Thursday, January 10th, 2013 | interviewZ, musiX, vinylZ | 1 Comment
I begin 2013 by going back to the year 2012. It was a simpler time, filled with hope and promise … OK, it was a great year for rock music, filled with some terrific records from The Men, King Tuff, Ty Segall, Ty Segall … Ty Segall, and a lesser-known band out of Saint Louie (Go Cards!) called Tilts, whose self-titled debut made numero uno on TDoL's Best of 2012 list.
I bring them up again in these early days of 2013 because a) their album is pure rock and roll fun, and b) it was criminally overlooked last year. I discovered Tilts over at cranky pants Everett True's Collapse Board blog, and immediately bought it on vinyl (which you, too, can order here). The record rocks in the spirit of Van Halen, Sabbath and Zep—big, dumb and fun, harkening back to the glory days when riffs were painstakingly forged in fire and could slice through your gray matter like a hot knife through gray matter (the song "Hot For Pizza" has more in common with Van Halen than just its title). The record was pulled together from a string of 7-inches, and finally released with the help of a Kickstarted campaign on Robotic Empire.
The man behind Tilts is guitarist-vocalist Andrew Elstner, who in 2012 also began slinging ax for Torche and contributed to the Miami metal quartet's good-timin' Harmonicraft album. Needless to say it was an eventful year for Elstner, even more so if you count that little situation when a bat pissed directly into his eye. But that's sooo 2012. This year looks to be even bigger, even better. Torche will tour and start writing material for the follow-up to Harmonicraft, and Elstner says there's a new Tilts album already in the works.
After a busy and blurry holiday season, The Days of Lore finally caught up with Elstner to discuss rock and roll, defunct metal magazines and why David Lee Roth is hot for pizza.
TDoL: 2012 turned out to be a pretty good year for you: You joined Torche, Tilts released their first full-length and got No. 1 on The Days of Lore Best of list … I mean, come on!
Andrew Elstner: Dude, you said it. 2012 has been a blast! Really and truly, I have no complaints. This year's been a dream. I mean, it's not like I'm doing anything I haven't done before, it's just that I'm doing it better and more often.
How long has Tilts been kicking around?
Unofficially, I'd like to say since I was about 18 when I first met Ken [McCray] and Shawn [Hart]; we hadn't written any Tilts music of course, but the friendships started there. I met Andy White around 2001 if I remember correctly. We officially started jamming, I think, around spring or summer of 2009 and began recording EPs a while after.
I hear loads of great rock influences—ZZ Top, Sabbath, Van Halen. Was your upbringing with classic rock radio?
Absolutely. I began at the same place most kids did at that time. The first song I learned was "Sweet Emotion" by Aerosmith, then "Black Dog" by Zeppelin followed by a blizzard of Ozzy and Sabbath. Van Halen was everywhere as well.
Tell me more about the song "Hot For Pizza" …
Oh dude, it's such a long story, but all true. Ultra quick breakdown: A good friend of mine befriended David Lee Roth within the last decade or so. During their initial encounter, the two of them were partying and Dave wanted a slice. On the walk to the neighborhood pizza joint Diamond Dave allegedly sang the line, "I've got it bad, got it bad, got it baaad, I'm hot for pizzaaa!" Now, if this story came from anyone else I wouldn't believe it, but the shit is real. The song is very obviously a deep nod to Van Halen style wise, so the title couldn't have been anything else really. It's a good time.
What I love about the Tilts album is that it's a fun party record, but I also get the feeling you take rock and roll dead serious.
Tilts set out to be that kind of a band on purpose. I mean, the band is Tits with an "L." For real. You can't take yourself too seriously. On the other hand, yeah, we wanna write solid tunes. We honestly don't think about it too hard. Spinal Tap's Viv Savage said it best, "Have a good time, all the time."
I've read that you were an avid Circus magazine reader. I used to love that mag. Were you a metalhead growing up?
Yeah man—Circus, Rip, Hit Parader, all the usual pharmacy titles. Pretty hilarious to look at them now. It's like poodles with guitars. Metalhead for sure, though, maybe not as intense as some. Some stuff was definitely lost on me at the time. I was all Anthrax, Metallica, Ozzy, Megadeth and whatever was playing on Headbanger's Ball at the time. Between that and our local rock station's "Monday Night Metal," there were no other avenues to discover different bands. It wasn't until high school that I finally branched out when a buddy would drive me home and we'd listen to Fugazi, Shellac, Drive Like Jehu. Blew my mind.
You are a riff machine, too. Who are your guitar heroes?
Aww man, I hold my own I suppose. Heroes aplenty. The usual—Eddie Van Halen, Tony Iommi, Jimmy Page, Angus/Malcolm Young, Andy Summers; and some slightly unusual—Billy Dolan, Martin Carthy, Bert Jansch. But really as a guitar player you end up picking up so much you aren't consciously aware of. Somewhere in there is probably the Manhattan Transfer album my parents used to play when I was a kid.
OK, it's 1974. KISS, Zeppelin and Sabbath are playing separate shows on the same night: KISS in a small club, Sabbath in a theater, and Zep in an arena. Who do you go see?
Oh, Zeppelin. Easy. Well, don't get me wrong, I had to think about it and though I love KISS, I'm a bit of a tourist there. Black Sabbath, yeah, that's tough to pass up, and such a killer year for those bands. I'd buy tickets to Sabbath and Zeppelin, go to Sabbath first, then see the latter half of Zeppelin's set.
Has the fact that you're now in Torche brought more attention to Tilts?
Without a doubt. We've been awfully lucky there as the Torche connection has greatly extended our reach.
The bat piss incident probably didn't hurt …
Man, yeah, the story's been told a jillion times now, but for sure the press helped. So crazy.
You moved to Atlanta from St. Louis. Was that to be closer to the Torche guys without actually having to live in Florida?
Yeah, I moved here just about two years ago to join Torche. Steve [Brooks] lives here as well as does our sound engineer Rob. Jon [Nuñez] and Rick [Smith] are still down in Miami and Gainesville respectively. And, yes, no Florida for me please and thank you. Atlanta is really an amazing city—vastly underrated and comfortably under the radar for the moment.
Are you a Redbirds fan?
It's hard to live in or be from St. Louis and not be a Cardinals fan, though there again, I could barely tell you a single player's name from last season, to my father's sincere disappointment.
I assume Torche is going to keep you plenty busy this year. What's in store for 2013, and how does Tilts factor into the plans?
Torche has gobs more touring to do this year, as well as write a new album—so yes, we'll be busy for sure. Us Tilts dudes are currently chipping away at a new full-length. Still in the demo stages, but the songs, instrumentally at least, are pretty much written. Likely a few tweaks here and there, but we're pleased so far. We'll be recording this one ourselves again, fitting in recording time where we can among our thoroughly wily schedules. Fingers crossed we can finally do a small bit of touring. Zeus knows we've had plenty of requests.

