912 Soft-window Targa platform, something which in itself possesses a good deal of quirkiness and which rarely serves this purpose. And that's why I'm featuring it: among the many modified Porsche 911s and 912s I see this one stands apart quite a bit. It still won't be for everyone, but there is something very cool about this car that I could see really attracting a lot of attention and conversation.

Engine: 3.2 liter flat-6
Mileage: not listed
Price: Reserve Auction
This is a 911 hotrod (or "Outlaw" or "R Gruppe") made from a 1967 912. It was built by TLG Porsche of N. Hollywood, CA. It was built to imagine what a Soft Window Targa (SWT) R Gruppe 911 would have been. It was an expensive build at the time and built to a high standard of quality. The car started as a stripped 1967 SWT tub. Steel '73 911 fenders, RS flares and bumpers, RS torsion bars, 930 brakes, and a 915 tranny were added. The wheels are 15″ 7's and 8's. A new 3.2 block was built to 285 HP using a mild cam, bigger valves, and a Haltech engine management system. An RS oil cooler was added in the front wheel well. The easily torqued SWT tub was stiffened using a full roll cage that isn't too visible. It has a heater and a radio.
When I bought this car in 2012, it was running very rough. But without the Haltech software or expertise to tune it, we just couldn't get it to run properly. So we replaced the EMS with a new PMO carb set. The transmission was also rebuilt. It is now the best shifting 915 I've driven. New GTS Classics seats were added, as well as new Schroth Profi II 6-point harnesses. Recently, a MSD 6A ignition unit was added.
The paint is still very nice with only some minor imperfections. The targa top and back window are believed to be original and all in very good shape.
You can't help but smile when you drive this car. It is stiffer than a coupe. It is a different kind of sleeper that will frustrate the car ahead of or beside you.
Message for more high resolution photos.
Here is a recent cold start video. https://youtu.be/oJGkUmJEesQ Note for some reason, the car shows up as more red than orange in the video. The photos do a better job showing the real color.
We don't see many short-wheelbase 911/912 with a widened rear like this one, but it makes for a neat design. It's a bit more squat and rounded looking than the typical 911 of this period. It reminds me a little of the 964 in that regard. The Soft-window Targa completes the aesthetic and this is about as unique a Porsche as you're likely to see. The strangeness of the SWT rounds out this car's personality well. I got a bit of a chuckle out of the seller's comment that the added roll cage "isn't too visible." I mean, I'm not really sure how you'd miss it! I suppose from a distance outside the car the point stands, but close up and certainly inside it's pretty apparent. It doesn't bother me at all, but I did think it was funny.
Naturally, assuming a buyer's particular desire for a build like this, you'll want to give it a full mechanical appraisal. It sounds like the current owner has a decent knowledge of the build and its current operation, but he wasn't the owner that instigated the original work so there may be issues unknown to this point, or just general points of troubleshooting that it'd be worthwhile to know. If the power is as advertised I imagine it's a hell of a lot of fun to drive and the added stiffness of the roll cage probably much appreciated. And really that's just what you're after with a car like this. Get in and enjoy the drive!

Golf Blue 1967 Porsche 911
Not to be confused with the perhaps much more well known color of Gulf Blue, here we have a Golf Blue 1967 Porsche 911. Gulf Blue (code 328) is the color of racing, Golf Blue (code 6603) is…well I don't know what Golf Blue as a color represents, but on early 911s it was perhaps the best of the blues and we even see it show up as a PTS option now and then on modern 911s. I would guess Golf Blue is the more rare of the two as well given that it was only available for a couple of years very early in the 911's life. So we don't see one often and when we do we must take notice.

more infos and photos upon request.
The seller has provided us with a decent number of pictures to evaluate that lovely Golf Blue exterior. The interior, however, remains mostly a mystery. The interior pictures don't tell us much, nor show us much. What we can see looks fine and we can tell things aren't entirely original, otherwise I don't know. The mileage is a similar mystery. It certainly doesn't have a mere 120 miles on it and there's no word of a substantial rebuild or restoration that would suggest this is the mileage since completion. So at the moment it's more or less a random number.
These issues represent the basic situation with this 911. We don't know a lot, nor are we provided with much to verify its originality and history. So there's a good bit of work to be done by prospective buyers. That said, the asking price really isn't that bad. That assumes original colors and matching numbers as the ad suggests, but at least we know that the seller isn't trying to get things too out of hand. Depending on how much documentation actually exists the price probably can even come down a bit and in the end someone should end up with a great and rare early Porsche color on a nice short-wheelbase 911.

