Customer Care
Customer Care Department
Goodall Homes' Customer Care Department is managed in-house, allowing us the opportunity to deliver you the best quality service on your home both during construction and afterwards. Following are the steps we take to ensure you are excited about the quality and service you receive on your home, not only throughout the buying process, but afterward as well:
Internal Quality Control Inspection
Approximately two weeks prior to closing, the Customer Care Department conducts an Internal Quality Control inspection on your home. This allows for any "last minute" items to be resolved well before you close on your new home.
Welcome Home Celebration
Approximately one week prior to closing, Goodall Homes invites you to a "Welcome Home Celebration", which takes place in your new home. During this time, a representative from our Customer Care Department will demonstrate your new home, describing a multitude of features that you will enjoy while residing in your Goodall home. During this meeting, they will also review the details of your Warranty, and answer any other questions you may have. This is a very exciting time, as we are about to cross the finish line, and you are very close to becoming a new home owner!
After Move-In
The Customer Care Department does not stop there. Once you move into your home, they are readily available to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
One-Year Inspection
As you are nearing the one-year mark of owning your Goodall Home, the Customer Care Department offers a One-Year Inspection, where they will gladly address any warranty-covered items. By this time you have settled in and have enjoyed living in your new Goodall Home for an entire year! Our goal is that you will be as happy now (or even happier) than the day you moved in!
1st Year
The first year warranty coverage period includes a limited warranty on most defects in workmanship and materials. This warranty is for the original homeowner ONLY and cannot be transferred to a second homeowner.
2nd Year
The second year warranty coverage period includes a limited warranty on all defects in workmanship only on plumbing, electric, and heat/air. This warranty is for the original homeowner ONLY and cannot be transferred to a second homeowner.
Up to 10 Years
After the second year, Goodall Homes no longer offers any warranty coverage, but RESIDENTIAL WARRANTY COMPANY offers in years 3-10 a limited warranty on major structural components of your home. This warranty is transferable to second homeowners.
Guild Quality
Goodall Homes ranks Customer Satisfaction and Feedback as our most important gauge as to how we are doing in meeting our customer's needs. Being locally owned and managed, we know that having happy homeowners is our best form of advertising. Because of this, we seek feedback from our customers at three different stages:
1. Shortly after Contract (approximately 30 days after contract).
2. Shortly after Closing (approximately 30 days after closing).
3. Long after Closing (one year after closing).
This allows us to examine our performance before, during, and after the construction of our customer's new home. It gives customers a chance to give ratings and feedback regarding the sales process, the construction process, and the customer care and warranty process. Customers can also give feedback on their experience with specific employees as well. This feedback is reviewed and analyzed by our entire team, allowing each and every employee to know how well they are serving their customers.
Goodall uses a third party surveyor, Guild Quality, to obtain this feedback from our customers. The feedback given is then translated into a Net Promoter score for our company, our individual communities, and individual employees. This is the best way we have found to quantify our performance. This information is then used to allow us to learn, grow, and excel as a company.
In 2010, Goodall Homes received the prestigious designation of Guild Master, which recognizes exemplary service in the real estate and construction profession.
For more information on Guild Quality, please click here.
"I have been recommending Goodall to friends, family, and acquaintances. The main reasons being the employees that I have worked the most. They make you feel like they're glad to be working with you--that you matter to them and are never a bother."
Elaine, Ladd Park (Franklin, TN)
"We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have stumbled across Goodall Homes in our search for a new home. Everyone we met went out of their way to accommodate the particulars of our situation. Thanks to all for an incredible home buying experience."
John and Donna, StoneBridge (Lebanon, TN)
"My experience in the Design Center with was excellent. I was made to feel very comfortable and I was the only one they were concerned about. They were never too busy for me."
Roseanne, Lenox Place (Gallatin, TN)
"We're very happy with Goodall and very excited about the house."
Michael and Tracy, Elk Acres (Gallatin, TN)
"We were satisfied with the whole process and the service was very good. We are very happy."
James and Diana, Ladd Park (Franklin)
"I have had a good experience working with the staff of Goodall Homes. I really think that they are wonderful people and I hope that I have made some lifelong friends."
Elaine, Ladd Park (Franklin, TN)
"Everything is so perfect. I wouldn't change anything."

Two homeless people spend three days on an island on the Colorado River before one of them manages to reach the shore to call for help for the other. The Grand Junction Fire Department Water Rescue Team pulled a woman from an island near the Grand Avenue bridge Wednesday morning, three days after she and her companion found themselves stranded by high water.
Victor Fronk has been a regular summer resident on river islands for years, and says he's familiar with the moods of the Colorado River. This year an above–average snowpack is rapidly melting from an early heat wave. That's making the state's largest river run higher and faster than Fronk expected.
Wednesday, he decided to wade through knee–deep water to get food for himself and his female friend. He tried to take the unidentified woman with him on an inner tube, but he reconsidered when the water proved to be too fast.
The Grand Junction Fire Department Water Rescue Team was already on the water doing a swift–water rescue exercise when they were called to help the stranded woman. She was unharmed.
Fronk says he likes being on the islands because if the natural beauty and wildlife.

Connor Barwin
lmao!...wtf was that
Don't know how big of a jump you mean, but I've seen Moreno projected late first round.. I have a feeling a team in the top half of the first round wants him just hasnt made it public knowledge. Just my opinion

[QUOTE=PiffDaddy;3099447]Mercy Percy Harvin[/QUOTE]
With the money involved for a 1st round pick and the fact that he will be involved in the NFL drug testing program due to issues at the combine a very risky pick in my opinion. The fact that he could test posative in the program and get suspened (Sapp was prier to this rule if memory serves me) is huge.