Comments about Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork Poles (pair):
I can't find any faults with these poles except for (perhaps) the price, although the discounted price at Sunny Sports was great. I expect to have them for a long time, so I think it was worth the extra money for really good poles.

Great product
By Raz
from Marietta, GA
I was stubborn about using trekking poles backpacking, but it took a couple slips to convince me. I wanted lightweight and cork. My hiking companions were all impressed by their adjustability and light weight. I got more than I had expected with my purchase.

May 17th, 2006: Mobifest was a lot of fun! Sean Cullen and Mark McKinney (Canadian celebrities woo!) were hosting and they were both funny, especially when the projector wasn't working. Dinosaur Comics didn't win, BUT, it was one of the audience favourites, and people did laugh during the screening, which was gratifying. I was worrying that without the context of the comic people would just - you know, burst into tears. Here's a pretty funny picture of me being
interviewed for the CBC. It looks like they're interviewing me on how come I'm so tall.
Hey, what are you doing May 27th - the Saturday night? You should come to a party me and Bryan Lee O'Malley are having! It is a book release party for our two new books: his
Scott Pilgrim book and my Dinosaur Comics book and it promises to be AWESOME. You can read more at The Beguiling's web site, or on this handy invitation card! THE WHOLE WORLD IS INVITED. I'll be making Dinosaur Comics live. It is likely to be hilariously disasterous!
Also, if you haven't read Scott Pilgrim, you should! It's one of my favourite comics. And just today, Newsarama put the Free Comic Book Day Scott Pilgrim story online, which is great. Go read it and you will probably love it!
FINALLY, in other "internet people in the real world how cool is that" news, if he's in town, you should totally head out to one of MC Frontalot's shows! His beats are decidedly the freshest. He's in West Columbia, SC tonight! I have really been enjoying his Mountain Kind lately. Over and over and over again. To make sure the best gifts ever in time get to you when you want them, here are the HOLIDAY SHIPPING DEADLINES. Orders placed before these dates will get to you in time for Christmas! One year ago today: t-rex, what are you doing – Ryan
December 5th: All shipping methods except U.S.P.S. First-Class Package International Service� are safe.
December 6th: International orders made not selecting U.S.P.S. Priority Mail Express International� shipping will likely arrive in January.
December 11th: USPS FIRST CLASS and STANDARD may not make it in time and neither will USPS EXPRESS MAIL INTERNATIONAL.