I wouldn't say it's all that easy to tell from the pictures, but this appears to be a pretty nice looking and very interesting Porsche 912. Of particular interest is that it is one of the early Targas with the removable rear window, otherwise known as the Soft-window Targa. There aren't a lot of these because Porsche only kept the design around for a few years before introducing the glass window with which we're all quite familiar and which became the mainstay of the design until the 993. Of course, contrary to my claim of it being "interesting" the glass window replaced the soft window mostly because buyers preferred it. That does make them rare though and as a window into one of Porsche's engineering ideas they do make for a nice piece of history.
This particular example is a Black 1967 Porsche 912 Soft-window Targa, located in New York, with Red interior and 70,400 miles on it. The owner claims this color combination is the only one of its kind on this model. I don't know if that can be verified with certainty, but I feel pretty assured of its rarity regardless of whether it's the only one.
Personal circumstances are forcing me to sell my beloved 1967 Porsche 912 soft window Targa, black on red. 100% matching numbers and color codes, confirmed by certificate of authenticity. Both cosmetically and mechanically, the car has been well-maintained during my ownership in order to keep the car in top running condition.
Excellent mechanical condition with original engine and original smooth shifting manual optional 5-speed gearbox. Solid undercarriage and a very straight body. A great investment that is an absolute pleasure to drive while it continues to appreciate.
In total, Porsche produced nearly 30,000 912 coupe units versus only 2500 912 Targas, of which only about 200 soft-windows remain in the registry. This car is the only original black on red 1967 Targa known to exist. (According to the Oct. 1967 Christophorus magazine, only 3% of the 912 production run was black, making any originally black Targa extremely rare, even more so a first year Targa). The 1967, first year Targas with the short wheelbase, green gauges, no side-markers, no smog pump, batwing horn, chrome bumperettes, etc. remain the most elegant and desirable.
70,XXX original miles, confirmed by continuous service records. Never hit or damaged.
Desirable 5 speed transmission and 5 gauge dash. Original dated ventilated chrome wheels, with dated spare (all 2-67). All body panels are original.
High quality, glass out repaint in the original black. The body panels were stripped down to the metal and hand dollied. The remaining undercoating was prepped and sprayed with a catalyzed undercoating product not only on the bottom of the car, but also on the interior floor pan and rear seat area. The entire body was coated with epoxy primer and hand blocked prior to painting, then wet sanded and polished. The entire hood, bumper and headlight area was then professionally covered with Xpel film so there are no rock chips ($1050). The paint has a beautiful, deep gloss shine, and all the brightwork is in good shape.
The body rubber and seals were replaced upon re-assembly.
The car has always been stored indoors and with a high quality custom made cover (Covercraft), which I will include in the sale.
The motor, transmission, and other mechanicals are strong and ready for years of enjoyment by the next owner. The car starts, runs, shifts, brakes, etc. without issue. A stack of receipts and records are included in the sale.
Here is a partial list of new parts/improvements: New soft window, new soft window boot cover, Targa top refinished in correct German Vinyl ($710), new weather stripping all around (over $1500), new screws, gas filler flap & cap, new interior mirror, new Coco Mats, new matching black Porsche center caps. (original center caps also included in sale), custom-made Covercraft cover, custom made velour velcro removable dash cover (to protect the dash on hot days), custom Car Jacket for winter storage, new mounted halide fire extinguisher, new OEM Hella fog lights ($620), new Pirelli tires, new (mechanical) fuel pump, new WEVO shifter, gas tank cleaned, re-sealed and repainted in correct grey, carbs rebuilt and tuned, etc. etc. etc.
The car won Best Porsche at the 2014 Scarsdale Concours (second oldest concours on the East Coast). Personally would not call it a concours car (it is an excellent condition driver) but the judges went for the rarity, great color combo, and highly original presentation.
I can assist in shipping anywhere in the Continental U.S.
We've seen some 912s sell for pretty high prices lately when presented in excellent condition and in rare colors so I'll be pretty curious if this one sells. The price certainly is high for a 912, but it's not the highest price I've seen and the soft-window tends to command a premium. While black never seems like it should be a rare color, as I mentioned in an earlier post this week it doesn't seem all that common on long-hood Porsches. Combined with the Red interior we certainly have something that should garner plenty of interest.
Again, the pictures aren't terribly helpful here, but this 912 does look in nice condition all around. It's said to have its original engine and transmission and that the mileage is fully documented. It's been repainted though retains all of its original panels. The seats look like they've probably been redone, but that isn't stated. The seller also has provided a list of recently replaced/refurbished items. Given the thorough documentation and originality this Targa should fetch a pretty good price. $72K is a lot for a 912 though so we'll have to see if it can reach this price.

