great if you know what to expect – Now let me first tell you that I went last year not this year. So I can
Thanks for the review... appreciate recognition for our efforts and that you understand what HN is about! Briefly I'll point out that there are actually twice as many actors in House of Distortion than other two. Would love to have more everywhere (we have 50 as it is), but finances prevent it. Be sure to catch us in 2012, as there are many more things coming!
An honest and unbiased review. – Let me start out by saying a bit about myself. I'm a pretty modern girl that has worked in the entertainment industry for for over 6 years. Indeed, I didn't leave the industry until the man who introduced me to it past away. I just lost my love for it.
Fast forward 11 years when I got an email that Haunted Nashville was looking to hire people for their show. "Show?" I thought. "Never heard a haunted house call itself that before." My next thought was that I had never heard of the place before. I've worked over the years for several Haunts in this area but never heard of Haunted Nashville. Come to find out, I just missed them. As I left to move to another state for a few years, they were just getting started. This was in 09.
So I show up for auditions and I was simply floored. Even as the haunt was building new ideas, I had never in my life been to a haunted house that looked like I just strolled onto a horror movie set. It was unreal. The attention to detail was simply unmatched and as a former entertainment professional, I could see the pain staking detail and all the time that must have gone into the attraction.
I did my audition, left and decided regardless if I get a call back, I am positive to come back and go through. I just had to see it fully operational and staffed.
As luck would have it, I did get a call back and I now work for this Haunted Attraction. So how can I be unbiased and yet still work there? Because I have nothing to gain by lying. I don't get paid according to what HN makes or doesn't make. Its not thousands of hours of my life vested in it. I do what I do for the sake of the art and my total love for my character. It would be easier to just not speak at all then waste time on a lie.
I read people say that all the good reviews are written by staff. To my knowledge only The owner who posted before me, and myself have written to this board. Something no one seems to consider is the compition who write bad reviews to keep people away so they spend their money else where. Its bad form, but its happened.
Also, people mention the lack of chainsaws a lot. Well I know I myself mention there are no chainsaws when people first enter. Its fresh on their mind and so very many people never miss the loud things. I personally never found a chainsaw with no chain being weilded by someone who can't touch you as being scary.
Nathan Hamalton is brilliant in the way he gets inside your head and not only scares you external, but also gets you to scare yourself mentally. He works feverishly everyday to ensure the best possible guest experience and I can tell you from talking to hundreds of our guests after the show, that he delivers.
As you go out this Halloween season and try to decide how to spend your entertainment dollars, you need only to ask yourself this: Do I want a mindless shock show with no story, people dressed up as movie monsters, played by untrained actors that depend only on overloading your senses with blood, gore and chainsaws, or do I want a show that has a story that's engaging, trained actors, an experience that leaves you scared long after the show is over and memories you can take with you as a lone seeker or a family outing (because haunted Nashville is family friendly).
Many Haunts may well try to copy this style in the future but there will always be only one Haunted Nashville. I for one am very proud to work and have experienced (I've gone through the whole show 3 times) such an amazing attraction. Check us out for yourself!
Most sincerely,
Awesome Attraction – One of the best Haunts I have ever been to. Coming from a theatrical background and past Haunted House actor, I can honestly say this was the classiest haunt ever! Be sure to check it out before October runs out...muahahahahah.
What a great place! – We were there on Saturday night and they were incredibly busy. Based on the REAL reviews (there's so much unhelpful bad garbage to sort through) and having seen it in person, I can see why they are so busy...this place was unbelievable!
We were kept entertained as soon as we walked in the door. They have more actors walking around keeping people in line entertained than most haunts have in their attraction.
We saw all kinds of people too waiting to go in....old, very young, teens, families, and just average haunted house enthusiasts. The families is what kind of floored me because you don't see families at other haunts very often. This place is marketed as family friendly and it is. Lots of security, staff, and cops were there too.
So anyway, yes there is some waiting involved, all haunts have them, but just soak up the environment and you'll be inside the first attraction before you know it. The scenery and sound in this place is INSANE! Look around on the internet for pictures and you'll see what I'm talking about. It was like walking THROUGH a movie the whole time we were there.
After we had our picture taken in the salon, the first attraction is an old house called Turbidite Manor. It was awesome. We felt like we were walking through an abandoned home as if the family just up and left one day. There was that much detail! And the actors played logical roles that made sense. We appreciated the marriage between actors and scenery. Imagine walking through a house that was just simply abandoned 100 years or so ago and that's what this first attraction was.
After that we had to wait to get into the second attraction. While waiting though in addition to all the actors and staff talking to us in line there was this freakin' HILARIOUS stage show up on an old gypsy wagon. You've just got to see it. The guys up on the stage are peddling some medicinals. They'll pick on you and tease with you and they definitely want the teasing back at them. It was a great way to kill time and VERY entertaining.
The second attraction is called The Vault. This is kind of the control center (yes WE paid attention to the story...) of the whole attraction. Basically the premise is that you're not supposed to be in there. Once again, I've got to mention the sets....there were broken pipes gushing water everywhere, electric lines sparking, a green house, and other really cool scenes. The actors rocked it out in this one too. This haunt is new for this year. Last year this particular one was Epidemic. There was NOTHING about this place (the vault) that reminded me of last year's attraction (epidemic). Some serious cash went into this one. Take time to soak up the scenery and interact with the actors.
The third attraction is called House of Distortion. This one is just a flat out old school haunted house attraction at it's finest. The actors were unrelenting....we loved that. They were everywhere. Dead spots annoy me unless they serve a purpose. There weren't any dead spots here. This one (house of distortion) was genuinely creepy. It was. It was just creepy. We talked to some of the staff after we went through the place and they said that some of the actors that worked there didn't even feel comfortable in House of Distortion. So if you want a good old fashioned scare, that should tell you something. And once again, the scenery was like walking through a movie, and the sound was too wild. It sounded like pipes were being thrown at us in one place. The sound is that convincing. Once again, it's a mish-mash of everything "recovered" from the world's fair in Tennessee. So in short, you're going to see all kinds of stuff that you didn't expect.
We're going back! We all agree we've got to see this one again this season. You'll feel welcomed, safe, and entertained at Haunted Nashville. Go check it out.
great scares, great fun – Here's the deal, too all you bashers out there: For 6 years I worked at a haunted house that relied on terrifying the pants off people, and let's be honest, I get a kick out of making people pee themselves. I currently work for a indy-movie company doing special effects makeup. Aka, I feel I know my s**t about Haunted Houses. I'm a horror movie buff and honestly enjoy blood, gore and violence at haunted houses.
But when I went to Haunted Nashville last weekend, I thought, "this is awesome!" It was so different and yeah, so you get a little history and background story for the characters and attractions, that's what made it so cool! The stories are up on a projector as you first walk in and...
I'm betting the jerks who write bad reviews didn't get the whole backstory because they probably can't read to begin with and so could not enjoy the full effect.
With Haunted Nashville you seem to either hate it, or love it. I for one, loved it and so did the friends I brought with me. There is no false advertising, the price is reasonable (do yourself the favor and time your walk through other haunts...it's the same or less ammount of time at other haunts and generally so dark in those you would never see the flaws in the scenery.). The scenic quality is astounding and the actors are fun.
I Understand if you didn't enjoy the show, but just saying that it wasn't scary is not good review. "redefining fear" is what haunted Nashville claims to do...I think they do an excellent job of it.
Haunted Nashville is Halloween, not homicide – @johnbgood84
I am the owner of Haunted Nashville, and no I am not posting bogus positive reviews, nor am I good friends with the Parent Magazine reviewer. I did not take an ad out with Parent Magazine... I sent them a press release and the Editor (who is also a theatre critic) came out to see and review the show.
If you have a problem with our show, then simply don't come back and see us. I challenge you to find any advertising anywhere that claims that our show is anything than what it is. It is rude and offensive, not just to me but to the tens of thousands of patrons who actually have enjoyed Haunted Nashville, that you think that your personal feelings on the matter somehow supersede the opinions of our loyal customer base and you discount them as such.
Perhaps it hasn't occurred to you that the various people who have posted here regarding "chainsaws" have made mention of them because just about every other haunted house attraction (or, more accurately, shock show) relies on them... and one of the glaring distinctions for guests at Haunted Nashville is the lack of chainsaws. Whether they are scary is debatable... personally, I find them annoying at best and they disturb the rest of the show.
Please don't demean me, my cast, and my show simply because we are daring enough to try something different... something that actually revolves around Halloween and ghosts as opposed to sadism and murder... something that an entire family can enjoy and not just the niche 'blood & guts' market... something that actually takes thought and money to develop and isn't just thrown together at the last minute.
Rather than continue on, I'll let others speak for my work. If you have an issue with the reviews here, try these on for size (and no, I don't know these people personally... they gave their honest opinions of my show):