What supplies do you recommend to get off to a good start? (Bananas - how many, etc.)
Please share suggestions.... kind of like getting ready for back-to-school and they gave you the lists of things needed to prepare. :-)
Also, not on facebook! (Will you be posting the same tips/suggestions/videos here?)
Thanks so much, Freelee -- looking forward to your inspiration/encouragement.
Sort of defeats the object of a community! :o(
You can start your own challenge on here Luna, I think a few others are doing that too
Erm ... I feel excluded as I don't have a F***B**K account and I don't want one.

Good adaptation..........good soundtrack
By Andrew from London , 17 May 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
Having read the book a while ago, I was interested to see what the hollywood adaptation would be like. Well in my opinion it works. Cusak and the other screenwriters/producers have clearly given a lot of thought to their adaptation, and with such fine base material, they cold hardly fail. Jack Black is very entertaining. Overall thoroughly recommended.

(96)Get the book instead
By ZKPW (45 reviews) , 07 Apr 2012I'm not a purist - although this is relocated to the States it works. Cusack isn't detestable... he's just not likable either. I know, you're not supposed to necessarily like the main character, but you are supposed to care. This film made me not care, which is a shame as the book didn't have that effect. If I had to use a word to describe this film, it'd be 'meh'. Oh, Jack Black steals the show with his morning mixtape scene and does a great version of 'Let's Get It On' but you can see those on Youtube and rent a different film, which is less of a waste of your life...- Was this review helpful to you?

A film about monkey pain
By Platospupil (206 reviews) , 18 Mar 2012Years ago, a Head Teacher friend of mine told me about male monkeys. Apparently, long after the young females of the kind have started collecting fruit and making nests, the young males are still up in the tree tops, throwing sticks at each other and shrieking.
This film is about the male monkeys. It is a truth universally held that males grow up in a slow and monkey way. This = an uncomfortable way to grow up .. but maybe we do it to make up for a lack of periods or other forms of female pain.
This movie catches the male pain, the growth and the universal truth. Bravo.- Was this review helpful to you?

True to the spirit of the book
By OldOneShoe (3 reviews) , 06 Mar 2012When I first saw this film (as a fan of the book), I remember being disappointed that it was set in the US. To be honest, I think this disappointment coloured my opinion a bit too much because, watching it again after several years, it's really a very good film. The performances are great (interesting to see Jack Black playing a slightly earlier rendition of the part that he plays in School of Rock), the script is funny, and the whole film remains very true to the original book in spirit.
If you appreciate music, and a love of music, watch this film. It's probably number 3 on the top 5 list of films that are worth watching if you appreciate music :-)- Was this review helpful to you?