Harrison College named Military Friendly School
As Harrison College (formerly Indiana Business College) continues to strive to better serve its current and future military students, it is honored with being named as one of the 2010 Military Friendly Schools.
The list honors the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools which are doing the most to embrace America's veterans as students.
Ramone Cooper, manager of scorporate and military partnerships states: "As, a former service member myself I am truly excited about the initiatives that have been embarked upon by Harrison College. These initiatives are designed to ensure that not only my fellow service members but also their spouses, dependents, and retirees are embraced by Harrison's Military Friendly environment as they pursue their educational goals."
The list was compiled through exhaustive research starting last May during which G.I. Jobs polled more than 7,000 schools nationwide. Methodology, criteria and weighting for the list were developed with the assistance of an Academic Advisory Committee consisting of educators and administrators from Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Toledo, Duquesne University, Coastline Community College and Lincoln Technical Institute.
"This honor shows the clear dedication by every employee at Harrison College to assist each military student or military family member, to not only get enrolled in school but also to excel in school," said Ken Konesco, president of Harrison College.
The hardships that military personal and their families go through while trying to attend or complete a college degree is overwhelming. Harrison College's program includes support groups for service members and their families, assistance with financial aid for service members and their families and special credit transfers for service members.

Click here Scheme of Delegation 2019/20 to see a PDF of the diagram.
The Frassati Catholic Academy came into existence on 7th June 2013. The diagram above (being reviewed July 2019) shows the Governance structure of the Frassati Catholic Academy and how the Board of Directors Headteacher Committee and the Local Board Committees relate to each other.
What is the Board of Directors and a Foundation Director?
The Board of Directors comprises of a range of governors. There is one elected Staff director, a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and eight Foundation directors. Collectively, they provide strategic direction across all five schools and they are responsible for preserving and developing the Frassati's Catholic character at all times. This overriding duty (which is also a legal duty) should permeate everything that the Directors do. In addition:
MAT Directors are company directors and charity trustees.
The Directors are responsible to the Archbishop, to the Government and to the MAC Members for the quality of education in the academies.
Directors are responsible for the general control and management of the administration of the MAC.
Directors have a duty to uphold the MAT's objects and to comply with any directives, advice and/or guidance issued by the Archbishop via the DES.
Foundation Governors (Directors and Representatives) are appointed by the local Bishop specifically to preserve and develop the Catholic ethos of the school and represent the Bishop's education policy (e.g. worship and religious education) to the governing body. This is why Foundation Governors will always outnumber other governors on either the local Academy Committee or the Board of Directors. There is no magic formula about what makes a perfect Foundation Governor, they come from all walks of life and all ages. But it is important that each governing body has a good mix of skills, knowledge and experience. The Archdiocese of Portsmouth, manages the process for the appointment of Foundation Governors and provides support to governing bodies in carrying out their responsibilities.
Schools Local Governing Bodies
All schools in Frassati, have a governing body, comprising of different types of governors. One each Local Board of Governors in Frassati, we have two elected Parent representatives and two elected Staff representatives. In addition to these categories, governing bodies in Catholic schools also include Foundation representatives, these Foundation Governors will always form a majority and we have approximately seven appointed for each school.
The Board of Directors delegate local responsibilities to the Academy Committee Representatives including day to day operational matters such as Catholic Life, health and safety, admissions, holding the Headteacher to account for the quality of education, staffing appointments, developing the unique identity, local community and traditions for the school.
Each school has it's own Local Board of Governors. You can find out more through the following links which are within their main website:

The value of primary care medicine is perhaps most apparent when an early diagnosis averts a serious illness. More subtly, it becomes evident over an extended period of time, when patient and physician are able to develop a deep and trusting relationship. When that occurs, the resulting collaboration leads to a true understanding of shared values and goals.
In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, we will have the necessary time to build our relationship and I will be available to you when you are in need. Simultaneously, we will be able to focus on state-of-the-art preventive medicine that is individualized for your long-term health. Similar to conveniences often associated with concierge medicine practices, I also offer same- or next-day appointments that start on time.
From my practice location in South Burlington, I can provide convenient primary care to patients from Chittenden County and all of Northwest Vermont. I also maintain affiliations with both the University of Vermont Medical Center and Central Vermont Medical Center. As a young physician, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to serve this wonderful community for years to come.

While the flurry of tweets and new Executive Orders are beginning to outline the preferences and direction of the Trump Administration in some areas, the remaining gaps make it risky to predict how the Administration will handle any number of files affecting BC's natural resource sectors.
Since there are few reliable signals about how the Trump Administration will address continental trade in resources/commodities, BC resource firms can prepare by developing two (or more) scenarios to guide actions and responses based on whatever may affect them: "Trump Lite" and "Trump Heavy" scenarios are presented and applied briefly to key BC resource sectors.
Caution: The Present is No Guide to the Future. Of the four trade disputes or irritants presently between Canada and the US, recent moves should not be relied on to predict how the Department of Commerce or Office of the US Trade Representative will act in coming months and years.
The new protectionism in the US will likely bring on NAFTA 2.0 and Buy American 2.0. Despite this, it doesn't have to be all bad for BC or Canada. However, BC's continuing reliance on the US as our principal goods export market leaves our resource sectors at some risk in the event that a "Trump Heavy" Administration pursues a strongly protectionist agenda over the next four years.