Topic: BUGmodules / Some ideas for modules.. (a rather long list!)I was a bit bored one night and thought up a few things that i thought could be fun to put on a BUG :)
Environmental Input Device:
A module that has a few basic sensors such as temperature, humidity, light, air pressure, etc (seems a waste making extra modules for each one). Also the module could ideally include ports that allowed sensors to be extended - say for temperature probes. The module could be used for things like doing some output at a certain temperature, logging conditions in say a greenhouse, measuring light for photography, etc.
Perhaps a more useful device would be one with say three "probe ports" to which could be added sensors that the user desires.
A great addition to the GPS module, so that not only can you show *where* you are, but also how high up, and so on. This could even be used for sports like skydiving - measuring your descent rate, coupled with GPS so that you can plot a 3D graph of your movement. Although this would ideally mean that it would have a range of around +15000 feet.
Or, pop your bug on a kite, altimeter hits X height, bug starts taking pictures - possibly a parachute module would also be astute.
Memory Expansion:
If you're going to implement speakers, then obviously people are going to use the BUG as an MP3 playback device, so more memory - say a compactflash, SD, etc card reader would be a useful expansion.
In the same vein, you could add modules that increase the base unit's functionality, such as RAM modules, modules that add extra processing functionality (say for graphics, sound etc.) or a module with a more powerful antenna for wifi, etc.
Presumably this IS in the pipeline, but basically a module that has an omnidirectional microphone and an output port. It could also have a mic in port so that you could extend the range of the mic.
Circuit Development:
Possible things ideas include a digital multimeter that can output a log to onboard memory, slots for programming integrated circuits like PIC, a breadboard like module (ie stream a design to the LCD screen and then build and test on the breadboard module which takes power from either the BUG or a built in battery).
Or possibly even a function generator with basic outputs like Sine, Square and Triangular waves.
Lighting module:
Something simple like an array of LED's that can be controlled individually or as a single bright light, connect it up to my previously mentioned function generator and you've got yourself strobe lights, connect it up to a microphone and you've got a rave box that can pulse in time to the music, connect it to a light sensor so it goes on when it gets dark - the list goes on!
Mentioned before, but this would be very cool, using your BUG as the ultimate media remote, streaming pictures from your phone to your BUG to save or stream to your PC, etc.
Something like those old business card scanners you can get, the scanner "bit" would be on one of the edges so that you sweep the bug along one of it's vertices across the text or whatever you want to scan.
In the same sort of idea, a printer attachment - perhaps the same size as the bug but with a single module "bridge". It would easily work as a thermal printer so you can take pictures, print them off, have a calculator print off your calculations, fetch your emails and print them, etc.
Button Inputs:
A vision of the old Gameboy comes to mind, LCD screen on one module, buttons on the bottom.. and so on! But yes, buttons for extra input, maybe even a way of customisable locations - such as a breadboard type design with pin style buttons.
Solar Power:
This one actually might just work! Like a spare battery, put the solar panel on so you can power your BUG on the move - i imagine it doesn't need an excessive amount of power, even then, it'd be pretty cool/useful.
Also, battery modules - i assume they're in the works too?
Hot/Cold pads:
More of a fun idea than anything else, but modules that either heat up or cool down - i'm sure there's a use for them somewhere!
Have a laser module for some reason or another, face it, if it has lasers, you get +10 coolness however useless it is!
Motor mounting:
Just a module containing maybe a couple of servos or something to that effect, linked up to the lcd screen to control. Or for use as a motorised tripod (again, already mentioned!). Another thing that springs to mind is robotics, so motor housing to control legs, etc.
Radio module:
Transmit or recieve - your choice! A module containing a radio transmitter that you could use to control another BUG with a radio reciever - say with the above robotics ideas.
Force Feedback:
A module that provides tactile feedback based on what's going on, perhaps linked to an exeternal device or to the accelerometer.
Swipe Card Reader - A basic magnetic swipe reader/writer
RFID Tag Writer/Read - Already mentioned, but would be very cool!
Fingerprint Scanner - Same sort of deal as the RF and Swipe readers.
Some kind of module that you detach, it takes in data of some description stores it on onboard memory - it could take memory cards as well - and then you dock it with the BUG and it downloads it's data ready for processing. Not sure what exactly you could do - and it would have to be powered somehow, but it could be used say with temperature? Or even as a spy bug, it records audio data and then you return it to "base" and it downloads it for you.
The best way i can think of for linking two Base stations together as a way of expanding the ports would be to have a way of "snapping" them together. I initially though of just using 2 double width modules and bridging it along the top, but you then use up four ports so you're not really expanding. Either that or make modules with sides that can clip onto each other (whilst preserving the aesthetic) or.. use one of the ports on the sides as a way of clipping 2 bases together. Although it would be possible i suppose to put a sort of extra flat bit on the top that still accepts modules so that you get 2 units that's just a little higher than normal. Linking generally then i suppose wifi would be easiest.
MIDI Keyboard:
An small keyboard for messing around on, keys could light up when pressed (or for tutorial style learning). It would only need to be an octave (with maybe 1 note either side) and with maybe a pitch wheel.

Family members tell NBC Montana that Nate Snaric is no longer missing, and has been found safe.
Snaric has been with his mom in Cascade County, and called his wife at 2 a.m. Friday to let her know he was OK.
Snaric was reported missing Monday after friends and family in Missoula had not heard from him for a few days.
Family members tell NBC Montana that Snaric moved to Williston, North Dakota in June to work for Alltite, a company that provides equipment and materials for oil drilling rigs.
The former Big Sky graduate served in the United States Marine Corps, and according to family, served two tours in Afganistan, and one in Iraq.