Boo-red out of my MIND! – Went this past weekend after reading a few of the reviews on this very page. It was more of a whim than anything since I live in the Hermitage area. A few friends and I wanted something to do so we looked up the nearest haunted house to our place and Haunted Nashville was the closest. I'd say that's where our first mistake was made.
TIckets were 23 buck a piece. 3 of us went, so that was $69 bucks total. Yep, $69 bucks. (pretty appropriate number seeing as how we all got SCREWED) Complete waste of hard earned money.
This place had 3 seperate sections inside and none were worth remembering. The monster people kept talking to us and we could really care less what they were mumbling on about. We came to get scared, not be given a history lesson.
I was really mislead by the reviews here and wish I would have paid more attention to them before we chose to go. Reading through them now, it really looks like the same person is writing the positive reviews under a different name. (or at least has someone else doing it for him/her) Every positve review talks about how this place doesn't have teenagers with chainsaws. Nearly EVERY one. But news flash to the person who runs this place:
CHAINSAWS ARE SCARY! GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD. Monsters delivering lines like they're auditioning for the lead in Hamlet is NOT.
Again, it's obvious an employee is leaving the positive comments. Here are a few times chainsaws/hockey masks are mentioned. Convenient? I think not. They're all nearly IDENTICAL!
"If your idea of fright via a haunted house means blood, guts, gore and chain saw-wielding teenagers wearing hockey masks..."
"If you think the only way to do a haunted house is to have people in hockey masks with chainsaws chasing you, then you will be disappointed.."
"For a few reasons, the first being it didn't involve some teenager running at you with a chainsaw.."
"If you are seeking the commonplace chainsaws, gore, and violence seen in most haunted attractions..."
"finally someone has put together and truly scary
experience without resorting to cheap chainsaw gimmicks!"
"being chased by a guy with a chainsaw" kind of haunted house. Some very cool visual effects, sets, sound effects and the actors seemed more like real actors, unlike other places that have obvious teenagers in Jason masks jumping out at you..."
I will let those bogus reviews speak for themselves. If you are reading this and are considerning paying to go to Haunted Nashville, spend your money somewhere else or give it to the bum we saw on the road near the building. At least then it will be better spent. If I could get my money back, I would. But I take it as a lesson learned. Don't trust the good reviews on Citysearch.
25 Top Haunts?? Must have been a typo, because it can't be within the top 2500! The owner must be friends with that magazine like he OBVIOUSLY is with the writer below with Nashville Parent Magazine...I mean really?? You must be pretty desperate for advertisment if you are putting ads in a PARENT MAGAZINE for haunted houses.
Anyways, I'm hitting up Slaughterhouse next week simply becuase that guy below me mentioned it. If you don't like that place, it must mean it's ACTUALLY scary. Thanks for the tip!
The BEST haunted attraction in Nashville!!!! – Just returned home from my inaugural excursion to Haunted Nashville and turned on all the lights in the house! What an amazingly scary haunt!
If your idea of fright via a haunted house means blood, guts, gore and chain saw-wielding teenagers wearing hockey masks, then go to Slaughterhouse or one of the many other cheesy haunted houses in the area... If that stuff is what gives you the creeps, then Haunted Nashville isn't for you.
I've been to myriad haunted attractions in my 40 years, and none have given me the willies like Haunted Nashville did earlier this evening. And you must keep in mind that fear is relative. What scares the snot out of one person might not phase the next one in line.
The glory -- or more appropriately, horror -- of Haunted Nashville is how it taps into and preys and plays on the basic, inherent fear of the human mind, primarily fear of the dark. Add to that incredible, Hollywood-style sets and special effects (most notable, a ghost in a rocking chair who gets up and vanishes through a wall), and you've got all you need to make your heart pound fast and clutch tightly to those with you as you tip-toe through the many dark corners, twists and turns throughout the three different structural environments.
A very creative, well-crafted storyline takes you through the entire experience, which, if you give it attention, adds to the spook factor... but you'll be equally creeped out if you don't pay attention to it.
You'll encounter a lot of live, professional, character actors representing ghosts, ghouls, zombies,etc. along the way ... each adorned with Hollywood-style makeup and costumes. One hag in particular (whom I dub "The Creeper") jumped out in front of me, I screamed, dodged around it and took off running ... when I stopped and turned around expecting to see my three pals behind me... they were no where in sight, but The Creeper was right there hands in the air (it chased me without me knowing it), more screaming from me... and yes, the 9-year-old in my group (they only let 8 people in at a time), pointed out: "Dude, you sure do scream loud for a guy!"
Haunted Nashville succinctly gave me a lot of screaming moments. It spooked me on all counts, and coming out of it, it was a LOT OF FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!
The thing I like best about this attraction is that it is family friendly, best suited for kids 8 and older. If you have kiddos in that age range, this attraction is your absolute BEST BOO BET!
--Chad Young, Managing Editor/Entertainment Editor, Nashville Parent Magazine
Not worth the hype – Ok so don't get me wrong, the place looks good, very good, but for an establishment that claims to have professional quality actors, they fell very short. They seemed to be quoting lines that at some times went on and on that you got bored just listening to them talk. If you are interested in a very slow pace Halloween attraction without scares then this Haunt is for you. If you are wanting to be scared or startled at all, then I would not recommend this attraction. It is geared towards children heavily. Just my two cents for what its worth.
serious waste of time and money – Attended with three other people last October.
This is not a haunted house. It's a scenic display, albeit, a well done one. You would be more scared strolling through an antique store with a flashlight. So if you want to look at mood lighted antiques go for it, if you're expecting to be scared, startled, or even vaguely uneasy - save your money.