October 23, 2019 /in 2018, 2019, 2019, Education, Vail Jazz Workshop, Workshop Alumni News /by vailjazzteam
Almost a decade later, Vail Jazz Workshop alumni Patrick Bartley still carries a big part of his Vail experience onto every stage
Over the last 25 years, nearly 300 teenage musicians have been transformed by the Vail Jazz Workshop; a large majority have gone on to become professional musicians. This is one of their stories.
When Patrick Bartley came to Vail in 2010 as one of 12 teenagers carefully selected for the Vail Jazz Workshop, he had never owned his own saxophone.
The one he was renting from his high school was padded out with paper towels and partially held together by rubber bands. The thing wasn't even completely functional, as discovered by workshop instructor and sax pro Jeff Clayton. As the workshop got underway, Clayton allowed the then-17-year-old Bartley to try out his own horn while he tried a few notes on the teen's janky sax.
"We were all looking at Jeff's horn," Bartley recalled in a recent interview with Vail Jazz board member JoAnn Hickey.
"He had a King Super 20, the same type of horn that Cannonball Adderley played. I thought, wow. Jeff to me was the link to Cannonball. I felt he represented a lot of the same values I do today. He had a big sound, he was teaching everybody how to get a big sound," Bartley says.
Yet, it wasn't until the teen tried Clayton's horn that he realized how big the sound of the alto sax could truly be.
"I was the only alto player, so Jeff asked, 'you want to try my horn?' I took my mouthpiece off, put it on his horn and went, 'whoa, this is what a saxophone's supposed to feel like.' It was crazy. Meanwhile, he starts playing through my horn. To my amazement, he is struggling to play the instrument. He looked at me and said in that Jeff Clayton voice, 'How do you play this? This horn is unplayable.'"
As a young child growing up in Hollywood, Florida, Bartley was initially much more interested in visual art and video games than he was in playing an instrument. Around the age of 9 he discovered he was colorblind and found himself gravitating toward the school band. He began playing the clarinet, moved to baritone and then alto sax …and his course lit up before him.
"When that saxophone got into my hands, that was that moment when everything clicked. That was the moment I realized this is what I was going to do for the rest of my life," he says. "From that moment, I took all influences and used my saxophone to communicate the experiences. Music has never felt labored. It never felt like something I had to do."
Patrick Bartley (second from right) performs with the Vail Jazz All-Stars in 2010.
Getting back to Bartley's experience in Vail with his janky, rented saxophone … it turns out to have been more pivotal than anyone, Bartely included, would have ever imagined. Bartley had attended other prestigious national workshops, but none compared to Vail, which is notorious, as workshops go, for teaching students to play by ear and without the use of sheet music.
"That was not my first workshop experience but it was the most unique workshop experience," he says, recalling a specific lesson with Clayton and fellow students learning Cole Porter's "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye."
"He taught everyone to sing together as a group, lyric by lyric," Bartley says. "That was powerful and important for me. It taught me the importance of understanding the context of the song. We were all relying on each other and also relying on our ability to internalize the meaning of what the song meant while we played the notes. The concept stuck with me."
That was not the only thing that stuck with Bartley from his Vail experience. Not even close.
Again, it was Clayton imparting the gifts, in this case, a brand new, Yamaha 62 Alto saxophone, which Clayton bought with his own funds and those of fellow donors.
"It was a week of my mom and me crying after the saxophone arrived," Bartley says. "My mom was more in shock than me. She recognized by this point I was getting good at saxophone … but this was serious. She knew this would mark the path I would take, the solidifying moment of my life. It was like having a new body. Imagine every issue you might've had, any sickness, any bone fracture, any injury. You're the same person inside, but suddenly you have a completely new body. Every day since I've vowed to continue that generosity."
That saxophone has traveled with Bartley around the world. Now based in New York City, the young composer performs in a number of eclectic bands and ensembles. He has performed and recorded with musicians such as Louis Hayes, Jonathan Batiste and Wynton Marsalis from iconic stages from Madison Square Garden to the Black Sea Jazz Festival, performing on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, at the 52nd annual GRAMMY Awards with Dave Matthews Band and has himself been nominated for a GRAMMY.
"I'm 100-percent playing this Yamaha 62 Alto that Jeff got me," he says. "I've tried other saxophones with the intent of buying but I just can't part with this horn. It's special to me. It has taken me all over the world. People identify my sound. I am positive it's because of the saxophone."