Il Volo — the popular Italian Opera trio from Sicily — features three teens with tenor voices so strong, they got America's attention after one of the best guest performances in the history of American Idol, singing "O Sole Mio" last year. They formed in 2009 and were received very well in their native country, performing with some of the biggest international superstars in their short history. The group consists of Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble. They are now set for their second U.S. tour which comes through Cincinnati tomorrow (Friday) night.
Il Volo is produced by long time industry veteran Tony Renis, who discovered the boys two years ago along with Grammy-winning producer Humberto Gatica (Michael Bublé, Josh Groban and Celine Dion).
CityBeat caught up with Gianluca Ginoble this week by phone to discuss his love of touring and how much he enjoys getting to do what he loves every day. He is just learning English but was able to provide a little insight into to the band's grueling tour schedule. Check out Il Volo at Riverbend's PNC Pavilion on Friday.
CityBeat: I know you were introduced to opera from family members growing up in Italy. How important is family tradition to you?
Gianluca Ginoble: My family is the most important thing because my Grandpa is my inspiration. It was him that introduced me to this kind of music. But I love others as well, like Michael Buble and Frank Sinatra. I love Opera, but I also I love other kinds of music too. To me family is the most important thing.
CB: You guys are going to start a long tour being away from home. Is it hard being on the road being away from friends and family or what is the hardest part for you?
GG: When I am home, I can't wait to do another tour because this is now my life. For me, it is like funny work because this is my passion. I am doing what I love to do, but when I am on tour I can't wait to come back to my house and my home because I miss the family, my Grandpa. My Grandma died six months ago and for me it was an amazing pain. He was very important for me.
CB: I am sorry to hear that. Are there any places on the tour in the United States that you are specifically looking forward to playing, the location or the venue?
GG: Yes, yes, yes. My favorite city is Los Angeles. New York as well, but Los Angeles is the city of the dreams and the star, the Walk of Fame, the Oscars. For me it is the best city.
CB: What has been your rehearsal process for the tour? What has that been like for you?
GG: We have prepared with eight or nine hour rehearsals daily.
CB: Every day?
GG: Yes, because this is our first concert and we are preparing. When we have the soundcheck before the concert it is just 20 minutes or 30 minute,s so we have major rehearsals to get ready.
CB: How do you take care of your voices?
GG: Yes always, our voices are the most important thing.
CB: Do you ever see the band crossing over to pop music or do you think you will stay with Opera?
GG: I don't know. We are open to many things. We did an American tour and it was wonderful, amazing because there were teenagers everywhere and in the U.S., in Miami, Los Angeles, New York and this is beautiful because it was our goal and this is a dream come true.
CB: Where do you see yourself or the band in 10 more years?
GG: I don't know. I hope all this can continue in this way but life is unpredictable.
CB: What is your favorite song to sing and perform?
GG: "Smile," a Charlie Chaplin song.
CB: What can the fans look forward to in Cincinnati at the show?
GG: It is going to be a very beautiful show with more surprises. We have changed some things and I think it is going to be amazing. We have three new songs, which are a surprise.
CB: How do stay connected to your fans with Facebook or Twitter?
GG: Always, always. I update my fans, our fans. I am always doing "Greetings from …" I upload the pictures.
CB: What are you looking forward to the most on the tour?
GG: The most beautiful thing is to meet the fans. When I look at the people and they are happy and when they listen to our singing and we can make them happy, it is just beautiful.
A couple of weeks ago, local indie publishing house Aurore Press released a book featuring memories and essays by people involved with the seminal local Punk club The Jockey Club. Stories for Shorty was feted with an in-store party at Shake It Records and a "Jockey Club Reunion" at the Southgate House, with reunited sets by The Thangs, The Reduced and SS-20 (who are still playing shows but were reportedly joined by original guitarist Pete Sturdevant). Check out some pics from the event here and be sure to pick up a book (while they last) to get a great impression of what Punk Rock was like in the Cincinnati area in the 1980s.
I missed my chance to put a submission in for the book, but I still wanted to write a few words about a club (and musical style) that meant a lot to my musical upbringing.
The Gentlemen of the Road stopover tour started off as a rather simple concept. Mumford & Sons would invite a few of their music-playing friends to travel with them. They'd stop over for the weekend in towns they'd never been to before, towns they had no reason to visit. They would play two days' worth of gigs for people they'd probably not ever played for before.It was just a small, scattered list of dates in BFE. NBD. Somewhere along the way, it became something much different. And much bigger. The "stopover tour" now looks much more like a takeover tour.
"It's more about the town than the music," was a sentiment you could hear echoed all over town. From the security guards to the people charging fans $20 to park in their driveway near the festival grounds. And that is an accurate statement.
When the Gentlemen rolled into Troy on the very last weekend of August they did, indeed, take over the tiny town. They did everything possible to put Troy's best foot forward. The city center, with the fountain that turns pink in June for a strawberry festival, was closed down. WACO airfield was turned into a magnificent parking lot. Multiple school districts sent school buses to help transport music lovers from the parking lot to just a few blocks away from the festival grounds. You never had to wait for a bus, there were always plenty. Why can't school districts work their own bussing schedules so fluidly? Even the Wendy's in the next town stayed open until 2 a.m. in order to cater to Mumford fans.
Mumford & Sons ran Troy's economy. The bakery served a limited menu and from the window hung loaves of bread shaped like mustaches – the international symbol for "Folk band." A seemingly otherwise unused storefront became Mumford Market, which sold strawberry donuts and other festival essentials. Every storefront had a purpose, featuring window art of the four Brits in charge, of their acoustic instruments or of that omnipresent mustache (it was even painted on the streets). Aside from the Troy High School football field, which held the main stage and the bulk of fest goers, there were still two small stages downtown and another handful of street performers littering the crowded streets.
Heck, they even took over the Troy Police Department. For a town as tiny as Troy, they can't possibly have very many cops and it seemed like nearly all of them were roaming around inside the closed-off festival area. You know that hard-assed vibe cops often get, especially when pulling security detail? Troy cops were the nicest (and best looking) unit to pull security at a concert I've seen. One of the highlights of the festival was watching an older (clearly drunk) woman swat an officer's backside with her tambourine. He was quick to whip around and give her a quirk of the brow. When she gave him a grin and a wink, he laughed, wagged his finger and carried on. Later, as the woman and her tambourine flirted endlessly with one of the security guards, the TPD watched with grins and amusement. Nothing more.
And that bout of tambourine-assisted sexual harassment? Probably one of the worst crimes committed during the festival. One of the stage security guards remarked at how surprisingly low-maintenance the crowd was and one of the police officers on duty was quick to agree that the out-of-towners were exceptionally well-behaved. All of his calls had been to deal with locals — and even those calls didn't seem like anything noteworthy or unusual for a festival environment.
Mumford & Sons fans know how to be polite when overtaking a city.
The festival repaid fans by taking over their nature. When they bought their tickets for the stopover date, they were sent a wristband, a fancy holographic ticket and a passport. The passport held info about last year's first ever stopover tour, the band, the best restaurants and scenes to check out while in the area. And, just like a real passport, there were places to have stamped. Certain restaurants and stores had stamps. Every performer had a person in a booth at the back of the stadium with a custom stamp. People walked the festival grounds" with the rubber stamp, ready to bequeath another ink splotch on each passport. It was a race to get them all. A chance to maybe, just maybe, win a prize or learn something new.
What you really want to know about is the music though, right?
The festival may have been more about the town than the music, but the music was still what drew thousands of people to Troy's gorgeous city streets. It was, after all, a concert, and the music that took over Troy's stadium needs to be discussed.
Friday was a short day, with the festivities not kicking off until after everyone had time to show up after work. Of course, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, the Friday night headliners, were the clear draw for fans on Day 1. The Zeros have traveled with Mumford & Sons before, most notably on their "railroad revival" tour, and even released their newest album on the Communion label, a pet project of Mumford's piano player, Ben Lovett. Technically, the band is solid. The only difference between their records and their live performances is the sheer amount of energy they bring to the stage. The group has fun on stage and that fun easily makes its way into the crowd. But if you've seen one Edward Sharpe concert, you've seen them all. If you haven't ever seen them, then you're missing out.
Saturday was magnificent, loud and the best kind of exhausting you could imagine. A little after lunch, the stage came to life with the lovely Indie Brit Rock band Bear's Den (who will be back in Ohio to play Cincinnati's MidPoint Music Festival at the end of the month). They might have only kicked off the day, but their talent deserved a later slot. After Bear's Den came Nashville's Those Darlins, headed by Jessi Darlin, a wisp of a girl with a set of dragon-sized lungs. Rubblebucket, from Brooklyn, showed up next and bestowed upon festival goers all their weird, twitching energy. They're awesome, but putting them before the decidedly more mellow (but still oh-so-awesome) Justin Townes Earle seemed a little ill-placed. It felt a little like revving the engine of a Mustang when you're still three stop signs away from an open country road. Justin Townes Earle was brilliant, of course, but very laid back, and Rubblebucket left everyone pretty amped. On the upside, Earle's joke about the Westboro Baptist Church earned him laughs.