{Before and After a $25 Foyer Makeover: all items are the same in the two photos, just updated with paint and fabric} |
It's a fresh look for our home with lots of positive energy. It has personality and I think that's difficult to achieve in a pass-through area. Don't you think the "after" feels much friendlier? I know whenever I open the front door I'll greet my visitor with a big smile on my face because this space just makes me grin.
Already. owned. everything. Just in need of updating and restyling. Still need to do a bit of accessory styling, but let's call that Phase II. How about a look at the details ...
{Detail elements from the $25 Foyer Makeover, left to right: horizontal wall stripes, silver leaf detail on round mirror painted Cayenne Pepper, fabric panels under glass surface on credenza top} |
{A 1980's credenza restyled with paint and fabric insert panels} |
Stripes are Spring Mint in EcoSpec / Eggshell, by Benjamin Moore.
{The foyer is open to our Great Room ... Seashore Dreams is used in the adjacent front sitting area and Spring Mint is used in the TV / Activity zone.}
Architectural moulding is One Coat Super White in Semigloss, by Pratt and Lambert.
Color is Dill Pickle 2147-40, EcoSpec Eggshell, by Benjamin Moore {left over paint}.
Top coated with Safecoat Acrylacq, Satin Finish (water-based, low odor lacquer replacement). The combination of a flat paint (eggshell) and the soft sheen from the lacquer replacement produces a smooth factory-like finish.
Color is Cayenne Pepper (8-14) in Satin Accolade Paint, by Pratt and Lambert.
Silver Leaf, Rub-N-Buff applied around mirror edge
Credenza Panel Fabric
Robert Allen Fabric, Crystal Lake pattern, Midnight color, 55% Linen / 45% Rayon
Tips from What I Learned
Hubby didn't want me to do anything "non-reversable" to the glass on the credenza, so etching or adhering something directly on the glass wasn't an option. I decided to wrap the glass with heavy-duty contact paper - which is totally removable, and to glue fabric to that. This worked perfectly for the door panels.
When it came to the glass inset panes on top of the credenza the same contact wrap + fabric worked fine for pane #1. Not so for pane #2. Seems that the cabinet wasn't manufactured with the highest level of precision, and although both openings fit the cut glass, once the extra thickness of the paper + fabric was added, pane #2 was too big. Drats.
Didn't want to use the power sander to remove that much wood because I was concerned I wouldn't keep a straight-edge. Same with using a router to resize the opening ... and I had concerns that I might make the opening too big.
Plan B was to use scrap wood and build a simple box frame (like stretcher strips for canvas) that would fit inside the two openings on top of the credenza.
With fabric wrapped and stapled to the frame it was inserted from inside the cabinet, is flush with the surrounding, and the glass panels lay across the opening as the cabinet was originally designed. Score!
Looks great and is actually a far better approach for the top panels since they are totally protected from anything sitting on the surface. I had planned to use a fabric sealer to protect the fabric but that's no longer necessary. Yay for failed ideas!
Let's talk about the mirror for a moment. I used a brush to paint the mirror. I avoided needing to cut in around the mirror edge because the frame had a silver leaf edge adjacent to the mirror. When I primed the mirror I primed slightly over the leading edge of the leafing but not all the way to the mirror. After the color {3 coats} was applied, I used Rub-N-Buff to restore {and enlarge slightly} the silver leaf band. I needed to keep a rather clean but not perfect edge to my silver leaf and I had to come up with a way to apply the paste other than my pudgy, non-precise, finger.
Yep, I found my precision tool of choice in my makeup bag ... dual ended cotton tip {disposable} applicators for eye makeup. The end with a chiseled point was perfect for drawing lines. The flat round end was perfect for applying large amounts of leafing then buffing to a shine. Actually, this process mirrored applying eye makeup! {sorry, I couldn't stop that pun from jumping on the screen}. And when I went a little heavy on the leafing, or outside my edge line, I found "nourishing" nail polish remover {the lite version not the full power remover} removed the leafing! and didn't damage my paint!! Of course, that was a lucky off-the-top-of-my-head discovery as I was running around yelling words I won't write here because of my major mess up with the leafing. Whew!
How about one more look at the finished foyer, 'kay?
I didn't plan this foyer project to coincide with this "anniversary" ... had it not been for the recent monster storms in the mid-Atlantic area and resulting power outages this project would have been finished about two weeks ago. But two years later I finally have a good start on that foyer redo.
If you haven't already read our Fire Safety PSA, I hope you'll check it out before you leave ... click here or you can always find the PSA button to the left on the sidebar. Thanks for that. And thanks in advance if you choose to Pin or otherwise help spread our Fire Safety PSA message.
So, what do you think about my foyer? $25 well spent? Or both my money & time wasted? I'd love to hear any suggestions you have for accessories or more. I'm considering extending the stripes around the proper foyer area, but that can be an "upgrade" and might have to wait until the fall.
What about you ... any plans to paint furniture or do a makeover on the cheap at your house ... would love to hear all about it!
I have more furniture reveals coming soon ... oil-based paint dries very slowly in this humid weather ... this time from my dining room. Hope you'll check back, or, if not already a Follower click that little button in the sidebar so you'll automatically know when my paint is dry!
Keep cool folks,

Ron Paul supporters aren't going to like you!
Nah, lets drop all the restrictions and then try and get the addicts back to normal. More money in that. You don't know what the results would have been if drugs were not regulated for the past 40 years. Go look at the inner cities if you want a hint.
That's because their politicians are as crooked as the Obama administration. You are always trying to blame someone other than the addicts who buy the drugs and make illegal drugs a profitable business.
That's because the druggies in the United States make it profitable for them. That's who's mopney they are killing for.
So Beerme, how about the lives ruined by drug usage? The wars in Mexico and the big cities are mainly drug Lords killing each other. I have no problem with them doing that. As a matter of fact, I encourage it.

Ralph Green didn't give up after he lost a leg following a random street shooting. He learned how to ski and he's learning how to win. Coaches say he's fearless and a hard worker. He's making up for a lot of lost time. Green is the first African-American man to make the U.S. Paralympics Alpine Skiing National Team. Green had somewhat of a lackluster performance at both the 2006 Paralympic Winter Games in Torino as well as the Paralympic Winter Games in Vancouver.
Though Green calls his 2007-2008 season a hiatus, as well as a time to recover from injury, he still couldn't manage to keep himself from the slopes. After some intense triathlon training on his bike in the off-season, Green competed in some World Cup competitions during the season and felt like he was excelling in his sport even more than he had before.
A high school quarterback and multi-sport athlete, Green was gunned down at 16 while he and a friend walked along a street in Brooklyn. His left leg was amputated at the hip. He was introduced a year later to skiing in the Poconos and it didn't do much for him. After high school, he moved to Winter Park for three months, but eventually returned home...only to go back to Winter Park and its excellent ski program - "and that's when it stuck. I said, 'I'm skiing until I'm the best.' And that was [in 2000]." He explained, "I'm not scared to go fast, not scared to crash, but I learned you have to finish and that's what I'm doing now. Fear is not a factor."