The poll of 150 MPs, from research consultancy nfpSynergy, shows that 62% of Conservative MPs agree with the statement "The charity sector as a whole is too political". 30% agree with the statement "Charities should not campaign in Parliament". Conversely, only 4% of Labour MPs agree that the sector is too political, and a mere 1% feel that charities should not campaign in Parliament.
The research also shows that MPs think charities should be spending less of their income on admin and fundraising, and more on the cause. On average, MPs think that charities spend 55% of their money on the cause, significantly less than the 73% they feel would be acceptable.
Interestingly, both of these figures are higher than among the general public, who think charities spend just 38% of their money on the cause when it should be 64%. This suggests that MPs are less likely to underestimate charity spending on the cause, but have higher expectations than the wider public.
"Clearly, charities will have to overcome significant challenges if they are to campaign effectively in the new parliament. Influencing Conservative MPs who don't believe that charities should be lobbying in the first place is an unenviable task, and to make matters worse it's clear that most MPs don't think charities spend their money effectively enough.
As the Labour Party struggles to define itself in the aftermath of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership triumph, it's more important than ever that the charity sector states its own case in parliament. Clear, powerful and positive messages are needed to convince sceptical MPs that charities have an important role to play in national policy debates".
Please see the attached slides for more details.

Passionate about social media and technology, Michelle Arbore was looking for a new way to work from home when she launched Savvy Social Media in 2010. Six years later, she is busier than ever helping small-business owners create the social media presence they need in order to give the best impression to new and existing customers.
Prompted to work from home due to health reasons, as well as the desire to start a family, Arbore began searching for the right fit for her. "I was looking into virtual assistant jobs when I got on social media myself, and I fell in love with it," enthuses Arbore. "The more I talked to my clients about it, the more I knew that there was a need." Now the mother of an almost-5-year-old, Arbore loves owning her own business so she can be home with her son.
Arbore also speaks on different aspects of social media. She has spoken at networking events, women's organizations and conferences, and numerous chambers of commerce, as well as being interviewed for webinars, telesummits, seminars and podcasts. She has also created and hosted local workshops in the Rochester, New York, area where she lives, as well as online challenges designed to help businesses grow.

Obama Pushes for Mandatory "Volunteerism"
I can promise you that my daughter will never take part in Obama's "national service" organization.
The House passed a bill yesterday which includes disturbing language indicating young people will be forced to undertake mandatory national service programs as fears about President Barack Obama's promised "civilian national security force" intensify.
The Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act, known as the GIVE Act, was passed yesterday by a 321-105 margin and now goes to the Senate.
Under section 6104 of the bill, entitled "Duties," in subsection B6, the legislation states that a commission will be set up to investigate, "Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed, and how such a requirement could be implemented in a manner that would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds."
Section 120 of the bill also discusses the "Youth Engagement Zone Program" and states that "service learning" will be "a mandatory part of the curriculum in all of the secondary schools served by the local educational agency."
I would have thought that President Obama would be against slavery. Surprise! It's hope and change!

The best way we can take care of our teeth to remain strong and healthy!
Publisher: Geoffrey Nevine July 23, 2018 This information is provided solely as a guideline.
Clean healthy teeth are an asset to everyone's good appearance. Teeth play a vital role in the initial stages of digestion of food. They chew the food and break it down for easy swallowing. They aid in speech and add to the facial appearance and expression.
Also read: Why Dental Health Care is Must for Everyone.
Although teeth are very strong, they need to be taken care of. There are many bacteria that live inside the human mouth. Some of these bacteria cause tooth decay. They also combine with saliva and food residues and form a sticky substance called plaque.
A build-up of plaque on the surface of the teeth can cause gum disease. Plaque is easily removed by brushing. If it is not removed, it hardens and forms a substance called tartar. This can only be removed by a doctor.
Bacteria in the mouth feed on food residues, mainly sugar, and produce an acid. This acid attacks the enamel, then the dentine. If it infects the pulp cavity, it causes pain which is commonly known as a toothache. If the infection spreads deep into the tooth, it becomes rotten and has to be extracted.
Brush your teeth at least twice a day – in the morning after breakfast, and in the evening before going to bed. Use a suitable toothbrush and toothpaste to clean the teeth to freshen your breath. If you do not have a toothbrush, chew one end of a suitable twig to improvise one. Use the loose fibre as a toothbrush. Sharpen its other end and use it to clean between teeth. If you do not have toothpaste, use a mixture of bicarbonate of soda and salt in equal amounts to make a tooth powder. This works just like toothpaste. Spread some of this powder on a wet toothbrush. In the absence of bicarbonate of soda, plain salt works equally well.
Floss your teeth once in a while. To floss is to clean between individual teeth using dental floss. Dental floss is a thread that is used to remove food and plaque between the teeth.
Rinse the mouth well after brushing.
Pay regular visits to the dentist, at least twice in a year, for dental check-ups.
To exercise your jaw and strengthen your teeth, eat hard food occasionally. You can, for example, chew raw carrots or sugarcane.
Eat a diet that contains enough supply of calcium, phosphorus, and fluorine, and vitamins A, D, and C. All these are essential for healthy teeth.