Mumford & Sons also imported their friends, The Vaccines. Also hailing from England, The Vaccines' lead singer Justin Young previously recorded on the Communion label as Jay Jay Pistolet, a far more tame version of the vintage Rock that evolved to make The Vaccines what they are today. This new creation doesn't seem to get quite as much love from Communion's heads as some of their other friends and that's really a shame. The Vaccines are with Columbia now and blowing up in the U.K., but still floundering in America. They're brilliant, though, and crowds eat them up. They sound gritty and much more Punk Rock than anything on the radio right now, but they could very easily end up on those playlists. They bring an insane amount of sexual energy to the stage, too. Remember that old Almost Famous quote about the fans "getting off?" One guttural bellow from Young ignited a crowd full of shrieks. The end of The Vaccines meant half the crowd needed a cigarette.
Earlier in the day, one of the security guards said he'd worried the concert would be full of Bluegrass bands, something he hated. So far, though, he liked what he had heard. He had no idea that after The Vaccines, things were about to get real blue, real fast. Old Crow Medicine Show are old pros by now. Not only have they toured with Mumford & Sons previously, but they've also been around for ages. Maybe that's why their concerts always seem similar. They're a blast and, if you know all their songs, you'll be hoarse by the end of their set. But, at the end of the day, nothing changes much from concert to concert … not even the between-song banter.
Somewhere during the Old Crow set an older, surlier photographer made a comment that I caught just the tail-end of. He either said "They're better than this" or "I'm better than this." The answer to both of those sentimentswas the same, however. "Clearly Not." If Old Crow were better than doing a clone show in a tiny town, then millions of people wouldn't be singing along to "Wagon Wheel" right now and thinking it was by Darius freaking Rucker. And, if that photog were better than that festival, well, he wouldn't have been there. Oh, the egos.
Mumford & Sons finally took the stage just as the sun was sinking down past the stadium, though we'd seen them during the set before when they crashed a few Old Crow songs. The first time I saw them was in 2010 at Beachland Ballroom. They sold out the 500-person capacity room and joked their way through the entire set. Not much has changed in those three years except the size of the crowd. As I bought a pair of Vaccines underwear from the merchandise barn (because, why not?), one of the boys added a sincere moment. Winston Marshall (I think. I was really far from the stage by then and trying to size underwear) told the fans there were a lot of people in America that the band loved "very, very much." And that there were a few dickheads, too. Whether playing to a crowd of 500 or 50,000, the guys of Mumford know how to make each group of people feel awesome. Even if it's just knowing to say, "O-H!" and grin when the Ohio crowd screams back the usual reply of, "I-O!" After all these years, they still really get a kick out of that trick.
Their performance was great, too. But it seems pointless to tell you that. At this point, Mumford & Sons have become so famous, so overplayed on the radio, you've no doubt already made up your mind about those four mates from London. Either you love them or you hate them. End of story. For me, the answer is love. I can respect a well-informed adverse opinion on the matter, however. So I won't try to change your mind.
I walked back to my car as the Yacht Club DJs began their cool-down set after Mumford & Sons left the stage. Troy was quiet except for the bands and the revelers and drunks (so it wasn't very quiet at all). But the town has a peaceful vibe to it and the band has always had a respectful sense to themselves that together kept everyone in check.
Would I do it again? Yes. But do I still absolutely hate festivals? Yes. Would I recommend the experience to anyone that made it this far in my review? Without hesitation, I recommend that you go visit Troy. And I will always tell everyone I meet that Mumford & Sons puts on the best show around and you should witness it once in your life. Whether you decide to hold out for their next stopover tour or settle for their next arena show, that's up to you. Or, if you decide to wait a decade until the fuss dies down and they're back to playing places like the Beachland or Bogart's, I won't judge you. I already know those gigs will be just as amazing.
Goo Goo Dolls have come a long way since they started in 1986 in the crumbling rust belt city of Buffalo, NY, where the band was probably started for no better reason than to kill time, make some music and hopefully get a few free beers from the clubs where they were lucky enough to get a gig. They have stayed together for over two decades and continue to create hits on the music charts. Their current single "All That You Are" is getting serious radio play and is featured in the newest installment of the Transformers franchise, Transformers: Dark of The Moon.
CityBeat spoke with vocalist and lead guitarist John Rzeznik about tour life, longevity, and the future of the popular group.
David Hebert was the man shot and killed last night in Northside by police. But most who knew him wouldn't recognize the name. Hebert, a beloved, longtime local musician and local music supporter, is far better known by his nickname, Bones. An expressive drummer, in the '90s he was the rhythmic foundation for local bands like AMF and Shoot the Gift, as well as other Rock and Punk bands.
American Ska legends The Toasters perform a free show tonight at MOTR Pub in Over-the-Rhine. Showtime is 10 p.m. and — sorry, kids — you must be 21 or older to get in.
The band was one of the leading inspirations behind the "third-wave" Ska explosion of the '90s, but the band actually began 30 years ago, influenced by the 2-Tone Ska movement in the U.K. The Toasters blend of NYC Rock and 2-Tone made them cult heroes in the Ska underground, as did the band's D.I.Y. approach; founding member (the sole one in the current lineup) Robert "Bucket" Hingley formed the influential Moon Ska Records in 1983 to release his own albums, as well as those by acts like Mustard Plug, The Slackers and Hepcat. The label's various compilations also gave a boost to up-and-coming, non-Moon acts like Less Than Jake and No Doubt.
Here's The Toasters' first music video, for the tune "Radiation Skank" off of the band's debut release, 1985's Recriminations EP (which was produced by British singer/songwriter Joe Jackson; he is to The Toasters what Elvis Costello was to The Specials).
And here is "Modern World America" off The Toasters' 2002 release, Enemy of the System.
In advance of The National's highly anticipated free performance this Thursday at Fountain Square, I had the opportunity to talk with the lead singer of the band, Matt Berninger. The concert is part of a rally in support of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, donning the title "Vote Early, Rock Late." It will feature political speakers and buses to take people to early voting locations, as well as two bands — Dayton natives The Breeders followed by Cincinnati's own (though they live in Brooklyn now) The National. And, of course, there will be "plenty of Rock & Roll and beer," as Berninger succinctly puts it. (UPDATE: The National's management says they are unsure of what times the bands will play, as of now. The only sure thing — both will play between 5 and 9 p.m.).
Berninger explains that the concert came together rather innocently; they simply wanted to show support for their candidate of choice. Initially the thought was to play a benefit concert, but as it all evolved, a rally seemed more appropriate, both in terms of what the band really wanted to accomplish and the nature of Obama's campaign.
"It was our idea, but there have been so many people pitching in and helping along the way," Berninger says. "No one is getting paid here, so it was really exciting to see so many people take the time to make this happen."
The National's fundraiser for the Obama campaign developed in a similarly organic manner. Shirts depicting Obama's face accompanied by the song title of what has become a familiar show-closer for the band, "Mr. November."
"About nine months ago, that song came (up during a show) and I dedicated it to (Obama)," Berninger remembers. "And it wasn't until about halfway through the song that I realized just how perfectly it fit, in terms of both mood and timing. That night, Scott (Devendorf, bassist from The National) and I decided to make a T-shirt and a week later we had a box to sell. I think it all happened in the midst of four hours, and since then we've been able to raise about $10,000, with all proceeds going directly to the campaign."
The band — whose song "Fake Empire" was used in a film about Obama showed at the Democratic National Convention — returns to their hometown of Cincinnati in the midst of one of the most significant presidential elections in history. Southwest Ohio – with its conservative reputation and rising liberal and progressive presence -- stands as arguably the most hotly contested location in the election.
"The thing I've always loved about the political landscape of Cincinnati is that you have it all," he says. "You have extremely conservative Cincinnatians and you also have very progressive lefties and often you have that all in the same family. I don't quite have the same conversations now, being in New York, that I used to in high school or around my dinner table in Cincinnati. And that's the healthy thing about being there, is that those conversations are happening, truthful, and among people that, at the end of day, you truly respect and love."
There is no hint of pessimism in Berninger's voice. Rather, he sounds truly enthused about the opportunity America has to elect a candidate like Barack Obama, a man whom he believes embodies the most admirable qualities.
"There is an intellect, compassion and empathy to (Obama) that doesn't seem fake," Berninger says. "I want the best of us to be in the White House. I want the cream of the crop of American thinkers to be making decisions for me, and (decisions) that are going to affect me, my family and our future. I want the smartest guy in the room and the groundswell of support Obama has gathered shows that people see that in him."
The National have recently wrapped up their tour in support of the critically-acclaimed album Boxer. They have written approximately 10 songs and returned to the studio to begin recording their follow-up. No word yet on a release date.