Chu, Denney & Coughlin, Green, Tomasevicz encourage fans to move, learn, discover

Poll gives Obama edge in Pennsylvania
Woman, independents boost president's numbers
The latest poll in Pennsylvania gives President Barack Obama a six point lead over his Republican challenger Mitt Romney, though voters in the Keystone State say Romney would do a better job fixing the nation's troubled economy.
The poll from Quinnipiac University indicated Obama leading Romney 46%-40%. The president's lead was bolstered by strong advantages over Romney among women and independents - 51% of women back Obama, compared to 36% who support Romney. Forty-three percent of independents say they would vote for Obama, compared to 35% who would go for Romney.
Voters were more confident in how a President Romney would handle the economy. Forty-nine percent say the former Massachusetts governor and two-time presidential candidate would better handle the economy, compared to 41% who named Obama. Forty-five percent said Romney would create more jobs as president, while 43% said Obama would be stronger on job creation.
Obama still rates far higher than his Republican rival on likeability - 77% percent of Pennsylvania voters say Obama is a likeable person, compared to 58% who say the same of Romney.
"President Barack Obama is holding his ground against Gov. Mitt Romney in Pennsylvania," Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, wrote in a statement accompanying the poll's release. "While almost four-fifths of voters, including 58 percent of Republicans, say the President is a likable person, where the rubber meets the road on the campaign trail - the economy - Romney has the lead."
Malloy continued, "Pennsylvanians may like the president more than they like Mitt Romney, but the warm and fuzzy feeling gives way to the cold hard truth of a still shaky economy."
Obama's lead in Pennsylvania has remained relatively consistent since the last Quinnipiac survey of the state - in a poll taken at the beginning of May, Obama led Romney by eight points, 47%-39%.
In Pennsylvania's race for U.S. Senate, incumbent Democratic Sen. Bob Casey leads his GOP rival Tom Smith 51%-29%. Smith, a coal mine owner, has run ads in Pennsylvania linked Casey to Obama, making the case the Democrats' policies have lead to hard economic times.
Pennsylvania carried 20 electoral votes in November's general election, and is rated "Leaning Obama" on CNN's Electoral Map. Obama carried the state by 11 points over Sen. John McCain in the 2008 presidential election. But Republicans won big in the state in the 2010 midterm contests, grabbing the governor's office and five congressional seats.
The Quinnipiac University poll was taken by telephone between June 5-10 from 997 registered voters. The sampling error was plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.

- Ingredients A-Z

Ingredients by
Meringue Nests for Petit Mont Blancs
To make the Petits Monts Blancs for New Year's Eve.
Makes 8
Ingredients |
For the meringues: |
2 large egg whites |
4 oz (110 g) white caster sugar |
For the filling: |
9 oz (250 g) mascarpone |
7 fl oz (200 ml) 8 per cent fat fromage frais |
1 rounded dessertspoon caster sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
For the topping: |
a little icing sugar |
Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 2, 300°F (150°C). |
Conversions |
Need help with conversions? |
Equipment |
You will also need a 16 x 12 inch (40 x 30 cm) baking sheet lined with silicone paper (baking parchment). |
To make the meringues, place the egg whites in a large bowl and, using an electric hand whisk on a low speed, begin whisking.
Continue for about 2 minutes, until the whites are foamy, then switch the speed to medium and carry on whisking for 1 more minute.
Now turn the speed to high and continue whisking until the egg whites reach the stiff-peak stage. Next, whisk the sugar in on fast speed, a little at a time (about a dessertspoon), until you have a stiff and glossy mixture.
Now all you do is spoon 8 heaped dessertspoons of the mixture on to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
Then, using the back of the spoon or a small palette knife, hollow out the centres. Don't worry if they are not all the same shape – random and rocky is how I would describe them.
Next, pop them on the centre shelf of the oven, immediately reduce the heat to gas mark 1, 275°F (140°C) and leave them for 30 minutes.
After that, turn the oven off and leave the meringues to dry out in the warmth of the oven until it is completely cold (usually about 4 hours).
When cold, transfer the meringues to a plastic freezer box to freeze, ready for New Year's Eve.