Ecotality's rough patch continues, bankruptcy an option
By Andy Giegerich
Digital Managing Editor
The electric vehicle charger maker Ecotality is considering bankruptcy as it attempts to recover from a rough first two-thirds of 2013.
A financial filing by the Ecotality charging system company suggests the company could soon be sold or forced into bankruptcy.
The company (NASDAQ: ECTY), which makes charging systems for electric vehicles, revealed Monday it could need to make the moves "in the very near future" amid disappointing sales and suspension of payments from the federal government that had helped the company during its so-far lean 2013.
Ecotality also acknowledged it will not introduce its Minit Charger industrial line, which was set to roll out this year. The charger "exhibited unacceptable performance shortfalls during prototype verification testing," Ecotality conceded in its Monday filing.
What's more, the company will face an investigation from a shareholder and consumer rights litigation firm.
Company officials told SBO earlier this year that it had consolidated its Portland sales force but that the Blink charging station-maker was "committed to expanding upon the already rich infrastructure we have helped build in the state."
Ecotality had received more than $90 milliion in funding through the recently ended federal stimulus program.
AP reported that the San Francisco-based company hired a restructuring adviser to evaluate options including new financing or a possible sale.
Its stock plunged $1.15, or 79.8 percent, to 31 cents in Monday's trading.
Zeldes Haeggquist & Eck LLP, a San Diego-based shareholder and consumer rights litigation firm, is looking into whether the company's leaders "violated the federal securities laws or breached their fiduciary duties owed to the Company and its shareholders."