Today I was scanning the pop culture information super highway to catch up on the latest fads. What's cool, what's hott, what's in, what's not. As I clicked around I came across some newly published pictures of Jessica Simpson. As I gazed at her face with my bedroom eyes, they slowly transformed into bulging ping-pong balls. My F-stop quickly went from an f/8 to an f/1.4 in 1/500 of a second. The sight of this fat woman that was almost finished devouring Jessica Simpson's body, feet first, was on the front page of People magazine.
But the staff at Maribelle's eat + drink has nothing to hide; in fact, they want you to see their kitchen.
Maribelle's, which used to be located on Riverside Drive, is set to reopen Thursday at a new location on Madison Road in Oakley. Owners Leigh Enderle and Mike Florea wanted to create a restaurant that felt comfortable and open, so they redesigned the space that used to house Hugo to look like a kitchen at home.
The walls are now painted pastel yellow and green, and wooden chairs stand against high tables (designed by local architect Terry Boling) that look like kitchen islands. The kitchen line is completely exposed, as is the bar — so diners won't be left wondering how the staff operates or how clean the kitchen environment is.
"Transparency is the concept we're going for," says Enderle. "We want people to know where their food comes from and how it's made. We want them to understand the sourcing and we want them to understand how much work goes into the restaurant, too."
Chefs at Maribelle's will use hormone-free meat and seasonal
local ingredients for their American-fare menu items priced $8-15. Their
chicken and turkey products will come from Gerber Farms of central Ohio, and
their beer list will include domestic lagers, porters and IPAs. The restaurant will be open Tuesday-Sunday.
Maribelle's staff thinks that everyone has the right to know where their food came from, and they invite diners to ask questions about their meals.
"I care about what I eat. Not all the time, but I do care," says Enderle. "I care about where things come from, and I care that the animals are treated well. At Maribelle's, we want to make sure we know the story behind the ingredients that we're getting, and we want to make sure it fits into our concept of transparency."
Maribelle's eat + drink: 3235 Madison Road, Oakley, 513-321-9111. Find them on Facebook.
Here's the dish on hogs: they rank among the smartest in the animal kingdom and despite the phrase "pigging out," they actually savor their food. On March 1, National Pig Day, Americans across the Midwest don snouts, dress in pink and "eat like pigs" to celebrate their intelligence and contributions to mankind.