Once again, the next US presidential election will be fixed. Mitt Romney will be elected even though Barack Obama would have received more votes in the 2012 election. The political assassination will be perpetrated by Bush hiding behind Crossroads GPS, the most influential group of Neocons.
The Neocons will have Mitt Romney elected to first use him and then let him fall easy prey. All blames and responsibilities will fall on the new Mormon president for the events already planned.
The new World War of Religion is already a done deal behind the backs of all people which will be forced to fight for their own Countries in their obligation as citizens
The platform of an alternative to the Zionist Plan must be the solution of one Human dilemma which is at the root: the conflict between Equality and Individualism
The Dictator of a New World Order will soon become one reality unless there will be a new movement coordinated in each Country and operated with strategic timing.
The next US president, Mitt Romney, will be the spokesman for George Bush and once elected he will start his new job on January 21 2013. The next Israeli election will be on January 22 2013. These two dates are overlapped in preparation for War. After the US elections and before those in Israel it will be the best time for the birth of one single Front to counter the Zionist Plan

Cheers to all who gave us aid at our accident recently in front of Wells Fargo Bank on Raeford Road, and all of those who looked for our little dog, who was found that night at 6. Thanks to a soldier who gave comfort while we waited for police, the fire department and EMS, who responded quickly. And thanks to whoever called them in the first place.

Cheers to Paige Williams at StatCare Urgent Care Center. Thank you so much for your care and consideration when I was not feeling well. You treated me like family, and that's hard to find. StatCare has a wonderful staff and great physician, Dr. Raju Raval. Keep up the wonderful work.

Cheers to Cross Creek Mall on the new renovations. The mall looks so much better now. There is new seating that looks inviting and attractive. The columns are now lit and quite attractive.
Although I hated to see the carousel leave, the new food court is much better than the old one. The restrooms are much improved. I also like that there are fewer kiosks now and more room in the aisles.
It seemed to take forever to complete, but it was worth it in the end. Fayetteville deserves a nice mall.

Cheers to Econo Auto Tire Service on Reilly Road. On two separate occasions, we have brought a vehicle in, thinking it needed repair work. Both times, the manager took the car for a quick test drive and came back to tell us there wasn't anything wrong with the vehicle at that time.
He gave us directions for when to be concerned with the issue, but said repairing it now would just be taking money from us. He easily could have charged us for needless work, but instead has been honest with us. Thank you.

Jeers to a gas station clerk. Recently, I stood in line, and when it was my turn, I was told I had to wait because I was playing the lottery and that the customers behind me would go first.
I did as I was asked, and then the clerk made the comment, "I wish people would read the sign."
If the store doesn't want to be bothered with the lottery, they should not participate if they feel lottery customers are second-best customers. I will not be doing my lottery at this store anymore.

OWENSBORO, Ky. (03/22/2013) – Following an hour-long community greet and a roughly half-hour student presentation, members of the Daviess County Board of Education hurried through a light agenda before going into closed session at their meeting Thursday evening, March 21.
The board heard an update on testing and approved several policy changes as well as various bids. One of the bids affected federal reimbursement for the district's e-rate.
Board members were told the new e-rate could save the district as much as $50,000

the Eagles have given us fits the last few years. as long as our guys show up like they did against Carolina, we have a great chance of leaving with a W. they can't underestimate the Iggles.