Home News Glassboro Stormwater Management causes construction across campus
Stormwater Management causes construction across campus
Mackenzie Fitchett
Construction area at the "Mediation Walk" takes place between the Campbell Library and Savitz Hall, Wednesday September 12, 2018. -Multimedia Editor/Jaryd Leady
Rowan University is constantly growing in size, both geographically and student population, which makes it seem as if there is always some kind of construction to add to the campus. The most recent construction sites can be found behind the Campbell Library along Meditation Walk and in the Wilson Hall Performing Arts Courtyard.
The Facilities, Planning & Operations Department welcomed new faces this summer who hit the ground running with new projects. Dave McNamara, assistant vice president of design and construction, came in this past May along with Joseph Campbell, vice president of facilities, planning and operations, who came in in June. The ongoing projects that students are seeing on campus are part of a 10 phase plan that goes with the funding given to the department.
"Basically its to provide open space…we have some storm water issues and we have a storm water permit with the state," McNamara said. "There were certain compliance issues we had with that and this is correcting it."
The flooding on campus has been an issue for students and faculty in the past. Because of waterlogged sidewalks, students would have to find alternate ways to class and parking lots were occasionally closed off.
"The idea is to slow down water that comes to the stream because that's what causes a lot of the flooding," Campbell said. "So a lot of the work that we are doing with the plantings and other things are replacing the solid surfaces with more impervious kinds. It is all designed to slow down the water."
Meditation Walk is being transformed into a concrete stair structure with handrails facing brand-new plantings.

"Another large piece of this project are plantings that can only take place in the fall," Campbell said. "Anything requiring new plantings needs to take place in the fall."
The plantings are going to help soak up the accumulating rainwater in order to avoid flooding. The stairs will create a place for students to gather and hang out outside of the classroom and dorms. The other project still taking place is in the Wilson Hall Performing Arts Courtyard. This space is going to be opened up and redone in order for students to have a new space to hang out, interact and relax. There are plans for pavers to come in, a new amphitheater, new lighting and plantings. Campbell stressed the importance of this project when it came to commencement this summer. The planned on having a new beautiful space to utilize during this time.
"We are still working on the [Wilson Hall Performing Arts Courtyard] due to weather issues over the summer," McNamara said. "But the main goal was to get the closed sidewalks reopened for the beginning of the school year in order for students to plan their classroom commutes with ease."
These projects are not the only ones being accomplished by the new team. They also replaced the windows on the east side of the Westby Hall, fixed windows and leaks in James Hall and refurbished Robinson Circle. They have a lot of plans in the works for the upcoming year including a new academic building, a revamp of the student center and implementing a reforestation project.
The Meditation Walk and Wilson Hall Performing Arts Courtyard are both on schedule to finish by the end of the year.