Hi: 9° Lo:2°
By Ian Dipple Thursday 14 August 2014 Updated: 15/08 09:07
COMEDY anecdotes, comic misunderstandings and plenty of banter are on offer as Jason Manford brings his latest show to Redditch.
The funnyman is stopping off at the Palace Theatre on Monday, September 29 at 8pm as part of his First World Problems tour.
Since he last took to the road Jason has tried his hand as an opera singer by joining Aflie Boe on tour after winning ITV1's Born To Shine. He has also made several television appearances on QI, Big Fat Quiz of the Year and Comedy World Cup.
But he is now back and ready to deliver more humour using his trademark likeable charm and teasingly intelligent wit.
Jason said: "Some of you might think I've had a career change what with all the opera and musical theatre I've been doing lately. Not a chance, I'm excited to be getting back to what I really love the most – stand up."
The show is suitable for those aged 16 and above. Tickets cost £23.25 and to book call the box office on 01527 65203.

I'm on Fedora distro server and OSX on Mac as client connected via crossover cable using a local IP. Fedora is serving web pages and the Mac is browsing and connected via ssh on the terminal. I was working on a problem with the page content and writing a file to the server with vim when this started happening. Not a big deal, but its strange. I could see my files but not open them,
- The file was not open in another virtual term or on the mac, because I quit the file after creating it. Then problems started when I tried to reopen to add more log data.
- I wasn't typing anything special to open the file: # vi file_name-v1.
- no weird naming, just underscore and hyphen.
- I could see the file in the directory, but I couldn't open it.
So, what's going on? Why can I see this file but not open it. And here's where it gets strange. When I couldn't open the file on one machine, the other machine could open it.
What I've ended up with is four or five log files I've been opening up on one machine, adding some data, then when I couldn't open the same file to append, I had to create a new file. They're all in the same directory. Its just weird. Does SSH throw my files into the Bermuda Triangle or Neutral Zone or something?
UPDATE- HAHA! I'm (<-- idiot) staring at this. Why can't I get this. It was the frig'n underscore, hyphen swap! I write these files like two or three a day, and the one time I use underscores in a date! Just got to laugh!