Among the many arguments raging—and more than a little mud-slinging—around the Common Core State Standards, perhaps the most arcane involves the blurry border between academic standards and classroom curricula.
Begin with the fact that neither term has a clear definition. Most people hazily understand that standards involve the destination that students ought to reach—i.e., the skills and knowledge (and sometimes habits, attitudes, and practices) that they should have acquired by some point in their educational journey. Often it's the end of a grade ("by the end of fifth grade, students will know how to multiply and divide whole numbers"), sometimes the completion of a grade band ("by the end of middle school…" or "during ninth and tenth grade").
Curriculum, on the other hand, is what Ms. Robertson teaches on Tuesday, in week 19, or during the "fourth unit," and it generally consists of scopes and sequences, actual lessons, textbooks, reading assignments, and such.
Over a stated period of time, curriculum combined with pedagogy, properly applied by teachers and ingested by students, is supposed to result in the attainment of standards.
But it's blurry. Standards range from vague to specific and from few to numerous. Curriculum ranges all over the place, from a forty-seven-minute lesson to a yearlong, even multi-year scope and sequence.
In general, in the U.S. in 2013, states prescribe standards, at least in core school...
It's not exactly news that America's education system is mediocre and expensive in international comparison. What's less well known is that our schools' ineffectiveness and inefficiency could have big implications for the country's economic growth in decades to come. In a new book from the Brookings Institution Press, three of the world's leading education scholars explain that nothing short of America's prosperity is at risk due to our educational underperformance.
In today's Education Next book club, Mike Petrilli speaks with all three authors—Eric Hanushek, Paul E. Peterson, and Ludger Woessmann—about the evidence they bring to bear in Endangering Prosperity: A Global View of the American School.
Additional installments of the Ed Next Book Club podcast can be heard here.
This post originally appeared on the Education Next blog. Check out the Education Gadfly Weekly for a short review of the book.
Thanks to the tireless work of school-choice advocates and wise policymakers, millions of U.S. children and their parents now have education options that were not available to them a few short years ago. But the choice picture is sorely incomplete. Consider:
Why hasn't more progress been made in providing options to children? It's simple: Most school-choice programs are zero-sum propositions, in which one school or district gains the student and the funding while another loses. And politicians—even Republicans—are loath to take resources from traditional public schools, especially those in the suburbs and small towns that they represent.
In recent years, however, new programs have begun to spring up that allow choice at the more granular level of individual courses rather than through all-or-nothing, enrollment-based, school choice. Rick Hess and Bruno Manno explored this idea in detail in their 2011 book Customized Schooling. Now in a handful of states, children enrolled in a traditional public school can take courses from other public schools, virtual schools, private schools, or even post-secondary institutions....
No, I'm not suggesting that social studies kill people, but the recent emission by the National Council for the Social Studies of "guidance for enhancing the rigor of K–12 civics, economics, geography, and history" does have this in common with the agreement that the U.S. and Russia reached in Geneva on Saturday regarding Syria's chemical weapons: both are termed "frameworks" and neither will do any good unless many other people do many other things that they are highly unlikely to do.
The Syrians must itemize, declare, and dismantle their chemical weapons. All of them. Fast. Who really thinks that's going to happen?
And for the College, Career and Civic Life Framework for Social Studies State Standards to have any positive influence on this woebegone realm of the American curriculum, states and districts (and textbook publishers, teachers, etc.) must supply all the content. For this framework is avowedly, even proudly, devoid of all content.
Nowhere in its 108 pages will you find Abraham Lincoln, the Declaration of Independence, Martin Luther King (or Martin Luther), a map of the United States, or the concept of supply and demand. You won't find anything that you might think children should actually learn about history, geography, civics or economics.
Instead, you will something called an "Inquiry Arc," defined as "as set of interlocking and mutually supportive ideas that frame the ways students learn...
If you were surfing the web in mid-2004, you were almost certainly using Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser to do it. Despite frequent concerns over its security, stability, and speed, this single tool for viewing content online was then used by more than 95 percent of Americans using the internet.
Shortly thereafter, and with the help of a crowd-funded, full-page ad in the New York Times, a small non-profit named Mozilla quickly began to erode Microsoft's market share with its new, open-source Firefox browser. Today, even though Internet Explorer remains the default software on the still-ubiquitous Windows operating system for personal computers, only about one in four web users browse with it, while many millions now use Firefox along with Apple's Safari and Google's Chrome.
Today, Mozilla is undertaking a new challenge that, along with other recent technology-driven trends, has the potential to radically transform how Americans get educated and find work. The project is called Open Badges, and it might someday replace the résumé, the job search, and even education as we know it.
Classrooms are but one of many settings in which learning occurs, but demonstrating the sum total of what you know and what you can do on a college or job application often means turning over a transcript with little more than course titles and letter grades. Open Badges is a platform that allows anyone earn credentials by completing coursework or learning new skills in formal to quite informal settings. Badges are typically competency-based and tell potential employers exactly...
Sending an e-mail to ed-reformers and asking for their two cents results in a many responses, as Michael Petrilli learned when he shared his article "The Problem with Proficiency" and asked, "Who's with me?"
Here's a small snapshot of the thoughtful, respectful, and fifty-eight-round (!) conversation that included forty-some opinionated edu-thinkers.
1. Pressures all of us to do better, by shining the spotlight particularly on our most vulnerable children, and what we are doing to help them succeed;
2. Credits improvement appropriately;
3. Defines success (and frankly, proficiency) radically differently than by a test score; and
4. Includes accountability for what we value—and for managerial steps that must be taken such as the provision of supports, not simply outcomes."
Note: This post is part of our Netflix Academy series. See background, and links to other educational videos worth streaming, here.
Constitution Day is Tuesday, which is an excellent opportunity to teach children about our nation's founding (a subject required for study by the Common Core state standards).
That gave me an excuse to dig into the Netflix and Amazon archives to find videos that might be available that could help elementary school children learn about our founders, the Revolutionary War, and the big ideas of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.
Unfortunately, there's not much. Most of what's online is a better fit for older students—probably middle schoolers—such as several of Ken Burns' excellent documentaries.
But thanks to the wonderful animated shows Liberty's Kids and the classic Schoolhouse Rock!, all is not lost.
As always, if I've missed something good that's on Netflix or Amazon Prime, please let me know in the comments section below.
Aimed at seven- through twelve-year-olds, the series introduces kids to the American revolution through the eyes of two teenaged apprentice reporters—one from England and one from America—who experience firsthand the conflicts and events that shaped America. Famous names such as Walter Cronkite, Dustin Hoffman, Annette Bening, Michael Douglas,...
Don't call me and my friends Chicken Littles or "boys (and girls) who cried wolf." The sky was beginning to fall down—and the wolf was approaching the lamb—three decades ago when we joined the National Commission on Excellence in Education in warning that the country's future and the career (and income and social-mobility) prospects of millions of its citizens were in jeopardy due to the weak condition of our education system.
A quarter-century or so later, we face a slack economy, widening income gaps, and diminishing prospects for those who lack a solid education—as well as all manner of other problems that befall them.
As Northwestern University sociologist Robert Gordon recently wrote, "Companies pay better-educated people higher wages because they are more productive. The premium that employers pay to a college graduate compared with that to a high school graduate has soared since 1970, because of higher demand for technical and communication skills at the top of the scale and a collapse in demand for unskilled and semiskilled workers at the bottom."
To be sure, multiple factors have conspired to raise unemployment and hold down wages for unskilled and weakly skilled Americans. Included on that list are globalization, outsourcing, robots, recessions, bubbles, bankruptcies, declining unions, and deteriorating families. But the line of causation runs in two directions: A weakly educated population also holds down the national economy, the evidence of which is admirably summarized in Endangering Prosperity, the recent book by Eric Hanushek, Paul Peterson, and...
Arne Duncan was right to call attention to 9/11 as an important opportunity for teaching children about the heinous events of that day twelve years ago, about honoring those who perished, and about the value of "coming together" as Americans.
But he missed a terrific opportunity to remind American educators that kids need context and background knowledge if they're to make sense of 9/11—or, frankly, of much else, right down to and including what's going on in Syria today. That calls for a solid, content-centric K–12 curriculum, including lots and lots of history, geography, and civics, the great neglected subjects of the typical "social studies" curriculum. E.D. Hirsch's Core Knowledge sequence would be a swell place to start.
For the benefit of teachers (and high school/college students) who want to understand 9/11 in context, over the past dozen years we at Fordham have also produced three collections of terrific essays by thoughtful, eminent Americans on how to make sense of those events and what children need to know about them. You (and Secretary Duncan) can find this guidance here, here, and here.
I liked Preston Smith from the very start.
We talked about sports and music, teased each other like high school friends, and bonded over stories of our young kids and smart, loving wives. We also shared a hardscrabble past and a set of small shoulder chips that produced in both of us a forward-leaning posture and an abiding passion for education reform.
But there's so much more to Preston, the CEO and co-founder of Rocketship Education, maybe the hottest CMO in America. He made it out of a tough neighborhood, attended and excelled at a top-flight university, joined Teach For America, won awards for his extraordinary teaching, served as a founding principal in his early twenties, and then started the first Rocketship school—turning both into the highest performing schools in San Jose, CA.
He worked his way up through the organization, and when CEO John Danner resigned in early 2013, Preston, at only 33, took the organization's helm and was charged with overseeing both its existing eight schools and audacious national growth plans.
I was lucky enough to be part of a two-year professional development program with Preston. I've been witness to everything from his thoughtful interpretation and explanation of complex texts, to his hilarious participation in late-night parlor games, to his fired-up commitment to organizing low-income families. And despite his laundry list of strengths, he shows great modesty (my...