And if you have a guy who is a great pass rusher generally you don't move him to a position where he doesn't rush the passer much.
For instance. Denver which runs a 4-3 drafted Von Miller. Who played a similar position to Jones, but did drop into coverage more often. Denver essentially just plays Miller at DE now. Hand up or hand down. He rushes the passer on every pass play except for the occasional zone drop (not any different than Osi or JPp dropping into coverage).
I don't dislike Jones at all. But saying he's a linebacker is simply untrue. He would have to show the ability to play there. Which he has not done in college. He is a pass rusher. That's where he plays, that's where he excels.
RD1. DT Aaron Donald PITT / ARD1. CB Justin Gilbert OKST
RD2. TE Jace Amaro Texas Tech
RD3. CB Stanley jean Baptiste Nebraska / ADR3. DT Dominique Easley Florida
RD4. WR Cody Latimer Indiana
RD.5 DE Ed Stinson Alabama
RD5B. C/OG Tyler Larsen Utah
RD6. OLB Kevin Pierre-Louis Boston College
And of course size is always important. Generally a guy who is under 260 pounds is not going to be great against the run from the DE spot.

Carpool lane violators on Interstate 405 are a problem, says one Patch community member.
He writes that the Washington State Patrol should better monitor Interstate 405 and State Route 520 for high-occupancy vehicle lane violators:
Every morning when taking the exit from 405 to Redmond to 520 there are numerous violators who drive in the carpool lane with only one person in the car, as they try to beat the traffic rush. If the WSP had a patrol car there to catch these violators the state would benenfit greatly from the additional source of income, which I think it could use to provide needed services. I will look forward to seeing the WSP on the job soon.
What do you think? Do you agree that HOV lane violations are a problem?
According to the Washington State Department of Transportation, the state's hotspots for HOV lane violations include: Interstate 405 in downtown Bellevue, Totem Lake SR and between State Route 167 and Interstate 90; and State Route 520 at 84th and 92nd Avenues NE.
In Washington, motorists can report violations themselves through the Washington State Department of Transportation's HERO program, either online through the or by calling at 1-877-764-HERO. The state send an educational brochure to first-time violators. Second-time HOV lane violators are sent a letter from WSDOT. Third-time HOV lane violators are sent a letter from the Washington State Patrol, according to the state's HERO page.
In 2010, Washington issued 7,570 tickets and 2,850 warnings to carpool lane violators statewide, according to the state.
Patch community, we ask you: Have you ever turned a carpool lane violator in? Do you ever find yourself in the HOV lane when you don't have another passenger in the car? Tell us why in the comments.

What's not so crazy, but just as entertaining, is the fact that Jets Coach Rex Ryan is once again running his mouth to the media and talking trash the week before his team will take on the unstoppable New England Patriots. Thank you, Rex Ryan, for having a big mouth. I am even more excited to watch this playoff game.
When Ryan took the helm two years ago, I remember that he made some off-the-wall guarantees that his team would make the playoffs. He guaranteed the Jets would be one of the best teams in the NFL. While the Jets had seen some improvement in previous years, I thought there was no way in hell he was going to find a way into the playoffs with rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez at the helm. I had already seen what little USC's Matt Leinart did in the NFL and had no pipedreams of Sanchez doing the same.
But somehow Ryan built a team that played impressively throughout the season and made it to the playoffs, where they beat the Chargers in the divisional playoff game but lost to the Colts in the AFC Championship game a week later. For a rookie quarterback and a first-year head coach, it was an impressive run. While the Jets didn't exactly win the Super Bowl, I would say Rex Ryan fulfilled his lofty early-season guarantees.
Fast forward to the end of this year. The Jets finish the regular season at 11-5. Sanchez at times looked to be a seasoned NFL veteran. At other times, he looked to be a third-stringer thrown in at the last minute with a handful of bad decisions and poor throws.
Even after an entire season, with a winning record, I don't think anybody really knows how good or bad the Jets are this year.
Yes, they won 11 games but two of those games were in overtime against dismal teams like the Browns and Lions.
In Week 14, the Jets were unable to get into the end zone and lost to the Dolphins 10-6. Probably the most interesting games to look at are the two that were played against the Patriots. The Jets handed pretty boy Tom Brady, who continually looks to be conditioning himself to star in Hollywood's next teen vampire thriller, a 28-14 loss in Week 2. That win, though, is shadowed by the 45-3 beat down New England handed the Jets in Week 13.
So now the two teams are set to meet in an end-all rubber match in Foxborough on Sunday, and six days before the game, Ryan once again was running his mouth.
"This is about Bill Belichick vs. Rex Ryan," he said on Monday. "There's no question. It's personal. It's about him versus myself, and that's what it's going to come down to."
I love it. Forget about the players on the field. This is about the hatred and respect felt between two coaches. Rex Ryan is calling Bill Belichick out personally. Why? Who knows. Ryan called out Manning the week before and I guess you could say it worked. The Jets did knock out the Colts, though, I am not sure it was the mistakes of Manning that caused the loss.
Frankly, in a professional sports world where players and coaches are supposed to say the proper thing over and over again – you know, the "boy it's an honor to be playing a great team under terrific coaching. We are just taking it one game at a time blah blah blah" – it's refreshing to hear a coach spice it up a bit.
"This is going to be about me raising my level against Bill Belichick," Ryan continued.
Thank you Rex for making this game fun. I hope it works for you because I would like to hear more trash-talking next week. And the week after that. I wouldn't mind hearing Rex talk trash all the way to the Super Bowl. He has a bit of Phil Jackson's mind game philosophy in him.
Will it work for Rex as it usually does for Jackson? As much as I hate to say this, I don't see how the Jets are going to beat the Patriots. This time, Rex's alligator mouth is going to outrun his mosquito ass. I'm sure it will be a game to watch. It will be personal.