Are you boring?
- NonnieMuss Oct 20, 2013 01:37 PM
This isn't the insult it sounds like. Recently I was having lunch with a cousin and a cousin in-law, and my cousin (food blogger/cookbook writer) and I started an intense discussion of how to get a sauce to emulsify - add slurry? gelatin? egg yolks? We went on and on until we noticed our in-law's eyes glazed over.
Do you talk about food too much and bore the pants off your friends and loved ones? I know I do! I've been reading books about cheese for the last month, and I think if I bring it up one more time my husband will file for divorce. I guess it's the same as being stuck with fantasy-football enthusiasts, or two people who just Netflixed Lost and can't stop theorizing.
Conversation is an art, they say, and the art of it includes paying attention to everyone involved, to make sure that they all *are* involved and interested in whatever you're talking about. Sounds like you and your cousin didn't do that, but ignored your cousin-in-law as if he (?) wasn't even there. That's not just boring, it's discourteous and unfriendly.
Even worse is having a conversation with somebody who isn't even there, by cell phone. But you didn't ask about that.
re: John Francis
It's not as bad as it sounds - once we realized she was uninterested we stopped immediately. We are just both so interested in food and assumed she was too. I've been on the receiving end more than once so definitely try not to do that.
re: John Francis
but are you boring?
I try not to bring up food (and a couple of other topics). I will, of course, contribute if someone else starts that conversation.
Oh, I know I do it to DH..."wanna hear what they said on Chowhound?". "On Chowhound, someone asked about bla bla bla.."
Though if there's a good clever repartee going, he will let me read the whole thread to him aloud. ( This is especially fun on multi-day road trips). Lucky for me, he is a great audience and a quick wit.
When doing any type of "techno talk" I always do my best to draw in everyone in the audience. It usually works.
Then again my lovely wife is a computer geek. Two of them get together and: "DBA, Cobal, *$#(^)*&)(*&(*&^*&$&$!!"
I look around and grab the first person who's eyes are glazing over and start talking about food.
re: Motosport
Here, too. Everyone else talks about their hobbies and passions so I consider it OK.
re: Motosport
Hubs is a computer geek, too, and when he gets wound up, I start with my psych-speak ("trichotillomania's prevalance and the culture-bound syndromes"...ad infinitim)--usually helps to break his chain of computerese.
I have, though, hit his limits of tolerance with my recent specs recitals of the KA I'm getting next week. However, he's also shopping for computers, so we're cancelling each other out.
While staying at one of my ex-gf's house a few years ago, her dad took me to Burger King for dinner. He didn't understand why she and I had a profound interest in eating, and how people could spend some amount of money on it when something as simple as Burger King was sufficient, in other words, food.
That was the third time in my life I'd visited a Burger King, and I couldn't complain because he bought me a Cinnabon Cheesecake. Taking a photo of it was even more confounding to him, but I won't deny that he was pragmatic.
There are many times that I could, but if I'm not drunk I just try to back off and not talk about the stuff i've been studying since the early 1980s, or even earlier. I've even had a couple of informal mentors along the way. Nowdays it seems like everybody thinks they're a food expert, and sometimes (rarely) I find it funny, and sometimes (usually) it annoys the crap out of me.
I have a lunch partner (there's a big group of us) that tends to dominat the conversation with his expertise on food, politics, news, and the quality of the food at the cafeteria where we eat five days a week. Meanwhile, he has not brought his lunch except for one week, which looked like white bread with a slice of ham and some yellow cheese. Look- he's not a foodie, I know, or god forbid a chowhound, but since i'm a captive audience I get tired of his opinions. Sorry to vent, but sometimes nonchows posing as chowhounds get to be too much of a muchness. I was bombarded today at lunch, in case you hadn't guessed.
Sure. I've experienced the glaze over from other people and I've been glazed over when listening to other people...but I'd rather make glaze :)
You bring up a good point, know your audience isn't just a cliche. But I think most people have subjects they are uber enthu'sd about and subjects that bore them to tears.
That happens too often, when the food-subject turns to wines. Eyes glaze over, and excuses are quickly made, that allow the folk to move elsewhere.
Food is pretty much all I think about. I try not to talk about it with people who don't care, but even my "food buddy" seems to be getting tired of it. So yeah, I think maybe I am. :(

re: Tripeler

re: Bill Hunt
Actually, I think he's fallen off the Weiner-mobile. Not to mention the race for Mayor of NYC. Good riddance.
re: Tripeler
No, don't know no Carlos Danger. I am the crochety old uncle from your nightmares. Now, get off my lawn!
re: Uncle Yabai
You do need to catch up on Carlos Danger, just to stay current.
re: Uncle Yabai
My mother used to frequently say "the only time you smile is when you talk about food."
But other than Mom, who is no longer with us, I bore the pants off a lot of people with food chatter... but then if work was interesting these days I wouldn't be on CH right now :-)
Over the years, through observation and participation, I've come to learn a thing or more. As pertinent to the instant query, I simply note:
A man should know how to hold a conversation for ten minutes on most any subject; know how to hold his liquor all night; and know how to hold his tongue for as long as possible. And, remember, all three often are essential at the same time.
I offer no opinion as to how the preceding applies to those missing without a Y chromosome.
My intense talks about food and food related subjects often turn peoples eyes a blurry glaze. I seem to have surrounded myself with non-food oriented people and the subject for them is nothing more than a quick question of where is the nearest drive-thru.
I have been called a food snob as well by those who listen to me ramble on and on about food all day and all night for weeks, months and years on end, Still do. Still will. Never ending food oriented discussions no matter who or where or what. The conversation will be about food or food Will come up in conversation and many or most in close proximity of my company will have the glazed eyes, argue with me about how "it doesn't matter" and some will walk away from the discussion. Not everyone, I find, is a Chowhound.
re: Gastronomos
I'm pretty good about not overwhelming people with food talk. Most people either have food "issues" or they don't care.
I am most definitely a food snob and don't care who knows it. My actions speak louder than words and that's fine by me. Everyone knows where I stand and I'm pretty extreme about organic, real foods. When friends come to our house to eat, we inevitably start talking about food and that's when I get my chance to verbalize. Otherwise, I just do my own thing and let everyone else catch up, which they are doing.

CM Punk is number one and still has good chance of winning the Royal Rumble
By Scott Fishman
Kane announced CM Punk would be number one in the Royal Rumble match. This can be seen as punishment to some, but I think the "Best in the World" may take it another way.
Knowing his competitive nature, the superstar could see this as another challenge. If you have watched Punk's DVD or followed him through the years, you know he has had his share of obstacles to overcome.
The Chicago native has learned to make the most of opportunities and accomplish his goals despite insurmountable odds. He has built a successful career using his determination and drive to succeed.
I feel Punk wouldn't have it any other way than to kick off the Royal Rumble in a war of attrition. The longest reigning WWE champion of the modern era is no stranger to having a target on his back. In many ways Punk relishes in these situations.
Look at the TLC: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs pay-per-view when he not only survived a handicap match against every member of the Shield, but won. Earlier last year he also walked through hell taking the best Paul Heyman's evil mind had to offer.
Another thing in Punk's favor is Royal Rumble history. Shawn Michaels and Chris Benoit started out at number one and won the celebrated battle royal. Rey Mysterio and Vince McMahon also went the distance going the distance at number two. Statistically, the unlucky number has been more lucky than being the 30th entrant.
If anyone can replicate what few have done it's Punk. He has an old school work ethic with a tremendous amount of endurance. He is also smart in the squared circle.
So don't count out the talented performer just yet. Punk thrives on competition and winning the Royal Rumble would be another accomplishment in an already amazing run in WWE.