Looking for a brief overview as to what sort of maintainance a wooden boat requires over GRP boats.
On say a 35 foot new construction plank on frame boat, How long before planks need replcing assuming yearly haulouts, repainting as necessary, ensuring deck leaks fixed promptly.
How long before needing refastening. How expensive is a refastening. How often does decks need attention to prevent leakage?
Lots of questions, little knowledge as to what wooden boat maintanance entails.
I love the looks over the clorox bottles, but have heard horror stories about the maintainance.
What about recaulking seams? How often is that needed?
Larry Pardey writes rather disparagingly in "The Cost Concious Cruiser" about epoxy properties in Cold Molded Wood boats as epoxy has proven to be less waterproof than previously thought, and also starts to degrade at temperature starting at 120 degrees.
Looking for a wooden boat maintainance primer.
Thanks in advance.

The GT 6L6GE is used in the 57 Tweed, Vibroverb and Vibro King amps.
If you are trying to match your stock tube rating with the GT rating:
On Fender amps, output tubes in newer amps are color coded. The scale is:
Blue = GT 1-3 rating
White = GT 4-7 rating
Red = GT 8-10 rating
Low, medium, and high style descriptions refer to break up modes of the tube for an overdriven guitar signal. High-rated tubes break up slow and have the highest amount of headroom, while low-rated tubes break up easier and have the least headroom, yielding a heavier, harder distortion. Medium-rated tubes fall in between.