Hiring called into question by East board member
By Stephanie Lulay email@example.com January 18, 2013 7:10PM
Updated: February 22, 2013 6:20AM
AURORA — An East Aurora School Board member is raising questions about a school administrator who is slated to be officially hired next week.
East board member Ray Hull said Friday he will not vote to approve the appointment of a new operations manager at the board's Tuesday night meeting. The district's personnel report, which would include the hiring, usually is rubber-stamped by the board.
"I don't have enough information about the candidate and his credentials," Hull said. "I have asked for that information and I have not received it."
The School Board is scheduled to vote on the appointment of contractor Marty Feltes as the district's new operations manager, an administrative post.
Feltes has longtime ties to East Aurora board member Richard Leonard. Leonard, who served on the four-person committee that recommended hiring Feltes, said he's "absolutely" good friends with Feltes.
"I wouldn't recommend him if I wasn't. I have a lot of friends and Marty is the only one I'd recommend for this job," Leonard said.
"(Superintendent) Dr. (Jerome) Roberts is the one who makes the final choice," Leonard noted.
Job posting
The School District posted the operations manager job opening in March, May, August and November of 2012, according to Joan Glotzbach, assistant superintendent of human resources.
The March job posting was advertised in three places: on the district's website, in The Beacon-News and on Monster.com, an online job site. In May, it was advertised in two places: in the Chicago Tribune and on the Careerbuilder.com website for 30 days.
In the job postings on Aug. 24 and Nov. 30, the job opening was only advertised on the district's website.
The March and May job descriptions listed nine qualifications for appointment to the administrative position. The first qualification was a bachelor's degree from an accredited university or college.
But when the position was reposted in August, the job description was revised, listing the first qualification as a bachelor's degree or "commensurate" — meaning equal — work experience.
Feltes, a lifelong East Sider, has owned Marty Feltes Plumbing and Heating since 1984. He has been a contractor since 1967 and has been friends with Leonard since he was 15-years-old.
"Many businesses accept life experiences as equal to a college degree," Feltes said.
Leonard said the operations manager position does not need to be a college graduate.
"We had Nestor (Garcia) in there for how many years? And that did not serve us very well," Leonard said.
Nestor Garcia, who has a master's degree, is the former director of operations at East Aurora but now serves as the district's athletics and student activities director.
Interview process
The most recent round of operations manager candidates were interviewed by four people, according to board members: Leonard, Roberts, Glotzbach and board member Anita Lewis. Leonard is chairman of the district's Buildings and Grounds Committee.
Hull, who serves on the Buildings and Grounds Committee, did not sit in on the December operations manager interviews. He did sit in on earlier interviews when the district did not hire any candidate.
Hull said he, too, had a friend who applied for operations manager position, but that candidate was not interviewed.
Hull said Leonard had a conflict of interest in the hiring of Feltes.
"In the future, if there are issues with the director of operations — how can Mr. Leonard fairly participate in a process that may result in a disciplinary action or dismissal?" Hull asked.
Leonard said he did not think being part of the hiring committee was a conflict of interest.
"(Feltes) is a businessman, he ran maintenance at Provena for 25 years. He has the best qualifications for this position and the (maintenance department) is starved for knowledge," Leonard said.
School Board President Annette Johnson said she was aware that Leonard and Feltes were friends, but did not give it much thought.
The candidates who interviewed for the position in the first half of the year did not meet the district's criteria — prior experience overseeing multiple facilities and supervising a large number of personnel, Hull said.
Hull said that the group of candidates who interviewed in December were previously disqualified in the initial job search. They were never interviewed in earlier rounds, he said.
"In other words, Mr. Feltes did not make the cut the last time," Hull said. "So I'm not sure what changed that he became the most qualified candidate in this round of interviews when he was deemed to not even get an interview the last time."
Feltes said he has worked on projects at East's Dieterich Elementary School and East High.
"It's a free-for-all in the maintenance department. The amount of work that's getting done is minimal at best," Feltes said. "That's why I'm interested in taking a position there, because I think I can make a difference."
According to the East Aurora job description, the operations manager is responsible for grounds, maintenance, emergency procedures, and custodial services.
The new operations manager falls within a pay grade of $66,900 to $92,455. An exact salary was not available Friday.
East Aurora also employs a construction manager. According to that job description, Construction Manager David Finlay is responsible for the district's construction, renovation and maintenance projects.
Finlay has a degree in architecture, is paid a salary of $77,900 and was hired July 1, 2011.
Leonard said he has issues with Finlay's performance. Johnson said the construction manager position will not be eliminated at this time.

The outspoken Apple investor pitches others on his plan to set up a recurring payout called iPrefs.
The hedge fund manager suing Apple over its mountain of cash will address investors in a conference call and Webcast on Thursday.
CEO Tim Cook says during a Goldman conference that the company doesn't have a Depression-era mindset and the lawsuit filed by David Einhorn's Greenlight hedge fund is a waste of time and money.
The company removes a proposal that would eliminate its ability to issue "blank check" preferred stock without investor approval.
Legal victory for hedge fund manager's bid to force Apple to share more of its wealth with investors.
The hedge fund manager's injunction request would "harm the public interest," Apple says in its response.
David Einhorn's hedge fund, Greenlight Capital, drops the investment it made in Yahoo, saying the profit it had hoped to see from the Internet giant's stake in China's Alibaba Group didn't pan out.
The judge hearing arguments over a proxy proposal says he sees merit in case, but he does not immediately issue a ruling on whether to block the shareholder vote.
Apple is set to announce how it will reallocate its growing stash of cash, says a top executive at a New York-based investment firm.
Greenlight Capital says the issue in the suit was resolved when Apple removed the proposal related to preferred shares from consideration at its shareholder meeting.