UC Davis announces the end of 'Band-Uh,' introduces restructured marching band
Decision comes after reports of hazing, other misconduct
The Cal Aggie Band-uh! takes the field during a previous UC Davis homecoming game. (Daily Democrat file)
By Heather Kemp | hkemp@dailydemocrat.com | Woodland Daily Democrat
PUBLISHED: September 3, 2019 at 1:08 pm | UPDATED: September 3, 2019 at 4:00 pm
The beginning of a new academic year brings a revamped marching band program to UC Davis.
After members of the organization came forward with reports of hazing, underage drinking and sexual harassment, an investigation was launched by the university in May. Several of their stories were documented in a Sacramento Bee article.
On Tuesday, Interim Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Emily Galindo explained what's happened in the last few months:
"Earlier this spring, the university received allegations of misconduct by members of the Cal Aggie Marching Band and the Cal Aggie Alumni Band. In response, all band operations for both organizations were provisionally suspended, and the university hired an external law firm to conduct a comprehensive independent review to evaluate the climate of the band."
The review included a climate survey distributed to current and former band participants and individual interviews.
According to Galindo, 85% of those who responded to the survey indicated that they were "satisfied" or "very satisfied" with their overall experience.
"With that said, however, the survey and interviews revealed areas of concern regarding traditions, activities and behavior, with survey and interview respondents citing examples of misconduct," Galindo continued. "Regarding band administrators, there was no evidence that they failed to appropriately respond to the reports of misconduct."
Officials from the Student Affairs division met throughout summer "to assess and reconstruct all function areas of the band including bylaws, organizational structure, policies, reporting procedures, traditions and training."
Based on these findings, Galindo announced the following changes are being made in an attempt to "rebuild the band program into a safe and welcoming organization for our students and to move forward in a positive and student-focused direction that the entire UC Davis community can be proud of."
• Restructuring: The Cal Aggie Marching Band has been discontinued in favor of forming a new organization with a new name, bylaws, governing structure, guidelines and practices. In short, "Band-Uh" will no longer exist and the organization will shift from being student-run to university supervised. A student leadership team will be established with members selected by Campus Recreation and open positions for assistant director and coordinator "have been redesigned with revised duties and expectations."
• Alumni: UCD is discontinuing its relationship with the alumni band "effective immediately." It will no longer be recognized by the campus and is prohibited from participating in campus events, according to Galindo. "While we recognize that the concerns regarding the alumni band are not reflective of the entire membership, we feel this step is necessary to provide the greatest opportunity for the student band to rebuild as a new and independent program," she said. "Further, under our new restructuring, social interactions with alumni band members will be strongly discouraged."
• Action Plan: Band staff and campus recreation leadership will implement "necessary changes" to restructure the program using the "Overall Action Plan for Reinstatement of the Marching Band." This includes collaboration with students to create a new name and uniform design for the band and a new mission statement, vision and value statements. In addition, extensive training that includes procedures for reporting any concerns within the organization will be required among other adjustments.
A two-year probation period where "the band must follow the new structure, guidelines and practices, and will be permitted to participate only in events and activities approved by Campus Recreation" will be in effect as well.

Galindo ended her statement with the following message:
"The Division of Students Affairs is committed to offering programs, services and experiences that promote student success, well-being and engagement while building an inclusive campus community. Among those goals, the safety of our students is the highest priority. With the seriousness of the allegations, our goal throughout this process was to act swiftly, thoughtfully and appropriately in both our assessment and decision making."

After the death of 17-year-old Regane MacColl after taking an ecstasy pill at the Arches nightclub in Glasgow, the club took the bold move to ban all under 21s from all nightclub events. Furthermore to this the nightclub is also subject to a review at Glasgow City Council over it's license's future. Although it is unlikely to lose its license for more than a few weeks, if at all, the point remains that there is a massive culture in this country of 'pill-heads', and believe it or not, it's not new.
It's pretty much opened a huge metaphorical can of worms (again) though – and that hurt me more than you can imagine to use that pun, but there's hardly a better way to describe the sweaty writhing bodies inhibiting the clubs in Scotland's towns and cities.
So, to get a better idea of what the situation is in this country in terms of the ecstasy issue I posted on Facebook appealing for people involved in that scene, from either side of the argument, to get in touch. An influx of information hit me; not only with people voicing their opinions on the fact that the Arches has increased its entry age to 21, but people came forward with stories from within the drug culture through years.
For this reason, maybe the logical solution is to introduce a regulatory system in this country, whereby, even if the drugs are illegal, testing kits should be readily available because no matter what line the government and police forces do there is still going to be consumption of these substances. The introduction of a system such as this would take a lot of heat off of the bouncers at clubs as there would be less situations where someone takes something sinister. Systems such as these are already in use in some of the big party islands such as Ibiza, so why not here?
When asked about the fact their children may be of age to go to these clubs they also gave startlingly similar answer both leaning towards wanting to avoid being a hypocrite by saying to their children they should avoid these substances, however also stressing the fact that the consumption of these drugs offered them admission into a whole new interesting culture that they admit has crafted them into the people they are today – be it through people they met or [places they got to experience being part of this scene.
In speaking to a former Arches door-man, Lewis (pseudonym), I discovered a huge critic of the drug culture in this country. Being on the scene when the last (before Regane MacColl) death happened in the Arches, he has first -and experience of the sour effects of club drugs.
"I was one of the first on the scene and was treating him for over an hour before the ambulance came.
"In total, I think about 6 of us were giving him CPR and putting ice in his head to cool him down.
Although Lewis' view is extreme, it gives an insight into how tragic the effect of these drugs can be. In my opinion, if the government was really serious about minimizing risk they should introduce their own regulatory system, where certain substances are legal and safer. Although that is wishful thinking.
Wanna get high? … Or die?
Recently I read an article in The Guardian by Alan Travis titled 'Hundreds of 'legal highs' face ban- but not laughing gas'. Travis gives an insight into the harm that legal highs are doing to younger generations with symptoms such as "unconsciousness, numbness in legs causing collapse, paranoia, aggression and self harm" all being related to 'legal highs'.
While I agree that teenagers should perhaps be discouraged from inducing substances such as 'herbal incense', the term 'nanny state' springs to mind when there is talk of them being banned altogether.
Surely if a young person is old enough to go to a music festival, out clubbing or on holiday abroad (situations where these 'drugs'can often be associated with) they are old enough to make their own decision as to whether they want to experience these substances or not.
I feel that part of growing up is deciding for yourself the difference between right and wrong. If a youngster decides that they want to try a material which alters their behaviour and thoughts for a period of time, they are likely to get their hands on it- whether it is legal in the UK or not.
Alcohol has been related with the same effects on young people as 'legal highs' have. However, in comparison to the consumption of these substances, there is a far higher percentage of instances where adolescents have been badly affected or worse, ended up in hospital due to misuse of alcohol, which is entirely legal.
Next week, the government's chief drugs adviser, Les Iversen, and his colleagues will advise on which legal highs they think should be banned in the UK. Maybe they should consider allowing teenagers to have the freedom to make their own decisions.