Updated On: Nov 10 2013 11:56:56 PM CST
The Southern Stone County Fire Protection District and the Stone County Sheriff's Department are investigating a house fire that they call suspicious. It happened just before 10:00 am on Sunday in a remote area near Galena.
Police were initially called to the abandoned house for a possible burglary. When police arrived on scene, they saw that the house was engulfed in flames, according to Southern Stone County Fire Protection District's Eric Nielsen.
Witnesses say they saw two juveniles run from the scene. The two juveniles were detained and questioned by police a short time later.
The house is a total loss. No one was injured. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

All-Clad in Toronto
Hi everybody:
I'm thinking of taking the plunge on a good cookware set as my old one never really distributed heat all that well and I would like to purchase a better quality set. I'm looking at the All-Clad 14 piece stainless steel set approx $1100. A number of things:
Any comments on all clad? Is it worth the investment?
Alternative choices?
Does anyone own/use this set? Are there things to watch out for or things you wish the set included?
Anyone know of a place in GTA to buy the set and save some $$$?
Folks, please keeps responses focused towards finding All-Clad in Toronto. act1966, you can post to the Cookware board to get feedback on All-Clad and alternatives. Thanks!
The Bay, William Ashley & Williams Sonoma sells the sets, and I think individual pieces as well . Unless you're going to use everthing in the set, you might be better served choosing the pieces that you will actually use and simply purchasing those rather than the set. I think they're worth the investment.
re: Truffles
Stephen - you're not going to save a ton of $$$, unless you look at buying "off" pieces at the discount table at Williams Sonoma (at the eaton center... I saw them there on Monday)
But if I recall - I think the Bay may have the best prices... I bought a set around christmas time and while they didn't go on "sale" - they threw in a whole bunch of bonus items - oven mitts, mixing bowls, etc. I think All-Clad is worth the money and they are just goregous. They perform well for me.
(on a slightly off topic note - you can probably get them in the US for way cheaper... apparently)
re: Truffles
Agree with truffles. Over the years I have picked up a number of pieces that they have run as door crashers that weren't advertized.I used them constantly over the last five years and they look the way they did new.
I have a bunch of All-Clad (started, I think, with the smaller set & have added pieces to suit over time). Cook with other brands too, depending on what I'm doing (prefer Le Creuset for stove-oven transfer). Agree with Apple that AC performs very well - great heat distribution, easy to maintain. I'd definitely buy it again if I had to. I recall The Cooks Place on the Danforth having periodic deals on the sets, but I haven't taken note in awhile. That said, my hub's Lagostina set (their "better quality" line - quality on the Lagostina label varies tremendously) from Kitchen Stuff Plus on Yonge (bought back in the day, but trying to stay local!) does a good job too (for under half the price), and I don't notice any difference unless I'm doing very fussy stuff (or disappearing from the kitchen a bit longer than planned).
I bought a 15 piece set last year in upstate NY for nearly 35% less than the Canadian retail price (around $1,000, versus over $1,500 at the time). I think the Canadian prices have dropped a bit (Golda's kitchen has the 14 piece set now for $1,340: http://www.goldaskitchen.com/merchant...), so it might be worth just buying it locally now. I highly recommend The Cook's Place on the Danforth, from a customer service standpoint. Do check with them on pricing though, as unless they're doing a special sale their prices on All-Clad are basically MSRP.
I know we're supposed to keep this thread TO-centric, but for what it's worth: All-Clad is fantastic, by the way. I've been really, really happy with my pots and pans. I cook on a gas cooktop, and find that I get very even heat distribution with the All-Clads, and no burning of food or sauces on the sidewalls like you get with some other cookware.
While you certainly won't be unhappy with All-Clad, a food professional friend of mine suggested checking out Cuisinox (www.cuisinox.com) as an alternative.
She describes it as a very well-made, Canadian, All Clad lookalike (3 layers, bottom, and sides) from Quebec. It's apparently much cheaper than All Clad and is available by the piece. She feels that it performs better than All-Clad.
Note that I have never personally used any Cusinox cookware, but I do respect her opinion. It's available at Nella Cutlery's (www.nellacutlery.com) two locations -- Queen East and Norfinch Drive.
I used to work at a place that sold All Clad (but not one of the big-name places) and maybe it was because we were a smaller retailer, but we weren't ALLOWED to put AC on sale...it was part of the deal of selling it. At Williams-Sonoma they have rotating promotions where a certain piece (usually something 'auxiliary' like a grill pan, etc.) will go much cheaper and usually with some bonus item like mitts or an apron, but I don't think that the big sets ever go on sale (I know someone who worked part-time at WS for 1/2 a year just to get staff discounts on AC...her paycheques didn't cover all the pans she bought!!).
All that said, they're FANTASTIC and you won't regret it. Just buy a set, and wait to buy all the extra fun pieces when they go on WS promotion. The nice thing about some of the smaller places mentioned on the lists here is that except for the promotions they're not more expensive, and you can also special order items - I bought a 10 piece, and then ordered a lid for the (I think) 10" fry pan separately which is something that I'm not sure you could do at WS.
Can't comment on the set, but I have two All-Clad stainless pans bought years ago and still use them all the time. Very durable.

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) -- A West Virginia man has pleaded guilty in Virginia to paying bribes to public officials.
Dwayne Allen Hardman of Charleston, W.Va., entered his plea in federal court in Norfolk on Tuesday.
Prosecutors say Hardman used to have a government contracting business in Chesapeake, Va. The business provided support to the Navy's Military Sealift Command on telecommunications projects.
Court records say that in 2005, Hardman and his business partner agreed to pay cash bribes to two Military Sealift Command officials to steer government contracts to Hardman's corporation. Hardman and his partner paid the officials about $3,000 in bribes a month until 2007, and began bribing officials again in 2009 with $25,000 in cash.
Hardman faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison when he is sentenced on June 6.