Fainting spells can be caused by a number of factors. Tilt table testing is designed to evaluate how your body regulates blood pressure in response to simple stress.
Tilt table testing is designed to evaluate how your body regulates blood pressure in response to some very simple stresses. Blood pressure is regulated by a set of nerves, which operate continuously. These nerves ensure that there is always enough blood going to the brain and to distribute blood to other organs according to their needs. These changes in blood pressure are accomplished by making changes in the way the heart beats and by making changes in the size of certain blood vessels.
At times, the nerves which control blood pressure may not operate properly and may cause a reaction which can cause your blood pressure to drop suddenly. This reaction may produce a fainting spell or a number of symptoms including severe lightheadedness. Tilt table testing is designed to determine the likelihood that a patient is susceptible to this type of reaction.
You will be asked to lie quietly on the table and keep your legs still. The table has three safety straps - one around your chest, one around your waist and one around your knees- which keep you from slipping as the table is moved. You will be connected to three monitors during the test:
For the first ten minutes, you will relax while baseline data is collected. Then the head of the table will be raised to 80 degrees. You will be asked to remain still in this position for about 40 minutes. If you remain without negative symptoms after 40 minutes, the medical provider will determine if nitroglycerin will be given to increase your heart rate and lower your blood pressure. After the nitroglycerin is administered, the remainder of the test lasts 5 to10 minutes longer. If you are without symptoms after this portion of the test than the test is complete. A possible side effect with this procedure is a headache. The entire procedure lasts about one hour. During the test, you may pass out, you may feel the symptoms you have when you're about to pass out, or you may feel nothing at all. It is important to inform the medical staff of any symptoms you feel.

The Host of Hollywood
"ET" anchor Bob Goen's easygoing approach gets celebrities to open up.
Joel Drucker
From the Print Edition:
Sharon Stone, July/Aug 2004
(continued from page 2)
And celebrities in kind value Goen's low-key approach. If you were trying to cast a "regular guy," you couldn't do much better than Goen. "I'm naturally frivolous by nature," he says, "which probably makes people want to enjoy themselves around me. I'm accessible, just the guy from down the street."
Goen's affable manner has proven particularly helpful when he's interviewed movie stars. Oscar-winning actresses Nicole Kidman, Halle Berry and Julia Roberts all get on well with Goen. He has built a trust level with Kidman so high that the Aussie actress invited him to be the only journalist on the set of her 2001 film Moulin Rouge while it was shooting in Sydney, Australia. Berry regaled him while on the set of the most recent James Bond movie, Die Another Day.
But it's the reticent Roberts he finds deceptively mischievous. One time, during the New York premiere for the 1997 film My Best Friend's Wedding, he wasn't feeling at the top of his game, so Goen asked the star to interview him. She complied. And while visiting Roberts in London when she was on location shooting the 1999 romantic comedy Notting Hill with Hugh Grant, Goen noted how amazing it was to see "Julia Roberts on the street." Countered Roberts, "Gee, Bob, you make it sound like I've hit the skids."
Then there are those no-so-lighthearted moments. While interviewing Elton John for an AIDS benefit, Goen asked the singer how often he was tested for the disease. Twice a year, John responded. With no further prodding, the star launched into a discussion of everything from his sexuality to his substance abuse—including his lowest point, when John confessed he crawled on the floor of his home in a vomit-stained dressing gown in search of cocaine. "You just shut up and get out of the way," says Goen. "That came early on here, and I think it showed me these entertainers felt they could open up in front of me."
But nowhere does Goen pinch himself more for all his good luck than when he gets to interview comedians. One reason for this goes back to Goen's own ambitions and a short detour he took on his way to achieving them.
Goen grew up in comfortable surroundings in Long Beach, California, a city near Los Angeles but far removed from Hollywood. From his early teens, he dreamed of being a game show host. "Everyone was having a good time, and the host was right in the center of it," he says. "There was no heavy lifting." Noting that most of the game show hosts of those days started in radio, he set out to become a broadcaster, studying radio journalism at San Diego State University (he graduated with a degree in telecommunications and film in 1976) and working as a disc jockey at KPRO in Riverside, California.
In 1975 stand-up comedy was taking off. Goen regularly watched a young Robin Williams, David Letterman and others perform at The Comedy Store in La Jolla, and he thought he had a shot as a comedian. After two years of watching, he entered the arena. On October 31, 1977, Cinderella walked onstage at The Comedy Store in Hollywood. And immediately turned into a pumpkin.
"I was terrible," says Goen. "I had no presence, no style, no material." One reason for this, Goen's been told, is that he lacks much of the angst that's the wellspring of most comedy.
Virtually sprinting off the stage, Goen entered his car and cried. Then he had an epiphany. "I realized right then that my strike zone was as a broadcaster and a host," he says. As he headed home down Sunset Boulevard, he gazed at the billboards of the stars up in the sky and vowed that one day his face would grace one of them.
For five years in the early '80s, Goen worked as a one-man sports department for TV station KESQ in Palm Springs. From hoisting a 12-pound camera to conducting interviews, editing footage and talking on-air, Goen never stopped, often going from interviews with notables such as Muhammad Ali by day to coverage of high school water polo games by night.