Seasonal Anime Vs. Binge-watching
Nick	Anime	 February 17, 2021 March 5, 2021 3 Minutes
Not long after I was first introduced to anime, I started getting into the habit of watching shows weekly, as they aired.
Unfortunately very accurate representation of me.
Keep in mind, I was a teenager with heaps of free time and very few friends back then. Every day there would be three or four shows waiting for me after school. And on top of that, I would watch entire shows that were already finished in the span of a couple days. Those were the good old days. At least, that's how I like to look back on it initially, but I'm not sure that holds up. Regardless, I was a big fan of the weekly show for a long time.
As the years went on, and I slowly started to become more of an adult. (I know, it's taking a long time, but hopefully I'll get there eventually.) I started to have less and less free time. Not only that, I started to have a lot less energy as well. I'm interning as a teacher while I'm writing this, and although it's extremely rewarding and a very fun job, it's also exhausting. I make it no secret that my autism interferes with my energy levels quite a lot, and that this causes me to be tired halfway through a busy day. As a teenager and even in my early twenties this wasn't a big problem because I avoided challenges and things that cost energy. Now that I've grown a lot as a person, I'm more willing to try my hardest, which results in being tired a lot.
But Nick, you'll say, what does this have to do with watching anime.
I think it brings me directly to the point of this text. And to the explanation of why I nowadays prefer to binge-watch a show as opposed to watch seasonal shows. When writing this we are currently in Winter 2021. For those of you living in the future, reading this way later; this season is stacked. It has sequels of every show that was mildly popular in the past decade, as well as several great new titles such as Horimiya, Mushoku Tensei and more. And I just struggle to find the time. There are 21 shows on my currently watching list, and the amount of effort it takes me to get through them is way too much. I would much rather vanish into my bed and watch Taskmaster or something else on youtube where I don't need to pay that much attention to the narrative. Each weekly show feels like I need to remember a bunch of stuff, and then be awake enough to understand what is happening in this new episode. It's exhausting.
And I know this is a first world problem. It's not even a problem, really. It's more of an observation that I've made as time has gone on. People change, that's no secret, and so do our habits. We change on the daily, and sometimes we like things one day, and dislike them the next. I know I will start watching less weekly shows when this season ends. Maybe limit it to about 14 or 15. Two episodes, maybe an hour a week, should be reasonable, should it not?
That way I'll at least have the time and energy to binge an old anime from time to time.
But enough about me, what do you think about this? Do you prefer to watch anime weekly, and join in on the
One of the coolest shows I've ever seen. Go Chinese Electric Batman!
discussion as it is airing. Or are you someone who enjoys clicking the next episode indefinitely until itś 4 in the morning and you've lost it, you know you can kill. The truth is just behind the gate!
And yes, I did binge Darker Than Black until it was 4 AM, and it is one of my favorite anime-related memories, even almost a decade later.

I find I can't keep up with seasonal anime watching very much. I have one, maybe two shows I follow every season. I could keep up with more in theory, but I much prefer waiting for the series to end and going all in on it afterward, the only exception being if it was something I was really looking forward to and could not help but watch as it aired.
I can relate to your feelings about professional life and how anime-watching can edge in on it. I'm tired at the end of every workday, and it's enough effort just to watch a screen for a hour or two. Thankfully, it's easy to wait for these shows to end and watch them while avoiding spoilers, since people don't talk about anime around the water cooler. Not where I work, anyway, so spoilers are no concern in that sense.
Yeah, it's generally a lot less like sports where you hear the result on the radio at work, and more avoidable. Especially if you avoid Twitter. And bingewatching is great if you just want to keep watching, instead of spend 3 months to watch a show air weekly.