I can't tell you how many times I reach for this tool. I work mostly on electric guitars and this tool gets used on nearly every job. The only thing I need to to do is label one end "tighty" and the other end "loosy"
I had a problem with the selector (toggle) switch on my Les Paul Supreme when I first got it. The switch was bad so Gibson replaced it under warranty. The problem with that is in order to access the switch you have to drop the neck pickup out. There is no access plate on the back of the guitar. I got the guitar back from the repair shop and the switch was still loose. Rather than return the guitar to the shop I ordered one of these. I was a little skeptical that it would resolve the problem, however, I held the toggle firmly and used this spanner to tighten the knurled nut on the outside of the guitar. It tightened the switch and I have had no further problems with the switch coming loose since doing so. I can also say that it did not leave any marks on the guitar from tightening the switch. It was worth the money to me! Thank you Stew-Mac.
Every electric guitar case needs to have one. Very useful.
Poor at best. It WILL get under tight areas, but does not hold well, and the teeth on the edges could mar your finish. If your fingers do not have room it is better than nothing, but that is about it. (I was trying to adjust the thumb-wheel on a tune-a-matic bridge on a Fender Strat).
This tool does exactly what it is meant to - perfect!
I use this wrench for lots of small jobs when a normal wrench would risk scratching the finish or grinding away at the nut leaving tooling marks. I always have it nearby!
Nice little tool thst does the job well.
This was just an add-on to another article I ordered. But the ESP Multi Spanner is as good as simple!
Tightening a guitar pot without removing the knob anymore - no problem. And this is only one example!
simple and very useful tool. Must have for tightening those hard-to-grip nuts on gibson switches.
I use this inexpensive and cost-effective tool for a variety of little jobs from tightening a loose output jack (in combination with "Jack the Gripper") to adjust the bridge thumbweel and many more. However the best use you can make of this Multi Spanner is to tighten or loose Gibson style switches without scratching the plate and ruining the knurled nut! One tool for many applications, a must have!

Introducing Ramadan to neighbors?
Sep 04, 2008 10:17 AM »
Do you do anything to introduce Ramadan or actually Islam to your neighbours at this time? I am trying to be thoughtful to them but I worry they will think it preaching?

I take a plate of food round at Irftar time, tell them its the ramadan and we share our food when we break fast.
I make more friends this way.
And when My servants question thee concerning Me, then surely I am nigh. I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he crieth unto Me. So let them hear My call and let them trust in Me, in order that they may be led aright. Surah 2 Verse 186

I knew one palestinian sister in school who would have these chocolates and would have a nice ramadan message printed up and put inside with them.
You can even order or make things like these
"Peace cookies"
to give to your neighbors.
I didn't really do anything for ramadan but after it was over for eid I would bring in baklava or cake or something for my co-workers and they seemed to really appreciate that

Found this nice related article:
8 tips on sharing Ramadan with your neighbors
Ramadan is a great opportunity to share Islam its values of spirituality, generosity and kindness with others, especially your neighbors. It's a great time to do Dawa and explain our faith as well as our Muslim culture. And Dawa and intercultural understanding are very much needed in the current atmosphere of anger, tension and sadness in the wake of September 11, 2001.
Here are some ideas on how you can share the joy with your neighbors this Ramadan.
1. Begin with Dua
Make Dua that Allah give you and your family the sincerity, strength, motivation and wisdom to do this. Dawa is hard work, and it needs preparation, commitment and organization.
2. Put up a Ramadan banner on your door
This can be something handmade or something more formal.
But don't stop there. Print out a factsheet on Ramadan and stick that on the door to educate readers passing by about the blessed month and what it means to Muslims. Include some pictures of Ramadan (i.e. everyone sitting together and eating for Sehri and Iftar, what kind of food is served, etc.)
3. Send neighbors Iftar snacks
Include a note with the food that the month of Ramadan is here and you are sharing your joy with them.
You can offer snacks that are not just "American" but also ethnic, especially things like Pakoras, Samosas, and other finger foods. Include index cards with the snacks listing all of the ingredients. This will help neighbors avoid food that causes allergies.
4. Give kids Ramadan Mubarak balloons and candy
Let your neighbors' kids also feel the happiness of Ramadan by including chocolate and candy among your snacks. Balloons also add a nice touch, and if you can get some printed which have "Ramadan Mubarak" written on them, they may remember the blessed month even after it has passed.
5. Publish Ramadan information in your neighborhood newsletter
If you are part of a tenants' association, a group within your housing complex or your neighborhood block parents' association and they publish a newsletter, inform them about Ramadan and prepare a short write-up about the month. Don't just present dry facts about Ramadan though. Discuss how your family celebrates it, or how you celebrated it back home. This is a great way of informing many more neighbors about Ramadan.
6. Have a neighborhood Iftar gathering
You don't have to invite everyone. Perhaps just the closest neighbors can attend this event. Send handmade invitations for an "Iftar gathering" at most a week in advance (avoid the word "party" as it may be misunderstood to mean a gathering including alcohol, etc.).
Ask about allergies or other food issues before establishing the menu. Include American and ethnic food.
Also, have some written material on Ramadan available for your guests. You can print out this factsheet and put it on some fancy paper to add to the festive air of the evening.
At the gathering:
Be cordial, generous and friendly, but maintain Islamic rules of behavior and modesty. This should not be a "party" in the common understanding, but more of a religious celebration that is spiritual and respectful to all.
Don't impose information. Just let guests ask questions, if they want to. As well, be ready for questions about Islam and violence/terrorism, the oppression of women, etc. Give neighbors the benefit of the doubt and clarify their misunderstanding in a calm, gentle manner.
Talk about Ramadan not just in America, but also in different Muslim countries. How it differs in terms of what kinds of foods are served or timing, etc. This will make Ramadan come alive and be seen as something real and spiritual versus just another religious obligation.
7. Get your kids on it
Tell your kids to inform other neighbors' kids what Ramadan is all about and have the children invite their classmates to your Iftar gatherings.
8. Talk about what Ramadan means to you
What's it like to fast? How do you work/go to school and still fast? What kind of food do Muslims eat during Iftar and Sehri? These are some questions you may be asked. Don't just point your guests to the pamphlets. Tell them and use some personal examples they can relate to.

Do you worry about the hand shake? Is it better to leave the food with a note and go?

428: Starwatching
Title text: I always figured the word 'blog' would sound *less* silly as the years went by.
[edit] Explanation
Randall is using the scene from The Lion King where Simba is remembering a moment when his father, Mufasa, explained the night sky to him saying, 'the great kings of the past are up there' as a setting for this conversation between Cueball and Megan. This reminds Cueball of the scene later in the movie where Mufasa appears to Simba in the clouds and speaks to him. Megan interrupts, telling Cueball that he needs to be away from the computer more so he doesn't connect everything to Cory Doctorow, but he also shouldn't go near other people for fear of creeping them out.
In the title text, Randall mentions that the word blog—a portmanteau of 'web log'—is a silly word, despite becoming common in usage.
[edit] Transcript
- Cueball: Just look at those stars.
- Cueball: My father once told me that the great bloggers of the past are up there, watching over us.
- Cueball: High above the blogosphere, a gap opens in the tag clouds. Cory Doctorow's voice booms forth...
- Megan: You need to get out either more or less. I can't decide.
An interesting interpretation. I thought Cueball was just referencing The Lion King. 18.104.22.168 00:53, 4 July 2013 (UTC)My thoughts exactly. "Great kings of the past," "great bloggers of the past"... I don't think there was any intended reference to Christianity. 220.127.116.11 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

Over the past few seasons Oxford High School has produced quite a few Division I football players.
The Yellow Jackets, who went 12-2 and reached the 6A semifinals this past season, grabbed the nation's attention when highly-sought after linebacker Kwon Alexander (LSU) and Trae Elston (Ole Miss) signed live on ESPN.
The way things are going, it seems they could grab some of the spotlight again on national signing day.
Junior defensive lineman Trent Simpson received an offer from the SEC's Mississippi State recently.
The 6-foot-5, 240-pounder had a standout season this past fall, with 52 tackles, including nine for loss, and seven sacks as he made his debut on The Star's Class 4A-6A All-Calhoun County squad.
Should Simpson, the younger brother of Oxford pitcher Tucker Simpson, a University of Florida signee, sign with a BCS school in February, he'd be joining a growing list of Yellow Jackets' defensive linemen at the next level.
Former Oxford standouts playing big-time college football include John Clark (Troy), Jared Morse (Vanderbilt) and Allan Carson (Tennessee). Alumni Dimitri Orr recently signed to Division II power house North Alabama after successful seasons at a pair of junior colleges.
The Yellow Jackets should once again be a nightmare for opposing offensive lines this fall. They'll also have defensive lineman Ulrich Jones, one of the state's top recruits.
• Garner to sign: Piedmont's Sloan Garner has made his decision.
The 6-foot-7 senior will sign a basketball scholarship with Gadsden State Community College at a ceremony set for 2 p.m. today.
Garner, was selected to play in the North-South all-star game, following his junior season during which he and the Bulldogs advanced to Class 3A state Final 48 tournament. After the graduation of former teammate Jamaal Johnson, now playing football at Jacksonville State, Garner became Piedmont's leading scorer.
He averaged a double-double at 19.7 points and 10.2 rebounds per game as a senior to lead the Bulldogs to 20-12 record, a Class 3A, Area 9 title and an appearance in the Northeast Regional tournament. He was a first-team selection to the Alabama Sports Writers Association all-state squad in football. He was second-team choice on the hardwood.
He was also selected to The Star's Fab Five team, comprised of the best players in the paper's coverage area regardless of classification.
"It was just a commitment thing," said Garner, who gave the Cardinals a verbal pledge two weeks after basketball season ended.
"A few weeks ago, Shelton State called and offered me, but I figured since I'd been committed to Gadsden so long that's what I should do."
Garner said the offer from Shelton State was enticing given its proximity to the University of Alabama and its recent success, having gone 26-4 record this past season.
"It was really (Gadsden State) coach (Todd) Ginn," Garner said. "I believe in him. We're about to get this program on the right track and start winning ball games. He gets guys to play after Gadsden State. I believe in what he's done and what he's going to do."
• Blasts from the past: Former Saks softball standout Cara Law, Now at Lindsey Williams College in Kentucky, was recently named Mid-South Conference Pitcher of the Year. The junior went 19-4 went 12 complete games and seven shutouts. She racked up 114 strikeouts while giving up 30 earned runs on 41 hits. Law was also named to the academic all-conference team.
Oxford alumnus Saxon Butler was named chosen as one of Collegiate Baseball's Players of the Week. The 6-foot-2, 225-pound Samford first baseman went 9-for-21 with three home runs, two doubles, a triple and 11 RBIs last week.
